Lin Sanjiu soon discovered that the gift Nuwa left for her included temporary control over Ji Shanqing.
She couldn't guess what means Nuwa might have used to plant such a feeling in her mind: She knew that she had taken over control of this underground game publishing space, and she also knew that after she left here,
, her control will disappear, and maybe everything will be back to the way it was before.
She couldn't control what happened after she left, and she didn't bother to care about it - at least for now, the gift bag was absolutely safe with her, and that was enough.
When she knelt down gently beside Li Bao, Li Bao woke up before she could reach out to touch his face. His eyes that he slowly opened were like the stars on the lake after the haze had faded, both cold and bright;
As soon as Lin Sanjiu's shadow fell into his eyes, those eyes suddenly became gentle and softly curved, accompanied by a voice: "...sister."
Lin Sanjiu hugged him into her arms and buried her face in his hair. She didn't say a word for a long time. She closed her eyes tightly in the smell of the other person's breeze, like bamboo leaves, and didn't dare to look, because
She suddenly had a fear - she had felt from a long time ago that even if she didn't talk about suffering, life would always be full of tiny details and suffocating discomfort, because life is like this, born in a human skin, like
She put one foot into the wrong size of shoe. So in her wrong size of life, could she have such an absolute and pure thing like Ji Shanqing, couldn't it be explained only by a dream?
In other words, she is real, and the struggles, sadness, discomfort and pain she can feel are also real. Only Ji Shanqing and the comforts similar to him were added to her by a novelist.
Yes, just to appease people and give people a little hope.
"Sister," Ji Shanqing's voice trembled slightly, and he stroked the back of her head with one hand, again and again, with a reassuring regularity: "Sister, it's okay, you just did it
It was too much of a shock..."
Really? But she had known Nuwa's intention for a long time; even without Nuwa, she would have known about the great flood that would end mankind - it was really difficult for her to explain the uncontrollable trembling she was feeling at this moment.
"What you see is not just Nuwa, and what you hear is not just the words she speaks...the things she represents that are difficult to put into words, those things that have spanned God knows how many years and have accumulated so many changes, are reflected by her
The moment I pinched it, they all rushed towards you."
Although Ji Shanqing had just woken up, he seemed to have a clear understanding of her experience: "I was placed not far away by her at that time, watching you talking to her from a distance, I know. You are already amazing,
elder sister."
When Lin Sanjiu raised her head, she realized that because her face was full of tears, the long hair of the gift bag was stained on her face. "Are you okay?" she asked while picking the hair from her face.
"It's okay," Ji Shanqing smiled at her, looked at Yu Yuan not far away, and then withdrew his gaze. "Although for a moment, Nuwa really scared me. She said, you are so human-like.
I'm on the borderline of becoming a human being - but fortunately, she didn't regard me as a human being in the end."
If Ji Shanqing is not regarded as a human being, then Yu Yuan will naturally not be at such risk. After hearing this, Yu Yuan thought for a while and said: "From this point of view, it is a good thing that I will not return to adulthood."
"Do you know what we just said...and what I experienced before?" Lin Sanjiu asked in confusion as he looked at the gift bag.
"I was first captured by a young woman through a game. She couldn't figure out what I was and was unwilling to let me go, so she kept treating me as something wrapped in words, trapped in 'paper'
But before she had the chance to do something to me, Nuwa took over." Ji Shanqing explained, "From that time until my sister appeared, Nuwa kept letting me stay in her house during this time.
There are... scattered things around me. I watched a lot with her and talked a lot, including about my sister."
He suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered: "But I can't send you a message... I see my sister has been looking for me, but I can't make a sound, making you so anxious..."
This is no big deal.
Lin Sanjiu stroked the back of his hand with her fingers and whispered: "I...I really don't understand. I don't understand what Nuwa wants, and why she came to me?"
Yu Yuan also walked over and stopped when he was still a few steps away from Ji Shanqing. He seemed to want to listen to the discussion between the two, but was unwilling to get too close to the gift bag, so he walked around behind Lin Sanjiu.
Sat down.
"Think about it carefully. She allowed me to save some people according to a certain standard, but she didn't give me any standards." Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly and said, "She only said something about not being a 'righteous person'
, but she didn’t say anything. Where should I look for it? Why should I look for it? "
In addition, she has a darker, deeper layer of fear and suspicion.
"If there are no righteous people among my friends, can I save them? Is this an experiment? She wants to see if I am fair. If I save my friends, then I have failed and we will all escape.
There is no way out. But if you want me to give up my friends, then I don’t know what else to live for..."
Ji Shanqing shook his head.
"Sister," he said while gently holding her hand. This action made Lin Sanjiu calm down slightly. "After getting along with each other these days, I have learned a little about Nuwa. Do you want to
Do you want to hear my opinion?"
Lin Sanjiu nodded immediately.
When she just listened to the two options given by Nuwa, she even wished she had no choice.
Although Nuwa hated the ignorance and chaos in human nature, there was a moment when she wished she was also ignorant and chaotic. If she faced a flood or some other form of end in ignorance, then the end would be the end.
, there was no pain before and after, just like a dog that unfortunately died in a volcanic eruption.
If confusion is the source of pain, and confusion itself prevents the feeling of pain, then maybe there is something wrong with the setup of human beings?
"Sister, Nuwa really didn't give you a standard." Ji Shanqing smiled comfortingly at her and whispered, "Because she doesn't have this standard herself."
Lin Sanjiu was startled. She had never thought that the god-like Nuwa would have "no" things.
"She told you that if you find someone who meets a certain standard, then you can survive. But how could she have this standard? Because in her opinion, the human race itself, no matter who it is, may
Not even herself should survive." Ji Shan Qingyun said lightly, "In her eyes, there is no such standard for who should survive and who should not survive. What do you ask her to do?
What about you?"
Lin Sanjiu was speechless for a moment.
"She will not identify them one by one. Oh, you are a good person and have never done bad things, or the proportion of bad things is not large, so it is a bit unfair to let you die."
At this time, even a gift package that is "on the borderline of becoming a human being" can clearly make people feel that that feeling of indifference does not belong to one person - "Because if one is to judge whether a person is good or bad alone,
If this is the case, just this standard for identifying good and bad will make her fall into endless sophistry traps. Can you imagine that scene? Nuwa is sitting opposite a person, trying to figure out whether this person is worth living...
"That person will say, why am I not a good person? Aren't you just a person? Who gave you the qualification to judge whether I am a good person? What you said is right? Then what is the difference between you and a bad person? You have
Your standards, I also have my standards, I have a bad side, I also have a good side, how can you not look at the problem in two? Besides, even if I have done anything worthy of question,
That's because I was born into this environment, I was affected by the environment, I don't have your experience and luck, is this my fault?"
Ji Shanqing finished speaking in one breath, then took a breath and said with a smile: "If Nuwa falls into judging individuals, it is equivalent to falling into meaninglessness. So she will not look at the individual, she will make the decision
At that time, the decision was made for a group. She only looked at the impact of the human group on the world, the cause and effect, and the turmoil it caused...it was enough for her that the group should bear the responsibility for whatever was caused by the group."
Lin Sanjiu was even more confused now. "Then why did she ask me to find some separate individuals?"
Ji Shanqing sighed slightly after hearing this.
"It's caused by the group, and it's the group's responsibility. This is Nuwa's answer when facing the problem of human beings. She is convinced that her answer is inevitable and correct, but she wants to see if there will be another completely different answer.
People who are awake and have similar feelings will come up with another answer. Her experiment on humans has ended, and her experiment on you has just begun."
In the silent room, he seemed to feel a sense of pain because of Lin Sanjiu.
"What she did is actually unfair to you. This is an almost unimaginable burden for me to put on you. Even though Nuwa also gave you a choice... If you are not willing to take on such a task,
Then you can welcome their destruction silently, or join Nuwa's side to accelerate the destruction. But no matter which choice you choose, you can't be left in a hazy state."
Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked at the dusty room. Her ears seemed to hear a slight commotion and noise coming from outside.
She took a long breath and whispered: "...It would be great if I were a bird or a deer."
"Then you will probably die because of humans." Ji Shanqing also exhaled and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I can't understand why Nuwa came to find my sister. Even if the answer you get in the end is different from Nuwa's
Just like Wa, you will try your best to find another way out during this process... This is you, sister."
From the end of the corridor outside the door, there were high and low screams. Voices such as "Why can't the door be closed?" "Why can't I write?" were intermittent, panicked and confused, like a ball of broken pieces.
The fragments were swept away by the current and scattered. The fragments rushed into Lin Sanjiu's ears, causing her to turn her head and glance at the door.
She stood up in confusion.
She understood the reason why Nuwa left control to her. She was sure that in the short and long conversation just now, she heard Nuwa say: "...Now, what are you going to do with these people?
