(90) Chance Encounters (Yuffie Stanmitz, II)
Yuffie was freed from the illusion, and the lake in front of him was clear again, and the fish swam freely in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info She tried to exhale, and realized that her body and forehead were covered with sweat at some point.
Fang Cai's scene was so real that even though she clearly knew that it was an illusion, she couldn't help but immerse herself in it. After she came to her senses, she did not feel relieved, but thought more seriously about the meaning of the "illusion".
She first rejected the possibility that the illusion merely "mirrored her inner expectations." She had never thought of, and would never have hoped for, such an ending in Moon City, not to mention that the apocalyptic scene was beyond her understanding of "disaster". It is no exaggeration to say that even if the head of the federation, or the head of Collens House himself, she does not think that she can reproduce the situation in the mirage.
So, is what she sees as the real future, a "future possibility", or is it a "delusion" made up by the lake based on her memories? Yu Fei thought about it again and again, but still couldn't come up with a definite answer.
What is certain is that whether the lake is "true" or "lie", judging by the appearance of the maids and fathers in the manor, the moment in the fantasy is in their original world, not too long from the present.
That alone was enough to make her feel uneasy. Yuffie wiped the sweat from her head, trying to keep herself calm and checking on Rin and Anya's condition.
The two were still immersed in the illusion - the blonde girl had a happy smile on her face, as if she was going through some beautiful experience. Anya frowned tightly and covered her chest with her hands, as if she had fallen into some terrible sight like her.
She didn't bother the two. The lake gives only illusions, which may cause discomfort to the viewer, but no actual harm. After a few moments, they both took a deep breath almost at the same time, their eyes regained focus, and they turned their heads to look in her direction.
"Welcome back." Yuffie took the hands of the two of them, pulled Lyn, who was full of happiness, and Anya, who still looked a little confused, left the lake and returned to the vicinity of the puppet girl, "Looking at the way you look, you should all have a memorable experience, right?" ”
"Needless to say!" Lynn replied eagerly, "You know, Yuffie, I saw that we opened a shop together, and many people came to the door every day and left with a smile on their faces!" I don't know how long it will be later...... But didn't you ever wish for that? So in the future, this will definitely be achievable! ”
"You haven't told me yet, what kind of store are we opening?" Yuffie asked curiously, "It can't be a magic merchandise store, right?" ”
"Only half right." The blonde girl smiled and said, "You sell all kinds of handy magic items, and I sell bread and desserts!" How's that, it looks like a good match, right? ”
"What brings happiness to our customers is our excellent products." Yuffie nodded in agreement, and then looked at the young "Demon King" who seemed to have something to say, "Anya, what do you see?" If it's something that is inconvenient to say, it doesn't matter. ”
The girl who was the demon king shook her head, she bit her lip slightly, as if she was a little worried about what she was about to say.
"I see...... It seems to be a war. She hesitated and spoke, "Humans vs. youkai, humans vs. humans, youkai vs. youkai...... Everyone is fighting each other and killing each other. She looked up and looked at Yuffie earnestly, "This kind of thing...... It should be, it can be changed, right? ”
Yuffie didn't answer right away, she needed to gather her thoughts. Two of the three of them saw the catastrophe happening on different continents, so much so that the happy scenes that Lin saw seemed almost insignificant. Although, logically, three things that use the same means and are observed by only one person should have exactly the same value.
Now, of course, the focus is on how to make sense of what the illusion offers them.
The worst case scenario is that all three things are bound to happen - they don't actually conflict. But this kind of future, which has no "possibility", obviously does not have the value of thinking about and worrying.
Another way of understanding is that what they see is just a false "delusion" and has no connection with reality. Unfortunately, this is a bit too optimistic, if they hope that "it won't happen" and do nothing, when everything becomes a reality, they may be left with only regret.
Therefore, there is only one valuable understanding left.
Yuffie sorted out her words and slowly recounted her thoughts: "I have heard that the future is like the branches of a tree, and it will go in different paths according to each person's choice. Perhaps what we see is one of the "possibilities" of the future. ”
"But why did the lake make me see it like that?" Anya clasped her arms around herself and asked uneasily, "Because that's the most likely future, or is it ...... What are my actions and decisions that might lead to this? ”
"I don't know." Yu Fei shook his head a little heavily, "The possibility of the future is difficult to distinguish by chance, and "changing the future" is not something that anyone can do. She lowered her eyes slightly, "How to do it is also a question I am thinking about." ”
She spoke softly and calmly about what she had "seen", but the scene depicted in the words made Lynn and Anya frown together. The stars also walked up to her and looked at her earnestly.
"What a broken lake, scare people with these mysterious things all day long." The blonde girl muttered dissatisfiedly, "I can see why those tourists have a hellish look on their faces." ”
"At least what you're seeing is a good thing." Yuffie chuckled softly, "So, even if the world is destroyed, we can still open a shop together - that sounds tempting." ”
Of course, she knew that that was not her true mind. If she had to choose both, she would prefer not to be able to do both.
"If you see the truth, or as you say, the future that can happen." The stars suddenly interjected, "What are you going to do, Yuffie?" ”
Yuffie was silent for a moment, then raised her head and met the doll girl's gaze.
"I would take note of this 'possibility' and explore the reasons for its possible occurrence during my journey." She whispered, "Perhaps, we are here to witness the cause and effect of certain things. ”
"And after that?"
"I don't know. But Musk has said that life is long, and there are many choices that await us. The pink girl replied calmly, "Maybe I can change what I see, maybe it wouldn't have happened in the first place." I'm going to keep going no matter what. ”
