"Does Mr. Luo know about Tian Jue?" Momolo asked.
Luo Binhan shook his head honestly.
"The end of the earth, the end of man, the end of heaven, and the end of Tao. These are the four conceptual disasters called the 'four end's."" Momolo said, "They also have another way of calling them. Famine, war, and plague. and death—because all they present are planet-based extinctions, some civilizations also call them the four disasters of the apocalypse.”
Luo Binhan felt that some words seemed familiar.
"The one named Earth Jue... Lian Shuxing seems to have encountered this thing, right?"
"Yes. Compared with human and natural disasters, as well as the extremely rare Dao phenomenon in civilized areas, the earth's destruction is the easiest to predict and deal with. However, disasters like this often affect primitive civilizations without space capabilities. , lacking the ability to save themselves, and unable to send a signal for help to the company alliance, so the Earth Jue has become the largest number of known victims among the Four Jue."
Momolo said with a bit of solemn sadness: "The alliance's current management of the lower star layers is still very rough, especially every time a moonfall event occurs, the primitive civilizations in the corresponding jurisdiction will always face a large number of casualties. If Mima was at that time If the Stone Heart Incubators in the world do not encounter the Moon Meteor, Master Sang Lian can directly send them a request for help, and the Lotus Tree Star will not suffer such heavy casualties."
Luo Binhan was really not used to his depressed mood, and Lian Shuxing and Sang Lian were not topics Luo Binhan was willing to discuss right now. So he waved his hand and said, "Don't go too far. The Four Jue and the Apocalypse have nothing to do with me anyway. I just want to know what disease that little girl Mi Gula has got? Cancer? A genetic disease? Or some alien virus?”
"Ms. Migula should be a harmless infected person of the Tianjue variant." Momolo said, "Does Mr. Luo still remember the blood protein controller on her neck?"
Luo Binhan began to recall their first encounter in Port Jimo. He recalled that Migula had indeed shown them a strange metal ring embedded in her neck.
"Are you talking about the iron ring around her neck?"
"Yes. That device can detect the protein mutation in her blood and restore it to the correct original structure. It is a very, very precise device. Once it malfunctions, Ms. Migula is in danger of death, so she must You cannot enter the law zone where the physical rules are unstable."
Luo Binhan nodded blankly. Despite what Momolo said, he still seemed to have no grasp of Migula's condition.
"...Is her illness serious? Listening to what you just said, why does it sound like you are going to destroy the world?"
Momolo shook his head desperately.
"No, it's completely different, Mr. Luo. Ms. Migula's disease should be some kind of natural mutation that loses infectivity, which is usually caused by genetics or organ transplantation. Although it is difficult to cure, as long as the mutated protein is treated With strict control, Ms. Mi Gula can still live a normal life. But if it is a real natural disaster, then the entire Lotus Tree Star will be destroyed by now."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Tian Jue is the only source of reason disaster among the Four Jue, Mr. Luo." Momoluo said solemnly, "It originated from the Continuous Star Boundary Infinite Region where your hometown belongs. It was originally just a researcher of Infinite Stars. Private illegal development projects spread on a large scale due to the protein whitelist being out of control, forming legends and turning into conceptual disasters. Even now, Tianjue can only carry out preventive management and isolation and aftermath. Carbon-based organisms infected with Tianjue cannot be cured by any medical means. Unfortunately, the best thing that can be done at present is to euthanize terminally ill patients to reduce the extreme severity they suffer in the final stages of protein mutation. Torture.”
When Momolo finished speaking, Luo Binhan felt a tingling pain in his heart for no reason. The sudden and severe heartache was like a sharp knife tearing through his chest, making him feel as if he were facing a cold abyss, and his lips and teeth were trembling.
Momolo looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Luo?"
Luo Binhan himself was also very shocked. He was in pain and confused. He could only reach out and touch the back of the chair to make sure there was no sharp needle hidden in the shuttle seat.
The only tentacles he had were the soft cloth backrest, and he couldn't touch any sharp objects.
Yaleriga quickly stood up from her seat. She held Luo Binhan's head and gently pressed somewhere on the back of his head, while carefully observing his expression and pupils.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
The area pressed by her fingertips radiated a hint of coolness, making the pain in Luo Binhan's chest quickly subside. He nodded quickly, and then touched his chest again.
"It's crazy." He said in confusion, "Did you just have a heart cramp?"
Yaleriga sat back down, crossed her legs, and looked out the window casually.
"It was just a nervous convulsion or premature heart beat." She said, "Maybe we have exercised too much these days, which has accumulated too much stress and fatigue on you. You need to do some more soothing activities."
This conclusion convinced Luo Binhan. In fact, he would rather not do any activities and just lie down in bed. However, when he made this request while holding his fragile sick body, Yaleriga still ruthlessly rejected him.
They returned to the hotel safely, but Luo Binhan did not go to bed immediately. He tried jumping around the room a few times and doing a few sit-ups, but there was nothing abnormal except for a slight muscle soreness in his legs. This should have been a good sign, but he felt intensely uneasy about it, as if the pain was a real gap in his heart, but at this moment he was rendered completely insensible due to the anesthetic.
In the end, he attributed this to the hallucination caused by excessive fatigue, and fell asleep with his head covered. But he couldn't find peace in his dream either. There were countless blood-red eyes staring at him in the darkness, and Momolo's severely deformed monotonous voice came from above his head, chanting the word "Tian Jue" over and over again.
He saw a girl with dark blue hair walking towards him. Her milk-white skin gradually became clear in the darkness, like a floating corpse sneaking out silently from the bottom of a dark lake.
Luo Binhan recognized her, but felt that she didn't look like her. He had never seen the other party with such a gloomy and strange expression. It was simply the look of a lonely soul wandering in the underworld.
The girl reached her hands to both sides of her neck and pulled down the high collar. A metal ring with cold light was embedded around her neck, as if the severed head and body were fused together with silver.
She looked at Luo Binhan without saying a word, and the weird expression on her face was gradually wiped away, leaving only the tranquility like ice and snow in winter. Then she took out a black umbrella from behind, held the umbrella on the ground like a sword, and moved her lips to explain something to Luo Binhan.
"It's the best way...Luo Binhan...I..."
Luo Binhan listened intently to the intermittent and unclear words, trying to figure out what the other party was saying. But there was always a whirring noise in the darkness, like a giant breathing noise, making it impossible for him to hear anything clearly. All he knew was that the other person's voice was getting deeper and gentler, and it no longer looked like a girl's thin voice. Suddenly, he realized that the voice and intonation were very much like Zhou Yu.
"Never...don't come back..."
Luo Binhan suddenly woke up and sat up from the bedside to breathe. He felt that his body was oppressed and breathless, as if his chest was filled with heavy stones.
This unpleasant feeling lasted for several minutes before the suffocating feeling that overwhelmed him subsided. He didn't bother to wash up or eat, and immediately jumped out of bed to find Yaleriga.
"We'll go find the blue-haired girl later." He said after knocking on Yaleriga's door. "I have to see her now to feel at ease."
