"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," said the woman in white. "If you are really that child's friend, you should listen to me and withdraw from this war."
"Why?"
"I appreciate your heroic act of standing up for your friend. Unfortunately, not everything in this world can be shared with others. Sometimes, you must learn to bear it all alone. Some roads can only be taken by one person, and some battles can only be fought by one person. This is her battle, not yours."
"Which side are you on?" Zhang Heng frowned.
This was actually the question he wanted to ask a long time ago. Previously, the woman said that even if Arc of Light could accept the proposal of a truce, she would not accept it. Zhang Heng initially thought it was because of some unsolvable conflict between the woman in white and Shen Xixi, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
Zhang Heng could hear the compliments in her words to Shen Xixi. On the other hand, she stood in front of Zhang Heng, preventing him from finding the person hiding in the hotel. It was clear that she didn't want to end this war.
"I am not from 'which side'. I am not from Arc of Light, nor am I from the union," said the woman in white. "I am just walking on my own path."
"Then your path is a bit overbearing," Zhang Heng said. "Do you still care what others do?"
The woman in white smiled, "I don't care what others do, but I have to care about that child because she is walking the same path as me."
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "You are not human?"
Although the man's description was a little abstract, Zhang Heng only understood one thing. "Are you using this method to select an agent?" asked Zhang Heng.
"You are very observant, but unfortunately, we are not on the same path," the woman in white said lightly. The woman in white said faintly, "Although you also have a righteous act, I can tell from the way you fired the gun without asking anything. You only choose to accompany justice when it doesn't harm your interests. In fact, you don't have any faith or beliefs in your heart."
"Justice? Are you Themis or Astria? No, you are Justitia. "Zhang Heng finally confirmed the identity of the visitor.
The first god that came to Zhang Heng's mind was Themis, the goddess of law in ancient Greek mythology who presided over justice and order. She was the second wife of Zeus, and she was the one who maintained order on Mount Olympus. Most statues of her looked serious, holding a tray in one hand and a scepter in the other. Astria, on the other hand, was a girl who radiated a bright light, holding a torch and thunder. She was also the goddess of stars and purity.
However, the most famous goddess of justice was still Justitia. She was an image created by the ancient Romans by combining all the gods related to justice in Greek mythology. She held a sword in one hand and a balance in the other. At the same time, she was blindfolded, implying that she would always pursue the truth and not be blinded by the senses.
Although she only had a sword, no balance, and was not blindfolded, her white dress was still very conspicuous. In Zhang Heng's memory, Justitia was a goddess who loved the color white because it symbolized morality and righteousness.
During the Renaissance, there were many statues of Justitia outside almost every court. Even today, there were still many statues of Justitia outside European courts. Almost no one in the legal profession did not know her name. Therefore, unlike the weak gods that were almost eliminated by history, although Justitia was also an ancient god, she was also one of the powerful ones. Her strength was likely above that of Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Zhang Heng wasn't sure if he could defeat her.
To be honest, Zhang Heng did not expect Shen Xixi to be chosen by the goddess of justice. As Justitia said, Shen Xixi was destined to walk this path. Justitia should have been paying attention to her for quite some time. With Shen Xixi's perseverance, intelligence, and strength, she was undoubtedly the best choice for an agent.
"Since she is your person, why are you stopping me?" Zhang Heng looked into Justitia's eyes.
"In fact, there is a seed of justice in everyone's heart, but it's not easy to water this seed into a towering tree. Suffering is the best nutrient for growth. The road to the light is destined to be full of thorns. I must see if she has enough courage to carry out her beliefs," Justitia said sternly. "As I said before, this is her war, and it has nothing to do with others. In fact, I was the one who convinced the president of Arc of Light to go to war with the union."
"So, all this is just a test for her to become an official member? For this, you did not hesitate to provoke a war between the two forces and sacrifice the lives of others? "Zhang Heng shook his head." What kind of justice is this? "
This is a conflict of interests between the two sides. The president of Arc of Light is a typical businessman. No matter what, he can always make the most rational choice. In a sense, the two of you have a lot in common. This city can only accommodate two players, and he will not allow a third party to exist. Therefore, there will be a war between Arc of Light and the union. If it's not today, it will be tomorrow. "
"Then why not tomorrow? When the union grows up, even if it still can't resist Arc of Light, at least it won't disintegrate like today. "
"What's the point? The final winner will still be Arc of Light, and by that time, I'm afraid it won't end in one battle. Thousands of players will be involved, and it will eventually evolve into a protracted war. More people will be injured and die, and more people like you who have nothing to do with this matter will be involved. The union might as well disintegrate today."
"So, you want Shen Xixi to surrender?"
"I don't want her to surrender," Justitia shook her head. "I want to see her fight and fight for the justice in her heart, no matter how small her strength is and how slim her hope is. Justice does not mean victory. Although we all believe that the light will come, before that, we must tread in the darkness. This is her darkness, and also her dawn."
Zhang Heng was silent for a moment when he heard that. In the end, he put down the CS5 in his hand. Just when Justitia thought she had convinced him, and a smile appeared on her face, Zhang Heng took out two Nepalese army knives from his backpack and held them in his hand. At the same time, he said to her, "I don't think people like Shen Xixi need you to arrange a path for her. What she is doing is not for anyone's approval. She is not the same kind of person as an emotionless person like you."
