Chapter 44: Truth
Roland could naturally hear that it was Mei Lin who was shouting, and quickly turned his head to look.
I saw that Mei Lin was sitting on the palm of Waji's hand, her face was still a little pale, and she was looking at this side with a puzzled expression.
"You're finally awake, are you fine?" Roland shouted.
"It's fine, but ......," Merlin said, gesturing to the bodies of the pirates lying on the deck, her face a little pale, "what the hell is going on?" What happened? Why is everyone ......?"
"Regarding this, things are a bit complicated, I'll deal with this side first......" Roland was halfway through his words, when he suddenly felt that something seemed to be behind him, and hurriedly flashed to the side.
Click!
A katana slashed directly at his arm, chopping off his entire hand!
If it weren't for Roland's fast flash, this knife would have been cut on the neck!
"Roland!!"
"Roar! (Captain!!) )”
Merlin and Waji both shouted.
"It's okay," Roland smiled at them and shook his head, then turned to look behind him, where the big man who had just begged him to spare him was looking at him with a sinister smile.
This big man may have been a little overexcited, and he didn't notice that the broken part of Roland's arm was very abnormal-
The incision was flat and clean, and there was only a trace of blood, not at all the amount of bleeding that a broken arm should have.
"Stinky boy, you're hiding pretty fast," he pouted, then grinned, "but the hands are gone, look at how arrogant you are as a swordsman!" Wait, I'll let you bury my brethren right away!" ”
After speaking, he carried the knife and walked slowly towards Roland.
However, compared to the excitement of the big man, Roland, who had a broken arm, was calm, a little weird, except for the overly excited big man, everyone else felt that something was wrong with this situation.
However, it's no wonder that Roland, after all, because of the effect of [Pain Ineffectiveness], even if his arm is cut off, he doesn't have any strong feelings.
Moreover, compared to the accident of his arm being chopped off, he was more concerned that the other party really attacked him!
It's ironic that I was hesitant to kill them just now!
"You know what?" Roland spoke, his tone flat, "Someone just said I'm a monster......"
"Who cares if you're a monster or not? Die obediently," the big man snorted coldly, and continued to approach Roland.
Roland ignored him and continued to himself, "He's right, I'm a monster indeed. ”
As he spoke, he crouched down and picked up the severed arm, slowly joining the two severed arms together, and regenerating new arms as he ate the hand with predation.
Of course, in the eyes of the people around him, it was as if Roland had taken the broken arm back directly.
The big man who had already raised his knife and was about to cut off Roland's head couldn't help but stagnate, and looked at Roland with a stunned expression, "How is it possible?!" I actually took it back! ”
Roland regenerated a katana in his hand and slashed directly at the big man's arm.
Seeing this, Dahan hurriedly used the knife in his hand to block.
It's a pity that the difference in strength is there, and his knife hasn't moved much, and Roland has already slashed at his hand holding the knife.
Just like when he cut Roland's hand, there was a click, and it was directly cut in two.
"Ahh The big man covered his arms and shouted in pain, unlike Roland, the other party was really bleeding profusely, and the deck instantly became scarlet.
"How does it feel to have a severed hand?" Roland said with a smile, the same smile as when he had just killed the group of pirates, a strange smile.
It's not happy or excited, it's not helpless or struggling, it's just a simple smile, but it gives people a sense of depression, which is a bit similar to Brother Ming's laughter.
"You...... What the hell is ...... Who? "Dahan is already in so much pain that he can't speak coherently.
Roland directly stabbed him through the throat and freed him from the pain, just punish him a little, there is no need to torture him too much.
As he drew his knife, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm not anyone. ”
Then, Roland looked at the others around him, just as the pirates in front of him did with Roland, some begged for mercy, some fled, and some resisted.
Unfortunately, all of them were useless.
Regardless of whether the other party will retaliate against him in the future, since there is now a chance to erase this unstable factor, there is no need to hesitate!
At this time, the previous feeling of "diaphragm" that had always kept Roland benevolent had completely disappeared.
Sure enough, as long as you look away, isn't it normal to destroy the enemy? It's not killing innocents.
But who knows whether this choice to go from one extreme to the other is right or wrong?
……
After a while, Roland returned to his ship.
By this time, the three ships brought by the foreign merchants were gone, and all of them had entered Roland's stomach.
Along with Roland's stomach bag, there were also people on the boat.
In fact, when he was just killing, Roland had tried to prey directly without killing the other party, but unfortunately, the system judged that "the subject was too self-aware to prey", which caused Roland to kill them one by one, which took a lot of time.
Although there are indeed a lot of good things on the other party's ship, Roland is not in the mood to analyze them one by one at this time.
After all, although it is no longer necessary to feel the pain of killing, mental exhaustion is inevitable.
And, now he has to deal with Merlin.
"Roland, what's wrong with you? Why did you kill all those people? Even these people on the ship ......" Merlin said to Roland with a look of disbelief, and it may be that the murderous aura on Roland's body has not dissipated, and she subconsciously moved away.
"Do you know what just happened?" Roland asked.
Merlin shook her head, "I was just training, and suddenly the boat shook violently, and I was about to come out to take a look, when I suddenly felt a pain in my neck, and then I fainted, and when I woke up, I was already in Waji's hand." ”
"Just now, the group of guys attacked us, and while I was confronting them, Lange ......" Roland briefly recounted to Merlin the series of events that had just occurred.
"How so? They actually ......" Merlin was a little unconvinced, like Roland, she actually didn't have any experience of being deceived, the matter of the mountain god, strictly speaking, was not deception, but just forcibly brainwashed.
She paused, then continued, "But you don't have to kill them......
"Merlin," Roland looked at her with a serious expression, "just now, I learned a truth, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!" I don't want you to think the same way I do, but at least, please understand me that I don't want to feel betrayed anymore. ”
"......" Merlin was silent.
