“The person before the end of the world was called Mo Li.”

"The person after the end of the world is called Su Li."

“But Su Li’s personality seems to have been imposed on Mo Li by some bastard.”

"That's why everything keeps repeating itself according to a fixed script."

“Perhaps, in a sense, I am more like a villain who has usurped the throne than Li Qiye.”

Chapter 126 Gambler (I)

"Perhaps, I am the replica."

My voice was very soft, without any sadness or emotion, I just calmly expressed my thoughts.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, I have become a completely different person from my former self. What is the point of distinguishing between truth and falsehood?

Suddenly, I saw Tongtong's worried eyes. I held her little hand tightly and said softly.

"Of course, at this point, I don't care about this kind of thing anymore."

When Tongtong heard that, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She smiled at me and at the same time held my hand tightly.

"I don't care either. I only care about who you are now when I met you."

I curled my lips and laughed softly.

"Don't you feel embarrassed when you say such cheesy things?"

Hearing this, Tongtong suddenly became embarrassed and angry. She pulled her hand away, clenched her small fist, and started hitting my shoulder.

"You're not allowed to talk nonsense!"

I smiled without saying a word, holding the steering wheel tightly, and rushed home. After a group of people punched me, Tongtong put away her fists and asked me softly.

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing this, I narrowed my eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice.

"I'm going to take a big gamble."

"If my guess is correct, there will be a happy ending for both sides."

There was a hint of worry in Tongtong's eyes, and she asked softly.

"What if you're not right?"

My heart moved, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I sighed.

"Then everyone will have to be buried with my recklessness."

"Everyone is done playing together, and everything is reduced to ashes."

Tongtong was stunned, a little bit unbelievable, grabbed my shoulders and asked.

"Do you really want to do this? If you do this, what will your persistence mean?"

Hearing this, I answered without hesitation.

"A terrible, terrible joke."

"I'm tired of this never-ending cycle of either being busy living or being busy dying."

"At least give me an ending."

I said it very freely and happily. Perhaps it was because something was peeled off from my body that I could say such heartless words.

The previous entanglements and unwillingness have all become a thing of the past.

The repeated cycle of reincarnation only makes everyone continue to experience this unnecessary suffering.

Let us all be free.

Tongtong bit her lip and asked again softly.

"Can you...really have the heart to do this?"

I turned my head to look at Tongtong, smiled slightly and said.

"I've been through a lot of bad things in this world, and because of that, I developed a bad habit."

“I am unwilling to take risks and always assume the worst.”

"But this time, I am willing to believe in the good ending."

There was still some uneasiness in Tongtong's eyes, her expression was slightly dim, and she spoke slowly.

"But how sure are you?"

My eyes narrowed, but I spoke as if nothing had happened.

"I'm not cut out to be a savior, and I'm not suited to heroic thinking."

“So, I’m going to do it with the thoughts of an ordinary person, or an ordinary gambler.”

"Even if it's only 10%, I'm willing to take the gamble."

"So, just to make up for it, I will do my best to let those who can see it live a normal life in the remaining time."

Tongtong stopped trying to persuade her and just sighed softly.

“Why would we do something so uncertain?”

My eyes flickered, my heart was slightly touched, and I spoke softly.

"Because the only thing we can be sure of is that the three bastards above are not good people."

……

In the Wei Shield stronghold, Qu Yunliu’s residence.

The light in the black wooden house was very poor, and even with a few candles lit, it was not very bright.

In the past, many people always gathered here to discuss how to deal with the increasingly powerful ancient city stronghold, but today, there are only two people in this wooden house.

Qu Yunliu sat at the long conference table and slowly picked up a bowl of rough corn porridge. There was no sugar or salt, and the taste was extremely bad.

After drinking a few sips, Qu Yunliu coughed slightly and his face turned pale. He glanced at the other person in the wooden house.

But across the long table, Ajie was tied up, his face was bruised and purple, and it was obvious that he had been beaten severely, but fortunately there were no serious injuries, only some superficial wounds.

Ajie grinned and inhaled in pain, but when Qu Yunliu looked at him, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm curious, how did you find out there's something wrong with me? I thought I was a pretty good actor."

Surprisingly, although Ajie was tied up, he did not look panicked, but surprisingly calm.

Qu Yunliu noticed this, frowned slightly, put down the bowl in his hand, ran his fingers across the rough table top, and spoke softly.

"I have suspected you for a long time. As the most capable person in the base, you have been too quiet in the past six months."

"According to my expectations, you would want to kill me, and then one night, you would kill me, and then run away after failing."

"Honestly, even if you were fine, I wouldn't want you to live."

Ajie's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his expression became strange as he looked at Qu Yunliu not far away.

Qu Yunliu picked up the bowl again, blew on the hot porridge inside, and continued talking nonchalantly.

"You and that arms dealer are so close that they are like two pieces of glass. Who can't see that?"

"You underestimated me too much, especially the arms dealer who suddenly appeared in the past six months. He simply treated me as a fool."

"In this world, who would trade arms for supplies?"

Ajie shook his head speechlessly when he heard this, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I told that person the same thing, but he didn't listen at all. Instead, he told me..."

"Even if you catch me someday, given your suspicious personality, you won't kill me directly. Instead, you will get to the bottom of everything."

"So, he prepared some means for me to save my life."

Hearing this, Qu Yunliu raised his eyes slightly in surprise, and looking at Ajie who looked calm and without a trace of fear, he couldn't help but chuckle and said disapprovingly.

"That's interesting. I really want to see what life-saving methods he gave you."

Ajie shrugged slightly and answered calmly.

"He asked me to ask you, how is your tuberculosis? Did those flowers successfully delay your illness?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Qu Yunliu's face froze instantly. His eyes turned cold, he came to his senses, clenched his fists slightly, and spoke softly.

"Unfortunately, this sounds more like your death warrant."

Ajie didn't take it seriously. He just smiled at the murderous look on Qu Yunliu's face and continued speaking softly.

"The guy said he'd love to show you something, if that's okay."

"Oh, something."

"A little kid writing a letter to his mother whom he hadn't seen for years, and a reply letter that his mother could no longer send."

tread!tread!tread!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Yunliu suddenly came over, grabbed Ajie by the collar, his face as gloomy as water, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Go on!"

Ajie smiled bitterly, never expecting Qu Yunliu to have such a big reaction.

"Honestly, I didn't expect his words to actually work."

"It seems that you psychologically twisted guys all had an unhappy childhood."

Qu Yunliu's eyes flashed coldly, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a cold voice.

"Tell me what else he said!"

Ajie's eyes fixed, he looked at Qu Yunliu quietly, and said softly.

"He said that he will tell you what happens next."

"But I have to warn you in advance, that guy is very talkative, you have to be patient with him."

Chapter 127 Gambler (II)

"I hate that guy named Su Li."

Qu Yunliu stared at Ajie for a long time, but uttered these words. The excitement and anger on his face slowly faded away and became calm.

"He sounds very confident, but that matter may not be so important to me anymore."

"The life-saving amulet in your mouth is not that useful."

Qu Yunliu chuckled, loosened his hands, and gently patted Ajie's clothes. His expression became gentle, as if the furious person just now was not him.

Ajie looked calm, raised his eyebrows, whistled, looked at Qu Yunliu who had calmed down, and smiled.

"It's a pity that your words are not convincing."

Qu Yunliu's emotions did not fluctuate at all. He just looked at Ajie calmly and asked as if he was chatting casually.

"Why do you say that? Are you too confident?"

Ajie pursed his lips, as if smiling, with a hint of sarcasm between his eyebrows, and spoke slowly.

"When I was young, I was very interested in all kinds of bizarre murders. I have to say that among many cases, there are indeed those born killers."

"But most murderers do have a miserable childhood."

"Parents' divorce, alienation in interpersonal relationships, domestic violence, or some childhood trauma."

"What's the most interesting thing is that there are many murderers whose purpose of killing is not as mysterious as in the movies, but to get sexual satisfaction in the process."

"Those murderers always have some strange religious rituals before killing people. They can get satisfaction from these complicated rituals."

Qu Yunliu listened very seriously, but just smiled and spoke softly.

"It sounds very interesting. Then tell me what kind of murderer I am."

Ajie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qu Yunliu in front of him. After looking for a long time, he frowned and said.

"According to my experience, you probably have an exaggerated obsession with a certain idea because of childhood trauma."
