Chapter 38: The Encounter with the Debris of Mercury 4
Minjana's tone became stern: "That's his choice, no one has the right to interfere, and your statement is not fair at all." Metis—"
Hangfolk waved his hand rudely, decisively interrupting her speech: "Don't mention this name in front of me. ”
Minjana's body stiffened for a moment, she took her hand off his shoulder, walked quietly to the door, and said indifferently, "I love you, Hangfolk." But between you and Metis, I'd rather be more sympathetic to her, you know. ”
Hangfolk tried to stop her, but after a while, he realized that when Minjana was angry, nothing was working. He smiled wryly, sat down again, and took out a small pendant from the secret cabinet inside his desk.
He hesitated, and when he opened it, the silver-haired and blue-eyed girl smiled happily at him as if the whole universe had been made to shine. The tears he had suppressed for a long time finally dripped onto the smooth transparent alloy lid.
"Ogisi, my Ogisi. Why did you leave me so soon? I don't blame you, not at all, it's not your fault..."
An extremely ethereal voice suddenly sounded coldly behind him: "Is this the fault of Metis?" Is it wrong that she shouldn't have been born? ”
Howford quickly took out a delicate microwave gun from his dressing gown and said loudly, "Who? ”
The voice seemed to sigh and said softly, "I didn't expect that we would meet again." ”
After the image of the particle sketch gradually became a physical object, Leora said to Hangfrick, who was completely stunned, "It's been a long time, Hangfolk, put away your gun." ”
Shaking his head hard, Hangfork said incredulously, "Oh my God, you're still like this." ”
Leora smiled coldly: "The existence of superlife beings is the ultimate blasphemy for you, right?" ”
Hangfolk reluctantly put the gun away and quickly returned to normal. He raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”
Leora looked at him amusemently, closed her eyes and smiled slightly: "You don't need to call me that, I am no longer the master of the Federation, and that constraint will not have an effect on you." And you didn't want to call me that back then, so why bother with it now? ”
Hangfork said grimly, "Since you are so straightforward, I don't have to pretend - my true state of mind will always be seen by you anyway." ”
Leora said blandly, "You should understand why I'm back here again, and why. ”
Hangford turned suddenly, his iron-gray hair trembling and shaking.
"I know why," he said forcefully, "but there's nothing to talk about. ”
"I know who killed her," Leora said sternly, "but you: her patriarch are the culprits responsible for her life being so broken. ”
I don't deny that. But I'll never stop hating her, hating her. Even though she's dead, her soul floats in the empty cosmic interstitium—"
"Shut up!"
Leora had never been so angry. He pointed at Falford and said bitterly, "Isn't all the damage you have done to her enough to make up for the color of her eyes?" Think about it, how did you treat her back then? And the scum of Sebedon! I've never been a proponent of revenge at the cost of death, but I really can't think of a better way to do it to the two of you. ”
Hangfolk closed his eyes and said contemptuously, "My life is here, you can take it at any time." But before that, I'm going to tell you. ”
"What?"
"You're just an anomalous monster, just like her, no, more deformed than her. It's just that she can be destroyed, and you have mastered eternity. Just, what do you get? You have no lover, no loved ones, no one can live with you.
Maybe I should sympathize with you, but I don't have that kind of superfluous charity. Disi was killed by monsters like you! ”
Leora was unmoved, but his blue eyes began to glow with a luster like a green flame: "I've heard a lot of this kind of talk." It's just that you, who have love and affection, have done to the children of your beloved? You sold her to Serberton as if she were an object, and do you know how Serberton spoiled her? If your love for Didis prevents you from hating her, do you have the right to vent your selfish anger on Metis?
"It is true that my life is close to eternity, and perhaps as far as your epistemology is concerned, this state is tantamount to deformity, but this condition of existence allows me to see through your errors and sins. Many people regard sin as 'human nature', but this kind of human nature should not exist. You can't use the excuse of boring feelings to weakly forgive yourself! ”
"You're not in a position to judge me, and if anyone is really at fault, it's Rister Pomolle - that brute violated Disi, that's why—"
Leora said grimly, "Rister was slaughtered by you frantically at that time. It was precisely because of this that the civil war of the six great families was caused, and the bloody and large-scale atrocities of the "People's Revolutionary Party" at that time were almost successful. ”
Hangfolk said viciously, "Shouldn't I have killed him? Killing him will not eradicate the evil he has left behind—"
Leora said coldly, "I told you then that my sympathy for you has been wiped out by the upheaval you have caused. ”
Hangfolk said horribly: "Abomination is relative. You know what I think of you in my heart, so you don't like me either, and use your influence to convince my army and turn it all over to Frey Feyton and the dead Sigana. ”
"Sigana is dead?"
Falfolk said maliciously, "What are you surprised about? He's dead long ago, and he's been a living corpse since the moment your spirit was taken away from you. It's just that he died very consciously. He died by suicide. ”
He closed his eyes awe-inspiringly: "I've said so much, it's enough to be firm enough for your killing intentions, right?" Your Majesty. Let's do it! ”
Leora looked at him silently for a long time, and slowly shook her head: "From the moment I entered your psychic range, I knew that you had been suffering—not only for Gahia, but also for Metis. ”
"No!"
"You have a great desire to die, but I will not destroy a life that is capable of grief."
All of a sudden, Hangfolk seemed to be really old. He bowed his head and said, "This is your punishment?" ”
Leora's voice returned to ethereal, and he said indifferently, "This is my last kindness, Hangfolk." In this world, there are still people who love you. In the meantime, I want you to think about how much Metis craves your affection. ”
