Chapter 982 Return


    “Damn it!”


    Joel rushed forward and knocked heavily on the door in front of him - naturally without reaction.


    And behind, looking at Joel''s helpless appearance, the girls didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    "Mr. Duanmu, should we do something?"


    "do what?"


    Hearing Mary''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai turned his head to look at her, and the latter was silent for a moment.


    "I...I don''t know either, but... is it really correct to do this?"


    "certainly."


    Duanmu Huai nodded.


    "It''s obvious that Ellie knows her fate, and she hasn''t mentioned it to us along the way, which means she has made a choice. As a judge, I admire her spirit of sacrifice. Apart from that, at least at this point, I have nothing to do."


    "But Mr. Joel doesn''t seem to see that."


    “I saw it too.”


    Looking at Joel who was knocking on the door desperately, Duanmu Huai''s face was slightly dark. He had almost guessed what the core problem in this world was.


    Joel is unwilling to let Ellie die.


    This is actually very normal. Although Duanmu Huai has not been with them for a long time, it can be seen that the two of them still have some feelings.


    but………


    “Damn it!”


    Seeing that he couldn''t open the door, Joel waved his fist angrily, then turned around to Duanmuhuai''s side.


    "You will help me, right? Didn''t you say there is something wrong with the Savior Army?"


    "I did say so, but if what they said was true and Ellie was indeed the only savior to save humanity in this world, then I would not stop them."


    "Why!"


    "Because the goal of the Inquisition is to protect humanity!"


    Duanmuhuai reached out and grabbed Joel and lifted him up.


    "It is naturally reasonable to sacrifice Ellie to save all mankind! If the Salvation Army can really use Ellie to create a vaccine that will threaten human immune viruses, the Inquisition has no reason to stop it! Instead, what do you want to do? Do you want to let humans perish in order to save that girl?"


    "You don''t understand!"


    Joel angrily punched Duanmuhuai on the breastplate.


    "Damn it! I''ve experienced that period, the time when the virus just broke out... At that time, I wanted to escape with my daughter, but I was not sick, nor did my daughter! She just had her leg broken, and we just needed help! But those soldiers didn''t care about this. They killed my daughter because they suspected that we were infected! But what happened? In the end, the world turned into this ghost! Who can guarantee that the Salvation Army will definitely use the bacteria in Ellie''s body to create a vaccine? What if they fail?"


    "Well said it, what if they succeed?"


    Duanmuhuai stared at Joel, and Joel also stared at Duanmuhuai.


    "I won''t let Ellie sacrifice, she is just a victim of those adults!"


    As he said, Joel pushed hard and fell to the ground. Then he glared at Duanmu Huai and others fiercely, and turned around and left.


    I won’t give up!


    Walking into the alley next to him, Joel gritted his teeth. He would never let those people kill Ellie... He could not let them take Ellie away from his own hands like they killed their daughter! In any case, he must come up with a solution and sneak into that secret institution. There must be a solution...


    “Bang!”


    However, at this moment, the gunshot suddenly sounded, and the next moment, Joel''s head was directly lifted by the impact. He widened his eyes, staggered forward and staggered for a few steps, then fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.


    Immediately afterwards, Jia Wei''s figure emerged from behind.


    "Don''t blame me, uncle."


    Put away the guns at hand and look at the corpse in front of him. Jiawei smiled.


    "This is the master''s order. The Inquisition will not allow anyone to interfere with the plan to save humanity... No matter what reason you have, but in this way, you may be able to meet Ellie again in that world. Think about it carefully, maybe this is a good thing?"


    As the words fell, Jia Wei''s figure disappeared the next moment. When the guards who heard the gunshot arrived, there was only a man''s body left in front of them.


    "Master, the task is completed." Jia Wei returned to Duanmuhuai with a smile and gave a report.


    "Sure enough, just like the master, you think. Mr. Joel does not intend to give up, and he also wants to find an opportunity to rescue Miss Ellie."


    "I knew he wouldn''t give up..."


    Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, you should know that this is a fragmented world, which means that this world has been destroyed once. Then the problem comes. As of now, although there are various problems in this world, humans can still exist. So why is this world completely destroyed in the end?


    In Duanmuhuai''s opinion, the reason is likely to be Joel and Ellie, and it is obvious that if he did not stop it. Then Joel will rescue Ellie, and humans will lose the only chance to cure viral infection, and will eventually be destroyed - if this is true, then Joel will be the culprit of destroying humans. Since this is the case, then Duanmu Huai will naturally not be able to keep him.


    Although generally speaking, from common sense, it is impossible for Joel to rescue Ellie from this heavily guarded underground shelter and leave, what if this guy has the halo of the protagonist? So for the sake of caution, Duanmu Huai still ordered Jiawei to execute him just in case - in this regard, the Inquisition would never have any kindness.


    "Why………"


    Mary sighed silently. Although she had not been with these people for a long time, she had some feelings. At this moment, when I think that Joel is dead, I can''t help feeling a little complicated. But thinking about it carefully... sacrificing one person to save the world, or saving one person to sacrifice the world... is indeed a rather embarrassing question.


    Mary felt that if she encountered such a problem, she would definitely be in a difficult situation. After all, her personality could be saved.


    But...If you save Ellie, you have to give up all humanity... The pressure is too great.


    From this point of view, Duanmu Huai was decisive and first killed Joel and eliminated an uncertain factor, well...


    "Mr. Duanmu, what should we do next?"


    "Well... First, let''s find out whether this antidote is true, and then investigate the relationship between the Savior Army and the mutants."


    "But Mr. Duanmu, have you found a problem?"


    Mary hesitated for a moment and spoke.


    "If... the Salvation Army is the mastermind behind turning humans into mutants, and also creating an antidote to cure the virus, what should we do? If we eliminate the Salvation Army, then it would be equal to giving up the understanding of the medicine? In this way, isn''t Ellie''s sacrifice in vain? Even if we grab the antidote, no one among us... seems to know this, right?"


    "You don''t have to worry about this."


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand.


    "If Ellie''s fate is really the core of changing the world, then as long as the fate of this world changes, I can open the portal and return to the Inquisition. At that time, I can bring Sydney - her skills in this area are first-class. By that time, even without the Salvation Army, our Inquisition can save humans in this world."


    "But what if it''s not?"


    "Then... I can only say that I have bad luck."


    Duanmu Huai shrugged helplessly, and Mary mentioned the key point, assuming that Ailly''s sacrifice is indeed the core of changing the fate of the world. If not, then Ellie would die in vain, and Duanmu Huai made a wrong choice. If Duanmuhuai can open the door now, then he believes that with the biochemical technology on Sydney, there will definitely be a better way, and maybe even let Ellie survive.


    But the problem is that if Ellie doesn''t die now, she may not be able to change the fate of the world, and Duanmu Huai cannot open the door... So this is basically a vicious cycle.


    Duanmu Huai just sighed for a moment and didn''t think much about it. In fact, many tasks received by the judge player are of this kind. Many times you have to compromise and choose between sacrificing an innocent person and sacrificing a group of innocent people in exchange for greater security. Duanmu Huai has also experienced many tasks like this.


    By the way, Duanmu Huai also investigated the problem of mutants, and the result was simpler than he thought. Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that according to the nature of the Savior Army, he would do some experiments to cover up people or report missing people. Unexpectedly, all the residents in this city knew that the Salvation Army had the ability to turn people into mutants. In fact, those who committed crimes in this city were basically arrested by the Salvation Army and transformed into mutants who only obey orders. This is one of the reasons why this city is so peaceful... Well, now it seems that such a well-known thing does not require further investigation.


    So after that, Duanmuhuai took everyone back to the train and told Liumier and Aycler about the incident. Sure enough, they were also very excited to hear that Ailie was going to sacrifice herself, but in the face of this choice of saving one person or saving the world, they... were equally helpless.


    Now, I can only wait.


    Time passes minute by minute.


    Duanmuhuai sat on the chair, staring at her fingers, and the other girls also sat uneasy, staring at Duanmuhuai - According to time, Ally should have started the operation at this time, extracting the bacteria in her body and starting to make vaccines. If everything goes well, then the fate of this world will be completely changed because of the sacrifice of this girl...


    But if there is no change...


    For a moment, staring at Duanmu Huai''s fingers, everyone''s mood was a little complicated. They also couldn''t say whether they wanted this or did not want this. Duanmu Huai just stared at his fingers without saying a word.


    After all, he is the judge and he has made a decision, so the results of this decision will naturally be borne by Duanmu Huai.


    “Bang!”


    I don’t know how long it took, Duanmu Huai suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Then, everyone saw a portal unfolding in front of them. Seeing this familiar portal, the girls'' mood was a little complicated...


    "Okay, it''s useless to stay here."


    Duanmuhuai stood up while talking.


    “Ellie did what she could do, and it’s our turn next.”
