Chapter 1545: Zhao Lin’s Hesitation, Unwillingness, Desire, and Belief
Zhao Lin was stared at by Myriad Star Path until her hair stood on end.
She took two steps back, and under the dissatisfied gazes of Lisette and Eve, she hid behind Ye Qiyan.
“Th-That, I don’t know either. I picked it up when I just arrived yesterday. I thought there had to be some special method to become a Blasphemy Card…”
“Could it be… because I didn’t win its recognition at all, that’s why…”
Zhao Lin spoke up to this point, and actually stepped back again in disappointment, moving a little further away from those three fragments.
Clearly at the previous Stop, she had mustered up all her Courage, exchanging it for the unluckiest moment of her life, just to obtain this fragment at this Stop.
But the fragment was obtained, yet it didn’t become a card.
Her confidence was disappearing bit by bit.
“How about… you guys give it to Brother Qiyan and the boss…”
She still wanted to step back, but a hand directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
“Where are you running to?”
Zhao Lin raised her head, her eye sockets turning slightly red.
“Brother Qiyan…”
“Since when does a Train Captain need the recognition of a Card Series?”
Ye Qiyan pulled her in front of him, gave her a push from behind, and curled his lips in equal disgust.
“Besides, if I wanted to get the Blasphemy Card Fragments in your hands, rather than being gifted by you, it would be better to directly coerce and lure you, take them by force, and give you a severe beating. The fragments snatched like this would barely be considered something I obtained myself.”
“How about it?”
“Do you want to try?”
Since Zhao Lin had already obtained three fragments, she would definitely be able to possess a Blasphemy Card.
Ye Qiyan had no interest in other people’s Blasphemy Cards.
Compared to Card Series, the existence of a Blasphemy Card was even purer.
Whoever obtained it, it represented a certain pure belief in that person’s heart coming to fruition.
If the desire was strong enough and the belief was great enough, the moment the three fragments appeared, they would definitely be able to forge a Blasphemy Card.
But right now, Zhao Lin hadn’t.
“Why?”
Was her desire not strong enough?
No.
If her desire was not strong enough, it would be impossible for her to obtain the fragments.
Was her belief not firm enough?
No!
If her belief was not firm, given her Talent of intertwined spiral good luck and bad luck, how could she have survived until now?
It was because she was hesitating.
Hesitating about what?
Ye Qiyan didn’t know; after all, he couldn’t read minds.
“F-Fight with Brother Qiyan… I can’t do it at all… How could I possibly beat you, Brother Qiyan…”
Zhao Lin still had that weak appearance, but when she was pushed back in front of those three fragments by Ye Qiyan, she bit her lower lip and said softly:
“But if, according to what Brother Qiyan and the boss said, three fragments can form a card, why didn’t mine turn into a card?”
“Could it be because… I obtained them simply due to good luck, forcibly acquiring them with good luck?”
Was she doubting herself?
Doubting that she was just a lucky person who grew to this point relying on good luck?
Zhao Lin wasn’t that stupid.
Ye Qiyan knew, and Myriad Star Path knew as well.
“However, my good luck was exchanged for bad luck. I endured one bout of bad luck after another, escaped death by the skin of my teeth at the Stops again and again, and even died many times. If it weren’t for Brother Qiyan’s help, I wouldn’t have had any chance to live until now.”
“I wanted the Blasphemy Card Fragments.”
“So during those moments of super good luck, I was able to obtain a fragment.”
“Now… the three fragments have already appeared.”
“Why?”
She raised her head and stared directly at the fragments that showed no movement at all.
“Why didn’t they become a card? The only reason I can think of is that I don’t deserve to possess a Blasphemy Card, but… I am so unwilling…”
Tears were brewing in Zhao Lin’s already red eye sockets.
“Clearly I’ve worked so hard, clearly I’m not without things I want to obtain, nor without that incomparably yearning existence, why… why is this?”
There was a crying tone in her voice as she knelt on the ground, covering her face with her hands, not wanting her tears to flow out.
In the wilderness, hard work would definitely be rewarded.
She worked hard, yet the result of her hard work turned out like this.
How could Zhao Lin be resigned to this?
Myriad Star Path didn’t speak, only sweeping her gaze over Zhao Lin and Ye Qiyan. Immediately afterwards, as if suddenly realizing, she struck her palm with her fist, smilingly sidled up to Ye Qiyan’s side—this time not stopped by the Wandering Star Holy Mark—and spoke:
“Hey hey~ Brother Ye, guess what Little Sister Zhao’s desire actually is?”
“How would I know? Also, you’re standing too close, get away from me.”
Myriad Star Path didn’t move away, instead getting even closer. Standing on tiptoe, she whispered in Ye Qiyan’s ear with a voice only the two of them could hear:
“Hee hee~ I probably know why this card hasn’t been completely born yet.”
Ye Qiyan took the initiative to move away from Myriad Star Path, while Lisette and Eve directly blocked the space between the two of them.
Actually, without Myriad Star Path even saying it, Ye Qiyan could roughly guess it.
Just as he had sensed earlier.
Zhao Lin was hesitating.
The point of her hesitation was definitely not whether she deserved to get a Blasphemy Card.
Rather, it was what kind of desire this Blasphemy Card was going to carry.
Ye Qiyan’s desires were endless; every day, every moment he had things he wanted to do.
When he was weak, his greatest desire was to become stronger—to become stronger without being controlled by others, without any constraints, and to move forward freely.
Thus.
The appearance of The Anchor made everything unable to bind him.
The Judge made him a lofty Judge.
The Dream Weaver allowed his curiosity about the past to be satisfied.
The Dominator used absolute Control to ensure that his own power was not denied.
Blasphemy Cards were free.
As long as a certain desire and belief reached the peak of self when obtaining three fragments, the fragments would become a card.
He was like this, Myriad Star Path was like this, and other people who possessed Blasphemy Cards were also like this.
Then, what about Zhao Lin?
She was hesitating—what on earth was she hesitating about?
Ye Qiyan walked up to Zhao Lin, raised his hand, and knocked her on the top of the head.
“Wuwu… Brother Qiyan?”
“What are you thinking about?”
“Eh?”
“I mean, what on earth do you want to obtain?”
“I, I…”
Zhao Lin looked blankly at Ye Qiyan.
Their gazes intersected for an instant, and she immediately lowered her head.
She wanted to…
Pursue.
Pursue Ye Qiyan’s footprints on that infinite path.
Originally it was just like this…
But after leaving the previous Stop and returning to the wilderness.
Zhao Lin, who was saved by Ye Qiyan once again, had a dream that night.
In the dream, she no longer just pursued footprints; in the dream, she… could see from afar, on that path, Ye Qiyan’s back located on that endless horizon.
Even though it was still distant, even though she still couldn’t catch up, but…
[“What on earth do I want to obtain…”]
She fell into deep thought, further questioning her own heart.
Ye Qiyan did not continue asking, nor did he even use Bewitchment.
He merely glanced at those three fragments.
Just a moment ago.
Those three fragments stirred slightly.
Zhao Lin had to figure it out herself; for this kind of thing, no one would help her.
Once she figured it out, a new Blasphemy Card would be born.
He walked straight out of this room, and Myriad Star Path immediately followed him, hands behind her back, body slightly leaning forward, tilting her head to look into his eyes and asking with a giggle:
“Brother Ye~ Is this really alright? Wouldn’t it be better to directly use Bewitchment to question her and force her to say it out~”
“Doesn’t using a Card Series consume Mental Power? Lunatic. Speaking of which, I remember someone saying they wanted to get a second Blasphemy Card. How many fragments do you have?”
Myriad Star Path’s smile abruptly stopped. She puckered her lips, revealing a solitary fragment wrapped within a cluster of starlight.
“Sigh~ Among Little Sister Zhao’s three fragments, two of them were also found by yours truly. That way, I would have directly obtained a second one, oh.”
“However, back when I first saw Little Sister Zhao, I went to steal her Talent. Even though I paid a very painful price, all that bad luck completely left me.”
“Yet this is fate~”
“It serves me right.”
“Hee hee.”
