Chapter 79 So, yes or no?
I really didn't intend to deceive "Yan Qing", and I hesitated whether to confess. But when I thought about the possible consequences, I felt that it would be better to continue to hide it.
Every day they can keep it secret is a day less of risk for them.
What's more, Dan Heng and Ren were able to experiment with their new abilities by fighting each other on the Jingfeng ship as soon as they landed. I couldn't imagine what would happen to them if they knew they had been resurrected from the dead.
So now I am more hesitant about whether I should reveal some information to "Yan Qing" in advance.
Just in case one day I'm suddenly caught in the resurrection state, this will allow Yan Qing and the others to be mentally prepared.
But the problem that followed was how much should I reveal so as not to arouse "Yan Qing"'s suspicion, and how much should I reveal so as not to be noticed by "Yan Qing", and in this process, the logic must be self-consistent...
It's so complicated, so forget it.
I felt a little headache and wanted to give up this plan, but the long silence made "Yan Qing" open his eyes wide, realizing the loophole that was not promised just now, "You didn't say you wouldn't hide it from me!"
This is of course true. After all, concealment cannot be considered a mistake in this incident.
But if I had any sense at all, I would never answer like that.
So I just explained in a soothing way: "These are just some unfounded associations. It doesn't make sense to say it or not."
"Yanqing", who has become more and more skilled in the battle of wits and courage, has already realized the trick - neither confirm nor deny, no matter what "Jingyuan" says, just climb up the pole.
So "Yan Qing" confidently demanded: "Even if you were just thinking about what to eat for dinner, you have to tell me your mental journey!"
Inexplicably, after hearing this, I felt a strange sense of helplessness and relief: the child has grown up...
No, I haven’t even started a family yet!
However, since "Yan Qing" has said this, let's just regard it as him making the choice for me.
So, I hesitantly asked, "What do you think the world after death will be like?"
As expected, after hearing this, Yan Qing frowned and asked, "How did you think of..."
He hesitated for a moment, swallowed his words, and changed his words to comfort, "There is no world after death. Even the Ten Kings are in charge of living people, not dead souls."
It took me a second to understand what he meant. Yanqing was thinking that he was worried about taking someone's life. Even though I knew it was an enemy, it was still a human being after all. The blood was red, and it felt warm when it splashed on my face.
——Although I didn't feel much in my heart when I was standing in the corridor, all my attention was focused on judging the situation on the battlefield, and the only thought in my mind was to swing the sword.
If it were normal, I could just continue following what "Yanqing" said, and as long as I discussed a few more words related to the philosophy of life, this topic would be over.
But since I have already decided to reveal a little, further hesitation will only make it more difficult for me to speak up later, so I shook my head and denied his statement, "That's not what I want to say."
"Yan Qing" seemed to have sensed something from this attitude, and he straightened his body and asked stiffly, "Then what do you want to say?"
I took a deep breath and said quickly, "If one day, I die in front of you..."
The cold right hand immediately grasped my wrist, as if afraid that I would disappear. He squeezed with extra force, almost giving me the illusion that my wrist bone was about to be crushed.
"Why do you think so?" Yan Qing asked in a deep voice, and suddenly pressed further, "What are you planning to do by staying here now?"
He was obviously confirming his thoughts step by step, and then asked, "If I don't ask, are you going to leave us alone and go to..."
The following words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them. In the end, only angry gasps were left.
"......This is a hypothesis, "Yanqing", no one can say for sure about matters of life and death. "I held his arms down, feeling like I was giving him desensitization treatment," You said we won't die. ”
"Besides, since there is no afterlife, then it's just a matter of closing your eyes and opening them again. If you think about it this way, it's almost the same as sleeping, isn't it?"
"What if I die in front of you?" "Yan Qing" asked softly, and as expected, he felt the person under his palm tremble for a moment.
You see, even you can't convince yourself.
"Yan Qing" looked at the person in front of him calmly, "'If you die, you die. You will be resurrected' - such words do not need to be put into practice, but only need to be spoken. Can you say it?"
Of course I can't say it, and I don't even dare to think about such a scene.
But as "Yanqing" said this, I couldn't help but complete that picture in my mind, including every detail.
I clenched my knuckles hard, and suddenly realized that "Yan Qing" was still holding my wrist. He could fully feel my movements and use them to judge my condition.
So I let go and replaced the dead person in my mind with myself, "Dead is dead, there will always be..."
Before I could finish my words, "Yan Qing" suddenly let go of my wrist, then held the sword in his hand and stabbed it towards his heart without any hesitation.
My mind went blank for a moment, but fortunately I did the right thing unconsciously.
He put his fingers together to form a palm and struck hard on the inside of Yan Qing's right wrist. When he saw the long sword fall off, he grabbed Yan Qing's wrist and twisted it outward with force. Then he took advantage of the situation to hold his shoulder and went behind him, pinning him to the ground with a grappling technique.
The long sword was kicked far away, but "Yan Qing" remained quiet and showed no intention of struggling at all.
It was not until this moment that I began to feel a strong fear in my heart, and even wanted to scold "Yan Qing" for doing this.
But what else could it be? Isn't this all because of me? Whenever I think of this, I can't utter a word.
I silently let go, picked up Yan Qing's sword, and carefully checked the tip of the sword to make sure it was bloodless. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this."
"Yan Qing" didn't get up, but just turned over and lay on the ground, looking up at me, "You don't even think I'm testing you or forcing you."
I really had never thought about it, even after Yan Qing said, "It's my fault. I didn't pay attention to your mental state."
"Mental state..." "Yan Qing" lying on the ground laughed at himself, "You are totally treating me as a child who can't stand the separation of life and death."
He sighed, propped himself up and looked at me. "If death is an inevitable journey, then isn't it normal for me to explore the way ahead of time?"
Yu Zhao received the news with a beep, but "Yan Qing" ignored it and continued, "Those sure words are unfounded after all. No one knows what it will be like after death."
He pressed my shoulders hard and said bluntly, "So, it's not that I can't bear it, I just want to accompany you."
He said this with extreme solemnity, yet also with extreme ease, as if he really just wanted to explore the way forward for me, and not in a dying way.
This made me hesitate again.
"......" Say it out loud, you already know his determination and will.
"......" Tell him, in the current situation, how long can you hide it?
"......" Just say it out loud, this is the best opportunity. You can't really let "Yan Qing" face his own corpse one day.
All kinds of thoughts were circling in my mind, and several times I felt that I was about to say something, but in the end I just looked at "Yan Qing" who was checking the Yu Zhao news without saying a word.
…I can’t say.
I know the consequences of saying this, and that's why I can't say it lightly.
——"Yanqing" will definitely blame himself.
Maybe I shouldn't have hesitated from the beginning.
It was my fault. I thought that "Dan Heng" and "Ren" would be more unusual in this regard, but I didn't expect that "Yan Qing" was the same.
Can't tell them, not at all.
I made up my mind and repeatedly reaffirmed my thoughts in my heart, but suddenly I heard "Yan Qing" sigh.
Just when I thought this was a sign that he had given up asking, I heard him say in great disappointment, "You've died before."
There was no doubt in the tone of his statement, and his amber eyes were filled with the loneliness of not being trusted and the pain of knowing the truth.
He seemed to want to say something else, but he didn't know what to say, so he just repeated desperately: "You've died."
Does he know? When did you know? Is he just waiting for me to confess, waiting for me to tell him in person?
As soon as this idea entered my mind, it was like a bomb exploding underwater, and all my disturbed thoughts became chaotic.
After the aftermath of the bomb passed, I finally caught a hint of something strange in my mind: No, that's not right, "Yan Qing" couldn't possibly know.
"Why do you think so? Could it be that I was influenced by the settings you gave me?" I asked quickly, avoiding his statement.
Logically speaking, "Yan Qing" wouldn't have thought of this, so I wouldn't make it difficult for him in this regard.
But now, I don't know why "Yan Qing" is particularly sure of this. Even after I asked such a question, he did not waver at all. He even relied on my promise to him and asked, "Tell us, yes or no?"
"We?" I caught the word he used and glanced at the call interface on his screen.
That was a private conversation between "Ren" and him, but I'm sure "Dan Heng" was there too.
I remember that "Ren" seemed to have gone to explore the Boyue Ancient Sea with "Dan Heng", but there should be nothing related to me in the Boyue Ancient Sea. Could it be that Baichuan revealed something?
While thinking, Yan Qing gritted his teeth and asked again, "So, is there or not?"
