In the past, when Murong Yuhua was so low, Gu San would only think about what was worse in this world, but when he realized that in this world, they were the only two "players", Gu San could only sit down with her.

She is the one who can stay in the data world for a vacation, but Murong Yuhua has to face the changes in the outside world alone for more than ten years. She didn't know exactly how the Sky City worked, but it didn't seem to be a truly free place.

She didn't know what had become of the outside, whether the people she had saved had grown up healthy, whether the zombies had been eradicated after so many years, whether new city-states had been established, and how many people were still alive on Earth.

None of this was known to her.

Sometimes Gu San even thinks that this is the place where people go after death, and if she is religious, then this is a paradise created by God for dead souls, using her memories and nightmares and all kinds of absurd stories to mix them together to take her to experience a different life.

Gu San looked at her melancholy girl who obviously wanted to be a swing under the moon, suddenly thought of something, stood up straight and stretched out his hand to her. Although Murong Yuhua didn't know what was going on, her trust in Gu San made her subconsciously hold it, and then she dragged her all the way through the palace, and after a while, the two of them passed through one arch after another, and under the light of candles, they crossed most of the palace city, and finally stopped in front of a magnificent and tall palace.

They dodged the guards patrolling around them, stepped on the white marble steps to the door, quietly pushed the door open and walked in. Murong Yuhua gasped slightly, she calmed down, and asked in a low voice, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Gu San pointed to the high dragon chair not far away, and directly said a neat word, "Sit." ”

"Me?" Murong Yuhua looked around, and naturally recognized where this was, this was the place where the civil and military officials went to court during the day, and what Gu Sanna didn't care about pointing at was the place where the Ninety-Five Venerable was sitting. She was a little puzzled, "What am I going to do sitting there?" ”

Gu San didn't say a word, picked up Murong Yuhua and stepped up the steps to the dragon chair and put her down. After Murong Yuhua sat down, she was still a little squirming, and she moved her buttocks, "This son is hard, and it's uncomfortable to sit." I don't want to sit here, let's go back to Linyu Palace. ”

Gu San pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit there honestly, she looked at her, her expression was still as unhappy as usual, but there was a rare sense of seriousness in her tone, "No one has ever felt comfortable in this chair, but some people regard him as the most noble position in the world, and they all want to sit in this position with all their might." ”

"But I don't want to, I'm not interested in this chair at all, and I don't think this dragon chair is as comfortable as the swing in my yard."

"But what you want to do is no different from sitting on this dragon chair. You'll be scared, worried, because you know that all you're about to do is melt a dragon chair in front of everyone. Gu San said, took out the fire fold from his arms, and blew it up directly, Murong Yuhua's eyes couldn't help but widen when he saw it, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "Set fire to the dragon chair in the main hall?" You're having a lot of fun, aren't you? ”

"How do you know how exciting it can be if you don't try it?"

"Yes...... But if we find out, we'll go straight to the next world, didn't you say you want to spend a little more time here? ”

"Are you worried about the next world, or what will happen when this dragon chair is set on fire?" Gu San held the fire, the flames jumped in front of her, and there was always a gust of wind blowing slowly in the hall, blowing the fire swaying, "You don't know what will happen after this dragon chair melts, and you don't know if anyone will die because of this, and whether anyone's fate will change dramatically because of this." But when you fully put your ideas into this virtual world, the decisions you make are not even as decisive as the programs you wrote. You're thinking more and even weaker than before, why? ”

Gu San looked at the hand that she subconsciously held her wrist and looked at her quietly.

"Isn't what you've shown me over and over again in the first two worlds what you've been trying to find answers to?"

The disintegration of power, a banter at overconfident beings, whether it is the ridicule of a domineering president in the first world, or the provocation of the warlords who have usurped resources in the second world.

"But for now, you're ...... Why do they want to maintain this hegemony? ”

Murong Yuhua hesitated for a moment, she let go of her hand, and also lowered her head to look at her hands in disbelief, muttering, "Yes...... Why am I afraid that you will set everything on fire here? ”

"You told me that in your world, class is order, and order is peace." Gu San smiled, she let go of her hand, and the fire fold fell on the dragon chair, and the flames burst away in an instant. She pulled Murong Yuhua into her arms, "Then let's see what the 'order' will look like after it burns." If this dissipates your uneasiness, I can take a knife and kill you right now. ”

That night, Gu San sat on the high hanging beam with Murong Yuhua in his arms and watched the scene of the dragon chair burning, and the entire palace was shocked. The flames rose and lit the surrounding curtains, blackening the dragon's head and burning the mahogany floor on the ground. The flame is an existence that is not affected by class in the slightest, and no matter whether rich or poor, in front of the flame, everyone is treated equally.

People rushed in in panic with water, Murong Yuhua sat in Gu San's arms with her head down, the firelight illuminated her immature face, she watched the crowd go in and out like ants, but no one raised their heads and looked up even a few glances. She turned her head sideways, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Gu San's neck, and finally told her what she had hidden in her heart for a long time, "What I'm actually afraid of is not power or power, nor is it whether these things are done well or badly. Gu San, I'm afraid...... I have tried everything to resurrect you, but what you can see is still a disappointing world. ”

She frowned, holding the woman's face, her voice choked. Their voices were not heard on the beams that hung high above the ground, and the noise on the ground did not interfere with their conversation.

Gu San held her small palm, "Do you think that when I leave, that world will be beautiful enough?" Murong, there are some things I can tell you very frankly, all the beautiful things I have seen in my life so far are basically presented in this false world. The old life brought me nothing but killing and blood. I didn't have time to make friends, let alone calm down, slowly watching the sunrise and waiting for the sunset. I didn't see all of this until after I died. ”

“…… So what if you stay here? Murong Yuhua asked tentatively, "If you are more disappointed outside than you were at the beginning, will it be a good choice for you to stay here?" ”

"Do you think I'm such a weak person? Dreams are just dreams, have you forgotten what you and I said on the beach? You say you need help, and I can help you. Otherwise, what do you think I'm waiting for in this endless world after another? Just waiting for you to come and see me? Or do I wait in this endless cycle of reincarnation, exhaust my patience, and then meet death over and over again? ”

Although Gu San was not close to people, she also saw that something must happen in the real world to make her usually carefree boy like this, she squeezed Murong Yuhua's palm, and finally softened her tone and asked, "Tell me, what happened outside?" You have never been so weak and fearful as you are now, what has affected your judgment? ”

"I ......" A trace of hesitation flashed in Murong Yuhua's eyes, she took a deep breath, and her hand held Gu San tighter, "The Vermilion Bird System has been checking all the programs in Sky City recently, and has found some things I have written. Even though it was only used by me to evade control so that I could get to the surface, some of the passwords in it still made the Federation suspicious. They're trying to find me...... I don't know how long it will last, and I don't know if there will be any way to resurrect you during this time. I'm almost done with your body, do you know Gu San, it's just the last step, a small step...... It's just that I suddenly found that I couldn't complete the complete algorithm with these devices designed by myself alone. ”

"You mean, that control system in Sky City is starting to search you?"

"Yes, and I can even guess that they're going to start from both the digital realm and the real world. If I keep you here, something could happen to you—once the firewall I've designed is overrun and broken, and if you die in the data world, I won't be able to import you into a new data warehouse. Murong Yuhua clenched her hands, "And I know why they did this." I've met a few people on the ground who, like me, want to try to get all the survivors into Sky City. I also learned now that I don't just have this idea, many people do. As long as the algorithm is successful, we can temporarily shut down the Suzaku system, so that they can evade surveillance and enter the pipeline. But the Confederation doesn't allow that to happen......"

Gu San gradually found a context in his somewhat chaotic words, which were familiar to her, about resistance, about survival.
