"You may not know about the Prince Xiang case." Li Shen glanced at Gu Hanhan, "Acropolis never has much memory of old events, and it should be difficult to understand what happened in New Chang'an at that time. Matter. In fact, even I, and even the Gonggun princes in power in the empire, can hardly say that they can grasp the full picture of the matter. To this day, it can only be said to be a thing of the past."
"The Prince Xiang case initially started as a theft incident in the border fleet, but it developed into a major conspiracy case directed against my second brother and my eldest sister myself, involving more than 100,000 people. The entire political arena of the empire has been involved. The most terrifying thing is that you can’t find any culprit for this matter. We have no real opponents and no so-called opponents in this conspiracy. Family. Everyone is the chief culprit in this matter, but at the same time everyone is innocent."
"At that time, I was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although I was still inconvenient to speak on the politics of the empire, I had read many books and attended many schools. I was imitating the history. There are many philosophies of governance. But it wasn’t until the King Xiang case actually broke out, and I was really involved in it, that I realized for the first time the horror of politics.”
"I watched helplessly as my second brother was pulled into the center of this political storm and was helpless. I couldn't find anyone to deal with, and there was no way to calm the situation. Not only did I? We were helpless and couldn't come up with a solution. Everyone else was also helpless. No matter the emperor, prime minister or other imperial political giants, in the end everyone was involved in it and couldn't get out. I? The teachers and advisers at the Zong Palace advised me to wait, but they refused to directly decipher the secrets of waiting for me, which could not make me accept and convince."
"I couldn't accept it at all at the time. Countless people were involved every day. As long as they were involved in things like reverse crimes, it meant it was difficult to survive. Every day, people died or committed suicide. Kill or be sentenced. And with the expansion of the incident, this rhythm of death is getting closer and closer to my second brother and eldest sister. In the end, it is difficult for them to escape the accusation of treason. The teachers and counselors are very vague, they He vaguely mentioned that even if the charges were finally confirmed, as long as I was willing to wait patiently, things would definitely turn around. But how could I wait any longer, under the kind of political pressure that they have every passing second? Maybe I would give up my life and choose to commit suicide, and gain relief and closure in this way, just like my father did. I simply doubt that their suggestion was to delay my brother's death by suicide, so that things could be settled. It was resolved and completely put to rest.”
"This is indeed the case. As long as they die or are convicted of treason, the problem can be temporarily solved. Because people who have been saddled with the reputation of treason can no longer have political influence, no matter you are Whose father, whose son, whose blood relative, as long as you are a rebel, then in the political arena of the empire, it is equivalent to a death sentence."
"So I was absolutely furious at that time, not only because of my own incompetence, but also because of the abomination of imperial politics. Because I couldn't find any opponents or enemies, I wanted to kill them all and defeat them all! We feel that the whole world is our enemy, whether it is the emperor, ministers, or people, all of them hold their own selfish motives and work together to persecute us and persecute us. I mean. I have never for a moment hated the superpowers we have and the potential we have. I wish I could destroy them and make them disappear completely, and I want to use them to destroy everything, human beings. No matter what, the history of the empire, let these dark existences disappear completely."
"Indeed, I almost did it. That day I left behind my entourage and climbed up to the highest platform of the Gods in Jianzhang Palace by myself, intending to sweep this business away. Star, even if it cannot completely destroy this place, it can at least turn those humans with sinister intentions into mice, cockroaches, and all the lower animals that fit their despicable sentiments." When he said this, Li Shen smiled for a moment, as if I feel ironic and amused that I had such a psychological experience as a middle-aged and angry young man when I was a teenager. "Then I saw the Pearl right there," he said.
"Mingzhu must have been in her twenties at the time. She had bright eyes and sharp teeth. She was prettier and smiled more than she is now. She was a beautiful sister. She was accompanying her grandfather in editing books at that time, so she could go in and out of Jianzhang Palace to check the collection. ?Some ancient books and historical materials in the library. The library of Jianzhang Palace is under the Shenming Terrace. After Mingzhu got the permission to enter and exit the library, she expanded it into a privilege. She would take it after lunch every day. After reading the historical materials that suit her own taste, she then climbed up the stairs of the library to the Shenming Terrace, where she read in the afternoon light and took a lunch break. She could also overlook the sky and the earth until the sunset in Chang'an, when her afternoon tea time was over. .”
"This is what I saw when I climbed up to the platform of the gods. She was lying under the sun umbrella, with her hair disheveled, holding an ancient thread-bound book in her hand, and still sucking it into her mouth. Stuff some snacks. Of course she also saw me, and stayed there in surprise. Then she was irritated by me, the uninvited guest, as if I had invaded her private territory without permission. She choked on the snacks in her throat and jumped. She went down to the ground and waved her arms to drive me away. At that time, I was completely despondent and only wanted to destroy New Chang'an. I had no intention of getting involved with her. So I told her that I was Li Shen and asked her to leave here quickly. . But Mingzhu didn’t believe it at all. She swallowed the snack and then said that I was bragging.”
"Sometimes you have to pay taxes when you brag, little brother," she said at that time, "Next time you can brag that you are the son of the Milky Way, Othello of the universe, so you can brag to the big world without paying taxes. , but if you pretend to be the emperor, you will be beheaded."
"She told me to run away, and she would keep it a secret for me without telling anyone. She also gave me a piece of snack to keep her secret and not tell anyone about her unauthorized occupation of the Shenming Terrace. Bribery. I was very angry and told her that I was indeed Li Shen himself. She believed it or not and left or not. Anyway, I was going to destroy this place soon. The whole New Chang'an would soon be in ruins. Everyone will turn into bugs, mice, and cockroaches. If she doesn't leave, she will be the first to be changed. As the first one, we can give her some priority and turn her into a new person. Become a frog instead of a mouse cockroach and bed bug.”
"This immediately caused Mingzhu to burst out laughing. Not only was she not scared away, but she couldn't stop laughing. She laughed at me and said, 'Little brother, whose family are you from? What's your surname?' What do you mean? Who are your parents? Are you being bullied by someone or is someone at home treating you badly? It turns out that you have super powers. Are you in the second year of middle school this year? Grade? Even if you are a sophomore in middle school and are discriminated against because of your superpowers, you can't give up on yourself and think about destruction!'"
"She said first of all, it's useless if you want to destroy it. Although I don't know how many levels of your super power you have, how many levels can you have at your age? You can't destroy New Chang'an at all, and you can't destroy this place. You can't destroy a planet, or even this God's Platform under your feet - even if you can destroy it, so what? There is a galaxy beyond the empire, and there is a universe beyond the galaxy. How can you still destroy it? Can't you turn all mankind into rats, cockroaches and bed bugs? Then you will be the only one left in this world. What does it mean that you are still alive?"
"Secondly, you want to turn people into mice, cockroaches and bedbugs. This is too stupid, but it doesn't matter. My sister will teach you a smart way. Since you thought of biological modification, you must be a growth system. The growth system is the most powerful. It is the power of time. If you have mastered this ability, then you can jump up now and cover this planet with the power of time. In an instant, all the people below, the people you hate, will change. No matter whether it is the person you like, there is not even a handful of withered bones left. So what you should do now is not to engage in these ant disputes, but to go back and study hard and pursue a higher level of life. She Say, when you stand here at such a high place, all you see are cockroaches, mice and bed bugs. When you stand at a higher place one day, what will you see? "
"I was greatly shocked at the time. This was the first time I realized the concept of superpowers, and vaguely understood the meaning of human beings. You see, that's it, Mingzhu doesn't have any superpowers. But this does not prevent her from looking at the problem from the perspective of a top superpower. So what do other people think of us? There are many in the universe who do not have any superpowers like the Pearl but are just like her. There are ordinary people with the same height of vision, and even we ourselves are one of these people. Genes do not represent any problem. If our superpowers are not awakened, we do not have the ultimate potential. , then we are no different from these people. How should we treat them? "
"Later, I ran back to the ancestral palace crying. No one knew that I had secretly climbed onto the God's Platform and wanted to destroy the world. And the case of King Xiang was finally solved a year later in an unfounded way. The formality ended. My brother-in-law had a keen sense of resignation before the case involved my eldest sister. He quit the center of power and followed my eldest sister into the fertile field of art. It was not until two or three years ago that he Let's go out again. My brother has a tougher personality and it is difficult to accept this unwarranted result. He has been accused of being a traitor for his own innocence and it is impossible to really clear up this crime. He was so outraged by the result that he fled before the official verdict. He decided to completely break away from the country and the family and never come back. The Acropolis and the temple should have provided him with a considerable degree of help and support. Instigated, and the empire may have given him great convenience to escape. In fact, it was precisely because of his departure that the King Xiang case was concluded with the minimum cost. Most of the innocent people implicated were saved. Life, a political storm was eliminated?"
"This is not the first time in the history of the empire, and it will probably not be the last time. If you feel that the whole world is targeting you, it is actually just because they are afraid of you. You have to give them time, rather than putting them away." They push themselves deeper into the abyss of fear.”
He looked at Gu Hanhan: "You see, that's what superpowers are all about. You can't stop others from being afraid of you. Everything about you is already in front of everyone's eyes, and they can't help but be afraid. So people with superpowers are inherently afraid of you. Talents must have ethics, the ethics of being a human being. Because if you can't keep this ethics, then you really are no longer a human being."
The city of the academy is already in sight, and the huge and scattered body of the spaceship is at their feet. It looks like a sea whale whose head and half of its body have been chewed off, leaving only a broken skeleton. Li Shen expressed his approval of the sea whale and then took a fragment from its tail.
"The space jump technology shouldn't require the entire spaceship—"
As he said this, he threw the fragment to the ground, and then a branch sprouted from the gravel underground, and then condensed into a bud. The overlapping petals shimmer with light, which is the unique material luster of the ruins fragments. Surrounding the petals is the radiance of energy. A complete third-level energy wave is contained in it and can be released at any time.
Li Shen pulled off the flower and handed it to Gu Hanhan.
"If you want to take something, you must first give it to it." He said, "Since you want to recycle those fragments, wouldn't it be enough to let them lose their original value in this world?"
