Chapter 1692 Old Events
“What happened to him?”
Lianyi asked.
Mark leaned on the chair and paused for a while, as if he was recalling something, and then continued:
"Cassius took over a demon hunting mission and took his teammates to block a demon hunting mission. The demon passage was opened everywhere, but something went wrong in this mission. The passage was not a small crack, but a door. They were not strong enough and they were all sucked into the passage when they blocked it.
By the time the rescuers arrived, the passage had been closed. It was obviously a passage randomly opened by the demons from hell.
Our rescue failed and we were about to ask the Wizards Association for help, but Cassius ran back with wounds all over his body.
After three days of rescue, Cassius was finally rescued, but he used the excuse that he didn’t remember anything and never mentioned what happened in the passage. But he changed very much from that day on. silence.
Becky discovered her husband's abnormality. While patiently calming Cassius's emotions, she also asked sideways what happened. Then she found the reason for Cassius's decadence. "
Lianyi raised her eyebrows and said:
"Cassius once told me that he said that the Shadow Hunters are the blood of the angels who became abandoned sons, and the Hunter organization is just an organization looking for a way back to heaven, but under the influence of the human authorities, it has now become a group that hunts demons. Organization.
He also told me that some shadow hunters believe that as long as all the demons in the world are eliminated, they can return to heaven.
But he told me with certainty that the demons are not there at all. It is impossible to eliminate them all, because human evil thoughts are the breeding ground for demons. Only by eliminating humans can the demons be completely eliminated."
After listening to Ripple's words, Mark had a complicated expression on his face. It took a while. Then he asked:
"Lianyi, do you believe what he said?"
"I don't completely believe it. Some of what he said is right and it may be true, but I don't agree with some of the views."
"What do you think?"
"Shadow hunters are angels. I believe in bloodline, otherwise we would not have such a powerful power. This is a gift brought to us by bloodline.
Since we have accepted the gift, we must also give something back, so we must eliminate the evil demons who are causing trouble. Our duty.
As for the complete elimination of demons, I agree with Cassius that demons cannot be completely eliminated
However, I don’t think that if humans are destroyed, the devil will disappear completely. It is estimated that by then he will become a new devil and will never be eligible to return to heaven.
In my understanding, where there is light, there is darkness. Everything has a good side and a bad side. No one can be the only one, and we shadow hunters are the gray where light and darkness intersect. Balance the power of both sides.
What we are doing now is to prevent demons from occupying human living space. As for whether we can return to heaven, I don’t think it matters. What will happen if we go back?
Long life and strong strength are not necessarily good things for us. If we want to wear the crown, we must bear its weight. The greater the strength, the heavier the responsibility. "
"Hahaha! Well said! Well said! I didn’t expect that you, a hunter who joined halfway, is the one who really sees through everything.
But Cassius didn't see it through. He got into trouble and influenced a group of hunters. In the end, he chose to leave the hunter organization with his followers, claiming to be a descendant of angels, and devoted himself to finding a way to return to heaven. road.
The hunter organization retained the sacred artifact. Cassius thought it was a medium to return to heaven, so he led his people to attack the hunter headquarters.
That time we were caught off guard and many people died, including Becky, Jim’s mother. "
"Jim is the son of Cassius. "
Ripple said immediately. "Yes, he is Cassius's son. When Cassius left, Becky did not go with him. She did not agree with Cassius's concept and thought he was too young. Extreme, the two eventually parted ways.
Not long after Jim was born, Cassius led people to attack the hunter headquarters. Becky died in the battle, and Jim lost his mother. It was impossible for us to send Jim to Cassius, so we found A couple adopted Jim and took care of the child as much as possible.
Fortunately, Jim grew up very well, inherited Becky's excellent blood, and grew into an excellent hunter. Moreover, he did not know that his father was Cassius, he only knew that his mother was A shadow hunter was killed while guarding the hunter group. "
What Mark didn't say was that because of the identity of Jim's biological father, the opinions within the hunter organization were not unified when it came to treating Jim. Some people were afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of Cassius, and they did not even approve of training him as a hunter. Shadow Hunter.
Other people believe that the child is innocent. Cassius aside, Becky has never betrayed the organization and even died fighting to protect the organization. She certainly does not want her only The son was treated like this.
In the end, they decided to wait until Jim grew up before making a decision. Fortunately, Jim was very up to date and performed as well as ever, becoming an outstanding hunter in that class.
"Teacher Mark, haven't you thought about telling him the truth? The more you don't tell him, the more curious he will be. After he receives the wrong information, he will be easily misled."
Lianyi feels that these people always like to complicate simple things.
“This amusement park mission failed, and the hunters fell into a trap again. We are already investigating, and the clues point to Jim. Maybe Jim has been affected before we knew it.”
Mark said with a sigh.
Then he opened the drawer next to the table, took out a photo frame from it, and touched it nostalgically with a few people smiling happily. This photo was a group photo of them back then, including him, Damon, Cassius, and Becky. , Pelu, and Javier, who was the teacher of that year.
The faces in the photos are still fresh and energetic, but in reality things have changed.
Ripple glanced curiously, and Mark handed the photo to Ripple, and said with a smile:
“This is the only group photo I have preserved.”
After taking it, Lianyi looked at it carefully. Although more than twenty years had passed, he could still vaguely distinguish who the people in the photo were.
Ripple pointed at one of the women and asked:
"Who is she?"
"She is Becky."
A surprised expression appeared on Ripple's face. , looked at Mark and said:
"I have seen this woman in the photos at home. She is my mother, and my aunt told me."
Mark didn't seem surprised after hearing this, he just smiled and said:
"Becky and your mother are twin sisters. When they first participated in the hunter training, because your mother Belle was studying abroad, she postponed joining the hunter organization. The time was not with Becky, so she was not in the photo."
"Teacher Mark, are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Mark’s tone was very certain.
Ripple sat on the chair with the photo frame. She felt that the deep sadomasochistic relationship between the original body and Jim was a conspiracy. The two young people misunderstood it, but she didn't know whether it was Cassius or Jim who pushed all this. Jim replaced by Cassius.
