Chapter Fifty-Eight: Planning
The sound of the fight outside the room caught Shore's attention, and he listened to the sound outside the door, but it was too noisy to hear anything, but he could roughly tell that something was going on in the direction of Rex's room.
His feelings are complicated, Rex has demonic blood in his body, but according to Kane, his consciousness is still not completely destroyed, that is, he is still their own companion, his companions are fighting, and now he can't do anything.
With this in mind, Shore lay on the bed and stared straight at the ceiling, to be honest, with his current strength, it was indeed possible to fight his way out of the encirclement, but he would not plan to leave until he got important information.
Mephistopheles imprisoned him here, and Shore knew all the news from the outside world through Kane alone, but fortunately, Shore already knew what Kane was thinking now, and most of the information he passed on was very useful.
"Squeak!" the door was pushed open, and Shore sat up on the bed, only to see Kane walk in with a slightly anxious expression.
"Why do you seem to be in such a hurry. Shore laughed and said, "Something happened." ”
Kane didn't answer directly, he walked out of the room and looked around, and then hurriedly closed the door after making sure there was no one else.
"You should have heard the fighting outside, right?" Kane asked directly.
"Of course, it was very loud. Shore nodded, "Is that Rex?" ”
"Yes, it was him. ”
"And who is his opponent?"
"Who else. Kane smiled wryly.
"Is it Mephistopheles?" Shore had already figured out the answer from the look on Kane's face.
"That's right, it's Mephistopheles. ”
"How's it going?" Shore frowned.
"Rex, he doesn't exist anymore. After a long silence, Kane replied with a sigh.
"That's right. Shore clenched his hand, "Has Rex's sense of self been completely devoured?"
"There's no Rex anymore. Kane pulled over a chair and sat down, a look of gloom on his face. "He is now Faust, the dark being created by Mephistopheles. ”
"Faust. Shore repeated the name, "This name means someone who has been manipulated by the darkness, what is Rex? Kane, you should know." ”
"You guessed that wrong. Kane smiled wryly, "I don't know, I don't know anything about Rex's past, but there's one person who knows, and she's locked up here now." ”
"Chikusa Wakaba. Shore knew exactly who Kane was referring to, "One of the two people who survived that attack, and who Rex loved, I'm afraid she's the only one in the world who knows everything about Rex." ”
"The weird thing is that Rex, no, it's Faust who didn't kill Wakaba after he fully woke up, this kind of thing is very unreasonable, according to the previous situation, Faust should have killed her. ”
"I don't know. "But judging by the way you look, this shouldn't be the most important thing." ”
"Sure enough, as my old friend, I can't hide anything from you. Kane smiled, "You'll be taken to the Sword of Satan in two days, and I don't know what will happen then." ”
"Really?" Shore thought his heart moved, it see, it looked like they had kept him alive, and there was indeed a place to use him.
"Listen, Shore, as long as you destroy that sword, you should be able to close the gates of hell, this is the conclusion I have come to from such a long period of observation, that sword is the key to the door, you must destroy that sword!"
"Of course I do. Shore smiled and said, "Looks like you have a plan, tell me about it." ”
"Now, I don't need to stay here like this anymore. Kane stood up, "I've told you where I stand that night, because only you, as my friend, can read me." ”
"I did receive the message you were trying to deliver. Shore replied, "I apologize for what I said before, I blamed you all along." ”
"There's no need to apologize, Shore. Kane smiled, "Only the more you believe that I have fallen to hell completely, the more perfect my hiding will become, until today it is finally time to break free from the falsehood." ”
"Then talk about the plan, Kane!" Shore said, looking at Kane.
"Good. Kane nodded, "First we have to rescue the other two people who are being held here, one of them is Chikusa Wakaba, and the other is Vincent. ”
"Secretary General Vincennes?"
"Yes, given the possibility that he will be held hostage, he must be taken away from here, and it took me a lot of effort to save his life. ”
"What you're doing is more dangerous than we are. Shore exclaimed, "Thanks to you, Kane." ”
"This is my duty, I will always be a student of Mr. Renault, and I will always fight for humanity. Kane continued, "And as for Chikusa Wakaba, she has to be asked to tell everything about Rex. ”
"In order to bring down Faust, we must know everything about him. Shore nodded solemnly and said, "Go on." ”
"After rescuing the two of them, my identity will be completely revealed, Mephistopheles will mobilize all his forces to attack us, but since they can't hurt your life, I will take them out of here. ”
"No!" Shore immediately refused after hearing what Kane said, "You've already been sacrificed once, how can you let you-"
"It's a battle for the survival of humanity!" Kane interrupted him sharply, "Besides, my life was originally given by demons, in other words, my rebirth was originally drawn by evil, and this life is just to be returned to Mephistopheles." ”
"I get it. Shore gritted his teeth and said, "For the final victory of our humanity, even if this victory is won with blood and tears, we must move forward!"
"Because that's where we do. Kane picked up Shore's words, "Even if you know that there is death ahead, you must fight without hesitation until the moment of victory comes, knowing that everyone can live happily in this world." ”
"With my life, in exchange for the future of mankind. The two said this in unison.
Kane remembered Renault. Teacher, you're just like me in the hunt, and I knew it the moment I saw you that day, but you don't know what I thought, right?
"After you escort them out safely, there is only one goal left, and that is the Sword of Satan, go and destroy it, and then end this war once and for all!"
"I will. Shore replied, "I don't know how Ye Xiang and Raven are doing now, I'm actually very worried about their safety." ”
"You can rest assured of that. Kane said, "I've received the news that the two of them have eliminated the two lords of Pate and Asmodeus, and that this is the direction they are heading for, and it would be better if they could get here while we act." ”
"Really?" Shore swept away the troubles in his heart, "It's good news, so we'd better refine our plans and make no mistakes every step of the way." ”
"You're right. Kane agreed, "I have brought a map of the palace of Abaddon, and now I will tell you every place carefully." ”
"Did it take so long?" said Faust as he lay on his bed, already staring at Shore's door with his peeping eyes.
However, both Kane and Shore have the power to counteract mind reading, and Faust doesn't get much useful information, but that's enough, at least Kane's every move is still under his watch.
"Anyway, have you eaten food today? Wakaba. Faust suddenly asked Chikusa Wakaba, who was sitting in a chair by the door.
"Don't call me by name. Chikusa Wakaba said coldly, "Now you are just a monster, you killed Rex, I will never forgive you!"
"You're wrong, Wakaba. Faust sneered, "There is no Rex in this world, and there is no so-called Faust, do you know why?"
"I don't know. ”
"Because the two names are one and the same, Rex is just another side of Faust, and Faust is just another manifestation of Rex, neither a demon nor a human, that is me. ”
"Are you trying to say that the Rex I know is just the good side of Faust?"
"It can be understood this way. Faust laughed, "We've just regained our rightful form, and there's nothing more Rex or Faust, it's just me now." ”
"Don't make jokes like that again!" said Chikusa Wakaba resentfully.
"This is no joke, because if I am telling a lie, then you are already dead, and it is precisely because I am Rex and Faust that I will retain my feelings and memories for you, and you can live until now. ”
"Then you might as well kill me now!"
"I can't do it. Faust smiled and said, "Even your crying will cause me to be angry, and I can't kill you at all, and I will never allow anyone else to do so!"
"Give me back Rex!" Chikusa Wakaba finally burst into tears, "I don't need you like this, I just want to use him as I was!"
"But the original he is incomplete, Wakaba. Faust gently wiped away the tears from Chikusa Wakaba's face with his hand, "This is fate, whether it is the sad fate of Rex or Faust, we are all just puppets drawn by this fate." ”
"You never wanted to get rid of this fate?!"
Faust was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again: "Maybe I'll give it a try, but no matter what, I'm an existence to be eliminated, and you should understand that, Wakaba." ”
"Come with me. Chikusa Wakaba took Faust's hand, "Let's get out of here and find a place where no one knows about it and live again." ”
"Impossible. "I am neither a human nor a demon, and when this war is over, whoever wins will want to destroy me, and this is how I end." ”
Chikusa Wakaba felt a burst of horror: yes, an existence like Rex may destroy him in the end, no matter which side wins, he has already thought of this, and this is also the reality that Chikusa Wakaha must face.
"Well, don't think about it so much. Rex smiled at Chigusa Wakaba, "Wakaba, I just wish you were by my side when I die, so I won't feel lonely." ”
"Rex, you. Chikusa Wakaba gripped Faust's hand.
"I said it was all right. Faust comforted her gently, "As long as you are by my side, even the cruelest fate will have a glimmer of light!"
