readx;?“ Is there really no one who knows?" Catherine asked rhetorically, "I don't believe that the heroes with you, everyone just ignored your actions, maybe others might do the same, but at least Your Majesty Vral will never take her attention off you completely, she must know what you have done, I am right." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Pannis was silent, for Catherine was not wrong at all, and Vral had told him that he knew what he had done.

"You see, as soon as I saw you silent, I knew I was right. Pannis's reaction gave Catherine a satisfied smile, and the knight maiden said softly, "Your Majesty Vral knows your actions, but still retains his love for you, which means that maybe the end of the story is not as impactful as you think, and it is not enough to make us change our minds." ”

She ...... Yes, but that's because she's not in her right mind. Pannis sighed helplessly and said, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would never maintain an attitude like her." ”

"Is that really the case?" said Catherine, with a smiling expression, "If you don't say it, how can you be sure that your thoughts are right or wrong? ”

"Nothing?" said Pannis, smiling wryly, "how could it be nothing?" I had just woken up from my confusion when I saw Danakus rushing towards me at great speed. I knew that his target was my body, and I knew what to do. Before entering the world of the dead, Mina had told us how one of her kindreds dealt with the soul that wanted to take the body, so I knew that it was very likely that the other party would be severely injured by taking self-harm at the moment when the soul invaded the body, and for the occupied target, that moment was the most vulnerable moment for the soul, and it was the best chance to complete our goal, and what I should do was to prepare for everything and kill myself at the moment when he invaded the body, as Nelly did later. In fact, each of us has already realized that if the situation is really bad enough and we have to use this method, then the person who is chosen by the other party will definitely take the initiative to complete this last step. Before facing Danacus, I had simulated many times in my mind, if it was me, what time and what way I should choose to carry out the last step, I think not only me, but every one of us has simulated this, because only in this way, we will not fail because of the suddenness and unpreparedness, after all, this kind of thing only has one chance, once it fails, no one can bear the consequences. ”

"Yes, if it were me, I would have thought the same thing. Catherine pondered for a moment in the position of the heroes of the year, nodded and said: "It is not easy to choose death by yourself, and it is difficult to respond in the first place if you are not mentally prepared in advance." ”

"It's hard for you to believe that it was the first time I had faced an irresistible death up close. Pannis sighed and said faintly: "I have experienced countless battles before, and I have faced countless life dangers, but I have never faced a mortal situation, every danger is actually within a controllable range, and can be resolved with strength and will, although those experiences are dangerous, only I know that as long as I do my best, I can live and not really die." So, I never knew what it was like to watch death approach, I always thought I was mentally prepared for death, but it turned out that it was actually just an illusion, I was not prepared at all, I had no idea how terrible it was to come. ”

"No wonder. Vivien suddenly came to her senses and whispered, "When we first met, you used to laugh at the security measures set up by the Adventurers' Guild at the surface entrance of the Weeping Cave, no wonder you kept emphasizing at that time that it was impossible to grow into a qualified adventurer without really facing the test of life and death." I've always wondered why you have this attitude, but now I finally understand. ”

"Only by struggling from a mortal situation can a person's heart become strong, I thought I did, but in fact it was just a misunderstanding. Pannis said self-deprecatingly: "Moreover, I have endured the erosion of divine punishment for a long time before, and I have just experienced countless death experiences, and I know too well the pain and horror of the death process, and it can even be said that this pain and horror have been infinitely expanded in my consciousness, so big that I have completely occupied the entire spiritual world." I must admit that at that moment, I was already scared, although the previous experience of death was real, but I could emphasize to myself in my consciousness that it was fake, so I could support it, but this time it was real, and I was completely panicked at the thought of the terrible feeling I was going to endure, I was not even sure what I was thinking in my heart at the time, and all I can remember now is that there is only a blank in my mind. ”

"So you're hesitating?" Catherine sighed and said, "Maybe it's not fear, it's just a momentary panic caused by a panic, it's normal for people who haven't really faced death to behave like this." ”

"Hesitation, hehe, do you think it's just hesitation?" Pannis's smile was full of ridicule: "I didn't just hesitate, my first reaction at that time was to take a step back. ”

Catherine froze, and opened her face, but she couldn't make a sound, as if she hadn't fully understood what Pannis's words meant.

"Do you remember that? Hehe, Nelly was standing next to me. Originally, she was standing close to me, but now she leaned over to give me a shoulder to lean on, and she was always there for me to encourage me, to cheer me up, to make me believe in myself again, to let me know that I was a hero. Pannis's voice was filled with contempt: "Hero, hehe, what a hero, taking a step back is equivalent to exposing Nelly to the spirit of Danakus, or rather, it is equivalent to hiding behind her back and letting her face death in my place." It's ironic, isn't it? I had just begun to believe in myself again, to regain my strength, when the truth pierced my appearance, made me see my own meanness and cowardice, and finally made me understand what kind of hero I was. ”

The girls all fell silent, and at this moment, they finally understood the reason for Pannis's long-term pain and remorse, in fact, when facing the danger of life, it is often the instinctive reaction of creatures to retreat and dodge, but a small instinctive reaction, which happened at the wrong time and in the wrong place, caused irreparable consequences.
