End of ten days

That is, seven years ago, the "Ji Dao" was officially established.

It is estimated that few people who will join the "Ji Dao" in the future will believe that such a huge and mysterious organization as the "Ji Dao" was established by Jiang Ruoxue and I standing on the street in a few words.

After Jiang Ruoxue left, I finally understood what "karma" is.

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

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

If she explains a "cause" first, 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 understood that the five years she spent with me were a test.

She was not only observing me, but also subconsciously building this powerful "causal" relationship.

When she thought the time was right, she revealed the "cause and effect" that she had been thinking about for a long time.

In other words, in the past five years, as long as I did anything that dissatisfied Jiang Ruoxue, we would always be just good friends. She would never be able to activate "karma" and establish the "Ultimate Path" for me in one day. .

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

Did she appear because I wanted to establish the "Ultimate Way"...or was it because of her appearance that I could establish the "Ultimate Way"?

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

Some people struggle with 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 they move toward the future together.

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

I also used some negotiation skills and observation methods to try to select some idiosyncrasies who behaved erratically and stayed alone. In this way, when they made extraordinary moves, people would usually think that these people are like this instead of immediately thinking They have an organization.

In fact, there is one thing that I have never understood, and that is Jiang Ruoxue once told me, "As long as you tell the truth sincerely and without deception, the other party will believe everything you say."

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

How do I understand this "truth"?

I told everyone that as long as they collected 3,600 "Tao" stones here, they would be shuffled. The other party believed me, so what I told 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 telling each person. As long as the other person believes me, because "cause and effect" exists, then what I say is true. If the other party doesn't believe it, then what I told is a lie.

This sounds really abstract, but it works for me time and time again.

I once told others that the "Jikakus" would lead everyone to escape from the "End of Life", but they didn't believe it.

I said that the founder of the "Yakuza" would one day work with the ruler here, but the other party still didn't believe me.

These are all lies.

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

I don’t know whether it’s a side effect of “karma” on me, or a retribution from my spying on the secrets of heaven. I often feel weird, and I seem to suddenly become dizzy.

I clearly remember 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 sign".

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 disappear quickly.

I looked at the "zodiac sign" 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 whole years...he finally appeared here. It turned out that I was not dazed, but that I was pulled over by him.

But I'm a little curious... I've also read the "Zodiac Ascension Gambling" contract. As long as everyone in the interview room disappears, then he becomes a "prefecture-level". Why is he still a "human sheep" now?

"Brother Yang...?" I called softly.

His mask is exactly the same as five years ago, and his body shape is also the same, but he looks very lethargic.

The man-goat in the distance raised his head and looked at me with a pair of familiar yet unfamiliar eyes. He looked at me from head to toe. After a few seconds, he lowered his head as if he hadn't seen anything.

what happened……? Didn't he recognize me?

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

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

"Is there something...?"

I choked at his question. What does "something happen" mean?

I have been running around for five years for a verbal commitment to him, and now he asks me "what's the matter"?

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

"I asked you to come...?" He narrowed his eyes slowly, his eyes were cold as if he wanted to kill someone. 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 strange...

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

Could it be... He lost his memory?

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

"Aries... Don't you 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 to be that he didn't know me, but rather that 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 wisdom and determination in his eyes, there was an extra coldness and despair.

"Yan..." He slowly said 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 say my name to prove that my existence is meaningful.

It's a pity that he couldn't remember what my name was at all, and a moment later he showed a painful expression.
