175. Narrator's determination
There was a change in the Federation, and Xu Zhi still didn't choose to leave Cloud City, not because she was too lazy to care.
Just because at the beginning, Xu Zhi could repeatedly spot the fanatics who tried to fish in troubled waters through the perspective of the dependents guarding the entrance, but after she killed more than a dozen times, the other party seemed to give up, but neither Xu Zhi nor the narrator thought that [Cup] would give up Cloud City.
Since fanatics from the outside world can't come in and depict the formation, then there can only be problems from within Cloud City.
Therefore, Xu Zhi chose to stay in Cloud City, after all, no matter how you look at it, Cloud City will be an important piece of the puzzle in his plan, if the arrangement in Cloud City fails, it may bring some trouble to his plan.
Xu Zhi didn't have the hope of completely and directly preventing the other party's "coming", she was not arrogant enough to that extent, and now her goal was just to block the other party, and it was best to let his strength be damaged a little because of this.
Sometimes Xu Zhi felt that she was very indifferent, she didn't really care about the lives of other people, and when she learned that a large number of transcendent people in the Federation had died, and this was just the beginning of the news, there was no trace of emotional fluctuations in her heart, pity, sympathy, or other emotions caused by the death of the same kind.
It's more just thinking about whether this will make his strength increase and cause more trouble, and the Federation should do something in response if it is not stupid.
She didn't even feel anything about the fact that "humanity might perish under this catastrophe", for her, it was just an empty and meaningless topic, and sometimes, Xu Zhi even felt that she was a ghost outside the group, and the world was just a small box for her.
But sometimes, for example, when she saw Zhong Lingfan, Shen Jinwen, or other residents of Cloud City, she would think that these flesh-and-blood people with different personalities were quite interesting, and if she was the only one left in this world, it would be quite boring.
So if she can spare the strength on the premise of protecting herself, it doesn't seem like a thing she can't accept to shelter them a little.
However, this shelter must be within the scope of her ability, if it is too troublesome or too dangerous, then forget it.
Even so, Xu Zhi felt a little strange about this idea of his own.
She didn't feel that she was such a "kind" person, even if she did have some friendship with Zhong Lingfan, Shen Jinwen and others, and saw the support and worship of the residents of Cloud City, but her heart was actually not touched, but why did she have the idea of "I can shelter them casually"?
"Is it because I consider them all my possessions?" Xu Zhi's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he felt that he had touched the source of this strange "kindness".
Yes, that's it, Xu Zhi nodded in approval.
She regards the transcendents of Cloud City as her "property", and when her life is guaranteed, it is normal for her to want to protect her property, right?
The narrator looked at Xu Zhi muttering to himself and deduced a fairly reasonable explanation for his "strange kindness", and said a little puzzled:
[Can't it be that you are indeed not a completely indifferent and ruthless person, and retain some human emotions? 】
It doesn't feel that Xu Zhi has completely annihilated his "humanity" and has become a completely indifferent and emotionless person.
Although it is true that she is more aloof and freewheeling than most people, it is precisely because she is more freewheeling that it highlights a bit of her "emotion".
She will do something meaningless because she is happy, she will choose more dangerous ways because she is unhappy, and she will become a stir because she finds it interesting
In short, sometimes, emotions are the gravitational pull that pulls her, and now it should not be strange that she has the heart to shelter the residents because of part of her sense of responsibility.
But strangely, Xu Zhi doesn't think that she will be a person with positive emotions such as "responsibility", she seems to think very badly of herself.
Wait a minute
The narrator is aware of a problem.
Perhaps, Xu Zhi is not unwilling to admit that she has such a sense of responsibility, but she doesn't understand what a positive "sense of responsibility" is?
Looking back at Xu Zhi's past, the narrator thinks that this may be the real answer.
The emotions about "responsibility" that Xu Zhi received in her life were almost all negative, and although the fragments brought her a lot of extraordinary knowledge, they did not teach her what positive "emotions" were, she was like a problem child who gained strength before solving the problem, so she ran all the way in the direction of paranoia.
What's more, as early as the beginning of the change in Cloud City, Xu Zhi abandoned all the "kindness, justice, and gentleness" that belonged to her, as well as the "responsibility" that even she didn't know very well.
She cut out all these emotions and emotions, although these positive emotions themselves accounted for a very small proportion of her body, but after cutting them all, Xu Zhi became more extreme.
Fortunately, even if she cuts it, her emotions are not completely cut off, and when facing her family, she will still regrow a little "gentleness", and in contact with Zhong Lingfan and others, she will give birth to a little "responsibility" that even she herself is not aware of.
Of course, the narrator doesn't think that Xu Zhi's "problem character" is a bad thing, but he thinks that maybe it is more beneficial for Xu Zhi to go further by knowing more emotions and emotions, and he can ignore those emotions, but he can't be completely ignorant and incomprehensible.
Thinking of his purpose, the fragment, and what Xu Zhi had been trying hard to try and failing recently, the narrator silently made a decision in his heart.
It's not that it didn't anticipate this situation, but from the perspective of the past, it was too fantastic to contend with "Him", and now that the opportunity is in front of you, why not try it?
The narrator has never had such a "bold" moment and the sword has gone off the rails, from the beginning of the "accessory" without any emotion, to now it has gradually developed its own consciousness and thinking, and even has a "character", all because of Xu Zhi.
It and Xu Zhi are a community of destiny, perhaps, now is the time to gradually tell her the "truth".
When the narrator makes up his mind, the console's screen goes dark, revealing two white pixel fonts against a black background.
[Xu Rank. 】
The narrator rarely called her name like this, and Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "What's wrong?" Something bad again? ”
Xu Zhi's skillful attitude and ridicule actually made the narrator slightly have some complicated emotions, which are enough to be called "mixed tastes".
When did it start, the relationship between it and Xu Zhi from official tools and users, there is more of an emotion similar to "friend", this "friendship" that could not have appeared, after all, how can anyone become friends with it?
Although the narrator can understand people's emotions, it will still be surprised when this emotion appears in himself and Xu Zhi.
This is a change it didn't expect, but it seems, isn't bad either.
The narrator calmly accepted this change of his own, and then asked Xu Zhi seriously:
[Do you remember, how I appeared?] 】
