Chapter 449: Revenge
. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
Bright plank road.
This is where Sigma finds Crément.
And...... A corpse that was barely human, with only the bishop's robes silently proving the identity of the deceased.
Built around the mountain, nine floors straight down, surrounded by Sigma, this is the bright plank road, not the highest place in the holy city, but the most secret place in the city of clouds, surrounded by mountains and buildings, surrounded by quiet places, under the feet is the cliff, empty, the wind whining, I don't know how deep, I don't know what is below.
"Perfect for a burial place, isn't it?" Clement glanced at the cliff at his feet, and then at the surrounding grass and trees, familiar dwellings, strange people, and his eyes flashed with remembrance, "This is a secret base...... When he was young, the three of us would often come here to secretly drink and eat meat, and he was always so active that he could get money to buy delicious food...... Then I didn't go, and Honorius didn't go often, so he called a group of great cardinals to eat......"
Sigma ignored his reminiscences, walked over to the corpse, crouched down, and began to perform an autopsy, necromancers are the best forensics, but this one seemed to be an exception, and after one look at the corpse, he was disgusted: "Fuck, has he been fucked by a parasitic beast?" ”
Clement did not stop it, and watched with a smile.
The necromancer examined the broken body inch by inch, his gaze was fixed, as if listening to the whispers of the undead, and after a while, his eyes froze, and he reached out to cut through a broken body, and the undead spirit deftly and cautiously poured in, expelling the remnants of the Holy Radiance, restoring the original appearance of flesh and blood...... The ugly granules spread out and clumped all over the place, leaving only an irregular ring empty.
Sigma's eyes lit up, and he removed the spatial ring in his hand and tried to make a gesture, which could be almost perfectly embedded.
He let out a long breath - the light of destruction broke the city, the city in the clouds was about to fall, the real murderer was hidden in the darkness, the evil promoter weaved a terrifying conspiracy, and in this fog, the only person who could see through the truth was a detective who looked like an ordinary person on the outside, but his mind was different from that of a child...... Sigma!
He turned his head to look at Clement, but rather at the acting pope's right hand, a silver ring resting quietly on his fingertips, Sigma stood up, slowly walked towards Clement, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the space ring on your hand." ”
"No." Clemon smiled and gestured to the ring in Sigma's hand, "You already have one." ”
The necromancer said indifferently: "I want yours too, and if I don't give it, I will cry you." ”
The Acting Pope replied only by shaking his head...... It is obviously a tense crisis, it is obviously the end of everything revealed, it is obviously a confrontation between life and death and faith, but there is no killing intent in the air, both parties are restraining themselves, and they only have the last concern.
Sigma's gaze was tinged with pity and pity.
And the same is true in Clement's eyes.
They sighed at each other's choices for different reasons.
Clement stared at the distant starry sky, and after a moment he lowered his head and said lightly, "Sigma, you shouldn't have come. Last chance if you can leave ...... now"
Sigma said indifferently: "Then you will have a lot of thanks?" ”
Clement was slightly stunned: "What? ”
“…… Nothing, a new meme I dreamed about last night. ”
Clement opened his mouth, speechless, he found that by Sigma so interrupted, the initiative of words was immediately detached from his hands, and the necromancer said calmly: "But none of this matters, Clement, I came here, please stop." ”
Clement seemed to hear a nice joke, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile: "Stop? What made you change your mind? You've been to the Archangel number, right, you've taken care of the Temple disciples in there. Why did you leave the Archangel number? Your purpose is obvious, to activate the main cannon on the Archangel and kill me after I push the Light of Destruction out of Cloudsdale and save the Holy See...... A plan that fits your personality very well, so why is it here again? ”
His voice was still calm, but there was a faint resentment hidden in the hysteria of a man who had been depressed, suppressed himself, doing things that would never be forgiven, and before his plan was about to succeed, he was desperate to confide and vent and let people know what he had endured all these years...... But he couldn't tell anyone.
However, there is one person who knows.
Sigma whispered, "On the Archangel, I heard a story, a story about renunciation, sacrifice, forbearance, revenge, this story ......"
Before he finished speaking, Clement suddenly raised his head, his eyes were like lightning, and in an instant, the power of the legendary powerhouse roared like a mountain and a sea, this sentence almost revealed the whole truth hidden in his heart, no wonder the acting pope was so gaffe.
He said word by word: "Who told you?" ”
And Sigma's expression was still calm: "That captain named Dilova, I deceived him with superb speech skills, top-notch soul COS and actor-level acting skills, and took advantage of information asymmetry to successfully learn some interesting past events...... Combined with some of the information and arrangements I had gained before, I probably guessed the real truth. ”
He looked at Clement, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and said softly: "I used to suspect many people, His Majesty Honorius, who has never appeared, even the Holy See, and you...... But the irony is that even after all the arrangements and speculations before, most of the information obtained is now considered useless, because almost no one has guessed your true intentions, not even before I arrived at the Archangel. ”
Clement was silent for a moment and shook his head: "That idiot in Dilova...... Impulsive and irritable, stupid and unscrupulous, with his scheming, he is naturally not your opponent, have you already killed him? ”
The necromancer sneered: "Ask him to understand the eighteen palms of the Xianglong that I created in the past two days, but I didn't expect to be unbeaten, first ate a trick of the Sprinkle family to drift, and then carried a grave jump, and finally didn't block the third trick of the ashes bibimbap, and went straight to the ground...... Before I could exert myself, he fell! ”
The corners of Crément's eyes twitched when he heard this: "...... What is that? ”
"It's the name of the move! Isn't it a good fit? The necromancer touched his chin and said proudly, "When I thought of the names, I suddenly found that these move names are very suitable for my profession......"
But the topic of this sudden change in style did not continue.
In the first few days, when we got along, whether it was admonishment, teaching, or conversation, the topic was often easily turned to a strange place by Sigma, and Clement also changed from helplessness to interested cooperation...... But today Sigma tried it one last time, and the relaxed and casual undisciplined routine of the past could no longer be carried out.
He and Clement eventually came to an opposition.
Sigma, who had long understood this, lowered her head and said softly, "You, Clement, in fact, your plan is not to push the light of destruction out of Cloudsdale, right? ”
"You want to stay here and perish with the Light of Destruction and with the Holy City."
"You just want to...... Revenge. ”
