Chapter 420: The Day After (3) Heart
After slightly updating "The Fisherman on the River of Time", Sunan also brought Marki's soul back to the world.
At this moment, Marki, in the soul state, curled up into a ball and closed his eyes. In his arms, the Eye of God of the Rock Element was shining brightly.
"Malky, open your eyes..."
"I am Shafulin..."
A sense of evil humor that came from nowhere drove Su Nan to say this.
In short, when he said this, both Diakarapian and Yuktrahil, who was silent beside him, looked at Sunan with extremely strange eyes.
"I...what's wrong with me?" Marky opened his eyes in a daze, and the words that came to his ears made him inevitably confused.
"Who is Shafulin?"
"Shaforin is Zoffy! The plan to destroy Ultraman was made by Lord Zoffy!" Sunan said nonsense seriously.
"......?" Malki frowned unconsciously after hearing these strange words, and his eyes followed the source of the sound.
"You are..." His eyes swept across the crowd, first passing by Sunan who was speaking strange words, then ignoring the beautiful and lovely Yggdrasil, and finally when he saw Dekarapian, his eyes trembled slightly.
"Is it... His Majesty the Wind God?"
"It's me, Malky." Dikarapian took a step forward and came in front of Malky. He looked at the knight in front of him with a complicated expression.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I have failed to live up to your expectations, betrayed Mond, and broken my oath... Please punish me as I deserve." When Malky got the answer, pain and regret appeared in his eyes.
"This way, I can feel a little better."
"You are right, Malky." Dikarabian sighed. "You did not do any of this."
"No... I did all this, Your Majesty." Malki closed his eyes in pain. "I have the corresponding memories. I cannot resist the invasion of alienated forces with my will."
“After being alienated, am I still myself?”
"Can I use this excuse to escape the punishment I deserve?"
"In my memory, I have killed too many people, and my hands are stained with the blood of my own people. Even if I try my best, I can only reluctantly let Feier go after being transformed..."
"But what good does this do?"
"Dead... Everyone is dead..."
"They said they would protect me, but I pushed them into the abyss of death."
"I am a sinner, an unforgivable sinner."
"I told you, he is not you." Diekarapian took a deep breath and said seriously, "He does not have your knight's heart, nor your knight's will."
"So what if I look like you?"
"You are not alone!"
"What you really want is to protect Mondstadt forever with the sword in your hand and your heart!"
"That alienated Malki was never you!"
"Dear Majesty the God of Wind...you are wrong." Marki shook his head.
"I have the memories of the alienated Malki. Or rather, from the beginning, his and my memories were shared."
"I know everything about him, and he knows everything about me."
"You may think that spiritual alienation means that he and I are not the same person..."
"But does this mean that I can escape responsibility?"
"He and I share a body, and this body, named 'Malky Lawrence', carries many serious crimes, such as killing fellow tribesmen, murdering the pillars of the country, causing disasters, and destroying celebrations!"
"Such sins are unforgivable."
"The law...is merciless!"
After a few seconds of silence, Diekarapian seemed to want to say something, but after looking at Malki, he gave up trying to persuade him.
Because he knew that Malki had made his choice.
For him, sharing a body is equivalent to bearing corresponding merits and demerits.
Perhaps as a Knight of the Sacred Heart, he fulfilled his oath to protect Mondstadt, and has been protecting every aspect of Mondstadt with his life and the sword in his hand.
But after being alienated... he broke his oath and even caused a lot of harm to Mond.
How could he be qualified to ask for forgiveness from the people of Mond?
Therefore, there is only one way to atone for sins: death.
On the other side, after hearing these words, Sunan sighed slightly and sent Marki back into the river of time.
"...Olias, don't you want to ask something?" Diocarapian was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
"I already got the answer, Diekarapian," Sunan said calmly.
"...Can you explain it to me?" Diekarapian rubbed his head, "I feel a little unwell."
"This... is actually very simple." Su Nan stroked his chin and said, "Do you think this 'alienation' is a kind of mental illness in a sense?"
"..." Diekarapian frowned slightly and fell into thought.
"Do you think a mentally ill person can escape legal punishment?" Sunan asked with a smile.
"This..." Diekarapian frowned, not knowing how to answer.
After all, this is an extremely difficult definition to discern.
"Under the laws of Holy Lemuria, even a mentally ill person cannot escape legal punishment." Sunan continued:
"The laws of Holy Lemuria are perfect."
"With many examples as reference, the laws of Holy Lemuria have already covered all aspects."
“I was directly involved in deciding how to deal with a lot of murky areas and laws.”
"Just like whether a mentally ill person can escape the punishment of the law..."
"My answer is... Impossible!"
Su Nan's expression darkened slightly.
"If illness is an excuse to do evil... then if everyone in this world is sick, does that mean everyone can do evil?"
"If you know you have a mental illness and still do evil things... you are either a fool or a bad person."
"It's just using the illness as an excuse to wantonly release the deepest darkness in your heart."
"How can such a person escape the punishment of the law?"
"The law is actually compassionate...but, in most cases, the law is merciless!"
Speaking of this, there was a hint of admiration in Su Nan's eyes.
"I think it's great that Malki recognized this."
"...I see." Dikarapian closed his eyes, looking as if he was in some discomfort.
"I'm a little tired..."
"Are you tired?" Su Nan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are just simply in a bad mood."
"If you feel bad, vent it out."
"It just so happens that in another universe, a locust plague is about to happen. How about going there to vent some anger?"
"It's just killing some bugs anyway, no one will blame you."
