Chapter 762: The Meaning of Life
Inside the main hall, Heloise stood with a knife, although there were no serious injuries on the surface, but judging from her slightly trembling hands holding knives, Heloise was obviously not in a good state.
"I originally thought that my strength would finally be able to open a little gap with you, but I didn't expect to be caught up so soon!" Heloise's voice was slightly bitter.
"I never thought I could do this, but I have a reason to do it." Alvin said.
"yes." Heloise nodded, "You are a hero of mankind, and you have the people of the world on your shoulders, and there are some things that you certainly don't have a choice. ”
As Heloise spoke, she was still looking at Alvin, as if she wanted to look at the other party at this time. Just as Alvin didn't resent her, Heloise didn't have any resentment towards Alvin at this time. After all, this is her fate......
No matter how free the game is, there will be some such characters, whose lives have been set at the beginning, which is often referred to as "plot characters". The fate of these people can be amazing or regrettable, but in most cases, the fate of these people cannot be changed. These people are often burdened with things that are much more important than personal feelings, so it is almost impossible to influence them by methods such as increasing their opinion rating, so these people are sometimes called "unplayable characters".
And Heloise's experience is clearly very much in line with that.
"I can't afford the things of the world." To Heloise's surprise, Alvin shook his head at this time, "I'm not here because of such a great mission, I'm here for just one person!" ”
"......" Heloise was visibly stunned when she heard this, "Alone? ”
"That's right." "This person has done some wrong things, but she's so important to me that I have to stop her from going down the wrong path." ”
"This person doesn't deserve you to do this for her." Heloise shook her head.
"Really?" Alvin was noncommittal to the question, "What about you?" What are you fighting for? ”
"For the glory of the dead." Heloise replied.
"Is this really your own desire?" Alvin asked.
"This is the mission I was born in this world, it doesn't matter if I want it or not, that's what I'm here for." Heloise replied.
……
"What? Found useful information? In the library of the deceased, Liu Wei asked Alvin.
"Not really, just a little gossip." Alvin said.
In the ancient texts, Alvin discovers a dusty past, the deceased named Lancelot, who was summoned by a human maiden to descend into the mortal world. But in the end, the Grim Reaper, who was supposed to take away his life, fell in love with the girl. In the end, the deceased gave up his eternal life and married the girl, and the two snuggled up to each other and lived an ordinary life.
……
Bang! A bag fell to the ground, and the potatoes in the bag rolled to the ground, and the driver quickly stopped the car, and got out of the car with the fat woman sitting in the car to pick up the potatoes on the ground. At this moment, a small, pale and slender hand reached over, picked up the potato, and handed it to the other party.
"Thank you!" The woman's black face turned red from anxiety and exertion, but when she raised her head, she instantly turned pale, "Why you?" Go away! Don't get bad luck on me! ”
When the girl heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and the woman saw that she did not move, as if someone was robbing her, and picked up the potatoes on the ground at several times the usual speed, and then turned over into the car, urging the man to leave quickly.
"It's just a child, do you need to be afraid of this?" The man's voice rang out.
"What do you know?" The woman's face was displeased, "This is a monster, a mourning star!" Her parents were killed by her! ”
The carriage drove away, and on the dirt road of the village, the girl was left alone, holding a potato in her hand, and stood in a daze.
……
The night of Moonshadow Island is beautiful and cold, the girl looks up at the bright moon, waiting quietly, the once short and happy time, at this moment, in retrospect, it seems to be a dream, so far away and unreal, but the girl always thinks of those old and sweet dreams again and again.
……
"Mission?" Alvin shook his head, "It looks like I'm going to have to go my own way." ”
"There's no point in you being so reluctant." Heloise tried to dissuade the other party.
"I don't think so." "This time, I'm going to take this person back, and I'm going to do anything to do it, even if it's against her." ”
Heloise shook her head, "Don't do that again. ”
"Don't want anything?" Alvin is aggressive.
"Don't talk to me like that again." Heloise said as she stepped back a distance, standing in the center of the hall, and then a huge amount of magical power began to gather on her.
"Do your best, I won't be sparing this time!" Heloise said.
With Heloise's words, the violent magic surged towards the area where Alvin was, endlessly, like a great river of the Yangtze River, engulfing Alvin's body. Alvin unleashed the power of the lightsaber with all his might, but the powerful impact caused Alvin to take two steps back.
Call...... On either side of Alvin's body, the rocky ground lifted up in patches, swept up in a torrent of magic, and disappeared in an instant. Alvin stomped his foot into the ground and began to resist the impact of Heloise's skills, walking towards the other party step by step. Seeing this, Heloise strengthened her skills once again.
Rumble! A black shockwave spread out in all directions with Heroise as the center, and Alvin gritted his teeth to withstand the impact.
The distance between the two sides was still getting closer, and at this moment, Heloise's power finally reached a peak, starting from the edge of Heloise's body, and the surrounding space began to turn pitch black, as if the void was eating away at the whole world little by little. Alvin, who was in the main hall, didn't know that the entire sky outside had turned black, as if an eternal night had descended on this world. This is the power of God, and when it is fully exerted, it is as if the whole world is going to be destroyed at this moment.
Of course, even if he doesn't know this, Alvin can understand the crisis of the situation in front of him, if this black thing is allowed to spread, it will cause irreversible consequences, so Alvin must stop Heloise from casting this skill. Whether it's for yourself in the main hall or for the people outside the main hall.
"That's right, that's it, that's it." Heloise watched Alvin get closer, but in her senses, the distance between the two sides seemed to be getting closer.
"It's good to be like this." Heloise thought to herself, "Don't show mercy to your subordinates, don't say anything like that to me again, if you can really understand me, don't make me feel embarrassed anymore, it's my own choice, whatever the consequences, just bear it myself!" ”
Alvin slashed with his sword, and a bright light pierced through the darkness, then gradually expanded in Heloise's field of vision, as if the dawn was dispelling the darkness.
"Is it all over?" Heloise thought to herself.
……
"Speaking of which, master, have you seen what Heloise really looks like?" In the long and boring journey, Lele had a whim.
Alvin: "......"
"Wait for my good news! I'm going to trick her into taking her hat off! Lele said.
"The deceased is a spiritual body, and there must be something attached to it in order to manifest the body." When Heloise said this, it was as if it had been yesterday. The so-called spirit body is not so much some kind of entity as a concept, and under their black cloak, there is nothing and nothing.
Sila...... The hood of the cloak was slashed by the lightsaber, and at the same time, a crisp sound sounded, and the black aura around Heloise was broken into countless pieces, and then began to dissipate like ice and snow. The long white hair was spread out, and a beautiful face appeared in front of Alvin, two lines of clear tears, flowing down the slightly pale cheeks, and then turning from a silent drizzle to a heavy rain.
"Why? Why? Heloise's shoulders twitched, and she no longer looked any different from an ordinary girl.
The corners of Alvin's mouth hooked into a smile, he knew that he had made the right bet this time, stupid and stubborn persistence, and finally had value.
"Heloise." Alvin called the other man's name, and he was now sure that Heloise was still the same Heloise. Human eyes may never be able to see through people's hearts. We may never be able to find such a person, and we can definitely trust it from any point of view, but we still want to believe what we see. We are still willing to trust those who have lived and died with us again and again, and supported us in the most difficult times!
"Heloise." Alvin called the other party's name again, and the other party finally raised his head and looked at Alvin.
"Mission or something, I don't dare to say that I can understand this kind of thing." Alvin's expression was extremely soft, "But there is one sentence that I must say to you - don't make conclusions about the meaning of your existence so easily, there are too many big truths, I may not understand, but I know that a person is born in the world definitely not for such reasons." The reason why a person can be born is because of love, and two people who love each other make a vow that they are willing to make this love a more permanent existence than them, so they will have a new life. I know that even if you say such a thing, it will not make people feel great or surprised, but everyone who is born into the world must be loved. ”
Before Alvin could finish speaking, Heloise could no longer cry, as if she had seen many years ago, when a beautiful and demure woman came out of the kitchen with breakfast, and a handsome man smiled and lifted the girl up and walked towards the table. There are people who give up eternal life just to live a life of ordinary human beings, because in this person's view, there is something more important in the world than eternity, more than being a god.
Born out of love......
What is true eternity? Lancelot gave up his endless life and failed to accompany the person he cared about the most to the end. But Lancelot's inheritance, after a hundred years of circulation, once again led a person to Heloise's side.
If there is hope in this world for Heloise, then this hope must be here! So Alvin made up his mind from the beginning to cling to this hope and not let go no matter what happened.
"Let's go!" Alvin grabbed Heloise's cold right hand and pulled the girl with the rain pear blossom towards the outside of the main hall.
"Where are you going?" Heloise was surprised.
"Come home with me!" Alvin couldn't help but pull the other party forward, Heloise felt that she was a little dizzy now, and subconsciously followed Alvin's footsteps.
……
Outside the main hall, at the moment when Alvin broke the power of Heloise, the bodies of countless undead monsters began to distort, and black smoke emerged from the bodies of these monsters, forming countless black pillars of smoke in the entire city, which looked like a black forest at a glance. Under the pillar of smoke, parts of the monsters' bodies were constantly withdrawn, and in the end, all of these monsters turned into twisted and tangled lines, which looked extremely abstract.
"It worked! Alvin succeeded! The players cheered. Only a few people from the adventure group were still looking in the direction of the main hall with a little worry at this time.
Tens of thousands of epic-level monsters all evaporated and disappeared in just a few tens of seconds, and the power of the demigod-level monsters also faded rapidly, and it didn't take long for them to fall under the attack of everyone, and then they were never resurrected. In the end, the only people who stopped in front of the players were the people who sued the dead.
The defeat was like a mountain. Although there are still a large number of demigod-level masters in the Dead clan, it is difficult to support alone, with the dissipation of the monsters, the defense line of the Dead collapses instantly, and under the pursuit of the player, the Dead can only take advantage of the time when the monsters disappear to retreat away from the player! Ignoring the monsters that were still struggling on the ground, the players chased them straight after them.
The scene was very chaotic at one point.
In the area where the adventure group was located, with the death of the monsters, the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced, and in the end, only a few demigod-level dead were left, still cruising around, trying to find an opportunity to break through to the main hall.
"Changge, I'm guarding here, you bring someone in to support Lao Hei." Duxiao Shuanglin said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw two figures approaching this side, walking in front of him was Alvin, and the one who was pulled by him was a tall white-haired beauty. When everyone saw this scene, they all froze in place......
