Zhou Lin - Chapter 251 Final Chapter Redemption

2220, one day in May.

Early morning on the outskirts of Naples.

A man in a black suit slowly walked into a small and quiet cemetery.

Holding a rose in his hand, he stopped in front of a tombstone.

Then he stood there silently for a long time.

It wasn’t until the morning dew faded and the sun shone on his shoulders that he knelt down on one knee and placed the rose in his hand on the unnamed tombstone in front of him.

Then, he left without saying a word, just as when he came.

…………

That night.

Jack Anderson came to the palace of the Sixth Empire alone.

Sneaking into this place wouldn’t be difficult for him – even the best defense systems in the world wouldn’t function properly in stopped time.

In his opinion, the real hard part comes after the infiltration.

Jack had investigated in advance and found out that the guards on duty in the palace tonight were Kaijiu and Gungui. Even Jack didn’t know how strong these two people were and what their abilities were.

But this worry did not bother him for long.

Because he soon discovered that these two people were not there at all…

He didn’t know why, but he didn’t have time to think about it.

In this way, he came all the way to the throne and came to Zi Lin.

Not long after, the blade of his hidden sword was pressed against Zi Lin’s throat.

Jack really planned to take action, at least at the moment when the Hidden Blade was released, he didn’t hesitate at all.

But at the end, he caught something fleeting in Zi Lin’s eyes… which made his hand stop.

He calmed down.

Then, he woke up from the sense of ritual Zi Lin set for him.

Therefore, he put his hidden blade back again.

What are you doing? Zi Lin saw this and immediately sneered, Ha… Now that things have happened, you must be afraid, right?

Forget it, I already understand it. Jack continued, Just give up.

What are you talking about? Zi Lin frowned coldly.

You had already reached this point when you sent Wu Mian to Meng Zhenhan’s side, right? Jack said.

Zi Lin didn’t answer this.

The absence of Kaijiu and Gungui tonight was also arranged by yourself. Jack continued, And you deliberately pretended not to know that they were not here, and said those words just now to stimulate me. He paused. After a pause, he finally said what Zi Lin really meant, You… really want me to kill you here, right?

Zi Lin’s expression changed, and the pretended coldness disappeared from his face, turning into his usual joking and slightly indifferent expression: Tch… I was just a tiny bit away from succeeding.

Juan Zun has been eliminated, the dynasty has been established, and the leaders of the resistance organizations have been replaced with controllable clones, so you think it’s okay for you to withdraw now, and you think… Jack said, …Your death can be your last act of resistance against Tianyi.

Can’t you help me? Zi Lin asked.

Why me? Jack asked.

Because you are the God of Killing. Zi Lin said.

You think it’s honorable to be killed by me? Jack said.

It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s an honor. Zi Lin said.

But I don’t want to kill you today. Jack said.

Why? Zi Lin said.

Because I don’t want you to get what you want. Jack said.

Do you hate me so much? Zi Lin spread his hands and said, Yes, I was the one who planned everything between you in Naples and Qian Ming back then, and I was regarded by you as the only one on the road to redemption. The woman who gave you a life-saving straw was the one I sent to you and let die in front of you; it was also I who killed Uncle Xue, who had the same goals as you… But these are not personal grudges; on the contrary, even if they are, you are not Should they kill me to avenge them?

If these are personal grudges between you and me, then there are too many people in the world who have personal grudges with you. Jack continued.

This world deserves this. After Zilin said this, he returned to the throne, directly picked up the wine bottle put aside, and drank a few sips of red wine for himself, I said: Jue Sheng Abandon wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundredfold; abandon benevolence, and the people will return to filial piety; discard profits, and there will be no thieves… What you and Uncle Xue believe, although very beautiful, is sweet poison and beauty to this world. Lies… The things I do may be hated and reviled by some people, but other people and everyone in the next era… will one day feel the meaning behind these things.

When he said this, he picked up the wine bottle again and drank all the remaining wine in the bottle.

If you don’t kill me today, I will continue to do this in the future. Zi Lin said, You know me, I have no personal grudges with anyone, and I will not change my approach for personal emotional reasons. This is also The reason Tianyi chose me.”

Yeah. Jack nodded after hearing this, Didn’t you already tell half of the reason why I didn’t kill you?

Oh? Zi Lin put down the bottle, You mean…

Out of righteousness, I hope you can continue to do this in the future. Jack continued, Out of trivial matters, or at the level of personal grudges, I think letting you continue to live is a crueler way than killing you. revenge.

When he said this, he had completely restrained his murderous and fighting intentions, and turned around without any defense.

Zi Lin looked at his back and didn’t say anything to stop him, but there was a little disappointment on his face.

Whether you are a tyrant or a wise king…it doesn’t matter to me anymore. Jack said, walking out of the court, After all, how the history books record you, how people interpret you, and how you yourself What you think, what people around you judge, and what the objective truth is… are never the same thing.

“Emperors, kings, generals, prime ministers… will eventually be saved by a merciful and equal death.

Achievement, fault, destruction, reputation… will also be distorted by the cold and eternal time.

You said we are all guilty.

Then let us each spend the rest of our lives repaying it, and just hope that we will never interact with each other again.
