575. No choice

Silver Sea. Above the West Mountain.

In a human villa, Tong Liya opened her eyes.

The things in front of me were still a little blurry, but a cup of freshly made coffee on the table was filled with lingering water vapor.

Looking out of the window from the bed, the villa was built next to the cliff. A big river winds from the valley into the distance. Outside the valley is an endless plain. Even if there is a faint mist in the valley, the silver sea in the distance is still shining in the sun.

The view here is excellent.

"Are you awake?" Li Xinyan sat next to her, took a pillow, helped Tong Liya up, and then placed the pillow under her.

Tong Liya looked at herself in surprise and touched her chest. If she remembered correctly, she was shot from the chest by n45's dark gun, but why did she not feel anything now? Could it be so soon?

"What? Are you looking at your wound? It's all healed. I've seen it every day. It's been twelve days until today, and it's been all healed two days ago." Li Xinyan went to serve the coffee and said nothing. Tong Liya blushed slightly, "Wouldn't she see everything?"

Li Xinyan was stunned for a moment and said, "I have seen it a long time ago, what's there?"

Tong Liya's eyebrows were slightly frowned, her face turned red again, and then she returned to calm. She looked out the window and sighed: "It seems that Yinhai was finally destroyed. I originally thought that he would be destroyed by the soldiers sent by the Holy City, but no matter how I thought about it, it was destroyed by civil strife!"

Li Xinyan brought the coffee to Tong Liya and smiled and said, "We have seen a lot of destruction, why can't you accept it?"

"I can't accept being destroyed by my own people." Tong Liya shook her head, "This kind of thing seems to be only human society for thousands of years. I didn't expect this to happen in the mechanical world. I know independent creatures, and for thousands of years, they have fought each other for their own selfish interests, survival, or resources, but things like mechanical world have never happened!"

"Oh?" Li Xinyan listened with interest, not objecting or questioning.

"By the way, what should I do in the end? Although these guys are hateful, they also have their own will, and it is not easy to form one. You..."

Li Xinyan handed the coffee to Tong Liya, and leaned against the wall in a comfortable position and looked out the window with a gentle expression: "I knew you would be soft-hearted. After you were unconscious, I did catch him, and in the end he chose to destroy himself, and no one could do it." Li Xinyan said the process very simply, and in fact he had a way to retain the consciousness of this guy. But as an enemy, Li Xinyan had no reason to retain its existence, because a proud soul, he would rather put the most vicious way on his opponent at the last moment. This behavior has determined that he would not bow to his opponent. Therefore, destruction is his best destination.

Tong Liya wanted to say something, but opened her mouth but only took a sip of coffee.

"I suddenly remembered Lin Zicong these two days." Li Xinyan changed the topic.

Tong Liya didn't answer.

"I suddenly remembered that he was not because he did anything to me, nor because some of his things had become part of me. I kept wondering why he chose to commit suicide in the end. Thinking about it, I suddenly understood. Whether it is human or mechanical life, their ideas are consistent in some places, such as Lin Zicong, choosing to die instead of surrender, for them, is to preserve his last dignity. As the number four figure in the dungeon base, he has devoted himself to fighting against the Mechanical City all his life, but at the same time he also likes Dr. Sun. Dr. Sun has changed his mechanical skeleton, and in fact he has betrayed the military headquarters and was captured by the leader of the mercenary group. He has no way to explain to the public, so he can only choose to commit suicide to face his last dignity."

"The situation facing n45 is similar. He knows that he only faces failure, and the result of failure is only captured by us. If his consciousness can escape, he probably won't choose to die, but he knows that he can't escape my means, so he has to choose to die."

Tong Liya took a deep breath.

"Actually, they don't know that this kind of choice is still a happy one for them. Think about myself, you see, I have not even had the right to choose freely. I have turned over the memories left in my body. I was captured by humans back then. I was a human body, controlled by humans and could not die. I was transformed into a mechanical life form by humans. I was rescued by humans and still could not die. I had no choice. Later, my body was not good, and the highest will did not care about my thoughts and transferred my consciousness to a new human body again. I still had no choice. If I knew that I was caught by Mechanical City and Lin Zicong and were converted into a mechanical life form at the beginning, I would really choose to jump off the cliff! Then, with Lin Zicong, I was destroyed by Leng Ling at the dungeon base. I really didn't expect that I would be resurrected after a few deaths..."

Li Xinyan smiled and said relaxedly, but helplessness filled his words.

Tong Liya looked up and suddenly said, "I..."

"I don't mean to blame you. I have never chosen to die from beginning to end. But at the same time, I have never chosen to live with or without dignity. I just said that they don't understand that there is a kind of person in this world who has neither dignity nor choice, but can only live helplessly. If they understand what I have experienced, perhaps they will know how happy their choice is."

Tong Liya's eyes suddenly blurred, and then two lines of clear tears were flowing down. There was a little water stain in Li Xinyan's eyes, and she still leaned against the wall and said lightly: "Hey, it's not actually accurate to say it's 'happiness'. I don't know how to evaluate them, so let them go."

Tong Liya raised her hand, Li Xinyan understood, walked to her, helped Tong Liya up and sat down. Tong Liya held Li Xinyan's cheeks with her hands, looked at his eyes and said, "I... Actually, I have a little selfish desire to resurrect you. The only motivation for me to survive is you. Before the highest will pass by me and see you, it was originally. After he saw you, you are still the motivation for me to survive. But I promise not to do so in the future. I know now that you like me, not the highest will, which is enough... I also want to tell you that you are the only one I have always liked."

Li Xinyan smiled, wiped Tong Liya's two lines of tears with his hands, and said with a smile: "I know. I know..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Liya covered his mouth and said, "Don't interrupt me. I haven't finished speaking yet. I mean, if I choose to leave one day, you don't want to resurrect me. OK?"

Li Xinyan didn't expect Tong Liya to say this, and was slightly surprised and hugged her in her arms: "You are a human body. There will always be a day when you leave. If that day comes, I will put down everything, sit on your grave, and stay there for a thousand years. I don't choose to die and not resurrect you, but nature makes the final decision, okay?"

Tong Liya also smiled: "Well. Then that's it. I hope my grave is in the Valley of Life. Ilena's valley is very beautiful. I hope my grave is full of green flowers."
