Chapter 611 - 611: Same Place

"The second thing? It was... Hmm? Why don't I remember what it was?"

Eve grew confused as she talked. She couldn't remember what the second thing was. It was as if there was something about the second thing which made her forget about it as soon as she started speaking about it.

"Ah, don't joke around. Tell me what the second thing was."

"I'm not lying. I don't know why, but I can't remember it. The memory suddenly gets blurry whenever I try to remember the second thing. All I know is that there was one more."

"Fine. Tell me where the box is. I'll see for myself." Lucifer didn't try to force Eve. He got a feeling that she wasn't lying.

Moreover, it wasn't surprising either. She had slept for a long time. Maybe her memories were slightly affected because of that, and she lost some. Or maybe the second thing was something that made it impossible for someone to remember. That was also possible.

"That golden box? It should be in your home."

"My home was destroyed. There was no golden box there. If there was, I would have known."

"Nope. What was destroyed was Zale's home."

"Are you hallucinating or something? His home was my home. I had no other home," Lucifer replied.

"That's what you think. But you don't know something," Eve replied. "Your parents had bought another home... A better one in your name. They wanted to give that home to you when you grew up as a surprise. Albeit, they weren't there to watch you grow."

"This house... Is it in Elisium?"

"Yeah. It's not far from your parent's home either. A pretty good mansion which should still have that golden chest and some other things there."

"The sword will be there as well?" Lucifer asked, more focused on the Sword.

"The Sword, huh." Eve rubbed her chin. "That won't be there."

Her reply intrigued Lucifer. Where was the sword, if not with the chest?

"Wait. I had heard that they were searching for a sword when they were killed. Don't tell me they lost my sword and were looking for it?" Lucifer asked.

"Ah, that seems to be the case," Eve explained. "The Sword was stolen from the hospital when they were trying to plant the story of your birth. And since then, they were trying to find the sword."

"You must know where the sword is. You could've seen it in the DreamWorld!" Lucifer let out, not losing hope.

If Eve was honest about the Dream World and what she could do, then there was no way she didn't know about the sword.

"Of course I know where that Sword is," Eve replied, smiling brightly.

"Where is it then?"

"It's inside the Dungeon where your parents died actually. An amusing coincidence."

"H-how did it end up there?"

"Your parents found the sword on the way to the Dungeon, which finished their search. And they entered the Dungeon with the Sword in their bags. That Sword was left right there after everything finished."

"So they really died in the Dungeon?' Lucifer asked as his volume lowered.

"What were you expecting? That they would survive?" Eve took a deep breath. "Unfortunately, they died. I watched them die right before my eyes."

"Now you can stop thinking about them surviving. They are gone. And they won't be coming back," she further continued.

Lucifer grew silent again and didn't speak. It took him a moment to get back to normal.

"So I need to enter the Dungeon where they died," he said.

"If you want the sword." Eve nodded. "Is there anything else you want to ask me? Or are we done with the interrogation?"

Lucifer didn't have many questions for her now. The way she described her powers, she couldn't predict the future. She only knew the past from the moment she was buried to now. And he already had all the answers he could get from her.

After some time, he looked at Eve again. "One last question."

"Yeah?"

"What do you want to do next?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you are awake again. What do you want to do next? What are your goals? Will you go to Atlantis for your revenge?"

"Revenge? I won't. I don't want to. I don't like all this fighting and violence between humans. I hate it. It's fine if you kill monsters but killing your fellow humans and Variants? That's not for me."

"So you think I am a bad man?" Lucifer asked, bursting into laughter.

Eve didn't reply.

"Go ahead. Answer me. I killed so many people that even I've lost count. Do you think I'm a bad man?' Lucifer asked.

"I can't comment on anyone else. I can't just speak about myself. And I think using Violence to get to your means isn't right."

"So what should be done?" Lucifer asked. "Should we let others walk over us as they desire? Should we be at the mercy of others? The mercy of these... These bastards?!"

"I-i think there can be better ways. But I also understand that everyone has a different path to walk. I knew your path was going to be filled with bloodshed, and sometimes you had no choice either. But I still think violence isn't always the answer."

Lucifer looked at Eve weirdly. "What did you say your name was?"

"My name? Eve. Why?"

"Well Eve. You want to know what I think?' Lucifer asked.

Eve waited for his answer.

"I think you are an idiot. You need to grow up and get out of that childish mindset. If not, you'll end up dead someday. You have no idea what this world is actually like," Lucifer said.

"I don't have an idea?" Eve smiled. "I've been watching this world for the last eighteen years. And let me tell you, there are many good people in this world! In fact, there are more good people than there are bad!"

"Really? And what can those good people do when bad people come firing at them?" Lucifer asked. "Will they invite the bad people for a debate or something?"

"There is no such thing as a good person! What you know as a good person is just a person who didn't face the situation that could make him go bad yet," he further added.

"The person in glass houses who preach to others about walking the righteous path and never committing any crimes? They would be the first person to raise their guns if their lives or the lives of their children were in danger!"

"The so-called good people will be the first to steal if they were dying of hunger and all righteous paths of earning failed."
