Chapter 191: Ikoma
Just when Ye Kai was coaxing Fran in front, a big event happened in the back.
The guy Ikoma killed a Kabane who had slipped through the net, but accidentally revealed his glowing heart, which was the same heart as Kabane.
Jiuzhi Laiqi didn't show up when he passed by for inspection, and knocked that guy out of the Iron City with one shot.
Ye Kai didn't know about this, otherwise he would have stopped it, after all, Nameless is also like this, so it's understandable that Ikoma is like this.
Such a guy can become the combat power of mankind in the future, because of the fear of unknown forces, and killing the guy who may save himself is the most stupid thing to do.
"Confirm the signal light, stop the operation, and connect the gears!"
Qingli's voice rang out, and the girl was trying to operate the Iron City.
But she noticed that something was jamming the switch of the automatic suspension bridge.
"What's going on?" Jian Jiang frowned.
"There's something caught in there." The girl gritted her teeth.
In the original book, Kabane, who was a strong general, suspended the Iron City, but now it comes to the will of the world, the survival of the children of the plane, and the world has intervened.
Even if there is no strong general, there are different Kabane's bodies that are stuck in the Iron City.
"In that case, the bridge won't come down!" The girl frowned.
"Mr. Ye Kai, there is a manual device outside, you see......" Jian Jiang once again set his eyes on Ye Kai.
"This wave of business is really a loss." Ye Kai shook his head helplessly, and walked out from above again with Fulan in his arms.
In fact, it is not that there is no other way for the strong generals now, that is, to fill it with human lives!
But Ye Kaidu has already promised to send them to a safe place, if he still fights so hard, is he worthy of his daughter's sacrifice?
Ye Kai and Fu Lan came out of the Iron City, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net rushed towards the two of them.
It's a pity that in Fran's hands, they are toys one by one, and they don't feel distressed when they are broken.
"Hey, isn't that kid who looks like Nameless?" When Ye Kai walked forward, he suddenly found a koma.
He took the weapon he had made and slain Kabane covered in blood.
And the people in the Iron City were already stunned.
"Look, the man you gave up so easily is now fighting for you." Ikoma didn't seem to be very conscious, as if he couldn't accept the fact that he had just been beaten out.
Fran was about to shake hands, but was pressed down by Ye Kai's big hand.
Ye Kai smiled and said, "Their breaths are too similar, and they are easy to be injured by mistake." ”
This guy looks like a bit of a protagonist, huh? It looks pretty tragic.
Listening to his words, it seems that he is not understood, but betrayed? No wonder it looks like it's been played badly. This is the difference between being a good person and being a bad person, Ye Kai can let go and kill people, but he can't.
Being kidnapped by morality or something, the most annoying.
Fran nodded incomprehensibly, as if she didn't know what the difference was.
Even if she was nameless before, if Ye Kai hadn't told Fran not to kill her, she would have been pinched by Fran.
"Is this a manual device?" Ye Kai ignored the Ikoma and walked to a mechanism.
"Yes...... You ......" Ikoma slowly approached Ye Kai, looked at his scarlet arm, and yelled in despair: "Why, why are we all different from normal people, but you can be recognized by them." ”
"Because we are stronger than you, stronger than the whole of Iron City, stronger than all Kabane." Ye Kai gently flipped the switch, and the indicator light of the suspension bridge turned from red to light blue.
"That's it...... Ikoma knelt weakly on the ground, and it seemed that he had still been hit hard.
"We take different paths, if you want to be a hero, if you want to be a savior, then you have to pay the corresponding price. If you want others to not misunderstand you and recognize you, you will either be respected by everyone or feared by everyone. Ye Kai smiled.
If he hadn't killed people in the first place, I'm afraid he would be the one who has something to do now.
He let people know that he is not soft on killing people and monsters, which is why he is in awe of everyone.
Knock Knock Knock......
The sound of machinery running sounded, and the drawbridge lowered little by little.
"Come back with me, you shouldn't die here." Ye Kai shook his head and said to Ikoma.
Ikoma shook his head slowly and whispered, "How can they, how can they accept me and accept me as a monster...... I'm not strong enough! I can't save everyone, not even myself......"
At the end, he roared at the sky.
"Then get stronger little by little, no one is strong from the beginning, I was two years ago, I'm afraid I can't even beat you." Ye Kai shook his head and said.
"I, I'm not going back, I'm a monster, I'm a ...... Kabane"
As he spoke, Ikoma covered his face and cried.
The gap between the ideal and the reality faced by Ikoma is too big, but he does not blindly follow the ideal or succumb to reality, but is a person with his own firm beliefs, and he is a more troublesome man.
Five years ago, he was attacked by Kabane at his inn, and when he and his sister escaped, he was caught and left behind, and when he returned without finding help, he detonated a self-determination bag and killed her.
This is what motivates Ikoma to confront Kabane's threat and fight it to the end.
Just today, he helped a man who had not become a Kabane, who was treated as a harmful person and locked in a cage until the night.
The heart of the Kabane is covered with a membrane of steel.
Unless it breaks through the membrane and destroys the heart within, Kabane will continue to live in a thirst for human blood.
It was very difficult to destroy the epithelia of the heart with the steam gun, the main weapon of the era, and it was possible to penetrate the epithelia if you had a very high skill in swordsmanship or if you fired at the same position repeatedly.
Instead of having that kind of weapon, Ikoma developed a unique weapon that was used to destroy the epithelia of Kabane's heart, and later used a modified Kane to kill a Kabane.
Later, Ikoma discovers that he has been bitten by Kabane. Based on his knowledge of Kabane, Ikoma used what can be described as a tragic disposition to himself, and eventually succeeded in preventing himself from transforming into Kabane.
Now he can be said to be a half-human, half-Kabane creature.
That is, the same as Nameless, Cabaneri.
Ye Kai ignored his cry, but shook his head, grabbed him, and easily jumped onto the Iron City.
Unlike ordinary trains, there are places to walk outside.
"How can you save a Kabane?"
"That's right, you're going to kill everyone!"
"Quick, throw him down, you monster!"
