Chapter 757: Shouzaburo? Gray rain!

If the purpose was simply to give birth to an ideal child, then Naganuma Jusaburo would not be worthy of being compared to a writer.

But in that conversation in the woods, the god undoubtedly mentioned the painter and the writer on a par with each other, which proves that Naganuma Jusaburo should have the same qualifications as a writer, or at least he has the minimum potential!
So, after Xia Shou repeatedly chewed on those key clues, he finally understood the real intention of Naganuma Juzaburo - he completed a self-portrait before his death! The painting was not a simple self-portrait, but the appearance of the child he imagined with Shirayuki.

He poured all his emotions into it, as if to declare: "This is me!"

It is not easy to do this, because emotional outpouring cannot be fake. If it is just self-deception, then what the painting finally conveys is just self-deceptive emotions, which cannot truly infect and change the viewer.

Naganuma Jusaburo must have believed in this matter firmly in order to inject the right emotions into it, and everything that happened now proves that the madman really did it!

That bastard really believed that he could inject his spirit into the painting through the form of drawing, and then transfer his spirit to Huiyu by letting his son watch the painting!
A few minutes ago, Xia Shou was actually not sure about the correctness of this absurd idea. It was not until he heard what Ke Hen said that he truly confirmed this guess.

After all, normal people would never have such thoughts.

You have to know that even the swamp man theory is still a huge controversy. Even most people do not recognize that the person born from the swamp is themselves, even if the personality, memory, body, and thoughts of this clone are the same as their own.

But Naganuma Jusaburo actually thought so. This guy actually thought that he could use this method to revive the dead and transfer the soul that he thought existed into the body of his son!
This paradoxical self-identification is inconceivable even now.

However, it was precisely this truth that made Xia Shou fully understand what the golden-haired dog god said in the Moonlight Glade - "Baihe could not refuse his sister's request, and he could not kill the painter's painting."

The god did not mention the painter, but used the painter's painting to refer to him. This shows that the gods have determined that Huiyu is not Naganuma Hisaburo, and that Naganuma Hisaburo's behavior is not true reincarnation at all.

But on the other hand, Naganuma Jusaburo did open up a new path of being "influenced by narrative", which can be regarded as a new way of thinking that founded a new school of thought, and perhaps it can also be regarded as a great achievement.

Although the current situation is extremely serious and almost to the point where no time can be lost, it is not difficult to eliminate the current hidden danger. We just need to get rid of Hui Yu, the person involved.

But this is exactly where Xia Shou hesitates.

The current Huiyu is not the real Naganuma Jusaburo at all. Huiyu is just a "child who was influenced by strange paintings, had a confused identity and regarded himself as a dead painter."

So... they were not actually killing the enemy, but a child, an innocent child with a disordered mind.

To save a city of people, to kill a child who is a victim?

Until the last moment, Xia Shou would never take this path, not to mention that Huiyu is the person Baihe cares about most.

Even if he really had to leave, he had to find Wei Yu first, in order to minimize the worst impact of this incident.

You know, even though the Control Bureau has been making cruel decisions, there is still a bottom line. Even if it has to abandon its companions, there is also the principle of not harming its own people. That’s why there is the default unspoken rule of “contribution-based dismissal.”

The reason why the death rate of the Control Bureau is so high is that there are still a large number of extraordinary people fighting on the front line for the so-called "protecting the world". They feel that even if they die, there will still be someone who can protect their family on their behalf.

This is also the credit that the Control Bureau has established over a long period of time, the most basic trust.

Employees unconditionally risk their lives in exchange for an unconditional promise of protection. Once this promise becomes something that can be measured in terms of pros and cons, the foundation of the control bureau will collapse.

If someone kills Huiyu in order to prevent this disaster, it would be equivalent to breaking this lower limit, which is even worse than directly betraying employees.

Today, in order to save the people of an entire city, Baihe can be asked to "consider the overall situation."

Then there will definitely be a second Baihe River and a third Baihe River in the future.

Besides, even if we don’t consider this impact, Xia Shou doesn’t want to do this at all.

He and Brother Bai have been through so many life and death situations, and now he wants to stab Brother Bai in the back and wipe out the last bit of Bai Xue's thoughts. Then he and Brother Bai will definitely never meet again. So he wants Wei Yu to kill? Let Wei Yu bear the guilt? And then he can avoid breaking up with Brother Bai?

This shameful idea of ​​shifting responsibility made Xia Shou very unhappy. Even though reason told him that this was the option with the least loss, he still could not accept it.

So he is still running, still pursuing the last glimmer of uncertainty!
Finally, the edge of the dark and hazy barrier appeared in front of Xia Shou.

……

……

Under the moonlight, Su Yue supported the handle of Tongziqie with both hands and put a large part of her body weight on the weapon to reduce the physical energy consumption of standing.

Su Weiyu bent over, supported her knees with her hands, gasped heavily, her chest heaving like a bellows, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her pale cheeks, dripping from her chin along her jawline into the mud.

Behind the two of them, the six previous trial participants were lying on the grass in a bloody mess, their bodies had been chopped into pieces, but the conditions of Su Yue and Su Weiyu were not optimistic either.

They underestimated the strength of these winners who had transplanted the bodies of other trial-takers.

Although Su Yue and Su Weiyu, who had just defeated Yi Lei, had reached an unprecedented peak in their understanding of combat, their combat power had more than doubled.

But Yi Lei's physical consumption of them was also very severe, and at the last moment, Yi Lei's claws cut Su Yue's abdomen. The extremely deep laceration made Su Yue almost lose her mobility. She was lucky to be able to kill these trial participants.

But... the people present were not just the first trial-taker to see death.

The edge of the moon in the sky began to break, and the influence of this abnormal phenomenon was rapidly diminishing, which could be seen from the multi-layered lawns that gradually stopped rotating.

In the end, if we just hold on for a little longer, the influence of the red hole desire on this group of people will dissipate, and then we will be able to have a rational conversation.

However...even without the influence of this temporary red hole, as the finisher of the Control Bureau, she is still an enemy of most of them.

What bad luck! What should I do next?

Su Yue thought blankly, but her extreme fatigue made her unable to organize efficient and smooth thinking, so this problem became an unsolvable problem.

At this time, several more people climbed up to the highest lawn. Su Yue looked at them nervously and found that the expressions of these people had become complicated... This showed that their rationality was taking over the thinking high ground.

This was a good sign, meaning she only had to delay a little longer.

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "You should have had the same feeling just now, right? As long as you get her, you can get that power."

"That's the influence of the ritual, right?" another person retorted, frowning.

The man nodded and said very rationally: "Yes, but the control bureau is sweeping outside. If we just go out like this, won't we be doomed?
You feel that urge fading, too, right?
Rather than going out and being killed by the Control Bureau, it is better to obey the remaining desires. Perhaps... we can defeat the Control Bureau with the power we get from this woman."

Su Yue cursed this man's ancestors in her heart.

"Fuck you! Come on, I'll kill whoever comes on me! Anyway, I'll kill as many as I can before I die!" Su Yue gritted her teeth and cursed viciously, completely lacking the dignified demeanor of her usual girl idol.

Although this may seem like a harsh statement, it actually expresses one's own position. The implication is:
Although I can’t do it now, I can still kill the first few who come forward.

Even if I don't have the ability to kill you all, I will definitely fight to my death, and in the end you will get nothing.
