When Ji Zihe heard Huang Ran's sentence asking him to sneak into the 'Eight Bottoms' prison, he instinctively avoided danger.

"I refuse."

Without any hesitation, Ji Zihe decisively rejected Huang Ran's request.

"Huh? Why? This is a matter of seeking stability for the empire and mankind, how many people do not hesitate to feed tigers with their lives for this goal, how can you refuse to do so? ”

Huang Ran, who thought that he would readily agree to his request, gradually became angry in his heart after hearing Ji Zihe's refusal.

"Do you know how many heroic souls and dry bones are buried in this relatively stable environment where you live now?"

Huang Ran couldn't help but raise her voice and said to Ji Zihe.

"So should I just be sent to death without knowing anything?"

After Ji Zihe heard Huang Ran's words, he was also angry in his heart.

"If you die in the 'eight-bottom' prison, this is a sacrifice, not a death."

Listening to Huang Ran's arrogant words, Ji Zi said angrily: "Since it is a sacrifice, then why don't you let your family go?" ”

"If my family can go, do you think it will be your turn?" Huang Ran said it without thinking when Ji Zihe's words just landed.

When he heard this, the angry look on Ji Zihe's face froze. At this time, he understood that the person in front of him was not a person who was afraid of death.

Relatively speaking, if it is for the hard-won peace forged by the ancestors with blood and dry bones, this person will completely pull his own people to the battlefield together.

"I'm not going anyway."

Ji Zihe's voice weakened, in the face of this kind of person who worries about the world first, he can't resent it no matter what.

After speaking, Ji Zihe turned around and left.

"Huangkou child, I don't know the severity. The head of the family will wake you up today. ”

After speaking, Huang Ran, who was full of anger, was ready to catch up with Ji Zihe, and at this time, Wu Hua stood in front of him.

"Huang Ran, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't force it. Even if you kill him today, I'm afraid he won't agree to you. Wang Yanxi opened his mouth and said: "If you keep forcing him, judging from the tone that he has weakened just now, even he will die in your hands, it will be much happier than dying in the 'Eight Bottoms' prison." ”

"Hmph."

Huang Ran shook his hand angrily and left.

"Wang Yanxi, the reason why you appeared in a place like Fengyuan City where birds don't is probably because of the black water. The head of the family admires your wisdom, but for the sake of the big picture, I can't guarantee that I will do anything. Shape up or ship out. ”

When he left, Huang Ran's words echoed in the entire 'Shenxing' mercenary organization.

The entire first floor fell into a deathly silence.

"I'll go see Zihe, you can do it yourself."

After that, Wang Yanxi came to the third floor.

Looking at Ji Zihe, who was sitting sulking in the corner, Wang Yanxi, a twelve-year-old girl, had a smile on her face.

"If you're trying to persuade me to go to jail, then don't talk about it."

Ji Zihe blocked Wang Yanxi's idea in one bite.

"No, I'm here for something and I want to tell you."

Wang Yanxi didn't seem to hear the anger in Ji Zihe's words.

"What's the matter?"

Although Ji Zihe was still angry in his heart, he couldn't help but wonder what Wang Yanxi wanted to tell him at this time.

"Do you know what 'Blackwater' is?" Wang Yanxi asked.

"I don't know, but from what you just said, 'Blackwater' is almost a dark organization that wants to make trouble. What else can be done? If it is to maintain world peace, why should Huang Ran be so angry? ”

Ji Zihe said casually.

"You're right, if outsiders hear what we just said, he could easily conclude that 'Blackwater' is a dark organization, but it's not."

"Not? What is that? ”

Ji Zihe was also aroused by curiosity at this time.

"As you said, Blackwater was indeed an organization that maintained the peace of the Empire in the first place. But now it's hard to judge in terms of the way they act. Wang Yanxi said.

"Good and evil?"

"If it is said to be both good and evil, this is good, although it is different, but it can be said to be good and evil itself. It's just different from what people normally think is positive. ”

Wang Yanxi said.

"What the hell is 'Blackwater'?"

did not continue to discuss 'good and evil' with Wang Yanxi, and immediately returned to the topic.

"Before that, I want to ask you, do you know why I am in Fengyuan City? Wang Yanxi asked with a smile: "When I appeared here, I accepted the imperial mission to investigate the 'Dingyuan' organ. ”

"What?" Ji Zihe said in shock.

"You heard it right, the task I accepted was not to investigate the 'Black Water', but to investigate the 'Dingyuan' organ." Wang Yanxi said.

"How much time did the empire give you?" Ji Zihe asked

"There is no time limit." Wang Yanxi returned to the Tao, and then Wang Yanxi took out a golden card and said, "With this card, I can use all the wealth of the empire unlimitedly. Gold, Intelligence, and Combat Power. ”

"You just told me, is it okay? What's more, we seem to have only just met. After Ji Zihe heard the heavy information from Wang Yanxi, his heart trembled, and he said: "Aren't you afraid that I will leak all your information?" ”

"Will you?" On Wang Yanxi's immature face, an extremely confident smile appeared.

"Don't you think I will? Don't put humanity to the test. Ji Zihe said again.

"I believe in you."

Wang Yanxi didn't say anything more, and answered Ji Zihe's question with these extremely simple words.

After a long silence, Ji Zihe said: "If I don't go, will you have to make other arrangements next, and then it is very likely that ...... Die? ”

"Do you remember what is the most important of all the conditions to be a 'rat'?"

Wang Yanxi asked.

"Self-sacrifice."

"That's right, becoming a member of the 'rat' is actually not as difficult as you think, and among all the necessary abilities, self-sacrifice is the most important and the only core element." Wang Yanxi said lightly: "Two years ago, in my competition with Huang Ran, he lost to me more in other aspects, and in the core factors, I lagged behind him. ”

"Then why ......"

"Are you trying to ask why I succeeded and he failed?" Wang Yanxi said: "That's because the final stage of the assessment two years ago was to write down the pursuit of 'water clouds'. Do you understand? ”

Ji Zihe was silent, and at this time he didn't know what words to use to express his heart.

"You haven't answered me yet, if I don't go, you're even more in danger."

Ji Zihe once again raised this question.

"My personal life and death are insignificant to the Empire."

looked at Wang Yanxi's immature face, and used an understatement tone to tell about life and death. Ji Zihe's heart couldn't help but ache slightly.

On the earth, at the age of twelve or thirteen, most of them should be happy and simple lives, but now, the little girl in front of her, does she have the courage to bear the burden on her shoulders? It's too arrogant to say that you are responsible, do you have the courage to share some of it?

Counting the age in my heart, I am more than ten years older than her, can I compare to her?

can't compare, there is no comparison at all, the gap between herself and her is not in the same dimension at all.

According to Ji Zihe's current thoughts, even if he lives for another life, it is estimated that he will not be as good as the little girl in front of him.

At this time, Ji Zihe pressed his head with both hands and sat in the corner, and the two fell into a deathly silence again.

After a long, long time, the expression on Ji Zihe's face, who had been hanging his head, gradually became resolute. Then he looked up and asked, "I'm just asking you one question, are you using me?" ”

"It's not." Wang Yanxi replied softly.

"You saved my life, I, Ji Zihe, am not the kind of ungrateful person." Ji Zihe said: "Although what Huang Ran asked me to do, it is indeed too dangerous. But since it's you, I'm willing to give it a try for you. ”

"It's human nature to be afraid of death, but you don't have to." Wang Yanxi said: "Even if you don't go, I'm just changing the way and way of investigation." ”

Originally, she wanted to persuade Ji Zihe through other means, but when Ji Zihe agreed to go, she didn't know why there was a trace of panic in her heart, and this panic was the first time in her memory.

"Don't be like this, I finally made up my mind, you don't want to give me room to maneuver at this time."

Everyone's ability is different, but as a human being, you must have the courage to challenge things that you have never accepted.

This is what Ji Zihe often said when he was on earth.

When he was reborn in this world, he had already died once, and the intrigue with Zhang Yunshan died again, and when he was in the Gobi, he died again.

In just three years, he has died three times.

Meet different people, experience different things, and gain different wonderful. Isn't that what you're looking for?

And here, isn't that where your thoughts are? If you retreat here today, what qualifications do you have to embark on another journey in the future?

According to the background of the Heart of Genesis, the path he may have arranged for himself is very likely to encounter something more dangerous than this.

Even if you escape this time, will you have to run away when the next danger comes?

The most important thing is, what should you do if you meet someone who will be with you for the rest of your life in the future, and you encounter danger at that time?

Face the reality, face the fear, face the heart, and face yourself.
