I Became a God in a Horror Game
Chapter 537 Witch Trial (Sun 269)
After that, Hearts successfully introduced the little witch into the guild.
After Hearts and Little Witch had contacted two or three times, he did not hesitate to include each other in the regular team of the next league, and began to focus on training. Before that, Hearts had a chat with Phoebe.
The conversation took place on a rainy afternoon in a somber room on the island filled with burgundy duvets.
"I originally..." Hearts' breathtakingly beautiful face rarely revealed a trace of real weariness from laziness. He reclined on a chair that was as wide as a bed, with the back of his feet curled on it, drinking wine. The long red hair was wet from the side of his face to his slightly open heart, his tone and eyes were dazed and blurred, "I was going to let you join the team."
Phoebe glanced at him sharply: "You went to see your mother?"
She knew that the mother of Hearts was buried on another island far away from here. If Hearts was in this situation, it only meant that this guy went to visit his mother's grave before going to the island.
"Yeah." Heart obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, he avoided Phoebe's sight, his voice calmed down again, and moved the topic back, "But the little witch is more suitable than you, and your skills overlap. part, and your actions are a bit too extreme, not suitable for playing in the league so early, the little witch can be said to develop smoothly in all aspects, she is more suitable for joining the team than you, with her ability, although she is still a novice, but It's even possible to take over the position of tactician."
"I have no problem with being her substitute. She is very strong, and I should be her substitute." Phoebe looked at the hearts and said in a direct tone, "Even you should be her substitute."
"You're too weak, it's better for her to be a tactician and have a better chance of winning."
"You're not as strong as her."
Red Tao was silent for a while, then he raised his hand to cover his eyes, leaned back, and said hoarsely: "...you are right."
"She is so young, she has experienced so many things, and she is so suspicious. Even in the midst of hatred, she is still calm and has the will and confidence to protect others."
"...I don't know what else I can protect. Even your mother, my old friend, was rescued by her."
"You're right, I really should be her substitute." Hearts slowly put down the palm covering his face, he looked at Phoebe opposite, and said softly, "I want her to be the president of the King's Guild. , and the true tactician of this team."
"You asked her to be the guild leader?" Phoebe was keenly aware of something, "Then you are leaving the guild, right? What are you going to do?"
Hearts turned his head, he looked at the rain outside the island calmly, and did not answer.
That night, he came to his mother's tomb again. This is a very remote European village. Hearts bought the whole village, but he didn't take care of the village. There was only his mother's tomb in the whole village. That's it.
It was raining heavily. Hearts, holding a black umbrella, stood silently in front of his mother's tomb. After a long time, he squatted down. He hugged his knees and put his body up like a cold child. He curled up, raised his head from his knees, and stared quietly at the picture on his mother's tomb with those purple eyes.
"I met a very powerful little girl." He said softly, reaching out to wipe the water droplets from the photo. "It's more powerful than the last time I told you about Phoebe. She saved Rebekah."
"I want to give the guild to her."
"Phoebe is right, I'm really weak, no matter how many [shields] I have to protect, I don't have the courage to bring you back to this world."
Hearts tone is getting lighter and lighter.
Phoebe asked her a long time ago why she didn't revive her mother. Obviously, it can be done with the power of a guild. Hearts sat in the office chair for a while, and then replied with a sloppy smile - dead people too. Willing.
Reanimating the dead casually, have you asked her if she still wants to live? If she lives in agony after being resurrected and wants to die again, will you kill her again with your own hands?
—or watching her kill herself again?
What about being resurrected?
In this world, there is still the Holy See, the head of the arms dealer, and everything that can stand above his head, easily deprive her of her freedom from his hands, and amuse her beautiful existence. Ten years ago, he could not protect her. Ten years later , he also failed to protect the people who went down from the island.
As Rebekah said goodbye to Phoebe's father before marrying him - is there any difference off the island?
It's just a bigger island.
The only island, City of the Sky, which is free from the shackles of the world, is still floating in the sky. The rain is continuous, and the bloody smell left by the trial of the past is everywhere. This is the only place he can control and protect her.
But if she survives, does he want her to live like him on this island full of traces of hurting him for decades?
When he entered the game, he was burned with anger and hatred. After gaining the ability to sanction the enemy, he repeatedly tortured and judged the opponent. In this extreme hatred with enormous strength, the enemy was tortured unbearably. He also gradually became tired.
Hearts began to feel empty and tired, and sometimes after seeing in the mirror that he and the man—the man who led to the beginning of it all, his biological father—had a somewhat similar face, he would feel a sense of inability. Self-control aversion.
Disgust, hatred, and exhaustion drained him alternately. He was on the island, lying on the flannel and listening to the rain in a trance. The playing cards that once represented the settlers above were scattered on the ground.
Why keep judging them, their guilt has been established, why not kill them - Phoebe asked him - kill them and it's all over.
He was always unwilling to give that group of people a relief so easily, so that they and their mother ended up in the same ending - death, whether their souls after death would nag about the freedom she finally got, also because of that The note left to him by the guest, he always regarded death as the best result for these people, but that day, under Phoebe's questioning question, Hearts gave a rare thought-if it really killed them, what would happen to them? how is it?
After killing them, what am I going to do?
Hearts asked herself very lightly.
Since that day, he has been on the island for twelve years.
At the beginning, he wanted to become stronger by establishing a guild. He did become stronger as he wished. The whole world was his power, and he even had the strength to compete and confront arms dealers. The daily flow of points in the guild warehouse reached In the early days, he was a little bit relieved of the excitement of leaving the island, became an actor as he wished in his childhood, showed himself to everyone, and once naively hoped to get what she said , without that lustful compliment.
But the fact is that he can't get it. The people he has contacted, from writing letters to fans of his studio for three years in a row, to saying that they chose his investors because they believed in his acting skills. With one look in his eyes, they had an extra meaning, and they were all very willing to sleep with him.
Power, money, love, he has seen almost the top of these things, with a cold and tired attitude.
Has there really been someone she said, who just really praised her beauty? Or is it just that she saw it wrong, and that person actually has the afterglow of desire in his eyes?
He has no wishes, no desires, no things to do, no places to go. He stays on the island day by day listening to the sound of the heavy rain falling, and he becomes more and more lazy. 【Shield】Torturing the opponent instead of attacking, what you do is like looking forward to someone who will kill you suddenly on the field one day.
It all came to an abrupt end after seeing the black bone whip on the hand of the player named Spades.
He couldn't remember the specific scene when he saw the spades. It was like hearing a thunderstorm on a rainy day. He almost stopped, and all his thoughts came together. He rarely sat up straight, stunned. He stared at the black bone whip wielded by spades on the small TV.
"What's his name?" he heard himself ask.
Wang Shun replied respectfully: "Empress, he is the dark horse of this session."
"He doesn't have a name, he seems to have a code name called Spades."
[You can't call my real name, just call my code name, you can call me spades. 】
The next thing is logical. Hearts' crazy search for spades is understood for the pursuit. He is rarely so enterprising, chasing after spades all the way to the second place in the league - but it is only because of spades This guy only sees the game and his opponent. If he didn't meet him on the field, he would never answer your question. He would walk right next to you as if he didn't see you.
After losing the game, the hearts stood in front of the spades, and the host asked them to shake hands, but the hearts did not reach out.
Hearts looked at Spades, with almost no emotion in her eyes, with a long-anticipated expression: "Who gave you your whip and code name?"
There is no such coincidence in this world, it just happens to be so right.
Spades replied: "I don't remember."
Hearts remained silent for a long time, but he still stretched out his hand and raised his head again, with that impeccable lazy smile again: "I'm very happy to meet you, and I hope to see you next time on the field."
"At that time, I hope you can remember the answer to your question."
Later, Phoebe entered the game and the little witch joined the guild. After Hearts tried spades many times to no avail, he became lazy again and began to let go of his rights in the guild and let the little witch take over in turn.
"So what are you going to do?" Phoebe rarely found Hearts alone, she stared at him, "You let go so quickly, the little witch will be able to take over the King's Guild by the end of this year, what are you going to do when you leave the Guild?"
Hearts were silent for a long time, and then answered nonchalantly, "Go outside the island."
His eyes were half-drooping, and he smiled loosely: "After going to dance, no one wants to sleep with me."
Phoebe was silent for a moment—hearts hardly ever went to the island except for the necessary things, and he hated the island as much as he hated the island.
"With your face, such a place doesn't exist." Phoebe replied bluntly.
——Heart's favorite dance is "Dance of the Sevenfold Veil". This is a dance with a bit of seductive nature. Being jumped out by the hearts can make people's souls fly away. This person soaks in here. Growing up on the island of lust, even the cracks in the bones are filled with a bewitching breath.
"Well, I know." Hearts responded lazily, with a smile on his face and a sigh in his tone, as if he was immersed in memories, "I only skipped that once and the other party just treated me only once. I have waited for that guest for ten years, and even the guild is taboo in his name.”
"And then never saw it a second time."
"I've been looking for him for a long time..." Hong Tao held his chin, the candlelight beside his face flickered, and the long eyelashes cast a swaying shadow on his face, "Every time I try to find it, it's just so short that there is no news. "
"Think about it," Phoebe said lightly. "Maybe he's dead?"
Hearts laughed for a moment, then fell silent again: "This might be a good ending for him."
"That guest...is indeed yearning for death."
Phoebe's ominous premonition expanded. She looked at Hearts' face that was fascinated even in the candlelight, and she guessed what the other party was thinking almost in an instant. She asked Hearts a little coldly: "So...you feel good about death because of him, don't you?"
"So you left the guild to die, didn't you?"
"In the beginning... When he said that he wanted to die, I really couldn't accept it, I even wanted to kill the person who wanted to kill him." Heart said softly, "But after so long, I think now There's nothing wrong with what he said."
"For me, it's boring, and I don't need to bring her back to this boring and dirty world."
"—Death might be a good ending."
"Even if I go to hell after death, it might be cleaner than the island I'm staying on now."
Hearts tilted his head slightly, the faint light of the candle reflected in his dull purple eyes, raised his hand and fiddled with the wick at will, and the candle light went out.
So there was no light on the island.
The rain outside the window was harsh.
A few months before the league starts, Phoebe is the first to notice that something is wrong with Little Witch.
She knew that the little witch's heart was Liu Huai, the cowardly and incompetent man, but the guild controlled Liu Huai very well, although the little witch always silently "looked" at Liu Huai, who was somewhat confused after being controlled. It doesn't seem to approve of their approach, but it doesn't stop them from doing it either.
For a timid, incompetent and weak person like Liu Huai, such tight control may also be a form of protection.
Phoebe doesn't like Liu Huai, it can even be said to be disgusted. Although her view of the weak has changed, she doesn't like Liu Huai who has no faith and is keen to betray the weak.
She was sure that Liu Huai would become the weak point of the little witch, and she felt that Hearts' opinion was the same as hers - otherwise, this guy would not have done anything to train a preparatory group of brothers.
But Phoebe scoffs at the maneuver.
"If a person's core desires can be easily replaced or transferred, it's not the core." Phoebe hit the nail on the head, with disgust, "and these brothers you found are too inferior, the little witch will not easily empathize with them human."
Hearts smiled noncommittally, and he asked her, "Then what do you think is a good brother for a little witch?"
"Being able to understand her thoughts to a certain extent, support what she wants to do, and enable her to successfully empathize, the similarity in appearance with Liu Huai is a must, and there is also similarity in experience, such as teaching her Many things, I believe in her ability..." Phoebe raised her eyes, "Finally, it's better to be as cowardly as Liu Huai, so that she can be protective."
The smile on Hong Tao's face gradually dissipated.
Phoebe said lukewarmly, "Heart, I don't believe you didn't realize that the little witch has mixed feelings for you similar to Liu Huai."
"You are her most suitable [brother] candidate."
"As long as you use a skill on the little witch once, you will become Liu Huai in her eyes. You and her brother are not only identical in appearance, but also in character and similar to the role she played in her current experience. With your means, you can also completely psychologically replace Liu Huai's position in the little witch's heart. After Liu Huai's weakness is replaced by you, the little witch can become stronger and more stable..."
Hearts calmed down: "Enough."
Phoebe looked into Hearts' eyes: "Since you are determined to let the little witch overcome Liu Huai's weakness, why don't you want to lie to her yourself?"
"It's obvious that you are the most suitable person."
"Me?" Hearts gave Phoebe a half-smile, "I'm in her eyes, but [Queen], how will she accept me as her brother?"
Phoebe looked up: "Hearts, it's no use escaping."
"You are a man, and from this point of view, you are also suitable to be her [brother]."
"You've done all the bad things. Procrastinating like this will only backfire. Don't be a vicious and cowardly ruler, Hearts."
"Okay, the discussion of this matter ends here." Hearts restrained her expression, and his eyelashes drooped, "You go out first, I will consider it."
Phoebe paused, pushed open the door of the office, and left. Hearts sat in a chair alone for a long time and then slowly opened the drawer under her desk. He took out the photo in the drawer and put it on the table. On the table.
Hearts slowly lowered her head, rested her head on the table, buried it in her elbow, looked at the photo of his mother's bright smile, her voice was so soft that she couldn't hear:
"...I hate becoming a man to lie to her and win her trust."
"It reminds me of you."
"...So I asked someone else to do this." Hearts slowly lowered his head, he laughed abruptly twice, "Phoebe's evaluation is really good, I'm really cowardly and vicious... "
"But I really..."
"I don't want to lie to Jiayi."
