If someone else had said that to me, I would have suspected that this was a rhetoric to sow discord. But at this moment, it is no one else who is saying this, but it is Biting Blood himself.

Moreover, the mapping body is essentially a procedural virtual personality that can simulate the psychology of the ontology completely realistically, and faithfully answer my questions, and it is absolutely impossible to lie and conceal it in front of me. Even if you really encounter a question that you can't answer, you will only frankly say "I don't know", or you will fall into a collapse because you can't answer it. However, the bite of the body did not show such signs, and its speech even seemed categorical. Although several questions quickly surfaced after hearing her statement, it seems that I have to accept it for the time being and continue the conversation on this premise.

But emotionally, it's not so easy to immediately accept this cold statement. In reality, the bite of blood unequivocally cost me her life, and she would make up lies to me after becoming a ghost, and even betray me? Sounds incredible. Is it because she has experienced a real death that has caused a huge psychological shadow, which makes her feel an uncontrollable fear of fighting with Dawn and Fazheng?

Or is it because her inner body is gradually becoming demonic, so the human side is inevitably falling apart?

I repeated the questioning, but the answer to the mapper's bite was still the same - the bite wanted me to die at the hands of Dawn.

"After all, I simply don't have any room to continue refining my sealing spells. Because the sealing spell I prepared for Dawn's self-detonation at the beginning was already the product of my own spare effort. "There's not much time left, and even if we can continue to innovate temporarily, we can at most make some insignificant changes to the original details." ”

Speaking of this, she added two more sentences, "It's not impossible to strengthen it if I really want to, but I must take the initiative to strengthen the sealing spell on the spot." And in that case, I wouldn't be able to distract myself from initiating a spatial shift. ”

"Then again, you shouldn't be able to handle enemy attacks while launching a spatial shift, right?" I remembered it. In the past, I relied on this to defeat the bite of blood.

"Yes. The last time I was in that stronghold, I was able to perform a spatial shift while holding the flames was because the sealing spells needed to hold the flames were prepared from the start. When I use it, I can throw it out, I don't need to improvis, and it doesn't take up my brainpower. She said, "And the sealing spell I was going to use to freeze Dawn's self-detonation this time is the same thing, the difference is that the last time it was not a complete body, this time it is the real one that spares no effort." ”

"Speaking of spatial transfer...... Your original plan to kill Dawn was to use the Space Transfer Spell to escape by using the Spatial Diversion Spell to take advantage of the gap in the fire of the self-detonation to be fixed by the Sealing Spell. I said, "So, even if you can't further extend the time to freeze the self-detonation, you can use spatial transfer to take the people around you to the edge of the fog in an instant, right?" It's not about moving out of the fog in one go, it's just about taking someone else inside the fog, and you should still be able to do it. Actually, you've done it with me twice before. ”

"Yes, you can. But at the end of the day, even if we retreat to the edge of the fog, we can't survive the dawn of self-detonation. Rather than that, I should just move myself out of the fog in order to live alone. Biting blood said.

"Why can't it be?" This time it wasn't me, it was the siren, and her phantom appeared beside me, and quickly solidified, as if it were actually in the real world.

She then asked, "You don't know the specific defense of the Siren's Blade after entering the 'Soul Burning Mode', why can you conclude that the Siren's Blade can't be prevented?" ”

"I've already observed from the last battle in Puqing City that his weakness after entering the soul burning state is the high temperature that is enough to invade the spirit body. If the soul is burned and invaded by such high temperatures, the burning process will be greatly accelerated. And the high temperature created by Dawn has that ability, and he has obviously been affected a lot before. Biting Blood answered the siren's question, "And once he encounters the self-explosion of Dawn, the extreme heat will push him to the end in a very short period of time in a state of soul burning, and the shield's defense is useless no matter how high." But if you don't enter the soul burning state, the defense of the shield will be reduced to the point that even I can destroy it, which is also the experience I gained in Puqing City. ”

Hearing this, the siren could only nod, "I see, ...... so"

This scene struck me as incredible. In reality, Bite Blood doesn't even know that the sirens exist, but now the sirens and the bite are talking naturally.

"So I can conclude that in reality I'm lying, I just want you dead." "Besides, if I'm really going to stay in the fog and defend against Dawn's self-detonation with you, why don't I go and prepare the fortifications for the explosion first, and don't even mention it?" ”

"But I still have questions." I said, "Is the spell of the iron collar ineffective for you after you become a ghost?" ”

"It works." She replied clearly, "Although it was an item that I specially prepared to win your trust during my lifetime, it was me after death who gave it to you with my own hands, so it is valid for me after death." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the effect of the Iron Collar Spell is that when you're about to attack me, or when you're about to frame me, you're going to inflict unbearable pain." I asked, "Assuming everything you say is true, why isn't this effect activated now?" ”

"It's very simple, although I want you to die and lie in front of you, I have no real intention of framing you." She said.

I got stuck thinking, "What do you say?" ”

"First of all, you will definitely fight against Dawn and Fazheng, this is a matter that no one can persuade back. And then your ending is nothing more than two things: first, you will lose the battle and die at the hands of Dawn and Fazheng......" she said, "Second, given that you have not won battles that were impossible to win in the past, you may also miraculously win in the future, and the ending will still not change, and you will still die from Dawn's self-explosion if you kill Dawn." ”

"Your death is predestined. Could this mean that I'm framing you? She asked rhetorically.

"No, you can't." I said, "You're still the one who persuaded me to turn back." ”

"There are only two death endings waiting for you, and if you were to choose one of these two endings, your final choice would be completely predictable." She said.

I nodded, "Naturally, it's the second." ”

"So, I'm not framing you, I'm helping you. It's not even a play on words, it's not a joke, it's a fact. I'm choosing the outcome you expect. "Even you are expecting death, of being free from your suffering." I can see this clearly in reality. ”

In this way, it is only natural that my awareness cannot capture her intention to frame me. The difference between the two endings is nothing more than whether Dawn and Fa Zheng are dead. This is not so much to kill me by the hand of the dawn, but to kill the dawn and the Fazheng by the hand of me. And for herself, the second ending is much more favorable than the first. Because Dawn and Fazheng are also her enemies.

But it's still a risky move, and she must fight her own killers again...... Thinking of this, I asked, "So, why do you have to make up lies instead of just quitting the fight?" ”

"Because you don't want me to live." The words of biting blood woke me up like cold water.

I quickly realized what she was going to say next.

"I can avoid the Iron Collar's spell from automatically triggering on me, but you can still activate it on your side." She continued, "You're going to use the Iron Collar to force me into battle, because if I quit the fight, your odds of victory will be greatly reduced, and that's secondary; The main reason is that because I will definitely do evil again after you die, you must make sure that you can take me with you when you die. ”

Yes, when I got the iron collar, I also thought about similar things. And after knowing that biting blood died for me, I didn't continue to think like that. But not because I decided not to do it, but because I unconsciously avoided this line of thought.

Biting blood has done this for me, but am I still going to kill her?

But if I don't take advantage of this opportunity to kill her, she is destined to kill countless innocent people in the future.

I suddenly felt like I was a little similar to her. Because, I actually planned to kill her after confirming her intentions. Even if you know that you will fall into a huge whirlpool of pain because of this. Isn't this the work of the devil?

"I see...... It turns out that your motive for telling that lie is for this. The sirens seemed to have figured it out.

I also thought of what she had in mind," ...... Is it to buy time? ”

"Yes. If I didn't say anything, and just fought alongside you, you would kill Dawn while depriving me of all mobility with the Iron Collar Curse, to ensure that both I and you would die in Dawn's self-detonation. "But if I had been aggressive in my desire to fight alongside you, and had told you that 'we have a way to defend against Dawn's self-detonation in the future,' you wouldn't have used the Iron Collar right away, and I'd have bought time to launch a spatial shift and escape the fog on my own." ”

"While the Iron Collar's spell can be inflicted on you in defiance of time and space, and the pain inflicted on you is so severe that it can kill you in a matter of seconds, I will die in the self-detonation of Dawn before that happens......" I figured out the joints.

The iron collar, originally an object she trusted me, has become a symbol of the irreconcilable contradiction between me and her.

"Is there really no other way......" I racked my brains as I wondered if there was a way to let the bite bite harmlessly survive.

The mapper bite seems to have misunderstood the meaning of my words, and she said, "If it's a way for you to live, objectively it still exists." ”

The sirens asked before I did, "What is it?" ”

"My space transfer can be used not only for myself, but also for other people. In the Battle of Dawning Dreams, I also used the same method to transfer the Dream Undead of Dawn from the inner part of Dawning Dreams. Bite Blood looked at me and spoke, "As long as I move you to the outer edge of the fog at dawn and blow yourself up, you can live." ”

"But the fog has a strong blocking of spatial transfer, and with your strength, you can only transfer one person at most. Transfer me out, and the dead will be you. I said.

"Yes. So it's just an objective solution. "And subjectively, I can't sacrifice for you." ”

"Why?" The siren asked, "Didn't you already die for him once?" ”

"I didn't know I was going to die. On the contrary, after thousands of precognitive dream exercises, I thought I had a chance to win. Death at the hands of Dawn was only an accident. "Even if I can gamble with my life, I will never die...... I don't want to die a second time. ”

The siren continued, "As a ghost, you should make it your most important thing to fulfill your obsession. If he dies, you will never be able to achieve your obsession again. Doesn't that matter? ”

"His death was predestined by his own willfulness. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. It's something I can't change. "Besides, even if he dies, my obsession will have a chance to be achieved next time." And if I'm eliminated, I really won't be able to achieve my obsession anymore. ”

"Next time?" I asked.

"I must admit that psychologically abnormal people like you are very rare, otherwise I wouldn't have lived so long to meet you. But through you, I've finally come to know what kind of people would treat me as human. "The reason why you treat me as a human being is because you have a high threshold for judging things outside of people." When I can't satisfy your sexuality, you think I'm 'just human.'" To put it bluntly, it's that simple. ”

"And your terrible sexual orientation may not be unlearned by others, and other people who share your sexual orientation are likely to have as stubborn morals as you. I can also draw inferences from your psychological characteristics, find the possibility of accepting me from more groups of anomalous people, and even kidnap a dozen or twenty babies to raise psychopaths like you from scratch. I still have a lot of life and time to go, and there's no need to cling to your tree. She coldly dissected and calculated with her own wisdom, and came to a clear conclusion, "You are not irreplaceable to me. ”
