Virginia stood still, listening to the two of them arguing, and suddenly smiled lightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's it, isn't that good?"

"What do you say? She's a defector! This violates the iron laws of the organization! should ......"

"It doesn't matter if the discipline of the organization is violated." Virginia shook her head, "It doesn't matter if the organization is dead. Warriors aren't what you think they are, and even if the organization disappears, warriors will remain. I think so. ”

Virginia turned her head to look at Doris, Sulfona, and Justlin. Then he turned and took a step.

"And wouldn't it be fun to let all these annoying things go away?"

After Virginia said this, she couldn't help but laugh a few times. Her laughter was crisp, like the first rays of dawn. Jacelyn struggled to her feet, trying to hold on, but Virginia was already on her legs. She jumped from mountain to mountain, sometimes touching the new twigs in the woods, sometimes picking up a few drops of dew. It looked like a playful little girl on an adventure, not at all like a warrior going to fight the demons of the north to the death. Her every movement was clearly engraved in Sulfona's eyes, but it seemed that in the blink of an eye, Virginia's figure vanished. All that was left was a vague song hummed by Virginia.

Sulfona and Jaslin stood in stride, Tipa staring at Virginia's back, her eyes tinged with envy. Immediately, Tifa sighed, and she shrugged at the stunned warriors around her.

"In that case, I should go too."

"You have openly betrayed the organization, violated the iron laws of the organization, and will not end well!"

Jacelyn glared at Tifa, but there was nothing he could do. During this time, she made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, and she felt that she had entered the hall, and she couldn't help but feel a little arrogant. I didn't expect to fight against Tifa, and it turned out to be a one-touch defeat. It couldn't be beaten in the first place, and now Jaslin only has one arm left, so naturally Nativa has no choice. She couldn't help but turn her gaze to Doris and Sulfona. Doris looked in a trance, and her face was a little whiter than Justlin, who had lost a lot of blood. Jaslin knew that Doris couldn't count on it now, and she looked at Sulfur again. I saw Sulfur clenching her teeth.

Tifa...... Are you really going to defect? I don't understand why you're doing this. ”

"Didn't I tell you why? I was originally the eldest lady of a noble family, and I couldn't stand the hard life of your warriors at all, and I didn't feel like working hard for the organization. So I had to defect. ”

"I don't believe it!" Sulfona stared at Tifa's face, "I don't believe you're that kind of person. You shouldn't be the kind of person who chases fame and fortune, you can suffer. You are not the same as those aristocrats who are about to beat and kill people. You taught me swordsmanship, you gave me something to eat, we are friends......"

"Enough!" Tifa's face suddenly distorted, "Sulfona, I've had enough of your friendship games. Two people think about each other, think about this and take care of that—I said, don't you think it's tiring to live like this? Half-demons like you and me, why should there be friendship? We are not human beings, we are not demons, we are wreckage forgotten by heaven and earth. It's the right choice to be alone. ”

"No, Tifa, you're wrong." Sulfona shook her head, "Two people won't get tired of helping each other. I don't know exactly what you're having, but I'll do my best to help you. No matter who you are, you need friends. ”

Tifa looked at Sulfur for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing. Sulfona didn't know why, so she had to freeze in place. Tifa's expression was extremely strange, and although his mouth was cracked, his eyes were not happy at all.

"Sulfona...... I've always ...... I've always found it weird. Where the hell did you get these ideas? After Tifa had laughed enough, he suddenly said, "Why is there such a kind person as you in this world?" I've been holding your warm theories, and I stupidly feel that everyone in this world is a good person. I said, "Do you think I'm a good person?" ”

"Of course!"

"It's weird. I could have killed my own father in front of you. Tifa said with a cold face, "I cut off Jaslin's arm, and now she can only lie on the ground like a pig and snort." I told Virginia what she didn't want to tell anyone the most, and forced her to die in the North. I'm going to make that little girl behind you lose her soul - I'm a good person? Sulfona, I remember telling you that I was gradually becoming cold-blooded and heartless. Haven't you seen it yet? ”

"......" Sulfona was silent, but she nodded firmly, "You are a good person, I believe in you." You haven't hurt me, you haven't hurt me, you must have done these things for a hard time. ”

"So, are you all about flowers? Why is the world you see always so beautiful? You've been in a dungeon, haven't you've experienced despair? What did you think when you were knocked to the ground by Jaslin, when you were wronged? Can you still be so optimistic? ”

“…… Truly...... I felt like I was going to break down at those times. Sulfona took off the straw hat she had been wearing from her head, "Whenever I feel like I can't hold on, I think of my parents. This straw hat was given to me by my father, and it was torn, and then my mother sewed it for me. This straw hat reminds me of my childhood. Although our family was poor, my mother was not in good health, and my father always liked to drink. But they all love me, and they tell me that the world is beautiful. ”

"Huh?" Tifa's expression contorted again, "You really don't know anything." Hold your straw hat and fantasize self-righteously. I just don't want to continue to play any friendship games with you. I'm going to tell you all about it. ”

Tifa's tone was a little self-defeating, and Sulfur couldn't hear it. However, Sulfona instinctively felt a chill down her spine, and she knew that Tifa would say something terrible. Curiosity and foreboding intertwined, and the knuckles of her fingers clutching her straw hat began to white. Tifa gently patted Sulfona on the shoulder.

"Do you remember the night I said I was going to tell you something important. Of course, I think you're so pitiful, I can't bear to say it. But I think the truth must be made clear, today may be a good day, and I can't hide it from you for the rest of my life. ”

"You're ...... Say what? ”

"Sulfona, do you remember the night we killed the demon together? We were kids. Tifa whispered in Sulfona's ear, "You're running faster than me, you're hell-bent on going home." I chased you after you, and by the way picked up a crossbow from my stupid uncle, Gregory. By the time I arrived, you had already come out of the room. You are standing at the doorway of the fence gate, and your cherished hat is hanging on the fence gate. You look confused, walking in my direction......"

Sulfona was captured by Tifa's deep tone, and it was as if she had returned to the twilight of that town again. Everything was vague, except for the sound of the breeze on the ground.

"Yes. And then you tell me, don't look back, hurry up and go to your side. Because you see demons. ”

"Yes, you do." Tifa nodded, "But aren't you surprised?" You have your back to me, and behind you is the house. The demon is so big and has such a strong sense of presence, why can I see it and you can't? ”

"That's ......" Sulfura thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"That's because, what I'm seeing is the process of turning it from a human to a demon." Tifa looked into Sulfona's eyes and said, "I couldn't believe it, it was the most disgusting scene I've ever seen. It's as if the skin is peeled apart, and then the wriggling indescribable lines are spread out...... I don't know how to describe it. ”

"So, you're not going to let me turn back?" Sulfona nodded and said, "Because that scene is too disgusting to alarm the demons?" ”

"No, you're wrong...... Sulfona. Tifa shook her head, "I don't want you to look back, it's because I saw the demon - she was human. I don't want you to know who she is......"

"You ......"

Sulfona's face turned pale in an instant.

"Won't it be strange that you recall the scene years later?" Tifa continued, "Why don't you have a body in your home? Why did the demon who slaughtered the entire village let so many people not enjoy it, and had to come to this empty house? ”

"Because ......"

"Because, this place is very familiar to the demons. Because, this is its home. Tifa said coldly, "Why does the warrior you know say that there are demons in the town?" If she didn't know how to snoop on the witchcraft, with her weak body, she wouldn't be able to perceive the entire town in the woods. ”

"She'......"

A few vague fragments flashed through Sulfona's mind, like yellow leaves falling from a book. Sulfona told Simona that there were demons in the castle, but Simona didn't believe it. Simona grabbed Sulfona's thin body from the ground and squinted her eyes for a moment before she was convinced of the real demon. The weightlessness of being caught, the feeling of touching on the head. But Simona's tone, everything was so clear. They kept repeating and intertwining in Sulfona's mind, trying to shatter Sulfona's brain.

"So, there's only one reason why that warrior is so sure - she feels the remnants of demonic power from you. You're the only person in the entire town who has access to her, so she can only judge the town's situation from you. That warrior didn't kill you right away, so you're not a demon. And you have been exposed to demonic power, so only the people around you are demons, this is the only possibility. ”

"That can't be...... That can't ......."

Sulfona only felt distraught, but Tifa ignored her and continued.

"You're still putting up useless resistance. All I saw was your mother's face, and I'm not sure if your father was or not. But no matter what, you need to face the facts......"

"You...... You must have read it wrong! You! How do you know what my mother looks like? Sulfona snarled at Tifa.

"I can't be mistaken, I saw your mother father talking to Gregory that morning. Gregory visits all the homes with children, and your parents go out to greet them. I can see it clearly. So, what you think your good childhood is just a phantom. That's a disguise that the demons have deceived you. In order to disguise himself as a human, the cunning demon performed the warmest family system for you to see. What is poor but subtly happy, what mother is frail and sick -- you really get to know what the family of a person who is sick all the time is like. For farmers, illness equals poverty. All the education you received as a child, the stories you heard, were lies. The quarrel between your father and mother may also be the result of the demon's covert manipulation. It's a play that makes it feel real to you. You are like marionettes in the hands of demons, blinded, bewitched, and repeating each day according to someone else's script......"

"That's not right! No way! Sulfona shouted, "Mother...... My mother was very gentle, she would touch my head and comfort me. When my clothes are torn, she will silently help me sew them, and she will not scold me even if I come home late. I've always been stupid, but my mother has always encouraged me...... She's nice, really nice. She's a nice person, she's better than a lot of people I've ever met. than those aristocrats, those who bully others, those who are carried away by jealousy, those who play with the fate and feelings of others at will. My mother is better than all of them! ”

Sulfona's face contorted, tears and snot mixed together.

"......," Sulfura choked up, retorting in a hoarse voice, "It must be...... It must have been a demon, the demon killed my mother, she ate my mother's brain, and then she dressed up as my mother. Mother often stays at home alone, and it must be a demon who has secretly replaced her. The mother who lives with me is definitely not a demon! If...... If the mother is a demon. Aren't those, aren't those people even as good as demons?! ”
