Chapter 645
Seele looked dully at the voting results on the tablet Mei showed. When she saw that this was a vote deciding whether to execute her, the girl also shivered with fear.
But the next second, after seeing the name of the white boy who was the only one to vote against it on the tablet, uncontrollable emotion and joy surged into her heart.
Even though she did something that disappointed him, even though she couldn't control her own impulses, Bai Ge was still willing to stand on her side. Tears overflowed from Seele's eyes.
(Forget it, if I die, I die. I must meet Bai Ge earlier in the next life, so I won't encounter bad things.)
However, just as Seele thought this.
"Given this vote, the Fire Moth's verdict for you is—confinement for three months."
"Wh, what?"
Seele opened her eyes in surprise. She had already prepared herself mentally to accept the death penalty, but this reversal was too sudden, making her unable to react for a while.
"Who do you think stood on your side."
Mei pushed her glasses with an expressionless face.
"Even if everyone in the world voted in favor, so what? As long as Bai Ge voted against it, then no one could kill you. So congratulations, Herrscher of Death, you have obtained the most useful golden medal of exemption from death in this world."
"............"
Seele looked at the three of them dully, not knowing what to say for a while.
"However, I must tell you that although it seems like Bai Ge only cast one vote against it, there is a price for this vote. Now some people in the Fire Moth have questioned Bai Ge, and his reputation has been damaged because of you."
"What did you say!"
Seele grabbed subconsciously with force, and immediately the doll in her hand was torn in two, and white cotton scattered all over the floor.
She looked at her hands in fear, unable to help but blame herself for not controlling her strength again.
"It's not just that, he also cleaned up the mess you caused. For the person you hurt while out of control, Bai Ge gave her a generous compensation, and an apology."
Mei almost bit her teeth to pieces when she said this.
Mobius and Sakura beside her also had dark faces; one had fierce light in her snake eyes, and the other had already placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, both looking like they wanted to kill someone.
Compensation and apologies didn't matter!
But the victim demanded more than that, because the other party recognized Bai Ge's identity, so she also asked for a kiss. This was the real reason that angered these three people.
Especially Mei, she hadn't even been kissed yet! She was actually beaten to the punch by an NPC who didn't even have a name!
(Victim: Ah~ this wave is a huge profit! Huge profit!)
"How could this be, why! It was clearly my mistake! Why let Bai Ge apologize for me!"
Seele shouted, unable to accept it. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her nails had already embedded into her flesh, piercing her palms.
"Yeah, why should he take responsibility for you? Herrscher of Death, you Herrscher who killed so many people, I still can't understand what qualifications you have to be treated gently by him. To be honest, you don't deserve it at all."
"I, I..."
This merciless evaluation left Seele speechless. Afterward, Mobius also said coldly.
"Herrscher of Death, your original ending should have been to fall into my hands as a corpse, and then be cut into hundreds or thousands of pieces for me to study. Don't feel angry, because you are a Herrscher, so you deserve it. But you are still alive and well now, I think you should know the reason for this very well."
Mobius's finger poked Seele's heart position.
Although it was cold and ruthless words.
But what they said was indeed the fact that should have happened.
Seele was not an innocent Herrscher. Even though her birth was Honkai's choice and a tragedy destined by fate, the result was that many people died because of her birth.
Even though her nature was not evil, she was born with sins. After all, the birth of the Herrscher of Death, Seele, was undoubtedly a disaster for humanity.
Compared to her, Himeko was incomparably lucky.
Although both were chosen by Honkai to become Herrschers, her appearance time was marked in detail by Old Mi, so Bai Ge could prepare in advance and save everyone.
He didn't let Himeko bear even a single human life.
And Seele's fate should have been no different from the Herrschers before her. After being subjugated by Bai Ge, she would have become an object for dissection on Mobius's experimental table, becoming material for humanity to study Honkai.
But her fate was changed by the boy.
Even though she wasn't qualified, she survived.
She even lived well and very happily.
"I can imagine that even if you make more mistakes in the future, Bai Ge will definitely help you. Even if it means his reputation is damaged and his prestige plummets, he will never give up on you. After all, he is that kind of person."
Once you walk into the heart of that white boy and occupy a seat in his heart, you will be protected by him with all his might, even if you are a Herrscher who is an enemy of the world, it is no exception.
Mei once joked that if our world were a game, then as long as you maxed out Bai Ge's favorability, it would be equivalent to getting an invincible cheat and holding onto a super thigh.
"But Herrscher of Death, how can you betray his trust!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't want this, Bai Ge, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."
Seele held her head with both hands, feeling incomparably guilty. She suddenly had the thought that it would have been better if she had been subjugated in the first place.
Just thinking that she would become a stain on Bai Ge, she had the urge to kill herself.
"No next time, Herrscher of Death, otherwise even if Bai Ge hates me because of this, even if he takes back this knife, I will never let you live in this world again."
Sakura's ice blade was placed on Seele's neck. This was not a bluff, but a serious warning.
Although she was not to Seele's extent, Sakura was also a person from the darkness and was also saved by the white boy.
Since the day Bai Ge saved Sakura and her sister Rin from the control of the Fire Moth high command, she had already sworn in her heart to fight for this white boy in the future.
Even if it was something Bai Ge didn't care about, Sakura decided to protect it. Therefore, if Seele really made Bai Ge's reputation damaged, then this fox-eared girl would really draw her sword.
"... That would be great."
Seele was not timid or afraid. Feeling the coldness placed on her neck, she only felt incomparably at ease.
At this moment, her heart had already made a resolution.
Whether it was a Herrscher or a human, these didn't matter anymore. Even if it was a curse carved by God, so what? She would never do anything to disappoint Bai Ge again.
At this moment, Seele decided to completely abandon her identity as a Herrscher on the Honkai side. However, because the urge to kill was still branded in her soul, she couldn't become a Herrscher of humanity either.
"Since that's the case, then I'll become Bai Ge's Herrscher! Honkai or whatever, humanity or whatever, I don't want to care anymore. From now on, I only wish to use my power for him."
Seele said with a firm gaze.
She was an unfortunate girl who had lived a very hard life before meeting Bai Ge. Seele didn't like this world that brought her pain at all, but she already understood.
Even if she took revenge on the world, she would get nothing.
If it was for the boy who treated her well alone,
Seele was willing to reconcile with the world.
"Well said, but I think you know that your urge to kill must be resolved."
"... Aponia, I remember Bai Ge told me before that this woman's words can restrict other people's actions."
"It's useless. Although Aponia's 【Discipline】 can change a person's will and actions, it cannot erase the mission/curse of destroying humanity bestowed upon you by Honkai."
Mei shook her head and denied it. Aponia's 【Discipline】 was ultimately just human words, while Honkai's order to kill could be said to be a 【Discipline】 issued by God.
That was a curse that could not be reversed by human power.
If one were to compare the binding force of both sides, Honkai's curse was like an incomparably sturdy chain, while Aponia's 【Discipline】 could only be said to be fragile hair strands in comparison.
But...
"If one sentence doesn't work, then give me a few more. As long as it's not directly defying Honkai's order to kill, but changing to another form to place restrictions on me..."
As long as she used the concept of swapping concepts to issue 【Discipline】.
Then even if she couldn't change the urge to kill.
But perhaps she could stop the actions of the body!
Seele had already decided; even if she had to be issued dozens or hundreds of those 【Discipline】 things, it didn't matter!
After all, as a Herrscher, if she wanted to be with Bai Ge, who was a human, how could she not pay a huge price.
"... Okay, I will let Aponia plant 【Discipline】 on you later, but perhaps you need this more." Mei said while throwing a set of strangely designed clothes to Seele.
"This is, clothes with locks and chains?" Seele frowned.
"A restraint suit designed by Vill-V. When you make a move to hurt humans, the chains on the clothes will bind you tightly. Dealing with you without a core, it's enough."
"This, it's actually quite good-looking."
Seele put on these clothes without hesitation.
Afterward, her expression was a bit subtle.
The restraint suits she saw in movies were all without any aesthetic sense, basically the style of having limbs tied with leather belts.
But this one before her was made very well-looking; it was actually a Lolita-style black princess dress, but with a few gray chains wrapped around it. A chain was wrapped around Seele's neck, extending and connecting to her waist. (Look at the picture)
"Tsk! It's all Vill-V and Eden being nosy..."
"Exactly, why make such good-looking restraint suits for a Herrscher, what a waste."
"Mei, Mobius, stop talking, you know in your hearts that it must have been Bai Ge who asked those two to design it like this." Sakura looked at these two jealous crazy scientists with helplessness.
"Hmph!"x2
