I really only stop

My sister is very troublesome.As a pure white witch, she has mastered incredible power since she was a child, and Qianqian's eccentric character makes her behavior elusive in the eyes of everyone.I don't know since when, she has been regarded as an uncontrollable dangerous existence by everyone, and she has been silently alienated.

Even so, for this younger sister who was six years younger than himself and had always been childish, Broca still couldn't think of abandoning her.

However, Broca has always had a knot in his heart.

As the priest said, ever since Qianqian was born, the originally fertile and vibrant land in the secret realm has gradually dried up.Affected by the turbid air, the members of the Cangying clan, who were originally in good health, developed a large area of ​​weakness symptoms. A large number of old people fell down in batches, and the atmosphere in the secret realm became increasingly heavy. The key to this situation.

The little brother understands that this is the only solution, but he can't face the separation from his sister.Facing the entanglement in his heart, he can only choose to muddle along, pretending that nothing happened and live a simple life, and hope that the day of parting will come as late as possible.

... Then, Qianqian was taken away today.

Recalling his sister's last expressionless eyes, the younger brother gritted his teeth tightly.

why!Why would you be so unwilling at the moment of parting even though you thought you had already made all the mental preparations!

...Calm down and recall my father's teachings.When your thoughts are chaotic, you should look down at your own shadow and listen to the deepest voice in your heart.

【I want to save Qianqian and let her live happily ever after. 】

Incredibly, this seemingly mysterious method actually worked.The noise in my mind faded away, only this thought was very clear.

Standing up from the ground silently, the little brother exerted a little force, and the shadow restraint on his body was easily burst.

I have given up Qianqian once, the continuation of the ethnic group, the safety of the secret realm, I have given answers to these questions as a hidden shadow hunter.

So--

A dark light flashed in his eyes, and as Broca opened his hand, the war bow that had accompanied him for many years appeared instantly.

Feeling the familiar touch of the palm of his hand, the little brother raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the Shadow Sun Temple:

"Qianqian, I'm here to save you."

Chapter 253 The Poor Imitator

I heard the priest said before that the ceremony must be carried out at dusk of the day, when the shadows are stretched the longest.

So, there is still a chance.

After finally looking at the radiance of the Shadow Sun below the horizon, Broca no longer hesitated, and stretched out his hand to push open the heavy gate of the Shadow Sun Temple.

"……really."

To my little brother's surprise, Harris, who was supposed to start preparing for the ceremony, was sitting in the center of the empty hall at this moment, staring fixedly at his figure as he pushed the door open.

Staring deeply at Broca with eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the chief priest Harris paused for a moment before speaking:

"Son, can you tell me the reason why you came here? I should have told you a long time ago that, except for Priest Shadow Sun, no one else is allowed to step into the temple while preparing for the ceremony."

"...Sorry, Lord Harris."

Tightening the bow in his hand, Broca raised his head firmly: "I'm here to take Qianqian away."

"Oh? You obviously let the priests take the child away without any resistance, but now you want to take her back?"

To Broca's surprise, the gray-robed old man sitting in the center of the temple not only didn't scold him angrily, but smiled with great interest after hearing his ridiculous reasons:

"Let me guess, maybe the reason why you did this is because you feel that you have fulfilled your obligations as a member of the Cangying Clan, and now you want to regain your identity as an older brother?"

"...You are right. Let the priests take Qianqian away safely in order to repay the kindness of the secret realm for nurturing me and her. After that, I will rescue my sister as an elder brother."

Although the face of the old man on the opposite side was calm, and he seemed to have no intention of making a move, the inexplicable sense of oppression still made the little brother tense up all over.

The priest is very strong.As the absolute leader of the secret realm, his manipulation of shadow magic has reached an unprecedented level of mastery.Although his body is old, his experience and fighting consciousness are far superior to those of his youth.If I face him head-on, my chance of winning is definitely not more than [-]%.

"Don't be so nervous, kid. Sit down and talk first."

He clearly saw the tension in the little brother's eyes, but Harris smiled gently, manipulating Broca's shadow to solidify a chair for him:

"I'm very curious, don't you know that if Qianqian is gone, the shadow sun will be extinguished forever, and the Zangying clan who lost the secret realm will also disappear in the long river of history, and will never be mentioned again?"

What a terrifying shadow control ability, since the priest can control my shadow to turn it into a seat, then he can naturally turn it into spikes just now.

"……I see."

Knowing the strength gap between each other, Broca did not choose to sit down, but looked at the old man in front of him with piercing eyes:

"That's why I handed over Qianqian. I didn't rely on anyone's help and came here alone. If you can stop me, the situation you just described will not happen."

This is a fair one-on-one duel, no matter what the result is, he has fought for his sister.

Thinking of this, Broca straightened his chest a little.The natural animal nature from the shadow wolf clan made his blood boil, even in front of the so-called invincible chief priest, he dared to fight with a bow.

"So that's what you think... so, how about this?"

Under Broca's shocked gaze, the old man smiled and retreated to the side of the temple, leaving a wide avenue for the little brother:

"The priests and I will not block your way forward. As long as you follow this path to the end, you will see the preparation site for the ceremony. At that time, you only need to carry the person you want to save on your back, and you will be able to leave the secret realm forever , live the kind of life you want together—of course, as the head priest of Shadow Sun, I guarantee that you will not encounter any obstacles on the way to leave. Now, please."

"!!!"

Looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, Broca's voice seemed a little incoherent due to excessive shock:

"You, what are you doing?! If I save Qianqian, Shadow Sun will really go out!"

"I know, so, it all depends on [you]."

Facing Broca's questioning, the old man in gray robe still maintained that smiling expression:

"Didn't you say that you have fulfilled your obligations as a clansman, and now you want to take her away as Qianqian's elder brother? If that's the case, you shouldn't have any hesitation."

"This!"

Broca tightly grasped the war bow in his hand, but his feet couldn't move a single step as if they were filled with lead.

"As expected."

Slightly stroking his beard, the gray-robed old man was clearly sitting on a chair, but somehow gave him a condescending sense of scrutiny:

"Son, you haven't made up your mind yet. Go home quickly while it's still early."

Come back home?

Hearing that the other party was obviously dealing with children, Broca felt a rush of heat rushing to his brain. He suddenly raised his bow and arrow, and the powerful arrow pointed at the indifferent Harris:

"How is that possible? Of course I'm ready for everything—"

"—no, you didn't."

Broca's words were interrupted mercilessly, and Harris's always kind expression suddenly turned cold at this moment:

"What I just said is not the awareness of [take away Qianqian after a battle], but whether you have the awareness of [even if the secret realm is destroyed due to your own actions, you will not be moved]."

"……I have got!"

Facing the questioning, the little brother pulled the bowstring with all his strength, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"Just as you followed your responsibilities as a leader and decided to completely abandon everything about Qianqian and protect the future of the rest of the tribe with such evil deeds, after I have done my duty as a tribe and handed over Qianqian , I also need to follow my responsibility as a family member, and do the seemingly selfish evil of saving Qianqian—as you said, there are evils that I have to do in this world, and I am willing to practice them This evil."

Yes, the little brother knows that what he is doing now is the same as Harris's [evil deeds], but the latter is giving up all the interests of Qianqian, and he is leaving the safety of his tribe behind.

Since it is impossible to refute Harris's attitude of calmly facing evil deeds from a normal standpoint, then this side also responds with evil deeds-this is Broca's idea.

"But you were wrong, son."

The old man in gray robe sighed deeply, his deep eyes were full of disappointment with the young man in front of him:

"Doing evil is a very simple thing. What is really difficult is to accept and bear the consequences of doing evil. Since you said that you have made up your mind to do evil, then I want to ask you a question—— If you really rescued Qianqian and settled somewhere outside with her, would you feel regretful when you recalled the hometown that was destroyed by your evil deeds?"

"This……"

The latter's movements froze immediately.

Looking at Broca's instantly stiff body as expected, Harris shook his head:

"Look, you can't imagine it, let alone bear it. This is the reason why you didn't choose to move forward when I clearly got out of the way just now. If the old man guessed correctly, you clearly know better than anyone else that you will never be able to rescue him alone. Qianqian, but the reason why she insisted on coming here to face the old man is probably because she never thought about saving Qianqian from the very beginning, but imagined that she was blocked by others on the way to save her, or even by others. The ending of the kill?"

Listening to this in-depth analysis, the little brother's hand holding the crossbow loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, but no matter what, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.The analysis from the wisest priest in the secret realm was like cutting his whole body open, exposing his inner thoughts to the air.

"Sacrifice? Dedication? Self-satisfaction? Wrong, what you are doing now is not fighting for the [future], but simply handing over the choices you cannot make to the old man, hoping to comfort yourself through defeat or even death 'It's an outcome that can't be chosen'."

For the first time since Broca stepped into the temple, he stood up from his seat. Before the little brother could react at all, Harris reached out and pulled him to the front of him instantly with the sharp claws formed by the shadow.

"Being evil is not as easy as you say. You don't understand the struggle of the wicked before becoming evil. In many cases, this is more difficult than living without thinking about anything."

Harris lowered his eyes, stared straight at the latter with eyes like a sharp sword, and said word by word:

"—[Evil deeds]? [Enlightenment]? Don't think it's so easy to imitate adults, innocent child."

"Before I change my mind, let's go home quickly."

Chapter 254

"me……"

Feeling the pressure on his body which was very different from that of the shadow bondage, Broca, who was struggling subconsciously, stopped unconsciously when he saw the eyes of the old man in front of him.

...that look again.

He clearly admitted that what he did was dishonorable, but his eyes were firm and exuded a heroic aura.

Obviously, from the perspective of being a complete onlooker, I should have a sufficient position to refute him now, but for some reason, in the face of this calmness, the originally planned questioning seems so powerless.

"Are you confused? Do you feel like you are standing in the position of a villain just like me, but you are still firmly suppressed by me?"

Clearly seeing the bewilderment and incomprehension in Broca's eyes, Harris fixed him firmly in the air with his shadow, and just stared at him calmly:

"The reason is actually very simple, because of the difference in [spirituality]."

"Your so-called [evil] is a completely childish and impulsive behavior without thinking. You just stepped into this place with a passion for talking nonsense, but in reality you don't even dare to imagine that your evil deeds will bring What kind of consequences will come-your evil is just to give yourself a reason to feel at ease, which is pure ignorance. However, my evil is completely the opposite. "

Clearly telling about his evil deeds, Harris’s face showed an extremely pious look, as if he was not confessing his sins in front of the god statue, but promoting his achievements under the gaze of everyone:

"From the leader's point of view, for the happiness of everyone else, I decided to completely sacrifice Qianqian. I clearly know that this will make me live in guilt towards that girl for the rest of my life, but I still have no regrets." I hesitated to do this. As long as I proceeded according to my arrangement, no one would feel guilty about [Qianqian sacrificed for us]—that’s right, I shouldered what should have been shared by all. [sin], this behavior even surpasses evil, and reaches the point of noble [sacrifice]!"

"!!"

Looking at the fanatical old man in front of him in horror, Broca couldn't connect him with the usually amiable priest.

"Do you understand? Childish child!"

He raised Broca high, and Harris, whose eyes were completely soaked in fanaticism, shouted in an almost roaring voice:

"Under the sun's shining, there are bound to be shadows. It is my dedication, sacrifice, and awareness as a leader to take this unavoidable shadow to myself. At the same time, it is also my most Noble and worthy of admiration by all [evil deeds]!"

"By the way, let me tell you one more thing."

"The old man has long expected that you will come here to mess around, and deliberately told you the wrong start time of the ceremony. When you were arguing with me, the person you want to take away has already been dedicated to Shadow Sun in exchange for A brighter future for our family!"

What, what? !Qianqian has already——

"In this way, you should also understand, you are a childish brat who claims to be [crime], claims to be [justice], and believes that [justice will defeat evil]."

Looking flatly at Broca's desperate struggle, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of Harris' mouth:

"If the shadow is too strong, it can cover the brilliance of the sun. If [evil deeds] are lofty to the height of the old, justice is nothing but something that can be destroyed with a flick of a finger."

Ears keenly caught a melodious bell from Shadow Sun's position, and Harris, who was sure that he was sure of winning, raised his arms high:

"The time has come for the flame to be rekindled, this hope fed by crime, this supreme good will fulfilled by malice! How noble, how tearful--now, rise again, ours Shadow Sun—"

"I think this guy is a second grader than you, Zelika, what do you think?"

"...I will bite you."

——The next moment, the sudden sound in the empty hall made Harris freeze in place.

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

"Who? Who?!"

With Harris' roar, endless shadows spread from under his feet, covering the entire temple in an instant:

"In order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, I have obviously used all my combat power to firmly guard the entrance and exit of the temple. How could there be people other than me and Broca here?!"

"I know that Mr. High Priest, you can't have the guts to play an empty city trick. It turns out that it is a Hongmen Banquet disguised as an empty city trick."

Ignoring Harris' fury, the leisurely male voice that sounded before just smiled slightly:

"If you refer to the hidden shadow hunters ambushing around the temple, half of them were scared to death by dolls, half of them were hammered by a gentle and virtuous messenger of the holy light, and they are probably in a coma or a nightmare now. "
