Zhou Lin - Chapter 230 Fate (Part 2)

The words were divided into two parts, when Zi Lin was confronting Uncle Xue, and on the other hand, in Ocean City.

Still on that rooftop.

Ziqi had already wiped out all the elite tribesmen in Yashan, and most of them had no corpses left. Only their leader Xia Houyan… had a whole body left.

Of course, that is only a whole corpse on the surface. If you cut it open and look at it, you will find that the brain, heart and lungs are all missing.

Huh… it’s more laborious than expected. Ziqi finished taking care of the enemies, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said to someone unknown, Are you here to support me? Thank you, but… it seems It’s no longer necessary.”

Just as he finished speaking, Jack walked out of a shadow.

Sorry, I’m not here to support you. Jack’s voice revealed a hint of helplessness.

Ziqi turned to look at the other party, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said: No way…

Yes. I don’t know what Jack was answering, but his next sentence was, I’m here to kill you.

So… Ziqi continued, You and Uncle Xue are in the same group?

Zilin handed over the Book of Heart to you before the duel with Nakanwo. You will know if you take a look at it, Jack replied.

I never look at your thoughts because I trust you. Ziqi continued.

But we weren’t chosen by you at all. Jack said.

I trust my brother, so the person my brother chooses is the person I am willing to trust. Ziqi said, Of course…my brother also told me that Uncle Xue may be detrimental to him in the near future, and It’s possible to recruit one or two people from within the Anti-Cross to help, but I didn’t expect… that you would be one of them.”

Then have you read your brother’s heart? Jack asked again.

I… Ziqi hesitated for a second, …looked at it.

Then what are you going to do? Jack asked again.

Huh… Ziqi let out another breath, I don’t have to do anything specifically, right?

In other words, you support him. Jack said.

Emotionally speaking, he is my brother; rationally speaking, I also think his judgment is correct. Ziqi said, His method is good for him, for me, and for the world. The only thing is that he is my brother. The regret is that… a small number of people have to be sacrificed. He paused, and then said, Among them, not to mention the people on the outside of the reverse cross, but on the inside… there are Che Wuchen, Lao Laing, Drifter, Xue Uncle, Doctor… At the moment, I have to count you.

Well… Jack nodded, Okay. He paused for half a second and then continued, Before we fight to the death, can I ask you a few questions first?

You can ask. Ziqi responded without hesitation.

Are you so distrustful of the world? Are you so sure that they will repeat the same mistakes they made more than two hundred years ago…not knowing how to learn or change, and bringing you decades of turmoil and suffering again? You can’t give them A chance to prove yourself instead of rushing to make the decision for them? Jack asked.

“Heh…” Ziqi smiled, “Yes, we just don’t believe them, that’s how we decided.

As a person who has transcended the ‘mediocrity’ and a inheritor who has witnessed the end of ‘Qian Ming’, you should understand us more easily than others…

Whether it is Qian Ming, tea banquet, empire, federation…the size, title and form of these organizations or regimes are actually not important.

“The greatest heroes will eventually die, and the most precious qualities will eventually be forgotten; no matter how noble an idea is, it can be distorted, and no matter how outstanding an achievement is, it can be forgotten.

Time will eventually push the Fifth Kingdom into reincarnation again and again. Having illusions about human nature is the real poison to the world.

The history of mankind is a history of unrepentant struggle. The longest and most profound sufferings that the world has ever experienced are all caused by internal struggles. Regardless of kings, sages, or institutional rules, those who can calm troubled times must be The hegemony of showing it with reason and regulating it with strength; and the benevolence… seems beautiful, but in fact it just adds a false boundary and a set of moral shackles on the basis of hegemony, and in the end it is the opposite. Bringing more suffering to people.”

Okay. Jack did not argue with him, but continued to ask, Let me ask you again, do you think the sacrifices Zilin made in order to achieve his own goals…or ideals, were worth it?

Ziqi shook his head and said slowly: In my opinion, this question is of the same nature as ‘Why not eat minced meat’; only people like you who have lived in a free and relaxed environment will go Think or discuss.

My brother and I have been tools from the moment we were born. We have no sense of morality, and it’s not even certain whether we have humanity…

So, this kind of ‘humanity torture’ is meaningless to us… We don’t care at all, or we can’t look at your so-called ‘whether it’s worth it’ from the same perspective as you. Of course, if you insist Get an answer that makes you feel comfortable, then I can answer you – ‘It’s worth it’.

Whether you ask me or my brother about this, the answer will not be different.

We don’t have any regrets about what we did. We just do what we have to do, the so-called cold and cruel things that people don’t want to do, because…someone has to do it.

Jack was silent for a moment after hearing this.

After a moment, he spoke again: Assuming that everything unfolds according to your plan, do you really think you can successfully hide the truth and deceive the world in exchange for a stable and prosperous age? Just with your face that looks exactly like Zi Lin’s , are you really sure that you won’t leave any holes or attract suspicion?”

As long as Lilia’s ability works normally, the world will never remember my brother’s appearance, nor will they know his whereabouts. Ziqi replied, As for my face… If necessary, I can do that. It doesn’t matter if you change it. He spread his arms and said frankly, I can even transform myself into a black man or a woman… You have to understand that deceiving the world is the natural responsibility of the ruler, and towards the people In other words, it’s more about the values ​​and ideas I stand for than who I really am.”

His answer was already logical and self-consistent, and there was nothing left to argue with.

In other words, no matter how others argue, it will not change his opinion.

So, Jack said: Then I have one last question… At this moment, his eyes changed, and a huge murderous aura bloomed, covering an area of ​​tens of meters in radius, What if I killed you today and ruined Zi Lin’s plan. Do you think Zi Lin can find someone to replace you? Or…does he have any backup plans next?

When Ziqi heard this, his expression changed, but he still replied truthfully: There should be no one who can replace me. Even if someone has the ability to be a ‘king’, they can’t understand what my brother means like me. .So…he should let Uncle Xue go back in time, back to before I was killed, and try to prevent the situation you mentioned from happening.

What if Uncle Xue dies? Jack asked again, For example… he died on the other side of the world almost at the same time that I started to kill you.

Ha… Hearing this, Ziqi smiled bitterly, I see, is this your plan?

Yes. Jack said.

Then my brother can still find Meng Zhenhan and revive me. Ziqi added.

Not to mention whether he can still command Meng Yuanhan now, even if he can… Jack continued, If I kill you, I send your soul directly to a place ‘far, far away’ Go, Meng Zhenhan is afraid that there is nothing he can do.

As soon as these words came out, Ziqi immediately realized something.

So… you have ‘understood’ your own abilities. Ziqi continued.

That’s right. Jack said, And you should also know that as long as you can ‘completely understand’ my ‘superdimensional exile’, you can reach the mad level immediately.

So what? Ziqi said, In the face of the ‘quantum revolution’, how sure are you of winning?

If it’s against the full version, then naturally I don’t even have a 10% chance of winning. Jack replied in a calm tone without even thinking about it, But, if it’s against the Quantum Revolution that has lost some of its ‘characteristics’ …”

At this moment, Ziqi felt a dangerous aura.

He suddenly discovered that under the cover of the murderous aura of the God of Death, there was another person’s aura, and at some point, he had approached behind him.

Snapped–

Just when Ziqi was about to turn around, a hand patted his back.

The owner of that hand is named Solid Wilson, AKA – Veteran.

Having already agreed on a strategy with Jack, he used the pretext of going to the city to support Shadow Weaver to break away from the previous four-man team, and then quietly met Jack in the city and set off together.

When Jack attracted Ziqi’s attention, Solid concealed his aura and climbed up to the rooftop from the outer layer of the building with his bare hands.

At this moment, in the only flaw that Ziqi revealed, which was less than one-twentieth of a second, Solid successfully touched the opponent with his hand and activated his ability – Mortal Bones.

Although Solid has worked hard to learn a lot of quantum physics knowledge in the past six months while working as a bodyguard at Sakura Mansion, he certainly still cannot fully understand the quantum revolution.

However, with his current knowledge, it was enough to make Ziqi lose part of his characteristics.

You… Ziqi wanted to speak.

However, time, at this moment, stopped.

Ziqi, like his brother, is supposed to be unaffected by time stop; even when faced with time back, at least their memories can be preserved.

But at this moment, because his superpower lost part of its characteristics, he was also stopped by Time Stop; although Ziqi’s consciousness was still functioning, his body could no longer move.

He was not one to sit still and immediately began to use his remaining abilities to attack Solid.

Ziqi once used this trick against Ash Latifah, the ghost under Juizun; at that time, Ziqi was still playing the role of the mysterious Mr. Mirror. He only needed one breath to use it. The ability to turn anyone who comes into contact with his body into dust along with his clothes.

However, due to the impact of time stopping, his ability did not work immediately.

In the end, it was Jack who took the lead. He came to him with a flash step and put his palms on his shoulders: Maybe your brothers’ ideas are right, but I am still a mortal after all. All I can do is Have a clear conscience and do your best…

Buzz——

Ziqi failed to respond to Jack’s words. With a burst of light and a strange sound of molecular acceleration, Ziqi disappeared on the spot.

The moment before he disappeared, his eyes did not show any fear or anger, but only a little regret and a little sadness.

Time flows again.

It’s too late to say it, but it’s soon! Solid, who had regained the ability to move, couldn’t help but suddenly reached out with his left hand and pulled out the saber from his waist. With a quick, accurate and ruthless movement, he slashed the bicep of his right arm with the saber, cutting it off cleanly. cut his right arm.

And his right arm turned into dust in mid-air almost as soon as it separated from his body.

cut……

During the whole process, Solid didn’t even hum. Until he finished cutting off his right arm, he just spat, and then he took out a bottle of freezing treatment spray from his belt with an expressionless face, and sprayed his The section of the wound that was bleeding was sealed.

What are you going to do next? Two seconds later, Solid asked Jack casually while taking out the bandage, If you still want to kill Zilin, I can’t help you. Otherwise, why don’t you ask Daozhang Meng?

No need… Jack started to light a cigarette for himself, Uh–Now that things have happened, Zilin doesn’t have much choice anymore.

…………

A minute ago, Northern Europe was still on that lonely mountain.

Seeing Uncle Xue turn into dust and disperse before his eyes, instead of showing a relaxed expression, Zi Lin’s face was full of surprise and confusion.

What he didn’t understand was: Why did Uncle Xue die without even a single backtracking?

As far as Zi Lin knows, one of the characteristics of Uncle Xue’s ability is to passively rewind time at the moment of his death. In other words, even if someone wants to assassinate Uncle Xue while he is sleeping, he will be killed when the gun rings. Causes time regression.

Therefore, according to Zi Lin’s original estimate, if Uncle Xue seriously confronts him, the final result should be that Uncle Xue exhausts his lifespan and dies from countless retracements.

However, just now, Uncle Xue rushed towards him and died immediately under the quantum revolution.

The only explanation for this situation is… Uncle Xue is actively seeking death, and he uses his own consciousness to stop the activation of his abilities.

No…why did he… Various assumptions and deductions flashed through Zilin’s mind, and then he quickly thought of the worst possibility.

Could it be! Just when Zilin couldn’t help but say this.

He felt…time stopped.
