Chapter 320 Being calculated
Just as Zuo Xi guessed, Shen He really came up with this plan. If it were anyone else, Zuo Xi would probably judge that the other person wanted Mandrill to learn to think from others' perspective, and use this to make him give up the idea of self-sacrifice. But Shen He is a kid with a straightforward mind, a kind heart, and a strong streak of ruthlessness. So she probably really thought it was feasible after hearing Mandrill's method, so she decided to do it herself.
However, as expected, Shen He's proposal was unanimously opposed by everyone, including Mandrill. Ye Lan used this to refute Mandrill's idea of self-sacrifice. Yan Fei immediately understood what Ye Lan meant and then followed suit. Naturally, Zuo Xi had already stepped aside to watch the show, and took out snacks along the way.
Therefore, the current situation is that Mandrill and Shen He each hold their own opinions, and they insist on taking the responsibility themselves when they do not agree with the other's sacrifice. Yelan, Jiuqi Ren and Yanfei tried to persuade each other. Yanfei jumped anxiously and Yelan was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. The three parties stand in opposition to each other and no one gives in to the other.
"What, you can't sit still? You don't trust your teammates that much?"
Arataki Yidou didn't know when he came to Zuo Xi, and Zuo Xi generously distributed his snacks. After all, he knew what the big guy was planning now, but he still wanted to see these people quarreling for a while longer. Therefore, it is necessary to appease Arataki Yitou's mood.
"Good brother, please give me a sure message, can we go out?"
Zuo Xi had never seen Arataki Yidou look so serious. For a moment, he couldn't help but pause while passing snacks to his mouth.
However, just after such a meal, the snack bag in his hand was snatched away. By the time he reacted, Arataki Ito had already poured the contents into his mouth. Then, Zuo Xi got an empty snack bag.
What a good guy, I was actually tricked by Arataki Yidou. This ghost is more awesome than me, I can’t keep him!
"Hahahahahaha, look at you like that... Hey, hey, don't be too embarrassed!"
Arataki Yidou laughed out loud at the disbelieving expression on Zuo Xi's face, and then his smile immediately froze when he saw a familiar silhouette vaguely visible in the sky.
"Tsk, I don't have the same experience as you...you asked me if I can go out? Ha, if it were you...no, pretend I didn't say it. If it were A-nin...tsk, she can't either...forget it, Anyway, I don’t do anything I’m not sure about. No one can be left behind on this trip.”
Zuo Xi wanted to say, "If it were you, would you come in without knowing whether you could go out?" Then he suddenly thought that he was talking to Arataki Yidou. This stupid green man could really do this. This kind of thing...or maybe he has actually done this kind of thing.
So Zuo Xi changed his mind and wanted to use the smarter Kuki Nin as an example, but he suddenly thought that Kuki Nin seemed to have jumped without knowing the way forward... Zuo Xi was also lost for a while. example. It's not that he can't think of people who can be used as examples. Among his colleagues, except for Ajax and Rosalin, every one of them is a perfect example.
But the problem is that Arataki Yito doesn't understand these examples, and it would be a waste of time to tell him. So Zuo Xi simply stopped beating around the bush and chose the most direct way of expression that Arataki Yidou could accept - that is, say what you want without making any detours.
"Hahahahaha... I feel reassured by what you said as a good brother! What will they do then? It seems like the quarrel will continue?"
Arataki Ichito is indeed a bit naive, but he is not a fool after all. The current atmosphere is so tense, anyone can tell that something is wrong. What's more, he has the kind of character that values the group, so he doesn't want this to happen.
However, probably because he has been around for a long time with Kuuki Shinobu helping him with suggestions and advice, Ichito Arataki has no objection to "asking for the wisdom of others". On the contrary, it is quite handy in finding an "external brain" nearby.
"Let them quarrel. This conflict is destined to break out. Even if it can be avoided with my help this time, they will quarrel with others for the same reason next time."
When a contradiction already exists objectively, what we have to do is to detonate it while it is still within control.
Zhongli asked him to take care of Mandrill, so there would be no problem in solving the hidden dangers. Mandrill's problem is not that he doesn't understand the value of life, but that he has become accustomed to risking his life and thus ignores this point. Under normal circumstances, this is not a big deal, but for Yasha, who mainly kills people, this is even a very good quality.
But in Zuo Xi's view, Mandrill's misestimation of the value of his life may lead to a very "uneconomical" situation. In short, he is likely to treat the "hole cards" that must be used at the last moment as ordinary "big cards". Turn the "win" situation into a "lose" situation. What might have been a "best of both worlds" solution will have to become "the lesser of two evils."
But in the final analysis, Mandrill and Shen He, as well as Ye Lan and Yan Fei. Neither of their claims can be wrong, but for others, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen from the standpoint of "companions".
"That's not okay. Arguing is bad behavior after all. In short, all you need to do now is "hit hard" somewhere, right? Good brother, tell me where that place is? "
Everyone has their own persistence, but Arataki Yitou just doesn't like to see his companions fighting among themselves. In the face of difficulties, only unity can win. How can there be a team that can win despite arguing and arguing?
"……Ugh."
Having said this, his plan to continue watching the show was completely ruined. But it's okay, this group of people has now entered a state of cold war, and there is nothing to see.
In this case, it's not impossible to make a little effort to promote the plot. With my own efforts, I can prevent Arataki from collapsing, so I can see what kind of monster this simple-minded ghost can conjure up in his heart.
"Don't argue. There is a certain possibility of tearing apart space explosively. But no one knows what kind of landing point will be behind the passage... Do you still remember where this is? This is layer rock. The great abyss is underground. From a probability perspective, the landing point of the space passage is very likely to be soil and rocks."
Zuo Xi forcefully intervened in the cold war between several people and directly gave a conclusion to their argument - it was feasible, but the success rate was not high. So Zuo Xi had no intention of using this method from the beginning.
"... That's why you don't want to use this method... If that's all, I think it's okay. Just open the passage and I'll explore the way. If there's no danger, you can come back. How about it?"
Mandrill was not stubborn. After understanding the reason why the other party was unwilling to take action, Mandrill quickly proposed a new plan. Previously, we had no choice but to resort to dangerous tactics, but now the plan is obviously more stable, and I think everyone should have no reason to reject it.
