Chapter 22: The Choice
Watching Kadan Qiu brainwash the children like a godfather, Ma Lian on the side trembled, wanting to escape from here, this forgotten city has a special fear for her, at this moment Rhodes and Yaz are looking at the changes in the black lake with excitement, Lin Xiu is silent on the side, but Lin Xiu's afterglow has already seen Ma Lian's small movements, and he knows that Ma Lian's escape will definitely not succeed.
Ma Lian retreated cautiously, and gradually left Rhodes' sight, Rhodes still didn't notice, everything that happened in the Black Lake at the moment made him feel excited, Yaz was also looking at everything in the Black Lake with concern, their goal was about to be achieved, which had infinite attraction for them, Ma Lian on the side was easy to be ignored, naturally no one paid attention to her actions at this time, Ma Lian seized the opportunity to turn around and start running.
"Hmph" Kadanqiu, who was standing in the black lake, was also not immersed in the scene at this moment, he also kept an eye on everything around him, I have to say that Kadanqiu was a qualified organizational mind both rationally and keenly, Kadanqiu waved with one hand, and the air wave with the power of the magic stone was launched, almost touching Lin Xiu's head, Lin Xiu's hair was driven by the air wave to fly, but Lin Xiu didn't even blink an eye, and the air wave hit a tree in front of Ma Lian's escape road, The white trees were overwhelmed and snapped apart with a click, blocking Ma Lian's escape route, Ma Lian covered her mouth with her hand to avoid letting herself scream, but her trembling body had already shown that her heart was extremely scared, and it was a terrible thing to be found out.
"This kid is useless, and he won't enter the Black Lake, just kill it." Cardan Qiu stood in the black lake and made this decision casually, Lin Xiu's heart chuckled, Kadanqiu did not come to such a conclusion in the original work, what is this for? Is it because Claude won't appear again?
Hearing Kadanqiu's words, Roz smiled, turned around and walked towards Ma Lian, Lin Xiu looked back at Ma Lian in the distance with complicated eyes, and wondered if he should make a move at this time, "Wait, Rhodes." Cardan Qiu spoke up to stop Rhodes' actions, which made several people present look at Cardan Qiu in unison, Cardan Qiu glanced at Lin Xiu with playful eyes, stretched out his finger and pointed at him, "You come." This sentence made Lin Xiu really full of surprises, what is it for? Could it be that his actions aroused Kadanqiu's suspicions?
Lin Xiu looked at Rhodes on the side, Rhodes seemed to have a sudden epiphany and looked at Lin Xiu with interest, stood his body to the side, and tapped Ma Lian with his chin, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, let Lin Xiu take over this task, the eyes of the four people, including Ma Lian, all looked at Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu walked towards Ma Lian with difficulty, and Lin Xiu could feel that the eyes of the trio contained the meaning of temptation.
Lin Xiu walked towards Ma Lian with difficulty, there was no expression on his face, but his heart was tumbling non-stop, damn Vincent why didn't he show up? Lin Xiu has never looked forward to someone being able to rescue him like this, he has always been used to deciding everything alone, but if he wants to break the situation in front of him, unless Vincent appears, but Vincent seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and he can't hear Lin Xiu's deep cry at all.
"You scoundrel." Ma Lian looked at Lin Xiu strongly, if any of the three of them came to kill her, she would feel fear, but Lin Xiu, she not only couldn't feel fear but even a little resentful.
Oh, look, being scolded by the little girl as a bad guy, this sentence is not a bad curse in the rich language now, and even sometimes, if it is a woman between lovers, it also contains a sense of praise, doesn't it often say that men are not bad, women are not loved, but at this moment Lin Xiu felt this sentence, but it was like a cold needle stabbing his heart, villain, heh, yes, from the beginning of this game, how could he have played the role of a good person, and then as long as he raised the gun, Lin Xiu dared to guarantee, Being able to blow up Ma Lian's head at the first time, there is not even a chance for a little pain, but the hand holding the gun is shaking constantly, facing zombies and dead bodies, and even killing irrelevant people for the sake of the mission, it is not the first time for Lin Xiu, his heart has long been numb, what is maturity? Calm and numb, if the apostle's game can't learn this, then he is not worthy of living, this truth Lin Xiu deeply understood, and on the night before leaving the Paradise Bar, he even thought deeply and struggled, and finally reason prevailed over emotional thinking, so that he decided to proceed according to the task.
But when it really came time to kill Ma Lian personally, he suddenly found that such a simple shot, but it seemed to have a jack pendant hanging on his hand, and he didn't even have the strength to lift it, facing Ma Lian's firm and clear eyes, Lin Xiu's eyes escaped for the first time, what was it for? When I was hesitant and helpless, when I was slapped by my boss for the first time I worked part-time, and when I was ridiculed by others for the first time, did I ever hope that there would be a strong back to protect myself, at first there was, yes, but the helpless crying again and again was exchanged for more pain, slowly, Lin Xiu's psychology had already been honed and he no longer believed that God would still look at him, a dispensable little person, but deep in his heart, he hoped that there was no Claude here, where was the most savior? Lin Xiu never thought of himself as a savior, nothing more than one of the many puppets in the Apostle Game who struggled for their lives.
"Hey, you're moving too slowly." Yaz was a little impatient, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Lin Xiu's back, Rhodes also spat on the side, Kadanqiu's originally smiling eyes were already cold at this moment, staring at Lin Xiu's back, he had a feeling that this Lin Xiu seemed to be a failed thought body, and from this moment he could already guess the result from his steps.
"Villain, I'm not afraid of you, Sister Tifa won't forgive you." Ma Lian is still reluctantly saying, this is the biggest threat she can think of, heh, do you need good people to forgive bad people? What a childish threat this is, but it is precisely because of naivety that this kind of innocent Lin Xiu can't make this decision.
She must have hoped that someone like a savior would appear and save her from this abyss, yes, but where is the savior? He wouldn't have appeared at all, the reality is so cruel, as long as he kills Ma Lian, it won't be so painful, right? After completing the task, he will still return to the white space of the apostle, facing the next task, this one can't do it, what about the next one? I told Takashi Komuro not to believe Lady Luck's words, did you forget? I have also become a secondary 2 teenager?
Lin Xiu felt that there were two voices in his body that had been talking chaotically, one was instigating him to shoot, kill her, kill her, everything is over, the task will continue, you are so indecisive will only kill yourself, what should you do if the next target asks you to kill Tifa? This in itself is a game that does not require mercy and justice, and another voice will argue in his body, don't, Lin Xiu, you can't do that, Ma Lian is still just a child, the task has not yet reached the point where you have to kill the other party, you can avoid this situation, if you shoot this time, if you live and live, you will slowly become a puppet of the apostle, and your soul is no longer pure, do you want to see yourself like this? Is there any point in living like this? It is better to live than to die.
Fart, it's better to be alive than dead, at least there is hope for everything to be alive, isn't the cause of death of your parents investigated? At the same time, another voice began to retort, what is the point of living like this? You will live in guilt for the rest of your life, even if you find out, what's the use? In the face of a more powerful enemy, in order to stay alive, don't you have to choose to escape?
The two voices circled and quarreled in Lin Xiu's mind, making Lin Xiu's painful hands hold his head, this feeling made him feel that his head was about to burst, and he couldn't wait to end himself with one shot, the picture in front of him was constantly changing, grandma's, parents who had never met, Feng Xiaoran, smiled in front of Lin Xiu one by one, I don't want to lose you, I don't want to, I want to protect you with my life, even if I am the enemy of the whole world, I'm not afraid, yes, live for the sake of living? No, maybe crazy, but when doesn't this game make me do everything crazy, heh, it's really funny, I can't even protect a little girl, how can I protect my loved ones? Poison Island Tsuneko appeared in Lin Xiu's sight with a sarcastic face, teacher, you are really a coward, Komuro Xiao's mockery appeared in front of Lin Xiu's eyes, heh, he was looked down upon by so many people.
Lin Xiu's vision slowly regained its clarity, slowly turning from chaos to firmness, Ma Lian in front of her was still standing there, her resentful eyes contained more fear, helplessness and despair, maybe this decision was crazy, but from the beginning of this game, how could he not be struggling to survive on the brink of death? I don't want to be the savior, but at this moment, Ma Lian must be saved, I can't let him repeat the story of his childhood, I want her to know that this world has not made her desperate, and everything else is left alone for the time being, at this moment Lin Xiu only wants Ma Lian to live, and there is no regret in dying.
Lin Xiu had already walked in front of Ma Lian, this time he did not hesitate to raise the gun, on the contrary, his original painful expression had disappeared, replaced by a smile, the moment he raised the gun, Kadan Qiu's pupils shrank, Yaz put down the gun, Rhodes spat disdainfully, and then in their disbelieving eyes, Lin Xiu picked up Ma Lian with one hand, turned around and fired two bullets at Kadanqiu, this was his choice.
