章節 264: A Head Held High

***

[You think he'll do it?]

[Probably… he's becoming more like you, you know.]

Emir and Lyra talked telepathically while he watched the holoscreen, one that projected Elijah's stuttering state.

His command was to burn the tribe.

One filled with people.

Why?

There was no reason for that, was there?

The objective wasn't even stated, so what was killing people atop a mammoth for?

Was it to complete the test?

That wouldn't make sense.

Yes, it wouldn't make any sense at all…

Not one bit.

Of course, that would be the case if only Elijah being a Reaper wasn't considered.

Souls were something they saw.

Would they notice that fact?

But even then, his logic would need to be incredibly skewed to propose such a conclusion.

Emir banked on that fact.

He wanted to know who it would not make sense to the most.
