The last time Li Liang saw Andre was through the virtual image mapped on Onkyo's robotic arm. At that time, the president of the marginal business unit was in good spirits, which was very different from the current appearance of being slumped in a wheelchair.
This is Andre's true face. He is so old that current medical technology cannot extend his life. His hair has fallen out, his face and hands are covered with dark brown age spots, his lips are trembling unconsciously, but his eyes remain the same. Bright, revealing fanatical ambition.
What worries Li Liang even more is Robben.
Robben in "Romantic" is an optimist full of passion for life. He is the best mechanic under the protagonist Zhang Yang and Zhang's only friend after he retires. The actor vividly interprets Robben's informal character.
The Robben in front of him seems to be the complete opposite. He is calm and calm, showing the temperament of having been in a high position for many years.
Judging from the arrangement of the heroic spirits, Robben is undoubtedly a loyal dog of Dros, and most of the Galaxy's crew, officers, and the deep space defense line and interstellar expeditionary force loyal to Dros have not been swallowed by the heroic spirits. In this case, Robben is willing to Reconciliation with Andre was unusual.
Li Liang originally thought that the marginal business fleet brought by Andre would raid the Galaxy, and with the cooperation between the inside and outside of Jinji, there was a high chance of successfully penetrating the defense line and arriving at Zhuos headquarters. Unexpectedly, the situation went awry, but in the end they ended up with the same destination. .
this moment.
The three of them had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was solemn.
Yuan Quan adjusted his glasses as thick as the bottom of a bottle and whispered: "Uncle Robben..."
"Have the heroic spirit failed?" Robben's Xiacheng District words were eloquent. When he spoke, his eyes flicked to Li Liang's face and then left, and finally stopped on Andre's face.
Li Liang was vaguely aware of Robben's inner struggle. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, the commander-in-chief still found it difficult to accept that his "Twin Gods" left the temple and suddenly appeared on the moon.
Andre smiled weakly: "Roben, what are you still running from? Gods walk in the world, and heroic spirits are destined to fail."
"I need a definite answer."
"You have been deceived," Li Liang said slowly. "The 'New World' contains the power of Elune, the god believed by fairies. Once someone completes the fusion, he will become a puppet of the fairies."
Hearing these words, Andre was stunned for a moment, then coughed violently, wheezing like a broken bellows.
However, a look of "Sure enough" flashed across Robben's face.
Li Liang caught the fleeting emotion and felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He asked directly: "How far has the goblin advanced now?"
Robben didn't answer, looked down and said: "Can I talk to you alone?"
"Okay," Li Liang nodded.
Robben walked straight to the main entrance of the church.
Li Liang met Andre's eyes, nodded slightly, turned around and followed.
Yuan Quan had already noticed something was wrong from the conversation. He looked at the backs of the two people and said in confusion, "Who is he?"
"Don't you know?" Andre leaned on the wheelchair, looking up at the statues of the Twin Gods like Optimus Pillars.
Yuan Quan followed the old man's gaze and saw that among the two gods back to back, the one with a sword hanging on his waist and his palm stretched out looked exactly like Li Liang.
——————————
When he walked into the church, Li Liang smelled the smell of incense in the air, which was so strong that it made it difficult to breathe.
The main hall with a dome tens of meters high has no lighting equipment. Sunlight shines in from the stained glass windows on both sides, dyeing the rows of seats in hazy colors.
Li Liang followed Luo Ben and walked along the wide aisle in the middle to the deepest altar.
The golden altar has a hollow cylindrical shape and is divided into four floors. Each floor has complex patterns and three-dimensional carvings. The bottom layer is composed of a group of people with intertwined bodies, with different appearances and sizes, stretching their arms upward with all their strength, showing an expression of desire.
More than a dozen figures appearing on the second floor are wearing simple robes, standing facing different directions, spreading their hands, as if praising the light from above. They are surrounded by complex buildings, plants, animals, spaceships and stars.
The third layer is composed of twelve figures. They raise their heads and raise their hands, holding a triple crown together. Different objects are carved around each person, symbolizing the power they represent, and there are also different expressions. Angels surrounded their feet, offering the keys to power.
On the top floor are two seats side by side, with the twin gods sitting on them. The god on the left is bowing his head in meditation, and the god on the right stretches out his palm, as if he is preaching.
Li Liang stared at the statue on the left, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar. That was the look his brother often showed. Li Shuang always lives in his own world, and he is always a layman.
"My reverence for the Twin Gods is no less than those who pray here all year round," Robben sat down on the first row of seats and looked at the resonator in front of him, "but my piety is very low."
Li Liang sat down on the seat on the other side of the aisle, unbuttoned the spacesuit controls on his chest and threw them on the table.
Robben turned around and said, "Because I have always felt that the Twin Gods are human beings."
Li Liang thought for a while and put his hand on the resonator in front of him. After a moment, a number appeared above the resonator: 0.
Seeing this scene, Robben sat up straight in an instant, and then slowly collapsed: "I have thought countless times that if I can see you in person one day, I must ask all the questions in my heart. Now that I have reached this point, Sometimes, I feel...those problems don't seem to be that important."
Li Liang glanced at Robben, knowing very well that most people in this era have too many questions to ask the Twin Gods. The same was true for him when he woke up in the Mesai Bionic Pet Hospital. Unfortunately, he has no way to answer them yet. Answer.
He shook his head and changed the subject: "The heroic spirit trusts you very much."
"Every veteran of the Deep Space Defense and Interstellar Expeditionary Force has the same belief, to open up the territory of mankind and defend the glory of mankind," Robben said in a low voice, "On this point, the heroic spirits, I, Andre were originally the same, The reason why Andre betrayed the Heroic Spirit was just because of differences in understanding of the 'New World', and it turned out... that we were both wrong."
Robben stood up and raised his voice: "The Galaxy has just received Xi'an's ultimatum, requiring the deep space defense and interstellar expeditionary forces to immediately give up resistance and reorganize on standby. At the same time, he sent me a secret message that Xi'an has reached an agreement with the goblins. Agreement to jointly develop a 'new world'."
"What?" Li Liang glared and lost his voice.
"Only now do I understand why Xi'an has never attacked us. Probably as soon as he learned about the existence of the 'New World', Xi'an directly negotiated with the goblins and made it clear that the 'new world' was just a bait, and the goblins were really What we want is to build a 'New World' production base in the human universe."
Li Liang took a deep breath.
What kind of joint development, this is totally surrendered without a fight.
"The heroic spirits also had similar thoughts," Robben said in a bitter tone. "The negotiation team sent to the spiritual world was led by the eldest daughter of Zhuos. It carried 5 spiritual cores and the seven princesses and went to the city where the goblins were. The heroic spirits Hopefully the goblins can show us the results of the 'New World'."
It turns out that this is the true purpose of the team of the eldest princess and Li Xiaozi.
Combined with what the heroic spirit said when his consciousness was confused, "Children Li has a pure soul like Cain, and a pure soul is the best container." Li Liang realized that the heroic spirit was not unaware of the goblin's conspiracy, and was also aware of the goblin's conspiracy. The Elune divine power contained in the New World was wary, but faced with the pressing pressure of the Marginal Business Department and the sudden intervention of the "Twin Gods", the desire to become a god overwhelmed reason.
Perhaps it was the goblin's deliberate connivance that allowed two weak women, Li Xiaozi and the eldest princess, to successfully escape from the main city of the goblin. No wonder the goblin only hired three ridiculously powerful bounty hunters when chasing the two sisters.
At the same time, Goblin secretly communicated with the Marginal Business Department, causing the Marginal Business Department to implement the "Yuanzhen Plan."
It can be seen that from beginning to end, goblins have never wanted to truly cooperate with humans.
Now, Xi'an has also chosen to seek skin from a tiger. The only difference is that Xi'an is strong enough, and the goblin will at least pretend to be so.
Li Liang's face was gloomy: "Any other news?"
"Xian requires us to respond within 24 hours and proactively transfer the fleet system authority. If we refuse, Xi'an will immediately destroy the entire fleet."
"What about the conditions?"
"Every soldier and family member of the Deep Space Defense and Interstellar Expeditionary Force will receive amnesty. Then, the Deep Space Defense Corps will establish a new line of defense in Earth's low-Earth orbit, and the Interstellar Expeditionary Force will fully expand its military and establish a new headquarters base on Earth."
Li Liang frowned: "On Earth? Why not at the anchor point?"
"Because Zhongjing, Mexico City, and Rocky Mountain City are classified as goblin concessions, our spiritual door is unconditionally open to goblins," Robben sighed. "Humans have no right to garrison at the anchor point."
