What is human nature?

From the time when she was just sensible, Charlotte kept thinking with her little head.

It is explained in the school textbook that from the moment of birth, the nature of man is good, virtuous and loving.

Just like the neighbor's grandmother, whenever she came home at dusk, she always stood by the window and smiled at herself, and sometimes generously reached out and threw a sweet candy from the window.

The moment the candy was in her hand, Charlotte always felt that people with kindness and virtue were not limited to newborn people.

Paradoxically, whenever he passes by the sand of the small park, there is the occasional group of young children who are playing with small animals such as squirrels, birds, and mice.

Another example is a newborn kitten.

That day, they were surrounding a newborn kitten whose eyes had not yet opened. One of the chubby children held a sharp gravel in his hand and stabbed the kitten in the abdomen with a sharp sandstone.

When the blood spilled on the sand, when the blood stained the children's hands, the children gathered around laughed, so bright and innocent.

The laughter drowned out the kitten's low cry of pain, as if begging for mercy and longing for sympathy.

Charlotte saw it, bright red entrails flowing from the cut place, tears of pain left in the corners of the kitten's eyes.

Until the end, they did not let it go, and continued to play with the corpse, which was gradually cold and lifeless, until it was almost dark, and the children were driven away by the adults, leaving behind the broken kittens.

Like a broken red ragdoll, lying quietly on the sand.

At that time, Charlotte was scared, very scared. The bright red blood kept eating away at his heart like a demon, and if he provoked the children older than himself, he didn't know if he would end up like the kitten.

It wasn't until it began to get dark, and the children had left, that Charlotte lifted her frightened feet and stepped out of the corner.

On that day, he buried the kitten's carcass in the dirt not far away, and plucked a wild flower next to it and placed it on the grave.

That night, Charlotte, covered in mud, returned home, and in order not to worry his pregnant mother, he smiled and told a white lie to his gentle mother, saying that he had just accidentally fallen on the mud.

Obviously, the school textbook did not answer Charlotte's question, which Charlotte had been buried in her heart.

A few years later, until she had fallen asleep peacefully, Charlotte asked the grief-stricken priest next to her the questions that had been buried in her heart.

"What is human nature?" he asked, looking at her serene face, calmly, "why should she, who is so good, be punished in this way?"

The priest patted Charlotte on the shoulder, "She has the fruit of the Holy Spirit. In heaven, she will be praised. ”

"But she still sleeps forever, even with what you call the fruit of the Spirit, until the last moment, 'God' did not save her. ”

"No, God just..."

"Answer me, Father. ”

"Is it a sin if you can only 'glutton' everything you can find in the rich man's garbage heap when you are so hungry?"

"If you are born with a disability, is it a sin to 'envy and envy' others for having a healthy and complete body?"

"If your loved one is about to be killed, you have no power but to use the blade called 'Wrath' to protect your loved one..."

“... Is that a sin?"

"Is man's original intention, man's nature good or evil? ”

"If it was said that taking on 'sin' would save her life, I would not hesitate to pick it up. ”

“... Even if it drives me crazy, even if it takes my life..."

“... Even if it's the 'wrath' of one of the 'sins'. ”

......

"Don't be too presumptuous!" Wright swung his long sword, and the shadow of the sword turned into silver light again and stabbed at the vital point of Charlotte's chest.

When the silver light was about to touch Charlotte's chest, he saw Charlotte's body slightly to the side, and the silver light fell directly on his left shoulder to avoid the vital position.

Blood swept out with the shadow of the sword, and Charlotte, regardless of her injuries, lifted the straight sword in her right hand and slashed down diagonally without hesitation.

Speed and strength, faster and more powerful than Wright's sword.

Wright, who had already swung his sword, had no time to dodge, so he had to push his body back as far back as possible to avoid fatal damage.

Blood splattered from the shoulders to the abdomen, and Wright's body was slashed by Charlotte with a horrific scar. After the confrontation, he quickly distanced himself, and the sword in his hand burst into sharp light.

"Combat Skill: Seventy-two Speed..."

Just as Wright wanted to launch his combat skills, the crimson figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, and at the moment when the distance between the two was only half a meter, Wright clearly saw that there was only anger and madness in the bloodshot eyes of the young man in front of him, as well as the dark hollowness in his chest.

At such a close distance, Wright couldn't launch a combat skill, and his right hand subconsciously swung out, piercing Charlotte's left arm.

Charlotte's straight sword, on the other hand, pierced Wright's lungs mercilessly.

"Ahem, that hollow, I see!" the mortally injured Wright kicked Charlotte in the abdomen and sent him several meters away, before unleashing his skills without hesitation.

"Skill Seventy-Two Flash!" In an instant, Wright's hand turned into lightning, flashing around Charlotte, cutting everything.

When the light passed, Wright's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked to find that Charlotte, who should have been cut into mud, was only a tattered crimson canopy in his place.

And the figure of the young man is nowhere to be found.

There was a muffled sound of hitting the ground, and I saw Wright raise his long sword high, just in time to block Charlotte who was slashed from the sky.

Looking up at the boy's crazy eyes, and the dark hollow in his chest, Wright said in a hoarse voice, "Understood, I finally understood." ”

"Why are you hurt so badly and not dead yet. Why are you so weak, but you can survive until now. ”

"You are burdened with 'sin', you are the mortal enemy of all people in this world, the mortal enemy of all gods, and the mortal enemy of all living beings!"

"You are a 'sinner'!"

'Sinner', the term flickered through Eagles's mind, but at this moment he had no intention of being distracted, and continued to concentrate on waiting for Charlotte's instructions.

Wright's arms suddenly bulged, and he swung his sword with great force to push Charlotte away.

"I'm definitely not going to die, I'm going to kill you!"

This time, he instantly activated his combat skills, and the light once again attached to his blade, and there was a look of panic in his eyes full of murderous intent.

Just as Wright was about to swing his sword, suddenly two spherical glass bottles appeared between the two of them, and the fine sand in the glass bottles flowed with time, like a beautiful artifact.

"Shoot!" Charlotte yelled.

Standing in the distance behind Charlotte, Igus did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and as tongues of fire erupted from the gun, a spherical bullet swept towards the back of the boy's head.

Charlotte's head tilted slightly, and the bullet almost touched his ear, piercing through the two spherical glass bottles.

The shattered glass burst open, spreading four meters away in an instant, and the fine sand that had been contained in the bottle sprayed out and engulfed the two of them.

Violent shocks spread between the two of them, and hundreds of thunders in the air seemed to be frozen by invisible hands, unable to advance a single point.

Within this range, time seemed to stand still, and no matter how hard Wright tried, he couldn't move half a minute, let alone break free.

He could barely keep swinging his sword, and the long sword in his hand kept trembling.

As for the spherical glass bottle that was thrown out, according to Iggus's knowledge, its original function was to forcibly freeze all objects in the space, and whether it was friend or foe, it would be sealed one by one, unable to move.

Unless you have incredible strength to break free, or wait ten seconds for the effect to be automatically removed. If both bottles are used at the same time, the effect will be doubled, requiring double strength or waiting for 20 seconds before the effect is removed.

"Haha, even if you use it at this time, what can you do?" Wright, barely able to move his jaw to speak, struggled to spit out a sentence. The two spherical glass bottles all came from the treasure room, and for the ship's co-captain, Wright knew how effective it would be.

"Really?" said an indifferent, angry voice from the boy's mouth.

There was a muffled sound, and the boy who had used all his strength took the first step in this still space.

"No, it can't be!" Wright exclaimed, the sound of his heart pounding almost swallowed him.

One more step, the distance between the two was gradually narrowed by Charlotte, and Wright trembled and tried to break free from the shackles in the space.

The sound of the boy's breathing grew heavier and heavier, and each step was almost exhausting for him, but for Wright, every step was the step of death.

Eventually, the boy stood in front of Wright.

In this almost static space, Wright's combat skills did not cause any damage to Charlotte, and he could only watch him approach, watching him raise his broken straight sword.

"No, please. I can give anything ---."

Before Wright could finish his sentence, the boy stabbed him in the heart and stabbed him down.

Poof.

Blood seemed to freeze on Wright's chest.

Agus watched as Charlotte's straight sword pierced Wright's heart, and the look on the boy's face was already distorted with anger.

Three seconds later, until the moment the spatial effect disappeared, blood spurted out.
