It sounds very powerful, but Alice breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay if it's not a Skaven, at least the style of this world has not changed.
Metien was very concerned about a familiar name mentioned in Xie Mi's words, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "You just said...vegetable garden?"
"That's right!"
Semi clenched the basket tightly and said angrily: "The followers of the Grass Garden colluded with the Night Watch. After they exterminated most of the aliens in Rosting City, they still wanted to kill them all, so they artificially created a plague.
It spread in the darkness of the city, causing countless innocent lives to die, including not only aliens, but also wild animals such as rats, cats, or pigeons. Under the infection of the plague, they could not rest in peace after death, but transformed into a kind of
Forms similar to the undead continue to be controlled by these people, closely monitoring every corner of the city, looking for traces of aliens. Such an approach simply blasphemes the spirituality of life and pollutes the purity of the soul!"
She snorted, and for the first time the weak girl showed such obvious disgust: "The pathogenic plague rat in the sewer died in the plague, was transformed into an undead, and became the eyes and ears of the United Order. Now
They have lost any characteristics of life and have become evil, cruel and numb..."
"This is impossible!"
Metien suddenly interrupted her story loudly. When Xie Mi looked at her in surprise, he found that she also clenched her palms. Her petite body trembled slightly, but she mustered up the courage to say word by word: "Infected with the plague."
, harming living beings... It is absolutely impossible for followers of the Garden of Plants to do these things you are talking about!"
Xie Mi was a little at a loss: "I didn't lie to you, Metien..."
Metien also found that his attitude was a little too excited, and his tone softened: "I also believe that you didn't lie to me, Semi. So, could there be something wrong? Believers of the Herb Garden,
I'm definitely not the kind of person you said is indifferent to life... This must be a misunderstanding, right?"
"..."
Xie Mi could only remain silent.
In fact, she likes Metien very much and has a natural closeness to the little girl. Perhaps because of similar personalities, she can see her own reflection in the other person. Despite this, she still cannot say anything against her will to satisfy her little girl.
I have little expectations, and I can’t understand why she must maintain the grass garden.
Only Alice knows why.
After her father passed away due to severe lung disease, the pink-haired little girl has always dreamed of becoming a real doctor to save everyone from suffering from illness, so she worked so hard to obtain the pharmacist qualification certificate. The person she admires most is Hong
Médecins Sans Frontières in the Cross Society, because they abandon the restrictions of nationality, race and ethnicity, have the same kindness and enthusiasm for every sick and injured person, help selflessly without asking for anything in return, they are the only thing in the little girl's heart.
After his father and brother, he is the greatest person.
The Red Cross and Médecins Sans Frontières were established at the initiative of the Herb Garden.
Now someone told her that the people you admire are all fake. Their kindness and enthusiasm are just disguises, and their true colors are cruel and indifferent. They are evil people who deliberately spread plagues in order to persecute innocent aliens and control the carcasses of wild beasts to make them restless.
...How can an innocent girl accept this?
"I once participated in charity volunteer activities organized by the Healer Church."
The girl suddenly said softly.
The Church of the Healer is the headquarters of Plant Garden established in Linville City. This should be what happened before Alice traveled through time.
"They came to the Holy Cross District and the Baishi District to provide free medical services to the residents here. Whether they were homeless people and beggars on the street, or the leprosy and tuberculosis patients that everyone was afraid of, they were very attentive to receive them without showing any disdain.
The smell of these people was not treated differently because of their status... At that time, I was handing them bandages and medicines. Although I was just doing some trivial things, I still felt very happy. So I knew that they were all very happy.
What a very good person, kind, just, passionate..."
"Maybe so."
This time it was Semi's turn to interrupt her. The goblin maid looked quietly into Meridian's eyes. There seemed to be some similar emotion flowing between their eyebrows: "I also believe you don't
You would lie to me, Metien, what you said is true. But what if their 'goodness' is only for humans? We aliens are nothing in their eyes."
"..."
So Metien was speechless.
The atmosphere was suffocatingly silent. Alice looked left and right, and found herself in a dilemma again.
Should you believe Metien? Or believe Shemi?
In fact, there is no contradiction.
Because the world has two colors: black and white at the same time, life can of course have two faces, good and bad, at the same time. They can be kind and good to human beings, as Metien said; they can also be indifferent and treat humans badly, as Shemi said.
Alien cruelty. If the stance is inherently biased, then the emotions are also biased.
"I think..."
She opened her mouth, trying to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, but the sharper and harsher hissing sound that followed covered her voice: "Squeak!
”
The plague rats carrying the pathogen of the plague wandered back into the sewers, making evil and cruel roars. This sound had the terrifying power to pierce the eardrums. Boom! A violent tremor suddenly occurred at the border of the garden, like countless ferocious beasts.
The wild beasts are crashing into the fragile barrier at the same time, trying to tear it apart and destroy it.
The deer spirit in the garden had a premonition of the enemy's approach and turned around and ran away; the vegetables, flowers and even fruits grown in the fields were all in panic, pulling themselves out of the ground one by one, jumping off the branches, and running away in fear; only the stupid ones
The stone gardeners were still standing there, not understanding what had happened.
Boom!
There was another loud noise, and the people in the garden were not given much time to react. Along with the violent shaking of the sky, a ferocious crack suddenly appeared in the line of sight, and spread quickly, like glass being broken, forming a
Staggered spider web-like cracks.
The next moment, the barrier protecting the garden was broken from the outside, and a dozen rats with black hair rushed in through the crack. They were huge in size, with sharp claws and palms, and their dark red eyes lost the look of creatures, but seemed to flash.
With an evil and sneaky light, he glanced at everything around him indifferently, his hairless tail swept through the air like a whip, and when he opened his mouth, he revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth, which seemed to be stained with solidified blood.
They seem to harbor a hatred for all beautiful and living things, so they burst into even more ferocious roars as soon as they appear, and then rampage through the garden, knocking down trees, plowing open ridges, gnawing flowers, and trampling the grass.
, like terrifying beasts raging here, turning everything into a mess.
"I'll wipe it!"
Alice almost stared out of her eyes: "You told me this is a mouse!?"
Their bodies are simply bigger than calves, and their thick and hard hair is like steel armor. If they hit them head-on, they will probably kill people directly.
Could it be that the followers of the Herb Garden are not studying the plague, but the T-virus?
Well, wait.
Is there a possibility that the mouse is not getting bigger, but that it is getting smaller?
Alice realized this belatedly, but it seemed a little late.
The plague rats that broke into the garden had already smelled the breath of the living. They slowly turned their heads and locked a dozen pairs of dark red empty eyes on Alice and others at the same time, making the golden-haired maid couldn't help but shudder.
