Chapter 289 Three Choices
Chen Duo looks very delicate.
Her black hair was tied into a single ponytail, with a few bangs on her forehead. She had a slim figure under the green protective clothing, and her green pupils were crystal clear.
19 years old, it is the flowering season.
She didn't show any surprise or fear because of the arrival of Ji Xing and others. Instead, she chewed the name "Li He" several times and said softly: "It's you. Uncle Liao told me about you, you are very powerful."
Liao Zhong said? Liao Zhong was already dead when Li He became famous, right? Did they know each other? Zhang Chulan looked surprised, isn't the number one scholar...wait?
Have I been tricked by him again?
Ji Xing nodded and said, "The first time I met Liao Zhong was probably five months ago at school. Not long after I helped the team achieve a breakthrough in an artificial viscera project, Liao Zhong came to the door.
He asked us, ‘Is it possible to replace all of a person’s internal organs with artificial internal organs and still allow her to live a normal life’? Everyone said no, because if all the internal organs could be replaced, wouldn't it be equivalent to replacing a human being? This is the art of immortality in disguise. The brothers and sisters are all muttering about where this layman comes from and how he knows about our team.
Only I told him that it all depends on man-made efforts, science and technology are constantly improving, and one day it will be possible. "
Chen Duo knew that Liao Zhong was asking for her, because her internal organs had already been transformed into a petri dish for poison, and her expression became slightly relaxed.
"During that time...Uncle Liao was very happy and told me that I would...be saved."
“Well, he must have checked my information and found out about my performance.” Ji Xing said with a smile: “When I told him this at first, the way he looked at me was, ‘I’m just a young boy but he’s pretty good at it’.
The tone of my voice changed the second time I called. I felt so polite that I felt uncomfortable and even used the word "you". "
Chen Duo pursed his lips slightly: "This is indeed Uncle Liao's character."
Smile! Lao Meng's eyes lit up, and the temporary workers looked at each other. With this reaction, did she really have a hidden agenda for killing Liao Zhong?
“Later, we met twice more and made several phone calls. Did he mention it?”
Chen Duo shook his head: "No..."
“Well, that’s normal, because he fell out the last time we met.” Ji Xing sighed.
Chen Duo was startled.
"Because I told him, 'The person you want to save may not need to replace her internal organs. The heart-gnawing pain of poisonous poison that she endures all the time is normal for her. What you want her to become, She probably wouldn't understand it at all'!"
Chen Duo was stunned.
Lao Meng was surprised: "Can't...understand?"
So that’s it, where is the sense of dissonance in the story? Wang Zhenqiu suddenly realized that the temporary workers except Feng Baobao, combined with Chen Duo's experience as a Gu child, gradually understood her appeal.
'Yes, the treatment from Gu boy to temporary worker may be very different, but in terms of life choices, both are like puppets on strings. Chen Duo, who has always lived under supervision and command, will not understand your promise. Free and happy, Liao Zhong. ’
Zhang Chulan thought to herself: 'I originally thought that you didn't realize this, which led to the tragedy, but Brother Number One actually mentioned it to you before the accident, so you...eh? wrong! ’
He was suddenly shocked: 'With the character of the champion brother, he will not only speak half of his words. If he had made a judgment at that time and was familiar with Liao Zhong, he would definitely propose to choose these two words!
Then the tragedy should be rewritten! Even if Liao Zhong gives Chen Duo a choice between bread and rice for one meal, with a small satisfaction, things will definitely be much better. At least Liao Zhong will not die, so that means...'
Brother No. 1 Scholar is lying.
There is an experience that he made up.
Liao Zhong may have indeed found some team because of the experiment, and he also heard about Li He, a biological genius, who used Li He to cheer up Chen Duo, but there is a high probability that the two of them have never met, at least not like the number one scholar. Brother said it so familiarly!
Brother Zhuangyuan compiled an experience based on the known information and intersections. It was half true and false, making it difficult for Chen Duo to identify, and the purpose was probably...
“Uncle Liao...knows?” Chen Duo whispered.
She recalled the day she killed Liao Zhong.
She did not want to kill Liao Zhong, but wanted Liao Zhong to support her choice.
Even if the choice is to kill her.
She planted the original voodoo into Liao Zhong's body, and the original voodoo would become ineffective only if her Qi stopped functioning. As long as Liao Zhong pressed the switch of the magic weapon necklace worn around her neck to prevent her from losing control, and killed her, Then Liao Zhong will not die.
But in the end, Liao Zhong did not press.
She thought that Uncle Liao didn't understand her until the end, but now...
"So I was surprised when I heard that Liao Zhong was killed by you." Ji Xing said: "It is impossible for a person to be so stubborn that he will not repent. At least on the day of his death, he will definitely understand what I mean.
But he still didn’t respect your choice and chose to die on his own. "
‘That’s right, that’s it! With a simple deception and a small amount of experience, Liao Zhong went from dying due to a mistake to taking the initiative to die for Chen Duo! ’ Zhang Chulan secretly exclaimed: ‘Awesome, so awesome, this guy…’
"Uncle Liao...did he choose to die on his own initiative?"
“Wait a minute!” Ma Xianhong suddenly interrupted: “Didn’t Liao Zhong press the switch that day?”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the temporary workers' eyes were fixed on him, and a deep chill made him look away unnaturally... Tsk, these guys don't seem to be simple.
"Uncle Liao didn't press it..." Chen Duo said softly: "There is another switch on the board of directors side."
"I just said...I just said that Lao Liao will not kill you...Old Liao is a good man..." Lao Meng's eyes turned red again: "How could he..."
Chen Duo immediately raised his head, his eyes brightening slightly: "Choose?"
Ji Xing nodded: "You can choose to stay in Biyou Village, but because you killed someone, including Liao Zhong whether you wanted to kill him or not, the company will definitely take you away. If you stay, you and Village Chief Ma will I have to fight with the guys behind me. If I don’t take action, if you win, I’ll stay.” Is it fair to banish an immortal? Ma Xianhong hummed and said, "Chen Duo, don't worry about Biyou Village, they can't take you away!"
As a result, no one paid attention to him.
Chen Duo was silent for only five seconds before asking: "What about others? Do I have any other choices?"
"For Liao Zhong's sake, keep working hard and persist. Let these people take you back to the bunker. I promise you that in ten years, your problems will be cured within ten years. In ten years, you will be 29 years old. I have the freedom to choose my life as I want, and I can take on the company's responsibilities," Ji Xing said.
‘Yes, that’s it! The experience fabricated by the No. 1 Scholar gave Chen Duo one more choice and possibility to live. ’ Zhang Chulan thought: ‘Originally, Chen Duo chose to die when he went to see Liao Zhong in the end. The only one who can sway this choice is Liao Zhong. ’
"Uncle Liao's...hope..." Chen Duo lowered his head again, and was silent for a long time this time.
Lao Meng was full of joy and hope: "Choose the second one, choose the second one, Chen Duo! I can take on the responsibility! I... I can also apply... apply for transfer to the bunker... like Lao Liao..."
“Lao Meng! Brother Meng!” Wang Zhenqiu put his arms around his shoulders: “She is the one who chooses.”
"Ah, yes, yes..." Lao Meng put his hands together uneasily and stared at Chen Duo silently.
Chen Duo was silent for a longer time this time, more than five minutes, before he looked up at Ji Xing and asked expectantly: "Do I have...a third choice?"
‘The second option was constructed based on Liao Zhong’s death, but it was also Liao Zhong’s death that made Chen Duo no longer have any nostalgia in this world. ’ Seeing this, Zhang Chulan sighed secretly: ‘It’s just a little bit off, but I’ve tried my best, so... there’s nothing I can do about it. ’
Ji Xing also shook his head and said: "Death. If you don't choose between these two options, the third option is death."
“Ban the Immortal?!” Lao Meng was shocked.
Ma Xianhong also clenched his fists instantly.
Chen Duo showed a relaxed smile, and this time he didn't even think for three seconds: "I'll die."
“No, no, no, Chen Duo! No, you have to choose carefully! Even if you choose the first option!”
Old Meng said anxiously: "Why? Lao Liao is all because of you...Why, you are a good little girl, why do you have to die?!"
You think of another way...Zhang Chulan! You have so many ideas! Ball! Xiaoer! "
"Okay, Lao Meng, didn't you see the relaxed smile on her face?" The clarinet said: "It seems that the second choice put a lot of pressure on her, and she has been working hard to choose the second one. Already…”
Lao Meng hesitated.
Chen Duo hummed softly.
“I really want to be what Uncle Liao expects, and I really want to be what everyone expects, no matter how hard I try...but I really can’t do it, just think about it...
The world that Uncle Liao and everyone want to bring me to is very beautiful, but I can’t adapt to it. I’m sorry. "
"It's not your fault, no need to apologize. So are you sure you choose to die?" Ji Xing said, Chen Duo gave him a smile and nodded.
It was my choice, I’m happy.
"But...why...Chen Duo, why..." Lao Meng repeated in despair.
Chen Duo wrinkled his nose and pointed at Lao Meng with disgust and said: "Now do you know why I hate this person? He is unreasonable and always feels that I am living in dire straits... I am obviously very happy now, but just a little bit Pity."
Lao Meng was stunned, and the other temporary workers burst out laughing. Ma Xianhong frowned, feeling what Chen Duo was thinking, and was helpless and speechless.
Ji Xing also smiled and said, "Feng Baobao, tell Lao Meng why this is?"
Feng Baobao: “Because she is unlucky.”
“Unlucky? Just because of unlucky...”
"Isn't it enough?" Ji Xing said: "It's easy for people to die, but if they want to live well, they can't be unlucky.
If you are in the womb, you may miscarry at any time, and if you are a mother, you may grow into a deformed child with just one puff of cigarette. If you survive, you may die in childbirth, one dead or two. When we grow older, polio, whooping cough, scarlet fever, encephalitis... We are all lucky. There are too many misfortunes in invisible places.
Chen Duo was met and known by us, so we feel sorry for her and feel sad for her, but the prerequisite is... respect her. "
Lao Meng opened his mouth and closed it again, just silently sad and his eyes watering.
"But we also met..." Ji Xing looked at Chen Duo again: "We respect you and give you a choice. If you choose to die, we agree.
But for the sake of our heartache, and for the sake of old Liao who wants you to live even to death, can you do something for us one last time? "
Chen Duo was startled: "What's the matter?"
‘There’s actually a follow-up? ’ Zhang Chulan was surprised: ‘Giving Chen Duo one more option to survive is not all. After Chen Duo chooses to die... can different branches be given? No, maybe even the second one is just a foreshadowing...'
He had no idea what it was, and the temporary workers also focused their attention, and heard Ji Xing say: "Life is like drawing cards, some people draw good cards, and some people draw bad cards.
For everyone’s expectation and respect, let’s draw another card and call Chen Duo. Die, don't die once and for all. I'll send you to be reincarnated, starting from a baby, and live again. I hope you won't be unlucky next time and don't be a guest in this world again. "
Incarnation, reincarnation? The kind from fairy tales? The kind where the Buddha awakened to his wisdom?
This thing...really exists? !
Chen Duo also blinked in confusion.
Ji Xing smiled: "Chen Duo, get ready, you have a lot of choices to make next. First of all... what kind of family do you want to be reincarnated into?"
It’s not easy to write, mainly because I’m worried that people who haven’t watched the anime won’t understand and can’t empathize with it, and I’m also afraid that it’s too wordy and people who have watched the anime will find it boring. I hope it’s clear. Two chapters are already 6k, and there is still a third chapter. Let’s wait until 12 o’clock to continue reading.
