...

Ye Fei hugged Yuna's torso and ran towards the auditorium.

He ran very fast, surrounded by passing wind, and Yuna's red dress fluttered beside him like a drifting flower.

Ye Fei didn't know what the dark shadow floating out of Yuna's room was, but when he looked at it, he always had a terrifying sense of familiarity.

He couldn't remember exactly where he was familiar with, and he didn't have time to think about it.

He ran from the fourth floor to the rose auditorium, pushed open the door of the auditorium, stepped over the white candles, and placed Yuna's body on the rose petals.

After a faint halo, what lay on the rose petals was no longer a severed limb, but Yuna's pale corpse.

"Rose Manor main task progress: 6/7"

"Miss Yuna likes the story of Aphrodite and the red rose"

The hint given by the narration this time is very brief, but also very clear.

Aphrodite...

Ye Fei raised her eyes and looked at the statue of Aphrodite in front of the auditorium.

For a moment, he seemed to hear the beating of someone's heart.

Boom, boom, boom.

Ye Fei narrowed her eyes slightly.

The pure white Aphrodite stood in the darkness, her body was covered with candles and the surrounding stained glass windows reflected soft light.

Ye Fei raised her head, stood among the roses and looked at her from afar.

In the empty auditorium, the candlelight flickered, causing the light and shadow on Aphrodite to shake slightly.

But suddenly for a moment, time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The swaying shadow on Aphrodite froze, and the candlelight at Ye Fei's feet also stopped in the previous position.

The world seems to be a frozen picture, only the heartbeat of someone next to Ye Fei's ear becomes clearer.

Boom, boom, boom.

Ye Fei took a step forward, trying to find the source of the heartbeat.

But when he took a step, what he stepped on was not a solid ground.

At that moment, the surrounding scene instantly turned into nothingness, Ye Fei lost all five senses, and she seemed to fall into the boundless darkness.

When his world had light again, he was no longer where he was.

Ye Fei froze for a moment.

He seems to be standing on a very high place, at the very front of the auditorium, overlooking the space.And there were no candles or roses on the ground of the auditorium in front of him, only Yuna standing alone.

Entered Yuna's memory again?

Ye Fei was slightly puzzled.

But shouldn't the memory be opened after he finds the heart?And in the past few times, he has never had such a sudden change of position and angle of view.

So what's the matter now?where is he?

Ye Fei's mind went blank for a moment, and then she realized that the perspective he had seemed to belong to Aphrodite in the auditorium.

Because he couldn't move, and couldn't see his appearance, no matter how hard he tried, he could only look at the world in front of him with Aphrodite's eyes.

At this time, Yuna stood in the middle of the auditorium, she raised her head, and looked at Ye Fei, or Aphrodite from a distance.

Her expression was a little blank, different from before, she didn't wear her favorite red today, she was wearing a plain white long dress.

Yuna looked at Aphrodite in the auditorium, a little lost in thought.

After a long time, she seemed to want to take a few steps forward, but before taking half a step, there was a heavy sound belonging to the solid wooden door behind her.

Yuna lowered her eyes slightly and regained her senses.

she asked:

"You came?"

"...Ah, here we come."

Lin Huai stood behind her, seemingly at a loss, and didn't step forward.

"come over."

Yuna sighed and turned to face Lin Huai.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely heavy and silent. Yuna looked directly at Lin Huai who was opposite. She didn't try to keep her secret, but asked straightforwardly:

"Lin Huai, you came to kill me, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Huai opened his eyes slightly, and froze in place.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. After a while, he could only ask in a hoarse voice:

"How do you...?"

"how could I know?"

Yuna's tone was very calm, as if she wasn't surprised by it at all.

She did not explain directly, but said otherwise:

"I also know that you have been in contact with that person all the time. It's now, you don't have to hide it from me, just tell me, did you do it on purpose when you appeared at the gate of Rose Manor? You deliberately approached me from the beginning, because this is the task that the person entrusted to you? Does the content of the task require you to approach me deliberately, and then finally stab me in the back, making me feel the pain of being betrayed?"

Yuna spoke quickly, she questioned Lin Huai, and Lin Huai's expression gradually changed from shock at the beginning to solemn.

He seemed a little surprised, but soon, he put away those surprised looks and shook his head:

"I didn't lie to you. I am indeed a homeless man. Your guess is also correct. I have been in contact with that person from the beginning. Getting close to you is the task that he gave me."

Yuna is not angry when the speculation is confirmed.

Instead, she looked thoughtful:

"But why?"

Yuna murmured:

"How could he know what I was going to do? Why did he plant variables around me so early in advance? I thought I wouldn't follow in their footsteps, I thought I was careful enough..."

"... Yuna."

Lin Huai's eyes were full of sadness that was so intense that it was about to become real, he interrupted her.

The light in his eyes trembled slightly, and after a while, he said:

"At the beginning, his original words were that the war would soon spread to Yuna's city, and she would definitely not be able to help but do something to keep the peace, and she would definitely be able to do it. What I have to do isMonitor your every move, record your behavior, pass on intelligence when appropriate, and that's it."

Yuna was slightly taken aback.

Lin Huai took a deep breath and continued:

"Don't you understand yet? You thought you were careful enough, you thought you escaped his grasp, but the truth is, Yuna, the whole city you're in is a testing ground he prepared for you, and everything that happened here, Everything you see is under his control. The power of the supernatural rebel army was deliberately attracted to City A by him, and the indiscriminate bombing was also ordered by him. All he has to do is to start a war. He wants to letYou have to face this, he will completely push ordinary people and supernatural beings into opposing positions!"

Yuna's expression was blank for a moment.

She was quiet for a long time, and then, she suddenly laughed.

At first, she just smiled softly, suppressing her voice, but in the end, she bent down and clutched her abdomen, her hysterical laughter was full of sadness and helplessness.

In the end, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice was slightly hoarse.

she asked:

"Do you know Lin Huai? My friends and I have been imprisoned for as long as we can remember. Some of us were coerced, some were abused, and sometimes we finally got free. We finally got to see the outside world, but we couldn't.To tell if that will be a new round of experiments and games for the people behind the scenes.

"For example, I have a friend, his name is Lu Zhancheng. He was sent to Yunhe Fifth Training Camp 20 years ago. In the experimental field prepared for him by that person, he walked the fate that was arranged by others., and foolishly regarded the anchor character that person prepared for him as a friend, as expected, and later, he was severely betrayed.

"At that time, I still laughed at him for being stupid. I was thinking, if it were me, I would definitely be able to discern the man's schemes and tricks, and I would definitely not be fooled by him.

"Thank you, Lin Huai, otherwise, maybe until the end, I would not have discovered that everything I did was still in his plan. The free world I thought was just a bigger game area he drew for me.Maybe the fate of the experimental sample is like this, he can't escape, I can't escape, and everyone can't escape."

Yuna shook her head, she said something Lin Huai didn't understand, her face turned pale.

She looked at Lin Huai:

"Lin Huai, go and complete your mission. You can do whatever you want. I won't play this game anymore."

"No..." Lin Huai looked a little anxious.

He shook his head:

"Yuna, I didn't come here to tell you these things today. What I want to tell you is that I defected, and I will not do anything for him from today on."

Yuna froze for a moment, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

Lin Huai immediately said:

"Come with me, Yuna, the cage you can't escape from, I will take you to escape. You don't have to worry about the life and death of this world, it's good to escape for a lifetime, you don't need to be controlled by him anymore, you can be truly free."

Lin Huai's voice echoed in the empty auditorium, causing Yuna's eyes to slightly widen.

But she didn't respond. After a long while, she slightly bent her lips:

"Do you really regard me as a friend? Lin Huai."

Lin Huai's eyes moved, as if he wanted to say something.

But he looked into Yuna's amber eyes, opened his mouth, and swallowed what he wanted to say.

He curled his fingers slightly, and finally just nodded:

"Well, Yuna, we're friends."

"Then you do something for me?"

Yuna lowered her head to take off her bracelet, pressed out the blade hidden in the mechanism of the bracelet, and made a slash on her palm.

The hideous wound slowly climbed onto her palm, and the blood beads gushing out from the wound floated in the air, slowly solidified, and finally turned into a dark red knife.

Yuna's ability is called "Blood Thorn", in simple terms, it is to control blood.

She can give her blood any shape, including temperature, shape, and way of being.

Now, she made a knife out of her own blood.

Holding the knife in her hand, she took out another injection from the pocket of her long skirt, and injected it into her own neck without hesitation.

The pain from the long needle piercing made her frown slightly, then she threw away the needle, walked to Lin Huai, and handed Lin Huai the knife in her hand.

She looked up at him with a cold expression:

"kill me."

Lin Huai shook his hand and almost threw the knife on the ground:

"you……?"

"Lin Huai, I can't escape."

Yuna's tone was exceptionally calm, as if she had made such a plan long ago:

"I can't just live alone, that would be too selfish. I can escape for a while, but I can't escape forever. I still have companions, and I can't just watch them continue to suffer. You killed me, no, killing me is not enough,You'll have to dismantle my corpse and hide them in different places, as far apart as possible."

Lin Huai seemed a little confused, and asked:

"Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm calm. You've been by my side for so many years, you should know that Yuna will never make a wrong decision, right?"

Yuna smiled lightly, as if mocking herself:

"Oh, I was wrong once. Thinking about it now, you are right, Lin Huai. The process of history has its own arrangements, and no one can stop it or change it. For me, death is the only relief."

The two stood in the empty auditorium, standing under Aphrodite's gaze, for a long, long time.

In the end, in front of Aphrodite, Yuna's white dress was stained red with blood, her blood spread all over the ground, and finally dark red roses bloomed.

Lin Huai's face and body were splashed with Yuna's blood. He waved the knife numbly, but later, his expression showed signs of breaking.

Tears mixed with the blood on his face, and he turned Yuna into broken corpses all over the place with his own hands.

"……sorry."

With trembling lips, Lin Huai said in a low voice:

"sorry."

He kept repeating these three words.

Lin Huai is an ordinary man in science and engineering. After the war began, his home and city were bombed into ruins.

He is a supernatural being, and the K country government is unwilling to rescue him, and he is unwilling to join that supernatural rebel army. He just wants to live a stable life, so he started his own wandering.

Later, he fled to city A, but was taken away by the guards because he entered the city illegally that night.But instead of locking him up, the guards took him to meet someone.

It was a man who looked very elegant and gentle. He said that he could give Lin Huai enough money and shelter, as long as he did one thing for himself.

Lin Huai didn't think too much about it, he was just being an undercover agent, not murder or arson.

At that time, the man told him that the people Lin Huai was going to monitor would one day change the status quo of this country. Lin Huai didn't quite believe it until he was in the piano room and heard Yuna say that he would createThird-party organizations say they want to change the world and want peace.

Lin Huai panicked.

Everything was going in the direction that the man said, and he found that what he was doing seemed to be not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Why does this man care so much about Yuna?Why does he know everything about Yuna?Why did he know war was coming?Why does he know Yuna will definitely keep the peace?

Is it because he has the ability to predict the future, or is it all under his control and calculation?

Lin Huai was scared.

Later he thought, in fact, at that time, he could tell Yuna his identity and purpose, but he chose to remain silent.

He still followed Yuna, helping her create the Peace Guild, and helping her turn her ideas into reality bit by bit.Later he discovered that this woman was not just talking, she was confident and powerful, and indeed had the power to change the war, but Lin Huai knew that everything she did was destined to have no end.

Because one day, someone will destroy everything about her with his own hands.

He suddenly didn't want to continue working for that person.

Later, at the ball in the Rose Manor, he saw the man again, and he said that he didn't want to continue, he wanted to quit, he wanted the peace brought by Yuna, and he didn't want any changes in all of this.

Still later, he intentionally let Yuna find himself in contact with that person, he thought Yuna would chase him away and question him, but she didn't, nothing seemed to change, or it was all just the calm before the storm, they were all waitingThe day it really exploded.

To this day, the two of them are actually standing here and chatting about it.Lin Huai thought for a long time, he wanted to take Yuna out of here, and wanted her to escape the fate of being manipulated by that man.

But even if the sun would burn her to ashes, the rose would not hide in the shadows.

She ended up with this ending.

Lin Huai had countless opportunities to tell her the truth, but he always chose to remain silent for various reasons.

As for Yuna's final choice, he felt that he should not refuse, so he personally turned Yuna into pieces, and said sorry over and over again to her who had long been deaf.

Seeing all this, Ye Fei gradually felt it was difficult to breathe.

Later, the sky seemed to be getting late, and the picture in front of me darkened, and finally turned into a boundless darkness.

In the nothingness, only the roses of Yuna's blood and her broken body remained.

Ye Fei stood in the distance, watching everything from a distance, until a beam of light broke into his eyes.

He saw a girl in a white dress walking out of the darkness.

The girl was as white as snow, her white hair was loose, and she walked to Yuna's bare feet.

"It's hard work."

Ling knelt on the ground.

She reached out and took Yuna's head in her arms.

Yuna's black hair wrapped around her snow-white arms and skirt, and the blood on her body dyed Ling Yi red.

Ling gently touched her face and closed her eyes.

Yuna's blood fell on Ling's body, and red roses bloomed.

"Have a good rest."

"Good night, Miss Yuna."
