Pastor's Tantra

"Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Haina opened her eyes wide and asked.

"...What's ridiculous?"

Sherlock was even stunned for a moment before he finally realized what Haina was referring to: "Oh, I understand. It's okay."

"Objectively speaking," Aiwass helped, "I mean, judging from the objective conditions of Avalon and Star Antimony, this development is not completely impossible."

"But in the future I encountered, Avalon was already in chaos! Decaying dark magic seeped into the land, food could no longer grow, famine had lasted for several years, and the Round Table Hall had completely deteriorated and turned into a What a joke, the Supervisory Bureau was turned into ruins. The corpses of animals and plants were corrupted by the power of shadow and stood up again. The souls could not enter the dream world but were imprisoned by the magic on the ground. Those shadow wandering souls were at least the third generation. Energy level, attacking everyone indiscriminately..."

Haina even spoke significantly faster.

He is just like a madman who has discovered the truth about the future, desperately and lonely telling about the future that no one will believe...

"Don't be anxious, please don't be anxious first."

Aiwass helplessly stretched out his hand to hold down the increasingly excited Haina: "It's not that we don't believe it..."

...The only problem is that she is actually the last one to know about the things Haina said.

This is what Avalon will look like in the future if Aiwass doesn't awaken his past life memories and does nothing. And Sherlock has so much information from investigations and secret information about so many big figures. With his intelligence, he must have guessed this future - this is also the reason why he had a bad attitude towards Isabel in the first place. .

He may not know as much detail as Haina, but he must have guessed Avalon's future direction. In the original game, he didn't react much to this matter; and when Aiwass vaguely mentioned this matter to him at the bishop's house, he just said yes and ended the topic.

Sherlock's loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen made him ready to die at the end of his life. That is not loyalty to Avalon, nor is it loyalty to the Avalon royal family, it is just loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen.

As for Lily, she didn't care about those things at all. Moreover, she is a person who has personally experienced "how far the Round Table Hall has fallen" - her biological father is a minister of the Round Table Hall, he is a spy who colluded with the Star Antimony people, and he was just killed by Aiwass and Lily. .

——Speaking of which, Haina really didn’t know about this.

Because the death of Minister Drost is actually top secret in Avalon - he must be "alive" to make sense. In this way, they can continuously pull out various "confessions" from the void, keeping those people in a state of fear. Maintaining such political pressure will make it easier for those people to reveal their flaws.

"You might as well tell me first," Aiwass said warmly, "In that 'future', what have you experienced and what have you foreseen? In other words, what is the specific content of the ceremony you participated in this time?"

"...That's pretty long."

Haina calmed down a little, and rubbed her temples with some distress: "Now the memory is almost blurred... But this dream was very long, very, very long - it might have been more than a month, or it might have been two. Three months.”

"Can it be this long?"

Aiwass was a little surprised.

"Yes," Haina nodded, with fear still in her eyes, "In that future, I am a supervisor of the Supervision Bureau... But in that future, people no longer believe in supervisors. My The mission is very simple... it is to 'protect civilians', but it is such a simple mission..."

She said, her words choked.

Aiwass sat quietly next to her, waiting for her to calm down slowly. Lily came over and hugged her gently, whispering something comforting in her ear.

But Haina is a strong knight after all. She didn't cry in Lily's arms, but took less than ten seconds to adjust.

"At the beginning, there were twenty-eight civilians I found. I remember what each of them looked like. They were very distrustful and full of hostility towards me. It took me a long, long time to make them trust me. ...It was only after I was exhausted in a battle with those monsters that they slowly began to believe me. It was also at that time that I realized what had happened in that world..."

Aiwass noticed that Haina subconsciously referred to the fragments in the dream as "another world."

Aiwass liked the reaction. This means that she subconsciously treats the fabricated pseudo-souls not as afterimages or ghosts, but as real people.

Although strictly speaking, this is somewhat naive and stupid.

But just as Aiwass likes puppies and kittens, he also likes friends who can trust from the bottom of his heart - even if he doesn't have much contact with Haina.

"I don't know what the mission of the others is, but I have experienced a betrayal."

Haina gritted her teeth when she said this: "I remember that person - his code name was 'Cake Master'. When I heard this code name, I thought he was a good person, otherwise he would not use such soft and sweet cakes. Thing as a code name... But just after I trusted him and introduced him to the gathering place as a teammate... those civilians began to disappear.

"When the tenth person disappeared, I finally found out that he was preparing the ritual materials. He laughed at me for trusting him so easily, and used the ritual to peel the tenth person into pieces in front of me, and then attacked me. That was the mother of a girl. She had just prepared porridge for me that morning. She also thought about taking her daughter to escape to Iris and study music...

“It wasn’t until then…that I truly realized what the New Moon Ceremony meant.

"I was angry, but being angry was of no use. It was impossible for me to defeat a ritualist who had prepared for it - and that was while protecting those people. In the end, I was protected by those people before I left... and when When I fled to a safe place in embarrassment, only six of the twenty-eight people were left.

"-I will always remember their names."

Haina said seriously.

Her words were sincere and fiery, and her clenched fists contained real anger.

"If I could meet him in reality...I would definitely teach him a lesson."

"What exactly will the lesson be?"

Aiwass suddenly interjected and asked.

Haina was silent for a while and said seriously: "I will kill him."

This girl who used to threaten people, the most she could say was "I'm going to arrest you"... finally used her clear will to seriously say that she wanted to kill someone without being hot-headed.

Aiwass smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly.

Being able to grow in a dream is much better than waking up after losing something in reality.

"very good."

He said calmly: "You have indeed grown. Okay, I will help you with this."

"...What?" Haina did not respond.

"I'll help you find him, and then let you kill him."

Aiwass sat on the edge of the bed and murmured softly with a smile: "This will be your baptism, and it also indicates that you will eventually mature. Most people rarely have the opportunity to use the person who made them awaken as a sacrifice. Character, but the nature is different after all. The person who really makes you angry should be terminated by your own hands. This is the meaning of power."

Sherlock on the side always felt that Aiwass was like a devil bewitching people at this moment.

His expression became extremely subtle. But in the end, Aiwass was not stopped.

Forget it, let him do as he likes...
