Arthur finally made it to the roof of the car, but the "Night Lance" just closed his eyes very leisurely, enjoying the gift of the breeze. She slowly crawled to his side, shielded her hand from the direct sunlight shining directly on him, looked at him solemnly and asked, "Tell me, where are they, even if I beg you, okay?" โ€œ

"They, who are they? Why do you have to know? The Night Lance asked, confused.

"The captain, the crew, and the ship. I know you have news about them. I'm going to go to sea, can you tell me? Arthur pleaded.

"Reason, give me a reason that can convince me, and I'll consider telling you or not." The Night Lance looked into Arthur's earnest eyes and slowly sat up.

Arthur paused for three seconds to think about it seriously, and then looked directly at the "Night Lance": "I want to go to sea to find the 'Ark', and then stay on the 'Ark' until 2050, when they and I are banished to that island again, to go through everything we have experienced before, and finally return to that point in time on the Arctic Glacier, and make a new choice to change the world and change the fate of everyone." โ€œ

"Change the world, change the fate of all?" The "Night Lance" suddenly burst out laughing as if he had heard some big joke, and squinted at Arthur: "The human heart is an ugly hell, no matter how much you change, this is an indisputable fact. โ€œ

Arthur did not agree, but immediately retorted: "What you said is only one person, not the whole. There are still many good human beings in this world who strive to survive every day, and they should not be erased by this world and become victims of this miserable world. โ€œ

"Fall victim to this miserable world?" The Night Lance smiled, but there was sadness in his eyes, "Indeed, they have become victims. Those so-called powerful, talented, and virtuous people have fled without a trace, leaving this hell on earth, engulfing all mankind.

But if you look around you, at yourself, at the flocks of crows that are leisurely and contented, do you think there is still a need for this world to be saved? โ€

"You...... What do you mean? I...... Don't understand. Arthur didn't understand the meaning of the Night Lance: words, but looked at his face suspiciously, and then turned his gaze to the crow.

The crow is still leisurely, from time to time**, looking into the distance.

"What's wrong with the crow? Isn't it normal for crows? She whispered, her eyes suddenly widened, "Yes, normal, it's normal!" Why are they so normal? Is there no poison gas in the air? Or is it still this poisonous gas......" Arthur stopped abruptly halfway through.

"As you think, this poison gas only works on people, but not on animals. From the moment it was born, it was a weapon used by humanity to destroy humanity. โ€

Arthur lowered her head, her mind recalled the experience of the previous uninhabited island, and secretly pondered in her heart: but the plants on the island and the fish on the sea were indeed dead...... No, the era they live in is 2050, and the island, all the poison gases are just simulations, not really the original.

"But if the poison gas is still there, and it only works on humans, then why are the people on the 'ark' still alive? Don't they breathe? Arthur asked, still confused.

"Do you know how to raise livestock?" The Night Lance looked at Arthur seriously and said further, "That is, they are all kept in captivity, vaccinated, and fed regularly. โ€

Arthur's heart sank, and he sat there silently.

"But...... But the 'Queen', Shaman, Yu Bo, and Madame Lin, who are clearly bent on changing the world, and the 'Heads of the Twelve Kingdoms', they obviously also support it, and invest huge financial and material resources for this...... "Arthur tried his best to deny all this.

"Maybe. Maybe you're talking about these people, they really want to change that. Because in essence, they are also blinded. After all, this is the truth that only the high-level of the 'Twelve Kingdoms' knows, and the rest of the captive 'livestock' may still think that the poisonous gas only permeated the mainland, so they who live in the most central area of the sea have been spared. โ€œ

Arthur's expression was even more confused, she couldn't figure out why the 'heads of the twelve countries' would invest financial and material resources in the experiment of the uninhabited island...... No, maybe the human heart is really ugly, and the greater the power, the greater the desire that accompanies it, not being satisfied with the control of the status quo, but also wanting to control the entire time and space.

Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help asking, "How do you know these things?" โ€œ

"Me?" The haze suddenly appeared on the face of the "Night Spear", and he buried his face in the darkness, "I once loved a woman deeply, her father was one of the high-ranking officials of the head of the 'Twelve Kingdoms', and I only learned about it by chance...... So Arthur, you give up. What if you really let you go to sea and find the 'Ark'? You will never be able to truly change the world, nor will you be able to prevent it from coming to the brink of destruction......"

Dark clouds slowly obscured the sky, thunder roared in their ears, and a bolt of lightning struck in the distance, splitting a tree in two.

The rain fell on the face of the Night Lance, and it also fell on Arthur's face. She looked up at the firmament, and it was already darkening, and there was no light to be seen.

Arthur looked lost like he had never seen before, and let the rain fall into her eyes for a long time...... She closed her eyes quietly.

I opened my arms and held her firmly in my arms, knowing that the truth was too cruel and that this world was so desperate. But no matter how cruel this truth is, how desperate the world is, this is the world we live in, and it is proof that we really exist here...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shout at Arthur: "Arthur, don't give up, Arthur, don't give up!" Think of the dwarf, think of Xiaoyu, think of Li Ruina! And those who have worked hard to live in this world! No matter how dark the world is, they have truly laughed, cried, loved, and hated here...... Do you want to erase all of this? Do you want to forget the future we want? Open your eyes, Arthur. The light has always been in your heart, and only when you give up on your own will you really usher in the darkness and usher in the end of the apocalypse. โ€
