Chapter 183 I Will Live My Whole Life without Regrets
Lynch is seriously considering whether there are creatures like Komodo dragons in the world. If there are, he will feed them to Bearded Man. Anyway, he owes himself a lizard meal.
Or the other way around, feed the monitor lizard to the bearded man.
It's better to choose the latter. Who asked him to kick open the door of 304 at the critical moment? The door panels were knocked down and he said they wouldn't close the door.
Want to think of a way to beat him to the ground?
However, after looking at the several second- and third-level watchers who came in one after another, as well as the fifth-level powerful Mr. V, Lin Qi felt that it was better to be more open-minded and temporarily forgive them for their bad people and good deeds.
After all, I can't defeat anyone, not to mention they have good intentions.
This is the headquarters of the Watchers. The dormitory is not specially treated like the basement. The distortion occurs in the dormitory. There is some sense in the club below. A group of people don't know what happened and immediately rush to support. As a result, they see a good show. .
Lynch was even secretly glad that he didn't do anything unspeakably bad, otherwise he would have asked them to collect the tickets.
But it was impossible for him to do anything. Officer Natalie was so weak that she had only one breath left. She was supported by the excitement of the rest of her life. Now she fainted when she was disturbed by Cui En. Instead, she knocked out a group of watchmen who were joining in the fun. Startled.
Fortunately, after examination, Natalie was fine, but the distortion just caused serious consumption and she had to stay in bed for a period of time.
This made Lynch quite puzzled...
Is it my illusion? I always feel that people who are closer to me are either already lying on the bed, or are on their way to lie on the bed.
It must not be my problem, yes, it is just the arrangement of fate. Fate is really a clever thing.
After secretly laughing a few times, Lynch explained to Mr. V what had just happened. Although he had determined that Natalie was fine, he heard that she had just begun to distort. Although he was mentally prepared, the room was still There was an uproar.
The result of the erosion of the soul is loss of control, and the end of loss of control is distortion.
Once it becomes a twisted body, it is impossible to recover. This is an iron law that no one has ever violated. However, in the short period of time between the beginning and the end of the distortion, there is indeed a last chance to interrupt the loss of control and allow the victim to return to normal.
It's just that the chance of success is extremely low, less than one in a million. It has no reference value and is automatically ignored by everyone.
"The rare ability of dying resonance can theoretically enter the soul that is about to be distorted, but almost no one does it. Do you know why?"
After hearing Lynch tell the whole process, everyone's expressions were very subtle. Mr. V patted Lynch on the shoulder, and his tone was not so serious and rigid for the first time:
"Because it often only takes a few hours from the time you realize you have been eroded to the time you complete the distortion. It is difficult to find people with this ability. And more importantly, the mortality rate is as high as 2%. One hundred to three hundred percent.”
Lin Qi's mouth trembled: "Are even those watching the excitement affected?"
"When two twisted bodies appear at once, it is very dangerous to clear them out. People often lose people." Mr. V smiled and nodded, "Anyway, as far as I know, no one can use this method to kill the twisted bodies." If you save him, you will only put yourself in a desperate situation. You are the first to succeed."
‘Is it so serious, neighbor? ’
There was silence in my mind.
‘Neighbor, are you there? ’
quietly.
‘Phew, you’re angry, neighbor. ’
[No, I am just a witness, an awakener. I will be by your side to witness your awakening journey. 】
‘Hiss, I’m quite angry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Don’t be angry yet. I apologize. ’
[If the apology was useful, there would be no need for the Hall of Order to exist. You said so yourself. 】The gentle voice was silent for a moment after finishing speaking, and finally sighed, 【The road to the highest is hard-won, please cherish it, Lynch, don’t waste your life, there is only this chance of recovery, neighbor, I can’t do it again. Help you wake up. 】
‘As expected, it was you who helped me wake up, thank you. I will be more cautious in the future. Is it really that dangerous this time? ’
[Every action you took just now may lead to failure. It is no longer a question of whether it is dangerous or not. 】
The gentle lady of the red moon expressed such a long meaning for the first time:
[If you fail to turn your target to herself in time, you have been distorted now. If you fail to leave a deep enough impression in her heart, you cannot break through her soul world and penetrate into it. Then you are now She has been distorted. If your actions failed to inspire her desire to survive, you have now been distorted. If her will is not strong enough and she cannot resist the erosion of mysterious filth after being stimulated, you...]
'I'm twisted now, I know. ’
[Well, it’s normal to have good and bad scenery during the journey, and sometimes rugged scenery is more attractive. But I don’t want the people I witness to despise precious opportunities and gamble with their lives on almost non-existent possibilities. 】
‘Oh, I understand what you mean, neighbor, but I have a question. ’
【Um? 】
‘Which is greater, human beings or the Supreme Being? Which is more precious, human life or supreme existence? ’
Silence fell into my mind again.
Lin Qi ignored whether there was a response in his mind and thought to himself: 'At the end of the first era, the great disaster that ended the age of mythology, although I don't know what kind of crisis we encountered at that time, I know that there was a god He took the initiative to stand up, set an example for the gods with his actions, and challenged the catastrophe at the cost of his own existence. In the end, the gods fell and the living creatures withered, but at least hope was preserved, so that the subsequent barbaric era and Dark Ages. ’
[It’s different, Lynch. Existing in this world and being worshiped by hundreds of millions of creatures, we have an obligation to be responsible for this world. But you're human, at least for now, and you don't need to have the same attitude as us. 】
‘There is nothing different. As long as we have self-awareness in the world, we have responsibilities that we must bear. This is true for gods and humans. I am not responsible for the entire world like a god, and I have little interest in protecting people who have nothing to do with it. But I also have my own persistence, and I will not avoid what I should do. Just like the old saying in my hometown, ask yourself, if it is something that must be done, even if I face an army of tens of millions of people, I will persist to the end. ’
Lin Qi smiled in consciousness and said leisurely:
'I know you are worried about me, neighbor. I am very grateful to you, but I hope you can answer my question truthfully. If I had really cut it down with a sword just now, I could indeed avoid taking risks, but... such behavior is really... Would you like to see the scenery? Do you really think that I am qualified to take over the authority of Red Moon? ’
After a long time, a faint sigh came from the consciousness: [Even if this will interrupt your path to immortality, you will not regret it? 】
‘I will have no regrets throughout my life. ’ Lin Qi became playful and pictured an image in his mind of raising his fist to the sky.
[Pfft, okay, I understand, then I will stay with you and witness your journey to seek death. 】
‘Hiss, you are...no, you are too evil. ’
Lynch smiled and retracted his intention to harass his neighbors. At this time, professionals had already sent Officer Natalie to the underground infirmary, where she would receive professional treatment in the next few days.
Room 304 is temporarily unusable. The carpet is full of blood and minced meat. It looks like a massacre scene. We can only clean it up after the police officer wakes up. But these have nothing to do with Lynch now. Seeing the sleeping Natalie being carried away on a stretcher, Lynch finally showed a relaxed smile.
I finally helped you survive, partner. We will continue to be entangled in the future. Don't try to get rid of me easily, hehe.
"Thank you, Mr. Lynch."
After the watchmen left in a noisy manner, a wine glass was stretched out from behind. When Lynch turned around, he saw Mr. V holding the bottle on the coffee table and pouring two glasses of expensive red wine.
Hiss, you are such a bad guy, why did you take your subordinate's wine as a favor?
Lin Qi silently made a note in the detective notes in his mind before taking the wine glass.
"L is a good friend of mine. I'm very grateful that you could save his daughter. I'd like to toast you."
Lin Qi put away the banter, nodded and drank the wine in one gulp.
"The Watchers have received a lot of help from you. How about it? Are you interested in joining us? It's not the Watchers of Rhine City, but the Watchers of the Rand Kingdom." Mr. V asked seriously, "If you are interested, I will tell you If you apply at the headquarters, you will enter the Watcher system directly and have a code name.”
Lynch was stunned, thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it, I think the name Private Detective Lynch Levy is very nice, and I don't plan to change my name. Besides, if I join, I will probably use L as the name." Code name, I’m afraid Natalie will not only disown me, but also kill me directly, so let’s forget it, I’m more afraid of death.”
"Haha, okay, although it's a bit regretful, I respect your idea. When you change your mind, please tell me at any time." Mr. V said without any dissatisfaction, "Natalie has to rest for a few days. During this time, you have What's the plan?"
"First, heal your legs so that they don't become disabled, and then... go help someone collect a bill." Lynch showed a ferocious smile, clenched his fists and said, "Someone wanted to use me as a pawn to realize their own goals. The purpose is to dig up their own ancestral graves. This behavior is normal, and I don’t blame them, but...if I don’t let them get some blood, I can’t even close my eyes.”
Mr. V shuddered, took a few steps away from Lynch, and looked at him with strange eyes: "Grant?"
"And his ghoul allies. Haha, it's time to collect the debt."
