"What's the end?"

Su Xi just wanted to continue reading, and the doorbell rang at the door.

She closed the book and smiled at Momoko, "It should be your mother." You go and open the door. ”

"Hmm!"

Momoko jumped briskly off the couch and ran to the door.

Su Xi looked at her from behind and found that the child's back was visibly stiff.

Momoko hesitated and stretched out her little hand and pressed it to unlock it.

There was a slight "click" of the door, and a crack opened automatically.

Su Xi was lowering his head to sort out the picture books, ignoring the movement at the door, but just raised his voice and said:

"Peach, after drinking the milk on the table, you can go home with your mother."

No one responded.

The door opened silently.

Momoko stood motionless and stiff by the door, and when the door opened, and the people outside walked in, she didn't scream or speak, she just stood so stiffly.

Su Xi saw that no one answered for a long time, put down the picture book, turned sideways and looked at the door.

Because of the delicate frame in the entrance, she could only see the top of Peach's head and a shoe.

And she didn't move.

Su Xi was alert, and quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

刚站起来，一道黑色的身影，转瞬之间就来到他的面前。

"Su Xi, meet again."

Momoko still stood silently in the doorway, as if oblivious to all this.

The Grim Reaper said lightly:

"Don't worry, I'm just temporarily confined her in a closed space, and I won't do any harm to her, I just don't have any memories of this time."

In the face of this ubiquitous god of death, Su Xi was already determined to respond to him.

Anyway, the one-month deadline hasn't expired yet, and the rules are set by him, and he can't take her away in advance.

"You still don't give up, you still want to change the world line, do you?"

The Grim Reaper casually picked up the picture book on the coffee table and read aloud:

"The tragedy of Sisyphus. Heh, isn't that about us. Were you reading this story to that girl just now? Then did you tell her what the ending of Sisyphus was? ”

Su Xi was silent.

"When I leave, you can continue to read her picture books as if nothing had happened. However, you forcibly changed the world line and interfered with the arrangement of fate, and this incident will not be forgotten. Regardless of the end result, whether you succeed or fail, you will pay the price. ”

Su Xi remained silent and did not speak.

"So far, the world line has been messed up by you. Maybe even I can't get it back to normal. But now, I'm not in a hurry, I really want to see what the world will be like in three days, and you, how will you react then? What choice will you make? ”

死神走回门边，朝桃子头顶一拂。

Momoko's tiny body shuddered and began to blink slowly.

The Grim Reaper suddenly vanished into thin air.

桃子愣愣地站在门口，还保持着从猫眼往外望的姿势。

She looked out the door, turned around, and said to Su Xi in confusion:

"Sister Su, there's no one." Nine-zero look

Su Xi smiled reluctantly: "Maybe someone is playing a prank." Come back, Peach, and we'll finish the story, shall we? ”

Peaches ran back again and sat next to Su Xi obediently.

"Where did you just go......?"

Momoko hurriedly replied, "Speaking of Sisyphus, he died in the end, and then he came to the underworld again. ”

"Well, he died in the end, and after coming to the underworld again, he was punished. The punishment was that he was sent to the edge of hell, where there was a very steep mountain, and he had to push a heavy and huge stone from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain every day, but when he reached the top of the mountain, the stone was too big and rolled down, and he had to go down the mountain and push the stone to the top again. But every time you get to the top of the mountain, the stones will roll down. So, Sisyphus did this work every day, and this was his punishment. ”

Peaches was fascinated by what she heard, and she muttered for a long time:

Sisyphus...... It's so pathetic. ”

"Why do you think he's pitiful, Momoko?"

"Because every day I push a stone to the top of the mountain, then fall down, and push it up again, which is very ...... There is no hope. ”

"There's another word that could be substituted: despair."

"Hmmm! It's just desperate. Moreover, there is no point. He could only push stones, and do nothing else. ”

"Yes. This work is neither hopeful nor meaningful. ”

"Then why didn't he resist? Why do you keep pushing? Can't he run away? ”

Su Xi closed the book, looked straight ahead, and said calmly:

"For Sisyphus, he has escaped the punishment and arrangement of fate several times, he has no way to retreat, this is his final destination, and this is also the fate that he was finally arranged."

"However, if this is his ultimate fate, then weren't his previous struggles also arranged by fate, and then he came to this point?"

Su Xi withdrew his gaze and looked at Peaches.

Oh, yes.

Is it possible that Sisyphus's repeated rebellions, tricks, and tricks, including successful kidnapping and deception of death, were in fact the arrangement of fate?

*

A few hours later, Su Xi came to the road bridge of fate.

Familiar scenes, familiar scenes, familiar car accidents.

After a violent sound, the Grim Reaper appeared as promised.

Su Xi asked quietly:

"Do you remember the story of Sisyphus?"

"Of course I do. That's a story written into our standard textbook of the Grim Reaper. ”

"What do you think of Sisyphus, a very poor man?"

"Yes, no matter how much he struggles, in the end, he still ends up pushing stones up the mountain all day long, but he will never achieve his goal. Isn't it the most hopeless and pointless thing in the world to do something hopeless over and over again? ”

Su Xi's bloodstained face showed a smile:

"No, I don't think so. Both the world and you Grim Reaper despise Sisyphus and misunderstand Sisyphus. ”

The Grim Reaper smirked contemptuously:

"Then tell me how we misunderstood him. Isn't he just a wretched creature who can never be freed? ”

"No, Sisyphus, it's a hero. It's just that he is a hero of absurd tragedy. But this still does not hide the fact that he is a hero. ”

"Huh, hero? Which hero pushes stones up and down mountains all day long? ”

"Pushing a stone is just a symbol." Su Xi wiped her face, and the blood stains turned into several rough horizontal lines, showing a strange beauty on her face. It symbolizes his contempt for the Lord God, his hatred of death, and his zest for life. All he fought for was the stone. Whether he is alive or dead, whether he is on earth or in hell, he has never admitted defeat and has always struggled. ”

Su Xi laughed a few times: "Got it?" Fight! This is the true soul of Sisyphus. ”
