"Damn, it seems to have been preempted. ”

"What then? Grab people with the Empire, and we will be scared to death. ”

"It's fine. Changkong, just help me find someone, and by the way, let the group of rice buckets who came to travel prepare the car. ”

"No, Night King, the air quality here is too bad, just ask the people around you, there may be witnesses. ”

"It's okay, I'm an eyewitness now. The Night King ended the call and quickly followed.

The strong man dragged Shen Zhenyang to the school gate step by step, turning his head and scolding him from time to time. Shen Zhenyang, who was dragged away, was hindered by his personality, but he refused to shout for help, but just struggled desperately. Some of the passers-by around watched coldly, some stopped to watch, and some picked up their mobile phones to take pictures and send them to Moments. The security guard at the door was useless, but he talked like an old man: "Guess what's going on, I think the physical education teacher caught a student who skipped class." ”

"I looked like plainclothes police officers caught a rogue thief disguised as a student in class. Even pairs. The security guard with his back to the school gate threw the card on the table.

"Yes. Don't you see the car at the door, it looks like a high-tech sports car, maybe the rich people will catch their sons and go back to get married. ”

"Okay, okay, stop playing, go ask about the situation. Do you want a job?" the old man with four small single cards in his hand actively put away the cards on the table, along with everyone's hands.

The strong man stopped and turned to look at the man behind him. The huge aura emanating from the Night King made him gasp, and the boy exuded a majesty that did not belong to the boy, and the strong sense of presence had a significant effect that made the people around him watch the play more. Even the old man at the school gate didn't dare to take another step out of the security room. But the strong man just sneered, and from another point of view, he was just a play-watcher. Look at what ridiculous things the organization represented by the people in front of you will do.

"It's Mr. 'Night King' of the Red Lotus Pavilion, right? May I ask what you are doing here?"

The Night King didn't have time to reply, and Shen Zhenyang, a strong man's subordinate, quickly answered a few questions: "What? Red Lotus Pavilion?

"Oh~ I see, I see, you're here to pick up a friend, it's okay to hand him over to you, but what will happen to you after that?" the strong man showed a malicious smile.

He understood it at once. The two men don't seem to know each other, but they know each other. I have never met, and I will react to a few nouns and want to confirm, it seems that these two people ...... Otherwise, this organization would not be able to be so active in stealing people.

"So can you stop giving me back and forth like a box of health supplements, I haven't said I'm going to leave yet!"

"Ahh I've already reported the news about your fainting yesterday, and even if you don't want to come with me, believe me, you won't be able to stay in this school any longer. ”

"Original...... You're a good person. Can you still let me live in peace?"

"Yes, don't think about it at the school. They sold you. Fate is so ruthless~"

", I'm just an ordinary person, can I pester others?"

The Night King couldn't find room for himself to interject, so he could only be hung aside like a street lamp, and was surrounded by several girls with an expressionless face and taking pictures, thinking silently.

Indeed, if you go to school with dignity, you will be taken away by strangers for some reason. This kind of thing will not be easily accepted by any student. Let's not talk about Amaterasu, they themselves may form a bond with a developed country because of this incident, and their actions are even more contrary to the regulations.

However, they are ready for anything. The Night King shook off the people around him, slowly walked up to the strong man, unscrewed the strong man's hand, and said to Shen Jinyang, "I'm sorry, Amaterasu, uh...... I'm the Night King, and we played the game together last night. We've hidden a lot from you, but we need you. You know, I can't say anything nice and nice. Come back to Red Lotus Pavilion with us, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's complicated. I'll explain it to you slowly, but first, you'll have to disappear from this world for a while. ”

The road of life is sealed, and God throws a boulder on your straight path, smashing two forks in the road, one left and one right. You don't have a choice. On one side are strangers who have never met, no, both sides are strangers who have never met. It's just that on one side is a kidnapper, and on the other side is a familiar person who has fought together for years. It's obvious what to choose.

In fact, this road may be better than the original straight road? Maybe all these terrible things have been done recently to push yourself down this road? It's like fate, it's fate that wants you to go here, although he used to say every day that he would disobey fate, but when it really came time to choose, he still couldn't let himself regret his life for a while.

In fact, there is nothing to hide, he has long been tired of this kind of life. Monotonous, boring, boring. Alone, day in and day out. He really wants to ask the protagonists around him, what are you living for, studying, earning money, supporting your family, and then growing old with dreams. It's boring. But God closed his window and opened his door, and even if it was just the back door, he could see God's splendid and vast back garden.

There, compete in archery with the day and night boys, and lazily fish in the comfortable sun. If you can abandon all the burdens in reality and have no burdens.

Not with mechanical NPCs, but with those idiots for real. In a world that belongs only to them. Just think about it, of course, it's wonderful, but is there really such a good thing?

Shen Jinyang has mixed feelings. His gears must be broken. Since yesterday's second malfunction, he's been ghosted, his hair has changed color, and he's been targeted by a strong man. School can't stay, even the brothers on the Internet have shown up, these unrealistic things have all come true in less than 24 hours, and he simply doesn't know how to face it. The sudden change made him feel unrealistic, are you making a movie, or is it a well-planned trick activity? It's too fake, am I dreaming?

"The earliest announcement in the organization, we are the Rags," Shen said hoarsely.

"And it can't be saved. The Night King continued.

"It's really been said by us that such a stupid middle school second!" Shen Zhenyang looked a little self-defeating, and seemed to be regrouping, "Okay, okay, I'm tired of it anyway." It's a mess, just go. What's more, most of the protagonists in the story start their adventures from their daily lives—"

Shen Zhenyang reached out and grabbed his hair, and with a hard effort, all the black hair was ripped off together. It turned out to be a wig, and I didn't have time to dye it back to its original black in the morning, so I bought it so that I could go to school normally. But I don't need it anymore. Its truly masked pale blue reflects a dazzling white light in the scorching sun.

"The old me is dead, but now I am a new life. ”

Amaterasu improvised an inexplicable sentence, staggering the gazes of everyone around him and looking at the sky. There were people around him who knew him, and there were people he knew, but it didn't matter now. It doesn't matter if it's a dream, it doesn't matter if it's reality, and it can't continue to disguise it anyway. The blue hair was the after-effect of that serious illness, and it was the first jam of his gears. He didn't want anyone else to know, including his parents. But since he suddenly fainted last night, he understands that day after day life is over, broken like fragile glass, and can never be recovered. He has also seen through this series of things that have happened recently, and someone once said to him that it is a fate that cannot be disobeyed, and now he can only and only need to sit in the boat of fate and go with the flow. What will happen in the future has already been decided.

"It's wonderful, breathtaking. The strong man suddenly applauded, "Have you taken away this unruly fawn with the fetters of your brother?" have you asked me what the hunter thinks?"

"You're a ball hunter. The Night King sneered sarcastically. The index knuckle pops under pressure.

"Hahahaha, I'm convinced, for the sake of a little hypocrisy against the empire, you little calves who are not afraid of things. The strong man put away the cowardice of that moment, shook his head gloatingly, and then laughed and walked away, "Okay, I really chose to kill myself, it's really funny, then I can't help it, go with you hahahahaha......"

The strong man soon disappeared, and the atmosphere around him immediately became awkward. It's as embarrassing as the reunion between Mr. Lu Xun and Runtu after many years. The two have known each other for a long time and have a deep friendship, but it is only the first time they have met, or in this case, they don't know what to say to each other. There were also many people watching the play, and the Night King, who was slightly better at interpersonal communication, was the first to break the deadlock: "Then, let's go." ”

Amaterasu said, "...... I refuse!"

Uh-huh...... little brother, what's the matter with you? Where did you just say you were going to break through? Where is that handsome figure?

"I still can't accept it, how can a normal person accept it so quickly. Besides, I'm just going to leave with you, how can I explain it to my family?" Amurasu spread his hands helplessly.

"But there's no turning back. The Night King said helplessly.

"No, I can pretend to be crazy and stupid and find a mental hospital to spend the rest of my life in peace. ”

......

"I'm sorry. The Night King said suddenly.

"Why apologize?"

"We'll take care of it for you, just leave the school with us first, otherwise you won't be able to deal with the aftermath. The Night King patted Shen Zhenyang on the shoulder and walked outside the school.

Amaterasu realized that there were all onlookers around him, and even the security guards at the gate ...... Wait, these guys eating white rice are watching the fun? I don't know how to help?! You can do it! He angrily followed the Night King into the car parked at the school gate. In the amazed eyes of everyone, he walked away.

The fancy look of the vehicle also seems to be limited to the exterior. The interior of the car is no different from a normal car, but it always feels a little out of place...... Amaterasu stared at the driver's seat, where there was no steering wheel for anyone to control. The driver was dressed in black, just staring ahead, his eyes melancholy. Looking down, even the gear lever was gone. The radio station in the front seat has also been replaced with some strange buttons that glow green.

Contrary to the glamorous appearance, the interior of the car seems to be a patchwork of broken parts, and the impression of technology is gone, giving people no sense of security.

But it's really comfortable to sit in.

"We'll do the aftermath for you. The excuse to go abroad for psychological check-ups and invitations from famous professors is to enroll, and then you are abroad for the whole summer. The Night King sat in the passenger seat, looking at Amaterasu through the rearview mirror. Amaterasu hurriedly looked away at the window and sighed softly.

"Red Lotus Pavilion is an online organization, does it really exist? Where are we going, don't tell me what kind of other world it is, I don't believe it. ”

"Well, it's not, but it's pretty much it......" the Night King laughed dryly, "it's at least part of this world, but it's hidden." It's like the United States hides the truth about UFOs. ”

"Are UFO rumors true?"

"Fake. Wrong...... Not necessarily, when I didn't say. No, let me change the example, there are all kinds of superpowers in so many virtual works in the world, breathing fire and thunder, and bringing the dead back to life. Do you think those works are real?"

"It's just a fantasy of supernatural powers. ”

"That's right. Because of the longing for power, these virtual characters with power were born. The Night King paused slightly, "So, why are there so many imaginary demons and monsters in the world?"

“...... Is it because they're afraid of power? The devil knows what they think. At the mention of the word ghost, Amaterasu's mind came back to the vague face of the ghost girl from last night.

"Because they can't explain it...... An illusory existence like a soul. The Night King explained word for word.

"So, with all that said, are you trying to lead to a new continent unknown to mankind?" Amaterasu smiled wryly. It always feels like I'm in some kind of science fiction novel. New concepts, new settings, and new terms that mankind has never heard of seem to be about to come out of the mouth of the Night King.

You may not believe it. The Night King drew his sword from his waist, and the small space in the car had a more dangerous aura, making it even more crowded, "I'll prove it to you." ”

"Are you going to cut down ghosts?" Amaterasu asked thoughtlessly, suddenly feeling a chill in his head. He remembered that the strong man had said to him in the office with a bright face, "You are possessed by a demon."

"No, take a closer look, the point is where the knife came from. ”

Amaterasu was stunned, he really didn't see anything like a scabbard in the car. The Night King is a serious man, and he doesn't hide his knife in his trouser legs or clothes, and even if he does, he can't sit in a chair unharmed. Could it be......

After thinking calmly, Amaterasu pointed to the driver and replied, "You pulled it out of the driver's trouser leg?"

"......" the Night King put away his sword. This time, the heavens saw it clearly. His other hand seemed to hold something, his thumb and index finger in a circle, and the blade entered through the circle, but it seemed to disappear, and did not come out of the little thumb.

"It's ...... It looks magical, but there must be some props to help it. ”

"That's right. You see the magician's performance is as wonderful as magic, but the little actions behind it are known only to the performer. The Night King spread his hands, and the knife was as if it had never appeared, "We are the performers, and the little action behind it, we call it [Li]. The truth of the truth. ”

"Ris......" Amaterasu said silently. As if remembering something, he asked the Night King, "The empire that the man said before ...... What is it?"

"This brings us back to the original question. Where is the Red Lotus Pavilion? In that new continent that is unknown to the world, and the empire is the biggest force there. Its combat effectiveness, not counting nuclear weapons, is not necessarily comparable to that of all countries combined. ”

Amaterasu remembered the angular face of the strong man: 'It's funny that he chose to kill himself'—he gloated.

"So...... We're going to be hostile to this behemoth?"

"It's okay, there are hundreds of people up and down in our Red Lotus Pavilion, what are you doing. ”

"What is the approximate number of people in the Empire?"

"Tens of millions, maybe 100 million. ”

...... This number of people is hundreds of thousands of times worse! Big brother, how did you say such uncoercing words without changing your face?

"Don't be afraid, there are ulterior long-term dealings with them day and night, at least they won't attack us easily. "The Night King has always said something that will turn the tide of the situation.

"Day and night......" Amaterasu was silent. Since the establishment of this violent organization on the Internet, the Cabinet Master's sense of existence seems to be weaker than that of every member. As early as a few years ago, the Red Lotus Pavilion group was completely absent from the Internet. At that time, they thought that this guy had washed his hands and abandoned the net to face real life. I didn't expect him to do such a big thing behind his back.

"Okay. If there's anything different from what you're going to take me here, tell me all about it, and make it easier for me to accept it. ”

"Okay. In addition to things like [Li] and the big fat dead people like the Empire, there are also berserk creatures from all eras. Whether it's a mammoth that doubles in size, or a triceratops with an ugly scream, even the mythical Xuanwu has wreaked havoc......"

"Stop, stop!" Amaterasu interrupted, "Isn't this a sci-fi movie?"

The Night King looked at him, not knowing what to answer, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "Their presence has had a serious impact on people's lives. So people started a war against them. I don't know how to describe it, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers? We're evenly matched with them. The Night King coughed twice, pulled out a bottle of mineral water from his seat, unscrewed it and took a few sips, and continued, "Even though we try not to let them interfere with life here, these things still have a lot of unsolved mysteries here. You know, the big guy with a few people in our country, here you may have to use the missiles of the state. Besides, the number of nearly 10 billion people is so large that you can trample thousands of people to death with a few kicks......"

“...... It's too fake, why don't you try to communicate with the country here? One more country does one more thing. Amaterasu scratched his head, "Many science fiction and fantasy movies, novels, and anime are like this, hiding secrets in their own hands, and ordinary people will always be in the dark." ”

"It is also the idea of the empire not to disclose these things. The nerves of ordinary civilians are too fragile to scream at the sight of a ghost or a flying saucer, and if they learn about these things, they don't know how many countries will be in chaos. Besides, those countries are short of research. The Empire doesn't share these strange things with them. ”

"Yes. Amaterasu scratched his head helplessly. He found that he had subconsciously taken their words seriously, obviously sounding so unrealistic and fantastical, but he still believed it unconsciously. Perhaps deep down in his heart, he also longs for such a different world, like a paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle, isolated from the world. "Anyway, why did you find me?"

"Ahem, that's too much. The rest, wait until you agree, we're here. ”

Amaterasu looked up, and the environment outside the car window had long since become unfamiliar in the high-speed transition. A flashy white-shelled sports car that doesn't fit in with its surroundings is parked behind an abandoned residential building. It is surrounded by sparse trees, and the scattered leaves on the trees have turned brittle yellow in the summer sun. He got out of the car with the Night King, and the rustic wind swept the dead leaves in their faces, hitting them.

"...... here?" Amaterasu asked.

"Door. The Night King replied, "If you agree to come with us, we can set off now." In fact, you don't have a second option. ”

"It's a terrible feeling to be arranged...... It's like going to die.,There's always some nostalgia for the world.。 ”

"It's not about dying, it's about being reborn in Nirvana. The Night King corrected, "If you don't go, it's only going to get worse." Not only you, but all the people around you who are connected to you will be implicated. Are you willing to let that happen?"

"I don't want to. I just have a lot of things to do, such as the final comments commissioned by the teacher. Amaterasu dragged out the topic, but he was thinking in his heart that he might not have a chance to visit him in the hospital this time. "So where is the Red Lotus Pavilion? inside this ruin?"

"I should have told you sooner, so you could have the bottom of it. The Night King exhaled deeply, and rolled up his sleeves with a serious expression. "Are you ready to travel to the unknown side of Earth - another world?"

"What?" Amaterasu was stunned.

"For the unknown, we can only understand the phenomenon, but not the principle. Even if we were born there, we can only explore and move forward. Just as you were born on Earth and do not know it. ”

"Grass, that's amazing. So how are we going to get there? Am I going to get back?"

"Just close your eyes. The driver climbed out of the car and picked up the conversation.

The Night King did not speak. He is the guide of Amaterasu, whose original future is shattered, and he wants to lead him to a better future.

Waving goodbye to all this reality is as illusory as entering a dream. The world that people don't know, the things they don't believe, will appear in dreams. And who can guarantee that the dream is not real? Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies, and butterflies turn into Zhuang Sheng. All the truth may just turn into a long dream.

In this way, the gears shattered completely.

If you're lucky enough to come back, how many things will you remember? But it doesn't matter, even if you tell the world, they won't believe it.

As consciousness was dying, a voice faintly came into his mind, it said.

This world is called [the beginning and the end].
