Human, am I evil?

"...it is good."

Wendy smiled and said thank you, then leaned on Di Ruiji and closed her eyes with peace of mind.

"Di Ruiji..."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you, it's nice to have you by my side."

"...Me too."

Volume 327: [-]: You are also a descendant of the kingdom of Kanria, right?

"Huh? It's a bit strange, this Qiuqiu man."

The next day, Di Ruiji left Mond City alone, and was about to go back to her flower field to have a look, but when she came to the flower field, she saw a rather special Qiuqiu person.

He didn't dance and make weird noises like other Qiuqiu people, but sat quietly under the tree, looking at the beautiful flowers blooming around him, as if immersed in this beautiful illusion.

Qiuqiu people usually come and go in groups. Logically speaking, there should be other accomplices near him, but according to Di Ruiji's induction, there is only this Qiuqiu person nearby.

This is a bit interesting, Di Ruiji walked straight up to the Qiuqiu man, noticing Di Ruiji's approach, the Qiuqiu man just looked up at her, and didn't pay any attention to it.

Even if he knew that Di Ruiji would kill him, he didn't resist at all, as if he hoped that Di Ruiji would do so.

"...It's really a special existence. Could it be that it's because the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, so it's so fearless?"

Di Ruiji had eliminated many Qiuqiu people, but they were all Qiuqiu people who had provoked her. If the Qiuqiu people did not come to provoke her, she would not mind letting these Qiuqiu people live near her flower fields.

"Let me see... how special you are, Qiuqiu."

As he said that, Di Ruiji reached out to touch the mask of the Qiuqiu, and a slight force was injected into his body. The structure of the Qiuqiu is basically similar to that of a human being. Di Ruiji can see the Qiuqiu's face without any other operations. memory.

She thought that she would only look at the memory of this Qiuqiu person living in the tribe, but what she didn't expect was that the memory buried deepest in the memory of this Qiuqiu person was in a human city, an area quite Bustling city.

He was not born as a Qiuqiu, but in his memory, he was a human being, probably only a few years old.

"Human? The original appearance of the Qiuqiu people...is it human?"

Di Ruiji blinked, and she recalled what Tianli had said to her when she came to look for her before.

This Qiuqiu people should not be the people of the destroyed country-Kanria?He actually lived for hundreds of years, how did he do it?

With this doubt, Di Ruiji continued to delve into the memory of the Qiuqiu people, and learned about the curse that the surviving people of Kanria had suffered, because this curse caused them to become what they are today.

The reason why they wear masks is because they are afraid of seeing themselves, afraid of seeing themselves so inhuman.

"It's actually like this... a curse, and it's a curse at the conceptual level. I don't know if such a curse can be absorbed by me."

Thinking of this, Di Ruiji no longer accepted the memory, but tried to absorb the curse in Qiuqiu's body, but the moment Di Ruiji connected with the curse in Qiuqiu's body, she felt an unreasonable shock towards her. She attacked, trying to erode her soul, everything about her.

It was really a ferocious offensive. Such a formula scared Di Ruiji, who had been at ease for so many years, for a while, but she quickly suppressed the impact of the curse.

This was the first time she had faced a concept-level curse. It had been firmly bound to Qiuqiu's body, and it would take a long time to strip it from Qiuqiu's body.

She experienced the curse on the Qiuqiu people. Although it was at the conceptual level, it didn't have a big impact on her, and she could easily digest it.

But for the Qiuqiu people, this is indeed extremely painful, the kind that even the lord can't bear. It's hard to imagine how ordinary people can bear such pain.

Di Ruiji absorbed the curse, and about a third of the time, Di Ruiji stopped moving.

Why?Because she found that the process of pulling the curse away from him was quite painful, not for Di Ruiji, but for this Qiuqiu man.

Although he was close to the state of exhaustion, Di Ruiji didn't want his life to die with pain at the last moment.

It may be sympathy, or it may be respect for life. Although she has wiped out countless Qiuqiu people, Di Ruiji's respect for life will not change.

"Please..."

Just when Di Ruiji gave up pulling away the curse, the Qiuqiu man suddenly spoke.

It's not the language of the Qiuqiu people, but the normal...human language. Although the voice is quite hoarse, even though it's so unskilled, and even though it's extremely weak, it still speaks.

"Please...please help me get the curse, all...all out, please...please, my lord."

Di Ruiji looked at him silently, didn't act immediately, and asked: "Your body can't last until the moment when the curse is stripped, maybe when the curse is removed, your life will end. Pull it out, and you can live for a while."

"Live? Hehe, the current me... can I still be said to be alive? Even if I am still alive, I am still in great pain."

The Qiuqiu people who were born later had no idea, but the survivors of Kerriya who lived with the curse to this day like him were not like this.

He is very aware of the fact that he was once a human being, and it is precisely because of this that every time he thinks that he has become this inhuman and ghostly appearance, there is only pain in his heart.

For him, every moment of life is a kind of torture, a kind of pain. In this case, why not choose to be liberated?

"I...I wish I could die a human, so...please, my lord. Help me, help me."

To die as a human... Well, it is really a rather humble wish. He knows that he can't give Di Ruiji any reward, and he also understands that Di Ruiji's previous actions were just a whim.

But she grasped this faint hope, no matter what, He hopes to meet the conclusion of life with human life.

Therefore, no matter how humble what he did, he will continue to do so.

Di Ruiji didn't answer, he put his hand on the Qiuqiu man's mask again, this time he increased the speed of withdrawing the curse.

Because of this action, the Qiuqiu people wailed in pain. For some reason, it was clearly a wail of pain, but Di Ruiji could hear that it was mixed with joyful emotions.

Soon, the removal of the curse was completed, and the original body of Qiuqiu became a normal person with the removal of the curse.

Di Ruiji reached out and took off the mask on his face. Behind the mask was the face of a boy. Although hundreds of years had passed, his appearance remained the same as the moment of disaster.

A very ordinary boy, the kind who would not be noticed if he was still with others.

But this kind of boy has been living for hundreds of years, and he doesn't know what is supporting him to live until now.

Even though he didn't have much time, and his body was in great pain, he still showed a bright smile.

"Thank you, my lord. I feel well now, really well."

"Can you...raise my hand and let me see the current me? The current me...will I become a human again? Am I... still a monster?"

Di Ruiji shook his head, took out a mirror from the storage space and put it in front of the boy, looking at the familiar self in front of the mirror, the boy smiled brighter.

Tears fell from his eyes, and no one knew how he felt right now, maybe he was happy, or maybe he was sad.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you for allowing me to turn back into a human being at the last moment of my life. I... have no regrets."

Saying that, the boy closed his eyes with a smile on his face, and lay quietly under the tree, as if he had fallen asleep, blending into the beautiful flowers.

Di Ruiji looked at the boy speechlessly, and was about to pick him up when the boy's body suddenly turned into a faint light and disappeared into the air little by little.

The light spots formed by the boy's body floated in the air, like fireflies that can be seen at night. Even if it is daytime, Di Ruiji can see this slightly bright light drifting into the distance little by little.

"Kanria...Because of their excessive desire to explore, they opened the magic box that sealed the demons. In order to protect the world, Tianli destroyed this brilliant civilization. Which side is right and which side is wrong?"

Di Ruiji couldn't give an answer for the time being, but if she insisted on making a choice, it might be right to choose Tianli.

Because she witnessed the disaster brought by [Honkai] with her own eyes, the reason why this world can exist until now is because the martyrs in the past sacrificed themselves to deceive the world.

In order to live up to the sacrifices of these martyrs and to keep this world alive, Tianli had to make such a move.

Di Ruiji suddenly remembered what she had read in a certain book, [knowledge is a curse], which she could not understand before, but now she somewhat understands the meaning of this sentence.

"When are you going to see it there? If you step into my flower field without my permission, do you think you are from Mond City, and I won't do anything to you?"

Di Ruiji, who was still thinking about something, suddenly said, his tone was colder than standing on the Longji Snow Mountain in light clothes.

That person had already appeared a long time ago, and she didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he saw that he had transformed that Qiuqiu man back into a human being, his emotions fluctuated violently, so that Di Ruiji could no longer remain indifferent.

Threatened by Di Ruiji, this person hiding in the dark also came out, and it was the cavalry captain of the West Wind Knights who was secretly following her, a guy whom Di Ruiji hated.

"I'm sorry, Miss Di Ridge. I didn't mean to follow you, I just..."

"Why did your mood change just now? Why are you so excited?"

Before Kaiya could finish the words of that foolish person, Di Ruiji interrupted Kaya's words and asked directly.

"I..."

"You...couldn't you also be a remnant of the kingdom of Kanria? Kaia Alberic."

This time, Kaiya couldn't maintain her usual smile, and her expression changed drastically.

Volume 328: [-]: Reasons for the Destruction of the Country

Kaiya, a rather mysterious person, he is the captain of the cavalry in Mond City, Qin's trusted deputy, and the tasks assigned to him are often perfectly completed.

It’s just that he likes fishing a little bit. Occasionally you can see him drinking in [Angel’s Gift] during working hours, and occasionally drinking with Rosalia, which is punished by Qin for mining.

Let’s not talk about these places that people can’t help but want to complain about. His popularity in Mond City is quite good, he treats people kindly, and at the same time he is good at making friends with other people.

But this person is quite mysterious, even his stepbrother Di Luke knows very little about him, and he has no intention of expressing his life experience.

It wasn't until he saw Di Ruiji transforming a Kanrui remnant back to its original appearance that he showed very strong emotional fluctuations. Through this, Di Ruiji guessed whether he might be the destroyed Kanri The descendants of the sub-kingdom.

Kaiya didn't answer Di Ruiji's question right away, his expression quickly returned to normal, he waved his hands as usual, with a look of "You really know how to joke", and wanted to change the subject as usual.

But how could Di Ruiji let go of this good opportunity, and he was not prepared to give this guy any face.

"Even if you want to deny it, it's useless. I can directly read your memory and get what I want from your head. If you want to experience this feeling, you can continue this performance."

"...Does it have to be like this? Miss Di Ruiji. Can't this matter stop here? Haven't we been getting along very well so far?"

Kaiya was very helpless, he was really not good at dealing with people like Di Ruiji.

The lip service he was proud of had no effect on her, and he was no match for her in terms of strength.

Even silence was useless. She would not be friendly to him just because she was a member of the Zephyr Knights. She really knew how to read her own memory, and Kaia understood this deeply.

"Happy? Not happy at all. The last thing I want to see in the Knights is you. Not only because of your hypocrisy, but also because you wanted to use moral kidnapping to get me to hand over [ Doctor], I hate you even more."

In the [Doctor] incident, when the members of the Zephyr Knights came, Kaiya wanted to take the [Doctor] away, and use the special status of the [Doctor] to seek some benefits for Mond from the fools.

There was nothing wrong with doing this, but Di Ruiji didn't like it very much. She was not going to let 【Doctor】 go, and warned him to leave there immediately, but Kaiya still wanted to say something to fight for it.

In the end, if it weren't for Qin's intervention, I'm afraid Di Ruiji would have a conflict with the West Wind Knights.

This is the case, and Kaiya actually said that they got along very happily?Yes, happy to the point of wanting to erase him from this world, you say happy or not!

"..."

Well, it seems that there is really no chance at all, and Di Ruiji has fully felt his antipathy towards him.

At this time, if Di Ruiji didn't reveal the information obediently, Di Ruiji would never let him go.

He scratched his head, he didn't expect that what he had been hiding all this time would be exposed here.

"Well, you won, Miss Di Ridge. I admit that, as you think, I am indeed a descendant of the Kingdom of Kanria, the orthodox one."

Speaking of this, Kaiya's expression became extremely serious, and she didn't appear to be joking just now.

"No wonder you had such a big mood swing when you saw me turning him back into a human. That's why."

Di Ruiji looked at Kaiya for a long time, and waved his hand. The scenery in front of Kaiya changed, and Di Ruiji sent him out of the flower field.

The following topic is not suitable for the flower field. She doesn't think it will be a friendly conversation. In order to avoid the flower field being affected, it is better to chat outside.

"I won't ask you what is the purpose of following me secretly. As a descendant of Kanria, you don't have any plans to restore the country, do you?"

A red light flashed in Di Ruiji's eyes. If he is a descendant of Kanria, then his relationship with Kong is unusual.

If he really has this idea, then there is a possibility that Kaya could become Sora's undercover agent and retaliate against Mond at the right time, which is not good for Mond.

Faced with such questioning, Kaiya smiled easily and naturally.

"Why would I do that kind of thing? It's not wrong for me to be a descendant, but I'm not a descendant of the royal family, so why do I have to do such a troublesome thing. Besides, do you think I have the ability to do this kind of thing?"

Kaiya shook his head. He didn't have the capital needed to restore the country. He was just a cavalry captain of the Zephyr Knights.

Apart from completing my own work, what I have to do every day is to maintain the safety of Mond City. If I have spare time, I will go to [Angel's Gift] to drink and drink. How can I have time to do such troublesome things.

Not lying, what he said was true.

"In this case, why are you so excited after seeing him change back to the original human?"

"...I don't know, maybe there is a little fantasy in my heart. But I understand that it is just a fantasy after all, it is just an unrealistic dream."

He can still distinguish between ideals and reality. Kaiya has seen many things in these years of life, and she is no longer the ignorant teenager she used to be.

Besides, this is Di Ruiji's ability. Although Di Ruiji has a kind heart, he has no reason to do such a big favor. Even if he kidnaps her with morality, he will only get Di Ruiji's disgust in the end.

"I think my life is pretty good now. I have lived comfortably in Mond City these years. Although fools always come to make troubles, since your appearance, these troubles are basically gone. Less time The time I spend with those people gives me more time to do the things I want to do."
