Chapter 989 - Retreat as Advance
After making sure that the light gate behind him when he came in was the exit, Nameless didn't dare to turn around and go towards the light gate at the first time.
Because according to the rules of the test, if he retreats, it will also be regarded as a failure of the test, and he will have to pay the price of his life.
"Damn, are you sure you're not playing with me? There's only one exit, and now I've found it, but in this test, I obviously said that I can't go back, how do I get to that exit?"
Nameless couldn't help but scold and complained.
Seeing this, the middle-aged king smiled and said: "This is the difficulty of this level, even if you really find the right exit, you may not dare to go, not to mention that what you find is really the exit?"
Hearing the words of the middle-aged king, Nameless was slightly stunned and said, "Can't the entrance be the exit?"
"Who knows?" said the middle-aged king with a smile again, but he didn't answer Nameless's words directly, he couldn't tell Nameless the right answer.
"No, I know, this entrance is the exit, since it is connected to the outside world, then it is the entrance at the same time, it can also be the exit, you don't want to confuse me. ”
After thinking for a while, Nameless strengthened his initial thoughts, he felt that this was used by the middle-aged king to confuse him, maybe the middle-aged king's confusion was also part of this test.
In this regard, the middle-aged king did not give a positive answer, and there was still a smile on his face, making it difficult to see the meaning of his smile.
"Since this entrance is the exit, then even if I walk towards it, then it should not be regarded as a retreat. There is a saying that is called retreat as advance, and in this space, since there is only one exit, then going towards the exit is not retreating. Rather, it is to move forward, which is in line with the superficial meaning of the phrase "retreat is advance". ”
"Maybe at the beginning, I would have understood the meaning of the phrase "you can't go back!"
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Nameless thought of a possibility again.
At the beginning of the test, that voice told himself that in the test, you can only move forward and not retreat, so Nameless has always understood that in the test. You can't go back, but now that you think about it, maybe that's not what it means.
Retreat, this is not a stop, the retreat of the ontology, it can actually refer to more.
In the face of difficulties, not daring to face the attack can also be regarded as a kind of retreat. Avoiding and not daring to face it can also be a sign of retreat. Of course, at the beginning, Nameless understood it as a footstep, and the ontology could not be moved backwards, which was also a backward performance, and his thoughts were also not wrong.
Only, in the beginning. He didn't think much about it, but just made a one-sided understanding of this retreat.
Now that I think about it, I naturally come up with a lot more answers, and as the middle-aged king said before, who can really know the meaning?
This can only be watched by the nameless and the testers themselves. Of course, in fact, there are only two testers at this point, plus Nameless.
The last tester who reached this point, how he failed, for Nameless, that is not an important thing, what matters is how he passes this test.
In the end, he made a decision, he decided to walk towards the light gate behind him, even if it meant to retreat in a certain sense, but he thought he was doing the right thing.
From a sealed space, with only one exit, it is found forward, forward, and this is also a forward, not a backward!
Nameless firmly believes that this one of his own thoughts, this one understanding is correct!
Just as Nameless was about to turn around, the somewhat incredulous voice of the middle-aged king came: "Little guy, aren't you afraid of death?"
"Don't forget, if you really turn your head, it's not going forward, it's going backwards, and in the test, going backwards is death!"
The words of the middle-aged king have a certain demagogy, but at this time, they can't affect Nameless, Nameless at this time is completely firm, and he firmly believes in his choice.
And on the other hand, in fact, the words of this middle-aged king made him even more convinced that his choice was not wrong, in the previous time, those inheritance guardians would not pay attention to Nameless, and after every Nameless passed the test, they only gave Nameless something to something, but they would not pay attention to Nameless's choice.
Nameless didn't believe that the middle-aged king in front of him had such a good intention, and would remind him that in Nameless's opinion, this was also the middle-aged king's attempt to mislead him.
"Where my eyes go, that's ahead, and where my steps follow what my eyes see, that's forward, how can that be considered backwards?"
"I told you, you can't confuse me!"
Nameless said firmly, and without any pause, he turned and walked towards the entrance, the one he thought was the exit.
"Hmph, be a smart boy, you will regret it, no, you have no chance to regret it, you will die because of your wrong choice, this is the price you have to pay for being smart!"
There was a hint of annoyance in the words of the middle-aged king behind him, and there was also a certain irony.
It's a pity that Nameless at this time didn't pay attention to his meaning, and walked forward without looking back, until he reached the place where the light gate was, and pushed it open vigorously.
At the Gate of Light, there was endless darkness, as if if you would fall into the bottomless abyss if you stepped into it!
"Look, there's a bottomless abyss, and when you step into it, you'll be greeted by death, so turn back. The words of the middle-aged king behind him came out again.
And Nameless still didn't pay attention to it, he had already stepped out directly, darkness was originally the main color in the test channel, where for this sealed world, that is the outside world, it is the exit, at this time Nameless can be determined.
Behind the darkness, there is not necessarily despair, it is death, maybe behind it is light, it is also maybe!
It's like after night, and then day! (To be continued......)
