Chapter 20 The Way Forward
Chen Yue answered with silence.
Su Chen thought for a while and asked, "What do you have to help me?"
"Don't let the cycle of reincarnation end is the only thing I can do. In the first four days, I was just an ordinary woman who came from the Huaxia region and could not help you." Chen Yue replied, "And on the day of the four-day node, that is, on June 1, the power of the Light and Shadow Master and I will recover. Then I will take the initiative to fight against the Light and Shadow Master. If you hide far enough and under my shade, you may be able to live until the end of the seventh day, but I have no way to give you any guarantee. Once the war begins, I will take less attention to you."
Su Chen nodded and asked again: "How long will you last? What I mean is, how long can such a seven-day cycle last?"
"I don't know either." Chen Yue said, "I really can't suppress the light and shadow anymore. In some cases, the light and shadow will even gradually recover the memory in the first four days before June 1st, but I can guarantee that we still have at least ten chances of reincarnation.
“In these ten times, we will find a way to defeat the light and shadow, and we will survive.
"You are from Yuanliao, and you directly and indirectly killed the Scarlet and the Whisperer. Believe me, when the Light and Shadower kill me, the next target is you. Even if you can run away, as long as the chaos of time and space here ends, 'they' will lock you again!"
Su Chen ignored Chen Yue's words and continued to ask: "In other words, we only have ten chances. So, although you have no gains? But you must have been in contact with the light and shadow operator for a long time? Have you found anything?"
"Her name is Hanao Nakajima, you should know this. She is a native of Tokyo. She grew up in an orphanage? Later she was adopted. When she became an adult, her adoptive parents died in a car accident. She lived with her boyfriend. In the federal 176, the two got married, but the good times did not last long. In April 177, Hanao Nakajima's husband was polluted by unknown weirdness. He was suffering from a disease that humans could not solve. She sought medical treatment everywhere, spent all her money, and then borrowed from usury. The money was spent. Before Hanao Nakajima would borrow the next money, her husband died.
"So, she was chasing her debts? That is, from May 29 to June 1, she was forced into a desperate situation. On June 1, she jumped off a building in the Sky Tower and committed suicide.
"This is everything I know? Now based on the number of reincarnations? Some details may change? But...
"I didn't find anything critical in it."
Chen Yue slowly said this, raised her head, and looked at Su Chen calmly.
Su Chen did not express any expression of this tragic life experience. He just nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard it, and then continued to ask: "I have a question. Before June 1, whether it is Nakajima Hanao or Chen Yue, they are ordinary humans, right? I don't understand why you exist as 'light and shadow' and 'curtain hunters'?"
"We are ordinary people, and they are also weird." Chen Yue did not feel strange about Su Chen's question, and still answered it as if he had already expected it. "The seven children of the native mother, the light and shadow are the first, and as the curtain hunter, I am the end, we are the head and the tail, and we are different from the wailing and the scarlet ones. They inherited part of our mother, but they did not inherit the power, only we have the power.
"As the price of carrying power, we do not have the actual carrier like the wailing and the scarlet man. We will be born and experienced as ordinary people until we truly wake up in the human body. After waking up, for a long time, we will also exist based on the recent life and character of ordinary people, because what is accumulated by time must be digested before it can be absorbed and calmed down.
"For example, I think you can help me, try to protect the humans in Tokyo as much as possible, and even use the name Chen Yue, which is the manifestation that I have not completely transformed from the identity of human Chen Yue to the "Shimbun Hunter".
"And as you can see, I and the Light and Shadowmen woke up one after another in Tokyo."
Chen Yue's eyes were clear, and the beautiful face was filled with pure sincere willingness to cooperate. Her answers were also very smooth, without any pauses or hesitation, and she was completely in a state of saying whatever she had.
This time, Su Chen did not ask any questions immediately, but fell into a long period of silence.
He was recalling the information he had obtained before using the information that Chen Yue said in front of him. The information was not only what he saw in Tokyo again and again, but also to a longer time point, all the conversations and information about the native mother of the crystal cluster, all the records from the original mother of the Federation and the situation in Tokyo, and the conversation he had with this woman named Chen Yue several months ago.
He was silent and thought.
Chen Yue didn't speak either, but just looked at Su Chen here silently, waiting.
After about five minutes like this, Chen Yue glanced at the watch and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Su Chen looked up at her, took a deep breath, shook his head, turned to another topic, and said, "I have one last question, I don't have much to do with you and the light and shadow. I want to know, where is the 'them'? On behalf of the crystal cluster we reached an agreement with you, the space-time disorder here can protect us to a certain extent, giving me buffering time to find the 'them' in Tokyo, and as long as I find the 'them', I or the crystal cluster, I can get the opportunity to get out of the predicament.
"I believe what the crystal cluster said, but I don't know where the 'they' are, nor how to use this buffer time to find 'they', and why I found 'they' to change my bad situation now.
"You just said that as long as I get rid of the endless cycle of chaos in space and time, 'they' will lock me again. Although 'they' and 'they' end only once, I know very well that once 'they' determine my position, find me, and attack me, it will definitely be a dead end.
"I die, Bai Feng dies, that crystal cluster dies, the people of the Far Liao, then everything now has no meaning.
"So, although I promised to help you solve the light and shadow, I need to know the answers to these questions, even some of them are OK, because these problems are not solved, even if I help you solve the light and shadow, the gaze of the light and shadow falls on me, and I will have only one dead end.
“The fundamental reason I ventured to Tokyo was to solve the mortal threat that ‘they’ brought to me.
“We have to find a way out during this buffer period.
"And reached an agreement with the crystal cluster, and bring me here under the hands of 'them' to get you the curtain hunter
"I must know the direction of this road.
