Chapter 44: On This Day, the New World (Part II)
There is nothing to describe, this gray-black sky is extremely boring. I can't see the edge, it's too far away from space, and there is no life at all.
Then again, what is life?
Is plant growth a living thing?
Is a clear sky a sign of life?
Or is it that the thing that is called play is called life in a child?
The person in front of him is constantly depicting his world, a world that is so beautiful that it is illusory, he wants to believe but he can't believe it, but he can only believe it in the face of constant evidence.
With that, jealousy.
A blind person hears others say how beautiful today's flowers are, and a terminally ill person sees someone wasting time on an electronic device......
It's just that Sora is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, and her jealousy is just the first birth, and it has been extinguished in her arms. What reason do they have for jealousy? Sora knew it wasn't her fault, but she was willing to bear the sin for them, as long as people stopped fighting and didn't kill.
Because she's the ultimate weapon.
It is also the strongest, weapon.
"βare you okay?" Qin Deng's words pulled Sora back from the field of thought, and Sora nodded, indicating that he had no problem.
Qin Deng knocked on the ground: "Now, can you tell your story?" β
"The story? What's the story? Our story? Looking at Qin Deng nodded, Sora retrieved his memory: "The most widely circulated in the memory bank is the story about the first artificial armor before 1372, and its main content is like this......"
"Wait, stop, it's your story, not the story you created." Qin Deng interrupted Sora's words, and seeing Sora's unexplained expression, Qin Deng had to explain again: "That is to say, what is happening in your world, you just need to tell me a brief history of your world." β
"Oh, I see." Sora stretched out his right hand and pulled a thread with a socket from the collar of his combat suit: "Give me your connector." β
An extremely subtle expression appeared on Qin Deng's face, his eyes were fixed on Sora's hand, and Sora noticed his gaze and withdrew his hand.
"The story is simple." Sora didn't feel any awkwardness, or rather, she avoided the awkward part: "From the very beginning, it was two countries that started the war. β
"Then, for all sorts of reasons, the war expanded, and then, the war escalated. The more the war fought, the smaller the country became, and eventually it split into two groups, us and the other side. Sora said expressionlessly.
"Maybe it's not just two groups, but in the end it's just two." Qin Deng tentatively interjected.
Sora's eyes were focused on the sky at some point: "You may be right. In the end, the war swept through everyone and turned the earth into what it is now. β
"So, how did you come to be born as weapons?" Qin Deng asked her, "Some of you have been with power since birth, and I'm curious how you did it. β
"I don't know. In the words of those who still believe in the name of the gods, it should be called a gift. Sora added at the end: "No one knows, and no one wants to know." β
"Is it true that no one has thought about it? I'm kind of an analyzed person, and you're all so curious about me, how can you not explore this? Qin Deng wondered.
Sora said, "Because some people thought about it before 958, some people analyzed it, and the data was preserved, but according to the results of the data feedback, they were destroyed before they could find the answer." The people who destroyed them also wanted to continue their research, but were stopped by their leader, 'The answer is always there, but war will not wait for you, if you don't defeat the other side with this power, we will die', and their words are exactly that. β
Sora even played the voice they had left behind. Qin Dengbao has a noncommittal attitude, but judging from his personal approach, he still prefers to explore the unknown.
When the voice was played, both of them suddenly fell silent. They had nothing to ask or anything to talk to.
Qin Deng stared at each other for a long time, and he described the beautiful world to Sora, all of which were carefully selected by him, and every sentence avoided the unbeautiful things in Gensokyo, and at the same time went to elaborate on the beautiful things. He wanted to get Sora out of here. This is his selfishness, after he completed his first selfish act, his desire is a little inflated, he can't say whether it's bad or good, but he likes it very much.
Desire can keep him from being lonely for a while, and it can also make him put a small label on himself again.
Sora is not weak, with Qin Deng's own weak ability, it is completely impossible to forcibly take her away. What's more, he still has a task on his own, to find someone named Yukong or Mengxiang, and then, he has to complete that task in his own way.
It's just that what he will choose can only depend on himself.
Sora didn't know what Qin Deng was thinking, but she was also looking at Qin Deng and the sky behind him. It's really endless darkness, what will happen to the world next? Sora looks sadly into the future, what is she going to pursue? Is it a good life? Is the Earth beautiful? She didn't deny herself, but what she wanted more was peace for mankind and salvation for humanity.
"Do you want to get out of here?" It was him again, and the man in front of him, it was he who pulled himself from reality into a false fantasy, and it was he who once again withdrew himself from thinking.
"You want ...... Go to me? Qin Deng sat on the ark and stretched out an olive branch not held by a pigeon to the drowning sora in the river.
Sora's eyes focused on him, and she opened her mouth to reply, "Maybe, for the time being, not to." β
"You're hesitating." Qin Deng saw her contradictions, but he didn't know how to alleviate them: "Do you want me to help you?" β
"Can you really take me away?" Sora asked rhetorically.
Qin Deng was stunned for a moment and said, "Not now." After that, you can. "Probably can, right?
After hearing the affirmative reply, Sora nodded: "Then you take Sham away, she deserves to leave the war." β
"No, I just want to take you away." Qin Deng is not a purely good person.
"What conditions or time do you need to get out of here?" Sora changed the topic again, and at the same time, Qin Deng heard the sound of the machine running: "Tomorrow is my first mission. We're going down. β
The terrifying feeling of falling immediately filled Qin Deng's senses, and he closed his eyes: "Tomorrow you take me out, and I'll find a few people." If I find it, I'll be able to go back. β
"Okay." As Sora finished speaking, metal shards and wind lifted as she sat down in the middle of the debris, "I'm going to think about it. β
Qin Deng opened his eyes, covered his mouth and nose, and said inarticulately, "Okay." I'll wait for you. β
