Chapter 684 Her sincerity
Su looked at the still calm Lilupal, "I know Zhen Ling is crazy, but you have no bottom line more than I expected."
Lilupal is really good at human nature and conspiracy. If it were made into a pot lamp, it would definitely be the most fuel-efficient one.
Sora developed a strong anger and disgust towards Lilupal because of what happened to the innocent Shirin and Shirui.
"You took on the appearance of Shirin and Shirui... just to pollute his morality and personality and to torture his soul."
"It was you who pushed Shireen to the position of a murderer and abused her mentally and physically, causing her to bear the infamy and be despised by hundreds of millions of people!"
"You are not worthy of bearing life, let alone being Shireen's mother."
"But I am her mother!" Lilupal laughed crazily. "Shirin is my most beloved daughter. The more I love her, the more I hate her, and the more cruelly I will take revenge on her."
Sue: "So, does everything you did for Xilin really make you happy?"
She didn't have the overly sensitive empathy that Sora had. Everything Lilupal told her was just a story that had passed and had nothing to do with her.
As a calm listener, she discovered a bit of sincerity wrapped in fanatical and paranoid hatred.
"I am very happy," Lilupal's voice was as sweet as honey, "the pleasure of successful revenge is like the sweetest wine."
Lilupal's voice lost its warmth, "Then the emptiness rose quickly, and my love for my daughter overflowed again."
The completion of revenge offset the hatred transformed from love, but unlike her love for Olmaz, which would no longer exist after it disappeared, her love for her daughter was like a stream, small but endless.
Su Lu showed an expression that said, "Finally, there is a secret I can solve!" "In "The Story of Xirui and Xilin", the town spirit who tells the story is actually you."
The town spirit in the story told the shepherd boy that perhaps Shireen was imprisoned in a magic bottle by Achmar.
Perhaps wandering in the desert, entangled with ignorant adventurers.
Perhaps he is tirelessly searching for his beloved son who has fallen into the dark world.
"But it was Lilupal that was split apart by Achmar and imprisoned in the magic bottle."
"It was Lilupal who was obsessed with the shepherd boy and pestered him to tell stories."
"Looking for your beloved son who fell into the dark world... Do you plan to atone for your sins with them later?"
Lilupal admitted, "The fragments collected today retain the feelings and memories related to the city of Gul. If I am woken up occasionally and am not in a bad mood, I will tell some stories from the past and let them be carried away by the wind and sand to the distance."
As for atonement...
"I am innocent, my Lord. I am a town spirit and do not have to follow human principles. Everything I do comes from my heart."
"Kisla, Shirin, and Shirui are all my blood. I punished them all with bloody plots, honey-like punishments, and violent ambitions."
"I just... miss them so much. My children are still there, and she and Xirui... must be lonely."
Su sneered, "Your love is too cheap! And I don't think Shilin and Shirui would want to see you."
Lilupal was silent for a moment, "It doesn't matter, I am willing to face all the retribution."
"After arriving at the Eternal Oasis and meeting the mistress, I will stay in Gul City to fulfill my mission."
After Lilupal's story was told, Su used it and threw it aside.
Seeing his friend staring at the starry sky without saying anything, Su reached out and poked the sky.
Sue: "Don't be sad, it's all someone else's story in the past."
Sora: "I know, I just..."
Sora sighed.
When one thinks about how so many innocent people have shed blood and lost their lives because of Crazy Zhen Ling's selfishness, one can't help but feel sympathy and sadness.
"We can't change the past, but at least we can clear Shireen's name." Su took out a special video camera, "I've recorded the secret that Lilupal just told me on video."
She originally wanted to record the story, but now it can be used as proof that the murderer behind the scenes has confessed the truth.
Kong felt much more relaxed. He was a person with an open mind, stable emotions and good at adjusting himself.
Seeing that his friend finally had a smile on his face, Su decided not to listen to any weird conspiracy stories anymore.
"Look how scared our Paimon is... I forgot that the history of Gul City is very cruel." Su thought about it and simply put the blame on Lilupal. "No, it should be Lilupal's fault for not giving us an early warning! What he did was a conspiracy that destroyed my worldview."
Su went into the Dust Song Pot and took a look, only to find that Paimon had fallen asleep.
After she came out, Sora looked at the sky and said, "It's already late. Why hasn't Tadella come yet?"
So Sora stayed behind while Su went to find Tadella, and came back not long after.
Sora asked with concern, "How is Tadella?"
Tadla is the friendliest and most friendly person the traveler team has met since coming to the Tanit tribe.
"I don't know," Sue replied, "I didn't see her. Her father, the uncle with the injured eye, said she took some medicine and was resting."
Kong: "As long as she's okay, Su, you can go to Chen Ge Hu to rest. I'll be on guard today."
Perhaps because the workload of cleaning up the dust was too heavy, Jade and Asarig still did not return the next day.
The group of travelers spent the afternoon before removing the barrier and going out for a walk, and immediately a stranger came running over.
The other party claimed to be Marcela's daughter and said that Tadella asked them to meet in the square in front of the ruins of Gur city.
Paimon was confused. "You and Tadella are sisters? But you don't look alike at all, and we've never heard Tadella say she has a sister."
Marcela's daughter: "I was adopted. My talent is generally not as good as Tadella's. It's normal that you haven't heard her mention it."
"You guys go quickly, Tadella has been waiting there since early morning."
Kong and Paimon were afraid of hurting others and worried that Tadella would get anxious, so they stopped asking questions and walked out of the tribe with Su.
While the travelers were leaving, the sentries were distracted by them one by one, and Marcela's daughter quietly walked out of the tribe through the path.
Everything went smoothly at first, but as she approached the next junction outside the tribe, Spears crossed in front of her and two guards came out from their hiding places.
——*——*——
"It turns out that person didn't lie to us. Tadella is really here," Paimon waved to the figure standing in the distance waiting, "Tadella, we are here!"
Su noticed that the bandage on Tadella's arm was still bleeding. "Your poison and injuries haven't been cured at all! I reminded you yesterday to remember to ask me for treatment."
But just as Su Gang raised her hand to cast a healing water ring, Tadella rejected her by taking a step back.
Sora had a premonition, "Tadella?"
Tadella looked towards the horizon in the distance. "I always think the sunset here is beautiful. The sun is like a bright fireball, turning the sky and sand dunes into golden red."
She often comes here when she has free time and watches the sun slowly set with her imaginary friends.
Now that she finally had real friends, she no longer had the chance to watch the sunset with them.
Paimon also began to feel that something was wrong. "Tadella...did you call us here just for this?"
"You are the prey chosen by my father for me."
The metal longbow extended from Tadla's palm, and the arrows condensed from wind were aimed at the group of travelers.
"But I sincerely hope that it is you who survive."
