Help, I've become a paper man

"I don't want to hear you say this." Zhigui interrupted again, his impatience increasing, and his eyes looking at Yan Changyue were full of murderous intent.

He asked again: "Just tell me, are you ready to give up Stardust again?"

The blunt words once again tore apart the gentleness. When Song Yi heard it, he also opened his eyes wide and looked towards Yan Changyue. What he saw was the same smile, and her eyebrows were still gentle.

It's like we're discussing food, not life...

Song Yi struggled to move his gaze away and turned to look at Zhigui, only to find that the situation was even worse, because people like him were a minority among them, while most people looked calm, as they had obviously expected it.

Or maybe... I am also looking forward to it?

Song Yi just thought it was ridiculous.

In the past, he wandered between stardust and humans. Even though he had heard many rumors, he did not think that the two were in opposition. The current confrontation once again laid out the reality and brought it before him.

Yan Changyue said: "It's just that there are possibilities in the process of making choices. In order to survive, we always make various choices..."

"You abandoned them and used them as bait." Zhigui interrupted him and slammed the table again, his anger even greater than before.

Yan Changyue did not stand up, still smiling and said: "It is better to collect more materials as soon as possible before a large-scale attack than to give up everything."

Zhigui was still angry and was about to refute again, but Yan Changyue changed the subject and talked about another matter.

"You used the word bait, which is not entirely accurate. If possible, I think 'deposit' is more appropriate."

"As long as we are fast enough and take care of Purgatory before the large-scale attack, they can do it."

"But before that, there is a more dangerous team among the gathering teams. They need to go out alone to obtain the materials. They grow in the center of Purgatory."

"The method of obtaining it is single. You cannot attack it or panic it. You need to put down your weapon, get close to the eyeball... touch it, and obtain it from inside."

“It won’t be attacked, but people who enter it may be eroded.”

In other words, you can come back alive, but you may not be able to survive.

Yan Changyue paused here and stared at Zhigui. The smile on her face remained unchanged, but it lasted too long and the stiffness in it became more and more obvious.

At this moment, Song Yi suddenly understood that Yan Changyue's current smile was just a mask. When making the decision to "give up", what this crowd endured was far less easy than what they showed.

Even suffering from it.

Song Yi now understood that the quarrel just now was just a process.

Zhigui knew the situation and had anticipated it, but the two sides had different views on sacrifice. The development of events also seemed to have a script in place. The reason he came here was for this moment.

There was a brief silence, and pain quietly spread. Zhigui suppressed his anger and moved on to the next topic with Yan Changyue, shifting the focus of the dispute to the assignment of tasks.

Song Yi was still distracted, listening to their discussion about who would go to the eyeball and who would risk their life to obtain the materials.

Zhigui was naturally unwilling to do so, and argued that the sacrifice of Stardust was greater than that of humans. Since there was no need to fight, of course humans had to be sent.

Yan Changyue not only meant "let more people survive", but also really did it and immediately refuted Zhigui's proposal.

When the situation reached a deadlock, they put it aside temporarily and dealt with issues on which they agreed, such as the issue of grouping during collection.

Song Yi rolled his eyes, looked around, yawned, and said in his heart:

"Noah's Ark, it's so strange. I can accept that he is not that strong, but when I know that in order to defeat evil, he has to become another evil..."

“I would feel oddly angry.”

He looked at the other person again, outlining Yan Changyue's appearance with his eyes. There was not much anger in his eyes.

In response, Noah's Ark replied:

"Then you are destined to be a lonely traveler."

"We are all alone... I am just one of the millions of broken stardust."

Song Yi replied in his heart. After boasting, he couldn't help laughing, whistled again, and said loudly:

"The one with the eyeball, I'll get it."

When everyone heard this, they first looked at him, then turned away, and then ignored him and continued their negotiations.

He looked at Yan Changyue, and when he saw that she didn't react, his smile deepened. The system wanted to break his good mood at this moment, saying:

"Yan Changyue did it on purpose, Zhigui did it on purpose too. They had planned it all along and wanted you to take the risk."

"No matter which one of them is silent, when there is no rebuttal, I hope you will go."

"Yan Changyue wants Xingchen to fight, and Zhigui wants you to take risks. They are pulling each other, with you as the price."

"It's just a pity that Yan Changyue is determined enough. It's impossible for Zhigui to change his mind because of you."

"Excuse me, can you answer using your brain?" Song Yi replied in his heart. His gaze briefly drifted from Yan Changyue to Zhigui, and his mood became calmer when he explained again.

"I understand that you want to say that their kindness to me is fake, but before you jump to conclusions, you should consider the reality!"

"No matter how good you are to me, you can't say that you only give me good things and don't care about the lives of others."

"You have to know that Yan Changyue's base is on the human side, and Zhigui is on Xingchen's side. This is not a love drama."

"Who can ignore their family and only care about sweet pets? Besides... I know what you said, but I want to go because Yan Changyue is unhappy.

"It wasn't an easy decision for him to make. He couldn't let other stars sacrifice their lives for his ideals. If anyone had to sacrifice, it should be me."

"You are crazy. Maybe last time, or even before, you may have been contaminated."

Noah's Ark commented.

Song Yi said, "System, promise me that you will update the vocabulary database after you restore the network and can connect online."

"You are speaking too old-fashionedly now. We young people would describe it as 'crazy'."

"What do you mean?" Noah's Ark asked again.

Song Yi replied: "It means that I realized Yan Changyue's pain and felt that his guess might not be correct. I am also Yan Changyue's stardust, so I am the most suitable person to slap him in the face."

"He also wants to save humanity, but there are priorities. Let me help him."

"That's just right. I also want to go and see the collapsed world."

Song Yi did not speak a word. He spoke these bold words in his heart happily, and the system was silent.

After a while, His voice sounded again, but it was a question again, saying:

"Is the way you choose to escape?"

Song Yi said in his heart: "No, I have to try it to know if it works or not, and then I know how to go on my own path."

At the same time, Song Yi stood up, looked at Yan Changyue, and said again:

"For other teams, you can divide the items however you want, but leave the eyeball to me."

After he finished speaking, there was a longer silence, with no one refuting or applauding.

When Yan Changyue raised her head and looked at him, for a few seconds, Song Yi almost thought that this person was really regretting it, but fortunately he didn't.

"Okay, please." Yan Changyue said, lowered his head, held the pen and started writing, returning to his busy state.
