Overturned Tower

At first glance, those words were so cruel that they were almost irrational.

But when you think about it carefully, there seems to be no problem - not all of those demons, but most of them have killed some people. There are also a few demons who have caused considerable damage.

Even according to the "first consensus" that no one cares about now, they can already be punished with expulsion... that is, being expelled from the empty island to the ground full of radiation and curses.

Although no one knows how they will die in the end. But it must have been a process full of pain and lamentation.

Perhaps it is gradually melting during the struggle, or perhaps the body is gradually becoming weak and the flesh and blood are withering day by day.

Anyway, no one has ever returned to Sky Island from the ground, and no one has sent any news back. It can also be directly understood that they were excluded from the empty island - it was a kind of death without even tombstones and corpses.

The Paradise Bird subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the Delphinium's expression.

Delphinium tightened her lips, and her teeth made obvious marks on her lower lip. He was just a hair away from biting it and drawing blood.

But she still remained silent.

Personally, she doesn't want that. Although those demons are just remnants, at least most of them still have human skins.

——There are her teachers, her seniors, her colleagues, and her juniors.

Theoretically, the Special Enforcement Division cannot retire. There is no psychic lock on their chips, which means that they only need one violent emotional outburst to fall - and the work of the Special Enforcement Department requires them to have the highest possible psychic level.

Only in this way can they face off against demons who have guaranteed level 6 psychic powers and whose personal abilities are treacherous and changeable.

They have only two endings - either they lose control and become demons, or they die.

Before the onset of winter, the main reason for "departure" was usually death in action. It's not that they don't lose control easily, but that the occasions when they actively release themselves are usually when they are unable to fight against powerful demons. They have witnessed the chaos that the devil can bring, so they will not let themselves live until they are "out of control"... but will die with the devil.

Winter's reason for becoming a minister is the same as Delphinium's. It is because healing psychic powers are extremely rare and useful... This usually means that their personalities are gentle and responsible, which also makes it convenient for them to take the initiative to create psychic chips for others.

After Winter became Minister, the death rate in the Special Enforcement Department dropped sharply. Instead, the probability of loss of control began to gradually increase. But that's mainly because the special executive's survival time is longer, and there is more possibility of losing control.

But when Delphinium arrived, the chance of the Special Execution Department losing control suddenly increased several times——

Because the use of the Delphinium chip has become a "routine tactic" - at least two dozen psykers have been saved by her psychic powers from the edge of losing control.

But if this time continues to be pushed back, then the only survivors in the end are the Inferior and Russell.

——Almost all the others lost control and degenerated into demons.

Strength is not enough anyway. I tried "unconventional power" once and I couldn't stop anymore. That's why when the Inferior introduced Delphinium's psychic powers to Russell for the first time, her reaction was so intense.

Of course, this can also be explained from another angle - precisely because of the help of Delphinium, they will not die or fall when they encounter danger. They relied on Delphinium to extend their lives... and became complete demons and prisoners of Tianen Group, providing the company with a steady stream of psychic chips.

Like a two-legged sheep that provides wool.

Delphinium actually believed in her heart that even if she degenerated into a demon, it would still be better than death.

This is a selfish thought.

For most of the people involved, death and the fall were no different.

Their original personalities have been wiped out, they are considered dead in society, and their relatives will never see them again - in the news at that time, the fate of demons was always "annihilation".

There are only a handful of people who know that demons are actually imprisoned alive.

But, only for Delphinium, this is actually different.

Because she has authority, she can call up the surveillance of the reconstruction agency at any time and take a look at the faces of her former friends. You can also initiate remote calls or videos with them, listen to the other party's voice, and chat with friends. While working at her desk every day, she would occasionally chat with old friends from the past.

Even if she knew in her heart that these people were actually dead, she would still want to deceive herself.

Delphinium stubbornly believes that as long as she remembers their faces and names and treats them as still alive, they are not completely dead.

If the delphinium, which is always rational, has done something that is not rational. The secret, then, is the irrational—one might even call it willful—part of her.

Because of this, the rational countermeasure of "ordering the execution of the devil" became an unacceptable move for Delphinium.

If Delphinium does not accept that their degeneration into demons is a kind of death, then this move is equivalent to killing all her friends alive; but if Delphinium calmly accepts their death, then Delphinium's previous The behavior is like turning a friend into an electronic pet.

In any case, as long as those people break through the reconstruction mechanism, these demons will still be killed, and more people will die tragically on the spot in the process; but if you want to stop them firmly, you must "protect the company" "property", and kill the living residents for such stupid reasons.

This puts Delphinium into a moral paradox.

——She had choices from all sides, none of which she could fully accept.

No matter what she chooses, she has fallen into a place of injustice. And if she does nothing, things will only get worse.

She knew she was struggling with something meaningless. But she still couldn't make up her mind for the time being.

"... Let's leave it to Azhan to decide."

Delphinium sighed deeply and decided to give up thinking: "Let's see what he thinks first."

But at this moment, Wu Ming calmly reminded: "Minister Zhan doesn't dare to disobey your wishes. If you leave this matter to him to decide, he will only look at you hesitantly.

"——Do you want to be the one who kicks the ball? I think besides you, not many people care about the life and death of those demons. After all, they are essentially the property of the company...those who attack the reconstruction mechanism Rather than wanting to free the devil, people want to cause property damage to the company.”

"Ignorance..."

Although he was the one who brought up this topic, there was a slight hesitation on Horn's face.

He tried to pull on Wu Ming's cuffs.

But the pitch-black snake coiled up high and spit out merciless venom: "In the final analysis, the Fuji Society is an organization that gathers together based on someone's personal charm. If Ultramarine is lost, With the Godfather, how long can people remain united under the slogan 'Help each other'?

"Now there are many people who have rebelled with their connections. Although there are still some people who are still working sincerely for others in the Fuji Society, they are no longer the mainstream. Because no one can stand up again and lift that Put up a flag and get people to gather around."

"Hey, Wu Ming..."

Ignoring the movements of the horn, Wuming's dark eyes were filled with cold and rational colors: "Ms. Delphinium, I think you know what I mean. Before you and Miss Bingshui returned, Minister Zhan stood up - he He knows nothing, and is so incompetent that he is like an empty shell. But he is still willing to take risks for this.

"Under the current situation, I think he may be more suitable as a flag. Do you understand what I mean?"

"...No need to say anymore, I understand."

Delphinium suddenly interrupted Wu Ming's words: "You are right."

Wu Ming closed his mouth and looked at Delphinium calmly.

After the silence, Delphinium gently exhaled, as if spitting out something in her heart.

She spoke seriously and slowly: "My lover, the father of my child... he is sacrificing himself for the world. Although it is just an illusion, I can vaguely sense that he is still alive and well. Doing our best for the future.

"I still can't give up the past for the future. But I can give up myself for more important people."

Compared with Azhan, who is still very immature now but can become a banner for people in the future, the name "Delphinx" can still play some role now.

As Wuming said, Azhan is more suitable as a flag.

This is not to favor Azhan... because as a flag, people will watch and attack.

Ignorance is precisely protecting Delphinium - he hopes that Delphinium can recognize everything and realize that she is now a fragile pregnant woman and unable to stand up at such a dangerous juncture. She should completely hand over all power to Azhan, instead of standing in the executive department's studio and influencing his opinions like a queen mother.

This is good. Whether it's from a friend's perspective or a colleague's perspective.

However, Delphinium chose to refuse.

The bottom of her pupils ignited with azure fire——

“If people think something was wrong in the future, then it’s all my fault – the living person is the most important.

"Paradise Bird, inform Azhan. I will temporarily take over the Special Enforcement Department."

"Ah...yes!"

The bird of paradise replied.

There was a look of surprise on her face.

But Delphinium's command did not stop.

"Notify the Executive Department to lift the weapons ban. From now on, guard the Reconstruction Agency for two hours at all costs."

"Then notify Peter Pan and order in my name. All demons to be executed within two hours."

Execution of a demon would mean becoming an enemy of the board of directors; ordering the firing of civilians would be an even bigger stigma.

But because this decision is correct and rational, from the perspective of the decision-maker, someone must eventually make it.

Although she said it was "to see what Ah Zhan does," she actually knew that Ah Zhan would eventually make the same order as her. She was just subconsciously avoiding responsibility.

——Russell protected her very well.

She almost forgot...she was not just a girl, a hero's wife, or a mother.

She is also a high-ranking psyker who has access to the Leviathan Wall - the most powerful person in the Special Enforcement Department.

Now, Delphinium chooses to bear the price for the future Azhan.

She will use her words to kill the delphinium that is loved by people and imagined by people... kill the immature and willful old self, kill the quiet girl bound by morality.

Rather than protecting one's innocent "name" that is loved by people, what is more important is to effectively protect the "result" of the public.

That is true love.

At this moment, Delphinium suddenly understood.

The one who really should take the poison called "lethal love" and pay the price - from the beginning to the end, should be the one who chooses the "path of love" based on his own awareness.

——If you are not willing to pay the price, how can you truly love?

There was only a snapping sound, and the demon appeared behind her and covered the cracks.

Then, with the pure white brilliance blooming from the inside - it suddenly cracked!
