Chapter 378: Chapter 287: The Death of Eve

Xiao Yi had died... Even if it was in a cycle of reincarnation long past, nearly unconnected to the present moment, Eve felt anger because of it.

Because she had never imagined that Xiao Yi could lose his life! And she was completely unaware of it! That was precisely what infuriated her the most!

Eve didn’t want to be unable to protect Xiao Yi because she was locked up, leading to his death; therefore, she had come here specifically to end her confinement!

No, considering what might happen later, Eve even planned to abolish the practice of confinement.

Moreover, if among these individuals, someone was an indirect murderer of Xiao Yi, she would not easily let the matter rest.

"First Rule?" Rule Zero looked at Eve, "Shouldn’t you be in confinement right now? Who allowed you to come here?"

"I allowed myself," Eve replied with a frosty gaze. "At this point, with such serious issues arising within us, it’s not the time to fuss over trivial matters. Moreover, there’s no need to listen to excuses; just because there are reasons, it doesn’t mean one can commit bad deeds."

"How coincidental, I neer thought I’d see the day when I’d share the same opinion as you."

At this time, the Seventh Rule also spoke:

"I also believe that regardless of whether there is a valid reason, the act of betrayal exists undeniably. Regardless, betrayal is absolutely intolerable and unforgivable.

The murderer must also be prepared to be killed; the notion of enjoying rights without taking responsibility shouldn’t exist. Thus, regardless of the traitor’s reasons, their end is already determined... I’ve said my piece. Whether it’s anyone, even if I myself were to betray, their existence must be dissolved. That is the rule. Without rules, there’s no order."

"..." Eve fell silent for a while; although she detested the Seventh Rule, having one more person supporting her in this place where numbers were supreme was always a good thing.

So, Eve also said, "It seems there are still people here who understand reason."

"Both of you, how about we calm down a bit?" Rule Zero spoke again. "Indeed, your opinions are very valuable, but don’t forget, this is not the time to discuss this."

"Not the time to discuss this?" Eve furrowed her brows. "What do you mean? I’ve been wanting to ask since earlier, your behavior, it always feels like you are covering for the betrayer... or perhaps, you are the betrayer yourself."

As soon as Eve said this, the other existences were also visibly moved.

This was different from the previous discussions; it was a direct accusation! And a face-to-face one at that!

"Sigh..." Rule Zero sighed and shook his head. "It’s not just me, if any of us were traitors, they wouldn’t engage in such low-efficiency actions that easily arouse suspicion, right? What I mean is, instead of discussing how to deal with the traitor, what we need to do more is to determine the true nature of this incident, so that the same problem doesn’t occur next time. Solving the problem is more important than allocating blame."

"..." Eve was silent because she couldn’t refute.

In terms of justice, this was indeed the most important matter. Privately... she couldn’t easily bring it up.

Rule Zero continued, "We’re discussing how to deal with our own people without even understanding the specifics of the truth; I don’t think that’s a good thing. Moreover, think about it, is it really... done by one of our own? Why couldn’t it be that the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma really has developed such an ability? The distrust among us might very well be the true intention of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma."

"The doings of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma?" someone questioned. "Although the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma is indeed troublesome, those things don’t have such ability. Moreover, causing distrust among us, those things that like to claim themselves to be the truth, they have always looked down on these human emotions. How could they arrange such an action? Still... I find it highly unlikely."

"It is unlikely, but not absolutely impossible, right?" Rule Zero countered. "Don’t be bound by your established notions; even we cannot ensure to see through the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma completely, we can’t guarantee that the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma doesn’t have this ability. Perhaps now it truly does. And don’t forget, this time, the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma even chose to take on human form to evade our investigation, which already means that this time, it won’t be as easy to deal with as before."

"..." The refuted person had nothing to say in response.

"What are you suggesting?" Eve asked coldly. "Shift the suspicion onto the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma?"

"..." Rule Zero was silent for a moment, then continued, "I only suggested a possibility. Only by clarifying the true situation can we take appropriate measures."

"So, you plan to investigate slowly?" Eve continued with a cold tone. "Do you intend to drag this out?"

"This incident is quite unique," Rule Zero said. "It’s not something that can be resolved with omniscience and omnipresence as before. Clearly, this level of operation is at least on par with us, difficult to investigate; besides thorough and honest investigations, do you have any better methods?"

"Furthermore..." Rule Zero went on, "I find it strange, why... the First Rule, who has neer cared about these internal matters, why are you suddenly so concerned about this incident today?"
