Chapter 305: Gradually Clear Thoughts
When returning to Caiyun Wetland again, Delphinium's mood had calmed down a lot, but she was still thinking.
Rationally speaking, she knew very well that most of what Emerald had advised her was correct. In fact, if she were asked to stand as a third party and judge everything she was facing at the moment, she might even give similar advice as Emerald.
However, when it came to the defense of the garden, and when everything in the present was gradually overlapping with the afterimages of twenty years ago, Delphinium realized that she might not be as rational as she thought.
The conspiracy of Claw Mark and Black Dawn is definitely not a good thing, so it is impossible to let them act. The response of the Institute of Magic Affairs and the Research Institute is justified, even if there is selfish motive, it can't be said to be a bad thing.
Then the problem undoubtedly lies with her.
What kind of mood made her so unwilling to directly confront these "city defense army traitors"?
Perhaps it is because her view of these "old teammates" is always filtered through some kind of memories.
Because they had worked for the same goal, because they had fought against the same enemies, because they had experienced the same pain and sorrow... There were so many "sames" that she couldn't help but regard herself as a similar person to them.
She knew that people would change. Even Mo He, who had traveled with her a few days ago and had a lot of exchanges with her, might just be showing off his acting skills. On the surface, he pretended to be an idealist, but in fact he was a vicious executioner behind the scenes... She had thought about all these things.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but wonder, is there a possibility that these former comrades, even though they are already in the claw marks, are not the same kind of people as Sparrow, Kite, White Wolf and others?
This sounds like an excuse she made for her "old comrades", but it is actually possible. After all, judging from the information that Delphinium knows, the members of Claw Scar are divided into at least three parts according to their origins and time periods.
The first part is undoubtedly the core of the establishment of Claw Mark. They were also White Wolf's confidants when he was still a purple diamond in the magic kingdom. They are all magical girls who have many interests with the Finance Academy and the Finance Academy. These magical girls are undoubtedly White Wolf's loyal fans. For him, they can even betray the kingdom, so it is not impossible for them to do anything else.
The second part is about the time when Claw Mark began to defect from the country, and the "eliminated" who joined him for unknown reasons, such as Mo He, and many magical girls who were injured in the war between the two worlds and whose combat capabilities were greatly reduced.
The last part is after Clawmark has become independent and even gradually famous. Those magical girls who defected from the country because of bad behavior and joined because of their reputation. It is difficult to regard any of these magical girls as good people. Their voluntary defection and voluntary joining of a "traitor organization" is already a statement: such magical girls probably aim to do evil from the beginning.
Of these three groups, the first and third should be out-and-out terrorists. However, the second group is full of doubts.
Judging from their composition, these people are undoubtedly the most unsociable part of Claw Mark. Apart from that, what exactly caused them to defect after the war, why they joined forces with White Wolf and others, and what they did after joining Claw Mark are all big mysteries.
In fact, if Mo He did not lie or conceal part of the truth, then judging from her description of her "work content", it did not seem like she was carrying out any terrorist activities, but rather like she was doing some sociological experiment.
After putting all this information together, the question facing Delphinium becomes a rather general one.
Have these "old comrades" of mine already stepped into the darkness and walked to the opposite side of normal society; or are they still sane in the quagmire, just waiting for someone to help them out? Thinking about this question, Cuique unknowingly walked to the hut where Mo He and others had lived before.
The light in the cabin was on, but judging by the camping equipment outside, the residents had been replaced by another group of people. This meant that the question in her mind was doomed to never be answered by the person himself.
And if you can't get a definite answer and have no way of judging what attitude you should have towards these people, what else can you do?
Looking at the brightly lit white viewing room in front of her, Delphinium stopped where she was. She rolled up her overly long skirt and tucked it between her arms, not moving for a long time.
Is there a plan that can ensure the safety of the certification assessment site, while allowing the security defense forces to show some mercy, not to kill Mo He and others from the beginning, and to leave room for inquiry into the truth? In the process, they cannot reveal too many traces of their involvement in the operation of the Magic Affairs Institute, and cannot reveal information about their communication with these claw marks. It would be best if they could reasonably distinguish between the claw marks and the Black Ember Dawn, and not let go of the pests of the Black Ember Dawn if they are screened...
"……ah."
Got it.
After a long time, Delphinium came up with a plan that, although a little stupid and inefficient, could indeed perfectly execute her will.
——Isn't it better for me to capture Mo He and the others myself, and let the people from the Institute of Black Dawn deal with it? She can recognize who are the old comrades of the city defense army, so she will not choose the wrong people from the beginning. And if she does it herself, she can ensure that the intensity of the battle can be controlled and no one will be killed at the beginning. And if after questioning, it is determined that the other party has completely fallen and there is no possibility of salvation, then she will bring him to justice with her own hands.
Without a doubt, this was the safest option she could think of.
The only thing he needed to worry about was the possibility of being recognized when he was fighting with Claw Hen and the others, so perhaps he should make some fine adjustments to the layout of the examination room to ensure that he was in a position where no one would notice him when he was fighting with them.
In addition, the distribution of defense forces in the examination room, the adjustment of the viewing position, and the range of activities of the candidates...all these things need to be adjusted accordingly in order to adapt to one's plan.
While thinking about the specific plan in her mind, Delphinium turned around and walked towards the cottage where she lived, lifting her skirt.
Now that the core essentials have been made clear, there is no need for her to ponder over it alone. She can simply submit this plan to the Magic Affairs Institute and let Zhe Helan and others help her perfect it.
It was already late at night. If I didn't go back, my younger generations would probably worry about me.
And so, after walking for a while, Delphinium returned to the cabin.
To her surprise, there was a person standing at the door of the cabin.
Lin Xiaolu held her cell phone, lowered her head and bit her thumb nail, looking thoughtful. At the same time, she paced around the door in a radius of several meters, as if she was making some difficult decision.
"…Why haven't you come back yet? Could something have really happened? Should I call? But if it's really an important occasion over there, my call might ruin things. But if something really happened, it wouldn't be right not to call…"
Faintly, Delphinium could still hear its strange soliloquy.
Lin Xiaolu's strange behavior continued until Delphinium approached the door and the footsteps became very obvious. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the other party, first showing expressions of "expectation", "relief of getting what you want", and "happiness"; then she showed expressions of "confusion", "surprise", and "astonishment"; after showing several expressions like Sichuan Opera's face-changing, she began to evolve towards "sigh", "shock", and "touched".
If Delphinium hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine that a person's face could change into so many expressions in just a few seconds, and that person was even her own daughter.
“…It’s so beautiful.”
Finally, Lin Xiaolu's expression froze into "intoxicated". She stared at the image of the bird at this moment, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes as if she was worshipping a god:
"God, if this is a dream, please don't let me wake up again. If this is reality, please let me open my eyes and see the supreme beauty of this world."
After she finished muttering this, she opened her eyes again, and when she looked at Delphinium again and confirmed that what she saw was true...
Lin Xiaolu shed tears.
"I live in this world just to see this scene, Delphinium, you are simply an angel!"
She put on a posture as if she wanted to pounce on him for intimacy, but she didn't dare to make a move, so she froze in the middle, turning into a posture as if she was worshipping.
This exaggerated performance, which seemed like a disgrace to herself, left Delphinium speechless for a moment.
She lowered her head and glanced at the decorations on her body, then she realized that she had been thinking about something on the way back and forgot to change back into the princess dress she wore to the dinner party.
Is the effect of this dress really that good? She couldn't help but wonder, but after Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan came out because of the commotion caused by Lin Xiaolu, and then showed expressions that were no different from Lin Xiaolu's, except that the degree of difference was different, she knew the answer to this question;
——Well, it seems that Emerald’s clothes are indeed good.
