" Rupert's Tears ... that's really the right description. "
Mei said with some emotion.
" what does that mean? "
Kevin looked confused.
" Rupert's Tears are tadpole-shaped glass teardrops with an unusually hard head but a fragile tail. "
Mei looked at Kevin and said softly,
" The meaning of it being mentioned here is that although you seem to have an indestructible heart, Kevin, you actually have a fragile side, otherwise you wouldn't shed tears. "
" I see. "
Kevin suddenly understood, then scratched his head and said,
" But isn't this a matter of course? No matter how powerful I become, I am still [Kevin], a human being, and of course I will have a fragile side. "
" Yes, but it's because of this that you feel more distressed. "
Mei squeezed Kevin's hand. She was thankful that her big boy didn't turn into an ice cube like in the game.
To be honest, she sometimes thought about whether Kevin would turn into that cold look if she really passed away unfortunately one day.
Of course, that may never happen.
Raven told Kevin about being expelled from the World Serpent by Gray Snake, but Kevin didn't care.
Raven then stated that he would go to New Atla to stay with the children until they could return to Earth.
And brought up the topic that Kevin talked to her about last time - why birds fly.
She said that what they leave to future generations should not be the naked truth, but the dream responsible for explaining these truths.
But what the raven doesn't know is that Kevin has actually been exploring this question about flying for thousands of years.
Then, Kevin also stood up from the throne, seemingly planning to go out.
It was at this time that Raven finally understood why his Lord would stay here and take the initiative to stay away from inhabited planets.
His shadow surged as if it had substance, as if countless alien monsters were imprisoned in it.
[ " Raven. When we talk about flying, it's easy to forget one thing -" ]
On the screen that suddenly dimmed, Kevin's heavy voice rang in everyone's ears,
[ " Icarus once flew high into the sky. At that time, he could touch the sun as long as he stretched out his hand. " ]
" Huh? What does Kevin mean by this? "
In Sirin's live broadcast room, when she heard Kevin suddenly mention an unfamiliar name, Kiana couldn't help but asked in confusion.
" Idiot second sister, you didn't listen to me when I told you to read more. Now you're fine, you can't even understand the plot. "
Sirin laughed mercilessly.
" Hey! What does it have to do with whether I study or not? "
Kiana was immediately dissatisfied.
" Idiot, Fei Xiang and Icarus, when you hear it, you will know that they are talking about the story in Greek mythology. "
" Greek mythology? Why is it related to mythology again? "
Kiana was confused.
" In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus. In order to escape from Crete, he built himself a pair of wings with wax and feathers and successfully flew. "
Mei quickly explained.
" Then did he manage to escape in the end? "
" No. "
Siegfried shook his head and added,
" Icarus flew away and was attracted by the sky. He flew higher and higher until the sun melted the wax on his wings and he fell into the sea and died. "
" Ah? Then why does he fly so high? Wouldn't it be better to just fly away? "
After hearing everyone's explanations, Kiana was even more puzzled.
" Why do you worry so much about fairy tales? "
Sirin rolled her eyes and said angrily.
" So does Kevin have any special meaning here when he mentions Icarus? "
Durandal held her chin up and muttered curiously.
" Maybe it has a special meaning. "
Cecilia analyzed according to her own thoughts,
" Because Icarus wanted to touch the sun, he flew towards the sun desperately, but in the end he lost his life because of the sun's flames. "
" In the conversation between Kevin and the raven, why do birds fly? We refer to birds as humans, and flying as things like hopes or dreams. Then it is not difficult to see the meaning. Kevin wants to say, if humans I also want to be like Icarus, who desperately pursues the sun, but the final outcome can only be destruction. "
" Well ... I still don't quite understand. "
Kiana scratched her head in distress. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to understand these philosophical thinking questions.
" I see. "
Durandal nodded clearly.
She is quite knowledgeable about philosophical matters, and she is at the two extremes compared to Kiana.
" Of course, this explanation is just a conjecture on my part. Only the author Su Mu knows what Kevin is thinking. "
Cecilia smiled. She did not dare to say that her guess was definitely right. After all, when it came to HI3, there were a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
" Tsk, Su Mu is the one who writes plots. What does he know about Kevin? "
Sirin crossed her arms and said with disdain.
There was a feeling that he understood HI3 or I understood HI3, which made everyone around him laugh.
Back to the game, the perspective came to Taixu Mountain, where Rita, Li Sushang and others were performing their tasks.
After some near misses, they successfully regained Taixu Mountain.
On the other side, Mei, who became the Herrscher of the Origin, tried to go back the same way, but ended up entering a completely different path.
She didn't know how far away she was from her friends, but she could vaguely sense that there seemed to be something in the distant extreme place.
That kind of power is somewhat similar to Kevin's, but not exactly the same.
So Mei thought that since she couldn't go back, Kiana and the others might also discover that place and have the same idea as her.
As long as they are all moving towards the same goal, they will definitely meet somewhere in space.
Sure enough, the result was as Mei expected. Just as she was heading in that direction, she happened to meet Kiana and Bronya again in the middle.
But they thought that power came from Mei.
Mei told them that she has now become the Herrscher of the Origin, but it will take time to understand the power of the Origin.
And she didn't get any more information about Herrscher and Cocoon.
" So the power that Mei and Kiana feel comes from the Cocoon of Finality? "
Seeing that Mei and Kiana both felt the unknown existence, Durandal thought for a while and said.
After all, when the plot has developed to this point, apart from the cocoon of the end, there is nothing else that they can feel.
" It should be, but it may not be that easy for ' us ' to reach the Cocoon of Finality. "
Mei shook her head and said.
" Yes, if it is so easy to reach the Cocoon of Finality, then it would be too easy for Kiana to become the Herrscher of Finality. "
Siegfried nodded in agreement,
" However, I still think that the reason why Kiana wants to become the Herrscher of the End should be based on the power of the Herrscher of the Origin. [Begin with me, end with me] This sentence should be regarded as a relatively obvious one. hint. "
" Haha, then won't I soon become a hero who saves the world? "
Kiana's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
" Yeah, but it could just be the great hero who died. "
Sirin said quietly.
" Well ...."
Kiana immediately stopped talking.
Indeed, judging from the current plot direction, the probability of her being stabbed is still very high.
When Mei, Kiana and others met, in St. Freya Academy, the anti-entropy doctors were also discussing with Teresa how to deal with the Stigma Project.
After making judgments based on the available information, Tesla and Einstein concluded that the cocoon of the end may be hidden in the deepest part of the human dream collection.
But judging from the current situation, it has become increasingly difficult to bring people in dreams back to reality.
Because they discovered that people in dreams are having beautiful and happy dreams, and they will subconsciously resist the reality they are originally facing.
In other words, the reason why they can't leave the dream is because they don't want to.
However, the method that Anti-Entropy has come up with now requires ordinary people to pay some unbearable price.
Since people in dreams do not want to wake up, they only need to locate the most stable dreams and break them one by one. The remaining dreams will disintegrate due to the instability of the system.
However, the price of doing so is that those whose dreams are broken will receive a heavy blow from the soul.
Their memories, emotions, dreams, and even desires will be shattered along with their dreams.
Even if you return to reality, the best case scenario is to become depressed.
Faced with such a result, Theresa didn't know what to say for a while.
She couldn't decide for those people the sound of a heavy hammer in life.
Tesla also slammed the table angrily. They understood Theresa's hesitation, because if they really did this, what would be the difference between them and the World Snake?
This is the reason why this plan was shelved before, but it is the only way at present.
As a result, their actions seemed to be at an impasse.
" It's really hard to make a choice. "
In the dormitory of St. Freya Academy.
Himeko couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Dr. Tesla who was yelling in frustration because the plan had reached a deadlock, and Theresa who was silent.
There is no doubt that this is a multiple-choice question for adults.
Just like what Kos Mo often talks about - choosing the lesser of two evils, on one side is the fall of all mankind, on the other side is sacrificing the lives of a small number of people in exchange for the lives of everyone ...
This is a very difficult decision for anyone with any conscience.
Because we have no qualifications to decide the fate of others.
" If it were grandpa, he should be able to make a choice quickly, right? "
Theresa looked at Otto beside her and said somewhat complicatedly.
Although I really don't want to admit it, at this time, a cold and decisive leader like Otto may be the fastest to make the ' correct ' judgment.
And idealists like them can only fall into a deadlock of powerlessness.
" Indeed, if it were me, I would give up on those people as soon as possible. "
Otto smiled and nodded, admitting it.
Then he touched Theresa's little head and comforted her gently,
" But little Theresa, you don't need to belittle yourself, and there is no need to feel depressed because of this, because your ideas are not wrong, and no one is qualified to decide the fate of others. "
" You hesitate because you are good people and I am the evil person . Evil people often do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. There is no comparison between the two. "
" Heroes in troubled times and benevolent kings in prosperous times, although you cannot suppress everything with iron-blooded means, you can give more people the right to choose themselves. This is also an amazing ability. "
" Personally, I admire such people very much, such as Kallen, she is the master of such people. "
It can only be said that it was Otto who was clearly trying to comfort his granddaughter. As he spoke, he took out Kallen and blew her on her again.
" Okay Otto, don't brag about me. Even I am helpless in the face of this situation. "
Kallen rolled her eyes angrily, then hugged Theresa and said with a smile,
" But I believe Theresa can definitely find a way to prevent anyone from getting hurt. "
" Eh? Lady Kallen, how can I be so powerful? "
Theresa suddenly said a little embarrassed.
Although she knew that Kallen was talking about herself in the game, in Theresa's view, she in the game was her avatar, at most a little more mature than her, so she was still very shy when Kallen praised her so much. .
" I also believe that little Theresa will not let us down. "
Otto also laughed.
After all, in addition to being a Kallen chef, he is also a determined Theresa chef.
Soon, it turned out that their suspicion was indeed correct.
After thinking for a moment, Theresa thought of another way.
She remembered that when she was captured by the Stigma Project and in a dream, that dream was not unbreakable.
So, after a period of time, Einstein gave a new plan.
That is to sneak into the spiritual Adam, decipher the closed dreams one by one, and during the period when the dream is loosened, let this group of people return to reality, and at the same time, try to locate the coordinates of the Cocoon of Finality in the process.
But this raises a new question, that is, how to decipher dreams from the inside?
To this, Theresa gave her own answer.
Back then, when she was in the dream world, she realized that she was dreaming, which gave her an opportunity to break through the dream.
So as long as the owner of the dream accepts reality in some form, those solid dreams will naturally loosen.
[ " You have to know that, at least for some people, dreams are far more attractive than reality. " ]
Tesla pointed out the flaws in Theresa's idea.
But soon, she excitedly confirmed Theresa's idea because she realized a key piece of information.
