On the lawn, three men fell to the ground in different postures.
Corvo was lying on his back, and Bandwagon was lying on his side. Blood spilled from their throats, dispersed in the heavy rain, and seeped into the ground beneath them.
Varina fell in the middle, originally on his back, but after throwing the throwing knife, he fell prone.
He was still alive, but also unable to move.
That knife took away all his physical strength at that time.
…
"What should we do?" Xio felt in a dilemma and asked Forsi beside him for help.
After Corvo fell, she and Fors were stunned.
After she came to her senses, she found three people still lying there on the ground below the window, giving her the illusion that time had stood still for a while.
She once thought that all problems could be solved through arbitration, but this time, the balance in Xio's heart could not be tilted appropriately.
Except for the final blow, Varina's actions were not too excessive in her opinion——
If their status as wild Beyonders were not taken into account, and Luo Huohu broke into the house to commit murder, his actions could be regarded as legitimate self-defense, but at best, it was an over-defense.
As for the last blow, although it was undoubtedly a sin, looking at the way Varina was lying on the ground, I'm afraid it was also his last blow.
Emotionally, she understands.
At both ends of the scale, the weight seems to be different, forming a delicate balance.
While Xio was asking questions, Forsi was also having a fierce ideological struggle.
If you go down to save people, you will undoubtedly be involved in a major case of killing an official extraordinary person. Being wanted is probably the lightest consequence;
But Varina was here to help them, and it was obviously not appropriate to withdraw from the matter now.
Moreover, even if you stand by and watch, you may not be able to stay away from the incident as desired.
Before the two of them could make a decision, Varina moved again on the ground downstairs.
…
After resting for several minutes, Varina finally gathered some strength again.
Using his hands and knees, he crawled to Corvo's side and tried in vain to sniff his breath.
The result is certain.
Several minutes had passed since Corvo was stabbed in the throat. Even if he didn't die immediately, these few minutes would have been enough for him to drown in his own blood.
Varina felt as if he was about to suffocate. He took a big breath, but he still had no feeling of breathing, as if all the air around him had been sucked out.
The only emotion left in his heart was regret.
Varina bowed, hugged Corvo's young face that was starting to turn pale, and cried silently.
If he talked about the accidental killing of three innocent homeless people last time, he could still comfort himself with some lame excuses such as "It was another me who did it", "They may not be good people", "They didn't live long". , if you want to alleviate the guilt in your heart, this time is obviously different.
He had certainly killed a vicar with his own hands.
The facts are clear and there is no escape!
Even though it was the opponent who attacked first, and even though he did not realize the opponent's identity before taking action, this was no excuse.
He knew that the "Assassin" path tended to be negative, and he didn't want to become a saint, but before becoming an Extraordinary, he set a bottom line for himself——
Never cause irreparable harm to good people.
It is difficult to define "good people" and there is no clear standard, but no matter what, the punishment substitutes, or official extraordinary people, can be said to be "good people" worthy of respect!
Clearly, he had crossed the line he had set for himself.
Varina lay on her side next to Corvo's body, not wanting to escape, nor having the ability to escape, so she could only force herself to find a solution.
He didn't notice that a little bit of bright blue light was gathering towards Corvo's chest.
…
Seeing Varina's actions, the balance of arbitration in Xio's heart finally shifted, and Forsi also ended his ideological struggle.
"Let's go help him..."
Xio was only halfway through what she said when Forsi interrupted her.
"Hurry, before the police arrive," Fors grabbed Xio and strode towards the door, "Someone must have called the police."
The two of them ran towards the stairs, and Xio quickly left Forsi behind.
This was not the first time that she and Forsi had cooperated. There was no need to discuss many things, and it was the same this time.
She knew that even if she ran ahead, she might not be able to arrive before Forsi.
Soon, the first floor arrived.
Forsi "opened the door" directly and walked through the wall, while Xio had to go out of the door and go around from the outside.
…
On the Backlund Bridge, a three-person team from the "Mechanical Heart" was riding a carriage to a certain location in the Jowood District.
They are hunting for a cunning "hunter" who committed repeated crimes in the St. George area three months ago.
Two months ago, they found evidence that the "hunter" left the St. George area, posing an even greater obstacle to their pursuit.
They shared the information with the Beyonders of the other two major churches, and soon learned that the "Hunter" had murdered a new member of the Nighthawks in the North District.
After two months of investigation, there were two things that the team leader most wanted to happen.
One is the good news that the "Hunter" was caught by mistake, and the other is that they can meet Ikanser Bernard, the deacon of the "Machine Heart".
Almost everyone in the Heart of Machine team knows a lot of scandals about Deacon Ikanser.
Of course, this is not the reason why they want to meet Ikanser. What they really want to meet is the source of the scandal - the magic mirror who calls himself "Arrods".
Fed up with the long pursuit, they hope to get answers from the magic mirror and catch the cunning and arrogant "hunter" directly.
For this reason, the cost of rumors seems to be nothing.
Then this morning, they met Deacon Ikanser as they wished.
At that time, the magic mirror happened to be in the hands of Deacon Ikanser, and he didn't mind the team leader asking questions to it. He just reminded him to think about it before asking.
The team leader said that he had already thought about it. If the problem was really bad, he could still choose to receive the punishment of lightning strike.
So, in the profound eyes of Deacon Ikanser, the team leader got a location from the magic mirror.
Afterwards, when faced with the question "Do you know what it feels like to be stepped on the shoulders and get on the carriage, only to be criticized for not being stable enough?", he chose to accept the lightning strike without thinking, and then received strange looks from his teammates.
…
On the masonry wall, a faint blue, insubstantial, fuzzy door suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The next moment, Forsi walked out of the door.
Varina was near the "open door" position. When she saw Forsi approaching quickly, she quickly stopped her and shouted hoarsely:
"Don't come here, you and Xio leave quickly."
"Everything here is done by me and has nothing to do with you."
"You will be implicated if you come to help!"
At this time, Xio also came around from the side of the apartment building and also heard these words.
"How long have you been thinking about this? Since we are here, we have already thought about it. It is just implicated. We don't care!" she shouted.
Varina then replied: "But I care!"
Hugh Forsi ignored his words and stepped forward quickly, intending to take Warina away.
At this moment, a female voice sounded and said in a weird accent:
"Ouch, what a 'but I care', am I disturbing you?"
