Su Mingan stared at the "city lord" - who is this?
Is it a god, or is Lin Guang pretending, or is it... the real Asa Akto?
Su Ming'an's breathing was a little rapid. The "city lord" had a calm and composed temperament, and his eyes were so indifferent that it was intimidating.
The temperaments of the two are like looking in the mirror.
Suddenly, a force came from Su Ming'an's arm. Before the "city lord" noticed them, Noah pulled Su Ming'an away with force and fled into the shadow of the city.
"Click."
The cabin door opened, and the white-haired young man walked down the steps step by step and walked into the ice-white room. The first couplet: Magpies climbed on the branches and filled the door with joy; the second couplet: Spring flowers are blooming and the earth is spring.
He took out the dried Spring Festival couplets and pasted them on the door, smoothing out every tiny wrinkle. He had pasted such couplets dozens of times and changed them every year. Now that he had a deep understanding of the Dragon Kingdom culture, he would not The asymmetry of writing appears again.
In addition, there are various photos and drawings posted on the walls of the room, so many that there is no gap left.
He pressed the play button on the center console, and a stream of sound came out from the microphone.
"I have been to many places for adventure. The first place was a city full of mushrooms..."
In the early days of Caius Tower, Su Mingan would often give live broadcasts of speeches, such as the bizarre magical light, the splendid and magnificent sea city, and the battle between the two gods under the black wall.
Back then, people were attracted by these interesting stories, influenced by the aura of missionary work, and were willing to stop and listen to the voice of the city lord. But no one expected that the person who listened most seriously back then was actually the number one enemy far away in the City of God.
Lin Guang saved every screen recording, and thousands of folders were stored in the terminal of his underground laboratory.
"...In that city, there is also a little girl who likes to call me "Doctor". Her name is Xiaohan. I woke up in a laboratory and she said, Doctor, we are the last hope of mankind..."
Voices recorded on the screen came from all directions. Lin Guang had heard these stories thousands of times in the past forty years. Because no one talked to him, he kept listening.
When hearing these stories, various emotions alternately changed on Lin Guang's face. He experienced an emotion similar to seeing grass breaking through the ground... In people's language, this is called "happy".
However, there are still many sounds that make him feel irritated. Over the years, he has always heard various auditory hallucinations:
"...I decided to follow you. I like people who always have the future in mind. I like you and I think you deserve to be my light."
"...I will clear all obstacles for you. I believe in you...but I can't forgive myself for trusting myself to the point of numbness and despair. I want to follow you and start over."
"You are the best.""……"
These sounds came over and over again, like a nightmare, and made him irritated.
He wanted to grab his head with his hands, tear out all the sounds in his head, or rip off his ears.
But in the end, he just stared blankly at the basement in front of him and huddled in the corner.
More than thirty years ago, he obviously had many tough methods. For example, when he first met Luvis, he used the City of God's mechanical army to wipe out the beacon gathering place that had not yet been established. Or, when all residents When everyone advocated handing over Luvis, he drove a huge army of alien beasts to kill these cowards who only knew how to hand over heroes. Or, when Luvis came to his City of Gods as a guest, let Luvis completely Disabled, eliminating the possibility of the city of God falling...
He obviously had countless ways to make the freedom camp lose, but he didn't do any of them.
Instead, he was laissez-faire, watching Doomsday City grow, watching the army approach the city, watching Luvis stop the nuclear explosion, and show his blade at him.
So in the end, as if heading towards his fate - City of God was defeated, it was reasonable for him to run away like a lost dog.
Over the years, he has traveled to many parts of the world, just like an ordinary backpacker. He has met wanderers in the wilderness, lived in uninhabited border towns, and walked through the huge tombs of martyrs during the War of Dawn. , and also saw many scenes of residents getting along with each other.
The thin mother trembled and saved her last bite of rice for her child. (This chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 729: "You are the best."
Soldiers covered in blood carried resources desperately back to the camp, and elderly couples held hands and walked toward the end of their lives together...
He seemed... to be able to understand some of the things called "emotions" that Luvis had shown before.
"Click."
He opened a box, and a green, crystal-like little mantis jumped out. Its arms were not fully developed, like an irregular-shaped emerald.
He brought it close to his lips. It was a dangerous move.
Even though the little mantis was not fully developed, the blade on his forearm was very sharp and cut his lip, causing the pain of cracking in his gums. He did not move away until the restless mantis calmed down.
... Pain is a very strange feeling. When he recalled the smell of blood in his mouth, he thought that many people vomited blood because of his shooting, including Lewis.
At this moment, they may have felt the same way. He felt the pain that Luvis had experienced. Chewing the smell of blood, a sense of peace suddenly and strangely filled his empty heart.
He turned the pistol on his waist, suddenly pointed it at his abdomen, and fired with a bang. In an instant, his face turned pale with pain, and cold sweat fell from his forehead, soaking his collar.
The bullet penetrated his abdomen, and blood oozed out. "So it hurts so much..." he murmured.
...What about being shot through the arm? What about the palm? What about the thigh? What about being choked? What about being slapped against the wall?
The injuries he caused to Luvis were far more than just an abdominal injury. If he could feel similar pain, wouldn't it mean that... he could understand some of this friend's feelings and thoughts?
He rotated the gun and aimed it at other parts of his body.
In the empty room, only the sound of him shooting himself again and again was left.
"When I was listening to my subordinates chatting, I heard them talking about a legend. It said that Hephaestus, the god in charge of fire, was ugly, so his mother Hera threw him under Mount Olympus. When he grew up, Hephaestus built an extremely beautiful chair - the Throne of Hephaestus. The vain Hera took the bait and sat on it. Then, her whole body was locked by the mechanism of the chair. Hephaestus Toth has completed his revenge."
Noah pulled Su Mingan and led him through the streets.
"Are you trying to metaphorize that you are the God of Fire?" Su Mingan said.
Noah does give people the impression of a "flame", whether it is his golden hair like a flame or his passionate and warm temperament like a flame.
"I just want to say that this is a good opportunity." Noah said: "The best way to weaken the gods is to kill the people possessed by the gods. In this way, each of us is like a "Huffy" Throne of Stos"."
Su Mingan was thoughtful.
Noah opened the entrance to the underground passage that looked like a manhole cover. When he walked underground, wires and solidified cement were scattered around his feet. Some abrupt white iron doors became the defensive entrances to the underground passage.
A broad and vast underground square appeared in front of us. More than fifteen meters high, there was even a virtual projection above, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, making this underground city no different from the surface city.
Su Mingan looked at the market, the flow of people, and the underground buildings in front of him.
In recent years, the "New Beacon" army that resisted the brutal rule of Doomsday City has expanded more and more rapidly, like a spark igniting a prairie fire.
Various resistance forces sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and gathered here. Along the way, Noah talked about his experiences in recent years.
"In the past six years, I have lost my last relative." Noah said: "She is my niece, an eighty-year-old old woman. What she likes to do most is to look for games before the catastrophe of the century. As a result, she She did not die in the chaotic war, the cruel famine and cold, but died in a city lord's purge. The game cartridges she collected in her hand were considered "cultural remnants of the last century", and she Identified as "playing violent games and having a rebellious spirit."
When Noah said this, he smiled miserably:
"It's unreasonable and strange, isn't it? A person was actually charged for such a reason. As a relative of me, the commander-in-chief, she should have lived a prosperous life, but she died in this way - just because of collecting I bought some game cartridges. I knelt at the feet of the city lord back then (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 729: "You are the best."
I begged him not to kill her. But it was useless. I still remember the cold light in the eyes of the city lord. He looked at me like an ant crawling on the ground... I suddenly realized at that moment that for Doomsday City I have been fighting on the battlefield for most of my life, but in fact I don’t even have a hair on my head. Grandpa, I always thought that the city lord was you, so I endured his brutality, coldness and cruelty - among the meritorious men When I was brainwashed, I thought this might be the city lord's plan, so I watched with cold eyes and let them cry out that they were wronged. When someone was taken away for no reason, I thought the city lord was just in a bad mood and needed to vent, so I still didn't intervene until The moment the disaster befell me, no one helped me, and I began to regret... I shouldn't have been a "bystander". No matter whether the city lord was the city lord or not, a mistake was a mistake. I should have done it when he made the mistake At the first step, start to resolutely oppose, rather than condone. When he becomes an obstacle, he should be stopped or even overthrown. "
Noah didn't continue talking.
Su Mingan guessed what Noah did later, and Noah was completely heartbroken. So he no longer served Doomsday City wholeheartedly, but contacted such underground cities in order to overthrow the Doomsday City regime.
Every word spoken by Noah contained great pain. For Su Mingan, Kaiusta was just a simulated world that kept looping. But for the people in it, they had really spent several long years. .
The pain, despair, sorrow, and confusion they experienced were all real. Su Mingan had no way of knowing these times. "And today..." Su Mingan said.
"Today, you are back, Grandpa." Noah looked at him. Noah's eyes were hot, like fire.
"Every time I see you, my heart beats. I can't control myself from helping you. Today, when I passed by the teahouse and saw you, I forgot all the tasks today and just wanted to risk it. Risk pulls you away."
Su Mingan: "...why." Noah thought about this question seriously. "Maybe because you are the one who has the future." Noah said:
"You are different from those of us who are imprisoned in the past. We are destined to be unable to see the spring of the future and can only repeatedly sink into the most dangerous, miserable and desperate times, but you can move towards the future without any scruples. So we'll do our best to push you into spring."
"..." Su Mingan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't tell Noah that his favorability was just a product of forced improvement by the system.
Noah took him to the deepest part of the underground city, to a church-like building. A slender girl stood there.
She stood under the colored window, and the virtual light was projected from the top of the hall, reflecting on her face. She put her hands on her chest in a gesture of mourning. It seemed that there was something ethereal lingering around her. Caress her beautiful face.
When she heard the noise, she turned around and looked at him with her clear green eyes, like a quiet lake in the forest.
