Chapter 7 Cowardice and Liberation

It was late at night, and the black SUV was speeding on the road. Colson took the ashes and left the street that had just experienced the war. The subsequent work was handled by the professional logistics department.

The bored Hui Jin looked at the stars in the sky. It was really beautiful. There was no such thing as stars in the world of black souls. It had been a long time since he had seen the faint starlight.

Coulson, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was hesitant to speak. His eyes glanced at Hui Jin who was sitting next to him from time to time. The keen Hui Jin had already noticed that Coulson was looking at him, but he never spoke.

Hui Jin felt a little uncomfortable and panicked, "What's the matter with you?" Hui Jin couldn't help it and asked.

Coulson let out a sigh of relief, "Mr. Ash, your armor, those two different sets of armor look very similar."

Turns out I wanted to ask about the black knight armor and the silver knight armor.

"That's what you want to ask? They looked the same before. The black one was exactly the same as the silver one."

Coulson asked curiously, "Then how did it become like that?"

"The Silver Knights wore armor to conquer demons. The demon's flames burned their armors and deformed them, turning them into black knights, knights dedicated to conquering demons."

Coulson heard the voiceover of some of the words, and asked in surprise, "You mean, there are many people who can control such huge weapons in your place, and they are organized into groups?"

Shrugging, Ashes nodded, "It's not too much, but it's not too little, but it doesn't end well in the end. Almost all the knights turned into wandering spirits."

"Is the wandering spirit the soul-eating monster you mentioned that can only attack others?" Coulson's memory is still good, and it is difficult to ask this question well.

Ashes thought for a while, thinking of the knights he met on the road to spreading fire, the black knight who was still hunting demons under the smoky beard, and the silver knight who had been patrolling and protecting Anor Londo, even though the most beautiful transvestite in their hearts was already gone.

Their king was eaten and turned into fuel long ago.

"More or less, but the knights still remember their original mission. Even if they become wandering spirits, the silver knights still protect the residence of the gods, and the black knights still hunt demons."

Coulson thought of Ashes wearing two sets of armor. "You have two sets of knight's armor, so were you also a silver knight or a black knight before?"

Ashes shook his head, "No, I have their armor because... I took it from them after I killed them."

Fury, who was eavesdropping on the other side, also narrowed his one eye slightly. This mysterious guy couldn't have been a villain in his previous location. His decision may have been a bit hasty. He secretly passed the earphone in Coulson's ear.

convey orders.

"Colson, carefully inquire about his background. First determine his previous position, whether he is a villain or a good guy."

Coulson was also so frightened by Ashes' words that he almost drove his car into a ditch. He looked at Ashes in surprise, "Hey, the knights you mentioned have been protecting the gods and hunting demons, why do you want to kill them?"

There was no change in Ashes' expression. Even though Coulson and Fury were beginning to suspect that he was a bad person, "Why? No why, even if they are still sticking to their mission, they have become wandering spirits. They need to

Clean up the cancer.”

Coulson nodded. He could accept this explanation. He remembered the order he had just received and wanted to find out more about Ashes.

"I've always wanted to ask you, Mr. Ash, what do you mean by spreading fire, fuel, and embers before?"

Turning his head and looking at Coulson seriously, Hui Jing was hesitating whether he needed to tell the agent in front of him about these things. If this person knew, it meant that Fury would know. No one knew if bad people would use these things.

To deal with yourself. You must know that SHIELD is not a very safe place. The villain organization Hydra has always been lurking in SHIELD.

But then I thought about it, even if they knew, what would happen? Can Hydra and the others find the mud of the abyss or get the power of the ancient dragon? Pull them down.

Ashes slowly said, "The world I was in before is about to be destroyed. If we want to save that world, we need to burn powerful souls one after another to add fuel to the world so that the world can continue to survive. This

The process is called spreading fire.”

"Uh...it turns out to be such a great thing." Coulson was shocked by the scene described by Ashes. Burning souls to keep the world alive, isn't this saving the world?

"No! This is not a great thing. This process is like a slow poison in front of a person who is about to die of thirst. Drinking it will not make you die of thirst, but it will indeed make yourself worse. It is a very sad thing.

Those who are selected to take on the mission of spreading the fire are the salary kings, but... not every salary king is willing to pass the fire."

The Nether Saint and the Twin Princes are not Xinwang who actively want to spread the fire. They are just kidnapped by the mission of spreading the fire just because they have strong souls.

Coulson nodded with deep understanding, "Well, not everyone has the courage to devote themselves to the world. So if those who are unwilling to spread the fire don't spread the fire, won't your world be facing destruction?

"

"Yes, but the world will also save itself. Whenever the people who need to spread the fire are unwilling to spread the fire, the ashes will be awakened from the cemetery, kill those Xin Wangs, and let themselves carry their souls to replace the Xin Wangs.

Dedicate their souls.”

Coulson remembered that the name "Ash" in Ashes' self-introduction turned out to be not Ash. It turned out that the person in front of him was such an existence.

"Then you are the awakened ashes, right? Did you also kill those salary kings and then donate your soul?"

Ashes unexpectedly shook his head, "I am Ashes who was awakened. I also killed King Xin who didn't want to spread the fire, but I didn't choose to dedicate myself."

"Hey, why, aren't you willing to save your world too?"

"That's not the case. Do you know how many times I have experienced spreading fire this time? For about 100,000 years, whenever the first fire is about to go out, I need to spread the fire. The specific number of times cannot be counted. Just like

What I just said is a matter of drinking doves to quench thirst. When it was my turn, the vast majority of people in this world had become wandering souls, and there were not even one person who still had their own will. In addition,

The Abyss began a large-scale invasion, and I began to wonder, is such a world really worth saving?"

Coulson swallowed and asked, "So, what did you do in the end?"

Ashes recalled the scene when he and the fireproof girl extinguished the first fire, "I, I just watched the flames go out in front of my eyes. I destroyed that world with my own hands, and freed this painful and struggling world with my own hands."

Colson was silent. If Ashes' description was correct and he did not deceive himself, then he would not have any position to condemn him, and his decision could not be said to be wrong.

Fury, who was eavesdropping, also fell silent. It was neither right nor wrong. It was a contradictory choice. He asked himself, if his world is about to be destroyed now, and the way to make it continue to exist is in his own hands, he is

Let it continue to live like this in an ignoble way or end its suffering like this.

The two professional agents fell into silence because of Hui Jin's words. After all, no matter how powerful or professional the agents are, they are only human beings.

The car fell into silence. Coulson and Fury were both judging the authenticity of what Ashes said and were immersed in the painful world described by Ashes.

Ashes himself began to regret whether he had gone too far in pretending to be so great and noble. He was just following the wishes of the fire prevention woman and was just a person who listened to his wife. He had no description of himself at all.
