The magician in the city

Chapter 379 Roach's Choice

Chapter 370 Seven Roach's Choice

"I feel your hatred." She stretched out Roach's hand, making Roach's most innocent expression.She stepped on the solid snow under her feet and walked slowly towards Du Zhengyi. Facing Du Zhengyi's chilling killing intent, she did not use any defensive magic. "My only fault was not telling you the truth."

Du Zhengyi waited for her to speak in silence, his expression seemed a little elusive after a few steps away.

"It's not what you think it is," she said, sounding like a sophistry, but she said it in a deliberate manner.Like a gentle mentor, she is guiding her students to return to the truth, pursue the truth, and better understand the world.

Du Zhengyi stared closely at her eyes, eliminating all the confusion and interference caused by Roach's appearance, and stared directly at the ghost hiding behind Roach's body.

"I met Roach that day, or I can say I met a soul who was searching." She said, with a slight smile in her eyes, "I had a long heart-to-heart talk with Roach. Of course, the long talk It’s relative to the time we use our minds to communicate, and it’s also based on that ability.”

"Who are you?" Du Zhengyi interrupted the rhythm of her conversation.

"I have many names, and you may have heard of most of them. My name is spread throughout the myths and legends of humans and mages. My name is the name of one of the creators. Today, you can call me Iva." She smiled Said, and winked at Du Zhengyi humorously.Surrounded by a world of ice and snow, she can make the atmosphere here gradually warm up, as if the stove is quietly lit, and warm wine is being placed on the tray.

She approached Du Zhengyi, gave him a playful look, and then paced around him, as if admiring a perfect statue carved by a master. "You are a miracle."

"Roach too." He said in a low voice.

"Oh, Roach is a mutant," she said without thinking. "The decline of the mage population is inevitable. Roach's appearance is the dying struggle of the species, and it is the result of a very rare birth. It is a pity that he must not be tolerated in the current mage society. It is a law of nature that if a tree is more beautiful than the forest wind, it will be destroyed. Fortunately, mutants are meaningless to the entire biological population. If Roche has offspring, he will be an excellent individual, not to mention that the fertility rate of mages is so low. Of course, I'm not saying that Roach's soul is not precious, aside from these cold rules, Roach is unique, he is very generous to you. Oh, you feel the sting, I'm sorry I shouldn't mention this."

"Can you clearly feel my emotions?" Du Zhengyi asked.His walls are still there, and even Roach can't fully perceive what he's feeling.

"Roach belongs to an atavistic phenomenon. His physical characteristics are very close to us, closer to us than yours. His ability tends to be telepathy, but he is far from really understanding where his limits are. We... also Talking about this, we got the same result, he suffered too much mental pain, which limited his development." She said seriously, raised her head and looked straight into Du Zhengyi's eyes, "You have glimpsed his Deep down, right?"

Du Zhengyi did not deny it.

"The gloomy youth full of depression and pain left too deep a mark on him. He may not be able to fully get out of it all his life. For an intelligent and sensitive person, his heart has been tortured. Moving forward on the road, you have to bear the pain of the past, and continue to get new injuries. The world will not treat him kindly. He is not a bad person, I have to admit, he deserves better things, but what he really desires is very Less, you're the only one who ever gave him. I want to tell you that he's more grateful to you than he's ever admitted to you."

She paused, looked at Du Zhengyi, and wanted to reap the harvest after planting these words from his expression and his heart.Du Zhengyi himself was like a stone statue, facing her coldly.

She continued, "Roach has fallen into an obsession. He hates the mage society deep in his heart. I don't think you can understand this. You are the darling of the mage society and a talent. Even if your peers are jealous of you, but The authority class of mage society loves you. Besides, it's a good feeling to be jealous, isn't it? Like the light reflected off a trophy, it's heartwarming to watch. But Roach, all he's ever suffered is bullying and He has been relying on his intelligence to barely keep his dignity. When he was a child, the world of children was cruel, but when he finally grew up, the lotus burner found him again He. When he is incapable, the mage society will not protect him, but will expel him from the society after repeated tests. Of course he hates this world and the mage authority who makes decisions. He said that you are His conscience, you may not understand the weight of this sentence, because he believes in you, he can believe in the value of this world and his efforts. But if there is anything hidden in the pit of the mage world that can save your life Things, but they think you are not worthy of use..."

Her voice lowered, she could feel the young man in front of her, his average face with symmetrical complex aesthetics, his skin temperature slightly higher than the average person, his still existing heartbeat, she could even smell his body If there is no taste. "I can understand how he wants you to live." She turned her head, slightly avoiding the influence of a young male's living body on her, but she didn't take this part of her ability away from her body.

"If you are implying something to me," Du Zhengyi said, his voice was cold, with great restraint and disgust, "you are trying to punish your heart, do you want to dig into Roach's heart and let me blame him? No matter what Roach thinks now, he doesn't need to be responsible for what he didn't do. Not to mention that I don't believe what you imply, how can Roach step on my dead body to get me Something to live on? No matter how much he hopes, how he plans, this matter itself is an impossible paradox."

She raised a hand to make Du Zhengyi pause. This movement was Roach's and he learned from Du Zhengyi.Roach made a lot of tricks to imitate Du Zhengyi. It is normal for a boy to want to imitate his big brother.But now that this action was seen by Du Zhengyi, the corners of his eyes twitched, and a murderous intent burst out from his chest, the pain spurred his anger, and his usually restrained warrior instinct was aroused.

She couldn't help but took a step back, and her outstretched hand turned into a pleading gesture, "Please listen to me, we don't need to conflict, otherwise I'm really sorry for Roach."

Du Zhengyi looked at her.

She was always paying attention to Du Zhengyi's actions, guarding against his surprise attacks, while she had to speak more sincerely. "I didn't imply anything to you. As you said, none of us need to be responsible for what we didn't do. Roach just hoped to get the secret hidden by Lonely Mountain and get you a ticket. But after all, Lonely Mountain How is the rebirth achieved? You can’t be sure if you haven’t seen it. After all, it’s still illusory. Moreover, it’s your choice not to take that ticket. As long as there is a way, Roach hopes to respect your first choice. If you can You live in this world and don't need to be reborn, which is of course the best. That's your choice too."

"What do you mean?" Du Zhengyi asked in a low voice.

"I showed Roach my ability." She said softly, looking into Du Zhengyi's eyes, "Roch believes that I can indeed heal you, and you don't have to go far to the lonely mountain or go astray, I am him The way. You have your choice, Roach also made his choice, one life for another."

"It's all lies!" Du Zhengyi growled, he was no longer the quiet and harmless young man, the flames were burning in his eyes, the spell was on the tip of his tongue, and the power was condensed in his fingertips , to be thrown out at any time.

"This is what I don't want to tell you, the truth I don't want you to know!" she said aloud, in Roach's voice, with another's accent. "If you don't know anything, I will leave you for a while, we will meet and break up like all friends, and gradually become estranged. When we meet again, you will think that the old people have changed. Then I will tell you what I have learned. If it is done, I will heal you. You will not know that Luo Qi is gone, and everything will be as Luo Qi hopes. You will live on, and he will get rid of the painful life he has long been tired of! If it is not because of Guan Xin Yue, a sensitive girl, found me..." "I don't need anyone to tell me that my brother is gone." Du Zhengyi said angrily, as if he was throwing his words into ice cubes and smashing them at the other party. He is no longer Roach's person.Human beings are fragile, the flame of life can be extinguished anytime and anywhere, and the bright soul may drift away anytime and anywhere. He must take good care of them and guard them carefully, but he will still lose them at any time.How could these... be understood by the Creator?The ancestor mage is another completely different existence, how can they understand?

The gentle expression on "Roch's" face turned cold and hard. Du Zhengyi's anger had already burned the possibility of negotiation, and the lore was imminent.She looked at him disappointedly, "In Roach's consciousness, you are a cold and rational person, a mature man." "Does he think that I will be indifferent to his death? How long has he lived, he He hasn't even reached the adult standard of a mage, is he going to die?" Du Zhengyi said in a low voice, the sadness softened his emotions, as if it also weakened his aggressiveness.

She was acutely aware of it. "You've always recovered well from the death of your companions."

"That's your opinion, not Roach's," he said.

She nodded and admitted, "This is indeed my opinion, the opinion I got from Roach's memory. Roach didn't think so. I thought he was wrong."

"No matter how long you live, it's a fluke to meet someone who can fully understand you." Du Zhengyi said.

"I have all of Roach's memories. I can't say that Roach is completely gone, so I can understand you. At least I can understand you in Roach's way of thinking." She said.

"You killed Roach?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"I have no choice," she said, "There can only be one consciousness in a body. No matter how much you hate me, I hope you can accept this, at least let me fulfill Roach's wish, I hope you don't Make this matter meaningless. Let me treat you, and I can make you live until the day you die normally." "I said, it's not easy to meet someone who can fully understand yourself, even if you have You can neither understand him nor me for all his memories." Du Zhengyi lowered his head, as if looking at the snow on the ground.

She thought about this sentence, she "heard" that Du Zhengyi didn't talk nonsense, he was neither pretentious nor stewing chicken soup.Vaguely, she felt a slight adjustment in the force field, "You..."

As soon as Du Zheng raised his head, his pupils suddenly became a little unclear.She stared at him in astonishment as she quickly calculated what had happened, but Roach's mind was not as good for calculation as she'd hoped, she couldn't do it quickly enough.Du Zhengyi sneered, "I said, Roach will never give up his chance to live. He never likes to lose the initiative. He will pin his hope of keeping me alive on you who can't be controlled? This is absolutely impossible. Impossible! Even if you are the ancestor mage, he will not believe in you."

The ground under her feet began to tremble, and she glared at Du Zhengyi.
