Chapter Twenty-Five: Forward! Forward!
Even though it's night, the streets are still full of people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoBai Qi and his party walked through the sea of people and watched the lights of thousands of homes.
While Alice Phil and the three little Loli were enjoying the bustling night scene, Bai Qi and Saber were chatting.
"Is it interesting to tease an ordinary person like this?" Saber asked in a deep voice.
"It's just a small punishment. Bai Qi admired the night view and said casually.
Although the black-hearted boss knelt down and begged Bai Qi, Bai Qi still packed up all the dolls he shot and took them away.
"You are a bully, an unrighteous act. Saber said.
"Injustice? If this is injustice, then what is justice? Is it justice to sit idly by and ignore the black-hearted boss's practice of deceiving others?" Bai Qi asked rhetorically.
"He has done evil, and his own law has judged. When you use your strength to teach him, it is like lynching, and it is an act of indiscriminate violence. β
Bai Qi tilted his head and glanced at Saber.
"O saber! The so-called law is nothing but rules made by others. We are strong and we don't have to follow other people's rules. What we have to do -- is to make the rules. β
"It is precisely because we are strong and have great strength that we must restrain ourselves. The power of not being controlled, doing as you please, and being at the mercy of your desires will only bring disaster. Saber raised his voice.
"My power is under my own control, and there is no reason to obey the rules of others. Bai Qi said.
Saber suddenly stopped and looked at Bai Qi seriously.
"Bai Qi, do you know that this kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous. You can teach the boss a lesson now for looking at him unpleasantly, and you can kill someone later for looking at him unpleasantly. β
Bai Qi sighed.
"Ellie is right, you don't know me. As I said, I'm strong. The so-called strong person must not only have strong strength, but also have a strong heart. I don't follow other people's rules because I have my own principles. β
"Then let me ask you, if one day, you have the power to destroy the world, will you destroy it because you are dissatisfied with the world?"
Bai Qi paused, and after a moment-
"Who knows?"
With that, he moved on. Saber followed.
"You didn't deny it, which means that you know you might do it. β
"So what?
"You-"
The increasingly heated argument between Bai Qi and Saber finally catches the attention of Alice Phil and the three little Lori. They stopped, looking at the two of them with some concern.
"Mom, are they arguing?" asked Elia Phil.
Alice Fell shook her head.
"No, it's just a misconception. β
On the other side, Bai Qi and Saber continued to talk.
"Saber, you said you gave everything you had to the country?"
"Not bad. β
"That's the difference between you and me. β
"Huh?"
"After you pulled out the sword in the stone and succeeded to the throne, Britain became more powerful than ever. You led the Knights of the Round Table against aggression, winning all twelve battles, expanding your territory, and defeating the mighty Roman Empire until the Battle of the Sword-Railingβ"
Bai Qi didn't say any more, because Saber's face showed a look of pain, and Bai Qi's words brought back painful memories for her.
The Battle of Sword Fence (Battle of Kamran) was a civil war. In this civil war, Artoria was mortally wounded, the Knights of the Round Table were almost completely lost, and Britain suffered a major blow and was sharply weakened. Shortly thereafter, Britain was doomed.
Grief-stricken by the demise of the country under her rule, Artoria made a pact with the "World" to become a Heroic Saber and participate in the Holy Grail War, wanting to win the Holy Grail, and make a wish to go back in time and change the history of her becoming a king, so that someone more suitable can be the king.
The master who signed a contract with the servant sometimes peeked into the memories of the heroic spirit in a dream, and Bai Qi didn't know this history, but he learned everything in his dreams.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Saber asked, calming down.
"Let's make a hypothetical that you are the king and you lead your people forward until you reach a cliff, what will you do?"
Saber's face sank, and this assumption was an allusion to her history of leading Britain. To lead her people forward means to lead Britain to prosperity, and to walk to the precipice refers to the battle of the sword.
"I'm going to make people take a detour and find a new path. Saber said.
"No, no, no, history cannot be changed, just as time can only move forward, not backwards. So, you can only move forward, but there are cliffs ahead. Now, what are you going to do?" Bai Qi shook his finger and continued to ask.
Saber's face became more and more ugly.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Let's go back to square one, you said, you have dedicated everything you have to the country, I understand this to mean that you are willing to sacrifice for the country, right?"
Saber hesitated.
"Not bad. β
"If, I mean, if you could fill the cliff with your own body, you would not hesitate to jump off and let your people step on their bodies and walk over the cliff, right?"
A strange look flashed in Saber's eyes.
Is this a compliment to yourself?
"I'm not as great as you say. She said.
Bai Qi shook his head.
"But that's what you say, that's your sacrifice for your country. β
A blank look flashed in Saber's eyes.
"I don't know. β
Bai Qi's eyes suddenly became fierce, which made Saber tremble. She knew that Bai Qi was finally going to show his fangs.
"But that's just a hypothesis, but the truth is that your petite body can't fill the cliff at all, and everyone has to keep going, so in the end, everyone will fall into the cliff, and everyone will die. Bai Qi said sharply.
Saber remembered the scene of the fall of Britain, isn't this what Bai Qi said about falling into a cliff?
She looked pained: she had fallen into the cliff with Britain, everything was her own fault, and she had to change all this.
"Bai Qi!"
Alice Phil finally couldn't help but speak, trying to stop the argument between the two. Bai Qi shook his head at her, signaling that she didn't have to worry. Alice Phil worries you, but in the end she chooses to trust Bai Qi.
Bai Qi looked at Saebr again.
"Do you know what I would do in the face of such a situation?"
"Huh?"
Saber looked blankly at Bai Qi. The corners of Bai's mouth raised slightly, revealing a wild smile.
"I will give the order to let the people advance, let them jump, let them fill the cliff with their bodies. If they don't want to, I'll push them down. One person fills the cliff that cannot be filled, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousandγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» can always be filled. The rest of the people, stepping on the corpse, continued to move on. β
Saber's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Bai Qi in shock, and Alice Fell was also stunned, only the three little Loli didn't understand anything and looked at them inexplicably.
"This kind of behavior γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» only a tyrant does. You, you, you're a demon at all. Saber said tremblingly.
Bai Qi restrained his smile and became indifferent.
"Do you really think so?"
"That's nature. β
"Have you ever thought that the tyrant in your mouth, although it has brought countless casualties, has allowed some of its people to survive and continue to move forward. And you, a 'benevolent gentleman', led everyone to perdition. β
Hearing this, Saber was like a lightning strike. She staggered back two steps.
"No, how can this be?" she thought bitterly.
"Even if all the people are dead, and in the end I am the only one who survives, the fire of the country is still preserved, and we still have the last glimmer of hope. And you, sacrificing yourself, can't save everyone, you can only bring despair. β
Saber suddenly despaired. It turns out that everything I do can only bring despair. But what is wrong with you?
As if hearing Saber's heart, Bai Qi said again: "You must be wondering what you are doing wrong." β
Saber looked up at Bai Qi with a pleading look in his eyes.
Tell me, what was wrong with me?, she asked silently.
Bai raised his sword eyebrows.
"You're wrong -- you shouldn't back down! Since you can only move forward, then keep moving forward, and keep moving forward. The people are afraid of death and dare not move forward, and if you think about them and obey their will, you think that if you can't fill the cliff with the bodies of your people, then fill the cliff with your own bodies, and in doing so, you will only bring destruction.
Remember, you are the king, and it should be the people who obey your will, not you who obey theirs, and that's the difference between you and me. β
"What's the difference?" Saber asked.
"You obey everyone's will, and I-"
Bai Qi's eyes burst with divine light.
"My will is the will of all beings!"
