Chapter 120 The Final Deal
He Jing Yayoi took off the locator and threw it into the river. The turbulent river quickly took away the artillery attack. He placed Elizabeth's body in a relatively intact garden. He waited for two seconds, and a soul appeared in front of him.
"Master He Jing, we meet again."
Elizabeth, who had turned into a spirit, stretched out her hand and looked at herself curiously. "I look no different from when I was alive, except that I'm a little transparent. And this is what drinking this poison feels like, just like taking sleeping pills."
Seeing Elizabeth looking the same as she did in life, He Jing Yasheng felt relieved. "Elizabeth, I can't guarantee your safety outside now. The world line may erase your existence at any time. I will preserve your memory and let you reincarnate again."
"Ah... I really can't just float like Mr. Zhufu? Well, Lord Hejing, thank you for your help." Elizabeth pouted unwillingly. She had been looking forward to floating away.
Seeing this, Kazukage Yayoi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Hiro can be like this because I fed him a lot of lifelines, and also connected him to other people. I don't have any extra energy to give you now. Don't worry, I promise to keep your memory, and then find you a rich family with harmonious parents."
"And the parents must be beautiful! Lord He Jing, you must choose carefully for me." Elizabeth smiled and sighed. She looked at the god in front of her, then reached out her hand to touch him, "Then, this time I really have to say goodbye."
"…God, although my mother once told me not to pray to God easily, I never regret meeting you, even now. Thank you for everything you have done for me, and I hope we can meet again one day."
The next second, Elizabeth's figure gradually dissipated in the air, and the wind took away the last trace of her in this world.
He Jing Yasheng lowered his eyes, looking at the familiar yet strange corpse in front of him, and promised to someone unknown: "Don't worry, I promise to let you reincarnate."
He conjured up a bunch of white lilies and threw the bouquet, a symbol of victory and blessing, on the broken body, "Good night, Elizabeth."
Zhu Fu Jingguang knew that even if he didn't care about the life and death of human beings, it was different from someone forcing his followers to die. Not caring doesn't mean you need to do it, not to mention being forced to do it.
"Yayoi, after we destroy the organization, we can bring Elizabeth back. Didn't Yinyin also reincarnate before? Don't worry."
But He Jing Yayoi was not comforted at all, instead his face looked terribly bad.
He lowered his head and looked at the corpse at his feet, muttering: "But Elizabeth is still dead, just as the organization planned... I have a strange feeling, a sense of fate that cannot be escaped..."
Just like those 7 people at the beginning, after many twists and turns, 7 people still died. They thought they had taken action, saved themselves, and changed themselves, but in the end they still returned to the same path.
Fate is like a maze, seemingly giving you forks in the road and choices. But no matter how long you wander in the maze and how many turns you make, there is only one exit in the end.
Hearing such negative words from Kazukage Yayoi, Morobushi Kagemitsu was stunned. "The organization did plan very early and very thoroughly, but so far, hasn't it still not been able to harm you?"
No matter how intense the artillery fire was, it didn't really hurt Yayoi at all. All the energy he lost was because of protecting Zero, right?
He Jing Yayoi frowned. Compared with the previous crisis, his reaction this time seemed more pessimistic, as if he already knew the way forward. "No... The organization was able to install a locator in Elizabeth's heart 12 years ago, just for today. Don't you think that it's because the organization already knew that Elizabeth would become my believer, and I would definitely take Elizabeth away today?"
"Mr. Amuro said that all of Karasuma Renye's decisions are terrifyingly accurate, as accurate as a prophet... What if he can really predict the future? Helena, Elizabeth's mother, once had the ability to predict danger. In other words, she could predict the future."
"Although Elizabeth doesn't know why she didn't inherit this ability, she cannot deny that someone who can predict the future has appeared in the world."
Kazukage Yayoi looked up in the direction where Amuro Toru left, "Karemaru Renya, who knew the future...had been plotting against Elizabeth 12 years ago, did he really not know about Mr. Amuro's undercover identity?"
What! ?
How is this possible? Given the organization's temper, shouldn't they have gotten rid of Zero long ago?
Wait, could it be that the organization has been killing undercover agents all the time just to make them mistakenly believe that as long as the organization finds an undercover agent, they will immediately deal with the undercover agent and will not let him live. Similarly, as long as the undercover agent is not being hunted down by the organization, he will mistakenly think that he has not been exposed.
In other words, if the organization did not hunt down Zero, they would all think that Zero was safe and let him return to the organization without any worries.
Because they subconsciously think that the organization will not let any undercover go, and will execute the other party as soon as possible. But in fact, the organization has long known Zero's undercover identity, and the organization took advantage of their inertial thinking and chose not to take any action, just to wait for Zero to fall into the trap today.
This idea was so terrifying that Zhu Fujingguang almost didn't dare to think about the possibility that it was true.
He was about to open his mouth, but the next second, the artillery fire stopped abruptly, as if the organization already knew that they had achieved their goal for this round and the next attack was meaningless.
Ding Ding Ding
In this silence, a strange and abrupt cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Hearing the expected yet unexpected ringtone, Zhu Fu Jingguang's heart was beating fast. He widened his eyes and stared at He Jing Yayoi's cell phone, wishing he could poke a hole in it.
He Jing Yayoi did not have such a big emotional fluctuation as Zhu Fu Jing Guang, and even had a sigh of "as expected". He picked up the phone and asked in a calm tone: "Gin, where do we meet?"
Gin was laughing happily on the other end of the phone, and Jing Yayoi could hear the smile between his words, "It seems that you have found out, come back to the banquet hall, we will wait for you there."
He Jing Yasheng's eyes darkened and he hung up the phone. We...
"Sure enough, the organization already knew about Mr. Amuro's undercover identity. It was a mistake to let him go back just now." Kazukage Yayoi rubbed his forehead with a headache. "No, if the organization had installed a locator on Elizabeth 12 years ago, it would be hard to guarantee that Mr. Amuro didn't have it."
"Oh, what a hassle."
Zhu Fushiki Jingguang has been unusually silent since just now. He pursed his lips tightly, as if he had experienced a strong psychological struggle. Finally, he almost forced out a sentence from his throat, "...Don't worry about Zero, Yayoi, this is a trap."
If the artillery fire was only to force Elizabeth to death, then the trap on Zero's side must be a trap that the organization believes is powerful enough to kill gods. Without any intelligence, Zhu Fu Jingguang was unwilling to gamble with Jing Yasheng whether this trap was really fatal.
If Zero died, the worst that could happen was that he could go back to Kazukiya like Elizabeth, but if Kazukiya died, they would have nothing.
"...Hiro, I know, I'm not that stupid. But your lifeline is connected to Mr. Amuro. If he dies, you will die too. I'm not saving him, I'm also saving you. You're different from Elizabeth. If you die, you're really dead, and I can't bring you back."
Kazukage Yayoi sighed helplessly, "Mr. Amuro would not have died so easily, the world line has always been protecting him. But from just now, I can no longer see the world line and life line clearly."
"If the world line chooses to abandon Mr. Amuro and drag you down with it, there's nothing I can do."
He originally thought that Amuro Toru's lifeline was just a trap set for him, just like the people on the boat, but he didn't dare to take the risk now. If the world line really wanted to kill Amuro Toru and Morobushi Kagemitsu, then all his preparations would be in vain.
"Then don't worry about me, Yayoi. There's no need. I'm already dead, and I never expected to have a new story after death. I should have returned to the earth long ago."
Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Kazukage Yayoi gently, "You have done enough for me. It is good enough that you can see Zero's side. I have no regrets. Don't let me drag you down. There is no need to step into this trap for me."
Kazukage Yayoi looked at Morobushi Keimitsu quietly. He seemed to be thinking about something, but no one could read it.
Finally he sighed, "I understand your feelings, Hiro, and I appreciate your efforts. But unfortunately, I am just like you think. Even though I know it is a trap, I have reasons to step into it."
"Do you know? Predicting the future is not actually an authority, but a gift from God. God bestows his prophecy on believers, and the essence of this prophecy is the reality that this world has experienced."
"To predict the future is actually to find the orbit nodes left by every important choice in the countless reincarnations of the world. The gods tell their believers about the nodes, and when the believers see the nodes, they will naturally know what choice they should make."
"Just like today, if Elizabeth hadn't had a locator installed in her body, she wouldn't have died. And Karasuma Renya, who wanted Elizabeth dead, chose to install a locator in her 12 years ago. For us, it's like predicting the future."
"But I said, there are no gods in this world. So Karasuma Renye is not a believer, and he is not blessed by the gods to know the important nodes."
"But he himself is the one who restarts the world."
“His authority is time.”
If the world line intervention is still within the controllable range, it is now completely beyond the control of Kazukage Yayoi. After all, the existence of the authority of time means that the annoying original sin has come again.
Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly understood the hidden meaning, "Yayoi, what you mean is... if you don't go now, Karasuma Renya will choose to reverse time?"
Kazukage Yayoi smiled faintly, but Morofushi Kagemitsu only read ridicule and unwillingness in that smile.
"Yes, I don't have the authority over time. If I reverse time or restart the world, I will lose everything I have now. Karasuma Renya already knows that the owner of my body is Andong Yayoi. In other words, the next time I restart, he will kill me the moment I possess Andong Yayoi."
"At that time, I had no energy at all. I was so weak that I couldn't even move. Killing me was a piece of cake."
"But Karasuma Renya is just an ordinary person. There must be very harsh conditions for him to reverse time, so he has never used the power of time. Otherwise, as early as the moment he knew my identity, he could immediately choose to reverse time and kill me."
"So, after knowing this, my goal is simple. I must kill Karasuma Renya before he restarts the world, and then trap his soul so that he cannot use his authority."
Just like what he did to Bishop Oshan, he knew the conditions under which the other party would use his authority, and then trapped him in an eternal dream.
"...I understand." Seeing that Kazukage Yayoi finally revealed the information he had concealed, Morobushi Jingguang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that he didn't trust Kazukage Yayoi. On the contrary, in this world, besides Zero, the person he trusted the most was Kazukage Yayoi.
But he would not believe that a god was willing to risk his life to save a human being, even if the human being saved was himself.
Therefore, there is only one reason why Kazukage Yayoi stepped into the trap without hesitation even though he knew it was a trap:
He had a reason to step into the trap, and this reason was what truly threatened his life.
Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't care that He Jing Yasheng hid the information from him. After all, he had the same reaction as Zero, "I understand, but it's useless." This may also be the reason why He Jing Yasheng was reluctant to tell him a lot of information.
No human would tell a cat about his career plans, and no human would tell an ant the details of his medical condition.
If anyone actually thinks this situation is reasonable, that person should go to a mental hospital.
So Zhufu Jingguang didn't care about hiding anything from Jing Yayoi. He just wanted to know how big the iceberg hidden under the sea was. At least he would know the truth when he died. He was afraid of riddles and misunderstandings, and he was also afraid of unknown things. In the face of danger and difficulties, he hoped that everyone would come together honestly and face the ending together, even if it was a group annihilation.
"So if we don't go, all three of us will die, right? Gin will kill Zero, I will be killed by the world line, and you will be killed by the organization after the world restarts."
It sounds like a desperate fight, but Zhu Fu Jingguang is not afraid at all. Instead, he squinted his eyes and smiled, "This is really exciting. Since the stage has been set for us, there is no reason for the leading actor to be absent, right?"
