On the occasion of collapse

"You are still alive. You can work hard to suppress the core in your body. You can use your own will to prevent the birth of the Herrscher."

"If you die, you will really allow the Herrscher to be born."

Fu Ling's tone was gentle and calm, but Bai Zhi could feel Fu Ling's hidden anger from this calmness.

"I know words alone can't make you feel anything, but Bai Zhi, you have to know that not all Herrschers are evil, and it's not that no one has defeated Honkai's consciousness and dominated the Herrscher's power."

"So, I'll prove it to you."

Standing up, Fu Ling slowly walked out.

"Follow me." Poria turned her head and said calmly to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi, who had not yet come to her senses, covered her cheeks, turned her head blankly to look at Fu Ling, and subconsciously stood up to follow Fu Ling.

........

"Da da da...."

Footsteps one after another sounded in the passage. Bai Zhi looked at this passage that she had never seen before and blinked.

"This is the laboratory I specially hid. No one knows how to enter here except me. Even Alicia, I haven't told her." Perhaps seeing Bai Zhi's doubts, Fuling said lightly, as if She didn't care that her secret was discovered by Bai Zhi.

"I'm telling you because I believe you won't tell them." Glancing at Bai Zhi, Fuling believed that Bai Zhi didn't have the guts.

"Beep!" After passing through an unknown number of doors, Fu Ling opened the last door in front of her with her pupils and looked back at Bai Zhi.

"come in."

Following Fuling's lead into the laboratory, Bai Zhi was a little shocked when she looked at this personal laboratory that was not inferior to Otto at all, and even vaguely caught up with him.

"Stop looking and sit down." Walking to the sofa on the side, Fu Ling sat down and leaned lazily on the back of the sofa.

"Oh." Bai Zhi, who had just been slapped, behaved obediently and didn't dare to look around.

In all these years, she has never been slapped in the mouth by Poria cocos.

This is the first time today...

I'm a little confused...

"Come on, let's talk. Are you so afraid of becoming a Herrscher?" Poria said slowly as she looked at Bai Zhi who had done her job obediently.

"...Isn't it normal to hate the Herrscher?" She said weakly. The psychological shadow that the slap just brought to Bai Zhi was obviously not small at all.

"That's right. It's normal for normal people to hate the Law Master and even hate the Law Master." Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Poria Cocos did not refute.

Because this is indeed the case. In people's eyes, the Herrscher is the culprit who caused them to lose their homes and relatives, so there is nothing wrong with hating, hating, and hating the Herrscher.

"The Herrschers deserve to die, they should all go to hell, all the Herrschers should be wiped out and so on... If I had experienced all this before, maybe I would have thought so too." murmured, Fu Ling He looked up at the ceiling of the laboratory and sighed.

"Bai Zhi, how many Herrschers have appeared in the outside world?" She said slowly, it had been a while since the last time someone entered the paradise, and Fuling was not sure whether other Herrschers had appeared.

"The Fourth Herrscher..." She answered Fuling's question truthfully. Bai Zhi didn't understand why Fuling asked this question.

"He's the fourth Herrscher..." Poria raised her head and let out a long breath.

"You have seen the information left by the previous civilization, and you should know that there are fourteen Herrschers in total, right?"

"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded, now she didn't dare to move or say another word.

"That's good, then you should also know, No. 13 Herrscher, right?" At this point, Poria turned her head, and her eyes that were originally looking at the ceiling turned to look at Bai Zhi.

"Um....."

"A blank sheet of paper, right?"

"Um....."

Listening to Bai Zhi's answer, a smile appeared at the corner of Poria's mouth.

"Yeah, it's really like what the fraudster said. She will make Herrist No. 13 a blank piece of paper to deceive the world." She let out a long breath, and Fu Ling smiled wantonly, very Relax.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? To be honest, I can't tell, because to me, this thing is both good and bad."

Holding the armrests of the sofa with both hands, Fu Ling slowly stood up and walked to a pillar in the center of the laboratory.

On top, there is an exquisitely crafted necklace.

"I originally thought I would never touch this thing again in my life, but I didn't expect that I would touch it again because of you, a little girl." Opening the glass cover that protected the necklace, Fuling picked up the necklace and gently Rubbing the pink crystal in the middle.

"Bai Zhi, I can understand why you hate Herrscher and hate Herrscher, but I want you to know."

"Whether it's what Alicia said or someone else said it."

Poria's words clearly impressed Bai Zhi's ears, but what he said made her feel incredible.

"The Herrscher who fights for mankind, she really exists."

"Right next to me, it really exists..."

Chapter 841 A girl named Poria, the only proof of existence

"Zizzi...ta." As something was put down, the originally dark image was reflected on the screen.

A girl walked into the picture from the side, and Bai Zhi could tell that this was Poria.

In other words, it is the Poria cocos of the past.

"..." The girl in the picture looks very tired, without a trace of vigor and vitality that she should have at this age. She is as lifeless as a dying old man.

Bai Zhi turned back to look at Poria, who was leaning on the sofa and staring at the ceiling, but found that she didn't look this way at all. It was obvious that she had no intention of watching this video again.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl in the picture spoke.

"When you see this image, it proves that you are ready to accept the cruel truth." Poria in the picture said slowly, and Bai Zhi could not see any expression on her face.

"To be honest, I have hesitated to tell you everything. Because you are different from me. You still have Alicia by your side, and you will not encounter accidents. However, the paradise has its mission. If that day If it comes, can you bear it?" Fu Ling's tone was indifferent, but her eyes were not looking at the camera at all, but were naturally distracted, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"It's not that I don't believe in you, it's that I don't believe in myself. I know how weak I am and how important Alicia is to me. Therefore, I also know that losing Alicia means to you, to me, It means something to us.”

"She is not a part of our lives, she is everything to us." Slowly speaking, Fuling finally turned her attention to the camera.

"You should have noticed it, right? Why did I leave the paradise in a hurry that day? Yes...you guessed it right, it's just what you thought. Besides her, who else can make me panic."

"But I really didn't expect that she would really do this, that she would really abandon me for the future of mankind." At this point, a wry smile appeared on Fuling's face, as if she was disappointed with fate. mocking.

"You know, this is the first time in my short life that I have tasted the feeling of being abandoned. It doesn't feel good at all. This feeling is really painful, so painful. Yesterday, she promised me that she would give me a baby today. reply."

"But the answer I waited for... was too late."

"Can you imagine? Her body lost its temperature little by little in my arms, and she became so light. That day was the only time she put on makeup. She said before that she would leave her first makeup on when I got married. time. But she broke the promise. She said before that she would stay with me forever and not change for 100 years, but she broke the promise again." Fu Ling gently raised her hand, as if she was holding her in her arms. Wearing nothing.

But in reality, there is nothing there...

"Tell me, is she a big liar? She promised to stay with me forever, but she broke the promise. Is she just a bad, bad, big liar?" Fuling's voice was choked, but Bai Zhi couldn't see a single tear on her face.

Just as she said, her tears had long since flowed away.

A dry river cannot flow out water, and tears that have been shed will not fall again.

"Actually, what I understand, what I have always understood, is that she has always loved everyone, and she has always loved everyone. Even though her love for me is special, in the end, this special love is more important than her love for mankind. She is too small to stop her from sacrificing herself for humanity." Fuling's tone was not calm, and even trembled.

"I know all this and understand it. However, I really want to ask her, before she made this decision, did she hesitate? Did she hesitate for even a second for me?"

"Even for a second or a thought, did she ever think that I would be sad?"

Bai Zhi could clearly see that when she said this, Poria's lips trembled slightly and her face lost all color.

Undoing the scars wasn't easy for her.

"Maybe it doesn't matter, but to me, it's really important, it's important."

After saying this, Fu Ling fell silent. She leaned on her seat and raised her hands to cover her eyes.

Bai Zhi didn't know if she shed tears or if she still couldn't shed a single tear.

Poria in the image stopped talking, and the entire laboratory fell into silence for a moment.

"...I'm sorry, I said too much inadvertently." After a long time, Poria in the image slowly put down her hand and took a deep breath, as if to calm her mood. .

"Actually, I originally just needed to digitize the memory and store it in the necklace. But... I feel that I need to say something."

"Because not long after, we will face the final test, the Herrscher of the End." Poria said slowly, looking much calmer now.

"I can actually leave, but...if I lose her, where else can I go? I have no home anymore." Her voice was calm, and to Bai Zhi's ears, it was even scary.

"Just...just let's make a break with everything in the past."

"I know that I am different, and I also know that I have something special. But... I am certain that I will die on the moon, and the person who survives will no longer be Alicia. Xiao Ling." Her eyelids were slightly lowered, and Fu Ling spoke slowly, as if she was very sure that this was going to happen.

"So, this video, rather than a complaint, should be more like...my suicide note..."

Suicide note....

These two words were imprinted in Bai Zhi's mind. She stared at the dead Poria in the image, and finally understood why she could feel the breath of the dying old man from her body.

"I am about to die, and you will become the only proof that this girl named Fuling has ever existed..."

"I'm sorry for putting such a heavy responsibility on your shoulders..."

The image was fixed on Fu Ling's gray face. Bai Zhi looked at this lifeless face and turned around blankly, looking at Fu Ling aside.

"Have you finished watching it?" Fu Ling didn't feel much about the end of the video.

Because she had seen this image many years ago.

"Hmm..." Bai Zhi nodded a little dullly. She didn't understand why Fuling wanted to show her this.

"Just like what was said in the video, the girl named Fu Ling is dead. The one who is alive now is Fu Ling, but it is definitely not Alicia's Xiao Ling." Standing up slowly, Fu Ling walked to the necklace and took it Picked it up.

"And I, the data memory in this paradise, can be called an object, is the only proof of Xiaoling's existence..." As he spoke, Fuling untied the bandage around his waist, revealing I don't know if it can be called a wound.

What Bai Zhi saw was not a bloody wound or a scabbed scar, but... a turbulent flow of data.

“This is who I am, this is our truth.”

"In the Paradise, we may be real, but in fact, I, we, and everything here are false existences."

"And what I want to tell you is what Alicia did in this suicide note."

Chapter 842 No.13 Herrscher is a lie

"Sit down, I know you have many questions and doubts." Putting the necklace back, Fuling slowly walked back to the sofa and sat down, speaking slowly to Bai Zhi.

"For example, why is it said that the girl named Fuling is dead, and what exactly did Alicia do?" Fuling said slowly as he wrapped the bandage around his waist back.

"Let's talk about why Fuling died first. It's actually very simple. I don't know what she is like now. But I can be sure that Xiaoling died on the moon a long time ago. The one who survived may be Fuling, but not It's Xiaoling. The greatest sorrow is the death of the heart, and it is Xiaoling's heart that died." Fu Ling spoke slowly, her tone relaxed, as if the person speaking was not herself.

"As for what Alicia did..." Speaking of this, Fu Ling's expression became a little depressed.

"This is what I want you to know."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Ling stood up and walked to the corner of the laboratory.

"Come with me."

Looking at Poria with a somewhat messy pace, Bai Zhi didn't understand what kind of thing could make this seemingly omnipotent sister become like this.

"Ta." Following Fuling's pace, Bai Zhi watched the road ahead getting darker and darker, and the lights behind her could no longer illuminate this dark corridor.

"We're here." After an unknown amount of time, Poria stopped. She looked at the dark space in front of her and said to Bai Zhi.

"Ah?" Poking out her head, Bai Zhi looked at the darkness in front of her, not understanding what Fuling meant.

"..." Without saying anything else, Fu Ling stretched out her hand and pressed it on the wall beside her.

"Ta." There was no high technology or strict security as expected, just a warm light turned on.

And with the help of the light, Bai Zhi finally understood what Poria meant by arriving.

In Bai Zhi's sight, there was a warmly decorated small house. She could see the shadow of her own home in this room.

Entering the hut, Poria stood in front of a painting. Bai Zhi followed Poria's movements and discovered the painting that was incompatible with the style of the room.

What is painted on the painting?

The girl stood in the darkness, the background was blurry, and she was holding something in her hand that looked broken.Two lines of tears slid down the side of her face, as if she was grieving for something broken.

There is an air of sadness and despair in this painting.

That's why Bai Zhi felt that this painting was incompatible with this cozy little house.

After staring at the painting for a while, Fuling slowly reached out and took the painting off the wall, revealing the glass cover behind it and...
