When someone died, the situation escalated to a very serious level. Normally, it was difficult to escape punishment, but she noticed that there was a key point that was not made clear.
Is this her subjective purpose?
Did she do this to facilitate this?
If she is really convicted, this subjective purpose will be an extremely important sentencing criterion. If she knew the consequences and still did it, she would definitely be sentenced heavily, but if she was unaware...
In other words, she did not reopen the Time Sea of Shuangshen Peak in order to influence Dongquan Island. She had other purposes, and this purpose might be... temporarily harmless to human civilization, so she could be exempted from most of the responsibilities.
Even if the purpose is noble, like Sanfeli's, and she practices it for a higher ideal, she might be recognized as having made a contribution.
After all, if we don’t count the dead, the Sea of Time itself is a major discovery.
That historical figure, what was his name? Diss something… Xia Yibing didn’t like the character he showed, but she agreed with what he said: A civilization that doesn’t know how to learn lessons from history will have no future.
Many things are like this, just like before electricity was discovered and could be used, thunderstorms were considered to be the wrath of the gods, and people did not dare to go out at all. Some people even believed that lightning and thunder were evil.
The same is true for the sea of time - maybe this is also a discovery or invention? Maybe the benefits it brings far outweigh the disadvantages?
Just think about it, if they could really control the sea of time stably and use it to reflect history, they would be able to trace back a lot of lost myths and scientific and technological technologies.
This is definitely a great achievement. Compared with this achievement, the death of a few people seems insignificant.
At least in Xia Yibing's understanding, Sara has always been a feudal country - she heard Aisuen say the word "feudal" and she roughly understood the meaning.
This is a country dominated by royal power...so in the end, whether or not to punish her depends on the monarch, right?
So things should not have fallen to the worst point. Xia Yibing quickly cheered up and prepared to listen to what the girl was going to say next with an extremely nervous and complicated mentality.
"She lied to me and wanted me to think that she was evil, the embodiment of evil. She wanted me to find a way to... expel her from my body, or even destroy her."
Hitzfeld looked out the window, his voice as low as ever.
It seemed like she said it easily, but Xia Yibing turned her eagle eyes and took a quick look. She saw that both of her hands on the table were clenched tightly. She felt sorry for her for breaking the pen.
"But how could I...? How could I ignore that that was my thought, too?"
"I found the copy of Travels in the South China Sea... Indeed, it was not hidden with the annotated copy, but was placed in a conspicuous place, and I picked it up easily."
"This is negligence! I think so... She should have had the opportunity to hide it. If I hadn't discovered her existence in advance and sealed her away, I would have discovered all this later... Of course, it is also possible that she deliberately let me discover it."
She began to talk to herself, and what she said was more of an outlet than an expression. Xia Yibing was completely confused and needed to analyze each word to understand the full meaning.
"I found out that she took action against the Twin God Peaks." The girl continued.
"Although I don't know how she did it... I'm still researching this process, but after I knew all this, I immediately realized why we should do this."
"That's selfish." She looked at Hei Xiao, and the expression on her face made Xia Yibing feel distressed and unfamiliar.
"The Sea of Time can trace back history. She - including me, we not only want to see Lendis reborn there, but also want to recreate the former manor through the Sea of Time and trace the truth behind our mother's disappearance."
That's why there's so much sadness around her.
Why was the sadness so strong that Raymond said "anyone can see it clearly".
That was her own desire.
Unconsciously, she wanted to do this. Her scattered consciousness received knowledge and became a mysterious master. She knew the possible consequences of doing so, so she deliberately deceived her true self, and all this was to make it easier to escape the crime!
She is a detective after all.
She was well versed in most criminal theories and had dealt with evildoers many times, so she knew very well how to protect herself and the reputation of "Ashun Hitzfeld" to the greatest extent possible.
The second Lilith-Gul cannot be tolerated or forgiven.
But Aisuen Hitzfeld is very different because her consciousness has never been torn apart. She was just bewitched in the process of verifying the new system. This is not a serious crime.
Even the things that researchers have done are much more serious than what is happening here.
According to Hitzfeld's own guess, the mysterious Lord - that is, her other self, has been carrying out her plans in an orderly manner after preparing all this.
This included living in seclusion, deceiving oneself, secretly traveling to contact aristocratic forces, and obtaining resources from them under the guise of Annual Rings.
It also included researching a new system - which seemed to be just a cover today, but she had not expected the research to progress so quickly, and to attract the attention of Nian Lun, Pusangsi and others so quickly that they visited in person and exposed the hidden dangers of the plan in advance.
But in fact, the plan should not have progressed so slowly.
It has been nearly a month and a half since she closed herself off and moved to the manor. With such a long time, the mysterious master can completely open the secret realm of time and liberate this phenomenon, allowing it to spread all over the world like it did in its heyday.
But she didn't end up doing that.
She forcibly stopped the plans and experiments.
Why is that...
It shouldn't be for myself.
Others may not understand or guess the reason behind this, but Hitzfeld knows it - the time when all plans were suspended corresponds to the time when Xia Yibing's letter arrived.
And that potion... She probably wanted to see through Black Owl's eyes how big the loopholes in her plan were... and how many casualties it had caused.
It's one thing to do.
She regretted it.
She realizes that she may have unwittingly released a demon.
So she turned around and cut ties with this side.
But how could she accept all this with peace of mind?
"fraud……"
Xia Yibing lay quietly on the bed, watching the girl's body trembling, tears silently flowing from her one eye.
"I am... a liar..."
Chapter 83: Tracing the Ming Dynasty
When was the last time you saw her cry?
Xia Yibing can no longer remember.
In her impression, the girl in front of her had always been a rather weak person. She had poor physical strength and knew almost no fighting skills. Apart from the recovery ability granted by the Devourer, the only thing worth mentioning about her was her appearance.
But she really seldom cried... This may sound hard to believe, because in an era when girls often regard crying as beauty - otherwise why would those pretentious men carry smelling salts in their arms - she can actually interpret strength with this appearance.
Xia Yibing certainly wouldn't include herself when she considered this. She knew that she was an outlier, and she had never intended to imitate any famous lady from the beginning.
But this did not prevent her from appreciating this kind of girl from the bottom of her heart. Her feelings for the girl began when she discovered her difference in this aspect. She was very sure that she preferred to get along with her more than those truly delicate and fragile noble ladies like delicate flowers.
Because of this, she always emphasized in her heart that Aisuen was very strong.
Because of this, when she actually saw her crying, she was so shocked that she became speechless and couldn't even lie on the bed and say anything to comfort her.
So she is...what does that mean?
Who is Coldis? The case file does not seem to mention this name.
But Aisuen admitted that she had a man named Leng Qing in the past. According to the name structure, Lengdis should be her father.
Could he be the "mechanical monster that controls black flames"?
Hitzfeld did not elaborate on this, but perhaps it was some mysterious coincidence, or perhaps it was the woman's excellent language talent - a certain sense of language - that allowed her to make a guess based on the above text, and she suddenly thought of this possibility.
This...if that Doctor Robot himself is her father, then everything seems to be explainable...
It was precisely because of this that she did not chase after him for revenge.
No... it's not that simple... When I read the case file, Leon wrote it very clearly. He said, "At the last moment, Dr. Mechanical's attack suddenly paused, allowing Bariu to pounce on him and knock him down. This gave Sheriff Rand the opportunity to shoot, and they killed him together."
Why did he pause? Could an evildoer of this level be killed so easily?
To be honest, if Xia Yibing wanted to find any suspicious points in this case, she would choose to start from this aspect.
As someone with extensive experience in fighting evildoers, she didn't believe that he could reach the level of Doctor of Mechanical - he could control mechanical materials to unfold into a mechanical kingdom on the rails. How could a person of this level be killed by Leon and his few wimps?
The weak can overcome the strong, but not in this way.
Although many people in the file report stated that "when they woke up, Dr. Mechanical had escaped from Asun Hitzfell, and he seemed to have been seriously injured in the battle with her."
This reason could convince Xia Yibing before, but not now.
Now that she had come up with this hypothesis, she felt that Hitzfeld did not have the ability to hurt Dr. Mechanical at the time, not to mention that it was clearly stated in the subsequent test report: she did not use the White Whale.
So it should be... Dr. Mechanical is seeking death on purpose?
Why, his attitude seemed to have changed drastically in a short period of time... The things that I had been unable to understand before seemed to no longer be a problem after substituting this assumption: What if he also discovered this incident at the last minute?
Is it possible that the person who actually killed Dr. Robotnik was Esun? And he deliberately gave her this opportunity?
After all, he is a mechanical body, and no one stipulates that the weak spot of that thing must be on his body.
It's too complicated, and too hopeless if that's the case.
Xia Yibing once thought that the despair she had experienced was already very deep, and it took her a long time... and she was comforted by her angel... before she recovered.
She couldn't even imagine the situation at that time - there was no one around Aisuen, she couldn't explain this to anyone, reality forced her to make a choice before accepting sadness and suffering, she had just found her relative and she had to kill him with her own hands.
"No wonder..." The woman gritted her teeth. The strength in her hands was so heavy that it almost tore the piece of cloth apart. No wonder she sank so suddenly.
She wouldn't call it hypocritical.
Even if she knew that Hitzfeld had never seen his parents from birth to about the age of 17, and theoretically had no relationship with them, she would not think so.
This is not the collapse of family affection, because family affection has never existed.
But it was the collapse of hope - she lost her yearning for a certain kind of life.
Everyone has a paradise in his heart.
Whether they are slaves, vagrants or prostitutes, although they live in a dark world, they have a temple of light in their hearts.
This is what Shadow Lion Agent taught in the seventh psychotherapy lesson, teaching them to "build a paradise" in their hearts so that no matter how despair they experience, they can still have hope, "as long as that paradise exists, they will not fall."
The woman herself felt deeply touched, as if she had been awakened by nightmares countless nights. The reason why the dream always scared her was that in the first half of the dream, she always saw herself and her family living happily together.
It was certainly a contrast, and she admitted that she almost couldn't hold on.
But after the appearance of Aisuen, it changed, and the nightmare began to have a third part, which was the paradise she imagined, and Hitzfeld was also in it.
She could understand that kind of yearning. She felt that even though Hitzfeld had never spoken about it or expressed this yearning, she had actually fantasized about having a family like a normal person.
But she killed this fantasy and hope with her own hands.
That kind of deep despair.
Sorrow that descended from the endless abyss.
The fact that she didn't become a nightmare egg sheath right away was enough to show how good she was.
"Aisun..."
Xia Yibing felt like she had ten thousand words she wanted to say right now.
She wanted to comfort her angel, just like how he had comforted her in the past, but the distance between them was too far, and she couldn't even use Black Owl's body to speak.
"Gah..."
Under her control, the Borean Sea Eagle crawled down, only raising its head to rub and peck the girl's fingers with its head and mouth.
This is all she can do.
"Have you guessed who he is?"
Hitzfeld looked up hazily, put down his pen and wiped his eyes.
"No problem... In fact, I just came to terms with it a while ago."
"It's just that I really didn't expect this ending, this truth... I couldn't even set up a target to shoot at... All of this was out of my selfishness."
No.
The woman immediately retorted in her heart.
Although Hitzfeld's first goal was to open the sea of time to trace something back, how could her objective behavior of establishing a new system be classified as selfish?
There are also many scholars whose purpose of research is fame and fortune. When they really achieve something and use that achievement to benefit society, can it be said that they are also acting out of selfishness?
unable.
Her sin was not as serious as she thought.
Knowing everything, Xia Yibing is not anxious anymore. Hitzfeld may not have thought of this, but from the perspective of the head of the Department of Homeland Security, this matter... or this case, has indeed ushered in a new turning point.
In other words, Aisuen didn't know in advance that the spiritual sea of Dongquan Island was special.
