Chapter 240: The Obligations of the Sovereign
()
Li Qing stood at the scene of the incident, looking at the four bloody corpses lying on the road, his brows furrowed tightly. γChinese Network Debut. γ
Although these four corpses died in a miserable state, they were really not worth mentioning for Li Qing, who had been through battles, killed ruthlessly, and even killed more than 20,000 disgusting living corpses. If the four of them hadn't been bitten to death by the rats summoned by Scarlett, then he wouldn't even frown.
After finding Scarlett and listening to Scarlett's confession, Li Qing already understood what happened. Although there were more questions in his heart, he did not get to the bottom of it, but took Susu and Scarlett back to the scene of the incident as soon as possible.
At this time, his car was parked dozens of meters away, and Scarlett was sitting alone in the car, cowering in the back seat, not daring to look this way.
She was frightened. Although she didn't kill the person herself, it can be regarded as an indirect death in her hands.
Scarlett, who had never killed a rabbit since she was a child, suddenly took four lives at once, and still used the cruel method of devouring and biting a group of rats, which she really couldn't bear - if she had killed these four people with guns at that time, she would probably feel a little better now.
Su Su stood beside Li Qing, looking left and right casually, and muttered in a low voice: "There are no cameras, and there are no passers-by, it's really a good place to destroy corpses." β
The security problem in the old town is quite serious, so it is sparsely populated at night. Even some of the thugs on the road would not dare to wander alone unless they gathered a few companions.
So these four bodies have been placed in the middle of the road for a while, but they have not been found until now.
Although these four people were all bitten alive by rats, no matter how clever the reconnaissance methods were, they could never find any traces of human killing on the corpses. However, for the sake of prudence, after Li Qing inspected the corpses, he still said to Su Su: "Then, let's destroy them completely now." β
Su Sugan's destruction of corpses has long been familiar with it. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded, and four blood-colored sparks popped out, falling on the four corpses, turning into raging red flames, covering the corpses and the surrounding bloodstains.
It didn't take long for the four corpses to disappear, all traces gone, and not even a single trace of blood was left on the ground.
After disposing of the corpse, Li Qing and Su Su turned around and walked towards the car dozens of meters away.
"Susu, it's time to unravel the mystery, right?" When he walked to the car, Li Qing said softly: "You told me before that there would be a surprise when you saw Scarlett, and you also told me about the beastmaster druid." After Scarlett was kidnapped, she summoned wild cats, wild dogs, and rats to relieve her. not only succeeded in saving himself, but also killed four scumbags......
"So now, I pretty much understand what you mean by surprise. It's Scarlett who turned into a beastmaster druid, right? There are only two things I don't understand, first, when did Scarlett have this ability, and why did she have this ability? Second, how did you know that she had an accident? Can you pinpoint her location? β
As he spoke, Li Qing turned his head to look at Su Su, his eyes blazing.
Su Su walked briskly, and said with a smile as she walked, "Scarlett's ability is given by me. The last batch of four legendary powerhouses who came to Earth to hunt me down were all killed by you. But in the end, I only used three energy crystals to create the Otherworldly Gate, and the fourth one left was a heart of nature extracted from the soul and flesh essence of the elven druid.
"That heart of nature was used by me on Scarlett. So she has now been transformed by the Heart of Nature and has gained the abilities of a druid. Luckily, when she awakened her druid abilities, she also awakened the talent of the Beastmaster.
"Hehe, that's a bonus. You must know that the elven legendary druid at the beginning was not the beastmaster druid. It can be seen that Xiao Si also has a certain talent.
"As for what she was doing, I know she had an accident...... Knight, think about yourself. You have the power seed I created in your heart, as long as you have the ability to power the power seed, I can know everything you have experienced, and know where you are. And Scarlett's heart of nature was also refined by my own hands. The reason is the same as the power of the seeds. β
Li Qing was still puzzled in his heart, and asked, "But in my heart, there is half of your soul clone, so you can understand my situation in such detail." Although that heart of nature was also refined by you, there will never be a soul clone of yours, right? β
Su Su smiled: "There is no soul clone, but there is a wisp of spiritual imprint. With just a wisp of spiritual imprint, of course, it is impossible to report all the situation of Scarlett to me in detail. But with my current strength, as long as Scarlett is on the same plane as me, as long as she uses the power of the Nature's Heart, I can generate a sense and lock her position. β
"Understood." Li Qing nodded, and said, "However, why do you want to give Scarlett the Heart of Nature and transform her into a druid?" Why do you have to involve her in our world? As he spoke, his tone became serious.
Su Su stopped and looked at Li Qing squarely, and a solemn luster flashed in her clear and pure black pupils: "Knight, from the moment you interacted with her, she has already been involved in our world. Have you forgotten that those otherworldly pursuers once captured Scarlett and tried to threaten you with her?
"As long as you continue to associate with her, she will always be in the vortex. The followers from the other world, as long as they know your relationship with her, will definitely use their brains to beat her up. So, unless you break up with her and never have anything to do with her, she can't do without this whirlpool.
"Even, even if you break up with her, future hunters from the other world may still use her to threaten you. If you can really ignore her ruthlessly, then believe me, those otherworldly chasers will never mind killing an ordinary girl with no use value.
"That's why I gave Xiao Si a natural heart, I want her to become a strong person, at least have a certain amount of self-preservation, and don't hold you back. What's more, I know that if Xiao Si is really hurt by you, you will definitely blame yourself in pain. And I don't want to see that happen. β
Speaking of this, her solemn eyes softened. In the black pupils that were as bright as stars, there was a moving starlight, and he said softly: "You are my knight, I am your monarch." You have a duty to protect me, and I have an obligation to protect you. You fought for me, I ...... the least Protect your mood too. β
Listening to Su Su's intimate words, Li Qing was moved for a while, and he felt like he had soaked in a hot spring. An indescribable sense of happiness is even stronger than if it is about to overflow.
He stretched out his hand, gently stroked Su Su's forehead, and said softly: "Su Su, thank you, thank you......"
Su Su smiled slightly, raised an index finger, shook it from side to side, and said, "You and me, you don't need to thank you!" After all, you are the guardian knight who wants to protect me with your heart, even your life and soul......"
Li Qing sighed sincerely: "Susu, you are becoming more and more sensible. β
"People have grown up today!" Su Su smiled sweetly, frowned again, and said, "But don't expect too much from me, because I feel more comfortable being a child......"
"As you like!" Li Qing rubbed her silky smooth black hair and said with a smile: "Even if you want to be an abandoned mansion for the rest of your life, I will always work hard to support you." β
"Hmm!" Su Su nodded vigorously, and her pretty face was full of joyful smiles.
The two of them walked forward again, and soon they were in front of the car.
Before getting into the car, Li Qing hesitated for a moment and said to Su Su: "Su Su, Scarlett's memory that you tampered with, you can change it back for her." Now that she's no longer an ordinary girl, it's time for those memories to be given back to her. With those memories, her mental endurance should become stronger. β
Scarlett's memories have been tampered with twice by Susu in total. One is the time when Li Qing threatens to save Xiaolongnu from dozens of armed bandits in Longquan Resort, and the second is the time when Scarlett is kidnapped by a hunter from another world.
Especially for the second time, Scarlett witnessed Li Qing wrapped in a blood mist, chasing and killing the elf druid like a demon, and slashing the elf druid with a sword. She even suffered the impact of Li Qing's "fear aura" head-on.
And on that occasion, Scarlett didn't have any negative impression of Li Qing's murderous and blood-shrouded demon image at all, but was extremely excited and happy, and regarded Li Qing as a heroic knight who saved her from danger.
Li Qing believes that if Scarlett gets back those memories, especially the second memory, it will be a great sharpening for her mind, which can greatly improve her psychological endurance and help her stabilize her emotions.
Of course, it's one thing to watch Li Qing kill people in order to save her, but it's another thing to personally summon a group of rats and bite four people to death. The two were very different before, and the psychological impact on Scarlett was also very different. If she wants to really calm down, Li Qing has to comfort her for a while.
In fact, the easiest way is to ask Su Su to erase the bloody memories of Scarlett just now.
However, as Susu said, Scarlett is already in the whirlpool and cannot get out, and she will experience the same thing again sooner or later. You may even encounter even more ferocious and powerful enemies.
And today's incident is a rare tempering for her. It can provide her with valuable experience in dealing with strong enemies in the future.
Therefore, her memory today must not be erased.
Not only can it not be erased, but her previous memories must be restored.
Li Qing even planned to tell her everything he had experienced, so that Scarlett could share his experience and experience so that she could understand her situation.
As for whether Scarlett will accept all this...... Remembering the last time Scarlett looked at him wrapped in a blood mist and ruthlessly slashing that elven druid, Li Qing was at least eighty percent sure.
As soon as she returned to the car, Scarlett immediately threw herself into Li Qing's arms, hugged him tightly, trembled like a helpless deer, choked and said in a trembling voice: "Qing, did you see it?" See those four corpses, right? I really killed someone...... Or with such cruel means...... Qing, I'm so scared...... I, I, I've become a monster! β
At this, she burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, Scarlett, I'll be there for you."
Li Qing gently patted her fragrant shoulder and comforted her softly: "It's not a big deal to kill four scum who are trying to harm you." If it were me, I would have done the same thing, and maybe it would have been more cruel than you. Scarlett, believe me, you're not a monster, you're a gifted special being......"
As he spoke, Li Qing glanced at Su Su. Su Su nodded knowingly, put her lips to Scarlett's ear, and said slowly in an ethereal tone: "Scarlett, raise your head and look into my eyes......"
Hearing Su Su's voice, Scarlett, who was crying in Li Qing's arms, slowly put away her crying, raised her head blankly, and her teardropping jade blue eyes aligned Su Su's bottomless abyss-like black pupils.......
