Chapter Ninety-Three: Reason and Enlightenment
In the infinite darkness, Mondstadt felt like he was falling, into the bottomless abyss.
Is it...... This may be another ending, the inner anguish is about to overflow, who is to blame for this? Who else can blame but himself? Obviously, this result is natural and obvious, but he ignores it, and thinks that as long as he is around, it will not happen.
How arrogant you are, if anyone sees it, they will laugh at themselves loudly.
He thought he would keep falling, but he fell hard to the cold floor, and a beam of light and a trance cry above his head seemed to pull him towards an exit.
"Sir...... Sir, sir!"
"Uh......" Mondstadt struggled to open his eyes, his mouth full of blood, "super ...... Shorty?"
"Great, sir!," cried out the super shorty, "you're badly wounded, and though we know you'll be well, we're still worried!"
"Really......" Mondstadt looked up, G28 crouched in front of him in addition to the super shorty, and Ump40 stood a little farther behind them, his face a little unpleasant, "sorry......"
Mondstadt reached for his chest, the wound from the bullet had healed completely. Below the heart, he avoided the vital point perfectly, which was really a great marksmanship, but his heart was still aching.
"No, it's our ...... that should be said to be sorry" Super Shorty's gaze lowered, "We didn't arrive in time, and even Fran didn't expect that Luo Lian would get mixed in......"
He knew, he knew everything, the corners of Mondstadt's mouth rose slightly. He saw it, and as he fell, he saw the uniforms of the soldiers who had descended from the ropes, and the Luo Lian troops, which were consistent with the information they had known beforehand.
"Still, I'm glad the Commander survived their attack!" G28 added.
Although I know you're comforting me, ...... Sorry, G28......
"No...... right"
"Huh?"
"No, it was Jeffetti who saved me......"
"What are you talking about...... "How can you ......" said the super shorty, "how can you "
"She shot me," Mondstadt said, "and that's why I'm unconscious, and that's why I'm alive." ”
The air seemed to stand still, and both the Super Short and the G28 looked incredulous, except for the Ump40's face hidden in the shadows, and the others were busy investigating the scene.
"So...... Do you think you're a liability?" asked Ump40, his words aggressive.
“40?”
"Hmph," Mondstadt smiled wryly, "that's just the case. ”
"yes...... The decision and action made by Your Majesty in such a short period of time in order to save you is indeed amazing. The girl's tone was three points heavier.
"Well, I'm just human...... Mondstadt looked up, "I'm useless, I...... In the end, it was messed up and there was nothing. ”
The stagnant air ignited in an instant with his words, and a black shadow flashed past him, and by the time Mondstadt came to his senses, his head turned to one side, and his left cheek was hot.
That's fine, he knows that Ump40 is trembling with anger, but just blame him, after all, he is the only one who has not done a good job.
"Please don't say that...... Please don't use this expression, don't you just give up!"
Mondstadt had nothing to say, for he really didn't know what else he could do now.
"The past is in the past, and don't you know it very well......? Why Your Majesty did this, and what she thinks now, don't you know very well!"
What's the use of saying this, if she keeps trying to sacrifice herself, no matter how many times she comes, the result will be the same. And if he gets closer to her, nothing will change.
Mondstadt turned his head slowly, looking at Ump40, he had to accept her anger in its entirety, he had to ......
However, to his surprise, what he saw was not a puzzled angry face, but a tearful face.
“40......”
"Sir, will you trust me?"
Why? Why is this expression?
"I ...... My lost memory is crying to me, sir," 40 tried to calm herself, but her emotions shook her immensely, "That other self is crying to me, sir!"
"What...... ......"
"At that time, I probably did the only and completely right thing, I sacrificed myself to save, and I don't know exactly who I saved, I can't remember. But I did save one of the most important juniors to me by sacrificing myself. Even if I had to choose now, I would undoubtedly do it, because if I didn't, we would both die, and the whole world would ......"
What the hell are you talking about, Ump40?
"However, when I woke up from my deep sleep, I learned that after I died, she was completely changed, and that other people, both human and human, looked at her like monsters......"
Mondstadt's eyes widened for a moment's time.
"Me...... Sir, I'm very ...... I regret it very much!" ump 40 almost cried out, "I regret that if I had fought with her, if I had been able to protect her, would she not have been what she is now......
"So, sir, believe me, Your Majesty will definitely regret it if she continues like this, absolutely! You are not like me, you are all still alive, and there are still opportunities and choices, so ...... I beg of you, sir...... Go save Your Majesty, I don't want to see anyone like me again......"
Mondstadt stood up and walked over to the sobbing Ump40, his right hand resting heavily on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, 40......" Mondstadt whispered, "I'm sorry......"
"What's the use of apologizing to me......" Ump40 said as he sobbed, "I don't want the chief to apologize to me......"
I'm really sorry, ump40, you're a very nice humanoid and it's an honor to be your leader.
"How long has it been since Rollen ATEF left, Fran?" asked Mondstadt.
"In an hour or so," Fran replied in his usual cold voice, "I've located them, they're moving northwest with no signs of stopping." ”
"Really...... Do you have any feasible plans?"
"Unfortunately, Your Highness Mondstadt, the 'swaddling' forces under the command of Lord Adjudicator are clearing the territory of the remaining TASA forces," Fran said, "and there are currently no additional personnel to carry out an effective battle plan. IMHO, rash action has a high probability of leading to an empty result of the bamboo basket. ”
Since the most reliable artificial intelligence says so......
"It's okay, I'll have one or two squads here and the necessary vehicles for me, and I'll hit the road when I'm ready. ”
"It's ready, Your Highness Mondstadt. ”
What, I was calculated by artificial intelligence?
"Roger. Mondstadt said, patting the Ump40 and walking out.
We'll do our best to save you, Jeffrey, and wait in peace.
