Chapter 71 Sacrifice
Author: Genuine Li Ye
"Why are you here?" Qian Li frowned and looked at Chu Zihang distractedly, with disapproval on his face.
Chu Zihang approached her: "Are you prepared to sacrifice yourself to protect us?"
"Ah?" Qian Li's eyes were dull: "No."
Chu Zihang was also stunned.
Could he be mistaken?
"There is no need for me to seek death." Qian Li blinked: "I haven't lived enough yet."
"Then why did you come here by yourself?" Chu Zihang asked.
Qianli was silent for a moment.
How should she tell the people in front of her that she came back this time because she just couldn't find what she was looking for. She originally wanted to wait until Deadpool was blown away by those explosives and see if she could blow up the secret room as well. Look for it.
here.
After all, Genji Heavy Industries is so big, the most secretive things must be hidden on this floor.
The opponent's method of isolating perception was very high, so she had no way of knowing the exact location, so she had to try her luck.
She wanted to talk but stopped talking and wanted to.
never mind……
I probably have nothing to do with that thing.
"Go back." Qian Li said.
However, before she finished speaking, she noticed from the corner of her eye that the snake man who was knocked down behind them did not completely lose his mobility. Instead, he stood up from the fire scene, raised the long knife with both hands, and pointed at Chu.
Zihang was chopped off from behind.
"Be careful!" Qian Li's expression changed, and he grabbed Chu Zihang and changed places with him without even thinking.
Chu Zihang felt that the surroundings were silent, and the picture in front of him slowed down hundreds of times, playing frame by frame in his field of vision.
The girl's long hair was flying in the air, and behind her was the blazing sky and the earth. The firelight distorted everything, leaving her gradually clear in front of her eyes. Her raised eyebrows, red shadows blurred at the corners of her eyes, her skin as white as snow, she looked beautiful.
A scene that appears in a dream.
The long knife hanging above her head struck down in the air with the force of destroying the sky.
He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but the gunpowder that had been arranged was completely detonated at this moment.
The invisible shock wave rolled up the huge fire and pushed them outward.
Chu Zihang carried Qian Li and flew out.
The loud noise of the explosion left only the roar in his mind, and his mind went blank. His only thought was to hold her tight.
Hug Qianli tight.
Purpose, identity, nothing else matters anymore, as long as she can live safely.
"Why did it detonate in advance?!" Caesar yelled.
Yuan Zhisheng was also stunned.
According to their estimates, it would take at least another two minutes for the bomb to explode.
"What are you doing?!" He grabbed Caesar who was about to rush into the fire.
"Go find them!" Caesar shook him off.
"It's useless." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head and pointed to the open elevator door: "We don't know when the remaining bombs will detonate again. We have to protect ourselves first."
"I won't die, so remember, if something happens to me one day, all you have to do is leave the place regardless of the consequences, and I will go find you. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Only if you are alive can those sacrifices be made
"It's valuable", this is what Qianli once said to him.
"You are the young master of the Eight Sheqi Family and the future emperor. No matter when, the first option is to protect yourself so that you can protect others. Let the people below do the work of dying. When they join,
We are ready to sacrifice for our ultimate goal at a moment’s notice.” This is what Tachibana Masato taught him.
This is what he has always done.
Caesar stared at Yuan Zhisheng in disbelief: "What the hell are you talking about?"
This is ridiculous, isn't it? A high-ranking emperor, a leader who has always been in the top position, can actually abandon his friends and say such heartless and spineless words.
In this critical moment, what you have to do is not to live and die with your partners, but to survive on your own.
Just like the disgusting and slimy snake rat in the novel.
Yuan Zhisheng said nothing and just looked at Caesar.
Caesar grabbed his collar and pressed it against the wall fiercely: "Listen fucking well, don't even think about getting in the elevator and escaping by yourself. If my friends die, I guarantee you won't survive, no matter what.
Are you a great emperor or a tortoise? No, you are a rat in the sewer."
Yuan Zhisheng, who was already extremely weak, was so excited by the impact that he almost coughed out his lungs. He repeated with difficulty whether he wanted to convince himself or Caesar: "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. You are the team leader.
The long-term task is to preserve the survival of the team to the greatest extent.”
"What is a meaningless sacrifice? I only know that I can't just watch my partners die!" Caesar said every word: "I am not the team leader, I am a righteous partner. Never leave friends behind, they are mine.
Justice, I live for my justice and I will die for my justice!”
As he spoke, he untied the colorful knot around his waist and tied up Yuan Zhisheng, to prevent him from taking the opportunity to control the elevator and leave.
"You're really insulting these things." He looked at the colorful threads.
This was what Xia Qingfeng gave him, and it was the only time he saw a certain emotion called grief in the other person's eyes.
"This is a custom on the distant ancient Chinese battlefield, called 'returning knot'." Xia Qingfeng explained to him: "When the soldiers were preparing to go to the battlefield, everyone took a thread from their clothes to tie the knot.
The children are tied to each other, and those who survive must take Luozi to visit the relatives of their comrades. I give this to you, so if one day I die, you will be responsible for taking Luozi and telling my family."
For the first time, little Caesar held the string with both hands and tied it around his waist: "Where is your home?"
"I don't have a home, so you can't die." Xia Qingfeng looked serious.
Little Caesar: "..."
He has been wearing this on his body for so many years, but he has never tried to find Xia Qingfeng.
In his opinion, that kind of fool should live a long life without any heart.
"I can't stand myself no longer being righteous. If anyone else betrays justice, I will be the first to kill him."
After Caesar finished speaking, he rushed into the fire like an arrow from the string.
A righteous...partner?
Yuan Zhisheng looked at his unyielding back and sneered.
He was laughing at himself.
There was a time when he wanted to be a partner of justice, but he failed to persist and became the person he least wanted to be.
Shameless, selfish, evasive, retreating, even attacking those closest to you.
Just for the illusory righteousness and ultimate goal.
This kind of self made him feel funny.
Caesar was right, he was neither an emperor nor a tortoise, he was a mouse, a walking corpse, and a pile of mud.
All these years, the invisible and intangible ultimate goal has been supporting this body, and he is a puppet imprisoned by the body, a thing that is neither human nor ghost.
But what to do? Just when he completely accepted himself like this, his light came back.
Still so bright and clean.
Pure and clear without a trace of impurities.
He couldn't lose the light anymore.
Yuan Zhisheng stood up, and the broken bones reunited.
Finally... after the transformation, Yuanyuan can happily heal!
Chapter completed!
