When Nuwa turned around gently, the background of the cement-gray room seemed to suddenly turn into an undercurrent, pulled, twisted, and rolled around her, flowing and melting away. She faced Lin Sanjiu completely.
By that time, the room had disappeared, the press conference had disappeared, the planet had disappeared, and the cries of the people in that world were rushed to an unknown distance, a place where there was no existence.
They were floating in the eternally silent dark universe, far away, dotted with cold stars.
Nuwa smiled slightly as she looked at the two of them, then gently lifted the stick into the air, and then suddenly lowered it down - the end of the pointed stick pressed into the soft darkness, stopping the passage of time.
...This statement seems unreasonable and "stops the passage of time."
But Lin Sanjiu had this hard-to-explain feeling. Time no longer flowed beneath their feet. Yu Yuan beside him seemed to be touched. He looked around and let out a low "ah", as if he understood.
What.
"Yes," Nuwa didn't know which one of them she was explaining to, or both. She raised her other hand, pinched the air gently with her index finger and thumb, and opened it like a sigh.
mouth.
"...Pull out your fingers to pinch out time like this, and there will be a moment in your fingertips, pressed between two forces, motionless. The time before was still moving forward, and the time after that is still moving backward.
Go, only this moment we are in is eternally stagnant."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't understand it, and simply stopped trying to understand it. The more she understood Nuwa, the less she seemed to be understood.
She only knew that when she was subconsciously surprised, she was actually not that surprised deep down - she had been waiting for this day subconsciously since the dream script came out; not to mention, this underground new game conference
Her characteristics are so distinctive that I almost wrote Nuwa's name on the wall.
Even though she had been mentally prepared, Lin Sanjiu still felt an overwhelming fatigue, as if she had been running an endless marathon for so many years and was finally told to stop.
She lowered her head and looked at her feet. Although she didn't know where she was or what she was stepping on, she still seemed to be falling apart. She sat down and said: "...Yes, you found me. Here is another
Is this your testing ground?”
The look on Nuwa's face was one of extreme indifference and compassion. "No," she said softly, "a process whose results you already know cannot be called an experiment."
Lin Sanjiu nodded, blankly not knowing what she was doing. She searched for a while in her confused mind, searching for what to ask now - in fact, it was more like using this to restore some sense of "normality"
”.
"Ji..." She thought for a long time, only thinking about the gift bag. At this moment, his whereabouts became the only question in her mind - but just after she said the first word, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt that she was on Nuwa's face.
I saw something flashing by, my whole body was agitated, and my words were changed to: "Why are you here?"
As if watching a child playing clever tricks, Nuwa smiled.
"I'm here because I'm here, it's just that simple. It's not because of anything I did that I'm here at this point in time; it's that I will be here at this point in time, so before and after.
There are such a series of changes." She slowly explained with great patience: "When you understand what I mean, you will naturally understand why I can 'predict' the course of things."
Yu Yuan asked softly: "Are you saying that your influence on things in the universe is already caused by yourself, not by your actions?"
Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples and said "Ah?"
Yu Yuan thought for a while before he came up with an analogy that could be used to explain: "For example, she told me that I will bring you to her. It's not because she foresees the future, nor is it her or me.
What actions were taken to make this come true, but the historical process will naturally be affected by her existence, just like a piece of cloth will be bent...or just like water flowing downwards, but different
Yes, Nuwa can clearly see the water flowing towards her, that is, the impact she has."
Apparently, he himself felt that these two metaphors were not quite accurate. Lin Sanjiu waved her hands, unwilling to dwell on issues she didn't understand, and just asked Nuwa in a dumb voice: "Then what are you looking for?"
What am I going to do?”
Nuwa stood upright in the dark void, her walking stick condensed into a thin line of cool light.
"Do you agree now?"
Lin Sanjiu had a strange feeling - Nuwa's question seemed to have been echoing in the universe. It was only when she opened her mouth to say it that it was brought into her ears. It was not the case before that.
Wa did not ask the question, but she did not hear the question until this moment.
"Agree to what?"
She had already vaguely understood what Nuwa was referring to, but she still struggled.
Nuwa smiled and her eyes fell on her bloody gloves. This time it was no longer a question, but a statement: "You agree."
Lin Sanjiu raised the hand that shattered the trembling king's head and looked at it without making a sound. Yes, she did agree - even if she refused to admit it, she was actually about to execute the agreement.
Nuwa's strategy is exactly the same.
She didn't chase the silent woman, she didn't deal with the short bangs, and there were at least five people alive at the new game conference, not because she thought these people had their own difficulties and the right to live, but because she thought at that time, wait a minute
Wait, what's the rush? They can't escape. After Ji Shanqing is found, no one here can escape her hunting.
Looking at Yu Yuan beside her, Lin Sanjiu remembered in a daze that she had once bloodbathed Black Mountain Town. Thinking about it now, even if that dream were replaced by reality, she might still not be able to spare any lives.
Because no one in Black Mountain should survive.
"A long time ago, I was actually briefly confused because of your existence." Nuwa sighed and murmured: "If there is a diseased fruit tree, all the fruits it produces will be diseased fruits.
, the poison rots, but as long as a good fruit appears, it means that it can actually reach the state of producing good fruit. The problem is the disease, not the fruit tree...right? I want to know whether the premise of this assumption is correct.
.”
She didn't seem to be waiting for Lin Sanjiu's answer, she just continued: "With such confusion, I observed you for a while after that."
The so-called "for a while" in Nuwa's mouth, when applied to Lin Sanjiu, means that it will last for a long time.
"But humans are not fruit trees." This sentence suddenly blurted out from Lin San's drunken state - she herself was shocked. If it was to ensure people's survival, she should have followed Nuwa's words.
Nuwa seemed to be relieved and smiled, as if she was happy to be understood. "Of course not, you understand this better than me. If the fruit tree is sick, it is naturally a disease problem, not a problem with the fruit tree.
. But humans are not fruit trees, humans are the disease itself. Being born as humans, they naturally act like viruses, just like a deer needs water when it is thirsty, and the water will freeze when it reaches zero. But in such a large group, the situation distribution
There are differences again. You and those like you are a rare extreme, an anomaly; while people like Gong Daoyi are an opposite extreme, an anomaly, and equally rare."
Lin Sanjiu felt that no matter what Nuwa knew, she would not be surprised.
"If Gong Daoyi is at the negative end, then he is more valuable than most people. Because he is awake and knows his coordinates in the human race; because of this, he can see you, he
I have been looking at you, looking at your coordinates that are opposite to mine."
Nuwa shook her head and said: "...but most people in the middle can't see you, and don't want to see you. You are not welcome, and your existence can hurt people. In Sodom,
Angels are more annoying than Satan, and you know this better than anyone else."
Lin Sanjiu didn't make a sound.
"So, you can even tolerate Gong Daoyi, but you can't tolerate Heishan Town." Nuwa said softly, "You can tolerate sober and absolute evil, because the judgment against it is simple and there is no room for it.
. So mediocre, normal, chaotic, ignorant, fueling the flames, and even evil is caused by the stupid majority... How should you look at it? It's gray, hopeless, and impossible to judge.
, give them an environment, and they will transform into the soil of the Garden of Eden. Are new game launches an exception? Of course not. The reason a fire can burn so brightly and vigorously is because the gasoline is always there.
"The scariest thing is that you know that a large part of the reason why you can sit at your coordinates is luck. If you slide down, you will slide all the way through the gray and chaotic majority, straight to the other extreme.
And go. The more you understand, the more you resist. You save people, you kill people, and you bloodbath Heishan Town, all because you are more afraid than anyone else of the fact that you are a human being. You hate them more than me, you are more afraid of them, and you are more afraid of them.
It is good to desire them.”
Lin Sanjiu heard a "ta-ta-da" sound, a slight and continuous ringing in his ears. After listening for a while, he realized that the source of the sound was his own teeth.
Nuwa took a gentle breath, turned to look at the dark universe surrounding the three of them, and said: "...You asked me what I wanted to do. In fact, I told you many years ago. I am here to see you now,
I’m giving you two choices.”
Lin Sanjiu lowered his head and listened to her silently.
"The Great Flood, the Day of Judgment, no matter what name you call it, the final outcome of destruction is inevitable. I am not a human being, I am a prophet. You can't stop me, you can only save yourself. So I give you
The first choice is to abandon your identity as a human being, abandon your past, and come to me, just like the Lou brothers and sisters did many years ago. You already know their choice, right?"
There was some kind of strong impact that was shaking Lin Sanjiu from the inside. If she didn't grit her teeth and steady her body, she would be swaying like she was sitting in a cradle.
"What about the second option?" she asked hoarsely.
She could feel Nuwa looking at her and spoke in a low voice.
"...'Abraham came and said, 'Will you destroy both good and evil?' If there are fifty righteous people in that city, will you destroy that place? And you will not spare any of them for the fifty righteous people in the city.
People?'
‘If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom,’ declares the LORD, ‘I will spare all the people in that place for their sakes.
'And Abraham said to him, What if forty are found there? And he said to him, I will not do this thing for the sake of the forty.
'Abraham said to him, "Please do not be angry, Lord, but let me say, what if I see thirty there?" And he said, "If I see thirty there, I will not do it either."
'Abraham said, What if twenty are found there, as I speak to the Lord? And he said, I will not destroy the city for the sake of the twenty.
'Abraham said to him, "Please do not be angry with the Lord. I say this again. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy the city because of the ten.'"
Nuwa's voice fell, and the dark universe returned to dead silence. When she spoke again, her voice was very low, but the air seemed to be vibrating with countless strings.
"I am not Jehovah, and I will not let Sodom go. But if you can find ten righteous people who will not look back at Sodom, I will allow you to board the ark."
