"What a joke!"

An unknown fire broke into my brain.

"It's come to this, and you're still going without permission... You're not going to see the lord, are you? His promise is false! He won't let anyone who knows the inside story go, you--"
p>

"I didn't look for him."

Xue whispered back.

At the same time, one of her hands tugged on my sleeve, as if to stop me from continuing.

"I will explain it to you properly when I have the chance, but not now."

"You..."

I hesitate to speak.

Xue's head was lowered, like a little girl who had made a mistake, which made me suddenly feel that my anger just now was very childish.

Alas...

"Hey, what's the second thing?"

"Your divine gift... If you receive news that I am about to become a demon or something similar, tell me. If it's too late -"

Xue raised her head and raised her voice slightly:

"Kill me immediately."

"...by me?"

"It's more appropriate for you to do it. In other words, I won't be wary of you, no matter what time."

"Okay...I understand."

"Hmm."

The snow seemed to relax a lot.

"So, unless those two things you mentioned happen, you will still go according to my plan, right?"

"Yes, please."

"Oh."

At this moment, I just want to end our conversation as soon as possible.

"That's it, we'll discuss the rest tomorrow."

"Remember?"

"What?"

"You have mentioned before - you are determined to save me because God thinks there is a chance of success. In other words, all your actions are based on God's judgment."

"Well, so what?"

"So, no matter what happens in the future, you don't have to blame yourself."

There was a touch of relief and amusement in Xue's eyes:

"In other words, just think of it as God's joke."

......

My plan only prevented the execution of the death penalty and did not actually delay Xue's death.

Maybe my actions in the past were actually in vain, and unknowingly stimulated the usurper to become more active.

Was the method I chose wrong? However, I clearly followed the instructions of my plug-in very well and avoided many unfavorable factors. Finally...

So far, it has no effect?

I can't accept it.

What I can't accept even more is: Xue is actually planning something.

She probably confessed to me after thinking for a long time, but I couldn't guess her purpose at all.

The only thing I am sure of is that Xue has embarked on a road of no return, and she does not want me to go with her.

——After listening to Xue’s words, I fell into deep thought for a long time.

......

Morning finally arrived.

"Good morning."

"Morning~~"

Facing Xue's casual greeting, I tried to answer in a relaxed tone, but my voice sounded a bit hoarse.

"I was the one who was abrupt last night. In other words, you don't have to pay too much attention."

"You actually told me not to care...you are forcing yourself to do something difficult."

"..."

"You, why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me earlier?"

"I don't think that would be in your favor."

"No, no, no, stop pretending."

I rejected Xue outright:

"You guy~~ Since you chose to tell me, it means that you are ready to leave me - I can still guess your thoughts, so it is a pity that I will not let you succeed.

”

"..."

"Hey, what's your expression? Didn't you understand what I said?"

I patted Xue's shoulder.

"What else don't you understand?"

"Are you...are you disappointed?"

"Disappointed? Well, not really."

I smiled bitterly:

"As long as you never consider compromising with the lord, then I will still stand on your side."

Yes, this is my conclusion.

Xue did nothing wrong, and I have no right to blame her.

"..."

"What? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Snow's gaze makes me a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Lonely."

"Huh?"

"What do you need me to do?"

"...Help me rescue Ferinod first."

Jianxue didn't intend to explain too much, so I didn't ask any more questions.

It's not that I don't care, I just want to focus most of my energy on the current goal.

After all, you can’t always look forward and backward.

......

A few days passed.

One afternoon, a letter was delivered to the police station by the wind.

The letter is written like this:

[At seven o'clock tonight, at the end of East Fourth Street, Officer Robert and I are waiting for you.]

They should recognize my handwriting.
Chapter completed!
