Chapter 117 - The Tempest in the Land of Twilight 08
"It's amazing that Miss Dior is able to say such things bluntly! Isn't there a shortage of such things these days? It is true that, as you said, there are many doubts about my existence, and I have met all kinds of people on the recommendation of my boss, but none of them have ever brought such a thing up to me. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they only care if I look like a human being, Dior, I want to know about you, I'm curious!"
This girl, who was created by the "beauty" and "purity" in the minds of human beings, may really have such capital worthy of "Skar's". Avacyn's smile did not have a trace of impurities, it was completely different from the smile that Dior had ever seen, so simple and bright. She was only close to having a crush on the girl because of this, but she came to her senses and narrowed her eyes.
"It's really surprising, I was prejudiced against you before, but now it seems that I am a little bit of a villain," Sherlock chuckled, squinting her eyes at the blonde girl beside her, "... What kind of glasses you wear, what kind of people you can see, this sentence seems to be true. ”
Admittedly, her smile and her feelings did not seem to be fake, unpretentious, and the rats crawling out of the filthy sewers could clearly understand this, but it could also be "deliberate". Daria, who had worked as an agent in the KGB, was trained to do the same, and she believed there was nothing wrong with caution. Can... Or maybe it's just like Sherlock said, her blue eyes that never faded from malice see everything the same.
"If you want to know, how about thinking for yourself?" Dior sneered, "I'm curious now... If that's what the detective said, then what do you see in your eyes, Avacyn, and what are humans in your eyes?"
"Humans are... Something wonderful," Avacyn paused, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said firmly, "The only miracle that was born within 400,000 light years, life was born on this blue planet by chance, but the appearance of life forms like humans is inevitable. No matter how long it takes, the sentient and intelligent beings will eventually come in different forms. I think this will be the case in other parts of the universe, where human beings are still alone, and the definition of "human" is still subjectively given by human beings, and I am not qualified to judge as a small being. ”
What a clever statement, Dio pinched his fingers. A certain amount of praise while retaining one's own opinion can be said to be the perfect way to do things. If everybody could do this, then the world would be at peace - on the surface.
"Why, Avacyn, be a little confident," Sherlock turned his pipe and pointed at the girl with the mouthpiece, "If humanity is a miracle, then your existence is also a miracle. Human beings judge things subjectively, and as long as there are feelings, it is impossible to treat things completely objectively, and of course you are the same. ”
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Miss Sherlock. ”
Evesin, the name itself is not such a "pure" thing. Dior closed his eyes, it was all too easy to understand the thoughts of Skar's 'boss'. People have expectations for their creation, and they want someone to know that this is exactly the name of the "future Eve." For him, Avacyn also represents the sin he bears. Case... Avacyn is by no means a "pure and beautiful" being, there is something else beneath the seemingly flawless exterior.
"Today's conversation is satisfactory, but unfortunately that's the end of it, I have important business ahead of me," Dior shook her head, she glanced at Avacyn and sighed, "One last question for you, dear Avacyn." ”
"Yes?"
"The Capitol is full of bombs that can blow up the entire vicinity of the Capitol, and I'm the only one who knows how to touch the bombs, and I only have half an hour left, but I refuse to say it," she asked, with a familiar question. What would you do?"
It may seem like a simple question, but it involves many aspects. What will this "pure and beautiful" girl think of the corrupt government of England, the disgusting parliament, the declining Britain, the decaying country, and how will she deal with the situation that at the same time of salvation must sacrifice something?
As for the possibility that she would lie? Dior smiled contemptuously.
"It's going to be a hard choice," Avacyn shook her head, "and honestly, I'm not going to make a choice." It's not my turn to make a choice..."
"Only you can make a choice?" Dior sneered, "Only you can decide what to do, avoid the inevitable situation..."
“......”
"Okay, I've got it. ”
In anticipatory reaction, Dio stood up and looked away in disappointment, she strode away without hesitation, not even saying hello. Unexpectedly, however, Sherlock did not react to her question.
"Well, it's time for me to leave, 'Miss.Eva', and look forward to seeing each other next time..."Sherlock also left with Dior, but as she left, she paused and turned to look at Avacyn, with an intriguing smile on her face.
The smile was the same as that of a golden goblin full of malice.
"The next time we meet, I hope you'll be a little more interesting than you are now... Like a corpse. ”
――――
Sitting on the bench at the door of the room, Dior was waiting.
She didn't have to wait long for Sherlock to come out of the room, and as if she had made an appointment with Dior, she sat down beside her, bowing her head and sighing listlessly and deeply.
"What a headache, such a fellow," Sherlock said impatiently, "it's amazing, I didn't expect humans to make such things." I thought that Yuru's prosthetic leg was very advanced, but now even artificial humans that are no different from humans have appeared. What's next? What do you think of this Eve that Skar made?"
"It's the kind of person I'm not good at dealing with," Dior snorted, "and the same expression as the smiling face behind the mask of the masquerade ball, and the same unfeigned 'pleasure' as the attendees." I really don't see the slightest falsehood, but I always feel like she's human through something, I just think she's like a leader sitting at a desk drinking and giving orders to his subordinates. ”
"Oh, you're really too sensitive to 'feelings,'" Sherlock's smile faded from her face, and she snapped her fingers and continued, "Avacyn is indeed a 'pure' thing. She is just a product of humanity in the concept of "purity", and she herself has been instilled with a simple faith, the belief that she wants a good and peaceful world. In other words, she is only superficial. ”
Catering to anyone, praising anyone, being able to communicate with anyone without hindrance, being knowledgeable, behaving elegantly, and being generous. But that's just a formality, and she may not have a soul... That's a bit too much. As Dior thought at first, she was just a "spectacle".
She has no 'ego'. The same thing can be done by the prostitutes of the Ming Empire, like Zhu Xia, who is far better than this so-called Eve. That's why Dio will be disappointed, this is like the so-called 'perfect lover' created for himself by a 'genius' who does not rhyme with the world, but inside it is just as stupid and ugly. Put the cart before the horse... Dio scoffed.
"If neither our God nor our hope is the product of science, can our love only be scientific?"
Those who indulge in fantasy can touch the things in their dreams. Whether it's a dream or a nightmare, when he wakes up, Dior looks at the ring on his index finger and is fascinated. Avacyn didn't know who she was, and did the girl know who she was? After all, she couldn't even remember whether the name "DIO" was her or not. In her ambiguous memory, the stars left behind only made her feel like a world away, and the past days disappeared from time to time, and she suddenly realized that she might have done something wrong.
What is the "purity" of her own pursuit? She couldn't help but light her tobacco and take a puff irritably.
"Do you want to destroy this place?" said Sherlock suddenly.
“... No, that's not in the slightest favor for me. Dio hesitated for a moment and replied.
She didn't have that intention. There won't be anything to do with her here, but... And there are things she has to work out.
"It's time to put an end to this chain of things, Miss Detective," Dior stood up and straightened up, "Are wicked people evil because they only think about themselves? ”
“......”
"You've seen too many 'little evil parties' who have embarked on the path of crime for some reason, either impulsively or premeditated for a long time. But that's just a boring little trick in the end, and I'll teach you one thing at the end, Miss Detective. The one who can understand anyone is the one who is the most wicked. ”
Sherlock, your last detective is about to begin.
