At first glance, it sounds cruel to the point of being irrational.

But when you think about it, there doesn't seem to be a problem - most of those demons have killed some people. There are also a few demons that have wreaked havoc.

Even according to the "First Consensus", which no one cares about today, they can already be punished with expulsion...... That is, to be banished from the empty island to a land full of radiation and curses.

Although no one knows exactly how they will eventually die. But it must also be a process full of pain and wailing.

Maybe it's melting in the struggle, or maybe it's the body gradually becoming weak and the flesh withering day by day.

Anyway, no one has ever returned to Sky Island from the ground, and no one has ever sent any news back. It can also be directly understood that they were excluded from the empty island - it was a kind of death without even a tombstone or a corpse. The paradise bird subconsciously glanced up at the Delphinch's expression.

The delphinium pursed her lips, her teeth making visible marks on her lower lip. It's just about to bite it out and bleed.

But she remained silent.

Personally, she didn't want that. While the demons were just remnants, at least most of them still had human skin.

- There are her teachers, her seniors, her colleagues, her juniors.

Theoretically, the Special Operations Department cannot be retired. They don't have psionic locks on their chips, which means they only need one intense emotional outburst to risk falling - and the work of the Special Operations requires them to have the highest possible psionic level.

In this way, it is possible for them to confront the demons who also have sixth-level spiritual abilities and treacherous and changeable personal abilities.

There are only two ends for them - either they lose control and become demons, or they die.

Before winter comes, the main reason for "leaving" is usually war death. It's not that they don't get out of control easily, but that they release themselves on their own initiative, usually when they can't fight powerful demons. They have witnessed the chaos that demons can bring, so they will not let themselves live "out of control" but will die with them.

Winter has the same reason for becoming a minister as Delphinium. This is because healing psionic powers are extremely rare and useful...... This usually means that they are gentle and responsible, and it is convenient for them to take the initiative to make psionic chips for others.

After becoming a minister in the winter, the mortality rate in the Special Operations Department dropped dramatically. Instead, the probability of losing control began to gradually increase. But that's mainly because the special executive has survived longer, and there is more possibility of getting out of control.

And when the delphinch came, the probability of the special execution department getting out of control suddenly increased several times-

Because of the use of delphinium chips, it has become a "regular tactic" - there are at least two dozen psykers who have been saved by her psionic energy on the verge of losing control.

But if this time is pushed back in time, then the only survivors in the end are the inferior and Russell.

- Almost all of the others are out of control and have fallen into demons.

Strength is not enough in any case. I tried the "unconventional force" once, and I couldn't stop after that. That's why when the inferior first introduced Russell to Delphinium's psionic powers, her reaction was so fierce.

Of course, this can also be explained from another point of view - it is because of the help of the delphinium that they do not die or fall in the face of danger. They relied on the delphinium to continue their lives and become demons and prisoners of the Heavenly Grace Group, providing a steady stream of psionic chips to the company.

Like a two-legged sheep that provides wool and is kept in captivity.

In fact, Delphinium thought in her heart that even if she degenerated into a demon, it was better than death.

It's a selfish idea.

For most of the people involved, death is no different from depravity.

Their original personalities have been extinguished, they are counted dead in society, and their relatives will never see them again - at that time, the devil was forever in the news

It is "annihilation".

It is known that demons are actually imprisoned alive, but only a very small number of them. However, for the delphinium, this is actually different.

Because she has the permission, she can call up the monitoring of the reengineering agency at any time, and look at the faces of her former friends again. You can also send them a remote call or video to listen to them and chat with their friends. Every day when she works at her desk, she occasionally chats with old friends.

Even if she knew in her heart that these people were actually dead, she would still want to deceive herself.

The delphinium stubbornly believed that as long as he remembered their faces and names, and assumed that they were still alive, they were not completely dead.

If the always rational delphinium has done something irrational. The secret, then, is that part of her irrationality—one might even call it willful.

Because of this, the rational countermeasure of "ordering the demon to be executed" has become an unacceptable move for Delphinium.

If Delphinium did not accept that their degeneration into demons was death, then this act would be tantamount to killing all of her friends alive; But if Delphinium calmly accepted their death, then Delphinium's previous behavior was like turning a friend into an electronic pet.

In any case, as long as those people break through the reinvention mechanism, these demons will still be killed, and more people will die on the spot in the process; But if you want to stop them firmly, you have to kill the living residents for the stupid reason of "protecting the company's property".

This puts Delphinium in a moral paradox.

- Choosing from all sides, she can't fully accept any of them.

Either way, she's fallen into the land of injustice. And if she doesn't do anything, then things will only get worse.

She knew she was struggling with something that didn't make sense. But she still couldn't make up her mind for the time being.

I'll leave it to Ah Zhan to decide."

The delphinium sighed deeply and decided to give up thinking, "Let's see what he thinks first."

But at this moment, Ignorance calmly reminded, "Minister Zhan doesn't dare to disobey you. If you leave it to him to decide, he will only look at you hesitantly.

"—Do you want to be the one who plays the ball? I don't think there are many people other than you who care about the lives and deaths of those demons. After all, they are essentially the property of the company, and those who attack the reinvention mechanism are not so much trying to free the demon as they want to cause property damage to the company."

"Ignorance..."

Although he was the one who brought up the topic, Horn's face showed a little hesitation.

He tried to tug at the cuffs of Ignorance.

But the black snake, after coiling high, spat out merciless venom: "After all, the Brokers are also an organization that gathers people as a guarantee of their personal charm. If we lose Ultramarines and Godfathers, how long will people be able to unite under the slogan of helping each other?

"Now there are quite a few people who have rebelled out with their connections. While there are still people at Brokers who genuinely work for others, they are no longer mainstream. Because no one can stand up again, raise that flag, and bring people together."

"Hey, ignorance..."

Ignoring the movement of the horn, the dark eyes of Ignorance permeated with a cold and rational color: "Lady Delphinium, I think you know what I mean. Before you and Miss Icewater can return, the Stack Minister stands up - he doesn't know anything, incompetent enough to be an empty shell. But he's still willing to take a risk for it.

"In the current situation, I think he might be better suited as a banner. Do you understand what I mean?"

"No more, I see."

Delphinium suddenly spoke and interrupted Ignorance's words, "You're right."

Ignorance closed his mouth and looked at the delphinium calmly.

After the silence, the delphinium exhaled softly, as if she had spit out something in her heart.

She spoke,

Earnestly, slowly, he said, "My love, the father of the child...... He is sacrificing himself for the sake of the world. Although it was only an illusion, I could vaguely sense that he was still alive and doing everything he could for the future.

"I still can't let go of the past for the sake of the future. But I can give up myself for the sake of something more important."

Compared to Ah Zhan, who is still very immature now, but can become a banner for people in the future, the name "Delphinch" can still play some role today. As Ignorance says, Azhan is more suitable as a banner.

It's not in favor of Ah Zhan... Because as a flag, it has to be watched and attacked by people.

Ignorance is protecting the delphinium – he wants the delphinium to see through everything and realize that she is now a fragile pregnant woman who cannot stand up at such a dangerous juncture. She should completely hand over all the power to Ah Zhan, instead of standing in the studio of the executive department and influencing his opinions like a queen mother.

This is good. Whether it's from a friend's point of view or from a colleague's point of view. However, Delphinium chose to refuse.

At the bottom of her pupils, a blue fire lit up

"If people think it's wrong in the future, then it's all my fault – the living are the most important.

"Paradise Bird, inform Ah Zhan. I'm going to take over the Special Operations Department for the time being."

"Ah...... Yes!"

The Paradise Bird answered.

A look of surprise appeared on her face.

But the order of the delphinium did not stop.

"Notify the Enforcement Department to lift the arms ban. From now on, hold on to the rebuilding mechanism for two hours at all costs."

"Then inform Peter Pan and give the order in my name. Execute all demons in two hours."

Execute demons, which means making enemies of the board; Ordering the opening of fire on civilians is an even more stigma that cannot be cleared.

But because the decision is correct and rational, from the point of view of the decision-maker, someone must eventually make it.

Although she said that it was "to see what Ah Zhan does", she actually knew that Ah Zhan would eventually give the same orders as her. She's just subconsciously evading responsibility.

- Russell protected her too well.

She almost forgot... She is not just a girl, a hero's wife, or a mother.

She is also the high-ranking psyker who has access to the Leviathan Wall, the power of the Special Enforcement Department.

Now, Delphinium chooses to pay the price for the future Ah Zhan.

She will use her words to kill the beloved and fanciful delphinium that people fantasize, kill the immature and willful old self, and kill the quiet girl who is bound by morality.

Rather than maintaining one's own innocent and loved "name", it is more important to protect the "fruit" of the people.

That's true love.

At this moment, the delphinium suddenly understood.

Those who should really take the poison called "lethal love" and pay the price should be the one who chooses the "path of love" with their own consciousness from beginning to end.

- I don't want to pay the price, how can I really love?

All she could hear was a crackling sound, and the demons that appeared behind her at some point crawled all over the cracks.

Then, with a pure white glow blooming from within—it suddenly cracked!
