Chapter 37: Choice

For that chance, Renard did all the things that the Book of Death said before, but no more hints were gone. The www.biquge.info Book of Death had helped him so much during this time that he decided to try to solve these things himself.

So, for the next period of time, Renard became very busy. He spent three nights killing a lot of small animals, all of them made zombies, including all kinds of birds, some mice, if it weren't for the fact that the hearing organs of spiders and flying insects are too different from humans to translate any auditory signals, Renard would definitely not even let go of small insects. He did these zombies to keep at least daily daylight surveillance of Layton Green, Kimmz Green, and Green's house.

Although the Critter Zombies with strong traces of magic were not allowed to enter Grimm's house and magically protected places, such as the families of some of the other nobles that Leighton Green occasionally went out to visit, or some of their meeting places, Renard found a lot more. For example, in the past few days, the half-hour exercise that Layton Green did after waking up at half past six every day has begun to become intermittent, and Layton Green has also reduced the time he spends learning spells every day, and he didn't even send anyone to warn him if he was hung up and beaten for an hour after being hung up for two crimes. He went to the inn more and more, the best inn in the kingdom has always been without magic protection, and Renard couldn't see what he did in the inn, which made Renard a little regretful.

When Reynard began to think about whether or not to use more radical methods to get the answers he wanted, Renard finally got a little bit of a turnaround, which he saw when he returned to his Maple Tavern on vacation to look at the engrams. At that time, a soldier was already drunk, and they had been talking about the topic that never stopped, neither in this world nor on the earth where Renard lived before Renard: "Why are some people who are obviously stupider than us, but still have a higher status than us, and more money than us?"

Renard would not normally be interested in such a boring and meaningless conversation, and this time the soldier mentions the Grimm family. The soldier's speech was a little slurred at this time, and the wine glass full of ale wine in one of his hands was a little unstable, but he still insisted on shouting loudly: "Who said that those nobles are better than Lao Tzu? Haha, Layton, the guy who has been fascinated by the little ladies outside these days, can't wait to stay until one o'clock every day before coming back, and the bodyguard sent to him by his father is called Sha What, it seems to be called Sha Wujing or who, he gets angry after saying a few words, and often gives Sha Wujing away when he has nothing to do, haha, I heard that now he wants to bring those little ladies back as lovers! This is the earl's house, it's not stupid to take people in so rashly?"

His companion asked in surprise, "How do you know?" The soldier was obviously drunk, and his answer was intermittent: "I, cousin, in the Green family, the current people, their butler ...... these days" The voice behind him began to become indistinct, and his drunk companion did not continue to ask.

Renard closed the crystal, and he fell into deep thought. The voice of the Book of Death sounded in his heart: "Boy, what are your plans?" Reynard replied: "What can you do?" Now I can determine a general direction, I don't even know how to act, I have to strengthen my listening to see if I can get some real action." The Grim Reaper's voice became a little cold: "Boy, you're thinking too much, this isn't Earth!" Renard asked, "What do you say?"

The Book of Death replied, "Something obvious. Now that their butler has said something that can be heard by everyone, can you just arrest his cousin and ask him clearly?" Renard frowned: "If I succeed in killing, the kingdom will definitely use magic to trace the traces, and it will be easy to follow the vine to his cousin, even if you use spells to help me cover up, I'm afraid you will be asked by interrogation, right?" The Book of Death snorted: "This is where you can't do it, boy, ask for information, can't you just kill him?" I'll keep an eye on his spirit, and I'll know right away if he's lying!"

Renard was silent for a few seconds: "He is innocent. If I kill innocents like this for something insignificant, wouldn't I be the same person as Layton Green?" The Grim Reaper's voice became even higher: "You're innocent too, boy, what is it that makes you have to face such a choice?" Renard said directly: "You seem to want to trick me." The Book of Death's voice came back, "I'm not going to do such a boring thing with my spells, little one. I'm just pulling some questions you don't want to think about in front of you and forcing you to face them. The owner of this inn was called Acton, right, according to the laws of your previous life's country, China, how should he be judged? Can you tell me?"

When Renard spoke again, his voice was already a little empty: "After cooperating with the police's questioning and providing information, you are not guilty." The Book of Death pressed closely: "And how do you do that?" Renard did not answer. The Book of Death's tone softened a bit: "You have all your memories on Earth, which is an advantage and a disadvantage. It's not the same world anymore, Renard. Your insistence on the moral bottom line in your heart now is meaningless in this world. No one thinks that you killed Acton wrong before, if all your things are spread out, and you are soft-hearted because of this reason, resulting in not killing the people of the Green family in the end, and being killed by the people of the Green family, everyone's evaluation of you will not be much better than that of the earthlings to Song Xianggong. ”

Renard was silent for a long time this time, and his throat was a little dry when he spoke again: "But, I ......" The Book of Death directly interrupted him: "Don't say it, I don't need this answer." "Huh?" Reynard asked, confused, and the Book of Death said, "It's your business, Renard Carmel, not mine." This choice should have been made by you as well, and it has nothing to do with me, so you don't need to tell me this answer. Even if you forgive the Greens directly, I don't have a problem with being the kind of Virgin Mary in the doctrine of the God of Truth. Renard couldn't help but exclaim, "How is that possible?"

The Book of Death didn't continue to answer, it directly passed a spell array diagram over: "Well, this is a spell that I have newly researched. This spell is based on the name in the book you read in your previous life, it is called Drill Heart Piercing Bone, and the effect is similar, under the effect of this spell, no one can keep the secret. I gave you the means directly, how to use it to do it. ”

Then the Book of Death fell silent, and Renard stood in front of the window of his office on the second floor of the tavern, looking at the bright moon outside the window, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart like never before.

Now, it's close to the Mid-Autumn Festival on Earth...... Relatives and friends on the earth, I wonder if they are okay...... I didn't protect my relatives and friends who live here, and now I ...... Renard suddenly felt as if tears were pouring out of his eyes, and his heart flashed with the smiling faces of Idic Karen and Bonnie: "Mom and Dad, do you think I should bring the same pain to others for your sake?"

Note 1: In 638 BC, the Song and Chu fought in Hongshui, when the Chu soldiers were strong, the great Sima Ziyu persuaded Xianggong to intercept and kill the Chu people when they crossed the water, but at this time Xianggong talked about "benevolence and righteousness", and he would wait for the Chu soldiers to cross the river and line up to attack them; when the Chu army came ashore, Ziyu persuaded Song Xianggong to attack and kill the Chu army when the array had not yet formed, and Xianggong refused again. As a result, the Song division was defeated, Xianggong was shot in the thigh, and died of serious injuries the following year, and his son Song Chenggong succeeded to the throne.

Note 2: The Bone Gouging Spell is a very evil dark magic spell ("crucio" in English) that appears in the Harry Potter novels. The person who is hit by the Drill Heart Curse will feel a piercing pain all over the body, and the pain of the Drill Heart will make the caster miserable, and if the spell is constantly cast, the victim will go crazy in pain and even die.
