Chapter 90: The Trigger for the Holy Grail

The word "providence" came out of Qianrou's mouth, and there was really a ridiculous meaning, as if it was full of irony.

Lird looked at Qianrou, this statement obviously did not make him acceptable, and he waited for Qianrou's further explanation.

There was no wind or any air currents in the tent, but for some reason the faint candle flame on the lamps flickered and flickered, as if they would be extinguished in the next moment.

Under the candlelight, the luster on Qianrou's face also became cloudy, just like her current struggling heart.

In the end, Qianrou set her eyes on Pym, who was lying on the hospital bed, and her expression seemed to be in some kind of trance.

"Mr. Pym has already told you about that day, and I don't think I need to repeat it any more. It can be said that it was something that no one expected, and it was that incident that prompted a series of events to happen. ”

Lird nodded and said, "I know this well, and my father has told me that he was worried that you would kill him, but you ended up keeping him and trusting him unconditionally. ”

There was a hint of bitterness at the corners of Qianrou's mouth, and she slowly began to pace in the tent, and then said softly: "Actually, no, I am not as kind as Mr. Pym imagined, he is just used to using his own kind mind to identify other people's minds. In fact, when it happened, the first thought that came to my mind was to kill Mr. Pym. ”

Qianrou's words did not cause Lird's worry and anger, in fact, Qianrou's words further gained Lird's trust, Lird believed that Qianrou's words were from the heart, and in that case, simply empathize with Qianrou's initial judgment that anyone would be able to understand, and I think that a large number of people would follow her first judgment.

Killing Pym is definitely a "good way" to get to the root of the problem.

But Qianrou didn't choose to do it in the end, and this is the root cause of everything that happened today.

Qian Ju said: "At that time, I felt very conflicted, you must know that Mr. Pym is the savior of our clan, and acting in a way of revenge is definitely not something that the Atlantean clan can do, but it is also difficult for me to convince myself to let him go, after all, the secrets he has come into contact with are too big, and I can't bet the lives of the whole clan on the humanity of one person." ”

Lird smiled and nodded, "This is not false. ”

Qianrou looked at Lird and said, "If you were in my place, would you make such a choice?" Qianrou's tone was not so much asking Lird as asking Lird for something.

Lird thought for a moment and said, "I may not be able to do better than you. ”

This ambiguous-sounding ambiguous remark really gave Qian Rou a lot of comfort, and she chuckled and continued: "Just as the scales in my heart began to pour out in the direction of revenge, I suddenly realized the question of why the [power] appeared in front of Mr. Yupym's eyes that night. ”

Lird frowned when he heard this, and then questioned a little: "This... Is there any moral to it?"

Qian Ju said: "What we are guarding is not a dog that cannot be guarded without chains, you can think of it as a Holy Grail, when the Holy Grail does not show its power, it is no different from relying on a grinding plate, but when it shows the terrifying power of destroying the world, it is a peerless treasure that is being fought over by people at this time." Lird continued to listen to Qianrou's words, and by this time he had begun to perceive the subtlety of Qianrou's words.

Seeing that Lird was still confused, Qianrou said: "If you imagine again, the Holy Grail is a holy relic enshrined in the temple, but no matter how many believers worship it below, it will not easily show its ability, and this will be the pride of divine power in the future." ”

But under certain special circumstances, or under the influence of some opportunity, the Holy Grail will exert its own strong power, and this is the reason. ”

Hearing this, Lird swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then said, "You mean my father, who became ... Kind of opportunity. ”

Qianrou shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe you don't like this statement, but in fact, it is. ”

Lird gasped when he heard this, and the next time he turned his eyes to his father again, he really couldn't see what was so magical about his father, who was no different from ordinary people, and finally became an "opportunity" to trigger divine power.

Qian Ju said: "It was precisely because of this factor that my mind changed, and I was thinking at the time, maybe there is some kind of 'providence' in these series of things. ”

"First of all, we came here in the midst of constant twists and turns, and during the time we were trapped in India, our tribe was infected with a plague that we had never encountered before, and this plague almost destroyed our tribe completely, and it was at this time that we met Mr. Pym, who had no contact with us until then, selflessly helped us and became our benefactor. ”

"But it doesn't end here simply, after saving our tribe, it has so accidentally discovered the core secret of our tribe, knowing that this secret has been discovered by outsiders for the first time in such a long time, and this may not only be a danger signal, but more like a... Warning. ”

Lird noticed that there were many uncertain words in Qianrou's dispute narration, and the use of these words was obviously a subjective application of Qianrou, but a subconscious expression, so Lird could feel that everything Qianrou said was more "far-fetched", that is, it sounded more like an "excuse" to excuse her father Pym, which showed that on the subjective level of her heart, Qianrou really didn't want to kill her father.

After Qianrou finished explaining, she sighed lightly and said quietly: "In the end, I made up my mind, and I decided to give Mr. Pym two choices. ”

"One, it is to choose to abandon everything that exists, whether it is family, recent or fame, etc., in short, everything in the red dust of this world must be abandoned, and then become a member of the Atlantean family, and from now on live with us in everything, life completely restarts. ”

Lird rolled his throat and said, "And what about the second option?"

"Die. Qianrou replied very neatly.

Qianrou's words made Lird cry and laugh very much, and in the end he could only frown and say to Qianrou: "Then what is my father's choice?"

"At that time, I still underestimated Mr. Pym, and when I had a showdown with him, he proposed his third option to me. ”

...

"I wouldn't choose among these criteria. Pym replied quietly, as if unaware of the threat to his life.

Qianrou frowned and said coldly, "Mr. Pym, maybe you shouldn't have answered so quickly. ”

Pym smiled and shrugged, "So when am I supposed to answer you? a hundred years from now, or fifty years?"

To Pym's humor, Qianrou also replied in a humorous way.

"Of course, you have no problem thinking for a thousand years, but you can't leave here while you're thinking. ”

Pym was stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that the beautiful and handsome girl in front of him was not easy to deal with.

But it also has a rare kindness, because it also gives itself a way to live in addition to the dead end.

But in the end, Pym shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't choose between your conditions." ”

Qianrou narrowed her eyes slightly and said faintly, "No, you have already made one of the wrong choices. ”

Pym pondered for a moment, then said with a somewhat tangled expression on his face, "I... There are three ways to choose a place. ”

Qian Ju said: "Sorry, I am not a second-hand car dealer in Jaipur, I can provide you with all kinds of satisfactory services, there is no third way with me." ”

Pym shook his head firmly and said, "No, as a free man, I have the right to make my own judgment and choice. ”

Just as Qianrou was about to contradict Pym, Pym had already spoken out his thoughts.

"I'll save this tribe!"

Qian Rou was stunned when she heard this, and the words that had reached her lips were stopped abruptly.

Pym took this opportunity and hurriedly said: "Please believe me, after giving me some time, I will definitely get along with an incomparably perfect plan of action, according to which we can get out of here very smoothly, you, I am, and return these people of yours, I assure you, they will definitely not be missing." ”

Pym's words sounded so powerful that even Qianrou couldn't say no for a moment.

Then Pym held out three fingers and said, "Three days! I only need three days to customize this plan, and when you hear my plan, you can decide whether I live or die." ”

After that, the two fell into silence for a while, and Liang Jiu Qianrou said to Pym, "If the plan works, what do you want?"

"Freedom!" Pym said firmly.

"There is only freedom, and I will never cede or give it up. ”

Qianrou looked at Pym and finally nodded.

...

After listening to what happened, Lird finally realized that everything was not Qianrou's completely idealized tolerance, and there was also his father's incomparably insistent argument, and at this moment the image of his father and his heart changed again.

He didn't quite understand his father's thoughts before, and he sacrificed everything he had to protect a mysterious people who had nothing to do with him, and he took risks in order to prevent the world from coming into contact with the shocking supernatural powers... But none of this is the main reason, one of the more important reasons is freedom.

My father longed for freedom, and in his eyes the meaning of freedom was far more than life and death, although my father was afraid of death, but in the face of freedom, he regarded death as home.

"Life is precious, but love is even more valuable. If it is free, both can be thrown. β€”β€”[Pei Duofei]

After saying this, Qianrou sat down in a seat not far from Lird.

"At that time, the situation in our environment had already begun to become very unoptimistic, and it was at that time that I found that we were surrounded by forces from all sides, and although we could not die in the blink of an eye, we were also in danger. ”

"Mr. Pym was keenly aware of this at the time, and it was for this reason that he boldly proposed this 'third way' to me, and it was evident that he had calculated everything about my psychology. ”

Lird was a little surprised when he heard this, his father's influence seemed to have become a little cunning in Qianrou's description, and the purpose of his actions was more full of self-purpose, and at the same time, Lird also remembered the reason why his father insisted on letting him come here, that is, to further control the [power] of the Atlantean remnants.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed from Lird's back.

In the dimly lit tent, Qianrou did not notice the strangeness of Liard's expression, perhaps still immersed in the memories and analysis of the past.

"On the third day, Mr. Pym approached me on his own initiative, and what happened after that, as you can imagine, made me a proposal to destroy the military town and thus create a disturbance in the present situation, so that we could leave here and sail to Australia. ”

"At the time, I was also very skeptical of this proposal, but I didn't stick to it because I had no choice. Anyway, if I had a chance to do it all over again, maybe I would have made the same choice..."Speaking of this, Qianrou seemed to think of something and said to Liard: "As an additional remark, Mr. Pym's plan is terrifying, but it is nothing compared to your thoughts. ”

Lird could only smile bitterly at this.

"Then there was all the preparations, and we didn't have much time to spend on it, less than ten days or so, maybe it was because of this that our plan failed, and if we had done more research at the time, maybe it would have turned out differently... Hehe, everything is uncertain..."

Lird nodded, the impermanence of the facts is by no means completely predictable by some investigative preparations, just like "SchrΓΆdinger's cat", you can never judge what the real world is like until you open the box with the cat.

After that, Qianrou sighed abruptly, and there was a bit of helplessness between her eyebrows, and after a short rest, Qianrou said slowly: "Finally, let me answer your question for you, that is, why I finally made Mr. Pym the 'torch', there are many reasons, including what I just said, and more importantly, I had no choice at that time." ”

"Because I can't be a 'torch', I am the one who wants to ignite the fire of the great fire, in other words, I am the 'opportunity' to bring out the power in the Holy Grail. ”
