Chapter 15: Raven's Memories
If the boy's roar was to stop the fight, then the woman's exclamation was the real wake-up bell. With her call, everyone's hearts were like a big bell being ringed, and their consciousness was completely awake in the "buzz"!
"IβWhat have I done?!" At the very edge of the crowd, a young man was the first to return to normal, but when he saw his blood-stained hands, he seemed to have a hard time accepting the facts in front of him, and said with wide eyes and disbelief. Then, as if he was stupid, he looked around blankly, and the scene that came into his eyes was completely as if he had experienced a huge disaster!
Suddenly, when he caught a glimpse of the corpse of a young man beside him, his eyes almost bulged out. He sat down next to the corpse in disbelief, and then, with his hands trembling with some fear, gently brushed the blood from the face of the young man's corpse, and after seeing the other party's face and making sure that he was not wrong, he instantly wailed in pain, "No, this, this is my brother, it's my brother! How could it be? How could it be?! Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? Didn't you say yes!!
He's there to protect you......!
Yasuo shook his head helplessly and silently replied in his heart. As a bystander, he naturally clearly understood the situation of the previous battle, and he clearly saw that the young man who was called "elder brother" saw that his younger brother was about to be stabbed from behind with a sword, and he desperately blocked it! The fierce sword unfortunately pierced his heart, and the "elder brother" was killed on the spot! However, the younger brother who was caught in the ** at that time did not notice the slightest inappropriateness!
Whose reason is all this?
Inexplicably, Yasuo felt that such a scene was ridiculous. Of course, he wasn't idiotic enough to laugh out loud on such an occasion......
This poignant scene was just one episode in the group, and almost at the same moment as the young man, the others began to cry bitterly.
"Father, Father, no !!"
"Wife, wife, wake up, look at me again!"
β......β
As the crying grew louder and louder, Yasuo only felt as if thousands of flies were flying in his ears, making him upset for a while. He frowned slightly, turned his head indifferently, and flew out in a random direction, not even taking the "culprit" that caused all this, the Sword of the Wind that was still on the ground.
Raven saw Yasuo's departure, and she nodded to Eluna, who was still a little dazed, and followed Yasuo's footsteps.
......
"Hehe, do you feel that I am indifferent, or do you feel that I am doing something wrong?" Sitting on the soft ground, Yasuo felt the movement behind him, and suddenly chuckled and spoke. Although he didn't look at the person behind him, from the breath of the other party, he still knew who the person who came.
Raven didn't answer him, but quietly walked over to Yasuo's side and sat down, her face still with the habitual look of confusion. Looking at the sneer on Yasuo's face that faded, she shook her head slightly.
"Actually, I'm not a cold-blooded person......" Seeing that Raven didn't speak, Yasuo smiled bitterly and looked at the hazy sky, the thick fog seemed to hide his future confusion. After a slight pause, Yasuo continued with a somewhat confused look: "I was originally just an ordinary person, and ordinary people like them will not be able to withstand all kinds of ** temptations and all kinds of blows...... I don't know why I'm in this world, and I don't know why I have all these inexplicable responsibilities, I really just want to be an ordinary person, really! Just like before, I eat and sleep every day, wake up and play games, and then eat and sleep......"
Suddenly, Yasuo seemed to think of something, and he said apologetically to Raven, "Oh, I forgot, you may not understand what I mean......"
"No!" Before Yasuo could finish speaking, Raven, who was silent, suddenly spoke, and interrupted Yasuo very rudely. Yasuo was not angry, he looked at Raven suspiciously, and he noticed that there was a trace of pain on Raven's face that had been confused. Yasuo opened his mouth, but he chose to listen to Raven continue.
Ruiwen also followed Yasuo's reminiscences, looked at the hazy sky and said, "What you did is not wrong, besides, all this has nothing to do with you! From the perspective of a superior person, everything you have done can be said to be too merciful!"
"I don't really understand what you're talking about, but I can get the general idea. Because, like you, I used to have such thoughts......"
Abruptly, Raven turned her head to look at Yasuo and asked lightly, "Do you know why Tucci said I was the executioner?"
At that time, Yasuo wanted to say what I knew, but Ruiwen didn't think about giving him a chance to speak, so after asking, she turned her head to herself, and continued: "I was originally just an ordinary girl, with parents to take care of, living an ordinary and happy life, and then growing up ordinary...... I thought that my life would be so ordinary, and if it was like that, maybe I wouldn't have met you!"
As she was talking, a hint of innocence suddenly appeared on Raven's face, and she seemed to miss that time very much. Although this smile only lasted for a moment, Yasuo, who had been looking at Raven, was still stunned, he never thought that Raven would appear like this!
Yasuo had never denied Raven's beauty, but with a happy smile, she was so thrillingly beautiful! In just that brief moment, Yasuo felt his heart beat wildly like never before, and a strong throbbing filled his whole body and mind! This was a feeling he had never felt before!
Why? Why do I feel this way? Could it be that I like her?!
Raven didn't know what Yasuo was thinking, she was still telling her story, probably the first time she had told someone about herself, and she was surprisingly engaged.
"It's a pity that all the good things I thought about left me that day. What kind of guy is that? He looks so young, but no matter who he talks to, he looks like a person from the past!"
"He said that I have a high talent for the wind system, and that I am the best candidate to follow the Wind King in the future, and he also wants me to join the army of the Empire, saying that he will definitely meet the person I am waiting for in the future!
Raven was completely immersed in her own memories, and actually made an angry little girl gesture in front of Yasuo! Unbeknownst to her, her unconscious actions had once again "electrocuted" Yasuo, making Yasuo's eyes look at her almost obsessively, so that he didn't even know what he was talking about......
"I don't know what means he used, I actually joined the imperial army as a daughter! In the training of recruits, I actually showed my outstanding martial arts talent, and I actually really understood the power of the wind system! Everything is really going according to what he said!"
"For some reason, I didn't want to follow his path, I deliberately didn't want to practice martial arts, but I couldn't help myself. The recruit's instructor discovered my talent, and he couldn't have seen my talent buried there! In that empire, talent is the most valued, especially in a situation where it is constantly at war, and the demand for talent is even greater......"
"They vilely threatened me with my parents, refused to allow me to meet them as a young man, forced me to practice martial arts every day, and instilled in me every day the idea of allegiance to the empire. Day after day, I was really numb, and I was sad to find that I was really powerless to resist such a huge imperial machine, and I was completely reduced to their murderous knives......"
"Later, they ordered the Assassin captain to be the decapitation operation, and once again threatened my parents...... Helplessly, I obeyed their orders, and after completing the first mission perfectly, I knew that I was wrong, and they would never let me go! Sure enough, again and again, threatening and forcing me to assassinate the leader of the so-called enemy, I also felt nothing from the initial discomfort to the later one......
With a long sigh, Raven continued: "That day, I finally realized my sin, and I finally understood how disgusting the name of 'executioner' I carried......"
"Well, what's going on?" Seeing Raven stop abruptly, Yasuo suddenly woke up from his unbearable obsession and asked in a thief's voice.
Raven looked at Yasuo in confusion, and after seeing the latter scratch his head in embarrassment, she sighed again and said, "It was a mission to assassinate the prime minister of a small country...... It was a very poor country, and their king was not only incompetent and incompetent in drinking, but also full of sycophants, so that the burden of the whole country fell on the old prime minister!Of course, I only found out after the fact......" Raven smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't feel anything when I knew about it, and when I left the empire that disgusted me, I realized how ignorant I was!"
"The superiors I knew before were all treacherous and cunning, and their means of subordination could not be threats and persecution!" Speaking of this, Raven's eyes glanced at Yasuo very "charming", Yasuo felt that his heart was beating uncontrollably again, and the whole person felt soft.
"Everything you do, compared to them, is really too kind!"
The sudden sentence of "......" instantly made Yasuo speechless, there are too many slots!
After the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, Raven found that her mood had become a little heavy because of the memories, and she actually became cheerful. Quickly retracting the faint smile, she combed the long hair that was wet with mist and blown on her face by the wind, and then recalled before: "The result of that time was also not unexpected, I successfully assassinated the prime minister, but, what I didn't know was that the elderly prime minister would have a daughter who was only a few years old...... It was only then that I suddenly realized that the prime minister's family background was not the opposite of his high position, it turned out that they were also so ordinary! So ordinary! From that moment on, I decided to leave that empire!"
