Chapter 164
"Ten, sixteen nights, my lord?!
Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared at the door, the faces of everyone in the discussion room suddenly changed, Riku was delighted, and the others were panicked as if they had done something wrong and were caught by their parents on the spot.
Under everyone's gaze, Sixteen Ye grinned, walked to the round table with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his purple star eyes glanced at the faces of everyone present.
"Good evening. Everyone~~"
Sixteen Nights walked to the vacant spot against a boulder and sat down, smiling and greeting everyone.
"Great, good evening, my lord. "
"Good evening!"
"You... Hello. "
In the face of the warm greeting of Sixteen Nights, everyone reluctantly smiled and said hello.
"Come on, continue with the topic we just had. You're "suspicious" of me, right?"
Holding his cheek with his hand, Sixteen Nights glanced indifferently at the Crowe who had just made the suggestion.
The purple eyes that shone like stars, as if all the falsehoods in the world could be seen through by them at a glance.
“..."
Crowe bowed his head and remained silent. Others are even more so – 783
"Why do you want to keep your head down?"
The purple eyes looked down at them who lowered their heads, and Sixteen Night's tone changed, and he poured out in a calm tone.
"You are not wrong, why should you bow your head like a person who has done something wrong and is afraid of being punished?"
Hearing this, everyone slowly raised their heads and looked at the young man with incredible eyes.
"A stranger who has come to his homeland with his worst enemy. If it were me, I would have 'doubted' him as you did, besides. 'Suspicion' is one's own authority, and no one is qualified to control it..... So you have the right to 'doubt' others. "
Skepticism, curiosity, distrust... Fear.
Feeling these gazes condensed on him, Sixteen Nights was expressionless and whispered.
"Okay, so let's imagine that. When you are playing shogi, the opponent suddenly moves the pieces as he pleases, without following the rules. Obviously there is no general, but he is triumphant, with a face that he has won the game. "
Hearing the words of the Sixteen Nights (CFAE), people began to imagine this scenario in their minds, and then they all showed the same expressions......
"How? Would you really like to punch each other? But what if everybody played that game like that?"
That's right – this is 'reality'.
The strong override the desires of all things with their own 'strength', while the 'weak' can only rely on their weak wisdom to keep fleeing, evading, and then seeking their way in this chaotic world.
The weak defeat the strong as the weak
- Be yourself and find the means to surpass yourself
Only by understanding where one's limit is, and then the means to cross this limit, only in this way can the 'weak' be able to defeat the 'strong'.
"Admit it, you are the weakest and lowest race, born without great strength, without the technology of the upper caste, it can be said that you have nothing. Even the aftermath of the battle of the superior species can turn you into dust. "
The desperate situation was sorted out, and the room suddenly fell silent.
The people gathered here were shrouded in feelings of disappointment, despair, and unease.
"Since you are a 'weak', you can obediently accept the identity of a 'weakling', and now even if you are six thousand years later, human beings are also weak. "
However, it is precisely because we were born with nothing that we have the 'hope' to have everything.
At this point, someone seemed to have realized something, and the results that Sixteen Nights wanted began to spread.
"That's right, we are 'weak', and no matter how much time we spend, we can't change this ironclad fact. "
Riku whispered this fact with helplessness.
"No matter how hard the metal is, if it can't be processed, it has no use value, so leave everything you have to me!"
Sixteen Nights slowly stood up, hummed and laughed and said something that surprised everyone.
"Life, status, choice. Let me be responsible for everything, you just need to absolutely 'obey' me and trust me!"
"You..."
Sixteen Nights' words made one of them sit up from the stool with a pale face, glaring angrily at Sixteen Nights as if he was about to say something, but was overwhelmed by the momentum emanating from Sixteen Nights, and the words came to an abrupt end.
"You're trying to say, why should everything you do to me, an 'outsider', decide, right?"
Sixteen Nights narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
I saw him clench his right fist and gently wave his hand and hit the boulder behind him-
"Why? Uncle Ben is better than all of you!"
Click, click, click!
As if in response to the words of the Sixteenth Night, the huge boulder began to crumble in an instant, and countless cracks began to spread under everyone's shocked attention, only to hear a loud bang, the giant stone turned into countless small pieces and exploded.
"Sa, make a choice!
Standing in the middle of the rubble, the corners of Sixteen Night's mouth were slightly raised, looking down at everyone present expectantly.
The word player has two meanings, that is, player (the one who challenges), or (prayer).
Those who follow their own will, move forward, open up the unknown, and challenge the future.
Entrust your will to others, close your eyes, turn your back to the unknown, and entrust the people of the future.
If it were you, what kind of player would you be?
The guide of the 2,000 people who have died of their hearts, the guide who makes the most appropriate choice when necessary.
Carrying the will of those who have fallen, and the will of those who are alive, and who can then move on.
The man who can turn his heart into steel like that - in this world, there is only Riku.
He is the object of unconditional trust of all, and his choices are representative of the will of all.
"We choose to trust you!"
If it's a wrong choice, it's better to regret it than not to do it.
"Believe me, there will be many human beings who will survive to the end of this 'great war'!"
Sixteen Nights stretched out his hand and gently shook the trust that Riku stretched out. _
