She inquired about what the Ghostbusters Alliance did recently from Sibao and Lao Guo, so she hugged Xie Yuqing as soon as they met, and gave her silent comfort.
A group of people came to Ye Shaoyang's house.
Lao Guo had rushed to make tablets for several people: those of Xueqi, Yang Gongzi, and Li Linlin. The first thing he did when he got home was to put them together with the tablets of other people.
Tablets, together with the incense burner in front, look like small graves and tombstones.
Looking at the familiar names on the tablets, everyone felt heavy.
"Maybe our name will appear here in the future." Wu Jiawei said silently.
Four Treasures said: "You should have it in the first place, you are already dead."
After tidying up, Sibao went home—he hadn't been home for a long time, and had to go back to see his wife, and the rest of them stayed at Ye Shaoyang's house.
Zhou Jingru ordered takeaway for them, but no one was in the mood to eat.
Ye Shaoyang couldn't sleep, and stayed in the room for a long time in a daze. Later, he came to the living room alone, sat on the sofa, and stared at the memorial tablets on the altar table in a daze.
Zhou Jingru came out of the guest room, sat down beside him, grabbed his hand, and clenched it tightly.
"Is it hard?"
"No, there was a quarrel downstairs before, did you hear that?"
Zhou Jingru froze for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this.
"It's so noisy that you can't sleep?"
"They don't know at all that the world is about to end, let alone that the family living above them is trying to save the world and has sacrificed many companions for it..."
Ye Shaoyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "So I was thinking just now, why? There are billions of people in the world, why should we have thousands of people-there should be only so many people in the magic world, to fight and kill evil things, we bleed Sacrifices are exchanged for peace in the world, but they can't see them all. Countless people waste their lives every day, even arguing over trivial things. Is all this... really meaningful?"
He pointed to the tablets in front of him, "Is their sacrifice meaningful?"
It was the first time Zhou Jingru heard him say such words. She was a little at a loss for a while, pondered for a while, and said, "So, you are a hero, and those people are ordinary people."
"Heroes." Ye Shaoyang sneered, "Do heroes deserve to suffer and face life and death?"
"Yes, that's what a hero should be."
Ye Shaoyang sighed and murmured, "I'm a little tired."
He turned his head to look at Zhou Jingru, and smiled, "I remember when we first met, you once asked me what I would do in the future, and when would it be the best time to catch ghosts."
"It's been almost twenty years." Zhou Jingru nodded, "I still remember you answering that you didn't know, but you enjoyed this feeling very much."
"Yes, I just came down from the mountain at that time, and I was full of longing for such things as slaying demons and demons, and I was very fortunate that I was a mage..."
"What now?"
"Still. I'm proud of what I did, but... I'm tired."
Zhou Jingru hugged his head and leaned on her shoulder.
"Everyone will be tired, tired, just take a rest... I believe what you said just now is just a kind of catharsis... Shaoyang, you have never been lost in this matter, you have a firm belief... at least , you haven't finished your work yet, is it the last step?"
"I'm afraid I won't make it through..."
"Yes, I believe you."
His words made Ye Shaoyang feel warm, and also made him doubtful. He looked up at her and said, "Didn't you always hope that I would return to the life of an ordinary person?"
"That was before, and then I found out that I can't change you. And...Although I don't know much about these people, I also believe that this is almost the last battle, and you can't give up." She praised Picking up his face, "Because you are Ye Shaoyang."
"As for the confusion in your heart...you didn't do all this for strangers, at least you protected us, otherwise I might have been killed by evil things long ago, and they—" She pointed to the tablet on the confession table "I think they never regretted it until they died, because they also protected their loved ones, and... On the contrary, if you give up now, you will be sorry for them. You can only keep fighting, their sacrifices It makes sense!"
Enlightenment!
Ye Shaoyang had an epiphany, and the haze that had lingered in his heart for a long time was also swept away.
That's right, only by continuing to fight can we be worthy of these dead partners!
Ye Shaoyang hugged Zhou Jingru's neck forcefully.
"I don't think we've ever aged, at least you... are still the boy you were back then."
Zhou Jingru whispered in his ear.
Ten minutes later, the two came to the rooftop on the top floor. This was Zhou Jingru's suggestion. Since she couldn't fall asleep, she might as well go blow some air and relax, so she brought a bottle of red wine.
The two sat on the edge of the roof, watching the night view of the city late at night, drinking red wine and chatting.
Guagua never misses this kind of opportunity to be a light bulb, quietly squeezed into the middle of them, it feels good to just sit like this, and does not participate in their chat.
Ye Shaoyang felt Zhou Jingru's empathy, and in order to help her relax, she talked about some of the past, how the people she knew were doing now, and so on.
"Do you remember her?" Zhou Jingru opened the phone's browser, entered a name, and handed it to Ye Shaoyang.
Among the searched results, there were many photos of a girl. Ye Shaoyang recognized at a glance that it was Zhuang Yuning, dressed in different ways, and she still looked so young.
At the top is a piece of news about her. The title is: The Immortal Goddess Zhuang Yuning is once again finalized to appear as the number one female in a certain I drama, or she will set off another frenzy of ratings...
"What is a goddess of immortality?" Ye Shaoyang scratched his head, and then suddenly remembered that this is 2035... Zhuang Yuning is almost forty years old, the key is that she debuted twenty years ago, and she is absolutely perfect in the entertainment industry. Be an old man.
"Isn't she a singer, why has she started acting now?"
Zhou Jingru said helplessly: "Your information is too outdated, don't you usually use your mobile phone or read the news?"
Then he sighed and said, "That's right, it's not long since you came back, and you've been busy with business, so you don't have time to pay attention to this."
"That's not true." Ye Shaoyang smiled, "The main thing... is that I haven't changed my cognition. Well, I always feel that I am not a person of this era, and I am a little resistant to new information."
Just as Zhou Jingru was about to speak, Ye Shaoyang said: "I know there is a problem with this idea, wait... let's deal with these, and when I really have free time, I will try to adapt to this world."
