Xu Xincheng's heart felt a strong fear, Lucy's expression at the moment and the words just now were telling him that the answer would be a very amazing answer, and that truth would be a very amazing truth.

He remembered the "fable of the iron house" in Mr. Lu Xun's "The Scream", and he is now facing a similar situation.

He is now also in an "iron house", which is an "iron house" imprisoned by time and space, and in this "iron house", he cannot see the future, and does not know what the future will be. However, for the future, he is always full of good vision, always feels that the future will be beautiful, more precisely, he is more willing to choose to believe that the future will be beautiful.

However, if there is an opportunity, an opportunity that allows him to peek into the future, and this opportunity, most likely, will allow him to see a not so good future, or even a bad future, then what kind of choice should he make? How should he choose?

At this time, he has two choices in the "iron house":

First, choose to give up the opportunity to peek into the future, and continue to be a person full of beautiful visions for the future, and be an "ignorant and unconscious" person. For an ordinary person like him, being an "ignorant and unconscious" person may be the greatest luck.

Second, choose to peek into the future and predict the truth about the future, no matter what that truth is, even if it is a bad truth, he must be a "awake" person.

At the moment, his sensibility kept telling him: "Choose the former." Select the former. Select the former. Choose to be an ignorant person. ”

But there was another voice in his heart, and that voice came from the deepest part of his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, the reason why he has been so tireless on the road of seeking knowledge, and the reason why he is so persevering on the road of pursuing the truth is because he has a natural attachment to the truth, because he wants to live and understand this life, because he wants to have more, deeper and more real understanding of the world.

At this moment, his reason keeps telling him, "You have to choose the latter." You have to choose the latter. You have to choose the latter. Choose to be an awakened person. ”

Xu Xincheng took a deep breath, he decided to listen to his own reason, for so many years, when emotion and reason conflicted, he would always make the same choice, choose to listen to his own reason.

He straightened his back, clenched his fists, and said firmly, "Lucy, I decided to choose the latter. ”

The look on Lucy's face became solemn and solemn, this was the first time, the first time to see her so serious, his heart couldn't help but be nervous and curious, a little apprehensive and a little expectant.

"Steve, from today onwards, I'm going to tell you something that no one else knows, something about the future, something about the future. Can you promise not to disclose these things to anyone?"

"Absolutely. I promise not to reveal it to anyone!" he said without thinking, in a resolute tone.

"From this day forward, I will also tell you my secrets one by one, some of them will even be secrets of the highest secret level, secrets that I will not tell a second person in this world. Can you promise to keep these secrets?"

Although he was mentally prepared, Xu Xincheng was still stunned, and he muttered in his heart: "Top secret secrets? Oh my God! What kind of secrets will they be?"

He couldn't help but hesitate again, it was too late to regret it, just tell Lucy that he had changed his mind and that he didn't want to know the secrets, and that would be fine.

He quickly took a deep breath, and immediately thought again: "Since my reason has made a decision, let's stick to this decision!" At this time, even his sensibility changed dramatically, and he developed a strong intuition in his heart, which told him: "This is the right choice." ”

He said solemnly: "As long as these secrets are not illegal, immoral, or contrary to public order and good customs, I will definitely keep them secret, and I will definitely be able to keep them secret!!

He felt that he had to add those three prerequisites in front of him, otherwise, he would be irresponsible to himself or to society.

Lucy said, "You're pretty strict. However, this quality of yours is also one of the important reasons why I trust you. ”

Xu Xincheng smiled awkwardly, but he immediately put away his smile, held his breath, and looked at her intently.

Lucy had a solemn look on his face and said, "Steve, next, I'm going to tell you my first secret. ”
