Chapter Eighty-Five: Catherine Who Can't Decide

Catherine was in such a difficult situation, since the day she was born, she had not encountered such a difficult choice. On one side is Vivian, who treats herself like a sister, and on the other hand, there is the relatively innocent Eva, no matter which side she chooses, the other side will fall into despair. For a moment, Catherine even felt a little dizzy, and really wanted to take the opportunity to faint and escape from this scene where she had to make a choice.

Unfortunately, in the face of challenges, knights can never escape it, even if it is difficult, they must face it head-on. So Catherine could only stand in place, her fists clenched tightly, her lips turned white from her own bite, her body trembling slightly, but her eyes were full of confusion. She didn't look back, she didn't ask her peers for help, she knew in her heart that no matter what decision she made, her companions would support her, or in other words, the only one who really struggled was herself. Freya doesn't need to ask at all, she will definitely choose to sacrifice Eva to save Vivien, Lina may hesitate, but although she is a believer in the God of Love, she is kind and kind in her heart, and she will feel pain at the expense of the innocent, but it is only pain, she does not have a moral cleanliness like Catherine, so in front of innocents and relatives, Lina will unconsciously lean to the side of relatives, as for Pannis...... Catherine couldn't help but sneak a glance at Pannis, his expression was very strange, his eyes seemed to be looking at Catherine, but it seemed to penetrate Catherine's face, looking into the unknown distance, there seemed to be anticipation in his expression, but there was more than expectation.

"What should I do?" Catherine silently asked herself in her heart: "If it were Lord Nelly, what would she do? A real knight, when faced with such a dilemma, what choice should he make? Other gains and losses can be put aside, and there is no need to think about it at all, but now on the scale in front of him, there is a life on one side, how to choose, should he let family and friendship interfere with his judgment?"

"Is it hard to make a choice? Sigurn played with the ivory comb as white as jade, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Then I'll add another weight to you, if this little girl's body continues to develop like this, it will completely collapse in three hundred days at most, and it will be too late to regret it then." ”

"You're talking too much. Vivian suddenly spoke, faintly furrowed with blue eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly: "Since you said that you will leave the choice to us, please wait patiently for the eldest sister to make a decision, there is no need to use words to put pressure on the eldest sister, your pressure like this will only make us more inclined to Aiwa." ”

"No, no, no, there's something wrong with what you said. Sigurn didn't care about Vivien's threat at all, and seemed to be 100% sure of the final outcome, and said with a relaxed face: "Since you are allowed to choose, it is natural that I should tell you the pros and cons of all choices, so that it is fair." If I don't make it clear, will you blame me for hiding it?"

"Who are you going to take revenge on?" Lina's usual curiosity and liveliness were all put away, and she asked in a low voice as calm and serious as a true priest, "Are you the object of your revenge, are all the gods?"

"Of course not, why do you think that?" Sigourne's surprise was not at all disguised, and he asked Lina rhetorically, "It's war, Denya's priest, isn't it normal to be injured and killed in war?

"Isn't it?" Lina was also stunned and asked, "Then who is the object of revenge in your mouth?"

"Naturally, it was those who betrayed. Sigourn's smile was kind, his white teeth peeking out of his red lips, and his expression was seductive, but it gave people the feeling of facing a hungry and crazy bloodthirsty beast: "The casualties of war are one thing, betrayal and deception are another, we have no hatred for the victors of the war, and death is also the psychological preparation we have made when we provoked the war, but we can only accept betrayal, we vow to take revenge on those betrayers." Of course, those betrayed gods are also very aware of our character, and of course they will not let us go, hehehehe, so it depends on who can kill each other earlier. ”

"You resent the betrayer, I can understand that. Catherine temporarily broke free from the quagmire of choice and tried to use words to disintegrate her opponent: "But what is the difference between your subsequent actions and those of the betrayers you hate? the same temptation to go to war against the gods, the same led to the destruction of almost all of their people, do you now want to take revenge on the gods who betrayed you, have you thought about it, what if the goblins also want to take revenge on you? Just like Eva did, how should you deal with it?"

"Hehehe, I know what you're thinking, but I'm sorry that I don't behave like the betrayers. Sigurn smiled coquettishly and said happily: "When I bewitched them, none of them were false, I didn't give them any wrong information, if they continue to develop like this, they can really get rid of their own fragility, gain the powerful body and strength of the Three-Eyed Clan, and obtain the eternal life of the Three-Eyed Clan, all of this is true, but it has a great risk." However, they are well aware of these risks, but they are too confident that it leads to the final outcome. And the most important point, I didn't betray them, I didn't even leave this research center, I stood with them until the end, but they relied too much on their crystal technology and neglected to strengthen their soul power, so they couldn't go down with me. So, I don't feel any guilt about the goblins' end, and the goblins don't have any reason to take revenge on me. If you don't believe me, ask Eva, who gave her an order for revenge? She was only given the right to take revenge on me, that is, the goblins themselves did not think that they should take revenge on me, otherwise the order would not be like this. As for our 10,000-year entanglement, it's not so much that she wants to avenge the goblins, but that she still wants to maintain her consciousness and freedom, and she doesn't want to change back into the control center that can only execute orders and logical judgments, right, little Eva?"

"Yes. Eva was silent for a while, and said in a straight voice: "I don't want to die, I'm actually already alone, I want to continue to live." I haven't even looked at the normal world, and I want to see the world with my own eyes. I wanted to see those animals with my own eyes, to see the intelligent creatures of the Quaternary with my own eyes, and not to perceive through those cold devices. ”

"You...... Never been out before?" Vivien asked in a low voice, "I've been imprisoned in this artificial world for 10,000 years?"

"Yes, never. Eva said: "In the past, I could also communicate with other control centers that were still active in the outside world through the crystal energy network, although those control centers did not have their own will, but they could also have simple conversations and responses, but since the spatial change, those control centers have fallen silent one by one, and I have lost the object of communication with the outside world." ”

"Hehe, I still use the projection to go out and chat with her a lot. Sigurn chuckled, "Otherwise, this newborn little guy would have been crazy and self-destructed, after all, she is no longer the unconscious mechanical life, and she will feel lonely, can you deny it?"

"Are you really talking to her for her?" Freya sneered and asked rhetorically, "Loneliness drives her crazy, doesn't it make you crazy too?"

"Do you think that a person who has wandered alone in the void for more than 100,000 years will go crazy because of the loneliness of just 10,000 years?" Sigon said with a smile on his cheeks: "Do you know what kind of place the void is? dark, desolate, silent, no food, no water, no sound, no air, and no people, it is hell, compared to there, this is simply paradise. ”

"Is there anything else you'd like to say, Eva?" asked Catherine, "as Sigurne just said, since we have to make a choice, we should put all the pros and cons in front of us, so that it is fair, both for you and for us. ”

"There's nothing left. Eva actually sighed faintly, as if she was desperate: "I know that this bet I made with her is too small for me to win, she has too many things to give you, but I can't give you anything." Originally, I should have waited a little longer to make a bet, but for me, you are already the best candidate I can find in the past 10,000 years, and logical judgment tells me that the chance of finding a better candidate is almost negligible, so I accepted you into this place. If I still lose in the end, it can't be helped, you choose, whatever you choose, I will not object, and I will not blame you. It's just a pity, since that coincidental meeting of you, I actually went against my own logic to fantasize that I was also by your side, and experienced those scenes with you, but unfortunately, maybe the fantasy can't become real. ”

Catherine sighed deeply, she knew that she had to make a choice, no matter how much she resisted in her heart, there was no time to hesitate, between feelings and beliefs, could she really only choose one of them? Perhaps, this is the test of fate.

Catherine's heart was full of contradictions, and the fierce mental struggle made her sweat soak her spine, and just as she raised her head again, her lips trembled and wanted to say when, a violent wave of offensive magic burst out of Vivien's body without warning, and the intensity of the magic fluctuation was unprecedented, almost reaching the peak of a legend.
