It was getting dark, so Jiang Ruoxue took Gu Yu and me to a nearby building to rest.

Thanks to her, I actually got acquainted with the boy I met for the first time.

The three of us sat in the house together, and Gu Yu lit the bonfire with the flint and steel he had brought with him, and he said that he was a magician before coming here.

Jiang Ruoxue gave a brief introduction to the two of us, and she seemed to have some concerns, and did not say my identity as the "Extreme Dao King", only that I was an "Extreme Dao Person".

And the next sentence in her mouth made my jaw drop.

She said that Gu Yu was actually a traveler from another city.

I've been exposed to many identities in the "End Lands", and even been a "thief" myself, but I've never heard of "Traveler".

"So...... Is there a difference? I asked, "Here we are here and you are there." ”

"How can I say it......" Gu Yu slowly lowered his head, "The underlying logic is the same, but the form of expression is too different......

Gu Yu and I gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the "Jade City" where he was located, Jiang Ruoxue should have heard it a long time ago, and shook her head helplessly on the side.

I have to say that this is a situation that I never envisioned, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Once a person accidentally establishes the organization to a certain size, then others can only be forced to join, otherwise there will be no vitality at all, which will lead to the sick organization getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer normal people.

The organization of "Jade City" is like a contagious disease, and it is changing the "participants" there on a large scale.

"So what do you think?" I said, "Are you going to flee that city, or are you going to save it?" ”

"I ...... I don't know. Gu Yu slowly lowered his head, "I know my ability...... I'm just an actor who can be watched, but I'm not a wise man who can rule a city. But there are people who are important to me as well...... I've been wandering around for a long time, and if I don't go back to help them, I'm afraid something will go wrong. ”

"You don't even know what you're thinking?" I asked.

"Yes...... Sister Zhichun, my situation has been explained to you...... If it were you, what would you choose? ”

He threw the question at me, but I knew he was just trying to hear my advice.

"I'm sorry, but my suggestion doesn't seem to be of much use to you." I said, "I only love myself in this world, so I wouldn't be a hero and risk saving a city or something, it sounds ridiculous." I will only be alone, find a way to protect myself as soon as possible, and then extend a helping hand appropriately within the scope of my ability, I can save it, and if I can't save it, I can only say that I tried my best. ”

After listening to my words, Gu Yu slowly lowered his head, seemingly a little sad.

"Sister Xue...... What about you......? Gu Yu asked again, "Do you think so too?" ”

"Hmm......" Jiang Ruoxue pondered for a while and said, "Although I also love myself, my way is different from Zhichun. I think if you want to save people, you can save them, and if you want to stay, you can stay. After all, if you don't do what you think of, you will only have internal friction and waste your time. But the same ...... Even if you die there forever because of your decisions, you can't blame anyone. After all, you go because you want to go, and this is your "cause and effect". ”

Jiang Ruoxue and I gave two completely different paths, and no one knew how Gu Yu should choose.

He seemed to be very entangled in the first place, but after listening to Jiang Ruoxue's words and me, he became even more entangled.

In that case, let me help him.

"My suggestion is that you just change cities." I said, "Everybody knows there's no way to save it." ”

"...... a different city? It's easier said than done," Gu Yu shook ......his head, "Every time I go to another city, it takes a long time...... Once the people in my room find out and force me behind, I will never be able to leave. ”

Gu Yu shared information from other cities with us.

He said that in addition to the "Dao City" where we are located and the "Jade City" where he is located, there are two cities that have long been free of normal people, and there is another city that is now surviving.

Gu Yu had been in that city for a few years and had only recently come to us.

But the city known as the "Vortex City" sounds very similar to the "Jade City" where Gu Yu is located.

There is only one ruler in the huge city, and this ruler leads everyone to fight to the death with the "zodiac", and every time he steps into the game field, he directly starts the "gamble".

They believe that after gambling to death all the "zodiac signs", even if the "participants" win, this reincarnation has no meaning.

But...... Have they never known that the "zodiac" can appear in a steady stream?

I thought about it and quickly understood.

In "Vortex City", how can anyone wear a mask called "Zodiac"?

The city's "zodiac" is clearly a high-risk profession, facing great dangers every day, and they are tired of dealing with the influx of "participants" every day, and even want to escape.

In this case, will there be a "participant" who picks up the mask and puts it on his head, willing to become a "zodiac"?

It's like on the battlefield, when the two sides are fighting fiercely, and we are suppressing each other's firepower, a soldier suddenly chooses to put on the enemy's clothes.

Other words...... Whether it is "Vortex City" or "Jade City", everyone has caused different information gaps due to various coincidences.

The people of Vortex City don't even know that the "participants" will become the "zodiac" when they wear masks.

No...... If they had been in this situation for many years, they might be in a similar situation to the Jade City.

Even if the leader named Nie Bei had already found out the clue, he had no way to turn back.

After all, all the members of the organization are working in this direction, and gambling to kill all the "zodiac signs" is the only belief in the city, how can the leader at this time say "We were wrong all along, and those teammates died in vain"?

He doesn't want to, and won't acknowledge this reality.

The whole "Vortex City" is just an arrow that shoots out, and there is no turning back. Even if you know that there is an iron wall in front of you, you can only crash into it and break yourself.

Otherwise they have no way to give an account to anyone.

"You just said that Vortex City is now "dying"?" I asked again.

"Yes." Gu Yu nodded, "If you think about it carefully, you can know that the number of people in 'Vortex City' is decreasing every day, and this reincarnation and your teammates who share life and death may disappear in the next reincarnation." And the rest of the people will throw themselves into the game again in order to get revenge, forming a vicious circle...... It is estimated that it will not be long before the entire city will be left without any living people. ”

Wrong......

I don't think it's that simple.

If Nie Bei was really a person who could lead a city, he couldn't have thought of this.

He will definitely keep his hands in advance, even if the "Vortex City" is destroyed, there will definitely be someone who will live on behalf of the "Vortex City".
