Zhou Baiyu was obviously not very interested in Bai Ye's invitation.

He only wants one thing now-

What you put in the safe can make a difference.

"I'm not your seed, you have to be a gardener, a gardener, or a gardener, and find someone else. I need you to tell me how to get out of here. ”

Zhou Baiyu responded calmly, the whole person is ready to start the reverse corruption at any time, and if necessary, he will kill Bai Ye.

If Bai Ye dies, then he will always be a good father in Bai Ling's eyes.

But if he is still alive - when Bai Ling and Bai Ye meet again, he must be very uncomfortable after learning the truth, right?

"Don't rush to answer me yet, think about it carefully."

"I can feel that you are hostile to me, but are you nobler than me?"

"Mr. Zhou Baiyu, is it possible that your journey to save the world must be just?"

"If I save the world, prevent the end of the world, or even ...... If I have done enough to curb the source of corruption, then my sacrifice of my daughter will be called righteousness. ”

"The evaluation of future generations will not be that Bai Ye ruined his daughter for his own selfish desires."

"Instead, it has changed, Bai Ye sacrificed his daughter for the great cause of eternity."

"So, how do we, who live in the present, know the merits and demerits of the future?"

Zhou Baiyu looked at Bai Ye's back, and many questions arose in his mind.

白野 says:

"The gods become rules, that's the chessboard, we may not be the ones who play chess, but we can create chess pieces."

"I am a gardener, Mr. Zhou Baiyu, you will slowly understand what a gardener is."

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu seemed to have become Bai Ye himself, and many memories were born from his mind.

……

……

Sanctuary.

A young child dressed in pure white clothes is squatting on the lawn with a rice bowl.

He looked intently at the two ants on the lawn.

It's hard to imagine that this kind of thing can be more interesting than the various games in the sanctuary.

Children at this age seem to like to be in control of others.

But the child in white is not.

The girl in black sat in front of the child in white:

"What's so nice about ants? The dean let us go to the movies. ”

The girl in black tried to take the hand of the boy in white as she spoke.

Her name, or the name of every child here, is actually recognizable.

Codename, black.

And the one who squatted on the ground and looked at the ants was codenamed White.

Shiro let his hand be pulled, but he didn't want to leave. It seems that ants are much more exciting than movies and games.

Those were the two most common black ants, and it stands to reason that ants should not be left alone.

Black thought it was strange.

Shiro seemed to see her problem and said:

"They don't belong here because I brought them here."

"Whether it's a movie or a game, they have a fixed ending...... There may be several endings to the game, but the freedom is always limited. ”

"But it's a lot more interesting, you see, can you guess that the ants are thousands of miles away in their eyes?"

Bored. So boring.

What's so fun about ants? Even if an ant comes thousands of miles away, isn't an ant still an ant?

One foot can be trampled to death.

That's what Black thought.

Through the black expression, Bai seems to read some thoughts:

"You, you have to learn to put your thoughts on your face, don't expose your face, you will suffer in the future."

"Let's go, the dean's intentions, for the time being, you can't disobey it."

Shiro stood up, but before he could stand up, he patted the dust off his body, then pointed at the ant and said:

"That's right, let me tell you, the two of them will dominate this grassland."

"Childish ghosts. Two little ants. ”

Black raised his eyebrows disdainfully, and pulled Bai to go somewhere else.

When Zhou Baiyu saw this memory, he didn't understand much at first.

The next memories are also some very boring memories, learning the culture of the human world. Learn all kinds of knowledge.

During this period, the voice of the dean's old man sounded:

"You are the last hope, the trump card that saves everything when everything comes to the worst."

"You have to learn the culture of mankind. For you too have a mission to restore civilization. ”

This memory made Zhou Baiyu suddenly understand...... Where does Huang Mu's common sense of humanity come from?

Shirano is generous.

When Zhou Baiyu saw that those memories were played here, Bai Ye's voice also sounded:

"We don't just learn, we feel. There are certain points in time when we can experience the real human world. So in a sense, we know as much as you do. ”

In fact, Zhou Baiyu was very curious, what was Bai Ye's intention in telling all this to himself?

Shirano didn't continue to speak. But as generous as ever, his memories are still playing.

This time, it was Shirano eavesdropping. In the corridor outside a certain study, Shirano seemed to step into nothingness with the help of black.

Although Black has always looked down on Hakuno's childish behavior, it seems that only Shirano will make Kuro feel a little funny.

Eavesdropping on conversations between the abbot and the staff of the sanctuary is not allowed.

The dean's voice was old:

"The order of awakening is the most important, among the several of them, Huang was the first to awaken, which means ...... Is his qualification the highest? ”

One after another, several other children seemed to want to hide their abilities, but Huang ...... Very obedient, he always shows submissiveness. ”

"Lan lost control last time, causing several staff members to disappear, this matter, those children's side...... Nothing out of the ordinary, right? cough cough cough ......"

In response to the dean, it was a middle-aged woman's voice:

"No, we've moved Blue to the surveillance area."

"Okay, good job, Blue's ability is too aggressive, it's best to seal it first. These children...... But it's all baby, cough cough cough...... Ahem......"

The dean coughed, looking agitated.

Zhou Baiyu felt this memory, and a strange feeling was born in his heart.

Who is the Dean?

What exactly does a sanctuary do? Where did it originate?

The gods are the top, so what are these children?

In the Nightmare Bridge, if the few people who were saved, then it stands to reason that the strength of these people is far stronger than the people who saved them.

Zhou Baiyu suddenly remembered, has Huang Mu been pretending?

Could it be that the real enemies of these sons of the sanctuary, the colorful gourd babies, are actually avoiding the demons?

Zhou Baiyu felt more and more that the 2.0 version of the Nightmare Bridge, this version of the connection between the previous and the next, seemed to be far more important than he realized.

It's a pity that I didn't participate.

If the demons knew how important these people were codenamed colors, they would surely do whatever it took to arrest them.

With the strength of the forerunners at that time, there must be no way to survive in the face of the all-out search of the demons.

And at that time, Huang Mu and others ...... It seems that a different direction was chosen.

Huang Mu's disguise may stem from some kind of ...... Self-awareness.

He is well aware that if his value is known, it is likely to lead to some changes.

Zhou Baiyu had an urge to summon a strange train at this time and go to see Huang Mu again.

"Now, only Shiro hasn't woken up, right? In this way, he should be the slowest awakening of all children. This kid isn't very gregarious, and seems a bit withdrawn. ”

"According to the order, his ability should be the lowest among the several people."

The dean's tone seemed a little disappointed.

Judging from the words of the abbot, the order of awakening of the children of the seven sanctuaries is important.

The first to awaken means the strongest.

Huang Mu is the first?

Zhou Baiyu only thought it was ridiculous.

The blue hole looks much stronger than Huang Mu.

Is Shirano the last?

At this time, the woman's voice sounded:

"Except for Huang Mu being the first, we can't know the order of the others, you know, these kids are obedient to us...... But without exception, except for Huang Mu, every child has reservations and concealments from us. ”

"All of them are trying to hide their abilities."

"Black is the last to discover her ability, but her ability ...... But it is also the most difficult to catch, so it is possible that she is not the penultimate awakened, she is only the penultimate to be discovered. The rest of us can make this guess as well. ”

"Except for Huang who was the first to awaken, everyone else is not sure. Even...... We should step up surveillance of the dialogue, is he really not awake? ”

The dean was silent for a long time, and with the sound of coughing, he slowly spoke:

"Ahem, the adults outside are still looking for a way to break the barrier, before that, we must disguise ourselves."

"Blue like that, it can't happen again, getting the children's complete trust is what you have to consider, if the children don't trust you all the time......"

"Then use blue to reverse these perceptions."

"Before the adults enter, we have to let the children completely obey us."

This is where the memories end.

According to the content of his memory, Zhou Baiyu got clues -

If I'm not mistaken, then the dean seems to have joined forces with forces outside the barrier, and is plotting something.

And a few children in the sanctuary are more like some kind of bargaining chips. Bai Ye's voice also sounded at this time:

"Humanity, the Precursors, the Corrupt Species, the Demons, and we, in a sense, are all looking for a true solution to the apocalypse. Mr. Zhou Baiyu, our importance may be far greater than you realize. The forces we are facing are far more exaggerated than you think. ”

"The gods have turned into rules, but the gods all have ghosts in their hearts, and those who can reach the level of gods have their own backs."

"Under the game of rules, your forerunners, pure walkers, and us have also appeared."

"We are not enemies. On the contrary, since the task requires you to protect us, it can be seen that ...... We are fellow travelers. ”

These words made Zhou Baiyu feel that something was wrong.

But for a while, Zhou Baiyu had no way to refute.

The memories are still playing.

"Actually, my ability is the second fastest after Huang Mu. As I said, I'm a gardener. ”

"My ability is to bring out the ability of others and let them grow."

After Bai Ye's words fell, Zhou Baiyu saw a strange scene.

The view focused on an insect in the grass, the beetle.

Beetles look very domineering, thick carapaces, flashing with a pitch-black luster, people are afraid to see it, their huge size, compared to ants, is simply a huge thing.

But this Beetle is dead.

An ant that bites through the belly of the beetle crawls out of the beetle's body.

Zhou Baiyu thought that he had seen the legendary "ants bite the elephant to death".

But the actual situation is different from what he imagined-

Because there are only two ants. Two ants, biting a beetle to death.

This thing sounds incredible, like an ordinary person who really knocked down the tiger with a sliding shovel.

Zhou Baiyu understood this meaning.

Combined with Bai Ye's voice, he felt the shock of Bai Ye's ability.

Gardener.

The two ants were taken thousands of miles away by Bai Ye, and they were confused......

The life of an ant is changed by the power of fate.

But also because of this, they received a gift of fate.

These two ants, no one in the grassland would have cared about them.

But gradually, they will become the overlords of the steppe.

It will be able to bite the beetle one day.

And in the near future, in a corner where no one is paying attention -

They may grow into beings that even lions and tigers fear.

Until, they dominate the steppe.

Smack.

Shirano's feet appear in the memory of the image, and the two ants are dead.

was trampled to pieces, his body was directly trampled flat, and the juice stuck to the soles of Bai Ye's shoes.

But no one cared.

Because playing on the lawn, stepping on ants is too normal.

It's just that like Shirano, there aren't many people who run to the corner to play.

At this time, Shirano's eyes were fixed on the cricket.

Crickets.

He looked at ants again, just like he had looked at ants.

Zhou Baiyu recalled what Bai Ye had said when he was a child...... He seemed to understand some of Hakano's thoughts.

It's a lot more interesting than movies and games.

As a gardener, Shirano gave these things a certain possibility.

Watch them use the possibility to break some shackles, change their fate, and subvert what people think of life...... It's really a lot of fun.

This is the end of the memory, Bai Ye is very generous, but he does not have a brain, let Zhou Baiyu know all the things about the seven sons of the sanctuary.

He had to leave some suspense to keep Zhou Baiyu interested in him.

Noticing Zhou Baiyu's expression, Bai Ye said with satisfaction:

"Looks like you can understand me."

"Great, Mr. Zhou Baiyu, I knew that you must be able to understand my existence."

"After escaping from the sanctuary, I was looking for the perfect ant. It's not the kind of ant that anyone can trample to death. ”

"Ling'er and Sewing are such ants, but when I was convinced of the characteristics of Sewing, I realized that Sewing is a better existence than Ling'er, maybe Sewing Devouring Ling'er is a better choice."

"But I also want to give Ling'er a chance, so I chose to leave and let her experience the most desperate moment, because the power of the Corrupt Gu requires great despair to open, you already know this conclusion, don't you?"

Through Zhang Haoyun's despair and becoming a demon king, Zhou Baiyu actually discovered that everyone's qualifications are different, but people with the same qualifications are more desperate and become corrupt...... The more powerful.

"I really want to see if Ling'er defeats the sewing body and becomes the ultimate Gu, or sews the body and sews Ling'er and becomes the only overlord."

"But Mr. Zhou Baiyu, I made a mistake, I realized that both Ling'er and sewing need a growth cycle. Fortunately, your presence stopped my mistake. ”

Bai Ye did think so, and Zhou Baiyu let him see more possibilities for sewing and Bai Ling.

Zhou Baiyu also knew that Bai Ye's ability was indeed related to the word "gardener".

Bai Ye is not the auxiliary of Huang Mu's chosen luck, nor is it the powerful and domineering control of Blue Hole.

Bai Ye's ability seems to be able to bring some kind of growth potential to people according to their different growth experiences.

This kind of potential, perhaps even Bai Ye himself does not know.

But really, in a sense......

Shirano is a man who creates chess pieces.

The gods have turned into rules, this is the chessboard, but as long as Bai Ye is given enough time, maybe he can guide more people with excellent qualifications like sewing Bai Ling to appear.

So why are the sewing bodies and Bai Ling stronger than countless corrupt species from the beginning, as if their starting point is already the culmination of their hard work-

All of this is due to Shirano's ability.

Shirano can give others exaggerated growth.

"Now, allow me, as a gardener, to bring you my gift and let me draw out your growth, right?"

One of the seven sons of the sanctuary, "Gardener" Bai Ye, smiled.

In Bai Ye's opinion, Zhou Baiyu promised himself that there would be no harm in Baili, and such a smart person would definitely agree to his request.

Zhou Baiyu suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.
