The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

On the other side, in Binbeichong Industrial Park, Ashley was dragged by the man behind her to a corner of the warehouse filled with heavy-duty shelves. The man quickly took out a pair of handcuffs from his clothes, handcuffed one of Ashley's hands to a shelf column, then walked up to Ashley and said softly:"Please stay here for a while. , I will come back to you after this battle is over."

Ashley raised her head, and through the faint light in the warehouse, she saw clearly that the man was Brad, whom she was very familiar with, and she couldn't help but screamed in surprise Said:"Brad, it turns out you are the bastard!"

Brad smiled and said:"Yes. It's me, the bastard. To be honest, I didn't expect you to follow those guys to the battlefield. What a bad thing. It's your choice. You really shouldn't follow, this is destined to be a dead end. You underestimate Hill too much. You also underestimate me, the former Delta Force squadron leader. Although we can't hide our whereabouts, it's because In this way, our defense must be tighter than ever. It is not easy to"decapitate" us. What's more, almost half of your team was trained by me, and almost every move you make is Within our expectations, it's just a trick, and it's hard not to lose."

Ashley said calmly:"Even if the probability of success is slim, it's still worth a try. It's better than sitting back and waiting for death."

Brad said:"That's true. Also, never giving up is exactly your style. This is why I like you. In any case, it is a blessing for me to see you on the battlefield. I am very happy to meet you again. Happy, I thought I would never have the chance to see you again in this life. I have a lot to say to you, many, many things. But I am still busy now. Just wait for me here first, after I finish everything , will come back to you right away." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave the warehouse

"Why don't you kill me, I'm your enemy! Ashley stared at Brad's back and said coldly.

Brad stopped, turned around, and said coolly:"Needless to say, of course it's because I don't want to give up." Otherwise, why would I go to all the trouble to bring you here. After hearing this

, Ashley said excitedly:"Really? Didn't you always act in dramas before?" Do you really love me? After Brad was silent for a while, he said with a rare serious expression:"I'm not acting, I really love you." I'm just so in love that I can't help myself. I have never loved someone so truly as I do now. It's just a pity that because of the different philosophies between the two of us, I have to do something that makes you sad. I'm really sorry and guilty, but I have to do it."

Although she was in the enemy camp, Ashley was still very moved when she heard Brad's sincere confession. Then, she also said sincerely:"The concept you mentioned is the so-called"return of all things" plan Bar. Brad, you know, I've been thinking about a lot of things these days since the Silicon Valley War, especially about you. I also specifically re-read your profile and recalled a lot of conversations you had once had, and also talked a lot with a psychiatrist. Later, I finally understood your thoughts, even better than you yourself. Now, I can forgive your betrayal, but I really don't think you will get what you really want by doing this. After hearing this

, Brad turned around, looked at Ashley in surprise, and said doubtfully:"Do you really understand what I think?" Then tell me what you think I think, I'm all ears.

Ashley said slowly:"You once told me about Mayfly. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when I thought about it later, I realized how deeply you felt about Mayfly's life." The reason why you care so much about mayflies that you even customized a custom-made amber pendant containing mayfly specimens to hang on your body is because you are afraid that your life will be like a mayfly, meaningless and worthless.. This explains why you are willing to help Hill realize the"Return of Everything" plan - such a terrifying and terrifying plan. Hill, he used an incredible theory to try to explain the meaning of human life, and then used the"All Things Return" plan to give his followers a so-called"sacred mission", and these things are exactly what you need , can eliminate your deepest fears and make you feel as if you have found your life goal. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal in life, you are willing to pay any price, even betraying your motherland, betraying your comrades, or even... betraying me. You think it's all worth it and inevitable. Is it right?"

Brad didn't expect Ashley to see him so thoroughly, and was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses, sighed, and said with a wry smile:"You are so awesome. Yes, he guessed all my ideas correctly. She is truly the woman I love deeply. I am so impressed by your wisdom. I was thinking about how to explain it to you before, but now it’s better, it saves me a lot of trouble. I know you won't agree with my thoughts, but at least now you understand that I'm not a scumbag who casually deceives your feelings, and that's enough. Ashley said:"

Brad, have you ever thought about why you have such fear, fear that life is meaningless?" Brad was stunned for a moment, thought about it, shook his head and said,"To be honest, I haven't thought about it." But does it matter?"

He really had never seriously thought about the source of this fear. For him, he cared more about the answer to the question rather than the source of the problem.

Ashley said seriously:"It's important, very important, because this is what you do. Motive for everything. Do you want to hear my opinion? Brad shrugged and said,"Okay, anyway, there is still some time before the next wave of offensive, so we might as well chat for a while." I'd like to hear the details."
