After the first one or two seconds, Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized.

From a certain point of view, this request of Mather is actually a good thing - as long as Mather will not go to confront Lu Ze who is occupied by Orcius in person, in a fit of anger. Fight, then there is still room for change.

At least she thought so.

"Are you sure?" Lin Sanjiu asked cautiously, "You don't have to give up hope completely. Just because a method doesn't work, doesn't mean..."

If Mather refuted her at length, maybe Lin Sanjiu would have some hope; however, Mather just shook his head a little—even before shaking his head, his neck turned halfway, as if he forgot what he was doing. For some reason, he stood still, staring at the stone building not far away in a daze.

"...Mather?" Lin Sanjiu called softly.

It took a second or two before her voice reached Martha's ears, finally eliciting a response. Mather turned her head back, looked at Lin Sanjiu, and whispered, "My request...are you willing?"

While Lin Sanjiu was in a daze, not knowing how to respond, Marseel seemed to have no need to wait for her response, and had already slowly got up from the ground. She supported her knees, as if she had experienced rapid aging in the past few minutes, every joint was as stiff as cement, she had to support something, and stood up little by little.

"Call me selfish, I'll take it as if you agreed. Just for my sake...I can't do it, I..."

She didn't finish a sentence, as if she had forgotten what she was going to say again, her voice gradually weakened, and finally completely disappeared. She stood up straight, turned around, without looking at the direction or where she should go, and walked out into the depths of Luoshi City; Lin Sanjiu immediately jumped up, and shouted: "Wait— —”

Martha turned her head slightly.

"You...where are you going?" Lin Sanjiu asked.

"I don't know," Martha said blankly, "but...it doesn't matter, does it? Wherever you go, it doesn't matter..."

Lin Sanjiu paused, and said cautiously: "I have an interstellar spaceship that can accommodate many people..."

Judging from the expression, Martha seemed to have guessed what she was going to say. She still quietly listened to Lin Sanjiu finish speaking, and then smiled lightly.

"How wonderful," she said with yearning and sarcasm: "Friends who are as important as relatives... all live in a spaceship, and they are together wherever they go."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't find anything to say in response. She suddenly remembered

"I know it's not your fault. In the final analysis, it's also my fault... People who are so desperate to grab life-saving straws, of course, will be stupid intentionally or unintentionally." Mather then turned her back to Lin Sanjiu, Looking at the thick and undulating skyline of Luoshi City from a distance, he said in a low voice: "Even if you sign a contract with the devil, you can ask about the terms of the contract in advance. Things have come to this point... I have no one else except Gong Daoyi and myself. so weird."

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth to comfort her, but she heard Marse say again: "But even if I understand all the reasons, I still have no way to have no grievances towards you. Why, I don't know... ...There is always a small part of me that expects you to solve the problem, hates that you can't solve the problem, and asks you repeatedly, how can I forget Lu Ze?"

This time, Lin Sanjiu was speechless.

"I have no way to go to your boat." Mather said, and had already stepped forward again. "I hope you can understand me... goodbye."

Lin Sanjiu stood quietly in the distance, watching her walk step by step into the shadow of towering rocks in the distance, but finally he didn't catch up and didn't call her. No matter how much she hopes that Mather can come back and stay from now on, Lin Sanjiu also knows that Mather is not willing—and cannot—stop as she wishes.

She closed her eyes.

Mather had given up all hope before asking Lin Sanjiu to kill Lu Ze's body. But Lin Sanjiu is different. She didn't despair, and she didn't think that this was the only way out at this time.

The Orcius in Lu Ze's body, and the Orcius in any other evolutionary body, are essentially Orcius and their enemies.

Even if Occidentals can completely absorb Lu Ze as a part of him during this period of time, when he is defeated by Lin Sanjiu and his party in the future, Lu Ze's body will still be "empty"—if If someone else is absorbed by Occidentus and then empties out, there is still a risk that the original personality will be eroded; but Lu Ze itself is an empty human body, without the existence of the personality of "Lu Ze", it is still afraid. What?

Lin Sanjiu looked down at [Life Reshaping] that rolled to the ground. When Marce left just now, she didn't even look at it, as if she completely forgot about its existence.

She is not like the desperate Mercer. Even if she is faced with an impossible task like a mountain and an abyss, she always has a glimmer of hope, and she will always work hard towards the direction of that glimmer of hope. No matter how terrible and powerful Occidentus is, she will still be defeated by her possible.

Lin Sanjiu bent down and picked up [Life Reshaping].

On that day, if she is still alive, if the gift bag is still alive, then Lu Ze can come back.

Her analysis and encouragement were obviously very reasonable and possible, but Lin Sanjiu still couldn't help but buried her head in her arms and squatted on the ground for a while. It's not that she doesn't believe in herself; she just hopes that a friend who just calmed down in despair and left without looking back can believe even a few words from her.

She wiped away her tears, and carefully put [Life Reshaping] into the card library.

The several consecutive emotional shocks just now made Lin Sanjiu's mind a little unclear for a while; she took a few deep breaths, and her oxygen-deprived brain finally became a little brighter.

Originally, I came to Luoshi City to find someone... After watching Marse walk out of her field of vision step by step, Lin Sanjiu was in a state of extreme imbalance and anxiety. She had to see a familiar picture. Only by grasping the face of a close friend and old friend tightly can I stabilize myself in this spinning world, so as not to be shredded into pieces like a paper towel in a washing machine.

Yu Yuan...she wiped her face, thinking vaguely. He should have fallen near here, and the gift bag and Qing Jiuru are also on the way... Wait a while, maybe the puppeteer will arrive...

She comforted herself with each name one after another, so that she didn't think of a question until several minutes later.

[Life is like a play] She has used it once, perhaps Marcea is not familiar with it, but Lin Sanjiu is very clear about the rules and restrictions when using it. For example, there is a restriction that there must be an equal number of people in the current scene where the item is used and in the "to-be-represented past" in order to successfully reproduce the past.

The number of Jotans' old friends and Lin Sanjiu's party were exactly equal.

Lin Sanjiu slowly raised his head.

When Mather activated it just now... [Life is like a play] there are Mather, Lu Ze and Lin Sanjiu.

In other words, there is another person nearby... who is it?
