Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Misconception
There is a saying in the famous movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" that the meaning of life is much more than survival, and the real skill is to learn to live on your own forever.
Although Gu Wu, who came to this world alone, has the identity of 'Altair's agent', in fact, the relationship between him and Altaïr is not very good, if the purpose of the two is different, Gu Wu must have been killed a long time ago.
But then again, if Gu Wu's mission wasn't to help Altair, he wouldn't have been here for any reason, so it's understandable to say that this situation is understandable.
It's just that Gu Wu thinks that no matter what kind of task, what kind of arrangement, what kind of plan, it is more dependent on his own actions to achieve, rather than having too high expectations on others.
It's not that you don't trust others, it's not arrogant, it's because it's the safest and safest way to achieve your goals in your own way, and the chances of success and efficiency are another matter......
Gu Wu is not the kind of stubborn guy, he really wants to rely on himself to complete the task, but he naturally can't do it without relying on the strength of others.
The reason why I remembered such a famous quote just now was because Gu Wu felt that he should trust himself, even if he would become weak without Altaïr, Gu Wu would not abandon the belief he had.
In the final analysis, such persistence can actually be classified as 'selfishness', after all, everything he does now is for himself and his future.
Gu Wu, who wanted to destroy the world, was nothing more than hoping that there would be a conflict between these creatures, so as to reach the 'Great Collapse' that Altaïr expected, which was also the result that Gu Wu wanted.
However, whether it is the creator or the creature, each different individual has their own ideas, and Gu Wu naturally cannot control their purpose, but he can change the direction in which they are moving slightly.
To put it bluntly, it's like the seasons are inevitable, but you can rely on the amount of clothes you wear.
The protagonists also have firm beliefs and rigid creeds, and the purpose will not be easily changed, but there can be some changes in the process of reaching the ultimate goal, and what Gu Wu has to do is to manipulate such changes.
He wants to disrupt the plot, provoke war, and influence the story, so that the plot that is taken for granted becomes accidental or even non-existent......
At this moment, Gu Wu was planning tomorrow's actions, and the plan that he had planned to carry out today was terminated by Gu Wu himself.
There is no special reason, that is, Gu Wu's ability has not yet cooled down, so it will take another half a day.
Lying on the chair on the roof of the house and looking up at the clouds dyed red by the setting sun, since the plan was delayed until the start of tomorrow, everyone except Gu Wu went out.
Britz, Bai Yaxiang, Alicetria, Altair, they also have their own things they want to do, and they need to complete the preparations.
"First of all, Britz...... Compared with him, it is more appropriate to directly let Bai Yaxiang go around, that guy wants to give the Maitreya Temple sanctions more than to implement his own justice, and at the same time, it can also prevent Britz from turning against him because he ran into his daughter. ”
Next up is Alicetria, a female knight who is very variable and will rebel in the story, after all, she cannot forgive Altair who deceived her.
In the face of such an unfolding, what is the solution?
Gu Wu thought about it carefully and found that there was no suitable means, at most, he kept emphasizing that Meteora was a real liar and a villain who prevented her from saving the world.
There's no way, if it really follows the original plot, Britz defected because of his daughter, Bai Yaxiang rebelled after learning the truth, and Alice Tria counterattacked out of anger, so that Gu Wu's camp would only be himself and Altair.
He tried his best to avoid that kind of situation, after all, the development of the original plot was not the result that Gu Wu expected.
To sum up, Gu Wu came to a conclusion that was not very reliable, that is, a quick solution.
Before the three protagonists completely figure out what happened, end this war and directly cause the conflict of the creatures to cause a 'great collapse'.
However, it is a little difficult to achieve a quick battle, after all, Altaïr, who has the power, and Gu Wu, who has copied her power, cannot really exert all the abilities of the 'Senluo Wanxiang', otherwise they will be ejected by the world's repair power.
Wait, joining the battle between the creatures has affected the repair power of the world, is it possible to fully open the 'forest'?
As for the real result, Gu Wu didn't know anyway, he didn't want to be ejected from the world because of testing the limit of his ability, so he was afraid that he would fail the mission.
"Prioritize killing Mizushino and Meteora, the problem is that one is hiding in the shadows, and the other is in the command center, even if you find them, I'm afraid it will leave them enough time to react."
Quick battle is indeed very unreliable after Gu Wu thinks about it, this is not a lawn mowing game, so it may be easy to defeat the enemy.
And the creatures are either protagonists or important characters, and they have the power to be strong enough to at least protect themselves, and it will be tricky to deal with.
Gu Wu thought that he could deal with them by copying Altaïr's ability, but if he wanted to kill them directly, he was afraid that it would be very difficult.
Not only that, as Gu Wu said just now, he needs to consider not letting Britz go around, not letting Bai Yaxiang know the truth, and not letting Alice Tria rebel, thinking about it is very difficult.
The heroes who have strong beliefs will fight for the desire of their hearts, and there is a limit to how much they can stop it.
Gu Wu made a task assignment in his heart, letting Bai Yaxiang take the lead, followed by Alicetria and Britz together, and decided the winner directly in the face as much as possible.
"Even so...... It's also very difficult. ”
Gu Wu, who expressed his helplessness, sighed after complaining, picked up the wine glass next to him and drank the wine inside.
The alcohol that stimulated the brain began to work, and Gu Wu, who was in high spirits, saw that the burning clouds began to gradually recede, and the sun, which was still emitting afterglow, also completely sank to the west and disappeared into the concrete forest.
Night is approaching, and in a few hours it will be time to get moving.
Of course, the time Gu Wu chose was not early in the morning, after all, there were only a few store managers in the comprehensive mall at most at that time, and he was aiming at about ten o'clock in the morning, when there were no more customers and no less, just enough to be used as hostages.
"All that's left is to wait."
In Gu Wu's eyes, whether it was Altai or the other three, they were all his pawns.
"Ah~~"
Gu Wu, who yawned, stared at the already empty glass and wine bottle, and he began to make a summary for himself.
Summarizing the actions that each protagonist may take, so that he also has some psychological preparation; Even now that the plot is changing, you have to think about it.
However, Gu Wu quickly thought about it seriously, Meteora and Selega are estimated to have not changed much, Xinghe Shikayu and Maitreya Temple Yuya will most not take special actions, Kaya Ruwei seems to belong to the kind of character who goes with the flow, he just wants to enjoy his current life, so the biggest change is likely to be Mizushinosa.
The reason why he is identified as Shui Xiaosa is because Gu Wu attacked him before, which is probably one of the biggest differences from the plot.
Shui Xiaosa was basically not in danger of his life in the original plot, and Gu Wu's actions naturally broke this setting.
You must know that Shui Xiaosa Tai played a role in triggering everything and ending everything in the original plot, if his existence suddenly disappeared, it would definitely have a great impact, but Gu Wu's assassination failed last time......
Looking back now, Gu Wu didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful.
Seeing that the others still hadn't returned, Gu Wu set off to buy food below.
This rooftop stronghold is on the fringes of the city, and even then there are enough food outlets downstairs.
What do you want to eat?
Thinking of this, Gu Wu found that many times he was thinking about how to improve his life, what to eat, what to wear, and where to live.
But this idea is not wrong, Gu Wu believes that no traverser wants to live in a bad environment all day long on bad food and suffering.
Gu Wu, who decided to go for ramen, searched for a suitable shop on the street, and the result was ......
See, the man appeared in his vision.
Should I say lucky or unlucky?
The world is so wonderful......
In this city, on this small stage, Gu Wu met the true jian.
The girl with the long dark purple hair was taking pictures with her camera, and he didn't think she had bought it, but that's not the point.
Walking straight towards the Tsukujoin Zhenjian, Gu Wu thought that this was an opportunity given to him by a non-existent god, if he could draw the Tsukuin Zhenjian to his side, then the situation would be hugely different.
Zhen Jian, who was holding the camera lens with her right hand, began to turn around, and as a result, Gu Wu's figure appeared in her lens.
"Wow! Really! Xiao Zhenjian was scared! You're not stalking me, are you? ”
"I don't have the bad taste of stalking people."
"Really? I've heard that scammers turn into cows at night. ”
Zhenjian, who had a serious face, reminded Gu Wu that although he knew that he was lying, Gu Wu still directly opened the topic.
"It's just an urban legend that tricks a child who lies down immediately after eating."
Gu Wu confirmed that he didn't find anyone else in his field of vision, so he took Zhenjian's hand and walked towards the nearby storefront.
"If you're so tough, you won't be welcomed by girls!"
"Anyway, Miss Tsukijoin is very idle now, right?"
Zhenjian didn't resist, maybe expecting what would happen next.
Followed by......
“PASS! I actually took a girl to a ramen shop for a date! ”
"I'm in for a treat."
"Guy who doesn't know how to be emotional, do you want to have a life talk with me?"
"There's something I want to ask you."
In the previous Gu Wu, he would choose to flee when he met Zhenjian, but now he doesn't have that concern, anyway, the character named Zhenjian of the Castle Courtyard is just acting for fun, and he won't kill the important characters of the 'interesting story'.
Sitting down inside the ramen shop, the manager of the restaurant, who was cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, took off his gloves and asked the two of them what kind of ramen they wanted to eat.
Tonkotsu ramen, seafood ramen, beef ramen, etc., Gu Wu, who had already begun to protest, ordered a bowl of seafood ramen, and then set his eyes on Zhenjian.
"My words...... Please give me a bowl of beef ramen with a little more chili! ”
"So let's get started."
Now that the order has ended, Gu Wu also plans to finish the next conversation immediately.
Hearing Gu Wu say this, Zhenjian did not respond, but fiddled with his camera.
"I've recently discovered that cameras are a good thing to capture a lot of fleeting moments."
"Yes, I don't know much about this thing, but there are many moments that pass by in a flash, and my life is not leisurely enough to keep those moments one by one."
"Who's got a mouthful."
"Whatever you want, Miss Tsukijoin...... What are you going to do next? ”
"What do you do?"
Gu Wu thought that she was pretending not to understand, but there was no evidence.
"You've seen Meteora, they've seen Altaïr, and you'...... Do you have an idea to get involved? ”
"I'm quite interested in you, but it's not enough to be your partner, even if there is that reason, I won't want to, because it's too boring~ Team action and individual action, do you think it's easier to reflect your own value? My strength is my strength~ So, I won't shoot casually. ”
obviously gave Mizushino a lot of help at the end of the original plot, but now he says so......
Maybe the plot will really change, with this thought, Gu Wu saw the store manager bring two bowls of ramen.
"Let's make it clear now, there will be no so-called alliance between us, but I'm looking forward to your performance, I've seen a lot of interesting things before."
"Then I'm probably going to live up to your expectations."
"Is that so? By the way~ I'll go to the bathroom first. ”
Zhenjian, who was holding the camera, left her place, and as soon as she disappeared into the hall, a person walked in.
It's none other than Bai Yaxiang.
"Isn't this Gu Wu? Oh?! You've already ordered ramen for me? ”
"That's right."
Gu Wu stared at the store manager, saying that he didn't need to say anything, and Zhenjian naturally showed no signs of coming back.
"By the way, Gu Wu, there is one thing to say."
"What?"
"The plan is expected to be postponed a little bit more, and we will act tomorrow afternoon."
"Why?"
"When I came over just now, I ran into Alicetria, the female knight."
And then what? Gu Wu, who looked at Bai Yaxiang like this, urged him to continue.
"She said she was going to think about it alone and talk to Altair, so I don't think it would be resolved for a while."
Was it discovered early? Gu Wu, who was eating ramen, thought of this possibility.
Even so, there is no way to stop now, because tomorrow will occupy the building anyway and force Meteora and them out.
