CHAPTER XLIV

"Hey, if you want to redeem it, there's still a chance, right?"

Once again, the colors of the world have changed, and for the first time in a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info watched the things around her suddenly turn black and white, and Reimu, who was about to walk out of the room, turned around and glared angrily at the ghost witch who appeared among the other two girls who were looking at her in amazement: "I didn't call you out. What are you doing out here!?Get back !!! me."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I was really called out by you. It's true. Otherwise, I'll watch the play well," shrugged his shoulders, expressing his frustration, and the witch found a place to sit down, "Why are you wading into this troubled water? Your subconscious is calling me, so I appeared." It's as simple as that. ”

"Subconscious?" a sneer crossed her lips as Reimu walked over to the other partyβ€”it seems that this ghost witch was more like a "Hakurei witch" nowβ€”and grabbed her, "Do you think I'll take your word for it?"

"Believe it or not. Anyway, it turns out that I've already shown up, so we might as well have a good chat. Still with an indifferent expression, the Oni Witch pointed to Marisa and Sanae on the other side, "Anyway, you definitely won't be able to talk to them now." Ge Yiwei is not here, and the three-person woman will be a place for intrigue. The only one who can listen to you is me. Let's talk, there's no loss anyway. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After half a minute of silence, Reimu put the ghost witch down. She felt chagrined, because what she had just done was indeed a bit reckless. The simple reason for this is that Marisa wants to seek her and Sanae's help to simulate her life after she goes blind, and the worst she has ever planned for her eyes......

Deserve. Shouldn't she be blind?

Yes, that's it. After listening to Marisa's words, it was this sentence that lingered in Reimu's mind. The anger that arose from being concealed burned for a moment, and after she reacted, she had coldly rejected Marisa's offer, and directly knocked out the latter's hand to keep her. Of course, the force used may have been a little too much, and Marisa's wrist was already red and swollen...... However, the most lethal to those two people should be the next sentence:

"I don't want to help my rival who swallows information about Xiaowei's whereabouts alone. ”

Maybe it's because I'm dazed for a while. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to say this. But that's fine, after the showdown, there's no need to hide it anymore. Without that false friendship, there is nothing, the rival is the rival of love, a kind of enemy, an object to be defeated.

"Wars between women are particularly terrible. Shrugging her shoulders, the Witch gave her opinion again, "Basically, it will last a lifetime." However, your approach is too masculine. A woman can't justifiably show a hostile relationship, it's doomed to lose. ”

"Sounds like you're a man who understands women very well. ”

For this sentence of encouragement and irony, the ghost witch did not have any additional expression. With her usual calm and seemingly meaningful smile, she shook her head and once again pulled the topic back to what had happened before: "If you want to redeem it, is it too late?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What exactly do you want me to get back?"

"Of course it's friendship, friendship. Don't you want to redeem your friendship? That's a very important thing. Seeing that Reimu still looked disdainful, the Ghost Witch snorted with her nose, "Don't forget, these two people's combat power is still one of the best. If you have a good relationship with them, it will definitely be beneficial in the future. ”

"So cheap benefits, don't do it. Decisively giving a negative reply, Reimu glanced at Marisa and Sanae on the other side, who seemed to be frozen, "An enemy is an enemy. Once the hostile relationship is confirmed, there is no possibility of improvement - isn't that what you say? For women, war is a lifelong thing. ”

"Marisa and Sanae are so pitiful that they ran into a Hakurei shrine maiden like you. So, I'll go back first. Seeing that the conversation seemed to be completely out of the way, the Oni Witch yawned tiredly, "Good luck." Don't die, if you do, I won't be in a good state. ”

"Should I let you die right here?"

"If you can do it, I don't mind. But don't worry, even if you have full captainship privileges, you won't be able to do that. ”

This guy is always so elusive. Frowning in disgust, Reimu once again felt the change that was no longer a novelty in the world being recolored, turned around, turned his back to his two former friends, and resolutely pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

"Ah, thank you. ”

Holding Ge Chengzhi's outstretched hand, Yin Ying stood up from the ground and jumped twice as if to show that she was not injured. Then, for some reason, she fell down in the corridor and thanked Ge Chengzhi again: "Thank you very much." ”

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. Shaking his head and giving a standard answer, Ge Chengzhi glanced at the room next to him, "Are you waiting for Comrade Meng Haoran to come out?"

"Well, he seems to have something to do, so he asked me to help. After all, there are a lot of similarities between our majors. Nodding, Yin Ying smiled a little tiredly, but then sighed again, "That is, there seems to be no progress in the matter I promised Yulin......

"What did you promise Comrade Wang Yulin?"

Although he asked knowingly, Ge Chengzhi felt that it was necessary for him to ask this question: in addition to being polite on the social level, he also had a trace of "curiosity" about Yin Ying's motives. As he expected, with a certain bitter aura, Yin Ying spoke: "Of course, it is to restore the relationship between Comrade Meng Haoran and Comrade Lei Wenle to normal...... They're always like this, and it's definitely not good for the work......"

"Did Comrade Wang Yulin take the initiative to ask you to do this? I have actually known her since childhood, and this kind of action is a bit new to her. Usually she does this kind of thing herself. ”

"Are you and her childhood sweethearts?" Looking at Ge Chengzhi with a little surprise, Yin Ying exclaimed as if she had discovered some new treasure, "This is really this is really ...... What an amazing discovery. Isn't there a saying that there is no suspicion in this mission? Hostile people, people who used to be lovers, and a pair of childhood sweethearts......"

"You know a lot of things. ”

was so lukewarmly rejected, Yin Ying was a little shy. Scratching her head, she squirmed and choked out a few words: "After all...... Gossip or something...... I still like it very much. I often listen to Tan Suya's old man...... She seems to be quite lonely......"

"So, do you need my help?" Regarding this kind of girl's performance, Ge Chengzhi smiled lightly in his heart, and immediately changed the topic to another direction, "About how to restore the relationship between the two." If there's anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate to let us know. ”

"Ah, well, thank you, but not yet. Seeing that Meng Haoran was about to come out, Yin Ying nodded, as if she wanted to end the conversation immediately, "You can go first." Safe work is also important, isn't it?"

…… At such a time, it is clear that it is not necessary to ask with a dead face. According to Ge Chengzhi's observation, with Yin Ying's efforts, Lei Wenle and Meng Haoran did have some changes, but obviously not in a good sense: Yin Ying's own appearance turned her efforts into a boost to the deterioration of the situation. Originally, the contradiction between these two men was because of jealousy, but now, there is such a person inserted between the two people......

Perhaps the previous tragedy will be repeated. I have to stop this worst before it happens.

The journey to Mars is coming to an end, and they are about to reach their destination. Helena didn't take any further action, perhaps realizing that her mission had failed, the shadow of the other eavesdropper was never found, and the identity and purpose of the other party could not be clarified, and Wang Zhaoming did not get the full picture of the plan as he expected, no matter what his purpose was, he must be annoyed somewhere now. However, under the impetus of Ouyang Pingshui, more information about the 0001 project was indeed revealedβ€”within the permissible range, of course, and, more crucially, ......

The three people who are said to have woken up from the hibernation of the moon capital seem to have broken up completely.

It's hard to say that this is a good thing. Once again, the complexity of team relationships has increased. And this is definitely not what Ge Chengzhi wants to see. In any case, the spacecraft is about to dock, and as long as you get in touch with the comrades of the "labor protection gloves" as soon as possible, you will be able to get organizational assistance in terms of intelligence, manpower, and other aspects. The current inspection team is a pile of explosives, and the slightest spark can detonate it. What Ge Chengzhi has to do is to find out the fuse before Mars appears and cut it off completely......

This isn't going to be the first mission you've ever failed in your career, is it?

With this bad feeling in mind, he walked towards his room with a heavy heart.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

We should admit that there are many times in life when self-satisfaction is quite important. To take the simplest example, our protagonist, Comrade Ge Yiwei. He initially seemed to be a desireless guy, and the only slightly special identity was to become a national defense student. It was an identity with a stable future, especially for the background of his military father: but, after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, he decisively abandoned it. chose to run to the front line as an "accurate shooter" - to put it bluntly, it is cannon fodder. Why is that?

Because of self-satisfaction.

Then, it turns out that a guy like him, who has a science and engineering head but is emotionally hot-headed, is not suitable to be a soldier. He seems to feel that there is nothing wrong with everything he does, even if he directly tries to kill the "deliberate" underage girl after he first enters the shrine, or decisively and simply abandons the responsibilities and obligations of the soldiers and directly blasts the headquarters into the sky with a ring of grenades, he has inexplicable moral confidence in his choices and actions. He felt the pain, yes, but he never thought he was wrong. Why is that?

Because he feels that he can get self-satisfaction from this obsession.

Subsequently, he learned the truth - fortunately, we say, the reality is not so cruel to him, and does not completely deny the truth that he "reasoned" because of his passion: at least the Chinese are indeed all crazy, but the reason lies in him. Then, he wants to commit suicide, but is "redeemed" by the Gensokyo trio - a key word. Subsequently, he chose to roll back to China, as if he wanted to continue to harm others and himself. Why is that?

Because he feels that this choice can carry out his obsession and get self-satisfaction from it.

Self-satisfaction is like a spell that has been haunting Ge Yiwei as a person. In other words, he seems to live for self-satisfaction. Why don't you start with the trio who have always been with you and have good intentions? Why, after having regained the opportunity to choose, do you always pursue the destruction of the time machine? because of self-satisfaction. Why did you finally know the fact of the time machine, let Mianyue Yiji stab herself to death? Because of self-satisfaction. So, self-satisfaction is important. It's really important.

Of course, in the eyes of some people, this kind of thing is glorified. The most typical example is the three women who have been by Ge Yiwei's side. They call it "responsibility" and insist that accountability is a beautiful thing, even if it comes at a great cost. It's actually quite an interesting phenomenon: no one knows what's wrong with these people's brains. However, if these people don't have a problem with their brains, the story is a little unenjoyable.

At the very least, it will make me, the observer, a little unpleasant.

I'm sorry to use the first person again, because I think some things always need to be in the first person to be expressed, especially when you want to talk to someone like this – Wang Wangwang's diary (I hope you remember him) is the best example of this.

All in all, people who try to live for self-satisfaction are the more interesting kind. I had already discussed this matter with the teacher when he was there, but he said impatiently that now was not the time to talk about such a thing, and that I should not discuss such a thing with him. Maybe it was because the timing wasn't right......

The Project 0001 mission team's spacecraft is getting closer to their destination, Mars. And it's at this destination that things will go even further. Some of these people are plotting for their own future interests, some are conflicting for the sake of intuitive emotions, some are simply trying to achieve the seemingly modest mission goal, and some are gathering information to try to be the last line of insurance when everything is about to become irreparable.

At such times, they who have always lived for self-satisfaction will undoubtedly become the perfect spice. Now it seems that all the contradictions, all the conflicts, may be some small trigger that leads to a final result that I did not expect at the time: I have revealed before that I once peeked into the face of the "future" at that time, but that "future" has long been deviated. I'm trying to review my sense of surprise so that I can make my text more engaging.

This interlude was a bit too long. Now, the third act of the drama can finally be regarded as officially opened-

- As is customary, at this time, a question should be thrown with a little malice:

"What the hell is a non-observer?"
