"Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Haina's eyes widened and she asked rhetorically.

“…… What ridiculous? ”

Sherlock was even stunned for a moment before finally reacting to what Haina was referring to: "Oh, I see. It's okay. ”

"Objectively speaking," Ivas said, "I mean, in terms of the objective conditions of Avalon and Star Antimony. Such a development is not entirely impossible. ”

"But in that future I've come across, Avalon is already chaos! Rotten dark magic has penetrated the land, food can no longer grow, famine has lasted for years, the Round Table has been completely degenerated and a joke, and the Inspectorate has been reduced to ruins. The corpses of animals and plants were corrupted by the power of the shadows and stood up again, and the souls could not enter the dream cycle but were imprisoned by the magic on the ground. Those shadow geys have at least a third energy level, attacking everyone indiscriminately......"

Haina even spoke noticeably faster.

It's like a madman who has penetrated the truth of the future, desperately and lonely to tell the future that no one will believe......

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Aihuas helplessly reached out and pressed the increasingly excited Haina: "It's not that we don't believe ......"

…… The only problem is that she herself was the last to know about these things.

If Ivus hadn't awakened his past life memories and done nothing, this would be what the future Avalon would look like. And Sherlock has so much information from the investigation and so much secret information of the big people at hand, with his cleverness and intelligence, he must have guessed this kind of future a long time ago - this is also the reason why he had a bad attitude towards Isabel in the first place.

It may not have been as detailed as Hayna's, but he must have guessed the future direction of Avalon. In the original game, he didn't react much to this; And when Ivas vaguely mentioned it to him at the bishop's house before, he just hummed and ended the topic.

Sherlock's loyalty to Her Majesty had made him ready to die with all his might. It wasn't loyalty to Avalon, it wasn't loyalty to the royal family of Avalon, it was just loyalty to Her Majesty alone.

As for Lily, she didn't care about those things at all. Moreover, she is a first-hand witness of "the extent of the degeneration of the Round Table" - her biological father is a minister of the Round Table, he is a spy who colludes with the Star Antimony people, and has just been killed by Ivus and Lily.

- Speaking of which, Haina really didn't know about it.

Because Minister Drost's death is actually top secret in Avalon - he has to be "alive" to make sense. In this way, they can continue to pull out all kinds of "confessions" from the void, so that those people can remain in a state of fear. Maintaining such political pressure makes it easier for those people to show their flaws.

"You might as well talk about it first," Ivaswin said, "what did you experience and foresee in that 'future'?" In other words, what exactly is the content of the ceremony you participated in this time? ”

“…… That's pretty long. ”

Haina calmed down a little and rubbed her temples with some distress: "Now the memory is almost blurred...... But this dream was very long, very long—maybe more than a month, maybe two or three months. ”

"Can it be that long?"

Ivus was a little surprised.

"Yes," Deepa nodded, her eyes still afraid, "in that future, I am an Overseer of the Inspectorate...... But in that future, people no longer trust the Overseer. My task is very simple...... It's 'protecting civilians', but it's such a simple task......"

She spoke, her words choking a little.

Ivus sat quietly beside her, waiting for her to calm down. Lily came over and hugged her gently, whispering something in her ear.

But Haina was a strong knight after all. Instead of crying in Lily's arms, it took less than ten seconds for her to adjust.

"In the beginning, there were twenty-eight civilians I found. I remember what each and every one of them looked like. They were very distrustful and hostile to me, and it took me a long, long time to get them to trust me...... It was only after a battle with those monsters that they slowly began to believe me. That's when I realized what was going on in that world......"

Ivas noticed that Haina subconsciously referred to the fragment of the dream as "another world".

Ivus liked the reaction. This means that she subconsciously sees the fabricated mimetic souls not as an afterimage, a ghost, but as a real person.

Although, strictly speaking, this is somewhat naïve and stupid.

But just as Ivas loves puppies and kittens, he also loves the kind of friends he can trust from the bottom of his heart—even if he doesn't have much contact with Haina.

"I don't know what the other people's mission is, but I have a betrayal."

Haina said this, gritting her teeth: "I remember that man - his code name was 'Cake Chef'. When I heard this codename, I thought he was a good man, otherwise I wouldn't have used such a soft and sweet thing as a codename...... But just after I trusted him and introduced him to the gathering place as a teammate...... The civilians began to disappear.

"When I disappeared to the tenth person, I finally realized that he was preparing the ritual materials. He laughed at me for believing him so easily, ritually tearing the tenth man to pieces in front of me and attacking me. It was a girl's mother, and she had just prepared porridge for me that morning. I also thought about escaping to Iris with my daughter to study music......

"Until then...... I really realized what the New Moon Ritual meant.

"I'm angry, but it's useless to be angry. There's no way I'm going to be able to defeat a prepared ritual master—and still while protecting those people. In the end, I was covered by those people before leaving...... By the time I fled to safety, there were only six of the twenty-eight left.

"—I'll always remember their names."

Haina said seriously.

Her words were sincere and fiery, and in her clenched fists was a real rage.

"If I could meet him in reality...... I'm going to definitely teach him a lesson. ”

"What will be the specific lesson?"

Ivus suddenly interjected.

Haina was silent for a while, then said seriously, "I'll kill him." ”

This girl who used to threaten people, at most, would only say "I'm going to arrest you...... Finally, with his sober will, he said seriously that he wanted to kill someone without being hot-headed.

Eivus smiled in satisfaction and nodded slightly.

It is much better to be able to grow in a dream than to really lose something in reality and then wake up.

"Good."

He said calmly, "You have indeed grown. Okay, I've got you covered. ”

“…… What? Hawena didn't react.

"I'll help you find him, and then let you kill him."

Ivus sat on the edge of the bed and whispered with a smile, "This will be a baptism for you, and a sign that you will eventually reach maturity." Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to sacrifice the person who makes them enlightened, but the nature of that is different after all. The person who really makes you angry should be put to an end by your own hands. That's what power is all about. ”

Sherlock on the side always felt that Ivas was like a demagogic devil at the moment.

His expression became extremely subtle. But in the end, it didn't stop Ewass.

Forget it, whatever he likes......
