But just as the black knife Dark Moon was about to slash at Alice's arm, a powerful countershock blocked Xiu Zhe's attack, and the force was so strong that he took a few steps back to stabilize his body.

Before she had time to be shocked by the pain coming from the trembling ghost hand, Xiu Zhe's pupils shrank suddenly, looking at Alice who was screaming miserably and the countless sticky black liquid that shot out of her body.

Brad and Kaija swung their sharp blades to sever the black liquid that was shooting at Xiuzhe, and the liquid dripped onto the purple floor tiles and made a corrosive sound, and the details did not escape Xiuzhe's eyes.

As if having lost all her strength, Alice fell to her knees on the floor tiles and clutched her head, pleading, "Don't... Please don't torture me, I.. Don't want to hear it again.. Such a voice. ”

"Hahahaha."

The demon's laughter echoed in Xiuzhe's ears, and the black liquid formed a slender skull above Alice's head.

"Stupid servant, Alice."

A seductive female voice came from the skull, and when the words fell, purple light filled the eyes of the skull, a change that made Xiu Zhe's weapons in both hands even harder, and his mind quickly analyzed the current situation.

This is indeed Herder's voice, which is not wrong, Xiuzhe, who absorbed Bakar's power to carry his memory, will not forget this voice even after many years. But this does not mean that Herder is here in person, neither this space nor Alice herself has the most powerful evidence of Herder's breath, even if Alice has bounced off her own attack before.

The skull with purple light in his eyes ignored Xiu Zhe and Xi Lan, who slowly approached Alice, who raised her head, and her voice came out from the skeleton again: "For the sake of your dedication to the Demon Realm for thousands of years, I can spare you from dying." ”

Hundreds of sticky black liquids wrapped around Alice's body as the skull got closer and closer, and Marilet, who was beaten away by Xiu Zhe, was also glued up by the strips of black liquid and placed in Alice's arms.

"Now, take up your weapons and fight for me until the last bit of mana is squeezed."

Alice's delicate body trembled slightly, and tears flowed from her eyes.

At this time, she wanted to shake her head and refuse, but she was too frightened to follow her will.

She wanted to escape, but she didn't know where to run as if she was in the endless darkness.

She tried to call for help, but her open mouth couldn't make any sound, and she let the black, viscous liquid do whatever she wanted.

"Drink!" Xilan cut off all the strips of black liquid that stretched out towards Alice with a knife, and the skull's purple eyes were strangely bent into crescents and slowly disappeared, with a hint of banter in his voice: "Xilan, you are not saving her but harming her." ”

"Hmph." Xi Lan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he waved the sword in his hand to completely disperse the skull that had dissipated like smoke.

Alice's tears rolled across her face and dripped to the ground, looking at the disappeared skull, she did not have any joy for the rest of her life, but had a deep sadness.

Alice, who is completely free from control, gives birth to a soul at this moment, which means that she is no longer a created doll but a real flesh and blood person.

But as the skull that Herder had turned into said, Xilan's actions were only hurting Alice.

Looking down at the white palms, Alice closed her eyes in pain, her lips trembled slightly, these spotless palms seemed to her to be stained with countless blood, which was a sin that could not be washed away.

Xi Lan withdrew the sword back to his waist and tilted his head to ask, "Are you okay?" ”

Without answering Xi Lan's question, Alice opened her eyes and raised her head to look at Xi Lan beside her, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you save me?..?"

Xi Lan raised her hand, scratched her head with her fingers through the messy hair, and replied with a little embarrassment: "When I saw you crying, my body didn't obey, and at that time my mind was only thinking about what to do to keep you from crying. ”

Alice's eyes like rubies were full of sorrow and murmured, "It's a pity... But I can't repay you for it. ”

As the words fell, Alice looked at Xiu Zhe, who had calmly put away the Great Array of Ghosts and Gods and the Black Knife, and was walking towards her with Apophis in her right hand.

Xilan naturally noticed Alice's gaze, and also turned to look at Xiu Zhe who was walking slowly, and her body inadvertently moved to block Alice behind her.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Xiu Zhe said that he came to Xi Lan, and looked at Xi Lan with a calm gaze that was about the same height as him, and at this time, Xi Lan's eyes were lazy, only to protect Alice's firmness.

"Don't you think that Herder is the original sin for all this tragedy?" Xi Lan's eyes did not flicker, and he asked-for-tat.

"Original sin?" Xiu Zhe smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes and continued: "According to what you say, at the beginning of the birth of the universe, in order to pursue the ultimate sacredness, the creation god Caroso who separated the evil power in his body to form the twelve Beyana fighting gods is the real original sin, so should I let Helde go?" ”

"Herder did these things with her subjective consciousness, and Alice was just a puppet she controlled and did these things for her unconsciously, you don't distort the concept."

Xi Lan said that the hand that was clasped on the hilt of the sword was three points harder, and he knew that with Xiu Zhe's temperament, it was sometimes difficult to reason with him.

This subtle movement did not escape Xiu Zhe's eyes, and the smile on his face was even colder: "So what? Are you trying to say that the woman behind you is innocent? ”

"No, she needs atonement, but it's not up to you to judge her sins, for what you do is no better than Alice's."

Hearing Xilan's answer, Xiu Zhe laughed, indeed, the blood on his hands is not necessarily less than Alice, but what does it matter? Is it true that as a wicked person cannot judge other evils?

The ghost hand hidden under the sleeve had several runes on his arm shining slightly, and at this face-to-face distance, Xi Lan still underestimated him if he wanted to make a move.

Brad and Carlo suddenly appeared behind Xi Lan, one left and one right, and before Xi Lan could make any movements, the short dagger and thin knife in the hands of the two ghosts and gods were pressed against the back of his head, and the other was on his neck.

"Hehe, back then, Jige and you talked about martial arts before making a move, but it doesn't mean that Xiu Zhe also has to follow the rules that make people laugh in your human race." Carlo's two-masked face leaned into Xilan's ear and said with a smile.

"My lord is already magnanimous, otherwise you are now

The Sutra is a corpse. Brad threatened with compassion, "See if you're the faster at drawing your sword or if my dagger pierces your head faster?" ”

"You!" Xi Lan stared at the calm Xiu Zhe with angry eyes, although he thought that Xiu Zhe would not reason with him, but he didn't expect Xiu Zhe to be so decisive or even not to talk about it at all.

Xiu Zhe made a silent gesture with his index finger in front of his mouth, and said calmly: "Didn't you also want to kill me when I just learned that my mother was dead and awakened the Kaija of the Remnant? How? Am you allowed to kill me, and I am not allowed to threaten your life now? ”

Xi Lan's pupils shrank suddenly, could Xiu Zhe have known it a long time ago? Or did he go back in time and learn about it?

If it was the former, then Xi Lanke would have to admire Xiu Zhe's city government, which could not be defenseless in front of people who had murderous intentions against him, and talked and laughed as if this incident had not happened.

As if seeing what Xi Lan was thinking, Xiu Zhe smiled and said, "I already knew, do you think your murderous aura was well hidden back then?" It's a pity that your murderous intent is not resolute enough, otherwise there would be no Devil May Cry that the world fears. ”

A cool breath rose from the bottom of Xilan's heart, and Xiu Zhe passed shoulders with him, and came to Alice.

At this time, Alice was no longer Xiuzhe's opponent without the support of Herder's strength, and she also knew what it meant to Xiuzhe in front of Xiuzhe after she got rid of Herder's control.

"Great Celebrity, Alice, do you know what fate lies next?" Xiu Zhe still maintained a warm smile, squatted down and stuck the magic sword aside, looking directly into Alice's eyes, he had waited too long for this day.

"It is nothing more than enduring the scorching fire of the underworld for eternity, and enduring torture that is stronger than the heart-devouring pain of ten thousand ants." Alice behaved very calmly, and now she knew that even if she begged Xiu Zhe to let her go, it would be useless, and it was better to be tougher so that Xiu Zhe would not have much fun.

Xiu Zhe's warm smile gradually became evil and hideous, and the ghost hand directly grabbed Alice's hair and pulled it hard, and in Alice's painful cry, Xiu Zhe raised a slap and slapped her in the face.

The power of this palm Xiu Zhe was just right to fan half of Alice's face red and swollen, and he could also see that Alice was now just an ordinary person with half a permanent life but no magic power.

"You're thinking too simply, aren't you?!" Xiu Zhe's eyes showed a fierce light, ignoring the stopping sound from Xilan behind him, and snatched the instrument that Alice was holding tightly in her arms.

"Also.. Give it back to me..."

Alice trembled and stretched out her hand to snatch her cherished instrument from Xiu Zhe's hand, but was kicked down by Xiu Zhe who stood up.

"Give it back to you?! You give back my Master Luxi and my mother!! Xiu Zhe had suppressed the emotions in his heart for many years, and all of his brains burst out, directly breaking the instrument and smashing it to the ground.

Alice ignored the physical pain and crawled to Xiuzhe's feet, looking at Marylet, who was shattered, tears welling up from her eyes again.

Marilet was a musical instrument that had been with her since she opened her eyes and became conscious, and even though she was manipulated by Herder as a marionette at that time, her joy for Marilet had long been unconsciously formed, and Alice even regarded Marilet as her only friend.
