C106 Contract for Firebird True (1/2)

”Ha, ha, ha,” panted Bedivere, who was covered with wounds, without even checking how serious his injuries were, rushed over to the bottom of the pit and said, ”Did you really succeed?” It won't come out again, right? ”

The detection of the target's reaction to life was extremely low. It was in a state of dormant hypothermia. Lianyin replied mechanically.

”Did you finally fall asleep, damn bird?” Kaye kept cursing, and the sharp pain in his burned left arm made him irritable. He wished that he could directly shatter the frozen lake and have the Undead Bird shatter into countless small pieces amidst the ice.

”Well done, boy.” A voice sounded out in Bedivere's mind. That voice had no origin, no direction, as if it had drilled into Bedivere's brain through thin air.

”Who?!” Werewolf Boy looked around, but there was no movement. His sense of time was compressed as he spoke. He saw that the people around him were all moving slowly!

”Here you are frozen.” the voice replied.

”Undead Bird?!” Dammit, it still had its consciousness! Bedivere shouted, wanting to warn the others.

”Don't worry, I've used up all my energy, so I won't do anything for now.” The voice said, it sounded sincere and trustworthy.

”You -- to -- bottom -- in -- and -- who -- say -- words? -- what -- [No -- Dead -- Birds -- Also -- Meaning -- Consciousness? -- You -- On -- Play -- Laughter. ”Stop!” Eavan shouted from the side. His voice sounded ridiculous as it was compressed by time.

”To save Arthur …” An important friend. ”I need your blood to make the blood serum,” Bedivere said bluntly. ”

”Since ancient times, countless mortal men have hunted us just to obtain our blood to prolong our lives.” ”The Undead Bird disdained.

”To save a man, choose one: do you want to sacrifice your own life to save that man, or do you want to live without saving him?” ”

”What?!” ”Bedivere still hadn't understood the meaning of Undead Bird's words.

”Our power is not eternal. It is to maintain the balance of the world.” If one person was born because of this, then one person would definitely die because of it. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to save your loved ones? ”

”I —” She didn't know how to answer.

”Answer me!” The Undead Bird threatened, ”If you do not answer, we will immediately use our last magic and burn ourselves, and you will gain nothing!” ”

”Then...” Bedivere thought for a while, ”After saving Arthur, I must die immediately? This can't wait? I just want to see my brother again before I die. ”

”When the agreement is reached, we shall take down the fruit of your life. Before this, thou shalt live. The Undead Bird said.

Bedivere thought about this for a very long time as cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

— — Actually, he didn't want to die.

It was rare to see him again. It was a rare opportunity to redeem the sins of the past. To be happy. Those days when one wept in the dark, one did not want to experience them again.

It was just that he wanted to live. However —
