Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

At this moment, Lin Ze was lying in bed, while outside the door, everyone was celebrating their day off.

Lin Qiye was also sharing some interesting things about the Masked Squad with the others.

Hearing their cheerful laughter, Lin Ze's mood became even more chaotic.

They are about to graduate from the training camp and become real Night Watchmen.

According to the original storyline, they will soon encounter their first crisis as members of the Night's Watch.

The Church of the Ancient Gods.

It was during this crisis that their life trajectories changed.

Fatty returned to his place of residence, and Lin Qiye returned to Cangnan City.

Shen Qingzhu... his good brother was killed by the enemy in this incident.

Shen Qingzhu also grew a lot because of this incident.

Moreover, he was chosen by the delirious whispers and cultivated into a believer of the Church of the Ancient Gods.

Despite the presence of the chubby Rejuvenating Jade, Shen Qingzhu's soul contract did not work.

But life undercover is not easy.

In enemy territory, you need to be extremely careful with every step you take.

Otherwise, you could easily get killed, and a gruesome one at that!

Lin Ze is now wondering whether he should intervene to save Shen Qingzhu or Li Jia.

If we disregard the cause and effect, the answer is easy: save them.

We must save them!

How can anyone watch their own brother suffer?

And this is all within the context of having the ability to protect all of this.

What is the purpose of striving in spiritual practice? Isn't it for these very things?

If only the choice were that simple.

The key is that Lin Ze must not act impulsively.

If I were to rescue Shen Qingzhu myself, that would be a good thing.

But can you really not consider what will happen next?

What if it triggers a butterfly effect and causes more casualties?

At this point in time, everything you do will influence the course of the world and the fate of many people.

Lin Ze couldn't make a choice for a long time.

Left with no other choice, Lin Ze returned to the stage of the opera god.

He wanted to talk to his partner to see what he should do next.

Lin Ze summoned Zhao Kongcheng and Han Shaoyun over.

They are both Night's Watch members, so they should be able to understand how I feel right now.

The problem he will face next is, in essence, a question of the individual self versus the collective self.

Lin Ze told them everything that had happened and expressed his doubts.

It's worth mentioning, however, that Lin Ze did not reveal his identity as a time traveler.

That doesn't matter.

Upon hearing this question, the two pondered for a long time.

However, unlike Lin Ze, they don't get stuck on a problem for too long.

This is also a difference brought about by experience.

Zhao Kongcheng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "Kid, I won't say anything else."

"Do you remember what you swore when you joined the Night's Watch?"

"The content of the oath? Of course I remember it, why are you asking?"

How could Lin Ze possibly forget the Night's Watch's rules?

These words touched him deeply for a long time.

In addition, having personally experienced that emotion during this visit, those words are now etched in Lin Ze's memory.

It's impossible to forget.

"Read it once."

"what?"

Lin Ze was somewhat puzzled by Zhao Kongcheng's request, but he complied anyway.

"If the darkest night ever comes, I will stand before millions, sword in hand, facing the abyss, my blood staining the heavens."

"How could I possibly forget that?"

Zhao Kongcheng flicked his cigarette ash, pointed at Lin Ze with the two fingers holding the cigarette, and said, "You've remembered."

"But simply memorizing it isn't enough; you still have to do it this way."

"I will stand before ten million people; this one sentence solves your current problem."

"If you sacrifice the greater good for your own selfish interests, then you've failed to live up to that statement."

"And if your friend knew that so many lives were sacrificed to save him, believe me, he wouldn't be grateful to you; he would hate you."

Hearing this, Lin Ze pondered for a long time.

That's a good point.

Lin Ze also had this realization.

If the time truly comes to make sacrifices, Lin Ze is willing to die for the sake of millions.

But! He can do this, he can't watch his friend do this.

After all, everyone has their own selfish motives.

Wanting to protect your friends is a very normal psychological reaction.

"But Lao Zhao, can you watch your comrades die in front of you?"

"I..."

Putting himself in Zhao Kongcheng's shoes, he was also stunned.

After finishing one cigarette and lighting another, Zhao Kongcheng finally gave his answer.

"If that day ever comes, I will do everything in my power to save them."

"But the premise is that it cannot be done at the cost of tens of thousands of lives."

Lin Ze fell silent again.

Honestly, could I really just stand by and watch Shen Qingzhu go undercover?

No.

Just then, Han Shaoyun, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke up, "Actually, I think you should follow your heart."

"I think your true intention is to save your friend, otherwise you wouldn't have come to us to discuss this issue."

"As for what will happen next... let it be."

Before Lin Ze could even speak after Han Shaoyun finished speaking, Zhao Kongcheng was the first to jump up.

He pointed at Han Shaoyun's nose and said, "Bullshit!"

"And you used to be a Night's Watchman, huh?"

"Can we gamble with the lives of the people?"

"From the moment we become members of the Night's Watch, our lives cease to be our own, and the meaning of our lives ceases to be living for ourselves!"

Zhao Kongcheng's words made sense, but Han Shaoyun still insisted on his own point of view.

"You're just too rigid."

As the old saying goes, "If you can't sweep one's own room, how can you sweep the world?"

"If you can't even protect the people around you, how can you talk about protecting the masses?"

"If you abandon your friends this time because of some unnecessary things, then next time, if you have to choose between ten people and a hundred people, would you abandon the ten and decisively choose to save the hundred?"

"Okay, even if you can give up ten people."

"What if next time it's a hundred people and a thousand people? Would you still abandon the hundred people?!"

Han Shaoyun's voice grew louder and louder.

His unique experience resonated with this matter.

It was as if the choice wasn't being made for Lin Ze, but for one's own past self.

Zhao Kongcheng was taken aback by these words, but his momentum remained undiminished. "Of course not!"

"Whether it's one person or ten people, we must do everything in our power to protect them."

Han Shaoyun retorted, "But your point just now was clearly to make Lin Ze give up some things!"

Zhao Kongcheng continued, "How can that be the same?! This time, the comparison is being made by the Night's Watch!"

Han Shaoyun said, "The same."

"He is also a human being, born from a mother's womb after ten months, and he is also our friend."

Zhao Kongcheng's momentum gradually weakened.

Seeing this, Han Shaoyun stopped trying to have a "debate" with Zhao Kongcheng and turned his attention to Lin Ze.

Because he knew that no matter how much the two of them talked, in the end only one person would make the decision: Lin Ze.

"Only by protecting those around you can you protect more people."

"Besides, why are you thinking the worst? How can you be so sure that saving him will lead to more deaths?"

"Even if a crisis does occur, it wasn't caused by him."

"What you need to do is work together to protect this world."

"Lin Ze, don't do anything you'll regret."

"As long as you can act with a clear conscience, then whatever choice you make is the right one."

"In times of crisis, we might indeed need to stand in front of millions of people, but when are there such times? If there are, then the tall ones will take the fall."

"Sometimes, you don't need to stand in front of ten million people. You can stand in front of a few people and protect a few people."

Upon hearing this, a scene simultaneously flashed through the minds of Lin Ze and Zhao Kongcheng.

That was a scene in the old town.

At that time, Zhao Kongcheng managed to stand in front of tens of thousands of people.

Although he only had himself and Lin Qiye behind him, to Zhao Kongcheng, this was already the whole world.

At this moment, Zhao Kongcheng slowly walked over, patted Lin Ze on the shoulder and said, "Kid, he's right."

Sometimes, you don't need to stand in front of millions of people.

"You don't get many chances to show off."

"But remember one thing, don't let yourself regret it."

After this conversation, an idea that had been affecting Lin Ze's needs was put to the test.

No matter what happens in the future, Lin Ze only asks for one thing: no regrets!

Before I arrived, my brothers and friends were being bullied.

If I come here and my brothers and friends are still being bullied, then what the hell did I come for?

Dry!

Screw the 'butterfly'!

I, Lin Ze, will bear the responsibility for right and wrong!
