"What happened five years ago was also carefully planned by you?" Xue Ming asked.
Sera replied: "No, we were ready for the ending five years ago, but suddenly someone appeared. She told us that there was still a chance to continue living, so we persisted until today."
"who?"
"Merry."
"Mei Rui?..." Xue Ming had no impression of this name.
Sierra said: "You can regard her as the beginning of everything."
Xue Ming's consciousness became hazy, but he held on.
"So...why do you believe her words? Why does she make you believe her?"
The two paragraphs do not mean the same thing, and Sierra understood it clearly.
"If you told a death row inmate before execution that you had a chance to survive besides death, what would you choose?"
Xue Ming understood, but felt it was not enough...
"Of course, this metaphor seems very selfish, doesn't it... In the final analysis, without some pure justice, everything we do is dirty and shameful..." Sierra smiled, sneered, and laughed at herself.
Xue Ming was silent. He was not so righteous, and he would not distinguish between right and wrong at this time.
"I was hesitant at first. After all, even if I don't admit that I am the Sera I once was, I have inherited everything from her. I should be a more perfect person, and... even if I want to get rid of her shadow, I can't.
She would use other people's lives to pave the way... Only later she told me all the details about the 'return home' plan... After hearing this, I decided to sit down and have a good talk with her." Sera held up Xue Ming's
On his face, his breath was very weak, but his eyes were bright.
"Even if I survive until now...you won't take me with you, right?"
Xue Ming held Sera's hand instead, kissed it gently, and replied with a pale and weak smile: "You are not here, and I have no intention of leaving."
After hearing this, Sera's eyes turned slightly red, but she suppressed it and looked away.
Xue Ming's eyes dimmed a bit. He returned to the corner of the carriage and asked softly: "What happened next...what did you talk about?"
"A deal."
"trade?"
Sera nodded: "Merry's idea was to use all the puppets in the world to create an unprecedented revolution and then replace the existing humans. However, during the execution stage, it was discovered that some puppets had already realized their 'new self'.
She was also still willing to inherit her long-cherished wish of memory, which caused her plan to die early, and the revolution only got started and then died down."
Xue Ming heard it clearly, but the meaning was different when seen from different angles. What Serra was talking about should be the rebellion in 110.
"So she later personally visited her house and found a group of people one by one who she thought could achieve great things together. But what she didn't expect was that most of them, like me, just wanted to make a deal with her."
The truth began to be revealed, and Xue Ming listened silently without saying a word.
"But at the beginning, we actually fell apart."
Xue Ming noticed Sera's expression, she didn't lie.
"The world she expects is too incredible. I feel that even if it is as beautiful as she describes, it is impossible for us ants to achieve it. What's more, this touches my bottom line."
Hearing this, Xue Ming couldn't help but think of the central curtain and a series of spiritual things related to the central curtain.
"She said that she failed. She had been looking for a way to continue the puppets. However, more than ten years later, no puppet was born naturally. Therefore, she tried to get involved in the forbidden land of gods and tried to recreate a god with human power.
Create a new world, a new world that can bring eternity and tranquility!" Sera said softly, and at the end she burst into laughter and said: "Doesn't it sound particularly unreliable? This guy actually wants to
Once again, we can walk the same path that Han Wensheng has walked, and we want to create a new era and a new world!"
Xue Ming didn't smile, his brows were twitching because he had already felt it, from seeing the tree, fighting Gannon, and later Lu Angel... Xue Ming knew clearly that Meirui was not crazy... she did
arrive!
"But she did it, right?" Xue Ming finally spoke.
Sierra's laughter stopped. She poured herself a glass of wine and lit a cigarette for Xue Ming.
It was no longer the real tobacco like before, but it was still a bit raw when he smoked it in his mouth... Xue Ming took a sip and felt much more awake, but at the same time he also realized that his body was about to die and he should hold on.
It won't be long.
"Yeah...after she laughed at me, I was slapped in the face with hatred, especially the bouquet of flowers she left behind. After it bloomed, I lay in bed and didn't expect the death I wanted..."
Xue Ming stiffened for a moment and thought to himself: 'So when she said she wanted to leave the Arbiter... was it because she already knew that she was about to die...'
Thinking of this, Xue Ming couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"After she died, I realized that she was not just dreaming, but that she really had a way to stop this, so I found Meili again and told her my conditions."
Xue Ming coughed. He sat up straighter and looked out the window.
"What conditions?"
Serra said: "The people I love most must live well...this is my condition."
Hearing this, Xue Ming turned around and looked at Sera in surprise...
Is it that simple? With just this, she was able to hide the truth for five years and make such an earth-shattering plan?
Xue Ming began to doubt...but he couldn't think of any other purpose for Sera?
When people live in this world, their desire for sex is nothing more than four things.
"Power", "money", "reputation" and "family".
Rights... According to Sera, she only joined Merry's organization and became a member of the Center Veil after the rebellion. Before that, her status in the Arbiter was already very high, but she didn't want to show up.
She has just been hiding behind the scenes. She is not a woman who is greedy for power. In other words, she has lost interest in power since the destruction of Cerberus.
Money... This is even more ridiculous. Even if she no longer cares about family affairs, her surname is still Rusty Stevens, and she belongs to one of the richest families in the world. Moreover, with her status, money has nothing to do with it.
It's alluring, and she has nothing to spend money on.
Reputation... Xue Ming directly ignored this article, because he knew that everyone who joined the Arbiter could not care about reputation, because what they did was not pure justice, at least when dealing with enemies, they would not care about reputation.
It has something to do with morality and human nature.
Then what's left...according to Serra, there is only "family".
But her family...
Would a puppet who has realized "self" really take people like Aaliya and Lin Xue so seriously?
After brainstorming for a while, Xue Ming came to the conclusion that... Sera was lying, or in other words, she did put forward such a simple condition that was insignificant to Meili, but her true purpose had long been hidden.
"Do you not believe me again?"
Even though she was staying in the corner, Sierra could easily feel Xue Ming's emotions.
Xue Ming shook his head gently: "No, I believe you, but I am curious about how many of you there are..."
Sera laughed when he heard this: "Have you reached this point where you can no longer care about your own body? Or do you think that based on our feelings, I will betray you?"
Xue Ming also laughed. He raised his hand and stubbed out the cigarette tremblingly.
"That's right... So what if the ants know what the boots are... When the boots fall, it's better to cherish the precious time before death..." Xue Ming said and started coughing again.
The old housekeeper looked distressed. These two children had ridden in his car when they were very young. What a wonderful life they had at that time...
"Miss, would you like to return to the base quickly?"
Sierra hasn't spoken yet.
Xue Ming said first: "No need, Uncle Li, I know my body well... Let's go to Bai Hutong. I want to see the old house where I lived when I was a child."
The old housekeeper didn't do it immediately.
Serra said: "Go to Bai Hutong."
"OK……"
…
At one o'clock in the morning, the center of Eisinvar was already crowded with people. It was impossible to sit down in many places. Crowded scenes could be seen everywhere, and various emergencies occurred one after another.
However, this cannot dampen everyone's enthusiasm. After all, this is the first large-scale grand ceremony performance since 104 years.
Standing on the Sky Singer stage, Lin Xue and Dongfang Ruo looked down at the stars in the bright lights. At this moment, human beings were like stars in the universe, emitting as much light as possible.
But it seems crowded... but there is an insurmountable distance between them...
"Sister Dongfang, I always feel that there is something missing in the performance..." Lin Xue finally expressed her troubles over the past few days.
Dongfang Ruo said softly: "What are you referring to?"
Lin Xuedao: "It's neither the lights... nor the personnel... nor the various cutting-edge equipment on the stage... I just feel... as if after Lin disappeared, every performance of mine was extremely perfect, but it was also disappointing.
Deeply disappointed..."
Dongfang Ruo is also clear about Lin's disappearance... The rebellion of 110 years has affected too many people... Lin is one of them... His brain has been placed in the Arbiter since it was taken away from Cerberus.
Deep in the guarded secret base, it turned out that it was thought to be the safest place in the world, but Lin's life was ruined because of rebellion.
That day... when Lin disappeared, tens of thousands of live viewers and hundreds of millions of online viewers saw it... saw Lin's horrified expression, and what he said to Lin Xue as he slowly disappeared...
"protect yourself……"
…
Now five years have passed, at the same time, in a different place, after Lin disappeared, Lin Xue has never been able to get out of that period of haze.
"I watched the performance during the day. Maybe... the shortcoming you mentioned... is the soul." Dongfang Ruo rarely speaks in such a deep voice.
But this time her answer made Lin Xue's eyes slowly light up.
correct……
She has not been the protagonist since a long time ago. After Lin disappeared, she became even paler...
