Barbara pursed her lips:
"But sister, she can't compete with Fengmolong at all!"
"But those people didn't know this, or they knew it, but they were covered up by a bigger impulse. They cheered and shouted, believing that the acting captain can once again guard the city in danger, but this is simply ..."
She clenched her fists tightly, murmured her lips a few times, and finally shouted out:
"But this is simply asking my sister to die!"
"No, it's better to say that this is cheering for my sister's sacrifice!"
Barbara squatted on the ground after saying that, with helplessness in her tone:
"...I'm sorry, I know it's vicious to describe it like this, but it really felt like that to me at that moment."
No matter when she thinks back, that picture will be her eternal nightmare——
Can't change anything in the crowd, being pushed forward, unable to even make a sound, because the same sound is all around;
She could only feel despair sweeping her whole body in an instant, and the whole world turned gray. Amidst the wild cheers, she watched her sister move away from her a little bit, and she was like a puppet wrapped in her arms... …
"You know, just after tonight, the affection and admiration that used to make me happy suddenly gave me a feeling of..."
Barbara raised her face, her light blue eyes, like pianos, seemed a little blurry at this moment:
"Fear."
When the Song Sounds: Chapter 205 Untie
"I'm sorry, I also know they just trust my sister, but..."
"I understand." Gu Bai walked to her side, "The feeling of powerlessness in the crowd, whether it's voice or action, even your existence will be swallowed up, and then you can just watch the people and things you cherish Go away... oh."
He sighed and didn't continue talking.
"Not only you, but I'm also afraid."
"I just got some abilities by luck. With this, at least I can do something, and then I have the opportunity to stand here and chat with you about Qin."
"Although it's hard to be happy tonight, every time I think of this place, I'm always very happy. Because really, really, in just one thought, things will end in a completely different way."
There are still some words that are not suitable for Barbara to say, Gu Bai took out a coat, spread it on the ground like camping, and then pointed at her.
"Sit down, let's talk honestly."
As he spoke, he also sat on the cold stone slab beside him.
"Don't feel guilty because of what you said just now. The embarrassing facts are also facts, and the one who is wrong is not the one who pointed it out."
After Barbara sat down with her knees hugged, Gu Bai handed her a handkerchief, and pointed to the sky:
"At that time, when I flew over from the sky, I saw the Fengmolong behind the statue, and Qin behind the Fengmolong. In front of them was a cheering crowd, as if they were judging something. That scene was quite ironic."
"Think about it, if it is painted as an oil painting, people who don't know it may think that it is a dragon representing justice and holiness, and is judging a sinner for the people below."
"Everyone has the same thoughts and hopes that things will lead to a good result, but what they gather together is not a good thing. Of course, this standard is only from my point of view."
"Wrong? Not wrong. Innocent? Not innocent."
Gu Bai said slowly, but he didn't plan to go deeper into this topic. Before he had experienced too many things, he didn't think it would be a good thing to impose his own ideas on others:
"It's just that, just listen to it. If you really want to study it carefully, there are too many things to unfold, not to mention that I am not a professional. My opinion in this area is not as good as your sister's. Don't be misled by me. "
His hands rest on the ground:
"The plan to drive away the wind demon dragon is actually not a plan. I know that many people will always have a reverie about similar scenes, thinking that it is like in the story of the bard—"
"A group of people get together, calmly discuss a plan, and always control the whole situation; or at the last moment, a sudden flash of inspiration, although the result is unknown, but the final balance has already fallen in people's hearts, as if every move They're all going to win."
"But when it comes to this matter, I can say frankly that there is no deliberation, and there is no chance of winning. Everyone is really forced to have no choice. It is as embarrassing as it is, even with despair and determination."
"From being overwhelmed to having a clue, the time before and after is about... ten seconds."
"Then, just do it."
"At this time, you will definitely ask, is this considered to be the last moment, and everyone worked together to find a solution?"
"But it's not."
"Compared to man-made, the element of luck is greater. The sword that can divert the wind dragon is a coincidence that no one thought of beforehand. Its appearance is the key to change the whole thing."
"When you admit this, you will become powerless and shaken. Which one is more important, manpower or God's will?"
"Divide the success of one thing into ten parts. You may try your best to do nine parts, but the one that represents luck is delayed, and it is enough to make your previous efforts go to waste."
"Or, maybe everything we do is nothing, not even one share. The so-called luck is ten shares itself."
"If there is a conclusion to be made for this, I don't know. But on the other hand, at least we created a suitable time and waited for that luck to come."
"For example, if I give up early and don't stop Lisa, then what's the use of that Wufeng sword coming, Lisa will have difficulty turning back when it comes."
"For another example, I went to look for Qin at the first time. I had a conflict with her first, and then I went to Fenglong with the Qin from the sky. Even if the sword appeared in front of me at that time, nothing could be redeemed."
"After listening to the above example, you will become uncertain again, so what can we draw from it? Restraint, or hesitation is the key to deciding one thing? No, we are also not clear about this."
"So, what is that thing that can be solved together?"
Gu Bai continued to ask, he saw the girl frowning a little bit, and wanted to say his answer countless times, but he hesitated to speak again and again.
"I... I don't know," Barbara said finally, dejectedly.
Apart from the confusion and fear in her heart, she also hoped to find a way to help her sister from Gu Bai, but the answer was blurred right now.
In the past, she thought that she could become a nun to heal the injured people, and gradually felt that she was doing a good job, but at a critical moment, she realized her insignificance and powerlessness.
So, how about asking the head office of someone who is much stronger than you?
But when she really asked, she realized that the other party was also powerless, not as she imagined——
Obviously when he saw Gu Bai's figure in the sky, he felt extremely reliable, as if all variables were under his control, and any problem could be easily solved;
But I didn't know until we chatted that it was mostly luck.
Such a discovery couldn't help but make her even more confused.
She looked at Gu Bai as if asking for help, but the other's answer made her stunned:
"The answer is, there is no answer."
Gu Bai said lightly:
"You hope to get an exact answer, but no one can guarantee this answer; you go to ask people one by one, but everyone has different answers. Only you can make a decision and bear the consequences. At this time You'll feel dazed, doubtful..."
"But what I'm trying to say is, if there's an idea like that, it's the right thing to do."
"As a result of your hard pursuit, anxiety and a sense of crisis will always linger in your heart, and you can't eat or sleep. These are all normal things."
"But it is also they that prompt you to think desperately. During your thinking, your thoughts change and change, but what is the answer? You still don't know. You only know that you are gradually abandoning those firm thoughts in the past."
"And this certainty often kills us."
Gu Bai paused for a moment:
"I also pinned my hopes on Fengshen, but Fengshen did not appear in the city; I also pinned my hopes on Abedo, but his ability can only be defended."
"And your sister and Lisa, I also hope that they can come forward to solve everything. Of course it is a happy thing to be protected, but their method is the worst way."
"At this time, it was like being in a room. When all the tallest pillars collapsed, I suddenly found that I seemed to be the tallest pillar."
Having said that, Gu Bai spread his hands, met Barbara's confused eyes, and smiled helplessly, "So, there is no other way."
"It's too far away. Let's go back to the topic just now. You said that you were scared because of the fanaticism of the crowd. If you ask my opinion, I think this is a good thing."
"But……"
"It means that people trust your sister a lot, doesn't it?" Seeing the girl's puzzled look, he added, "However, it's not good to trust too much."
"Accurately speaking, as a leader, it is good to be loved and trusted by people. It is measured by this. This is an affirmation of her dedication and shows that the hard work over the years has not been in vain."
"We should be happy for her, but if this trust spreads without borders, you can see that trust is good, but it doesn't mean that dependence is also."
"They..." He said with emotion, "They are too dependent on your sister."
Gu Bai lifted his chin and looked at Barbara, as if looking at a smaller Qin.
"Oh, by the way, let me make a digression. When I came from the Knights just now, there was a debate in the conference room whether to tell the truth to the public, such as the true identity of the Wind Demon Dragon."
"On the one hand, in this situation, these high-level officials certainly hope that everyone can unite. Let's just say it's a white lie. Whether it's rebuilding the city or picking up hope for the future, it's great to have a common enemy. "
"But once the news spreads that the Fengmolong is the guardian of the four winds in the past, some people will inevitably be discouraged. The giant dragon that guarded them in the past has now become the culprit who killed their family. This feeling is very uncomfortable. "
"Now that the truth has been announced, we still have to consider the impact of changes in people's hearts. At a time of crisis, this is undoubtedly another variable."
Gu Bai looked at Barbara, "Then tell me, when the pros and cons coexist, which one should you choose?"
Barbara hesitated, but before she gave an answer, Gu Bai continued:
"Actually, this matter itself is nothing. Telling or not telling, how much difference can be made, there is not much difference, the important thing is the attitude shown."
He pointed to the crowd sitting in the square in the distance, "Are we treating those people as real people; or are they a vulnerable group that needs protection?"
"In this world, the greatest obligation of a person is to work hard for how to live. The key to this is to earn a living for oneself, and the consequences of every choice must be borne by oneself."
After finishing speaking, Gu Bai shook his head again, because it was too serious and too early to talk about these topics, both for Mond and Barbara at this time:
"Of course, now we've only seen a sign, and the problem is far from serious."
"But that's where it started, so I thought, let's tell them."
"Not only to tell this story, but also to tell people that Fengmolong will come back at any time, even if people's hearts will be shaken and despaired, this is the price we must go through."
"Besides, these two things are not enough. We should announce the news that the deputy leader is unable to fight against Fenglong."
"Whether it's you, me, or them, everyone needs to decide how to live for themselves—you can let go of your anxiety and trust the Knights completely, but you have to face the risk of the sudden arrival of the wind dragon."
"You can also be worried from now on, thinking about how to survive the dragon disaster, and more importantly, if the dragon disaster cannot be resolved in a short time. What kind of attitude should you take to face the future life, even if these anxieties and uneasiness come to the end? , could only be a false alarm."
"It's very tangled, right, but as mentioned above, entanglement means that you will give up your belief and dependence on a stronger person."
"Assuming, I mean assuming, tonight Qin really draws away the wind dragon and dies, at least they won't just show a gesture of helplessness. Of course there will be panic, which no one can avoid, but what happens after the panic? "
"You can't stand there stupidly, repeating this impossible over and over again in your heart, and then your beliefs collapse."
"At least, they will understand how to live more likely when that moment comes."
"This kind of reliance of one heart and one mind seems strong in normal times, but in essence it is extremely fragile."
"Not to mention, they may turn into a frenzy that overwhelms everything, and at this time, they will not only harm themselves."
"It's like people are just cheering from below tonight, but one day in the future, even if they know they can't resist, what these people will do is tie your sister up."
After speaking, he saw Barbara's shoulders tremble, and then slowed down his tone:
"I've said it all, this is the most extreme situation, and it's far from now. The reason why I tell you is that I hope you can see a certain possibility in the future, instead of starting to be wary of people around you from now on."
"Actually, if I have been living in a peaceful environment, I can't say that the situation is better, but now that the crisis has come, it is meaningless to assume."
"Should we blame those people? No, as I said, they are not wrong, but they are not innocent. It is our own factors that caused them to change like this."
"If you're kidding, it's not that they are born to rely on Qin, but that your sister has too much charisma." Gu Bai laughed, but the smile disappeared immediately, "But if it's harsh, it's that Qin is incomparable. caused by a sense of responsibility.”
"She works late at night, and even sacrificing her own sleep can't help everyone."
"But to help everyone, firstly, it is impossible; secondly, with her efforts, people are losing their sense of responsibility and the ability to choose for themselves."
"What's more, in this process, she is also becoming exhausted, and at the same time, she is sacrificing her own life, or her life."
Gu Bai asked again, "From your perspective, is this hard work and sense of responsibility a good thing or a bad thing?"
Barbara hesitated for a moment, then shook her head lightly, Gu Bai continued:
"In the past, Qin was too busy, and Mond happened to be in a peaceful stage, so it was inevitable that she would overlook this point."
"When you are in your position, you must find your own job. Of course you can't do it if you don't fulfill the responsibility of acting head."
"But if you take too much care of the people, it's like treating everyone as a baby, and you have to take care of the little things like looking for cats and dogs, and another problem will arise, which is what we saw tonight. like that."
"If this situation intensifies, it would be an exaggeration to say that today my money is stolen and I have to go to the acting head, tomorrow I have a fight with someone and I have to go to the acting head, and the day after tomorrow I have a fight with my wife and I have to go to the acting head. If you have any troubles, go to the acting head..."
"Will the acting head always exist in Mond? Even the gods can't do this."
"Also, even if she has always existed, how can we guarantee that her tendency will never change. At this time, she is a diligent and good team leader. What if she becomes a big devil in the future?"
"Imagine that I am a member of this city, and I don't have to bear the problems I encounter, but have an extremely reliable person to help solve them. After a long time, I will definitely rely on the other party, even when Do what you're used to."
"At the beginning, I would be bound by morality, thinking that doing so would cause trouble for others, but after a long time, I can't even guarantee what I will do."
