Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

But Genis shook his head:

"That's not the case, sister. I don't want to hurt Afu, let alone kill this child..."

As he spoke, Genis could not continue.Like Gurnis, Ymir also fell into silence after listening to his words.

The two of them didn't know that there was a gaze watching them from the shadows in the dark.

Chapter 52 Resistance

After a long silence, Ymir spoke again: "Gennis, you should know that you always need to choose when you are determined to do something."

"What do you have to do if you want to save Afu and your child in her belly? Go and pray to your master, for the sake of your victory in this damn show?"

"But I don't think your harsh and violent master will agree. He will only be angry and think that you have broken away from his control. Maybe he will let you kill Afu with your own hands."

"Or...run away?"

"Let's not talk about whether you can escape from Xi'an with Afu. Even if you escape outside, how will you survive with the brand of slave on your back?"

"The city lord likes to hunt wild folk. The tribes of wild folk that still exist today are probably in the deep forests, competing with wild beasts for food. They are in danger day and night."

"Besides, people are selfish, of course you can do this. What about other compatriots? Fighters like you can at most be flogged and can survive. But female slaves like Afu are afraid of death. It’s miserable.”

Listening to Ymir's words, Gurnis smiled bitterly.

"Sister, you are right, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have..."

"No, this is not your fault. Just blame the world. Blame fate for making us born in this bay and becoming slaves."

"Fate?" Genis sighed: "I didn't expect that such words would come out of your mouth, sister."

"I remember one time, just like now, I was seriously injured. At that time, I almost died. At that time, I wanted to give up. It was you who told me not to succumb to fate no matter what. I fought against it and managed to push through.”

"The same goes for the name 'Ymir'. For our masters, our name is just a convenient title. But this name has a special meaning for slaves."

"The last slave rebellion in Xi'an was initiated by a slave named Ymir."

Genis tried his best to open the swollen eye, stared at Ymir and said.

"A hundred years have passed, and many people have forgotten this story. But sister, you remember it and told it to me."

Ymir turned his head away calmly, not meeting Genis' eyes.

Then she sighed again.

"A slave a hundred years ago, Ymir led the slaves to resist the slave masters. For us, this story is indeed full of inspiration."

"But...Gnis, you should also know that this incident has not even been recorded by the nobles of Xi'an. Who Ymir is has not been recorded in the history books of Xi'an. That resistance was in The classics that record history are just one line that summarizes what happened in the past.”

"In the eyes of slave owners, the resistance of slaves is nothing at all. It is like a glimmer of light that can be extinguished and a weed that can be easily pulled up."

The soldiers of the Unsullied and the guests of Xi'an who have mastered extraordinary power, these powers firmly allow the order of Xi'an to continue, and firmly bind the slaves to this paper called 'civilization' and 'order', but in fact it is 'Slavery' in the web.

"Bringing fire to future generations, I think that's what Ymir thought when he started the rebellion."

"Even if the resistance is unsuccessful, it will still be a severe blow to the slave owners, and it will also light a way forward for future generations."

"It is great to light a fire with one's body...but after lighting the way forward, what it brings is not hope, but despair.

"You and I both know what the result of the resistance back then was. Even if such resistance was launched countless times, under the suppression of Xi'an's power, the result would be in vain."

"Hope... If I could see even a little bit of hope, I would be willing to turn into a moth chasing the fire."

"But, unfortunately...our resistance will not bring about any changes. It will only tell the latter that this is a bottomless abyss with no end in sight."

"No, sister..."

Gurnis closed his eyes and shook his head.

"After I found out that Afu was pregnant, I had a lot of feelings instantly."

"The joy of becoming a father, the possible consequences of such an affair... I thought about it a lot. Finally, I couldn't help but think about the meaning of the birth of life."

"Honestly, when I think about this, I feel depressed and even desperate. If the purpose of a new life coming into this world is just to become a slave to others and endure suffering, then what's the point."

"What is the meaning of living as a slave? I'm thinking... as far as I'm concerned, the meaning of living is not to fight to please the master."

"Fight...yes, the only thing I know how to do is fight. Instead of fighting to please the slave master, it is better to fight for myself."

"It is better to swing your fist at the slave master than to swing your fist at your own kind. Even if you die, at least this will prove the meaning of life."

"I know what you think, sister. If resistance does not produce some meaning, the death of the dead person will be in vain."

"But resistance itself is meaningful, even if it does not bring about any change in the outcome."

After Genis finished speaking, the two fell into wordless silence again.

In the end, it was Ymir who spoke first: "Go back first and have a good rest."

"As for Afu, no matter what choice you make, I will support you as much as possible."

"Gennis...you have grown up. You are right about some things. Resistance itself is meaningful. For example, Ymir a hundred years ago, even if he cannot bring light to those who come after him, at least he is still a human being. Instead of slaves dying.”

"In a sense, this is another kind of 'light'..."

Ymir looked at the land where Gnis had just picked wild flowers.

Gurness uprooted the wildflowers, but when spring came next year, the same flowers would still grow.

Ymir was in a trance.

Did Ymir's resistance a hundred years ago really have no impact on the world after her death?

When Ymir was silent, a voice suddenly sounded beside her and Genis.

"I hope... if this is all you lack, my Lord can give it to you."

This surprised both of them.

A tall figure wrapped in a black robe and wearing a bone mask came to the two of them.

Neither Gnis nor Ymir had the slightest idea when the mysterious figure arrived or how long it stayed here.

The black shadow said slowly in a hoarse voice:

"Xian, the White Stone City, for you, every road in this city leads to darkness. But outside the city, there is light that can illuminate and guide you."

Chapter 53 Hope

As soon as the black shadow finished speaking, Genis' fist came over.

The conversation he had with Ymir just now was treasonous and absolutely taboo in Xi'an.If it was revealed, he would definitely be executed as a warning to others.

Although he was seriously injured, this punch was still as fierce as a tiger, pushing the air and making a sound of breaking through the air.

The black shadow remained motionless in the face of this punch, neither dodging nor dodging.

When Genis's fist touched the opponent's black robe, it seemed to hit the air. There was no real feeling of hitting the human body. Instead, the injuries from the previous deadly fight caused his muscles and bones to cough up blood.

"You are very nice...your name is Gurnis, right."

The hem of the black shadow's robe slowly fluttered in the wind, but he still stood there, giving people an elusive feeling like a shadow.Coupled with the white facial bone mask that covers half of the face, it looks like a ghost that does not exist in the world.

His hoarse voice was slowly carried by the night wind to the ears of Genis, who was possessed by pain, and Ymir, who was supporting Genis with a tense expression.

"Your strength...physical quality has almost reached the limit of the ordinary human body. If there is a flower with secret medicine, it is estimated that the 'baptism' can be completed immediately."

"Who are you..."

Ymir asked, staring at the black shadow's bone mask.

"This question is quite stupid... Anyway, I am not from Xi'an. You should know this very well."

Hearing the black shadow's words, Ymir closed his mouth and seemed to be thinking.

Bai Mang laughed, and then looked at Genis:

"Gennis, put away your hostility. As a fighter who is good at fighting, you should have realized just now that even if you are not injured, you will not be my opponent."

"If I had wanted to take action, I would have been dead while you were still talking."

After saying these words, Bai Mian stopped talking and waited quietly, seemingly giving the two of them space to recover and think.

After a while, Ymir spoke softly:

"What did you mean by what you said before?"

"Literally...you need hope, and I have that here."

"If you want to get rid of the enslavement of this so-called 'order' and break away from your destiny, I can also help you."

"The premise is that you still have the courage to fight against fate, the courage to resist, and the belief that you are not willing to be enslaved."

“What is the essence of help, and what do we need to pay?”

"You are not from Xi'an, and your words show that your position is opposite to Xi'an. Unless it is a bad idea, there is no reason for you to suddenly appear and say these things to us."

Ymir spoke very quickly.

"Not only are you not from Xi'an, you are also unlikely to be from Blackstone and Bloodstone City, because they have no reason to target Xi'an, so they start with slaves."

"You said 'your side'...it means you are not alone, and you are very powerful. At least like the city lord's guards, you have experienced the rumored 'baptism'. You should be from a certain force. .”

"On Slaver's Bay, there is only one company that can compete with the Three Stone City, the healing city of Yharnam. There are many 'hunters' there. So you are a hunter from Yharnam?"

"Oh?"

Bai Mang was a little surprised that Ymir made such a logical inference so quickly.

But it is normal to think about it a little bit. At least, it is impossible for a slave who has completely succumbed to fate, like a pool of stagnant water with only a numb body left, to have such a conversation with Genis.

"You will know the essence of the help when the time comes. At least, you will see hope then."

"As for the price you have to pay...order."

Seeing the changing expressions of Ymir and Genis, Bai Mang said again:

"Don't get me wrong, order is not as narrow as Xi'an's so-called 'order'. Order is a protective shell for ordinary people, not a cage of oppression."

"You may have doubts about my words now...but you will know it when you see it with your own eyes."

"For now, you just have to keep things going...wait and hope."

After saying these words, Baimai stepped into the shadows. When Ymir stepped forward to investigate, Baimai could no longer be seen.

Only footsteps and voices were heard in the distance, and other slaves were coming.

Ymir and Genis looked at each other, and the different expressions on their faces proved that it was not an illusion.

"Sister..." Genis said softly.

Ymir shook his head and his expression returned to normal:

"I know you have a lot to say, but don't say anything here yet."

The previous conversation was heard, which made Ymir break into a cold sweat.

.........

Bai Mang left the city lord's palace and returned to his own mansion.

After being welcomed by the slaves of the mansion, they walked into the bedroom. No one noticed that in the shadow of the candlelight, there was a shadow that disappeared into the shadow of Bai Mao.

[Secret Book of Hidden Knowledge] allowed Baimao to learn about the contact between the newly differentiated personality and the two slaves.

Gurnis is not simple, he has certain talents, and the female slave named Ymir is even more special.

He will be able to learn the specific information about the two slaves in detail tomorrow.

Today's harvest is quite big. At least, the slave group, which accounts for the vast majority of Xi'an's population, is not just a piece of stagnant water, but there is living water underneath.

hope...

What Baimeng's personality clone said to Ymir and Gnis before was not deception or lies.

He had full confidence in those words.Because, for him, the light that guides him is also his hope.

Thinking of this, Bai Mang closed her eyes and immersed herself in the sea of ​​memories of 90 personalities.

"Master Kazama, the information collected today..."

..........

Time came to the next day, at Pasa Mansion, Deimos, played by Bai Mang, came here again.
