This was not her subjective will that influenced her judgment. This matter was also a relatively confidential information. It was first revealed to her through correspondence between the two of them, which had a traceable carrier and evidence.
Even if the worst happened, she wouldn't be executed... It's not impossible to remedy this.
Xia Yibing is also very conflicted now.
She once again experienced the difficulty of making a choice between justice and personal feelings. The first time she lost control and was bewitched, and this second time she didn't want to be bewitched again.
But then wouldn't it be me who would judge her...
She remembered what the girl had asked her before.
But... this should also have troubled her.
Doctor Mechanic...
In the undisturbed carriage, she once stood alone holding the scales of judgment, one end of which was justice and the other was personal feelings.
Now the ending I've seen has made it clear who she chose.
Then I can't let her down...
Chapter 84: Heart to Heart
The next second after this thought came to her mind, Xia Yibing began to feel dizzy.
Damn it.
She silently cursed in her heart - it was time to start "seeing the same thing".
This kind of long-distance mysterious connection consumes a lot of extra energy. She calculated when the Black Owl would fly to the manor before activating the "same vision", but in fact a little time was wasted because Hitzfeld happened to be out today.
She didn't come back until the afternoon, and by the time she discovered this with the help of Black Owl's eyes and went to the door, she didn't have much time left.
"Gaga! Gaga~"
The mysterious disappearance was also reflected in the black owl, which quickly showed more animality and was no longer so quiet. Instead, it stood up and lowered its head from time to time to preen its feathers.
"Your time is almost up." Hitzfeld smiled. "That's great. At least now that you understand this, I won't have any regrets."
What does she mean by telling me this?
Xia Yibing's hair was about to stand on end.
Why does it sound like she wants to do something bad?
"I won't degrade myself." Hitzfeld was like a worm in her stomach, and immediately retorted: "I'm not a child anymore... I'm sure I should pay the price for my evil deeds, but before that I have to find a way to make amends."
"The mysterious master is me. I am the mysterious master... I will try to communicate with her again. There should be some solutions in that knowledge."
"Don't worry about me. Don't worry too much." She reached out and stroked Black Owl's head.
"I have given so much and carried so many sacrifices."
“…I can’t allow myself to die.”
Xia Yibing suddenly opened her eyes.
She lost connection with that side.
She immediately sat up and tried to move around, then she might go crazy and try to grab someone else's "messenger" to send a message to herself, but as soon as she sat up, she felt dizzy and fell down again unconsciously.
Ah...it seems that I have overdrawn my spirit too seriously.
Even when she leaned on the pillow and looked at the ceiling, she could feel the wood grain moving. Xia Yibing found it too uncomfortable to look at, so she could only close her eyes again.
It shouldn't have been so serious, but Hitzfeld's last words... her attitude towards "life" were so important to her that she had to listen to them even if she had to overdraw her energy.
So far the results look good.
Xia Yibing could accept this result. She had figured out the cause of the incident, as well as the process... Aisuen's description was a bit confusing, but she had divided the time periods while listening, so she could basically deduce the whole story.
In her opinion, the case was clear and straightforward.
The suspect, Aisuen Hitzfeld, split into another emotional consciousness due to the trauma she experienced in the previous case. This consciousness is the embodiment of her remaining yearning for the thing she destroyed with her own hands.
She - let's call this consciousness that, she used the time when Aisuen Hitzfeld lived alone to do a lot of things. This may be because she read the book "Notes on the South Sea Travel Notes" and discovered that there are mother rivers and time seas in the world.
Well...actually, it is possible that Aisuen read it herself. In the process of understanding the Sea of Time, she realized that hope was not completely dead. If she restarted the Sea of Time, she might be able to recreate paradise and at least see her relatives again.
Headache.
Thinking of this, Xia Yibing felt that she still knew too little about the girl.
For example, she could only guess that Coldis was her father. If Hitzfeld had other purposes for opening the Sea of Time, she could only assume that she missed her relatives.
In short - perhaps it was because of this understanding that Aisuen truly tore out that consciousness, and she used that consciousness to carry out a series of actions, including restarting the magic of the Twin God Peaks and taking advantage of those foolish nobles.
Thinking of this, the woman's mouth curled up slightly.
Although Hitzfeld herself was responsible here, she really shouldn't have come into contact with those people.
But if they hadn't sent mastiffs to keep an eye on her, how could she have reached him so easily?
So the nobles of Port Wayne are blessed.
They don't know yet that they have been hated by the biggest head of the secret police.
"She opened the Twin God Peaks, causing changes in the Spiritual Sea of Dongquan Island."
She said to herself with her eyes closed.
"This may be because... the Spiritual Sea of Dongquan Island was originally the predecessor of the Time Sea, and the Time Seas of the world actually return to a secret realm. No matter how far apart they are in the real world or in terms of geographical factors, they are essentially one."
"That is to say, 'There is only one spiritual sea in the world'. The changes in the Twin God Peaks will definitely affect this place."
It is still unclear whether the restart of the Sea of Time is good or bad, but its byproducts - the wandering spirits that are well nourished in it - are indeed a major threat.
"They weren't that threatening."
She arched her pillow.
Damn Nachimore...
It must be her... the last ritual she arranged, or the 'Spirit Sea Virus' she was studying reacted with those things and created a new monster like the "Corrupted Blood".
It was after Aisuen realized the disastrous consequences that he stopped all actions.
This idiot, even his determination is so weak...
Xia Yibing was moving back and forth on the bed.
She should obviously immerse herself in consciousness and have a good sleep, and take care of everything when she wakes up, but now she can't help thinking about these things.
She has decided to stand on the side of justice.
But she didn't want to lose her affair, so she had to think of how to exonerate the girl.
The main contradiction now objectively is the Corrupted Blood.
She thought so.
The threat from the Sea of Time is uncertain, the only obvious threat is the Corrupted Blood.
As long as they could be dealt with somehow, Aisuen would be almost guiltless.
Then the key may lie in the next eternal night.
Thinking of this, the woman felt embarrassed.
Because she found that even though she understood everything, she didn't have any effective way to counter those monsters.
Do I have to rely on her in the end?
This is not what I want to see...
Someone fell asleep with melancholy in his heart, while on the other side, the girl at the table was taking off her blindfold.
She tore off the cloth completely, picked up the pen again and wrote on the paper:
[So do you have anything to add?]
After a while, he started another line with his right hand and wrote below this line of characters:
[No. ]
Hitzfeld grinned.
[It was you who induced me to see a doctor through the advice of others. You wanted me to follow that line of thought to find the 'abnormality', that is, the 'abnormality' between you and me. It seems that I love her more than you do...]
This time the other person didn't respond, as if she didn't know what to say.
"You wouldn't do that," Hitzfeld continued, "You know I would protect her... You're just using that to mislead me."
[This is not the most ideal ending.] Another Hitzfeld wrote, [According to my plan, you would not become a criminal, and Xia would not have to worry about anything, but you found the book anyway. You don’t have to think that way.]
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would sacrifice others for my own benefit?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to communicate, Hitzfeld stopped using the pen and completely gave up his right hand.
"You want me to watch you bear all this? I made this mistake once, and I'm sure I won't make it again."
[It doesn't make sense.]
[This is not something you should be thinking about right now...]
"If I'm not mistaken." The girl interrupted her before she finished writing, "You're not tinkering with the new system just to use it as a cover."
The pen paused.
This time the other party fell silent again.
"You want to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the establishment of a new system. I won't allow this."
Hitzfeld told her.
"I am me, and you are me too."
"I won't allow myself to die, and I won't allow you to die either."
"We are all Aisun Hitzfeld. We may be separated today, but I will find a way to make us one again."
[But that would be at the expense of others.]
The mysterious Lord wrote these words.
[I don't remember when I became so selfish...]
“It’s not selfish.”
She was interrupted again.
"I have to thank you for opening the sea of time and allowing me to see those things."
"The history, the people, the disasters... the long time condensed into a beam. These sufferings, my personal sufferings, are like dust in front of it."
"That in itself is great enough, isn't it? The establishment of a new system does not require such sacrifices."
“If it’s needed, then maybe it shouldn’t exist.”
Chapter 85 Touched
Walnut was waiting for news from above. She counted the time and made sure that it was two hours before Hitzfeld contacted her and asked her to prepare some food.
Pinocchio immediately ran to the kitchen - there was a big pot on the stove, filled with fresh chopped green onion and beef bone soup. The bright red oil was emitting wisps of hot steam, and just seeing the scene would make one hungry, let alone smelling it.
Hitzfeld was no exception. She finished the meal with admiration, and deliberately left some meat for Black Owl. Then she took off the small cylinder on Black Owl's leg in front of Walnut.
Xia Yibing knew that Black Owl couldn't speak, so she certainly couldn't send this big bird on a futile trip, and she also brought a letter with her.
In addition to the usual concern, the letter also contained the worsening situation on Dongquan Island. Hitzfeld read the letter calmly and turned to Walnut: "Did you buy beef?"
"Yes."
“Did you buy it normally or through other channels?”
"I bought it normally." Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and quickly added: "It's not the kind of working cattle. It is said that it is beef cattle specially raised in the farm."
She knew why Hitzfeld asked this question - even though there are cars in many places now, there are still a lot of farmlands that need to be cultivated by cattle and mules.
Sara's geographical environment is quite good. There is a large fertile plain in the east of the central part, which is an excellent grain-producing land. The climate there is mild and the soil is glutinous and moist, so the seeds do not need to be sown too deep, and sometimes horses can replace farming.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the status of cattle is not as high as in some small countries. There are even farms raising beef cattle in the country, which are exclusively for the enjoyment of some nobles.
The owner of the body still cares about these things...?
