Chapter 124: The Promise
Chapter 124
Ma Jiang couldn't stand this silence that made him feel uncomfortable, and after a while, he said, "What made you, a person who has been dying, suddenly change your philosophy of life?" ”
"I've never wanted to die, doctor, so I don't really want to die." Du Zhengyi said, he turned his eyes away, and continued, "Maybe you think I'm not afraid of death, but what I'm not afraid of is unknown death." Of all the things I've ever experienced, only the fact that the return date has been set is the most helpless. It's like every time you look up, no matter what you're looking at, there's a huge hourglass hanging over it. ”
"How did you overcome this feeling?" Ma Jiang asked, feeling through all the pockets of his clothes before finding the cigarette case. He took out two cigarettes and gave Du Zheng a cigarette.
"I've experimented with countless methods in the hope of ignoring the existence of the hourglass." Du Zhengyi took the cigarette and lit it, and continued indifferently, "I have also tried my best to enjoy life, and you know that I have so many credits that it is useless. But in the end, I realized that the only way to prolong an effective life is to do things every minute. Even if the duration is not enough, the dimension has the effect of increasing. On top of that, sometimes, focus really makes me forget about the hourglass. ”
Mahjong snorted and spit out the smoke ring, avoiding Du Zhengyi's sight, "The current cigarettes are really girly, too fine." Human beings are always changing so fast. ”
Du Zhengyi also looked at the cigarette stick, it was indeed too thin. "You're such a whiner. Actually, I'm not satisfied with everything, I just don't like to talk so much, because talking is a waste of my life. I don't look down on all the people who are alive, because I know I'm going to die. But I will still do the burdens that fall on my shoulders, not for anyone who is alive, but because it is the right thing, and doing these things is the way I exist. ”
The doctor didn't speak, Du Zhengyi bit his cigarette and continued to speak, looking more and more cynical, "That's okay, my friendship with no one is so deep that it will break their muscles and bones after I die." Although sometimes, when I meet one or two beautiful girls, I am willing to find an opportunity to walk with them for a while. But it's just a journey of peers, and it really won't go any further. ”
"No lovers, no friends, but there's a Roach, right?" Ma Jiang said.
"What can I do?" Du Zhengyi shook his head, "Luo Qi has neither skin nor face, and he doesn't know where he came from like a stray cat." Sometimes, I feel like people look at me like a dead person, probably because I ignore everyone like a dead person. But Roach, he's a man who can see ghosts, he's always haunting me, he's seeing me, he's always looking at me. ”
"Listening to you say that, even if I want to persuade you to give Roach to his father, it's unlikely, right?" Ma Jiang said.
"Roach has the right to use his innate talent, which is part of his existence." Du Zhengyi said gently.
But Ma Jiang knew him and knew that such gentleness was because he never doubted the decisions he made.
"That's how you care about existence." Ma Jiang said, but shook his head and said no more.
"Doctor, after I die, you finally don't have to run around with me, what are your plans then?" Du Zhengyi turned his head to look at him and said.
"When the time comes, I won't be working for Jonlin anymore. I'm going to find someone to marry, have children, and completely isolate myself from my old life. Ma Jiang said.
"It's a good choice."
"You haven't said yet, since you have already chosen a good life, it should be said that it is a way of survival, why did you suddenly regret it today?" Ma Jiang took a hard breath, as if he had finished the thin cigarette in a few strokes.
"I'm getting more and more worried about Roach." Du Zhengyi said honestly. Ma Jiang was almost amused by him, Du Zhengyi must not have imagined how honest he looked now.
But after a while, Ma Jiang came to his senses again, and Du Zhengyi was honest because he really had no choice.
Du Zhengyi looked at him and said honestly, "I suddenly realized at this time that I wanted someone to help Luo Qi behind me, and the only one I could find was you." ”
Ma Jiang's cheeks were stiff and sore, and he had to raise his hand to pinch his chin so that he didn't make any shameful expressions. Du Zhengyi was still waiting for him to answer in person, he avoided Du Zhengyi's gaze, "What do you worry about others, his father is such a powerful mage, can he still be really ruthless to his son?" ”
"According to Roach's will, help him through this." Du Zhengyi added his own words.
Ma Jiang has nothing to say, "Du Zhengyi, you said you"
Du Zhengyi looked at him, waiting for his answer, he knew that he had no choice.
"Okay, I promise you, okay?" Ma Jiang said helplessly, "You person, I'm not your friend, why did you come to beg me." And when it comes to this. ”
"Crying kids have candy? He cried too loudly. Du Zhengyi said, "I looked at him like that and thought, now I am going to lie down in the coffin." ”
"I don't think it's possible for you to admit that anyone is a friend in person, and there must be an obstacle for you." Ma Jiang smiled, lowered his head and said seriously, "But it's not the last moment, there is still hope." There are also often new breakthroughs in the Mind Mage Society, and I am always in touch with other mages. You haven't had any thoughts of survival all these years, and you've been running to your death all the way, and I've long hoped that you would have a thought in your heart that would stumble you. ”
Du Zhengyi didn't speak, Ma Jiang leaned against the tree and looked at the rare high clear sky on the top of the tree. "I know that it must be painful for someone who could have flown against the wind to let him walk on the ground, and many people would probably rather die than live like this. But you have to restrain yourself, stop fighting, and buy me a little time. ”
"I've decided to cooperate with Wen Lin, and I'll hand over the new clues you find, to her to investigate." Du Zhengyi said.
Ma Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "Can she be a friend?" What kind of person is she? ”
"She's an ambitious cousin." Du Zhengyi said calmly.
"Oh." Ma Jiang said, slightly stunned, but a little clear.
"I grew up in Qionglin, and I saw this kind of person the most in the power center of the mage, and I could smell it three streets away. But she may not be a bad person, she just wants to advance, maybe Fan Ya was still young and not good at concealment, and she was like this. Du Zhengyi said.
"Then it seems that I should have a friendship with her, with your help, she will be able to achieve great achievements in battle immediately, maybe she will be the future Venerable." Ma Jiang laughed, "You have to shoot early to have an effect." But you're being targeted by another vampire locust, always. ”
"It's a good thing that she wants to squeeze the good out of me, and she's going to do it hard if she's ambitious. In the current situation, I am really too passive and unable to do anything. Du Zhengyi said.
"I wish it was. Let's go, go back to dinner. Ma Jiang gained some confidence and his mood improved a lot, "But in order to fulfill my promise, I have to be strict with Luo Qi from today, and he won't want to sleep well from tonight." Can I physically punish him? ”
"Your apprentice, you can do it." Du Zhengyi smiled slightly, and said, "Doctor, thank you." ”
