End of ten days

"I see that you are getting more anxious every day." Jiang Ruoxue put her hand on my shoulder, "When we first met, your eyes didn't look so disappointed."

"I don't know." I shook my head, "I just feel like I've stopped... Although time has stopped in this place, I know I haven't stopped... But now... I feel like I've stopped too."

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

I'm familiar with this expression. Whenever Jiang Ruoxue becomes serious, she always says something I didn't expect.

"I can help you." Jiang Ruoxue said coldly again.

"Aren't you helping me with every song?" 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 understand what Jiang Ruoxue said, "Your "mission"?"

"Remember...?" Jiang Ruoxue smiled and pinched my face, "The reason why I have been able to appear here for five consecutive years is because I feel that you need me. Once I help you complete this matter, I The mission is completed, you no longer need me, and "karma" cannot make us meet."

"What...?" I was stunned.

"If you want to meet each other at that time, you can only rely on true "fate"." Jiang Ruoxue said with a smile, "Our birth places are far apart, almost at opposite ends of the city, so it will not be so easy to meet. ”

"I don't understand..." I frowned and looked at her, "Ruoxue... you could have helped me in other ways, but you were 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 "the cause is derived from the effect," it can be obtained. Give the answer.”

After five years of getting along, I can probably understand Jiang Ruoxue's words.

"Are you saying...the past five years are also included in the "karma"?"

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

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

"You mean that once you help me solve this matter...you can no longer act with me?" I asked again.

"It's not so absolute." Jiang Ruoxue smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Zhichun, this city is not small, and it is not easy to accurately find someone in it. Once I remove the "karma" that made us meet , choose to help you build an organization, then our encounter will be more difficult, that’s all.”

After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that I was not happy, so she smiled evilly and said, "After all, we don't know each other's mobile phone numbers and we can't usually contact each other, don't you think so?"

I was not in the mood to joke with her, so I just asked with a disappointed look on my face: "Then...what are you going to do?"

"I'm helping you on the other side of the city." Jiang Ruoxue replied, "You yourself said that this organization does not need to "cooperate". Everyone fights alone. If this is the case... then we will split up and work separately. By recruiting members from both ends of the city, there is no need to communicate with each other. Maybe one day this organization will be extremely powerful. "

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

Jiang Ruoxue took a step forward, stood in front of me, then took my hand, took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Yan Zhichun, it's not difficult to establish an organization. You just need to understand the logical relationship."

After saying one sentence, beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. She paused for a few seconds and then said:

"As long as you tell the truth sincerely and without any deception, the other party will believe everything you say."

I feel that Jiang Ruoxue's situation is a bit strange. After just saying a few words, a large amount of sweat slid down her face, and her head seemed to be exhausted.

After saying that, she quickly let go of my hand, bent down and took a few deep breaths, then wiped the sweat from her face and said, "This must be such a big organization...how can you be so tired?"

"Are you okay?" I looked at her worriedly.

"Don't worry." She smiled at me weakly, "Zhichun, now that you have the potential to be a "king", everything will fall into place."

"So what exactly did you do...?"

"It's nothing, I just told you the "cause and effect" that will inevitably happen." After taking a few deep breaths, she asked me again, "So, what is the name of this organization?"

"What's your name..."

"Yes." Jiang Ruoxue calmed down her breathing and said to me, "We are partners now. I also want to win over my partners. How can I do it if I don't know the names?"

At this point I lowered my head and thought about the organization we wanted to build.

Next we are going to 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 sign" in the game, and some even put on masks for the first time and became the "zodiac sign".

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

I prefer the Taoist saying that "there are three thousand avenues, all of which can lead to the gods."

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

People who practice this way also have special names in Taoism. They are called——

"'Jidao'." I said.

""Ultimate Way"...?"

"That's right, our organization is called "Ji Dao."" I looked at Jiang Ruoxue and said, "Everyone who joins the organization is a "Ji Dao." The goal of the organization is to "protect the End of the World." We need to Let these people regard "Ji Dao" as their lifelong belief. Since they don't know each other, the secret code for recognizing each other is "Long Live Ji Dao."

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

Her identity has changed from a friend who I talk to about everything to a distant partner who is difficult to meet.
