Chapter 36 Selection (Part 2)(1/2)
"What is he talking about?" The great witch looked around and found that the missionary was lost halfway, so she couldn't help but curse.
"Please avoid it for the time being." The angel said to her.
The great witch looked at Ansbilis blankly: "He is saying something..." Well, even if Ansbilis understands, she can't tell her. She was thinking about whether to turn back and call the missionary back. After all...
This is the first time she has seen an angel!
It turns out that there is really a messenger who has wings to pass on the oracle, and it is so beautiful...
She always thought that foreigners looked strange and had to admit that the beauty of this angel transcends the differences in aesthetics between China and the West.
She was still excited, staring at the direction of the angel without blinking, secretly thinking about how to get the wooden pillar. Of course, she said that she would not covet other people's things, but the wooden pillar was hers, and it was natural to take it back if it was not listed. However, her plan had not yet been formed, and the scenery in front of her suddenly changed and she returned to the scenery of the Great Wall.
Dawu: "..." hasn't seen enough.
After a long time of cool breeze, the almost desperate missionary rushed over with emotion and said in hard Chinese: "You are back."
The witch was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Yes, I'm here to pick you up." After that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he picked him up, put it under his armpit, and dragged it away.
The missionary with head downwards: "..." His shoes seemed to be sparking.
The great witch was sent away, and only Ainsbilis, the black cat and the angel were present.
The angel said, "I've been waiting for you."
This sentence is similar to "You are finally here", but when the Great Witch leaves, it is very clear in the direction.
Ansbilis said: "You're the way back?"
The angel understood: "Yes."
Ansbilis asked: "Whose order did you follow?" Gordon in 2015? Gordon in 1890? Or they had reached some kind of cooperation through time and space, so both are?
The angel said: "I."
Ansbilis said: "Who are you?"
The angel was asked and looked at him in confusion.
Ansbilis observed him.
The eyes were blue and almost transparent, and the emotions inside were like open books, which were easy to read and easy to understand. He seemed to be asked, and after thinking about it, he said, "I don't know. I don't have the memories of the past. When I wake up, I will wait for you here."
Ansbilis said: "Who awakened you?"
The angel said: "I."
Isn’t it really a singularity to wake yourself up when you fall asleep?
The black cat slapped the back of Ansbilis' head with a swaying tail.
Infected by its calmness, Ansbilis also gave up on finding the root cause. Since it was the wooden pillar left by God, no matter whether he was Metatron's wings or not, it had extraordinary points. Perhaps the communication that could travel through time and space is also one of them?
Ansbilis said: "What is the test?"
The angel said: "You need to separate..."
Before he finished speaking, Ansbilis showed his fangs and made an attacking gesture.
The angel said: "If you answer the questions separately, you can go back if you answer correctly. If you answer wrong, you must stay."
Ansbilis's heart moved, and was about to "communicate the answer" with the black cat in advance, the black cat was moved behind the angel. The angel also separated into an incarnation, one facing Ansbilis and the other facing the black cat.
"The question is, if at most one person can go back, what would you choose?"
"a, let Ainsbilis McAvey go back."
"b, let Osia Gangro go back."
"c, stay together."
Black Cat and Ansbilis were stunned at the same time.
Is this a test?
Or a trap?
Their worries are not without reason. Angels ask them to answer correctly, but how can there be a standard answer for such a question?
Unless it is a test of tacit understanding, see if they give the same answer?
Or test the spirit of sacrifice to see if they choose to sacrifice for each other?
Or maybe it’s a trap. When they choose one of them, they go with the flow and make it a reality.
Ansbilis turned his head, trying to get some tips from behind the angel, but it seemed that the light was blocked in the middle. The black cat looked like a big round black ball. Not to mention the eyes, he couldn't tell where his limbs were.
When the angel saw that they did not speak for a long time, he reminded him: "Please answer."
Ansbilis said: "Is there no prompt?"
The angel said: "No."
Ansbilis sneered: "This is not fair! Any exam will announce the criteria for judgment, otherwise how can I know if you are committing favoritism or fraud?"
The angel said: "You won't know."
Ansbilis: "…"
The angel said: "Three minutes left."
Ansbilis stared into his eyes, considering the possibility of knocking him down head-on. But even if he was defeated, he could not force the other party to surrender. He himself... was just a wooden pillar.
"Two minutes and thirty seconds."
...
Even if he was reluctant, Ansbilis seized the time to think about it.
There is no doubt that if there are only these three choices, he will choose the last one. Instead of letting himself go back or letting the black cat go back, he would rather stay together, at least, they are still together.
However, if the black cat doesn't go back, Osia will be burned to ashes in 2015, which is something he can't accept.
Then, there is no need to think about the answer.
“I choose b.”
He calmly said the answer.
The light curtain suddenly retreated, and the black cat ran over desperately, jumped into his arms. Ansbilis pressed it tightly in his arms, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go.
The black cat licked his face flatteringly, and his tail bent into a c.
Ansbilis froze: "What?"
Seeing that his face was wrong, the black cat immediately changed from "seeking praise" to "seeking caress".
Ansbilis looked at it, his eyes as if they were rocks, hard and angular, sharply piercing into the soft eyes of the black cat and pressing heavily on its heart.
The black cat suddenly felt wronged. It’s not okay to be with him? This old vampire is becoming more and more difficult to serve!
Ainsbilis noticed his depression, his tight muscles slowly relaxed, and whispered: "I know."
Humph, it's too late.
The black cat was arrogant and turned his head away from looking at him.
"Congratulations, the answer is correct." The angel said calmly.
This is probably the sound of nature.
Ansbilis and the Black Cat were both surprised and delighted.
Ansbilis couldn't help asking, "What is the correct answer?"
The angel said, "You choose to let him go."
Ansbilis was stunned. Then he understood Gordon's intention. In the other party's opinion, leaving himself behind and letting him go was the most unlikely thing. Indeed, if it were Ansbilis in the 1890 version, he would probably not even consider this option.
However, now, in order to make his lover a little easier, he is willing to endure, give up, and wait. It is impossible for him to give up. He originally planned to spend a long 125 years, and then ambush the wooden house in advance and save Osia.
Of course, the result is better now.
Compared with his pleasure, the black cat was very depressed. Fortunately, it had been struggling with the question for a long time, but it was useless. No matter what it answered, it was not important.
...There are still purely people taking exams these days.
The angel said, "I'll send you back."
Ansbilis hugged the black cat and was about to ask for a place to land when his eyes flashed and the angel in front of him had disappeared.
The great witch came back from afar with the missionaries.
The black cat is gone.
Ansbilis is gone.
Even the wooden pillars disappeared.
The missionary saw the great witch dashing towards the pit like crazy, and his face turned pale. He kept praying with his cross: "God! Please save that poor man."
The great witch saw that the missionaries were idle and still had time to whine, and without saying a word, they pulled them into the pit digging team.
The missionary was digging the pit in tears while praying: "God! Please save me!"
