"The main force..." Solar still stared at the flames in front of him: "It would be more appropriate to say that it is the largest piece of firewood."

"You look depressed?"

"Of course, whoever thinks that he was born to be burned as a piece of firewood, and he has to stumble and strengthen himself during the period, making himself burn longer and more painful, can't he be happy?"

"You can choose not to burn it." Jiang Cheng also looked at the flames: "Especially now that you have a chat area, why stick to this doomed world, wouldn't it be nice to bring someone you care about to settle in another world? "

"Choose...yeah, choose..."

Solal smiled, but the smile was a little hoarse and ugly, and he looked up at the sky: "I want to choose too, I want to leave this world, I want to live a normal life in another world, instead of guarding this place wait to die..."

"Then why don't you go? With your strength and the kindness shown in the group, no matter which world you go to, you will be welcomed?"

"I know." Solar nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "But I can't go anymore."

"Can't leave?" Jiang Cheng turned his head and glanced at him: "If you want to leave, is there anyone who can stop you?"

Solal was silent for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"Then why don't you go? If you don't want to, bring the people you care about. With your strength, earn some points to exchange for partner cards. It won't be difficult to bring them to the new world."

"I've earned it." Solal shook his head: "I've saved a lot of points in previous missions, and there's nothing to spend except for mission cards and some odds and ends. The partner card will be redeemed for them later, and will be given to them before the flames go out."

"...how about you?"

"I..." Solal looked at the sun in the sky: "I will throw myself into the furnace after that, and give this world one last fire...it should be able to burn for a while, right?"

"...Is it necessary?" Jiang Cheng sighed: "I know that nothing will work, I can't do anything, and everything is futile, but I still want to do this..."

"It's pretty stupid." Solal took over the conversation, and smiled at himself: "Maybe it's because I'm not very smart, so I just do some stupid things."

Jiang Cheng didn't reply immediately this time. After being silent for a while, he looked at Solal and asked suddenly, "Are you going to be turned into a living corpse?"

Solal was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the iron helmet on his face. After confirming that his face was not exposed, he looked at Jiang Cheng curiously.

"I didn't take off my helmet...how did you see that?"

"It feels like you smell like a living corpse."

"...Can it still be like this?"

Solal sighed, and waved away the iron helmet formed by the condensed soul on his head, revealing a head that was almost the same as a living corpse, but unlike a living corpse, his eyes shone with brilliance .

Jiang Cheng glanced at his corpse-like face, then turned his eyes to the fire in front of him again, picked up a dead branch and threw it in: "I remember that you were normal when I was on a mission with you, And you don't look inhuman...how did you become like this?"

"This..." Solal scratched his cheek with his index finger, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's a bit ridiculous to say, it's because I lost my fighting spirit."

"Lose fighting spirit?"

"Well... how should I put it?" Solal thought for a while: "I worked so hard all the way to spread the fire and continue the world, but now I suddenly know that there are still large tracts of the world outside, and the flames are still continuing, and then Looking back on my experience over the years, I suddenly felt that it was meaningless..."

"Wouldn't it be nice to have more flames?"

"Yeah, it's a good thing, but..." Solal sighed: "Don't you think it's great? It's like a bright light suddenly came to a person who lived in a cave and got used to the darkness. ..sometimes it's not a good thing to hope too much...do you understand?"

Jiang Cheng nodded: "I understand."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's response, Solal nodded, lay back, faced the sky, and looked at the white clouds in the sky: "Then you should also be able to understand how people who have lived in the dark for a long time are afraid of strong light, because It will reveal all the nasty things you have never seen, those things that you have forgotten and neglected, and make you have to face those things..."

"I also yearn for the light, I also want to embrace the residual warmth of those flames, and I want to go to a bright place to live the life I want, but I can only think, but I dare not do that, because as long as I am exposed to the sun, Losing the meaning of existence, and having the time and space to think, those things that I brought out from the darkness will reach out from the grave, flow into my bone marrow, entangle my thinking, and crawl into my dreams inside..."

"If I go to another world like this, then the resurrection is inevitable, and with the power I have, once I become a corpse..."

Solar shrugged.

"It's going to be ugly."

Jiang Cheng glanced at his corpse-like head: "Ugly? Do you still care about this?"

"Of course I care." Solal pointed to his corpse-like head, "Otherwise what would I do with a helmet on?"

"Isn't it the defensive power?"

"Of course not. There is no difference between having or not having that defensive power. The main reason is to look good."

"Then I think you might as well put on the suit you used before called the Falan Undead Team, that looks better."

"That..." Solal shook his head: "I seldom use it after Hawkwood's death, because when I use it, I always think of those boys who like to dance street dance... They are all very good children, It's a pity that I was tricked into spreading fire in the end, and when I came back, my family was gone..."

"Why not?"

"It's the pollution of the abyss. A king blindly researched Jill in pursuit of power, and finally turned his attention to the abyss, which eventually led to the outbreak of pollution in the abyss... But those children suppressed the first outbreak of the abyss, and built a They built a fortress...but then someone tricked them into spreading the fire, saying that the abyss would disappear after spreading the fire, and they were quite naive, believing what others said, and foolishly ran to use it as firewood."

"Then?"

"Then as soon as they left the abyss, their suppression erupted, polluting their fortress and everything around them."

"...What a sad story."

"It's okay, this kind of story goes back and forth in this fucking world every day, so let's do it if you read too much." Solal looked at the sky and sighed: "In a word, don't have any hope, don't worry about it. Don't trust anyone, eating and waiting to die is the best choice for the undead, and whatever else you do will only make the situation worse, especially when you have hope..."

"What happened to hope?"

"It means that you are not far from being turned into a living corpse."

"Like you are now?"

"...More or less." Solal sighed again, and after a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Cheng suspiciously: "By the way, it seems that I have been talking about it all the time, and I haven't asked you to come and look for it. Is there something wrong with me?"
