Chapter 310 Jane
The open space outside the mill was brightly lit. Leila held a huge bottle of potion and poured it over Lilith's head. The sizzling sound made her teeth ache, but her sister in front of her did not react at all, just staring straight ahead.
The gargoyle carried a bloody body out of the bushes and placed it in the middle of the clearing. Lulu took one look and burst into tears. Bobby seemed to have his soul sucked out. He knelt in front of the body, whose internal organs had been hollowed out, and he couldn't even cry.
"Why don't you leave? Why are you trying to be brave against these things? Where's your slug flower?!" Leila said hatefully, and fiercely stripped off the light armor on Lilith's body. The flesh inside seemed to be burned by flames. She poured the potion on her again without any care, and pried open her mouth, trying to pour the healing potion into her.
"No! No way--!" Lulu's crying suddenly became louder.
Regardless of his own injuries, Bobby threw himself on Sean's body to stop the newcomers, his eyes red, "How can you burn him? How can you burn him? Only those who have committed serious crimes will be burned at the stake. What did he do wrong?!"
The young man in front of him placed his hand heavily on Bobby's shoulder. "Believe me, we all understand how you feel... But the Void Beast will leave its eggs in human flesh and blood when it hunts, nourishing its offspring with human blood. Those eggs are difficult to remove and they develop quickly, so burning them is the best option."
"...What void beast! No, no!" Bobby still couldn't accept this. He held Sean's stiff body tightly and refused to let go. He looked around in the crowd and suddenly found Catherine approaching. He shouted as if he had found a tranquilizer -
"Catherine! Catherine! Please! You are the princess! Please stop them!" Bobby looked at the student union president who always smiled and solved problems for everyone with pleading eyes.
Catherine's eyes were filled with sadness, but she still shook her head firmly, "Bobby, let go..."
Bobby stared at Catherine in front of him, as if he didn't understand why she didn't stand on his side at this moment. He repeated stupidly: "This is Sean, this is Sean..."
They always study and train together on weekdays, don't they?
Catherine turned her head reluctantly and saw the familiar golden hair in her pupils, looking at her blankly.
Catherine couldn't look directly into Lilith's eyes. It was the first time she saw Lilith, who was always full of energy, optimistic and cheerful, become like this. Her head and face were covered with the blood of the void beast. Now, after being washed by the potion, she became a miserable bloody person. It was almost unrecognizable what she originally looked like.
She should have comforted her, should have explained it to her.
Catherine opened her mouth, but she was talking to Leila, "Take good care of your sister. We need to continue to check several other weak points. After you send them away, take an inventory of the damage to the grain in the mill."
After saying that, she turned around and quickly left Icewind Mill amid the crying of Lulu and Bobby.
Most of the people evacuated quickly as they did when the Tathagata came, leaving only a small team to deal with the aftermath to prevent the corpse of the Void Beast from contaminating more land. Lilith stared at Catherine's back until her team left the hill, then turned her head and looked at the figure squatting beside the body of the Void Beast, skillfully digging open its belly, pulling out the eggs, crushing them and burning them.
"Senior Jane...?" Lilith confirmed uncertainly.
The short-haired female warrior who was busy dissecting the Void Beast was stunned and turned her head in surprise, but Lilith looked too embarrassed and had changed too much from the noble lady in the first grade, so she did not recognize who she was.
"...Where's senior Tina? And Todd..." Lilith didn't know what she looked like, so she just asked to herself.
The mention of these names made Jane silent for a moment. Although she did not recognize who the schoolgirls in front of her were, it was obvious that she was very familiar with them after hearing these names.
"Dead." Jane's answer was very simple. "All dead."
She ignored Lilith and turned around to continue struggling with the corpse of the Void Beast. Two huge fires had already started on the side, one for burning the Void Beast, and the other... was left for Sean.
Bobby still refused to let go. He no longer had the strength to scream due to excessive blood loss and refusing treatment. The cold wind blew into his wounds and he held the cold corpse against his chest. He was shaking even as he leaned against the fire.
A guardian behind him raised his sword towards his partner, indicating whether to knock him out, but the partner shook his head, "Let him watch, otherwise he will regret missing the chance to send him off for the rest of his life."
Jane and several other guardians finally dismantled the void beasts, crushed the beast eggs and threw them into the fire. Then she stood up and walked towards her guardian descendants.
"let go."
That was a cold and hard look that was completely different from what Lilith remembered.
"--As a guardian, you didn't protect him well when he was alive. What's the point of crying now that he's gone? Do you always remember your oath as a guardian?" Jane's words were cold and ruthless, hurting Bobby's heart every time.
"Your tears can't bring back his life. Live, become stronger, avenge him, and kill all those void beasts. That's what you should do." There were two blazing flames burning in Jane's eyes. These words were not just for Bobby. She also comforted herself in this way during countless nights of regret.
She bent down, pulled Sean's body out of Bobby's arms, and with the help of others, threw it into the magic flame, and it turned into nothingness in an instant.
Bobby couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
"We are lucky. The food is neither damaged nor contaminated." A senior guardian walked out of the mill with a destroyed gate and said, "The team stationed here should have left after seeing the distress signal from the Alterac Outpost. Maybe we missed it, or maybe--"
They exchanged glances.
"Let's go along this path towards Alterac Outpost. We need to confirm everything to prevent any omissions." Jane made the decision immediately, and the others in the team nodded in agreement.
"Are all your slug flowers here?" She turned to look at the younger generations who had been so reckless. After seeing a few of them nod, she looked at Leila again, "Please make sure they leave before returning to the team, Miss Leila."
"Please don't worry." Leila was as calm as an adult.
The group said no more and left in a hurry just like Catherine did when she left.
"Why..." Lilith grabbed Leila's hand.
