'Since it's dangerous, I'll just send him away …' she said to herself.
In fact, there was a better way to solve the problem once and for all — to destroy the thing that brought the threat … She should have made this choice before today.
'What's disturbing me?'
What she didn't know was that the road to the [Door] controlled by the high priest was a long one. As the two of them walked side by side, she suddenly had a ridiculous thought. She hoped that this road could go on forever.
In that way, she wouldn't know the truth, and she wouldn't have to know the truth … She didn't want to know the truth.
She wasn't frightened by this idea.
"I'm a despicable person," she said while looking at the young guard in front of her.
The boss said that he had never met a person who wasn't despicable, including himself in the past.
Yamen Lana thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is the only way to be a complete person."
She hoped to be a complete person. The light of the soul flickered in the boss's vision, like a candle in the wind.
Then, they arrived at the final destination — the Gate.
…
…
The high priest was here, holding the Scales of Good and Evil with both hands, as if he was sure that Yamen Lana would come to his side.
"Yamen Lana, you didn't let me down," the high priest sounded so gratified.
Yamen Lana was sure of one thing, that was, the high priest didn't see the young guard Iben, and she couldn't see him at this time.
'He accompanied me all the way, and it wasn't an illusion … Why does he always disappear when I need him?'
'Just like when I threw the relic of my mother to the Pharaoh of the kingdom, he also disappeared suddenly … He always appeared when I needed him.'
"But you let me down." Yamen Lana took a deep breath, 'Maybe he didn't really disappear, but he was still observing … Looking at me with his eyes to get the answer.'
"What do you care about?" The high priest had extraordinary observation skills. At this time, he noticed that Yamarana's attention was slightly distracted. He couldn't help but frown, "Yamarana, this reminds me of your mother … She used to be like this, but when there is another emotion in her heart, she will always show this kind of expression. You two are so alike. "
"Then, did my mother disappoint you?" Yamanlana asked calmly as she walked towards the High Priestess.
The so-called [Door] was not a physical existence. Perhaps it was just a special kind of energy that required the high priest to use special means to appear. If the [Door] did not appear, this was at best an empty house with nothing.
Just like the Realm of Gods, just like the Realm of Sins, it was always so quiet, so quiet that even the sound of breathing and heartbeat could be heard clearly. If there was no light here, perhaps a normal person would not be able to stay here for a day.
"All my love and expectations were once given to her."
This was the High Priest's answer.
"She turned into a giant beast right in front of me!" Yammanlana shook her head and said, "Right in front of my eyes, my father killed my mother with his own hands, and then she turned into a giant beast and turned into sand in front of me."
"This was an accident, Yamanlana." The High Priestess opened her hands and said, "As a [Weapon], your mother could not defeat the desire in her heart in the end … I thought that after having a complete life, your mother would become a perfect [Weapon], but her love for you exceeded the thought of saving you. She became selfish and selfishly devoured it. But I don't regret letting your mother have a complete life, because she gave birth to a more excellent you … Yamanlana, you are the best candidate to become a [Weapon]. "
"You are wrong, I am not perfect at all." Yamanlana laughed at herself and said, "It has been so many years! You took me away from the City of the Sun, you let me live in the outside world, you let me have the identity of Claudia, you let me go back and forth between two worlds … One is a civilized and free world, and the other is a world where death is always accompanied by every step! Do you know that every time I came back from the outside world, it was so cruel for me? Many times, I even didn't want to come back! "
"No, this is the real thing, facing difficulties and fighting for lofty ideals …" The High Priestess showed a blazing light in her eyes, "Only a [Weapon] with a firm belief can become the perfect vessel of the Libra. Every time you can resist the temptation of the outside world and come back, you have done a good job. Yamanlana, you have always done a good job, you are just a little bit lacking. But it doesn't matter, this experience will make you even closer to perfection. "
"In that case, why did you let me leave this time …" Yamanlana sneered, "Isn't this contradictory?"
The High Priestess said indifferently, "As long as you are safe, as long as the Libra is still there, as long as you can become a [Weapon], the City of the Sun will welcome a day of rebirth. Yamanlana, the process of growth is always accompanied by failures and setbacks. Accept them, defeat them, and you will become more perfect … Sun City is just a hotbed to cultivate you. No matter how many I can create, I will be able to create you. You have proved that you have a strong enough will to resist all temptations, so what you need to experience next is despair … greater despair. "
She suddenly felt that this man was unfamiliar.
She didn't know when it started, but this man seemed to have replaced the position of the Pharaoh in her heart … Since the Pharaoh killed her mother?
She didn't know, but she clearly knew that when she went through the magical [Door] and became an ordinary girl named Claudia, and lived in the prosperous and civilized world outside, she had a father-daughter relationship with this man.
Xie Jiatu and Claudia … It made her think that everything in the City of the Sun was just a fairy tale that she heard when she was a child, and it was just something that she imagined in her mind.
"Isn't this contradictory?" Yamanlana shook her head, "Since you let me know that this is just an arrangement … you can't achieve the effect of the experiment. I don't understand, how can you, who brought me into the civilized world, make such a low-level mistake? "
The High Priestess said, "It's very simple, because I need you to come here … Coming here is enough, Yamanlana, I said, you did a good job, because you brought me what I needed."
"I don't understand." Yamanlana couldn't help but frown.
At this time, the High Priestess took a step back and reached out her hand to press a brick on the wall behind her … A rumbling sound was heard, and the door behind Yamanlana was directly closed at this time.
She subconsciously felt a kind of uneasiness.
At the same time, the floor began to crack … At the crack, something was pushing up a huge cylindrical container!
Yamanlana's pupils suddenly contracted, and a blank state of understanding began to occupy her mind … She suddenly took two steps back – because of fear!
The cylindrical container in front of her … In the container in front of her, in the light blue liquid, there was a naked body – her … her own body!
"She … she is the one outside?" Yamanlana subconsciously said, "You … you also caught her?"
"No, she is still outside." The High Priestess said indifferently, "She is still outside, working hard to command the army to deal with the rioting giant beasts. Because of a man that I appreciate but don't want to cooperate with me, the day of the longest night under the normal procedure has come earlier than expected. "
"Then she is …" Yamanlana looked at the body in the container in horror.
She suddenly remembered the young guard Iben's question … After Iben saw the person in the pool, he asked her if she was also in the pool — she said no.
"This is the real you, Yamanlana." The High Priestess smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it can also be the real Claudia — whether it is you or the one outside, you are just a part of her."
Yamanlana's expression suddenly became excited, she pulled out her gun … and madly shot at the container, so unyielding.
But the bullets couldn't break the surface of the container … The naked body in the container seemed to have no intuition, Yamanlana's hands began to tremble.
She couldn't accept one thing — she wasn't the real one, the one who was commanding the battle outside wasn't a part of her, she was actually a part of the real one.
They were actually a part of the body in the container … a copy.
"Soon." The High Priestess waved her hand, and the [Scales of Good and Evil] in her hand suddenly burst out a flash of light … The light shot out and directly trapped Yamanlana, making her unable to move. "Soon, a full body you … or Claudia will, but then, she will have a more perfect potential as a [Weapon]."
"Don't come over … You are not the High Priestess I know." Yamanlana's face was full of horror, "You are not my father, you are not him … Who are you! You are not him! "
"I said, no matter where I am, I am this identity." The High Priestess walked in front of Yamanlana, reached out and touched her face, and said softly, "Those days in the outside world were also my happiest days … Yamanlana, my daughter."
Deception, betrayal, anger, despair … hatred — at this moment, in her heart, the degree of grief was even far greater than when the High Priestess framed her in front of everyone and turned her into a giant beast.
"Why … at this moment, you still want to mention …"
"To let you have the last bit of fantasy and hope in your heart." The High Priestess smiled and said, "Then destroy it."
As she said, the High Priestess waved her hand, and Yamanlana felt a sharp pain from her abdomen — a dagger pierced into her body from the High Priestess' hand.
"I need to dig out your soul, Yamanlana." The High Priestess said softly, "It already has enough growth."
"I … what exactly am I …"
"Of course you are …" The High Priestess held her head gently, and whispered in a low voice, "My most beloved adopted daughter."
Her eyes gradually lost their luster, as if she had lost her soul, and became an empty shell.
A smile appeared on the High Priestess' face … But his smile suddenly froze, because he felt something — the scale in his hand suddenly became hot, and he immediately turned around!
Beside the cylindrical container, a young man wearing the uniform of a palace guard had appeared out of nowhere.
At this time, the young man pressed his palm on the surface of the cylindrical container … and looked at the High Priestess, "So that's how it is, the soul splitting and the soul regenerating, just like the broken tail of a gecko, it can grow back very quickly … It's really incredible, this is the [Scales of Good and Evil]."
The High Priestess' eyes changed from surprise to vigilance, and then calmed down … she frowned and said, "You are the guy who lured the Pharaoh to mutate in the hall … How do you know that digging out his left eye can make him …?"
The young guard shook his head and said, "Compared to this, don't you think it's a pity?"
"Pity?" The High Priestess smiled casually, but she quietly pointed one side of the scale in her hand at the young guard in front of her.
As if he didn't see the High Priestess' little action, he thought for a while and said, "This is obviously a beautiful soul that can illuminate the dark night like a star, but why … Why did you let it be tainted and let it completely fall into the abyss? You see, it has become no longer shining, from a gem to an inconspicuous stone, it's really a pity. "
"There are too many beautiful things." The High Priestess smiled faintly and said, "But most beautiful things are not real, like glass, they will shatter with a touch. Ugly things are different. They are the toughest things in the world, and at the same time, they are the best nutrients. "
The young guard smiled and said, "The High Priestess' method of nurturing souls is really admirable … Let me introduce myself, I am a traveling merchant from the outside world, and I am here to help my customers solve their problems."
"And then?" The High Priestess narrowed her eyes slightly.
The young guard waved his hand, and the scale in the High Priestess' hand suddenly became extremely heavy, and it sank to the floor, almost crushing his palm. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"You have something in your heart that you want, I will sell it to you." The young guard thought for a while and said, "But in return, you can sell this scale in your hand and your [Materials] to me."
When he heard that the young guard wanted the scale, the High Priestess wasn't too surprised, but when she heard about [Materials], her expression couldn't help but change slightly.
"I don't know what you are talking about." The High Priestess shook her head.
The young guard stepped back, and his finger lightly tapped on the wall … The surrounding walls began to crack, and at the same time, the floor began to crack as well.
From the cracked wall, cylindrical containers were pushed out one by one. On the floor, the same cylindrical containers rose up one by one … Within these containers, there were naked bodies.
Among them, there were both males and females, and among them, there was even a girl who looked like the little maid Alaine … There were more than 50 of them.
"For the remnant soul in the scale, one [Tool] probably isn't enough." The young guard said casually, "That's why you need so many … Even for yourself …"
Among the many containers, there was a container, and inside was a body that looked like the High Priestess' own body …
