Ten Days End

My name is Yan Zhichun.

I am the "King of Extreme Dao".

The ancients said: There are 360 ​​professions, each with its own ways, and those who reach the pinnacle are called "Extreme Dao".

Taoism also said: There are 3,000 great ways, and all of them can lead to the gods.

But the meaning of "Extreme Dao" is to give up all other great ways and only practice one.

But the road we are practicing will go against all the ways, isn't it too dangerous?

My life did not change when I entered the "Land of the End", but when I opened my eyes and saw the Aries, everything was destined.

Although there were always three "zodiac signs" standing in our interview room, an Aries, a Shar Pei, and a sheep, we can only remember the Aries.

The remaining two "zodiac signs" don't even need to say anything, we will lose to the cold Aries one after another.

The name of this game that appeared at the beginning is "Liar". The nine of us present need to tell a story that happened before coming here, and then find out the liar among us.

It sounds like a simple game, but in fact, none of the nine of us know each other.

We have different identities, occupations, hometowns and work styles. How can we know if they are lying in their stories?

It is difficult for me to explain how much ingenuity the Aries used in this game. I can't remember how many times we died in this game. After all, before Aries taught me to manipulate "echo", I couldn't keep my memory at all.

Ironically, none of the nine of us are powerful "echoes", which means that we have no way to save our memories. We start over every time and make the same choices in the game.

If there is no external interference, we will only repeat what we said before, vote at random, and eventually die tragically.

I saw the clues of this game from the beginning. I told them that since the eight of us didn't know each other, the liar was most likely the referee "Human Sheep", but I was not very good at communicating with people, and I could never convince the others...

My supporter was only a middle-aged man named Zhang Qiang.

But even if Zhang Qiang and I voted for the Human Sheep, it would be useless. We were outnumbered and would still die. This feeling was too powerless.

I often wondered why that strange Aries was willing to help me?

In his game, each of us would get our own identity card, but he wrote a paragraph on my "identity card".

He was teaching me how to use my emotions correctly to get "echoes". I don't know how many times he wrote this paragraph, and I don't know how many times he revised it, and finally it became what it is now.

But at that time, I was really curious. As the host in the room, as a person who surpassed us in all aspects from physical fitness to IQ, wasn't everything he did to kill us?

Otherwise, why did he host this game of creating "God"? Why did they bring us together from all over the country?

But that Aries really helped me. He found the opportunity for me to "echo".

As long as I try to control those who oppose me, I will get my own "echo", which is called "heart-stealing".

This is an opportunity that runs counter to what I did before. I have met a lot of people who oppose me in my life, but I never bothered to persuade them.

Aries told me that my "echo" is not strong enough now, and it can barely "take the heart". If one day I can "take the soul", I will have the same ability as the "god" of this place.

From the day I "echoed", I knew many things that I had never known before.

For example, after I learned about the game "Liar", there are even "Mushrooms after the Rain" and "Death from the Sky". I also learned that Aries would commit suicide after the first game. I even found the "Zodiac Ascension Betting Contract" on his body, and learned what he has been pursuing all along -

He doesn't want us to die in the room, but instead wants us all to go out and take risks, and then completely disappear from the room.

It's a pity that his name is always blocked by deep red blood at the end of the contract, and I don't know what to call him.

He has a cold voice and always wears an Aries mask, so why not call him "Brother Yang"?

Although the two games "Mushrooms after the Rain" and "Death from the Sky" are equally difficult for me, I have a huge advantage.

That is, everyone in the room will be controlled by me, and then make the same movements as me. Coincidentally, no matter whether we turn the table together,Still hanging on the ceiling, in these two games, as long as the "participants" can make the same movements as me, there is a high probability that they can survive.

I don't need to discuss with them, nor do I need to listen to what they say, just let them do it.

In this way, I can successfully use my "Heart-stealing" to lead everyone out of the room, and then walk through the long corridor to this mysterious place.

Unfortunately, because I have to forcibly control the remaining eight people to stand here, they have a deep grudge against me. As soon as they came to the city, they all stayed away from me and started their own adventures.

My experience is no different from that in the real world. I will always be isolated.

Walking on the dark street, I raised my finger and looked at what I wanted to say to myself when I was sixteen years old-"YNA".

But am I really not alone?

Although I don't want to admit it, people in this world will isolate you for any reason.

A poor family will isolate you, a wealthy family will isolate you, studying too well will isolate you, and studying too poorly will still isolate you.

It's not good to work too hard, and it's not good to be too lazy. It is not good to be too opinionated, nor is it good to be too opinionless.

They cannot accept people who are too different from themselves, whether the difference is positive or negative. People hope that you are not obviously different from them, so that you can be considered "the same kind of people" and they will want to "make friends" with you.

So if people want to fit in, they can only become mediocre.

It's a pity that I realized this truth too late. When I was a child, in order to fit in and have enough topics to talk about with other classmates, I once spent time watching animations or idol dramas that I didn't like; I also used to be a fan of idol groups that all the girls in the class were chasing in order to fit in.

But what is the meaning of all these things that I wasted a lot of time on?

I have some regrets that my life actually needs to be lived to accommodate others, and the friendship that needs to be humiliated and compromised is not friendship at all.

Later, Brother Yang told me that there are only a few elites in the world. If you become mediocre in order to fit in, you will be lost in the crowd one day, become one of the vast number of people, and become the most common type of person in the world.

A few years later, Yang Ge told me that we should try to surpass the "masses" and stand at the top of the pyramid.

The top of the pyramid must require the least bricks.

This is the same as what I thought. To be honest, I don't need friends or teammates. I have a clear understanding of my life and I just need to do what I want to do.
