Chapter 229: Choice

How am I?

Wei Lai's face was strange when he heard that voice.

"Who the hell is Your Excellency, why do you want to pretend to be a ghost!" Wei Lai shouted loudly towards the white space with some irritation.

"Pretending to be a god...... This time the muffled voice responded quickly, but slowly, like a babbling child carefully repeating unintelligible words.......

"Not true. It's not pretending. Again, the voice spoke much more fluently than before: "Pretending to be a ghost means something false, and I ...... What I show and what I show you is the real thing, the difference is that they haven't happened yet. ”

Hasn't happened yet?

Wei Lai was stunned when he heard this, he vaguely sensed from the other party's words that the other party didn't seem to be a human being, or it wasn't a human who knew the language of the northern realm.

Wei Lai secretly wrote down this, but he didn't break it, but thought that what the other party said in his words had not happened yet.

"So what Your Excellency just showed me was just an illusion?" Wei Lai asked again.

"It's not. The voice replied in a muffled voice.

Wei Lai was a little confused: "Since it didn't happen, it wasn't an illusion, so what did Your Excellency show me?"

"The illusions are fake, but these things are real, they just haven't happened yet. So, those are not illusions. The other party seemed to be very concerned about chewing on the superficial meaning of the words, and he corrected it very seriously.

Wei Lai was a little helpless, in line with the truth that people don't bow their heads under the eaves, he simply didn't entangle with the other party on this issue, but asked: "Then no matter whether this thing is real or not, what is Your Excellency letting us see this thing for?"

The dull voice was silent for a moment, and then repeated Wei Lai's words in confusion: "Threat?"

"People who have desires will achieve their desires by threatening others, but I won't, I'm giving you a choice. ”

"Choice?" This time it was Wei Lai's turn to be puzzled, and he asked in a deep voice, "Choice?

"You want to save her?" the voice asked.

Wei Lai looked sideways at Lu Yan'er beside him, Lu Yan'er also looked at him at that time, Wei Lai did not hesitate, he nodded heavily at that time, and said firmly: "I want to save her." ”

"What you just saw was the price to save her. In that case, you want to save her too?" the dull voice asked again.

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your Excellency needs to trick me, I will save Yan'er, how can there be such a price? Or does Your Excellency want to threaten him?"

"I said that there is a threat only if there is a seeker, I ...... There is no demand, so it is not a threat, it is just a choice. The muffled voice spoke.

Wei Lai was still puzzled, and he asked, "Why should I make the choice that Your Excellency gave me!?"

"The power of cause and effect is one of the essential elements of the existence of this world, and they are like the scaffolds, the pillars, and ...... to build a tall building."

"Tearing down any one of them could cause the entire building to collapse. ”

The dull voice sounded: "If you want to save her, the cause and effect of heaven and earth will be changed because of this, and you will have to pay the price for it. ”

"If you have to take, you have to give?" Wei Lai muttered the other party's words, and suddenly said with a smile: "Who is Your Excellency, if you have time to talk to me here about these big truths, it is better to explain what you want to do." ”

"I said, I'm going to let you choose. The voice said again.

Wei Lai's brows furrowed, and Lu Yan'er on the side also stepped forward: "What choice! If you want to kill or chop your hands! Why pretend to be a ghost!"

Lu Yan'er was victimized by the law of annihilation, and lived in that ghost-like state for half a year, and it was not too much for her to say that life was worse than death. Since the other party used means to summon them here at this time, Lu Yan'er naturally subconsciously regarded it as the culprit in her heart, how could she be kind to the other party?

"......" The voice was silent for a while under Lu Yan'er's questioning, and then said: "You have half an hour to make your choice, save her, you have to die, everything that happened in that picture will become a reality, if you don't save it, everything is the status quo, I will erase the memory about her." But once that time has passed, you will all be erased. ”

As soon as the voice spoke, a pillar of burning sandalwood appeared in front of Wei Lai and Lu Yan'er, and as time passed, the sandalwood began to be burned, inch after inch, obviously this was the half-hour countdown that the voice said.

"Why should we listen to you!" Lu Yan'er shouted loudly around angrily, the other party's attitude of not advancing oil and salt and being high-minded really made Lu Yan'er a little annoyed.

Select ...... Not an order, not a threat, just a choice, a necessary choice. The voice spoke again, in a dull tone that was not emotional.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Wei Lai asked in a deep voice with a frown, he no longer dwelled on the previous question, but directly asked about the identity of the other party.

He vaguely sensed from the other party's strange performances in the previous conversation, and it seemed that the other party's identity was not as simple as he thought.

First of all, he couldn't be the one who wiped out Lu Yan'er at the beginning, after all, Wei Lai had had a few contacts with that person before this, and the other party's cultivation was profound, and he was extremely strong in terms of logical motivation and on-the-spot adaptability, but this guy in front of him seemed a little wooden, so it would not be the same person.

And the purpose of that person's method of annihilation must have been to hide some secrets, but the person in front of him didn't mention that secret, but blindly forced Wei Lai and Lu Yan'er to make the so-called choice, so it seems that the two are not only unrelated, but in a sense, the motives behind what they did are also very likely to be completely different.

The owner of that dull voice seemed to be more like some kind of existence that maintained the order of the Heavenly Dao.

Although these are just wishful thinking on the part of Wei Lai, in the previous conversation, Wei Lai had already released his divine sense to find a way to break the situation, but at this moment, the place they were in was extremely strange Wei Lai's divine sense could not break through the blockade of the other party at all, so now Wei Lai could only change his mind and think that he could find some way to break the situation by following the other party's intentions.

"I ...... No name. The voice was silent for a moment, then answered with some sluggishness.

Wei Lai frowned, he didn't know if the other party was doing this on purpose, or if he was really as nameless as he said.

He didn't dwell too much on this issue, and then asked: "Your Excellency said that if I want to save Yan'er, I have to make a choice, so dare to ask Your Excellency, when others used the method of annihilation to erase her cause and effect, did Your Excellency let that villain make a choice?"

"Nope. The voice replied quickly this time.

"Why?" Lu Yan'er stepped forward and asked loudly.

But the voice said, "Because ......."

With these words, a streamer of light appeared in front of the two of them, and a huge tower appeared, and the voice continued: "Erasing cause and effect is like removing a brick from under this platform. ”

As he spoke, a brick under the platform was suddenly pulled off, and several bricks connected to it around it collapsed, and this collapse spread upwards, from the stones to the supports, there were some large or small displacements, but in the end, although such displacement affected the entire building, the entire building still stood and did not collapse.

"Erasing a person's cause and effect is not a good thing, but at least he won't destroy the tower, the tower is still there, it's just going to have a little impact, so they need to pay some price that you don't know, but it's much more than having to make a choice, but you're not ......the same," the voice said.

"What's the difference, if you really want this building to be good, you shouldn't stop us, they destroyed this building, and we are trying to find a way to fix him!" Lu Yan'er said loudly in confusion.

"Repair?" The tone of the voice was still calm, and as these words came out, a brick suddenly appeared in Lu Yan'er's hand.

"Now that the brick is in your hand, you can try to put it back in place without affecting the entire floor. ”

"Can you do it?"

Lu Yan'er and Wei Lai were stunned when they heard this, the original position of this brick is located under the platform, which is hundreds of zhang high, because of the departure of a brick, the entire platform from top to bottom every structure has moved a little, if you want to put this brick back in place, you have to move the position of each structure on the height of hundreds of zhang to their original position, so that this stone brick that was taken out before can be safely put back in place.

Lu Yan'er and Wei Lai were both smart people, and they had doubts about what the voice said, and they were not even angry, but at this moment, this situation made them suddenly realize how difficult it was to put a brick back into the collapsed building.

It's like reconnecting the cause and effect that has been severed, and how difficult it is.

Wei Lai suddenly remembered what Wei Shou had said, it was much easier to destroy than to create.

"Now you understand, right? I didn't mean to make it difficult, but it was what it was. ”

"You can put her back if you want, but you can't make up for the collapse of this building, because the process is too difficult, so difficult that even the slightest mistake can make the whole building doomed, so the only way to save her is to swap her with a brick, and you are the brick, so you have to make a choice......"

"Because that's the only way. ”

Speaking of this, the sandalwood resurfaced in front of Wei Lai and Lu Yan'er again, and at this moment the sandalwood was already more than half burned, which meant that the two of them naturally knew what it was.

"You still have a quarter of an hour to make your choice. ”
