Chapter 70 No matter what, I won't abandon them

Ren noticed Jingyuan earlier.

They have been waiting here, but they can't explain how "Jing Yuan" appeared.

Perhaps it was a moment of trance, perhaps it was a blink of an eye, anyway, he suddenly appeared there, his face pale, his left hand hanging naturally at his side, as if nothing had happened, but his right hand was pressing hard on his stomach.

He lowered his eyelids, not knowing whether he was thinking or covering up, until he muttered something to himself and then returned to his previous expression.

"He didn't seem to see us." Kafka hinted to Ren meaningfully.

Blade responded unmoved: "He'll see it eventually."

After all, the place where they are is the only way to "Jingyuan".

Elio's predictions have never been wrong, and this time is no exception. Just as Jingyuan was about to take a step forward, he looked up and saw them.

It was not until "Jingyuan" walked over that Ren could see the cold sweat oozing from his forehead. However, he seemed very relaxed in his words and actions, as if he had never suffered any harm.

What is there to hide? I've seen you in worse situations. Ren thought so subconsciously, but suddenly realized that he had not seen Jing Yuan like this for a long time.

If Ren was alone, he might have heard the phrase "five generations and three generations" during this trip, but since Kafka participated in the open conversation, it would not be simply related to the past.

I sighed and asked without much hope, "I'm assuming this isn't about the future?"

Kafka chuckled, her tone as graceful as ever, "I didn't know that General Shen Ce would also have the idea of ​​escaping."

"I'm just an ordinary person." I frankly admitted this to them, "If possible, I would also like to get a script, which is better than searching in this huge universe by myself."

After all, even I only found out today that I would leave Luofu and come to Pinoconi, but the Star Core Hunter was able to wait here in advance, which is enough to prove that I am still on the destined path.

It wasn't that unacceptable, but it definitely wasn't a big deal either - especially after hearing about that future from Elio.

"Then, can I understand that the general intends to join our Star Core Hunters?" Kafka responded with a smile, treating it as a joke.

Anyway, it is impossible for "Jingyuan" to really leave Luofu and act with them.

After the joke, it’s time to get down to business.

"Suppose: You are now at a very critical node, and there are options leading to two different directions. One will kill many people, and the other will kill three people..." Kafka paused at the right time, waiting for my answer.

A trolley problem, and one that I had to answer.

But do I really have the right to choose?

"No matter what choice I make, the ending seems to be determined in Elio's prophecy." I looked into Kafka's eyes, but I couldn't read any information from those out-of-focus eyes.

Kafka acted very relaxed, as if this was not a life-or-death problem. "I can't tell you whether the future can be changed, but I can tell you that your choice is important."

......If it cannot be changed, then what is the point of choosing? Is it more important that I actively push people to death or passively watch them die without being able to do anything about it?

"What if I'm not going to answer this question?" Although I already had some guesses in my mind, I still asked this question.

In response to me, the sword in Blade's hand clenched tightly. He did not attack me, but just blocked my way like a checkpoint. "Then you also have no way of knowing the answer to this trip."

A blatant threat. I don't know what's so important that Elio would send someone to wait here just for an answer. I only know that my stomach hurts a lot now.

The smell of blood wafted between my teeth as I clenched my teeth. I tried hard to swallow it, suppressing the urge to press my stomach.

——I knew that dreams that were too realistic wouldn’t be good. Now, even this kind of pain is real.

Take a deep breath, restrain yourself... Forget it, it will be more comfortable to spit it out, this is something I speak from experience.

The sudden vomiting of scarlet blood made Ren suddenly stand still. He knew that "Jingyuan" was a little abnormal, but he never expected it to be so serious.

From Luofu to Pinoconi, Jingyuan did not encounter any sneak attacks along the way, so if there was any attack, it could only have happened in Pinoconi.

No, it doesn't have to be an attack, after all, there are so many ways to kill someone. Ren glanced at the red spot on the ground and ruled out the possibility of poisoning.

But the person concerned didn't care at all. He just wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his fingertips and said lightly, "Drinking on an empty stomach is really unhealthy."

This reason was a bit ridiculous for a celestial being with extremely high self-healing ability, but Ke Ren successfully concluded that "Jing Yuan" was not lying.

The next moment, "Jing Yuan" skipped over his own physical problems and answered Kafka's previous question, "No matter what, I will not abandon them."

He didn't say who "they" were, but just as he didn't ask who the "three" who would die were, they all knew it.

It seemed that he thought the Star Core Hunter would not be satisfied with this answer and would not let him go, so "Jing Yuan" even summoned Shi Huo Meng Shen, as if to say "if it doesn't work, let's fight".

But judging from his expression, Basara felt that he was looking for a support point to cover up his poor physical condition.

If you want to verify this it's easy...

Zhili, who had drunk all the blood, cut through the air with the breath of death, and finally hovered in front of "Jing Yuan", but "Jing Yuan" had no intention of raising the formation knife in his hand.

Blade can't kill me. After all, I probably occupy a very important position in Elio's script.

What's more, this is a dream. Even if you kill me out of the dream, I can log back in again. There is no point in repeating such behavior.

So I didn't plan to resist, and even had time to think back. Jing Yuan had also tried to test me in this way before.

However, Jing Yuan at that time responded to me with higher trust, but at this time, Ren just said coldly, "Pick up your weapon."

What, you don’t kill unarmed people? I blinked and looked at the Shihuo Mengshen in my hand again. So I am not unarmed.

Ren looked at me silently, and the blood color in his eyes seemed to become deeper.

I really couldn't figure out Ren's thoughts, and in the end I could only conclude that he was having a konjac attack.

I can totally understand that you can’t control your emotions during the Konjac Sauce. Besides, it’s just a matter of landing again and going to Liumeng Reef again, which is neither difficult nor too troublesome.

...Forget it. If possible, I'll just ask Potio to help me give a simple route map.

Thinking of this, I grabbed the broken sword and took a step forward, letting the tip of the sword pierce my flesh and blood. "If you want to kill me, come on."

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I felt that after saying this, the blood color in Blade’s eyes seemed to become darker.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of being stimulated by blood. But on second thought, if this setting really exists, it would look a bit like a vampire.

While I was still thinking, the blade was suddenly pulled away, leaving only two bloody marks on my palm and knuckles.

I was completely unprepared, and the force I held on to the weapon was neither too strong nor too weak, so I staggered due to his sudden movement. Fortunately, I didn't get killed in the end.

Shi Huomeng fell to the ground with a bang due to the sudden situation just now. I can only be thankful that I was not in Luofu at that time, otherwise I don’t know how many people would have seen "General Jingyuan" personally breaking the iron rule of not letting weapons go.

The weapons dispersed as I wished, which to some extent showed that I had no intention of taking action at all.

But Ren's condition didn't get any better, and he even suddenly asked, "Are you asking for death?!"

"I didn't." I immediately refuted Ren's incorrect thinking, and said very frankly, "I won't die."

So you must not think of me as Jing Yuan who has been in power for more than 700 years and has finally collapsed after repeated reincarnations.

——I can’t even imagine Kyung Won like this!

Good news, Blade didn’t think so.

Bad news, Ren may be thinking more.

Therefore, he grabbed my collar, pushed me against the railing, and asked fiercely: "What did you do?"

To be honest, I always thought that with Elio around, even if Blade didn't know everything, he would probably know something.

But now it seems that at least he doesn't know that I won't actually die.

The cold feeling from behind quickly spread through my clothes and spread all over my body, making my heart feel cold.

If I had known that Ren was not aware of this, I would never have said such a thing.

"I didn't do anything." I raised my hand and pressed down on his arm, signaling him to slow down and let me go.

But the blade didn't move at all, and was very persistent in waiting for me to answer first.

"Don't worry, I have not been bewitched to touch Jianmu, nor have I taken the initiative to explore any forbidden techniques." After saying that, I patted Blade's arm again, and he was finally released.

Ren looked at me steadily, and then said in a cold voice: "There are five people, and three costs... Jingyuan, you are not one of them."

I guess what he meant by saying this at this point is: You are not the one who needs to pay the price, so don't get involved and don't make sacrifices for it.

But this is not a sacrifice, it is just a choice, just like Jing Yuan chose to become General Luofu.

However, this is just my personal thinking after all. After all, I am not the real Jing Yuan, so I have no way of knowing his opinion, nor can I respond to this on his behalf.

So I skipped the subject and turned to Kafka and asked, "Can I come over now?"

"Of course." Kafka chuckled, with no intention of stopping him. Then she said to Ren, "Listen to me, Ren, calm down. It's time for us to leave."

...You really just want an answer? I stared at their departing backs in confusion.

It’s not like Yu Zhao can’t chat, is it really necessary to go to so much trouble?

Phew, forget it, it’s more important to find an elegy.

I took the elevator all the way down and finally arrived after nearly forty seconds.

The elevator gates opened layer by layer. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a person who obviously shouldn't appear in Liumeng Reef at this time - Sha Jin.

......It’s okay that the Star Core Hunter has Elio, but why can the company also intercept accurately?

I decisively turned around and prepared to return to the upper level, but the fence gate that had just closed did not sense the need to open again.

A slightly smiling voice sounded from behind: "Meeting is destiny. My friend, I don't think there is any need for us to be so hostile."

I exhaled silently and turned back again, "Even if this encounter was deliberately created?"

Shajin's smile never faded, and he even responded calmly: "Even if it was a deliberately created encounter."
