old dream

Chapter 378 The Saint and the Wicked

All the doors and windows were open, and the cold moonlight poured into the room unobstructed. The dry floor reflected a faint halo, exuding a subtle fragrance.

I don't know when that person entered the ancestral house, but he must not have been hindered in any way, because he was completely defenseless.The light was not turned on, but Colin could see the outline of the other party, a woman, but her hair had been cut short to only a centimeter or two, just like the monks in those monasteries in the suburbs.

Elena.Even though they only met once, and the appearance of the other party is completely different from that of the delicate student in the past, Colin can still recognize it at a glance, because he has been looking for this person these days, but now she is the one who came to him first.

Boyd Elvis curled up on the sofa by the window, the soft sheer curtains blowing over her nightdress.The puppet didn't feel any threat, so it just yawned lazily, looking at this side with its inorganic eyes half dreaming and half awake.

Colin looked at the revolver at Elena's waist and perceived the dangerous large-scale ceremony involved. He did not choose to turn on the light and continued to keep the house in darkness:
"How did you find this place?" Colin asked casually, as if simply saying hello.He didn't try to mobilize his intentions, let alone grab the sword in the umbrella in the corner.

"I found more things than you imagined." Elena said, her voice was hoarse, and no hatred could be heard.

"Really." Colin said, but he didn't care much, even though Elena's threat was so sharp.

Although Elena knew the real name of the "Lieutenant" and her relationship with Ji Lian, it was still very difficult to find out the location of this ancestral house based on those two clues.So she probably has some clues that even she doesn't know, what could it be?Colin thought curiously.

"Your 79 bank accounts and bills, the three mountain roads that transport bootleg alcohol into the hinterland of the alliance, and two newly dug underground tunnels, as well as the list of 49 core members of the organization. This is part of what I have checked in half a year, If you want to hear, I can tell you more." Elena said slowly:

"As long as I want to, I can destroy you and your organization at any time."

Colin looked at her quietly for a while, and said:
"I've been looking for you for the past few days back in Stade."

"Why, can't wait to get rid of my threat?" Elena asked with a sneer.

"No." Colin shook his head and said:
"I just wanted to ask you, was Linus buried? If so, where was he buried?"

"What?" Elena continued to sneer:

"Being stabbed to the neck by someone, you started to learn to confess hypocritically?"

After hearing Elena's words, Colin seemed confused for a moment. He thought for a while before saying:
"Is it up to the neck? No, your things wouldn't threaten me in the first place, and. You wouldn't do that, would you?"

Because of Linus.

You don't destroy the Stade Institute.

"As for your wishing me to repent, that is impossible," said he:
"I didn't think I did anything wrong. Because I never held hostility towards Linus, and I didn't want him to die." Colin recalled carefully for a while and said:
"Strictly speaking, I don't even know him at all."

There was only a brief encounter between them.

What's more, when they met, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Colin wasn't the type to be romantic enough to die for someone he met for the first time.In other words, this is the choice a normal person would have.

Elena looked at Colin helplessly, but the shoulders that had been raised due to nervousness slowly collapsed.

She wobbled and took two steps back, feeling extremely lost, as if all the anger and hatred she had spent in the past six months had all disappeared into nothingness.

Yes, she would not use that evidence.

It was not even intended to kill Colin, because that would inevitably set off another bloodbath in Stade.

She understood all the truths that Colin said, but she just wanted to pretend not to know for the time being.

Linus once wanted to avenge his sister who died at the hands of Silent City, so he became the Prohibition Commissioner and came to Stade to try to collect evidence against Archduke Edmund.

But in the end he gave up revenge and chose to fulfill Ke Lin's career, even if the price was to die for it.

Elena used to not understand Linus' choice at all, but in the past six months, the more she checked, the more she understood why the teacher sacrificed for him.

Because the current situation in Stade is exactly what the teacher wants to see.

So now, this fateful choice was once again placed in front of her.

Is it revenge or fulfillment?
She was destined to choose the same answer as Linus.

Because the saint is the teacher's sister, and she is the teacher's disciple.

All the old things are repeated, played back and forth.This fact brought tears to her eyes and sweet pain.

It was as if the teacher was still alive by his side.

But how could this be so?
If it was to kill Colin, she would not be here tonight.

Since I appeared here, I wanted to use my life to appeal for the teacher.

A saint is too merciful to do anything but sacrifice himself.The villain can use thunderous methods to cleanse and even recreate the world, but he is still a villain after all.

That's right, in Elena's eyes, Colin is a complete villain.

She has investigated the Stade organization more carefully than anyone else, so Elena read from the nested rules of this organization, from the endless suspicion and defense within them, and the chilling gap between members. To Colin's selfishness and timidity.

And behind this timidity lies an ambition that he is unwilling to admit and dare not show to others. How can such a narrow-minded mediocre person deserve to be compared with a perfect person like the teacher?Not to mention, paying for the teacher's life!

Elena raised the revolver she brought out from the religious order, and there were still three bullets left in it that could trigger a large-scale ceremony. Such bullets were not enough to end Colin's life, but she prepared it with a death-seeking attitude. Pull the trigger on Colin.

"I advise you to give up."

Colin seemed to see through her intentions, and said flatly:
"You can't kill me, and now I have the ability to protect you from death under any circumstances."

He couldn't even die at the hands of his enemies.

Could it be that even the last dignity cannot be preserved?Elena closed her eyes slightly, thinking in pain.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I really came to you just to ask one thing, where is Linus buried?" Colin said:

"If you are free, can you take me there?"
