The two men just listened to the ceremony silently, playing with the spoons unconsciously in their hands.
Mikael's words seemed reasonable, but her grandfather's words were also correct. These two correct theories kept colliding in her mind, making her even more confused.
She didn't know how she should choose, and Mikael did not continue talking, but chose to end it here. Although others can help everyone with the path they want to take, the final choice still lies in their own hands.
In his opinion, Shi's grandfather is a complete loser. He is actually troubled by such a problem. It's just killing. Killing means killing. My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous. If
If you deny your own behavior, that would be so pitiful.
It's a pity that he is not good at preaching truth to influence others. This is the conclusion he came to after hard work.
But Mikael didn't care about this. He wasn't good at this kind of thing originally, and he didn't need to be good at it.
In his opinion, relying on studying ancient books to cultivate one's moral character and suppress the instinctive urge to kill is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. The life principles about killing were instilled in her by others, and she does not have her own understanding and perception.
We are now facing a fork in the road in life. Choosing the right one will lead to a smooth journey from now on, while choosing the wrong one will lead to a fall into the abyss.
Although the path of life should be chosen by everyone, some people obviously need a little help, and he happened to be generous in lending a helping hand to help the confused girl.
"Okay, I have received guidance from the stars. If you go in that direction, you may gain something special."
Mikael stretched out his hand and pointed in the north direction. Seeing his determined look, he curiously looked up at the night sky, wanting to know how to get inspiration from the stars.
It's a pity that today is a night when the moonlight and starlight are covered by dark clouds, so the stars are destined to be invisible.

"It's really cold today, damn murderer..."
Police Officer Xiao Lin was mumbling and tightening his neck. He had already put on a heavy scarf and cotton coat, but the biting cold wind still made him feel a biting chill, and his body was about to freeze.
Wearing a communicator on their chest, they report every ten minutes to ensure that the streets and alleys of the city are under their control.
The murderer's bad behavior last night was like pouring a bucket of gasoline on the already burning fire. In order to ensure that the murderer was caught before the New Year, all the police were mobilized this time.
They patrol every street and alley, forming an airtight net. As long as the murderer still wants to commit suicide, he will definitely fall into this dragnet.
Patrols were originally supposed to be carried out in teams of two, but the current police force was really stretched thin. However, considering the danger of the murderer, they were allowed to use guns to kill the murderer directly.
Police Officer Xiao Lin had just joined the job not long ago. He did not expect to be involved in such a major case just after joining the job. This made him very excited and vowed to arrest and bring that evil murderer to justice.
It's a pity that the blood in his heart has been cooled down a lot by the cold wind of winter night. He just wants to go home and take a comfortable hot bath and drink a cup of hot tea to warm his body.
"Ahhhh - this damn murderer!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cursed loudly again, wishing that the murderer would appear quickly, capture him neatly, and then everyone would go back to their homes to rest.
While scolding and patrolling like this, Officer Xiaolin felt a lot more comfortable. He walked around a corner in front of him and saw a person standing about ten meters away from him.
Most of the man's body was obscured by the shadows on both sides of the street. All he could see was the green kimono on his body, the tall and slender figure that vaguely looked like a girl's, and the dagger in his hand.
As if she was aware of the gaze behind her, the girl in kimono slowly turned around and stared at Police Officer Kobayashi quietly. Then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a ghostly smile.
【——Serial Murderer!】
After noticing the obvious signs on the girl's body, Officer Xiaolin immediately thought of the murderer described by the witness. Suddenly, thunder seemed to explode in his brain. Without too much hesitation, he immediately touched the one on his waist.
pistol.
But because he was wearing thick cotton gloves, his fingers were not as flexible as before. He simply took off the gloves and threw them to the ground. He held the pistol and aimed at the kimono girl not far away.
"Hold your head with your hands, squat on the ground——!"
Officer Xiaolin shouted loudly and moved forward cautiously. At the same time, he grabbed the communicator on his chest with one hand, preparing to report his findings to others.
But the girl in kimono didn't move, as if she didn't hear his call at all, but the smile on her lips grew stronger, as if she was watching the feeble noise of a mouse.
Suddenly, she moved.
Officer Xiaolin's heart almost reached his throat. He couldn't lock the sight of the pistol on the girl's figure. That kind of speed and agility were beyond what a human could achieve. Instead, he was as agile as a monkey.
Since it can't be locked, it can only be fired predicatively.
Bang, bang, bang, bang—
Every bullet was avoided by the girl deftly. In such a narrow alley, the monkey-like flexibility can be used to the maximum extent.
Officer Xiaolin gritted his teeth and sweat broke out on his forehead. The bullets in his pistol were very limited and he could no longer waste them casually.
However, the distance of ten meters is not too far for the two of them. In just a few blinks, the kimono girl rushed in front of Police Officer Xiaolin, raising the dagger in her hand high, trying to stab him.
chest.
The flow of time seemed to slow down in the eyes of Officer Kobayashi. The crosshair of the pistol was aimed at the kimono girl's torso. At this distance, such a large target could be hit even with his eyes closed.
Bang, bang, bang——
This girl was indeed very beautiful, but he did not show mercy because of it. At this moment of life and death, if he showed mercy, he would probably be the one who died.
The bullet spun out of the hot barrel, penetrated the atmosphere, and left three shallow craters on the asphalt road.
【It actually failed——?!】
He neither heard the dull sound of bullets entering the human body nor smelled the smell of blood. The kimono girl in front of him suddenly disappeared, like a ghost.
There was a shrill sound piercing the air in his ears, and he subconsciously turned his head to look to the right, only to see the kimono girl smiling coquettishly, waving a dagger and stabbing his neck.
At this distance, it was too late to counterattack or dodge. Officer Xiaolin could only watch the dagger pierce his neck, and the bright and warm flowers bloomed, just like the winter night left and spring came.
clang--!
The crisp sound of metal clashing interrupted his fantasy before his death. The dagger in the kimono girl's hand broke, and half of the blade spun and flew out.
