"Fighting? But just human beings can't resist fate. Your lifespan is limited, you can't even fight old age and death, what else do you want to fight? ”

"I've heard that before. Some people say that since people are going to die sooner or later, why should they eat, why sleep, why work, and why live? This kind of thinking is very similar to what you say. People like you only focus on the final ending, and forget that life itself is just a journey, and there is no point in dwelling on the final end, what matters is the process of living! ”

The Grim Reaper's rapidly changing face suddenly paused, revealing a slightly surprised expression.

This was the first time Su Xi saw the Grim Reaper's expression froze and became emotional.

"Most people, and gods as high as you, have seriously misunderstood Sisyphus. All you see is a man who seems to be working meaninglessly, laboriously lifting a boulder, pushing it to the top of the mountain, and then unable to control it rolling down, pushing it up again, pushing it to the top. You think it's hard, but I'm telling you, this is our life. This is how each of us lives our lives. Each of us has a Sisyphus boulder in our hearts. ”

The Grim Reaper was silent.

他的表情再次凝固，那是一张老人的脸——有着如刀刻风蚀般的皱纹，肤色灰且暗，神情落寞而麻木。

The Grim Reaper kept the expression of this face, staring fixedly at the bloodied girl in front of him.

"That time, you came to my apartment out of the blue and saw me telling Peaches the story of Sisyphus, right? You say, let me finish the story for her, do you know what we talked about later? ”

Death shook his head.

"I said to Peaches that Sisyphus was a brave man. He is sober, he has a very clear understanding of his fate, he knows that the stone in his hand will inevitably roll down the mountain the moment it is transported to the top of the mountain, but he will still pick up the stone again and push it towards the top of the mountain. It is true that he was miserable, he was unlucky, he was treated unfairly. But every time he did it again, he was stronger than the damn stone, and likewise, he was stronger than the gods.

Why do people think that Sisyphus is a tragedy? That's because, Sisyphus knew, and so did those of us who listened to the story, that it was a ridiculous fate that he couldn't escape, and we were all conscious.

But hope is always in the next time!

If our hero, every time with a heart of hope, pushes the boulder, then what is the torture of him? ”

Death's face began to change rapidly again, and he was deeply touched.

He never thought that Sisyphus, the human hero who had always been hated and mocked by the Grim Reaper, could be interpreted in this way.

The more Su Xi spoke, the louder he became, and in the end, there was a hint of happiness in his tone:

"You are gods, you think you can manipulate the fate of mankind at will, set all kinds of destiny for us, and you feel very powerful, don't you?

But there is one thing that you cannot control, and that is human consciousness.

You can never defeat human consciousness, human will, because this is something that only exists within us, and no one can interfere with or manipulate it.

A sober mind is the cause of human suffering, but at the same time it is the crowning of our human triumph.

The gods manipulate the fate of mankind, but we humans can also defy fate! ”

The grim reaper's expression was still frozen on the face of this old man who had gone through vicissitudes.

He was silent for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, he put away the four screens.

"I must admit that I was impressed by you."

Death's voice was low, "For so long, no one has said such a profound and special answer to life, to existence, to the meaning of life. For that reason, I'm willing to give you another chance. ”

Su Xi was silent, no matter what the future holds, she has the courage to face it. Knock knock

"I will not let you fall into boundless darkness alone, I will give you four chances to be reborn as someone else. However, each of these four chances has a difficult task that you must complete in order to get that death-free card. ”

"What is the mission?"

"As soon as you enter that world, you understand. I can't reveal much to you, but what I can tell you is that these four worlds are full of dangers and pitfalls, and the slightest mistake can cost you your life. Your mission is to be the hero of these worlds, punish the bad guys who have made the world chaotic, and get the world back on track. ”

Su Xi was full of strength, and she staggered to her feet:

"And what about my reward?!"

The old face of the Grim Reaper stared at her:

"The reward is that after completing the missions of the four worlds, you can return to your original world and start experiencing your own life again."

"Deal!"

A confident smile bloomed on Su Xi's face.

A burst of white light flashed, and the time condensation of Peach, Xiaoyu, sister, and brother-in-law was suspended, and they continued what they were doing without any feeling.

And Su Xi was sent to the first world......

In the endless river of time and space, she shuttles through four book worlds and reverses the tragic fate of the protagonist.

In order to facilitate her to grasp a certain plot, the Grim Reaper erased her true memories of her past life before crossing over, replacing the memories with the plots of the four book worlds.

In the process of shuttling through the world of books, she has always thought that she is the author of these worlds, but in fact, she is not, her achievements in the real world are much higher than she thought......

Now, she has finally completed the mission of the four worlds and returned to the real world.

*

Everything is back to square one.

In a small room in the underground world, after solving the mystery of her origin through the countless suspended screens, she returned to that cozy little apartment.

After a moment's pause, Su Xi woke up and found himself half-lying on the sofa with a copy of "Lies" on his face.

It's like having a very long dream......

"Sister Su, you said you only slept for half an hour, look at what time it is, you have slept for more than forty minutes! Hurry up and read me a picture book! ”

The immature children's voices are noisy in their ears, Peach's cute and mischievous face keeps shaking in front of her eyes, and she is still holding a brightly colored villain book in her hand.

"Okay, don't make trouble, my sister will read it to you."

Su Xi smiled, took the picture book, and read it aloud:

"A long time ago, there was a man named Sisyphus, he was a king, and in him, such a story happened......"
