Chen Rui really wanted to beat the prophet up again, but looking at Athena, who was glaring at him angrily, he held it in and sneered. "To be honest, I should have given you this punch when Rolla drew the Queen in White card. If I could leave this place, I would have blown your head off in the Psychedelic Forest with one punch. However, I remember you saying that regardless of success or failure, this would be the last time we meet, so I don't want to leave any regrets. "
Athena, who was at the side, was confused. Rolla … Is she referring to the Assistant Principal, Teacher Rolla? Also, what did the "Queen in White" and "Psychedelic Forest" mean?
"This punch wasn't light." Alucier touched her slightly swollen face in pain, but shook her head. "Unfortunately, it can't kill. Oh right, Athena, the little dagger in your sleeve is useless …"
Athena trembled slightly. The Principal actually saw through her hidden dagger, and he even exposed it in front of that scumbag!
After applying the medicine, Alucier regained her original elegance and calmness. "Sit down first, Athena. I'm fine. Actually, if you really want to kill someone, this is more useful. "
With that, Alucier took out another box from her bag, placed it on the table, and opened it. Athena saw that it was actually a revolver. She couldn't help but be shocked. What was going on with the Principal?
Illegal gun possession?
No, not only illegal gun possession, but also those words. What did they mean? Kill someone?
Alucier pushed the box in Chen Rui's direction. "Now, it's time for you to choose."
"Principal!" Athena couldn't help but cry out. "What are you doing?"
"As you saw and heard just now, I'm giving him a choice." Alucier raised her head, and her gaze seemed to pass through the building and fall directly on the deep sky. "This gamble has reached the most critical moment."
Athena still couldn't understand. "Gamble?"
Chen Rui picked up the revolver and looked at it. There was only one bullet in it.
"You only have one choice." Alucier smiled faintly and said, "I know that you have already done many things to change yourself in this world. You also want to make up for the missing state of mind, but in the end, you can't avoid the choice. This is life. "
"There is always a choice, and once it is made, there is no turning back. This is indeed life." Chen Rui smiled. He looked at Alucier, and then looked at Athena. "Can this gun … destroy this damned world?"
"At least it can destroy the world in your or my heart." Alucier sighed. "The result of destruction may be for the sake of birth, but in the end, destruction is inevitable. Your choice will decide this world, and it will also decide the other world. You must consider it carefully. "
Chen Rui paced slowly in the room, and the atmosphere became oppressive.
After a long time, he stopped. Chen Rui looked at Athena and said, "The key point is that the most likely one is not you or me, but her."
Alucier nodded and said, "She and the Son of Destruction are the biggest inducements for you to come to this world. At the same time, she is also the 'protagonist' of the recent events in this world. But, why can't it be me?"
Alucier's words made Chen Rui's eyes flash. "That's right, you are the mastermind behind everything! From the first time I saw you … No, from the moment I received your green leaf badge, I, Rolla, and many others have fallen into your trap. In this world, you are the only 'Awakened', or rather, you are the only main thread that connects the two worlds. No wonder you said that this was the last time you would see me. That's right, I should kill you. "
As he spoke, Chen Rui raised the gun and aimed at Alucier.
"Stop!" Athena stood up. "How dare you kill the headmaster!"
Chen Rui's eyes narrowed, and his finger was already slowly pulling the trigger.
Alucier was calm and composed. "Why are you still hesitating? Kill me, and everything will be over. "
Chen Rui's eyelids twitched, and he took a deep breath. "Wait a minute, I seem to have missed someone."
Alucier smiled, and her smile was like that of an old fox. "Yourself."
Chen Rui slowly put down the gun and walked a few steps until he was in front of Athena. "'I' am the biggest scourge, the scum who has done countless evil things. This may be the dark side of my heart, or something like an inner demon. As long as I no longer exist in this world, then the other world will return to me. "
Hearing this, Athena finally understood. It turned out that this' scum 'was choosing to kill her, Alucier, or himself. From Alucier's attitude, it seemed that this terrible choice was given to him by the headmaster. Why was this happening?
"No, you still don't fully understand." Alucier shook her head. "I must first remind you that if you make the wrong choice, you will forever deviate from your original world. And in this world, you have already committed suicide, so you will be completely annihilated!"
Chen Rui was shocked. Alucier was right. After committing suicide, he would already be dead in this world. If the key point was not himself, then it would mean that the 'he' of both worlds had disappeared.
For a moment, cold sweat dripped down Chen Rui 'forehead.
"Killing yourself is actually the most unwise choice. In this world, committing suicide is equivalent to being completely annihilated, completely cutting off one's path to survival. To say the least, let's say you fail and stay in this world. I am the headmaster and the school's biggest board member. Behind me is the 'Elven Financial Group'. Even if you kill me, you will not be able to bear the consequences. The rest of your life will be over. Killing Athena is the safest choice. She is just a girl with no background. With the influence of your father, Rex, it would not be difficult for him to suppress this matter. So … killing her is the safest choice. "
Athena was shocked. In her eyes, this normally well-respected headmaster had suddenly become like a demon.
"Regardless of whether your choice is right or wrong, killing Athena will bring you the best outcome. Moreover, you have analyzed it yourself. She is the most likely key point. "Alucier's words made Athena feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Was this the headmaster's true colors?
At this moment, Athena felt that Chen Rui's gaze had fallen on her.
It was different from what she had imagined. There was no lust or murderous intent in his gaze, only an incredible gentleness.
Then, under Athena's surprised gaze, Chen Rui slowly turned his gun and pointed it at himself.
"How surprising. I have already said so, but you still chose yourself. Moreover, I can see that you are serious." Alucier shook her head.
This sudden change made Athena almost unable to react. She suddenly remembered that from the beginning until now, Chen Rui had pointed his gun at Alucier, at himself, but never at her.
Why?
Although it was inconceivable, her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this person! Although his appearance and identity were exactly the same, he did not seem to be the scum that she had originally known!
Disguise?
Twins?
"Alucier, this is not about killing the demons in your heart, but a choice to face your heart. Even if there is a demon in my heart, it is me. If I kill you or Athena for myself, it is no different from the original 'him'. If you deliberately set up such a trap by seizing this point, then, congratulations. You win. "
"The video recorded by the cameras here will automatically be posted on the internet. I will not let Athena take any blame."
"Your analysis is actually full of loopholes, and it is not entirely the reason why you chose to commit suicide." Alucier sighed. "I can tell you that this is the stupidest path, and it is also a dead end. You should know very well why. "
"My world, your world, they can both be destroyed." Chen Rui answered Alucier, but he kept looking at Athena's eyes. "I just want to use this pair of hands to protect her world and many more people, no matter where they are, no matter what they have to pay."
It was not a disguise! Nor was it an act! Athena's heart suddenly trembled, and an indescribable feeling suddenly filled her chest. She did not know why, but her heart suddenly began to ache.
"Athena." Chen Rui's eyes became gentler. "Maybe this is just your reflection in the mirror. Maybe this is the last time I see this face, but I …"
Chen Rui paused and did not continue. Those words were engraved in his heart and soul, just like in the past.
But, I still love you. It is not like, it is love.
In Mountain Xilang, the shadow bathed in fire, those affectionate and regretless eyes seemed to appear in front of him again, slowly overlapping with that face.
The gushing tears blurred his vision unconsciously.
Is it reincarnation?
Without hesitation, his finger pulled the trigger.
The gunshot rang out.
On campus.
Tiffany, who was in front of the computer, repeatedly watched the video that had been uploaded to a certain large website. She hesitated for a moment and finally clicked publish.
In the campus bank outside the Student Union office, Kia came to an ATM. After entering the password, she looked at the balance shown on the bank card. It was unbelievable. Her slightly trembling hand clenched the letter. The last sentence on the slightly deformed letter was vaguely "Everything will be fine."
On the street behind Kia, Alice, who was jumping with her hands behind her back, smiled and said something to her sister. Looking at her happy sister, Jía's always indifferent eyes showed a rare softness.
On the opposite court, Gabriel welcomed Michael, Raphael, and Satan, who were sweating profusely, with a smile. She handed them towels and mineral water.
Ben Hong still stood silently in the distance, looking at his mobile phone. There was a line of words that had just been typed there: "You love me, or you don't love me. Love is there, neither more nor less." This message was either sent to herself, or to that person, or it would stay in the draft box of the mobile phone forever.
At the school gate, Olypheus and Lalaria walked forward dejectedly. Beside them were the heroic sisters Isabella and Strena. They looked at each other and smiled from time to time.
Farther away from the school, Catherine held her daughter's little hand and walked home step by step. Duoduo was holding a bag of pig head biscuits in her little hand. In Catherine's beautiful eyes, there was confusion, loss, and hope.
There was an advertisement on the sign of the roadside bookstore: Disappointment is acceptable because it is limited, but you can't lose hope because it is endless.
