Chapter 22: Zoe, Kill Me! (Please collect!)
[You stayed on the invisible island for two days. With Anna and Togo by your side, your days were not boring. ]
[Perhaps the term “all things are friendly” worked. You and Anna quickly became close in these two days. ]
[The progress was so fast that it was unbelievable to you. ]
[She is no longer as shy and introverted as before. Occasionally, she will take off her hood and talk and laugh with you and Togo. ]
[Your progress was seen by Stheno and Euryale who were hiding in the dark. They finally put their minds at ease. ]
[In Stheno’s opinion, you and Anna have become friends. You can’t be cruel enough to kill Anna, right? ]
[In fact, you never thought of killing Anna. ]
[You didn’t think so at the beginning. ]
[Anna is innocent. From the beginning to the end, she was just the persecuted party. You have no reason to attack her. 】
【What you want to do is to change Anna’s fate. 】
【”Fate can be changed.” 】
【You often tell Anna that nothing is absolute and that man can conquer nature. 】
【Anna smiles and agrees with you: “It really sounds like what a hero would say. Only a meaningless hero would dare to raise the banner of resistance against fate, right?” 】
【”It’s a pity that I’m not a hero.” 】
【These two days, every night, the bright moon always drives away the sun and hangs high in the sky early. 】
【The bright moonlight shines on the invisible island and also illuminates Anna’s soft and delicate features. 】
【The girl lowered her head and looked at the burning flames in front of her. 】
【The pair of violet eyes contained emotions that were difficult to guess. 】
【”Zoe.”】
【Anna called your name softly. You were about to reply, but you were caught off guard by the girl’s words. 】
【”You are here to kill me, right?”】
【”Anna, why do you think so? We are friends, how could I kill you?”】
【A moment of surprise flashed across your face. Although you concealed it well, Anna still caught it. 】
【”Maybe I guessed wrong.”】
【The soft voice was calm, as if she was talking about what to eat tonight. 】
【Anna looked up and smiled brightly: “Zoe, I don’t want to change my fate.”】
【She said so. 】
[“Why?”]
[You are puzzled and can only try your best to explain: “I’m really not here to kill you, I…….”]
[“I know, Zoe.”]
[Still calm, Anna interrupted you: “I know everything.”]
[“I know you don’t want to kill me because we are friends. But if you don’t kill me, how can you complete the trial given to you by the goddess? So…………….. just kill me,Then you can complete the trial. ”]
[At this moment, you realize that you still don’t understand Anna.]
[The girl is not stupid.]
[On the contrary, she is very smart.]
[It’s just that she has never left the Invisible Island, so you have the illusion that she is ignorant.]
[In fact, Anna knows everything, but she just doesn’t say it.]
[“At the beginning, I was wondering why my sister suddenly left the Invisible Island, and why my mother suddenly took Togo away and threatened you to help her solve the problem.”]
[The silence was broken, and Anna muttered to herself her speculation: “And you, a hero, why did you come to the Invisible Island inexplicably? This is strange, isn’t it? The only possibility I can think of is that Zoe, you accepted the trial of a certain god and came to the Invisible Island to kill monsters.”]
[“My sisters are gods, only I am not. ”】
【“Then, it’s easy to guess who the monster you want to kill is.”】
【After a pause, Anna stood up and walked in front of you.】
【Her body is so petite, standing up is about the same height as you when sitting, and even her palm is not half the size of yours.】
【It takes two hands to hold your hand.】
【Anna’s hands are very cold and soft.】
【Just like her, kind-hearted, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.】
【Until now, the little girl is still thinking about you.】
【“If the trial fails, you will be punished, Zoe, right?”】
【“Those who cannot complete the trial cannot be heroes.”】
【The girl smiled and joked with you, but her tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string: “Sorry, I don’t want to cry. I just think………….it would be better if I could have known you earlier and become your friend earlier.”]
[“No, we don’t want to be friends yet.”]
[Because if we become friends, Zoe, you won’t have the heart to kill me…………]

“Kill me.”
Anna had cried enough and vented all her emotions at once.
She thought that at this moment, she was ready to accept death.
She just felt a little sorry for her two sisters and mother, who tried their best to let her escape from fate.
But she volunteered to be killed by Lin Yi.
However, the expected death did not come as expected.
She only received a mild blow on her forehead.
Anna opened her eyes in confusion and looked at Lin Yi.
“Why don’t you do it?”
“Did you do something wrong? When did I say I would killyou?”
Lin Yi explained with a smile: “Her Majesty Athena only asked me to come to the Invisible Island to defeat monsters, but she didn’t explicitly say that I must kill monsters.”
Defeating does not mean killing.
The inequality is solved in seconds!
That’s right!
Lin Yi is just playing word games and exploiting loopholes in the trial!
“As long as there are no monsters on the island, the trial will be completed, right?”
Under Anna’s gaze, the boy stood up, stretched out a hand to her, and invited happily: “It just so happens that I am in need of a companion. Miss Anna, are you willing to accompany me to travel around the world?”
In order to prevent Anna from finding an excuse to refuse, Lin Yi also gave an excellent reason that could not be refused.
“You see, I am so weak that I can’t even beat a hare on the roadside. If I rely on Togo alone, I will die in the mouth of a monster sooner or later, right?”
“Therefore, I need your strength, Anna! Can you protect me until I become a real hero? ”
Under the moonlight, the boy’s tender face exudes a divine glow.
At this moment, Anna’s eyes seem to have no room for anything else.
Only the boy’s sincere words linger in her ears.
Even after thousands of years, she can’t forget it.
It is deeply engraved in her mind.
“I do.”
After struggling for a moment, Anna still grabbed the boy’s hand and swore, “I am willing to accompany you to every corner of the world.”
“Until the moment I die…”
