Shu Zai's calmness was unusual, and Ikari, who was sitting across from him, knew that although he said that he could give him any orders, he was actually talking about his own life.
What else would someone like Ikari need Shuzai to do? Since he is not dealing with the master, the only thing left is his life. It can be seen that when Shuzai woke up, he had already
I figured out the key.
On the surface, Ikari remained calm, but she was still a little touched in her heart, especially when facing Shu Zai's lifeless eyes at this moment, this kind of touch became even more real.
Because Shu Zai's eyes at this moment were so close to Tang Bin's, the difference was that they were more indifferent and less gratified.
Shu Zai downplayed his own life and death, so his eyes were cold and indifferent. At that time, Tang Bin felt that his life was about to disappear and he also lost his vitality, but at the same time, he felt a little more relieved because Ikari was safe and sound.
Just because she thought of Tang Bin's eyes at that time, Ikari couldn't help but wake up a lot. She couldn't help but said: "Rescuing you is not to let you die, but to give you a chance to live."
An opportunity, an opportunity to choose oneself.
This opportunity may not matter to others, but to you, you have never had it since the day you were born, so what I give you today is such an opportunity."
The reason why Ikari suddenly woke up is that she didn't understand the true meaning of Zuo Feng's words until this moment. The so-called "moving with emotion" actually means "begetting emotion with emotion". Listen to
It was a bit confusing, but when Ikari felt it, she immediately understood everything.
Because of Tang Bin, Ikari has been under a lot of pressure recently and has accumulated too many emotions. Some emotions may require killing and fighting to vent, while some emotions need another way to vent.
.
Ikari didn't know if Zuo Feng had seen something, or if this was just a method he came up with based on what he saw. But it was hard for Ikari to imagine how a young man under twenty years old could possess such a delicate
state of mind and observation.
But what is certain is that when Ikari was touched by the other person's eyes, words that she had never thought about before naturally flowed out of her mouth, which seemed so natural.
In the eyes that were originally indifferent and lifeless, something like fire suddenly flashed away. Shu Zai's burly body trembled slightly and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice: "What... choice?"
Ikari said with an unchanged expression: "Before you woke up, you should have known that your injuries have recovered, and you are even several times more powerful than before. It can be said that saving you this time has made you stronger than before.
Much stronger, not to mention the cultivation you have now."
Shu Zai nodded without hesitation. On his simple face, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile of gratitude, but those who didn't know would think it was a strange twitch on his face.
Ikari didn't think it was funny, because Shuzai had just undergone physical transformation, which could even be said to be a kind of sublimation. Now even the movement of a muscle on the face would not necessarily obey his own command.
After lightly nodding and saying "You're welcome," Ikari continued: "Maybe I don't know much about you, but at least I know how you were made to look like that before, and I know better.
The pain in your body is far less than the pain in your heart."
This time Shu Zai's face was still a little twitching, but Ikari knew that he was not laughing, but that his words really touched the other person, making Shu Zai's face show a trace of twisted pain.
However, this change only lasted for an instant, and Shuzai soon returned to normal. He nodded quietly and motioned for Ikari to continue speaking.
"I believe that what touches you is not the betrayal of the people around you, but the abandonment of you by the entire family. Maybe you have been abandoned from the day you were born."
"You...what you said is very accurate!" Shu Zai said, the words were very difficult, but he was extremely firm. I don't know if it was because of the pain and entanglement in his heart, or because he recalled the painful experience before his death.
.
Ikari has continued: "The choice I have given you is to let you choose your future path now. No one will help you choose which path to take, and no one will tell you how to take the future path. Everything
It’s all up to you to choose.”
After hearing Ikari's words, Shu Zai seemed a little confused, but then there was a faint sparkle in his eyes, but his face was still as calm as ever.
Shuzai hesitated and said: "Can I understand that I can leave at any time if I want, and at the same time I can choose to follow you and follow your arrangements in the future."
Smiling slightly, Ikari blinked slightly and said: "Why, do you find it difficult to accept it, but the fact is what you said, sometimes the choice is actually that simple.
Leave here, leave the city, and the sea and sky are vast outside for you to explore. You will no longer have any surname to bear, and you will not have any protection. But now you at least have a cultivation level close to the late stage of Naqi, so it should not be considered starting from scratch.
"
Shu Zai's eyes have changed again, and the fire-like light in his eyes has become brighter than before. However, his face is still calm, and his eyes are looking at Ikari steadily, slowly.
Xu said: "Then why did you save me? I know that the things you need to save me are rare in the world. Are you doing this just so that I can choose freely?"
"I can't accept it, but what you just said is the truth, but you can't leave yet." Ikari replied.
Secretly "sighing", the light in Shu Zai's eyes dimmed a little, and he said slowly: "I know you still won't really let me leave, it doesn't matter, I..."
"You don't seem to understand what I mean. I'm not saying that you can't leave here, but that you can't leave Kuocheng for the time being. You should know something about the situation in Kuocheng. It's still difficult to leave the city at this time. Besides, those outside the city
It’s probably not something you can handle alone.”
Ikari's words made Shuzai stunned again. It was only at this moment that he gradually began to believe what the woman in front of him said.
"If you are really willing to let me leave, can you tell me your name? One day..."
Before Shuzai could finish speaking, Ikari smiled and waved her hand to interrupt, saying: "You still don't seem to understand. If you choose to leave, we will part ways. Even if we meet on another occasion in the future, we will fight each other with swords."
, you don’t need to have any scruples about today’s events.
Likewise, I will not tell you my identity or the situation of the forces behind me. I believe this reason does not require any further explanation from me."
After hearing this, Shu Zai's body trembled obviously, and the shock obviously came from his heart. If he only believed one or two points in Ikari's words before, now he believes at least seven or eight points.
The remaining two or three points cannot be believed. Judging from Shu Zai's experience over the years, some cannot accept that there is such a person or such a force in the world.
"Why... why?"
After a long while, Shu Zai spoke with some difficulty. He had been holding back this question for a long time, and in the end he knew that he had to ask it, and he couldn't help it.
With a gentle "exhalation", Ikari's expression was a little sad at this time, and the look in her eyes was also a little complicated. These were all revealed naturally, and she did not deliberately cover up or modify them.
Just at this time, Ikari's expression and appearance made Shuzai seem to read a lot of information, and Ikari had already said: "Maybe it's pity and sympathy. As a warrior, these two words are considered
It's a huge insult. But in the face of life, humiliation is nothing.
Perhaps people who have not experienced life and death are not qualified to discuss the value and meaning of life, and the way people who have experienced life and death will look at things is fundamentally different from ordinary people."
After a pause and looking up at Shuzai, Ikari continued: "Everything you experienced touched someone, so he made a special decision, or you are that special one, so special.
You still can't completely believe that what happened is the truth.
In other words, maybe it’s respect. It’s the respect that person has for your life and for you as a person. It doesn’t matter whether you can walk the same path as us or not. Only when you can freely choose for yourself can you do it.
That’s what it all really means.”
Ikari used "someone" and "him", and she clearly told Shuzai that there was someone else who really saved her. It was a kind of trust that although not much, was real.
.
Shuzai's feeling at this moment was very special. In that seemingly powerful family, everything he had never obtained before seemed to be realized by him at this moment.
Someone respects his own life, and that person maintains a trust in him. All of this seems to drop a huge boulder into Shuzai's dying heart. The waves stirred up make Shuzai feel the ups and downs in his heart for a long time.
It's hard to calm down.
However, Shuzai did not speak and regained his life. Everything he had experienced in the past twenty years had been completely destroyed. Now he needs to re-establish new beliefs in his heart before he can face it.
Make the "first time" choice in your own life.
At this time, Ikari suddenly spoke and said slowly: "Don't worry, you can just tell me when you think about it. I have something to go out."
The spiritual energy covered the room, and there was a slight fluctuation outside the building that he could not feel. At this time, when he heard Ikari's words, he just nodded blankly, and Ikari had already pushed the door open, leaving him alone in the room.
