my stealth fighter

Chapter 365 Reflection

the next day.

After midnight, it's the next day.

With a heavy heart, Jiang Chanji and the others finally escaped far enough away for Aurora to pick them up with a helicopter.

The fuel of the helicopter is also almost exhausted. If there is a delay of a few more minutes, the helicopter will have to return to the camp on its own. It is still unknown whether they can fly back to the camp due to the increased load on them.

The passenger compartment cannot accommodate so many people. Jiang Chanji and No. 33 grabbed the landing gear of the helicopter and flew all the way to the camp. When they were about to arrive at the camp, the fuel gauge alarmed. Farmland, waist-deep in weeds, the helicopter barely landed safely.

Those who remained in the camp had been radioed ahead of time and were picked up in SUVs with lighting gear.

"Is everyone alright?" Xiaosui, who was staying in the camp, was already very anxious. She saw that the sky in the distance was turning red, and she didn't know what was going on.There was not enough water in the fire, and even if Aurora's ice particles fell, they would evaporate, so she couldn't help and voluntarily stayed.

Xiaosui took a glance. Compared with when she went, there were more Ouyang Caiyue and Baby, more Catherine and No. 33 in the team, but Rafa was missing.

"Where's Rafa?" She looked into the helicopter again, and the helicopter was empty.

Everyone's faces became even more ugly, Jiang Chanji said: "It's hard to explain, let Ouyang Caiyue and the baby go back to the camp to rest first, everyone is very tired tonight."

Everyone was exhausted, their bodies and faces were covered with ashes, and No. 33 and Catherine were even more exhausted. The past few days of sleeping in the forest had tortured them enough, and they urgently needed a lot of water and food.

Xiaosui is very good at observing words and expressions. The sky was too dark and she didn't see clearly just now. At this moment, Jiang Chanji's tone was wrong. She peeked at it and roughly knew that Rafael was probably dead. Otherwise, Jiang Chanji would not suggest resting instead of going back to rescue him. Raphael.

She was also very sorry, but after all, Raphael had no relationship with everyone, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't survive. Fortunately, he successfully exchanged one person for three people plus a baby, and his death was worthwhile.

Everyone got into the off-road vehicle and went back to the camp.

Aurora has been using her abilities continuously and intensively, and she is very tired, but she can't rest yet. After the helicopter is refueled, she will fly back with the helicopter and continue to put out the fire to prevent the forest fire from re-igniting.

When we arrived at the camp, the chef had already prepared a lot of food, and no one said anything. We wiped our faces and hands with towels and started eating.

Ouyang Caiyue and Chen Yiyi hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of food, heard the baby crying again, and knew that it was dragged in the towel again, so they stopped eating and left the tent to clean up the baby's body, so as not to spoil everyone if they messed up in the tent appetite.

There is no way, a baby is a creature that can eat and poop, but can't keep feces and urine, but in the camp, it is easy to get, and diapers are hard to find.

"Hey, hey! You all have sad faces, are you being bullied miserably? Who told you not to take me with you, if I go with you, I will definitely beat any vampire into a vampire!" Mio was full of energy There was nowhere to go, but Jiang Chanji didn't take her there, making her anxious like a cat on a hot pot.No one spoke, but she couldn't hold back her words.

Mi Ao made a start, and No. 33 also put down his chopsticks with a slap, and suddenly got up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, and I will take my leave!"

"What are you doing on the 33rd?" Xiaosui hurriedly grabbed her.

"You can ask them, they just think that I killed Lafayette, that's why they all have bitter faces! If that's the case, let's break it up!" No. 33 said with a cold face.

Seeing the atmosphere, Mi Ao knew that he was talking too much and got into trouble just now, so he shrunk his body quietly, and then slipped out of the tent while no one was paying attention, so as to save himself from being scolded later, he might as well go out to catch crickets in the dark.

Xiaosui looked at the others, and Qianyang gave her winks frequently, but Xiaosui couldn't understand it.

"You think too much on the 33rd, and we don't blame you." Jiang Chanji wiped the oil on his hands with a napkin, "And I thought about it on the way, maybe your advice to Rafael is the right one, and we are too wishful thinking .”

No. 33's face turned pale, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart, because what she thought just now was, if they just broke up as soon as they said it, what would happen to her?Really turn around and leave as soon as you slap the table?
Qianyang quietly walked to Xiaosui's side, and quietly told the story of the incident in Fuer, focusing on the final outcome.

After listening to Xiaosui, she put herself in the situation and thought about it. The situation was indeed a dilemma, and everyone had a reason. She could only be thankful that she didn't make the decision herself.

Jiang Chanji said: "My original intention was that I didn't want to give up any of my companions. Everyone should come together, even if it was Rafa who was hostile before, but after thinking about it on the way, Rafa's situation at that time was so bad that he couldn't bear it at all. Running away all the way would really hurt me to death—in other words, I only considered my own wishes, to make myself comfortable, and ignored Rafael’s own feelings, purely to satisfy my own vanity."

Qianyang also mustered up the courage to criticize herself: "I also reflected on the road. At that time, I persuaded Rafi that it is better to die than to live, but is this really the case?"

She took Xiaosui's hand, and continued: "I have experienced it myself, the feeling that life is better than death, and I just want to die quickly. Why should I turn around and persuade others that death is worse than life? Many times, death is the most important thing. For me, it’s more like a relief. Although I should be stronger than before, I still can’t bear to look back on the past. If I were to exchange the current me with the past me, I dare not say that I can bear it. pain."

Everyone can say beautiful words, hold on, be stronger, and die better than live. But if the speaker is pierced through the abdomen, suffering from internal organs being corroded and dying slowly, every step along the way will tear the internal organs and wounds, How confident is the speaker to say those beautiful words?

"So, for Rafa, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. On the 33rd, you have the courage to say those words, but we are evading our responsibilities." Jiang Chanji shook his head, "Our face is not good because we found out that we were wrong. It's me, I don't have any opinion on you."

They reflected so deeply that No. 33 felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, she also knows that for those who have not received Bushido education, what she did just now may indeed be a bit too much, because no matter what subjective purpose Rafael came for, objectively speaking, he came to save her and Catherine. Yes, and her suggestion sent Rafael to a dead end, which kind of meant revenge, so if they really wanted to drive her away, she had nothing to say.

Xiaosui smoothed things over in time, "Okay, okay~ Everyone is thinking about Rafael, so it's okay to talk about it, this matter is neither blamed on Chanji and the others, nor on No. 33, it should be blamed on Lilith, why do you Do you want to take the responsibility on yourself?"

Qian Yang forcefully pushed No. 33 back on the seat, "Don't say anything angry about No. 33, everyone never blames you."

No. 33 came down the steps, and sat down on the spot with a half-push.

"I will pray for Rafa, hoping that her soul will go to heaven," Arabella said.

Rafa doesn't necessarily hope that her soul will go to heaven, but she hopes that she can be reincarnated. If she can become a family again with her younger siblings after reincarnation, that's what she hopes most.

"Raphael may not die." Jiang Chanji said.

Catherine answered, "It might be better to die."

"Not necessarily."

"What do you mean?" Catherine frowned and put down the bread in her hand.

To the sisters, all vampires are enemies and must be killed, and there is no such thing as a friend becoming a vampire or being a friend.

Xiaosui kept winking at Jiang Chanji, meaning that after finally comforting No. 33, don't provoke Catherine, okay?Isn't this pressing the gourd and scooping it up?
Jiang Chanji looked at Catherine thoughtfully, "I thought about it just now. The world is full of wonders. Since there is the ability to turn into a vampire, it doesn't mean that there is no ability to turn against a vampire, right?"

Don't mention Catherine, everyone else thinks it's a fantasy. Although the types of abilities are diverse and emerge in endlessly, how could it be so coincidental that an anti-vampire ability appeared and happened to be encountered by them?
"Don't think about it too much. Aren't people with the ability to reverse vampires far away from the horizon?" Jiang Chanji shifted his gaze to Arabella.

"Arabella?" Catherine was dumbfounded.

Arabella froze for a moment, and it took a few seconds before she realized that everyone was staring at her.

"Uh, did Chanji misunderstand something? I don't have the ability to turn back into a vampire, my ability is just..." She tried to explain the misunderstanding.

"I know, but I think this is the ability to reverse vampires. That's why Lilith showed undisguised killing intent towards you. She knows this very well. I only figured it out on the way back." Jiang Chanji elaborated Said, "Why is she always playing with others casually, but why is she eager to get rid of you and then quickly?"

Everyone listened quietly.

He continued: "The so-called anti-vampire, the important thing is not the anti-vampire of the body, but the spiritual aspect. As long as Lafayette's original consciousness can be reawakened, the vampirization of the body is not a bad thing. Fei becomes stronger...Of course, vampires have to drink blood, and meat is not easy to deal with, but as long as you have money, it is not a problem to spend money to buy blood for her. Although this is not very moral, as long as it can save a life, I think God Should understand."

The second half of the sentence is used to persuade the sisters.

"But..." Arabella hesitated, "You have also seen that I can only awaken a small part of the obsession in my heart, far from awakening the original consciousness."

"Yeah, but you only said a few words." Jiang Chanji nodded, "I mean, a few words have so much power, if you detain Rafael, you try to It has been a long time to awaken her consciousness, maybe there is a little possibility, after all, there is an old saying - sincerely, water drops through stone."

"What water drop wears through stone? It's obvious that gold and stone can open it!" Qianyang complained, and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Chanji made a mistake on purpose, in order to liven up the atmosphere that was too heavy.

Arabella fell into deep thought and murmured, "Awakening her consciousness day after day..."

"You must have worked very hard." Jiang Chanji added.

She shook her head, "It's nothing to work hard. If I can really reawaken Raphael's consciousness, let alone day after day, even year after year, I'm willing to try."

Catherine's brows were still furrowed, and it was really difficult for her, who was obsessed with morals and cleanliness, to accept her sister's peaceful coexistence with a vampire, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"From the performance of Ouyang Caiyue's companion, if it is not a vampire transformed by Lilith herself, but a person transformed by other vampires, the erosion of sanity will be slowed down a lot. If Rafa is transformed by Kali as he wishes, we will I believe that with her belief and will, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all, at least she should try."

Jiang Chanji still patiently understands the reason, after all, this matter needs Arabella's consent, and Arabella must obey her sister's words, so at least Catherine can't get in the way.

Arabella thought for a while, then looked at her sister, "Catherine, I think what Chan Ji said makes sense, what do you think?"

Catherine wanted to refute, but she changed her mind and said, "If you think you can try it, then try it, but the premise is to ensure your own safety."

It was beyond everyone's expectation that Catherine agreed so easily, especially Jiang Chanji, who had been searching his brains to come up with other excuses to persuade her, but now he saved everything.

As for why Catherine agreed so simply, because the experience of coming to the East this time made her think a lot. Although she is willing to spend her whole life protecting her younger sister, after all, her younger sister has grown up and should have her own opinions instead of obeying her in everything. It means that using this matter as an opportunity is also a good choice.

Arabella will always be her most precious sister, but she is not her appendage. She has taken care of all kinds of things since she was a child. Now it is time for the chicks to learn to fly away from the nest. Probably the dean The idea of ​​sending Arabella here alone is similar.

Catherine was worried that although she narrowly escaped death this time, she might not be so lucky every time in the future. In case something happened to her, what would she do with her mentally unweaned sister?
If she has an accident, she needs family and friends to encourage and comfort her sister, and support her to face it with strength.

The nuns in the monastery are not so much Arabella's friends, but more like family members. The monastery is a big family, and they still need friends outside of family members.

Back then when their mother chose Hongye Academy for them, it was because of the school spirit and discipline of this school. Although it was a pity that they missed out, if they could become friends with the students of Hongye Academy, it would make up for the regret, and by the way, it would also comfort their parents. up.

Only when she thinks about her sister can Catherine overcome her obsession with moral cleanliness.

The premise of everything is that Rafael is still alive.
