Chapter 194 Finally Reunited
Ansiriel's hands were shaking as she held the letter, as if she couldn't even hold this thin piece of paper steadily.
The tears kept flowing down her face, and she had no idea why Su Ming did this.
Was he lying to her from the beginning? She was planning to take him away with her, so why did he abandon her?
Why did he leave such a letter and why did he say such cruel words?
She loves him, but why does he say she doesn't love him? Can love also disappear?
"Hmm? Why is your real body here too?"
The voice coming from behind made Ansiriel stop crying instantly, and an indescribable feeling of fear enveloped Ansiriel's whole body.
Her body couldn't move, but her mind was already aware of what she would face next.
A hand passed from behind Ansiriel, gently pinched the letter in Ansiriel's hand, and then took the letter away.
He read the contents of the letter aloud.
"Is it the guy named Su Ming? You are in love, but it seems like he is manipulating your emotions." Jin Yumin said calmly.
Ansiriel's body was completely frozen, she couldn't move, she only knew that she was going to die, she would be executed.
"You've been fooled, Ansiriel." Jin Yumin behind him gently placed the letter on the table, then lifted the bed sheet, and sure enough, there was another piece of paper under the sheet.
"Is this the address of the village he wanted to teach? So you came up with this plan after discussing it with him." Jin Yumin said, "It seems that he has left the royal city, but since you are still reading this letter, you must have just left not long ago."
"I'm really curious about how he got out. I think he should be heading towards the nearest village here now." Jin Yumin said with a smile.
…
Su Ming left the town on horseback, and of course he took Arthur and Liu Feiyun with him before leaving.
The escape was very smooth along the way. Relying on Xia Xiaoyu's special abilities, when escaping from the palace, Xia Xiaoyu killed people to clear the way, and Su Ming followed behind.
The people in the dream who were killed didn't realize anything was wrong at all. They took their own death for granted and slowly resurrected.
Although some people would definitely realize that such a large-scale resurrection was abnormal, they would have run far away by then.
"Oh my God! He actually ran out! Why are all those people in the dream dead? Was it you who did it?" Arthur could not hide the surprise on his face. He did not see the scene of Xia Xiaoyu killing people, so he was naturally shocked when he saw the corpses.
"I guess so." Su Ming said lightly.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you can even kill people in dreams. Maybe you can kill the Plague Messenger, too." Arthur said with emotion .
Su Ming didn't tell the other party that he had already killed the plague messenger once.
Seeing that Su Ming didn't say anything, Arthur continued, "You said Minister Sylvie is here too. Is she in the village we are going to now?"
"We've contacted her before, so we should be able to meet each other, but there's no guarantee that she's in that village. But no matter what, we'll definitely meet soon, that's for sure ," said Su Ming.
Arthur nodded, shut up, and walked on his way without saying anything more.
Xia Xiaoyu, who was riding on the same horse with Su Ming, suddenly asked, "Why did you leave a letter for that woman?"
She felt that Su Ming should not be honest with the woman. There were obviously more thorough ways to take advantage of her, such as pretending that he did not want to implicate her, secretly leaving, and using feelings as a bargaining chip to beg her to attack the village he hoped to teach.
Xia Xiaoyu felt that using such gentle words would make it easier for the other party to act according to their plan, and Su Ming's current confession would easily arouse the other party's rebellious psychology and eventually make them give up the idea of attacking the village.
Or, you can use tougher means to bring the other party out together.
Su Ming pondered for a moment and replied, "I feel that the woman is not a bad person. The reason why she became the person in my dream is only because there is only one way to go in this world. If we hadn't come here, she might have been a hero.
I think... among all the bad options, choosing the one that looks the least bad is also a kind of ability."
Su Ming paused, and added: "And it's totally unnecessary to take advantage of it too thoroughly. I've been thinking a lot recently and have gained some insights."
"Tell me what you are thinking about," said Xia Xiaoyu.
"Regarding propositions such as justice and morality, I wonder what we should do when faced with some cruel choices so as to make the best choice."
Xia Xiaoyu turned her head slightly, glanced at Su Ming, and sighed.
She knew what Su Ming was thinking. He must still be thinking about killing the fire-type mutant. After all, Su Ming was the kind of person who could show mercy even to a brainwashed child. If he could, he would definitely want to save everyone.
Xia Xiaoyu felt that Su Ming was sometimes too soft-hearted. For example, this time, he should have made more use of the woman named Ansiriel.
He could easily bring the woman out with him, abduct her to their village, and then continue to use that special ability to control her. The information she knew alone was of great value.
But there was no need to think about these things now. After all, the decision had been made. He placed Ansiriel in the royal city.
"Have you figured out the answer?" Xia Xiaoyu asked.
"No." Su Ming said in a deep voice.
He really didn't figure out the answer. He won at the Black Gate. He didn't kill those children, nor did he lose his companions because of this decision. In the end, he saved most people. He thought that was a good result.
But if this happens again next time and he makes the same decision that causes the death of his companions, he will definitely regret it.
He still feels bad about killing Anthony. That incident made him realize that he was a naive person. People like him could not accomplish great things, and any dilemma would delay his progress.
Su Ming felt that he was definitely a different person before he lost his memory and now he was definitely not the strongest commissioner of the Lighthouse.
Wanting to do the right thing and saving everyone is the principle he has always wanted to stick to, but there are always times when he has to choose between saving one person or a group of people, like the time with Anthony.
At that time, it makes people very sad.
Anthony sacrificed himself to protect more people, and he really had no choice at the time.
"Don't think too much. Besides... there are infected people chasing us." Xia Xiaoyu said.
"I know. Wait until he gets closer and I'll take care of it." Su Ming looked back and saw a figure running fast in the woods next to him.
He had already noticed the existence of this infected person, and this infected person was a little different from the other infected people. He ran very fast.
“Lulala la la~~”
The infected person rushed out of the woods, running on all fours on the ground like a dog. He was very thin, without a trace of excess fat. Unlike the infected people he had encountered before, his skin was not fragile and easily damaged. His skin looked very tough.
This infected person seemed to be very good at sports and had a strong physique. Apart from the fact that he looked as ugly as the previous infected people, they had almost nothing in common.
Arthur also saw the infected person behind him. He created many ice spikes in the air with one hand and stabbed them at the infected person, but they were all dodged by the other party. It moved quickly and flexibly.
"This guy is very agile!" Arthur exclaimed.
Su Ming took the pistol from Xia Xiaoyu's thigh and fired several shots at the infected person. Several bullets hit the opponent's legs, causing him to somersault and unable to catch up.
"He should be infected, right?" Xia Xiaoyu asked.
Su Ming nodded: "I think so."
The special infected person just now made Su Ming realize that the infected people were different from the people in his dreams. They were not cast from the same mold, but had various functionalities. For example, the previous infected person's body was prone to explosion, he was bloated and moved slowly, while this infected person moved quickly.
So, following this line of thought, will Plague Bringers also be diverse? Will Corruptors also have many forms?
Compared with the unified strength of the Dream People, the Plague Cult seems to be more like the Zerg, emphasizing the development of diversity.
They arrived at their destination when the sun was about to set. Xia Xiaoyu held the reins tightly and stopped the horse at the entrance of the village.
Su Ming jumped off the horse and felt the pain on his butt.
Su Ming took a look at the village in front of him. It was similar to the village they had seen before. There was a deep ditch in front of the gate, and the edges of the village were full of infected bodies.
They were greeted by a guide who looked just like Sarah.
"Hello, strangers."
"We just came from the town in our dreams, the town where everyone speaks Chinese." Su Ming said.
The guide suddenly realized what was going on, and then he became nervous and alert again. Su Ming immediately added, "We are not believers of the Dream Cult."
"Oh! May the God of Hope bless you !" The guide clasped his hands together, placed them in front of his forehead, and closed his eyes to pray.
"I want to ask, is there a red-haired woman looking for us, and a black-haired, um... expressionless man following her. If I'm not mistaken... he should be carrying a knife." Su Ming gestured to the guide, imitating Jiang Yichuang's expression to him.
Arthur on the side looked at Su Ming with confusion, as if he was looking at a street performer.
"Can he make the other party understand what he is saying?" Arthur asked Liu Feiyun.
Liu Feiyun nodded and affirmed Su Ming's performance: "The imitation is quite similar. You have not been in Dongyang Island for a long time, so it is normal that you don't know Jiang Yichuan. Jiang Yichuan's appearance is easy to imitate. He is almost the same as Su Ming now, but lacks the charm."
The guide stared at Su Ming for a while . He was a little dazed at first, but soon he remembered and nodded repeatedly: "I know! They are here, follow me."
