Chapter 77: The Red Ritual (32)
"Don't worry, wait until we get close to the slave quarter----"
Qing no longer traced his hand and whispered to the team members behind him to calm down. Now that Qing and his party have just entered Cermila, if Qing doesn't stop the team members, then this whole plan will cause heavy losses due to this irrational start! This must not be allowed to happen, and Qing will not watch these hundred people die in vain!
"Angel watch around, we're going to start walking towards the slave quarter, don't be spotted out of the ----"
Qing walked past Angel, lowered his head and whispered to Angel to do reconnaissance work at the moment of passing by.
From its foundation to the present, Cermira has been a city that no one has come to run. But why is the city so quiet? First, it is all up to the people here to keep themselves from committing crimes. The second reason is that there have been riots in this city, with countless deaths and injuries, and no one can calculate the specific number of money losses, but everyone knows that this money can feed a city for a year! So the people here basically have self-reliant self-defense forces, and they will also watch for suspicious people around them, and they will eradicate the rioters before they riot!
Qing carried a burden that was not even proportional to her body, and carried a large gray hat like a rag, so that Qing could hide her long hair in the hat. Ran will touch a faint charcoal gray on his face, which can make Qing look like a dwarf who is only one meter and six meters and has been exposed to the sun for a long time. In addition, Qing's deliberate swaying when he walked, so that the people around him basically did not question their own group of people.
A group of people walked nervously and comfortably on the main road of Cermilla, walking past one stall after another and storefronts with uneasy feelings. A few people walked and stopped, and here to see where to touch, basically no different from others. Similarly, Qing also met several waves of his own people, and Qing also saw his own people being discovered, and Qing could only watch them being besieged on the street and beheaded to the ground. And he has to perform schadenfreude and applause----
Leaving silently, as if nothing had happened, he suppressed the team members behind him again and again, not letting them act rashly, they can already say that they can't bear Qing's behavior!
Walking through densely populated neighborhoods, walking through sparsely populated corner paths, and under the guidance of Qing, a group of people by themselves entered a dead end with no people. Qing knew that if he continued like this, his team would fall apart before the plan could begin!
Sure enough, as Qing expected, the atmosphere of the team has now reached a critical point. And Ciel, who had had several contacts with Qing in the team, pushed Qing, who was very different in height, to the earthen wall to the side after entering this no-man's land.
"Ciel, calm me down!"
"Angel, don't persuade me!! I know what I'm doing!! ”
Hill's hand pressed Ao's shoulder very hard, causing the wall behind Ao's back to dent as well!
"Why don't you save them? ----”
It was a heavy question, and his voice trembled, and his heavy voice was as lifeless as if it had been burned to ashes by flames. Compared with the spirit Hill not long ago, he now seems very confused and helpless-----
"You know ---"
Qing pursed her dry lips, Qing didn't want to face these things, but she had to face it.
"We had to do this for the sake of the big picture-----"
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, crushing the heavy atmosphere, and crushing the last nerve called reason in Hill!
"For the sake of the big picture?! Had to do this?! Is it what we should do to watch them get killed!!! You say!!!! ”
The wall behind Qing began to crack, and Hill could now be said to be insane. Angel stuck Hill's head with his arm, he couldn't watch this friend who grew up with him go on like crazy!
"Let go of me! Angel! You're a coward!! Cowards from childhood to adulthood!! Let me go!!! ”
"I'm not going to let you go---- it's all my fault--- I won't look at you like this again! Absolute! ”
I don't know who Angel's words are addressed to, but from Qing's side, it sounds like blaming himself, and a sadness arises from the bottom of his heart------
Looking at the two who were still arguing, the others bowed their heads and were silent. Qing leaned against the deflated wall in frustration, did he really do something wrong? What am I doing wrong? Is there anything wrong with giving up decimal numbers for the sake of the majority--- is calculating the amount of it, choosing to pick up and discard----- obviously he just wants more people--- why is he wrong------ his own team is the key to this plan, and all the success or failure is concentrated at this point. If it succeeds, then all the slaves of Chermilla will be freed and given their freedom----- but ---- defeat will all be in smoke----
Qing had something familiar with him in his distant adventure, but it was Qing who attacked because he didn't hold back, and everyone died, and he escaped death in the chaos---- obviously he was the culprit again, they died, and he survived----
This time--- I thought that the same thing would not happen, and I suppressed all my feelings here, just so that I could save more people and not let the mistake happen again---- but ---- why? ---- you're wrong again? ---Why? -----
I don't know how hot my eyes are, and something that is a little wet comes out----- so I wipe off the sad things and close my eyes to prevent them from flowing out! I am the leader of this team, and I must not show my weak side! Even if it's only temporary, you can't let them see it! You can't and can't do this, you are the tip of the arrow of this team, and if the tip of the arrow is also bent in the oppression, then the arrow will break!
"Angel, let him go---"
Angel heard Ao's words, he knew what Aoi had done, and he knew how Aoi felt watching his companion being killed. He respects Qing's choice, and he lets go of the angry Ciel.
"Hehehe~ Do you know? Do you know what it's like to watch your companions get killed? Do you know that you can save him by pulling out your sword, but you don't feel like doing so? You must not know~ ----"
"I know!"
The resolute answer made the crazy Hill a little stunned, but then he laughed wildly again. The thrill of the companion being killed in front of his eyes, the impact on Hill was too great, and yes, this kind man became crazy and close to collapse!
Looking at the stunned Ciel, Qing walked up to him and relied on his huge strength to make him sit quietly on the ground. He needs to be calm----
"I know what I'm doing, I guess you think I'm a cold-blooded guy, right? Actually, I thought so when I watched them get killed----"
Gently let go of Ciel, who had gradually calmed down, and after the storm, what was left behind was a piece of mutilation and grief. He's crying silently right now, but he's doing it secretly----
"You know what? I used to be like you, but I didn't crush my leader----- I was wiped out. That's what I got. ---- they all died----- all of them, watching them die unwillingly---- I think they must be hating me --- ---"
Look around at your teammates, they are not only their teammates, but also their friends. They are the last pillar of Qing's journey, and they are the last weight of Qing's decision to go on like this, and to raise the balance that is not the same.
"So stand up! I don't want to say it a second time! If you don't stand up---- I'll cut off your heads and go into the slave zone myself to complete the mission! At least I won't let their deaths go to waste! ”
An unwavering will to measure which side of the scales of salvation is measured in absolute numbers. ----- would never make the same mistake myself!
"Mr. Qing, you ----"
"That's not the way you're supposed to be, Angel!"
"Yes--- you're right. I have no objection. ”
The silent team members looked at their most trusted leader, their hero, who led them to thwart the enemy's plots time and time again. But their hero is supporting the cold-blooded man.
Maybe it was Qing's words that worked, or maybe it was their Angel's trust, and the players in silence were not so depressed, and even Hill, who had no fighting spirit, stood up. The team has regained normal mobility, and again, it only appears to be reincapable----
Looking at the team members who bowed their heads and were silent, they no longer had any combat ability, and the slave area was a little distance from the alley. Time is running out, there is no time for them to adjust their emotions, Qing can't let them go to the battlefield like this, but without them, there is no chance of winning this battle-----
"Follow me, the destination is ahead----------------------"
