Chapter 15: Rain
"Spare your daughter?" said Xuanniao, "Do you know my purpose?"
"If it weren't for that, who else would be looking for me?" said the woman.
"What is it?" said Xuanniao frowned.
"You really don't know?" said the woman, "why did you come to me if you didn't know?"
"You mean you're a xeno?" said Xuanniao.
"Xeno?" the woman wondered.
Xuanniao said, "That's it...... Special abilities. What are your abilities?"
"...... so" the glint in the woman's eyes went out, she lowered her head and pointed to the ground with her finger. Xuanniao followed her gaze, only to see that the rain on the ground stopped flowing downward, and gradually began to converge, and then the water flowed in defiance of Newton's laws - in other words, this description is not beautiful - in other words, my sentence is also very abrupt, don't smash don't smash and wait for me to delete this paragraph, ouch, the instant upload can't be deleted - and then the water rushed up, converging towards the woman's fingers.
"Control the water. "What about your husband?" disappeared mysteriously twelve years ago, and the police didn't find any news. ”
"I don't know ......," the woman said.
"You don't know?" said Xuanniao, "what kind of person do you think can make a person mysteriously disappear without leaving any clues?"
The woman was silent for a while, and then said, "You mean, I killed my husband?" and she smiled sadly, "That's what everyone thinks." ”
"So what about the facts?" said Gentori.
"I said no, would you believe it?" said the woman.
"Of course not. Xuanniao sneered, "The police can't arrest you without evidence, and I can?"
The woman smiled wryly.
"Who are you?" she said.
"Me?" said Xuanniao, "probably the same as your daughter." ”
"A man who has lost his father. ”
"Ah Yuan...... I don't know where he went, and all of a sudden, he disappeared without saying anything," the woman ignored Xuanniao and muttered to herself, "Maybe he hates me too." ”
The water began to swirl around the woman's body.
"This is a sinner," the same fire burned around Xuanniao, "the retribution he deserves." ”
The woman laughed, tears pouring out of her eyes and beginning to flow.
"Sinner......" she whispered, and suddenly all the swirling water seemed to be out of control. The woman suddenly knelt down in front of the Xuanniao as if she had lost all her strength.
Xuanniao looked at her puzzled.
The woman looked up at her, "Can you spare my daughter?"
Xuanniao frowned, she hadn't thought about it yet. She had never thought about it before on a mission - she never thought about anything outside of the mission, even if it seemed to be within the mission. What's the use of thinking about it? These evils that should be eliminated and that should not exist must be eliminated after all, and thinking too much about things will only lead to hesitation.
"If your daughter isn't a xenomorph. Xuanniao said.
The woman was silent. The answer wasn't what she expected, but it wasn't the one she feared either. At the end of the day, she knows what kind of answer she will get in this situation. But why destroy xenomorphs? Just because they have special abilities that can cause harm to ordinary people? But if you want to do damage to ordinary people, you don't need special abilities at all, a car, or even a knife. What is the point of this woman, these people, what they are doing?
"Are you ready?" said Xuanniao, a little impatient. She didn't want to waste too much time on it.
"If you kill me because I have the power, what about you?" said the woman. She knew she shouldn't say it, and if the other party was angry, her daughter's life could be in danger. But she looked at the girl in front of her, although she put on a murderous face, she was actually only a young man in her early twenties, and for some reason, she inexplicably believed that the girl would not do too cruel acts, such as killing her daughter.
Xuanniao was stunned. She had never thought about it, and all along her justification for solving the mission objectives was simply because these xenos would cause irreparable harm to others, just like her father had suffered. So even if she couldn't bear it, she would never fail to do it, and in her heart, these people were as unforgivable as the lizardman who killed her father, so she was just helping justice carry out the trial. But what are the sins of this woman in front of them, and her daughter?
For a moment, Gentori almost tried to convince herself to let the girl go, but the next moment, the thought of "this woman killed her husband" came back again. Even if there is no clear evidence, the mysterious disappearance of the woman's husband and other doubts are enough to make this inference. If she is left behind, who knows if she will kill others in the future? Special abilities do not belong to human beings after all, they are unstable and uncontrollable. Xenos shouldn't live with humans at all, just like ...... She's like that with her boyfriend. She had tried her best to distance herself from him, and sometimes only staying with her companions in the Chinese Society would make her feel at ease.
"Me too. "One day, I'll be killed." ”
She approached the woman and looked her in the eye, "You know what. Xenos weren't supposed to exist in this world. ”
The woman sighed.
"Let's do it. Xuanniao said, "Do your best." ”
The woman shook her head. She stood up, put her hands behind her back, and closed her eyes. "Let's do it. ”
Xuanniao frowned, "What do you mean?"
"As you say, I'm going to die. The woman closed her eyes tightly, "Spare my daughter." ”
Xuanniao was silent.
"You have a chance to escape. ”
"If I run away, will you spare my daughter?" said the woman.
This has nothing to do with your daughter, Xuanniao wanted to say so. But she thought it was nonsense, and no mother would believe the enemy to say that.
"If you don't do it, will I let your daughter go?" said Xuanniao.
The woman stared into the eyes of the bird. She whispered, "I believe in you." ”
Xuanniao was a little incredulous. She didn't know where a woman's belief came from, or where she didn't believe it would come from. They have never known each other, and she wants to kill each other when they meet for the first time, where does she come from to believe it?
"Don't worry. Xuanniao said.
Genniao remembered her mother. Her parents divorced since she was a child, and she hardly saw her mother, only a vague impression of a woman holding herself and singing lullabies. It was next to a huge floor-to-ceiling fan, and outside the window was a mixture of colors. It was all so hazy, as if it were in a dream. She had never seen her mother in real life, and she didn't know her appearance, figure, or voice...... Only occasionally when I think of my mother, there will be a lullaby melody that seems to come from the sky......
However, my father also died four years ago. Since then, she's been alone.
"Thank you. The woman said.
Xuanniao looked at the woman, and finally relented, her eyes were red, and the flames around her suddenly burned violently. Suddenly, she let go of her clenched fist and pulled out a dagger of about twenty centimeters, the blade was slender and glowing red, and the tip of the knife was carved with a flamingo with its wings outstretched.
Gentori threw the knife to the woman.
"Do it yourself. ”
The woman opened her eyes and saw the delicate dagger in front of her, and glanced at Xuanniao. She also knew that it was definitely not good to be burned to death. She picked up the knife and brought it to Xuanniao, shaking her head at her.
Xuanniao put away the knife and saw the woman biting her lip. The woman turned and walked towards the side of the road, which ended in the main road, where there was a lot of traffic, and the cars that came and went on the road flashed in curves and disappeared. Genniao could see the trembling of the woman's body.
"Is it really the right thing to do? For the first time, Gentori began to doubt himself. She sat down on the floor. His body had already been wet from the rain, and his face was full of traces of rain. Xuanniao thought, just cry.
The figure of the woman walked to the middle of the main road, and without looking back, a speeding truck drove by.
Xuanniao closed his eyes.
