Chapter 29: Justice in the Heart
Ander has already used this method to hold three "Dreams Come True" programs, and has killed thirty dream-chasing teenagers who have dreams and aspire to become dream builders.
By the fourth training, Ender had mastered it and thought it was foolproof.
But this time, a variable has emerged.
It's not Char.
In Ender's opinion, Char is a small person who is not worth mentioning.
It's Suzanne.
Ander discovers Susanna's true identity and learns that she is a hunter, a Sequence 2 hunter.
Even in the Blade Hunter Guild, Suzanne is the best.
"Could it be that the Federation is suspicious of me? However, if it were the Federation, it would have sent agents, not hunters. Ender couldn't understand why a hunter would participate in the "Dreams Come True" program as a cadet.
For Ender, the Silverwing Hunter Guild is trickier than the Federation.
The Confederation is a large government agency, and there is bound to be mismanagement and miscommunication.
Four D-class federal agents died in Fort William, but the Federation was afraid of the danger and did not send additional agents to continue the investigation.
The Silverwing Hunter Guild is different, its headquarters are in Hope City, and the Hunter Guild is extremely united, they treat each hunter as if they were their own family.
If Suzanne disappears inexplicably, the Silverwing Hunter Guild will definitely track it down.
Naturally, Ander would not have imagined that Susanna's appearance at Fort William was not for the purpose of investigating herself.
Just because of a few words from the hermit in the Shadow Street Wizard's Bar.
In order to hunt hermits, the Scarlet Witch hired Suzanne to gather information on the students.
It's just a coincidence.
The blonde girl Kaisha's prophetic dream is another coincidence.
In her dreams, Kai'Sa foresees her own death and perceives a little bit of the truth about Fort William.
Ander had to make an early move and kill Kaisha.
Fortunately, Suzanne's misfit made her the object of suspicion and exclusion from the students.
Susanna, on the other hand, sensed the danger of Castle William due to the hunter's keen sixth sense, and left the castle early.
Susanna's departure is also under Ender's surveillance.
When he saw Suzanne leaving, he immediately went into action, causing the entire castle to start to animate, devouring all the students, leaving only Char to escape.
However, Ender miscalculated again, and Suzanne returned to the castle before midnight, and with Char's help, she went through the underground tunnel to the altar and learned all the truth.
"Although there have been many accidents, everything is still under my control."
Ander stood on the altar, looked at Suzanne condescendingly, the corners of his mouth rose, and said with a smile: "Susanna, what flows in your body is not blood, but electricity and oil. You were never my target. I hate human beings, but I don't hate human transformation. You, like me, are discriminated against by arrogant human beings and ostracized by a cruel society. You can leave. ”
Ander stretched out his hand, and the wall behind the altar cracked, revealing a passage through which the light of a street lamp shone in.
It was a road to the outside of Fort Wilhelm, the road to freedom.
"Will you let me go?" Suzanne was a little surprised, pointed at Char, and asked, "What about him?" ”
"He? Of course he wants to stay. He's not far from the Sequence 2 Dream Builder, and the giant's heart needs his blood. Besides, he is a human being. You are a reformed person, why should you care about the life or death of a human being, especially the poor at the bottom? Ender said.
"I refuse." Suzanne didn't hesitate and said directly.
"You refuse?" Ander's brow furrowed, doubting his ears.
Ander wasn't afraid of Susanna.
What he feared was the pursuit of the Silverwing Hunters Guild after killing Susanna, and the troubles that followed.
The Cyclops is a mythical creature whose strength is comparable to that of a god, and even if there is only one heart left, Ander's strength is equivalent to that of a Sequence 4 Adept.
Ender's killing of four D-class federal agents is a testament to his strength and dangerousness.
You know, D-class federal agents are at least Sequence 2 Adepts.
The sequence of abilities of the Federation agents, often related to combat. After professional training, the four D-class federal agents cooperate with each other and have strong combat capabilities.
Suzanne's ability sequence, "Hunter," is also a great combat ability.
But in the face of Ender, which is equivalent to Sequence 4, Suzanne has no chance of winning at all.
As for Char, he is too weak, even if he evolves into Sequence 2 "Dream Builder", he has no combat power. Not at all in Ender's consideration.
"You want to save this human? Are you willing to pay with your life for the sake of a human being? Ender's gray eyes were full of surprise, staring at the rebellious girl with short purple hair.
"Nope. I just hate you. ”
Suzanne looked disgusted, her eyes full of disdain, "I don't fight for anyone!" Only for the justice in the heart! ”
"Justice?"
Ander was stunned, then put his right hand on his forehead and laughed loudly.
His laughter was maniac, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Char looked at Suzanne and the scene on the platform came to mind.
Suzanne grabbed Char and stopped him from saving the man who had killed his wife, saying that he deserved it.
Char thought that Suzanne was a cold person.
Cold oil flowed through her body, and her heart was the icy core of energy.
Except for her head, Susanna's whole body was covered in cold steel.
In a way, Suzanne is no longer really human.
In society, people like Suzanne are called reformed people, and they are treated as alien discrimination and excluded.
But Suzanne believes in justice?
And because of justice, you want to stay and fight Ender?
Char couldn't understand.
"Justice! It's ridiculous! In this era, there is only power! Only money! Only power! Even a three-year-old child would not believe in the ethereal thing of justice, and you actually believe in justice! ”
Ender shook his head and sighed, "It was me who was wrong. I even bargained with a hunter with an IQ of less than three years! ”
Ender snapped his fingers slightly.
Sou!
In the darkness behind Char and Susanna, two pitch-black tentacles suddenly flew out, wrapped around their legs, and hung them upside down above the altar.
Ender recounts his experiences and uncovers the truth, with the real purpose of capturing the attention of the two.
He had already manipulated two tentacles like vines, sneaked behind the two of them from underground, launched a surprise attack, and succeeded in one fell swoop.
Ender's horror is not just that he has the heart of a giant.
As a android, Ender has an extremely high IQ and executive ability.
Most importantly, he knows how to forbear.
