Chapter 40: Leo's Choice
Leo was very disgusted by Vicky's talk about fate, and immediately sneered: "Is it fate again, it's not very interesting." ”
Vicky could see that Leo didn't know what Star Orbit was, and if he didn't come up with something more powerful, he wouldn't be able to really impress the other party just by virtue of his Star Spirit identity.
With this thought, his voice became ethereal: "That's not the case, since you've heard of the Star Spirit, you should also know some of our special abilities, such as foresight. ”
"I did hear about it. Leo narrowed his eyes slightly, "But that's just a legend, do you really have this ability?"
"A qiē legend cannot be unfounded. Vicky did not answer directly, and his changed appearance gradually returned to his human form, and continued: "I really don't have this ability now, and the few people I have left have lost this ability. ”
Hearing such an answer, Leo smiled slightly: "Just want to talk to me about this?"
"No, of course not! I'll tell you first how this ability to foresee comes from. Vicky suddenly showed a stern expression: "Star Rail, the greatest creation of our Star Spirit, is also one of the few relics that have been preserved. ”
"According to the theory of creation, when the supreme creator created the universe, the fate of the microcosm and macrocosm of existence has already been written. ”
"And we, the star spirits, according to this theory, bypassed the rules of the universe, invented the star track, and connected the consciousness of all races into it, in order to clear the fog of fate and peek into a glimmer of the future from the star track, in fact, you can also see it as a super prophetic alchemy device. ”
"Initially, they did succeed and foresaw many things happening, but as the magic of prophecy spreads, more and more people are eager to see a clearer future......"
Hear here. Leo interjected thoughtfully, "And then disaster happened?"
"Yes, it is natural for many people to want to change the future, but the future has not happened at all, and they talk about change? "In the end, after countless years, too many and too many futures were foreseen, and the star track was unscrupulously abused, until one day, the Supreme Governor saw our future from the star track - self-destruction. ”
"That's ...... like this" Leo couldn't imagine how far the Astral Spirit's civilization had developed. But it still inevitably went into decline.
"Since then, the Star Track has been sealed indefinitely, but this has not saved my people, but has only made the situation worse. Vicky's voice was painful, and although he didn't really witness that moment, the memories he got from his blood still made him feel like he was there.
After a pause, he obviously adjusted his emotions and continued: "But even if the star track is sealed. But after all, it is connected to the consciousness of the people, including me. Although I can't foresee anything with it anymore, I can see something very special, such as ...... You!"
"Me?" Leo said with a confused look on his face. In fact, there are many waves in my heart.
If what the wiki says is true, then it is indeed impossible for him to be in the star trail as a traverser...... But these are too incredible.
Wiki affirmed: "Yes. It's you! Your destiny is not in the star track! You shouldn't belong to this universe!"
He ...... Know I'm a traverser?......" Hearing such obvious words, Leo immediately thought about it, and even had the idea of killing it. He carefully watched as Viki's expression changed. But he didn't see any surprise, as if his situation was normal.
With such a discovery, Leo decided to test it again: "You're making me more and more confused. What the hell is going on?"
"You also know that the fate of human beings may seem uncertain, but if you use some ritual and magic, you can also predict what may happen. After all, fate is like a shackle, and some things, no matter what you do, can't be avoided, which is also the basis for the star track and prophecy magic to work, although it is very limited, but it does exist. "But the fate of some people is naturally chaotic and unpredictable, and they are also the biggest variable in this world, full of countless times more possibilities than normal people, and they are called - exterminators in my race." ”
"I didn't see that I was a traverser. Leo let out a secret sigh and asked, "You think I'm that kind of person?"
Vicky looked at Leo, "I'm not entirely sure yet, because I can only get a little bit of content from the star track." But as things stand, there's a good chance you're the Destroyer. ”
Leo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Even if I am what you call the Exterminator, what does it mean, and why did you find me?"
"I worked for a powerful legendary mage, and of course I learned a little bit of magic from him. Vicky smiled, "This time, the plan of action was also formulated by him." Of course, you are not in his plans. ”
Leo understood what he meant, and also smiled: "But in your plan?"
Vicky shook his head and said, "Actually, I've been paying attention to you since I saw you. I don't have any specific plans, though, and it seems that fate has brought us together on the road. ”
Leo didn't respond immediately, but touched his chin and analyzed the authenticity of the other party's statement.
It can be seen from the star phase shown on the wiki just now that he is indeed a star spirit race, there is no doubt about this, but the so-called star track ...... Leo still couldn't accept it, but he also understood that there was really no need for the other party to make up such a story, just to lure himself and him into the underground, did he have any other plans?
Thinking of this, Leo said, "But I'm just an insignificant guy now, what do you want me to do for you?"
Vicky said with a firm face: "People like you and me are destined to be ordinary. It's your destiny and it's mine!"
Hearing that the other party didn't answer the question directly, Leo pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, I don't like your kind of roundabout character, and besides, I also hate fate." ”
"That's the way we race, it's the influence of blood, and I can't do anything about it. Viki smiled wryly, "Also, I hate fate too, but we have to accept its existence." ”
Leo hummed noncommittally and asked, "But how do you know that we won't be enemies?"
Vicky thought about it very seriously, nodded and said: "There is indeed such a possibility, but you must know that no one can foresee their own future, not even the future of the people around them, it is impossible to foresee, this is an unavoidable law of the universe." So I don't know anything about my path, which is one of the reasons why I came to you, Exterminator, our future is full of endless possibilities, this is the law of history!"
Leo was a little surprised, "You say, there are other exterminators in history?"
"Yes, not much, but there are indeed zài, and almost every single one of them, has left behind a prestigious reputation. It's just that humans don't know that they are the destroyers. I don't know if it was influenced by Leo's words, but this time the wiki finally didn't go around the corner.
Hearing him say this, Leo not only began to wonder if these so-called exterminators were actually the same time-travelers as himself?
Vicky, of course, didn't know what Leo was thinking, and said loudly: "Listen, I can guarantee that this matter will be of unimaginable benefit to you and me!"
Being so confused by him, Leo also put aside his messy thoughts and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I'm a star spirit, and I always know something that others don't know. I don't know what's in it, but it's worth checking out. Vicky smiled smirkedly again, "You're so cautious, don't you want to see an ancient ruin that has never been discovered? Now it's time to make a decision, my friend. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Leo deeply, turned around, and slowly walked into the corridor.
Leo didn't immediately follow, but stood still, quietly thinking.
Fate, he once believed that people could not escape the mercy of fate, and that heaven or a dark hand in the underworld was pushing a qiē. But now, he no longer believes in any fate, and being able to come into this world and have an independent self-will is already the most merciless mockery of fate.
Yes, he wants to take fate by the throat and never become a pawn at the mercy of anything!
Perhaps, he is really what he said about the bad luck, after all, he really shouldn't be in this world.
And now, fate is intertwined into a huge web, enveloping everyone.
Isha, Teacher, John, Chubby, Montoya, Philip, Vanessa, Leo, all names flowed through his mind.
"Fate, then come, let me see what you really look like!" Leo looked at the entrance of the black hole, a smile of incomprehension on the corner of his mouth.
For better or for worse, he has made a choice.
............
Entering the passage, Leo found that it was not as dark as expected, but a hazy glow, not very strong, and he didn't even know where it came from, but it could make people see the surroundings clearly.
This underground passage is obviously artificially built, although it is very old, and many places have been eroded and dilapidated by the years, but some patterns and reliefs that appear faintly can still make people feel the glory of this place.
Looking at the intricate ornaments, Leo asked, "How does it look like a temple?"
"Hehe, good eyesight. Viki blinked, "If I'm not mistaken, this was once a temple." (To be continued......)
