Chapter 370 Oath
"Do you mean becoming a companion?"
"Companion, the wording is not quite precise, but it roughly means this."
Lei was silent for a while, then looked at Hailin again, and the sound of wind could be heard in the silence.
"...with conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Hailen wants to—"
"I refuse this. It is an established fact that she has become 'me'."
There was a trace of dissatisfaction on the corner of Lei's mouth: "But Hailin is just a child. There is no chance of winning against someone like me."
The Phantom thought for a moment, then said, "Indeed," and then thought for a moment.
"So, how about waiting for her to grow up?"
"growing up?"
"Yes. Erase this incident from her memory and observe her growth. When the time is right, let her become 'me' again."
"but......"
Although Lei remained silent, Phantom continued: "You can also use my ability to make her forget her 'skills' and no longer be 'identified'."
As if he had read Lei's thoughts, he answered eloquently: "If you are worried, you can add her to the oath with 'me'." Phantom changed the subject.
"In this case, I won't be killed by you, and you don't need to lose her. Also, by the way, even if you kill me, she will always carry nothingness and continue to kill."
Regarding this threat, Lei lowered his head and pondered.
"Well, of course, you can kill me and continue to escape 'I'. But I don't recommend that. Especially the white 'I', which exists beyond common sense."
Ray thought this through. It's easy to kill the Phantom here and escape, relying on the Kingdom to protect Helene and continue your escape.
However, even possessing that kingdom cannot capture the existence of 'Phantom'. In addition, Helene's memory has been tampered with and manipulated by the Phantom.
Is it possible to remove these after killing the Phantom?
Judging from the performance of the phantom, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
In the tangle, Lei's heart had already made a choice.
"I understand." Ray raised his head.
"I am willing to be your companion." After saying that, Lei made the sword disappear.
Lei hugged Hailin and returned to his home. Immediately after, the Phantom entered the house.
"But, it's really strange." Phantom said to Lei's back, "The villagers and friends were killed right in front of their eyes, but you only worried about Miss Hailin."
Lei turned around, still holding Hai Lin, and faced the phantom: "You misunderstood, this is a village where assassins are trained. The death of partners is common here, and we cannot be so sad for it."
"Oh? That child is a different matter?"
"Hailin is..." Lei lowered his head and stared at Hailin: "Hailin once longed to have no chance of fighting."
"A parent's heart, huh?"
"You can also understand how a father feels."
Phantom nodded: "But if it is a village that trains assassins, that is impossible..."
Phantom interrupted his words and laughed: "I see, you were planning to leave the village, right?"
"You're really smart. What a spooky guy."
"Think of it as a strange statement."
Lei turned his back to Phantom and walked deeper into the house: "However, the way you recruit your partners is really amazing."
"Oh why?"
"Brainwashing creates a stubborn consciousness. Historically, such people have always failed."
Phantom laughed loudly: "It is true that I exerted influence on her, but if I want to truly become 'me', my perception is different."
"What's the meaning?"
"When you become part of 'me,' you understand."
Ray glared at Phantom, then turned away. In this way, he walked into the room, placed Helen on the floor, and uncovered a piece of floorboard.
"Under the floor?"
"Well, let's pretend that 'Phantom failed to complete the mission'. Even if it can't be found here, there will be no contradiction. Hailin's strength has been recorded in the training list submitted by the kingdom."
"I see."
Lei picked up Hailin again and put her under the floor: "Hailin, goodbye for now."
Just when he was about to let go of his hand, Hailin, who was supposed to be unconscious, grabbed Lei's finger with her right hand: "Brother..."
Lei smiled and said: "I will definitely come to pick you up. No matter when, I will protect you." After saying that, he gently stroked Hailin's head.
Ray put the floor back in place, stood up, turned to Phantom and said, "Did you do what you said?"
"As for the memory and 'skills', there is no need to worry. I have carefully modified them so that neither she nor the outside world can notice."
Ray nodded.
"Then let's make a 'promise' with magic first. It doesn't matter who is her guardian."
"Can't I serve as Helene's guardian?"
"It's a little difficult. After all, your thoughts will change drastically..." Phantom said, with ripples in his eyes and a smile.
Lei narrowed his eyes and looked slightly towards where the sleeping Hai Lin was. Then, he nodded several times, "Got it," he said.
"Please come." Although his tone was heavy, Lei said with determination.
The room echoed with cries of grief. Hailin looked up at the ceiling, with tears in her eyes and a cry in her voice.
I remembered it, I had to remember it.
Deceived by distorted memories, I forgot the truth.
He is the culprit, he is the malicious one.
The people who had always been together like family were cruelly wiped out with these black hands. The opponent who originally wanted to sacrifice everything to return to glory turned out to be himself.
Confusion, confusion, and ultimately mental breakdown.
The recalled memories rewind again and again like a movie that plays automatically, filling the brain.
In the disintegrating thoughts, what emerges is the desire to "want to die."
Such mediocre and simple atonement is meaningless.
However, what else can be done?
What can be done?
Hailin's heart squeezed her throat with emotion. I felt nauseous, dizzy, and my will to escape also tried to dim my vision.
The pain is heavier than sadness, and the pain dominates the whole body.
Unable to breathe, unable to speak. Only the tears kept flowing, showing no signs of drying up.
"That's great! That's great!!" The phantom voice filled with joy sounded, "To have such a powerful ability."
Phantom said but showed a thoughtful look: "Although I can understand that 'I' who is waiting to grow up has not spoken yet, but why did he not give an accurate report after his death? If 'I' were me, I would definitely not Will be lazy."
Phantom thought as he looked down at Hai Lin. Hailin's eyes were not focused, and her mood was obviously still in turmoil.
"Oh, are you broken?" Phantom squatted in front of Hailin and gently wiped away her tears.
"Kill him for me..." Hai Lin whispered softly, and Phantom chuckled.
