Ten Days End

That is, seven years ago, "Jidao" was officially established.

I guess that few people who join "Jidao" in the future will believe that such a huge and mysterious organization as "Jidao" was established by Jiang Ruoxue and I standing on the street and talking to each other.

After Jiang Ruoxue left, I completely understood what "cause and effect" is.

Jiang Ruoxue may be the most powerful "echo" I have seen in the past five years.

If she determines the "result" of a thing, then the "cause" leading to this result will inevitably occur.

If she first explains a "cause", then this "cause" will inevitably produce the "result" she expects.

It's just that every time she has to find a logical relationship that can convince herself and can really happen. The bigger the thing, the more difficult it is for her.

And I finally understand that the five years she and I have been together are a test.

She is not only observing me, but also subconsciously building this powerful "cause and effect" relationship.

Until she thinks the time is right, she will speak out the "cause and effect" that she has been thinking about for a long time.

In other words, in the past five years, as long as I did anything that did not satisfy Jiang Ruoxue, we would always be just good friends, and she would never be able to start the "cause and effect" and build the "Jidao" for me overnight.

So which is the "cause" and which is the "effect"?

Is it because I want to build the "Jidao" that she appeared... or is it because of her appearance that I can build the "Jidao"?

The entanglement between cause and effect is the most difficult thing in the world to explain.

Some people are entangled in whether the chicken or the egg came first in the world, but I think the chicken and the egg appeared at the same time in the entanglement and walked towards the future together.

Thanks to Jiang Ruoxue, I can now carefully select strong people. As long as I tell them the truth, they will directly believe the "truth" of this city.

I also used some negotiation skills and observation methods to try to select some outliers who act eccentrically and keep to themselves, so that when they make extraordinary actions, people usually think that these people are like this, and will not think that they have an organization at the first time.

Actually, there is one thing I still don't understand. Jiang Ruoxue once told me, "As long as you tell the truth with your heart and never lie, the other party will believe everything you say."

The most interesting word in this sentence is "truth".

How should I understand this "truth"?

I told everyone that as long as 3,600 "Dao" were collected, the place would be reshuffled. The other party believed me, so what I said was the "truth"?

In this case... can't I use this sentence to "detect the future"?

In other words, I can test whether what I say is the "truth" by what I say to everyone. As long as the other party believes me, because "cause and effect" exists, what I say is true. If the other party does not believe it, then what I say is a lie.

This sounds really abstract, but I have tried it many times.

I once told someone that "Jidao" would lead everyone to escape from the "End of the Land", but the other party did not believe it.

I said that the founder of "Jidao" would work with the ruler here one day, but the other party still did not believe it.

These are all lies.

It seems that being able to detect the future is not a good thing sometimes. I often fall into disappointment about the future in advance.

I don’t know if it is the side effect of "cause and effect" on me, or the retribution for my prying into the secrets of heaven, I often feel weird, and I seem to be distracted suddenly.

I clearly remember that I was walking on the street that day, but the next second I was sitting in front of a building, and not far away was a human-level "Zodiac".

I had this feeling about three years ago, and it happened again today.

I always feel like something is missing in my brain, but according to my experience, this feeling will soon disappear.

I looked at the "Zodiac" in the distance. He stood quietly in front of a building, staring at the ground in front of him thoughtfully.

I seemed to think of something, so I took a few steps forward.

Sure enough, he finally appeared.

After five years... He finally appeared here. It turned out that I was not distracted, but I was pulled here by him.

But I am a little curious... I have also read the contract of "Zodiac Ascension Betting". As long as all the people in the interview room disappear, he will become "Earth Level". Why is he still a "Human Sheep" now?

"Brother Sheep..." I called softly.

His mask is exactly the same as five years ago, and his figure is also the same, but he looks very listless.

The Human Sheep in the distance raised his head and used a pair of familiar yet unfamiliar eyes to look at him.He looked at me from head to toe, and after a few seconds, he lowered his head as if he didn't see anything.

What happened...? He didn't recognize me?

"Aries?" I walked a few steps forward and called again.

At this time, he finally responded, as if he was sure that I was calling him, so he raised his head and looked at me again, and then asked coldly: "Is there something?"

"Is there...something?"

I was choked by his question. What does "something" mean?

I have been running around for five years for a verbal promise to him, and now he asked me "Is there something"?

"Didn't you call me here...?" I asked again, "What's wrong with you?"

"I called you here...?" He slowly narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold as if he wanted to kill someone, and after a few seconds he shook his head and said, "Impossible, I didn't call you, go back to where you came from."

I felt that he seemed a little weird...

But this figure, this mask, this voice... He is obviously Aries.

Could it be...he has lost his memory?

An inexplicable feeling of helplessness began to surge in my heart. If Aries really lost his memory and forgot everything...then what have I been doing all these years?

"Aries...you don't remember me?" I asked again tentatively.

"You...?" Aries' eyes shot out from the mask, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he reached out and touched his forehead, "Wait...I seem to remember you..."

I still felt very strange. His expression didn't seem like he didn't know me, but rather like he was searching for some long-lost memory.

"Where have I seen you..."

He looked at the ground sadly, and only then did I know what was different between him and the last time I saw him.

In addition to the previous wisdom and determination, his eyes had an extra coldness and despair.

"Yan..." He slowly recited my last name.

I was about to remind him of the last two words, but I closed my mouth silently. I hope he can remember me, instead of me reminding him.

I need him to tell me my name to prove that my existence is meaningful.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remember my name at all, and after a moment, he showed a painful expression.
