Chapter 268: Brothers and Sisters
A dark shadow moved rapidly across the ground, and when it was far enough away from the camp, an emaciated figure leaped out of it.
Vincent patted the dust on his body, in fact, he didn't like this way of going out and exiting at all, it was a very painful thing to turn into a shriveled black shadow and walk underground, especially the underground air was very turbid, but this mysterious way of moving could make others more afraid of him, which was also a necessary professionalism as a black mage.
Then he conjured the funny mage hat and put it on his head, and hummed a cheerful tune and headed north, now it was time to accept his payment.
But as soon as he took the first step, he stopped, and a person who wasn't supposed to appear appeared around him.
"Come out, Romy. ”
Vincent's eyes began to narrow, this was his habit before killing, and this time he really moved to kill.
After a while, an old, eclectic body stepped out of the forest, and with this little starlight, Romon's weather-beaten face appeared in the darkness.
If Stannis was here, he would definitely have to vomit the old man's facial features almost together, and the already good-looking bachelor became even more spicy, which really affected his appetite. But only Vincent knew that his expression had only been seen when he had lost Cortana, a pain that could only be revealed when his heart was bleeding.
"Vince ......"
Romon did not speak again, for words were pale and meaningless to the present situation, and all the facts indicated that Vincent was the one who betrayed them, or that he appeared to lure them to this point, with the ultimate goal of leaving Stannis alone to die.
"Old classmate, when did you start to doubt me?" Even though his true face was revealed on the spot, Vincent didn't care at all, he still smiled and said soothingly between old friends.
"I've been skeptical since you appeared, why would you, who have always been indifferent to the life and death of the world, suddenly be so enthusiastic about that divine seal?"
"I said that by destroying the Divine Seal, I could gain its power to avenge Cortana!"
"Is that really the case?" Romon shook his head, "I'm too familiar with you, Vincent, but you'll take whatever power you can get, and you'll never borrow someone else's hand to make it so complicated, not to mention that Dead Space doesn't exist at all." ”
Vincent's eyelids twitched, and the guy knew it all.
"From the moment you said that Dead Space was only passed by Stannis, it was strange to me, because I had never heard of such a strange barrier, and Mr. Tegliggs had never mentioned it. So I sent my granddaughter back to the school overnight, rummaging through all the books on dark knowledge in the library, looking up any information about the Divine Seal, and finally found a message in a broken manuscript: although a barrier will rise around the Divine Seal when it feels dangerous, it can only disturb the intruder's mind, and cannot cause substantial physical harm. I've been sure since then that you've been deceiving us, and you've planned the whole thing from the beginning for some dirty secret. ”
"I'd love to hear about my plans. Vincent made a gesture of please, motioning for him to continue.
"First of all, after you got the news that Stannis was infected by the divine seal here and didn't lose yourself, you deduced that we would definitely go to the school city to find answers, so you waited there early for us to appear. Then, as we begin to look through the information, pick an opportune time to show up and tell us the knowledge of the Divine Seal that you have concocted, so that we will not hesitate to believe in the message you have brought, and will prevent us from continuing to seek. Then, you proposed to form an army with only Stannis alone to get close to the Divine Seal, and join us in the battle, just to better monitor us by the Suspicious Array, I think the soul clone you cast in the barracks before is also fake, it is just an ordinary illusion clone, all of this is just a trick, and the real purpose in the end is to let Stannis appear in front of the Divine Seal alone without being disturbed, so as to be captured by it and become a container for its rebirth. ”
"Smack" "Smack"
Sparse applause rang out from the darkness, and Vincent clapped with a smile.
"Perfect reasoning, my old classmate, I really can't hide any secrets in front of you. ”
But Romon didn't finish speaking, he just raised his head, although he didn't cry, but his heart had already cried blood again.
"Why, Vince, you already have enough power to be the envy of the world, why are you fooling us, and let so many people die for your lies!"
Vince laughed, his laughter full of disdain and disdain, "Except for you, I don't care about the lives of those ants, even if they die!"
"But you ......"
The black mage interrupted his former siblings and said resolutely: "Romy, your reasoning just now can be said to be perfect, but except for one point, I did not come up with this plan for some ulterior secret, and from the beginning, I told you the real purpose. ”
"Revenge ......"
"Yes! Revenge, since Cortana died in order to save us from being pierced through the chest by the abyss master, the meaning of all my life is to take revenge! I gave up all the light and went crazy killing in the name of the 'Mad Hatter', just to find the power that could destroy the master, but the power of humanity is too weak, those so-called heroes who have been famous for a long time can't even survive a second in front of me, I start to despair! I start to go crazy! I can't live a second in a world without Cortana, only revenge sustains me!"
"You're completely insane!" said Romon about him.
"I'm crazy, but you know that when you're crazy, you can hear a lot of sounds that you can't hear when you're awake, like the call of the Divine Seal. ”
Vincent began to cut to the chase, and Romon on the other side also secretly clenched his cane.
"As soon as I heard the call of this Divine Seal, I set out to find this mysterious city, a huge cemetery, and the Divine Seal buried in it. ”
"It knew what my heart longed for, and showed me the dark power of horror to despair, which I had always wanted! Trapped in the obelisk, it promised me that it would give me this power as soon as it could find its perfect body and walk freely on the earth, and I agreed without hesitation, and then began my plan. ”
