"Wow——"
A warm breeze blew.
The lines of the avenue extend, blending smoothly at the skyline, so open that it makes one's heart palpitate, like a sea of pure white and bloody sun. In this holy city, everything is blessed by the sun during the day.
Su Mingan stepped in, and the heel of his shoe hit the ground, making a crisp sound like jade colliding.
"Boom."
The robot guided him. He passed by beds of flowers and fountains sparkling with rainbow light.
At the end of the avenue, where the brilliance gathers, is a huge transparent building like a glass pillar. It stands upright in the sky like a tall tower, with a layer of gleaming luster all over its body. A young man with white hair stood quietly in front of the building, with the bright red hose behind him trailing to the ground and firmly connected to the building.
"You're finally here, Luvis." Lin Guang showed a rare smile. He still wore a Western aristocratic costume, his style was close to that of Noel, and he even wore an exaggerated rose top hat.
There were many players who had defected to the City of God camp standing beside him. At this time, the players were standing at the door like a line of welcoming ladies. Seeing Su Mingan, the players' eyes showed awe, enthusiasm and jealousy.
Under Lin Guang, they worked hard to gain camp contribution points, but Su Ming'an came like a guest. Lin Guang also ordered them to welcome Su Ming'an like maids. Why are the differences between people so big?
"Linguang, can you take me around the City of Gods?" Su Mingan said.
"Of course!" Lin Guang immediately walked down the steps. With a "click", the hose behind him fell off naturally.
He was so happy that his legs were shaking when he walked.
"Let's go." Lin Guang said with a smile.
Su Mingan's eyes wandered behind Lin Guang. Without these hoses, Lin Guang's combat effectiveness should have declined. But he still didn't take action. This is the City of God after all.
There is no human habitation in the City of God, and even the buildings are square and spotless, like glass cabinets that have been wiped clean.
This is a Noah's Ark that brings together the most cutting-edge weapons, and the fire of human civilization is preserved in it.
Lin Guang took him to see the largest garden in the City of Gods, where flowers of all seasons bloomed, and even all the flowers were kept in their most beautiful blooming state.
"Because I knew you were coming, I made every flower in the garden stay at its most beautiful moment." Lin Guang led him through the garden.
"How did you do it?" Su Mingan asked.
"I don't want to say it." Lin Guang said.
Su Mingan could only keep silent.
He figured out Lin Guang's way of thinking. As long as Lin Guang didn't want to say something, he would definitely not say it.
They walked through the garden, past the creek and the swimming pool. In a world where fresh water resources are extremely scarce, such a clear stream is rare.
Seeing this stream, Su Mingan's eyes flashed with thoughts. The special nature of the City of Gods was still very suspicious.
Walking through the creek and long bridge, Su Mingan saw an ecological forest where various types of trees that should grow in different areas gathered together. The golden color of the ginkgo leaves flashes away, mixed with the lush greenery, shining like gold, like a rich dream with contrasting colors.
That's... a ginkgo leaf?
"Luvis, look over there." Lin Guang stretched out his hand.
Su Mingan looked in his direction - suddenly he saw thousands of golden butterflies fluttering in the sky.
This scene looked shocking and beautiful under the bloody sun. Countless butterflies spread their wings, showing a bright and scattered golden color. The edges were polished and reflective, like a golden road extending towards the sky.
After a while, Su Ming calmed down.
…No, that’s not a butterfly.
There are thousands of ginkgo leaves flying like butterfly wings. A breeze blows from the branches, as if blowing these "butterflies" away. Countless golden leaves "rustling" like stars, due to the light The leaves change from gold to white, as if plated with silver.
The almost endless ginkgo trees suddenly opened up before his eyes, and thousands of flying golden "butterflies" covered this seemingly endless path, like a magnificent golden dream.
The golden ginkgo leaves were born in autumn, but he caught a glimpse of its beautiful shadow in the cold winter.
For a moment, Su Mingan forgot that he was in the crisis-ridden City of God. He was not surrounded by a dangerous madman, but a companion who was watching the scenery with him.
Sand, radiation, wasteland, Origin Stone...these crises seemed to be filtered and distilled and disappeared from his thoughts, leaving only pure and clean peace. Under the thousands of golden colors, the scenery was as shocking and beautiful as snow drifting thousands of miles away, and he was among them.
"Butterfly..." Su Mingan muttered to himself.
"They're not butterflies, those are ginkgo leaves." Lin Guang said.
Su Mingan was silent for a moment.
"Okay, Ginkgo biloba," he said.
Lin Guang glanced at him, his pale eyes full of confusion and confusion. He didn't understand what Su Ming'an was regretting. Could it be that ginkgo leaves were no better than butterflies?
His way of thinking has always been different from ordinary people, and there is an unbreakable layer of glass between him and human sensibility.
If you like something, you will want it; if you don't like it, you will kill it; if you are offended, you will get angry; if you meet someone you are close to, you will want to make friends; if you meet someone you dislike, you will kill it. He is as simple and straightforward as a blank sheet of paper, and his actions are different from ordinary people, weird and cruel.
No matter what happens, he has a specific way to deal with it, to "activate" and "feed back". His judgment methods and behavioral patterns all correspond.
Or……
It is more like a "program" composed of 0s and 1s, and will only arrive at results according to a rigid and standardized way of thinking.
No one taught him, no one accompanied him, no one told him - what you should do.
Maybe Violet told him what "love" was, but she didn't try to guide him hard. He couldn't find anyone who could talk to him as an equal. Until his behavior becomes more and more cruel, his temperament becomes more and more violent, and people become more and more afraid of him, forming a vicious cycle.
He longed for a "feeling of closeness."
In other words, "familiarity".
——So, the moment he first met Luvis, he couldn't restrain his desire for light. This feeling was more like a baby swallow returning to its nest, like a long-lost child finding a companion.
He tried to put himself in Lewis's shoes and imagined "if he were Lewis, why wouldn't he like ginkgo leaves?" But he couldn't figure it out and could only conclude that Lewis probably really liked butterflies more.
It doesn't matter, Lewis can see more butterflies in the future.
So much... like a dream. Like a fantasy.
He raised his hands high, as if to embrace the entire blood-red sky. The sunlight shone through the emerald green leaves, like wisps of hollowed-out golden light. Under the beautiful flying leaves of silver stars like a rain of butterflies, he raised his head, as if he wanted to bury his head in the whole spring light.
"Spring is here, look, Louis!" he said happily: "Spring is here. This is the spring I prepared for you!"
He found that Su Mingan's eyes were hazy, as if he was in a trance. He felt that Luvis must have liked this scene very much.
There was no spring in this ruined world.
The sky is always dark and blood-red, and all people feel is the icy cold wind. They cannot see flowers, vitality and spring.
However, in the City of God, under thousands of golden ginkgo leaves, among the blooming roses and lilies, Linguang presents such a "spring".
Su Mingan stared at this scene of brilliant flowers and said nothing for a long time.
The golden ginkgo leaves rested on his shoulders, as light as a weightless feather. He glanced at the system time.
"Click" "click", there was a crisp sound under your feet.
Stepping on the broken leaves, they walked all the way towards the brighter direction of the bloody sun, as if they had entered an illusory "spring".
The intangible, dreamlike, unreal "spring".
…
——Obviously there are so many people who will never see spring in their lifetime.
…
【outside world】
"Puff puff--"
There was a sound like bursting bubbles, the glass jar was opened, and a person came out.
Che Kelstia, who was wearing a blood-colored cloak, and the black-haired girl No. 9, Xi, who was meeting at night, noticed the movement and raised their heads.
"Coming?" Xi asked.
"Yeah." The young man said.
"Xiao Shuai, are you still used to using this body?" Xi said, "Be careful, don't let Lin Guang see something is wrong."
"Don't worry, it's just multitasking. I'm very good at it." The young man... Su Mingan said.
He moved his hands and then his legs. This bionic body felt a little strange, and its constitution was very weak. It felt blocked in its movements, but fortunately he could barely control it.
Although his body has entered the City of God, he still has to pay attention to the movements in the outside world.
Using the remote control chip, he can control a bionic body at one time and follow the team looking for the Origin Stone. However, this bionic body cannot use the skills of the original body, and can only use guns to make up for it.
He took out the Purple-Light Glory Hunt from the carriage and fired a shot at the rocks in the distance. With a loud explosion, the rocks exploded and smoke filled the air.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough... I'm choking to death!" Xi complained. She is one of the few people who can communicate with Su Ming'an on an equal footing. She has a vicious and straightforward personality.
"This body can barely be considered as capable of fighting." Su Mingan held the Glory Hunt in his arms: "Let's go."
He blinked his hazy eyes. It was still a bit painful to multitask, and he would be in a trance from time to time.
"City Lord, the search for the Origin Stone is already in progress. Underground rivers extend in all directions, and some places have collapsed after years of war. It is difficult to find the Source Stone that was buried back then. There is a fierce battle below, and at least hundreds of thousands of robots are preparing to intercept it. Us." Che walked over and said, "I personally recommend that you don't go down. If you are surrounded by the gods' camp, you will be in trouble."
He still doesn't understand why Luvis ran into Caius Tower. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the city of measurement?
But Luvis is his friend, leading the battle group, and he will accompany him no matter how dangerous it is.
Su Mingan didn't answer and jumped directly.
Che sighed helplessly and jumped down too. His bloody cloak unfolded and swayed like flames in the breeze.
…
【Caiusta·East Area】
Between the rolling valleys, a furious voice sounded.
"——Asshole! How long are you going to stay here with me!"
A young man with white hair and blue eyes was tied tightly to the grape trellis. He cursed a young man in a military cap who was sitting on a wicker chair and reading a book:
"——Get out of my house! Adonis, you ungrateful bastard, I shouldn't have pitied you and let you into the valley in the first place!"
The clone Ming raised his eyelids and turned the pages of the book in his hand: "Well, it's a pity, Beilisel, it's too late for you to regret it."
He discovered this place a few days ago. It is a paradise that is incompatible with the outside world. The owner of the valley was the white-haired boy in front of him, named Beilisel. At that time, Beilisel warned them not to run around, otherwise he would kill them.
However, within a few days, the situation completely reversed.
He blasted Beilisel with his backhand, hung him up, and turned over to become the master of the valley.
This is nothing like the place it should be in the apocalypse. He had to figure out the secret here.
"You're so disgusting! You're so disgusting! I shouldn't have brought you here out of kindness in the first place -" Beilisel said angrily. His face was covered with scars, all from Ming's bare-handed beatings in the past few days. .
"It's a crime to have a jade." Ming Ming said without raising his head, "I had already discovered this valley at that time, so the valley must be mine. You are too weak. This is your fault."
He has read a lot of ancient books in the past few days, which record stories before the catastrophe of the century. Beilisel is a person who likes to read books and has collected many books.
"Wow!" Ming turned to the next page and his eyes narrowed.
"That's it." He said, "I finally found it..."
He stood up and untied the ropes from North Lisser.
"What? Are you finally letting me down? Now if you admit your mistake to me, I will forgive you..." Beiliseer fell to the ground, with anger still lingering on his face.
"Wrong?" Ming said calmly: "Everything I do for the sake of 'the beauty of the world' is not wrong. Everything I do is absolutely right."
He held Beilisel's shoulders: "You can end your life, Beilisel. This world needs you."
Beilisel took a step back: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Ming said: "Haven't you been waiting for a turning point? Now the turning point has come, his name is Luvis."
He closed the page: "So... it's time for all of this to end."
