Chapter 222 Choice
Horn rarely woke up at this time, and in fact, the Ark rarely entered this state.

Most of the time on the Sea of ​​Sin, people will not be arranged to go to the island until they reach the stage of collective hallucination.

Of course, there are occasional slip-ups, like this one.

But Horn clearly felt that the people around him were still in the illusion.

Everyone stood still, looking at the wall.

The cabin where Horn was located was a relatively good cabin. Its population density was far lower than that of the cabins below, but there were still about a dozen people.

At this moment, all these people were staring at the wall in a daze with their backs to Horn.

Horn realized something was wrong.

"I don't have any abilities, how could I wake up early?"

Just as Horn realized this, he heard a voice.

"Horn, I am from the future, and in the future I once fought alongside you, trying to break the Captain's rule over the Ark."

These words came out of nowhere.

Horn was thinking:

"Oh, it turns out that I didn't wake up early, but I'm still in a hallucination. This hallucination is interesting... Is it a projection of my subconscious mind? I long for someone to fight alongside me."

Just as Horn was thinking this, the voice said again:
"I know you may not believe it, but you in the future even gave me a message. As long as you hear this message, you will believe me. Of course, it is not ruled out that you think this is an illusion, so everything you hear in the illusion is reasonable."

"But then, everyone will wake up. If you believe it's an illusion, then you might as well try to start a riot in the illusion, and then follow the scene you see... and keep running away."

"We need a particularly large disturbance, preferably one that will attract the captain's attention."

The one who was talking to Horn was naturally Wen Xishu, but the message was delivered by Sirius.

Wen Xishu also told Horn's secret. In an emergency, he didn't care if Sirius would know about it.

That secret actually meant nothing to Sirius. But it meant a lot to Horn and Wen Xishu. It was a common point in their experience, something they had both done as children.

It’s just that what Horn did was not as outrageous as what Wen Xishu did, but Horn still did it.

In fact, Wen Xishu knew that the person who told him this kind of thing, Horn, who was the future version of Horn in the Ghost Tower... really regarded him as a friend.

After hearing this secret, Horn immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What should I do?"

Even if this is an illusion, even if it is a subconscious projection, but when this matter is mentioned, it is my brain suggesting that this is a very important "illusion".

Wen Xishu began to talk about Horn's plan.

Horn was quite rational and was not surprised that the other party knew all this. After all, the more critical information was known.

"No problem. If I can get everyone sober, I can make that riot happen in fifteen minutes."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Wen Xishu said sincerely.

Although Horn is not a powerful person on the Ark, he has a far-reaching plan.

Wen Xishu always felt that if Horn could go to the bunker, then let Horn climb the tower a few times and get a few sequences... Even if Horn did not have the Dice of Insanity, he could still become the second only to himself in the tower helper.

Sirius also didn't expect that... there would be ordinary people on the Ark who dared to plot against the captain.

"He's just a man with disabled legs and no special abilities, how could he have such big ambitions?" Sirius said to Wen Xishu in surprise.

Wen Xishu said:
"He has a good brain. He can be patient, has a big picture, and has a sense of justice, but he also knows how to sacrifice. To be honest... I admire him very much."

This escape has made Sirius realize how important Wen Xishu is.

Wen Xishu might not be clear about it himself, but Sirius was keenly aware that Wen Xishu seemed like an unpredictable variable.

And in the future, many powerful people will gather around you.

Since such a person would admire a person with disabled legs, then this disabled person must have some outstanding qualities.

Sirius said:
"let's start."

Wen Xishu nodded.

Horn in the distance also let out a breath.

Horn could actually feel that this was not an illusion... because a large number of people began to wake up and everyone's reactions were very real.

This is what really happened. If this is a scam——

Then all his plans will be exposed.

But he chose to take a gamble.

He soon began to contact everyone with the help of the Ark's equipment, and an unprecedented turmoil was about to begin.

Sirius has completely controlled his body at this time. The so-called hallucination was released by the sea beast, but the sea beast is Sirius's pet.

It is a creature from the sea created by Sirius, and he can control it completely.

When the giant beast of the sea of ​​evil lifted the illusion, the first reaction of the captain and others was that they thought it had entered the new stage, because the people who were arranged to land on the island had already entered.

This means that something has been invaded inside Sirius.

It was also at this time that Horn began to organize riots.

Sirius was a little worried at first. Could a guy in a wheelchair really divert the attention of the captain and others through the organization?
But soon, hearing the alarm on the ship and feeling the massive footsteps of the Ark...

Sirius was shocked.

How long has this been prepared in secret? No... this cannot be done by just relying on time. How long has the Ark been around?

Although he couldn't see the whole picture, Sirius knew that to create a riot of this scale, to convince so many ordinary people to risk their lives...

This requires strong leadership and charisma, as well as the ability to see through the essence of others. Of course, the captain must also be cruel and ruthless enough.

Sirius sighed:
"It's really amazing..."

Wen Xishu once complained about himself that whenever he gave a speech, he would criticize the price of bread exceeding 500,000 marks.

Now that I think about it, Horn is really another version of myself, although there are many differences between the two.

The huge turmoil attracted everyone's attention, and because the scale was so large, even von Neumann received orders.

At this moment, the sea monster calmed down, and everyone was released from the illusion...

To everyone, it seemed like the landing on the island was successful, and everything started to go according to procedure.

Sirius didn't need to worry about it at this time. However, such a big turmoil also forced the senior executives on the ship to pay attention.

Wen Xishu also asked a key question at this time:
"What exactly is the captain's ability? Why can he control you? Why did the world you created lose a certain concept?"

Sirius did not hide it:

"That is a very advanced sequence called the Weakness Path. The path is a ritual. The terrifying thing about this sequence is that it can create weaknesses for anyone."

"This weakness can be decided by the owner of the sequence. Whether it is a weakness that can kill the opponent or a weakness that can control the opponent."

"To put it simply, the captain used this sequence to create a weakness that can control me. After I have this weakness, the world I created will lose a certain concept."

"And the captain must build a path, that is, a ritual, and a price in order to ensure that this weakness always exists."

"The price is to allow eight or more people to enter the world I created... and lose these concepts together."

"Of course, the difference between my abilities and the captain's... no, to be exact, it's the difference in status that makes the weakness created by the captain unstable, so it's possible that someone will awaken my lost concepts in the world I created."

"you did it."

Wen Xishu was shocked after hearing this. This ability is indeed terrifying. In a sense, as long as the captain has enough sacrifices...

He can even enslave God.

……

…On the other side, when Sirius was talking to Wen Xishu, Sirius's rotten flesh and blood also began to guide Horn. When Horn started the greatest turmoil in history—

Sirius helped Horn clear the way.

Guided by Sirius, Horn began to climb along the Ark's pipe.

Although Horn felt a little uncomfortable because of the rotten flesh growing on the walls of the pipe, he made almost no noise during the climbing process.

The rotten flesh and blood led the way and finally successfully guided Horn to the utility room where Wen Xishu was previously.

"Horn, right here, don't move."

The riots continued to spread, and von Neumann had received orders.

After von Neumann's aura completely disappeared, Wen Xishu and Sirius also began to escape from prison.

They have to go back along the time turbulence again.

But this time, after becoming familiar with all the scenes, Wen Xishu and Sirius felt very confident.

For example, when experiencing certain rule scenarios, they are very clear about what the rules are.

When they returned to the underground passage far away in Fengcheng, the two did not say much and decisively chose to go straight to the escape point.

When he appeared again on the chessboard battlefield between Leo and Scorpio, the person playing the chess - the future Wen Xishu, had already known all this and arranged for someone to take Wen Xishu back to the prison from the church.

Yes, when leaving, you go back from the prison to the church, and when coming back, you have to go back from the church to the prison.

Wen Xishu and Sirius have a good understanding of each other.

The two of them quickly returned to the first time point, the city that ate human children. But now, Wen Xishu no longer had the heart to study which city this was.

He and Sirius ran all the way, not caring about the gazes of the monsters around them.

It can be said that compared to the first time, Wen Xishu was almost a speed runner.

If Scorpio sees this, he will definitely sigh——

Why didn't he use the ability to load the save file?

In fact, this was not the first time that Wen Xishu had obtained the ability to read save files, but Wen Xishu was indeed able to do it without any mistakes every time he encountered such a situation.

Even Sirius was surprised. It was hard to imagine that escaping from Pisces' time prison would be a speedrunner.

Wen Xishu's intuition is as strong as the experience of a veteran facing a familiar level.

The last and initial node was finally broken through.

When Wen Xishu and Sirius opened their eyes, Horn had already appeared in their sight.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but sweat.

"From the future to now... we are finally together again."

Horn thought for a moment and said:
"It seems... my future self trusts you. But I have a question - if you succeed in changing the past, then that future doesn't exist, right?"

"If that future doesn't exist, does this past still exist?"

Horn is always thinking.

Wen Xishu actually thought that if he changed the past, he would not meet Horn again in the future.

But Wen Xishu soon realized that this was the normal logic of time. But what he was experiencing was not the normal logic of time.

Because what I experienced was that I was transferred from the Weird Tower to the Desire Tower through an invitation letter.

In other words, because everything about the Weird Tower is so similar to the Desire Tower, it looks like the Desire Tower of the future. But in fact, Wen Xishu did not come from the future to the past.

He just moved from the Tower of Trick to the Tower of Desire.

When the Desire Tower changes, the three towers will automatically simulate the timeline. This is a variable outside of Pisces, a force that Pisces cannot match.

To be precise, this is something that all twelve zodiac signs must abide by - the rules of the Three Towers Game.

"Don't worry. If the source is the future, then the grandfather paradox will arise... But the source of the game I experienced is in the Desire Tower. Oh, you don't know what the Desire Tower is yet? I'll tell you later, but Horn, we have to go!"

Horn said:

"So... your plan is to escape from the Ark? You are all people with special abilities, right?"

Sirius said:
"Horn, don't worry. I can take you with me with my ability. There is no hope if you stay on the Ark."

Wen Xishu's heart skipped a beat.

broken……

Horn shook his head and said:
"You mean you want to escape? That's fine. Since my future self is willing to tell you my secrets... then my future self will definitely trust you."

"But I can't abandon the Ark!"

If one day, Albert was asked to abandon the bunker, he might agree, but what if he was asked to abandon everyone in the bunker?
Then the meaning of his efforts would cease to exist.

This is what Horn is like at this moment, so Wen Xishu can understand it very well.

"Horn, we don't have much time. If the captain and von Neumann notice this, the turmoil will only lure the snake out of its hole...all our efforts will be in vain."

Horn shook his head:

"You have no idea how long this turmoil will take, how many lives will be sacrificed, and what kind of future they believe in when they start the turmoil and attract the captain's attention..."

"Now, you want me to leave after they realize their mistakes and make sacrifices?"

There is really not much time left, and Wen Xishu knows very well that it would be very difficult to get Horn to give up saving the Ark.

Wen Xishu sighed:
"I'm sorry, Horn."

Wen Xishu was about to raise his hand to strike with a knife, but Horn immediately determined Wen Xishu's intention:
"You're ruining my dreams."

These words made Wen Xishu stop what he was doing.

Horn's eyes looked very much like Albert's at this moment:
"I don't know why my future self would trust you...but I think it must be because I admire you and you respect me."

"I can't abandon the people of the Ark. Maybe your world has your own answer. But for me, the Ark is the one I want to make the correct answer."

Wen Xishu suddenly wanted to knock Horn out and take him away.

Let Sirius take Horn away, or go back to the guide, send Ding Dong's receipt letter, and let Ding Dong find the two of them.

But if that happens, Horn will suffer great torment in his heart, right?
If Horn really had no emotions, as he said at the beginning, he was just simulating human emotions... a purely rational being, then Wen Xishu would take action.

But Wen Xishu knew very well that Horn was not emotionless.

Wen Xishu was also very clear that he had never been the bad person he claimed to be.

"Damn it, Horn! Do you know what you will face if you stay? You are just an ordinary person..."

How can you, an ordinary person, defeat the Captain and von Neumann?
When the words came to his lips, Wen Xishu stopped.

Because Horn just shook his head secretly:

"I have to stay. You guys go quickly. I believe what I am doing is right. I believe your leaving will have a good impact in the future."

"But I have to save the Ark. This is what I live for and what I am willing to die for."

The sea monster no longer lurks, and the scarlet sea fog once again covers the huge ark.

The sea monster attacked again, which made von Neumann and others realize that something was wrong.

Time is really running out. Sirius also began to turn the bulkhead into flesh and blood, opening a passage that led to the inside of the body of the sea monster.

The behemoth of the sea of ​​evil will hit the Ark, and the part hit will merge with the flesh and blood of Sirius, which will be the exit to escape from the Ark.

Wen Xishu knew that he had to be decisive, but he was facing the most difficult decision he had ever made.

Is it for the friend's own good to take him away, or is it to trust this friend and let him fight for a future that is almost impossible to achieve?
