Epilogue
Olivia moved forward cautiously in the mansion, but the more she moved forward, the more she was more shocked.
Although she found not many corpses, judging from the various traces at the scene, the murderer... was very similar to someone who should no longer exist in this world.
Finally, after searching for about ten minutes, she decided to leave here first.
Because at this moment, she realized that there was no breath of living people around her.
However……
"Do you think there is still a place to get you back?"
Jack's voice sounded like a whisper from hell, and it suddenly sounded from behind Olivia.
When he heard the sound, Olivia's whole body stiffened, her pupils contracted, and she turned around suddenly.
"You..." When she confirmed with her naked eyes that the other party was really Jack, fear burst out uncontrollably, "How could you..."
"Already alive?" Jack snatched her head, paused for a moment, and continued, "The answer is engraved on my face." He said, then pointed to the scar on his face.
"What does it mean?" Olivia didn't understand what Jack said.
"You think my ability is 'time stop'; broadly speaking, that's right." Jack said, "but... 'time' is a very complicated thing... If you want to put it more carefully, the 'time stop' in your perception actually stops the 'relative time' you can perceive in the physical world." He paused for a moment and said, "But when I am infinitely close to death, the instinct of survival will make my brain do something that I can't understand..."
"You...stop 'absolute time'?" When Olivia heard this, she probably understood, and her expression became more serious.
"Just the moment the first shrapnel of the bomb blasted across my face, I saw some scenes that might never be seen by humans." Jack continued, "Later, he lost consciousness briefly... When I woke up, I found that my body had only suffered a little bit of minor injuries, and the wounds had basically healed. Only this scar on my face had turned into a necrotic, undestructible old wound."
"Hmph..." Olivia snorted coldly, "You actually want to tell me that you are not injured now, it's easy to deal with me, right?" Speaking of this, red and blue light appeared on her left and right hands, "But in my opinion, you are just bluffing... How could you survive the explosion and suffer only a little bit of minor injuries?"
"The person involved knows the most who is bluffing." Jack said, as he stepped closer to the other party.
Chichi--
At this moment, Olivia spread her hands, and two arcs of light tore the air, attacking Jack at two tricky angles.
The next second, two bloody hands suddenly landed on the ground.
Jack's figure stood in front of Olivia as if teleported.
"Ah! Ah--" Olivia screamed in pain suddenly burst out from her wrists.
In the same second, two blood lights burst out on her knees again, causing her to lose the ability to stand.
At this time, he looked at Jack with a condescending look, and two bloody blades appeared on the wrists of both hands.
"I found a few old antiques in the things that Gallo left behind, which looked like relics left by the leaders of Qianming a long time ago." Jack looked down at the sneak sword at his hand and said coldly, "I think it's perfect to use them on you, the current leader."
"What do you understand!" Olivia endured the severe pain and pressed her two cut-off wrists against her body to stop the bleeding, and staggered on the ground, away from Jack, "You know how much my father paid to protect Qianming! How much sacrificed again!"
"I don't know, nor am I interested." Jack approached step by step, "because the thing your father wants to protect is not Qian Ming, but you..."
When Olivia heard this, she was obviously stunned, but she didn't say anything.
"He may be a good-hearted father, but this does not mean that he is a qualified leader of Qianming, nor does it mean that he is a respectable person." Jack continued, "You and your father are essentially no different from Gallo...
"All killers know that the real Qianming will not succumb to money, power or power, because it is a shadow that protects all living beings and worldly justice in the dark.
"Qianming has never been an industry...it is a spirit, it should be inherited, not inherited.
"But you, your father, and Gallo, you regard it as an entity carrying strength and reputation, as your own possession... with a motive that goes in opposite directions to Qianming's spirit, and drive it with your personal will.
"You should have been a person like Bruno who can't sleep at night, but now they have become weapons in his hands.
"A Qianming, at least in my opinion... has long been dead in name only."
When Olivia listened to these words, her face turned pale due to blood loss became more and more angry.
When a person's values are completely denied but cannot be refuted, the anger that bursts out from despair is indescribable.
"It's so beautiful..." She was still crawling and sneered, "Hmph... You are an outsider, but you are talking about the 'Qianming spirit' with me?" She roared hysterically, "You know nothing! Faith without power to support is a joke! What has Qianming experienced over the years... How much do you know? How can an organization that cannot protect itself talk about justice?" She spat, "So what are you? Haha... aren't you watching that bitch die in your arms? Can your ravings save her? Ideals are only qualified to talk about the strong and the winner! Do you count?"
Jack was silent for a few seconds after hearing this.
"You're right." He thought about it and said again, "I don't count." He paused again, "I'm just a weak loser...
“I muster up the courage to return to this place I have been away from, and try to find a redemption for my heart.
"This kind of thinking itself is selfish, despicable, and weak.
"Sinners always want to use some opportunistic methods to eliminate guilt, and use self-deception logic to make themselves feel forgiven...
"But the fact is that what happened will not change; the sins committed cannot be eliminated.
"So, I will no longer be entangled with the 'past'. If there is really a way for me to get redemption in the world, it will be in the future..."
Olivia didn't talk to him anymore, but just crawled on the ground silently; because she had shed too much blood, even though she was a capable person, she was almost at her limit.
"Although I've asked, I don't think you understand..." Jack looked at her for a few seconds, and repeated the first sentence he said when he saw her, "Do you think... there is still a place to let you go?"
This time, Olivia understood.
So she stopped moving and froze.
In fact, this is something she should think of when she confirmed that Jack was still alive - why did the other party know her whereabouts? Only her subordinates should know about her visit to Bruno, so it is obvious... Jack had already visited the assassins under her before coming here. In other words... those people are probably no longer in this world.
"You...you..." Olivia could hardly speak, but she turned over in sorrow, crawled towards Jack, and murmured with her bloodless lips, "...don't that matter... do you know what you are doing? I'm going to kill you...I want to..."
Her life is almost over, but her obsession is still tormenting her.
Jack knelt on one knee and held Olivia, who was basically unable to resist with one hand, allowing the other party to hit his shoulder with a bloody wrist, even the bones exposed.
"I certainly know what I'm doing, I've never known so clearly who I am and what I'm doing." Jack said, "The person who doesn't understand yet... is you."
"Cough... cough... oh..." At this moment, Olivia's hand finally hung to the ground weakly and could no longer lift it.
Tears of despair flowed out of her eyes, and her pupils gradually became empty.
"People who are not bound by rules will naturally not be protected by rules..." Jack said, holding the other person in his arms with one hand and slowly lifting his hand with the other hand, "People who serve the light must have the awareness of committing themselves to darkness..." He pushed his sleeve sword to Olivia's neck, "I will eliminate your sins and bear them..."
The next second, the sneak sword pierced Olivia's throat, ending her not-so-long life.
The girl's death did not change Jack's firm and cold eyes. He just put away his sword and walked silently towards the empty corridor ahead.
"Under the Killing Divine Blade, everything is empty."
