Without Murong Yuhua participating, her two mothers decided the rest of her life for her. Although not all of her life, at least before she reaches adulthood, she must complete the tasks that a princess must complete.

"Maybe I should change my identity." Murong Yuhua sighed after listening to Gu San's relay, at this time, the night slowly fell, the roof tiles in the palace were decorated with a layer of streamer by the twilight, the sun had fallen, and the half moon had risen. Gu San accompanied Murong Yuhua to Linyu Palace, and Concubine De went back earlier to serve the emperor, and let the third princess eat at Concubine Kang's place before leaving.

Murong Yuhua looked up at the scene in this palace, and suddenly said to Gu San, "Do you know, in this era, everything you do and what you make is all exquisite. The style of the eaves of the house, the direction in which it is placed, how high and wide it is, how many windows it has, and which side the door opens, are all particular. However, with the development of the times, everything began to tend to be minimalist, people began to get used to simple lines and color blocks, and later, people slowly let go of the 'exquisiteness' of the past, and everything was based on simplicity. ”

"Every era has something for them."

"Yes, it's a specific aesthetic and preference of the moment. The economy, resources, and social class will determine what ultimately presents itself in front of us. We are now in the Royal Palace, the most glorious place of the current era, the pinnacle of wealth and power, and all the best things are sent here in a constant stream. Although Murong Yuhua said this, he didn't seem to be happy because of it, "However, what I see here is the most extreme class difference, a completely alienated personality, and everyone lives a life here that can't help themselves." Regardless of their status or rank, they don't seem happy. ”

Murong Yuhua and Gu San walked together in the palace, and Gu San also slowly looked forward with her gaze, and under the twilight, the entire palace seemed to be glowing with a layer of golden light.

"Actually, I used to have very simple requirements for life, just live. There's no way to ask for too much in the zombie world. After all, the day is precarious, and who knows what will happen tomorrow. Gu San grinned and laughed at himself, "After all, we sometimes sleep at night, and if we are not careful, we may have to deal with the enemy who sneaks in in the middle of the night." It's normal to be killed in your sleep. ”

"That's why you told me in the last world that there are really some things that only people who don't have to worry about food and clothing are qualified to think about. Some don't even have a chance to think about it. ”

Gu San stretched out his finger "Freedom, independence of personality, the interests to be sought for one's own class." Murong, I don't deny your pursuits and opinions, but I can only tell you very helplessly that there are many things that there is no way to change. For some people, it's hard to just survive. The last world is the civilians you are trying to awaken, and this world is the slaves you feel are completely instrumentalized and alienated. ”

"No one has the right to deprive them of their personality."

But if they are not deprived of their personality, perhaps they are deprived of their lives. You know, I've actually thought more than once that apart from me, if it weren't for me, if that person wasn't Concubine Kang, maybe I might not be so peaceful about these things. ”

"I've seen how the ladies of the other palace treat their subordinates, they don't know how to 'respect', and even think that their lives are not their lives. And the ironic thing about it now is that I'm living here as a beneficiary of this community. Murong Yuhua looked at her brocade clothes, which was everything that she could enjoy as a princess, but it wasn't much to boast about for her, "I even wondered if I should keep silent and just observe." You know my character, it's hard for me to put up with this like that. ”

"If you want to do it, we'll move on to the next world. Once you start your previous set, it's bound to change the main line of the story. Gu San doesn't care, "Anyway, I can survive anywhere, and according to the previous rules, a new story line will start after death, but I don't know if it will affect your work outside." ”

"It's a hassle to restart a database, but sometimes I can't get over it, hey......"

Gu San patted her on the shoulder, "Since that's the case, it's better to put it down first." Being an observer, you can only add what you should do right on top of your theory if you know exactly what they are doing wrong, right? ”

"Gu San, do you say that when we come to reality, these problems that we saw in the old era will also appear on the ground under Sky City?" Murong Yuhua and her suddenly asked, "I occasionally go to the ground, of course, to hide it from the Federation. I sometimes don't see order there. I used to think that it was caused by the high-handed policies of Sky City, but sometimes I look at them, like you told me, those who will do anything to survive. ”

They passed through the Imperial Garden again, and Murong Yuhua walked in, stopped in front of a small swing, and sat down, only this time she didn't shake her legs like a little girl.

Gu San said, "To be exact, I have been 'dead' for more than ten years, and you told me what the world will become after death, and I don't know at all." I don't know how to discuss this with you. But if that's what I saw before I 'died'. Gu San leaned on the edge of the railing of the swing, clasped his hands and shook his head helplessly, "You still have the luxury of having 'order' in this group of people?" It's good to live like that without going crazy. ”

Murong Yuhua folded his hands, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his head, "I have a lot of shortcomings, although I have a genius brain, I can design these programs that others don't know how to design, but for the relationship between people, I find that I still know too little." As we said, the world here is like a game, even if you lose it all, you can play another game. But the outside world is different, and when you come back to reality, the moment we decide to start planning, there's no turning back – but...... What if my plan is wrong? ”

Gu San looked at her.

She looked up and asked uneasily, "What if I just make things worse?" ”

The sun had set and candles were lit throughout the garden, but the candlelight was not as strong as the lights, and darkness fell.

This question Gu San had never thought about before, she was taking one step at a time, and now they are all trapped in this virtual world, where is there a chance to think about everything else?

After a long time, she replied to Murong Yuhua, "But no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?" ”

"The more I delved into these different data worlds and watched how things were unfolding, the more I felt the uncontrollable power of the crowd. You think you're coming up with an idea that will help everybody, and you do it, and things go the way you want them to go. But there's nothing you can do to stop it, and then it's going in the opposite direction you thought. Murong Yuhua held the railing on the side and sighed, "Some people will take advantage of the loopholes in every incident to realize their own personal interests, even if this interest conflicts with the collective interest and goes against the great ideal we are trying to achieve." Those people still do it, and they feel like they're doing the right thing. ”

"Then you can punish them and get rid of these guys."

"I'm just a person, an initiator, and I don't think I can be such a 'leader' with my ability and character. Once I start dealing with one, there is a good chance that there will be more, and I alone will definitely not have the energy to catch these people, so there will inevitably be new jobs, and on top of the new positions, there will inevitably be such guys who use the system to enrich themselves. ”

"It's called rot and corruption." Gu San's words are concise and to the point.

"In order to prevent this from happening, the Suzaku system has been strictly monitoring people's lives. However, my subconscious tells me that such strict surveillance should not be right either. Because man is free. ”

Gu San spread her hand in front of her, she first raised her left hand, and opened her palm, "On the one hand, where there are people, there will be corruption and corruption, because this is the weakness of human nature, you can't completely eradicate it, those moralists are only a few in the final analysis." ”

Then she opened her right hand in front of her.

"But you also believe in freedom, and you think that everyone should make their own decisions and take every step you want. But Murong, no one is absolutely free, no matter what era he is in, no matter what kind of torture he is experiencing. Just like now, just like now, the third princess, freedom sometimes comes at a price, and sometimes freedom is not able to follow you at any time. ”

"I know what you said, I can't be free in this body, and since I'm willing to accept the rules of this world, I can only complete her life before I can pursue what I want."

"Everyone has their own identity and destiny."

This sentence was a little ambiguous, and Murong Yuhua asked, "Then what should be my corresponding fate?" ”

"You're a princess, and I'm not. I only know that the owner of this body originally hoped to protect Concubine Kang, and there is no other wish. Gu San has a bit of the meaning of being entrusted by others to be loyal to others, "I have done it, but my life cannot be spent in it all the time." Of course, if Zhao Yuan'er needs my help, I will still come back here. ”

"Your soft voice used to be just a maid, and the name was fleeting in a book, but in fact I was the same. The only difference is the level of status. Murong Yuhua sat down, "I am a princess, and people think that I must be a princess." You enjoy what ordinary people can't enjoy, and of course you have to face and learn what ordinary people don't need to experience. ”
