Phantom (2)
"No...... I think, I'm sure. β
Konai stepped forward and formed a subtle triangle with the two of them.
"I was suspicious on the fifth floor. At that time, even if it doesn't take much distance or physical contact, I can sense yourself within a certain range. So, I perceived...... Miss Liu's death has nothing to do with anyone. But Miss Shi Xue ...... The only person associated with your death is indeed Miss Liu. β
"Phase, correlation...... That's it......" Her voice was already shaking.
"That's right. But, I have enough reason to prove that your death is a causal relationship. β
"What is it?"
"Who killed the robin?"
Chonglin didn't see Shi Xue's expression too clearly, because at that moment, the picture that jumped in his mind covered everything in front of him.
It was not the calyx that killed the robin, or the calyx.
It's Liu Xili.
Even this scene, no one saw it. Or rather, the person who saw it was dead.
"Could it be...... No, it can't be, you like it too......"
Liu Xili still just had a gloomy face and didn't speak.
"Are you...... What's the reason I can't say? I don't blame you, I mean......."
"Bitter?"
Liu Xili suddenly sneered.
"I've seen you dislike you for a long time, more than you think - don't ask me why!"
"So you killed her too?!"
Chonglin almost roared and blurted out.
Liu Xili didn't say anything. She suddenly reached out and roughly ripped off the hairpin on her forehead.
By the sixth layer, the clip had come loose, but it still had a lot of hair clipped.
The bangs are messily spread out in front of the forehead. Between the broken hair, the green eyes are faintly revealed.
Her hands clenched tighter and tighter. Suddenly, a burst of fire burst out from between his fingers, and the hairs burned to black ashes.
Shi Xue stared blankly, unable to speak anymore.
Tao Zuoci sneered and clapped to join the argument between the three.
"Instead of worrying about the cause of someone else's death, think more about yourself. β
Chonglin was slightly stunned, he turned his head to look at Jiang Shuo, who staggered his gaze from him.
β...... If I don't, the guy surnamed Tao will get me and Anseong in trouble. β
"Huh, didn't you say yes for the money?"
Young Master Tao shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands in confusion.
"That's for Anjiu!"
"Who do you bluff for a dead man?"
"But Changsheng can do it!"
"Do you think Changsheng rejected you because of money? Because she couldn't do it! It's a pity, isn't it? I was killed by my people before you understood it. β
"I should have thought of it, you weren't going to stay aliveβ"
Konai stopped talking, she just clasped her arms tightly and pulled her tattered shawl upwards. It could be seen that as early as after the idea of the fifth layer was gradually confirmed, she was trembling with inexplicable fear.
A fear of tragic stories, the truth of which is history.
Gu Qiancheng looked at her and covered his eyes with tears in his eyes. For some reason, the tears couldn't stop, she could only keep wiping the corners of her eyes, but it couldn't stop flowing.
She was also angry, but also fearful β the fear of her own incompetence.
In the hazy eyes of tears, only ultramarine, looking at everything calmly. It's as if she's a guardian or a guide, and she exists without emotion.
Ultramarine looked at the frost que who was watching the play, and slowly opened his mouth:
"Sure enough, I ...... Not misanthropic from the start. I have no reason to be bored with the world. β
Shuangque nodded slightly: "You are also a product of the rules. But again, the clock tower allowed this misstep. β
"Mistakes? is how you make up for them, at the expense of me, of unrelated people? and that I want to watch the sacrifices that I love and love me?"
She spoke quickly, without the slightest pause or hesitation, as if she had organized it and rehearsed it hundreds of times.
"Human law is something that can be constantly adjusted according to the social environment, and even the provisions that seem absurd in a certain era can be understood and established under special historical conditions. The rules are the same thing, and I don't understand why you humans can't accept the laws as you do. It's like the Sixth Guardian doesn't understand your actions that have ruined the good pastoral. β
β......β
It was almost longer than all the words she had said before combined. Ultramarine silently raised her head and looked up at the black figure floating above her.
"And if the law is wrong?"
"Everything that is realistic is rational. The exception allowed by the rule is because it is required to maintain the rule. β
"I beg to differ. β
Ultramarine turned firmly, walked briskly towards the noisy crowd, snatched the gun from Tao Zuo, and before he could react, she fired a shot into the air.
Bang β
Everyone was quiet again, like a flock of silent birds.
"I'm not here to listen to a bunch of dead people arguing. β
Hearing this, Jiang Shuo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he still chose to remain silent.
"You're weird. β
Suddenly, Nebula appeared in front of Ultramarine like a ghost. She stared at her without fear, staring at these inhuman, inhuman purple pupils that had no temperature.
"It's also special. β
She disappeared again.
Frost swooped down from the heights, getting closer. On this level, she spoke disproportionately more.
"You don't agree, and I don't understand. It is not without precedent, but people who learn the facts either have a nervous breakdown or are like ashes. And you didn't try to run away, and you didn't give up, so, what do you want?"
Frost Que made a lengthy speech again, but her tone was still so cold, without any extra emotion. It's like a sophisticated computer, just running complex instructions.
"I want the truth. β
Her voice is soft, but powerful.
Ultramarine's gaze swept over everyone present.
Truth, truth, truth, and the desire to learn about such things are the instincts of intelligent civilization. They are like delicate roses, with sharp thorns peeking out under the soft and beautiful petals.
Some flinched, some ran away, some tried in vain to trim them, but they were drenched in blood.
Approaching the truth comes at a cost. Even after giving in, the results you get aren't necessarily what you want β most of the time, they're not.
Even so, the sages flocked to it.
Ultramarine didn't know what the price would be, but she knew that she would have to make some sacrifice for it.
"How far can you go for the sake of the truth?"
Ultramarine didn't answer.
She stretched out her hand, her eyes tingling with blue. There was a sound similar to shattering glass from aboveβthe edges of the void in the dome began to tremble, and the gravitational pull gradually expanded the cracks in the deep night sky, and the loose parts smashed into the ground like an awl.
Soon, the fragments of the dome rained down.
No one knew what kind of material it was, and they dissolved quickly when they landed on the mirrored floor, without a ripple.
Then, the gradually dense fragments slashed through Koney's arm, Shi Xue's cheek, and Liu Xili's shoulder...... They rub against each other's bodies.
Tingling and blood welled up.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to bring everyone to the funeral!"
Tao Zuozi rushed up to retrieve the weapon in her other hand. But Ultramarine remained unmoved, her other arm still raising her eyes high to look up at the false night sky.
"If you want to know the truth, you can only go up, and then go up. The first thing to eradicate is the immediate threat, isn't it? β
The debris of the dome poured down unstoppable, refracting the light of the stars in the gloom. If you look at it from the outside, they are like a vast meteor, scattered on this dead pool-like ground, like a dream.
This woman is crazy. Chonglin thought to himself.
He turned around, instinctively trying to protect Shi Xue. But when he saw her, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
All the debris vaporized the moment the snow came into contact. From time to time, there would be a small puff of white smoke on her.
Her eyes have never been brighter.
However, Chonglin knew that something had been extinguished in her heart forever.
The splinters pierced his body, cutting open the exposed parts of the skin. He was in pain, but it was less than a thousandth of what he felt in his heart.
At first, Gu Qiancheng could find the gaps in the fragments through the stagnation of time, but as the attacks on her head and face became denser, the wounds on her body gradually increased. Everyone else is trying to protect themselves.
The pages of the book floating in the air were like feeble fallen leaves, struck by a relentless hail. Some of the pages were scratched, pierced, and fell helplessly to the ground.
The Guardians began to recall them. The fragments seemed to be given life to the aura, and they returned like returning birds, trying to avoid sharp debris, neatly gathered together, and flew in a circuitous direction of movement.
Chonglin seemed to understand something.
Nebulae have the power to make those loose minds less of reference value. But even though her existence is constantly being refreshed, there is only one book.
If memories are to be tampered with, indiscriminate attacks should be effective, as Ultramarine intended. And to minimize the risk, the Guardian will approach her location β the safest place β and implant new propositions.
Therefore, the Guardian's body only has a brief chance to come into contact with her head-on.
But enough.
He didn't know what Ultramarine's plans were for the Guardian once he was sure of her true identity, but he knew it was his duty to help her.
The entire dome continued to crumble and disintegrate. The dark void grew larger, and metal rings alternated with gears. The hole was like a monster's bloody jaw, devouring everything, and the jagged edges were his sharp fangs.
"Ultramarine, right rear!"
Chonglin reported the position of the nebula so loudly - capturing thoughts can avoid the risk of image errors.
Ultramarine grabbed in that direction, clutching the first thing she touched: a leather notebook.
"The book...... You never leave your hand, it must be important, right?"
