Chapter 85: To Each His Own Secret
But Lord Shalier was always closer to me, and after some admonition from Zeller, she didn't think much about it and asked my opinion instead: "What do you want to do with this Grim Reaper, Inuma?" ”
I saluted Lord Shaliye and said respectfully, "The Grim Reaper's murder of the Demon Monarch should have been sent directly back to the underworld to stand trial, but now it is more important to find out his motive for killing me, which is why I brought him here tonight." ”
"Huh, motivation? Then I'm going to ask the Thunder Monarch, what was your motive for killing my Grim Reaper back then? Xia Zhongmou, who had been lying on the ground without speaking, suddenly began to rummage through old accounts, and Zler simply sat back on the sofa and began to play with the ring on his hand after hearing his words.
"You mean you killed me just to avenge that insignificant death? Doesn't that seem to be enough? ”
"Hmph, the Thunder Demons have bullied my Death Clan for thousands of years, shouldn't the people you killed us seek revenge from you?"
"Of course revenge is due, but why do you bother to find nine Holy Spirit-level Reapers? Wouldn't it be nice to boldly expose my sins to the ruling angels and let them punish me? "Xia Zhongmou has already told the story of Shengxi, and Zile and Shaliye have long known what I have committed, so I no longer hide it and generously admit to killing Shengxi.
"Who in the underworld doesn't know your relationship with Lord Shaliye, and it would be useful to expose you? It's better to do it yourself! Xia Zhongmou said righteous words, and Zilecha, who had been watching the game, raised Erlang's legs at this time, and he nodded in agreement while observing Lord Shaliye's expression. And Lord Shaliye kept standing beside me without speaking, just staring at Xia Zhongmou on the ground thoughtfully.
"I have Lord Shaliye's protection, don't you Charr also have Lord Zler to cover?" No matter how Xia Zhongmou defended the god of death, it was always under Zler's jurisdiction, and the four of us present understood this, and Zler put on an attitude of staying out of the matter, and I wanted to pull him in.
"Shaliye, look at this child, your doting pet has caused her to be bad! I haven't pursued her for killing my subordinates, but she's rightly emboldened! Zler shook his head helplessly, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under his control. If my intuition is correct, Zler's previous words are not only for me and Shaliye, but also for Xia Zhongmou to remind him. Let Xia Zhongmou determine that his motive for killing me is just to avenge Shengxi, so that he has my handle, and I can't delve into anything.
"If you want to pursue it, come at me." Lord Shaliye was a little displeased when he heard Zler say this, how could it not be his turn to educate a child as an outsider, as a mother, she must first stand up and protect me.
"My goddess is angry...... Zler immediately changed to a pleasant face when he saw this, "Ah...... Is...... How else can I investigate, but as rulers, we must always give the following explanation, and we can't break the rules of the underworld for thousands of years because of a certain demon. ”
"What do you mean by confession?" Zler said it tactfully, but he didn't necessarily really intend not to pursue it, and Lord Shalier was not easy to fool and asked bluntly.
"Killing the Grim Reaper can't just leave it at that, I think it's better to follow the thirty-fourth decree of the Hades Code." Zler had a plan, and without much thought, he said such a sentence and defeated our army.
"What a light-hearted word! Article 34 Decree? And what about this revenge of death tonight? Is it also the same decree that this Charles and the nine Holy Spirit Grim Reapers? "Hades Code, but all the demons who are in the leadership position can recite it backwards, the thirty-fourth punishment is burning at the stake, the soul of the demon will be repeatedly scorched by the fire, and the demon after being tortured often cannot advance to the next level, and can only stay at this level forever, if it is a low-level demon who is weak in cultivation, he can't survive the torture period, and his soul will be burned to ashes.
"Shaliyeh, please don't lose the sanity of a ruler! I'm doing this to help her resolve her conflict with death! Besides, you should believe in the strength of Inuma, she is now an invincible fourth-level demon, what can a little burning be worth? ”
"Okay, I taught the dog and horse single-handedly, I have an unshirkable responsibility for her mistakes, and I will be punished instead of her!" Lord Shaliya's feelings fluctuate greatly, and I have always known that she indulges me, but from the perspective of the rulers, she is indeed not strict and fair today.
"Shaliye, don't be so obsessed with it anymore! Look at her, look at her, what is she like him? She's just a shadow, she's not that person at all! ”
"Shut up, Zler!" The always elegant and calm Shaliye frightened me and the people present with a stern reprimand, and after realizing her gaffe, she immediately calmed down and said to Zile slowly: "You don't understand the matter between us at all, so let's decide." After saying that, her gaze stayed on my face, and her words and Zeller's words also made waves in my heart, what is obsession? Who am I like?
"Mother...... Finally...... What are you talking about? I asked, looking up at her stunned.
"It's nothing, you don't have to take it personally." Shaliye stroked my head and whispered, she wanted to appease my curiosity, but in my eyes, the first thing she should be to appease at this moment was herself.
"Oh......" Although I didn't understand, Shaliye's lonely expression couldn't make people say even a superfluous word, and after I whispered a word, I reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Hmph, I don't think she really took you to heart." Seeing the closeness between the two of us, Zler reluctantly rushed at me, he disliked me very much since I was a child, so I was accustomed to his prejudice and hostility and did not pay much attention to it. I glanced down at Lord Shaliyeh, her eyes darkened at the words of Ziller, and my heart ached as she looked so hurt.
"Don't you just want me to be tortured, Lord Zeller? My punishment for accepting you is to ask you not to embarrass my mother again. After a moment's thought, I said to Zler. I killed the gods in the first place, and I brought Xia Zhongmou here without adequate preparation, and retreating is the best choice, and facing the confrontation directly will not get any benefit from Zilena at all.
"This is the responsibility of a demon monarch." Zler clapped his palms in feigned approval.
"In a month, at the gate of the underworld, I will come to be punished." I looked directly at Zler and made a covenant.
"Okay, I'll give you another month." Zler didn't say anything more, for he was already very satisfied with the result.
"Heh......" I snorted coldly and glanced at Xia Zhongmou on the ground, he would have escaped today.
"Zler, do you have to be satisfied?" I myself promised that Shaliye would not be able to meddle in it anymore, but I was still very dissatisfied with Zler's approach.
"Every demon needs to bear the consequences for his crimes, Shariyah...... I also have my position...... Hope you understand. Zler said it so sincerely that even I couldn't see any flaws in it, as if he was really just doing his proper duty as a ruling angel and taking care of the overall situation.
"Lord Shaliye, you don't have to talk to him anymore, I lost today." I turned around and left, tonight Zile became the biggest winner and I became a joke, I was carried away by anger and took Xia Zhongmou to find the truth, but the two easily cooperated to ask me for the crime, and I had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Dogs and horses." Mistress Shalier hurried to follow me, and Zille got up from his couch at the same time to follow.
"Zler!" Hearing the movement behind him, Shaliye didn't look back, just called his name heavily.
"Okay, I know, I'm not going to come along." Eventually, Zler retreated, and Shaliye followed me out of the room on the second floor.
"Mother, it's getting late, go back and rest." Master Shalier followed me in silence, and when I came out of the courtyard, she still had no intention of going back, so I had to stop and persuade her.
"My child, do you feel wronged?" Shaliye stepped forward and took my hand, and the moonlight imprinted a hazy halo on her face, which was extraordinarily beautiful.
"Grievance? Nothing at all. Today it was me who lost and I accept the result. But I didn't lose to Zler, I just lost to my own love. "I was very angry at being harassed by Zler, but I really didn't feel anything wronged. Since I dreamed of that dark shadow, my feelings have always been uncontrollable, and I have lost my usual rigor and calmness in doing things, I should reflect on myself and examine my opponent well.
"I think you've been very different lately than before, you seem to have changed, you're ......," Shaliye said worriedly. Her increasing tolerance towards me has become more and more of a burden on me, and I am only afraid that she will do more things to disappoint her in the future, and I wonder if she will forgive her as she does now.
"No matter how the dog and horse change, I will always be loyal to my mother. There's been so much going on lately that I just need a little time to sort it out. ”
"I shouldn't have let Zler stay, he brought so much trouble as soon as he came, and disrupted our otherwise peaceful life."
"Mother, you don't have to blame yourself, Zler's presence won't make any difference, maybe he just happened to be in time at that point. I always had a hunch that the point of divergence in my fate seemed to be approaching. Actually, my mother should know better than me, right? I barely managed to squeeze out a smile and speak with great calmness.
"You, what are you talking about......" Shaliye panicked when she heard my words, and suddenly raised her head and grabbed my arm tightly.
"Mother knows a lot of things but never mentions them to me, and I can't even know some things that the crane knows, I don't understand why, have you never really treated me as your child?" I couldn't hold back the doubts in my heart anymore, and I didn't want to hear them say that the answer should be found by yourself, so I told her my thoughts.
Lord Shaliye stared at me for a long time, her eyes were complicated and indescribable, and after some psychological struggle, she opened her mouth to me, and her tone was more forbearant and deep than she had ever been: "Many things have happened to you, some good and some bad. I would love to sue you, but I'm afraid that those things will become a burden to you, after all, many years have passed. ”
"What happened in the past, tell me! I just wanted an easy answer, I just wanted to know where I came from! Charlie's words were like a fuse, igniting my desire to find out more about my own life, and I asked eagerly as I grabbed her shoulders with both hands.
"Now that you have learned to love, you have learned to give, and you can live the most desirable and free life in the world, but why do you still cling to the past and refuse to withdraw? I just hope that you can live happily ever after, can't you understand my feelings? Shaliye's voice was full of bitterness and sourness, which made my heart feel a sense of loss.
After countless complicated feelings had settled, I slowly withdrew my hand, stepped back step by step, and said to Lord Shaliye: "Mother, I'm sorry, I can't!" ”
I can't understand your feelings, I still have to find my past.
