City Primordial Witch King

Chapter 720 Dreams and Choices

"This dream..." Speaking of his own dream, Ying Gou hesitated for a moment, with a perplexed expression on his face.But when he saw the urgent eyes of Wei Xiao and others, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and continued: "This dream is a bit long..."

"In the beginning, I dreamed that I was back in the past..." Speaking of his dream, Ying Gou's expression suddenly changed.

"Back then?" Hou Qing couldn't help but interrupted and asked.

"Yes, back then, before I defected." Ying Gou nodded seriously, and said calmly.

"You..." Hou Qing seemed to want to say something, but Wei Xiao held her back. After seeing Wei Xiao's wink, she suddenly closed her mouth.

Stopping Houqing's actions, Wei Xiao nodded to Yinggou, and ordered: "Go ahead."

"Okay! I went back to the past, that is, when I hadn't defected from the military camp, I found that I had changed back to the same me... I was still the general of that army. I just experienced a defeat and suffered heavy casualties. , but I had to continue fighting. In the near future, there will be a more tragic battle waiting for me. If we continue to fight, we will be wiped out and everyone will die on the battlefield." Recalling the dream, Ying Gou's face began to change. Speaking of that tragic battle, even after thousands of years, he still couldn't help but tremble.

"And then?" Wei Xiao asked silently as he listened carefully.

"Then...then I chose to run away without hesitation, leaving everything behind, and escaped from the barracks alone in order to survive." Ying Gou said with a wry smile.

"It's the same as the choice you made back then, right?" Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, I didn't realize that I was dreaming at the time, and I thought I was the same me back then, so I made the same choice without hesitation." Ying Gou said calmly.

"Humph……"

Suddenly there was a cold snort from the side, but it was Hou Qing who could not understand Ying Gou's behavior, and expressed his dissatisfaction with disdain.

However, this did not affect Wei Xiao's curiosity, and he continued to ask: "The result?"

"The result was exactly the same as before. I met Wu Quan on the way to escape, and I was lured by him to subdue that terrible Gu insect. I started to absorb corpse energy to practice again, and finally turned into this ghostly appearance." In the process of becoming a zombie, Ying Gou's face gradually became a little lonely, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"Is that the end?" After waiting for a long time, Wei Xiao still didn't hear the following, so he couldn't help asking.

"Yes, that's the end of the first dream." Ying Gou shook his head suddenly, shook off those messy thoughts in his head, and replied seriously.

"The first one?" Wei Xiao quickly noticed the information in this sentence, so he immediately asked: "Is there a second one?"

"Of course there is! The second dream is actually similar to the first one, except that I returned to the scene at that time..." Recalling his dream, Ying Gou seemed to be a little different this time, and his face gradually became serious. .

"Back to the previous scene again?" Wei Xiao frowned, and soon realized something, couldn't help asking: "Could it be a serial dream?"

"Yes. Although I slept for a long time, I was actually having the same dream all the time, but each time it was a little different..." Ying Gou nodded and replied seriously.

"Then what's different the second time?" At this time, even the Queen couldn't help but interjected and asked.

Ying Gou looked at him slightly in surprise, then didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to talk about his dream: "The second time, I began to realize that something was wrong, so... I didn't choose to run away."

"Ah?" Wei Xiao couldn't help opening his mouth and sighed, and then he thought about it carefully. Ying Gou's choice was indeed reasonable. Since the result of the first time was not very good, there must be a different choice for the second time. , not escaping is also a good choice.

"But... the result of not escaping is... all my subordinates and I died in battle, at the mouth of the demon clan, and there was no bones left." Ying Gou's face became a little gloomy at this point, as if those bad dreams, Make him a little angry.

"This..." Wei Xiao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although this is just what happened in Yinggou's dream, if it is really put into history, will it have the same ending?
If Ying Gou hadn't chosen to defect, would he have ended up like this?

It's a pity that everything that happened back then has become history, and it is meaningless to assume it now, and at most it can only be remembered.

Ying Gou naturally knew this truth, so when he saw Wei Xiao opened his mouth without saying a word, he couldn't help laughing at himself and said, "After seeing this ending, I was thinking, what if I didn’t run away back then, maybe that’s what happened to me.”

At this moment, Hou Qing suddenly interrupted and said, "No! You may not die!"

"Why? You're not me, how do you know I won't die?" Ying Gou suddenly became very excited as it was a matter of life and death, and even more of a matter of the original choice, and asked Hou Qing loudly.

"You said you were dreaming! Since it is your dream, the ending is naturally related to your thoughts. If you think you will die if you don't escape, then the ending in the dream will definitely die! However, if you think that what happened back then must be If this happens, it will seem a little ridiculous." Hou Qing analyzed each item one by one, talking eloquently, and immediately explained the difference between dreams and reality.

Wei Xiao also thought it was very reasonable, maybe it was one thing in Ying Gou's dream, but quite another in reality.

But who is right?Fleeing has become a fact, and now it seems a bit brooding to talk about the choice thousands of years ago.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiao suddenly realized something, burst out laughing, and said, "Since the second ending is not so good, there must be a third dream, right?"

Ying Gou was told by Houqing, after thinking about it carefully, he had to agree with his words, so he seemed a little embarrassed.

Hearing Wei Xiao's question, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Yes, there is a third one."

Now, without waiting for Wei Xiao to ask, he quickly narrated his third dream, saying: "The third dream is to go back to the beginning, but this time I still chose to escape, because I have gone through the past. The result of not escaping once, so this time there is no hesitation."
