Reason evaporated, logic disappeared, and every second of will was on the verge of collapse. Eddard finally fully understood why Lux was able to unswervingly execute the Human Completion Plan. He didn't believe that anyone with telepathy could exercise restraint in this situation - at least he couldn't.
As much as he loved Minerva before, he hated Nanali now. As much as he was willing to pay for Minerva, he wanted to take away from Nanali. "Love" and "hate" have always existed on both sides of the same body. This is the gift Lilith gave him, and it is also the shackle that Lilith brought him.
"Nanalie..."
He let his anger drive his body, picked up the knife that fell on the ground, and walked step by step to the owner of the name he was muttering. The woman who was called stood motionless as if obsessed, with a brilliant smile on her face. Why? Why is she smiling so happily
"… Nanali!"
A blade with a cold light shone out from behind her, and red blood droplets hit the ground tickingly.
"Mr. Lingos, you..." Nanali shook her head gently, resisting the severe pain in her chest and slowly moved her body forward until she was close to Eddie and she could hear breathing, "Have you finished venting? ? Can I say the last lines?"
"What are you trying to say?" Ed asked nonchalantly.
"I want to say..." Nanali showed the mischievous smile when she succeeded in the prank, "It's too easy for NT to deceive NT, Mr. Lingos, congratulations on being deceived."
It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and the anger that was still burning in one second was completely cooled down in the next.
"The amount of explosives is designed, and the blood bag that was prepared in advance exploded on the chest. Maybe you will be injured a little bit, but it will not be fatal if there is no accident. If you love that child so much, if she dies How sad you must be." Nanali supported Ed's arm and tried to keep her balance, "You have a really bad memory, didn't you just say it, why would I be willing to hurt you?"
After calming down, Ed began to carefully examine his spiritual realm. Although Minerva's consciousness was indeed slightly weakened, it really existed here, and there was no feeling of disappearing like a candle in the wind.
"Because of NewType's innate impulse, you accidentally killed a girl who admired you. With an endless life, you will feel guilty forever, until the end of time." Nanali smiled and coughed out a mouthful of blood. , raised the upper right side with difficulty and stroked his cheek, "Mr. Lingos, this is my revenge."
"What a joke..." Ed gritted his teeth. "Will I not be sad if you die? What kind of revenge is this?"
"After hiding from me for seven years, I thought you wouldn't be sad at all. It seems a bit of a miscalculation. Cough, but since it's all over, please accept the facts." Nanali's pupils began to dilute. "Although the physical pain is nothing compared to when you were born, I probably won't be able to hold on for too long. Can you chat with me about happy topics in the last minute?"
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ed's mind, and something he had almost forgotten for seven years came up from the depths of his memory: "Where is the S2 mechanism of the womb angel?"
Nanali's body froze suddenly.
"On you?" After the IQ went online, Ed quickly speculated the truth of the matter. "In order to prevent the explosives set on Minerva from getting out of control and accident, do you carry S2 with you just in case?"
"I'm not, I'm not..." Feeling the touch from all over her body, Nanali's eyes widened in horror, "Stop, it's not on me, really, stop..."
Nanali, who had lost too much blood, was so weak that she had no strength to resist. Ed ignored all her nonsense, and while taking care not to touch her wound, he focused on groping her body.
"I warn you, if I don't die, I will continue to trouble you. I will hurt Minerva, CC, Lux, Angie, Alice, Taoxiang, and everyone..." Nana Li's forehead pressed against Ed's chest, and her right hand slapped his shoulder weakly, "So please, stop it!"
"The mentally fragile NT can't last until the end of time with such a heavy sense of guilt, at least I don't think I can." Ed finally found what he wanted from the pocket of her underwear, a The blood-red crystal was handed to her mouth, "Be obedient, open your mouth."
Nanali gritted her teeth and shook her head desperately, ignoring that the wound on her chest was getting worse under her struggle. In desperation, Ed could only force her mouth open violently, stuff the crystal into her mouth, and try to force her to swallow the S2 mechanism.
"Mmm, umm... um... um~ um!"
After several exchanges of offense and defense, Nanali finally lost her strength completely. The blood-colored crystals slid into her esophagus and then disintegrated, penetrated into her internal organs, and lurked in the cells. The physiological structure began to change silently.
"It hurts a bit, please bear with it." Ed took a deep breath, pressed his left hand on her shoulder, and suddenly pulled out the knife with his right hand. Plasma spurted out of the torn wound, splashing onto Ed's face and body, and the wound began to heal on its own at an incredible speed.
"What is this?" Nanali cried out hysterically, as if completely unaware of the pain signal in her nerves, "Irresponsibly made my life like this, and now it's my only escape. Deprivation?! What is this!"
"How would I know, think for yourself, if I really can't come up with an answer..." Ed turned back to Minerva resolutely, picked up the unconscious girl and walked to the door, "...Then let's not meet again. "
Nanali stood there in despair, staring blankly at the back of his departure, thinking of saying something to stop him, but for some reason she couldn't utter a word.
…
Minerva, who had just woken up, was lying on a hospital bed in the infirmary in the spaceship that headed for the moon from the wheel of angels.
"I didn't know that things would turn out like this. Sister Nanali didn't agree with me in the first place." The girl pulled up the quilt with both hands to cover half of her face, "I'm sorry."
"It's too easy for NT to lie to NT, it's a wise saying..." Ed, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was in a complicated mood, and the girl's slightly messy bangs could not be explained at all. Fortunately, as he was, he could directly There is no need to explain to anyone, "What about the last sensational confession?"
Minerva blushed: "At that time, my head was dizzy and I didn't know what happened, but I thought that Sister Nanali would never hurt me, so I just improvised."
"As expected from Lux's teaching..." Ed touched his forehead speechlessly, and he would also take considerable responsibility when things developed, accusing her of others would be useless, "I will not communicate with you and Nanali in the future. Intervene, but my entanglement with her is over. No matter how crazy she wants to go, it is absolutely not allowed to involve me and my family."
"Yeah." Minerva carefully pulled the quilt down to his neck, peeping at him with twinkling eyes, "Then... what about after we go home?"
"The last few days of summer vacation, take a good rest and prepare for the start of school next week." Ed lifted the quilt up again, covering the girl's accidentally exposed shoulders, "You will be the third year of high school when you start school, and focus on the college entrance examination. , the daughter of the Lingos family will never be allowed to go to college with extra points."
Minerva's eyes quickly dimmed, becoming as lifeless as a dead thing. Ed's heart ached when he looked at her lonely look, and he hesitated whether to do something.
In the past, pretending to be foolish, self-deceiving, and arguing have always been his three magic weapons, but now... Ed struggled for a long time, and finally leaned down and touched the girl's lips lightly.
Minerva's face instantly turned red into a boiled lobster, and after being at a loss for about a second, she chose to cover her entire head with a quilt.
"Let Li give you a full body check after you go back." Ed tried to change the subject in embarrassment, "She is an expert in this field, let her show you if there are any sequelae. After all, the injury is near the heart, really The only way to inflict permanent, irreversible wounds is on nanoworms."
"Don't!" Minerva quickly showed her head and immediately shrank back, "At least not now, I'm still developing, and even if I can't become like Sister An Qi, there is still hope."
Minerva turned seventeen this year, and her body was actually quite well developed, but Ed felt that the frame of reference she chose was a little unrealistic. He briefly recalled An Qi's development at the age of seventeen, and decided not to comment on the issue.
The atmosphere that followed became a little awkward, and the two who suddenly changed their identities didn't know what to say for a while. Fortunately, someone came to ease their embarrassment right away, and this person Minerva and Ed were still very familiar with.
"Char? Where did he come from?" Ed only felt inexplicable, "Isn't he here to snatch his daughter? Tsk, I would have asked Amuro to escort him."
"Ed... Uncle." Minerva reached out from under the quilt and pinched his ring finger. "He might be a bad guy."
"Fortunately, Amuro didn't worry about me, and just let me bring the unicorn with me." Ed took the girl's hand, kissed her forehead intimately, and changed it in her pitiful eyes. Repeated the above actions at a position, "I'll go back when I go."
Ed's current perception range is far greater than the radar of ordinary ships, and it was not until he took the unicorn to take place in a hurry that the large mobile weapons scattered with Minovsky particles arrived belatedly. appear in the horizon.
The MA that entered the field of vision looked like a huge flower from a distance, with twenty-five tentacles flying and dancing under each of the five petals. The body of amazing size is naturally equipped with a high-intensity I force field, and cannons of various shapes also provide it with considerable long-range attack means. And in the transparent cockpit at the top of the flower, it was Xi Ya who was wearing a full-covering metal mask, with countless transmission lines connected to the mask.
"Cosmic Demon Flower?" Ed couldn't believe his eyes, the plot was completely messed up. However, it was always bad for outsiders on the boat to hear the conversation between him and Xia Ya, so he casually dragged the other party into the chat room, "Xia Ya?"
"Sure enough, I can find you by following Nanali, Lingos, it's worth it for me to lie in ambush on this route for so long." Xia Ya was used to being pulled in and kicked out of the chat room at will, full of confidence. The attitude has not been affected in any way. "The old model ten years ago has no chance of winning. Don't make unnecessary struggles."
"Although I'm not at all surprised that you would do such a thing, can I ask why?" Ed asked curiously, without feeling nervous at all, "Because I stole your daughter?"
"Are you still pretending to be stupid now? It's too ugly, Lingos." Xia smiled contemptuously, "I already know, the real wheel of angels."
"Oh, you know." Ed replied indifferently, "Then do you know that what I made is not a 'real' angel wheel?"
Xi Ya was at a loss for words, and the atmosphere also froze.
It is too easy for NT to cheat NT, because NTs deeply believe that they will not be cheated no matter what. Ed secretly made up his mind to review this sentence as a motto every day from today onwards.
"Even if there is no runaway this time, there is no guarantee that the same will be the case next time, and as long as you take one wrong step, all human beings will fall into the abyss of doom together." Xia Ya is indeed Xia Ya, and soon found the correct position again. , "NewType like you is too dangerous, I have to kill you."
"I actually thought about the problem you mentioned." Ed explained patiently, "I have been looking for someone to check and balance myself."
"It doesn't make sense." Xia Ya said solemnly, "Except for me being able to escape from the black hole called Lingos, everyone else will only get deeper and deeper without knowing it. Nanali has been through these years. The gradual madness of her is the best proof, and so will Minerva sooner or later as long as he doesn't leave you."
Ed was silent for a rare moment.
"Lingus, I have no personal grudge against you, and I even admire you very much. But this is something only I can do, and it is also a decision I must make for mankind." Xia Ya sighed, "If one day I will If you become an enemy, you must kill them as soon as possible.”
"To be honest, I was almost persuaded by you." Ed let out a heavy sigh, "I put myself in my shoes and thought about it. If I were in your position, I would probably make a similar choice."
"In this case-"
"I also want to retire early and go home to be with my wife! Who wants to endure all kinds of resentment and dissatisfaction, and work overtime every day until what time in the morning?" Ed interrupted him sharply, "But I have already promised Lilith, except to bite the bullet. What can I do to keep going?"
"Stop making excuses, this is the end of the pointless debate." La Fresia's muzzles were pointed at the unicorn, "Sitting in the research room for so many years, let me see how much fighting instinct you have left. Bar."
Ed gently stroked the interior of the unicorn, his eyes filled with nostalgia. As his thoughts moved slightly, the sharp corners on the top of the body were divided into two, and the blood-red light was transmitted from the telepathic skeleton exposed under the armor.
"Your... Should be called La Fresia? If I guess right, it is probably similar to the unicorn's destruction mode, and it is controlled by pure telepathy." The unicorn stopped quietly in place, Three floating shields circled in front of it, "And your NT ability is not enough, so you need to use that metal mask to ensure signal strength."
"It is precisely because humans recognize their own shortcomings that they learned to create tools, and then step by step to become what they are today." Xia said disappointedly, "Lingus, the excessively powerful NT ability has interfered with your judgment. You become blind and arrogant."
"Uh, you're thinking too much, I don't mean to say this. I just want to remind you that the Rafresia body itself and the floating gun are the same operating principle." Ed finally couldn't help laughing, "You still Remember what NT-D was used for?"
Xia Ya didn't hesitate for a microsecond, turning around and running.
The La Fresia is worthy of being the latest model of the year, and despite its size, it still runs fast, far exceeding the speed of an older model like the Unicorn. Considering that Minerva was still on the boat, Ishaya's cunning and cunning would likely kidnap his daughter from the mountains, but Ed did not dare to pursue him at full speed.
However, even so, the control of the tentacles has been mercilessly seized by NT-D one by one. The dense tentacles rolled up and rolled up, all pointing to the cockpit at the top of the fuselage, and the beam gun at the tip of the tentacles was ready to go. Just as Xiaya was about to leave Ed's sensing range, one hundred and twenty-five tentacle beam guns fired at the same time, and a flame exploded in the dark universe.
