The phone that spoke to Gerald had been hung up for a long time, but there was still a deathly silence in the private room, and there was no other sound except for the breathing of Lird and Qianrou.

The sky had gradually darkened, and the crimson sunset shone in through the cracks in the windows, forming several long strips of crimson light on the floor, and as the sun set, the long strips of light also changed their positions.

In the end, Qianrou broke the calm and said, "Let's go." Lird nodded, and as he was about to stand up, he found that his legs were as heavy as lead, which was nothing compared to Lird's complex heart.

Edward and the girl in white had been waiting in the next room, and the girl in white sat on a chair with a solemn expression, as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world. Ed, on the side, looked very bored and depressed, and spliced three chairs together to form a simple chair bed, and the whole person lay on it, looking quite tired and dozing in a daze.

Edward and the girl in white walked out, and Edward yawned and whispered to Lird, "If you don't come out again, I'm afraid I'm really going to see God, his old man." The white girl, as beautiful as she looked, was always the same cold dead man, and she couldn't communicate at all, and now I miss the guy named Raqqa. ”

Lird said: "Raqqa should still be recovering from his injuries, and he has been tortured by your hands during this time. ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "The past is not the same as it is now, and now I will pray to God for him." ”

Lird shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. ”

Edward raised an eyebrow and said to Lird, "How is today's affair?

Lird sighed lightly and said, "Let's go." ”

As the group walked out of the restaurant, the sunset had turned its brightest gold, but the light it sprinkled was like sticky blood, the color of which was like Lird's "drenching heart".

At this moment, Qianrou suddenly said to Lierde: "Do you want to go?" Lierde was stunned when she heard this, and didn't know how to answer, but Qianrou turned her head and said something to the girl in white behind her, and then glanced at Edward. But seeing that Edward slowed down his pace very wisely, he kept the same pace as the girl in white.

Lird smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing here?"

Qian Ju said: "Anyway, it's not too early, and it's not bad for the time we have wasted." With that, he sighed, and then turned his head to look behind him, only to see that the girl in white still had an indifferent expression, while Edward smiled at him meaningfully.

In desperation, Lird had to take a few quick steps to keep up with Qianrou's pace.

The crumbling streets in the glow of the sun take on a chic beauty, and the faces of the pedestrians who come and go are full of numbness and tiredness, perhaps they are now going back to their humble dwellings, and after a simple meal, they fall asleep, waiting in a relaxed dream for tomorrow's work.

When they walked past Lird and Qianrou, they all showed surprised glances to them, their appearance and demeanor were obviously not "inferior Indians", and their gestures showed elegant temperament, and many people hurriedly looked away after only one glance, avoiding looking at them. Of course, there were many people who were resentful of this, and their eyes were full of hostility, but their expressions disappeared when they saw Edward not far behind Liard, knowing that the light from the handle of the gun on Edward's waist was still very dazzling.

Leard's walk in such an environment made him feel a little uncomfortable, he hadn't noticed it when he came, and as the sunlight faded away, he became more and more sensitive.

After walking out of about a stick of incense, Lird could no longer suppress his emotions, he wanted to let Qianrou and himself leave him as soon as possible, but before he could speak, Qianrou had already taken the lead in saying: "It looks really beautiful here, doesn't it?"

Lird was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

Qian Ju said: "Compared with the valley where we are located, there is less majestic grandeur here, less natural strangeness, but there is another unique emotional atmosphere here. Life here is ordinary, but peaceful, and people here may not know each other, but most of them know each other. They don't have any complicated secrets on them, and they don't have to sacrifice themselves to protect any secrets, don't you think this life is very happy?"

Liard's eyes were a little hazy, and through Qianrou's words, Lird had an inexplicable liking for the environment that he had just felt a little uncomfortable with.

"Perhaps—" Even so, Lird couldn't say to himself for sure.

Qianrou turned her head to look at Lird and said, "You are from San Francisco, I haven't been there, what is the environment like there?"

Lird thought for a moment and said: "San Francisco is different from here, and it is different from the mountains, or compared to the land of India, San Francisco is more modern, full of steel and concrete, traffic, and even the smell of burning gasoline wafts in the air of the city streets. All in all, I can't say what is good or bad, I can only say that there are three different worlds. ”

Hearing this, Qian Rou whispered, "Are there three different worlds?" Then she smiled and said, "It's funny, you came from San Francisco to the valley where we are, and you came here at this time, you have experienced three different worlds, if from a philosophical point of view, can you be regarded as crossing three dimensional spaces?"

Lird smiled bitterly and said, "It would be nice if dimensional crossing could be as simple as buying a ticket and taking a ferry. ”

Qian shook her head and said softly: "Things don't have to be like that, if it's as simple as taking a ferry, why do we have to risk discovering some other dimensional space mud? ”

Lird retracted his smile and said, "I'm sorry. ”

Qianrou smiled and said, "Why are you sorry? ”

"I also asked myself a question, if the plague had not befallen our tribe, and we had not met Mr. Pym, let alone you, what would our tribe be like?"

Lird thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he won't be in such danger as he is now." Won't stay here for so long, won't be stuck in this situation, won't be bombed by warplanes... All in all, it will save a lot of trouble. ”

Qianrou looked at Lird and said, "Listening to what you say, it's like saying that you and Mr. Pym are scourges." ”

Lird shrugged his shoulders and said, "In the eyes of some people, we are indeed symbols of doom, aren't we? I think the people who have this idea are not just Granny Chas and Abigai. ”

Qian Rou nodded and said, "Maybe, they don't represent people who are completely suspicious, but their strength is the strongest among these people." We defeated the strongest enemy, but we didn't really eradicate the opponent. After that, Qianrou also smiled bitterly and said: "I can't really eradicate all my opponents, otherwise I will become a loner in this sacrifice." ”

At this time, Qianrou's tone was full of sadness and helplessness, Lird looked at her, and his heart was inexplicably a little sad, he knew that the girl in front of him of his age was constantly trying to get the clan out of the current doom, but the cruel reality continued to hit him one after another, and she had to face not only pressure from the outside world, but also bear the doubts and counterattacks from the outside world.

Qianrou under the sunset is no longer the cold and solemn tribal sacrifice, no longer the credible actress Betty, at this time Qianrou is just a weaker girl, a girl who has girlish fantasies in her heart and is worthy of love.

Liard's heart suddenly gave birth to a strong thunderous urge, he really wanted to go up and hug Qianrou, he had no other thoughts, just wanted this girl who was running around all day to rest in his arms for a while, just a moment.

However, Lird did not do this, and could not do so.

Qianrou sighed and said, "I once imagined as you said, there is no disease, no danger, and no friends. After all, it was all a normal life for the Atlantean survivors, and we would leave here without a hitch to leave India and head to Southeast Asia with our goals, and we were even lucky enough to board a ferry that would take us to Australia, where we would continue to live in peace. But, what about after that?"

"The remnants of Atlantis are like dandelions, but dandelions will eventually settle somewhere. In Australia, we're either setting sail again or we're blending in. Neither the former nor the latter is a good choice, but there is no third option. ”

"The world has changed, people have invented trains, steam is no longer the heat that spews from a kettle, but as a power to disperse people around the world, this speed has completely exceeded our feet, that is, we are no longer free in this world that has been fully explored. ”

"Do you know that the Remnants of Atlantis have not fallen to where they are today because of illness or the influence of your father and son. ”

"The world has changed, but the remnants of Atlantis have not. There will inevitably be a contradiction between the changeable and the unchanging, and now is the first flashpoint of this contradiction. Hehe, speaking of which, if it really goes on like this, what the future will be, I really can't imagine. ”

In the face of a vast and changing world, the unchanging remnants of Atlantis can only have one ending: destruction!

Lird said, "That's why you ended up supporting my plan, just to find an unchanging world?"

Qian Rou shook her head and said, "Change is a truth that the entire universe cannot contain, even if I lead the clan to another peaceful world, can I survive like this? Everywhere, a crisis will always come, just as no matter how much one resists death. ”

Learde paused when he heard this, and then said, "If this is really the case, why do you have to resist fate now?"

Qianrou stared at Lird with wide eyes and said, "Do you take medicine when you're sick?" Lird was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Qian Ju said: "Listen to the destiny of heaven and do your best." It's my duty. ”

After that, the emotional state between the two returned to the previous state of peace, but unlike before, after this conversation, some knots in the hearts of the two were untied.

Lird said: "However, no matter what, we still can't do cross-dimensional space travel, we can't build planes that can enter the cosmic horizon, and we can't turn the bioelectricity in our bodies into super energy with the speed of light, everything Gerald said is only applicable to the ideal world in science fiction." He is an excellent film screenwriter. ”

Qianrou smiled slightly, and she also thought of Gerald's last words.

...

"You can write the plot like this, the male protagonist in the movie invented a hat that stimulates the cerebral cortex, and this hat increases the bioelectricity in his brain a thousand times more, and it is this energy that causes his brain to create a horizon space that can be traversed, and then it can travel across the universe!"

...

Qianrou then smiled bitterly and said, "You said that it was simple Gerald, where should I go to make such a hat?"

Lird on the side said: "What Gerald came up with for us is just a good solution, and it can't be the same at all." Not to mention whether the human brain can produce a celestial horizon space, the human brain simply cannot withstand such a large amount of energy. Even a voltage of one hundred and ten volts cannot withstand it, and a thousand times the force, hehe, the entire human body will be evaporated instantly. ”

Lird's words are very practical, considering that his father, Pym, eventually died in agony when he faced the remaining power in his body. My father had absolutely no power to create horizon space, and even Lird was skeptical that Tritoglaia Stone Tablet had such power.

Unexpectedly, Qianrou's attitude towards this was indeed not negative, she just shook her head slightly, and then said softly: "Although what Gerard said sounds ridiculous, it may be achievable..."

Hearing this, Lilde looked at Qianrou in surprise.

The sun had begun to reced, and darkness had begun to erode into the land.

At this time, Qianrou's face was between darkness and light, and it looked extremely mysterious.

After a moment of silence, Qian Ju said, "Our brains may not be able to withstand and produce so much energy, but maybe someone can do it!"
