Protagonist interpretation rules

Chapter 26 Never wavered
The ward fell silent.

The hunter leader, whose upper body was wrapped in layers of bandages, was deep in thought, while the inhuman-looking priest sat aside and waited patiently.

After a moment, Bai Yue shook his head.

"As the doctor said, Mr. Reverend, I can't remember anything."

The hunter spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer right now."

The pastor didn't respond.

After a long time, he sighed deeply: "It seems... Archbishop Bourne's prediction has finally come true."

"prophecy?"

"Yes, the moment your team entered Institute No. [-], Bishop Bourne received the revelation of the Holy Spirit and made a prediction about the future."

The priest looked at the weak-looking hunter and said softly: "The Archbishop predicted that you will successfully prevent the outbreak of great pollution, but your consciousness will break away from the shackles of the world during this trip, and then ascend to the worry-free heaven and obtain eternal rest. "

Bai Yue: "..."

This prophecy sounds really good, but my waist hurts a little afterwards.

The hunter frowned at this time, and Bai Yue felt that everything in this deep layer was shrouded in hazy fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

The deep Golden Kingdom that he swallowed and fell into was a ruined world with a red moon and a golden river hanging in the sky.

But before Bai Yue could further explore the ruins, the ancient city swayed into a double image amidst a strange noise. The boy's soul fell into the body of a hunter and came to an unknown deep city-state.

Bai Yue had heard this kind of rustling noise in Lao Wen's recording screen.

That's where people's perceptions get distorted.

Unfortunately, with the change of identity, the set props such as the Human Prison and Klein's Box have disappeared and are temporarily missing.

The good news is that there is someone around Bai Yue who he can communicate with.

In his quiet inquiry, Bai Yue learned that the residents of the city-state had established order in the depths of chaos.

Under the management of the three major forces: the Council Hall, the Holy Temple, and the Research Institute, people in the city-state are fighting against unknown ghost pollution.

He was vaguely aware that he was steadily approaching the truth hidden behind the Golden Kingdom.

The next thing will be easy to handle.

I can completely use the guise of amnesia to fully integrate into this deep world as Leonard, thereby digging out more details and creating wonderful works that nurture the extraordinary.

As the old writer said, there are a lot of settings waiting to be mined by yourself!

The thought was completed in an instant, and curiosity and expectation flashed in the hunter's eyes.

Bai Yue raised his head: "Mr. Pastor, can you tell me the ins and outs of the entire incident?"

"Of course, but to facilitate communication, you can call me by my first name, Leonard, the leader."

The pastor nodded and put down the prayer book in his hand: "My name is Ron."

Immediately afterwards, Ron took out a metal pipe and a small pack of brown tobacco from the pocket of his coat.

"You don't mind?" The pastor squeezed out a laugh from his throat.

Bai Yue waved his hand, indicating to the other party to please.

"Thank you for your understanding. Ever since my tongue was replaced by a cold gear, this is what I want to live for."

The priest filled the tobacco and kneaded it to loosen it. Amidst the sound of the cotton wick of the metal lighter rubbing, the acrid smoke suddenly filled the room.

"The cause of this tragedy originated from a telegram."

Ron adjusted his mask and put the pipe in his mouth.

"Three days ago, Professor Griffith, the administrator of Institute No. [-], sent a telegram to the Council Hall and the Holy Temple at night. He claimed that he had discovered the source of ghost pollution in his research, and He found a great way to solve pollution, and in order to prove his statement, the professor left detailed research data and proof in the telegram."

The pastor's tone gradually became lower: "Unfortunately...in the telegram written by Professor Griffith, the so-called 'data and proofs' are all messy fonts and weird graffiti." "When the parliament hall received the telegram, When the clerk discovered this problem, his eyeballs had grown to eight."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, the glass bottle on the wooden table next to them trembled. Bai Yue and the pastor turned their heads and found that the soaked squirming kidney had been divided into two parts.

"Well, it's exactly the same as your kidney that was cut out."

The pastor smiled: "It is said that the employee likes to complain about the distribution of salary. Fortunately, an abnormality occurred and he received a large amount of compensation as he wished."

Bai Yue: "..."

"Obviously, Research Institute No. [-] has been lost."

Ron exhaled a breath of smoke: "On that night, all the personnel who had worked in Research Institute No. [-] had ghost mutations. Their limbs and organs began to proliferate, and they were transmitted to their families. Haha ...By the Holy Spirit...many people died that night..."

Bai Yue was silent, and the hunter suddenly remembered his companion's young face.

"The Holy Church has dispatched all hunters urgently."

The priest continued: "They began to hunt down those crazy sources of pollution. As for you, Captain Leonard, you led the team to take over the most dangerous mission."

"We... hunted Professor Griffith..."

The hunter murmured.

"Yes, it's worth celebrating that you succeeded."

The priest filled the pipe with new tobacco, not caring about his mute throat: "But you also paid a heavy price, just as the bishop predicted."

"You are the only survivor of the team, Leonard. Your deputy sacrificed himself. He used a fire phosphorus bomb to detonate the contaminated Facereaper, buying time for reinforcements from other hunters."

Ron paused, and after a moment, he whispered:

"His name is Jay, he is my brother and my only relative."

The room fell silent again.

But Bai Yue's eyes were still calm.

Leonard looked directly at the pastor's brass face and asked, "Do you hate my original decision? Pastor Ron?"

"Do not misunderstand."

Ron shook his head: "In this damn world, all of us are ready to die. I will not insult Jay's choice. I just want an answer."

Amidst the smoke, the priest unfolded the thick prayer book. At this moment, the golden lantern hanging around his waist glowed softly.

Ron asked solemnly word for word:
"Leonard was leading the team and Deputy Jay was performing his mission. Did he flinch?"

The priest's lantern seemed to illuminate the past, and the dark alley appeared in front of Bai Yue's eyes. The tired young man put down the unconscious leader. He faced the crazy monster, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and stepped forward. .

The hunter replied, "Never backed down."

"When Deputy Jay faced despair, did his lantern lose its light?"

Even though the chest was pierced by flesh and blood, even though the sword was broken, the light of the lantern still illuminated the dark night.

Leonard replied: "Never extinguished."

"At the moment Deputy Jay was dying, was his will shaken?"

At this moment, the hunter recalled the young man's firm eyes. Under the light of the lantern, Bai Yue finally heard the other person's last words clearly.

'Captain Leonard... please... protect this world on my behalf...'

"I made a deal with him then, Ron."

Bai Yue did not answer the priest's last question. Under the other's doubtful eyes, the hunter smiled.

"A pact between men."
