the other side.
Feng Baobao came out of the stove holding position a little confused.
"Sister Bao'er, how are you?"
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan quickly stepped forward to ask.
But his worries were obviously unnecessary.
"What can I do?"
Feng Baobao spread his hands as a matter of course, "Anyway, I can only operate according to what you said. I don't know the specific situation."
"Um...that's right."
Zhang Chulan scratched his head in embarrassment.
Nothing will happen to the person in charge of the furnace. If anything happens, it should be the one being refined in the furnace...
After Feng Baobao came out of the furnace position, the fast-running Slim furnace finally calmed down and the valve was opened again.
The three of them looked at Chen Duo coming out of the valve with a little anticipation.
Sun Haoran clenched his fists, looking forward to it.
In the original work, this broken stove was destroyed by Zhang Chulan before it could be used, and the effect was not known at all.
However, from the experiment on Liu Hongzhong just now, we can see that this stove is indeed not a decoration, but really useful.
But whether Chen Duo's condition can be cured is still unknown.
In the expectant eyes of the three people, Chen Duo silently walked out of the stove.
She stood there blankly, frowning slightly and lowering her head, as if she was sensing her physical condition.
But the result will disappoint everyone.
After a long time, Chen Duo shook his head expressionlessly: "It seems...failed..."
"Failed? How could..."
Zhang Chulan was slightly stunned and asked in disbelief.
"You don't feel wrong, do you?"
Because Chen Duo was wearing protective clothing, there was no difference in appearance between before and after she entered the furnace.
"I can't feel wrong." Chen Duo said calmly, "How could I feel wrong about my situation?"
As she spoke, she turned around and took off half of her protective clothing, but behind it was still a shocking sight.
"what happened?"
Sun Haoran frowned slightly when he saw this.
Could it be that the stove was blown up by Liu Hongzhong?
It seems impossible, because the furnace is indeed running normally.
The result shouldn't be like this.
No matter how you think about it, there should be no changes at all like now.
Which link is the problem?
"Could it be that...you don't want to become an ordinary person?"
In the end, Sun Haoran only came to this conclusion.
They had agreed to let Feng Baobao try to see if he could use the power of the Slimming Furnace to recreate his own 'miracle' on Chen Duo. In this case, Chen Duo might really be able to solve the negative problems in his body while retaining his abilities. After all, as long as the body can continue to regenerate, the erosion of Gu insects may be ignored.
However, the probability of success in such a situation is very slim. No one knows where Feng Baobao's 'miracle' came from or what the principle is, so I am afraid that even the self-cultivation furnace cannot reproduce it.
But even if Chen Duo's problems cannot be solved while ensuring that her abilities still exist, it should be possible to dispel the poison and turn her into a normal ordinary person.
There is no change at all. If the stove is not broken, then there are only two possibilities.
Either it's a problem with the person holding the furnace, or it's a problem with the person inside the furnace.
He can completely trust Feng Baobao, so it will not be Feng Baobao's problem.
Then... the only possibility is that Chen Duo himself is unwilling to accept the result of becoming an ordinary person, and uses his own Qi to resist when the stove is working.
"Do you really think... that after I become an ordinary person, I can live a good life? I am not stupid... the company will not let me go, and the strangers I offended... will not let me go either."
Chen Duo did not answer the question directly, but asked rhetorically.
But such rhetorical questions were enough for Sun Haoran to determine the reason.
"The company will..."
Zhang Chulan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But Chen Duo was faster than him: "Protect me? Say this...do you believe it yourself?"
Chen Duo looked at the three people in front of him calmly: "Thank you very much for wanting to help me... but I thought about it... I seem to have no way out..."
After saying that, she walked silently to the corner of the room and squatted down with her knees in her arms, as if waiting for something.
As Chen Duo said herself, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart.
She actually knows the situation she is in now better than anyone else.
There is no retreat.
From the moment she went to see Liao Zhong, she had already cut off her own escape route.
Liao Zhong failed to give her what she wanted, so everything was over.
She only has two choices left now, one is to be taken back by the company to be punished, the other is to die.
From the perspective of ordinary people, these two choices seem to have the same ending, but the difference is between active and passive.
It's just that Chen Duo is not normal. In her concept, she has no right to choose, so all she can do now is wait, waiting for the company's people to take her back.
"Are you waiting for us to take you back to the company for punishment after everything is over?" Sun Haoran approached, squatted down and looked directly into the emerald green eyes of the girl in front of him, and asked, "So... this is your choice?"
"..."
Chen Duo shook his head slightly, "Didn't we agree? I won't help those people. After you are done... then consider what to do with me."
"Are you trying to say...that this wasn't your choice?"
Sun Haoran smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's head, "Then what does it mean if you refuse the treatment I arranged?"
"..."
Chen Duo was silent.
"Forget it, you don't have to answer me, you just have to know it yourself..."
Sun Haoran stood up with a smile and gestured towards Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.
The two of them followed him out of the Self-cultivation Hall with confused expressions, leaving Chen Duo alone here.
"Brother...this...don't you care so much?"
After coming out, Zhang Chulan asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Isn't it right? We spent so much effort and hid it from everyone just to treat her! She's so good! She doesn't appreciate it at all? Are you going to be taken back to die like this? !?"
"Okay, don't be verbose. Actually...it's not completely without gain."
Sun Haoran shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly.
"What's the gain? Why didn't I see it at all..." Zhang Chulan curled his lips.
He just felt that they were thankless and nosy.
"Do you still remember that we speculated on Chen Duo's psychology?" Sun Haoran asked.
"Remember..." Zhang Chulan scratched his head, "Although this girl has abnormal thinking due to education, she is actually very smart and understands everything... We think Ma Xianhong may be right. This girl may want to Being treated as 'Chen Duo', I want to have the power of 'choice'..."
Halfway through his words, he froze.
"The... power of choice..."
"Yeah, that's the point."
Sun Haoran laughed.
"I see……"
Zhang Chulan touched his chin and nodded slightly, seeming to understand, "Yes, it's a 'choice'. Liao Zhong was not bad to Chen Duo. He gave meticulous care, love, and everything he could think of." He gave everything, even his life... But he only ignored that after Chen Duo regained his human needs, he still lived a life without choice... After more than ten years of being a Gu child, she suffered physical and mental pain. Maybe she has long been used to it... To her, this is normal, and the normality that Liao Zhong promised may be abnormal in her eyes.
From Gu Tong to temporary worker Chen Duo, there may be a huge difference in treatment, but when it comes to life choices, both are puppets... As for the freedom he promised, there is no way to talk about it. He doesn't have that at all. Ability gives Chen Duo freedom! No... no one is absolutely free at all, even we are just people controlled by the company... And Chen Duo may not even know what 'freedom' means! This is as absurd as promising a life of imperial luxury to a poor man who is about to die of cold and starvation! Before describing those mirages, you should prepare a piece of bread for her first!
Although Chen Duo had problems expressing emotions and language due to her special experience... but ignoring her desire for choice was the biggest mistake Liao Zhong made.
We were wrong... We all thought that Chen Duo was used to having no choice and being given choices by others, but we ignored that she had her own will. The right to choose...has always been in her hands. "
"Yes."
Sun Haoran nodded slowly, "Just like just now... Although she didn't realize it, she actually made a choice. She has her own subjective will, but this will is 'bound'. After all, in This kind of 'restraint' was the right thing to do in her previous life, so she didn't dare to admit that she was... afraid. Just like when her 'temperament' was artificially wiped out during her time as a Gu child, she was afraid. Make your own choices.”
"But she...still did it?"
Zhang Chulan asked hesitantly.
"Yes, even though she was scared, she still chose to refuse."
Sun Haoran smiled, "This is just like Liao Zhong awakening her temperament. It is a good start... The shackles that bind her may have cracks. This is what I call 'harvest'."
"So what do we do next?"
Zhang Chulan asked.
"If we divide Chen Duo's life into three stages, then the first stage is as a Gu boy, and the second stage is as a temporary worker, then what is the third stage?" Sun Haoran asked.
"That's probably... just like me, as a normal 'person'." Zhang Chulan answered this obvious answer without thinking.
"Yes, she's lucky. Unlucky guys don't get so many chances for a new life."
Sun Haoran smiled helplessly, "This is her second rebirth, and we are going to be the 'adults' who prompted her 'birth'. Zhang Chulan, if your child makes a certain 'choice', as a 'My lord', do you support or oppose it?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhang Chulan also smiled helplessly.
Sun Haoran seemed to have remembered something, and looked up with emotion at the night sky dyed red by the flames.
This situation is more like a burning night.
But it was the fire churning from the ground.
"Let me tell you a story... There was one day when the end of the world seemed to be coming. Tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, everything heralded the coming of disaster. The flames raging underground kept rising toward the ground, and in the fire There was a girl who was about to burn out.
She is a girl who believes she is a 'monster'..."
"Monster?" Zhang Chulan was a little confused.
Aren't they discussing Chen Duo's affairs...
"Yes, 'monster'." Sun Haoran nodded calmly, "This girl believes that she is a monster, the world is about to be destroyed, and a righteous Ultraman will come to kill her."
"After killing her... will the world be saved?" Zhang Chulan complained speechlessly.
"No, because she is innocent, and the destruction of the world has nothing to do with her." Sun Haoran spread his hands helplessly.
"So brother, what exactly... do you want to say?" Zhang Chulan scratched his head in confusion.
"If you are a relative, friend or parent of this girl, and you happen to have the ability to make Ultraman violent. When this girl chooses to believe that she is a monster, but prays that Ultraman will not kill her, you What will you do?"
"Isn't this also nonsense?" Zhang Chulan curled his lips, "Of course it means punching Ultraman away."
"So Chen Duo is the same as this girl now."
Sun Haoran explained calmly, "She chose to accept her fate as a 'monster' and is ready to face the coming destruction... Do you dare to say that she has no desire for such an ending to change?"
"Don't dare..."
Zhang Chulan seemed to understand something, "So let's change."
"That's right. She chose to accept her 'fate', and all we have to do is change this 'fate'." Sun Haoran chuckled.
"It's quite simple..." Zhang Chulan smiled bitterly.
"Isn't it that simple?"
Sun Haoran spread his hands helplessly, "The script has been written a long time ago. She doesn't know that she is the protagonist in the story now. She only knows that she is a 'monster' and is ready to face her fate alone. What we have to do Just as discussed before..."
"Appearing as a 'hero' to save the world, changing what she thought was her 'destiny' and at the same time planting a 'seed' in her heart."
Zhang Chulan murmured, "In her story, the 'hero' may have always been the late Liao Zhong. In other words, she will not trust anyone except Liao Zhong. Just like she does not believe that the company will It's like letting her go and protecting her because she lost her power... But Liao Zhong is already dead. Only by planting such seeds can we possibly shake Liao Zhong's status. If we are the 'hero' in the story and have the corresponding ' Power' will naturally lead her to a 'happy' ending."
"In that case, what are you waiting for, brother?"
Seeing that Zhang Chulan had already figured it out, Sun Haoran laughed and said, "Go to work quickly!"
"ah?"
Zhang Chulan was stunned.
