During the night's rest, Lu Ning learned from Ke Daolin what happened later in Shenyuan City.
First, there is a group of believers who attack in all directions under the leadership of a special leader. They seem to be completely unconcerned by the shock of the previous world. Although they do not have the means to kill people in the harbor, they have a weird incapacitation and assimilation ability, which comes from a group of The surprise attack of the men in black robes. Not only the believers of the truth, anyone who is besieged by the black robe will soon become a new black robe, abandon their previous power, and become a member of the black robe.
But the strength of the men in black robes themselves is not very high - in one-on-one situations, ordinary people can even fight, they are like a group of zombies. The remaining people in Shen Yuancheng soon discovered something was wrong with this group of people and hid one after another.
And after the dust of the world made that kind of movement, he didn't know where he went. The entire people of Shenyuan City could only hide everywhere under the hunting of that group of people. It was not until the sudden appearance of the ascetics that they curbed these people's increasingly arrogant actions.
The number of the ascetics came was two, but these two alone made the black-robed man retreat. The ascetic monks did not care about those who were assimilated. They went straight through Shenyuan City with an unknown destination. The ascetic's method was also difficult to discern intuitively. Ke Daolin only saw certain changes in the ground and buildings where they passed, as if they had returned to the time when the streets were prosperous.
Then, almost as a matter of course, the ascetic eventually encountered the earthly dust.
The two sides exchanged blows within a minute of their encounter, and the devastation on the harbor was felt throughout the city. The people of Earthly Era would attack in a large area at will, but the people of Ascetic Monk, although they could not see any sound, were able to cope with such attacks with ease. But three minutes later, the urban area where the fiercest confrontation had occurred had been twisted into a ball of geometric blocks splashed with various colors. Something that had been transformed into an unknown substance pierced out of the urban area, turning it into a mass of hedgehogs. appearance. Then it was impossible to see clearly any fighting situation inside from the outside.
It was obvious that the two sides had different ideas. People who were still in Shen Yuan City at that time all carefully hid and waited for the battle to end. However, both sides controlled their own power and did not let the attack spread to the designated range. Go outside.
As for how the fight ended...no one saw it.
Ke Daolin's description was not that detailed. Lu Ning could tell that she was also hiding part of it. Maybe it had nothing to do with the main intelligence, maybe it was something else, but she didn't blame the other party. After all, she was not with Yin Xiu. Have you contacted me secretly?
"Thanks."
After Lu Ning thanked her, she left the set and went to find a place to eat. Ke Daolin understood what she meant and sighed slightly. Maybe there had been a rift in the cooperation a long time ago, right? But in this scenario, everyone must leave some possible escape routes for themselves.
Lu Ning felt a little irritable. She walked into a teahouse and planned to have something light. However, before she entered, she saw Tan Ya squatting there at the door.
"...What are you doing here?"
"Shh." Tan Ya winked at Lu Ning, "Don't be so loud, there are important people inside."
"Big shot?" Lu Ning was a little surprised.
"That earthly creature, can you believe it? Those people actually came over to drink tea! I can't believe it! If it weren't for the fact that the clothes on their bodies still retain that characteristic!"
Lu Ning twitched the corner of her mouth, turned around and left.
"Hey, don't leave. Don't you want to chat or something?" Qin Ya hurriedly grabbed her.
"Are you crazy? You still want to communicate with that kind of person?"
"Communication is a characteristic of human beings. You see, the fact that Worldly Earth is willing to integrate into this base and drink tea here shows that it is not willing to cause more trouble here. Isn't it the best evidence that there is no fight now?"
"What a mess..."
"Don't worry, I can guarantee that as long as our attitude is correct, there will never be a fight!"
"Then you have to be able to fight——"
Before Lu Ning could finish her words, she was pulled to the door by Qin Ya.
The teahouse is divided into two floors. The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the private room. A few people were specially invited to play music here, which is very elegant. But there are not many customers now. After all, teahouse style can be experienced in many tourist attractions, and most people nowadays are not interested. After Qin Ya entered the store, she immediately told the boss that she was here to see a friend, and then tiptoed upstairs.
"If it is really the earthly earth, it is impossible not to know that we are coming." Lu Ning looked at her actions with amusement.
"Haha, that's right."
Qin Ya also felt that she was a bit silly like this, so she straightened her back after scratching her head. There were not many people in the private room upstairs. The only one with the door closed was naturally where those earthly souls were. Lu Ning was still thinking about how to get in, when Qin Ya reached out and pushed the door open.
How did she survive to the fourth level... was it purely based on her ability to read people? However, Qin Ya did see correctly. The door was pushed open, and no attack was leaked from inside.
"You three, let's come to visit!"
The door was pushed open, and Lu Ning saw the three people inside. Different from the very eye-catching clothes they wore in Shenyuan City, the three of them were now just wearing silver and gray textile coats. Although they were still eye-catching, they could be considered normal people. Wearing clothes. The masks have also been removed, and the faces of the three people are almost all flawless, so beautiful that they no longer look like real people, and it is impossible to identify age, gender and other characteristics from their facial features.
"It's someone who came uninvited." The voice of the person who spoke was very pleasant, and you knew it was Alexandra. She had black shoulder-length curly hair, and eyes as green as emeralds. Lu Ning didn't know if this was Alexandra's true appearance, but that wasn't the key. She couldn't hear any other emotions in the other person's tone, just as happy as the other person had always been.
"Don't be so outspoken. You are here for tourism anyway. It would be interesting for tourists to share their experiences." Tan Ya was quite familiar with it.
"Oh~Nadu, what do you think?" Alexandra asked softly.
"It's okay to listen, and your words should be meaningful." Nadu rested his chin on his hands, not looking at the table.
"Let's talk about it and see if there's anything we can do to help? You must have encountered some troubles in Shenyuan City. At least you can't accomplish your goals smoothly at the moment, right? In that case, let's talk about it. There’s always something good!”
"I don't think you can help us much," Alessandra said with a chuckle.
Qin Ya smiled confidently: "Aren't you two going to take a closer look at the ascetic's information? We have channels for inquiry here."
"We don't need information channels." Alessandra said with some regret.
"Is it really not necessary?" Qin Ya shrugged, "You may not know what we know."
"Dark gold."
Another voice broke into the conversation, that of Troy, the last of the three. Those bright golden pupils were already staring at Qin Ya and Lu Ning. There was no emotion, but there was a strong pressure.
"What's wrong? Troy?"
"The color, the flowers blooming in the tomb, is dark gold." Troy shook his head slightly and said slowly, "The desire flowing in the blood is black, the color of the soul is sky blue, those fragments under the clock , soaked in white cold light, the person inside the spherical mirror has a rose-red color."
"So that's it..." Alexandra suddenly realized, and Lu Ning now really wanted to know what she understood.
"Since Troy said so, then we will accept what you said, eh? Help." Alexandra smiled and said, "Then what? You don't just want to help us, right? Use your actions to say ...If there is no benefit, you will not take the initiative to look for us?"
"Of course, of course, we want to help you. Of course we want to know what your purpose is? Why don't you deal with the ascetics?"
"This...it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Alexandra tapped the tabletop lightly, and something suddenly rose up on the wooden table, shaping in mid-air and turning into two spheres. look.
"The civilization you live in was captured by a fragment composed of sea and harbor, just like stars and stars attracting each other. Now, everything in the two worlds is actually connected together, which sounds very strange. It’s fair, because after only a few hundred years of growth, the two became an inseparable community.”
As Alexandra narrated, vines sprouted from the two spheres, entangled with each other and hooked in the air.
"But... the two worlds are two worlds after all. Coupled with the existence of the special mechanism of Shanghai Port, these two worlds have not been integrated into one, but are now in a state of opposition. I guess... you also know?"
Qin Ya and Lu Ning nodded.
"For us, this is very unhealthy, just like a normal fetus growing into a conjoined twin for some reason. But we can restore everything and completely integrate the two worlds. In this way Come, everyone in this world can touch the transcendent, and the dead souls in the sea can also choose the descendants of their own civilization. This is the future that this place should be heading towards."
"But...don't you know now whether that future can be achieved?" Lu Ning asked doubtfully.
"We can see that result, but it is one of countless results. If no one blocks it, we can naturally reach that result easily. But now..." Alexandra paused here intentionally.
Dervish, and Aurora.
"There is no doubt that the spectators and the experts have completely different opinions from us." Alexandra continued, "To them, we are pitiful deformed beings in need of treatment in this world. But the sea and ocean are like parasitic malignant tumors, sucking the life of this world. They are not prepared to destroy, but they are prepared to completely separate the two and let them go their own paths."
"Do you think what they did is right?" Qin Ya asked curiously.
"Nature is irregular." Alexandra said, "Even if the sea and the harbor are separated, we will still continue to look for the next civilization, but the observers and masters will not keep tracking. The civilization here and the The combination of them can be regarded as an appropriate solution.”
"So... I want to ask, what will happen to this world after the union?" Lu Ning asked.
"People can listen to the sound of the sea at close range, and they no longer need dreams to connect the spirits of both parties. When the world becomes one, more people will be able to successfully sense the mantra, and they will awaken. The special power will change this world. World, that’s for sure.”
What happens after the change? Lu Ning actually knew very well - special power would lead to a major reshuffle of order, just like the previous scene. The country can cope with disasters that break out at one point, but internal disasters that bloom at multiple points are unpreventable, and the same is true for the mantra.
Perhaps a new civilization will emerge from such ruins in the future, but that is inconsistent with the present, and it is probably not the future that most people hope for.
"It rises and falls together, blooming in the morning and dying in the evening, like a flower with a certain period of time, like a dim moon." Nadu hummed in a low voice.
Yes, from the perspective of the world, what does the rise and fall of a civilization look like? Compared with restoring the world to its "original" order, it is just a detail. There will always be new civilizations emerging anyway.
But that was not the ending that Lu Ning liked. At least after she experienced it once, she didn't want to see it again.
"So...what's the mistake of the ascetic?" Lu Ning asked.
"First of all, the closely connected world cannot be cut off so easily. We can guarantee the perfect integration of the worlds, but we cannot guarantee the perfect separation. Since the world of the sea is originally broken and dead, any problems will be borne by this world. We are not world destroyers, and this goes against the order.”
"Order? Can I ask what the order is that everyone follows?"
"The basic laws of how the world operates, and their original appearance, is order."
"So you think that the ascetics will violate the order, so you fight with them? In this case... I can understand it." Lu Ning nodded, "Then what is the power used by the ascetics? To be able to fight against the three of them, At least they should be at the same level, right?"
Alexandra set her sights on Troy this time.
"...Qi Shu." Troy said leisurely, "The black Qi Shu is born from the tempering of red. However, if the color wants to break away from the picture, it will inevitably damage itself. Their bodies have shown a dead blue gray. I don't like it, but we There is no way to interfere with colors that are already outside the picture.”
After Troy finished explaining, Alexandra turned her attention to the two of them again.
"Whatever choice you make will not hinder us. But now, you can think about it carefully, and then choose... To be fair, our ideas can solve the problem of the world being gradually pulled into the sea, and embarking on the same end as other civilizations. The ending is the same for you."
One is inevitable destruction, followed by rebirth; the other is possible peace, accompanied by possible destruction.
It's really... a tricky decision.
Lu Ning felt that she should ask Qisha what she wanted to do.
