Chapter 995: Time is like a dream
The world is far away, and the hearts of the people are needles at the bottom of the sea.
What is the rarest thing about interacting with people?
Trust.
Why do Jianghu people attach so much importance to faith? It is really because it is too rare.
There are so many elements in this world that tempt and compel people to be perfidicious. At the moment of life and death, powerful appeals, fame and fortune temptations, love-hate entanglements for the sake of interests, relatives can turn against each other, brothers and sisters can also cause trouble, and couples who seem to be in love with each other may also become Feiyan when the catastrophe comes.
In the vast rivers and lakes of this complicated world, it is too difficult to stick to your heart and keep your word!
The most dangerous part of the White Emperor's trap is not in this mirror demon palace, nor in the mysterious and powerful fox venerable, but in the sinister and unpredictable human heart.
Tiankui laughed and said proudly: "Li Muye, you have no choice but to turn against Bai Wufang, what are you still thinking about? Now I am the only one who can help you find His Royal Highness the Red Emperor, why don't you let me go quickly?"
"Let you go?" Li Muye retracted his blank gaze, stayed on this face that seemed to be fierce and loyal, but was actually treacherous, and suddenly grinned, and said, "It's okay, then it will be you." As he spoke, he let go of his hand and threw the frightened Tiankui out.
Tianyi is weak water, the lightest and most poisonous, because it is the purest water, tangible and spiritless, so it can absorb the power of the soul, which is the so-called spiritual force. In short, washing one's face with this water can turn a person into a fool.
Li Muye threw Tiankui out with strength, he had an empty force but couldn't exert it at all, he could only watch in despair as he fell into the water, struggled out of the water, and shouted in hatred: "Li Muye, you will pay for your stupid decision!"
"Hey, hey. Brother Ono smiled cruelly: "No matter what happens to me in the future, you won't be able to see it anyway." ”
Tiankui was still struggling, handed a hand up, and said urgently: "Help, pull me quickly, Li Muye, there is a space-time trap in the Mirror Demon Palace, and you yourself have no way to guarantee that you won't take a wrong step" The answer to him was a glass bead.
Li Muye looked at the ripples caused by the sinking of Tiankui and quickly returned to the calm water, stood up, sighed, and said to himself: "Since ancient times, it is difficult to compare this heart with the other. ”
In 2030, the human race on Earth officially entered the era of the Awakening of the Force, and the trend of evolution to a higher level of civilization has begun to emerge.
Along with the republics, North America, and the Russian East Siberian Group have successively announced the unlocking of controlled nuclear fusion miniaturization technology. Fusion technology is widely used in various fields, which not only solves the problem of energy depletion, but also brings about the rapid development of science and technology.
The stronger mobility made the world smaller and smaller, and the distance between countries quickly faded, and countries around the world chose sides around the three major powers that mastered the core technology, and soon formed three huge alliances, namely the Chinese Civilization Alliance, the American Alliance, and the Nordic Sacred Axis Entente.
Civilizations have led to greater destructive capabilities, and instead of destroying the world, increasingly powerful weapons have turned war into an untouchable off-limit. The three alliances thus agreed that for the sake of a common destiny, the world must remain at least at semblance of peace.
In this era, people have mimicked the way the Force masters control the energy of dark matter, using this as a source of energy to develop new weapons collectively known as quantum weapons, miniaturized individual quantum weapons that can allow an ordinary soldier to have the power of God Slayer.
From gunpowder and oil civilization to atomic civilization, mankind has experienced 300 years of evolution, but still has not reached the peak of atomic civilization. After the era of the Force's awakening, as more and more dark matter energy was mastered by human beings, it only took more than ten years for human beings to evolve from atomic civilization to quantum civilization.
At the same time, the power struggle between the nations of the world and the charlatans with many of the Force's Awakened Masters has intensified.
The super-network established by the three alliances has allowed the whole world to communicate without hindrance, bringing infinite convenience, and at the same time, it has also left an opportunity for the charlatans to control the mouthpiece and incite public opinion. The creation of quantum weapons has limited the scale of warfare, but it has not been able to prevent the Awakened Force from having this era.
The strong are respected, and they will not change in any era.
In this new era, the great white phoenix represents the pinnacle of human cultivation civilization, and is also listed as the number one dangerous person by the three major government alliances, and the female devil who conspires to subvert human civilization. In addition, in South America, deep in the vast and majestic Andes Mountains, a huge organization built almost entirely by artificial intelligence has also been listed as an enemy of humanity by the coalition government. At the southern end of the Chinese Civilization Circle Alliance, the merman tribe, known as the source of new civilization, turned from underground to aboveground, unified the two major Jianghu organizations of Nanhaimen and Xiaoyao Pavilion in one fell swoop, and established the powerful Tianzhou.
The world's rivers and lakes have also entered a new era of three-legged support.
It all started fifteen years ago, in the deepest part of the ocean, two people who loved each other made different choices.
Because of this choice, the trajectory of the entire era was changed. In the spring of that year, the head of the merman tribe, the White Emperor, formed an alliance with the military of the Republic, and the Republic became the first country to possess controlled fusion miniaturization technology that year. Then, for inexplicable reasons, the technology was leaked and mastered by the other two major alliances.
It was also in that year, one day in July, that the North American Poison Phoenix announced the development of a superpotion that changed the trajectory of human evolution, causing an uproar in the entire world of rivers and lakes, and attracting countless followers at the level of the Awakened Force for a while. In September of the same year, one of North America's most advanced warplanes was shot down by quantum weapons while on a mission over the Andes Mountains in South America. A powerful group has designated this area as a no-fly zone and declared that a new era of artificial intelligence will replace humans in the management of the world!
Humans may only be one of the most capable creatures of memory, but they are definitely the ones who know the most about selective amnesia.
In the context of the new era, people are gradually adapting to the current life, and few people are willing to explore what happened on the bottom of the sea that year.
In early spring, the Chinese Civilization Alliance, the capital, a brilliant giant city with a population of more than 50 million.
Within the fifth ring road, every inch of land is gold, and within the second ring is called an inch of land and gold, and there is no market.
Outside the Second Ring Road, in the city of high-rise buildings, tens of millions of people of all colors live in this cramped area, except for about 20 million indigenous people, the remaining 13 million people are immigrants from all over the world who worship Chinese civilization. Among them, the majority are yellow people from Northeast Asia, followed by black people from Asia, Africa and Latin America, and about 15 percent of white people from Europe and the United States.
They choose to live here, and they are proud to be able to speak authentic Mandarin Chinese, drink authentic Erguotou, and memorize more than 100 ancient Chinese poems. In this new era of civilization, humanity seems to have forgotten about racial barriers, and everyone has become the master of this planet.
In this age of evolution from moment to moment, some things are eternal.
For example, the gap between poverty and wealth, the distance between the powerful and the small people.
In this era when it is impossible to cram all the buildings that mark the history of human civilization into computer storage programs, it is really a strange thing to keep a courtyard house with a single courtyard on this land with high land utilization rate and eager to build buildings into space. In the Chinese Civilization Alliance, there are no more than ten people who are eligible for such privileges, and the owner of this courtyard is one of them, Chen Binghui, the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the military.
In the evening, Zhou Ping, the head of Zhou's Enterprise, the number one catering giant in the Chinese civilization circle, came to visit, and Chen Binghui was watching a movie with his wife Lin Jing.
The two-square-meter hologram display screen is showing an old movie that was hailed as a milestone in Chinese science fiction movies many years ago, telling the story of humans having to install a huge fusion engine on the earth to take the earth out of the solar system because of the expansion of the sun. Many years ago, this old movie, which was considered to be full of loopholes and advanced consciousness, is now considered to be scientifically logically reasonable, but consciousness is greatly outdated.
The creation of a very large controllable fusion engine is no longer a problem for mankind, and it is logically tenable. But the idea is inevitably too outdated. The rapid progress of science and technology has given mankind the ambition to transform other celestial bodies into a new earth, or even create a new sun.
Because Zhou Ping's good buddy, the famous big brother in the music world, Lin Xiangyu, is Lin Jing's nephew, so he also respects Chen Binghui and his wife's aunt and uncle.
Today's Chinese Civilization Alliance has not changed much from its predecessor republic, but the power of politicians is no longer comparable to that of many years ago. The influence and strength of the charlatans greatly limit the power of the power institutions. However, top military bigwigs like Chen Binghui still maintain a strong influence.
Zhou Ping is not an ordinary person, in addition to being one of the richest people in this country, he also has a strong quantum mercenary, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the world of the Chinese Civilization Alliance. But in front of Chen Binghui, this Jianghu boss in the Chinese civilization circle can only bow down to his ears.
Chen Binghui is already in his sixtieth year, but he looks like he is only thirty or forty years old. In this era, the Zhuyan Pill produced by Baiyuntang has been very popular, but this kind of pill that squeezes life potential and is strongly addictive is impossible to enter the mouth of the chief adult.
"What's the matter, is there anything important?" Chen Binghui turned off the movie that had not been played, and said: "You kid had better give me a reason of enough weight, I have warned you a long time ago, unless there are special circumstances, you will never be allowed to come to my house to meet, you know, I don't like to deal with those dogs in the General Inspectorate the most." ”
"Don't forget that the General Inspectorate was also established under your promotion, the famous sentence: corruption in the army, especially the victory of the tiger, the General Administration of Inspectorate, Times Wu Song, is also what you said. Zhou Ping's attitude was neither salty nor indifferent, and his tone was unhurried and slapped a colored invisible fart, and said: "The two women from the north have moved, and the lady surnamed An bought a property from Dongying Trading Company on the side of Laowangfu Street, as if she was going to open a clinic. ”
"Sooner or later, it will come. Chen Binghui sighed and asked, "What else did they do?"
"Men from the MIA have launched an investigation into the two women who are in charge. Zhou Ping said: "The attitude of the Lu Bureau is quite strange, the ability assessment report provided by the Religious Affairs Office shows that Ms. An is likely to be a seventh-level ability, but the Lu Bureau did not activate the relevant plan in accordance with the regulations, nor did it isolate and scan them." ”
"Well, that's a big situation. Chen Binghui nodded and said: "You don't care what Director Lu does, your task is to ensure that all the actions of these two women in the civil society are under our control, you are a businessman to the outside world, and you should not have any actions beyond the scope of business." ”
"Yes!" Zhou Ping stood upright with the etiquette of a soldier, and said: " That young girl is also a little strange, the results of the Religious Affairs Office's review when she entered the country showed that she was the Force Awakener, but the level was too low, and I couldn't determine which ability it was, but when I faced the review later, I found that she was not the Force Awakener, which is a bit extraordinary, you know, once the Force awakens, there is no possibility of disappearing, I think this matter must be strange, so I recommend that you arrange for the Lu Bureau to conduct an extraordinary review of the young girl. ”
"No need. Chen Binghui waved his hand and said: "This girl named Li Mai is very safe and will not bring any catastrophic hidden dangers." ”
Zhou Ping said: "How do you listen to your tone as if you know her very well?" The implication is that since you know so well, why did you arrange for me to secretly examine them? He is a proud person, who joined the Military Intelligence Bureau for the sake of a woman he admired all his life, and has been loyal to his duties since then. In the face of no matter how big the leader is, he is always neither humble nor arrogant, and he will never engage in flattery.
Chen Binghui was neither surprised nor concerned by his questioning, and said with a smile: "Your level is not enough, so don't ask more." Then he asked, "Has that person been moving on lately?"
"Nope. Zhou Ping shook his head and said: "It's still the same, since I recruited him into the Zhonghua Building head office a year ago, it has always been like that, every day life is very regular, get up at a fixed time, exercise at a fixed time, and then go to the back kitchen on time to start work, work diligently, work hard, eat lunch on time, and get off work on time for dinner." He paused, and then said, "This person is so ordinary, to be honest, if it weren't for the task you personally gave me, I would never have found anything wrong with him." ”
"Keep watching. Chen Binghui sighed again, this powerful chief has never been a sentimental person, but today he seems to sigh a little too much. He pondered for a while, and then said: "According to the principle that I explained to you before, you must treat him as if he does not exist, and you must always keep track of his movements." ”
"Yes!" Zhou Ping solemnly received the order, and said: "The two women from the north opened the medical hall opposite the global head office of Zhonghua Building, as if they were here to spy on me, do you think there will be any special catty here?"
"Do your thing, remember, don't have anything to do with these two women outside of the business plane. ”
At 11 o'clock at night, at No. 72 Wangfu Street, the entrance to the underground apartment of Guofu No. 9 Mansion.
A neatly dressed and thin man walked in with his head bowed with a large shopping bag.
Not far behind him, a black girl with pigtails walked out of the shadows and shouted in fluent Chinese, "Dude, wait a minute." ”
The man stopped, but didn't look back.
The black girl quickly followed, and in the shadows behind her, several other black men were tiptoeing to move.
"Hey, you seem to have forgotten something, don't you?" said the black girl as she caught up with the man. In her hand there was a three-inch-long titanium yellow knife.
In the Chinese Civilization Alliance, there is a strict control policy on the use of weapons. Any knife that is more than three inches long is a tube product and is monitored by a safety network from the factory to the sale. So these little thugs can only use this pedicure knife-like thing.
The yellow knife in the little black girl's hand has been modified, adding a blood tank and paralyzing poison. This kind of deception is very common in the rivers and lakes of this era.
The man stood still and didn't look back at the black girl, but just asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Less nonsense, money!" said the black girl murderously, "hand over all the valuable things on you, or I'll kill you!"
With a snap, the man threw the eco-friendly shopping bag in his hand on the ground. Then he cooperated very well and threw away the little cash left in his pocket.
"It's gone. ”
"No, and your ring. ”
"This ring is not valuable, but it has a special meaning to me. The man raised his hand, glanced at the gadgets made of nanoalloys, remembered some of the past, sighed, and said, "I've been wearing it on my hand for a long time, and I can't take it off." ”
"I said take off your ring!"
The more the man said that, the more the little black girl decided that the ring was a valuable item. There are several addicts hiding behind her, each of them a demon who can't see the light. They were taking an inferior drug from the alliance's Toei Province, which was said to be a defective product diluted by the Great Drug King Ashiya Tadanobu from North America. It is very addictive, and after taking it, it will increase physical strength for a short time, and the side effect is fear of sunlight, so this addict is also called the Night Clan.
The man's hand stroked the ring, shook his head, and said, "Come on, take that little knife of yours and stab me to death." ”
"You think I wouldn't dare?" the little black girl took a step forward.
The man opened his arms, as if to open his arms to heaven and welcome the last moments of his life.
The yellow knife was retracted at the moment of stabbing, and the little black girl really couldn't do it, she whispered behind the man: "Please, give me the ring, let me scrape together enough money as soon as possible, otherwise you and I will both die tonight." ”
"Oh, I see. "The man was a little wooden and indifferent.
The little black girl was really anxious, and said: "Listen stupid, there are five Night-Clan people behind me, each of them is a demon who kills people without blinking, if I can't get them that thing tonight, these bastards will tear me apart and eat me, I'm only nineteen years old, and I don't want to die in this stupid night, so, help me, okay? Don't force me to be a murderer!"
The man glanced at the time, and the AI cops patrolling in another ten minutes would pass by. No wonder this little black girl is in such a hurry. The ring wouldn't be given to her anyway, so I'll have to find another way to solve this matter. His hands suddenly clenched into fists. At that moment, a strange cry came from the depths of the night, like a cat that was deeper and more coherent, purring like the old subwoofer that had been popular all those years ago.
The man let go of his clenched fist, lifted the shopping bag on the ground, and said, "Let's go, the people you said won't come to trouble us again." After saying that, he turned around and left.
In the depths of the shadows, the blue light flickered for a moment, and several night clans instantly turned into powder and dissipated without a trace. A yellow background with black stripes on the forehead of the king character, walking majestic, but the body is only the size of an ordinary kitten, the alien beast paced out. In the darkness behind it, two women stood side by side and watched in silence. Qingli Xiumei asked softly, "Mother An, are we just looking at it like this?"
