- The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive.

If anyone said that Old Man Jin didn't understand women as well as Old Man Gu, then Yang Yun would definitely throw this sentence in his face.

Zhao Yingkong said that she was leaning on his shoulder for a while, but in fact, she leaned quietly on Yang Yun's shoulder for a whole night...... Thirteen hours, eighteen minutes and thirty-two seconds, to be more precise. During this long time, Zhao Yingkong remained silent all the time, only the sound of her even breathing echoed in the empty underground world.

And Yang Yun could only maintain the same posture, and even thoughtfully used the power of the second-order gene lock to change the muscles on his shoulders, so that Zhao Yingkong could sleep more comfortably and perform his duties perfectly.

In this underground world where there is no change of day and night, time seems to have lost its meaning. And when Zhao Yingkong finally opened her eyes slowly, Yang Yun immediately noticed her awakening.

"Good morning."

Yang Yun spoke for the first time, and he was surprised to find that he didn't feel bored, so he chose to hide his inner thoughts and thoughts calmly under the words he said: "Do you want to sleep a little longer?" ”

"A short break is a rare relaxation, but to indulge in this peaceful time is contrary to the way of the Assassins."

Although she said this, Zhao Yingkong didn't have the slightest idea of getting up, she continued to lean on Yang Yun's shoulder and said, "I dreamed." ”

"What did you dream about?"

"Some memories of the past...... On that island, there is another memory of me. ”

Zhao Yingkong hesitated for a moment, but in the end she still said: "...... It's not something to care about. ”

Yang Yun was keenly aware that Zhao Yingkong's tone didn't seem to be as cold as last night, but a little more gentle, closer to Zhao Yingkong's master's personality.

This subtle change made Yang Yun understand something, and asked, "So...... Have you made your choice? ”

"That's right."

Zhao Yingkong moved his body, stretched his waist gently, and detached from Yang Yun's shoulder, not stingy in exposing the girl's beautiful body to the eyes of the person beside him.

- And this seemingly casual behavior is something that Zhao Yingkong would never do before.

"In the past, I was 'Zhao Yingkong', and now I am also 'Zhao Yingkong', no matter which 'Zhao Yingkong' is missing, I will no longer be me."

Zhao Yingkong's words carried a certain determination and a certain relief: "Just like the other person I said, I have the qualifications to decide my own destiny. ”

The girl calmed down, took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, and re-examined the world in front of her with her clear and determined eyes: "And taking everything in her past and moving forward with her is my final choice." ”

The two distinct memories, although they are completely different, are both an indispensable part of "Zhao Yingkong". The first half is the foundation of her life, giving her love and warmth; And the second half is the imprint of her growth, shaping her courage and tenacity. The two are intertwined to form her complete self, and also make her existence richer and more three-dimensional.

Zhao Yingkong on the island, Zhao Yingkong of the Assassin family, Zhao Yingkong who got along with Zhao Weikong; Zhao Yingkong in the main god space, Zhao Yingkong who got along with the Zhongzhou team, and Zhao Yingkong after resurrection...... All of them together draw a unique "Zhao Yingkong".

“…… That's right. ”

Yang Yun understood what the other party meant, although it seemed that Zhao Yingkong's choice was no different from before, but Zhao Yingkong, who was the master of the personality, just handed over the things he left behind to Zhao Yingkong's hands, and now it was Zhao Yingkong himself who made the choice and decided to take this gift.

Moreover, she has the consciousness to accept this gift and at the same time not be affected by this gift, and to practice the way of her heart. Zhao Yingkong knows that no matter how the memories are blended, no matter how the power infects, she is still a unique self, and in the face of the past, she must also bravely welcome the future.

- After all, she still made the same choice as her other self, relying on her own strength, and made a difficult choice.

It's just that for some reason, Yang Yun should obviously be happy for Zhao Yingkong's choice, but feeling the weight that has accompanied him for a long time leave his shoulders, he can't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.

However, this feeling was only for a moment, Yang Yun quickly adjusted his mentality, turned his head sideways at Zhao Yingkong and smiled: "Congratulations, Yingkong." ”

"Don't you want to ask me what I dreamed about?" Zhao Yingkong stood up.

"It should ...... No need to ask, you have your privacy, and as a partner, I feel very happy for you. ”

Suppressing the inexplicable loss in his heart, Yang Yun said with a smile: "The important thing is that you have made your own choice, which is more important than anything else." ”

"You know what, Yang Yun? Sometimes what you should do is to ask questions, rather than leave room for others to turn around, like a prophet who thinks he understands the mood of others. ”

Yang Yun thought that she had said a correct royal word, but Zhao Yingkong in front of her obviously didn't think so, she sighed, then squatted down again, and hugged Yang Yun from behind: "Just now, I dreamed of my brother and sister. ”

"While resting on your shoulder, I felt the familiar warmth of my dreams, like a brother."

The girl pressed her weight all on Yang Yun's back, and pressed Yang Yun's small body to lean forward slightly, and she was not even satisfied, and even put her lips to Yang Yun's ear, and said softly: "But from this point of view, your shoulders are obviously so thin, you can even let me hold you in my arms, just like hugging my former sister......"

The warm breath in the ears creates subtle air currents, stimulating the keen senses belonging to the fourth order; And the heart-wrenching words, as well as the emotion in the tone, made Yang Yun's brain have a momentary downtime.

However, before Yang Yun could say anything, the girl's body left his back. When Yang Yun turned back suddenly, he could only see Zhao Yingkong's back towards the elevator with his back to him.

"Don't get me wrong." "It's just a way for our brothers and sisters to show affection when we were on that little island," she said...... Ruikong and I do it a lot. ”

With that, Zhao Yingkong turned around and left, walking quickly towards the elevator. It's just that her pace is obviously a little faster than before, and her pace is a little chaotic, and the redness behind her ears proves that the girl's heart is not as calm as it seems.

That's it.

Looking at the figure of Zhao Yingkong who never looked back, boarded the elevator and left directly, Yang Yun couldn't help laughing, at this moment, he felt that his originally somewhat confused heart had been incredibly calm.

"Yes, since you have made your own choice, then I, as the current captain of the Central Continent team, also have the obligation to help you with the bottom line."

Yang Yun, who was talking to himself, stood up and walked towards the river of life step by step, revealing an inexplicable firmness in his steps, until he immersed his entire body in the river and sank all the way down the river. The water gently embraced Yang Yun's body, and as he sank all the way, everything around him seemed to disappear with him.

Yang Yun closed his eyes, as if he wanted to be isolated from the world, and completely immersed his spirit in the depths of his heart, forgetting both things and me......

Next, it was my turn to find my own way to become stronger. (End of chapter)
