Chapter 371 Second Cycle (Sixteen)
A sigh sounded in my ear, "When did you find out my identity?"
Yun Zhao did not answer it, but turned to look at Xie Tu.
He was looking at her too. Their eyes met, and different emotions flashed in their eyes.
Seeing his reaction, Yun Zhao knew that he couldn't hear, just like the sound of turning pages in the No. 28 contaminated zone, which only she could hear.
"When it was confirmed that the register was missing."
In front of Xie Tu, Yun Zhao slowly said, "I have seen the information of all the survivors on the island. They were filled out by Qi Ling through questioning. Only a few people registered themselves."
"And you are one of them."
Qi Ling said that.
This person is socially awkward, not good at communicating with others, and can't get a single question out without stammering.
Qi Ling didn't think much of it at the time and handed the pen and register to Yu Jie so that he could fill them out himself.
The gatekeeper lived in the Dark Ages.
ID cards no longer existed in that era.
Unaware of the number format, it easily obtained the registration book and, based on the format referenced by predecessors, was naturally able to fabricate and fill in false information.
Yun Zhao: "Not only that, you also gave us the key. You said you have social anxiety, but that's just an excuse not to communicate with others."
It is hidden among the masses, with no sense of presence.
It stays hidden in its room all day, so no one pays any attention to it.
It was also particularly cunning, having been observing her ever since Team Zero came in. Knowing that she liked strawberry milk, it used Xiao Renxin to divert her attention again.
After the words were spoken, a moment of silence followed.
moment.
“If I hadn’t shown myself, you would never have been able to find me.”
The voice, which had been indistinguishable between male and female, suddenly became clear; it was a very clear male voice.
"You misjudged the time by nearly half an hour. If you had been two minutes slower, you would have lost."
After she came out, she built a barrier to shield herself from the outside world.
I woke up from a nap without noticing how much time had passed, and only roughly estimated that eight hours had gone by before I started timing myself.
What they meant by "only one hour left" was actually only about twenty minutes left.
Yun Zhao responded with an "oh," his attitude somewhat perfunctory. "Really? But I only care about the result. The result is that I found you, I won, and you have to fulfill the bet."
Gatekeeper: "Don't you want to know why I showed myself?"
Does it matter?
"important."
Yun Zhao: "Then you speak."
The person on the other end seemed speechless at her words. After a second or two, they forcibly suppressed their emotions and asked, "You are clearly a Dark Guide, so why do your spiritual threads possess purifying power?"
The gatekeeper's voice was full of doubt.
In the Abyss, the only power she displayed was devouring; her spiritual threads ceaselessly consumed dark matter.
But just now, the gatekeeper sensed the pure purifying power, which made it feel threatened, yet it also involuntarily stepped out.
Yun Zhao paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at Xie Tu.
Xie Tu seemed to see through her thoughts, pursing his thin lips and staring at her intently.
"Don't worry about him, you can communicate with me through your spiritual form."
The gatekeeper could not penetrate the guide's mental barrier; she could not communicate with him unless she removed her own barrier.
Yun Zhao did as he was told, and through the large bluebird circling in the air, he said, "I won the bet, so it's my turn to ask you questions."
She continued, "The first question is, tell me, how do you distinguish between a Light Guide and a Dark Guide?"
The gatekeeper let out a low laugh. "Dark guides are very easy to identify. This group has extremely domineering mental power, and their fluctuations carry a strong sense of oppression. They are eccentric, good at hiding themselves, and can easily penetrate into the mental world of others, disrupting and controlling their thoughts."
— Spiritual pull.
That's a unique ability of the Dark Guide.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhao felt that it resonated with him quite a bit.
The little bluebird has been very domineering since it awakened, and the sentinels are all afraid of it.
She can indeed easily control mutants, and if she wanted to, she could probably easily control Sentinels as well.
As the gatekeeper spoke, a sense of bewilderment crept into his voice again. "As for the Light Guide, I have never seen one. I have been waiting for the Light Guide to appear."
It couldn't understand why the Dark Guide's spiritual threads possessed purifying power.
It wants to understand all of this, but doesn't know how.
Because the person involved knows nothing and is even more confused than the person in question.
Yun Zhao then fell silent.
She really didn't know what was going on, but that wasn't the most important thing right now.
"Let's get back to the main topic."
She paused, then said, “Tell me the truth as you know it, including… what my father actually told you.”
The sea breeze howled from the watchtower, and fluorescent lights enveloped the sea before them.
Yun Zhao noticed that the gatekeeper liked to sigh, and she heard him sigh again.
“You look a lot like her,” the gatekeeper said.
Yun Zhao: "Who? A red-crowned crane?"
Gatekeeper: "Yes, her name is Shen Ying."
Yun Zhao was slightly taken aback; the gatekeeper did indeed recognize the red-crowned crane.
"If I told you that the price of knowing the truth is death, would you still be so eager to uncover the truth?"
The gatekeeper said, "Shen Ying was like you at first, but she regretted it. She felt that she was the one who caused her companions to die tragically. Do you want to follow in her footsteps?"
It seemed to be lost in memories, "Actually... none of us blame her. Sacrificing for the right thing is the most humane thing we can do."
“But you’re different. You still have a choice. Look at the man beside you, look at the sentries standing below. Do you want them to die because of you?”
“After all, you are not… a guide of light.”
When it said these words again, it lacked the previous certainty, and its tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
Is it possible that... she is both a guide to darkness and a guide to light?
The goalkeeper was surprised by his own idea, and then immediately rejected it.
impossible!
How can darkness and light coexist?!
Yun Zhao was so disturbed by its words that it would be an exaggeration to say that he was completely shaken.
Will I die if I find out the truth?
She instinctively grabbed the railing and looked down.
On the parade ground, the teammates and the Fuhe squad had already finished moving the ammunition. A group of people stood next to the armored vehicle with weapons in hand, alert to any movement around them.
The sentries have excellent eyesight.
The rabbit, in particular, kept an eye on what was happening on the watchtower.
Noticing that Yun Zhao was watching them, the rabbit jumped up and waved to her sister Yun Zhao.
Her teammates followed suit, looking up at her with worried expressions, seemingly not understanding why she hadn't come down yet.
Yun Zhao abruptly looked away, her eyelids lowered, her long eyelashes trembling.
"What's wrong?" Xie Tu, who was standing next to her, immediately noticed that something was amiss.
Her expression was off.
What exactly did the gatekeeper say to her?
Yun Zhao snapped out of his daze and looked up to meet his gaze.
The man stood tall and straight like a pine tree, firmly in front of her, his deep eyes as black as ink, his gaze fixed on her.
Upon learning the truth... will he and his teammates die?
Yun Zhao suddenly felt a strong urge to hug him.
In fact, she did just that.
Yun Zhao threw herself into Xie Tu's arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Xie Tu's hands froze in mid-air, somewhat unaccustomed to her sudden embrace. After a moment, he lowered his hands and hugged her back.
He always possesses a unique aura that keeps all unsettling factors at bay.
It was just a brief embrace.
Yun Zhao seemed to have figured it out.
She released Xie Tu's embrace and looked intently to the southeast.
"You're wrong. All of humanity's efforts are for the sake of a truth. Only by finding the truth, finding the source, can this world be ended."
The barrier opened instantly, blocking all senses.
Two voices rang out simultaneously, as if in surround sound, their tone brimming with arrogance.
Yun Zhao: "Idiot, how could we possibly die?"
Qingluan: [Fool, how could we possibly die?]
They have a deep understanding of the art of making choices.
Even when the wind rises, it is a deliberate act of hoisting the sails.
