Chapter 70: The Gate of the Tower
Lonely.
Endless loneliness swallowed Tang Zhen's heart, and he could observe the current situation of the whole world—the void.
There is no foundation, no Yuan Aiyu, no He Ma, no Zhen Lihua, Wang Rui, Li Rong, Li Xiang...... Not a single one.
But Tang Zhen is in the same world as them, but there is a feeling that he is separated by a membrane, as his "heart demon" said, he is now a high-level life form, although he doesn't understand the meaning, but he believes that everything can be explained clearly.
Tang Zhen remembered a movie he watched many years ago - Super Body, in which the protagonist was integrated with the world after unlocking 100% brain usage, and his current state is very similar to the protagonist in this movie, the only difference is that he did not disappear in place.
I want to take a look at my attribute panel, but now he has no system, and the days before he opened all kinds of panels with a single move have passed, and now he can only stare at the air in a daze.
Sitting on the bed, Tang Zhen's mind was empty.
When he closes his eyes, he is a portrait of the whole world, and he can feel every life that exists in this world, observing their behavior and state.
Oh, God?
Maybe it's a bit like that.
He could see that there were endless human beings and animals suffering in all corners of the world, they were struggling, they were suffering, they were questioning whether they should exist.
And when they take their last breath, their lives are temporarily over, but below, below the world, the gears of reincarnation are turning all the time.
【Gates of the Netherworld】
Tang Zhen didn't understand why such a thought popped into his mind, but he just wanted to open the door of the netherworld and release the suffering soul trapped in the gears.
Open it.
He saw the moment the gears shattered.
Countless souls returned to the surface of the earth, and in the center of the earth, it was as if a giant beast let out a roar and asked Tang Zhen why he did this.
Tang Zhen's current state is a bit like letting go of himself after being drunk, any of his thoughts and actions are completely driven by instinct, without thinking through his brain.
The opening of the netherworld was only the first step, and he didn't want to see anyone living in pain anymore, so he decided to deprive them of the right to live.
Since they could no longer return to the gears and wait for the reincarnation to come back, the people who died because of Tang Zhen were directly exiled in the human world, floating on the continent together with the souls that were released.
Why?
He heard a voice asking.
Tang Zhen did not answer, but continued to kill people and animals living in suffering batch after batch.
Finally, before he got bored, there was no more life in the world to live in misery.
Why?
The voice asked again.
"If you have to have a reason, I'll tell you, because I don't care. Tang Zhen muttered to himself into the air.
His "inner demon" said that there is still a long way to go in the future, but Tang Zhen just wants to see if there will be a way for him to go after he turns the world upside down.
No change.
The size of the world only lightened slightly after Tang Zhen grabbed that handful of air, and the earth was still a cage, and all souls and lifeforms, including Tang Zhen, were trapped in it.
In the dark, Tang Zhen seemed to see a piece of cloth, a fig leaf blocking the earth, there seemed to be something hidden, but he couldn't lift it, no matter how hard he tried, the shackles on his body were always dragging him back.
Sure enough, there is still a long way to go.
Tang Zhen's whole deduction happened quietly, a conjecture that arose after he let go of the air in his hand, although he did not actually act, but he was already aware of the consequences in the sand table in his heart.
Even if he becomes a high-level life form, it still can't change the fact that he is a caged bird, the future is still a long way, and he is not enough to lift that fig leaf, and he can't break free from his own shackles.
The next day.
Tang Zhen shared breakfast with the members of the Foundation as if nothing had happened.
Tang Zhen had been secretly observing them when he was drinking porridge, and everyone had a layer of bubble film on their bodies, although he wanted to puncture it, but because he didn't know the consequences, Tang Zhen didn't dare to have any contact with them.
"You're weird today. Yuan Aiyu looked at Tang Zhen and said.
Tang Zhen smiled and touched his head, "Is there one?"
Yuan Aiyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Where?"
"I can't tell. ”
Tang Zhen said: "Then it may be that you are thinking too much, do you have any arrangements for later? Do you want to volunteer with me for a day?"
"Volunteer?" Yuan Aiyu stopped the chopsticks in her hand, and couldn't understand why Tang Zhen suddenly had such an idea.
"yes, help our Foundation critters find some new companions. ”
Yuan Aiyu said: "I thought that you were going to wait until the reception center was built to start this matter." ”
Tang Zhen didn't answer her question directly, but looked at Zhen Lihua and the others: "What about you, do you want to go together?"
Zhen Lihua shook her head and said, "In the afternoon, I will meet with the heads of several news agencies to make future plans." ”
Wang Rui said: "I want to follow." ”
Li Rong said: "I want to learn to drive." ”
"Okay. Seeing that they all had their own things, Tang Zhen said to Yuan Aiyu: "It seems that we are the only ones." ”
Yuan Aiyu drank the last mouthful of porridge, put away the dishes and chopsticks, got up and said, "I'm sorry, I have something to do in the afternoon, I have to go home, my aunt recently had an operation, I have to go and see." ”
Tang Zhen felt that he had been abandoned, and said with an aggrieved expression: "Okay." ”
"Poof. Wang Rui suddenly laughed, "Haha, the boss is really weird today." ”
"Well, yes. Zhen Lihua agreed.
It was the first time they had seen Tang Zhen make such an expression, although Tang Zhen was also very good at talking in the past, it would always give people the illusion that it was difficult to get close, but now it was different, the barrier between them disappeared.
Li Xiang echoed: "I think too." ”
Tang Zhen touched his head, he felt that there was a film on their bodies when he looked at them, but when they looked at themselves, the film disappeared.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but since you don't want to go with me, I'll have to go alone. ”
After speaking, Tang Zhen fled the table.
Leave the Foundation.
He didn't choose to drive, but chose to use his legs to feel the world more closely.
There was no one around, Tang Zhen secretly stepped on the air, now he can step in the void and teleport to any corner of the world, but he doesn't dare to do it too blatantly, whether it is hidden underground, or behind the scenes, it is all an existence that he can't fight against.
At this moment, he deeply understands the importance of the human community, and he needs to fill his world with humans, and then join hands with everyone to open the door of the tower that imprisons humanity.
