Qin Zhilu stared at him for a long time, "So - not only did you refuse to kill me, you also refused to merge the chaos body and the order body."
"Yes." An Yu paused, feeling a little sore from being pressed by him. He arched his waist upwards and added seriously: "I'm telling you this, and I'm not asking for your consent. I don't Accept your blend, no matter what you think.”
"Even if my existence will make all life in this world fall?"
"Yeah. That has nothing to do with me."
"Human civilization and emotions will also be destroyed."
"I know." An Yu blinked slowly, "Maybe confessing these things will affect your opinion of me, but...sir, those things are not as real as a piece of rusk to me."
Seeing that Qin Zhilu was silent, he argued in a low voice: "Human civilization is about to be exhausted. Since the disaster in 2122, human beings thought they were great and have been giving in. Ling Qiu said, civilization Destined to be wiped out in disaster."
Qin Zhilu smiled when he heard this. He leaned over and kissed An Yu's forehead, "No, on the contrary, civilization progresses precisely in disasters."
He stood up and adjusted the projection back to the bright and dazzling world map.
"Once upon a time, primitive people used spears to fight each other, and later they turned into swords, guns, missiles, and viruses. Technology and weapons have been upgraded, but civilization has never progressed.
"On the contrary, after that special snowstorm, the Spark Act, which determined the principle of dividing the main city and the bait city, was voted by 90% of the population at that time. The lawful people took the lawful oath, and the first batch of brain scientists began to work on themselves. Since then, he has carried out genetic experiments, and now, Bai Cheng has used his body as bait to burn himself to bury the fire... It is through these self-sacrifice that human civilization has finally begun to move forward again.
"Civilization always progresses in disasters. As long as human beings are not extinct and the sparks are still alive, this is an effective civilization evolution."
[Law is right. 】
Deep in An Yu's consciousness, Dian responded softly.
An Yu lowered his eyes and said after a while, "But this still has nothing to do with me."
"I know." Qin Zhilu turned around and looked at him with tender eyes, "I don't know if you are the so-called turning point, but that is not important anymore. I just hope that you will not be bound or burdened by anything. Live on earth. Are you sure about this choice?"
"It won't change, sir."
"Then -" Qin Zhilu took a deep breath and sighed, "Since you are unwilling to kill me, just let me go."
Although this was An Yu's plan, An Yu still felt his heart tightening the moment Qin Zhilu spoke.
"Where are you going?" he asked subconsciously.
"I don't know. I can't stop the fragments of chaos from gathering towards me, I can't resist the integrity and awakening of the chaotic body, and I can't guarantee how long I can hold on to my will." Qin Zhilu paused slightly, "So I will find a way out Maybe a safe little corner to hide yourself from the world as much as possible.”
An Yu didn't know where the safest possible corner was, or whether there was such a place in the world.
But he knew that this was the best outcome his dear commander could get.
"Okay." He lowered his eyes and reached out to hold Qin Zhilu's hand.
"Peace and freedom to you," he murmured, "my sir."
Teach me the people I love.
*
A few days after Qin Zhilu left, An Yu suddenly realized that that seemed to be his last meeting with his superior.
He gave that person the freedom he had never had in his life, but he also lost him forever.
"So, if you have never been loved, have never loved anyone else, and lack love experience, you will end up like this." Zhaoran was sitting on the sofa, tearing off the petals of rose flowers and playing with them, laughing at him and saying, "You should be with him Let’s go together, stay here by yourself, and write an explanation report to the Black Tower, isn’t it stupid?”
An Yu's wrist hurt from writing. He threw away the commander's pen and crumpled up the illogical report in front of him.
"We can't go together. Maybe he will lose his will eventually, and the moment before he loses it, he will take advantage of me not paying attention to get my genes..." An Yu shook his head and explained in a low voice, "In short, as long as I am around, he will It will definitely lead to self-destruction.”
Zhaoran said, "So you are saying that you are more willing to accept that Qin Zhilu, a monster, is alive somewhere in the world?"
An Yu nodded seriously and asked, "What happened to the monster Qin Zhilu?"
"Uh." Zhaoran's smile froze, "No...you really don't care?"
An Yu was confused, "Why do you care? What happened to the monster?"
Zhaoran recalled the freaks he had seen and tried to describe what he imagined: "It's ugly, he looks messy, but he can control the wind and rain. You and he don't understand each other's language. You pull him and say you love him, and he opens his mouth. A sticky liquid dripping down..."
An Yu frowned when he heard this.
He felt that Zhao Ran still hadn't understood that even if it was "Chaos", that body was still a part of him. In a sense, it was a god, not one of those ugly monsters whose genes were deranged due to aberrations.
Moreover, he secretly guessed that even if the commander lost his human form, it would probably be a large, disorderly, fluctuating red light. In the past few days, he would occasionally dream of that mass during his naps.
It looks bright and warm, and although it's chaotic, it's actually quite cute.
"..." Zhaoran looked at the smile on his lips, her eyes suddenly full of admiration, "The taste is unique."
An Yu could hear something strange, but he didn't have the energy to delve deeper into it. After Qin Zhilu was released, the Black Tower almost exploded. If humans hadn't still relied on him, he believed that he would have been taken to the military headquarters and shot. A loudspeaker would have been used to amplify the sound of the gunfire ten thousand times. That kind of murder.
Fortunately, there are no ifs in the world, and humans still have to rely on him.
After Dingfeng dropped the sentence "I am very disappointed in you" that did not arouse any sense of guilt in him, he only asked him to submit an explanation report as soon as possible, and requested that the report fully restore Qin Zhilu's behavior before he let Qin Zhilu go. All words and deeds.
After An Yu wrote several pages about his entanglement and kiss with his superior, he still felt that the style of this report was strange. Several pieces of the skin on his lips were torn off by his teeth, and he still didn't know where to start.
It's a pity that the person who wrote reports for him in the past is no longer here. Before that person left, he bit his old scar with his teeth. The residual pain behind his ears kept reminding him of what he whispered in his ear before he left. Say "I love you".
"You are the one who wrote the report until I blushed." Zhaoran yawned, "However, after Qin Zhilu left, the trend of abnormality has subsided a lot."
"Um."
Not only the main city, but also the bait city where Ming Deng set himself on fire did not suffer as quickly as expected.
The abnormal tide suddenly faded away as if it had lost its power, and most of them disappeared without a trace. The main city even tried to restore part of the electromagnetic supply. I don't know whether the abnormal tide really lost interest in this place, or whether the dome took effect again. Anyway, it did not trigger any disaster.
Dian said that it was because the main body of the chaotic body was exposed and all the fragments were converging towards Qin Zhilu, so the world was temporarily safe.
Just the calm before the storm.
[As a container, I can only permanently contain the eye. The chaos that had been temporarily sealed in the polar regions, oceans, and swamps had left, and probably converged on Law. 】
An Yu responded in his heart, there was no surprise and no disturbance.
Even if it is the calm before the storm, as long as the storm has not yet come, there is no need to think too much.
——You can live one day at a time. This is the slum philosophy that he has believed in throughout his life.
Until a few days later, Tang Feng and Zhu Tao, who were supposed to return, suddenly made an emergency video call and came back.
An Yu, who had never recovered from a cold due to exhaustion, was woken up from his sleep and answered the phone in a daze.
On the screen, Tang Feng looked pale, Zhu Tao had collapsed in his arms from exhaustion, and the grape vines were wrapped around his neck listlessly.
"An Yu, the rift in the wasteland is getting deeper and deeper into the earth's crust. We are no longer able to continue tracking it."
An Yu was stunned for a while and then said: "Then come back. Isn't there no large-scale abnormal tide?"
"But we have discovered a large number of human figurines deep in the earth."
"Human figurines?"
"The human figurines are as tall as the depth of the rift valley. They are dead creatures that were stirred into the earth. They are arranged on both sides of the rift valley, leading to unfathomable places in the depths."
Tang Feng paused, "We couldn't go deep, but the terminal detected..."
"What was detected?"
"His breath."
Zhu Tao in Tang Feng's arms opened his eyelids weakly and said in a hoarse voice, "It's Lu. Even if the terminal doesn't recognize it, my Ye Zi can recognize it. It can't be wrong."
An Yu was stunned.
He did not expect that the "little corner of the world" mentioned by Qin Zhilu would come into people's sight so easily.
He was a little panicked for a moment, until the voice sounded deep in his consciousness.
[It finally arrived. 】
--What?
An Yu asked.
[Qin Zhilu’s second card—the fate card he gave himself]
[The noble man will eventually be bound to the rack of innocence. 】
The author has something to say:
【Snowflakes】Qin Zhilu (4/4) Cannot be Escaped
I once thought that collapse and death would be my end.
It is also fate's only mercy to me.
But this time it was he who said to me: No.
Because of that pleading, crying "no".
I just let go of my hand,
I gave up and finally reached the relief in front of me.

[The Innocence Rack is the cage that Ritsu built for himself. On the rack, they may remain silent forever, or they may wait for the judgment to come. 】
[It is your fate to judge him. 】
An Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the little octopus man who was flipping through the book on the terminal.
——Dian, since when did you start calling me "you"?
[That's my subconscious. 】
[The cognitive body is complete, and awe comes to you. 】
