mask……

Dongfang Ruo looked at him and vaguely felt that this man was also wearing a mask, a mask deliberately pretending to be confused.

"Are you saying that the 'Homecoming' plan seems to be a puzzle, but in fact many people have become part of it, and the roles they play on the stage are their true nature?"

He smiled noncommittally, and then asked: "Then you, why are you so persistent? Is it because you like Lin Sen, or because your consciousness is very high, and you must fulfill this promise?"

Dongfang Ruo was shocked when she heard this, and her face turned slightly red. She turned away and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you whether you like it or not? What's more, is this the time to talk about the love between children?"

He nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, now is indeed not the time to talk about the love between children, but do you think it is interesting?"

"What's interesting?"

"What I am saying is that many times, when we pay attention to the growth history of a hero, we often ignore the life and death of the innocent people who were stepped on by him. Just like us now, when we are discussing and exploring all this

, have you ever thought about the feelings of ordinary people who are kept in the dark?"

Dongfang Ruo was stunned by the question, but he didn't take it very seriously. He just said lightly: "Is it necessary?"

He was startled when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said: "Yes...is it necessary...this is where we should reflect most, isn't it?"

Dongfang Ruo felt that the Lin Sen in front of her was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and she said: "There may be something wrong with what I said, but we can't save everyone. You also know how powerful the central curtain is, and you also know that we have gone all the way.

We are still trapped in an almost infinite dead situation, and now you are still discussing with me whether or not you should care about the life and death of an ordinary person? Do you think it is necessary?"

The two rhetorical questions about "necessity" before and after have completely different meanings.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying: "You are right. This is too benevolent for women and too much for mothers-in-law. There are so many people in the world. What's the big deal if a few ordinary people die? But have you ever thought about it?

No, what if these people include those you care about?"

Dongfang Ruo felt even more speechless after hearing this. She said, "Don't you remember? If you don't remember, why would you choose that ring as a totem to remind me that this is not over yet? Huh?"

"

But he replied calmly: "That's the problem. I chose that ring not to stimulate you intentionally, but because I don't want you to forget that you are a human being while walking on this road like me."

fundamental.”

Dongfang Ruo was silent after hearing this.

Lin Sen stopped talking.

The two of them just sat next to the table and watched the sun set little by little, and then the sky turned dark until the stars were shining brightly.

After a long time, Dongfang Ruo looked at him and said, "Have you forgotten?"

He looked at the sky and smiled bitterly: "It's almost... I don't even remember why I embarked on such a path... Maybe I should have chosen to forget all this, be an ordinary person, and die in confusion.

, it’s over once and for all, at least that way I can still vaguely remember what this world was like when it was beautiful.”

After hearing this, Dongfang Ruo asked again: "Is this what you want to tell me? Is this the answer you want to give me in the end? Do you choose to give up?"

He frowned when he heard this, and then said: "Probably not. After all, what you see now is just the part of me that Lin Sen left behind. The real him is still on the way. I just don't know if he has found the part he wanted now."

The answer you want.”

Dongfang Ruo understood, but she suddenly felt that maybe the person in front of her was the real Lin Sen.

After putting on a mask, it is really not that easy to define whether it is hypocrisy or authenticity...

But in short... Dongfang Ruo felt extremely disappointed with the person in front of him, and at the same time... he felt very distressed...

'It seems that this is not the first time Lin Sen has done this...' Dongfang Ruo thought to herself, and then gradually calmed down. She thought about it carefully when she fell into silence just now. Maybe she should change her thinking. After all, before

Dongfang Ruo had never been exposed to a consciousness as complete as the person in front of him left by Lin Sen.

"Let's talk about your findings. Can we pause the previous topic?" Dongfang Ruo said.

He nodded and his expression relaxed a lot.

"Okay, then...heh...when it comes to discovery, I'm really a little confused right now."

"Hmm? A lot?"

He nodded seriously: "Yes, a lot."

"That's it... then pick a key point and only talk about it, okay? Don't be biased, and don't be too complicated!" Once Dongfang Ruo starts to calm down, everything will be nothing.

He thought for a while and then said: "Tsk, there are many important points, but there are a few things that must be said."

"Well, you go ahead and I'll listen carefully."

Hearing this, he turned around and faced Dongfang Ruo. After a slight hesitation, he asked, "Do you know how Wu Huan and I came together?"

Dongfang Ruo was startled when she heard this. She really didn't know this because Lin Sen had never mentioned it to her in detail. She only knew that the combination of Lin Sen and Wu Huan caused an impact. The only individual they formed later was called

For "Saiosh".

Therefore, Dongfang Ruo shook his head: "No."

"Then... this is a very important point." He became serious, then looked at Dongfang Ruo and said: "Actually, the combination between me and Wu Huan was caused by a certain degree of randomness, but in fact it was artificially conscious.

Promote.”

Dongfang Ruo looked confused: "What is intentional promotion involving randomness?"

Hearing this, Lin Sen pointed at himself and said: "I am the target who was chosen intentionally, and Wu Huan is the random one. The fact that we can combine cannot be considered a deliberate arrangement, but the matter itself is indeed secretly manipulated."

Dongfang Ruo understood a little bit and at the same time she grasped the key point.

"What do you mean by being secretly manipulated? Has someone been deliberately creating Sailosh?"

He nodded, and then said: "Yes, it's just that although this deliberateness was obvious at first, it was too obvious, so it made us forget the important point."

Dongfang Ruo: "..."

Seeing Dongfang Ruo's speechless expression, he immediately smiled: "Sorry, I made it complicated again. In fact, what I meant was that at first I thought that becoming Sailosh was just a choice of fate, but later I discovered that all this was not

That's not the case, but someone is doing this deliberately, but after successful creation appeared in me, they seemed to be wary of it, so they kept using a vague and uncertain 'hope' to confuse me, making me think that I

He is just a hero who has been transformed to possess great power and must shoulder responsibilities that complement his power."

Dongfang Ruo understood now, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "This routine sounds very familiar, is it Spider-Man?"

He also smiled: "Yes, although I can't spin silk and don't have an uncle, they do think so and do it."

"What happened next? How did you find out that you had been being used?" Dongfang Ruo asked.

He thought for a while and then smiled helplessly: "This aspect is a bit complicated, but I still feel that it was deliberately arranged to make me realize that I was being used."

Dongfang Ruo's expression was a bit strange when she heard this, and she said in a cold tone: "You don't suffer from persecution delusion, do you?"

But he shook his head and looked normal.

The weirdness on Dongfang Ruo's face did not disappear, and she said again: "No? Otherwise, who would be so boring and keep tormenting you?"

He laughed and said incomprehensibly: "This is the key point!"

"Huh?" Dongfang Ruo looked at his expression and suddenly understood.

"You mean, all this has something to do with the central curtain?"

He nodded and then shook his head.

Poor Dongfang Ruo was led back and forth. He just turned around and now he is lost again.

"Isn't that true?"

"Yes! But it's not that the central curtain is directly related to me, but that someone is using me to resist the central curtain. In other words, there is always some kind of force that is deliberately guiding us and helping us to resist the central curtain!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Dongfang Ruo and gave her some time to think and digest.

Dongfang Ruo listened carefully, but failed to grasp the key points immediately. She turned to ask: "Isn't this great? It's better to have helpers than to fight alone!"

But he shook his head slightly disappointedly and said: "But the premise of all this is that the central curtain is our enemy."

Dongfang Ruo still didn't understand: "Isn't it?"

He sighed: "Indeed, judging from all the current signs, the central curtain is like the wilderness we are in now. It provides you with enough living space, and it can even be said to be quite abundant, but it only limits

Your scope of freedom requires you to survive within a certain order and never go too far. What did we do after we realized and discovered the existence of the central curtain?"

If Dongfang didn't say anything, she was indeed a little confused now.

"We did not accept this reality with peace of mind, but were constantly urged to move forward by an inexplicable force, and then took up arms to resist, but what was the result? In the end, we lost, and we lost very completely, at least from what we can see now.

, no matter which plane or world, human beings are completely defeated! But one thing is, no matter how miserable our ending is, we are not extinct, and we even have the opportunity to start over. Don’t you think this is strange?

?"

Dongfang Ruo felt a little doubtful and shaken when he heard this, but...

"Is it weird? I don't think so. Instead, I think it is this kind of unrestricted repetition that is torture and insult to us humans. The central curtain is high, like gods, imprisoning humans in a narrow range, allowing us to continue to work together.

If you can't even see the real stars in the universe, isn't this considered an enemy?" Dongfang Ruo's point of view is also very clear and almost impeccable.

But he smiled faintly, and then asked: "Let's go back to the question I asked you at the beginning. Is this idea, this feeling of being insulted, really that important to ordinary people?"

Dongfang Ruo suddenly froze when she heard this, her pupils dilated and her breathing became rapid.

yes……

For ordinary people, does it really matter whether they are free or not, and whether they are controlled by the central veil?
