The girl in white stood quietly in the room, as if she had been there a long time ago.

Serena broke free from Shen Yi's embrace and looked at the girl in white in amazement, as if she was looking at a goddess, her eyes full of holiness.

She had an instinctive urge to kneel, but was pulled by Shen Yi: "No, Serena, I don't care who she is, I won't allow you to give in to her." ”

Serena's spirit shook slightly, and she leaned back into Shen Yi's arms.

At this moment, it seems that Shen Yi is all she believes in!

Shen Yi looked at the girl:

"Now we can talk. ”

"What do you want to talk about?" the girl asked.

The voice is pleasant and gentle, with the softness and delicacy that is unique to a little girl.

"Talk about your motivations. Shen Yi replied: "You have pulled me into the whirlpool of war without my permission. This war didn't belong to me, or it wasn't something I could have access to. To be honest, I'm not afraid of danger, but I hate this kind of decision and practice that doesn't happen to my own will. ”

"They brought you into the world without your advice either. ”

"That's exactly why I don't like them, I thought you would be different from them, but you made the same choice as them, forcibly opening the door of war to me without my knowledge. ”

"I thought you'd love the gift. ”

"Of course I do, but I don't like the high price!Tell me how much I'm going to have to pay for it?I'll be hunted down by the space managers forever?And best of all, will I be able to keep my gift after this mission?"

The girl was silent.

Shen Yi sneered: "I really got it right, right? she won't belong to me, she belongs to you." You're just lending my hand to bring her out, you just need me to protect her, right?"

"You're a smart guy. The girl in white acquiesced to Shen Yi's guess in this way.

A wave of anger surged in Shen Yi's heart.

Serena, whom he tried his best to protect, turned out to be not his!

However, he still snorted coldly: "Then it doesn't look like Serena is a gift, because you didn't give her to me, but only lent me a few days to watch, and it required me to pay a lot of rent...... It's not a good deal!"

"I'll make it up to you in addition. ”

Shen Yi shook his head: "Then tell me what exactly you plan to do with Serena first!"

The girl quickly replied: "She is a key to pry the cornerstone of the rules." I don't need to do anything with her, her very existence is a sabotage...... Disruption of the rules of the city. ”

"And then what happens?"

"Rules are the foundation of urban existence, the chains that bind the freedom of the world, and the endless door to free will. Every time a rule is broken, it is equivalent to prying open a piece of masonry in this edifice, or opening a door to freedom......"

Shen Yi somewhat understood: "Until one day, the rule system established in the bloody city completely collapsed...... What will be the consequences of that?"

"Free will will be freed. ”

"Free will?

"Your strength is not yet to the point where you have access to deeper secrets, and if I tell you now, they will stop at nothing to kill you. ”

"I thought I was on the blacklist of the Supreme Council. ”

"Not yet. Even though you do cause them some trouble, they still have expectations of you. Just as I have expectations for you. ”

"Have expectations for me?" Shen Yi pondered for a moment: "Why me? Because of the strength I showed?"

The girl shook her head: "The reason why humans dream of strength is because of the lack of strength of human beings. But there are beings who are born with great power, and for these beings, wisdom is what they dream of. Life always pursues what it does not have, and strength is just one of the manifestations of it. ”

Shen Yi thought thoughtfully: "So, what do you fancy is my brain that is quite effective?"

"Your unrestrained mind and endless imagination, to be exact. ”

"What's the use of that?"

"At least here, it's the most useful. The girl in white replied. After a pause, she said, "Do you know what kind of ability is the most powerful?"

Her sudden question made Shen Yi stunned.

He looked down and thought, "The ability to control time?Time stops?Time goes backwards?Predicting the future?"

The girl shook her head.

"Then raise the dead and let life last forever?"

The girl still shook her head.

Shen Yi simply didn't guess: "Then what are you talking about?"

The girl spoke: "A dream come true...... Where your mind touches, everything is true. ”

Shen Yi froze.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered what the girl in white had said to him under the ruins of the building.

"The reason why we chose to use worlds such as movies as mission worlds is indeed because there are ready-made templates, which greatly reduce the imagination required to recreate the world. But that's not because the artist lacks imagination, it's because no one can design four different separate worlds in one day, as if you can't do four screenplays in one day. ”

"Compared to creating four separate worlds in one day, I think it's much easier to write four screenplays in one day. ”

"Not necessarily, you can produce a hundred T800 Terminators in a day, but you can't design it in a day. ”

"Bloody City is not a factory. ”

"In a sense, it is. ”

“......”

Dream come true!

Wherever your mind touches, everything is true!

――――――――――――――――

The mind that let go finally returned.

Shen Yi returned to reality.

At this time, he finally understood what the girl in white meant.

"It's a space where dreams can be turned into reality, and there's a lot of power," he said...... As long as you have the ability to think, you can keep imagining and turning this power into reality......"

The girl replied: "The premise is that the ideas themselves cannot conflict." ”

"So set rules for these ideas. ”

"That's where the original rules come from. ”

These rules become iron laws, which avoid the emergence of contradictions in thinking and make them conform to basic logical needs, but at the same time limit the unprincipled growth of power. ”

"So they are the cornerstone of the world, but also the shackles of the world. ”

"It's like the law, it restricts people, but it also protects people. ”

"That's true. ”

"But what you're doing now is to destroy the laws that build society?"

"Free will needs to fly. ”

"Whose will?" Shen Yi asked sharply.

The girl did not answer.

Shen Yi gasped.

Although he knew a lot, he found that he still didn't know more.

Finally he said, "I guess that's not something a key can do." ”

"There are as many rules as there are keys. ”

"I guess it's not easy to get either. ”

"I have plenty of time to collect. ”

Shen Yi nodded, and took Serena back a few steps: "Then that's why you frequently go in and out of various worlds? Just as space managers can't intervene directly in the mission world, you can't intervene directly. You can only do what you want through adventurers. You have chosen me to be your surrogate...... Or just one of them. Balsa is right that the devil is always good at using temptation to get people to serve them willingly, until they finally betray themselves completely. You want to turn the world upside down, so you're using me, right?"

"From the moment you came into this world, you no longer belong to yourself, as you said, you belong to the puppet of the city, and you can only do things according to the will of the city. In this respect, you simply have nothing to sell...... Why not think of it another way? You're saving yourself. ”

"Save yourself from the living to the dead?"

"Fighting for the cause of freedom itself requires bloodshed and sacrifice. ”

"It's your business, not mine. I'm not interested in going against a world that can create endless power. ”

The girl replied, "You are not fighting against it, you are helping it to free itself from its shackles." ”

"And what are the Supreme Councils and the Administrators?"

"Enslavers, aggressors. ”

Shen Yi's eyes lit up.

"It's funny," he said, "when they were in the wilderness, they told me that they created the world. And now you're saying they're aggressors? Who the hell am I supposed to believe?"

"They're lying. The girl replied.

Shen Yi's face changed.

It becomes extremely ugly.

He shook his head abruptly and took a few steps back.

"No, you're lying. He said.

The girl in white flickered, and the stunned expression that suddenly appeared on her always calm little face made Shen Yi seem to have captured something, and he said loudly:

"Bloody City was built entirely according to human needs. The universe may be infinite, and there may be infinite mysteries, but there will not be a world that is born for human beings! Only life adapts to the environment, and there is no environment to adapt to life! Therefore, it cannot exist for no reason, there must be a creator! If the Supreme Council is not the creator, then who is?"

The girl in white did not answer.

Shen Yi smiled: "Obviously, you are not." ”

He abruptly pulled out the Vampire Touch.

Pointing at the girl, Shen Yi said: "I don't like to be toyed with, you said that Serena was a gift from you, and I was born and died for it, but now you want to take her away, which makes me very dissatisfied." Luckily, at least for now, I'm still in control. Maybe we should talk about how not to let my woman become a tool in your hands against the city. ”

The girl replied, "I can compensate you." ”

"I gave up a million blood points for this, and I will face the traps arranged by the administrators in the future, and countless adventurers will hunt them down...... What kind of compensation can outweigh all that?"

Again, the girl did not answer.

Shen Yi sneered: "Obviously, you can't give more than them." In a sense, I can understand it this way...... The administrators are the government army, and you are the rebels. While you can give managers a headache, you're clearly not far from shaking the foundations of the city. One key won't solve your problem, but it can save me. So no matter what way you think about it, I don't need to put myself in danger for the sake of your promise. ”

After a slight pause, Shen Yi said again: "Of course, I know that after this mission world is over, you will definitely take Serena away, and I can't stop it, so I said I was lucky...... At least for now, I still have the power to choose. ”

He abruptly retracted the dagger and aimed it at Serena.

A look of panic suddenly appeared in the eyes of the girl in white.

This is the first time that in the communication with Shen Yi, Shen Yi firmly occupied the initiative.

Shen Yi no longer looked at her, just looked at Serena affectionately, and said, "Do you love me?"

Serena's gaze looked at Shen Yi steadfastly: "Yes, dear." ”

"Even if you die, you won't be separated from me?"

"Yes. ”

"So...... Are you willing to gamble your life for our happiness?"

"I am willing, and I will die without regrets!" said Serena in a resolute tone.

She knew what Shen Yi was going to do.

She wasn't about to say no.

Let them use their lives to fight for a chance for themselves.

Shen Yi smiled.

There was a hint of cruelty, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of determination in this smile.

Strike!

The dagger was inserted into Serena's lower abdomen.
