Chapter 83: Recruiting Companions (4)
(Take a day off, the state has recovered some, ask for recommendations and collections.) )
Do you want to deny your past?
These were the last words Zhou Yan said after hearing Yasuo narrate his thoughts.
And because of these words, Yasuo's eyes became sharp, and the air in the field couldn't help but condense slightly, revealing a sense of tension.
Keen to notice the change in the atmosphere, Yoyo looked at Zhou Yan with a worried expression.
But in the face of Yasuo's faintly murderous aura, Zhou Yan was unmoved: "You hate your past and present selves so much, do you want to deny YiqiΔ?" β
"What do you know?" Yasuo said to Zhou Yan in a mocking tone: "How much can you understand me? β
"So, why do you think I don't understand anything?" Zhou Yan replied sarcastically with an unflinching attitude.
Yes, why do you have the attitude that you are the hero of the tragedy? Do you have something you regret and I don't have it?
Complex and complicated thoughts emerged in my heart, as if a memory of the past had been forcibly poured into my mind.
In the days when he learned of Zhu'er's death, in the days when he was immersed in the news of her death, and in the days when he was reminiscing about her qiΔ, Zhou Yan also fantasized countless times that if he could travel back in time and return to that day, would he be able to protect her? This idea had been lingering in Zhou Yan's mind for a long time, corroding his mind like poison.
However, at that time, Zhou Yan's mother keenly discovered his ideological problems, so she had a mother-son conversation with Zhou Yan.
"What do you understand! You don't understand my mood at all! At that time, Zhou Yan said words that were not much different from Yasuo's meaning, and he was more hysterical than Yasuo at that time, and it seemed even more unreasonable.
However, for the manic Zhou Yan, his mother was neither angry, nor did she slap him in the face to try to sober him up, let alone smile and still came over with a sword for Zhou Yan to practice well.
At that time, the mother smiled softly, as if the older boy who was already much taller than her standing in front of her was still just a former child.
She stretched out her hand and touched Zhou Yan's head, but Zhou Yan, who never dared to resist her mother, did not knock off her mother's hand even though she was irritable.
"Do you really want to deny this qiΔ so much? Denying yourself that has persisted to this day? Deny me? Denying everyone who is desperately trying to live in other places? β
"I, I'm just, I just want to save Yu'er, I didn't deny other people's ......" Zhou Yan naturally tried to explain.
But if you change the past, won't the present also change? The past is part of who we are. If that part is gone, we don't have it now. Xiao Yan, do you want to kill me, kill others, kill yourself, and kill Zhu'er? β
"I, I'm not ......" Zhou Yan, who didn't know what to refute, said hurriedly: "Yu'er is dead!" How do I kill her? β
"Yes, I'm dead now. But if Xiao Yan saved her, then the dead Zhu'er will be denied by you. Isn't the meaning of her existence equivalent to being erased by you and killed by you? β
"Mom, you're too strong." An older boy in high school cried. Perhaps, it was just because he felt helpless because he knew that he would never think about saving her again.
"That's it, the cunning of adults." As for the mother, she just gently stroked Zhou Yan's head with an apologetic and gentle smile.
Because of his personal experience, when he found that Yasuo had ideas that were almost the same as those of himself, Zhou Yan would say that sentence.
"You understand?" Yasuo's suspicious gaze swept over Zhou Yan.
"Probably, I can still understand the feeling of regret and wanting to change." Zhou Yan scratched his cheeks with a smile, and he didn't know if he remembered his former self.
When Yoyo saw Zhou Yan's expression, he seemed to see something else. That's sadness hidden in the smile. The girl opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Yan?" However, the spiritual connection made the true feelings xΓΉ can't hide from Li at all, feeling the sadness in Zhou Yan's heart, Li asked at the exit.
"What?"
"You ......," a certain god hesitated, "Are you alright?" I just feel ......."
"It's fine, just sentimental in the memory. Ahaha, alright, let me focus on what I'm looking for. β
"Hmm." Li agreed softly. It's just that she can't lie, how could she deceive her just based on Zhou Yan's words? It's just that Glass understands that silence is the best answer right now.
Ending the conversation with Li, Zhou Yan looked at Yasuo: "So, do you want to deny the past so much?" β
"Why not?" Yasuo asked rhetorically.
"My mother once told me that regret is not because you know that you will do it all over again, so you regret it." Zhou Yan smiled: "Moreover, if you want to change the past, aren't you denying your current situation?" At the same time, he is also denying the Yongen who died for you. Isn't denying the meaning of his existence, denying his choice, killing him? Isn't it against your original intention to kill him before you can save him? β
"What a cunning rhetoric." After listening to Zhou Yan's words, Yasuo laughed, and his smile was very helpless.
"My mother also said that it was the cunning of adults." Zhou Yan also smiled, his expression full of nostalgia.
Whether it is Yasuo or Zhou Yan, they don't care at all if they will deny other unrelated people. What they cared about, or really changed their mind, was still because of the person they cared about.
If you have to kill him (her) before saving him (her), then what you are doing will not seem meaningless?
With this idea, Zhou Yan and Yasuo's choice was the same. They have given up in their minds the idea of changing the past. Of course, this is just Zhou Yan and Yasuo. Maybe there really is such a persistent person who wants to change the past, even if he denies the present?
After Zhou Yan's voice fell, there was a long silence between the two. Yoyo's worried gaze wandered over the two of them from time to time.
I don't know how long it took, Yasuo spoke again: "Okay, in that case, I might as well cooperate with you." β
However, before Zhou Yan was happy because of this reply, Yasuo had already spoken again: "Before that, answer me a question first." β
"You ask."
"What is the power of your gods?"
Zhou Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Yasuo to ask such a question. This question is related to the abilities of the gods, and in some ways even divulging their own information.
Is it to test my sincerity? After such a thought flashed in his mind, Zhou Yan nodded and said without hesitation: "Tasks and sacrifices, I can use an oath, what I said is true." β
Zhou Yan's oath is also the best proof. Yasuo nodded at his behavior, as if he recognized Zhou Yan.
Yes, Zhou Yan did not lie, and even his oath proved that he did not lie. However, just because he didn't lie doesn't mean he's finished telling the truth. Li's abilities are indeed missions and sacrifices. And Zhou Yan just didn't tell the fact that Li had lost this ability. As for Zhou Yan's word trick, of course Yasuo didn't know.
"In exchange, I'll sue you for my ability." However, what Zhou Yan didn't expect was Yasuo's next words.
When Zhou Yan was stunned, Yasuo spoke again: "Kong's ability can transfer people's consciousness. I can also prove this to be true with an oath. β
In this world, an oath is the ability to be bound by the actual existence. So the oath is the best proof. Of course, it is not known how many people have learned to play word games with vows.
At least Yasuo, who didn't know that Zhou Yan had played a word game, revealed the information on his side lightly.
However, in his opinion, this is just an exchange, and it is also enough sincerity for the two to show each other.
As for Zhou Yan, he no longer has time to think about this. He was shocked by Yasuo's words. It would be more correct to say that he was shocked by the ability of the deity called "Gong".
Shifting consciousness? Isn't this exactly the ability that Marisa needs to regain the approval of Wang Yu after analyzing Wang Yu before?
