Chapter 40: The Confused Sword Emperor
"So, what do you think?" After telling what he had just seen, Helriga turned his gaze to the silver-haired young man in the dark corner, who seemed to be thinking about something.
"......" Levi didn't say anything. However, Heiliga could see that his heart was in a state of contradiction and entanglement at this time.
"Can you be sure that what he says is the truth?" It was a long time before he asked. However, from the tone of his voice, it was clear that he had only reluctantly asked this question, and it was hardly a questioning question.
"At least logically, it is self-justifying...... I don't think he has the power to get Jusses to lie for him, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the Paradise report itself. Heiliga sighed, "As for the things he said, we can also find a way to verify them." Speaking of which, Levy. ”
"Huh?"
"Did you and Joshua notice the young man he mentioned and the slightly older chief when they were destroying Paradise?"
"Nope." Lévy thought for a moment and shook his head, "At that time, the order of the 'association' was secretly passed on to a few of us 'executors'. At that time, the association did not use the strengthening of the hunters as a force in the conventional sense, and if it relied purely on the power of the executor, it would be impossible to attack through some more normal methods. ”
"I remember that you and Joshua were the only ones involved in the final assault?"
"Hmm......" Levi nodded, "I was a little moved by the scene at that time...... Later, I heard from the executors who also participated in that operation, it seems that because the "Order" was surrounded and suppressed on a large scale by the non-governmental organizations led by the Guerrilla Association and the Qiyao Church on the mainland, they were much weaker in terms of scale and influence in the underground world, but at least when we invaded it...... There are still many so-called "elites" from all over the world......" He paused and did not continue.
"Got it...... In other words, even on the eve of its destruction, "Paradise" had not yet shown the unbridled posture of other Order's branches. Heliga took over, "What do you do with their words?" ”
"No matter what...... Die. There was a hint of coldness in Levy's voice, "Although the order above only has the 'Order', it does not specifically restrict what the executors at that time can and cannot do. We took down their well-fortified outer court, then destroyed their facilities, killed all the researchers inside, and found a group of survivors' children inside. ”
"In other words, whether they can survive the collapsed ruins or the fire depends entirely on what the goddess thinks." Heliga nodded, and Levy's words dispelled the last of his doubts, "I see...... There's nothing more to ask. ”
"But...... For those children, it's hard to say whether the final outcome will be good or bad. After thinking about it for a moment, Lévi said with a little reluctance, "Most of them have lost their basic minds by the drugs and sorcery of the Order, plus the physical destruction of them by those disgusting people...... The end result was that most of the lucky ones were able to try to return to their normal lives with the help of others, and most of them were ......"
"It's all accepted by the association. Just like Ling......" Helliga sighed—Levi and Ling didn't seem to talk much about it, so he continued to ask, "What about the other children besides Ling?" ”
"They're basically dead." Levi said gloomily, "The Society has tried to use techniques like 'suggestion' to transform their minds for the Society's own use...... Personally, I've never been very much in favor of this approach...... Of course, the seventh and fourth columns seem to see the same thing. The second pillar also rarely expressed her doubts, but ......"
However, one of the apostles seemed to be particularly interested in this matter. Right. Hyliga sighed, "Could it be Wiseman?" ”
"No...... Wiseman was hateful, but it didn't seem to have much to do with him. Lévy shook his head, "It's the apostle who mastered the Thirteen Workshops, the Sixth Pillar, Dr. Notiworth." It was just as Patil Martil's prototype had just been built, and the children died in his experiments in order to match his newly developed information processing system that could synchronize with the human brain. ”
"Because you can't handle the sheer volume of data?"
"Yes. Dr. Novatis is different from Dr. Russell and Dr. Schumit of the Empire. Levi nodded, "For the sake of his research, he will do whatever it takes to conduct brutal experiments to get the relevant data, and he will feel no guilt." ”
"That's because his life is not in danger. What if he himself was put in that situation? Heliga snorted coldly.
He would do the same – whenever he felt it was necessary, and he would even care about his own life. He's such a person. Lévy sighed, "So, there is nothing that can be done about this kind of person, and it is not convenient for the apostles to interfere too much with each other in the affairs of their respective fields. ”
"It's just that poor children, just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and then entered the wolf's den again." Heliga smiled, "It's a shame that Ling and Joshua broke away from this kind of organization...... They weren't Luciola or Blublan, who had a strong sense of self and could keep it up, who had been in that kind of place for too long and were easily influenced. Even you, Levy. Don't you feel that since you left the association and acted on your own, you are much happier than before? ”
"Hmph...... I don't deny it. It's just that I've committed too many sins, and I'm still confused about whether I'm still qualified to return to normal human life. Levi said frankly, "To be honest, my kendo cultivation has reached the apex of 'Shura', and further down, I am no longer qualified to accept you and Joshua. It is possible that the degradation of cultivation will be caused by this...... Thanks to Steel-sama's help. ”
"At least you have to try." "After the civil war is over, if I have a way to do it with Oliverat, I will definitely help you fight for your legal status in the Empire - the matter of "Hamel", they must not treat it as if it did not happen, at least in dealing with you as an orphan of Hamel, absolutely impossible. ”
