Chapter 798

"What do you mean?" Lin Yu asked.

"It's a vow." Xia Die closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "It's a vow that uses one's soul as collateral. Once it's spoken, the entire soul will be shattered. It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but she can't say it."

Lin Yu's heart trembled.

It turned out to be the case.

The mayor said she "knew the secret", the Star Track Council was wary of her, and the people of Tianxing City wanted to kill her to silence her, but she would rather die twice with the secret than break her oath...

Is this secret so heavy that it can crush the soul?

"Look at this." Dan Heng suddenly handed over a piece of paper. It was half of a diary that he had found in the mayor's arms. The edge of the paper had been curled up by the fire.

"The last few lines seem to be talking about her."

Lin Yu took it and looked at it.

"The 'Border Keeper' is in the bakery... She recognized the 'old emblem'... She must be there before the 'messenger' arrives..." The rest of the words were burned away, leaving only a few charred holes.

"Boundary Guardian?" Sanyueqi came closer. "Are you talking about that sister? She's been in the town all the time. Does that count as a 'boundary guard'?"

Lin Yu's eyes fell on the three words "old emblem".

The tattoo on the mayor's collarbone, the patterns on the Tianxingcheng trainer's uniform, and even the inconspicuous embroidery in the corner of my sister's apron...

The patterns vaguely resemble the same outline.

"It seems I have to go to Black Stone City." Lin Yu folded the diary and stuffed it into his arms.

"Tianxing City's headquarters is there, and the Xinggui Council's lair is also hidden nearby. All clues point there, including the secrets she is guarding."

He looked toward the wheat field, and the wind blew the scorched wheat awns past his feet.

"She can't tell us, so we'll find it ourselves."

"But whether she is a 'Guardian' or an ordinary resident, we will protect the town and the Pokémon she protects."

Sai Feier patted his back and said, "I love hearing that. When we find the truth, I'll tell her. That blow won't be in vain."

The wind gradually grew stronger, making the broken wood on the ruins rustle, as if someone was urging them to set off.

Lin Yu took one last look at the ruins of the bakery, turned around and said, "Pack up your things and leave in an hour."

"What about these people?" March Seven's voice was hesitant, and she pointed at the trainer who was tied under a big tree.

Those people were still cursing under their breath. Some tried to struggle, but were strangled even tighter by the vines. The hideous expressions on their faces were exactly the same as when they massacred the townspeople not long ago.

"killed."

"Kill...kill?" March Seven opened his eyes wide.

She could hardly believe her ears, and subconsciously looked at Ji Zi and Walter, her eyes full of shock as if to ask, "Did I hear it wrong?"

Ji Zi leaned against the wreckage, and upon hearing this, she just sighed slowly and nodded towards March Seven.

The trainers' uniforms were still stained with the blood of the residents, and the burnt smell of dragon's breath had not yet dissipated. Some things cannot be tolerated with softness.

Walter also nodded slightly. He could control gravity. As long as he wanted, he could make those people disappear silently.

He had seen too many disasters caused by "kindness", and the girl's death had made him understand.

Being lenient to the executioner is being cruel to the deceased.

March 7 opened his mouth, wanting to say, "They have been caught," and wanted to say, "Maybe we can get more information from them."

But when the words came to his lips, they were blocked by the sob in his throat.

She thought of the residents who were burned to charcoal by the dragon's breath, the cries of the curled-eared rabbit before its death, and the last blurred pupils of Sister Xingmei.

Those images pierced her heart like needles, making her unable to say the words "let them go" anymore.

"I'll do it." Saifeier walked forward, and with a "click" the short blade popped out, the cold light reflecting on her cold face.

"You don't have to do this kind of dirty work."

Lin Yu did not stop him.

He simply turned and walked away, beginning to check the equipment everyone was carrying.

This is the equipment box brought down by the Snow Crow sisters.

They did not get off the car this time, saying they wanted to go back to Xianzhou to take a look.

During the three years that Lin Yu was away, the two of them were no longer wanted by the Ten Kings Division.

When they returned to the immortal boat, the people from the Ten Kings Division envied their own "freedom"

The green light of Lin Yu's rich destiny flashed across his fingertips, not for healing, but condensed into a tiny sharp edge.

He was adjusting his energy output to ensure that he would not miss any opportunity due to any hesitation on the way forward.

The trainer under the tree seemed to sense the danger, and his curses turned into pleas for mercy.

"Don't kill me! I'm just following orders!"

"The top brass of Tianxing City are the mastermind! I know their secret!"

"Let me go, and I'll tell you everything!"

Sai Feier did not pause.

The moment the blade fell, she closed her eyes and didn't look at those terrified faces.

Not because of fear, but because there is no need.

Any emotion is unnecessary for these people with blood on their hands.

When the vines loosened, several bodies fell silently to the ground and were quickly buried by the ashes blown by the wind, as if they had never existed.

San Yueqi turned her head away, not daring to look again, but she felt someone gently patting her shoulder.

It was Xiadie, and there was a hint of compassion in her pupils.

"Life and death are part of the cycle of reincarnation. They just paid off their debt in advance."

"But.."

"Aren't we the same as them?"

"It's different." Lin Yu's voice came.

"They come to plunder and kill, we come to comfort and protect. This is not revenge, it's a reckoning."

His eyes swept over everyone and finally landed in the direction of Blackrock City.

"Tianxing City won't stop just because we killed a few trainers. Their 'Purification Plan' is still going on. More Pokémon will be transformed into weapons, and more towns will be massacred."

"Also, you've gone through the so-called 'transformation', but your mind is still like that of a child." Lin Yu frowned.

"I just think... I think there could be other ways... They've already been caught, why do they have to be killed..."

"Because there is no other way." Ji Zi came over, her tone gentler than Lin Yu.

"These people have the blood of at least twenty residents on their hands, who were burned alive by them."

"Are you keeping them here, hoping to wait for Tianxing City to send someone to rescue them, so they can go back and massacre more people? Or are you waiting for them to use sweet words to trick you into untying them, and then stab you in the back?"

"On the battlefield, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to your comrades."

"March, we understand your reluctance, but some choices cannot be made with hesitation."

San Yueqi's shoulders slumped slightly, his fingers loosened and clenched, and finally he responded in a low voice.

"I see.."

She raised her head, her eyes still a little red, and her voice was filled with confusion and fatigue.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately…”

"I get easily emotional. The smallest things can make me want to cry, and sometimes I suddenly feel very irritable."

"Ever since I merged the energies of other clones in the library, I've felt this way more and more."

"The energy of the clone?" Lin Yu paused, thinking of the transformation on March 7.

She was forced to accept other "selves", and those broken memories and emotions flooded into her consciousness like a tide. At that time, she just thought that she had adapted to it, but she didn't expect that she would still have such sequelae.
