Wilster

Although the weather was getting more and more treacherous, there were no cracks along the way. Except for Gong Lan's face becoming more and more ugly, the progress of the three of them was generally smooth.

I don't know when there are no snowflakes in the sky, and there is no snow on the ground, revealing the surface like a dry river bed, which is the same as the sky, making people very uncomfortable to see.

Even Feixue didn't want to visit the real extreme north, but the three of them didn't go far when they saw corpses scattered all over.

After being vigilant and approaching slowly, the brows of the three of them frowned at the same time.All the corpses fell to the ground with both hands holding daggers, but the other end of the dagger pierced their own hearts. It seemed that these people had committed suicide.

Vic said slowly: "They are all Gamanro's attendants, and they should all be Nietzsche's subordinates."

North's scalp was numb: "But why did they commit suicide... Wait, what do you see under them?"

After getting closer, they realized that these corpses were not discarded randomly, but gathered together in twos and threes, each of which fell on a strange magic circle.

Due to being soaked in blood, they can no longer see the original appearance of the magic circle, but this is obviously not the point.The real point is, is this martyrdom-like act voluntary, and what is the purpose?

"What kind of cult ritual is this?" Gong Lan's face was gloomy. Although he didn't understand, at least he understood that those unknown monsters must have something to do with these rituals.

There are a lot of corpses in total, but they are not densely arranged, extending all the way to the north.Vik took a closer look, and found that the expressions of the corpses were not hideous, and some even had smiles on their faces, which was already rare for members of Gamanro.After withdrawing his gaze, he took Gong Lan's hand: "Let's go, Nietzsche should still be in the depths."

There is no snowflakes, but the wind is blowing. The environment in the extreme north is already weird. Now the sky is covered with a black and red halo, and everything in front of us looks like the end of the world.

The corpses along the way have not been broken. There are not many people in Gamanro, and I am afraid that they all died here.Thinking of Nietzsche's specious words back then, Vic felt more and more uneasy.

He is not afraid of death, because there are things more terrifying than death.

Finally, the three of them entered a plain and saw Nietzsche's figure like a small black dot.

At this time, Nietzsche is still in the same clothes, his face is still calm, he slightly raised his head to look at the sky, the energy in the space above is rampant, if the crack is completely opened at this time, then no matter how exaggerated the behemoth can pass through easily.

This was not difficult for Nietzsche, but he did not do that. Instead, he slowly turned his head after the three approached, ignored the others as always, and said to Vic, "Sorry, I shouldn't have let you come."

Vic is still in poor condition, and North stands in front of him and looks directly at Nietzsche: "Chief Gamanlo, what are you trying to do!?"

"I want the world to return to normal," Nietzsche replied. "We are all things that shouldn't exist, and have affected the world for a long time."

Gong Lan sneered: "Are you crazy? If you think so, then you can die by yourself. You are very selfish to let the whole world be buried with you because of your strength."

"Get out of the way." Vic put his hand on North's shoulder suddenly, and slowly pushed him away.

North was taken aback. If Vic had the strength now, North had no doubt that he would blow his head off.

"Boss Nietzsche," Vic said two steps forward, "please stop, no matter what your thoughts are, you shouldn't force them on others."

Gong Lan endured the severe pain and stood on the side with her chest folded. Hearing this, she almost laughed out loud. She didn't expect that people like Vic would say such kind words. Sure enough, people were forced to come out.

Nietzsche looked at him blankly: "Do you think I did the right thing?"

Vic didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

Nietzsche looked into the air again: "Maybe it's wrong, but as I said, my time is not enough for me to figure everything out. I don't think human beings should die from the bottom of my heart, but there is always an unquestionable voice Guide me, tell me what to do. I've lived in this world for many years, but I've never been part of it, and I've been watching people's lives as a bystander, and the thoughts I get are exactly the same as that voice."

Vic slowly approached him: "Nietzsche, that voice is a monster from another world, it just wants to use you, don't you understand?"

"That's right," Nietzsche nodded, "but what it thinks is its business. As a human being, I just want to solve human mistakes."

Vic paused, not knowing what to say.Before meeting Nietzsche, Vic thought that the worst outcome would be to agree to any request of Nietzsche, because since Nietzsche asked him to come over, things could be resolved anyway.It was only now that Vic knew that Nietzsche had already determined what he should do, and letting him come over was just to make him a fool.

"Vic," Nietzsche said again, "this world is like you, it doesn't belong to anyone."

Vic had heard similar words as early as at the Gamanro headquarters, and when he mentioned them again at this moment, Vic could only feel a heavy sense of despair.

But he couldn’t just sit still anyway, Vic collected himself and asked, “Since when did you hear this voice?”

Nietzsche is also really answering questions: "From the time I can remember, that voice has been guiding me. Everything I do cannot escape its shadow. I have also thought, is it right to do so? The answer is obvious, of course it's a big mistake, but someone has to do it. Whether it guides me or seduces me, it's me who ultimately decides to do it."

Vic lowered his head slightly: "Nietzsche, if I hadn't caused the civil strife in Wilster, would you have done the same?"

"Yes, this matter has nothing to do with you." Nietzsche nodded.

"You will kill everyone by doing this, even me." Vic raised his head and looked into Nietzsche's eyes. "Do you want me to die?"

This time, Nietzsche did not speak immediately.

"Perhaps you have been looking forward to today for a long time," Vik continued, "I have listened to the guidance since I was a child, and formed my own family with a group of like-minded people. , pronounced the death penalty for all mankind. This is a great thing, perhaps to you it cannot be judged by basic merits, but is it really so?"

"What do you want to express?" Nietzsche asked.

"I want to say that everyone wants to stand in the judgment seat. There is no standard for who can judge others, but there is at least one thing, sinners can't." Vic said slowly, "You did what happened in Shacheng, right? That’s right, it’s just a small town that no one cares about. No one backs them up. It can even be said that being weak is the original sin. It’s the best way to test the power of those monsters. Doing so will make the lives of those people more It makes more sense... But leader Nietzsche, although someone must do the most evil thing, but evil is evil, and you won't be able to shine in the annals of history because of some of your ideas."

Nietzsche nodded: "You want to say that I am unworthy."

"You really don't deserve it," Vic replied. "You always asked me what the meaning of life is. Now I can answer you. The meaning of life is to live."

Nietzsche nodded slowly, and after a long silence he asked again: "Vic, do you want to live?"

This was the third time Nietzsche asked him this question, and Vic's mood at this time was very different from the previous two times. He nodded cautiously: "Yes, I want to live."

"But you live only in pain."

When Nietzsche spoke, he took a step forward and appeared directly beside Vic.Not far behind, Gong Lan and North exploded at the same time. When they wanted to do something, they were stopped by Vic with a wave of his hand.

"I admit what you said, I never feel that I am righteous, or that I am doing the right thing, but Vic, that is my idea," Nietzsche still said in a tone as calm as stagnant water, "and the sacrifice has already begun , cannot be interrupted."

Vic looked at him: "There will always be some unexpected situations. If possible, can you help us stop the so-called sacrifice?"

Vic stretched out his hand to touch Nietzsche, Nietzsche still showed no expression, but quickly disappeared as if avoiding some scourge, and reappeared in the original position: "It's a bit late, Vic."

As soon as the words were finished, Nietzsche suddenly exploded in the sky, and the picture in the crack was clearer than ever before, but the range was very small, and there were several phantom chains floating around, obviously Nietzsche's last confinement.As long as the chain is broken, everyone will perish together with this world.

The tip of the iceberg exposed by the monster is a bit like the end of the Phantom City, but it can say: "Hurry up..."

North and Gong Lan originally planned to fight directly, but the moment the monster appeared, Gong Lan fell to the ground in unbearable pain, completely losing the ability to resist.And North was not doing too well, the terrifying suppression made him unable to stand still, let alone attack.

"You are anxious, is it about to catch you?" Nietzsche no longer used that obscure language, but spoke human language.

"Don't forget your philosophy..." The monster's voice echoed heavily, "I will help you destroy this world, and the sacrifice is over, what are you waiting for?"

Looking up at the extremely familiar alien creature, Nietzsche was a little confused.

For a long time, Nietzsche seemed to be passing by without desires and demands, but his ideas have always been very firm. Even though Vic made him look differently, he never thought of changing because of him.But at this moment, Nietzsche really didn't want Vic to die.

Just like what Nietzsche said when he was in the Imperial City, there will always be some unexpected situations, but I don’t know if this is a prophecy for Nietzsche.

Nietzsche looked at Vic, and Vic didn't shy away from it. They looked at each other and didn't speak.In the end, it was Nietzsche who spoke first, and recited the unclean scripture again, while gathering energy in his hands.

"Nietzsche!"

Vic wanted to rush over, but Nietzsche released an invisible barrier in front of him with a wave of his hand, no matter how much Vic beat it, it would be useless.Nuo Si and Gong Lan in the distance still haven't recovered their fighting abilities. The three of them had already prepared for the worst before they came, but when they really faced this moment, of course they would still be unwilling.

Gong Lan's vision began to blur, looking at Vic's hazy back, he forced a smile.At least he can die with Vic, which is already a good ending for him.

The energy ball gathered by Nietzsche's palms lifted off quietly, but the crack did not spread after being hit. Instead, the phantom chains suddenly seemed to be entities, floating around the crack and gradually shrinking.

"What are you going to do!" The monster's angry roar came from behind the crack, "You sacrificed your family just to let me come into the world?"

Nietzsche ignored it, but walked straight forward until he looked into Vic's eyes through the invisible barrier.

Vic seemed to be in disbelief at the scene in front of him, one fist still kept hitting the wall.Nietzsche raised his arm slowly, and seemed to hold Vic's hand through the barrier.

"People will only suffer more and more when they live, but..." Nietzsche suddenly laughed, this was the first time a normal expression appeared on his face, "Since you want to live, then live well."

Vic stood there motionless, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Only then did he notice that Nietzsche's facial features were actually very gentle. When he laughed, the dangerous aura that was strong and sometimes weak on his body disappeared. .

After slowly putting down his hands, Nietzsche let out a sigh of relief: "The long pain is finally over..."

Before Vic had time to taste the meaning of this sentence, he saw Nietzsche suddenly soaring into the air and falling straight up into the crack.

The monster was already furious, and Nietzsche would not let it go when he saw him coming to his door. The mouth full of sharp barbs instantly tore Nietzsche into pieces.

Vik's eyes were bright red, and in the blood mist, the phantom chains around the crack accelerated, forcibly closing the passage that shouldn't exist.

After the rift disappeared, the sky quickly returned to normal. Even though the extreme north was originally a bit dark, compared with the boundless dark red, the bright light still makes people blind.After covering his eyes, Vic swayed a little, and fell into the arms of Gong Lan who rushed to his side.

Vic didn't say anything, but held Gong Lan tightly with his intact left arm, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw. Gong Lan looked at him sideways, but didn't know what to say.

Gong Lan is not a fool, of course he understands the meaning of Nietzsche's last words, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Vic, but he was a little stunned and felt very unreal.

For him, Nietzsche could give up planning his whole life, betray his own ideas, and choose to die contentedly after expressing his heart... Can anyone really do this?

"You, are you okay..." Gong Lan finally spoke with difficulty, "Don't think too much, the matter is over when Nietzsche dies."

Vik slowly opened his eyes, and Gong Lan was startled when he saw it, because Vik's eye circles were already red, as if he was about to cry in a second.

Vic hugged Gong Lan even tighter: "He let me live, but he jumped into the crack... What do you mean, let me live for him?"

"Stop talking about Vic, don't care what he thinks as a psycho." Gong Lan felt that something was wrong with Vic's state, and her voice trembled a little when she spoke.

"Gong Lan..." Vic looked at him blankly, "He forcibly attached his life to me, I... I said that I hate being forced to make choices, but what did I do? I forced Nietzsche to choose between me and the Idea, I forced him to death..."

"Be sober!" Gong Lan pinched Vic's shoulders hard, "The matter is over, who are you showing this picture to?"

Vic fell into his arms like a fool, without moving his eyes.Seeing him like this, Gong Lan's tone softened a bit: "It's okay, Vic, it's okay...you didn't force him, he just made his own choice at the moment. Even the will that penetrated into the bone marrow is gone. It's not going to change, and I'm the same, so don't feel bad."

Vic said nothing more, and closed his eyes overwhelmed.

He thought he had no extra feelings for Nietzsche, but now he couldn't forget Nietzsche's normal smile, which pierced his heart like a steel needle, making him breathless and in pain.He was rescued obviously, but he always felt that there were countless whirlpools pulling his body, and some indescribable things had fallen apart.

Looking at Vic who fell asleep, Gong Lan sighed silently in her heart, then turned her head and looked coldly: "Nietzsche is dead, now is the time to talk about our grievances?"

North hurriedly took a step back: "No, why don't you act so swiftly?"

Nietzsche completely closed the gap before his death, and Gong Lan's injuries were relieved in an instant, so he was able to rush to Vic's side at the first time just now.With Gong Lan free, North knew that he was by no means his opponent, and was ready to run away.

"So, don't be impulsive," North tried his best to comfort Gong Lan, "I didn't intend to kill you two when you two had no fighting ability at all, did I? So let's not do anything now, and talk about it calmly Just talk about it."

Of course Gong Lan is not a gentleman, if he had the chance, he would definitely kill him, but he stood still and did not attack.

The reason is simple. He doesn't know the depth of North's strength. Now Vic doesn't realize that he must protect him. It's not the best time to fight with North.

North also couldn't guess what Gong Lan was thinking, but he was relieved when he saw that he didn't let go any more, and while stepping back, he said: "In any case, our cooperation this time is still very successful, I know you don't like me. Pleasing to the eye, I'll leave right away... But when Vic wakes up, tell him for me that if the same thing happens again, I still won't do anything to him. After all, he belongs to Wilster, so why don't you feel dissatisfied? You can say it all, there is really no need to make trouble like it is now..."

North backed away as he spoke, and disappeared when he finished his last sentence.Gong Lan didn't bother to chase him, but looked at Vic in her arms, resisted the urge to kiss him, and quickly left here.

The cold wind was still howling, but feeling the warmth in her arms, Gong Lan's heart gradually calmed down.He really didn't expect that North really didn't take the opportunity to kill them, maybe this incident would also have a certain impact on Vic.But since he decided to follow Vic, no matter what attitude he has towards Wilster, Gong Lan will no longer object, and he will not jump up and down like Xuanya to start a war with the whole world.

Thinking of Xuanya, Gong Lan's eyes flashed a trace of coldness.
