Chapter 502: World Border Journey (16)

Of course, even if Su Lie didn't say it explicitly, Wang Yao knew very well that he was actually worried about whether he would collude with the "mysterious woman" that the Great Wall team was hunting down.

So Wang Yao said frankly: "I have nothing to do with the woman you are looking for. You don't have to worry about this. As for the source of those equipment, even as the source, I may not know much more than you. But just as you guessed, I do have the means to transform into many equipment just like that woman, so I came to the border to find out everything, including my life experience."

Wang Yao chose to hide the secret of exploring the "enemy" deep in the desert that might bring doomsday disaster to the world. In this regard, he rarely shared the same position as Zhuang Zhou.

Su Lie took a deep look at Wang Yao and chose to believe it on the surface: "I see. I apologize for my previous suspicion of you. However, I can't provide you with any useful information about your background. But since you have never asked us, it means that you also know that even we can't know your background."

Wang Yao once again chose to respond with silence, which was considered as his tacit agreement with Su Lie's statement.

"Do you mind if I ask you some more questions?"

"You said."

"As a fellow soldier, I admire you very much. I can see that you really care about those soldiers." Su Lie walked to Wang Yao's side and looked into the dark distance with him. "I was a little confused at first. What on earth did you want to do? Are you really just trying to help a few soldiers find their relatives? I even thought that you were using the excuse of helping the soldiers find their relatives in order to win over people's hearts and dominate the desert! I'm sorry, you don't mind if I think of you in such a dark way, right?"

Wang Yao did not comment, and replied calmly: "Not only you will think so, my future enemies will also think so."

The soldier subconsciously gave Wang Yao a gentle smile. Even though they had only been together for a short half month, he liked this wise and steady young man from the bottom of his heart.

"Now that I think about it, your behavior is understandable. The Sky-flying Dragon I met in the desert once told me that your companions during the Three-Point Land period all died in the canyon. Perhaps it was because of your experience as a soldier that you are who you are today and have so many incredible behaviors now."

only.
Su Lie suddenly changed the subject: "But maybe even Mulan herself didn't realize that it was she who brought you, an unpredictable and uncontrollable variable, to the Great Wall! At least in my opinion, your existence is like a spark that sets a prairie on fire. Wherever you appear, it will cause an extremely terrible prairie fire."

Wang Yao frowned slightly.

Su Lie continued, "To be frank, your actions have subtly influenced those soldiers. You are making them feel that they are born free and equal. You are even silently spreading a spiritual thought to them, that is, heroes can also be defeated by soldiers! Such thoughts are very dangerous, and what is the use? You are just giving them unrealistic hope. Maybe your starting point is good, but in front of powerful heroes, they still cannot get rid of their identity as ants."

"So they should just stay weak and let others bully them forever?"

A hint of frost appeared in Wang Yao's deep eyes: "After you said so much, can I understand that you, a vested interest of the old times, also want to stop me?"

"No, I don't have the ability to stop you. Although you rarely take action, I can still feel how powerful you are. Now, I alone, even with the addition of the entire Great Wall team, can't stop you from doing anything."

Su Lie instinctively avoided looking directly at Wang Yao's strange and creepy heterochromatic eyes. Even he could not look directly at Wang Yao when he was angry.

"But I still want to say, isn't it? Even if you lead the soldiers to unify the desert and let the desert be under their free control from now on, so what? You can defeat the foreign heroes today, but can you guarantee that they will not come back tomorrow? By then, without you, can the soldiers resist the invasion of heroes? What's more, you have foreseen the final outcome of the journey of these soldiers, right? But why do you still want to lead them to that doomed tragic ending? What's the meaning of everything you are doing now?"

I have to admit that Su Lie stated a very realistic fact.

Wang Yao fell silent, but the reason for his silence was not because he had nothing to say, but because he suddenly realized that Su Lie was actually being "smart".

This seemingly honest soldier has been trying to trick me into revealing my true thoughts and intentions.
Wang Yao was very sharp in seeing through Su Lie's 'little trick': "I have already said it before, let's get straight to the point. If you have any doubts, you can just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush, and there is no need to use any provocation."

After Wang Yao said this, Su Lie felt a little embarrassed and helpless. For a moment, he felt that he was almost able to see into Wang Yao's true inner thoughts, but Wang Yao's psychological defense was too tight, and it was almost watertight.

"Okay, I admit that, just like what you think now, I said so much, not because I care about the life and death or future of these soldiers, and I don't have your mercy and heart. But you didn't tell me the truth, at least not all of it."

Now that things have come to this, Su Lie could only take the initiative to reveal all his true thoughts: "I just want to know, what is your real intention? I think the reason you came back to the border this time is definitely not just to find out your life experience and the source of your equipment. It can even be said that you are currently leading the soldiers to conquer everywhere. To some extent, it is most likely to confirm something. Although I can't guess it, at least my feeling tells me so. Am I right? And this is also my question. I really want to know, what are you going to prove with your current actions?"

really
Su Lie was the first person to vaguely perceive his intentions. Wang Yao looked at the soldier beside him meaningfully, and after thinking for a moment, he replied calmly: "I just want to know whether a certain system is no longer necessary."

Su Lie's heart tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "What exactly do you mean?"

This time, facing Su Lie's question, Wang Yao chose to remain silent and said he had nothing to say.

"Okay." Su Lie smiled and could only stop asking questions. Anyway, he had already confirmed his guess. Besides, Su Lie didn't think Wang Yao would reveal any more information to him if he asked further.

It's just that there is a vague sense of uneasiness and crisis about Wang Yao's existence.
Then he said something shocking: "I'm going to take Mulan and the others away first."

Wang Yao was not surprised by this: "Have you found the trace of that woman?"

In fact, the reason why Su Lie was willing to follow them into the desert was simply because he could search for clues about the enemy along the way, rather than wanting to help the soldiers find their loved ones. As Tu Su Lie himself said, no matter how they whitewashed it, most heroes would not really care about the life and death of a mere soldier, and Wang Yao knew this very well.

"Yes." Su Lie nodded, and at the same time looked deeply at Wang Yao again: "Although it is unlikely, I still want to ask, are you willing to give up everything you have now and go with us? As you can see, our Great Wall team welcomes your arrival."

Even though Wang Yao never revealed his plans and intentions from beginning to end, Su Lie could feel that Wang Yao's future actions might lead to irreversible disaster, so he wanted him to give up as much as possible.

Sometimes, the world cannot and is not allowed to be changed, and being in it and keeping to oneself may be the best way forward.

Unfortunately, Wang Yao's response remained the same, which was understandable.

"If I had to give up, I would have given up four years ago."

"Really? That's a pity. I think Mulan will be very sad."

Looking at the man's resolute and indifferent profile again, Su Lie finally said: "I hope that in the future, we will not become enemies one day."

Wang Yao's tone remained as indifferent as ever: "If you don't want this world to be fair either."

After that, the two parted ways, ending this final conversation.

The next day, Su Lie was about to lead the Great Wall Guard away as planned. Hua Mulan was originally in a bad mood and wanted to stay alone with Wang Yao, but in the end she had no choice but to obey after Su Lie's persuasion.

However, before the Great Wall Team set off, the equally cold man Kai suddenly stood in front of Wang Yao.

Everyone thought that there would be another famous scene of chopping Wang Yao with a knife, and they gathered around to watch. Unexpectedly, Kai did not do as everyone wished. He just stared at Wang Yao for a long time before asking, "Was she, my sister, in pain at that time?"

This was also the first time Kai spoke to Wang Yao in the nearly one month they had been together.

Wang Yao did not show any emotion. After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice: "I don't know."

There is no whitewashing or covering up, only the naked facts, the most difficult and hurtful truth.

Thinking back to the past, under the earth-shaking divine flames; the girl's pretty face with tears in the corners of her eyes but with a faint smile, Wang Yao didn't know what she felt at the time. The only thing he knew was that half of his life also stayed in that place forever.
"Really?" Kai looked deeply at the deep luster in Wang Yao's lowered eyes, and said nothing more, but turned around and walked away with heavy steps. From a distance, the tall and strong back against the desolate desert scenery and the cheering farewell of the Great Wall team members seemed so lonely and desolate.
For Wang Yao, the moment he lost the girl, he was the only one left alive in the world. But for Kai, isn't it the same?
