The girl in white just stood quietly in the room, as if she had been there a long time ago.
Serena broke away from Shen Yi's embrace and looked at the girl in white in surprise, as if she was paying homage to a goddess, her eyes full of holiness.
She had an instinctive urge to kneel down, but Shen Yi held her back: "No, Serena, I don't care who she is, I won't allow you to surrender to her."
Serena's spirit was slightly shaken and she leaned into Shen Yi's arms again.
At this moment, it seemed as if Shen Yi was everything she believed in!
Shen Yi looked at the girl:
"Now we can talk."
"What do you want to talk about?" the girl asked.
The voice is sweet and gentle, with the gentleness and tenderness unique to a little girl.
"Talk about your motives." Shen Yi replied: "You dragged me into the vortex of a war without my permission. This war originally did not belong to me, or it was not accessible to me at this level. To be honest, I am not afraid of danger, but I hate this kind of decision and action that is not done by my own will."
"They brought you into this world without asking your opinion either."
"This is exactly why I don't like them. I originally thought you would be different from them, but you made the same choice as them and forcibly opened the war for me without my knowing anything. Door."
"I thought you would like this gift."
"Of course I like it, but I don't like the expensive price tag! Tell me how much do I have to pay for this? Will I be endlessly hunted by space managers from now on? The most terrible thing is whether I can still retain my life after this mission is over. my present?"
The girl was silent.
Shen Yi sneered: "I was right, right? She won't belong to me, she belongs to you. You just borrowed my hand to bring her out, you just need me to protect her, right?"
"You are a smart person." The girl in white acknowledged Shen Yi's guess in this way.
Anger welled up in Shen Yi's heart.
Serena, whom he tried so hard to protect, turned out not to belong to him in the end!
But he still snorted coldly: "Then it doesn't seem like Serena is a gift, because you didn't give her to me, but just lent her to me for a few days to watch, and I needed to pay an expensive rent... This Not a good deal!"
"I will make it up to you separately."
Shen Yi shook his head: "Then tell me first what exactly you plan to do with Serena!"
The girl quickly replied: "She is a key that can lift the cornerstone of the rules. I don't need to use her to do anything. Her existence itself is a kind of destruction...a violation of urban rules."
"And what's the result?"
"Rules are the basis of urban existence, and they are also the chains that restrict freedom in the world. They are also the endless door to free will. Every time a rule is broken, it is equivalent to prying off a brick in the building, or opening a path to freedom. door……"
Shen Yi somewhat understood: "Until one day the rule system established by Bloody City completely collapses... what will be the consequences?"
"Free will will be unleashed."
"Free will? What is that?"
"You are not powerful enough to access deeper secrets. If I tell you now, they will kill you by any means necessary."
"I thought I was on the Supreme Council's blacklist."
"Not yet. Although you did bring them some trouble, they still have expectations for you. Just like I have expectations for you."
"Have expectations for me?" Shen Yi pondered for a moment: "Why me? Because of the strength I have shown?"
The girl shook her head: "The reason why human beings dream of power is because they lack power. But there are some beings who are born with powerful power. For these beings, wisdom is what they dream of. Life always pursues what it cannot. The things you possess, strength is just one of its manifestations."
Shen Yi was thoughtful: "So, you are interested in my reasonably useful brain?"
"To be precise, it's your free thinking and endless imagination."
"What's the use?"
"At least here, it is the most useful." The girl in white replied. After a pause, she said, "Do you know what kind of ability is the most powerful?"
Shen Yi was stunned by her sudden question.
He lowered his head and thought for a while: "The ability to control time? Stop time? Reverse the flow of time? Predict the future?"
The girl shook her head.
"Then resurrect the dead and make life last forever?"
The girl still shook her head.
Shen Yi simply stopped guessing: "Then what did you say it was?"
The girl spoke: "Dreams come true... Wherever your mind touches, all your ideas become reality."
Shen Yi was stunned.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered what the girl in white had said to him under the ruins of the building.
"The reason why we choose to use worlds such as movies as the task world is indeed because there are ready-made templates, which greatly reduce the imagination required to recreate the world. But that is not because the painter lacks imagination, but because no one can create it in one day Designing four different independent worlds is like you can't write four scripts in one day."
"Compared to creating four independent worlds in one day, I think it is much easier to write four scripts in one day."
"That's not necessarily true. You can produce a hundred T800 Terminators in one day, but you can't design it in one day."
"Bloody City is not a factory."
"In a sense it is."
"..."
A dream come true!
Wherever your mind touches, all ideas are real!
————————————————
The free thoughts finally returned.
Shen Yi returned to reality.
At this moment he finally understood what the girl in white meant.
He said: "This is a space that can turn dreams into reality, with endless power... As long as you have the ability to think, you can keep imagining and turn this power into reality..."
The girl replied: "The premise is that the thoughts themselves cannot conflict."
"So set rules for these thoughts."
"That's where the original rules came from."
"These rules become iron laws, which avoid the occurrence of contradictions in thinking and make them comply with basic logical needs, but at the same time limit the unprincipled growth of power."
"So they are the cornerstone of the world and the shackles of the world."
"Just like the law, it restricts people and also protects them."
"That's true."
"But what you are doing now is to destroy the laws that build society?"
"Free will needs to be let go."
"Whose will?" Shen Yi asked sharply.
The girl didn't answer.
Shen Yi took a breath.
Although he knew a lot, he found that there was still more he didn't know.
Finally he said, "I guess that's not what a key can do."
"There are as many keys as there are rules."
"I guess it's not easy to get either."
"I have plenty of time to collect."
Shen Yi nodded and took Serena a few steps back: "So this is why you frequently go in and out of various worlds? You are looking for an agent. Just like space managers cannot directly intervene in the mission world, you can't directly intervene in the mission world. You cannot intervene directly. You can only do what you want through adventurers. You chose me to be your agent...or just one of them. Balsa is right, the devil is always good at using temptation. To make people voluntarily serve them, until finally betraying themselves completely. You want to subvert this world, so you use me, right?"
"Since you came to this world, you no longer belong to yourself. As you said, you belong to the city's puppet and can only obey the city's will and do things. From this aspect, there is nothing you can do. Betrayal...Why don't you understand it in another way? You are saving yourself."
"Saving yourself from the living to the dead?"
"The struggle for the cause of freedom itself requires bloodshed and sacrifice."
"It's your career, not mine. I have no interest in going against a world that can create endless power."
The girl replied: "You are not fighting against it, you are helping it get rid of its shackles."
"And what about the Supreme Council and the Administrators?"
"Slavers, invaders."
Shen Yi's eyes lit up.
He said: "It's so interesting. When I was in the wilderness, they told me that they created this world. But now you say that they are invaders? Who should I believe?"
"They are lying." the girl replied.
Shen Yi's expression changed.
It became extremely ugly.
He suddenly shook his head and took a few steps back.
"No, you are lying." he said.
The girl in white was stunned. The sudden expression of surprise on her always calm face made Shen Yi seem to have caught something. He said loudly:
"Bloody City was built entirely based on human needs. The universe may be infinite, and the mysteries may be infinite, but there is no world that is born for humans! Only life adapts to the environment, and there is no environment to adapt to life! So it is impossible Everything that exists without reason must have a creator! If the Supreme Council is not the creator, then who is?"
The girl in white didn't answer.
Shen Yi smiled: "Obviously you are not."
He suddenly took out the Vampire's Touch.
Pointing at the girl, Shen Yi said: "I don't like to be played with. You said that Serena was a gift you gave me, and I went through life and death for it. But now you want to take her away, which makes me very unhappy." Satisfied. Fortunately, at least now I still have the initiative in the matter. Maybe we should talk about how to prevent my woman from becoming a tool in your hands to deal with the city."
The girl replied: "I can compensate you."
"I gave up one million blood points for this, and will face many traps arranged by managers in the future, and will be hunted down by countless adventurers... What kind of compensation can exceed all this?"
The girl again didn't answer.
Shen Yi sneered: "Obviously, what you can give is not more than them. In a sense, I can understand it this way... The managers are the government troops, and you are the rebels. Although you can make the managers Those who have suffered a headache, but if you want to shake the foundation of the city, you are obviously still far away. A key can't solve your problem, but it can make me irreversible. So no matter what aspect you consider, I don't have to do it for your words. Make a commitment and put yourself in danger.”
After a slight pause, Shen Yi added: "Of course, I know that after this mission ends, you will definitely take Serena away, and I can't stop it, so I say I am lucky... at least now I still have The power to choose.”
He suddenly retrieved the dagger and pointed it at Serena.
The girl in white suddenly had a look of panic in her eyes.
This was the first time that Shen Yi firmly took the initiative in the communication with Shen Yi.
Shen Yi no longer looked at her, but looked at Serena affectionately, and said, "Do you love me?"
Serena looked at Shen Yi firmly: "Yes, dear."
"You won't be separated from me even if you die?"
"yes."
"So...are you willing to bet your life and fight for our happiness?"
"I am willing to die without any regrets!" Serena said in an extremely determined tone.
She knew what Shen Yi was going to do.
She didn't intend to refuse.
Let them use their lives to fight for a chance for themselves.
Shen Yi smiled.
This smile carries a hint of cruelty, a hint of helplessness, and a hint of determination.
