Chapter 172 Then Become the Light
Lilith tugged at Qi Hanxing's sleeve, and he quickly reacted.
"Bah, who wants you to protect me?"
Having said that, he immediately turned and ran in the other direction. At this time, Lilith and Louis had already left.
Will failed to find any trace of Lilith, and the sneaky target he lured out was just a stupid recruit. He even missed a step and fell into the hollow ground, and it took him a long time to climb out.
"Lilith Lilith, is she invisible? She disappeared while running."
I failed to complete Lord Arnold's request and I will probably be scolded again. Forget it, I'll just do it perfunctorily for now. Anyway, he can't send anyone to the contaminated area now.
Wei Er thought about it and was too lazy to chase Qi Hanxing. He excluded all his people from the group. Apart from being afraid of that prince and wary of Xie Huan, he didn't bother to pay attention to the others.
"There's no need to look for him seriously. He's just a guide. How big of a problem could he possibly cause? He's probably just angry because he was fooled."
He had to run for two consecutive nights. Even though he was fully prepared, he still felt his spirit body was slightly restless.
"Which guide should we go to for treatment later?"
…
This time, it took less time than the last time. There were still two hours before the sun rose. Louis and R separated near the cube. Louis asked the snake to take her back while he tried to figure out how to deal with the thing on his head.
It took half an hour to clean up, Louis breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his bedroom.
"Your Highness, can't you sleep again?"
Colin appeared silently behind him, and Louis hardly noticed.
He was startled. After experiencing the abnormality of Will, he began to examine the captain of the guards who had been following him.
Colin's face, which already had fine lines, seemed to be just worried, without any inquiry. However, Louis began to recall when Colin seemed to be looking at him more and more closely.
"I just drank too much water at night, Colin. You're old enough now, so you can take turns on duty with the others."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness, but I always feel uneasy about entrusting your safety to others."
Colin spoke seriously, which made Louis speechless for a moment. He had already told R that he would deal with Colin so that he could join the exploration team to explore the folded space.
But now it seems that the only way is to tell Colin that he is going back, so that he will not attract attention if he disappears for a few days.
But the prince's return was inevitably grand, and it was not easy to slip away under the eyes of so many people.
While he was racking his brains for a reason, Colin's expression became hesitant.
"Your Highness, I would like to apply for a seven-day leave. My mother sent me a message saying that my father's health is not good. If I don't go back now, I may not be able to see him for the last time."
"Is it serious? If you need a doctor, I'll go tell Mom."
Colin waved his hands hastily.
"No, that's not necessary. He has lived longer than most people, but his spirits are not very good and he can't hold on any longer. I have already made preparations. I will arrange the patrol work well. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
…
Lilith firmly rejected Qi Hanxing's attempt to stay overnight, and asked him to send a message before coming so as not to disturb her sleep. But when she really lay down on the bed, she couldn't sleep anymore.
The blood-stained report lay quietly in her pocket, but she didn't want to look at it for the moment.
Whether it's escaping or being cowardly, Lilith can no longer breathe. She just wants to pretend that she doesn't see it. She doesn't care about her true identity or the dual world, or the bomb locator. As long as she pretends to be ignorant, can't she live well?
Perhaps she shouldn't have joined the march in the first place. The fact that the Federation didn't find her at first meant that the locator couldn't accurately locate her within the Empire.
If she just hid in the slums, acted like an ordinary person, and found a job where she wouldn't see many people, she might be much safer than she is now.
Now, just upgrading and getting the bomb in the heart is already a headache. The people who should have been around the heroine are now clinging to her.
Lilith hadn't thought about Alice for a long time. Except for the time when Si Jue was injured, she had hardly ever seen her in the base.
According to the plot, the heroine should cooperate with the marching army to find the source of the pollution, expose the conspiracy of the Federation in one fell swoop, and become a hero of the empire.
But now, the abnormal things that caused it were concentrated on Lilith herself, as if this game world had unconsciously made her the protagonist.
Is this really okay? Isn't this stealing someone else's life?
Lilith rarely questions herself like this, because her goals are always clear and her will is strong enough.
Before she traveled through time, she was just a young girl who had just reached adulthood, hoping to finally escape the omnipresent malice and surveillance and prepare to embrace a new life.
But fate always seemed to like playing jokes on her. Time travel, fake daughters, spies, bionic people, whatever she feared, it would rush towards her.
She was now like standing in the middle of a barren land about to be flooded, running with all her might just to avoid being caught up by the tide.
But the barren land was full of jagged rocks, and she tried her best to avoid them but still got her feet scratched.
Don't be overtaken, don't be swallowed by the tide.
She was sure that if she continued to explore, she would be able to find the answer, but could she afford the price of knowing the answer?
"Okay... okay, if this is all I have to endure."
Lilith muttered to herself, her long, soft hair spreading out from the pillow like a sunflower.
The azure eyes slowly turned, staring directly at the chandelier above the head. The originally gentle light source, under the approach of the sight, cast one eye-sore halo after another.
"Whether chasing the light or being illuminated by it, I don't seem to be satisfied."
Lilith closed her eyes and gently placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heartbeat. It was steady and powerful, more than ever before, giving her a sense of vigorous vitality. However, this was followed by an increasingly severe feeling of rejection.
The body was eager to expel the discordant things, and the stronger the mental power, the more Lilith felt this.
The instinct of life made her escape from danger, even if she retreated,
This was the heart that Lilith had dug out and sewn back together. Even though this body had originally been hers, it completely belonged to her at the moment of rebirth.
Finding answers, solving problems, and eliminating all worries is the goal that Lilith has always pursued and is also her bottom line.
She stretched out her hand, as if to hold tightly to the swallowed time.
"Then...become the light."
