Chapter 487 192 Yawen's Determination

Chapter 487 192. Yawen's determination

Yawen Heskixin stepped on the ruins and stepped through the flames. Her steps were light, but her figure seemed heavy. The cold wind blew her hair in front of her forehead, making her more confused.

[What should I do? ]

She lowered her head and looked at the lunch box she brought: it contained the meals she had carefully prepared, including the traditional famous frosted bean salad and cream-baked shrimp.

Li Aoz's favorite food is chicken stewed with potatoes, which is a specialty of Azure Star. The most authentic method requires red potatoes and native chicken from the plateau.

The ingredients for this dish are: white pepper, salt, white cheese, honey, white sugar, carrots, and sausage and bacon slices can be added according to taste.

It is usually eaten with rice, bread and rolls.

Although he is quite familiar with the categories of alcoholic beverages, Li Aoz actually doesn't like drinking. In daily life, he has no drinking habits. Li Aoz is particularly fond of carbonated drinks, especially lemon soda, with mint leaves and a small amount of ice.

Li Aoz never told her these things, so how did she know these things?

On the Azure Star, Li Aoz had broadcast live at least once. In order to understand Li Aoz, Yawen stayed up all night to watch all his live broadcasts, which mentioned the method of making this dish and his hobbies and habits.

The more she understood, the more she felt that Li Aoz was strange.

On the one hand, Li Aoz did not like to eat raw food, and the steak must be fully cooked, and the Maillard reaction must be very sufficient to get his approval.

But on the other hand, Li Aoz never cared about what dishes the restaurant served him. He never invited others to dinner or was invited by others, and advocated the AA system.

On the one hand, Li Aoz said that he had no interest in war and believed that people who loved war were crazy and had a second-year disease.

On the other hand, his way of solving problems was often to crush one side with absolute violence in war.

He had no beliefs, did not care about this consciousness, and was even indifferent to love between men and women, family and marriage.

He cares about the health and safety of infants and young children, confronts Velazi's capital group head-on, and accepts many interstellar refugees to Xinshou Village, and does not treat them as slaves and tools.

Even for those immortal adventers, Li Aoz cares about their experience and takes care of them like pets.

But.

Yawen looked forward.

At dusk, a thick fog shrouded the streets, her skin was wet with water vapor, and her eyes looked into the fog, but she could not see the end.

[In Li Aoz's eyes, do I really exist? ]

He cares about many people, takes care of many people, and is willing to draw his sword against the great powers for some people.

[... What about me? ]

Among the people that Li Aoz protected, is there still a place for Yawen Heskixin? Does he regard himself as a friend, a woman, or a passerby?

[The so-called: "You mean a lot to me", is it a comforting lie, or am I just a tool for you? ]

From Frost Plated to the Outside World, from Azure Star to White Candle Star

You fly forward all the way, and even if I chase you closely, I can't catch up with you.

Yawen stood in the middle of the crossroads, and she couldn't tell which end of the dimensional barrier was.

Should I continue to chase, for that "extraordinary meaning", chase all the way?

——The beauty and graceful body of the blonde girl appeared in front of her.

[Chase all the way, and then watch Li Oz embrace her? Then, in order to pursue his ownership, I keep moving forward and constantly transform myself, just to be worthy of him? ]

Yawen asked herself:

[Should I really do this? ]

For a moment, she suddenly remembered her own people.

She was a frost-plated person.

Even if Yinmi transformed her blood, it couldn't change her cultural identity.

[I... I shouldn't change myself for one person and become a person who lives for others. ]

Inferiority.

Yawen suddenly understood: Yinmi took away her self-confidence and made her inferior, just to make her become such a person.

Inferiority is the professional quality of the [tailor]. She is inferior to her appearance and figure, and tries to cover up her flaws with well-cut fashion.

But the more she disguises, the more inferior she becomes.

The dress is her armor. Without silk and nylon, it becomes fragile.

In the end, this layer of dress becomes her exoskeleton, supporting her body, living like a spider.

[Li Aoz would not look down on such a person, even I, I look down on such a person. ]

"Oh?"

A voice of exclamation sounded:

"Miss Yawen, long time no see."

Yawen raised her head, and a beautiful veiled woman slowly walked out of the mist. The other party's appearance was too obvious for Yawen to recognize at a glance.

"[Saint of Seeking Danger] Villia."

The other party blinked her snow-blue eyes:

"I'm so glad you still remember my name."

"How did you get here?" Yawen wondered. "It should be very dangerous here, there are dimensional barriers everywhere, and you are just an ordinary person."

"On the contrary, because I am a mortal, I came here."

Villia smiled slightly:

"I am here to gather my comrades."

"Comrades?" Yawen was puzzled: "Who are you going to deal with?"

"A [Society]." Velia said: "It seems that you don't know yet - [Mechanical Society] has gathered enough councilors on this planet, and now they are going to summon the mother body to come."

"...What does this mean?"

Yarwen clenched the bag in her hand and said in a deep voice:

"Do you mean that this planet is going to be destroyed?"

"Yes." Velia nodded: "[Mechanical Society] Mashgegan is nearby, and it will be summoned soon to eat this planet."

"This... This is too sudden, I don't believe it. Are you kidding, right?"

Yarwen pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed dryly.

"You must be kidding, right? Miss Velia."

However, Velia's eyes were very serious.

Yawen gradually stopped laughing. She looked at the other person with concern and asked in a low voice:

"Really?"

"Miss Yawen."

Villia replied:

"Do you remember what I said when we first met in the temple of Xinshou Village?"

Yawen's head buzzed, and the silhouettes of those scenes came flooding in like a tide.

…………………………

“I think you need to understand one thing, my dear fool.”

“You are now a citizen of [society]. You are not yourself at all. You can only find the meaning of life in [society].”

“Fool, citizens of [society] have no independent will. You and the natives of Xingyuan who think they are your boyfriend are not the same species at all.”

“You are pretty and capable, but you don’t live for men, you live for yourself. Yawen, I hope you can realize that [society] and Xingyuan are not good things. The battle between them has caused countless families to be broken up.”

“[Secret Society] will use the councilors to realize the advent of the deity and devour civilization, but Xingyuan wants to use your life to fill the battle line that will never end.”

“Don’t love them, don’t love grand narratives, Love yourself."

"I'm here to invite you."

"This planet has already been infiltrated by citizens of the Society. Narrative-level civilizations are also constantly paying attention to the situation here. Sooner or later, you will be discovered."

"If you are discovered by Gaia's people, they will merge your will into the ether. In that environment, you will not be able to resist at all and will immediately succumb to the Society."

"If you are discovered by narrative-level civilizations, they will not hesitate to dismantle you, destroy you, and make you into weapons and equipment."

"Even if your unrequited love, Li Aoz, knows that you are a secret citizen, he will not hesitate to draw his sword against you."

"I'm here to protect you, to protect people like you who are unwilling to succumb to secrecy and are rejected by the civilization on the Xingyuan side."

…………………………

"I remember."

Yawen's eyes are complicated.

"You said that a long time ago, four months ago."

"I should say that you are lucky." Velia nodded: "It is only the [Machine Society] that came, not the [Secret Society]. You can still keep your independent consciousness."

She looked at the other party and stretched out her hand:

"Join us, Miss Yawen. I have gathered many [social] resistance elements like you. People who don't want to be swallowed by [society] and can't integrate into Xingyuan are all here."

However, Yawen did not change her attitude immediately. She looked at Velia calmly and asked:

"Miss Velia, even if You said this in advance, what evidence do you have to prove it? "

Yawen's tone was steady, and her angle was tricky:

"You are just a mortal, neither a citizen of the [society] nor a god of the Xingyuan Road. If you can observe the movements of the [machine world society], then let me ask - those Kappa-level masters of Baizhu Star don't know, how can you, a mortal, know it?"

"It's not difficult, you will know it when you get there."

"But I want to know now."

Yawen said:

"I followed Mr. Li Aoz from the Azure Star, and no matter what, we are compatriots and comrades-in-arms. , I don't want to leave like this. "

"--It seems that you seem to have figured something out. Well, in that case, I'll tell you the truth."

Villia was very calm:

"After defeating [God of Reality] Leoz and destroying Mephidria's universe, [Society] all poured into the Star Abyss from outside the Abyss, and encountered stubborn resistance from narrative-level civilization. The overly vast Star Abyss was not the lamb to be slaughtered as [Society] imagined, nor was it a heaven-sent land with fat and honey everywhere, but a narrative-level civilization with advanced technology and terrible violence. "

"This phenomenon seems to have also caused [Secret Society】 Gaia was surprised, and it began to plan new conspiracies and strategies. But its hiddenness was not what all citizens of the society were happy to see. Those citizens who were sent out to prey on, without the leadership of the mother body, had different ideas. "

"Today's [Secret Society] is not a monolithic entity. Regarding the strategy of conquering Xingyuan, the three secret chairmen held different opinions and left one after another, each developing their own camp. "

"There is a traditionalist, the [Dominant Speaker] who adheres to the original doctrine of the secret society. He insisted that the thirteen members should be convened, and Gaia, the main body of the [Secret Society], should appear and preside over justice. "

"The whereabouts of the wavering centrist [Greedy Speaker] are unknown. But some speculate that she has a longer-term plan."

"Furthermore, there are the reformists. [Wisdom Speaker] believes that for the complex situation in the abyss, a new set of tactics should be changed. The old method of invasion-infiltration-calling members-the mother body descends-devouring civilization. This routine should be changed. Changed, and he also questioned that the [Lord Speaker] has too much power, and in the name of summoning the mother body, he is actually enriching himself. "

The secret inside is so complicated?

Arwen frowned.

As one of the thirteen members, she can be sure that she was transformed into a "tailor" because of the influence of the "Lord Speaker" group.

"So," Yawen wrote down this, and then continued to ask: "This is just a situation in the [hidden society], does it have anything to do with you?"

"Not only is it related, it can even be said that the factional turmoil in the [Hidden Society] directly gave birth to new opportunities, that is, I am a group of 'unbounded people' who independently formed the Secret Council and formed their own sect."

"The Unbounded?" Yawen repeated, "Is this your organization? But what you said is baseless and still unconvincing."

"Then let's put it another way."

Verlia said:

"The [Sailor] Igolay Matthew who rescued you on the Blue Star is one of our Unbounded Ones. The Unbounded Ones have interstellar communication capabilities comparable to narrative-level civilizations. As soon as you arrive on the White Candle Star, I will know You came."

Yawen's pupils shrank.

This secret...she has never told even Li Ozi. When she was in exile in the outside world, the former secret [Sailor] Igolay Matthew came to rescue her.

Verlia, or the organization behind her, does have a terrifying intelligence network.

"Since you know it so well, I still have a question here." Yawen said: "How much do you know about Di Yalan? Is her ability reliable?"

"You want to ask how to escape from the secret, right?" Verlia said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already experienced Di Yalan's predecessor."

"You——" Yawen was surprised: "You mean, you were also secretive?"

"That's the way it is."

Verlia said lightly:

"To be honest, my mothers participated in the Leoz Crusade. They were secret citizens resurrected by Gaia. However, it was precisely because of that battle that they deeply felt the cruelty and terror of [society]. , eating civilization alive, completely sucking it clean, and then turning back to kill the same kind of beasts - such actions made the two of them determined to leave the secret and fight against all [society]. "

"It's just that their situation is not optimistic. Gaia disappeared around a thousand years ago. Before leaving, she released all the citizens and allowed them to invade the planet and act on their own. White Candle Star was one of them. It was because of this that my mothers , got free by luck.”

"In order to protect my safety, they also transformed me into a secret citizen. I have been staying in White Candle Star for a long time, living and moving here, and studying secret citizens with the [Doctor] who also betrayed the secret. However, the accident still happened ——Just a hundred years ago, the congressmen came back with terrible weapons, killing and destroying wantonly, trying to use the white candle star as fuel to summon the hidden body. "

"I fought side by side with the mages of White Candle Star at that time, and successfully repelled the secret councilors, but I was seriously injured as a result. It was not until last year that I was resurrected and woke up. Fortunately, the [Doctor]'s experiment on me was also successful. I have been Become a human again."

"As for Dialan, that was a project planned by [Doctor] a long time ago, but his goal is not only to transform hidden citizens into mortals, but to serve as a more important weapon."

After hearing this, Yawen immediately noticed a problem.

"Wait a minute." She said: "If what you said is true, and you came to White Candle Star more than a thousand years ago and slept for another hundred years, wouldn't you be already..."

"Oh, do you care about my age?"

Verlia disagreed:

"Including the age of sleeping, I am just a three-thousand-year-old girl now."

"No, no, no, no!"

Yawen couldn't believe it:

"I have received knowledge infusion from Gaia, and I also know the common sense of magic from the Crystal Tower Civilization - in the star abyss, those who can live to three thousand years old, except for dragons, void tribes, undead and so on, Special creatures can only be achieved by narrative-level civilization, and they cannot leave the homeland.”

"Ordinary citizens of society cannot leave the matrix [of society], otherwise their life span will not last five hundred years."

"How on earth did you do it?"

"This is very simple."

Verlia said matter-of-factly:

"Before I left the [Secret Society], I was a strong man who had been re-trained nine times. Although my strength no longer exists, my personality and extraordinary lifespan are still retained."

"Reforged nine times?"

Yawen was startled:

"Isn't that the level second only to the final re-forging..."

Verlia thought for a moment and said:

"Converted to Xingyuan terms, it is the Omega level."

Yawen lowered her head and pursed her lips.

"Although I lost my strength, I also gained an independent will. I was truly saved."

Verlia, that blond girl, they were all beautiful and powerful. Standing in front of these people, she felt even more ashamed.

"[Secret] has taken away your confidence. Let's get it back."

Seemingly noticing Yawen's depression, Villia thought for a moment, then stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder:

"Join us, Yawen."

Yawen was unmoved.

"You need strength, companions, and salvation. This planet is irreversible. [Machine Society] will come at any time. I will take my comrades and resources to transfer."

Villia put one hand on her waist and thought distressedly:

"Are you thinking about that 'Mr. Li Oz' again? Why do you care about a person who doesn't love you at all, has no feelings for you, and doesn't take you seriously at all? There are many excellent people in this world. Do you have to be jealous of that person and even change yourself?"

Yawen didn't care.

"Yarwen Heskixin, you should be an independent woman. I see you growing grapes, managing the camp, building houses, and doing business by yourself. You don't need a man to take care of you. Instead, you take care of others. You shouldn't live for others."

Yarwen's eyes wandered.

"Put aside your unrealistic love and join our business. You have the ability to do so. Besides, your identity is a threat to others."

Threat.

Yarwen raised her head with a firm look:

"...I have lived for others until now."

"No need to say anything, Ms. Villia."

"I will go with you."

"But before that, I have to say goodbye first."
