Chapter 3097 Under the Curtain of Night

"We protect not only human beings, but also the humanity that makes us human..."

Teresa closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair. After a long time, she opened her eyes again and looked at Bronya in front of her.

"Really? Did he say so?"

"Yes, Lord Teresa."

Bronya nodded. This was the answer given to her when she was chatting with Fangzheng.

In fact, deep down in Bronya's heart, there has always been a pimple about this. For Bronya, Cocolia is her mother, and they once experienced good times together in the orphanage. But after that, Cocolia changed. She betrayed Bronya's trust, almost coldly asked her to betray her friends, hurt them, and betrayed Bronya herself.

Cocolia's explanation for this is naturally that everything is to fight against Honkai, so although she did break Bronya's heart, everything she did was "for a reason".

Of course, Bronya would not agree with Cocolia's idea, so they had a conflict, and the scene that Fangzheng had seen before appeared.

But after separating from Cocolia, Bronya's heart was also confused and tangled.

She could feel that Cocolia was not really cruel and ruthless, she was protecting the children in the orphanage and everyone's future. But, just because of this noble goal, can she do such a thing? Could it be that in order to protect everyone, she can disregard other people's life and death, and even trample on their feelings recklessly? Do I and others have to make this kind of sacrifice?

With such doubts in mind, Bronya found Fang Zheng. She wanted to know what the other party thought. Could it be that for such a goal, sacrifices must be made, and Fang Zheng must be ruthless?

But Fang Zheng's answer was completely different from what Bronya thought.

"We protect human beings, not only the human beings themselves, but also the humanity that makes them human. This is the key to distinguish us from the beasts. If people give up their humanity for the immediate benefit, then they also He no longer deserves to be called a human being.”

It has to be said that this answer surprised Bronya. She had never thought about thinking about the problem from this aspect, but she had to admit that this answer calmed her originally tangled heart a lot. So she also contacted Teresa, and reported to her the content of the conversation between herself and Fang Zheng.

For Teresa, however, it was like a dawn in the darkness.

"We protect not only human beings, but also human nature...?"

Muttering to herself, Teresa's eyes gradually glowed, and then she raised her head and smiled slightly at Bronya.

"Thank you, Bronya, this news is very important to me... no, it is very important to the entire Destiny Organization. I will find time to personally express my thanks to Mr. Yuki."

After saying this, Teresa turned off the communication. At the same time, she clenched her fists and let out a long breath.

This is not an exaggeration of Teresa. In fact, after she succeeded to the position of archbishop, the entire Destiny Organization faced a problem—that is, what should they do next?

Indeed, we experimented with those children and did some cruel things to them. But we also got results! Acquired the technology to artificially create engravings! Because of this, we were able to expand the Valkyrie team and deal with Honkai!

Indeed, that girl named Sirin eventually became the Second Herrscher, the Herrscher of the Sky, and what happened to her was sympathetic. But our research on her corpse has also achieved major results, and the ability to break time and space is one of the research results! Everything that you Valkyrie are using now comes from the research on them! Without the sacrifice of these girls, you would never have such power!

Indeed, this is a cruel and merciless thing, but for the continued existence of mankind! In order to prevent the collapse, sacrifice is necessary! Someone has to be the devil! Otherwise, how would the Mandate of Heaven fight against Honkai? ! Someone has to sacrifice! The victory of justice over evil is a fairy tale, but the reality is not so simple!

I have to say that although the words of these people sound unacceptable, they cannot be refuted. Those Valkyries who were originally filled with righteous indignation didn't know what to say. Most importantly, what should the Destiny Organization do next? Is it true that, as these people say, for the continuation of human civilization, some cruel and inhuman things are necessary?

In order to fight against Honkai and save human civilization, do those innocent girls have to be tortured and die in agony?

Is this justice?

Is this kind of justice what they defend with their lives?

In fact, this made many Valkyries feel disheartened and even desperate. There are also some Valkyries who simply applied to withdraw from the Destiny Organization, which also made Teresa feel extremely embarrassed. Of course, she was unwilling to support her grandfather's way. At the beginning, Teresa was unwilling to accept Otto's That's why I went to the Far East branch to open St. Freya Academy.

If she accepts this view now, what is the difference between her and Otto?

But if she doesn't accept it, what new ideas can refute this rhetoric?

Teresa has been struggling with this problem before, but now, she has grasped the originally vague thoughts in her heart.

That's right, human nature.

The humanity that makes a human being.

This is the most precious thing we have as human beings. Becoming a devil is not the only way to fight against Honkai. We are human beings, so we must use human ways to face threats. Just like the blood of Kallen Kaslana flowing in her body, Kaslana is the shield of the people, and its mission is to protect the people, not sacrifice them!

Thinking of this, Teresa clenched her fists and stood up. She knew what she should do next, and the consequences of doing so.

However, she has made up her mind.

Teresa reached out, pressed the button, and gave the order.

"Notify all branches that I will give a speech in half an hour—about the destiny and our future."

Then, on that night, Teresa Apocalypse, the new Archbishop of the Destiny Organization, delivered a public speech. In the speech, Teresa confirmed the future core idea of ​​the Destiny Organization——The Destiny Organization protects human beings , and human nature. Therefore, in the face of Honkai, they will fight against it as human beings until the last moment. Even if they fail in the end, they will maintain their dignity as human beings in the face of the disaster of collapse. Instead of abandoning humanity and becoming a ruthless, unscrupulous devil.

Teresa's speech was unanimously approved by the members of the Destiny organization—it was impossible, although her speech stabilized the beliefs of the Valkyries on the front line and many grassroots members. But there are still some people who think Teresa's approach is purely idealistic. After all, only after surviving the Honkai disaster can we talk about what human beings are like. If they finally fail in front of the collapse, then they will disappear like the previous civilization, leaving nothing behind.

People are all dead, so what's the point of talking about human pride and humanity? If you can't survive, then everything is empty.

In the end, these people chose to leave the Destiny Organization and disappeared... Of course, this is all for later, so I won't mention it for now.

Of course, Bronya didn't know Delisa's thoughts. After finishing the communication, she lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in front of her without blinking, but couldn't fall asleep.

And at this moment, an idea suddenly popped into Bronya's mind.

Why don't you talk to Yuuki...

Thinking of this, Bronya subconsciously left her room and walked towards Fangzheng's bedroom.

To be honest, Bronya's feelings for Fang Zheng are a bit complicated. On the one hand, she is indeed very grateful to him. After all, Fang Zheng suppressed the Herrscher of the Sky and rescued Qiyana. Don't look at Bronya always talking about "stupid Qiyana" on weekdays, she also doesn't want Qiyana to become a Herrscher and be killed.

Not only that, but he also healed his legs and resolved her inner doubts. To be honest, Fang Zheng is actually a very good man if Bronya were to judge him.

But... But he can really piss people off a lot of the time.

For example, every time Fangzheng saw her, he just said "Oh, salty duck" so that Bronya didn't know what to say.

There is also the miraculous undressing technique, which looks like something a pervert would do, but he can still say something with reason, so that Bronya doesn't know how to refute it.

This man is full of crooked reasoning and likes to talk nonsense, which makes people speechless.

But although his behavior and words are sometimes a headache, his words really helped him. If it wasn't for him, Wendy wouldn't be rescued, Kiyana wouldn't be rescued, and her body wouldn't be healed...

Thinking of this, Bronya only felt that her heartbeat seemed to speed up slightly. Wait, think about it carefully, wouldn't it be nice to go to a man's room by yourself at such a late hour...

At this time, Bronya had already walked to Fangzheng's room. She hesitated for a moment, but reached out to knock on the door. After all, I didn't do anything wrong, I just wanted to chat with him. Although the man's words were very annoying, I had to admit that sometimes what he said made sense.

"........."

After staying on Leander's battleship for this period of time, Bronya knew almost all the people from this different world.

Then, Fangzheng's voice sounded.

"Didn't you take the initiative to come to me?"
