Since it's dangerous, let's send him away...she said to herself.
In fact, there is a more permanent way to destroy the thing that poses a threat... She should have chosen this way, if it had been before today.
What is it that is disturbing me?
She didn't know... the road leading to the [Gate] controlled by the high priest was long. As the two walked side by side, she suddenly had a ridiculous idea, hoping that this road could go on like this.
.
That way, she wouldn't be able to know the true thoughts of things, and she wouldn't have to know the true thoughts of things... She doesn't want to know the true thoughts of things.
She was not frightened by her thoughts.
"I am a despicable person." She said looking at the young guard in front of her.
The boss said that he had never met anyone who was not despicable at all, including himself in the past.
Yamanlana thought for a while and said, "Maybe this can be considered a complete person."
She hopes to become a complete person. At this time, the light of her soul flickers in the boss's field of vision, like a candle in the wind.
Then, they arrived at their final destination [Gate].
…
…
The high priest is here, holding the "Scale of Good and Evil" in both hands, as if he has long been sure that Yamanlana will come to him.
"Yaman Lana, you did not disappoint me." The high priest's voice was so gratifying.
Yamanlana was sure of one thing, that is, the high priest did not see the young guard Ibn, including her, and could not see his presence at this time.
It's obvious that this journey has been with me, and it's not an illusion... Why does it always disappear suddenly when needed?
Just like when he threw his mother's relics to the pharaoh of the kingdom, he suddenly disappeared...always when needed.
"But you let me down." Yamanlana took a deep breath. Maybe he didn't really disappear, but was still observing...looking at herself with his eyes, in order to get the answer.
"What do you care about?" The high priest had extraordinary powers of observation. At this time, he noticed Yamanlana's distraction. He couldn't help but frowned, "Yamanlana, this reminds me of
Your mother... She was like this too, but when she had another emotion in her heart, she would always look like this. You are so similar."
"Then my queen mother, have you been disappointed?" Yamanlana asked calmly, walking into the high priest step by step.
The so-called [door] does not exist as an entity. It may be just a strange energy that requires the high priest to use special means to make the [door] appear. At best, this place is just an empty house with nothing.
Just like it is between gods and sins, it is always so quiet, so quiet that you can hear your breathing and heartbeat clearly. If there was no light here, maybe a normal person wouldn't be able to stay here for a day.
"All my love and expectations were given to her."
This is the high priest's answer.
"She turned into a giant beast, right in front of my eyes!" Yamanlana shook her head and said: "Right in front of my eyes, my father killed my mother and queen with his own hands, and then she turned into a giant beast before me.
His face turned to sand."
"This was an accident, Yaman Lana." The high priest opened his hands and said: "As an [instrument], your mother was ultimately unable to defeat the desire in her heart... I originally thought that after having a complete life, your mother It will become a perfect [vessel], but her love for you exceeded the thought of saving, and she became selfish, and selfishness swallowed it up. But I don’t regret letting your mother have a complete life, because she was born You are even better... Yaman Lana, you are the best candidate to become the [instrument]."
"You are wrong, I am not perfect at all." Yamalana laughed at herself: "After so many years! You took me away from the City of the Sun, you let me live in the outside world, and you let me have the identity of Claudia , you let me go back and forth between the two worlds... one side is the world of civilization and freedom, and the other side is the world where death is always a companion at every step! Do you know that every time I come back from the outside world, it is so cruel to me? , how many times, I don’t even want to come back!”
"No, this is the real thing, facing difficulties and fighting for lofty ideals..." The high priest's eyes revealed a fiery light, "Only a [vessel] with firm belief can become its perfect container in the scales. You have done well every time you can resist the temptation of the outside world and come back. Yaman Lana, you have always done well, you are just a little bit behind. But it doesn't matter, this experience will make you Even closer to perfection.”
"In that case, why do you want me to leave again this time..." Yamanlana sneered: "Isn't this contradictory?"
The high priest said calmly: "As long as you are safe, as long as the scales are still there, as long as you can become a [weapon], the City of the Sun will usher in a day of rebirth. Yaman Lana, the process of growing up is always accompanied by failures and setbacks. , accept them, defeat them, you will become more perfect... The City of the Sun is just a breeding ground for you, no matter how many I can create. You have proven that you have a strong enough will to resist everything. Temptation, so what you need to experience next is despair...even greater despair."
She suddenly felt strange to this man.
I don’t know since when, this person has replaced the pharaoh of the kingdom in her heart... since the pharaoh personally killed the queen on one side?
She didn't know, she just knew clearly that when she passed through the magical [door] and became an ordinary girl named Claudia, living in the prosperous and civilized world outside, she and this man There is a father-daughter relationship.
Xie Jiatu and Claudia... made her think for a time that everything in the City of the Sun was just a fairy tale she heard when she was a child, something she imagined in her mind.
"Isn't this contradictory?" Yaman Lana shook her head: "Since you let me know that this is just an arrangement... you can't achieve the effect of the experiment at all. I don't understand how you, who brought me into the civilized world, can Make such a stupid mistake."
The high priest said: "It's very simple, because I need you to come here... It's enough to come here, Yaman Lana, I said, you did a good job, because you brought what I need to me In front of me."
"I don't understand." Yamanlana couldn't help but frowned.
The high priest took a step back and reached out to hold down a brick on the wall behind him... A rumble sounded, and the door behind Yaman Lana was closed directly at this moment.
She subconsciously felt uneasy.
At the same time, the floor began to crack... and somewhere in the cracked place, something was pushing a huge circular tube container up!
Yamanlana's pupils shrank instantly, and a blank state began to occupy her brain... She suddenly took two steps back because of fear!
The cylindrical container in front of her... The container in front of her, immersed in the light blue liquid, turned out to be a naked body... her own body!
"She...she's the one from outside?" Yamanlana said subconsciously: "You...you arrested her too?"
"No, she is still outside." The high priest said calmly: "She is still outside working hard to command the crusade to deal with the rioting beast. Because of a relationship with a man who I admire but is unwilling to cooperate with me, under normal procedures,
The longest day of night has come early; now."
"Then she is..." Yamanlana looked at the body in the container in horror.
She suddenly remembered the question of the young guard Iben... After seeing the people in the pool, Iben asked her if she was also in the pool. She said no.
"This is the real you, Yaman Lana." The high priest smiled slightly and said: "Of course, it can also be the real Claudia. Whether it is you or the one outside, you are just a part of her."
Yamanlana's expression suddenly became excited, she drew her gun... and fired at the container crazily, so fiercely.
But bullets could not break the surface of the container... The naked body in the container seemed to have no intuition, and Yaman Lana's hands began to tremble without knowing when.
She couldn't accept a thing that she was not the real one. The one who was directing the battle outside was not a part of her. She was actually a part of the real one.
They are actually all part of the body in this container...replication.
"Soon." The high priest waved his hand at this time, and a flash of light suddenly burst out from the [Scale of Good and Evil] in his hand... The flash of light actually trapped and locked Yamanlana directly, making her unable to move, "Very soon.
Soon you... or Claudia will be able to do it. But by then, she will have more perfect potential as a [device]."
"Don't come here... you are not the high priest I know." Yamanlana's face was full of horror: "You are not the father, you are not him... who are you! You are not him!"
"I said, no matter where I am, I will always have this identity." The high priest walked in front of Yaman Lana, stretched out his hand to touch her face, and said softly: "Those days in the outside world were also my most beautiful days.
Happy days... Yaman Rana, my daughter."
Deception, betrayal, anger, despair... Hatred, in her heart at this moment, the level of grief was even far greater than when the high priest framed her in front of everyone and turned her into a giant beast.
"Why...at this time, you want to mention..."
"Let you keep the last bit of fantasy and hope in your heart." The priest smiled and said: "Then let it be shattered."
As he spoke, the high priest raised his hand, and Yamanlana felt a stinging dagger coming from her abdomen, as the high priest's hand pierced into her body.
"I need to carve out your soul, Yamanlana." The high priest said softly: "It has already grown enough."
"I...what the hell..."
"Of course..." The high priest gently held her head and murmured in a low voice: "My favorite adopted daughter."
Her eyes gradually lost their luster, as if they had lost their soul and turned into an empty shell.
A smile appeared on the high priest's face... But his smile suddenly solidified. He felt something suddenly heat up the scale in his hand, and he suddenly turned around!
I saw a young man wearing the uniform of a palace guard appearing next to the cylindrical container.
The young man was pressing his palms on the surface of the cylindrical container at this time...looking at the high priest, "So it turns out that soul division and soul regeneration are just like the broken tail of a gecko, it can grow back soon...
It’s incredible, this [Scale of Good and Evil].”
The high priest's eyes changed from surprise to vigilance, and then became calm... He frowned and said, "You are the guy who seduced the Pharaoh into alienation in the hall... How do you know that you can liberate him by gouging out his left eye?"
The young guard shook his head and said: "Compared to this, don't you think it's a pity, the high priest?"
"What a pity?" The high priest smiled casually, but quietly pointed one side of the scale in his hand at the young guard in front of him.
He seemed not to have noticed the little action of the high priest, and thought for a moment and said: "This is obviously a beautiful soul that can shine in the dark sky like a star, but why... why should it be polluted and completely fall into the abyss?
Among them. You see, it is no longer shining. It has changed from a gem to an inconspicuous pebble. It is really a pity."
"There are too many beautiful things." The high priest smiled and said calmly: "But most of the beautiful things are not real. Like glass, they will break when touched. The ugly ones are different. They are the strongest things in the world.
, and it is also the best nutrient.”
The young guard smiled: "His Excellency the high priest's method of cultivating souls is really admirable... Let me introduce myself, I am a traveling businessman from the outside world who specializes in solving problems for customers."
"Then?" The high priest narrowed his eyes slightly.
When the young man waved his hand, the scale in the high priest's hand suddenly became extremely heavy and sank to the floor, almost crushing his palm. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"If you have something you want in your heart, I will sell it to you." The young guard thought for a while and said: "But on the other hand, how about you sell me the scale in your hand and all your [materials]?
.”
But when he heard that the other party wanted Libra, the high priest was not too surprised. But after hearing the [material], his expression could not help but change slightly.
"I don't know what you said." The high priest shook his head.
The young guard stepped back and tapped his finger on the wall... He saw that the surrounding walls were cracking, and at the same time, the floor was also cracking.
I saw cylindrical containers being pushed out one after another from the cracked wall, and the same cylinders were rising one by one on the floor paper... Among these containers, there were naked bodies.
Among them, there are both men and women. Among them, there is even a woman who looks like the little maid Yalian... There are more than fifty in all.
"For the remnant soul in the scale, one [weapon] is probably not enough." The young guard said casually: "That's why so many are needed...even for yourself..."
Among these many containers, there is surprisingly another container, and what is placed inside is the body of the high priest himself...
