Ten Days End

"I see you are getting more anxious every day." Jiang Ruoxue put her hand on my shoulder. "When we first met, your eyes were not so lost."

"I don't know." I shook my head. "I just felt that I stopped... Although time stopped in this place, I know that I didn't stop... But now... I feel that I have stopped too."

"Do you really want to achieve this goal?" She asked again with a serious face, "Even if it is very hard... Even if it costs a lot, it doesn't matter?"

I am familiar with this expression. Whenever Jiang Ruoxue gets serious, she can always say something I can't expect.

"I can help you." Jiang Ruoxue said again out of the blue.

"Aren't you always helping me?" I smiled bitterly.

"No... This kind of "help" has a different meaning." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head. "Once I choose to help you from a higher level, it means that I have completed my mission."

"What do you mean...?" I didn't quite understand Jiang Ruoxue's words. "Your "mission"?"

"Do you still remember...?" "Jiang Ruoxue smiled and pinched my face, "The reason why I can appear here for five consecutive years is because I feel that you need me. Once I help you complete this matter, my mission is completed, and you no longer need me, and "cause and effect" will not make us meet. "

"What...?" I was stunned.

"If you want to meet each other at that time, you can only rely on real "fate." "Jiang Ruoxue smiled, "Our birth points are far apart, almost at the two ends of this city, it is not so easy to meet. "

"I don't understand..." I frowned and looked at her, "Ruoxue...you can obviously help me directly in other ways, but are you willing to waste five years?"

"Waste...? No, no, no." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head, "Zhichun, everything in this world follows "cause and effect". If there is something that cannot follow "cause and effect", then as long as "infer the cause from the effect", you can get the answer. ”

After five years of getting along, I can roughly understand what Jiang Ruoxue said.

“You mean… these five years are also counted as “cause and effect”? ”

“Of course.” Jiang Ruoxue nodded, “These five years are not a waste of time. My appearance has made you more cheerful and happy. Now I tell you that this method will be much better than five years ago. The success rate of “cause and effect” will be higher. I believe that you can complete this task without me. This is the “cause and effect” I follow, and it is also the inevitable “cause and effect” of all things. ”

Although I understand, I don’t want to understand.

“You mean once you help me solve this matter… you can’t act with me anymore?” I asked again.

“It’s not that absolute.” Jiang Ruoxue smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Zhichun, this city is not small, and it is not easy to accurately find a person in it. Once I remove the “cause and effect” that brought us together and choose to use it to help you build an organization, it will be even more difficult for us to meet, that’s all. "

After she finished speaking, she seemed to notice that I was not happy, and she smiled wickedly and said, "After all, we don't know each other's mobile phone numbers, so we can't contact each other at ordinary times, right?"

I was not in the mood to joke with her, and just asked with a look of disappointment, "What are you going to do then?"

"I will help you at the other end of the city." Jiang Ruoxue replied, "You yourself said that this organization does not need "cooperation", and everyone is fighting alone. In this case... then we will act separately and recruit members at both ends of the city. There is no need to communicate with each other. Maybe one day this organization will be extremely powerful."

"But you... how can you help me?" I asked.

I saw Jiang Ruoxue take a step forward, stand in front of me, then hold my hand, take a deep breath and slowly say:

"Yan Zhichun, it is not difficult to establish an organization. You just need to understand the logical relationship between them. "

After she finished speaking, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She paused for a few seconds and then said:

"Next, as long as you tell the truth with your heart and never lie, the other party will believe everything you say."

I felt that Jiang Ruoxue's situation was a bit strange. After just a few words, beads of sweat slid down her face, as if she was exhausted.

After she finished speaking, she quickly let go of my hand, bent down and took a few deep breaths, then wiped the sweat off her face and said, "What a big organization this is... Why is it so tiring?"

"Are you okay?" I looked at her with some concern.

"Don't worry." She smiled at me weakly, "Zhichun, now you have the potential to be a "king", then it will be a matter of course. "

"So what did you do...?"

"Nothing, just told you the "cause and effect" that will inevitably happen." She took a few deep breaths and asked me again, "So, what should this organization be called?"

"Name..."

"Yes." Jiang Ruoxue calmed her breath and said to me, "We are partners now, and I also want to win over my companions. How can I not know the name?"

At this time, I lowered my head and thought about the organization we are going to establish.

Next, we will take a completely different path. In fact, it is not just us. Every "participant" here seems to have his own path.

Some of them can participate in the game with peace of mind, some set up gangs with great fanfare, and some gamble their lives with the "Zodiac" in the game. Some even put on masks and became "Zodiac".

There is a proverb in Rome, called "All roads lead to Rome", but I don't like this saying. Although it is simple and straightforward, it lacks some artistic conception.

I prefer the Taoist saying "There are three thousand great ways, all of which can lead to the gods".

We must give up all other possibilities, deviate from the main way, and only cultivate one. Not only that, we must also reach the peak of this only way, which is destined to be an extreme route with no way back.

People who do this have a special name in Taoism, they are called -

"Jidao." I said.

"Jidao"...?"

"Yes, our organization is called "Jidao." I looked at Jiang Ruoxue and said, "Everyone who joins the organization is a "Jidao". The goal of the organization is to "protect the end of the world". We need these people to take "Jidao" as a belief throughout their lives. Since everyone does not know each other, the code for recognition is set as "Long live Jidao." "

After that reincarnation, Jiang Ruoxue, just as she said, never appeared at the place where I was born to wait for me.

Her identity changed from a friend who talked about everything with me to a partner who was difficult to meet from a distance.
