Chapter 166 A chapter that I don’t know what to title because I can’t find a topic.
"What's going on?" Wuming knocked on Neferi's door frantically, attracting side glances from the passing servants.
Only Hyde was anxious. He stood beside Wuming, waiting for Nefeli to open the door.
Neferi has not come out of her room for a whole day, and the room prepared for Neferi is extremely solid and solid, and most people cannot break it open.
Wuming was also very anxious, and Neferi gave up her choice. Many documents were not signed, and many things were not approved. The efficiency was greatly reduced, and Wuming's business route was also affected.
"What's wrong with her?" Wuming asked Hyde.
"I don't know." Hyde was confused. "I was busy with other things. When I came back, I wanted to report to the king, but I found out that she had locked herself up."
"How could she do this? She's so irresponsible!" Wu Mingqi said, "I have so much food, can I afford to waste it?"
Wuming had no intention of being polite to Neferi, so he drew out his long sword and was about to strike at Neferi's door.
The door opened, revealing Neferi's messy face.
She only appeared at the door for a second, then grabbed Wuming and dragged him into the house.
The door slammed shut again, causing Hyde's ears to hurt.
Seeing Wuming go in, Hyde could only pray that Wuming would let Nefeli come out.
The wooden house was very dark, the candles were extinguished, and only Neferi's figure could be vaguely seen.
"Why don't you open the window? You haven't lit the lights yet. It's so dark in broad daylight." Without saying anything, Wu Ming lit a fire in his hand and lit all the lights in the door. "Hey, this is much more comfortable."
You have to let the sunshine in."
After Wuming finished lighting the lamp, he looked back.
Neferi sat wilted by the bed. She was still wearing the same armor, but it seemed that it didn't fit because of the curvature of her body.
The makeup that Hyde had put on her was also messed up, and there were a few black tears running down her eyes.
"New look?" Wuming said.
Neferi covered her face: "Ask me something."
"explain."
Neferi then told everything that had happened, in every detail, and it was almost dark after she finished speaking.
Neferi said: "I can no longer trust my adoptive father. Neither the Golden People nor the Platinum Sons believe me. I have thought about it and you are the only one who can help me answer it."
"Isn't there also Hyde?" Wuming said.
Neferi said: "I told you what happened in the city, right?"
Wuming nodded.
"A large number of enemies sneaked into the city, the magic circle failed, and the expedition team was completely wiped out..." Neferi pinched her hair, "I can't do this with strength alone. I suspect there is an evil spirit in the city, and I can't trust anyone."
"You can't even believe it in Hyde?" Wuming said.
"In the foggy forest, why did the lords retreat?" Neferi said, "Judging from the current strength of the lords' troops, they will not be massacred by the insects at all, right? How did he deal with the insects?"
Wuming was a little embarrassed: "I went with him."
Neferi said: "I trust you because you don't need to rely on conspiracy. If you have a plan, you can just come and rob it."
"You have misunderstood Hyde. It is mainly me who contributes in Wulin." Wuming whispered, "I will tell you a secret, I invited the bug."
"It's not just bugs, it's not normal for a large number of enemies to sneak into the city." Neferi said.
"Isn't that what Momochi did?"
"I told my adoptive father, but he seemed to be very dissatisfied with my guess."
"You believe it when he says it's not true?" Wuming said.
Neferi said: "I can't say that my adoptive father didn't do this. But some things are still very strange, and I can't blame my adoptive father entirely."
"What about?"
"Those eye badges." Neferi said, "My adoptive father would not be that stupid. If he really wanted to hide it, why did he leave evidence? He seemed to really not know why Enxia died there."
"My subordinates often take advantage of the situation and are lazy." Wuming said, "It is impossible for the people below to fully implement the will of the superiors."
"Is that so?" Neferi said.
She still resisted this answer, because then Baozhi would never be able to clear away the suspicion.
And she has been unilaterally cut off from contact by her adoptive father, and she cannot seek confirmation.
This was the saddest and most awkward thing for her.
At the same time, she was hostile to Platinum, Gold, and her adoptive father, and she became autistic.
She chose Nameless instead of Hyde because this was the only person with whom she could possibly find solace.
"Of course it is." Wuming smiled, "otherwise you would still be tormented like this by the conflict between gold and platinum?"
Neferi murmured: "The Platinum Sons actually don't have much lifespan. Logically speaking, I should give up on them, but I just can't let go."
Wuming said: "I see that you are not looking for me to help you with advice. I see that you have a clear idea. You just don't want to accept it. Do you want me to show you the way?"
Neferi didn't answer, so she acquiesced.
Wuming brought a chair and sat across from Neferi:
"My advice to you is - no opinion."
Neferi looked at Wuming with a somewhat pitiful look. It was hard to imagine that this was the expression that could appear on that female warrior's face.
"Don't look at me like that. I can give you some advice, but it's useless." Wuming said, "The problems you are encountering now are all hard goods. You have to chew them by yourself. I will give you a goal and give you a false will.
, you can only live a false and stable life, but cannot help you solve the problem from the root. People will always encounter such problems in their lives - without relatives and friends, they can only trek alone to find the answer."
Wuming sighed: "And I don't dare to answer this kind of question."
"Don't you dare?" Neferi said, "Is there anything else you don't dare to do?"
"I don't dare to fight anymore." Wuming said.
"I see you fight a lot."
"That kind of battle is not considered a battle to me," Wuming said. "I'm talking about risking everything, shouldering a heavy responsibility, and defeating a hopelessly powerful enemy - this kind of battle."
"Why don't you dare?" Neferi asked.
Wuming lit a cluster of flames at his fingertips:
"In my hometown, everything revolves around fire. Fire distinguishes cold and heat, life and death, light and darkness. Everything seems to be opposite and unified. No matter how powerful the light is, it cannot destroy the darkness. No matter how dark the darkness is,
No matter how powerful it is, if there is no light, there will be no darkness. Even the age of fire is opposite to the age without fire.
"And the fire will eventually go out. In order to continue the flame, some people need to be sacrificed to save others."
The flames leaped, and the shadow on the nameless helmet also twisted and jumped:
"Kill half, save half, the choice that makes you painfully entangled. In my hometown, it is the cornerstone of the continuation of the world. There is no way to change everyone's path, it is just a variation of this rule."
"Very cruel rules." Neferi said.
"And I am probably the most twisted and terrifying monster domesticated under this rule." Wuming was a little sad, "I killed those great gods to nourish the world; then I killed those heroes who were worthy of respect.
Nourish the world; then I kill all the people who are above the average to nourish the world... I don't have time or energy to think, I just repeatedly harvest all the heat sources that are above the average."
Wuming sighed: "Millicent once asked me a question, asking me why I didn't agree with bugs, but I didn't answer her directly. In fact, the reason is very simple. I have experienced repeated destruction and rebirth, but I have not seen the world change.
It’s better. In my hometown, everything is so unified with opposites. I can’t help but have this worry - am I destroying in the name of saving? Of course, I am destroying some people and saving others.
Man. I wonder, have I destroyed the future and not made the world a better place?"
Neferi understood what Wuming meant:
"Salvation will bring destruction?"
"I'm just worried that this will happen. Maybe I'm just unfounded. After all, the sages who are smarter than me have tried all methods and failed. But having this level of worry will make me worry and let me put down the butcher knife.
Business...I chose to do business. The world is not bad. It gives me time to think leisurely and room for trial and error." Wuming said,
"There is no shortage of people with missions in the world, and I was like this before. Everyone is working hard towards their mission, but has the world become a better place because of it?"
Wuming paused:
"Now do you know why I didn't give you any advice?"
Neferi sighed and nodded.
Wuming did make it clear, but it also made her more anxious.
In the name of salvation, in reality, these words caused Neferi to fall into deeper anxiety.
She was afraid that she would do something like this unknowingly.
Seeing Nefeli becoming more and more anxious, Wuming suddenly laughed:
To be continued...
