Chapter 1319: Free Will
Back in the room of the Greenland Sanatorium, Fei Yuhan locked the door and took out the tape recorder embedded in the decoration.
It's about the size of a grain of rice, and it doesn't have a playback function of its own, so you need to plug it into a special reader to hear what you're recording.
After passing the data into her notebook, she found the audio closest to the moment when Vakiriss left the tournament and clicked play.
"Nourish...... Nourish ......"
"We meet again, Miss Vakiris. Roland's voice rang out.
Here it comes.
Fei Yuhan curled the corners of his mouth and made himself a cup of hot tea.
She decided to enjoy the results of her long-planned work.
......
The steaming tea gradually cooled down until it became cold again, and the owner of the tea did not have time to take a sip.
Despite her premonitions, she found that she had heard far more than she had ever imagined!
When he pressed the stop button, Fei Yuhan found that his fingertips were trembling slightly.
This can be regarded as out of control for a martial artist who has been famous for a long time!
She now understood why Roland, the hunter, would crack the glass in his hand at that dinner - it would not be normal not to be shocked if it was a secret of the gods.
Is there anything more incredible than the dream that has been created, the civilization that fights for survival, the connection and continuation of the two worlds, and the guardian who shuttles through the realm of consciousness?
Originally, the two chose to meet in a café, which made Fei Yuhan feel a little disappointed, but after listening to it, she realized that even if these contents were said openly, others would only think it was nonsense.
Despite this, Fei Yuhan didn't think that what the two said was true, and it would be too exaggerated if the latter had been in disguise since the day she secretly observed Roland.
If this world was really artificially created, then she was probably the first person to peek into the truth behind the scenes-
"Heh......" Fei Yuhan chuckled.
It feels like a ...... It's so satisfying!
As for the oracle's question of "fiction or reality", she didn't care in the slightest. No one knows better than herself that she is a living being. Whether it is a gesture or every thought that pops into her mind, it comes from her own personal will, and this time she took the initiative to explore the secrets of outsiders.
Maybe Roland is one of the creators of the world, but so what? If the planets were created by cosmic energy and elementary particles, then it makes no essential difference to replace the former with someone.
Fei Yuhan leaned back in his chair, letting his body tremble slightly, enjoying this long-lost happiness.
After a long time, the excitement gradually calmed down.
It stands to reason that key information about the gods' attempts to destroy the world and the nature of the demon degenerates should be reported to the Martial Arts Association, but since the scope was too large to almost rewrite history, she decided to take a closer look.
After all, apart from the conversation between the two, she did not have any tangible evidence at hand. And now it cannot be ruled out that both of them are severely hysterical addicts. She has heard of urban legends that have a chance to generate telepathy and resonate with people of the same kind since the second year of junior high school, and although the probability of this situation is extremely low, it is not to be guarded against.
Fortunately, Vakiriss has officially connected with Roland, and there will only be more opportunities to find out the secrets.
What interests Fei Yuhan the most now is the other world where the two were originally located.
For example, the women who call Roland His Majesty.
If they can come to the dream world, can they see what the world looks like over there?
Go see the so-called ...... Reality.
......
"Where did you go," Garcia glared at Roland with a disgruntled expression, "what about the game that you said you would accompany Jieluo?"
"Sorry...... There is something to explain to the association, and I can't do anything about it. Roland touched the back of his head, he was the first to blame, so he was very decisive. In order to divert the time when he came back with Vakiris, he deliberately stayed in the restaurant for a while, but he didn't expect to hit the evening rush hour, and the result was that the two of them waited at the gate of the martial arts hall for an extra half an hour.
"If it weren't for the fact that I still have patrol duties, I would have left you behind. Garcia didn't have a good breath and said, "Take the little girl to have a good meal to compensate." ”
She patted Jieluo's head, and the latter nodded, ran to Roland's side in small steps, and bowed to Garcia when she was done, "Thank you, sister!"
"If he's treating you badly, be sure to tell me. ”
"Good. ”
This guy is pretending to be so well-behaved in front of outsiders. Roland couldn't help but scold, but his face was extremely sincere, "Don't worry, it's on me." By the way, would you like to bring you one too?"
"No, I don't. Garcia waved generously, "Go ahead, I'll go back to the martial arts hall first." ”
"I'm sorry for you today. After saying goodbye to the other party, Roland shrugged at Jieluo, "Let's go, there is a commercial plaza in front, you can choose what you want to eat tonight." ”
"Hmm. Jieluo replied in a muffled voice.
Strange, shouldn't she take the opportunity to open her mouth at this time? Roland was a little surprised, why did he suddenly become so quiet?, "What, isn't today's game exciting?"
"No, it's a lot better than on TV......"
"That's fine. When you come back from vacation, I'll show you a few more times, anyway, I'm also a member of the association, and it shouldn't be difficult to get tickets. ”
Crossing the road along the sidewalk, the two walked side by side on the side of the crowded street, the snow under their feet had been trampled on, and only the sound of "snapping" remained. But more snowflakes fall from the night sky and are tinted in brilliant colors by the flickering neon lights. If this continues, the city should be white again tomorrow morning.
Gradually, Jieluo fell behind.
Roland suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being pulled by something.
He stopped and turned back unexpectedly.
I saw the little girl bow her head, pulling his clothes without saying a word.
"What's wrong...... Roland was stunned, "Uh, it's not right for me not to accompany you, but the work is ......"
Jieluo shook her head, "I...... Didn't want to go back. ”
"What?"
"I don't want to go back home, uncle. She raised her head, bit her lip and said, "Can I continue to live with you during the two months of the holiday?" I will find a way to make up the rent, I used to make up the money for groceries, but now it will definitely be faster, and I promise that I will not be in arrears." I ......"
Looking at the little girl who seemed to have mustered up her courage, Roland was speechless for a while.
The first glance at the rows of handwriting on the other party's diary seemed to come back to his mind, and he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.
It is not a secret that Jieluo's family is not harmonious, whether it is from her usual words and deeds, or the degree of food and clothing, her family is probably quite harsh on her. But Roland has not intervened, or deliberately maintained the status quo.
Because she is another creator of this world.
If you want the dream to continue as it always is, then maintaining its inertia is undoubtedly the safest way to do it.
This is also the reason why after Jieluo awakened, he did not immediately let the other party join the association.
Will changing the status quo increase the possibility of awakening her to the other side, and what will happen to the world if she becomes pure again?
He had been on the lookout for this to happen.
However, Roland ignored the essence of the fifteen-year-old girl.
"Do you really think this world is fictional?"
When Arashi asked him, he replied in the negative, but in Jieluo's case, he didn't do it.
"No, no......" The courage she had finally mustered up gradually faded, and the little girl's voice became lower and lower.
"You know, I'm not your legal guardian, if you stay in the building, it's okay for a day or two, but after a long time, your family will definitely come to you. No matter how unwilling you are, you won't be able to stay here any longer, and I'll get in a lot of trouble. ”
Jie Luo's eyes dimmed.
"But there's a way to reverse that. Roland crouched down and patted the snow on her shoulder.
"Really?" she jerked her head up.
"Just join the Martial Arts Association. At all times, the Guild is the legal containment unit for the Awakened, and if you decide to stay, no one can twist your will, not even a minor. Roland smiled, "This is the privilege of martial artists...... How, do you want to become a martial artist?"
"I ......"
"But even if you join the association, you still have to continue to read, don't think you don't have to go to school. He raised an eyebrow, "It doesn't matter if you don't like fighting, it's okay not to participate." ”
This sentence seemed to make Jieluo let go of the last burden, she took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "Then I'll join." ”
"Okay, I'll fill out the application form for you when you go back, and then you can live wherever you want." ”
"Is it okay to live in 0825?"
Roland held out his hand to her, "Of course. ”
The inertia is broken.
What happens after that may be unknown.
But it's all a free-will choice.
Facing the snowflakes, the two blended into the crowd and walked towards the square that reflected the night sky. 8)
