Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 355, Section 047: The Talks (Part Two)

Chen Ruolan hesitated for a moment, then said:

"You tell me, one day in the future, could humans and White Walkers..."

“Impossible,” Chen Xingtong said coldly.

she interrupted.

"My body is a White Walker, and my soul is human. It was only after becoming a White Walker from human, and still from a human perspective, that I realized some things are etched into my bones and cannot be changed."

"Even if I save the people here, they are more afraid of me than respectful; my attitude may also subtly change, and I may unconsciously feel a sense of guilt for being superior to others."

Chen Xingtong looked at her palm with a worried expression.

"The so-called peaceful coexistence is nothing more than an excuse that humanity has come up with in its desperate attempt to rise to power."

Seeing that Chen Ruolan remained silent, she continued:
"Let's put ourselves in their shoes. If the White Walkers were the weaker party, do you think humans would agree to coexist peacefully with them? Who wouldn't want to have a few more beasts and slaves in their household for no reason, just to increase their food supply?"
"What is the reason why humans are desperately trying to survive under the shadow of the White Walkers? Isn't it just to live a more stable and secure life? Once the threat of the White Walkers is gone, humans will naturally evolve into the next generation of White Walkers."

"So save your breath. So-called harmonious coexistence is just an excuse for the weak to rise to power. Once you get to that position, the dragon-slaying hero will eventually become the dragon himself, only desperately suppressing those who want to climb up. In the end, every race is selfish."

Chen Xingtong's words were cold and stern, bloody and unforgettable.

Chen Ruolan pursed her lips and said:

"That's true. But if the conflict between races is sharp and irreconcilable, then the White Walkers should grow stronger as they exploit humans, while humans should grow weaker."

"But the truth is that humanity has survived for thousands of years, multiplying and gradually establishing itself under the pressure of the White Walkers."

Chen Xingtong shook his head and said:
"Have you ever thought that as humans progress, the White Walkers will only progress even more? It is true that both have developed due to the times, but the gap between humans and White Walkers has not narrowed."

"The technology that humans can use, the White Walkers can also use; all the wisdom that humans possess, the White Walkers also possess; and the weak constitution of humans is difficult to improve, while the lifespan of the White Walkers is getting longer and longer. This is essentially a tug-of-war between races. One day, the race's fortune will run out, and humans will not be able to win."

Chen Xingtong sighed sadly.

"nonsense."

Chen Ruolan suddenly said.

“There must be something that distinguishes them from one another and maintains this balance.”

As she muttered to herself, she pondered the differences between the two, the clues like intertwined silk threads, segments of information flowing rapidly through her mind like bio-currents.

White Walkers, humans, fate, souls... In the distance, she seemed to be traversing streams of information, and at the end, she saw a point of convergence.

"Forget it, what's the point of saying all this?"

Chen Xingtong took it as her being stubborn and didn't continue the conversation on that topic, getting up and moving on.

Chen Ruolan opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

It feels like it's broken, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Well!
Feeling annoyed at having been wronged, she muttered something indignantly, but still followed after them.

"I don't care. What you're saying is right now, the White Walkers are stronger than humans, but what if one day—!"

Chen Ruolan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists:

"When my fist is bigger than a White Walker, I dare not speak for other places, but at least around me, I will ensure that humans and White Walkers coexist peacefully!"

Chen Xingtong teased, "With your skinny arms and legs, don't think you can get away with just knowing a few fancy moves. You wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth."

"Not necessarily." Chen Ruolan revealed a defiant little expression, her red lips and white teeth making her look exceptionally smug.

"Indeed, from the perspective of racial antagonism, it is difficult to achieve harmonious coexistence."

“But around me, I see a different scene. Tianyu gets along well with Lao Yan and Douzi, and you are the same. You say that the conflict between the White Walkers and humans is irreconcilable, but you always take care of the people around you.”

Chen Xingtong exclaimed, "This...this is different!"

She continued, "My soul is a human being!"

Chen Ruolan smiled, her voice softening slightly:

"But the bodies of White Walkers contain instincts. If they are assimilated for too long, their consciousness will become blurred, and they will not be able to distinguish whether they are human or White Walkers. It is already commendable that you can control your instincts."

She stepped forward and scrutinized Qi Tongshan's face, making Chen Xingtong feel uneasy. She lost her previous imposing manner and stammered, trying to dodge away.

The delicate fragrance emanating from the beautiful woman lingered around his nose, and Chen Xingtong suddenly felt a little lost.

Suddenly, Chen Ruolan flicked her nose and let out a joyful shout, instantly shattering the tense atmosphere:

"And you still say you don't love me!"

"Go to hell with you!"

Chen Xingtong, with a fierce expression, angrily kicked her away.

"Oh!" Chen Ruolan was overjoyed and quickly ran away.

Chen Xingtong was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She looked at Chen Ruolan, who had run away, and saw that Chen Ruolan had a big smile on her face, looking just like a mischievous girl playing in the water.

Ugh.

Chen Xingtong sighed inwardly.

You're always like this; you should be more mindful of your actions.

Otherwise, you'll always be the one who gets hurt.

Chen Ruolan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said:
"Shall we make some short videos? Like you used to do in your own little world? What was the account name again?"

"Are you crazy? Why are you making short videos?" Chen Xingtong got angry just looking at her grinning face.

“‘Ox and Horse Sisters,’ right? Let’s take a picture~” Chen Ruolan completely ignored Chen Xingtong’s disdain and started to fix her hair, tying it into a ponytail.

He looked extremely excited.

Chen Xingtong's eyes were heavy, and she said weakly, "My phone broke yesterday."

Chen Ruolan gave her no chance to refuse, smiled confidently, and reached for her pocket, when suddenly, her face fell:
"Where's my phone? Where's my phone?"

"Idiot, everything on you has already been taken."

Chen Xingtong squinted.

"Hmm..." Chen Ruolan pouted, her eyes wide open, her cheeks puffing up like balloons.

Looking at the red-haired, idiotic face, Chen Xingtong suddenly remembered that she herself had a similar stubborn and defiant look when she encountered things she was unhappy about during her university days.

I must say, she's actually quite cute.

For no apparent reason, she realized that she only had a little over two days left before she had to say goodbye to this world.

I will also say goodbye to this carefree and silly guy.

Chen Xingtong closed her eyes and muttered, "So annoying."

Despite her cursing, she still took her phone out of her pocket.

"Hey? My phone!" Chen Ruolan exclaimed with delight, "How did it end up with you!"

"Idiot! I'm the one searching you."

"Hey, Tong's mom is the best!" Chen Ruolan snuggled up to Qi Tongshan affectionately and hugged her.

"go away!"

Despite her cursing, Chen Xingtong had already skillfully switched her phone to selfie mode.

"Look at the camera."

She said it stiffly.

Chen Ruolan immediately came over, revealing a bright smile.

The numbers in the video started moving.
