Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Collapse of Mentality

After Dunn left, Gawain and Leonard were left in the ruins of Blackthorn Security.

Gawain arrives at Leonard's side and finds that the poet has woken up, but in a strange state.

The poet was lying flat on the floor, looking blankly at the sky, and the whole person looked a little dumbfounded.

Could it be that Ince Zangwill's mentality was broken? Or is your brain broken? Gawain thought with some confusion.

This little brother's ability to resist pressure is not very good, Gawain sighed.

He crouched down and patted his fellow poet on the face, but nothing happened.

"What's going on?" He asked curiously.

At this time, Parles's slightly tired voice sounded in Gawain's ears:

"I just stole this kid's memories of his colleague's killing in order to prevent him from making the wrong choice because of his emotions in the middle of the fight.

"He's fusing memories now, so the whole person looks a little confused."

Gao Wen nodded suddenly, the first time he used the emblem to access his memory, he was also confused for a while.

It was only after many exercises that I gradually adapted to this state and was able to recover quickly.

Gawain brought a stone from the ruins, then sat down beside Leonard, quietly waiting for the poet to recover.

After a while, Leonard gradually came to his senses from the chaos, tilted his head slightly, and saw Gawain beside him.

Gawain found that he was awake and asked with concern:

"How's it going, are you okay?"

"No matter how good it is, what can it be?" Leonard's words revealed a decadent mood.

Tsk, it seems that the mentality has been broken, Gawain thought.

He smiled and said, "Why, after a setback, you start to have a misanthropic mentality? ”

Leonard didn't speak.

I still have to make a cameo appearance as a psychiatrist, Gawain thought about it and asked:

"Since you became a night watchman, you must have experienced the sacrifice of your teammates more than once, why did you react so much this time?"

Leonard said in a deep voice:

"That's different."

"What's the difference?" Gawain asked suspiciously.

Leonard was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"I've always thought that I was the protagonist of the times, that I was the most special one.

"Even if there were teammates who died in the past, most of them were because they were out of control or polluted.

"This kind of thing is inevitable for us night watchers, and I have been mentally prepared for it.

"And with your help, Old Neil's loss of control can even be rescued, which makes me... I had the illusion that the world would revolve around me. ”

Gao Wen listened quietly and did not make fun of him.

To put it bluntly, the poet classmate of this period is still a young man in the second middle school full of fantasies, and it is normal for him to have such thoughts.

There was a little more gnashing of teeth in Leonard's voice:

"But this time, I watched Klein get his heart gouged out by that man, but he couldn't do anything.

"I can't save my teammates, I can't get revenge on him, it makes me feel like I'm... Like a piece of trash.

Leonard's voice was a little choked:

"I should have been able to do something, I should have been... If I hadn't been so careless, if I had been serious about acting, if I had been..."

He slammed his fist to the ground, gritted his teeth and said:

"If I could have been stronger then, Klein wouldn't have died, he wouldn't..."

Gawain understood that Leonard thought that he had played a perfunctory role, which caused him to be not strong enough, which caused Klein's death.

And Leonard felt a great deal of guilt because of this.

In the original book, although Leonard is also proud, he experienced the deaths of Neil Sr. and Kornley successively, which made him fully mentally prepared for the deterioration of the situation in the city of Tingen.

Even if Captain Dunn and Klein died at the same time, it was caused by the gradual development of events, and Leonard experienced the whole thing the whole way, not a sudden change.

Even so, Leonard, who woke up and saw the corpses of the captain and Crane, still felt a great disgust with himself.

So when he later learned that Ince Zangweil was behind the scenes, his first reaction was to take revenge on the murderer, and he did not have the idea of giving up on himself.

However, because of Gawain's plan, Leonard succeeded in saving two of his teammates, which made him misjudge the seriousness of the situation, thinking that he had been able to do it all along.

The most important thing is that Gawain unravels the mustard between him and Pales, allowing him to gain an experienced teacher, which makes him even more fluttering.

As a result, Ince Zangwill slammed down with a big slam in the pocket, knocking him directly back to reality, and immediately broke his mentality.

And based on the scene that Gawain saw when he first arrived,

Klein is believed to have been chatting with his fellow poets when he was suddenly killed by Ince Zangwill.

This sudden and huge blow naturally had a great impact on Leonard's mentality.

It's no wonder that Pales went out of his way to steal that part of Leonard's memories so that he wouldn't make any wrong moves during the battle.

It's a little strange that the high text is still a little strange, and there is no such thing in the original book, why did the old man Pales make such a move with unknown significance.

It turned out that the old man saw that Leonard was on the verge of a mental breakdown at that time, and he was afraid that he would act irrationally for a while.

The young man still lacks exercise, his psychological quality is not very good, and he has to find a way to divert his attention, Gawain said secretly in his heart.

"Then do you know who the murderer is?" Gawain asked.

Hearing this, Leonard's sloppy gaze began to focus.

He thought about it for a moment, and replied with hatred:

"Klein said before he died, Ince Zangwill."

"Then do you know what this man's purpose is?" Gawain then asked.

While questioning, he was also secretly stirring up Leonard's emotions.

Because at this time, you have to press step by step, mobilize Leonard's emotions in one step, and you can't give him time to react.

"For the ashes of St. Selena behind Chanis." Leonard replied.

"What does he want this for?"

Leonard listened attentively and said suddenly: "For promotion, he is for promotion to demigod." ”

"Your enemy is a demigod, are you afraid?" Gawain asked.

"Heh, I'm afraid? I just hope he lives a little longer until I go to him for revenge. Leonard sat up and sneered.

His emotions had been completely provoked by Gawain, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his turquoise eyes.

"What are you going to do next?" Gawain asked again.

"I'm going to join the Red Glove." Leonard didn't hesitate and said the fateful choice.
