"Why," Alice suddenly spoke in the silence, "Why must we go?"

This sentence made everyone's eyes focus on her, but the blonde girl seemed to have not realized it, or deliberately avoided their gaze, just stared straight at the empty wine glass in her hand, playing casually, sometimes spinning from the left to the right, and sometimes spinning from the right to the left, casually saying: "Since that person named Carson Borg doesn't want you to participate in this operation, why don't you listen to him honestly? There is no need to do this, right?"

This sentence sounds like nothing wrong, but it is a bit out of place to say it in the current situation, just as if Alice had never paid attention to the content of the conversation between the two.

Ringer couldn't help but look at her, and Miche replied calmly: "I've said that Brother Carson has his reasons, but we also have our own reasons. This is not a battle that has nothing to do with us."

"There are many battles related to yourself in this world, but not every battle must be participated in in person, right?" Alice still didn't look up, but just said on her own, giving people the feeling that she was not talking to Miche, but she seemed to be talking to herself: "Just like you ashes guerrillas fighting against the invaders to liberate the Anthers area, such a battle can be said to be closely related to everyone on this land, right? But not everyone will join you, can you say that those people are wrong?"

The question was a little deeper, which made Miche think for a while before slowly answering: "They are not wrong. It is true that not everyone must fight for themselves. But at least, my companions and I are not that kind of people."

"Even if you participate in the war, you may not be able to change the situation of the battle. The victory or defeat of this battle does not depend on your strength." Alice said. This is something everyone knows. The main force of the ashes guerrillas led by the Eagle of Gray Hill and other temporary alliances are the backbone of this operation. Moreover, Linger also knew that when she handed over the confidential information of the 17th Legion to Carson Borg, the situation of the battle was completely controlled by the man. In this case, whether Miche and his companions participated in the war would have little impact on the situation.

But the young man still respects the choices of these children because he understands their feelings, and Alice seems to not understand them yet.

"It has nothing to do with victory or defeat."

The person who answered was not Miche, but Kadora. Her weak tone revealed an extremely firm determination that was inconsistent with her appearance: "Some battles are not participated in for victory or defeat, but because we have reasons for fighting."

Do you have to fight if you have a reason to fight?

Alice didn't understand very much. She finally raised her head and her confused gaze fell on the girl. Seeing her quietly looking at her, there was no doubt in her pale green pupils, only clear curiosity and thoughts, she couldn't help asking, "But, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Kadora asked back with her head tilted.

"die."

Alice used one word to convey the heaviest mood. For some reason, when asked about the game console and cassette, the girl who was not sad when she was asked about it, suddenly felt a little lost: "I have a friend, she... she is a very powerful person, she can do everything she does, and she will definitely win the battle if she wants to win. But she once said in person that she is a very afraid of death, afraid of seeing others die in front of her, but she looks powerless, so she has been resisting the battle. The same is true for you? Even if you already have the courage to sacrifice yourself and fearless of your own death, will you not be afraid and painful when you see your companions die in front of you? War will definitely die. No matter who dies, another person will be sad for him, so I think, can you not fight?"

She asked carefully: "Isn't it good to stay in Tianxin Church? Metien and I will accompany you, and you can listen to the teachings of Goddess, rest and play as you do now. Don't you think the game is fun too? It will make you happy, and the battle brings nothing more than sacrifice. Oh, by the way! As long as you are willing to stay, I will repair the cassette immediately, so that you can play the games I made by myself. They are very special, and there is absolutely no second one!"

She looked at the girl with anticipation, but after thinking about it, Cardora just asked, "So, Miss Alice, what happened to your friend?"

Alice was stunned for a moment.

But everyone else, including Linger, had heard that the friend she was talking about was Shino, a knight who held victory but also accompanied by sacrifice. Her life was chased by countless deaths. Her brilliant ideals were buried with the tombstones, like armor accumulated dust in a secret room, but eventually regained the heart of an old man. At that time, she realized that although victory was always accompanied by sacrifice, sacrifice was by no means just for victory, but for things after victory.

When Themis in the Heavenly Realm fought with the dark witch Carapos, Alice stopped Shino from going to fight because she didn't want to see anyone sacrifice. However, her stopping did not have any effect. Even if it wasn't for Shino, there would always be someone who died in the battle. This fact made the genius player feel extremely painful. Now she used Shino as an example to try to convince Kadora, but she did not fail to convince herself again. Perhaps her reason told herself that you made a wrong decision, but subconsciously she still felt that what she did at that time was right?

Fate is always contradictory and opposing. Everyone is in pain in the gap of choice. Only a few people can directly swing their swords to cut off the tangled ball of thread like the emperor in ancient legends, without being troubled by all kinds of distracting thoughts.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is unknown whether Alice can become such a person, but at least, Sino has done it-

"She picked up the gun again."

Ringer answered the question in place of Alice: "Defeated the fateful enemy, cut off the family's grudges, safeguarded the glory of the knights, and then embarked on a journey again, vowing to fight for more people who are suffering. I think she is no longer afraid of death, she is just a little sad."

"Then I'm the same."

Cardora raised her face and smiled loudly: "Miss Alice's words make sense. Fighting will definitely be sacrificed, right? Even if it's not today, who can tell the future exactly? But I have Mitch, Brother Carson and Sister Regina, and everyone is with me. So, even if one day I'm going to die, or watch someone die, I won't be very scared, it's just possible-"

She smiled and said, "It's just a little sad."

"Cadora..." Miche looked at her partner who had always been, pursed her lips slightly. Even he didn't know that such complicated thoughts were hidden in the girl's heart. However, Cadora has always been like that, and she will only show her quiet and obedient side in front of everyone. Perhaps she doesn't want her mood to affect the mood of the people around her.

Until today, the friend Alice and Linger mentioned resonated with her, and she was finally willing to express her feelings.

"If possible," the girl whispered: "I hope one day I will let me see that knight."

"Of course," Ringer replied: "She will be very happy."

Speaking of this, his expression was a bit strange. Think about it carefully, does Shino have a characteristic that is easy to arouse the admiration of little girls. Kuroai from the small town of Regram has admired "Sister" since he was a child, and he kept working hard with her as his goal, and even formed the so-called Saint Guard; and Kadora in front of him developed a favorable impression of Shino without seeing him and only hearing about his deeds.

What a sinful girl.

The young man, who was also seriously guilty, thought without any self-knowledge.

"Since that's the case!" Metien suddenly patted his cheek, cheered up, clenched his fists and said, "Then I won't preach you today! Let's have fun together!"

As soon as this said, it shocked the audience. As hardcore, Leticia and Xiemi naturally raised their hands to support each other without hesitation. Of course, it may also be because they were just playing tricks. Miche, Cadora and others were quite moved, but they were a little embarrassed, thinking that it was too sorry for the goddess to do so. As for Sister Livia, she looked at Linger at the first time. After all, he was the parent, and Metien's action was tantamount to Letticia shouting in front of the countess, or Xiemi shouting in front of the boss's wife that I should not do chores for the hotel. The final outcome was probably not very good.

But this time, she miscalculated.

Linger did not criticize her sister's approach, and even expressed her agreement: "Indeed, since you can't come to Tianxin Church for the next period of time, then take this opportunity to have fun. As for the preaching, well, I think there will be many opportunities in the future."

"Okay!"

With the permission of his brother, Mettyn ​​cheered and couldn't wait to pull the two friends to the game area. As for the others, after looking at each other, they quickly put down their reserve, followed in a noisy manner, and began to enjoy the fun of the game. For a moment, Tianxin Church restored the lively atmosphere when Linge first entered the door. As for Alice's question, it seemed that the children were thrown away. After all, the problem that may be very entangled for some people is only one answer from beginning to end.

"Where are you, Alice?"

Linger withdrew her gaze from them, looked at the genius player who was still in a daze, and asked, "Do you want to play together? Or, how about the battle game we were going to play before? Speaking of which, since we left Tianxin Church, we haven't played the game together for a long time, right? Remember your promise?"

promise?

Alice was slightly stunned, and then quickly realized that it was in a dark and cold hall surrounded by countless steel and glass machines. The genius player made a promise to the young man. She said that she would definitely become the best genius player in the universe, and then, let all stories lead to a happy and happy ending.

However, with the passing of that girl, the ending was not fulfilled from the beginning, and the so-called promise naturally turned into a joke.

As for the memories of playing games together, Alice had long been thrown into an unknown corner. In the past, for her, games were always a happy thing, she could immerse herself in it, enjoy it carefreely, and even if she had any worries, she would soon forget it. But when games were no longer games and reality began to replace people's dreams, she found that only regrets and pain were left in the end. Just as she didn't understand why the children could still enjoy the game happily even though she knew that she was about to set foot on the battlefield and life and death were unpredictable. She wanted to say that it was wrong. The happiness of games should not be mixed with realistic factors, and things that would only make people sad.

But judging from everyone's reaction, maybe the wrong person is actually himself?

Have the genius players lost the ability to get happiness from the game?

I have to say that this is the ironic thing in the world.

She was so excited that she sighed, then shook her head slowly, and rejected Linger's invitation: "Sorry, I'm not in a good mood now. I want to go back to the hotel to rest, goodbye."

After saying that, she got up and walked outside the Tianxin Church.

"No, no," Gloria, who had been eyeing her for a long time, raised her hand quickly, just like a good student in class who was eager to answer questions: "I can play games with you, Linger!"

"Will you learn not to shut up at this time, little fool Gloria?" Bai Ye in the consciousness space couldn't help but scold her, but there was no sign of being angry. After all, as she said, Gloria was a little fool, and idiots couldn't learn to look at the atmosphere.

Linger didn't care about Gloria's interruption, but looked quietly at Alice's departure back, and suddenly felt a little lonely. But this loneliness was not because she was not understood, but on the contrary, because she could not understand others. The memories she lost were too long. For Alice, life began when she came into contact with the game. Now, if she lost the game, she had nothing.

And what can I do for her?

"This won't work, Linger."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my ears, and I said to him in a teasing tone: "Be stronger when dealing with girls? Well, especially those who are too accommodating to others in normal times, and suddenly become strong, most girls cannot resist."

So, a genius player is also a girl?

Linger made a decision, no longer hesitated, walked towards Alice, and suddenly reached out her hand the moment she was about to step out of the church gate, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back. Then, under the blond girl's astonished gaze, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, showing a smile that the young man had never had before, and it seemed to have some similarities with a certain Alchemist lady: "You said you want to become a cosmic genius player."

"Since that's the case, don't rush to leave."

"Let's stay and play games with me."
