Killed Nightingale's parents???

This question is absurd, and even a little incomprehensible, because Nightingale's parents are obviously still alive, and the lonely aristocratic couple living in Serbia have become the most respected family in the local area because of such a daughter, and even the mayor is respectful when he sees them.

So, if anyone else hears this, they will be extremely confused.

It's just that the old man on the hospital bed didn't show any puzzled look, he slowly closed his eyes, as if pondering something, the silence lasted for about half a minute, Dante opened his eyes again, and then said weakly:

"Did Sherlock tell you?"

Since this kind of question is asked, it means that no amount of concealment is meaningful.

Nightingale shook her head: "No, but I'm not stupid, I knew very well when I became an adult that the old couple was not my parents, they were just responsible for raising me, or rather guarding me." ”

"You can't find out." Dante finally showed a hint of doubt, turned his head to look at the baby he had once been in his arms, and found that she had grown up, and realized once again that so many years had passed.

"There's no need for an investigation, just a simple argument." Nightingale stood beside the old man and responded, "Because. . Looks. I'm so beautiful, there's no way that couple could have had a child like me. ”

Because it doesn't look like it?

Conclude that you are not the biological child of the so-called parents?

What a ridiculous theory

But sometimes, if it doesn't look like it, it does have ironclad strength, a horse gives birth to a mule, which can still be said to be more or less in the past, but a lion gives birth to a cat, which is a bit absurd, even if it is specific to a person, it is impossible to have a father with a small head, and the diameter of the son's head is 5 times that of his father.

In addition to appearance, in life, in ordinary conversations, personality, ways of getting along, and other details, in fact, some clues can be vaguely seen, just like Nightingale said, she is not stupid, so she can be sure that her parents did not give birth to herself.

She even wondered if she was a human being, after all, as a contractor, her summoning demon turned out to be something with the same appearance as a human.

Why do those demons want to send themselves to hell?

Why did Sherlock go to Hell but not tell him about the humanoid demon when he returned?

Nightingale had been bothered by these doubts, but no one answered them, and she knew that even if she asked, nothing would come of it.

Again, the same sentence. She's not stupid, she can guess.

"I'm not of the world, am I?" Nightingale said calmly: "If my summoning demon is a human appearance, then that is, there are actually human beings in hell, in the same way, I can also make [people] on the other side of hell, and before I was born, you were the only one in the whole world who went to hell and successfully returned, if I originally belonged to hell, it could only be that you brought me to this world." ”

This set of cause and effect relationships doesn't sound very complicated, but it's basically impossible for anyone to dare to think in this direction, maybe Nightingale is really born with a certain rebellious mentality, or maybe she has been with Sherlock for a long time, and her mind is also tainted with a bit of whimsical bad habits.

In short, it took her several years to think of this possibility, and at this moment, when she faced the dying old man, she finally mustered up the courage to ask, and the moment she saw the old man's silence, she already knew the answer.

"So, what happened to my parents when you brought me into this world? Are they trying to stop you? Did you kill them? ”

Mistress Dante closed his eyes again, and the cold in his body that soaked into the bone marrow finally made him feel a trace of unbearable pain, and his originally calm face suddenly aged a little:

"Do you say the one who gave birth to you? Actually, you have never met them, and you should not have any feelings for them, but if you just want to know an answer, it is true that they were killed by me, and it can even be said that the world you are in was ruined by me, and I turned it into hell. ”

Lord Dante spoke slowly, there is an old saying in the empire [A man is dying, and his words are good], so at this moment, the old man seems to have finally told some stories buried in his heart.

"Why are you doing that?"

"This is a very complicated issue, the two worlds have different cultures and cognitions, and if they want to invade this side, I naturally want to stop it."

"So, because you want to avoid war, you want to destroy that world first?"

This is a knee-jerk retort as a medical worker, and in their hearts, if they use killing to stop killing, it is the most stupid and absurd behavior.

No one had ever dared to question Dante in such a tone, but the latter did not show disgust, but just smiled and said, "A few years ago, Sherlock asked me a question in the blood cell, if a man saves the world, but he kills an innocent child, then he is right or wrong.

What do you think? ”

"Of course it's wrong." Nightingale didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "Merit and fault are not intertwined, and the two cannot complement each other. ”

A very pertinent answer. I believe most people have this answer. And that's what I like about Sherlock. Dante recalls the scene in the blood cell: "He didn't care about right or wrong, he had his own criteria for judging things, so I made a bet at that time, and said, if one day you betray humanity, then I will kill you myself."

Now that I think about it, I lost the bet, but fortunately, I can afford to lose, although I haven't done such a thing as killing people for decades, but I haven't been rusty yet. ”

The calm tone can most intuitively show the strength of a person, Nightingale thought about the cold corpse of Sherlock that he had just seen, and suddenly felt that even if the old man in front of him was already lying on the hospital bed at this time, he could still transform into a terrifying existence that slaughtered everything in the next second.

"And what answer do you want?" She asked.

"It's very simple, right or wrong, it depends on the person asking the question, and it depends on which side you are on." Dante's answer was very old-fashioned, as if in those classical literature, the superior always asked his subordinates the question. "Are you from my side?"

"Right and wrong only depends on the position, from a child fight, to a street fight, or even to a life-and-death decision, or a war between two worlds, I am a very traditional person, of course I know that the other world is innocent, and the people there don't deserve to die, but they have the technology and ideas that are ahead of this century, if they can pass through the gates of hell, they can threaten this world, then they deserve to die.

It's not about right or wrong, it's about being a man of this century, and here are the things I want to protect. ”

Like all stubborn and persistent old people, they have worked hard for their families and children all their lives, and their last wish before death is to see their children again, and even after death, they hope that their bones can return to their hometown.

In this sense, Dante can indeed be called the guardian of this world.

"But what about me?" Nightingale's expression was downcast: "So I don't belong to this world, did you think about whether they were good to me or not before you gave me to that old couple, and whether they would really treat me as a child?"

All the media said that I had embarked on a journey through the empire to save more injuries.

But this is just a nice thing to say, no one has ever thought about what kind of life I am living in that family, if it weren't for my awakening of the ability to cure diseases, I might have married the son of a wealthy gentleman by now, and I saw each other's faces for the first time the night before I got married. ”

This is the first time Nightingale has spoken about her family, about her parents:

"If you were born in this world, and the people you care about are in this world, then what about me?

I don't belong to this world, and the people I care about and care about were killed by you not long ago, if according to your theory, should I still be on your side now? ”

The old man continued to lower his eyes: "But this world has raised you after all. ”

"I'm not averse to the Empire, and I've done enough with the Empire over the years."

Nightingale's tone was somewhat like what she said when she faced the pair of parents who were blocking the door of the house and wouldn't let her leave:

"I'm just explaining to you why I didn't save you."
