Epilogue Creed

Olivia walked cautiously through the mansion, but the further she went, the more frightened she became.

Although she did not find many bodies, judging from the various traces at the scene, the killer ...... It's very much like someone who is no longer supposed to be in this world.

Finally, after searching for about ten minutes, she decided to get out of here first.

Because at this moment, she had already realized that there was no breath of living people around her for a long time.

However......

"Do you think there's a place where you can go back?"

Jack's voice sounded abruptly from Olivia's back like a whisper from hell.

At the sound of the voice, Olivia's whole body stiffened, her pupils constricted, and she turned away sharply.

"You ......" When she confirmed with her naked eyes that the other party was really Jack, fear erupted irrepressibly, "how could you ......"

"Still alive?" Jack snatched her words, paused, and then added, "The answer is engraved on my face." As he spoke, he pointed to the scar on his face.

"What do you mean?" Olivia didn't understand what Jack was saying.

"You think my ability is 'time stops,' and that's right, broadly speaking." "But ...... 'time' is a complicated thing...... To be more detailed, the 'time stop' in your perception is really just the cessation of the 'relative time' that you perceive in the physical world. He paused for half a second, and then added, "But when I'm infinitely close to death, the instinct to survive will make my brain do things that even I can't understand......

"You...... Stopped 'Absolute Time'? When Olivia heard this, she probably understood, and her expression became more solemn because of it.

"The moment the first piece of shrapnel from the bomb slashed across my face, I saw something ...... Perhaps a sight that should never have been seen by humans. "Later, I was briefly unconscious...... When I woke up, I found that my body had only suffered a few minor injuries, and the wounds had mostly healed, except for the scar on my face, which had become a necrotic and indelible old wound. ”

"Hmph......" Olivia snorted coldly, "You actually want to tell me that you are not in an injured state right now, and it is easy to deal with me, right?" Speaking of this, red and blue lights appeared on her left and right hands, respectively, "But in my opinion, you are just bluffing...... How could you survive that explosion with only a few minor injuries? ”

"Who is bluffing, the parties themselves know best." Jack said as he stepped closer to the other.

Whoop –

At that moment, Olivia stretched out her hands, and two arcs of light tore through the air, striking at Jack at two tricky angles.

In the next second, two bloody hands fell to the ground.

Jack's figure, as if teleporting, stood in front of Olivia.

"Ahh Ahh

At the same second, two streaks of blood burst out on her knees, making her lose the ability to stand.

At this time, Jack, who was looking at her with condescending eyes, had two bloody blades on the wrists of both hands.

"I've found a few old antiques in the things that Gallo left behind, and they look like relics left by the leaders of the Underworld a long time ago." Jack glanced down at the Hidden Blade in his hand and said coldly, "I think it's only fitting to use them on you, the current leader." ”

"What do you understand!" Olivia endured the excruciating pain, pressed the two severed wrists against her body to stop the bleeding, and staggered on the ground, away from Jack, "You know how much my father paid to keep the end!" And how much was sacrificed! ”

"I don't know, and I'm not interested." Jack approached step by step, "Because what your father wants to protect is not the Underworld, but your ......"

Olivia was visibly stunned when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

"He may be a well-intentioned father, but that doesn't mean he's a worthy leader or a respectable man." Jack continued, "You and your father are essentially no different from Gallo......

"All killers know that the true Soul will not succumb to money, power, or power, for it is a shadow that guards all beings and the justice of the world in the shadows.

"It's never been an industry...... It is a spirit that should be passed on, not inherited.

"But you, your father, and Gallo, you regard it as an entity that bears power and fame, as your own possessions...... With a motive that is contrary to the spirit of the Underworld, it is driven by personal will.

"You were supposed to keep people like Bruno awake, but now you're a weapon in his hands.

"Such a vision, at least in my opinion...... It has long been in name only. ”

As Olivia heard these words, her face, pale from blood loss, grew angrier.

When one's values are completely denied and cannot be refuted, the anger that bursts out of despair is indescribable.

"That's a beautiful thing to say......" she sneered, still crawling, "Huh...... You're an outsider, but you're talking to me about the 'spirit of the underworld'? She growled hysterically, "You know! Faith without the support of strength is a joke! What has she been through over the years...... How much do you know? What can an organization that cannot protect itself talk about justice? She spat out, "What about yourself?" Scold...... Haven't you watched that bitch die in your arms? Did all your rhetoric save her? The ideal is that the strong and the victor are qualified to talk about things! Do you count? ”

Jack was silent for a few seconds.

"You're right." He thought for a moment, then said, "I don't count." He paused again, "I'm just a weak loser......

"I plucked up the courage to go back to this place where I had been far away and tried to find a redemption for my heart.

This kind of thinking itself is selfish, despicable, and weak.

"Sinners always want to use some opportunistic means to get rid of their guilt, and use the logic of self-deception to make themselves feel forgiven......

"But the truth is, what happens, doesn't change; The karma of sins that have been committed cannot be eliminated.

"So, I won't dwell on the 'past' anymore, and if there is a way to salvation in the world, it will be ...... in the future."

Olivia didn't speak to him again, just crawled silently on the ground; Because she has shed too much blood, even though her physique is much stronger than ordinary people, she is almost at the limit.

"I've already asked once, but I don't think you understood......" Jack looked at her for a few seconds, then repeated the first words he said when he saw her, "what do you think...... Is there a place where you can go back? ”

This time, Olivia understood.

So she stopped moving and froze in place.

In fact, this is something she should have thought of the moment she confirmed that Jack was still alive - why did the other party know her whereabouts? Her visit to Bruno should only be known to her men, so obviously...... Jack had already visited her Assassins before she arrived. Other words...... Most of those people are no longer in this world.

"You...... You ......" Olivia could barely speak, but she rolled over in pathos and crawled over to Jack, muttering through her bloodless lips, "...... Outrageous...... Do you know what you do? I'll kill you...... I'm going to ......"

Her life was coming to an end, but her obsession was still tormenting her.

Jack fell to one knee and held Olivia, who was barely able to resist, with one hand, and let the other man tap him on the shoulder with a bloody wrist that was exposed to the bones.

"Of course I know what I'm doing, I've never had such a clear idea of who I am and what I mean by what I'm doing." Jack said, "Those who don't understand yet...... It's you. ”

"Ahem...... ......At this moment, Olivia's hand finally hung weakly to the ground, and she couldn't lift it anymore.

Tears of despair flowed from her eyes, and her eyes became hollow.

"Those who are not bound by the rules will naturally not be protected by the rules...... Jack said, holding the other person into his arms with one hand, and slowly raising the other hand, "Those who serve the light must have the consciousness of committing themselves to the darkness......" He put his Hidden Blade against Olivia's neck, "Your sins are removed by me, and I will bear the ......"

In the next second, the Hidden Blade stabbed Olivia's throat, ending her not-so-long life.

The girl's death did not change Jack's firm and cold eyes, he just put away his Hidden Blade and walked silently to the empty corridor in front of him.

"Under the blade of killing gods, everything is empty."

"Sin passes away with me, but creed lives on."
