"Rhodes Island will not interfere in this battle against the snow monster."
Amiya's voice echoed in Rhode Island's communication channel, carrying a firmness that was different from her young appearance as usual, but with a rare hint of sadness hidden in it. After hearing this sentence, most of the Rhode Island operators relaxed their tense nerves. Some turned their heads and glanced at Amiya, who was in the command position. Although they were confused, they still put down their hands. arms. Huang stood on the roof behind Amiya, looking at the whites mixed with the Guards Bureau, gritting his teeth and suppressing the anger in his heart.
She was still late.
"Is it almost over?"
The reunion after a long absence did not make Valentine feel too much joy. Looking back on the time spent in Longmen, he only felt tired. Too many unexpected things had happened to him in both the Integration Movement and Longmen, and he had witnessed so many incredible battles that he was no longer surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
How bad could things get? Faust died and Mephistopheles became a useless person. The Snow Monster team entrusted Frost Star to the Phantom Crossbowman to help her get out of here, but he volunteered to stay and block the offensive of the Longmen Guards Bureau. In order to keep their eldest sister and more compatriots away from here, so as not to be caught up and miss the mark.
The Yeti team will die here, which should be the last sad thing today.
But it's just sad.
Maybe in his previous life, when Valentin was still the doctor in front of the mobile phone screen, he might have regretted the deaths of these people. If he were more emotional, he might have squeezed out a few tears. After all, Sashaino and the Yeti team The stories are all touching and worthy of bringing tears to the eyes of the audience.
But now he stands in the world of Terra, standing in front of Chernobog and Dragon Gate, and has successfully become a member of these two cities, participating in the battle against the invasion of the Integration Movement - maybe these two The leader of this city does not regard him as a human being, but after living here for so long, the city itself has treated him as its own child.
So what happened next?
Chernobog was reduced to ruins in the flames, and the Longmen ghetto existed in name only. After leaving Qicheng for so many nights until now, Valentin didn't know how many times he dreamed about that war, as if turning back time made him stand in front of the ruins again. His eyes were reddened by the flames, leaving hot tears, but they were quickly evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only two thin tears; explosions, screams, laughter, and wails exploded like firecrackers. into his ear canal, and the overflowing pain, despair and madness that could not be covered were constantly impacting his brain, seemingly never ending...
The Qicheng War has become a knot in his heart, and it is difficult to untie. Because of this, Valentine's views on the Integration Movement are much more extreme than those of most three-dimensional doctors. "The Integration Movement deserves to die" was the most common thought in his mind before. After all, humans are creatures with emotions, and a large part of their judgments about things will be influenced by emotions. Especially after personally experiencing those shocking events, it will be more difficult for humans to think rationally, even if they know that thinking this way is biased. Yes, people will also selectively ignore those things that are wrong and put on colored glasses to view the world.
However, time will dilute people's emotions and make people more rational. After meeting Froststar and Anfiya, Valentine's views on the Integration Movement also changed. At least he no longer denies all members of the Integration Movement as usual, but for those who bear this name, He was still a little disgusted.
Are the memories of Faust and Mephistopheles touching? Of course it's touching, but can this be a shield for them to kill? cannot. Mephistopheles won't talk about it. Faust, as this madman's personal bodyguard, said that he didn't point his crossbow at ordinary people. Valentine didn't believe it, let alone that he successfully captured the Lower City Guards Bureau. The attention of the Longmen Guard Bureau helped those guys in the slums open a gap for the integration movement to invade Longmen. Can you say that Faust did not kill a police officer from the Guard Bureau?
Valentin was no longer a bystander; he was involved in the fight and on the opposite side of the integration movement. For Valentine, Faust's death was a good thing, and his tragic past only made him feel a little sad.
But that's about it.
It may sound a bit heartless to say this, but it is the truth.
As for the Yeti team, Valentine had a pretty good impression of them. Most of them came from the descriptions of Froststar and Anfiya, especially the scene about the execution of thugs, which even gave him a kind of Yeti. There is a strong possibility that the squad will become a member of Rhode Island.
But focusing on reality...
"They won't join Rhode Island because of Froststar."
The scene in front of him was frozen again, and black lines covered the entire world. In this shadow, Jiao Zhengyu stood beside Valentin and watched the battle not far ahead with him, describing the sighing reality like a bystander who had abandoned his emotions.
"Froststar said that he had doubts about your Rhodes Island because Broken Bones died in Amiya's hands. Even your angry explanation at that time did not make this snow monster princess shake her mind at all."
"She said that the Patriot is an old stubbornness, but where is her tact? She is also full of sharp edges and corners like a piece of Originium ice crystal."
Jiao Zhengyu patted Valentin on the shoulder and motioned for him to find a place to rest. But this was a slum street, and they could only take a few steps back and sit on a staircase, sitting side by side and looking at the chaos in front of them.
In this shadow where time has lost all meaning, only one place still shines with light - the wings behind Raphael and the halo above her head become particularly dazzling here, and the light is several times stronger than in the real world. times.
Raphael is so dazzling in the spiritual world, a girl full of mysteries and surprises, not ordinary, but different.
"Hey, hey," Jiao Zhengyu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Valentin's eyes. He tilted his head and looked at the dazed little dragon man: "We haven't seen each other for two months. As for seeing it like this? I'm almost drooling. When I came down, why didn’t I see you being so infatuated with Xing Yihuang?”
"Ah? Ah, ah."
Valentine shook his head, and his thoughts flew back from the shining angel. Although Jiao Zhengyu said drooling was an exaggeration, he still subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth and gave an awkward smile to the white-haired Feilin next to him.
"Sorry for getting distracted."
Today, Jiao Zhengyu did not wear formal clothes as usual, but put on a black summer dress, which looked similar to Ansel's skin.
"Then did you listen to what I just said..."
A three-dimensional universe, dozens of galaxies, hundreds of thousands of planets, tens of thousands of agents, this is the most stupid...
"You said it's impossible for the Snow Monster Team to join Rhode Island, right? Because of the reason Froststar said."
Valentin still remembered some of the exchange just now. Although he was distracted, he still remembered the key points of the words.
"Yes. Moreover, they will sacrifice here today for the sake of their friends behind them."
Jiao Zhengyu said this fact in a very plain tone.
"Don't you want to save them?"
"think……"
"But I can't save it."
It was as if a heavy stone had fallen to the ground.
Valentin looked at the battlefield ahead and told this helpless fact.
"Say whatever you have to say, maybe it will make you feel better."
The powerlessness against reality will turn into pressure and accumulate in people's hearts. It will be much better to find someone to talk to. In his previous life, Valentine didn't have a good friend who could cry freely while chatting. Now in the world of Terra, Jiao Zhengyu is willing to help this little dragon man with some psychological counseling.
Not only is his mind-reading ability able to alleviate some of Valentin's feelings of repulsion from speaking his mind, but also because he has now become Valentin's best friend in the Terra world, second only to Raphael and Xing Yihuang. .
"Yes……"
Valentin lowered his head and moved his gaze away from Jiao Zhengyu's face. His eyelids were blinking, as if he was not used to the feeling of saying what was in his heart.
"Although I hate the Integrated Movement, and the Yeti Squad is also a member of the Integrated Movement, I don't really hate them."
"Of course, there is still some resistance. After all, these guys fought me back and forth on the ruins. If I hadn't turned into Theresa, I really don't know how to deal with these snow monsters. Faced with it, I still have some resistance. No matter how calm you are, you will not be unfazed by someone who once wanted to kill you, right?"
"But in terms of good or bad, the Snow Monster Team is definitely not bad people. They..."
Valentin recalled the memories on the snowfield that Froststar had told, the mob execution scene witnessed by Anfya, and the conversations he had with the snow monsters in the game plot.
"They are just knives in Tallulah's hands, a group of poor people who were kept in the dark."
"The integration movement has been exploited by Tallulah. This is an undisputed fact."
Jiao Zhengyu stretched out his arms and pressed his hands on the ground behind him to support his leaning body. His eyes moved back and forth between the Guards Bureau operators and Rhodes Island operators, observing these people who had been imprisoned in place for a short time. statue.
No matter how perfect human beings appear, when their bodies are controlled by emotions, their expressions will always be interesting. The snow monsters who are fighting fiercely with the Guards Bureau are a good example. Their appearance is so exaggerated that they can directly take pictures of Yu-Gi-Oh!
You fucking fuck the labor and management.jpg
Just take a screenshot and use it as an emoticon.
"But, being deceived cannot be used as a reason to absolve them of their crimes. The invasion of Chernobog and the invasion of Longmen were crimes committed by these people themselves. Everyone saw it, and only they had to bear the price. "
"The Longmen Guard Bureau is only protecting their own homes. But now that the enemies who destroyed their homes have fled, the Snow Monster Team has stepped forward and actively blocked the enemies for those people. Then they have already stood up and I believe they will do the same. Be mentally prepared for sacrifice."
Does Valentine want to save? think.
Can Valentine be saved? cannot.
Who is the Yeti Squad? No matter how good they are and how many good things they have done in the past, the fact that they are stopping the soldiers of the Longmen Guards Bureau for the integration movement means that they are the enemies of Longmen. As Rhode Island is Longmen's partner, Longmen's enemies are naturally Rhode Island's enemies. Officer Chen agreed that it was enough for them not to interfere in this battle. Now you still want to save these Longmen sinners, is it possible?
Why did Huang desperately try to save those snow monsters in the game plot but finally stopped at the edge of the battle? Because the snow monster was already fighting with Longmen at that time. If she dared to intervene, it would be a slap in Longmen's face and a slap in Rhode Island's face.
Is there any way to keep the snow monster alive before the fight starts? have.
But there is only one, and that is surrender, and surrender as soon as possible.
After all, the Longmen Guard Bureau is a law enforcement agency on the surface. It will not do inhumane things like Hei Li. It is absolutely impossible to kill prisoners. But if you talk about surrendering but keep stalling for time, the Longmen Guards Bureau won't be able to bear it anymore, and I'm afraid they will attack directly. Apart from causing more casualties, I'm afraid there will be no difference from the ending of total annihilation. .
This is a certain death situation. When the snow monsters choose to stay and break up the rear, their souls have already been held in the hands of death, just waiting to be harvested. At this time, all Valentine could do was to pay his respects to them as they fought to the death, nothing else.
Huang, who wanted to save the Yeti team more than him, stopped. What else could he do?
"At least Froststar is still alive."
Valentine had seen the scene where the Snow Monster team asked the Phantom Crossbowman to take away Frost Star, just now. It's a pity that Zhengyu didn't let him play the plot after the death of the snow monsters, and Valentin didn't know what happened to Frost Star afterwards.
However, Frost Star was sent out by the Snow Monster Team, and she carries the hopes of all the Snow Monsters. There is no way she will receive the lunch immediately...
"First of all, I want to tell you a painful fact. Frost Star's Origin Stone skills have severely damaged her body. It is not too much to say that she will receive lunch tomorrow."
As an artificial intelligence, Jiao Zhengyu doesn't have much feelings about the outcome of these people. He only cares about his agents and the tasks sent by his superiors.
"Then, I want to ask you."
Jiao Zhengyu turned his head and looked at Valentine.
"Do you think your medical spells have any effect on the pain and illness caused by the Origin Stone?"
Valentin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Shang Jiao Zhengyu. This artificial intelligence always speaks with several layers of meaning, and there must be something metaphorical in it, but Valentine's understanding is not very good. He can't always guess what the other person wants to say, so he can only follow the lead. The rhythm continues.
"If it's just pure pain, it will be effective, but it's useless and the effect is not good. If I don't take the inhibitor now, won't I still have to endure the pain caused by the Originium Crystal?"
It's not that Valentine didn't think of doing this, but once he applied the medical spell to the pain caused by ore disease, the energy in his body was like a punch on cotton, and most of the force was eliminated. In the end, It didn't relieve the pain much either.
The subtle pain like ant stings is a new worry after Valentine came to this world. Although he is used to it now, pain is pain after all, and he still hopes that this feeling will disappear as soon as possible.
If you turn off pain...
Valentine will also feel that his soul is in pain, and there is no way to solve it. This is probably the reason why Originium technology cannot effectively alleviate the pain caused by ore disease.
"As for those illnesses..."
Valentine rubbed his chin and thought for a while.
"I have no idea."
Very honest answer.
"Oresis disease has brought pain to my body and nothing else except Originium skills. I don't have any complications like fever, cold, or deafness, and neither does Xing Yihuang. I can't even wear tights to exercise in the winter. He seems to be healthier than me even if he has a cold, so I don’t know if my Originium skills will be useful against the illnesses caused by mineral sickness.”
"But..." After dragging the beautiful figure of Xing Yihuang in a compression garment into the hidden snow area in his mind, Valentine changed the subject: "Isn't Eyafala deaf due to ore disease? So many doctors in Rhode Island have If I can’t cure her, I don’t think my Origin Stone skills can do it either.”
"But you are special."
Jiao Zhengyu's fluttering words immediately confused Valentine. He nodded, and it took him two seconds to understand the deeper meaning of these words.
"You mean..." Valentin twitched the corner of his mouth, with a look of disbelief on his face: "My Origin Stone skills can cure Eyjafala's deafness? Nightingale's legs? Even the ghost shark's head?"
"Why is the ghost shark's head so funny in your last sentence..." Jiao Zhengyu felt that this little dragon man really had the makings of a comedian.
"Of course you can't do it now."
"Then I will be..."
Valentine's eyes shone with anticipation.
"You can probably do it if you understand what 'vitality' is." He stretched out his hand and put his index finger and thumb together, leaving a slight gap between the two fingers.
"The possibility is probably that high. Oh, by the way, I'm talking about your understanding of 'vitality'. As for curing the complications caused by ore disease, you have to see if those symptoms are caused by the Originium crystal. ”
"It's like the ghost shark's head... The mental condition is caused by the squeeze of the Origin Stone crystals in the brain. You can't do this unless you get those Origin Stone crystals out, but the cost is that the Ghost Shark has nine Chances of direct brain death."
"So I'm quite powerful?"
Valentine was stunned for a moment by Jiao Zhengyu's words.
"Of course you are awesome. You are someone who can compete with Amiya."
But this time Jiao Zhengyu told the truth, and there was no derogatory meaning.
"Then why are you talking about this now? Aren't we talking about the Snow Monster Team and Frost Star?"
Every time Valentin and Jiao Zhengyu chat, their topics are always as unstoppable as a reservoir with its gates open. By the time the two people return their attention to the original question, an hour has almost passed...
Fortunately, there is no concept of time in the mental space, so they are not wasting time.
"Because Shuangxing is about to die too. He will die in your hands."
One sentence struck Valentine directly on the head like thunder.
"What's the meaning?"
Valentine felt that he had heard wrongly. To him, Froststar is probably the only good person in the integration movement, and Valentine believes that she has absolutely no blood of ordinary people in her hands. She is a true warrior fighting for the future of the infected, a true " Integrated Movement”.
But now, Jiao Zhengyu said words that were like the worst lie, and it didn't sound like he was joking.
"Rhode Island will not be an enemy of the snow monster. You must provide evidence when you speak."
Valentin stared at Jiao Zhengyu's half-smiling face, and a ball of fire inexplicably appeared in his heart. He felt sorry for the death of the Snow Monster team, because these people had no way out, and he had no way to help these Snow Monsters, but Frost Star did not participate in this invasion against Longmen, why did Rhode Island and Longmen kill her? ?
Moreover, Jiao Zhengyu said it was Shuangxing who was killed by Rhode Island?
Ridiculous!
"Now, Valentine, listen to me."
Jiao Zhengyu put away his frivolous expression, became serious, and his tone became solemn.
"I understand your views on Frost Star, and I also understand your feelings for wanting her to live - even if it's not that strong, you still have this idea."
"In a certain next battle, I will give you the ability to briefly realize 'vitality' at the cost of all your remaining Source Stones. You will gain the ability to allow Frost Star to maintain its condition after the battle. , let her continue to drag this dilapidated body in this world, live in the pain of losing her brothers and sisters, and live in the fact that she can continue to live because of your mercy. Perhaps, she learned from the God of Death After returning, she will feel angry and die again. She may be disappointed with your inexplicable kindness and complete incomprehension of her thoughts and continue to linger, but after all, it is a life-saving and a great achievement, not to mention the life you saved. It’s Frost Star, the girl with a tragic past and lofty ideals.”
"And the price you paid was just a piece of Origin Stone and a body that became extremely weak due to excessive use of Origin Stone skills. Of course, Rhode Island may also strengthen their monitoring of you because of this matter, but after they learn about you I will be happy to let you continue working in Rhode Island."
"Moreover, this miracle of resurrection is enough to make Rhodes Island take you more seriously, allowing you to get promoted faster, and even get in touch with the secrets about the Tower of Babel earlier.
"Then, there is another fork in the road in front of you."
"The battle between Frost Star and Rhodes Island is inevitable. Her death and your test are coming as scheduled. And you, Valentine, who has mastered such magical power, my designated agent of the Terra world, save or destroy Which path will the people of this world choose to go on?”
"Finally, I want to tell you something: living is not necessarily easier to accept than death."
A series of words were printed directly in Valentine's mind like a printer, allowing him to remember every word of Jiao Zhengyu's words. The shadows dispersed, the black lines slowly left the real world, Jiao Zhengyu also disappeared, and time resumed its flow again. Valentin was still standing next to Raphael, his eyes lost their brightness and stared blankly ahead, still immersed in Jiao Zhengyu's questioning.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Raphael noticed something strange about Valentine and lightly bumped his shoulder.
"Ah...ah."
As if he noticed his gaffe, Valentine's reaction speed was much faster than it was in the spiritual world just now. Looking at his angel sister staring at him with a worried expression, he smiled and shook his head slightly.
"I'm fine, I just lost my mind."
"You are really distracted on the battlefield. Are you not afraid of danger?"
Raphael pinched Valentine's arm, not too hard. After all, I haven't seen her for a long time, and she is gentler than before. If it turns out to be true, she must want this little dragon who worries her to experience what "the care of an angel sister" means.
Although Rhode Island did not participate in this battle, they did not leave here either. There was still a possibility of being hit by stray arrows.
Valentin just smiled at Raphael's small concern, and then pulled her back, found the ladder that had just been in the spiritual world and sat on it. Xing Yihuang and others also retreated to the surrounding area. , the place farthest from the battlefield.
The battle will end soon, and Jiao Zhengyu's choice for Valentine has also entered the countdown. Those words were still echoing in his mind. Valentine looked at the fork in front of him and raised his feet with difficulty.
