old dream

Chapter 247 Sad wish

Everything seems to make sense.

Why Lucca's redstone organization can always escape the roundup in advance.

Because Heine, as the inspector of the Seminary's press office, has been living in the most secret communication network between the Hunting Group and the Ninth Bureau.

But why did Heine repeatedly want to kill himself?
...Because it was Craigie's request, Colin thought.

The wizard didn't seem surprised that Colin would find out his identity, and he didn't give any explanation.He just casually looked at the formed ceremony in the distance, as if watching some strange and rare landscape, appearing relaxed and casual.

Why is it always you.

It was you who tampered with the test results that made it impossible for me to go on the path of witchcraft normally.

For ten years, I kept torturing and forcing myself, biting people like a drowning mouse in the dark underground.Every step is exhausted, and all the most precious things are used to make unsure gambles.

Colin lowered his head and let the crutch under his arm fall to the side.When he noticed the abnormality just now, he had already let the pheromone enter the blood through a thin needle.As the stimulant secreted by Vibrio carinii rises rapidly in the body, those wounds that are continuously burned seem to heal for a while, because the pain signal has been temporarily ignored by the brain.

— Without you, I would not have come to this point.

Colin always deliberately forgets the lives of Elena and Linus.

During that dinner, he caught a glimpse of another world, another possibility.

Abundant resources are readily available, and more importantly, it is justifiable, the kind of grace that can make moral judgments on the rats lingering underground at will.

Ke Lin always pretended not to know, that kind of possibility not only belonged to Ji Lian, but also belonged to him.

"It's really hard to believe."

The wizard looked back and said.From his face and voice, it seemed that a thin layer of mist had been lifted off.The agnosia gradually dissipated, revealing Heine's face, and Heine's voice:
"Even when I heard about this ritual from my teacher, I always thought it was just a layman's ignorant delusion."

"Until a week ago, I still didn't believe this kind of child's play could work."

"Whether it's designing a ritual with such a remote mirror image, or this exaggerated one thousand pounds of redstone that looks like a joke."

"But I didn't expect that you really did the impossible."

Heine smiled, as if moved by something:
"You work so hard, even I can't bear it."

But before he could finish his sentence, dense beeping sounded in the dilapidated factory building.

It was the vibration of countless sharp semi-spiritual steel wires in the air.

All difficulties have been overcome, and all costs have been paid.

Even though the right way was blocked, I still completed the ceremony.

All of Stade has now been conquered.

As a result, at this last moment, it was you who betrayed me again.

The boiling blasphemy with a morbid color resurfaced from Colin's body again.Even though the pain-sensing nerves had been paralyzed by the stimulus, there was still a burning sensation from the crystal map in the body.His eyes swept across the air, and then he stretched out his hand to his empty left side, and burned a set of steel wires moving towards Ji Lian.

Heine still seems to be walking leisurely, because he is only slowly and steadily compressing Colin's living space.Even Colin in perfect condition is far from his opponent, let alone now after being seriously injured.So, now he doesn't need to rush to take risks at all.

Ke Lin couldn't retreat, because behind him was Ji Lian's ritual position.

The cold wind whistled behind Heine, constantly pouring in from the open door.Something in the air was blown, so from time to time refracted the strange light released by the red stone.In the empty factory building, it seems that there are lines of infrared rays rotating and translating, like ball lights in a dance hall. They occasionally pass by dusty old machines, and then those large steel components fall heavily on the ground.

Taking advantage of the gap, Ke Lin quickly glanced at Ji Lian behind him.She was not frightened by Heine's arrival, but continued to arrange the materials with extraordinary meticulousness.

"At first I didn't think that you were also bugging the Hongxinyi." Heine said suddenly, his tone seemed to be chatting:

"Until now, I still wonder how you got the material."

After all, he can easily access the deciphered plaintext, but Colin cannot.Even if the material is miraculously stolen, codes that change periodically still need to be broken.

Somewhat unimaginable.

"I only know of the existence of this ritual because Craigie made up his mind. He wants to erase you after you complete the ritual."

"Because he believes that if you become a wizard, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Uncle really wants to get rid of himself, Colin thought.

So they are "unpredictable" and "mixed into human beings" in Craigie's mouth, and they are nothing else.

It was himself standing at the basement entrance.

"If you give up this ceremony, I can actually let you live." He continued, and laughed at himself:
"Of course, I know it's impossible."

"why?"

Colin stared at Heine who was slowly approaching and said:
"Craigie still needs this ceremony."

"Because you are too eager, too stupid, and your hands and feet are too unclean." Heine said:

"It is impossible for a ceremony of this scale to be hidden from other people's eyes."

The train tragedy in early October has already made many people suspect that there was another leak in the seminary.Even Heine was once listed as a suspect.

But if the modified Kayu witchcraft is only enough to arouse the interest of some people, then the ritual that appeared today must be enough to drive them crazy.

If they find Colin through this large-scale ceremony, Heine, who is also unclean, may also be exposed.

"But if I don't complete the cracking ceremony." Colin said:

"Craigie's wish cannot be fulfilled."

Without recovering the memory, there is no way to find Lenz's whereabouts.

"Well...you don't think now that the teacher just wants to know if Lentz is still alive?"

There was a cold smile in Heine's eyes, as if mocking Colin at this time, still thinking about Craigie with that kind of innocent kindness:
"No, of course not," he said:
"The teacher just wanted to make sure Lenz was dead."

Otherwise, Craigie Dallozzo would not be able to leave this world with peace of mind.

Colin slowly opened his eyes wide.

It sounds like the same thing, but the implication is quite the opposite.

Just to confirm the news of his younger brother's death, he did not hesitate to pay such a huge price.

Heine was silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"So it seems that he is really crazy."

But I have been obeying this lunatic all the time, wasting the most precious half of my life just for his sad wish.
