Crown of Silence

Chapter 497 No Way Out

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock...

In the dead silence, there was only the faint sound of the second hand moving forward.

The sound came from the purple-eyed griffon's arm, clear and loud, as if time was running forward, step by step, leaving the present behind in the past.

Change everything beyond recognition.

"Before the principal left, I asked him for your activation code."

Ye Qingxuan said softly: "Angru was sorry for me. I asked for it and he gave it to me. Even if he knew what I wanted to do... I originally wanted to take you to find an unreliable guy to help you. Tear it down."

He paused and couldn't help laughing, full of self-deprecation: "But I didn't expect that the first time I read it out, it would be in a place like this."

The purple-eyed griffin held the knife silently without saying a word.

In the violent etheric impact, his gloves had been burned away, exposing the steel arm underneath.

As Ye Qingxuan chanted, the silent hour hand started and the mechanism started.

As the shell cracks, you can see that the complex machinery inside is slowly unfolding, the gears are rotating, and the springs push the alchemical substances in the cooling chamber into the reaction chamber.

A dazzling electric light lit up from the silicone crystal tube as thick as a thumb.

Ye Qingxuan only needs to move his fingers to open the circuit and trigger the red solution in the reaction chamber.

That is the 'purifying light' created by alchemists based on the dissolving agent of all things.

After being started, the solution will react instantly and be injected into the heart, brain and kidneys along the pipelines laid in the flesh and blood.

Fast as light.

In one second, the human body will be completely dissolved and purified. No medicine or stone can cure it, and no traces will be left.

This is the best poison in the world. Even if it is activated by overload, the scope of the purifying light can cover an entire street, perfectly annihilating all evidence of crime.

Since decades ago, it has been buried in the purple-eyed griffon's body, connected to the pipes of the aorta, and followed it day and night. Tools are bound to have their weaknesses. Even if they are powerful, they must always be in someone's hands.

Otherwise, once it gets out of control, there will be no way to contain it.

This result was destined from the very beginning.

Now, the outcome is decided.

"Admit defeat, teacher."

Ye Qingxuan stepped into a pool of blood and moved forward slowly, his eyes getting colder.

Determined.

"It's too late, Ye Zi."

An old voice came from under the charred mask stained red by blood. Seemingly dissatisfied with Ye Qingxuan's weakness, the purple-eyed griffon sighed softly:

"——I taught you to make a decisive decision immediately, but it's always so late for you to make up your mind."

He reached out and took off his mask, revealing his dull face.

Such a familiar face, but with an unfamiliar coldness.

That kind of coldness seemed to seep from the bone marrow, like the missing piece of a puzzle, and when combined with his face, they complemented each other, as if they were originally made from the same furnace.

He is no longer Professor of Music History at the Royal College of Music.

But the purple-eyed griffin, the commander of the dragoons.

A murderous executioner.

Abraham!

"You decided too late."

His eyes were filled with regret and disappointment: "Even if you have a hint of doubt, you should have tried earlier. But you have been hesitant and hesitant even if you take action - you are really the worst class of students I have ever taught, Ye Zi . Even if I only taught it once.”

Ye Qingxuan never thought that his face would be so calm after taking off the mask.

He was so calm that Ye Qingxuan felt that he was hallucinating, and he was still sitting in the study room, accepting the teacher's scolding, and he could humbly give advice.

But this is not a college.

This is not an examination room either...

"Why don't you defend yourself, teacher?"

Ye Qingxuan lowered his eyes tiredly and murmured softly: "You can just say something you can't help but, why are you so calm?"

He always felt that he had made a mistake somewhere.

He found ten thousand reasons for Abraham, and all of them were valid.

So he didn't dare try.

Because once he tried it, he would never be able to lie to himself again.

In the past, many people said he was naive, and they were right.

If not, he would not have asked Laura not to contact him if she could not find Abraham, leave the Holy City, and go back to Angelo.

In this way, if you don't get the answer, you can continue to be stupid willingly.

"I lied to you. I'm sorry to make you so disappointed in me."

Abraham sighed and looked down at the mask in his hand: "I just want to see you again, and let you see me... see the real me."

In his hand was a blood-stained griffin mask.

The blackened mask was smeared with scarlet blood.

Different from Seton's horse-head mask, the griffin's mask was a hundred times more ferocious and arrogant, like a natural carnivore and an unrivaled hunter.

In order to hide their identity, in the dragoon unit, every dragoon has its own mark, which is his own mark, the true face he chooses for himself.

They were not born with such a face, but they could choose what kind of face they would face killing and death with.

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time and nodded slowly:

"suitable for you."

"Thanks."

Abraham didn't seem to hear the resentment in it, as if he was ashamed to accept praise. He didn't say anything more, and just asked again in confusion: "Although it is cliché to say this, I still want to ask.

When did you discover it? "

"From the time someone told me that Constantine was Gaius. Unfortunately, just like you said, it was discovered too late..."

Ye Qingxuan responded indifferently: "I should have been suspicious when I first saw you wearing a mask in the Holy City. As a result, in the end, I was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Charles once told me that after meeting a purple-eyed musician, run away immediately and never take action... I always thought he was afraid that I would not be able to defeat you and would be killed.

Now it seems that he may have discovered who you are long ago, right? "

Ye Qingxuan looked at Abraham and his voice was hoarse: "He doesn't want me to be your enemy, so he is so weak and afraid. Even if he begs me, he wants me not to face you... These days, he has been afraid of facing you. you."

After hearing this, Abraham was silent for a long time and sighed:

"Feel sorry."

"Go tell this to Ciel!"

Ye Qingxuan interrupted him angrily: "Why don't you think about Bai Xi anymore? She so hopes that you can hold her hand and go to her wedding like a father!"

Abraham lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. But his tone remained calm, and he just nodded: "I promised her, but now it seems that I'm afraid I'm going to break the promise. Please apologize to her for me."

"you!"

Ye Qingxuan wanted to step forward angrily.

collapse!

A recurved blade was nailed in front of him, and the blade buzzed and vibrated, making a shrill scream. An invisible barrier blocked his path.

In the distance, the roar of the musicians came through the sky.

At some point, the sky was surrounded by dozens of musicians, and cold ether fluctuations spread.

In the void behind them, the silhouette of the riding Valkyrie slowly emerged, with a solemn look in her eyes.

"Just get there, Ye Zi, don't come any closer."

Abraham stretched out his hand and strangled the throat of the musician beside him. When he fell to the ground, he skillfully raised his foot to make up for it.

The sound of skull crushing was extremely clear.

"teacher!"

Ye Qingxuan roared.

"I'm sorry, Ye Zi."

Abraham's face was still dull, and his voice was straightforward and without any fluctuations: "I am not a good teacher. I have never taught Bai Xi anything. I have no way to help Charles, and I have no chance to teach you what I have truly learned.

I am an incompetent man. As you can see, the only thing I am good at is this abominable thing..."

Blood fell on his face and flowed from the corners of his eyes. He stared at Ye Qingxuan, but couldn't help but laugh:

"Thank you for saving me and making me feel that my life still has meaning. If possible, I really want to be with you all my life, in the academy, together... Please tell Bai Xi that I really want to attend her Wedding, I really want to.”

boom!

Amid the loud noise, light and shadow instantly intertwined.

Something roared towards me in an instant, but then stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, blood spurts out!

The corpse that had been completely chopped from the center fell to the ground. Abraham stood in front of the corpse, holding a knife, and half of his body was dyed red.

He raised his head and looked at the musicians gradually surrounding them in the sky, as well as the Valkyrie who had condensed into a solid entity.

"pity……"

He murmured softly: "It was too late to wake up after all."

"It's not too late to turn back, teacher!"

Ye Qingxuan roared, and he used all his strength to attack the realm in front of him: "Please, teacher! Don't make the same mistake again and again! Surrender, as long as you catch that bastard Gaius, I can extradite you to Go Angel!

As long as I'm here, no one can touch you! "

"What about Ciel?"

Abraham asked back, making Ye Qingxuan stunned.

"You should have felt it a long time ago, right? There is something abnormal about that child... The Holy City cannot let him go, even if he is willing to be locked up in a cage for the rest of his life like me.

Maybe God will have mercy on me, but this world will not accept Him. "

Abraham shook his head sadly: "I originally wanted to forget where he came from and let him live quietly in Avalon for the rest of his life, but he has been forced to die by his own fate.

Before coming to the Holy City, I thought everything could be changed, but I was so wrong.

People like me always have unrealistic dreams. I thought that by changing my clothes, I could change my ways, but only now did I realize that I had been lying to myself.

Ye Zi, I'm sorry... from now on, remember to take good care of Bai Xi. "

"Teacher, what are you talking about!"

Ye Qingxuan roared angrily, feeling like he was falling into an ice cave, and great panic spread from his heart: "Teacher... Charles... aren't we always very good! What happened to you!"

Thunderous light fell from the sky.

The terrifying knight holding the Thunder Spear has arrived in the sky.

Countless souls solemnly sing songs from the land of the dead.

Behind the riding Valkyrie, a huge whirlpool quietly emerged. There, the etheric world overlaps with the material world, revealing the figure of the saint Wagner.

The dying old man looked down at the world, his eyes fell on Abraham, and he became sharp:

"So it's the remnant of the dragon riders... Gaius actually hid the forbidden remnant from the purgatory here with you. Do you know what you are doing?"

"I just want to make this world a better place."

A hoarse voice sounded.

The door of the Judgment Tower burst open, and Gaius walked out of the darkness, staring at the saints, and said word by word: "Better than now.

After tampering with the past and future of mankind, you have lost the qualification to lead the world. One day, you will reap what you sow."
