Chapter 973 Escape
Sacrifice yourself to resurrect the people of the East Kalevin Kingdom and to preserve the Watch Palace...
So in your eyes, am I such a "great" person?
Looking at Lyon with a determined look in front of him, the red-haired director shook his head slightly after being silent for a while.
"You guessed it wrong."
Amid Lyon's somewhat puzzled expression, the red-haired director lifted a strand of his hair, stared at the snow-white hair and said:
"I'm not as good as you thought. What really made me decide to do this is not the responsibility of being a cleaner or the guilt of that incident, but the simplest thing I want to escape from pain."
Escape from pain...
Lyon thought for a moment when he heard this, then frowned and said:
"Kill the bloody hair?"
"Yes."
After nodding slightly, the red-haired director said softly with his eyebrows and eyes lowered:
"You touched my hair with your hands and knew the price of using it, but no matter how detailed the information you get, as long as you don't become the holder of the Killing Blood Hair, you can't really understand what it means to be the holder of it.
It will absorb the [killing] behavior caused by the holder, and as long as I am awake, all those who died because of me will never stop yelling at me, revealing their hatred and unwillingness to me, and even stopping when I fall asleep.
In the past so many years, only when my consciousness was paralyzed by alcohol, the more than 100 million voices filled with anger and hatred became slightly blurred and slightly farther from my ears..."
After putting down his hair that was finally no longer dyed with blood, stretching out his fingers and gently drew a circle in his ear, the red-haired director looked at the silent Lyon opposite him and said quietly:
"They scolded them too fiercely, too ruthlessly, and too...correct, Lyon, I really can't hold on."
“…”
In Lyon's rather complicated expression, the red-haired director pursed his lips and said with a slightly dim look:
"I am the one who destroyed the Kingdom of East Kalevin. I am the only creator of these million killings and the only recognized holder of [Killing Blood Hair]. Naturally, their hatred can only be borne by me.
Even though I could cut down all the [Killing Blood Hair] and let the insults that were too much to drown me disappear from my ears for a while, I have been listening for so many years, and even though their voices left my ears, I still knew clearly what they would scold.
The 129.6 million voices, the swearings of those 120 million people who died because of me, may be temporarily left out of my ears, but will never leave my heart. ”
“…”
Seeing that the person in front of him was almost completely changed, no longer laughing, scolding, or cheating, no longer blinking the beautiful fox eyes, and making trouble with a smile. Even though he had made enough preparations in advance, Lyon's heart was still depressed for a moment, and then he couldn't help but comfort him:
"It's not your fault..."
"Of course it's not my fault."
Unconsciously avoiding the light cast in from the window and hiding his body into the darkness covered by the curtains, the red-haired director moved his gaze away and said in a vague voice:
"I never regretted doing that. I knew what I did right, and that was the best way I could think of at that time. No one could bear the consequences of not doing this. I knew I did not do anything wrong... but they didn't."
“…”
"Those who were killed by my own hands are not the ants crawling around in the [Thirteen Ant Nest], but are living people like you and me. They have their own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and happiness like me, and their own family and lovers like you, and their own lives.
And they obviously did nothing wrong, but they were like a group of ants, crushed to death by me in an instant, completely disappearing from this world, and they could not even leave traces of their existence.
In less than six hours, when the sun rises the next day, more than 100 million living people will be completely forgotten by everyone in the world together with their country...
And all of this is actually done by me, I did it myself! ” “…”
Looking at the red-haired director with a slightly trembling arm in front of him, Lyon was silent for a moment, swallowed the words of persuasion he had originally thought, then changed his angle and tried hard to persuade him:
"Director, before I came here, I discussed this issue with Your Excellency Taurus. We both believe that those who scold you in [Killing Blood Hair] are not the will or soul of a person, and they do not really exist.
Those voices are just the shadow of [hate] that accompanies [kill]. They are the reflection of [hate] absorbed by the blood-haired blood in the act of [kill], so..."
"So I just took on those false hatred and abuse as the holder of the abnormal object when I was using [Killing Blood Hair]."
"Yes."
"But is that different?"
After looking in the direction of Lyon, the red-haired director pursed his lips and said:
"The people who scold me are not true, but their experience is true, their hatred is true, and the things I killed them are true."
“…”
"Lyon, do you know? In fact, what makes me most painful is not that they scold me, but that they scolded me correctly."
After closing his eyes slightly, the red-haired director leaned on the back of the chair and said in a faint voice:
"Faced with the executioner who took away everything from them, they really have the right to scold me! And I don't even have a reason to scold me... So don't try to persuade me anymore, I always understand what I'm doing.
Lyon, I am not as noble as you think. I am neither prepared to sacrifice myself to protect the Watch Palace nor to sacrifice myself to resurrect the people of the Kingdom of East Calevin. I just don't want to listen to them scold me anymore... So don't stop me, okay? ”
"?!"
After hearing the words of the Red-haired Director, Lyon's breathing stuttered slightly, and then instinctively covered him:
"What are you talking about? I'm not already being slapped by you..."
"It's so fake, your plans are more obvious than mine."
Pointing to Lyon's arm that kept holding Prince Ariel's daughter, the red-haired director shook his head and said:
"You, an abnormal object that can only be activated by the help of a queen, has almost no limit on the release distance, and its consumption is surprisingly low. The only weakness is yourself.
And with your exactly the same habit as Emma, even if you really think you are sure to win and do not maintain your investigation of [Xinhu], you will definitely be prepared for the surrounding situation and it is impossible to be completely unprepared. ”
“…”
"At first, I really thought you were careless, but after you were caught by me, since you did not threaten or persuade me, but instead gave up struggling and admitted to the situation, I knew you must have other plans.
And you were indeed the same as I thought. Not long after, you started to inquire about my plan by being caught by me and no longer threatened... Lyon, you were just trying to attract me on purpose, just to trap my words, right? ”
“…”
