Before Gergill could return, or before he was sure if he would return, Ian had already returned to Sandshield City in the night.

He stood under a roof in despair, guarding the way back to the city, his mind seemed to be blank, many things flashed by, and he couldn't grasp anything.

He didn't know what he was still here for, was he going to wait for Gergill to come back and question him? Or do you just want to make sure he'll come back?

I don't know how long it has been, but Ian has a blank gaze to find a figure in the alleyway not far ahead, flashing in the heavy snow, and then disappearing into the dark night.

There is no doubt that it is Gergil, and he is back.

Ian took a deep breath of chilly air, the tingling in his throat and chest lifted his spirits, and he stepped in hot pursuit.

It was a dazed and disorderly walk, shuttling through the narrow and chaotic alleyways, but unlike before, Gegil's speed slowed down a lot, and he didn't move at the same high speed as he ran.

Ian's mind had never been on the same page, but tonight he was surprisingly calm, and soon noticed something unusual—Gergill seemed to be going around in circles in the same place.

In other words, he's already found himself stalking?

This answer did not panic Ian, and he very calmly stopped following him, and then left down the alleyway and came to a long street to wait

It was rare for a snowy night like this to come out, but few didn't mean there weren't, and soon Ian saw a figure hurrying from the other side of the long street.

Ian didn't hesitate and rushed out to stop the figure.

The other party was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, his nose was red from the cold, and he had a faint smell of alcohol on his body, obviously a drunkard, and he was looking at Ian with fear and doubt: "You, what do you want?" ”

Ian was glad that the drunkard was not drunk, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and took out the money from the sale of the horse directly from his body, which was enough for a small bag.

He poured out half of it and put it back on his body, and handed the other half to the middle-aged man: "When you wait for me here for half a moment, all this money will be yours, but I can only give you half of it now, and if I appear in half a quarter, I will give you the other half." If I don't show up after half a moment, you can go to the three-story inn on Perwick Street and find a guy named Erwin, and tell him that my name is Ian, and let him come here, and he'll give you the rest of the money, understand? ”

The middle-aged man stared at Ian for a moment, then at the money in the bag, which was large enough for him to drink for a month without working.

"I—I know." The middle-aged man reached out and took the money bag in Ian's hand, and then quickly hid it in his arms, as if he was afraid that Ian would regret it.

Ian nodded, then exhaled, and without the slightest hesitation, turned and entered the alleyway.

The snow falling from the sky seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and Ian's feet crunched on the snow, and he no longer hid his tracks, because there was no need for this.

He wanted to see Gegil, and Gegill would come out to see him.

"I didn't expect it to be you."

The sound from behind made Ian's footsteps stop suddenly, the sound was familiar, but it had a very unfamiliar feeling.

Ian looked down and blinked, then slowly turned around, and through the falling snowflakes, he saw a man in a black burqa, standing not far behind him.

The darkness made it difficult for Ian to see the other person's face, but the familiar voice, and the feeling that the person in front of him gave him, was indeed Gergil, his cousin, and the only living relative.

"Ggil." Ian's voice choked up, his current emotions were very complicated, anger, sadness, pain and disappointment, all kinds of negative emotions were tangled, making him feel the urge to hit someone, and even his voice was a little crying, "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

"Oh? What are you referring to? Gegil's voice was calm, like an ancient well without waves, without any emotion in his words, and there was no longer the faint warmth of talking to his loved ones.

"You know what I'm talking about." Ian's tone became agitated, full of anger at being deceived, "I didn't expect you to be like this, no, I should have thought of it back when I saw you covered in injuries last night." ”

"But you didn't expose me, did you? When it comes to protecting your brother, you're a very qualified older brother. "If you tell the truth, I'm in trouble, and that guy has tried to find a reason to kill me several times." ”

Ian's breath froze, and his heart ached as if it had been pinched by the palm of his hand.

"Yes, that's right, I'm a murderer, I've killed a lot of people, so many that I can't even count them, thousands of people, right? I can still recall their desperate wails and screams after my limbs were broken, and maybe you can experience it, it's a wonderful feeling. "I sometimes even divide them into different types, children, old people, men, women, and see which of them screams louder than the other, and I will end his life early on the loudest one, as if it were a reward." You know cousin, they are

"Enough"

Ian interrupted Gegill with a roar of rage, and sharply drew his sword and aimed it at him, "Tell me Gegill, why are you doing this?" Why? ”

Looking at Ian, who was screaming hoarsely, Gegil's excited expression slowly converged, and he turned into a calm and calm appearance again.

"yes? Why? Why the hell am I the way I am, was it when Rory raped Mia? Or when I killed Rory? Or maybe I couldn't figure it out when Mia died in front of me. But I don't hate it now. Gergil's tone was as indifferent as if he were saying something completely unrelated to him.

"Y-What did you say?" Ian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Of course, he knew who Rory and Mia were, one was Gergil's best friend, and the other was his favorite girl, and it was because of Mia that Gergill refused Ian's request to adopt him many times.

But...... Rory rapes Mia...... Gergill kills Rory...... How is this possible, aren't you best friends?

Ian's mind was in a state of confusion for a moment, and he was speechless by the shocking news.

It occurred to him that after he met Gegill in Sandshield City, he seemed to want to ask Rory how he and Mia were doing several times, but each time Gegill was fooled with other topics.

"Do you know cousin, I almost broke down at that time, I killed the entire Xiqiu Village, those people usually look down on me, they will only bully me, but after I broke my hands and feet, they would cry and beg for mercy for me, and I fell in love with this feeling since then."

Gergil began to speak again, and he had kept these words in his heart for a long time, but unfortunately no one had ever been able to hear him.

"Then I met Ecilia, you know, the young lady from the team." A look of fascination appeared on Gergil's face, "How much she looks like Mia, I like her, she must like me, she is my hope, all I have, I will definitely get her, take her far away from here, and go to a place where no one is ......"

"You're crazy Gergil, that young lady won't like you, no one likes a murderer." Ian interrupted Gergil, "No matter what you've been through, no matter how much pain you've suffered, you can't involve innocent people, let alone the fact that you've killed so many innocent people. ”

"Am I not innocent? Then Why did Mia get killed? If I don't involve innocent people, won't others endanger innocent people? Let's just talk about this war on the Plains of Iron Hoof, how many innocent people have been killed, have you thought about them Ian? Why don't you condemn the perpetrators and focus on me alone? Gergill smiled.

"This is not a reason for you to kill people wantonly, I will ask you one last question, what did you go to the military camp in North Sunderland just now?" Ian took a step forward, the sharp tip of his sword just a few steps away from Gegill.

"You just stalked me?" Gegill was a little surprised, he only found out about Ian's tracking after entering the city, but not before leaving the city.

"Yes, I saw you enter the army camp in North Sunderland, what are you going to do? Are you a spy for North Sunderland? "Ian can't stand Gergill becoming a murderer, and he can't stand being a spy for an enemy country.

"What to do? Of course, I'm going to open the door for them, but how can I capture the city if I don't open it? As for whether I'm a spy or not, you can guess and I'll tell you if I guess right. Gegil smiled, but a cold light began to glean in his eyes.

"You're really crazy Gegir." Ian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I can't keep you in this world. ”

"Oh? You want to kill me? Gergil's eyes widened, "You're going to kill me just because I killed some unrelated people?" I'm your only relative, I'm your brother, and you want to kill me like everyone else? ”

"Yes," Ian replied in a trembling voice, "it's repentance and atonement."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in Ian's hand stabbed at Gegil.
