Chapter 216 The Only Dignity
Although he has eavesdropped on the low-level information of the Jackdaw Hunting Group several times, this is the first time that Colin has actually come into contact with members of the Hunting Group.

It was also the first time he saw Yemin again after leaving Nale.

The first thing that flashed through Colin's mind was the anatomical sketches in Dallozzo's research materials.He felt chills in his heart and couldn't help taking a step back.

The other party turned his back to the window, but he could still see the color in her eyes, which was as rich as the most silent night.

That is indeed the appearance of the same family in the previous life, but why is it here?Colin's consciousness was a little turbulent for a while, and more memory fragments began to emerge.In my impression, there are always Yemin by my side.

"……first meet."

The other party also stared at Colin for a long time before speaking, in jerky and out-of-tune Anhe.She half sat on the window sill, bent her wrists and introduced herself:

"Nancy, as you can see the night people, members of the hunting group."

Unlike a secret police detective like Goldie, Nancy is fully armed and does not shy away from the sight of civilians.Her taut torso and legs were filled with unknown reagents, several types of bullets, and knives.And all of this is surrounded by a leather cloak, the surface of which has been treated, making it easy to clean even if it is stained with blood.

Ke Lin didn't intend to declare his family name, but wondered why the other party had to declare his name.

"Are you the parents of this child?" Nancy said lightly and half-jokingly:

"Father Cincily, and an Ankh woman."

Consistent with the records she saw.Although Nancy knew that Lisa's real parents were dead.

Ke Lin didn't make redundant explanations, but asked directly:
"What are you going to do to that kid?"

"The kid?" Nancy asked back, looking sideways at the small bed in the attic.

"Oh, her name is Lisa, and I'm sending her away," Nancy said, "to a place where it's safer for others and for her."

"You are very lucky, because you are from the ninth game." Nancy continued: If it is just an ordinary person, then the memory must have been erased by now. "

"But even if you are the nobles of the ninth game, luckily you came back after she fell asleep. It was only a few minutes away, otherwise, I'm afraid you would not be able to escape the memory processing."

While Nancy was talking, a car drove by on the street downstairs.The faint light flickered from the window, concealing the expression on Nancy's face, and allowing Colin to briefly see everything in the attic.

A pale little girl sat quietly on the bed.With a drooping forehead, it seemed illusory as if it came from another world.And on the walls around her, someone seemed to have splashed a thin layer of... Oil film?
To this day, they still faintly reflect iridescent spots.

Those iridescent spots were still fading, maybe it was her deep sleep, or the silence of something inside her.

Then when she was awake a few minutes ago, what would it be like in this small attic?
Goldie under the ladder has been silent, I don't know what she is thinking.

That's when Nancy jumped down from the window sill, her fingers dipped into the cloak and wiped the outside of her right leg, removing the brass syringe that had been prepared.

She went straight to the girl.After the needle is installed, the thumb is pressed slightly on the plunger, and a few drops of the medicine escape from the steel needle.

Colin was about to move, but Goldie stopped him and said:

"Stay away from her."

This sentence is not said to Nancy, but to Colin.Goldie, who remained under the ladder, immediately added:
"The work of the hunting group is very...'respected'. Even people from the Ninth Bureau generally don't interfere with their affairs."

They are even required to cooperate with the hunting group in specific events, such as having their staff undergo memory processing.

Perhaps Goldie had heard of similar cases, or had received such requests directly from his superiors.

Nancy pinched the child's arm and inserted the needle into the vein like a straw into a sorbet, causing Colin to frown again.But there seemed to be rainbow light flowing from that small hole in the needle eye.Waiting to calm down and look again, but there is nothing.

Nancy slowly pushed the potions into the child's body and explained:

"Nothing, just some tranquilizers to keep her quiet."

"There are two kinds of people who are most dangerous in this world. One is children with immature frequencies, and the other is people who have fallen into madness. Therefore, the treatment methods for the two are also similar."

This matter is extremely unusual, and Colin also knows that he is not qualified to interfere with it.Because I have no interest in it, nor do I know any facts about it.

But he also vaguely sensed that he touched a deeper mystery tonight.Although he didn't expect Xinmi to appear in such an ordinary appearance, it was almost by the side of every ordinary person.

But the more so, the more chilling it is.

No matter how much the ninth game respects the hunting group, Colin is not as scruples as Goldie.And he knows that there are many things in this world, no matter how righteous they are on the surface, they are actually evil deeds cloaked in lies.

Colin thought to himself:
Out of intuition and instinct, I can't allow anyone to inject a child with medicine, or even take someone away without knowing why, and then remain indifferent.

Even though they didn't know each other before, they just knew her name was Lisa just now.

"Tell me, where will she be sent?"

Colin repeated the question clearly again, and this time, he would not allow the other party to ambiguously repeat it.

Nancy put away the syringe and turned her gaze back to Colin.She kept her back to the window, except for the pair of richly colored eyes, she couldn't see other expressions on her face.

"Don't always challenge the unknown. Excessive sense of justice and curiosity will not bring you anything."

After a moment Nancy said:

"It's just trivial advice."

Colin.

"Maybe we'll still cross paths for a while," she said:
"If you have to do this, you can of course ask to the end and get an answer. But that answer may not be accurate, it will only make you stagnate, and even become the object of our cleanup."

Nancy said in a low voice:
"If that's the only way, which side would you choose?"

Should we settle for ignorance, or face unknown dangers?

It's like being content with the status quo where the memory is sealed, or to welcome another life that cannot be judged?

This is also the problem that Colin has been facing.Whether to ask, whether to regain memory, like two big bets without prizes, but.

"I can accept that I am weak, depraved, and have tragic failures. But the only thing I cannot accept is that I am content with ignorance." Colin said.

This is also his usual practice.

Only by making a decision of your own will can you prove that you are still alive.

Even if there may be death ahead, we must face it soberly.Instead of ignorantly leaving everything to fate.

Because the only dignity of man is that he is still thinking.

Nancy chuckled as if sighing:
"I understand."
