Chapter 230: The Fourth Choice
Removing a brick is a very dangerous thing for a building, but compared to this, it takes a thousand times more effort to put the bricks back in place, and even a little carelessness may cause the entire building to collapse.
Wei Lai understood this truth, he looked sideways at Lu Yan'er beside him, and Lu Yan'er was also looking at him.
The girl's face was sad and sad.
But it didn't last long, it was fleeting.
The next moment she suddenly laughed, the kind of heartfelt smile.
Wei Lai was stunned, somewhat confused.
But before this kind of confusion could be announced, Lu Yan'er suddenly said: "Ah Lai...... Thank you. ”
"Thank me for what?" Wei Lai wondered.
"Soon after I came to Boundless Academy, I received the news that my father had been killed. I really want to go back to Yandi and see my father, or to avenge him. But Zhao Gongzi persuaded me, and Shizun also persuaded me, and they told me that with my cultivation, even if I returned to Ningzhou, I would not be able to do anything with that evil dragon. ”
I thought about it for a long time, and even if I was very unwilling, I had to put this thought away for a while. In fact, I was also worried about your situation, after all, you were stupid at that time, and I thought that you left my father, and maybe you were dead. So...... I didn't come back, I didn't gamble that in my opinion, you don't have a single chance of living. I stayed here, thinking about practicing hard so that I could avenge you and my father. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yan'er smiled self-deprecatingly: "But I didn't expect that before waiting for that day, I myself suffered bad luck." ”
"You should know that I like him very much, I came to the Boundless Academy with him, practiced with him, and did everything with him. But I didn't expect that he would suddenly perform that terrible method on me on that day, as if he were a different person. ”
"Then I became a lonely ghost, and no one could remember me, no one could see me. Even if I was standing in front of them, they wouldn't be aware of my presence. Only my master could faintly hear my voice, and I tried my best to let him know about my existence, but in the end, I almost hurt him. ”
"From that day on, I realized that no one could save me, and that every time I asked for help, it could be a talisman for others. There is a force in the darkness that is constantly resisting my existence, and I am getting weaker and weaker day by day, both in body and mind. Until ......"
Speaking of this, the light in Lu Yan'er's eyes suddenly brightened, she looked up at Wei Lai, and said: "Until Ah Lai, you suddenly came, I was standing next to you at that time, I heard you keep telling everyone, you remember me, I am a real person!"
"Even if everyone doesn't believe you, you are still willing to persevere, and at that time, I suddenly had the strength to live again. ”
"Yan'er......" Hearing Lu Yan'er's words, Wei Lai's face also showed a look of distress.
He said: "Actually, Brother Zhao didn't do that out of his intention, but someone controlled him behind his back, and you should have seen the scene that day......"
"Of course I know that wasn't what he intended, and I can't say how much I blame him. Of course, it may be a bit hypocritical to say this, but Ah Lai, do you know, I used to have so many mountain alliances and sea vows with him, but in the end, it was only you who remembered me...
Saying this, Lu Yan'er's face showed a wry smile: "I can't help but feel a little lost just thinking about this." ”
"Yan'er ......" Wei Lai could probably understand the other party's mood, but he didn't know how to be relieved, and he wanted to stop talking for a while.
"You don't have to comfort me, when I told you this, I had already figured it out, and I just said this because I just wanted to talk. Lu Yan'er said this, and the sadness on her face immediately dissipated, and the bright smile hung between her eyebrows again.
"I never found out before, but now I think about it, you are really good to me, no matter when you are everywhere, you rely on me everywhere, think about me, and even come to this Dachu to save me for a memory that others think is false. ”
"When I was in Wupan City, you sheltered me from the wind and rain, and after I left, you avenged my father, Ah Lai...... You've done enough to me, and you're good enough......"
"So that's it. Lu Yan'er smiled and said this, turned her head to look at the white world, and shouted loudly towards that place: "Hey! Are you there?!"
The white world was silent for a while, and then replied in a muffled voice, "Hmm." ”
"We made a decision. Lu Yan'er said in the direction where the voice came from.
"What is it?" the voice asked again, his voice calm, not the slightest bit moved by Lu Yan'er's words.
It seems that the very nature of the existence of the voice is not touched by the emotions of mortals.
Lu Yan'er took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and was about to say, "I'm dead, he..."
The last word was hanging on his lips and he was about to say it, but at that moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and stopped him.
Lu Yan'er was stunned for a while, but the hand dragged her behind her at that time.
"This matter starts with me, and I should have the final say in making the decision. ”
The dull voice pondered for a moment, and then said, "It is naturally best for you to be able to choose unanimously, but if you can't, your decision will be the final and valid choice." ”
"Ah Lai!" Lu Yan'er was anxious when she saw this, and she shouted loudly to Wei Lai: "Ah Lai, you have done enough for me! You still have so many things to do! There are still so many people waiting for you, you can't die! And I am different, you see that they have forgotten me and live better." There is no difference at all in this world whether I have it or not..."
"There is a difference!" Wei Lai looked at Lu Yan'er seriously, and said word by word: "At least for me, you are very important! That's why I will cross thousands of miles to find you!"
Lu Yan'er's body trembled, of course she knew that these words were most likely Wei Lai's words to comfort her. But what she has to admit is that for her, who has been a "lonely ghost" for more than half a year, such words touched her very much.
Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, but this emotion did not give her the will to live, but strengthened her determination to die - Wei Lai was so selfless to her, how could she let him pay for his life again?
"Ah Lai, I don't want you to have anything to do with you anymore, if you exchange your life for my life, how can you let me have the face to live in this world in the future?" Lu Yan'er said in a serious and sincere voice.
She had already made up her mind in her heart, and every word she said at this moment was also heartfelt.
Wei Lai stretched out his hand and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said with a smile: "Yan."
Don't worry, I promise you we'll be fine. ”
I don't know if it's the reason why Wei is too sure, or if he has suffered various changes one after another and has lost his backbone, Lu Yan'er was stunned when he heard this, knowing that Wei Lai's words were absurd, but inexplicably there was a trace of extravagant hope in his heart that even he couldn't believe.
She watched Wei Lai walk to the front in a daze, and said loudly towards the white world: "Now, it's up to me to tell you my choice." ”
"There's not a lot of time left, it's time to make a choice. The muffled voice responded, "Then tell me your choice." ”
"My choice is..."Wei said this, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose: "There is no choice." ”
"Huh?" The dull voice was stunned, obviously not expecting Wei Lai to say such a thing at this time.
It seemed that it took him some time to digest the meaning of Wei Lai's words, and after a while, he said, "Can I understand that you chose to be wiped out with her?"
Lu Yan'er's face changed when she heard this, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but Wei Lai in front glanced back at her at that time and shook his head at her.
Lu Yan'er was stunned for a moment, but out of trust in Wei Lai, she still forcibly suppressed her worries.
"No, you can't. Wei Lai also said at this time, "I said, my choice is that there is no choice, so any of your choices do not have any meaning to me. You don't have to induce me to say anything, it's useless. ”
Wei Lai said this, and the dull voice fell silent again.
And this time the silence lasted longer and longer than every silence before.
"I think I've made it clear, if you—" The muffled voice sounded again.
This time, as soon as his words were spoken, he was interrupted by Wei Lai.
"If we don't make a choice, you'll wipe us all out, right?" Wei Lai said, pointing to the sandalwood that was about to burn out not far away, and said, "The time is almost up, Your Excellency can do as you say." ”
Wei Lai's words were firm, and there was no fear or uneasiness when he was about to die.
Lu Yan'er also noticed a little strangeness from the conversation between the two, but Rao was like this, but she couldn't help but be nervous in front of the major events related to her life and death, she looked at the sandalwood that was about to burn out, and her heart was raised to her throat at that time...
Burst.
With a soft sound, the sandalwood burned out completely.
Lu Yan'er's heart tightened, her eyes closed, and one hand subconsciously clenched the corner of Wei Lai's clothes in front of her at this time.
One breath, two breaths, and even dozens of breaths passed, and the sharp pain of imaginary obliteration did not occur.
Lu Yan'er opened her eyes and found that she was still in that white world, and everything had not changed at all from when she closed her eyes.
She blinked, a little glad and a little surprised.
She was about to open her mouth to ask Wei Lai, but at this moment, the young man's voice suddenly sounded again: "Now..."
"Can you tell us the fourth option?"
