"I'm sorry, Aerith." After hearing what Aerith said, Shen Ye's face turned red. He felt extremely embarrassed and guilty. He felt very ashamed for doubting Aerith.
But this is also normal. The scene that just happened is almost exactly the same as the scene when Cloud and Aerith met in the original plot. The only difference is that the person who fell down became him.
At this moment, he suddenly understood Aerith's last words. It seemed that his fate had really changed...
No!
Suddenly, Shen Ye had another idea. Maybe fate did not change, but was still following the original plot, except that he became the protagonist. After all, not only the two heroines in the story were his, but he also participated in most of the things that happened, leaving the original protagonist Cloud with nothing to do and becoming a passerby, so fate simply gave up and let him replace Cloud.
Thinking of this, Shen Ye frowned instead, because it seemed that he had changed his destiny, but in fact there had not been much change. What had happened in these days was almost the same as the original plot. The collapse of the No. 1 Mako Reactor and the failure of the No. 5 Mako Reactor combat plan had not changed at all. So perhaps for destiny now, as long as it still follows the script, it doesn't matter who the protagonist is.
So Aerith's words were favored by fate, and instead reminded him that if he didn't do something that could truly change the plot, fate would still go according to the original script.
"No wonder you left so abruptly." Thinking of Sephiroth's words when he left and Whispers's abrupt disappearance, Shen Ye understood a little.
While he was silent and deep in thought, Aerith did not disturb him, but lay quietly beside him. She enjoyed the time alone with Shen Ye, especially now that the two of them were lying together in the flower bed, surrounded by flowers, which made her feel extremely romantic.
"I really want to stay like this forever!" Aerith sighed.
Shen Ye woke up from his reverie and heard Aerith's words. He hugged her shoulders lovingly, and then said something that made her particularly dissatisfied: "There will be opportunities like this in the future, but let's leave it at that for now."
"Just lie down for a while!" Aerith refused and said coquettishly.
But Shen Ye was unmoved. He stood up forcefully, picked up Aerith, and said as he walked out, "Let's go to another place to lie down, and you can lie down as long as you want and however you want. But now, let's go back to your house and see Ms. Elmyra, and then we'll go to Block 7. Don't forget what will happen tonight."
tonight...
Aerith stopped struggling immediately after hearing this, and obediently let Shen Ye carry her home...
Elmyra just sprained her foot. Apart from the inconvenience in her movements, there was no other problem. After Shen Ye and Aerith came back, she even cooked a meal for them herself.
Although Shen Ye didn't have much of an appetite because he had been thinking about what to do at night to avoid the destruction of the Seventh Block, he was already hungry after a night of fierce fighting and not eating anything in the morning. After filling his stomach with a lot of food, he said goodbye to Elmyra with Aerith and headed to the Seventh Block to catch the bus.
However, due to what happened last night, the entire Midgar's traffic was controlled. Although vehicles were still allowed to pass, the efficiency was frighteningly low. When Shen Ye and Aerith arrived at the seventh block, it was almost evening.
…
In the conference room of Shinra Building, a group of Shinra executives are gathered together for a meeting.
President Shinra, who was sitting in the first seat, crossed his hands, supported his chin, and looked coldly at his subordinates who were talking loudly there.
What they talked about most was how to deal with the Avalanche and how to respond to the resurrected Sephiroth.
But in fact, this kind of meeting has been held several times, but before Sephiroth appeared, what they talked about most was how to deal with the Avalanche problem.
However, now that Sephiroth has appeared, some senior executives have different opinions.
"I think the issue of Sephiroth's reappearance is more important. Avalanche is just a small organization and can't amount to anything." A senior executive suggested.
"Then do you know where Sephiroth is? How did he appear? And you have seen the video. His terrifying strength is much more difficult to deal with than Avalanche. I think we should deal with Avalanche first. We should pick the weak ones." It was Heidegger who spoke. He said this after looking at the expression of Shinra President. As the confidant of Shinra President, he knew what the President was thinking.
Although Sephiroth is powerful and has aroused the interest of Shinra's president, he is not a threat to Shinra at the moment, because everyone in Shinra's top management saw it last night, that Sephiroth's target at the time was not Shinra, but someone in the Avalanche.
What's more important is that Sephiroth appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly. They were willing but unable to do anything about it. It would be better for them to deal with the Avalanche organization whose hiding place they had already figured out first.
As the most capable confidant of the Shinra president, the noise in the conference room became much quieter as soon as Heidegger opened his mouth, so Heidegger continued: "According to Tseng's investigation and the reports from the planted informants, most of the people in Avalanche are hiding in the Seventh Block..."
"The 7th Block is huge, and we haven't figured out their exact hiding place yet." Before Heidegger could finish, the director of Turks interrupted and said, "Please give us some more time. It won't be too late to take action after we have investigated thoroughly."
"Once you have investigated thoroughly, Avalanche will definitely cause greater damage. Who will be responsible then? You?" Heidegger looked at Tseng coldly. As the boss of the law and order maintenance department, every action of Avalanche is equivalent to a slap in the face. He hates Avalanche more than anyone else.
"So what do you think we should do?" Shinra's president suddenly asked. He really wanted to deal with Avalanche first, even though those people were just a bunch of flies in his eyes, what Avalanche was doing was shaking the foundation of Shinra, and as someone in a high position, he naturally knew what was important.
"It's very simple. No matter where they hide, we just send people to kill all the people in the seventh block, just like what we did in some areas of Wutai before." Heidegger smiled and made a throat-cutting gesture, but his smile was extremely cruel.
"Although there will definitely be some wrong kills and some fish that slip through the net, they will definitely lose most of their members." Heidegger added.
After hearing his words, the entire conference room fell silent instantly, even the sound of breathing disappeared. Except for the president of Shinra, most of the senior executives looked at Heidegger with horror.
This guy... is really bold!
