Chapter 2448 Crack (Ⅱ)

"Mentor, I'm sorry I didn't confess this to you until today..."

Next, Joan recounted his life experience and the origin of the strange bloodline from beginning to end.

"Eighteen years ago, my grandfather and parents faced retaliation for investigating the inside story of the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady'. My father was killed, my grandfather lost a leg, and my mother died of illness shortly after giving birth. The curse was born into this world, with the blood of abominable and vicious aberrations flowing in its veins."

"I swore to my grandfather before his death that I would never succumb to the strange blood in my body, never indulge my evil instincts, and turn into a monster without humanity. I want to live in this world as a human being superior!"

"Over the years, I have never violated my oath. When I came to the Midgard colony, I got acquainted with Ms. Betty and Sir Custis successively. I felt the same kind of breath from Ms. Betty, and I also saw it from her. Choose the reflection of the fallen path."

"And in Sir Custis, in the sick and weak old man who was tortured by the curse and sealed the evil divine power of the 'Mother of Monsters' with his fragile body, I saw a strong will and unyielding belief!"

"The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage! The path of Sir Custis is also the path I want to choose!"

"Ms. Betty and her believers who worship the so-called 'Holy Mother' regard the holy seal as a blessing given by idols, but they are just the hosts used to raise holy beasts. The more mature the holy seal is, the faster the host will die , Teacher, can you accept such a fate?"

Professor Moriarty frowned and thought, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"Joan, in fact, Betty and Dinin already knew that the holy seal would transform into a holy beast when it matured, and they never tried to deceive me on this issue. In fact, they thought it was a great honor to raise holy beasts with their own bodies. , is a noble ceremony of martyrdom for the faith, and when the final moment comes, their souls will also abandon their bodies and merge with the holy beast."

"From this point of view, the ultimate destination of the believers of the Holy Mother is nothing more than abandoning the fragile human body and transforming into a more powerful body of a holy beast. Isn't this all-round evolution? What is there to reject!" Mori Professor Artie smiled, and continued: "Even if you prefer the human form, after you evolve into a holy beast, you can still cast spells to transform into a human form, which is no different from your current spell transformation into a monster form."

"Teacher, why don't you understand! The saying 'soul fusion with the holy beast' is pure self-deception. In fact, the soul of the holy beast comes from the divinity of the Virgin, and is the projection of the will of the Virgin in the world. As for the host, it not only If you lose your body, your soul will also be devoured, so how can there be any free will!" Joan said eagerly.

"Is there any evidence for your statement?" Professor Moriarty asked back.

Joan was at a loss for words.

He once witnessed Francis Messinger's transformation into the holy beast Hydra, and then completely lost his humanity and his intelligence level dropped sharply, but this cannot be used as solid evidence.

Messinger did not follow the normal process to transform into a holy beast, but as a semi-finished product that was transformed from the holy seal in his body in order to protect himself after he was killed. Using this special case as evidence, Professor Moriarty could not be convinced.

"I don't have hard evidence, but I trust Sir Custis' judgment." In the end, Joan could only say so.

"Ha! My students, when encountering disputes, appeal to authority. This is not in line with your rigorous academic style. If it were me, I would design a set of experiments to test whose statement is more in line with the facts." Moriarty The professor raised his glass with a smile and took a sip of the red wine.

Joan was depressed to find that instead of dissuading his mentor, his warning made him more interested in "Holy Seal", as if he wanted to study it as a subject.

"Teacher, I have to advise you, don't play with fire and burn yourself!"

"I'm not some young and energetic daredevil, I do things properly."

Professor Moriarty put down his wine glass, patted Joan on the shoulder with a smile, and advised him to relax.

"The 'Brotherhood of Our Lady' is not a gangster. Even if you know that you have the blood of the Holy Mother, you will not be forced to join it, let alone find fault with you. Of course, you'd better not go with Sir Custis Too close, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

"What if I have to stand on the Sir's side?"

On this issue, Joan cannot compromise.

Professor Moriarty frowned, stroked his chin, and replied reluctantly: "If you insist on being with Sir Custis... To be honest, you may sooner or later have a conflict with the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady'. "

"If that day really comes, which side do you choose to help?" Joan stared closely at the mentor's eyes, not allowing him to escape.

"Do you need to ask? You are my student, so I will help you if you don't help anyone!" Professor Moriarty replied without thinking.

"Even as an enemy of Ms. Betty?"

"Well... I will try my best to persuade her not to get involved in this conflict. If I can't persuade her, then I can't do anything..."

Professor Moriarty hesitated to speak, his expression tangled.

Qiao An couldn't bear to push the mentor into a dilemma, so he sighed and took a step back.

"Teacher, as long as you can remain neutral and don't help each other, I will be very grateful."

Professor Moriarty hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

Joan also knew that it would be difficult for him to keep his mentor neutral, but he had no room for further concessions. He only hoped that his mentor could rein in the precipice and stay away from the temptation of the "Brotherhood of Notre Dame".

"Teacher, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. Also, please keep it a secret for me about my possession of the 'Different Eye Seal'."

"Don't worry, I swear that I will never reveal your secret to anyone." Professor Moriarty said solemnly.

Joan really wanted to ask him, did Ms. Betty also be kept secret? But that would be too rude.

After leaving the smallpox research institute, the cloud in Qiao An's heart continued unabated.

In this conversation with Professor Moriarty, he tried his best to be "open and honest", but unfortunately he failed to achieve the expected results, and instead further deepened the rift between himself and his mentor.

Walking in the pasture in the cool autumn wind, Joan thought as he walked, he was not good at persuading others, let alone Professor Moriarty with a strong personality?

Finally, he decided to send a letter to Mrs. Josephine to confide his thoughts, asking her to come forward to dissuade Professor Moriarty from joining the "Brotherhood of Our Lady".

Unfortunately, Mrs. Josephine's reply disappointed him greatly.
