Before the collapse of civilization, kiss Mebius at the beginning

The reason for the battle is…”

Xu Ziling had taught Mei this morning to be prepared for the collapse of the people around her; but this afternoon, Xu Ziling was chased and hacked by Jingliu, asking him the reason for the battle…

This scene was somewhat ironic, and Xu Ziling couldn't help but laugh at himself. After pulling out the ice sword stuck in his shoulder, he stood up while repairing his body.

Jingliu was still waiting for his answer.

Xu Ziling sighed after thinking for a while.

To be honest, if it was before, Xu Ziling would probably say without hesitation, "Fight for all the good in the world."

However, after traveling across time and spending some time with Mobius, Xu Ziling realized that some things are always more important than others.

Fight for all the beauty in the world?

Bullshit, the life and death of strangers is none of my business.

"I only fight for the beauty around me, Miss Jingliu."

Facing the almost invincible figure under the moon, Xu Ziling gave such an answer.

Yes... Putting aside his sometimes crazy and sometimes not crazy characteristics, to some extent, Xu Ziling actually lives up to his current face of a slut.

For example, he is just as selfish as him.

"Excuse me, Miss Jingliu, my ability is really limited. I can't do the important task of protecting the world."

After waving to Jingliu, Xu Ziling's expression returned to calmness.

"Take a step back, even if I do have the ability to save the world...wouldn't it be good for me to use this power to do something else? If I use it to help the doctor with experiments, the doctor will at least give me a 'reward'; if I use it to save all mankind, will mankind...thank their savior?

You can say that I am indifferent, that I have no morals...Facts have proved that you are right. I do not have lofty morals. Fighting for all the beauty in the world...that is too far away and too ethereal.

The doctor rescued me from the underground and provided me with food, clothing and shelter. There may be some use of this. factors, but I will never deny the doctor's care and concern for me... Compared with the great goal of saving the world, the beauty around me is so real, so real that it is worth the reason for me to fight...

As for those who are far away from me, those who are not familiar to me... Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me, I will only fight for the beauty around me. This is the 'answer' I can give you, Miss Jingliu. "

"Fight only for the beauty around me... Hehehe... Hehehe... Hahaha! You still can't understand! ! "

Jingliu laughed again, and her bright red eyes reflected the resentful and painful memories. She raised the giant sword in her hand again and sneered,

"Didn't I make it clear enough? ! Grass, the arrival of 'disaster' is indiscriminate! Use your ...... When the existence called 'Honkai' chooses your beloved, it wants to turn the thing you long to protect into a Herrscher and burn it! What's the point of your fighting only for the beauty around you? ! ! ! "

"Our results may be meaningless, but our existence is definitely not meaningless! The meaning is not given by the ending, but is forged by everything we experience in the process of 'reaching the ending'!"

Rarely, Xu Ziling interrupted Jing Liu's words, and the cold wind whistled past. He put his hands behind his back. The broken hair and broken body have been repaired at this moment. He said,

"If 'Honkai' really chooses the doctor as the Herrscher in the end, then I will accompany her all the time before that day comes. If the doctor is in the end If she chooses to let go, I will leave with her; if the doctor still has some reluctance in the end, I will rush to the tree of imaginary numbers to rewrite history! Regardless of whether the ending is successful or not, we have at least practiced our own path with our own will, and our "existence" is definitely not intentional!"

"But you will perish in the "disaster"! Your beloved will also be played by the "disaster"!"

Large pieces of ice slag condensed around Jing Liu's body, and she retorted loudly,

"What you call "existence is definitely not intentional" is nothing more than your self-satisfied mental fantasy! The world will not change because of your personal will, the arrival of the "disaster" is inevitable, and everyone will die in the end!!!"

"Not necessarily!"

The cold wind blew Xu Ziling's clothes and hair, and he thought of the person who was with him now.

This human dregs with a very similar face waved his hand and said, "Miss Jingliu, you have been emphasizing the so-called "disaster" and have been saying that the arrival of "disaster" cannot be defied. In your opinion, this may be the care forged by your personal experience... But in my opinion, if you can't even face the "disaster", how can you protect the beauty?!

Once, the man with the same face as me rushed to the tree of imaginary numbers for the love in his heart, rewritten the existence, and made all imperfections perfect... Now, for the doctor, why can't I do the same thing? That man has proved that the so-called "disaster" is not impossible to face! Epiphyllum is delicate and fragile, but Epiphyllum also has the courage to face fear and bloom in the dark!

I don't know why you are so concerned about "disaster" This incident has such a deep obsession, but I know that if you do n’t face the ‘disaster’, it will only be ‘disaster’! Escape exist! ""! "" You ... no! The color is clear, but all transformed into a painful and dangerous red. Intersection "Useless explanations are always useless explanations!! You have never experienced real pain, you have never experienced real disasters... Today!! I will use this body as a 'disaster' to let you understand what is real despair!!! I will use this moonlight... to shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The terrifying sword energy like a falling moon came from the sky. Xu Ziling looked up and saw that the full moon that had always been hanging in the sky had been blocked by a black sun at some point.

With this knife, no matter how much Xu Ziling boasted, he would definitely die.

In an instant, Xu Ziling's thoughts flew, and he inexplicably felt a sense of exhaustion. In the end, Jing Liu still used herself as a "disaster" and brought her "punishment" to Xu Ziling.

As long as he could defeat her, would the so-called disaster be considered defeated?

Now she is a disaster. She refuses to answer questions and cannot listen to any words. As long as Xu Ziling cannot beat her, it will be a dead end. The Mirror Flow of the First World will also operate and output like a robot program.

And Xu Ziling cannot beat Mirror Flow. Even if the energy level gap is averaged by the system, there is still an insurmountable gap between him and Mirror Flow.

The ending seems to be unsolvable.

Perhaps I can only wait until my strength is improved and come back to challenge Mirror Flow again.

That man has laid the groundwork for 500 years to realize his plan, while Xu Ziling can only say that it is a sudden change when facing Mirror Flow. The gap between them is huge.

However... Xu Ziling also has something that that man does not have.

Alas, it's a pity. I originally planned to save this thing for the end.

System, you should provide lottery repair service here... right?

Thinking of this, Xu Ziling, who was about to be illuminated by Wanchuan, silently took out a pink and blue lottery ticket from his arms.

"?!"

After seeing the lottery ticket, Jing Liu's crazy eyes suddenly paused. He wanted to stop, but it was too late.

Xu Ziling showed a relieved smile, as if he had seen an old friend. He threw the lottery ticket in his hand into Jing Liu's attack range and said with a smile,

"External force... is also a way to face fear. No one stipulates that you must go on the field alone... um? Don't you think so? Miss Jing Liu."

"Hua La!!!!!!"

All the sounds of Xu Ziling were buried in the extreme cold of the Wanchuan River,

And at the same moment.

[Kacha~!... Bang!! Galaxy Lotto has been destroyed! Lotto kill line triggered! Deprive the tearer "Chao Yue·Jing Liu" of 99% of his current health! ! ]

"Puff!"

Jing Liu, who triggered the lottery kill mechanism, vomited blood. At the same time, his expression changed drastically, and his body's strength and life were all gone in less than a breath.

In a short time, she shrank to an extremely weak level.

She had already looked like a madman, but now she fell on the ice in a mess. She wanted to rely on the giant sword in her hand to support herself to stand up, but before she could stand firmly, the giant sword in her hand broke with a bang, like a real ice crystal, breaking into countless ice chips in her palm. And she fell to the ground again.

"Um... Puff!..."

Another mouthful of blood was spit out, and the pain and indifference in Jingliu's eyes gradually faded. Under the killing of the God of Concepts, Galaxy Lotto, she was forcibly wiped out 99% of her health bar. At the same time, her madness and obsession seemed to slowly subside under the influence of this dying body.

"Heh... Heh..."

Xu Ziling did not speak. For a while, the only sound left in this bitter cold land was Jingliu's difficult breathing.

"Alas."

Seeing this, Xu Ziling sighed slightly, then came to Jingliu, half-knelt down, stretched out his hand and said,

"What should I say... Miss Jingliu, as you can see, 'disaster' is not impossible to break. It's just that sometimes... you don't have to push yourself so hard, occasionally with the help of external objects, or the power of friends, to find a way to face the 'disaster' together, is the right solution.

People who blindly take all the responsibilities on themselves and want to save everyone by themselves... such people are either born to become gods, or lonely lunatics... Miss Jingliu, you should not be the latter."

"Cough... cough... hehe..."

Jingliu, who fell to the ground, looked at Xu Ziling who stretched out his right hand to her, her bright red eyes were a little absent-minded, and then she still rudely slapped Xu Ziling's hand and said,

"Hehe... you said I should With the help of friends... But I... can't protect them at all... There's no point in saying more, successor. Since you have defeated me, leave here... Or do you want to do something else to me? Hehe..."

Hearing this, Xu Ziling seemed to be thinking about something, and then slowly stood up, with one hand behind his back, and patted Jingliu's shoulder with the other hand, and said:

"Miss Jingliu, if you say so, then I won't be sleepy."

"?"

Hearing this, Jingliu's face changed slightly. Just as Yu Yu was about to say something, Xu Ziling laughed before her,

"Haha~ Don't panic, I'm kidding... I just look like that scum of the world, but it doesn't mean that I really am scum of the world. It's just a personal joke, don't take it too seriously."

"..."

Jingliu fell into silence again. The woman with blonde hair in front of her seemed to be able to accurately hit her speechless point every time she spoke.

However, after Jingliu waited for a long time, she found that her strength still could not be restored. The blonde woman in front of her also had no intention of leaving. She couldn't help but frowned and said, "Successor, I have already lost. Since you don't want to attack me again, what are you still doing here?" Xu Ziling shrugged, picked up his broken lottery ticket and put it away, and said bluntly: "Actually, there is nothing else, Miss Jingliu, I just want to do my best to correct your thinking." "Heh..." Jingliu snorted coldly, said nothing, and ignored Xu Ziling. He posed on the spot and tried to recover from his injuries. "Don't always look so cold, Miss Jingliu. As the saying goes, there is no friendship without fighting. I think we should be considered friends."

Xu Ziling waved his hand and said,

"Then, as a friend, I will take over the topic you just mentioned... You said that you can't protect anyone, even the one you love the most, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Jingliu's body trembled slightly twice, and he didn't say anything.

"Although this is what you said... but Miss Jingliu, I am actually quite curious."

Xu Ziling stretched out a finger and tapped his temple, saying,

"You have a powerful force that does not belong to anyone. If you really want to protect someone... is there anyone in this world that you can't protect?"

"I can't protect her."

Jingliu said without hesitation, then paused and added,

"If I choose to protect her... millions of people in my hometown will die. This... is also her choice..."

"That's it?"

Xu Ziling shrugged and said,

"Since the girl you are looking forward to has made her own choice and has reached an ending that she will not regret, then what else do you have to be sad about? She has fulfilled her will, so shouldn't you be happy for her? Isn't it?"

"...

"

Hearing Xu Ziling's words that added fuel to the fire, Jingliu now had an impulse. She really wanted to chop the guy in front of her into pieces with a knife... But unfortunately, she couldn't do it.

"Ha."

Seeing this, Xu Ziling chuckled, came to Jingliu again and half squatted, stretched out his hand to her and said,

"The reason why you are angry, the reason why you are... Find the reason, is because you are no different from me, you are also a selfish ghost, a selfish ghost who wants to tie all the good things around you to yourself."

"..."

"And the difference between me and you is that I don't have your so-called moral feelings. I only know that what I want to protect is mine. No matter who, for any reason, don't think of hurting it. "

"... You are too naive. "

Jingliu couldn't help it, and retorted,

"Have you never thought that if you do something wrong to protect her, how many people will spit on you? How many people will hate you? How many people will die because of your wrong action to protect one person? "

"Ha~ Do you think I care about the opinions of strangers?"

Xu Ziling laughed immediately, and then said,

"Miss Jingliu, you are just hesitating, you are just confused... You don't know who you should choose when your best friend and countless humans are on the same scale. I can't make a choice for you, but I can tell you my answer... The life and death of strangers, what do I care about?

Miss Jingliu, I have proved to you that in the face of "disaster", we are not powerless. If we use every bit of power around us, we may not be unable to reach the end with our own will.

Now, it's your turn to prove it to me... I don't ask much of you. I just hope that when you go back, you can think about it carefully. Is the life of millions of strangers more important, or the life of the person you love most important..."

[Ding~! "Simulated Universe·First World: Liuyue Cold Wave" has been cleared. Please leave the simulated universe to collect the real reward!]

The system's voice sounded, Xu Ziling looked back at the light door that had been opened for him, and his eyes refocused on Jingliu in front of him, saying:

"Miss Jingliu, I should go now. I hope that the choice you made will not make you regret your choice today in the future..."

After that, Xu Ziling stood up and walked towards the light.

Before leaving, he paused, chuckled, and added:

"Ha, but I think that when you and I, as a 'selfish person', speculate on which is more important, love or civilization, our answers are already obvious... right? Miss Jingliu. ”

“…”

Xu Ziling left.

“Hu…”

And in this simulated universe, the biting cold wind still blew.

A black veil was blown by the wind and fell into Jingliu’s hands.

Looking at the black veil falling in his hand, Jingliu couldn’t help but think, if he really chose to ignore hundreds of millions of people at that time and chose to save her at all costs, then she…the fox girl who always liked to pull him to drink, talk and fight with him…wouldn’t she have to die?

What the selfless can’t predict is the determination of the selfish.

What the selfish can’t let go of is his own “selfishness”.

Under the moonlight of the simulated universe, Jingliu silently clenched his fists.
