Chapter 70 Shouldn't Exist
There was silence between Li Ke and Ali.
If the facts are really as Ahri said, not only is Ahri not wrong, but she also allowed the man to die peacefully at the last moment of his life.
But if it is fake, then it is different.
Not only did Ahri take the life of someone who could be considered his benefactor, he even shamelessly stole his memory.
So for Li Ke, the other party is someone who must be killed.
Before actually meeting Ahri here, Li Ke only knew this person through games. So, what kind of person is she in reality?
Li Ke didn't know.
The ability of 'simulation' is believable but unreliable. There are too many variables in the world. So far, he has deviated from the path of simulation more than once.
The background story of League of Legends is like this. What he sees is the story, but what he really faces are flesh and blood people.
But fortunately, Ionia does not need too much trouble to find the answer, and the blooming spring flowers can solve many difficult problems.
Soul Blossoming Festival.
This is a method of communicating with the dead through the power of blooming soul flowers. It allows people to talk to their deceased family members, telling them that their family members have not forgotten them, that the dead are still remembered, and to express their longing for them.
But Li Ke’s attitude towards this festival…
Sneer.
The dead are dead, no matter whether they can talk to each other or not, the dead should not continue to disturb the lives of the living. Because even if they can get temporary warmth, it is just a temporary solution.
Unless you can cut off life and death and resurrect the dead.
Otherwise, doing so would only keep the dead person alive and force him or her to be unable to leave in peace.
So Li Ke never performed the Soul Blossoming Festival, he just watched others talk to the dead, or have arguments and quarrels with them.
Because even though he already knew that the woodcutter might be dead, Li Ke still hoped that he was alive.
So when he saw the bell on Ahri, his emotions got a little out of control.
But unfortunately, although the Soul Blossoming Festival takes place every year, this year it is still some time away from the New Year, so we can't count on it.
Flowers like the Blooming Spirit Flower, which only bloom at specific times, are even more difficult to deal with. If you miss it, there is almost no way to make it bloom.
"You have no evidence, but I think someone will."
Taking a deep breath, Li Ke looked at Ali.
He would not give Ahri a break just because of his good impression and the relationship in the simulation, but he would not rashly kill the other person just because of his guess.
That is not the right way.
"The Forget-Me-Not Garden."
He mentioned the name of the place, the last place the woodcutter wanted to go.
"Do you have the guts to come with me?"
Ali stammered a few times, she looked at Li Ke, her heart seemed to be torn apart by pain. She knew this would happen, Li Ke would not believe her, in fact, when Li Ke found the bell on her body, she began to regret it.
She should have hidden the bell before approaching Li Ke.
but……
Isn't this cheating?
Ahri didn't know what she was thinking, but by the time she realized what she had said and done, she had already nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll take you there...it's not far from here."
Li Ke nodded and cut off the tail and one ear of the big cat with the sword in his hand. He originally planned to skin the big cat and use it as a carpet.
The long hair looks pleasing at first glance, but now it can only be used to show some proof.
Ali didn't say anything, she just watched the scene silently. She even wondered if she was killed, would her tail also be cut off by Li Ke.
"I am a monster after all."
Neither of them mentioned the bell on Ali anymore. Ali felt that the bell was as hot as a branding iron, and she also knew why Li Ke didn't ask her to return the bell.
If she is really the murderer, then it would be more appropriate for her to retrieve the bell personally.
Seeing Ahri exposing her back to him without any precautions, Li Ke actually already had some guesses in his mind, but he would never let it go without verifying it himself.
But Ali couldn't stand this dead silence. She wanted to get along well with Li Ke, but the reality was that it was not possible. So she tried her best to make Li Ke feel better before Li Ke did anything to her.
"The Forget-Me-Not Garden is very close to here. Generally speaking, no one would want to get close to it because it is very close to the spiritual realm. So there grow some flowers with strange powers..."
Ahri really wanted to say they were monsters, because those flowers, like her, were creatures that could devour memories.
It’s just that one is a plant and the other is an animal.
She had long forgotten what kind of mentality she had when she came here.
Maybe it's the monster's empathy, or maybe it feels like people who come here won't mind the loss of some memories.
She didn't know, because every time she thought about it, she felt like a monster.
Li Ke ignored Ali, he just looked at the road ahead and walked in silence . His mood was quite complicated, the news of the old woodcutter's death made him very uneasy, he didn't know whether he should tell him why he didn't look for him in the next Spring Festival.
But this thought was quickly cut off, and his reason returned to his brain.
If you don't want to resurrect the other person, then the dead person should not be disturbed.
That is not about embracing the past and healing the wounds . It is just the weakness of holding on to the hands of those who have left and not wanting them to leave.
So he didn't answer Ahri, also because he was in a state of confusion.
But for Ahri, this was another blow.
How can she make it up to Li Ke?
"No, you don't qualify. You're a monster."
She doesn't know because she is a monster.
"Yes, you are a monster. He doesn't want to pay attention to you because you are a monster. Your appearance is not worth mentioning in his eyes, because in his eyes, your throwing yourself into his arms is nothing more than a monster's prey."
A voice appeared in Ahri's mind, and she bit her lips tightly, because what the voice said was right, she was a monster.
"Yes, I am a monster."
She acknowledged what the voice said and felt that all her strength was gradually being drained away. She looked at the road ahead, tears welling up in her eyes.
She should have thought of this day a long time ago. She was a monster, a monster that devoured the people others loved, even if she had not met this person named Li Ke today, even if she had not let the other party see the bell.
Sooner or later she would encounter this day.
why?
Why does she have feelings?
Allowing this monster to have emotions is because her existence itself is a mistake, so...
So is God torturing her?
“That’s right…”
because I……
“It shouldn’t exist.”
