A memory of your own.

It seemed like a sentence with no beginning or end, but Yang Yun understood what Zhao Yingkong wanted to express: "So, you don't want to be too deeply affected by your past self?" ”

"Hmm."

Now that the conversation box has been opened, it is natural to continue, Zhao Yingkong lowered his eyes: "Since I entered the main god space, whether I have become stronger or the years I have spent with everyone, whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, it belongs to me alone, not another me...... So, I don't want this time of memories to be dyed with a different color. ”

- childish words, but unexpectedly in line with Zhao Yingkong's personality and her own thoughts.

Zhao Yingkong's life trajectory is like a contrasting picture, ending with what happened on that small island and beginning with the birth of a sub-personality, and the life of "Zhao Yingkong" can be said to be divided into two completely different periods.

The days on the island are the starting point of Zhao Yingkong, where there are her beloved brother and sister, although the conditions are more difficult, but the memory is still full of warmth and laughter spent with them. However, with the passing of Zhao Ruikong, her life came to an abrupt end and opened a new chapter.

The disappearance of Zhao Fukong made the girl's heart infected with hatred. And the experience of accidentally entering the main god space made Zhao Yingkong meet the people of the Zhongzhou team, fight side by side with them, and experience countless dangers and tests together. The second half of her life is also full of important memories, a testimony to her growing and adapting in her new environment.

“…… And, I don't want to lose. ”

Just as Yang Yun understood the meaning of Zhao Yingkong's words, the girl added: "Since she said that I am more worthy of the title of 'the strongest genius in the history of the Assassin Family', then I can't lose to her." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yun couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know what Zhao Yingkong, who was the master, said before leaving, but he could roughly understand from these words that she should have aroused Zhao Yingkong's competitive heart.

- It's no wonder that after making up for the problem of the Soul Light, Zhao Yingkong's progress will not be as good as I expected, and I thought that she would re-enter the realm of the fourth order at an unimpeded speed...... Now it seems that she does not plan to follow the footsteps left by another self, but intends to walk out of a path by herself.

Yang Yun can probably understand Zhao Yingkong's feelings, since she is burdened with such expectations, she can't admit defeat or give in, because she has always grown up under such pressure...... Anyone can lose, but only not to himself, presumably Zheng Zhe feels the same way when facing his own clones.

For today's Zhao Yingkong, accepting this power also means one thing, that is, the boundary between the "she" in the past and the "her" today will become blurred. This was the reason why she had not used the power of "annihilation" in the battle just now.

In all fairness, Zhao Yingkong's choice cannot be wrong, because if she really embarks on another path of herself, then she may kill her future. Because every fourth-order powerhouse has its own path, even if it is another personality within a body, it will also make Zhao Yingkong's "Dao" mixed with a little impurity. It's just—

“…… Sakura, if your hunch is correct, then time is running out to meet that man. ”

Looking at Zhao Yingkong, who was sitting on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, his head bowed deeply, and almost burying his whole face in the soft chest of his chest, Yang Yun couldn't help coughing twice and quietly looked away: "If you want to complete this battle of your own, then strength is an indispensable thing...... What are you going to do? ”

"I'm going to get stronger." Zhao Yingkong's voice was muffled: "I will become stronger in my own way." ”

"And how are you going to get stronger?"

Silence followed, and Yang Yun had already felt Zhao Yingkong's determination from this silence, and sighed silently in his heart. Maybe with Zhao Yingkong's strength, with the help of the moment, and the double A-level bloodline that he just exchanged, he can really break through to the realm of the fourth order, but he will still not be Zhao Yingkong's opponent.

- No way, heart disease still needs heart medicine, and the bell must be tied to the bell.

"Alright, Sakura, look me in the eye."

After organizing the language in his heart, Yang Yun stepped forward, squatted in front of Zhao Yingkong, looked at the little girl who buried her head in the crook of her arm and wept silently, and said gently: "I don't know if the other you, have you ever told you about the decision you made, and what kind of mentality did you have towards death...... But that night, I actually gave her a choice. ”

Regardless of whether Zhao Yingkong listened to it or not, Yang Yun directly told him about the battle and conversation between himself and the master Zhao Yingkong that night...... And these words, as expected, attracted the attention of the other party.

- Actually, she told me about these things, and she also gave me a choice at that time.

Zhao Yingkong, who was just thinking like this, did not resort to this sentence, but quietly listened to Yang Yun continue to speak.

"Actually, I also figured everything out after you heard you say that she had arranged things for you in the moment."

Yang Yun first sighed in a complicated tone, and then his face turned grim. Although the child's face made him look comical, there was a serious look on that face: "Sakura, I may not be able to save everyone, but I can at least give them one more choice...... Whether this choice is right or wrong, it is their own will, not a puppet in the hands of 'fate'. ”

After saying this, Yang Yun exhaled a breath, and instead sat down beside Zhao Yingkong, looking at the river of life in front of him: "This is what I once said to another you, and I hope that this time you will also be able to have one more choice...... Well, no matter what the choice you make, I, as the captain of the Middle-earth team, have an obligation to help you do the best. ”

- Zhao Yingkong, Zhao Yingkong, this time I owe you.

However, Yang Yun thought he was very handsome in his speech, but he only got a ruthless comment from Zhao Yingkong: "Yang Yun, do you know that sometimes you speak very methodically, you are very smart at a glance, and sometimes you are surprisingly stupid, like a piece of wood, especially not to please women?" ”

"Huh? How can it be? ”

Hearing this, Yang Yun suddenly became a little dissatisfied and said: "I obviously say every word from the bottom of my heart......"

"Huh."

Before Yang Yun's words had completely fallen, he felt a heavy weight suddenly appear on his left shoulder, which suddenly suffocated his words. And at this moment, Zhao Yingkong's voice was like a wisp of breeze, with indescribable tenderness and helplessness, penetrating this short silence and slowly sounding in the air.

"Thank you for comforting me, Yang Yun......"

"If possible, lend me your shoulder for a while." (End of chapter)
