Chapter 313: Blood Shadow's Heart
The mood was violently turbulent, but the blood shadow could only lean limply against the door, looking up at the ceiling of the hallway, not saying a word.
She was just an ordinary disciple in the Temple, carrying out the tasks ordered by her superiors to keep Nina Tesla safe.
She has no right to know the reason for this, nor does she need to know about Nina's grievances with the Temple, and her existence, like thousands of silent but pious Temple disciples, has become a small cog in this great organization, exerting her own light and heat, without asking for reason or recognition, and firmly walking the lonely path of martyrdom, for the same dream, for a better world.
But...... But......
But the object she is protecting, Nina Tesla, a lonely and innocent girl, is under some kind of pressure and persecution from the Temple. Her mind was tossed and pounded like a lonely boat in a storm, in danger of sinking at any moment, and she was innocent, and her father even had some kind of covenant with the Temple.
However, the Sacred Master from the Sanctuary was still dignified but cruelly approaching this girl's fragile spiritual defense.
She was innocent, she didn't do anything wrong.
Blood Shadow clenched her fists and stared blankly at the chandelier in the hallway, she believed in the righteousness and purity of the temple, and believed that the master must have her reasons and reasons for doing this, but ...... Is it logical to persecute an innocent girl for the sake of a certain purpose and plan of the temple, for the sake of the beautiful world that everyone expects and pursues? What's more, Nina's heart seems to be on the verge of collapse, and she used to cry even sadly. It never makes a loud noise.
To help more people, for a better world. Do you want to sacrifice an innocent girl?
This question haunted her mind like a poisonous snake, the blood shadow of the former killer. Maybe she nodded yes as a matter of course, because this is her life, there are too many imperfections in this world, the complexity of the human heart, the impermanence of the world, and sometimes the faith of light needs the dagger of darkness to forge it, just as the vast plan of the temple requires scavengers and devourers who walk in the darkness to clear obstacles and devour corpses. This is the meaning of her mission and existence.
And she also sacrificed her life and soul as an ordinary girl, staining her hands with blood, making her soul dusty, and even falling into the abyss of darkness, because some things must be done, and this is her mission.
For the sake of the lives and happiness of most people, there are times when decisions and sacrifices must be made.
Because manpower is limited after all, because there is too much helplessness in this world. It's a matter of course.
-- Somewhere in my heart, a loud veto suddenly sounded.
No, it's not like that.
A person's face suddenly comes to mind.
Mr. Sigma...... A chance encounter, he even unreasonably declared. To pull himself out of the dark abyss and put it into action with surprising force of action, he does things that are sometimes very incomprehensible. Sometimes it's too lively and a bit narcissistic. It's a little naughty, and a little bad-hearted. But...... He is a kind and good person.
A good person who still maintains a crystal clear heart and honest faith.
A man who is different from himself, who is confident and strong, who still has confidence and expectations in the world, and can look at the world with optimistic and gentle eyes, will definitely veto his opinion loudly if it were him.
"Sir......" she said suddenly, softly pronouncing the name.
"Is there something wrong?" A muffled reply suddenly came from the window of the corridor, and the blood shadow was startled, at first she thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when she walked to the window, someone smiled at her quite emotionally.
“…… What are you doing, sir? Blood Shadow sighed.
"Let's talk about life with my classmates." Sigma reached out and touched it, and didn't know what method to use, so he opened the locked window lightly, jumped in, compressed the sound waves with air, and quietly asked, "What, you have something on your mind?" ”
The blood shadow hesitated for a moment, looked at the other party's sincere worried eyes, and for some reason his heart softened, and sighed: "Let's go to the roof and say, okay?" ”
Two high-end professionals want to go to the room to uncover the tiles, it is not difficult at all, a moment later, Blood Shadow and Sigma have come to the roof of the dormitory building, it is still raining, but Sigma's hand in the air lightly moved, the rain silently parted in the air, like an invisible umbrella, lining up the rain curtain falling from the sky, Blood Shadow stood silently beside Sigma, as if brewing words.
Sigma waited patiently, without the slightest sign of impatience.
Finally, the killer girl asked softly, "Sir, if you need to sacrifice an innocent person for a very, very good thing, for a thing that can help many people, sir, will you do this?" ”
Sigma's eyes fluctuated for a while, but quickly concealed it, he looked at the gray sky, as if thinking about the answer to the question, and finally he shook his head and smiled faintly: "I don't know the answer to this question......"
Blood Shadow was a little surprised, and then slightly disappointed, "I thought that Sir would be very handsome and say that he would not do this, because you want to protect everyone, so that everyone does not have to be harmed, so that they are all happy......
"Maybe I would have said that before." Sigma shook her head and smiled, "But now I am stronger than I was before, I have seen more things, a bigger world, and a more real destiny...... The more I know, the more I am in awe of the unknown, the stronger I become, the more jealous I am of the impermanence of fate, and now I will no longer write empty promises without knowing the sky, blowing about the that I have never experienced......"
Blood Shadow was made big by Sigma's tirade, and finally figured it out, only to realize that there was no useful content in the other party's words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Sir, you are perfunctory to me again!" You haven't said yet, what would you do! ”
"I'm not perfunctory to you, Bloodshadow." Sigma smiled indifferently, "But this kind of tricky thing really didn't happen, so I can only pray that I don't have to encounter such an embarrassing thing." Because I'm afraid of choice, I don't even want to imagine a similar scenario. Because the human heart is selfish. Independent and connected, I have people I love. The people I care about, the people I want to protect, once their lives and other strange but innocent lives are put on the same scale, maybe I, who claim to be kind and righteous, will also make a surprising choice......"
This kind of answer is still not what Blood Shadow wants.
Sigma sighed, "Forget it...... Let me give you a little bit of my personal experience. ”
He pointed to the Bloody Shadow's chest, "Your mind...... Remember one thing, you can't deceive your heart. In fact, you can do anything, as long as you don't regret it, as long as you can withstand the torture and self-examination that comes with your soul...... If you think that sacrificing an innocent person can be exchanged for a better outcome. Then we might as well do it, and then calmly accept the consequences that come with it, this is our life and the choice ......"
"But the crux of the matter is......" he patted the girl on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Is it really justice to sacrifice innocent people to fulfill more people?" If you have faith in your own cause, if you have faith in your own beliefs, if you believe that justice will triumph over evil, if you believe in the beauty of people's hearts and the beauty of the world. Why, then, do sinful and wrong things for this righteous reason? In any case, hurting an innocent person is definitely the wrong thing to do. The world is complex and difficult to understand. But there are always some things that are clear, right is right, and wrong is wrong. ”
"Anyway......" Sigma said. It doesn't matter if the person's purpose is good or bad, as long as he admits that he is doing bad things in order to achieve a certain goal. Then I can understand this, after all, I often blow up the toilet and beat the teacher in order to skip school or something...... However, if you claim to do bad things for the sake of a just and great cause. Then all I can say is fuck you, uncle. ”
These words resounded in the blood shadow's mind like thunder.
It's like two beliefs, a tragic fight and duel unfolded in the depths of the soul.
Blood Shadow's eyes were in a trance, his expression was complex, questioning, sad, angry, and dazed...... All kinds of tastes came to her heart, she didn't know, she really didn't know which of the temple's or Sigma's ideas was correct, maybe Sigma herself didn't know, but the person in front of her was stronger than her, because she knew that once such a problem really appeared in front of the other party, this kind and upright man would definitely meet it fearlessly and make a choice without fear or regret.
And she, on the other hand, was swaying from side to side, at a loss, like a naïve child.
"Blood Shadow, are you alright?" Sigma said softly, "Suddenly ask me this kind of question...... Is there a problem? Remember asking me for help when something happened, I said I would help you, always will. ”
The girl killer looked at Sigma with a gentle smile on her face, and her heart moved, and she almost blurted out that she wanted to tell him about Nina's grief and the persecution of the Temple, but she still stopped herself.
The Temple was such a terrifying behemoth, its strength was enough to rival any super power on the continent, it was desperately powerful, but she knew that once she spoke, even if the two sides had a huge disparity in power, Sir would stand in front of Nina without hesitation and confront the Temple...... Because of this, she couldn't reveal the matter.
She couldn't involve her husband in the matter, she couldn't make him face the same difficult choice.
It's her own knot, her own battle, and she's going to face it herself.
I'm going to talk to Master Hermione.
We are united by a glorious and great faith, without asking for anything in return, without asking for recognition, silently watching and guarding the world, we are disciples of the Temple, not bullying bandits, and we must not harm the innocent Nina, because she has lost so much, because she is a member of the human race we want to protect.
Blood Shadow smiled, "Thank you, sir, I feel better...... Don't you want to see Nina? ”
