361. Sacrifice

"Sacrifice?"

Luca looked at everything around him. The dust from the explosives solidified in the air. He walked around. In this frame taken from the world, everyone was so vivid.

Galilei and his party were overwhelmed by the huge pressure, and Luca also discovered the culprit of the explosion. The gun in a woman's hand produced ice-colored flames. At this time, she was using another gun to point it at

Holding Colin's head, he seemed to be preparing to kill him.

Luca made a prompt decision, picked up the rifle and shot at Maggie, but something strange happened. He seemed to be just a spirit body and couldn't hold the rifle.

It was like having a nightmare, facing the pursuit of extremely ferocious ghosts, but unable to exert any strength. Even if he caught something, it was just an illusion.

"This is not your power."

"You've also been stopped."

"I took your consciousness out of the universe."

"What you see is the content played on the film reel. You, outside the screen, cannot change the content of the movie no matter what."

The deformed bug that was clinging to Luca had its mouthparts right next to his ear, whispering.

"Taken out of the universe..."

"You just said sacrifice, what did that mean?"

After many attempts, Luka found that what the bug said was true. He could not have any impact on the surroundings. Looking back, he saw that his body was still in the center of the explosion. Although he had not been impacted yet, due to his subconscious overclocking instinct,

, the body was moving backwards, one foot stepped diagonally on the ground, and the other foot was hanging in the air, but he did not fall because he was stopped.

He understood that there was no way to avoid this explosion. Even if his reaction could keep up, it would be impossible for his body to do so.

"Humanity has endless potential."

"There is always an inexhaustible supply of things to sacrifice."

"Friends, relatives, loved ones, body."

"These are just the beginning."

"But you don't have these anymore. You need to sacrifice something better so that you can continue your career."

So said the strange insect.

Luca disagreed. He really couldn't think of anything he could sacrifice, as if nothing was really important.

He thought for a while and said.

"I want to sacrifice everyone in SCT, including Arnold and all the personnel in the combat directory, as well as all the cadres at their summit, the deputy chief, and even the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Can you do it?"

Luka is not afraid of this weird bug. It is an instinctive reaction. Even if it just claimed to be a series of great and arrogant beings, in Luka's eyes, it is just a cunning bug that looks nothing like humans.

Likewise, they are all regarded as lower animals and barbaric beasts.

What Luca never expected was...

"Can."

"It's just that you got the rules wrong. You can't sacrifice things you don't have. You don't own them. They are the purpose. As long as you pay something of equal value, that's it."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

The strange insect asked back.

"etc……"

Originally, Luka just said it in a joking tone, thinking that this was completely impossible. If he could defeat everything by promising something ambiguous, then so many people in the Countermeasure Bureau would have died in the past few years.

, so much effort, what exactly is it for?

"Sacrifice... is death?"

"As long as I pay something of equal value, you can kill them all?"

Luka asked in disbelief.

"You don't understand death."

"It's like you don't understand the universe."

"Yes, they do not exist as far as you are concerned."

"As long as you give something equivalent, they will disappear immediately."

"There is no such organization as SCT anymore."

"You can think about it slowly, the time here is infinite."

"This is absolutely spiritual."

"There is no upper limit."

The monsters respond to whatever they ask for.

"hehe……"

"I don't believe it."

"You have to prove it to me first."

"If we talk about killing the woman with the gun."

“What do I need to sacrifice?”

Luka asked coldly. He faintly heard the sound of the scales of justice shaking, followed closely by the strange insect making a judgment.

"Her equivalent is."

"You need to get on a train at a specific time, find the terrorist carrying the bomb, and then help him blow it up."

So said the strange insect.

"Wait a minute..."

"This matter..."

Even Luka was confused. Although there were some differences, he remembered that it was more than ten years ago. He had hunted down similar criminals, who were also bad guys who installed bombs on the train. At that time, he was in

When removing the leads, my hands lost strength and I was unable to prevent the disaster.

Although he jumped out of the train and escaped, the passengers on the train.

boom!

Maggie was completely backfired by the vision in an instant, and her entire body was covered with flames. However, it did not start burning due to the time interruption. Unlike the paused time, the strange insect used the highest dimension and the highest power to forcibly modify this frame.

, just like stealing the sky and changing the day, this frame was stolen and another frame was forcibly inserted.

"this……"

"What the hell are you?"

It's Luca.

The whole person froze in place.

"I told you."

"Beyond the past, existence, and future."

"You sacrificed something extremely precious, and the thing that is equivalent to her is."

"Part of your soul."

"You have to insist that all the people on that shift are useless in order for it to be beneficial to you."

"I didn't cross you."

"It's that you made a choice before you even knew it."

The monster said coldly.

Luca felt as if he was in an eternal winter ice cave, but in an instant, his terrifying mind, which was infinitely close to the three shackles, returned to normal.

because.

But it’s only a lifetime.

"If I want to eradicate SCT, what is the equivalent cost?"

Luka asked in a daze, because he had learned from the past and thought it was something countless times more terrifying.

I just heard the crisp shaking sound of the scales of justice, which seemed to be level.

"The equivalent of all sct members is."

"Something you can't understand."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"This is the first time you have made such a choice."

The sound of the strange insect's claws rubbing its limbs contained no emotion at all.

"Something beyond comprehension..."

"I do not understand."

"You said the sacrifice must be something I have."

"But I have nothing left, only my life and soul."

"Are you saying that you want to use me as a slave for eternity?"

Luka thought about it and did not make a hasty decision.

"I said it."

"Humanity has endless potential."

"There is always an inexhaustible supply of things to sacrifice."

"Friends, relatives, loved ones, body."

"These are just the beginning."

"You can also become a living dead."

"Becoming a more serious person infected with latent disease."

"You can also fall into deeper and more painful chaos."

"Or..."

I saw Luca's face slowly appearing on the strange insect's chitinous hateful carapace.
