But why did he leave, and why did he change
-
On the other side of the city, Al returned home and touched the top of his child's head, then he sent him to his mother Amanda's home.
They haven't divorced yet, but after he was promoted to Sequence Six and lost his sense of family affection, his wife Amanda chose to separate.
He did not stop it, even though according to the law he had not done anything illegal and he had the right to reject all his wife's illegal behavior.
But he didn't, because he felt like he was the one who was wrong by simply abandoning his family ties.
Or is Amanda actually a poor person
He couldn't explain the factors involved.
He just acquiesced to all of Amanda's actions and suggestions.
Also, he felt that it would be a better choice for the child to grow up with his mother rather than with him.
He knew that his child was very afraid of him. After all, how could a five-year-old child understand that someone who didn't love him at all could be his father
Al, who still had most of his emotions, felt very painful about this.
Because he made a child sad and scared, and it was his own responsibility.
But he really couldn't give his children any love that should come from a father.
All he has for him is that I am his father and it is my responsibility to take care of him.
Because today was his day off, after handing the child to his wife who was looking at him with red eyes, he returned to his home.
After opening the door, he walked to the fireplace as before.
Here is a photo of their family.
There was him, his parents, his aunt and uncle, and a picture of him, Amanda, and their new baby.
Just as he would come to this fireplace, he picked up the photo of him, his wife and children.
Looking at this photo, he tried hard to smile, because that's what a normal father would do, right
Moreover, when they just took this photo, he, who was not yet a member of the Sequence Six Wolf School, also laughed from the bottom of his heart when he saw this photo.
But now, he won't laugh anymore. No matter how hard he tries to pretend, he can't muster a smile from the bottom of his heart.
Through the reflection of the frame he saw a perfect yet extremely ugly smiling face.
I know how to smile, but why can't I smile in front of my family
No, I know the reason, because I love my family too much, so all of this will become a burden and be abandoned by me.
So it's still my fault, isn't it
But as a father and a husband, why can't I love my family the most
Maybe my sequence is too low
Maybe I should keep going
With this thought in mind, Knight Al put down the photo of him, his wife and children.
Then, just like before, I started to do housework, cook, wash, and finally rest.
But it wasn't long since I closed my eyes.
Knight El opened his eyes alertly.
Then he got out of bed quietly and took out a spare revolver and a mithril dagger from under the pillow.
After getting the weapon, he jumped out of the window like a monkey.
And he didn't make any noise during this process.
This is his seal ability—silence!
After carefully observing the dark room, he added three abilities to the mithril dagger: exorcism, darkness exorcism, and poison avoidance.
After doing all this, he carefully took out the spare key and walked into the room through the side door.
At the same time, he also held a small communication rune in his mouth. As long as he was sure that it was not his illusion, he would immediately bite the rune to pieces and notify his companions to come for support.
But the moment he stepped into the house, the room, which had just been pitch black, suddenly became bright!
This sudden change caused Al to jump to the corner of the wall and take a defensive posture, while immediately biting the rune.
But he didn't bite anything!
The rune that was in your mouth just now is gone
Before Al could take further action, he heard a familiar voice:
"Knight Al, do you think everything that is happening now is wrong!?"
"What?"
When Al raised his gun and looked over, he was shocked to find that the uninvited guest sitting in the house was actually his immediate superior, the demon hunter who received Mozo? !
"Master Mike? What are you talking about here?"
The Demon Hunter did not respond. He just repeated:
"Knight Al, do you think everything that is happening now is wrong?"
"I don't understand what you mean."
Because he was a colleague and his superior, Knight El did not take action immediately, but he did not lay down his weapon either.
At this time, the Demon Hunter said something to Al that made his pupils shrink:
“Do you feel like abandoning your emotions is the wrong path to take?”
383 We Are Not Monsters (3k)
Do I feel like throwing away emotions is the wrong path
It only took a moment for this sentence to enter Knight El's mind, and he felt an infinite sense of absurdity.
What could be wrong with this? Emotions are a hindrance to firm justice. Only by abandoning emotions can they ensure that they stick to the path of justice.
Otherwise, no one can guarantee that they will always use reason to overcome all weaknesses.
Knight El, still holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, immediately said to the Demon Hunter:
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but this can't be wrong! This has been proven countless times over the years!"
Master Mike, who was sitting opposite him, just nodded slightly, then leaned forward slightly and stared at Knight El with his deep and unfamiliar eyes and said:
"Do you really think so?"
This sentence made Knight Al even more confused and wary:
"Are you really Master Mike?"
The other party paid no attention to Knight Al's voice. He just continued to speak loudly:
"I know you've been confused about whether you made the right choice because you can no longer love your family."
These words made Knight El fall into silence, and he bowed slightly in the silence.
The demon hunter master knew that this was one of the wolf school's opening moves in combat.
The other party was so suspicious that he was ready to take direct action.
But the Demon Hunter pretended not to hear and continued:
"I also know that although your parents have always said that they support your choice and have never blamed or been dissatisfied with you, do you know that they have been secretly looking at your photos and wiping tears in private?"
These words caused El Knight's fighting posture to change slightly.
Because he sadly discovered that he really couldn't feel sad from a son's perspective. He was shaken only because as a bystander, he felt that his son was unqualified.
He knew that he had failed in front of his parents, but this was not because of his thoughts as a son, but because of his cognition as a knight.
As a fellow El Knight, the Demon Hunter Master who was also a superior one, immediately continued to speak in a bewitching manner:
"We all think this is a necessary sacrifice, but is it really reasonable? Our goal is to create an ideal country where everyone can live in peace."
"But aren't our family and friends part of it?"
After a moment of silence, Knight El continued:
"This is wrong, but there is no other way to sacrifice. The church and the government will provide the greatest assistance to such families. At the same time, they will also be respected by all residents! Because someone has to sacrifice, we cannot change this, we can only make compensation in other places as much as possible."
The more he talked about El Knight's fighting posture, the more stable it became.
The Demon Hunter raised his head and said:
“This is a very correct and textbook answer.”
"But Knight Al, have you ever thought that giving up emotions cannot bring us true justice?"
This sentence did not move Knight El's persistence at all, it just made Knight El feel extremely ridiculous.
"Absurdity! Emotions are a flaw in human nature. Their existence only hinders the execution of justice and fairness!"
"This has been proven countless times over the years!"
Yes, this is the truth that the Parish of Justice has demonstrated countless times with countless facts over countless years.
It cannot be shaken, which is why countless people choose the path of justice, a path that is too harsh for ordinary people.
The demon hunter on the other side said to Knight El with a cold smile:
"Since emotions are a flaw in human nature, why do the laws and justice we uphold affirm the value of emotions? Then why do we have to protect these mortals who are full of flaws? As long as they are the same as us, there is no need for anyone to protect or enforce them."
These words were what truly shook Knight El's heart.
For the first time, Knight El put down his weapon, stood up in a daze and looked at the demon hunter opposite him.
But a moment later, Knight El came to his senses and fired five shots at the Demon Hunter Master, then rushed over with the Mithril Dagger in hand, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the opponent's heart!
"This is a cult! You are definitely not Master Mike, who are you?!"
The bullets he shot made no sound, but it didn't matter, he would be able to pierce the opponent's heart immediately!
But just when Knight Al was about to stab the false master in the chest.
He woke up.
He woke up screaming from his bed.
After waking up, Knight El looked at everything around him with suspicion and fear.
Is it a dream?!
But why is it such a dream
Could it be that someone invaded my dream
Is there a nightmare nearby
In a state of confusion and doubt, Knight El cast three seals of judgment, exorcism, and concentration on himself.
But every layer of Dharma seal showed that all this was just a dream.
After receiving such an answer, Knight Al lay back on his bed without closing his eyes.
Why do I have such a dream
If it wasn't the work of nightmare, then it was my own idea
No, I don't, I have never accepted any of the cult doctrines.
Could this be caused by some other force
I wondered, could it be that the one who could invade other people's dreams was a Sequence 4 Demon Hunter? Or a higher-ranked Silver Knight
No, this is even more impossible. This is our own path. We can't do this to our own people.
There is no infighting or faction in the Church of Justice.
The Church of Justice is transparent.
Even if it was a sudden audit against him, it would have been announced in advance.
So this must just be a normal phenomenon caused by his confusion at the moment.
