We caught up with Rose ten minutes later.
Katherine hastily removed her hand from mine as soon as we found Rose. He was still too embarrassed to show others our now very close relationship.
Even so, the shy red hue on his face betrayed him. Fortunately, Rose was not in the mood to notice him, so she did not see anything wrong.
Rose's expression was very sad. In fact, he looked worse than when we started the mission today.
However, I'm not worried.I know that Rose is already shaken for today's event.
Even if he doesn't admit it, in his heart he knows I'm right.
It's just that he can't admit it easily.
Therefore, Rose could not see me.
Actually, the situation back then wasn't as bad as it seemed. Even if I don't act, neither Rose nor the children will be in danger.
Rose is a hero, she is under the protection of the world. How could such a weak monster kill him?
Actually, by the time I acted, I felt that there were at least two other people ready to move forward.
One of them was Evelyn, her teacher, and the other was the twelve outer layer practitioner beside her.
Yeah, it's one of the hero plots.
And I'm sure even without them, the world will find another way to protect Rose.
Heroes are the favorite children of the world. So in this world, it was almost impossible to kill Rose.
Not even a god could do such a thing.
In fact, the gods are shackled by the rules of the world.I consider gods nothing more than watchdogs/guardians who guard the house.
And if the world is the owner of that house, the hero is like his son. No owner would let his guard dog hurt his child. And if that guard tries to do it, the end will not be good.
Although the analogy was not entirely accurate, it perfectly illustrated the position of the gods.
From a certain point of view, the gods were even more helpless than humans in terms of dealing with a hero.
So, if you want to deal with a hero, you must be strong enough to go against the will of the world.
Like Ysnay or me.
Going back to the topic, although Rose wouldn't be in danger even if I didn't protect her, Rose didn't know about it.
It's not like he himself knows he's a hero.
Thus, this incident was a huge blow to him.
It shows her that her naive ideals can sometimes hurt those close to her.
It showed him the helplessness of not having enough strength to protect his ideals and those around him at the same time.
If I'm not mistaken, after Rose overcame this hurdle, she'll have a crazy period of improvement.
However, first of all, he had to overcome this mental barrier.
Back to the mission, we focused on capturing the other people on the list.
Since I have already reached my goal, I am not messing around with the seeds of the remaining people. But even without my intervention, some infected people tried to fight back when we caught them.
On this occasion, Katherine and I moved to neutralize them (Although we did not kill anyone this time).
In the end, we caught 21 of the 22 people on our list.
Everyone we arrested was sent to the institute. There, several teachers in the eleventh and twelfth layers examined their souls to make sure they had seeds in them.
Every minute, people from every corner of the city were arrested and sent to the institute. Thousands of people were sent like that.
At first, some teachers hoped not everyone was infected. But soon, that hope turned into a sense of terror.
Everyone Alice pointed to was infected.
When we returned to the academy in the afternoon, Evelyn, Dina, Alice, and the others looked at the people who were caught with grim expressions.
No one answered it. They are not sure what to do in this situation.
None of them knew how to bring out the seed in their minds.
Maybe the only two people in the institute who can extract that seed are Ysnay and me.
But things like that are exhausting even for me.
I'm gonna need about a whole day to save them all.
Amidst that heavy silence, Dina sighed.
“... I'm thinking of holding them for now. At least until we find a better solution.”
“It's not that simple.” Evelyn shook her head. “Where will we find cells to lock them all up. Plus, these prisoners need to be fed every day. Where are we going to get the money for their food? And even if we get that money, how long can we continue to provide food for them.”
Dina speechless. He looked at me as if asking for help.
I let out a breath. Looks like I have to save them.
… I don't want my sister to bear the burden of ordering the death of more than two thousand people, some of them completely innocent.
Their only sin is that they are unfortunate enough to be used by the Eternal.
As if reading my mind, someone laughed.
“What are you hesitating for? you just have to kill them. ”
These words surprised the group. Instantly, everyone looked to the source of the voice.
Yasnay.
Ysnay looked indifferent to their gazes. He looked at the infected crowd and chuckled.
"If you really care about the people in this world, you have to kill them."
After Ysnay said these words.
"You're crazy!?" Rose scolded angrily. “They are two thousand people! Many of them are innocent! How can we kill them!?”
No one else spoke up, but everyone seemed to share their feelings with Rose. In fact, the gazes they directed at Ysnay turned out to be unfriendly.
If it wasn't for Ysnay being my personal servant, I'm sure many people here would have reacted much worse.
After all, every person here could be considered as someone virtuous. They could not just kill these two thousand people.
Their consciousness would not allow such a thing.
Ysnay turned her gaze to each of them. Finally, he set his eyes on me.
I hesitated a little, but in the end, I nodded.
When he saw that, Ysnay laughed.
"You're being naive."
Then, he grabbed Alice's hand.
“It looks like you guys still don't know what you're up against. Allow me to show you. ”
Almost instantly, thousands of threads came out of Alice's body, connecting to every infected person in the institute.
But it's not the end. After which, tens of thousands of threads came out from Alice's body.
Later, this thread extended throughout the capital.
Dogs, cats, cows, rats, birds, and even insects.
The thread was connected to tens of thousands of such animals.
With a small laugh, Ysnay's voice reached everyone around.
"This is a seed in the capital alone."
