"The battle is over, imp. Burgess shouted at Jervais, who was stunned, "How long are you going to sit here?" ”

Is this all real? Jervis glanced at Ben's body lying nearby, his enemy was dead, and it was not himself who killed him, but the strange man who appeared in front of him.

"Captain, at least five people have escaped our encirclement. A young man walked up to Burgess and said, "Do you want to continue the pursuit?"

"Tell me to go down and divide half of my forces to go in pursuit. Burgess looked at the man in front of him and said, "It's up to you to be the interim commander of the pursuing force, and I'm sure you're now qualified for the position, Knox." ”

"I'm going to get the job done. Knox replied and immediately turned away.

"What are you looking at, little ghost?" Burgess noticed that Jervis had been staring at them all the time, "I have a lot more to ask you, so let's start with the basics." ”

"I have a question for you too. Jervis spoke suddenly.

Burgess was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Interesting, then I'll ask first, as long as you answer my question, then I will naturally answer your question." ”

"Okay, you ask?"

"What's your name?"

"No name. "I don't want to hear that name anymore, but the thought of it makes me disgusted with myself." ”

"But I've got to have a statistic here. "Anyway, you'll have to tell me what your name is, and then I can go on." ”

"My name is Jervais. After much hesitation, Jervis finally spoke. "I'll just say it one last time, I don't want to hear that name anymore. ”

"I understand, then the last question. Burgess suddenly changed his words, "How many people have you killed?"

Jervis froze suddenly, he felt his blood instantly cold when he heard this question, and his stomach immediately turned upside down.

"Can't you answer?" Burgess had clearly expected such a situation, "I know the way that guy acts, using this brutal method to pick out their members, so you must have quite a few people's blood on your hands, am I right?"

"Shut up!" Gervais became emotional, "I'm just doing all this for my brother and for him to live!"

"But it didn't go your way, did it?" asked Burgess, "and there's no one left here but you." And based on the current situation here, I have an answer. ”

"No!no! shut up!" Jervis tugged at his hair, he didn't dare to listen to what Burgess was going to say next.

"You killed your own brother, didn't you?" said Burgess, staring into Jervais's terrified eyes.

"Ahh

"I'm done with my question, now it's your turn?" said Burgess, looking at a trembling Jerves.

"You, who the hell are you!?" Jervis shouted.

"Are we?" replied Burgess very easily, "is that okay with an organization called the Wild Hunt, a group of monsters that can only move in the dark?"

"Monsters. Jervis looked up at the man in front of him, he had never imagined that anyone would call him a monster.

"It's a monster. Burgess didn't care at all and said, "There are more people who have died at my hands than you have killed, and people like us are not monsters or what?"

"You're just like him. Jervis looked at Ben's corpse beside him, "You're all just monsters and lunatics who take pleasure in killing!"

"Scold as much as you like!" Burgess laughed out loud at the sound of Jervis's insult. "We can't be understood by others in the first place, we maintain the so-called order in the dark, and treat others as murderous demons, so what does it matter? As long as we do the right thing, that's enough!"

Jervis was momentarily distracted by his words, and the memory of the killing still echoed in his heart, and the painful memory had made him a little crazy now.

"You know him. "I heard the conversation between you, and you know the murderer. ”

"Yes, I know him. Burgess's tone suddenly became a little compassionate, "A fool who used to train with me, but ended up on this path, and I had to end his life with my own hands. ”

"Isn't that painful?" asked Jervais, "I mean, he was once your companion, and you didn't hesitate even the slightest when you did it?"

"I am acting in the name of dark justice. "Everything I'm doing now is for this purpose, and I won't hesitate." As for the pain of my former companions, I will always bear it. ”

"What if one day you can't bear it?"

"There won't be that day. Burgess digressed the subject, "because by the time that day comes, I'll be dead, and it won't make sense even if I can't bear it then." ”

Jervis looked at Burgess, he could feel how lonely the man in front of him was, and this loneliness was exactly the same as he was now, and he couldn't help but resonate with everything Burgess said.

"Now there is one last thing that needs to be resolved. "It's up to you, do you want to join us, little ghost?"

Jervis was shocked when he heard Burgess say this, he didn't expect that this person would actually want to recruit him, recruit this man with innocent hands on his hands.

"I, I'm not worthy. Jervis looked at his hands tremblingly, "I killed too many innocent people, just for my own selfish thoughts, and in the end I didn't protect anything, such a loser is not worthy of joining you at all." ”

"What are you talking about, little ghost?" Burgess laughed, "We are all people who have committed unforgivable sins, but we still want to contribute to the world, so we have no right to laugh at you!"

"There's nothing wrong with protecting that person, protecting what is most dear. But for this purpose, we have all objectively caused irreparable damage, and since this is the case, let us atone for our sins with our lives!"

"This is a wild hunt. Burgess smiled, "Although we can only live in the dark, we still have a heart that wants to fight for justice, and even if others don't understand us, we will still do it." ”

Even if you live in darkness, you still want to fight for justice? Jervis understood why this man was able to continue to fight even in such a lonely and sad situation, because he had his own faith, a belief that would never be shaken.

"I'm willing to join. Jervis finally made up his mind, "I want to be able to join your organization and be able to fight as you say." ”

"Very good. Burgess held out a hand to him, "Then you are no longer an ordinary person from today onwards, you are now the Gervis of the Wild Hunt, and you are welcome to join." ”

Jervis clenched Burgess's hand without any hesitation, but the name Jervis still pierced his eardrums deeply, and he still couldn't accept the name in his heart.

"I wish there would be no name from now on. "Jervis must be dead, and after he killed his brother, I don't have a name." ”

"I know you still don't want to accept the fact that well, well, there's a special position in the ranks of the Wild Hunt, and that's the captain's guard, and we'll call them the Liquidators. ”

"Liquidator?"

"Yes, Reckoner. "They are the most loyal of the hunters, loyal to the name of dark justice, and as guards, they have always been the face of loyalty. ”

"Well, I hope to get this title. Jervis looked at Burgess and said, "You were here to save me, and I hope to be your guard." ”

"It wasn't me who saved you. Burgess said calmly, "You are the only one who can save you, but since you have made this request, then well, I agree to your request." ”

From this moment on, Jervis had completely disappeared from this world, and only the Reckoned with the Iron Mask was alive.

"I have one last question. "Why would you want me to join? I mean, you're not short of people right now, are you?"

"Because it's too similar. Burgess replied with his back to Jerves, "You're like me before, maybe because of that, I can't tell, but I always have the feeling that you're going to find your own future in the Wild Hunt." ”

"I see. Jervis didn't press on, "Thank you anyway, I want to bury my brother and the bodies of these innocent people now, can you give me this time?"

"Go ahead, it's something you're supposed to do, and I don't have any reason to stop it. ”

Somewhere in the wasteland of the island, Jervis was desperately digging a pit, and he didn't feel tired at all, but he felt a little lighter inside.

"Forgive me, forgive me for my selfishness. Jervis threw the body into the pit, "Your business is all because of me, and I will never forget that guilt for the rest of my life." ”

When it was finally time, Jervis looked at his brother's corpse for the last time, his eyes already filled with tears.

"Brother will live, Gavel. Jervis finally stroked his brother's face, "I couldn't save you, and I can't forgive myself for killing so many people because of my selfishness." ”

"But I'm going to live with this pain. For you, for the sake of these innocent people who have died before me now, I will live in the darkness and then carry out my own justice. ”

"Goodbye, brother. Jervis felt his heart bleed, "I'm glad I have a brother like you, and when I die, we two brothers will have to talk to each other." ”

Jervis threw Gavel's body into the pit, and he then filled it back with shovel after shovel, and by the time it was all over, the dirt beneath his feet was completely soaked with a mixture of sweat and tears.

"From now on, there is no such thing as Jervais in this world. Jervis stroked the mask he wore on his face, "I will live under the name of the Reckoner until my sins are fully atoned for." ”
