Chapter 17: Hugging

"I, am I really wrong?" after this, Evan thought about the Night Stalker's words, "Did I really ruin their future?"

"No, I'm not wrong!" Ave's eyes became extremely determined when he thought of the cells, and the children who would rather wander the streets than accept the arrangements of the night owls. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Search for all valuable materials and information. After giving an order to the five humanoid black spirits, Evan found a place to sit down, even if the absorption of energy made him not physically damaged, his spirit was still very tired.

"I have a proposal. The black book, who had been silent during the battle, suddenly spoke.

"Say it. Evan closed his eyes and took a break.

"Please give me that potion of strengthening. ”

"What do you want to do?" asked Evan directly. "I don't think you'll do anything good with it. ”

"What if I say, I can develop an antidote?"

"Can you make a potion?" said Aven, opening his eyes in surprise.

"If only you could open the next door and give me the materials. ”

"But your real purpose isn't to develop an antidote, right?" he didn't think this book would be so kind, if there was only one monster in this world who hated humans, it would be this book.

"How you use the medicine you produce depends on your decision. ”

Hearing this, Evan pondered, this book is dangerous, it usually says something that hides part of the truth or is misleading, but until now, Evan has not found out that it has told a lie.

"Okay. After thinking for a moment, Evan came up with his own answer.

"I obey your orders. "When the purpose is accomplished, the sound of the book disappears.

"It's over. As he spoke, Eve's figure appeared in front of him out of thin air, "As I promised, now, you are free." ”

Hearing his words, the girl lowered her head thoughtfully.

Evan stood up, slipped a bag of gold coins into Eve's hand, and walked out. Eve followed him.

"What else is the matter with you?" Evan looked at Eve quizzically, "I told you that you're free. ”

"First of all, it's the only way out, and secondly, I'm more familiar with the place and should be able to help you in any way. The girl stopped in front of him and looked at him playfully.

"Whatever you like. Evan found that this girl was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and how could someone who could escape from such a place with a group of children be easy to deal with.

"Can you tell me your name? The girl quickened her pace and chased after Evan.

"Ryan. Evan replied casually.

"I mean the real name. The girl turned her head sideways and stared straight at Aven.

"You don't need to know. ”

The girl stopped talking, still staring at the side of Aven's face.

"Aven, is it okay?" Finally, he was defeated by her momentum.

"Hmmm!" the girl smiled, and she ran up to Evan and spun around cheerfully and lightly, "May I go to that beautiful garden again?"

"That's not the right place for the living. Evan knew how dangerous the path he was going to take, so he tried to distance himself from everyone and keep them from getting involved in his life.

"Stingy. The girl followed him angrily.

"Is this her true character? Evan had a headache.

The cells opened one by one, and different slaves walked out of them, but Evan found that most of the people had confusion on their faces.

"You're free. Evan told them that there were only a few people who showed joy on their faces, and once again Evan felt that it might really be a mistake to kill the night stalker himself.

"They just don't get used to freedom, and after a while they'll be fine. Eve guessed what Evan was thinking.

"I hope so. "Anyway, the night stalkers are dead, and their fate has changed forever.

Evan stood in front of the final cell door, hesitating whether to open it.

"What's wrong?" Eve hadn't been here at all, she didn't know what was inside.

In the end, he opened the door.

The boy was curled up on the ground in the bloodstained cell, but as soon as the door opened, he howled and slammed into the door, and with its sharp claws, desperately clawed at the prey he would never be able to catch.

Eve didn't scream or retreat, but her pale face unconsciously grabbed Aven's shirt.

"How long will it take to make the antidote you mentioned?" thought to Evan.

"I don't know. The book replied immediately.

"Don't know?" said Aven frowned.

"First, the door hasn't been opened yet, second, I don't know how long it will take to analyze the potion, and third, even if the first two points have been completed, you may not be able to provide the necessary raw materials, so I can't give you a definite answer, but what I can tell you is that, judging from the time, you can't save this boy anyway. ”

Evan closed his eyes and thought about what to do next.

"You just have to kill him, it's a nice energy. "Book proposed.

"What did you say?" anger struck Evan at once, "He's an innocent child!"

"What do you want?" the book laughed, "if you don't kill him, there will only be two consequences, first, he will escape from the cage and attack other innocent people, and those people's deaths will be attributed to your hypocrisy." Second, he would starve to death here, a long pain that would be far more than a simple blow. ”

Aven's expression shifted, and he tried to take the boy into the inner world, but the boy resisted him.

Eve took in his expression.

Evan finally made a decision, "I'm sorry. He said softly, taking the boy's hand out of the cage, and the boy screamed with joy at first, and then the next moment the scream turned into a howl, leaving only a puddle of ashes where the boy was.

"That's it, my master. ”

Amid the Black Book's praise, Evan punched the cage, and for the first time, he killed an innocent person.

"Sure enough, you are a kind person. The little girl, from behind Aven, gently hugged him.

"Kind people, me?" said Evan smirked self-deprecatingly. "I have killed so many people, can I still be called kind?"

"If you're not kind, why did you shed tears when you killed that child?" the girl's fingertips ran across his cheek, and on it, there was a drop of crystal water.

"I ......" stared into his tears, he didn't know what to say.

The girl lifted her toes and hugged him, "If you want to cry, cry." ”

Aiwen's face slowly softened, but he still gently pushed the girl away, "What is worth crying about does not exist." With that, he dodged the girl's gaze and walked out.

"Strong. She gave him a worried look and followed him.
