Ten Days End

"Qian Wu did lie..." Qi Xia muttered to himself.

"Why?"

He told everyone his guess in a few words, and a different look appeared in his eyes.

Qian Wu may have deceived all the people in "Cat" and made them work without knowing it.

But for "Cat", for Qian Wu...

What other choice does he have?

Although the "Cat" team is small in number and everyone has a bad character, they are all excellent "Echoers".

These people may have really made mistakes in the real world, or they may have been ashamed of their families, but at this moment they are working hard for their families, and they will never regret it even if they die tragically here again and again.

This is the "road to redemption" they are looking for in the dark hell.

Qian Wu will not expose this lie, and they themselves will not expose it. Even if the members of the "Cat" team find clues in some aspects, they will definitely believe unconditionally that their families will really become rich in the future. This is probably the last line of defense to maintain their sanity for a long time.

If you think carefully about what Chu Tianqiu and Qian Wu did, you will find that their "deal" with the "Zodiac" is a very abnormal thing.

Everyone here says that the "Land of the End" is full of sinners who should go to hell. They have either committed crimes, done wrong things, or spent their lives in regret. They say that they were pulled here on the way to hell to select a "god".

It is obviously a place that sounds like everyone is a villain, but the irony is that the two people who chose to take the risk and make a deal with the "Zodiac", whether it is Chu Tianqiu or Qian Wu, did not start for themselves.

They can be more selfish and give up this choice.

Chu Tianqiu worked hard to establish an organization to provide food and help to everyone, while Qian Wu established an organization to allow everyone to become stronger and get redemption.

But in the end, the people who really have nothing are these two leaders. Chu Tianqiu has completely given up this path, but Qian Wu is still insisting.

Compared with other members of the organization, these two leaders not only did not receive any substantial rewards, but also dug out countless teammates' eyeballs as currency, and then covered their own eyes with their teammates' blood-stained hands, deceiving everyone, and finally shouldering a heavy psychological burden.

Even if everyone can be redeemed in the organization one day, these two people will not be able to go back to the past.

If there is a "cause" for this situation... then Qian Wu's cause must come from Chen Junnan, and Chen Junnan's cause comes from himself.

What about Chu Tianqiu?

Qi Xia touched his chin and felt that the answer was very obvious-his cause came from Wen Qiaoyun, and he was carrying the task that Wen Qiaoyun should have completed.

Everyone here is guarding a hope that is almost invisible.

How important is "hope" to a life that can still think?

In the 1950s, Dr. Kurt Richter, a scientist at Johns Hopkins University, once conducted an experiment on "hope".

It threw a white mouse into a bottle of water, and the mouse struggled in the water to survive. After struggling for fifteen minutes, it found that it could not survive, and finally drowned in the bottle exhausted.

Later, he improved the experiment. When the white mouse was about to drown, he reached out and picked it up, gave it a moment to breathe, and then threw it into the water again.

The experimental results also changed completely from this time. How long did the white mouse struggle after being thrown into the water again?

Not fifteen minutes, not an hour, not even a day.

It struggled in the bottle full of water for a full sixty hours, and always believed that there would be a hand to pick it up at some point, but it was a pity that it didn't wait in the end.

This is the power of "hope" to life.

As long as there is hope, even if everyone in this ghost place is drowned in deep water where they can't breathe, people will not choose to give up.

"I don't think Qian Wu lied to me." Qi Xia said, "Although he made a deal with the Zodiac, I guess even he himself doesn't know where those eyeballs are used."

"Is it possible..." Chen Junnan said, "He also knows that the abilities of the Black Tortoise are "Immortality" and "Forget Worry", would he not expect it?"

"He is very curious, but he can't figure it out." Qi Xia said, "After all, he doesn't know what the Sky Snake is doing, and there is no way to combine those eyeballs with the abilities of the Divine Beast in the first place."

"That's right, no one except a madman can think of this kind of thing, right?" Chen Junnan said"Who would dig out their eyes and put them on someone else's back?"

"Now we can basically understand the ability of the "divine beast"..." Qi Xia said, "The "Cat" brought all these people with different "echoes" together, and happened to reveal the ability of the "divine beast" to us directly. Now I think that even Xuanwu's "Exploring the Bag" ultimately comes from the "Cat." "

Qi Xia was stunned after he finished speaking, and then looked up at the street here.

"Wait a minute... If that's the case... Could this city also come from the "echo"... And it is very likely that it is the "echo" of the "Cat"..."

Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin on the side were stunned at the same time and said, ""Qiaowu"...?"

"No wonder... No wonder..." Qi Xia said with a twinkling eye, "No wonder only here can we find cities... Five cities floating on the huge void... How crazy can someone do this?"

"What... Cities floating on the void?" Chen Junnan asked, "What did you remember again? "

"This is a long story..." Qi Xia shook his head, "I suspect someone created the world out of nothingness and created a city out of thin air... because I don't have it anywhere else..."

Speaking of this, Qi Xia decisively stopped talking and swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Ah...? What do you mean by "out of thin air"...?"

"Didn't you notice?" Qi Xia came back to his senses and pointed to the dilapidated buildings here, "It's hard to distinguish the age of the buildings here. It seems that there are shops from every period. There are not only high-rise buildings here, but also farms, schools and prisons. Under normal circumstances, how could these four buildings be so close to each other? "

"It seems to have always been like this." Chen Junnan said, "Is there any problem with this?"

"No problem, but I know who built this city..." Qi Xia said, "This is really an amazing move. "
