I really only stop

The gray-robed old man leaned back in his chair quietly, looking at the tall ceiling of the temple:

"Qianqian will still be a sacrifice, and you and I will still be sad for her departure—the only difference is the attitude of the remaining people."

"After learning of Qianqian's fate, out of guilt, the clansmen will take care of Qianqian with extra care, so that this poor little girl can feel the warmth of life as much as possible while she is alive. I will always be surrounded by everyone's love and kindness throughout my life—however, after that? Through communication, the Qianqian and clansmen who have established an unbreakable relationship, can they still accept parting calmly?"

"Of course the answer is no. People are connected through communication, and emotions are created through connections, and because of this emotion, they feel unwilling, remorse, sadness, and despair when they are separated. Qianqianhui is reluctant to leave the relationship between everyone. Warmth, the people of the tribe will always live under the guilt of sacrificing such a lovely girl in exchange for their happiness—is this really what you want?"

Pulled out a line connected by shadow between the two index fingers, and after staring at it for a while, the old man in gray robe cut it in half without hesitation:

"So, what I do is [isolate]. Through confrontation, permanently cut off the production of this connection. No one will feel sad because of the departure of someone who has never met or even has a bad feeling, right?"

"This this……"

Looking at the old man's usually kind and gentle face in disbelief, Broca wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Yes, I also know that doing this is very cruel to Qianqian. However, under the premise that she is doomed to sacrifice, this is the option that will cause the least damage to the whole. As the highest priest of Shadow Sun and the leader of everyone, I have to Don't do that."

Standing up from his seat, under the shadow of the fire, a bottomless shadow was cast on the face of the gray-robed old man, only those eyes that revealed wisdom in the turbidity still exuded a firm brilliance.

"This is [evil], I admit it, and I accept it. I am despicable to Qianqian's evil deeds to the point of heinousness, I completely take her happiness out of consideration, and I am an extremely selfish leader; I imply The villagers spontaneously reject the hero who is about to save us, and there is no moral gratitude or mercy in the village."

Looking at the speechless Broca with piercing eyes, although the figure of the gray-robed old man looked hunched, he exuded an unquestionable aura:

"——However, this is a choice I cannot make a choice. If this inexcusable crime can allow these children I value to live without burden, as the [evil person] in the eyes of you and Qianqian , I have a clear conscience.”

"Perhaps, this is the true meaning of [Shadow of the Sun]."

Chapter 249

With the change of time, the already dim brilliance of Shadow Sun gradually faded, and the sky above his head became more gloomy as a result.Hidden Shadow Secret Realm seems to have replaced the sunrise and sunset scene in this way.

When Lu Xi was playing with the shadow ball in his hand, he walked slowly back to Broca's house with Miss Yuxia, who had frighteningly scorching eyes.For some reason, although the latter has always maintained a paralyzed face, but now there is a trace of dullness and dignity in the facial paralysis.

What's wrong with this product?

"Yo! Brother!"

Raising his hand to greet the preoccupied Broca, Lu Xi asked:

"Have you finished the task entrusted to you by the old priest? The speed is quite fast."

I don't know if it is an illusion, but Broca's answer at this time is quite absent-minded:

"...Ah, um, it's done."

Feeling vaguely that the little brother's current mood was a little bit wrong, Lu Xi frowned puzzledly:

"Then why don't you go in? I saw you wandering around the door from afar."

"I, I'm thinking about putting a flower pot at the door of my house, and I was just thinking about whether I want a red one or a pink one."

With a flustered expression that anyone could see, he casually told a lie, and Broca pushed the door open as if to prove himself:

"Look, I'm going in right now—ghost, ghost?!?!"

He yelled out [scared.mp3] that he had never heard before, and the little brother seemed to get an electric shock, and instantly jumped out of the doorknob in fright.

Catapult start, ten.

Looking into the door curiously, Lu Xi's eyes just met a pale man's face hanging upside down.

Ah, it's one of Nana's dolls.

Having been with the supernatural girl for such a long time, Lu Xi has long sneered at classic horror scenes such as "opening the door" and "back killing". We even have reason to believe that even if he turns off the lights on a rainy night Swiping Dead Silence alone will not cause a little shake, and you may laugh out loud while watching.

"Look at this Mary Xiao, there are only a hundred or so dolls in her hands, not only limited but also weak, and she is simply inferior to Nanabi~"

However, although I already have immunity...

Unobtrusively glanced at Brother Broca, who was frightened into the grass with horror written all over his face, Lu Xi tried hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

To be able to force that kind of paralyzed and high-cold character to such a degree, no matter how much the current version is updated, Nana, the Lord of Strangeness, has always been a TOP0 existence.

Sweeping the hanging head aside with a wave of his hand, Lu Xi walked into the house and asked:

"Nanai? Qianqian? Zorika? What are you all doing? Are you driving a puppet to climb a ladder?"

"Ah! Lucy and the others are back!"

Ruanmei's hurried voice sounded from the pile of puppets, and the next moment, there was a particularly loud crashing sound:

"Oh! I'm going to be tripped—ah, thank you for holding me up, Mamai~"

It seems that just now Nana heard my voice and wanted to come out to meet me, but she tripped over the debris on the ground in a panic, and was caught by Mamai in time when she was about to fall.

I have to say that the Ender Doll is still as reliable as ever.

Helplessly looking at the soft girl who came to greet her, Lu Xi sighed softly:

"Why did you take out all the puppets? Yuxia and I don't care, it's not good to scare the little brother out of anything."

"This is because Celica suddenly said, 'Kukuku~ Since everyone is unwilling to play with Qianqian, then we will summon a hypocritical doll and bring Qianqian a lively dance party in the small garden~' , that’s why I took out all the puppets.”

I have to say that the way Ruanmei stutters and imitates Celica's second breath is not a bit delicate:

"Just now we were playing a game of one, two, three wooden figures with everyone. I really didn't expect to scare Mr. Broca..."

There are too many slots, should I start complaining from 'why did you summon so many real ghosts after hearing Zelika's nonsense' or start from 'why are you three living people playing with a group of real 'wooden men' One, two, three wooden people, why don't you start complaining?

... Forget it, I didn't expect the bad-headed Zerika to come up with any great ideas.

When Lu Xi lifted his forehead and sighed, the white wolf-eared lady and Zelika appeared from nowhere.Seeing Lu Xi's figure, she smiled excitedly:

"Brother Ruoweixi, do you want to join our game too? When Mr. Mamayi stared at me and couldn't move, Qianqian felt super nervous and super exciting. It was even more fun than hunting!"

Weak and weak... brother? !

It's broken!The originally pure Qianqian was completely spoiled by Zarika in this short game time!

After glaring fiercely at Zelika who was making faces triumphantly at this side, Lu Xi coughed dryly:

"What time are you still playing, it's already dinner time, aren't you hungry?"

"Ah! That's a bit of a stretch!"

Celica stroked her stomach, then held Qianqian's hand affectionately:

"Let's go! White wolf-eared girl, today I will show you the ultimate secret method of degrading people's hearts by relying on delicious food—yes! That's barbecue~"

"Oh! Master Celica, please let me see it!"

"That, that, I'll take Cook to see it too!"

Nana hastily took out the unlovable chef doll from the tool bag, and followed the pace of the two live treasures:

"If you ignore them, I always feel that Mr. Broca's house will be burned down!"

"Then, shall I come too?"

Putting her head on her index finger and thinking about it, Yuxia said with a smile:

"It will be bad if Celica is accidentally cut by a kitchen knife. With my holy art, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Zelika grilled meat by herself, yet she had to bother so many people to watch over her.

Lu Xi was silent for a moment, then solemnly nodded to Yuxia:

"Well, then please."

------------

After Nana left, the dolls that filled the room disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only an empty living room.Looking at this alone, it looks like a supernatural event.

"It's been a busy day today."

Throwing himself heavily on the sofa, Lu Xi made a gesture of holding a wine glass to the little brother who was still standing there:

"Do you want to have a drink together tonight? When I was chatting with the werewolf brother who led the way just now, I heard that the Yingri wine here is very famous?"

"...It's not about fame. If Lu Xi is willing, I have a few bottles of good vintages at home."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and when he thought of his own thoughts, Broca's expression suddenly became solemn again.

After deliberating for a long time, he spoke with difficulty as if he had made a great determination:

"After staying here for one night, can I ask you to leave Hidden Shadow Secret Realm the next day?"

Chapter 250 Leave

"Huh? Let's leave?"

Looking at the little brother who suddenly issued an order to evict in surprise, Lu Xi sat up straight from the sofa:

"What happened? If you encounter difficulties, we are willing to help."

"No, nothing."

This time, the little brother shook his head very resolutely: "It's just that the identity of you shadowless people is a disguise after all. Although the technique you use is very magical, it is inevitable that people will see the flaws after a long time. You should also see it, Lu Xi. Although the Zangying clan is very united internally, they have a certain degree of resistance to communicating with the outside world. If your identities are discovered, it will be an unpleasant thing for both parties. Before such a thing happens, get out in time. It would be wise to step back."

Justified and convincing.

"Oh I got it."

Looking at the little brother with an unnatural look, Lu Xi suddenly asked a somewhat abrupt question:

"—But, are you sure?"

The little brother hesitated for a long time this time, but nodded:

"……Um."

"I understand. After a night of trouble here, we will leave early tomorrow morning and return to Rhine City."

Hearing such an answer, Lu Xi simply stood up from the sofa, turned and walked towards the kitchen:

"I'll also check on Zelika's situation. Although Nana and Yushiya are watching, if that guy goes berserk, he might really burn your house down."

The little brother watched his back and nodded silently.

------------

The dinner, which was a bit dull in atmosphere, passed smoothly like this. Although the home of the little brother and Qianqian is not very spacious, it is not a problem to allocate separate rooms for everyone.

Lying quietly on the bed, Broca looked sideways at the moonless sky in the secret territory, and the thought flashed through his mind more than once:

...is it really good to do this?

The purpose of strongly inviting Lu Xi and the others, apart from Qianqian's inexplicable closeness to Lu Xi, actually also contains a little brother's selfishness.

From the brief contact, Broca could see very clearly that everyone in this seemingly unscrupulous team of leisure and health care possessed unusually powerful abilities.

Whether it's Ms. Nana's amazing puppet technology, or Ms. Yushia's ability to easily suppress Qianqian's strength, or even someone who hasn't shown her true strength yet, but just by looking at her aura, you can tell that she is definitely a superpower Miss Celica—It is no exaggeration to say that Broca thinks that even if there are a hundred more, he will definitely not be a match for the three of them.What's more, there was Lu Xi behind them.

Recalling the scene when he was pressed to the ground by Lu Xi to eat dirt for no apparent reason, Broca's eyes seemed to have a gleam of light.

It is precisely because of the unimaginable strength of Lucy's team that I want to find a solution to shallow problems from them.At this time when the ceremony is about to come, I even think that they are the hope sent by God to solve the shallow problem.

...However, the conversation with the priest completely put an end to this idea.

Calmness, in the eyes of the priest, I can only see a piece of calmness.

Whether he admitted his bad deeds or explained his plan, even at the end, when the priest himself said that he was evil and was very willing to accept it, his eyes did not waver in the slightest.

As a wise leader, he chose this approach after considering all aspects.From the standpoint of being a complete bystander, what the priest did was indeed the best choice.

Asking others for help is ineffective in the first place.Can I still ask Lu Xi and the others to rescue Qianqian, and then sit back and watch my hometown lose the sun forever?

Gritting his teeth firmly, even though Broca tried his best to close his eyes, a trace of crystal still flickered in the corner of his eyes.

...too childish.

Compared with the firmness of the priest who is still willing to bear this crime even though he knows that what he has done is evil and that he will live in guilt for the rest of his life, I put all my hopes on Lu Xi and the others, just hope The mentality of expecting miracles to happen is too naive.

I hate myself for being like this, even in front of the priest, I can't even utter a word of rebuttal.

...However, it is useless to think about these now.

Recalling that he had issued an order to expel Lu Xi and the others, Broca took a deep breath, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
