Chapter 547: I let you live, not to make you give up!
After telling the story of Namichi, the bunny girl also stated the reason why she wanted Zhou Qing and others to go to the lower level to look for Namichi and her child.
I just want to know if they are safe.
"Whenever I meet someone who wants to come down to explore, I always ask them to help me, but few people come up, and I often miss those who do. After all, the third floor is quite large, and I can't create countless clones to wait all over the waterfalls along the edge of the third floor."
In this situation, the bunny girl can only find ways to make deals with explorers and foreign spirit masters who want to go to the lower levels in order to increase their chances of getting news about Namichi and the others.
Why doesn't she go down herself?
Maybe he was afraid and didn't dare to face Namichi.
“You were an explorer too, right?”
Zhou Qing asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" The bunny girl didn't understand why he suddenly asked this.
"I don't know exactly what kind of adventurous spirit the residents of Abyss have, but I believe that courage is something that explorers must have, right?" Zhou Qing said, "Perhaps, Namichi may be expecting you to go down by yourself, rather than asking others to go down."
The bunny girl squatted on the ground, lowered her head and said, "Now I just want to know what happened to Namichi. If you have the ability, you can even destroy her... I don't want her to live like that anymore. When the time comes, just tell me whether she is alive or not. If she is dead, then I can be relieved."
Zhou Qing was silent.
The bunny girl seemed to have collapsed as well.
For her, the only reason she stayed alive was probably to understand the situation of Namichi and their children. If Namichi had been destroyed by the explorers or foreign spirit masters she had entrusted with the task, then she could commit suicide with peace of mind and seek spiritual relief.
Snapped!
A crisp sound rang out in the tree house.
Riko slapped the bunny girl on the cheek.
Although no red marks were left, the bunny girl was stunned. Before she could react, Riko hugged her again and shouted, "How could you say such a thing? Committing suicide is so irresponsible! It was Namichi who saved you, right? Did she let you live just so you could find someone to help her get rid of the pain, and then you could get rid of it yourself?"
"I absolutely don't believe it!"
"It's the tradition of the Abyss people! We help others in the hope that we can all live together! Teacher Abai once said: Exploration is never the goal! Seek happiness in the adventure! Finding what you really want to do is the real greatness!"
"Namichi saved you, but she definitely didn't want you to commit suicide! That's cowardly! Your friend may no longer be human! Or may be dead! But you must not be depressed because of this, and despair of this world because as long as you are alive, there is definitely hope. Once you choose death, there is really nothing left. Even if you can find the other person's reincarnation in the reincarnation with preserved memories, it is just forcibly intervening in the other person's new life and letting the tragedy enter the next similar reincarnation!"
These words made the bunny girl howl, and she hugged Riko and burst into tears.
This time, the smile on her face disappeared and she started crying for real.
Tang San sighed: "The wisdom of the Abyss people is admirable."
Zhou Qing glanced at Tang San calmly, but he had already started complaining in his heart.
After all, the great God King Tang in Douluo Dalu committed suicide in order to find Xiao Wu's reincarnation... Although he found it in the end and the ending seemed quite perfect, according to Riko's words, he just forcibly intervened in the other party's rebirth, thus causing the cycle of reincarnation to take place.
Through Riko's words, Zhou Qing became more and more aware that although Abyss Town might have lost most of its past historical data, some myths and legends were still preserved.
For example, reincarnation. This concept existed in both the East and the West in the past, but the forms of reincarnation in their myths were slightly different due to different cultures.
But in the final analysis, the nature revealed is the same, that is, the soul can be reincarnated.
Return to the present.
Whether it is the bunny girl or Riko, they are both very straightforward. They say whatever they think, and they seem to instinctively believe more than 70% of what others say.
Zhou Qing even speculated that before people from the outside world of Douluo Continent explored the town of Abyss, the level of trust between the people of Abyss might be as high as 99% or more.
The people of Abyss have different personalities, some are introverts and some are extroverts, but their temperaments seem to be filled with a lovely and sincere childlike innocence, as if time can never erase this.
After a while, the bunny girl regained her original faint smile and said, "Thank you, Riko."
"You're welcome. We're all explorers."
Riko giggled, but she didn't notice that she had never said her name before, but now the bunny girl knew her name.
"Do you know Liko?" Zhou Qing noticed this keenly.
"OK."
This might be the bunny girl's catchphrase. Every time she nodded, she would make such a sound. "I have seen her when she was still in her cradle. At that time, she was placed in a square, transparent soul guide by Ryza, which could avoid the influence of the ascending curse to the greatest extent. However, it should be a one-time prop, or its durability has been exhausted. In any case, when Ryza came down again, she said that the soul guide could not hold up and broke."
Zhou Qing asked in surprise: "Didn't you ask Lisa about Namichi's situation?"
"Asked."
The bunny girl sighed, "She said that as an explorer of Abyss, I should find the answers myself. Living requires more courage than dying. But I... have lost the courage to go down."
Then, the bunny girl said to Riko: "You are a true explorer just like your mother, at least you are qualified in spirit."
"Ah?"
Riko tilted her head, somewhat dissatisfied, but she also understood that she still had a long way to go before becoming a true explorer of Abyss.
Finally, Zhou Qing and the others agreed to the bunny girl's request and accepted the fruits collected by the bunny girl...
···
At the edge of the third layer, a stream of clear water flowed out from under the ground, circling the entire edge of the third layer and flowing downwards.
At this time, Zhou Qing and others also realized what the so-called inner upper layer and outer lower layer meant.
It turns out that this waterfall has two layers superimposed on each other, with an unconnected space of nearly one meter in the middle. The water in the outer layer flows downward at a uniform speed, while the water in the inner layer flows upward at a uniform speed of about ten meters per second.
There is a distance of two kilometers between the third and fourth layers. This water flow must have special energy coverage to be able to maintain such a speed of descent.
The method to get to the fourth floor is also very simple. Just jump into the outer water flow. During the descent, people themselves will not be affected by gravity and enter a state of acceleration. The descent speed is consistent with the descent speed of the water flow. Therefore, the impact force of falling into the ocean of corpses at the bottom will not cause too much impact on the human body, it's just a little painful.
