The last time we met was around New Year's.
Things remain the same year after year, but people come and go, and those who are no longer the same.
Time is merciless, things change and people change, how many people will return?
Enough of the digressions, let's get back to the main storyline of the long-awaited Wine-Winning Adventure.
If this can be considered part of the main storyline.
The swordsman standing on horseback, bathed in light, cast no shadow, or rather, left a deep psychological scar on everyone.
Du Juan had never seen such a swordsman, nor had she ever seen such a strange thing.
Yingjiu claims that he was born without a shadow, so he is not afraid of the blue sunlight. But why does this swordsman who came from nowhere also have no shadow?
Ying Jiu's natural beauty is something others can't imitate, but this swordsman's method... perhaps it can be popularized?
If such a method truly existed, its value would be immeasurable.
So, after obtaining Yingjiu's permission, Dujuan cautiously asked about the matter.
Why do I have no shadow?
Upon hearing this question, Wuhen turned around, glanced at the screen, and shook his head slightly.
"It is not that I am without shadow, but that I shine brighter than the sun of this world."
The white horse beneath His feet snorted, its voice tinged with disdain.
Wuhen also felt a little regretful. Usually, it was others who said these things. This time, he came in a bit of a hurry and didn't bring many nice-talking people with him. He could only amuse himself.
Azalea: ......
For a moment, I didn't know what was shining.
Wuhen thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "My son also has a technique called Shadowless."
After two failed attempts, Dujuan had already given up hope, but since the other party was willing to talk, she perked up her spirits once again.
Under Du Juan's expectant gaze, Wuhen revealed Xue Meng's method of disappearing into thin air.
After hearing Xue Meng's method, everyone fell silent.
"What do you mean, 'If you run faster than the speed of light, your shadow can't catch you'???"
For a moment, countless question marks floated above everyone's heads.
Is this even human?
Du Juan became completely withdrawn. For her, all of this was too cruel. Even if she could live to see tomorrow, even if she could make it to sunset today, what about tomorrow?
There is no hope for this world as long as the Shadow Monster is not dealt with.
As for people like Yingjiu and Wuhen... whether they are just passersby in this world or true supernatural beings, the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of helping them solve their problems.
Some people are born more perceptive than others.
For example: those beings who, from the moment they become conscious, have always lurked in the shadows, watching others.
Ying Jiu noticed the change in Du Juan's emotions and slowly spoke.
"Listen carefully, I will only explain it once, because you can understand the principle after hearing it once. If you can't understand it, it means that you are resisting it in your heart and denying it subconsciously. Even if I say it a second time, it will not make any difference."
"The problems you are facing are best solved by forces within the same dimension. Introducing forces from a higher dimension will only be a disaster for you."
Winning wine is an example,
"It's like when the power goes out. You need electricity, so you can repair the circuits, build more power plants, use backup generators, or even crank the generator by hand."
However, you can't just drop a nuclear bomb and light up the world because it's dark and the power is out.
Using an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes is a disaster for both the mosquitoes and the user.
"This world is more fragile than you imagine. The entry of higher-dimensional forces is like dropping a nuclear bomb into an eggshell. The Shadow Monster may be dealt with, but more trouble will arise. Besides... the Shadow Monster is a derivative of this kind."
Logically, Du Juan could indeed understand.
But she wanted to live... and for more people to live...
She was given a chance to survive, even if it was just for a moment, even if it was a choice where the benefits outweighed the drawbacks in the short term, but the drawbacks outweighed the benefits in the long term... she was still willing to take it.
Du Juan's expression betrayed her thoughts.
Wuhen looked at Yingjiu and said seriously,
"If we do nothing, what difference is there between us and Him?"
The only being who can be addressed as 'He' by the strongest human race is the supreme demon god.
Yingjiu sighed, "But if we do everything, how are we any different from Him?"
Doing everything, in the long run, is tantamount to killing all races and leaving only the strongest...
Thinking of this, Wuhen couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps your choice was the most correct one."
observe.
Yingjiu rolled her eyes.
"You think that bastard hasn't done little? He's only pretending to be well-behaved in front of you guys. When it comes to actually doing something, that bastard is the most ruthless..."
Having said all that, the two of them had already made up their minds about what to do next.
With a single, traceless slash, the shadowy monster was finely sliced into minced meat.
"Within the limits of what this world can withstand, I can seal these monsters for 776 years. If you want, sealing them all is just a matter of one sword strike."
After saying that, the white horse actually carried the swordsman away from the spot.
A sword that leaves no trace always leaves no trace.
When Yingjiu needs this sword, the sword will fall.
Hope was rekindled in Du Juan's eyes once again.
Yingjiu, however, seemed somewhat dejected, and even took out a gourd from somewhere and gulped down a mouthful of wine.
He let out a burp, glanced at everyone, and asked weakly,
Are you ready to save the world?
Everyone responded in unison, "Ready!"
Yingjiu countered, "But which world are you trying to save...?"
Du Juan blinked, somewhat puzzled.
Ying Jiu sighed and continued,
"If I told you that these shadow monsters also possess sentience, that they have their own civilization, and that their emotions are even richer than yours—though you cannot comprehend them—that you are not superior to them, and that on the path of evolution, you are the ones who must strive to catch up..."
Du Juan's face was already quite pale.
Ying Jiu's voice grew weaker and weaker. He took another sip of wine and asked softly.
"If I told you..."
"I was born a shadow."
"And what would you think then?"
The azalea seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.
......
(I had writer's block late at night and suddenly felt like writing a side story, so I picked up the few chapters I had written before, reread them, and continued writing...)
