Chapter 180 Reason

"Miss Alicia, you...?" Aponya looked at Alicia who was close at hand, and wanted to withdraw her hands with some uneasiness, but Alicia held it firmly and was completely unable to do so. Can't move.

"Apolonia, you can just call me Alicia, or if you want to be more intimate, you can call me Aili?" The aura of Alicia actually made Aponia take a small step back.

"Alicia, aren't you afraid of me? I've obviously committed such a serious crime..." Aponya shifted her gaze, as if she didn't dare to look at Alicia.

"Huh? But in my eyes, you are just an ordinary beautiful girl~?" Alicia took a step forward and got close to Aponya again.

"My vision is very accurate ~ I can see that your nature is so kind. Even if you really commit a particularly serious crime, it is definitely not out of your heart."

"But if I hadn't adopted those children infected with Honkai Disease, everything tonight wouldn't have happened." Aponya said softly.

"But if you don't adopt them, the Honkai disease in them will not disappear. Maybe Honkai disease will break out in other places without knowing it. This situation is already considered very lucky." Ellie Sia still knew a little bit about the so-called crimes committed by Aponia, but she didn't think that Aponia needed to blame herself so much.

"But... the reality is that I killed them. Those children, they once believed that I could cure their illnesses, but not only did I fail to respond to their expectations, but I may have even made myself self-defeating."

There were still a few children who were not infected with the disease, and Aponia separated them from the patients and protected them well. But how could the spread of the disease be stopped so easily?

As expected, those children were all infected with Honkai Disease and have now become dead souls.

Now that I think about it, these are all due to my own ignorance.

Qianjie is right, she is too stupid and too arrogant to want to save everyone at once? Reality told her that the consequences of greed were very painful.

"Aponia, I can't persuade you to let go of this tragedy, but I hope you know that the disaster was not caused by you, but that it happened to you, so don't trap yourself in the past and look to the past. In the future, not only the names of those children, there will definitely be more names for you to remember." Alicia's tone slowed down and her eyes became gentle.

"So don't show this expression anymore. With such a beautiful face, you should smile more~?"

……

At the same time, Sakura walked out of the interrogation room in a hurry, as if she wanted to escape from here as much as possible, or maybe to escape from a certain reality.

The ones he killed...were Li's family members?

This unexpected news caused Sakura's mind to become confused.

Qianjie did say Li's name in the car at that time, but Sakura did not identify it as Li just because of the name. Now that Alicia said it directly, she realized that fate was such a coincidence.

She didn't regret her actions. It was her duty to kill the infected, but... she was just afraid. She was afraid that Li would blame her, scold her, or even... break up with her completely after knowing this.

If that's the case, if that's the case... Sakura clenched the hilt of the knife in her hand, her eyes dimmed, and she didn't even know there was a figure in front of her.

bump---!

"Ah, I'm sorry...?" Sakura looked up and found that the person standing in front of her was the person she had been thinking about just now.

"Sakura..." Li opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she was a step too late.

When Sakura saw Li's face, she quickly backed away, even knocking over a trash can without realizing it.

"I..." Sakura lowered her head, not daring to look at Li. The next moment she turned around and ran crazily in the opposite direction. She was so fast that she disappeared around the corner in just an instant. at.

"..." Li looked at Sakura's disappearing figure and did not pursue her.

Sure enough, I knew it would be like this.

Li turned her gaze towards the direction of the interrogation room, but only looked at it for a moment before looking back.

He had already heard the details of this incident from Velvet, and she used her own methods to tell Li all the details.

The demise of the orphanage, the deaths of the children, Sakura's assassination, and the imprisonment of Aponya and Qianjie. Every time he learned a piece of news, the emotions in his mind seemed to be about to explode, constantly impacting his reason. And the originally hidden murderous intention towards human beings also caused an unprecedented riot at that moment.

His body was shaking uncontrollably, and even his eyes were unconsciously transformed into the form of the Herrscher, and his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

Both Velvet and Mebius looked solemn when they saw his almost uncontrollable state, ready to call for support at any time.

However, he eventually calmed down.

Just with the help of the Herrscher personality.

Just before Li was about to act irrationally, his left hand moved on its own and slapped Li on the face. It was this slap that woke him up from his madness.

[Calm down, don’t be completely controlled by your emotions. 】

"..."

[Aren’t you always emphasizing that you are human? Use your own humanity and reason, just like you have been doing before, you should know how to make the most correct choice, right? 】

"..."

[It’s really strange. Obviously I have the personality of the Herrscher. Logically speaking, this situation should be the other way around. 】

"……Thanks."

【You are welcome? Back to normal? That’s good. I was almost scared to death by your terrifying murderous aura when I woke up. Of course, this is a joke (laughs). 】

Then the voice of Herrscher's personality disappeared, and Li reluctantly smiled at the vigilant Mebius and Velvet, making them lower their guard a little, thus avoiding the situation where the Fire Chaser Moth imposed martial law on him.

Time returned to the present, and Li's eyes turned to a direction. He knew from Weiwei that the place where Qianjie was imprisoned was there.

……

"Mr. Li, please stop. The higher-ups have ordered that no one is allowed to enter here."

Arriving at a prison, Li was stopped by a soldier on duty.

"Oh? Not even me?" Li looked at him with a half-smile.

"...I'm sorry, this is an order." The soldier was stunned by Li's eyes, as if he was being targeted by some dangerous person, and he couldn't help but want to raise the muzzle of his gun and pull the trigger on him.

"Ah... forget it." Contrary to the soldier's expectation, Li said it so readily.

"Thank you for your cooperation..." Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

He violently opened the lock on the prison door, pushed open the door, and jumped over the soldier's body, completely ignoring the camera in the corner that was staring at him.
