"Until your body is fully healed—"
Jiang Xueming climbed down from the frame and yelled loudly.
"——I will give you time to think carefully and recall what happened to the carnivorous Canaan that appeared in this sea area. If these things are also counted as your tribe, then more than 70 lives on the Ishikawa, It can be used as an excuse for war, and you are going to war with Aohun Mingde."
Beyond the fossil forest, only about 700 meters away is the foundation of the new station. Further away, layers of low-slope hills make the terrain rise all the way up, and the zigzag rails spread to higher places. This is Our Lady of Canaan. The tunnel was excavated more than a hundred years ago at a huge cost.
"You must think clearly." Xueming found a nearby stone cove and sat down. The floor of the drainage channel was covered with damp dew. He didn't mind being dirty, and stared closely at the gradually healing body of the Virgin of Canaan.
The blue blood on the road is like a worm, rolling up some soil and gravel, rolling through the gaps in the cement, and slowly flowing towards the main body.
"In less than a few years, you will be able to get a full-time job. Let me tell you something."
Xueming took out his cigarette case, put a Marlboro in his mouth, and chatted with the neighbor's sister about stock prices and funds, with a very easy-going attitude.
"This platform is in Edinburgh. If it can be completed successfully, it will be much more convenient for passengers to go to the Skydome Station. How far is London from Edinburgh?"
He was gesturing and drawing a non-existent "circle", trying to clearly draw the structure of the earth.
"Do you know what this means? In the past, we had to bypass the molten layer of the wise giant Mimir, bypass the big gold mine, and travel around the intricate and complex railway network. The road from the Nine Realms to the Sky is very long. Might as well take a plane to London.”
“This site is important, Our Lady of Canaan, this site is very, very important.”
Xueming was exhaling smoke while discussing with Canaan.
"Based on my personal experience, what I saw in the Hedland Hotel - I don't know if the scientific researchers have conducted a detailed investigation on the "Starry Night" painting, but I think they must have done so. As for what to do with the painting in the future, I didn’t ask much.”
"But this matter is right in front of us. As early as the time when Van Gogh went to treat mental illness, you actually already knew——"
"——You know, you know this, you have already understood it in your heart."
Xueming's tone became serious and she flicked the ashes harder.
"Some of your tribe have turned into monsters."
Mrs. Canaan finally returned to her human form. After being subjected to the Dump Truck Iaijutsu, she turned into three pieces of meat of different sizes. As soon as she regained some strength, she immediately got up. She couldn't help but wave the tentacles in her clothes, thinking Try to see if your limbs are functioning properly.
She was speechless, and Jiang Xueming didn't know what the woman was thinking, so she continued talking.
"So what have the linguists and translators at the scientific research station talked about with you in the past few years? I'm very curious, I'm really curious." Xueming started to get angry. He just felt a little ridiculous, "So The important thing is that right in your territory, there is a species with a very high lethality rate for humans. They are your tribe and they live in this ocean. Don’t you know anything about it?”
"Did you forget to tell the people at the scientific research station about this? Or did you not want to tell it at all? Did you hide it on purpose?"
"It's not just a day or two. Our Lady of Canaan, from the moment when "Starry Moon Night" was completed, more than a hundred years have passed until today."
"There is no record of your group of carnivorous tribesmen in any myths, history, legends or modern biological discoveries. They are well hidden. Perhaps there are some solitary weirdos in the mortal world above us. They are afraid of sunlight and electricity and live in the world. In the wilderness, they only go out once every few years. They may have been controlled by your carnivorous tribesmen and have turned into walking zombies."
"You can't speak now, so I will tell you about the situation at this station unilaterally, and I want you to think about it carefully."
"If you can speak later, don't pretend to be pitiful and innocent with me. This is just a matter of deeds."
"There were more than seventy crew members on board the Ishikawa, and now there are only two conscious survivors left."
"The Fujima, as a search and rescue team, also joined a group of elite rescuers. At least one unlucky man lost an arm underwater - this is just something I witnessed with my own eyes."
"If the people on the Ishikawa cannot escape the control of the Canaanite creatures, they will be dead and never survive again."
Jiang Xueming put out the cigarette butt and crushed it with his foot: "With so many lives, the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult's approach is to skip the trial process and kill them on the spot without mercy."
Our Lady of Canaan said nothing. Her skirt was torn, revealing dozens of flexible tentacles. She slowly crawled back into the mansion, changed into decent clothes, took out a magnetic writing board from her workshop, and asked Talk to Jiang Xueming about this.
"About these disobedient clans." Mrs. Canaan rolled up a magnet, hugged the chair with its thick tentacles, came to sit in front of Xueming, and kept writing new Chinese characters, "I don't understand their living conditions."
Jiang Xueming mocked angrily: "Okay! Very good, you live here - you watch the sea every day. More than a thousand meters away from the beach, these monsters are eating people, but you say you don't know! They shout Your mother!"
"Don't worry, I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry." Our Lady of Canaan pulled the shaft and quickly wrote new words, "Anonymous hero, before the desire to kill in your heart goes to your head, I want to talk to you. Talk about the clans.”
The writing board is full of pictures and texts, and two different [individuals], the golden egg and the Virgin of Canaan, are drawn.
"As early as nine years ago, when the station was conducting large-scale exploration and development of Fangfeng settlement, I told many humans about this - there are some deadly and dangerous creatures in this ocean, and they are indeed my people. , also calls me mother.”
"But I know very little about their life forms. When we leave the sailboat, we have to find ways to deal with the earth's geomagnetism and strong sunlight. As long as we change from [collective] to [individual], unless we have close spiritual communication again Exchange of essences, otherwise I would not be able to perceive their existence, let alone their thoughts.”
"In your eyes, Fangfeng Settlement is a geomantic treasure land. We are alien species and invaders. If we don't show aggression, we have to make way for humans. If we show aggression, we have to annihilate our species - I know that very well, so I understand where your anger is coming from.”
Our Lady of Canaan painted a lifelike snow-white figure with explosive hair, a dump truck speeding past dragging out its afterimage, and an octopus monster flying high to represent herself.
"Including the fact that you drove your car and knocked me eighteen meters away, and then I fell to the ground and broke into three pieces. Perhaps in the human world, there is another epic story - a righteous warrior driving a steel behemoth, crushing Crushed the evil sea monster.”
"But have you ever thought that for these extremely aggressive clans, the world of Homo sapiens is terrifying enough, which forces them to evolve in the direction of 'demons'."
As she wrote these words, the limbs of Our Lady of Canaan were visibly trembling, and she could feel the cold murderous aura on Jiang Xueming's body.
"I will no longer speak for these clans, but I will just quibble for myself - suppose there are a hundred, a thousand, or a million earthlings who come to a completely unfamiliar alien planet. The environment here is very different to the earthlings. If they are not suitable for survival, they must follow the local customs and change themselves, and adopt the habits of native creatures.”
"These people on earth will become fragile and irritable, and the pressure and fear of survival will make them full of aggression. A group of people will become demons. When you learn about this, you want to ask me, the forerunner, about the guilt of me. Is this wrong? Fair.”
Jiang Xueming said immediately without thinking: "Don't rush to complain, I know what you mean. Now the situation between us has become very delicate and dangerous - Our Lady of Canaan, back to the previous topic, since you said it, why don't you explain these things We have told the people at the scientific research station everything, so why do they continue to go to deepwater areas for exploration operations?”
"Because human beings are such arrogant creatures." Our Lady of Canaan slowly wrote one stroke at a time: "In the secular world, there are many common examples of people who, knowing that their lives are in danger, still go climbing or flying. Experiment, we need to make a liquid bomb."
"No matter how many times your researchers ask, how many times I repeat the same answer."
"I said this, then I said that the ocean is very dangerous. You should be able to feel the strong spiritual pressure, right? It's like a breathing mountain, a man-eating dragon - no matter how threatening or intimidating it is, it will The nuclear submarine cannot stop the exploration team.”
"You believe in diving equipment, you believe in industrial products, and you believe that man can conquer nature."
"How many people are participating in the exploration plan of Fangfeng Settlement? How many people are looking forward to it? It is almost the food and clothing of millions of humans, whether underground or above ground, new living areas, new Transportation stops, new jobs, wealth and honor, first-class achievements in science and engineering—these things are too important to you."
"As for me, an outsider, it seems ridiculous to say a few words about "life danger". You have always believed that you can overcome difficulties and complete the task, and you have risked death to write a suicide note and carry out exploration work without hesitation. Members, these people value honor more than their lives."
"I am guilty of this fault." Our Lady of Canaan was suddenly stunned for a moment. She was organizing the language. She had learned Chinese from many humans and was still a little unfamiliar. "Because I don't have the ability to defeat your arrogance - I can't. .”
"You told me that one's deeds have no regard for one's heart, so if you can fish out the Ishikawa, maybe I can transform these Homo sapiens who have been transformed into Canaanite parasites back to their original state - they will become very weak and seriously ill. The kind of disease that has not been cured by all the panaceas for several years is caused by a weak constitution, mental confusion, and neuralgia that will accompany it for life.”
Jiang Xueming heard the implication: "Have you ever done this kind of surgery before?"
There is an extra picture on the writing board——
——It is a bright sunflower.
So wrote Lady Canaan.
"Otherwise, how did "Starry Night" come about? Before Vincent Van Gogh suffered from mental illness, he was just a frustrated painter. He had to use his life to paint the canvas with bright and twisted colors in order to gain recognition from the society of Homo sapiens. Appreciation - this itself is like a sacrificial ceremony. As his good friend, I really can't understand this art. Why do people wait until beautiful things die before people start to feel sorry for them?"
"My husband and I separated the Canaanite life in his body, but he felt it was not enough and wanted to turn these elements into paintings. Everyone knows what happened next - he passed away."
"Tsk" Jiang Xueming didn't know what to say. This was indeed in line with the crazy atmosphere before the new website was completed.
Nine years ago, it was an era of struggling for stock, an era of rampant crazy butterflies, and a world where people cannibalized people. It was hard to find jobs at the station, and it was even harder to find talents. After leaving the Path of Glory, various schools of thought are scrambling to recruit people, but most of the industries that can really make money are related to Crazy Butterfly's human flesh business.
A new big station leading to the mortal world - just a set of PPT, a concept, and a passionate road show, they can make people full of hope and courage, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to enter the unknown land. Civil construction city.
The greatness of man lies in his courage, and his stupidity also lies in his courage.
"This is a complicated puzzle." Seeing Xueming, Our Lady of Canaan stopped talking, and the rustling sound of writing continued: "It's not something you have to consider, Anonymous - you are arrogant and virtuous. Weapons, if you can’t solve this puzzle, why not throw it to your leader.”
"You'd better tell the truth." Jiang Xueming raised his head, leaned on his knees, and pointed at Canaan's face - pointing at the thick skin without facial features, "I will notify the engineering station and BOSS and tell them the truth about the situation. .One more thing”
"Is it [the afterlife]?" Our Lady of Canaan didn't wait for Jiang Xueming to finish speaking, and drew a strange octopus altar in advance: "If you want to talk about this [the afterlife] church, I want to sever ties with them, la Keep your distance—just like you said.”
Tentacles waved, pointing towards the new station facilities.
"This place will become more and more prosperous. I will not destroy myself and follow in the footsteps of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult."
"People need idols, need religion, and need gods - but putting the body on a shrine is meaningless to me. In the worldview of Homo sapiens, gods are generally dead, and I don't want to die."
"That's not the case, although your thoughts are similar to mine." Jiang Xueming shook his head and nodded: "But your own statement is different."
Our Lady of Canaan: “Do you have anything else you want me to do?”
Jiang Xueming took out two suitcases——
"——The BOSS wants to negotiate business and favors with you. I will give you a chance to make a relationship."
He tore off the yellow talisman sheepskin at the corners of the box, revealing the silver box buckle. Before he could open it, the Canaanite Virgin seemed to have seen a ghost, the tentacles all over her body trembled, and for a while she condensed into a human form. Will turn into a fried starfish again. I can't even hold the writing board steady.
Jiang Xueming went on to explain.
"There are two bones of the BOSS here. The people in the secret library cannot make them harmless in a short time, nor can they use this powerful psychic catalyst. If you use it rashly -"
Speaking of this, Xueming stuck out his tongue and made a face.
"——I may become a ghost, and then my wife and children will have to eat."
"It's hard to say what kind of ghost it is. The worst-case scenario is that it becomes a repeater."
"According to my temper, I will either find the remnants of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult to increase my KDA and become a monster-killing machine."
"Either you squat by the small fish pond and keep fishing until the pond dries up and you won't be able to move your legs for hundreds of years."
"Maybe you will still see me in the workshop holding a vise and drooling every day, dismantling and reassembling the dump truck repeatedly."
"Who knows? The worst case scenario is that Ao Ming De Le blossoms. I can still retain some consciousness, but I also say goodbye to the life of Homo sapiens. I will always be with the BOSS."
"The boss said that you can handle these two bones - so I thought, Aohen Mingde must have prepared a reward for asking you to do something."
Jiang Xueming glanced towards the new station, and the meaning was self-evident.
After two minutes, the Holy Mother of Canaan finally transformed back into her human form under the stimulation of Ao Hong Mingde's spiritual pressure. The tentacles swept away the two suitcases. The extraterrestrial visitor didn't write any other unnecessary words, but just took on the job silently.
As she walked towards the mansion, taking the box back to her observatory, she left a line of words on the beach.
"Come back in a hundred days."
Xueming did not leave immediately because Our Lady of Canaan put away her things and came back.
She waved to Jiang Xueming, as if she had something important to talk about in a hurry. It's like feeling uneasy when you forget your keys when you go out.
Xueming didn't understand: "Is there anything else?"
Our Lady of Canaan wrote next to the platform of the aqueduct: "When you first came, you still wanted to ask me to do something, right?"
Xueming: "Ah."
Our Lady of Canaan: "That's easy. Let's talk about old times first. Come, come, come, come, come, stand here."
Xueming stood on the road.
Our Lady of Canaan is about to climb onto the dump truck——
——Xue Ming immediately shouted stop.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, sorry, young man is impulsive. It's not that I don't want you to stay like this, I feel sorry for my car."
