Chapter 5: The Devil's Agent
Hearing the words of the inferior, Russell's first thought in his heart was:
Case......
"Little Glass" ...... In other words, what is the original wish of the "Blue Song Robin"?
Is it just a "clean death"?
- Nope.
No way.
Russell frowned and made a profile of Xiao Liuli.
Her real desire was certainly not this.
Because in that case, she wouldn't have to wait for Russell at all, and she would disappear quietly - if she really wanted to die wholeheartedly, she wouldn't ask for other people's opinions at all, and she wouldn't wait for others to rescue her.
As the "caged bird" said, she didn't want to die. She just didn't want to live anymore.
But in the gap between "wanting to die" and "not wanting to live", there is not nothing...... It wasn't even a thin, invisible slit.
It's a blurred line that even Xiao Liuli himself doesn't know how wide it is and where the boundary is.
It may be just walking aimlessly on the street, seeing the light of the slanting sun, hearing the sound of the rain, or receiving a certain phone call, and suddenly crossing that line and wanting to die; Or maybe you just feel that the weather is really nice today, and because you have new clothes that you want to wear every other season, you want to stop trying to live for a while and leave the boundary from the other side.
In this boundary, she may live for a long time. It may even live until she is "disposed of".
How could such an ambiguous thing be her original wish?
This is just a compromise to "settle for the second".
It is the demon of the "caged bird", and judging his true desires will inevitably lead to inevitable tragedy before his last reason is burned out.
That's why she chose to kill herself.
The human heart is complex.
On the one hand, Xiao Liuli hopes that "none of this has happened", and she is still living peacefully with Morgan; But on the other hand, she didn't dare to meet Morgan and face all this.
After she became "Little Liuli", she never touched Morgan until the end.
The price of her being turned into "Little Glass" by the "Curtain of Ignorance" is to let Morgan undergo surgery - can the "Curtain of Ignorance" still not know who Morgan is?
- No matter how you think about it, you know, this is impossible.
Her so-called "secrecy" is nothing more than self-deception.
After that, Xiao Liuli never really came into contact with Morgan. Otherwise, even if she had close contact with the other party once, she could easily realize that Morgan had already fallen into the quagmire - the existence of "Little Liuli" had no meaning of secrecy at all.
So, it's just a subconscious escape.
She couldn't accept the fact that she had become Xiao Liuli...... Deliberately no longer use the previous habits of speech and behavior, no longer eat the food that he was used to, and no longer drink his favorite iced coke, just to deliberately distinguish between "Blue Song Robin" and "Little Liuli".
It's like the conversation he once had with Morgan when he was sitting on a swing.
The Blue Song Robin has always been a passive party, a party that is not decisive enough, and a party that is not firm enough.
- Compared to Morgan's firm and calm love, he was too easily shaken.
Even if he sinks into the darkness, it is shallower than Morgan, who is protected by himself.
So, if you didn't kill the demon of the "caged bird" at the first time because of mercy at that time, but let it develop......
β¦β¦ What will it do in the end?
Russell shuddered.
He didn't dare to think about it.
Just imagining it will directly shatter the image of "Little Glass" in Russell's memory.
ββ¦β¦ I think it's better than catching demons and killing them. β
Russell couldn't help but say, "That may be a relief." β
Unexpectedly, the inferior nodded: "I think so too." β
ββ¦β¦ Huh? β
"So, if it's too bad a demon, I'll send them here.
"Demons and humans are different...... For demons, there is no idea that "it is better to live than to die", but "if I can't do something, I'd rather die."
"This empty, never-ending cycle of life, the insatiable but ever-expanding desires, is undoubtedly a stronger punishment than death for the demon who is 'only interested in one thing.'"
Russell's eyes widened, and he looked sideways at the inferior.
β¦β¦ Did he already know?
I see.
That's why he's willing to capture the demons...... It's not for the production of chips, it's not for the orders of the board of directors, it's not for performance bonuses.
It was because of the anger in his heart.
The blazing fire of anger makes the inferior think that "death is mercy to the devil".
β¦β¦ So, when he killed the demon of the "caged bird", he instead warned himself to "don't be too naΓ―ve"?
Because in the perception of the inferior, the matter of "killing the demon directly" is a kind of grace......
ββ¦β¦ Where the hell are we going? β
Russell couldn't help but say, "It's all gone so far." β
They had come and gone, and had already made six or seven turns in the huge villa.
"Go sign for 'Winter' and renew the time."
"Duration?"
"It's our old minister."
The inferior said calmly.
Hearing this, Russell subconsciously raised his head and carefully confirmed the expression of the inferior.
He was relieved to notice that he didn't have any anger or hatred.
ββ¦β¦ What time does it last? β
Russell asked quietly.
This is afraid of the inferior...... The main thing is that he thinks that it would be rude to ask what it means to "give the demons time" in the middle of a group of demons.
Even if the inferior repeatedly insisted that these demons were not human, Russell did feel that they deserved and deserved to be punished here.
Even so, Russell did not want to abandon etiquette because of thisβthe so-called "etiquette" is not for others to see, after all.
The inferior has a different attitude.
He didn't even lighten his voice, but explained to Russell leisurely in a voice that could be easily heard by the demons passing by:
"Let's put it this way, Ultramarine. Those of us who capture demons are the watchmen of these demons.
"They are alive for a while because we recognize and vouch for the fact that these demons are controllable and that their psionic powers are useful. If we die, the contract we signed will be transferred to another person in the Special Enforcement Department.
"If we don't come back for a while to sign, or refuse to sign to prolong the time, certain demons will be put to death when time runs out...... After all, demons are not human, and it doesn't matter if they are killed.
"However, the head office cannot directly establish a statute that declares 'under what circumstances a person can be killed'. This is a direct violation of the dragon's authority, and will immediately anger the dragon.
"In fact, they extended the moment when the 'agent' killed the demon to the 'time that the agent saw fit'. A very boring way of thinking about exploiting loopholes. But the dragon agrees with this strange logic, so it deals with it. β
When the inferior said this, he showed a mocking smile: "Who do you think is the 'agent'?" Parent company? Board of directors?
"βThese are the demons we represent. We are agents of the devil. β
