Salvation equals death

In 1543 in the first century, following the disaster of "large-scale genetic fission", an unknown disaster with high magic power broke out in the coastal area of ​​New Zealand again. The experimental product Vl-803 fled, which was suspected to be the result of the genetic research base.

In May of the same year, Jiang Ming, the captain of the "Light Moth" team, "Shanshui Sword" Ji Ling, and the Dawn Warrior "King Wu" Feng Zaiezi, "Armed Soldier" Nishi Rees and "Frost Blade" Ji Wu.

At the same time, the S-class armored fighter "Reaper" Yuli Shisha of another team "Black Lion" was ordered by his twin elder sister Romi Shisha to carry the holy key "St. Elmo's Fire" to the waters of New Zealand to capture Test product Vl-803.

"Auntie—Auntie—"

The girl in Huaguo's bunt costume kicked the stones beside her feet boredly, elongated her tone, and said lazily.

"What's the origin of that test item Vl-803? Why did you even send out your old man and Young Master Jiang? Gene fission didn't have such a big momentum before, did it?"

"Xiaocao." Ji Ling, who looked only twenty-eight years old, smiled softly and pinched her little niece's cheek, "If I hear you say forbidden words again, I'll go back and ask your parents to change your name. Ji Ji."

Ji Wu, who was desperately probing on the verge of death, was pinched almost to tears. She didn't doubt whether her aunt would really change her name to "Jiji", after all, her original name was "Jiqing", which means "Go to Wucunqing", offended the eldest aunt who is the head of the Ji family because she didn't speak clearly when she was a child, and Ji Ling changed the name of weeds forcibly by saying "it sounds like love".

I will cry if I continue.

"The fact that the intelligence isn't quite right is where it gets tricky."

Ignoring the Ji family duo who were making jokes, Jiang Ming just explained to his team members with a cold face.

"We only know that Vl-803 is completely out of control, but we can't find out the specific reason for the loss of control. We only know that she escaped from the New Zealand laboratory five days ago and fell into the South Pacific while being chased by the mechanical armor."

"Totally out of control...?"

Feng Zaiezi has a calm and calm personality. She was born in Japan and she is an excellent swordsman, but she joined the Moth Squad because of life. Her originally happy family has long been wiped out by the threat of a genetic disease.

"Speaking of which, I'm still very concerned. Human experiments are used in the New Zealand laboratory... No, it's not unexpected. After all, this laboratory was run by that lord."

"Gene diseases will only infect humans and will not affect other living beings." Sirius, who is good at all kinds of guns and weapons, said in a cold tone, "The special medicine for genetic diseases made by Dr. Zevern is extracted from the test subjects, right? "

"Sen?!" Ji Wu, whose cheek was being pinched, immediately leaned over, his slightly wide-open eyes couldn't hide the astonishment, "This kind of inhumanity...I, I mean! That girl is only ten years old. A year-old child, right?! This is too much!"

"Ji Wu, don't show such an expression." Jiang Ming was in a heavy heart, no better than them, "Vera is voluntary, in fact, the goal of our mission is to 'capture' rather than 'kill '."

Jiang Ming knew that there was no need to cover up the information, so she told her team members Vera's story.

In her description, the young but precocious Vera is a well-behaved and sensible child, but under such an immature shell hides a powerful soul capable of facing the cruel nature of this world.

That girl has an awareness and a spirit of sacrifice that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. She regards the redemption of the world as her unshirkable responsibility—perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Zefern concluded that she has the qualities of a sage.

"Captain." Sirius, who was like a robot, said after listening to Jiang Ming's description, "You are also an accomplice in this matter."

"Sirius!" Feng Zaozhi, who respected Jiang Ming very much, interrupted Sirius' accountability, and pursed his lips in embarrassment, "The captain must have a reason for doing this!"

Feng Zaozhi couldn't bear to deal with this matter, after all, it was too cruel for a ten-year-old child to bear these burdens.

"Zhizi, you are the one, don't be blinded by emotions, this matter is not that simple."

The expressionless girl walked around relying on the exoskeleton armor, speaking without any ups and downs like a machine.

"Implanting the Philosopher's Stone will paralyze Vera's legs, but Sirius can't stand up, but can also gain the ability to move with the help of the exoskeleton armor. If the captain doesn't want to continue the experiment, she can completely At the beginning, she gave the girl a hand. But she didn't, I understand, this is because the captain made the best choice in the overall situation and personal choice. But from Vera's point of view, the captain is also the perpetrator .”

——The perpetrator is not qualified to speak of sympathy.

This is the subtext that Sirius didn't say.

Sirius' words were too calm and too cruel, but the truth in what he said made Ji Ling who was standing aside helpless but also wanted to laugh. She looked at Jiang Ming who was tacitly acquiescing to the matter, and sighed softly.

"The development of an organization naturally has light and darkness." Ji Ling touched Sirius' head casually, and said softly, "If you want to protect more people, you must sacrifice yourself. Sirius, what you use The weapons capable of targeting those with genetic disease are all developed with the blood and sacrificial structures of countless people. The somatosensory time delay system on your armor comes from the brain research experiment on the dead body of a soldier with bullet timing talent.”

"Sirius, if you want to progress faster, you will have to pay something. Just like using animal experiments to treat cancer diseases, in this era where life is so desperate, what is the difference between us humans and animals?"

"You who stand on the battlefield should understand that besides such glorious and glorious sacrifices as yours, there are more people buried in the lonely, cold darkness."

Facing the kind but immature juniors in front of her, Ji Ling uncovered the tip of the iceberg in this cruel world.

"Like light and darkness, don't forget the shadow behind you when you look up at the light, and don't forget the light behind you when you see darkness."

"That's the nature of the world, see it, know it, accept it...and finally love it."

"Those warriors who fearlessly guard this world all have such a sense of sacrifice, including Vera who is a test subject." Ji Ling smiled and touched the Shanshui sword on her waist.

"You guys have the determination to protect and are kind enough, but your awareness of facing the world is far from enough."

Ji Wu, who felt that she was underestimated, was a little unconvinced and wanted to say something, but Jiang Ming suddenly said, "The reason why Vera lost control is because she feels resentment towards the world that forced her to sacrifice."

Ji Wu was taken aback for a moment, and even Sirius couldn't help but glance over.

"But that child..." Jiang Ming's face was pale, but the emotions in his chest were agitated. There was a kind of pride showing off treasures, but also a kind of unspeakable suffocation, but more, it was a kind of softness born of pity, " The moment the child lost control of her strength, she didn't think about revenge, but chose to escape. She has the ability to destroy the entire town, but facing the executioner who killed her the most in the entire base, she didn't even have a blade of grass hurt."

"Yes, I am the perpetrator. I was standing in front of her at that time. She could dig out my heart at any time."

"But she didn't."

"Can you understand?"

As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, the fledgling girls felt that someone had hit their chest hard, and they were speechless.

Tragedy and sacrifice are inherently tainted with an extremely moving and poignant color, but once this desolate beauty has a little more perseverance, it will breed endless longing and longing in the depths of people's hearts.

As Jiang Ming and Ji Ling said, the child who has never met is very good, excellent, well-behaved and sensible.

Fearing, fearing, hating, but still bravely going to death, what could be more heart-wrenching than this?

—There is nothing more tragic than the sacrifice of the cowardly.

Ji Wu only felt that the corners of his eyes were slightly wet, because of this awareness, and also because of this cruel but beautiful world.

"I don't care! I don't want to hear about forbearance and helplessness, awareness and inevitability! I believe that everyone is entitled to happiness, and I will take her back! Me, Zhizi and Sirius, we will treat her well, and we will become Very good friend!"

She declared it loudly, like an oath.

——Such a warm, simple, innocent but ridiculous oath.

But no matter how hard you try, you can't sail to the other side of reality.
