Chapter 736

~6 min read 1,043 words

Hidden within his thoughts.

The Second Will remained silently silent.

After a long while, he suddenly laughed, though it was somewhat bitter.

("Lin An, now I understand. Why would the Savior System choose you.")

("However, there is something you got wrong…")

Like keeping a secret, after saying that, the Second Will continued to remain silent.

Got it wrong?

Ignoring the Second Will's words, Lin An maintained his killing with a blank expression.

Under the acceleration of the Sands of Time, the trial had only just passed one minute.

Actually.

There was something Lin An never said out loud, nor did he question it.

The Second Will has always been deceiving itself.

Regardless of the earlier conversation, whatever emotion the Second Will displayed and whatever words it spoke,

Lin An would only selectively believe.

Throughout the entire conversation.

There is a very simple loophole, one that the Second Will can never make up for.

During the Long'an Project tests, the Second Will, at any time, recovered the memories from previous tests.

He must have, at some point, consciously killed AnXia, killed Jing Tian, and even everyone!

It's a very obvious logic.

The high-level military had seen the Second Will's defiant performance in the tests, indicating that when it first recovered its memories, it did not know how to conceal its hatred.

So, in order to smoothly escape from the simulation chamber,

The second Lin An must have pretended to lose his memories again, perfectly completing all tests!

He needed to accumulate strength.

(I managed to hold on...)

Hold on?

Once the military realized the Second Will had lost control in the emotion test, they would surely test him again.

Therefore, in the second round of emotion testing...

His gaze was icy.

Another self, in utter clarity, would personally kill all those he cherished to gain trust!

He would not even show any emotional fluctuation.

Lin An asked himself in return.

Even if he wanted revenge no matter how much, could he really conceal all his emotions?

Could he himself kill AnXia with his own hands? Even torture her to death?

The answer is no!

So, the Second Will could only, in endless testing, completely wear away all feelings.

He no longer cared about anything; he only wanted to kill the person behind the door and kill everything hostile.

Just as he said.

(Even if the person behind the door is the Apocalypse Savior, I will destroy hope and kill him!)

If AnXia tries to stop him, he will kill her without hesitation.

If it is Jing Tian, he will expressionlessly twist Jing Tian's head off.

Even if they are close kin, they cannot stop him in the slightest.

Having crawled out of hell, he is no longer human.

With this thought.

Lin An murmured to himself inwardly.

No matter how similar I am to the Second Will.

At least, I am still human...

Uninterrupted killing, efficient.

Before her eyes, Fiona was straining to 'drill into' the phantom.

Not far away, Zhang Tie glanced at Lin An with some surprise.

For some reason, he always felt that Lin Dui seemed to have become somewhat different.

Within the phantom, Fiona's face was pallor, dazedly gazing at a scene as real as actuality.

Her whole body was weak.

"I... have I lost all my strength here?"

Instinctively reaching for her own equipment, Fiona gave a wry smile and discovered that she had not only reverted to an ordinary person, but her equipment had also vanished.

Is it because the phantom does not allow any power to enter?

Looking at the fanatical cultists surrounding the pyre, her expression was resolute.

The key to resolving the descent of the evil god lies in stopping this absurd judgment.

Gazing at the girl whose lips were sewn shut, she could not bear to lift her eyes and meet hers, her mouth silent.

Rest assured, I will surely rescue you!

Clenching her fists silently, Fiona strained to think what she should do.

I currently have no strength; violently seizing someone definitely won't work.

Moreover, it doesn't match her style of conduct.

This group of fanatical cultists are almost all adult males.

The gaze flickered.

After a brief thought, she quickly searched for the lawyer's whereabouts.

rose still needed a court trial before being put on the stake.

That shows that secular authority here actually surpasses the sect.

If we could have the lawyer explain to the judge that rose is innocent...

All problems would be readily solved!

"You're saying, that evil spirit is innocent?"

"Did we wrong her?"

Wearing a black robe and a wig.

The lawyer, preparing to watch the execution, looked contemptuously at Fiona before him.

Normally, he wouldn't even bother with a commoner dressed in the lowest-grade robe, but her pure face and unique demeanor made him barely tolerate her.

His gaze was greedy.

Is she that girl's companion from the sect school? A novice nun?

Meeting the lawyer's gaze, Fiona spoke rapidly:

"That's right!"

"I have sufficient evidence here to prove rose is innocent!"

"She is the victim!"

"That day, after she finished work, someone witnessed the janitor violently coercing her!"

"Her body is covered in wounds!"

Indignant!

"rose's foster parents also took money from the criminal suspect!"

"They colluded, just wanting to frame rose!"

Fiona stared fixedly at the lawyer's eyes.

"Someone who scrimps and saves every day, just to send money to a family that treats her poorly."

"A child raised in an orphanage, who goes to church every day to devoutly pray for divine aid."

"How could she possibly be an evil spirit!"

"Oh?"

They picked their ear.

The lawyer snorted in disdain, casually adjusting the wig.

He stared intently at Fiona's rapidly rising and falling chest, lazily replying:

"rose..."

"He was indeed a good child once; we all know that."

"She has been possessed by an evil spirit."

"Burning her to death is a blessing for her."

Licking lips, the lawyer lowered their head and greedily inhaled a scent.

"Perhaps we can discuss the law tonight..."

The body stiffened.

Fiona stared blankly at the lawyer before her, the evidence she had prepared slipping from her hand to the ground.

Sometimes.

Those who wrong you understand it better than you do.

How innocent you are.
