After a few seconds, Merlin, who had returned from the dream, reached out to pick it up, and he looked at the number that was beating on the screen, and he put his phone in his ear.

After a moment of silence, he said:

"I thought we had nothing to say."

"Of course there is!"

Pierce's husky voice came from the other side of his phone, he said:

"I still haven't given up on my efforts."

"effort?"

Merlin looked at the fire that broke out from the screen of the TV in front of her. At Louise's interview site, a thug lit an apartment and the fire rose into the sky.

He said calmly:

"Do you work hard to destroy the world?"

"It's to protect it!"

Pierce's voice was filled with a stubbornness, he said:

"It will always worsen before things get better, but the chaos in this city is suppressed every minute and every second. The criminals are fighting stubbornly, but they are already forced into desperate situations."

"This is their last madness!"

"I didn't see it."

Merlin modulated the sound of the phone and threw it on the coffee table. He said:

"I only see the peaceful city turning into a battlefield, and the swaying fears are forced to the chaotic side."

"The person who once vowed to protect became a destroyer, and the protected ones could only cry helplessly in the ignited flame."

"One city becomes a battlefield, another city is about to become hell, and this is all because you are doing it recklessly!"

"I didn't see you protecting order, nor did I see you trying to rebuild it."

“I only saw the destruction…”

"Pearce, I only see chaos coming. Is this the new order you are pursuing?"

Merlin shook his head and said sarcastically:

"So shit!"

"Patient, Merlin."

Pierce wasn't angry, he explained:

“Any greatness takes time.”

"You have also been a member of this system, and you also know that this system of order is not a caterpillar. It fades, is pale, and falls behind. It will not form a cocoon on its own, and then turn into a butterfly and become more beautiful!"

"It has no vitality, someone has to push it, it has to die once before it can be reborn in the flames ignited by us!"

"Come back, Merlin."

The old man said in a sincere tone:

"When I came back and stood with me, the Raccoon City thing was an accident, and it felt sad and painful."

"But you see, after your s.d.o.l.d. and insight system are combined, we easily control the situation."

"In just a few hours, we saved 600,000 people! This proves that when we stand together, we are enough to push the world!"

"You are a believer of order, and so are I. We all have an obsession to make the world better and more perfect. We are born allies."

"Merlin, come back, we can fulfill our common ideals together."

Pierce stopped, he said:

"Look, there is something wrong with my plan, unexpected problems, which means I can't do all this alone, and I need help."

"I need your help! I will give you all the power in my hands, and you will turn bad things into good things."

"You will turn the tide as hard as before and become the hero of saving this country and this continent..."

"You are insulting me now because you empathize with it. Watching a city experience the torture of change, it makes you feel pain, it is a good character."

"But I know, deep down, you understand... After the chaos is over, something better will be born."

"This is a decisive moment, Merlin, this city, this country, this world, it has come to the brink of order coming, and we only need a light push!"

"The new world we long for will come!"

"After seeing hell coming, you will long for returning to the world, indulging freedom and comfortable safety, after all, you can only choose the same... You and I know how the people protected by us will choose."

"You know, that's right!"

"If you still feel fooled, if you feel pain, then it's no big deal for me to give you my life!"

"Come on, Merlin!"

The old man emphasized his tone:

"I have set up all the stages for you, and I will also bear all the guilt, take my life, let me make compensation for past deception and concealment, and then you will do what I should do for me..."

"You will be a hero, and you will be my best heir!"

"I've arranged everything for you."

"I beg you to accept it!"

“…”

Pierce's words silenced Merlin.

After more than ten seconds, he sighed and said:

"What's wrong with you? All of you..."

"I don't need it, nor do I want it, Pierce, I used to do a lot for order, but I have a conscience and I can tell right from wrong besides the desire to be undestroyed."

"This is wrong, you are doing something wrong!"

"Ideals are not your reason to destroy the world and hurt others; and whether the perfect order in your heart is good or not is not your final decision."

"What's the difference between you and the thugs that ravaged the city?"

"Pearce, if I choose to walk with you, then what's the difference between me and you?"

Merlin coughed a few times, and he said:

"Many people insult me ​​as a conspirator with cruel means, but I know, I'm not, I'm not blind, I'm not drunk, I still know what's right and what's wrong."

"I refuse!"

"Pearce, I will destroy everything you have worked so hard to create, I swear!"

"Wait for me in your hiding place, I will pass by soon."

Merlin stood up, he stretched out his fingers, and a green ray burst out from his fingertips, annihilated a superhuman thug who was howling and flying through the sky on the spot.

The windbreaker behind him floated up at this moment, and the blood-red cane jumped into his hand.

He said:

"I saved you with my own hands, Pierce. I don't know if that was another conspiracy you arranged, but now it doesn't matter."

"I have released a terrible mistake with my own hands, and now, I will solve it and everything it has made with my own hands."

"Pearce, we were friends, best friends..."

"But now, we are not!"

A sharp blade rose in Merlin's heart, cutting off all worries at this moment.

In an increasingly cold voice, he said:

“Today, we…”

"Grate is cut off and righteousness is cut off!"

"Then..."
Chapter completed!
