Vega's dagger stopped.

Leah's voice was like a volley of cold water, returning his restless heart to normal.

When did you start so eager to kill?

Vega's eyes flashed with confusion, then turned to determination.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, if I don't kill you, you will kill me, in this world where the law of the jungle prevails, it is not that he desires to kill, but that he has to kill in order to save his life.

He's right.

It's the world that's wrong.

If everyone in this world could maintain absolute rationality, then Khabincadi would not blame him for killing Caddy, but would thank him for killing only one of the main culprits, but they didn't.

At the moment of Cady's death.

Both Carlo and Carbine lost their minds and attacked him, and he was only ready to kill them for his own protection.

Since he wasn't wrong, why did Leah let him stop?

If you don't understand, you don't want to.

All he knew was that the current task was to erase the target: "If it's Leah, then you'll definitely understand me." ”

The dagger was raised again.

Bang.

Before the dagger fell, it was knocked to the ground by Leah, who was running quickly, and even the dagger fell to the ground, Vega didn't want to dodge, but he didn't want to dodge, he needed an explanation.

"Xiao Wei, why?"

Leah glanced at the surrounding situation in confusion, and then hurriedly protected the store manager: "Obviously, it was Brother Carlo's family who saved us, why do you want to take revenge?"

"Because the Qadi committed treason, according to the laws of the Empire, he should be connected to the nine clans. ”

Vega stood up again, a little afraid to look Leah in the eye, so he took a few steps back and said, "And my current identity is an Imperial soldier, and as an Imperial soldier, I must erase those who have committed treason, and this is my duty. ”

"But ......"

Leah didn't doubt Vega's words: "But Big Brother Carlo's family has already saved your life, you have already killed Cady and Big Brother Carlo, do you want to kill the store manager together?"

"I've given them a chance. ”

Vega looked at Leah and said unquestioningly, "Since they don't know how to cherish that one chance they have, then they have lost the right to live. ”

"Please give the store manager another chance. ”

Leah looked a little excited: "I can't watch you kill the store manager in front of me anyway. ”

"What if I say no?" Vega's voice was a little grim.

Leah didn't speak, she stubbornly raised her hands in front of the store manager.

Her actions couldn't be more obvious, even if she had to protect the store manager with her life.

Vega was silent.

He should have known that if Leah saw this, he would definitely stop him from killing.

She's such a fool.

Even if she sacrifices her own life, she will not die to the weak person in front of her, but unfortunately she is not a strong person herself, so she often needs to bear the risk of losing her life after saving others.

It's like that piece of brown bread ten months ago.

Even though she hadn't eaten for two days, when she saw Vega dying, she still chose to give the piece of black bread to Vega, and she never thought that she might die if she lost it.

Leah is such a kind human that everyone wants to save.

But in such a world that follows the law of the jungle, kindness is of no use.

No one will sing praises for your kindness, some will only keep taking, endless greed, and even one day they will find ways to get revenge because they can't get your favor.

Vega looks down on useless kindness.

Kindness will only make one's own bonds more and invite unwarranted disasters.

But he was saved by Leah, a good angel, and strictly speaking he was also a beneficiary of kindness, so he would not kill Leah, even if he would be charged with dereliction of duty.

It is in the midst of endless darkness......

Vega wanted to keep this light.

He turned.

There was no choice to kill the store manager, and there was no choice to keep Leah by his side.

Just as Vega chose to leave ten months ago, was that really because he didn't want to drag Leah down?

Perhaps it is precisely because of a clear understanding of the darkness of this world that he chooses to leave the kind Leah and the corrupt world to join the same stream, and only by choosing to compromise with the dark world and abide by the law of the jungle of the world can he walk a truly smooth sailing life.

The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.

Vega finally chose to let Carbine go, and at the same time he turned his back to Leah and said, "Get out of here, this place will probably cease to exist in three hours, Leah, and wish you a wonderful and miserable future full of misfortune and tragic happiness." ”

But just then, Carbine moved.

Carried away by his anger, he had already taken Leah and Vega for a raccoon dog, and he picked up the dagger that fell to the ground and stabbed it directly into Leah's back.

Bang.

A trail of blood ran down the corner of Leah's mouth, and she fell to the ground.

Vega shuddered, as if he had guessed something.

He turned around with difficulty, his eyes were a little hazy, and the world seemed to stop at this moment.

The light is gone.

Is there really no room for light in this dark world?

Vega didn't know.

He walked towards Leah step by step, like a walking corpse.

With a wave of his hand, Carbine, who was delusional about shaking the tree, flew upside down.

He squatted down and gently hugged Leah in his arms: "Leah, it's you who are wrong, kindness itself is a mistake." ”

"There is no room for kindness in this world. ”

"Kindness only invites disaster, like Carlo took you in, or if you saved me, if I spared Carbine, all kindness is causing trouble. ”

"You want to save everyone, but who will save you at the end of the day?"

Vega sat on the ground with Leah in his arms like this: "Leah, I was wrong, it was my kindness that killed you." Kindness is indeed something of no use at all, and garbage should be buried in the dark. ”

Vega got back to his feet.

He walked towards Carbine, without any expression in his eyes: "Rather teach me to bear the world, stop teaching the world to bear me, until this time, I really understood the meaning of this sentence, but...... But it was too late. ”

A man's head flies.

The dagger was back in Vega's hand, and he carefully wiped it clean and placed it on his body.

Regret it?

Of course, I regret it, if he didn't choose to keep the last trace of kindness at that time, but chose to kill Carbine directly, then Leah would not have died, it was his kindness that killed Leah, and it was also Leah's kindness that killed herself.

But regret is useless.

Humans inevitably make mistakes, but the reason why humans are superior to other animals is that they know their mistakes and can correct them, and Vega has recognized his mistakes.

This is a dark world of decay.

You want to live.

Either have the power to turn the world upside down, or bury useless goodness.
