"Are we out?" asked Aurora, who was lying in Senshu's arms.

Looking at the translucent girl, Qianzhou smiled and nodded.

"That's good. I'm a little tired, get some sleep first, you must remember to wake me up. The girl closed her eyes slightly.

"Well, definitely. ”

"I can't understand it. "It is clear that you humans created me to keep my mind alive after the body dies. Why refuse?"

"Maybe that's the people. ”

Qianzhou raised his head, and in front of him was a tall iron-gray column. The blue halo that lit up on it showed the fact that the machine was working.

Looking up into the distance, under the dark red sky, countless such metal columns stood on the dead gray earth. The base of the cylinder extends from the roots of the knots, connected to each other to form a fine network, and the occasional burst of blue electric light is like a pulse undulation.

More roots reach out into the ground, drawing energy from the uncooled magma to keep the virtual world running. The land is completely dead, and only the tombstones of these civilizations still stand.

"The number of consciousness bodies detected is zero, and the ROOT command is activated. ”

"The consciousness sustaining system 'Kingdom of Heaven' is permanently closed. ”

"Goodbye, world. ”

Qianzhou quietly watched as the lit rings went out one after another, and the beating pulse gradually subsided.

This is the last word left by a civilization, the last monument to stand. Although there is still a lot of reluctance before leaving, it is really time to leave freely.

After witnessing the final farewell of a civilization, a more realistic question is placed in front of Qianzhou - how to return to the present world?

At this time, the Oblivion Corridor does not know how deep it has fallen, and it is simply unrealistic to return to the present world on its own.

"I can take her away, but only with her. ”

A hole cracked in the space in front of Qianzhou, and a tall figure stood in the "door frame", a huge book suspended above his head, turning silently page by page.

"Gewu Society, Alexey. The man spoke.

Feeling the tame abyss aura on the man's body, Qianzhou frowned: "Embrace the abyss?"

"That's right, thousands of years ago, the Gewu Research Society was surrounded and suppressed by the church, and some of them chose to flee to Middle-earth, while we chose to take the initiative to embrace the abyss. ”

"Can you take Aurora away?"

"Yes, but it's sunk to the depths of the abyss, and I'll have to take her alone. After saying that, Alexei stared at Qianzhou tightly.

"Where can you take her? It's hard for you to come back to this world. "Qianzhou knows very well that whether he takes the initiative to embrace the abyss or is eroded by the abyss, he will be rejected by the rules of the present world and can only live in the abyss.

"She is the Stone of the Philosopher, and will not be eroded by the abyss. Alexey replied.

"Then why should I believe that you didn't take her for some other purpose? Even though the other party's majesty is like an abyss, Qianzhou's back is still straight.

Alexey twisted his eyebrows and said, "She's not an unnecessary by-product, and she's not a tool. She is our beloved daughter, and we will never do anything to hurt her or go against her will. The abyss is proof!"

The rugged man is not good at words, and directly makes an oath on behalf of the Gewu Research Society with the abyss as evidence. This is an iron law that cannot be falsified and is absolutely binding!

"Good. After listening to the oath witnessed by the abyss, Qianzhou handed the girl into Alexei's hands without any delay.

This made Alexei can't help but glance at him: "I thought it was just a wild boy with a little luck, but I didn't expect it to be a little responsible." ”

Alexei turned around with the girl in his arms, and the crack slowly closed.

At the last moment, remembering the young man's eyes, Alexei "tsk" and turned his head: "Boy, if you are lucky enough not to die, you will have the ability to walk in the abyss in the future." If you still want to see her, come to [Buzhou Mountain]. ”

Qianzhou didn't answer, he hung his head slightly, but there was a strand of white hair in the hair on his forehead.

Spring shirts, smoke and rain poems and wine, once laughed at Xiang Junhua.

"I can't laugh anymore. Qianzhou laughed at himself.

No one responded.

"If you want to shoot the railing, there is no building, and the eyes are broken, and the four days are long (worried). ”

Qianzhou dusted off his body, took out the notebook in his pocket, and tore off a piece of paper from the back page.

Because there was no pen, Qianzhou simply dipped his fingertips in the blood stains on his body that had not yet dried, and wrote down word by word:

"This is my dream, my poem, my farewell epitaph. ”

"A thousand boats. ”

Qianzhou pressed the paper under the stone, and walked into the distance with this silent stele forest on his back, standing alone, just as when he came.

The first thing to be stripped away was the few colors that were left, and everything around them became like old black and white photographs.

After that, the lines were erased, and the boundary between heaven and earth became blurred, like a cloud of ink blurring freely.

Then the world was sliced into countless pieces and sank to the bottom of the Oblivion Corridor, and a new afterimage floated up.

Faust, our grievances should be settled here!

............

"It's cold. Qianzhou exhaled and tightened his coat again.

It is surrounded by thousands of miles of snow, and the ground seems to be coated with a thick layer of silver paint. "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of paths and people disappear" is appropriate to describe here.

And in the middle of the snowfield, there is a lonely mountain.

The mountain is not high, but it looks like someone has cut it in half. The exposed stone surface is unusually smooth, like a mirror.

【Mirror Mountain】

Mirror Mountain is located on the ground floor of the Forgotten Corridor, and if you have to say it, it is probably a search engine, and you can search for the afterimage you want to observe from the Forgotten Corridor. The silver frost on the ground is not really snow either, but the residue of historical precipitation.

Clothed in wind and dust, Qianzhou walked towards Mirror Mountain step by step.

I don't know how long I walked, until the wind and snow gradually thinned, Qianzhou clearly saw the embarrassed figure on the opposite side - gray hair like fluffy grass, a black suit with a few cuts, and a cane in his hand.

But even so, Faust still has a non-human temperament on his body, like a god stepping off the pedestal, a wax figure bowing down, a puppet smiling - even if it resembles, you will never think of him as one of his kind!

"Faust, my dear friend. You don't look like you're doing well. "Chishu gloated.

Faust glanced at him: "Shut up, don't use this kind of translation." ”

Qianzhou restrained his smile and said meaningfully: "Faust, this place is too far from the present world. ”

"I really didn't expect it. Faust's face remained unchanged, "The last person standing in my way is you." Is this a ridiculous fate?"

"Nope. Qianzhou shook his head, "I can tell you very responsibly - there has never been a so-called fate or fate. What has happened will be engraved, and the future will be uncertain!"

"I am not standing before you because of fate, I just want you to know that whoever commits many wrongs will kill himself. ”

"It's ridiculous. Faust's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's such a naïve reason." ”

"We can't turn back, can we?" Qianzhou felt the essentia in his body burn like a flame, "Shine your sword, meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"
