Chapter 134: "Good Night"

Sunday glanced at Zhuqing, he seemed to be wondering why Zhuqing asked such "nonsense".

He admitted that since the robin left Pinocchio, with the dual distance of time and space, he and the robin had finally drifted further and further apart.

But this does not mean that he does not care about his sister. On the contrary, it is because of the robin that he pays so much attention to Zhuqing and understands Zhuqing so well.

He is just pretending to be blind, he is not really blind.

He would not involve his own sister just to delay Zhu Qing.

At best, this can only be regarded as a counter-attack.

Zhou Li didn't really want to continue chatting with Zhu Qing about this topic. He had taken the trouble to bring Zhu Qing here alone, not to fight with Zhu Qing.

He was afraid that if they continued talking about this topic, he would not be able to help but fight with Zhu Qing.

If possible, he didn't want to see Zhuqing and Robin getting so close, but he had no choice. So many dangerous outsiders suddenly came to Pinocchio, and even he, her own brother, was plotting against her.

Based on his understanding of his sister, even without Zhu Qing, she would still do those dangerous things.

There are not many people who can protect the robins in this chaotic situation. The only two options are the Starry Sky Train and Bamboo Green.

Compared to the Starry Sky Train, although I don’t want to admit it, considering the relationship between the robin and the bamboo green, the bamboo green is obviously more suitable.

But now, this damn ranger...

He is actually still taking advantage of the situation.

"Skip this meaningless topic, Ranger."

Zhu Qing didn't plan to continue talking about this topic. If they didn't plan to do those things on Sunday, the two of them might be able to resolve the conflict by chatting, but now, this is obviously not possible.

"Even if you give them countless choices, they will always walk into the darkness again. Everything you do will once again be meaningless."

"I didn't get here because of meaning, Mr. Sunday. Perhaps this line of argument you leave with the people on the Star Train will be more effective."

"..."

Sunday was silent for several seconds. Zhu Qing was able to walk all the way here from an insignificant planet. His ideas and values had already been formed.

It is not easy to change his mind, and it is even possible that everything he does next will be in vain.

"Have you ever thought that there is another way to solve these problems?"

"Rely on [Order]?"

"Depend on [Order]."

Sunday put his hands behind his back and said, "Since the weak will always get lost, why not let a strong person show them the way?"

"I will transform into the sun. As long as they come towards me, they will be bathed in the light of [Order]. Here, there will be no oppression, no class. They can do whatever they want, or spend each day doing nothing."

"In this dream?"

"If reality is no different from dreams, what is the difference between dreams and reality?"

Zhou Ri looked at Zhu Qing, his eyes fell on Zhu Qing's chest.

"How is Mr. Zhuqing's injury?"

"It's okay, I won't die for the time being."

Sunday's lips curled up slightly, "Of course you can't die. Under the [Order], true death doesn't exist in dreams."

"Is it the same after using the star core to merge reality and dreams?"

"nature."

Sunday nodded.

"I will turn this place into an ideal paradise, where death naturally does not exist."

Zhu Qing sighed.

"I have to admit, Mr. Sunday, your ideals are indeed great. Although I don't know what the price is, I guess it doesn't matter to you."

"I will bear all the consequences. All they and even you have to pay is freedom outside of the [Order]."

"And with all due respect, Mr. Zhuqing, as long as we are alive, we have no true freedom, so these costs are not even worthy of being called costs."

Zhu Qing did not refute immediately. Instead, he looked at the shocking theater in front of him, and then looked down at the bottomless "hole".

"You've been a sea ranger for a long time, so you're used to being casual. Do you mind if I sit down and chat with you?"

"Please."

Zhou Ri maintained his image, but did not care about Zhu Qing's behavior. He just watched Zhu Qing sitting next to him, quietly waiting for Zhu Qing's answer.

"Honestly, if I were ten years old, I would choose to stay in the dream you created without hesitation. Even if it was a false dream, at least in the dream, I wouldn't have to starve, nor would I have to worry about closing my eyes and never seeing the sun the next day."

"At that time, I had only one small wish: I wanted to build a warm home with my own hands."

"For countless days and nights, I fell asleep with this dream in my heart."

Zhu Qing's voice was full of self-mockery. If he were really in his teens, he might really agree.

You don’t have to worry about finding food, nor do you have to worry about a blind bullet taking your life one day.

You can even achieve everything you want, which is a huge temptation.

“Here, your dreams can still come true.”

Sunday's voice was calm, he had heard many stories like this.

But he had never seen someone like Zhu Qing walk out like this before.

"There, you can't tell the real from the fake."

"But it's still fake. Fake is fake and can never be real."

Zhu Qing shook his head. "Let me ask you a direct question. Can your dream of [Order] be eternal?"

"Even reality isn't eternal, Mr. Zhuqing. There's no point in trying to shake my resolve with this. The Taiyi Dream will become increasingly unbreakable as more people participate. One day, even if it doesn't last forever, it will perish along with this universe."

"What's the difference between this and the truth for you and me?"

"What about reality? What about those who don't want to dream?"

"The glory of order will equally cover everyone."

Using the strong to support the weak does not mean using the strong to support the weak. Sunday will not give up just because someone doesn't want to dream.

Control is not a friendly word.

Zhu Qing looked up at Zhou Ri with curiosity in his eyes.

"It sounds like you want to use your power as a strong person to forcibly help those who are weak."

"This term is not very precise, Mr. Zhuqing."

Sunday frowned, "When you were helping those planets, did you ask all of them if they needed your help?"

“Hmm, good question.”

Zhu Qing nodded, "But, Mr. Sunday, you made a mistake."

"I am neither a believer in order nor a follower of harmony. Helping the weak has never been something I would do."

Although Zhu Qing's actions on those planets seemed to help the weak, in essence, he was just swinging his blade at the oppressors. Whether they could finally get out with the light of the blade depended on themselves.

"Perhaps it seems to you that I've done many things that a Sea Ranger wouldn't do. That's indeed a misunderstanding. The things I did after solving the problem were purely personal interests."

"..."

"No matter what the final outcome is, with me, the choice is always theirs."

Choice is something that is sometimes insignificant and sometimes indispensable.

"In this world, many people don't have extraordinary abilities like you do, and they can freely choose what they want to do."

Sunday looked at the ray of light setting in the distance and said, "Most ordinary people don't have the power to choose."

"Like you, many people were abandoned at birth. Many others suffered the pain of war just to live ordinary lives. Those in power greedily wanted to reap everything, but never gave ordinary people the right to choose."

“So, here I am.”

Zhu Qing's voice was soft but firm.

"Mr. Zhuqing, have your actions truly changed their fate? Can those people truly continue on bravely after losing your guidance?"

“Is choice really a necessity for them?”

Zhou Ri hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not follow Zhu Qing's example and sit down.

"You heard the story of the Joker from the robin, so you can guess what happened to the Joker."

"If I had been tougher and tried to save the Harmony Pigeon in my own way, would it not have died?"

Zhu Qing shook his head. "Mr. Sunday, that Harmony Pigeon eventually fell somewhere, right?"

"It crashed in front of the window."

"So in your opinion, it knew it didn't have the ability to fly into the sky, but it still took off without fear of falling?"

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Zhuqing, but the birds' desire to fly is just wishful thinking on the part of humans. Their purpose in flying is nothing more than survival. If I can guarantee their survival, will they still yearn to fly into the sky?"

"It seems to me that if the Harmony Pigeon still wants to fly into the sky, it may just not understand my idea."

“Birds need to learn to fly before they can face the wind and rain, but if I create a clear sky without wind or clouds for them, they won’t have to fall in order to fly.”

"..."

Zhu Qing supported himself on the ground and stood up.

"Obviously, we are not harmonious pigeons and cannot really understand what that harmonious pigeon is thinking."

"But if you were a human, you would know very well, just like the domesticated harmonious pigeons, there will always be people who support your ideas, and there will always be people who refute your order."

"I don't want to go on about those long speeches. You can't convince me, and likewise, I can't convince you."

Zhu Qing looked straight at Zhou Ri.

"Whether you're stalling for time or sincerely trying to persuade us to surrender, I suggest we stop wasting our limited time like this."

"Let's be frank, Sunday."

"Whatever meaning is, it shouldn't be that important to you."

Sunday didn't deny it and nodded.

"To me, meaning isn't important. So-called meaning is nothing more than the 'self-worth' humans strive to achieve, a cage woven by one person after another, ultimately trapping everyone within. Even the so-called survival of the fittest is the same for me. What I want isn't survival of the fittest, but for everyone to live happily."

"But to me, it means a lot. I can't let go, nor do I want to. The so-called beautiful dream is nothing but a false bubble. It is not my final destination."

"That cold reality is indeed terrible, cruel and merciless, persecuting innocent and pitiful ordinary people. But..."

“This world is not all black. There are always some people who will light a ray of light in this silent and dark universe, share this little bit of warmth with everyone, and tell them that the world is not that bad.”

“No matter how quiet the night is, there will always be a shooting star streaking across the dark night, bringing a ray of light.”

“Perhaps this ray of light cannot do anything in this dark night, but its existence also tells the people in the darkness, tells them…”

"The night isn't that long anymore."

"You're right. Days always pass, nights always fall, the sun and moon alternate, the seasons change. There are so many things we can't change, so it's not shameful to want to escape into dreams."

"But no matter what, it's our choice, it's their choice."

“Being carried away by others and moving forward on your own may have the same outcome, but the meaning is completely different.”

Zhou Ri looked into Zhu Qing's dark yet bright eyes and asked, "Even if your ending is destined to be a dark one?"

“People are unwilling to compromise with fate, so they stand up again after falling down.”

"For me, there is no difference between being arranged by fate and being arranged by others."
