this infinite world

Yang Yun had actually heard the story told by Zhao Yingkong.

That was the origin of the story between Chu Xuan and Adam, a famous battle of wits in the real world. The contest between the two wise men made this battle a legend. But it was also in that battle that Zhao Zukong made a shocking choice. He betrayed the assassin family to which he belonged and personally killed ten brothers and sisters of the same clan and origin as him. This bloody civil war finally allowed Zhao Zukong to embark on the road to the main god space.

"I understand that all of this is the elder's conspiracy behind the scenes. Even if Brother Yukong and the others all die unexpectedly, I can't blame that man in the least."

Zhao Yingkong, who had regained her composure, could now evaluate her past with a more peaceful attitude, but she was still unwilling to mention Zhao Zukong's name: "You should know, I was just created by another me. The secondary personality emerged, and all the brothers and sisters on that island have their memories sealed by Ruikong."

Yang Yun did know that at the end of the story, Zhao Ruikong sacrificed himself and sucked away all the violent consciousness that Zhao Yingkong had at that time, allowing the little girl to return to normal from the edge of violence. At the same time, it also sealed the memories of everyone on the island about this incident.

"In other words, after that incident, we ushered in a new life...except for the man who knew all the truth and killed Ruikong with his own hands."

Without waiting for Yang Yun to answer, Zhao Yingkong continued: "For that man, I am just a substitute, and he is just playing the role of a good brother in the eyes of my sister, playing something similar to A game of house drinking. I didn’t notice this in the past, I was just intoxicated by the man’s kindness..."

——This is an unsolvable problem.

At that moment, Yang Yun almost immediately understood Zhao Yingkong's mentality. Although she inherited the memory of another Zhao Yingkong, as an independent second personality, she actually had her own meaning of existence from the beginning... The memories she had and her true life actually started from It really started after what happened on that island.

Perhaps the original Zhao Yingkong and those brothers and sisters did know each other, but they were just acquaintances. Judging from her attitude towards other people, the only real friends around Zhao Yingkong when she was young were Zhao Zukong and Zhao Ruikong... After all, in her opinion, the friends of the strong would only be the strong.

But this is not the case for Zhao Yingkong, the sub-personality. Maybe Zhao Ruikong felt guilty about Zhao Yingkong, so he used his mental power to change the personalities of the children before leaving; maybe Zhao Yingkong, the main personality, realized his problems before falling asleep and felt that if If I hadn't been too strong, maybe what happened to Zhao Likong wouldn't have happened...

In short, in the memory of the secondary personality Zhao Yingkong, she has always had a good relationship with the Zhao family. Therefore, when he learned that the Zhao family assassin who died in that mission died at the hands of Zhao Zukong, Zhao Yingkong hated him.

Even though Zhao Yingkong now understands that this is actually the conspiracy of the elders, and that Zhao Zukong was just used as the murderous knife, who would be willing to be kept in the dark all the time?

Everything in the past seemed like a dream with a beautiful first half and a miserable second half. But now, it's time to wake up from the dream.

"I had a reason to kill him, and he had a reason to die."

Zhao Yingkong looked at Yang Yun, who was frowning and silent, and as if he was confiding, he spat out all the words he had hidden in his heart: "Whether it is out of my own will or out of another person's entrustment... I also said it just now Now, this is my fight, you can't stop me."

"...But you understand, you are no match for Zhao Zukong."

However, what she got was a negative answer from Yang Yun: "You are still far from the person you were before Resident Evil 2. In this case, you can't even die together."

That answer touched a chord deep in Zhao Yingkong's heart. Her fingers twitched involuntarily, and like an instinctive reaction, Sanye Duijian appeared out of thin air in her hands in an instant.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yingkong suddenly felt a heavy pressure coming on. It was soft and unstoppable, like a towering mountain quietly pressing on her body. The oppressive feeling made her body instantly become extremely heavy, as if it was tightly bound by invisible chains, and she couldn't even move a finger. ——And in the next second, the heavy pressure suddenly disappeared.

"I have a say."

Yang Yun's movements were smooth and fast. He had already predicted Zhao Yingkong's next move while retracting his life energy. When Yasha thrust in at extremely fast speeds, he accurately caught the cold light of the blade with just one click of his fingers. Then he curled his fingers slightly, and the extremely precise and subtle power quietly poured out, pulling Zhao Ying away. The Sanhua in the empty hand can easily fly away.

The two sharp weapons drew elegant arcs in the air, and finally inserted themselves silently into the soil at the edge of the River of Life, as if they had never been sharper and threatening than at that moment. As for Zhao Yingkong, at this moment, two fingers stretched out by Yang Yun gently touched the center of her eyebrows. Her body remained motionless, and Yang Yun's figure was reflected in her eyes.

"biu."

After dubbing in his mouth, Yang Yun poked lightly. Zhao Yingkong, who had just strengthened the double A-level watcher and opened the gene lock to the third level, took a few steps back like a naughty boy and sat down on the ground.

"It's too far."

Yang Yun didn't even move his butt position half an inch. He just pressed his fingers lightly on the ground, and Yaksha and Sanhua flew out of the soil again, falling back into Zhao Yingkong's hands exactly. After doing this, Yang Yun turned his head, looked at Zhao Yingkong who fell on the ground, shook his head and said, "I can't just let you die like this."

Yang Yun understood that Zhao Yingkong did not simply live in the shadow of another person, but an individual with independent will, emotions and choices. She draws strength from those memories while continuing to shape her own unique identity and future.

But he also understood that with Zhao Yingkong's current strength, it was impossible to defeat Zhao Zukong, who had already opened the fourth level gene lock, and at this time, he didn't know how far he had gone on this road.

"You are confused, and at the same time you are resisting this power, your own power."

Yang Yun sat on the ground, looking into Zhao Yingkong's eyes with his not tall body, staring into her pupils, trying to find the answer deep in the other person's heart: "Why? That is obviously your own strength, and Without this power, you would not be able to defeat Zhao Zukong."

"You should understand it yourself...why not?"

"I just……"

What Yang Yun said is irrefutable. No matter how bright the future is, it will take time to grow. The other one sought Setsuna's help for this purpose. Before going to hell with the clone Zhao Zukong, she retained the light of her soul through surgery to provide Zhao Yingkong with the final boost...

At this moment, Zhao Yingkong seemed to have thousands of words to say, but until the last moment, they only turned into a short sentence——

"I want to keep a memory of my own." (End of chapter)
