Chapter 972 974 Can't SurviveIn the dim corridor, two people walked one after the other. The sound of their footsteps swaying back and forth in the empty hallway sounded like they were hitting some kind of music.
The little girl walking in the back was wearing an old pale-yellow expensive patriarch skirt with some stains on it.
She has been receiving this kind of education since she was a child, and her father requires her to maintain her demeanor no matter what dilemma she faces.
In this environment, she naturally insisted on the belief that the blood flowing in her body was different.
It can be said that she is a beautiful and proud girl. If it wasn't for her father's treason, she might still be in high-level receptions, surrounded by boys, perfect as a white horn Beast in general.
She followed behind a man in a military uniform, and while stepping forward, she asked nervously: "My father really decided to sacrifice himself and die for me?"
"I think... maybe so, as you think, he is a great father." He opened an iron door, ignoring the guards standing at attention and saluting on both sides, the male officer replied gently.
"He is indeed a good father... Every birthday, no matter how busy he is, he will come back to accompany me..." The girl seemed to recall something and said to the male officer.
She was ready to face reality for a second when the male officer opened the door to her room.
She thought that the other party was here to enjoy her body. For a woman who was guilty of guilt, being able to fall into the hands of an officer must be better than falling directly into a group of big bosses. Some decent in hand.
She even fantasized about how to please the decent-looking officer in front of her and let him keep her by her side.
At least, this man is good-looking and not too old - even if he is a concubine for the other party, the result is not too bad.
But who would have thought that the other party did not come to trouble her, but only to take her to see the father who had affected the whole family...
"He is really busy...you Have you read his file?" The officer asked the woman behind him sarcastically without turning his head.
In his opinion, being loyal to Your Majesty means dedicating his entire life to the excellent soldiers of this empire. A woman implicated in treason is not qualified to defile his body.
Therefore, even if he felt some of the woman's careful thoughts, he did not have any crooked thoughts at all - his other half should be an upright, gentle and virtuous person who is also willing to dedicate to his motherland. The perfect woman for a lifetime.
"What file?" Hearing the officer's question, the little girl walking behind was obviously taken aback.
The officer did not hide it, but replied with a sneer: "In order to annex the land, he killed 31 peasants; colluded with the local City Guard, and after becoming a citizen of the Alanhill Empire, he also bribed the local police, Bribery the consul..."
"He never told me that..." The girl heard what the other party meant, and also knew what her crime meant in this country.
If it were placed in other empires, those in the past, even if it was treason, even if it was sold to a place, with her beauty, 80% can barely survive.
If you are willing to give up your fame, betray and redeem your husband, and seduce the local nobility, 80% of them will be able to live comfortably.
But in the Alanhill Empire, in this country where almost all the people love their emperor and their motherland infinitely, a woman who commits treason may be less dignified than a prostitute.
This is the harsh reality, this is the ethos of the entire empire. Even if it is sold cheaply, most farmers with a bit of ability will not consider marrying her as a wife.
Those more despicable refugees or poor households may not be willing to look for a stupid woman like her who will not even work.
She doesn't fit the countryman's aesthetic at all. Can't carry on shoulders, can't lift hands, can't sew, and can't give birth... That beautiful face that needs countless money to maintain and care for, in front of those dirty hard workers, can be fresh for two days at most.
Thinking about it, if she really was reduced to living with those pariahs, she might as well serve the pleasures of those who came from—at least, those who heard that they were still willing to tip...
The officer walking in front didn't know that in just one second, the thoughts of the woman behind him had flown so far away like a spaceship in the universe.
He just thinks that this kind of silly woman who lives in her own world and doesn't know anything is really ridiculous.
So he said calmly: "Yes, I know, but every piece of clothing on your body is stained with the blood of those peasants."
woman There was also resentment, and she burst out while walking: "This is the reason why you arrested me and my mother, and then sent us to Demon Realm?" One who was not flies around her at the reception, swaying in front of her eyes, showing her his own merits, trying to make her smile?
Now what? Just such an officer who she didn't even know her official rank dared to give her face - she really wanted to stop him and ask: Are you blind? Isn't this great aunt beautiful? What is your attitude?
"Almost." The male officer continued to play his role as a straight man of steel, without giving any face.
According to his thinking, a simple summary is: I am a single person, what can you do to me?
This is typical: I like you, what do you say; I don't like you, what do you say you are? These two people are simply not on the same channel, so it's not a problem-solving idea at all...
"Then, why did you change your mind now, just because my father agreed to your strange conditions? "The girl finally brought the topic back to what the male officer was interested in.
As a result, the conversation and communication entered the rhythm that the male officers hoped. He nodded and replied bluntly: "Yes, it's almost as you thought, originally your father was going to die, but he was willing to try a life-or-death challenge... So, he paid more, and you will be reborn ."
"Are you going to take me to see him now?" For some reason, there was a little bit of anxiety in the girl's heart, but she was full of hope.
"You are a smart girl... The most worthwhile thing your father has done in your life is to protect you with everything he has." This time the male officer felt that the woman behind him It's still smart, a little bit stronger than he thought.
"Someone told you, are you actually cruel?" The girl who was very depressed along the way finally found an entry point at this time and began to retort.
"Yes, you won't be the last person to say that." The officer lowered his eyes and replied seriously.
He knew what he was doing, and he knew that it might be infringing on the gods in this world... it was a blasphemy and a greed that coveted the power of the gods.
This time it was the girl's turn to not understand, and she asked in confusion, "Since you all know everything, why do you still do such a cruel thing?"
The officer raised his head. When he opened his eyes, this time in his eyes was filled with a firm look: "For mankind...for the future of mankind, for the progress of mankind, in short, it is a great reason you can't think of."
"You are not afraid. Go to hell?" The girl sneered, feeling that the other party was looking for a reason for her to cover up her crime.
The man did not return the woman behind him, but continued to walk forward: "If we succeed, even if our soul falls into hell, we will be happy... This is our belief. , this is what we are chasing with our lives!"
The girl finally couldn't bear it anymore, and muttered bitterly: "I hope you will not succeed."
Officer Hearing this sentence, he did not continue to defend anything, and pushed open the last iron door in front of him: "Our success and failure... can not be decided by your prayers."
When After the iron door was pushed open, the girl saw a man in a wheelchair whose entire head was a puppet of a huge magic spar.
The puppet had no eyes or nose, but through the thick glass, she still felt that the terrifying humanoid monster was looking at her.
It gave her the feeling that a wild beast that had been hungry for a long time was staring at a weak prey.
She took a slight step back, and at the top of the room, from the hanging speakers, came a strange, hoarse voice with a strange tone: "Daughter...my child. ...I finally...see you again!"
"You, who are you..." The girl stepped back to the door, heard the call, stopped subconsciously, and covered her head. Staring at the terrifying puppet full of wires in the glass window.
"I'm... your father..." The puppet seemed to want to stretch out his arm, but he failed in doing so.
Then, from the speakers at the top of the room, other sounds came. It was the voice of other technicians, and the tone was full of tension and despair.
"Sync rate is going down! It's too fast!"
"Energy surge...damn! Find a way!"
"Pain It may have exceeded the threshold...Damn it! He's about to die!"
Amid a series of noisy voices, the god puppet who raised his palms but could not extend his arms, a head The whole crystal began to crack and shatter, and some small fragments were falling continuously.
He seemed to be smiling at the girl on the side of the glass window, and then murmured in his hoarse, mechanically unnatural voice: "It's nice to see you again..."
