Seeing Lin Qian's hesitation, Zhang Yan continued to persuade her, "Give up Li Er and join us! We will never force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Lin Qian said calmly, "You just said that it's foolish to rely on others for your fate. Whether it's you or Li Er, you're relying on one of you to decide your fate. What difference does it make to me?"
"Of course there is a difference!" Zhang Yan said seriously, "You and I are both transformed from clay figures. We share the same roots. How could I possibly harm you?"
"But Li Er is different. She's radical and ruthless. Who knows what her purpose is in finding us?"
"You also saw the prophetic image. In it, Lear knelt at that man's feet. I suspect Lear's goal is to sacrifice the five of us to that man!"
"So the five of us must unite and fight against that ending together!"
Zhang Yan said passionately.
Zhang Yan's words were so inspiring, but Lin Qian felt a deep sense of powerlessness. "But we were all created by that man. We are incomplete people. The ending has already been written. Struggling is probably futile."
No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, no matter how much she lied to herself, she couldn't change the fact:
The five of them did not exist originally; it was that man who gave them life.
If one day in the future, that man wants to take their lives back, do they have the right to say no?
"But what's the harm in trying?" Zhang Yan said quietly.
"Yes, we were created by that man, but that's all. Once we enter the game, our thoughts and actions are no longer under his control. Every person we meet, good or bad, truly exists in our memories and is a part of us. If you don't even have the courage to struggle and resist, your life is truly boring."
Lin Qian was completely stunned.
Yes, those people or things in the past truly belonged to her, to Lin Qian, and not to anyone else.
Life is boring, so why not find something interesting to do?
A gleam flashed in her eyes: "Zhang Yan, you successfully convinced me."
Zhang Yan extended his hand, a smile on his face: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
Lin Qian extended her hand without hesitation, "Looking forward to the interesting days ahead."
The two separated as soon as their hands touched.
At the moment when the two hands were clasped, a picture flashed through their minds.
Lin Qian once again saw the scene in her dream, where the man took out his heart and transplanted it to the clay man.
Every dream ended here, but this time, she saw the "sequel".
Although it was only a few seconds, she clearly saw the mud man turn into her appearance.
I had guessed this a long time ago, so I wasn't too surprised when I saw this scene.
Zhang Yan saw the man giving muscles to a clay figure, and the clay figure, which originally had no facial features, gradually became like him.
He didn't react much either.
The two men looked at each other knowingly, and then returned to Lear's house as usual.
Li Er seemed to be getting tired of waiting: "Now that you are back, let's get down to business. Help me find the remaining two people."
The two nodded in agreement.
Seeing their cooperative expressions, Lear was quite satisfied.
…
After leaving Li Er's house, Zhang Yan went straight to Zhao Lan. Zhao Lan was not in the convoy, so Zhang Yan came to nothing.
Zhang Yan originally joined Zhao Lan's team and has not quit yet.
He realized belatedly that Zhao Lan should be on duty at the Tongtian Demon Tower.
Just as he was about to teleport away, he heard a disgruntled murmur behind him: "...I don't know what the captain has been doing these days. He's not taking care of the team, and he doesn't lead anyone to clear the tower. He's just been a hands-off boss. He's really free, unlike us who are busy as hell every day."
Zhang Yan turned around and found that the person who said this was a man with triangular eyes.
He looked perfectly healthy and had no physical disabilities.
Zhang Yan was a little surprised. Doesn’t Zhao Lan’s fleet only accept disabled people?
What happened to this seemingly healthy man?
A thin, one-armed woman next to the triangular-eyed man tugged at his clothes, her tone a little panicked: "Stop talking now, it's not good if someone hears you!"
Triangle Eyes sneered: "Am I not telling the truth?"
He yelled, as if no one could hear him. "Tell me, everyone, what's wrong with what I said? The captain goes out every day to avoid work, leaving us disabled people to earn money to support her. Do you really respect such a captain?"
The crowd began to discuss quietly, and many people had opinions about Zhao Lan's behavior over the past two days.
Because she is the captain, it is difficult to say it directly.
Now that someone has spoken out loudly, they are taking the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Triangle Eyes became even more proud. "If you ask me, we should just remove Zhao Lan from the captain position and elect a new one."
"You've made a good plan," Zhang Yan said, taking a few steps forward. "Elect a new captain? Who? You?"
The man with triangular eyes raised his head and said, "Anyone is more suitable than Zhao Lan! She just hides away and has nothing to do. Why should we listen to her?"
Zhang Yan: "Who told you she's avoiding work? She's out there to make money. As for why she's working so hard to make money, you know better than anyone else, right?"
Some people in the crowd looked guilty.
"Besides, this team was founded by Zhao Lan. What makes you think you need to change the captain? I think we should kick some people out of the team to prevent them from confusing right and wrong every day."
Zhang Yan was almost furious.
He felt at the beginning that Zhao Lan's behavior was causing trouble for herself.
Not everyone knows how to be grateful.
Zhao Lan selflessly helped them overcome their difficulties, but some people not only did not appreciate it, but instead took the lead in wanting to remove Zhao Lan from the position of captain. This is really a case of a dog biting Lu Dongbin.
From Lear, he easily learned that Zhao Lan was the person with the "kindest heart".
But he didn't understand why that man created such a kind person?
In fact, Zhao Lan's kindness reached an incomprehensible level.
No, that's not true kindness.
It was a shackle called "kindness" that bound Zhao Lan tightly, making her unable to hear the true voice of her heart and mechanically repeating things that she thought were "kind".
Zhao Lan and he shared the same fate, and he couldn't bear to watch the shackles imprisoning Zhao Lan.
He wanted to help her break free.
The crowd fell silent. Triangle Eyes rolled up his sleeves in frustration and said, "What does our team's affairs have to do with you? Who the hell do you think you are?"
If the thin woman next to him hadn't held him tightly, he would have fought with Zhang Yan long ago.
"Sun Quan, don't be impulsive! Calm down!"
The thin woman held Sun Quan's arm tightly to prevent him from hurting anyone.
"Get out of my way!" Sun Quan pushed the woman away in anger.
