Chapter 717: I Don't Need Swallows
"Yes." Sister Siwei nodded, "When you mention the crown and the sword, the first thing that comes to mind is the Happy Prince. ”
I've heard a lot of stories, but I haven't heard of this.
"Can you tell me about it?"
My sister said that a long time ago, a swallow flew south to spend the winter, but accidentally fell behind.
It rests on a statue in the middle of the city, and that statue is the "Happy Prince", which has two eyes full of precious stones and gold leaf.
He stood in the middle of the city, watching his suffering subjects every day. The swallow wanted to leave for the winter, but the happy prince begged the swallow to take out his two jewel eyes and give them to the poor, followed by the gold leaf on his body.
They helped a lot of poor people this winter.
I was very happy when I heard this, yes, I just want to be such a prince, he will help everyone, he will be a "hero" to everyone.
Even if he's just a rock, even if he can't do anything, he can give everything he has.
I thought I had finally found my way, but at the end of this story, my expression gradually became lost.
My sister said that because of the delay, the swallow did not fly to the south, but froze to death in this cold winter.
The "Happy Prince" also became extremely ugly due to the loss of all the decorations on its body, and was dismantled soon after.
In other words, after the "Happy Prince" and Swallow helped the poor people in the city, they were sent to hell by their own hands.
After Sister Siwei finished telling the story, she asked with a sad face, "Brother Hero...... Do you want to be the "Happy Prince"? ”
"Sister......" I slowly lowered my head, "I want to be the Happy Prince, but I only want to be myself." ”
"Be ...... yourself?"
"Swallows can fly away, huh?"
"Huh?"
"Swallows can always fly away." With tears in my eyes, I said, "She doesn't need to follow the Happy Prince all the time, and she doesn't need to save the poor, if the swallow had left this cold winter sooner, she wouldn't have frozen to death." ”
"Huh." Sister Siwei was amused by me, "But without the help of the swallow, the Happy Prince alone would not be able to help those poor people." So where there is the "Happy Prince", there are swallows, and they have always been together. ”
Although my sister said so, I was really scared.
I want to be the "Happy Prince", but I don't need a swallow by my side.
I was scared that the ending of the story would happen to me.
"Brother Hero......" Sister Siwei said, "you know what? The Happy Prince is doing what he loves, and so is the Swallow. ”
"I ......," I nodded, but my expression was sad.
The Happy Prince is just a statue, it can't move, it can't go far.
Sister Siwei smiled and lifted her cheeks, "Is this good...... Because my sister and I are more knowledgeable, so tomorrow morning you go downstairs and wait for me, and I will tell you where to look for the crown and the sword, how about it? ”
"Hmm."
The next day, I finished "judging" the scent of everyone, and came to the gate to wait for Sister Siwei, who had disappeared for the day after talking to me yesterday morning, did she know where to find the crown and the sword?
When I arrived, all I could do was the "Detective" staring at me not far away. The first time I've seen the "Criminal" so closely, she has a dark brown emaciated cow face and two tiny horns on top of her head.
"Hello......" I smiled.
This "criminal officer" sister feels very strange to me...... The smell on her body is mixed.
She has both a relatively good fragrance and a stench that belongs to the "zodiac".
"Hello." "Detective," my sister said coldly.
Seeing that she also greeted me, I suddenly became a little curious about her.
The "criminal officer" stood motionless here every day, where did she come from, and where did she go to rest? What does she eat and drink?
What was she thinking when she was able to talk to us directly, but she never took the initiative to talk to us?
"Detective," sister ...... "I walked slowly towards her.
"How?" She looked down at me.
"Do you stand here every day?" I asked.
"Yes." She nodded, "But I'm not a 'criminal officer', I'm a 'zodiac'." ”
"I'm not a hero, I'm Yingxiong......" I whispered.
"What?"
"It'......s nothing," I laughed, "Zodiac" sister, you say...... "Who are we?" is it up to us to decide, or is it up to someone else to decide?" ”
"I don't understand."
"I mean...... Others call you "Detective", but you think you are the "Zodiac...... But everyone else calls me a "hero", so I'm ......."
"Are you a real hero?" "Zodiac" the sister asked, "Don't you know who you are?" ”
"I ...... I don't know......" I whispered, "no one ever told me who I was, I only knew what to do and what not to do, but I didn't know who I was." And now...... I don't even know what to do and what not to do. ”
The "zodiac" sister pondered for a while, and then said, "The first thing you should do now is to stay away from me, after all, in the eyes of others, I am a "criminal officer" and you are a "hero", and it is not a good thing for you to talk to me in private. ”
"Ah......?"
"Secondly, you should find a way to kill all the people in the city...... At least twice in a row. She said, "That's what you're supposed to do." ”
"Why ......?" I looked at her with some confusion.
"In this way, you can take the initiative to reshuffle the city, not only can you be safe, but the city's "disease" can also be cured."
That's when I realized that I had made a serious mistake, why didn't I talk to the "criminal officer" earlier?
She's the one here, and she definitely knows the place better than we do.
But if they don't produce a 'scent'...... After dying, there is no memory. ”
"Isn't that the purpose?" The "zodiac" sister looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she said with a serious face, "Children, it is their "memory" that destroys them, even if there is no one surnamed Wan in this place, few people will stay awake while preserving their memories for a long time, and as the number of reincarnations increases again and again, you will become more and more dangerous." ”
I seem to understand the meaning of the "zodiac" sister.
"Don't think you're safe now as a 'hero.'" She continued, "These people can kill you if they can kill the surname Wan, after all, there is no price for killing people here, and I don't recommend that you continue to test your humanity, otherwise you will really die." ”
