What Ye Jian said just now kept echoing in Liu Shiheng's mind.
Liu Shiheng wanted to get rid of that curiosity, because it might kill Alice, but the more this happened, the less he could control himself.
"What is Yanxi?"
Finally, Liu Shiheng couldn't hold back and chose to ask a peripheral question. Ne mentioned this issue to him herself, but it was not specific, so it should be fine.
Alice held the fork in her left hand and raised the steak to look at him.
"So you don't know, right? Ne didn't tell you this." Liu Shiheng continued.
Alice smiled and said, "Master, do you know about dinosaurs?"
Liu Shiheng said: "Nonsense, I told you before that I am from the second generation of rich people. I have electric dinosaur toys."
"It's amazing. It may have been 5 to 6 million years since the birth of human beings. During more than 5 million years, humans have evolved and grown into intelligent life, until they created the current blue world." Alice said: "The young master knows the research and judgment of the scientific community. Dinosaurs How long have you ruled this planet?"
Liu Shiheng only thought about this question for half a second, "Sorry, I'm uneducated."
His confident look made Alice smile.
"According to current scientists, it's about 160 million years." Alice said with a smile: "Why can't dinosaurs do what humans have done in millions of years? Why haven't dinosaurs evolved and grown in such a long time? For the sake of intelligent life, they even eventually went extinct. Have you ever thought about this issue, Master?"
"Why? Is it because they are too stupid?" Liu Shiheng asked.
He certainly hadn't thought about it, and wasn't prepared to do much thinking.
Alice smiled helplessly: "Because they were actually herded. Just like humans herd sheep and eat their meat. In the so-called era of dinosaur dominance, they were actually just food that was herded, and the one who herded them was Yanxi."
After going around in a circle, Alice finally answered Liu Shiheng's original question.
Then she went on to explain, saying:
"Master, you must have heard of the Big Bang theory, right? The original energy left over from the Big Bang is what we humans now call source energy. There was a period in history when source energy was relatively abundant, which I call the source energy era. All kinds of extraordinary creatures in the era of source energy are the flames. They travel through the stars, swallow up the source energy, and are extremely powerful...but eventually they gradually die out and disappear from our history."
Liu Shiheng suddenly felt that Alice's whole state was a little different when she said this, but it was only a fleeting thought, because this was not the first time this happened.
He didn't even notice Alice's statement, "I call it the Source Energy Era."
"All dead?" Liu Shiheng asked.
"Yes, here we are. As for other civilizations, the barrier of the sea of stars makes us and them walk on different timelines. Although the trend is definitely the same, Yanxi is gradually dying out, but this does not mean that Yanxi must have already spread across the world. The universe is extinct. When I say this, can the young master understand?"
"They're...well, it's too complicated and not interesting at all."
In fact, this was an absolute opportunity, and it was suitable to ask what Yan Xu would leave behind after his death, and where those things went, but Liu Shiheng gave up.
He didn't want to kill Alice. This is Master Shiheng's last self-esteem and principle as a dandy and a prodigal son who can surrender to the enemy at any time.
There was no meaningful conversation after the meal until both parties finished eating. Liu Shiheng calmly packed up his lunch box and left. He walked to the entrance of the passage and stopped.
"Alice," he said quietly and quickly, suddenly walking quickly back to the table.
"Huh?" Alice looked up at him, her deep blue eyes making people look deep.
"If the glacier finally fails to hold up, and the big fortress above crashes down, or we are suddenly discovered by Big Jian, or if the blue people come and kill them one day... Ne will definitely fight them, right? He will definitely not care about that. Fuck you."
"Well, what then?" Alice blinked.
"Once that happens, find a place to hide. Just around here, find a place to hide, wait for me, I will come and take you away... Trust me, I will definitely come."
After Liu Shiheng finished speaking, he turned around and went out, preparing to further build a good relationship with his brother Ye.
The air stirred behind him.
Alice stood up, turned her head and looked in the direction of the chapel with cold and piercing eyes.
The restlessness slowly subsided.
…………
"Are you going to protect me and take me away? When Ne is fighting... But, I am Ne, Master Shiheng. No, I am not."
Alice doesn't know whether she is Ne or not.
22 years ago.
Alice, who was five years old at the time, had already lived in the orphanage for a year.
Because of her beautiful blond hair and prettier eyes, many people offered to adopt her, but those applications were rejected without exception, until one night, a private plane took her away from the orphanage.
With fear, Alice came to a continent of ice and snow, entered under the glacier, and never left again.
From the age of five to ten, Alice was well taken care of in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Everything is fine, people are kind, life is not lacking, she is just a little lonely, because Alice does not receive more education except the most basic knowledge and methods.
Instead of going to school with the other children, she was thrown into a large library and told to read from the shelves.
Those books were obviously carefully selected. Someone is building her knowledge and awareness through specific books and reading order.
Little Alice was the only one in the whole library. She was scared, cried, knocked on the door hard and begged, fell asleep when she was tired, and then woke up on her own...
Finally, the lonely girl sat on the floor under the light and started reading.
Sometimes she would lie down and watch, raising her calves and letting her long blond hair fall until the arm supporting her chin felt sore.
In this way, from the first bookshelf to the second, the third ...
Occasionally, Alice would be a little curious when she saw the outside world in books, but that was all.
When she was eleven years old, Alice knew one thing: the place where she lived was actually a damaged supership that crashed hundreds of years ago. The giant ship came from another civilization in the vast universe.
When she was thirteen years old, Alice met the person who chose her for the first time. His name was Ne.
Then she started following him.
It was boring, except for reading and sorting, it was endless experimentation and almost never anything interesting happened. But Alice didn't mind, because she gradually knew who Ne was.
