Chapter 248

Zhong Li: "Yes... This question may have no correct answer."

Zhong Li: "If you must choose, you can only pick the answer that leads to the best ending for yourself."

Huang Quan: "So, Mr. Sha Jin, if everything started over, would you still choose to be the child blessed by the Mother Goddess?"

Sha Jin: "........"

Sha Jin: "I don't know....."

Sha Jin: "But..... there is no 'if' in this world!"

Huang Quan: "..... Yes."

Huang Quan: "There never was any 'if'... so why assume a choice?"

Huang Quan: "Cherish the present.... that is already the best choice......."

The video continues.

【This time it's truly quiet—he's finally gone.....】

【Or am I about to disappear?】

Sha Jin walked further through the labyrinth,

but this time,

the Harmonious Sha Jin did not appear again.

【Finally.... I've gotten out of here.】

A moment later,

Sha Jin stepped out of the labyrinth.

【Should I go home now— but I don't want to go back—】

【It's so happy here—I want to stay forever—】

After leaving the labyrinth.

Sha Jin heard Kaka Washa's voice again.

【Mr.... is that you?】

【I heard the sound of dress shoes.】

【Ah..... it really is you.】

Sha Jin finally caught up with Kaka Washa again.

【For some reason, Mr., you always give me a very special feeling.....】

【It makes me curious, eager to try.】

【Pity I didn't get to know you better.】

【It's time to say goodbye—did you have fun?】

Kaka Washa's face still beamed with a smile.

【You.... are going back?】

Sha Jin looked at Kaka Washa,

his expression complex.

【Yes, I must go home.】

【The sky is darkening, rain is coming—I can't let everyone worry.】

Kaka Washa nodded,

and said seriously.

【Where is your home......?】

Sha Jin couldn't help asking.

【What a strange question.】

【Home is where Dad, Mom, and my sister are.......】

【.... right here in this dream.】

Kaka Washa said childishly.

【Sigh.......】

Hearing Kaka Washa's words,

Sha Jin couldn't help sighing, his expression sinking.

【This amusement park, this beautiful dream, is truly peaceful.】

【Everyone loves it.】

【But Mr., why don't you like it?】

Kaka Washa asked.

【.... Because they're not here.】

Sha Jin said softly.

【Then where are they?】

The Harmonious Sha Jin, who had been thought gone, appeared once more.

And asked Sha Jin a counter-question.

【I don't know.】

Sha Jin shook his head, desolate.

【You know.】

【But the answer is meaningless.】

Tongxie Shajin said.

【......】

Shajin fell silent.

【Admit it—you're tired.】

【We're all tired, so we've decided to stay here—I... and him.】

【Your past... and your future.】

Tongxie Shajin walked to Kaka Waxia's side,

and spoke softly to Shajin.

【How long will you stay?】

Shajin asked in return.

【Forever.】

【We will stay with you, forever trapped in this dream.】

【...... This is the greatest respect we offer to those who have resolved to die.】

Tongxie Shajin's words,

seemed like seduction.

【......】

Shajin fell silent again.

【Taking a reckless path is an absurd approach—but not uncommon in you.】

【Because your own life has always been the first chip you throw away—always.】

【You don't care who the real killer is, nor are you interested in the so-called inheritance.】

【You only want to be a diligent company employee, suffering everywhere in your family's territory, forced into scorching shackles, shoved onto the center stage.......】

【And then, become the third victim of this Changsheng Society.】

Tongxie Shajin voiced Shajin's true thoughts.

【.... I can do it, and flawlessly.】

Shajin denied it.

【Of course you can.】

【Your luck will always come just in time—a Star Core and a Messenger... it's that simple, isn't it?】

【Thus, the company gains its seat at the table.】

【And you can finally step out of the endless vortex, achieving the liberation you've longed for.】

【It's not the first time... this is the method you're best at—and most eager for.】
