Chapter 183: Throughout my life, I have no regrets
Lynch is seriously considering whether there are creatures like Komodo dragons in this world. If there are, he will feed them to the bearded man. Anyway, he owes himself A meal of lizards.
Or the other way around, feed the monitor lizard to the bearded man.
It's better to choose the latter. Who asked him to kick open the door of 304 at the critical moment? The door panels were knocked down and he said they wouldn't close the door.
Is there any way to beat him to the ground?
However, after looking at several second- and third-level watchers who came in one after another, as well as Mr. V with fifth-level power, Lin Qi felt that it was better to be more open-minded and temporarily forgive them for their bad guys and good deeds.
After all, I can't defeat anyone, not to mention they have good intentions.
This is the headquarters of the Watchers. The dormitory is not specially treated like the basement. The distortion occurs in the dormitory. There is some sense in the club below. A group of people don't know what happened and immediately rush to support. As a result, It was a good show.
Lin Qi was even secretly glad that he didn't do anything unspeakably bad, otherwise he would have asked them to collect the tickets.
But it was impossible for him to do anything. Officer Natalie was so weak that she had only one breath left. She was supported by the excitement of the rest of her life. Now she fainted when she was disturbed by Cui En. Instead, she knocked out a group of watchmen who were joining in the fun. Startled.
Fortunately, after examination, Natalie was fine, but the distortion just caused serious consumption and she had to stay in bed for a period of time.
This made Lynch quite confused...
Is it my illusion? I always feel that people who are closer to me are either already lying on the bed or on the way to lie on the bed.
It must not be my problem, yes, it is just the arrangement of fate. Fate is really a clever thing.
Laughing secretly a few times, Lynch explained to Mr. V what had just happened. Although he had determined that Natalie was fine, he heard that she had begun to distort just now, although he was mentally prepared. , but the room was still in an uproar.
The result of the erosion of the soul is loss of control, and the end of loss of control is distortion.
Once transformed into a twisted body, it is impossible to recover. This is an iron law and no one has ever violated it. However, in the short period of time between the beginning and the end of the distortion, there is indeed a last chance to interrupt the loss of control and allow the victim to return to normal.
It’s just that the probability of success is extremely low, less than one in a million. It has no reference value and is automatically ignored by everyone.
"The rare ability of dying resonance can theoretically enter the soul that is about to be distorted, but almost no one does it. Do you know why?"
After hearing Lynch talk about the whole process, everyone was excited. The expression on his face was very subtle. Mr. V patted Lynch on the shoulder, and his tone was not so serious and rigid for the first time:
“Because it usually only takes a few hours from the time when you realize that you have been eroded to when you complete the distortion. At that time, it was difficult to find people with this ability, and more importantly, the mortality rate of doing so was as high as 200% to 300%.”
The corner of Lin Qi's mouth trembled: "Have even those watching the fun been affected?"
"Two twisted bodies appear at one time. It is also very dangerous when clearing them out. People often lose people." Mr. V He smiled and nodded, "As far as I know, no one can use this method to save a twisted person. It will only put yourself in a desperate situation. You are the first to succeed."
'Is it that serious, neighbor? ’
There was silence in my mind.
‘Neighbor, are you there? ’
Quietly.
‘Phew, you’re angry, neighbor. ’
[No, I am just a witness, an awakener. I will be by your side to witness your awakening journey. 】
‘Hiss, I’m quite angry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t be angry yet, I apologize. ’
[If the apology was useful, there would be no need for the Hall of Order to exist. You said so yourself. 】The gentle voice was silent for a moment after finishing speaking, and finally sighed, 【The road to the highest is hard-won, please cherish it, Lynch, don’t waste your life, there is only this chance of recovery, neighbor, I can’t do it again. Help you wake up. 】
‘As expected, you helped me wake up, thank you. I will be more cautious in the future. Is it really that dangerous this time? ’
[Every action you took just now may lead to failure. It is no longer a question of whether it is dangerous or not. 】
The gentle Ms. Red Moon expressed such a long meaning for the first time: [If you fail to turn the target to herself in time, you have been distorted now. If you fail to leave a deep enough impression in her heart, If you can't break through her soul world and penetrate into it, then you have been distorted now. If your actions fail to stimulate her desire to live, you have now been distorted. If her will is not strong enough, after the stimulation, You can't resist the erosion of mysterious filth, you...]
'I have become twisted now, I know. ’
[Well, it’s normal to have good and bad scenery during the journey, and sometimes rugged scenery is more attractive. But I don’t want the people I witness to despise precious opportunities and gamble with their lives on almost non-existent possibilities. 】
‘Oh, I understand what you mean, neighbor, but I have a question. ’
【Huh? 】
‘Which is greater, human beings or the Supreme Being? Which is more precious, human life or supreme existence? ’
My mind fell into silence again.
Lin Qi ignored whether there was a response in his mind and thought to himself: 'At the end of the first era, the great disaster that ended the age of mythology, although I don't know what crisis we encountered at that time, but I know that a god took the initiative to stand up, set an example for the gods with his actions, and challenged the catastrophe at the cost of his own existence. In the end, the gods fell and the creatures withered, but at least hope was preserved. The barbarian age and the dark age that followed. ’
[It’s different, Lynch. Existing in this world and being worshiped by hundreds of millions of creatures, we have an obligation to be responsible for this world. But you're human, at least for now, and you don't need to have the same attitude as us. 】
‘There is nothing different. As long as we have self-awareness in the world, we have responsibilities that we must bear. This is true for gods and humans. I am not responsible for the entire world like a god, and I have little interest in protecting people who have nothing to do with it. But I also have my own persistence, and I will not avoid what I should do. Just like the old saying in my hometown, ask yourself, if it is something that must be done, even if I face an army of tens of millions of people, I will persist to the end. ’
Lin Qi smiled in consciousness and said leisurely:
'I know you are worried about me, neighbor. I am very grateful to you, but I hope you can answer my question truthfully. If I had really cut it down with a sword just now, I could indeed avoid taking risks, but... such behavior is really... Would you like to see the scenery? Do you really think that I am qualified to take over the authority of Red Moon? ’
After a long time, a faint sigh came from the consciousness: [Even if this will interrupt your path to immortality, you will not regret it? 】
‘I will have no regrets throughout my life. ’ Lin Qi became playful and pictured an image in his mind of raising his fist to the sky.
[Pfft, okay, I understand, then I will stay with you and witness your journey to seek death. 】
‘Hiss, you are...no, you are such a bad god. ’
Lynch smiled and retracted his consciousness of harassing his neighbor. At this time, professionals had already sent Officer Natalie to the underground infirmary, and she would receive professional treatment in the next few days.
Room 304 is temporarily unusable. There is blood and minced meat everywhere on the carpet. It looks like a massacre scene. We can only clean it up after the police officer wakes up. But these have nothing to do with Lynch now. Seeing the sleeping Natalie being carried away on a stretcher, Lynch finally showed a relaxed smile.
I finally helped you survive, partner, we will continue to be entangled in the future, don’t try to get rid of me easily, hehe.
"Thank you, Mr. Lynch."
After the watchmen left in a noisy manner, a wine glass was stretched out from behind. When Lynch turned around, he saw Mr. V holding the bottle on the coffee table and pouring two glasses of expensive red wine.
Hey, you are such a bad guy, why do you take your subordinate's wine as a favor?
Lin Qi silently made a note in the detective notes in his mind before taking the wine glass.
"L is a good friend of mine. I'm very grateful that you can save his daughter. I'd like to toast you."
Lin Qi put away the banter, nodded and drank the drink.
"Watchers have received a lot of help from you. How about it? Are you interested in joining us? Not the Watchers of Rhine City, but the Watchers of Rand Kingdom." Mr. V asked seriously, "If you If you are interested, I will apply to the headquarters, and you will enter the Watcher system directly and have a code name.”
Lynch was stunned, thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it, I think the name Private Detective Lynch Levy is very nice, and I don't plan to change my name. Besides, if I join, I will probably use L as the name." Code name, I'm afraid Natalie will not only disown me, but also kill me directly, so let's forget it, I'm more afraid of death."
"Haha, okay, although it's a bit regretful, I respect your idea. "Whenever you change your mind, tell me at any time." Mr. V said nonchalantly, "Natalie has to rest for a few days. What are your plans during this time?"
"Take care of your legs first." Okay, don't leave me disabled, and then... go collect a bill for someone else." Lynch showed a ferocious smile, clenched his fists and said, "Someone wanted to use me as a pawn to achieve their own goals. This behavior is normal, I don’t blame them, but... I can’t even close my eyes if I don’t give them some blood.”
Mr. V shuddered, took a few steps away from Lynch, and looked at him with strange eyes: "Grant?"
"And his ghoul allies. Haha, it's time to stop. It’s time to settle the account.”
