“BINGO！”

KP applauded in amazement and expressed his appreciation without any reservations: "You are an excellent investigator, Ms. Ai!

Congratulations, you've solved the hidden puzzle in this mod - the death of Paracelsus!"

He paused and smiled mysteriously, "If I can complete the secret mission, I will give you an additional reward after clearing the mod, and believe me, it is definitely not inferior to that fragment of the Philosopher's Stone." ”

Ai Qing didn't feel the slightest joy at all.

Because this is the task that Abraham van Helsing cannot escape.

- Completely kill this miracle!

In silence, Huai Shi stared at the ceiling in a daze, and for a long time, looked at the back of Lily operating the alchemy equipment, and suddenly whispered, "It would be nice if I found out earlier." ”

Ai Qing scoffed at such weakness: "So you will be more happy to do it?"

"I don't know, so I can at least lie to myself - everyone who gets on this ship deserves it. ”

"You can lie to yourself now, it's just a game, a piece of history, and even if you do anything, no one will follow it. ”

"yes. ”

Huai Shi closed her eyes.

It's just a record, a record of the past, and it's not even really what happened, it's just a game made from the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone.

It's like he once did in his records.

He should have gotten used to it.

Just pull the trigger.

It doesn't matter if it's an old man or a child, they're already dead, and it's none of your business...... It's just a game, but you can still grow.

How wonderful.

But when Huai Shi looked at Lily's back, she didn't know what to do.

She was facing away from Huaishi.

Defenseless.

Attentively adjusting the proportions of the potions in the crucible, focused and relaxed, as if he were in his own home, humming softly in his throat a song that he didn't know where.

Huai Shi can almost completely conclude that this is not an illusion like a doppelganger, but a real whole.

He doesn't even need an ax.

Just pull out that throwing knife that is close at hand, and you can put an end to it completely.

His fingers flickered.

In the end, he retracted weakly.

"I can't do it, Ai Qing. ”

Huai Shi sighed in frustration and lowered her eyes tiredly: "If I kill her, I'm afraid I'll become the kind of person I hate the most." ”

If you kill Lily here, what difference will it be from the instructor who slaughtered an entire village for trivial reasons?

And where will you put yourself who is angry and sad about it?

Do you want to kill your past self?

Maybe Ai Qing will tell him that this is growth.

The so-called growth is to deny the former self.

Huai Shi never minds denying herself.

But he couldn't imagine how to face Lily lying in a pool of blood.

Will those pure eyes regret their trust in Huai Shi in the end, anger, sadness, or in the end, will they all be the kind of tranquility that accepts everything calmly?

"What would you do if it were you, Ai Qing?"

"I'll probably hesitate, like you. Ai Qing replied calmly: "But in the end, I think I will kill her...... I'm going to save myself, and no matter what happens, I'm going to live. ”

"......" Huai Shi was silent.

"Do you want me to give you orders, Huaishi?"

Ai Qing asked, "It's like ordering you to leave Qi Yuan alive, ordering you to kill her - I can do this if you want, after all, this is the relationship between us, you are in charge of the action, and I can leave the rest."

The so-called ombudsman is used to do this, and you don't have to have any scruples. ”

Huai Shi did not speak again.

"Then, Huaishi, I command you. ”

Ai Qing let out a cruel voice: "Complete your mission and kill Lily." ”

"Wait a minute......"

Huai Shi subconsciously opened his mouth, but finally suddenly at that moment.

"Look, it's only when the coin drops that you know which side you want. ”

Ai Qing sighed and lowered her eyes: "I won't have any more orders for you in the future, Huaishi, you have to make your own decisions and face the consequences yourself." ”

"But is that really good?"

Across the table, KP smiled and asked, "He didn't even know that this decision was about your life." ”

"No, I should say, you've been confusing a bit from beginning to end. ”

Ai Qing raised his eyes to look at him: "Even if he doesn't complete his mission, as long as he can set foot on the new continent, it means that the mod has been cleared."

If you want to live, you don't have to kill Lily. ”

"As it sounds, I don't deny your suspicions. KP shrugged: "Unfortunately, I thought you would be a little more crisp and decisive...... More like the guy in the file I saw. ”

"People always change, don't they?"

Ai Qing asked coldly, "Besides, let me force him to kill Lily—that's your purpose, KP, right?"

“......”

KP was silent for a moment, then slowly bowed his head: "That's true. ”

"I don't see fairness in your game, at least...... Didn't look at what your rule book says fair. ”

"Ah, you need to understand this, it's like 'justice'. KP smiled ambiguously: "It is occasionally late, but occasionally ...... Will also be absent. ”

"But not this time. Ai Qing stared at him and told him categorically: "Where there is me, never." ”

"I'm looking forward to it. ”

KP smiled.

Cast the dice in your hand.

The game continues.

.

.

Lily's medicine is effective.

At least a large number of tranquilizers inside are effective.

Today, Huai Shi has been able to barely restrain the killing intent surging in his heart and carry out some faint activities, just like a patient who has been lying in bed for a long time, walking around in the cramped cabin and carrying out some restoration activities.

Not really.

As long as there is enough blood, vampires can quickly recover their health, and for Lily, artificial blood plasma is a no-brainer.

It's even apple-flavored.

As for the effect, although it is a little worse, at least it is better than nothing.

Huai Shi has returned to the state of six points.

But due to the chaos of his thoughts and the irrepressible killing intent in his heart, he didn't know how to face Lily, and he didn't speak again after the initial thanks, just sat alone in the corner, holding a pen and writing and drawing on the book of fate, trying to sort out his thoughts.

But soon he realized that it did not do him the slightest benefit to the boredom and anxiety in his heart.

In addition, there was one more thing he didn't tell Ai Qing.

Because he discovered: the stigmata of believers...... Extremely similar to the Shade.

No, if you look at it chronologically, part of the core of the Yin Soul comes from the 'believers'...... It's just that the two are diametrically opposed.

The former selflessly shares this favor with the pure essentia infused with piety, and Huai Shi ...... It is a negative energy making machine.

And now he's become a vampire this kind of negative energy absorber. It's like going all the way to the ...... on the abyss.

So, how many parts of the crow are used to put together the stigma of the shadow ghost? No, it should be said that in addition to the stigma of the believer, how many miracles are related to the abyss lineage?

How deep is the water of the Abyssal Lineage?

By now, Huai Shi is no longer the stupid boy he used to be who didn't understand anything, at least he understands a little bit of it.

In this world, there are no miracles for no reason.

A real miracle doesn't come and go suddenly.

That is, no genealogy appears out of thin air, there must be a origin.

So, where did the Abyss Lineage come from, or was the Astronomical Society really powerful enough to pull out a non-existent Stigmata Lineage with empty hands?

This is even more terrifying than Paracelsus creating an artificial man with his bare hands.

After all, there is only one Lily, and one lineage can last forever and be transmitted to tens of millions of people. Each lineage can be said to be the foundation of the world axis where a god remains, and now that the gods are dead, this move of the Astronomical Society is no different from rubbing a group of gods out of thin hands, and it has also been recognized by the world axis.

Is it possible?

The more Huai Shi thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she rubbed her brows a little irritably, and then ...... Noticed Lily's cautious gaze not far away.

As if sensing the irritability and depression in Huai Shi's heart, she didn't bother him, but flipped through the dictionary in her hand, thinking that she was looking at him very secretly.

Sensing his gaze, his expression froze for a moment, and then became calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem. She asked, "Are you busy?"

"No, there is no ......"

Huai Shi shook her head, not knowing what to tell her.

But she had already come over, curiously looking at the messy words recorded by Huai Shi in the book, and after finding that she couldn't understand it, she looked at the graffiti that Huai Shi sketched casually in the corner.

Then he was stunned for a moment.

"Who is this?"

She leaned closer, looking at the mocking and arrogant face in the note.

With just a few strokes, he painted the cold and cruel look in his eyes, and he opened his mouth as if he were about to spit out vicious words that were as substantial as they were.

It's unsettling.

"Uh......"

Huai Shi didn't know how to explain it, and in the end she could only say: "This ...... This man's name is Brother Blackfly. ”

So Lily suddenly said, "Beelzebub?"

“...... Uh, probably. Huai Shi wiped the sweat from his head, "He really likes to let others eat." ”

"And what about this negro?" Lily then asked, "and he looked confused. ”

"Yes, he's confused. ”

Huai Shi easily added three question marks to the black man's graffiti head.

"Where's this?"

"IT'S A FROG CALLED PEPE. ”

"Why does it look so sad?"

"I don't know. Huai Shi sighed, "It's probably painful to be alive." ”

"That's a shame, it looks cute. Lily shook her head regretfully: "Like a little doll, but Hohenheim doesn't like it, and throws away everything I made myself." ”

"Really?"

Huai Shi was silent for a moment and shook her head, "He shouldn't have done this." ”

"Well, people will probably have a bad temper when they get old, but if they lose their temper, they will regret it, apologize to me, and hope I forgive him...... But I've never been angry with him. ”

Lily curled up in her chair and sighed softly, "He was panicking until he died, as if he was hiding from something, but he never told me. After giving me this ticket, he died...... In the end, he didn't even allow me to call him father. ”

“......”

In silence, Huai Shi hesitated for a long time, reached out and touched her hair: "I believe that in his heart, you are more important than anything else." ”

"Who knows?"

Lily shook her head: "Everyone's heart is hidden in their chest, and no one will see what's inside until they die - Hohenheim told me to learn to protect myself, but I don't even know what to guard against."

How can I know what other people are hiding in their hearts?"

"yes. ”

Huai Shi responded dryly, feeling the killing intent that was almost boiling in her chest, and she couldn't help but want to vomit.

Disgusted by their hypocrisy.

"Well, speaking of which......" he stiffly changed the subject, "how old are you?" I mean age. ”

"Well, I think about it. ”

As if she hadn't paid attention to this, Lily lowered her head and began to write and draw quickly in her notebook, Huai Shi leaned over to take a look, and then felt a flower in front of her.

There is even a schematic diagram of the planet's movement in the middle of various long-term numerical calculations...... It's like re-establishing the calendar, is it so hardcore even if it's an age?

Soon, Lily finished the calculation: "Four and a half years old." ”

"Huh?"

Huai Shi was stunned.

Four-and-a-half-year-old?

Sister, are you kidding?

Huai Shi looked at her mature appearance in amazement, even if everyone is of different races, you should at least be an adult, right?

"Ah, my physique is not the same as the average person. Lily seemed to reflect, avoiding the question a little stiffly: "Y-you?"

"I'm seventeen. Huai Shi replied.

Lily's expression instantly became disgusted: "Liar, but your bone age is already 38 years old!"

“...... All I can say is that for a variety of reasons. ”

Huai Shi sighed, feeling that she sighed more today than in the previous year.

He had no idea how to introduce himself to Lily.

After all, he is now Van Helsing.

Abraham Van Helsing.

He is the executioner of the Order, the vampire hunter, the murderer who came to kill Lily......

While he was pondering, he heard Lily's pleasant voice: "Look, I've finished drawing too!"

"What were you drawing?"

Huai Shi lowered her head, and then a mouthful of water squirted out.

Just below the title page of his dictionary, there is a vivid panda head expression, but the place on the face is empty......

"I don't know what to draw an expression of. Lily scratched her hair in annoyance, "I feel like I can't draw anything better than you." ”

“......”

That's because I'm the crystallization of wisdom that has gathered the blood and sweat of countless people!

How can you compare to you alone.

To be able to fight with people in 1620 can only be said to be ...... It is a fresh experience that Huai Shi has never imagined.

In the midst of a jumble of thoughts, he heard Lily's voice.

"Huai Shi. ”

I don't know when, the girl has turned to Huai Shi's eyes, her eyes blinking, full of anticipation: "I just suddenly thought: why don't we travel together after arriving in the New World, anyway, I don't have anything to go...... You don't have anywhere to go either, do you?

And I can make plasma for you, so you don't have to worry about finding food anymore. ”

Huai Shi looked at her blankly.

I don't know how to answer.

"Can't you?" asked Lily.

"No, that's good. ”

Huai Shi shook her head stiffly and asked dryly, "Is there any place you want to go?"

"Yellowstone, how's it going?"

Lily thought for a moment and proposed, "I've always wanted to visit Yellowstone, where it is said that there are many geothermal springs, as well as lions and elephants, what about you?"

“...... I don't know. ”

Huai Shi lowered her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse: "I haven't thought about it, so let's talk about it next time, I have to sleep for a while." ”

Lily was stunned for a moment, nodded, and returned to her workbench to continue to stare at the progress of the potion, but after a long time, she couldn't help but look back at Huai Shi who was leaning on the bedside: "Am I annoyed you?"

“...... No. ”

So, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked a little nervously, "We're friends, right?"

"Yes. Huai Shi lowered her eyes, "We are friends." ”

"That's great. ”

Lily laughed happily, like a child, and ran over and hugged him gently, without even reacting to Huaishi.

"Then you go to sleep, I won't bother you. She realized her gaffe, took a step back, and picked up her dictionary: "Ahem, let's talk again when you have time." ”

Huai Shi looked at him blankly for a long time and closed her eyes.

"......"

Looking at the defenseless girl with her back to her, Huai Shi reached into her arms, held the cold handle of the dagger, and quietly pulled it out, staring at the pair of scarlet pupils reflected on the blade of the dagger.

Then, he tossed the aside.

Fuck the Order!

Fuck Van Helsing!

Fuck everything!

Old!son!no!!!

Enduring the sharp pain of anger in her heart, Huai Shi raised her head, breathed a sigh of refreshment, and smiled: "Lily, how about I teach you to draw a tearful cat head?"

"Yes, yes. ”

......

It was about late afternoon when there was a commotion outside the door, and after a while, someone knocked softly on the door and asked if there was anyone inside.

After they opened the door vigilantly, the people outside the door smiled and brought good news.

America is coming.

With so many people dying thanks to a turmoil, the speed of the ship was incredible. Not long ago, a witch on a ship who was good at astrology measured their distance from the Americas.

If we keep up this speed, we'll be able to reach the New World tomorrow morning.

All people are able to be free and liberated.

Therefore, it was suggested that a banquet should be held to celebrate.

At this moment, the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere on the ship had been swept away, and everyone seemed to be beaming, with a warm smile, a gentle conversation, and an elegant demeanor.

It's like a new life.

For some reason, Huai Shi's heart couldn't help but sink.

Yesterday's turmoil and catastrophe didn't seem to leave any trace on the ship, and the story continues.

Towards a predetermined ending.

He lowered his head, only to see the end of the chapter slowly emerging from the Book of Destiny, a line of large black letters.
