Prologue: Choose, Try

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "Do you really have a divine talent?"

"What else? Do you think I have any other special abilities? Before entrusting me to handle the case, you should have investigated my personal information - now, you are not still planning to hide it, right?"

"Is this what your divine gift told you?"

"No, I guessed."

"Haha... Well, you guessed it right. I didn't choose you by chance, but after a long period of investigation, I finally determined that you are the right candidate."

"How far have you investigated?"

"I found out everything I needed."

"..."

"Well... Indeed, if you rely on the legendary divine eye, no matter how clever the disguise is, it will become clumsy. At the same time, I sincerely hope that you are telling the truth - I am very happy to send you

Recommended to His Majesty so that you can better display your talents."

"My talent? No, no, no...it's the power of God."

"Ah, your statement is more appropriate. I am too ignorant. But with the power of the gods, you can undoubtedly become the sharp blade of the empire and bring glory to the empire."

"..."

"What do you think? I can agree to all your reasonable requests."

"Let me tell you, you are obviously a murderer, but you still want to bribe me? It won't work. Let's get back to the topic."

"You don't know the whole story, so you make this judgment. In your eyes, I killed two innocent people, but in my eyes, I was just preparing the necessary victims for a struggle."

"...I don't understand what you are saying."

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you much information, but please believe that their death is one of the conditions for victory, and their death can be exchanged for a more noble life."

"Victory or not...what does it have to do with me?"

"There is indeed no stake for you, but you and I are both pawns on the chessboard. We can only know our position and do our part."

"What's your job?"

"What you should do now is stand by and watch."

"Well...well, that's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"There was a time when I regarded you as a perfect good person, so I tried my best to handle the case so as not to live up to your expectations, but in the end I found that I was being led around... in vain.

It was a waste of all my enthusiasm."

"I regret and apologize for this. Although I am not a perfect person, I am definitely not indifferent. I see your efforts. Your unique insights are often mentioned in the investigation report of the police officer.



"Have you even read Manda's investigation report?"

"Yes, she is the only police officer who volunteered to assist you in handling the case, which also attracted my attention. Haha... It must be due to your personal charm."

"Stop saying nice things. In the final analysis, it is not your vicious methods that have caused a series of tragedies."

"Tragedy? Forgive me that I cannot agree with this definition. I did not do these things because of my own selfish desires. Just like you who initially took over the case, I also have tasks that must be completed and people that I cannot let down. Moreover, from another perspective

From a certain perspective, I am also a victim, but I am willing to do it - this is the truth."

"..."

"I am not forcing you to cover up the truth, but the harm of publishing the truth outweighs the benefits. You have to cover it up. Please consider the overall situation."

"...Anyway, even if I want to do something, I don't have the ability."

"You don't have to blame yourself."

"Are you really not afraid that the truth will be revealed one day?"

"No, I never think that the truth can be concealed for a long time, but what I am sure of is that even if the truth is exposed one day, it will be too late. By then the truth will be worthless, and the insiders including you will not

will be implicated in any way."

"......?"

"Whether it is an illusion or the truth, it can only be known by people with enough power. Otherwise, the situation of 'confusing falsehood with truth' will not exist, right?"

"Hey, you mean...this is a matter for nobles?"

"..."

"Then this guy...what are you going to do?"

I pointed at Xue, who was sitting aside and saying nothing.

"She will be the third victim, and you should understand - the chance of her surviving is zero."

"Well..."

"In three days, she will be sentenced to death. As for the execution date... let it be set on the last day of winter. I don't like to delay the task for too long. All the finishing work will be done before the new year.

It’s over, I promise you.”

"That's so easy to say."

"Oh? Are you sympathizing with her? Haha, you are too young. Young people always like to squander their kindness, but don't forget that she is a demon and will be executed sooner or later."

"No, I just think your statement is a bit cruel. The demons are a bunch of damn guys, this is irrefutable."

"Well! You are a wise person."

That angular face showed a kind expression.

"Thank you for choosing the right approach. From now on——"

"Huh? Who said I want to help you?"

I frowned:

"I will definitely do my best to prevent you from doing evil again~~"

"You..."

"Yes, the demons deserve to die because they kill innocent people indiscriminately, but in other words, what's the difference between you, the mastermind behind the two murders, and the demons? It's just an extra noble title~~"

"As I said, I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to understand your earlier rhetoric. If you kill someone, you kill someone. If you deserve punishment, you must be punished."

"It seems that you have made up your mind to reject me."

"I've provoked you to this point, so I can't regret it."

"Haha, I don't want to hurt unrelated people, so I can still give you a chance to change your mind temporarily."

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, but I still want to give it a try - you don't mind, right? After all, a dispensable person like me can't do much."

"Then why did you...?"

"I said, I want to give it a try, that's all."

I heard a sigh.

"Your attitude gives me a headache. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn... You must know that your actions will cause extra trouble to many people. This is no joke."

"Hey, please don't use the tone of talking to a child to advise me."

"...I now doubt whether you have divine gifts, because if you really have divine eyes, you will realize how meaningless your actions are."

"Whatever you think."

"Since you still refuse to accept my suggestion, I have to remind you: it is not worth standing up for the dying demons. You are not an unfettered person."

"..."

"You should think about it carefully. You don't have to give me an answer right away. I'm looking forward to your temporary change of mind after three days."

He seems to be smiling.

"It's like looking forward to the snow melting in spring."

"...I will be ready, Lord."

In the dark and silent room, I couldn't even hear my own voice clearly.
