End of ten days

Dilong was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I really don't know..."

"Qi Xia split a plan into countless parts, and even he himself has no way to know the whole story now." Qinglong said, "It's hard for me to understand... The reason for all this is to go to that blood-red world. Are you willing? Go with him?"

Seeing that Dilong didn't speak, Qinglong looked at her from top to bottom and added: "You look like this now...with scales all over your body and a lizard-like face, and then follow him?"

"you mean……"

"I don't know what is in that world. Now "Tianlong" and Qi Xia both want to go and find out, but I don't want to. I don't want to create a new world anymore..."

Dilong's expression became silent again, and he remained silent.

"Earth Dragon." Qinglong said again, "Even if other "earth-level zodiac signs" have not made this awareness, you should also make it."

"Am I... ready to wake up?"

"All the "earth-level zodiac signs" are looking forward to the day when they can be promoted to the "heaven-level" and shed their monster skins, but only the "earth-level dragons" know that they will never be promoted to the "celestial dragon" no matter what." Qinglong smiled and said, "You must have been prepared when you chose this path."

"Yes, I still didn't understand it at first..." Dilong said with a bitter smile, ""Dragon" can obviously be the manager of the "zodiac animals", but no one wants to sit in this position... Later I figured it out. , because everyone who joins the "Zodiac" wants to get out, but "Dragon" can't. As long as they choose to become a "Dragon", they will become a slave forever. "

"That is to say, you admit it." Qinglong said, "The purpose of joining "Zodiac" is different from theirs."

"Yes." Dilong said, "Now there is no need to hide anything. Maybe I will die, but it will be worth it."

After Dilong finished speaking, he showed a look of death, but Qinglong didn't make any move.

"Aren't you going to kill me...?" Dilong asked after a while.

"I like your frankness very much." Qinglong turned around and continued to look down and said, "If you had any quibbles or denials, you would be dead by now."

"You call this frankness..."

After hearing this, Dilong smiled bitterly again, and simply squatted down and sat down next to Qinglong.

She is petite, with small horns and scales on the side of her face. She seems to be a spiritual pet next to Qinglong.

"I also don't understand." Dilong asked, "If you know everything...why did you let Qi Xia get to this point?"

"I said... I'm a little curious." Qinglong said, "When you find that the ants at your door have started to have their own ideas, and the whole army is dispatched to plan a big event... you will also want to see the results. ”

"What an "ant"..."

Qinglong chuckled: "How many people do you think would single out a certain ant and kill it when it just started to move..."

"But you didn't expect that the ant could turn into a human and finally stand in front of you. He is almost as powerful as you, so you have no way to kill each other." Dilong also looked down and said, "This is for you. It’s also something unexpected, right?”

"Oh...?" Qinglong looked at Dilong with interest, "I never realized that you are such a talkative person?"

"Ever since I found out that you have seen through it, I don't know why... I have actually relaxed a lot." Dilong laughed a few times, "Hehe" he said, "For so long, even the nightmares I had while sleeping were all because you found out about me. After the identity, he turned my head off."

"So what is the source of your sudden cheerfulness?" Qinglong said, "Do you think I won't kill you?"

"No." Dilong shook his head, "It's just that I know I'm dead, so it's useless to pretend now. I just want to sit down and rest for a while."

"Ha, that's interesting." Qinglong held his chin and looked down at the people coming and going below, "I didn't want to kill you, but you feel like you're dead."

"Yes, since I became a "zodiac", I have had a lot of time to think independently." Dilong said, "I have also figured out many things because of this."

"for example?"

"For example, in this game, even if you don't kill me, I will die." Dilong looked at the people below with a smile, and said with an indifferent expression, "I have a hunch that someone will "bet their lives" with me. "

After hearing this, Qinglong asked with the same expressionless face: "Then Qi Xia won't save you?"

"Qixia is one of the candidates." Dilong replied, "He may kill me with his own hands."

"Then I really can't understand it." Qinglong sighed, "How can there be such a relationship in this world? You are willing to die for his plan, even if he knows nothing, even if he will kill you with his own hands... Doesn’t it matter to you too?”

"To be honest..." Dilong frowned and smiled, "I am very afraid of pain, and I am also very afraid of death. But some things are like this, if you are afraid, you will no longer be afraid. The same is true with pain, you will get used to the pain. ”

"I really can't understand these "human natures"." Qinglong said.

"Qixia allowed us to live for several decades longer." Dilong said, "Isn't this enough? We came here in our twenties and struggled to live for fifty or sixty years. Everyone has It’s old enough to die of old age.”

"Death of old age...?"

"Yes!" Dilong showed a full smile and stared at Qinglong and said, "You don't know how much I miss that party to commemorate our "old age and death"... Qi Xia said that we drank enough to sleep that day. After waking up, everyone will die of old age."

Qinglong turned his head and watched Dilong's story with beaming eyebrows, obviously showing some interest.

"We did the math that year. Some people were in their nineties, some in their eighties, and some in their seventies. No one in this world can choose when they will "die of old age," but we Yes, my companions who are like family members and I chose to "die of old age" on the same day. After that day, we joined the "zodiac" team. You ask us why we regard death as home, but for us, we have already died of old age. ”

"Interesting." Qinglong nodded, "I have never heard such a statement. Not only did each of you choose "death", but you even died in a way unique to mortals."

"Is there anything incomprehensible about this?" Dilong was still smiling, "Our bodies have not changed at all, but our thoughts and memories are old enough. Real "monsters" like us, even if we don't carry this skin, , and can no longer be integrated into the real world.”
