Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Sieg was about to give chase, but Joan of Arc and Jack had already reached this point.

"I won't let you lay a hand on Mom."

Jack whistled, and countless children, each holding a scalpel, emerged from the mist.

Joan of Arc and Siegfried were immediately caught in a fierce battle, having to protect the child while fending off Jack's attacks.

Caught off guard, the two were separated by a considerable distance. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late. Jack leaped over the wall and charged towards Sieg, intending to take Sieg's head.

[Video paused.]

[Question: What will happen next in the battle?]

[A: Zieg was beheaded by Jack.]

[B: Jack was fatally wounded by Joan of Arc.]

[C: Jack is fatally wounded by Sieg and killed.]

[D: Jack was fatally wounded by Chiron.]

[E: Jack is fatally wounded by Atalanta and killed.]

[F: The battle is going badly, Jack has escaped.]

[Please answer within 1 minutes; exceeding the time limit will be considered a forfeit.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Sigh! Are there six choices this time?!"

Fiore: "This is a bit tricky; it's difficult to make a judgment on this question."

Afu: "What's so hard to judge? It's definitely C!"

[Ding! Afu answered incorrectly, deducting 1 Saint Quartz.]

Afu: "Ah..."

Gold: "I told you before, don't answer rashly."

Cowles: "But that also eliminates one answer."

Chapter 287 The Incarnation of Sin, the Outcast of the Fog City

Siegfried: "If it's not C, then it must be B."

He didn't believe that Zieg would die at Jack's hands.

[Ding! Siegfried answered incorrectly, deducting 1 Saint Quartz.]

Weber: "So now the most suitable one is E."

[Ding! Congratulations to Webber for answering this question correctly. You have received 3 Saint Quartz.]

Ta-Miao: "Is it me?"

This is not surprising. Although she likes children, Jack's behavior means she no longer sees him as a child.

[Question time is over, video continues.]

An arrow ripped through the thick fog, blasting half of Jack's body to pieces. Sieg, who was closer, was also blasted away, but at least he survived.

"Waaah..."

[Jack, enduring the pain, climbed onto the building to escape, but Joan of Arc immediately gave chase and stopped him.]

The wounded Jack was no match for Joan of Arc; he was knocked to the ground and unable to fight any longer.

As the thick fog dissipated, the children possessed by vengeful spirits collapsed one after another. Jack, dragging his mangled body, crawled on his hands and knees, desperately trying to escape.

"Mommy...Mommy..."

At this moment, it's truly impossible to tell whether she is the perpetrator or the victim.

Rin Tohsaka: "This scene is really..."

Weber: "It's all so confusing now, it's hard to tell who the bad guys are."

Feng Xi: "There is always something hateful about a pitiful person."

Fiore: "Yes, she wasn't this gentle when she was killing people."

Just as Joan of Arc was about to use a baptismal chant to send the deceased to the afterlife, Jack vanished instantly.

[It was Lingxia Liu, who used a Command Spell to rescue Jack.]

Joan of Arc sensed that they were still in town, and immediately took Sieg and gave chase.

"Mom...Mom...I'm so sorry..."

"No need to say anything, just sleep well."

[On Lingxia's side, she was holding the seriously injured Jack, her heart aching, as they walked towards their hiding place.]

"Mom... what should we do next..."

"Let's heal your injuries first. You need to rest now."

["Mom, I want to hear you play the piano again..."]

"I understand, I'll find a way to play it for you."

[Meanwhile, in the glass of a nearby shop, a figure holding a bow and arrow was reflected, aimed at them. Director Lingxia witnessed this scene.]

The next moment, she threw Jack to the ground.

【"Mother?"】

Jack looked completely bewildered, and the next second, he froze completely.

[Six-year-old Lingxia collapsed in front of her.]

Jack: "Mom!!!"

Liu Daolingxia: "..."

Weber: "Sigh..."

The pairing of Lingxia and Jack is really hard to judge.

[Reaching out to stroke the other's cheek, Liu Dao Lingxia smiled with her last strength, "I command you with two Command Spells, 'Even if I'm gone,' 'you will be alright'... Jack..."]

Although she didn't understand magic, she still used up her last two Command Seals, slightly increasing Jack's chances of survival.

[It's precisely because we don't understand that we take this as a blessing, like a mother trying to reassure her frightened daughter.]

There was no resentment, no anger, only a deep reluctance to part with the child.

[Six-year-old Lingxia has no regrets.]

She should have died long ago; Jack saved her and fulfilled her wish to live.

Although the time we spent together was short, the days I spent with her were so joyful. No matter how bloody or cruel...

【Mother...】

[There is a girl who calls out to me with an innocent voice, and it doesn't matter what her true identity is. Just that is enough to make me happy, just that is enough to make every day wonderful.]

Unfortunately, the happy dream has finally come to an end.

["No, no, Mom! You can't! No, no, no..."]

Jack threw himself on Lingxia's back, sobbing, but she could no longer respond.

All that remains is that unintentional, out-of-place expression—a smile.

Jack: "Mom!!!"

Liu Daolingxia: "It's okay, Jack, Mom is still here."

Jack: "Mom, you can't die..."

Liu Daolingxia: "Don't worry, Mom will definitely live well and see you again."

Ta-Miao: "..."

Please don't do that, it makes her sound like a bad person.

Atalanta was filled with a myriad of thoughts as she watched this scene unfold.

[It was she who stepped in to help just now, because Jack had involved the children and crossed her line.]

The reason Jack killed Lingxia was because her actions were clearly condoned by him.

She originally intended to eliminate both Liu Dao Lingxia and Jack, but unexpectedly, Liu Dao Lingxia discovered her plan and abandoned Jack to take the arrow herself.

Seeing Jack's heartbroken expression, a pang of guilt-like sadness tugged at her heart, but she quickly recovered, drew her bow, and aimed an arrow at Jack.

"That's good, let's just leave everything behind."

Achilles: "That's the best option, boss. I would have done the same."

Ta Miao: "Don't worry, I was already prepared since I made my move."

Liu Daolingxia: "No! Why can't you let Jack go!"

Taman: "You died. Without her Master, she wouldn't have lived much longer anyway. The Command Seals just extended her lifespan a little."

Jack: "You'll regret this. I'll show you what hell is like."
