"If it was just a strong desire, it would be fine, but the key is that he also has an execution ability that is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he also holds extraordinary energy in his hands.

Such a person, regardless of whether he can achieve his ambitions in the end, if he is allowed to continue doing so, he will definitely commit numerous crimes and hurt countless people...Xiaoqing."

Turning to look at Xiaoqing again, Hatoyama Keiko asked with a smile:

"Tell me, should I stop him?"

She threw the question to him.

She could no longer come up with the answer to this question on her own.

Keiko Hatoyama once thought that her inner toughness was far beyond ordinary people. No matter what situation she faced, she could overcome all difficulties and make the most correct choice.

But now it seems that this is not the case. The reason why she was able to do this before was just because the person who needed to be chosen had not yet fallen on the person she cared about most. When such a problem really appeared in front of her, she would also Hesitation, hesitation or even wanting to give up...

“This man is very powerful in the American empire, and he is also very capable, and he is also a coward who is extremely afraid of death.

Because of my failure this time, I can no longer use conventional means to get rid of him... Even so, I actually have another method, but this method will hurt many people, even you.

Xiaoqing, tell me, what should I do rightly? "

"Theoretically speaking, there is no absolute right thing in this world, and this is even more true on the more grandiose topics. Nothing can satisfy everyone."

Xiaoqing was still peeling an apple, his tone steady, just as always.

"Keiko, my personal level of morality and conscience is limited, so I cannot give you the absolutely correct answer on this topic.

If you have to say it, I just hope you can do it according to your inner thoughts. "

"But, I just can't decide now..."

"It's just that you haven't seen it clearly yet."

"Eh?"

"Including me, people in the world are selfish by nature. No matter what the circumstances, they will not put the things that are really important to them on the scale for measurement.

Because it is absolutely important to them, and it may even be their only pursuit in this life, and it is an existence that cannot be replaced by anything else.

So, Keiko..."

The apple peel suddenly broke at the last moment when it was about to be peeled. Xiao Qing finally raised his head and looked at Keiko Hatoyama on the hospital bed with a calm expression.

"When you put your inner hesitation and the matter of the Karasuma family head on the balance, haven't you already made a decision?"

"Huh?"

These words were like a thunderbolt, making Keiko Hatoyama tremble all over.

Human beings are selfish by nature, and what is truly important in a person's heart will never be put on the scales for measurement, because that is the bottom line that will never be compromised.

On the contrary, everything that can be measured is not the most important thing in her heart...

"So, is this what it turns out to be..."

Forcing herself to sit up, Keiko Hatoyama's face was full of disbelief.

She raised her pale hands tremblingly and touched her cheeks, tears falling uncontrollably from her eyes.

"So...have I actually made a decision?"

"So... I have never regarded you as the most important existence?"

The scale appeared again.

At both ends of the scale, the weight of "Koqing and Kokarasuma" actually always outweighs the weight of "killing Karasuma Renya" on the other end.

This shows that the existence of Xiao Qing and Xiao Karasuma has always been more important in her heart than killing Karasuma Renye.

That's why she hesitated, that's why she handed over the power of decision-making, that's why she was even planning to give up...

Keiko Hatoyama stretched out her hand, subconsciously wanting to touch the scale.

But...why?

Obviously...it's obvious to you, it's obvious to me...

"Keiko."

Beside her, Xiao Qing's voice called her back to consciousness. He finally finished peeling the last bit of apple skin and reached out to hand the apple in his hand to her.

"Xiaoqing..."

Keiko Hatoyama turned her head and looked at him, the confusion and fragility on her face at this moment were displayed in front of him without any cover.

She felt that her brain was in chaos. There were many things that she could not think clearly, and there were many decisions that she could not make accurate judgments on...

"Do as you wish."

With a gentle smile on his face, Bai Heqing looked at her and said the final and decisive words.

"No matter what happens, I will accompany you until the end."

Chapter 700 Miyano Shiho’s Prayer

“At that time, I wasn’t telling the truth.

In the United States, after leaving Karasuma Renya's bunker, Shirakawa Kiyoshi did not immediately set out for the Crow Research Institute, but brought Miyano Shiho to a detached villa first.

Opening the door with the key, Shirakawa Kiyo is in front and Miyano Shiho is following behind.

"What I said was not entirely correct."

The smell of dust accumulated from being closed for a long time hit his face. Bai Heqing walked into the house and spoke slowly.

“Everyone has something irreplaceable and important in their heart, and for most people, it is their own life.

But there are also a few people who regard other things as more important than their own lives. This may be some material things that actually exist in reality, or it may be some kind of indestructible belief, or it may be an important people..."

Here is the small villa where Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho lived for the past ten years.

The villa has only three floors, with the utility room and small balcony on the third floor, and the bedrooms of Shirakawa Kiyoshi and Miyano Shiho on the second floor.

There was nothing special about it, but it was important to Miyano Shiho because she lived here for nearly ten years.

From the age of seven to seventeen, she has been living here with the most important person in her life.

Even though many people regard him as a heinous devil, for Miyano Shiho, this is still the happiest period of her life.

So, she desperately hoped that Bai Heqing would bring her back here one more time before the final scene was staged.

"But Shiho, different people actually have different ways of treating the most important things in their hearts."

Walking up the wooden stairs to the second floor, Shirakawa Kiyoshi continued:

"Indeed, some people regard the important things in their hearts as the supreme pearl. These people hold it at the highest position in their hearts and will never compare or measure it with anything. It seems like this Doing so will make it tainted.

However, this does not represent everyone.

In addition, there are other people who will repeatedly compare the important things in their hearts with other things in their lives.

Of course, this does not mean that they regard it as unimportant. On the contrary, they also regard it as very important and irreplaceable.

The evidence is that although this kind of people will use it to make repeated comparisons and measurements, it will always win in every comparison. What it experiences is a sure-win comparison.

These two types of people are essentially the same. The only difference between them is that the former can get satisfaction just by holding something, while the latter needs to get it from repeated comparisons.

And Keiko...actually belongs to the latter.

Keiko is very different from ordinary people. She is tough but insecure. She seems rational but full of emotions.

Especially in the last moments of her life, facing the fact that her dignity as a human being was being stripped away bit by bit by her illness, her inner anxiety had already accumulated to a critical point.

All these prompted her to "compare", and she needed to obtain emotional satisfaction through this repeated "comparison" to support her will, which was already on the verge of reaching its limit.

I knew this, I understood it when I saw her.

Keiko is about to collapse. She is trying to completely separate her rationality and sensibility, trying to maintain her sanity in this mechanical way. If she is not stopped from this behavior, she will definitely go to self-destruction in advance.

So, I deliberately said those words at that time...

I told her that there is no need to force yourself to make a choice, just continue to make it according to your idea.

Leave everything to me in the future, no matter what happens, no matter what the consequences are, I can settle it for you..."

The two walked to a bedroom on the second floor.

This is the bedroom where Miyano Shiho once lived.

There is a small bed against the wall, with certificates plastered all over the wall, and certificates stuffed in the drawer. Next to the bed is a small desk, and next to the desk is a not too big bookshelf.

In addition to some books on chemistry and medical knowledge, the bookshelf also neatly arranges a number of children's books such as fairy tales and fables.

When Miyano Shiho was still young, Shirakawa would ask Kiyoshi Shirakawa to take out one of the books every night before she went to bed, sit on the chair in front of the desk and tell her the story on it.

"She is so smart, didn't she realize what you were thinking at that time?"

Miyano Shiho walked into the room, raised her hand and touched the small desk that was already covered with dust, then turned her back to Shirakawa Kiyoshi who was standing at the door and asked.

"If it were Keiko in normal times, I definitely wouldn't be able to deceive her."

Leaning against the door frame, Bai Heqing lowered his head and smiled.

"But at that time, Keiko's condition was already very bad. Affected by the illness, her thinking ability had greatly deteriorated, and her sensitivity to these lies had also dropped a lot.

She would often fall into a deep sleep without realizing it, and by that time, she had almost lost the ability to think deeply. Any slightly complex thinking would make her fragile brain tired.

Rather, I was very surprised that she was able to plan an assassination attempt against Karasuma Renya under such circumstances, and even almost succeeded..."

"Bai He, at that time, did you know that she would do the things that happened later?"

Miyano Shiho still had her back to Shirakawa Kiyoshi. She opened the drawer of the small desk, which still contained some books, notes and stationery neatly arranged inside, just as they were when she left more than a year ago.

No, not exactly the same...

Because she is not a very well-behaved girl and never packs these things in a well-behaved manner.

Someone carefully sorted them out for her after she left...

His eyes suddenly became moist. Miyano Shiho raised his hand to wipe his eyes and took out a notebook from the drawer.

"To be honest, I don't know."

Bai Heqing thought carefully, shook his head and replied.

"I expected that Keiko might want me to deal with Renya Karasuma, but I had no idea what method she would use. If I had known her plan at the time, I would not have said those words to her... …”
