Facing Harvey's question, Ash sat in the sunshine outside the shade of the tree and looked at the necromancer with strange eyes. "You are not the kind of person who speaks ill of others behind their backs. If you have any opinions, you will say them to their faces. If you think it is not strong enough, you will let Alice come out and say it together." Ash said, "It seems that Igula has not offended you recently?" "I have no opinion on Igula." Harvey said, "I'm just curious about your thoughts." "Why?" "Ash, you are a good person." The necromancer said, "No matter whether you were a cult leader before, you have not been a bad person in my eyes since I met you. Valcas, Igula, Liz, Annan... You are not a good person, but you have never done evil. You are so clean that you don't look like a Blood Moon person at all." "I think Igula wants to ask this question, but he doesn't dare to ask. What do you think of us two death row prisoners who have done so many evil things?" "I just came up to bask in the sun. I didn't expect to answer such an important question..." Ash rubbed his temple, "In your words, since I met you-" Harvey interrupted him: "In Gospel, we were restrained by Annan and had no choice. After coming to Senluo... You should not have forgotten why the food factory town drove us out? Silver Lantern's framing was only one of the reasons. The main reason was that we were too presumptuous there. "But you also considered the impact." "That's why we couldn't catch Silver Lantern." Harvey said, "Doesn't the fraudster know that gas stations can be a killer? With the ability of a psychic, why did he lead Silver Lantern to sparsely populated areas instead of turning the crowd into his weapon? " "Even if we can't catch Silver Lantern, we will definitely find a way to remove the blood species." Ash said seriously, "I promise." "The point is not this, the point is our nature." Harvey touched Alice's head and said, "Do you think I am only satisfied with Alice? Now there is no Annan to restrain me, and Senluo doesn't even have a unified regime. I have inexhaustible materials... If I weren't with you, in order to support my research, I would probably join a sect that does not affect my research and become their thug to bring the undead disaster to this land." "The same goes for a trickster. This world where order and chaos coexist is simply a wonderful paradise. Here he can give full play to his wisdom, tricks, and means and play with everyone in the palm of his hand... If he was the only one who came here, he would probably be a small leader of the Four Pillars Cult now." Ash: "But you didn't do that." "Yeah, we didn't do that. Why?" Alice took Harvey's cigarette butt and swallowed it. "I'm a little different from the Trickster." Harvey took out a chocolate bar and ate it. "I'm like a dead leaf that falls into a river, floating downstream, no matter whether the end is the sea or the quagmire; but he is a fish swimming upstream, and may even become a flying bird... He will take his own life into his hands and will never go with the flow." "But we are the same in one thing. We have never treated others as human beings. A talking corpse, a prop that can be used... nothing more." "If one day we do something you can't accept, how will you treat us?" Ash said, "This assumption is too boring. It's like asking a relative what to do if a child's parents don't want you anymore." "Have you forgotten that we are Blood Moon people..." "Oh, but you know what I mean." "Take the example of the Food Factory Town." Harvey said, "If Igula drags the entire town into the battle in order to capture the Silver Lantern, and if I choose to transform into a dragon lich spreading the plague instead of a Hades Knight in order to stop the Silver Lantern... what will you do?" Ash looked at him calmly without speaking. Harvey ate most of the chocolate bar, and Alice swallowed the rest in one gulp. "When you hesitated, you had already made a choice in your heart." He said, "We are no longer companions in prison escape, nor are we indentured slaves, nor are we comrades you can trust unconditionally." "No, I'm not hesitating, I'm just surprised that you almost killed Silver Lantern when you were so restrained." Ash clenched his fists and said, "Next time I meet Silver Lantern, I will take him down!" "Huh?" Harvey blinked. "I know what you mean." Ash said, "If you hadn't taken me into consideration, you would definitely act much more brutally than you are now. I have never doubted the evil in your hearts. How could people who were raised in the environment of the Blood Moon not have a cynical and violent temper?" "So, I'm honored to be your concern." The cult leader chuckled, "It feels like becoming your guardian." "Trust should of course be entrusted to those who deserve it. Since you handed the chain to me, how could I refuse to be your shackles? Even if, as you said, you are going to do something I can't accept..." "I can also suppress you immediately." Ash's eyes sparkled, "Don't underestimate me, Necromancer." Harvey was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "Then I'll wait and see." He reached out to touch Alice, and just when Ash was thinking about whether to turn around, he took out a harmonica. "Where did you get the harmonica?" "The products of the Beyond Temple." Harvey said, "Their hot-selling products are these luxury goods with a technical threshold. Unfortunately, they are chromatic harmonicas. I used to play polyphonic harmonicas." "Oh... wait, you used to play harmonicas?" Ash frowned, "We are so familiar with each other, I won't praise you even if you brag about yourself like this." Harvey pressed the transpose button with his thumb, and the melodious sound of the harmonica sounded. It sounded a little familiar, perhaps it was a song played in Broken Lake Prison. Under the shade of the tree, a dark-skinned curly-haired young man played the harmonica, and next to him was something that looked like a beautiful girl. But when he thought that this was a necromancer and his corpse, Ash felt even more angry—compared to ordinary necromancers, necromancers who could play harmonicas were obviously more terrifying and perverted. But Harvey played it well, and Ash lay on the lawn leisurely, enjoying the rare leisure. After several songs, the sound of the harmonica stopped, and Ash yawned and sat up, only to find that many believers of the Beyond appeared around him. They were about ten years old and wore the same blue and white uniforms, but with fewer outer clothes, only the ears and the back of the neck. They looked at Harvey curiously, urging him with their eyes to "encore" and "encore". "Why are there so many children?" Ash asked. "This is the basic education floor." Harvey said, "All children under the age of twelve must receive education in the classrooms on this floor. This is actually their playground." So you ran to the elementary school playground to smoke... "So what should we do now? One more song or leave?" "One more song and then leave." When Harvey blew the whistle, Ash suddenly realized that he had heard this song before. It was the theme song he listened to when he and Freya were watching the drama together. Because of the magical rhythm, it was very impressive. He sat there and beat the rhythm, and gradually the beats became a string. The children watching were quickly assimilated by Ash, and a music class began in the stadium. At the end of the song, Harvey was about to stand up and leave, but suddenly a little girl ran over, hugged him and kissed him. Alice had been tense and ready to fight, but she relaxed at this time. Harvey looked at the little girl strangely. The little girl's face turned red. After a long pause, she stammered out two words: "Nice... sounds!" After that, she quickly returned to the friend group and exchanged glances with everyone. There was no word in the air. They communicated through the intelligent computing center, and there was no need for such an inefficient information exchange channel as speaking. She was stunned for so long just now, probably because she didn't react. Although the intelligent center will weaken self-awareness, it will strengthen impulsive reactions. In short, the believers of transcendence are a group of people whose bodies move faster than their consciousness. Before they have a specific idea, their bodies have completed their goals. Looking at these children who scattered in a hurry, Ash suddenly fell into deep thought. "Let's go, what are you thinking about?" Harvey asked while putting Alice back into the coffin. "I was just thinking, while I feel sorry for them gradually losing their self-awareness in the future, are they also feeling sorry for me for not having the chance to evolve into a more intelligent being in this lifetime?" "They definitely are." Harvey said with certainty, "Just like I feel sorry for you for not learning the Necromancer faction and insisting on eating shit." "Yeah, you have your hobbies, they have their ideals to follow, and even I have my light of life." Ash said, "If reality is really an illusion..." "But I am also the protagonist who cannot be denied by others." PS: Glory in the morning! But taking a nap at noon is already challenging my limit...
