Lin Sen was surprised, not because of Cui Disi's sudden question, but because of why Leng Ying knew this?

However, thinking of Dongfang Ruo's relationship with Leng Ying, Lin Sen was quickly relieved.

So there is no need for Lin Sen to hide it.

"Well, though I don't know what the value of this title is?" Lin Sen threw the question back, now he should be the only outsider in this room, it would not be wise to be too hostile.

Cui Disi nodded, with a suddenly realized and thoughtful expression on his face, and then laughed at himself, he picked up the wine bottle, put down the monarch's identity and poured a glass for Lin Sen.

Lin Sen was not flattered by this kind of behavior, and he responded naturally and modestly.

After another drink, Tridis picked up the knife and fork and greeted a few people with a smile: "This charcoal-roasted python antelope knee is the chef's specialty dish of the imperial court, and it won't taste good when it's cold." So saying, he should start first.

Lin Sen glanced at Dongfang Ruo, Dongfang Ruo had a smile in her eyes, nothing changed, she also began to eat, and the whole plan was carried out quite patiently.

In this case, Lin Sen is also hungry, not hypocritical, a bite of roasted five-cooked python antelope knee entrance, rich fragrant overflowing mouth, chewy meat still retains the original fresh fresh of fresh ingredients, this fishy umami is not completely roasted by the heat of the blood, for people who are not used to eating half-cooked meat products, this fishy umami will cause discomfort and even nausea, but for people who are widely involved in the field of food, it is a rare delicacy.

Dinner ended in silence with the sound of cups and plates clattering.

During the whole process, Tridis didn't say anything more, although Lin Sen wanted to ask something, but in front of the child, he chose to remain silent.

After dinner, Tridis did not let the others go immediately, he first called the servants to take the little princess back to his residence, and then invited Lin Sen and the three to sit down in front of the fireplace.

Looking at this posture, the answer that Lin Sen has been waiting for a long time should be coming.

Looking at the beating of the flames, Cui Disi, who shook the wine glass, seemed to be unsatisfied, his love for wine was taste, and unlike Lin Sen, who could drink but did not rely on it, he enjoyed the process.

After drinking another half bottle or so, seeing that the cups in front of the other three were untouched, Tridis showed a frustrated smile, and then he asked Lin Sen: "Saiosh, you have also been in this abandoned city-state for a long time, do you feel anything?" Well, I mean, apart from this spiral, how do you feel about the city as a whole, and the people of Tridis as a whole? ”

Tridis's address to Lin Sen has changed, and Lin Sen is sitting opposite Tridis, next to him is Dongfang Ruo, this alluring beauty is now looking at the wine glass in a daze.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Sen summed up some of his previous thoughts and said: "A people who have lost their honor and soul, and only superficial bravery, the whole Tridis people are actually afraid of death, this fear makes them lonely, and the relationship between people is also indifferent, all of this is just like the feeling I felt when I first saw the Dusk City-State, it looks brilliant, but in fact it is nothing more than the flickering of a broken candle." ”

Lin Sen's summary made the other three stunned, Dongfang Ruo was surprised, Leng Ying closed her eyes with a faint bitterness, and Cui Disi gave an admiring compliment after being surprised: "You look very carefully, Saiosh, your evaluation of this city is even beyond my feelings about it...... But apparently yours is more real, and I just have a hint of fantasy......"

After receiving this kind of feedback, Lin Sen knew that the time had come, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to this city?" What happened to Tridis' people? ”

This sentence asked Dongfang Ruo and Leng Ying's hearts, they have always either closed themselves and watched the wind and rain, or they have sunk into the prison of memory and cannot extricate themselves, and no one has explored the root of all this in depth, but it seems that as the leader of the people of Cui Disi, Leng Hong is about to be driven crazy after inheriting all this.

But Tridis hesitated at this time, he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he still had something to look forward to, or he didn't seem to be destroying the apparent peace for the time being.

However, all this was very clear in the eyes of Lin Sen and Dongfang Ruo, Cui Disi did know, but he had a reason that he couldn't say.

So the East added a fire.

"Is your silence because of Leah?"

Cui Disi's expression was obviously painful after hearing this, but it was not obvious, and he himself shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then in the eyes of this decadent monarch, Lin Sen saw the arrogant temperament that belonged to the king.

Tridis said coldly: "If it was just because of my daughter, I would take the initiative to take off my crown." ”

It seems that things are much more complicated than imagined, but Lin Sen has long been afraid of itching because of lice, and now there are enough unconnected threads in front of him, and he doesn't care about a few more, so he didn't ask, but with anticipation, expecting Tridis to string all this together.

If Dongfang didn't speak, her thoughts were the same as Lin Sen's, and the dust fairy who sat on the mountain and watched the wind and rain was very patient and kept silent.

The two tacitly handed over the next step to Leng Sakura.

After Leng Ying listened to her brother's words, she put aside the difference between the monarch and the minister, she grabbed her brother's hand and said, "Brother, what are you hiding, is there anything more important than solving everything in front of you?" Do you know? The real bosom sister may be dead, and so is Brother Leng Xing, and even myself, I ...... I'm almost at a loss for what I'm really or not, if I've died in a spiral, and I'm just a puppet with the same memories...... So...... Brother!!! Please, I don't want to go on with this pain, I don't even dare to think about it anymore now......"

Leng Ying's words contained too many emotions, and these emotions also belonged to Lin Sen and Dongfang Ruo, and even an iron man like Owen might have thought of these questions after waking up.

It's just that now that Owen has died in the underground world in the plan of Lin Sen and Dongfang Ruo, for which Lin Sen bears the blame, although this sin is extremely corrected in Lin Sen's heart as an inevitable move to run towards the light, but the moment he saw Chenguang and Vivian die, Lin Sen knew that he was wrong...... Even if these people are puppets, they still have souls of their own......

So what exactly is the true self?

Just like Lin Sen saw Chenguang's heart cut like a knife after he died tragically at the hands of K-class xenos, and then with this pain he woke up and broke free from his memory, Kui gave Lin Sen a second chance, and Chenguang was "resurrected".

He's still the mysterious man who likes to use old jokes and is embarrassed, but someone tells you that he's not real, he's just an incomplete copy with the same memory, a puppet whose mind is imprisoned in a certain level, forgets the fact that he died, and then "resurrects" again......

How do you deal with him like this?

And if that's not enough...... So how do you deal with yourself like this?

When Lin Sen saw Ami, Lin Sen's first reaction was incomparably disgusted, and then there was a huge hatred of killing thoughts, when the only one was deprived, Lin Sen kept thinking about how to get rid of Ami, this is Lin Sen's truest thought.

Because he didn't dare to imagine a person who was exactly the same as himself, with the same memory, the same habits, the same ability and appearance, to occupy everything that originally belonged to him.

The most realistic assumption is that Ami returned to Cerberus first, and then met Lin Yan and Lin Xue, but he was left in this spiral forever and became a prisoner.

This feeling made Lin Sen afraid, so he had that kind of plan with Dongfang Ruo.

It's just that he never expected that Chenguang would accept death as readily as his father, without even the slightest blame...... At that moment, Lin Sen recalled the past when he knelt in the depths of the mine and crawled towards the entrance of the cave...... I thought of the self who was once smart and thought that I could be lazy as long as I sprained my foot, and I remembered the guilt that this cleverness brought about that can never be forgotten......

Is Lin Sen guilty? Yes. But this time...... He won't regret it again.

Leng Sakura finished crying, her eyes were hazy with tears, after all, she was just a child, no matter how strong she was, it was just a habit forced by life, and it should not be her calm, so Leng Sakura was more real.

After putting down the crown, Cui Disi silently held his sister's hand, he smiled and wiped away her tears, and then asked Lin Sen: "Your previous summary is already very good, but those are relatively pure judgments, I think there are some things you should have noticed, right?" ”

Lin Sen retracted his emotions, he looked at Cui Disi and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Tridith only said two words: "Child." ”

Child? Lin Sen frowned, the child ......

Then he suddenly realized, and then looked at Dongfang Ruo on the side in shock.

Right! Child!

The city, without children......

This is a detail that Lin Sen has never paid much attention to, but when it was mentioned, Lin Sen realized this terrible reality, there are indeed no children in this city with millions of residents......

Wrong...... Lin Sen suddenly remembered some things, saying that no is still too absolute, there are still children, but they are very, very few, so little that it is almost a feeling of desolation.

Think of everything I've seen in the underground fishing grounds and the huge hatchery before......

Is this where it all comes from? The city and this people are dying for some reason? And in order to delay all this, Tridic did all this with the help of Kui? But what about the meaning of this continuity? Even if it is repeated countless times, it will degenerate into a prisoner, and this continuation without a future is just a struggle, right?

Lin Sen remembered the soulless appearance of those Tridis people, and vaguely understood why that kind of result occurred, if the Tridis people living in this city were dying, it would not be surprising that they would become self-interested and arrogant.

Tridis looked at Lin Sen's expression, his face calm.

"Okay, it's not early, please rest early."
