Chapter 900: No Destruction, No Construction

"Walked through it all...?" I hesitated.

"I will first find a "mask" and hide it in a secret place in "Daocheng", and then return to "Jade City" to fight to the death. "After Gu Yu finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "Sister Zhichun, you are right. I should try my best to lend a helping hand when I can protect myself. If I can, I will do my best. If I can't, I will try my best. "

"But have you thought about it?" Jiang Ruoxue asked again, "Zodiac may not be able to escape, it can only allow you to survive. "

"It's enough to survive." Gu Yu said, "If I don't act quickly...I'm afraid I will stay in the "interview room" forever. "

His eyes were extremely sad. I knew it was difficult for him to choose these two paths, but he had to choose.

If he decides to stay in "Jade City", there will be no chance at all.

"Sister Zhichun, some people in "Jade City" can't escape even if they want to. I'm already lucky. "Gu Yu smiled bitterly, "Just like you said... we will be destroyed one day. I hope that by then... our ruler can send "hope" to "Daocheng". "

"Send "Hope" to "Daocheng"...? I frowned and looked at Gu Yu, "What do you mean?" "

"There must be someone who carries the last hope of the entire city forward." Gu Yu said, "All of us have struggled here... Even those who have been brainwashed cannot deny that they have struggled here. So. I am not willing to let everyone disappear here...I want to ask for an explanation from above."

"But my suggestion is that you don't go back." I said, "I can't understand this kind of choice. You know that there are risks, but you insist on falling in. Gu Yu, you seem to be a smart person. If you think about it carefully, in this world Is there such an unreasonable choice?”

"No...Sister Zhichun..." Gu Yu sighed, "This is no longer a problem that can be solved by "common sense"... There are people in that city who have given me hope, and I can't just choose to give up on them..."

"So you want to change that city?" I asked.

"Yes." Gu Yu said, "Sister Zhichun, you just said that "unity" will be destroyed, so the first moment I go back, I will find a way to create some chaos. It would be better if I can directly overthrow the leader... so There may be a glimmer of hope in the split situation. "

"But that would be difficult."

"Yes...even if there is only one chance in ten million, I will go back and give it a try." Gu Yu replied, "Otherwise, I will become a "zodiac sign" and stand there forever and blame myself forever. I will always think "If I had gone back then, would everything have been different?" "

"Forget it..." I nodded sadly, and I finally understood.

Many times, from a rational perspective, it is difficult for me to understand that people in this world make all kinds of unreasonable choices.

But now I understand it all.

Even if all "rational" paths are in front of us, human beings may still be dominated by "emotion".

For example, I have always said that I only love myself in this world, but if Jiang Ruoxue is trapped in that city, I am afraid that even I will choose to give it a try.

I smiled bitterly: "Gu Yu, you are a good person. I hope to see you again one day."

"I hope so too." Gu Yu nodded, looked at me and then at Jiang Ruoxue, "Sister Xue, Sister Zhichun... Thank you for meeting you this time. I'm also very grateful to Brother Sun for chatting with me and Sister Zhou Zhou. The punches and kicks I received these days... this may be the best memory I have after coming to "The End". "

"Don't draw conclusions too early." I shook my head, "Your days in the End are far from over. "

"I know." Gu Yu smiled, "But it will never be better than this."

He walked slowly to us and picked up the plastic rose from beside me.

This old, faded fake flower made my heart sink.

It's just a magic trick...how high do people expect it to be?

It has done a lot beyond the scope of its responsibilities, and it has worked hard enough...

"I'm leaving."

Gu Yu tightened the buds of the rose with his hands, and then stuffed them into the black stick again.

I never thought that a flower that looks so beautiful would be squeezed into a small black stick in a small space for a long time.

It cannot see the light of day, it cannot bloom in color.

It struggled painfully within the iron wall.

When will it bloom again?

“Choose ‘Monkey’. "I said.

""monkey"……? "Gu Yu's hand holding the black stick paused slightly.

“All “zodiac signs” have characteristics. "I also stood up, looked into Gu Yu's eyes and said, "The characteristic of "Monkey" is "cheating". You are a magician, and you will have a greater chance of surviving if you choose "Monkey". "

"Okay..." Gu Yu nodded, "Thank you, Sister Zhichun..."

"Return to a city of despair, and finally nirvana becomes the "zodiac sign". "I looked at him helplessly, "It's exactly "If you don't break it, you can't build it." "

"What……?"

“Remember, “If you don’t break, you don’t build.” "I said to him, "Whether it's returning to "Jade City" or becoming a "Zodiac", I can't slack off on either path. I look forward to meeting you again. "

"Okay." Gu Yu seemed to have made up his mind after listening to my words, "I will remember it, Sister Zhichun, Sister Xue... If in the future, you see a strange monkey saying hello to you while walking on the road, I hope you can Say a few words to him."

"I will."

Although I said "I will", I couldn't feel happy.

Once Gu Yu really becomes a "monkey" and stands here, it means that "Jade City" has completely fallen, and all those important to him have disappeared.

He could only stand alone in "Daocheng".

Watching him turn and leave, Jiang Ruoxue and I looked at each other sadly.

"Hey!" Jiang Ruoxue was stunned for a moment and soon realized something was wrong. She shouted in the direction Gu Yu was leaving, "Gu Yu, this is not the direction to leave the city. You are going in the wrong direction."

"I know." Gu Yu turned around and said to Jiang Ruoxue, "I'm not going to go to "Wortex City" to find the "Zodiac" mask. I'm going to bet a monkey to death in "Daocheng". "

"What...?" I was slightly startled, "There is obviously a safer way, but you don't take it?"

"Well, it's too safe and not suitable for me." Gu Yu said, "The other party will cheat, and I will cheat too. I want to try how rich I am. If I can bet a "zodiac sign" to death, it will mean that I am His strength has at least reached "human level", which is more than enough to deal with ordinary "participants". "

"But you already know that the "Zodiac" was also a "participant" before, can you still kill him? "I asked again.

“This is the survival of the fittest. "Gu Yu said, "If I am stronger than him, then I will become a "monkey" for him. If he beats me in the bet of life, it can only mean that my ability ends here, and I will die without regrets. "

"You..." Jiang Ruoxue asked, "Do you need us to come with you?"

"No." Gu Yu shook his head, "Sister Xue, I'm not sure whether I can win, so you don't have to watch me die tragically. Just stay in the expectation of a possible reunion."

Gu Yu left that day.

I don't think he is that pitiful. After all, he is just one of the poor people who can be found everywhere in this "end of life".
