The Crimson Marriage Contract Chapter 93 Turmoil
"Boy, you're going to die. β
"What's wrong? What are you struggling with? Don't you want to die?"
"Hate, repent, struggle, you have to pay for your stupidity and shallowness. β
"What are you talking about? Hmph...... Okay, yes, I can help you, but it's expensive. β
"God? No, I'm not. The so-called gods, haha, are just a bunch of creatures who only dared to be presumptuous after we retreated. β
"With hatred, live well. Let me see how tenacious the so-called 'power of man' really is. β
......
As the human footsteps forward, the gods slowly retreated into the deep valley. We thought there were no gods in this world, because we had mastered a few skillsβwe could move thunder and lightning, we could call for wind and rain, we could make crops grow and bear fruit against the weather. Not only that, but we look outward, inwardβwe go out of the planet, we look for the stars that orbit the sun, we look for the attachment of the mind, down to every unit.
Everywhere we can't find "them". So we thought there was no "them".
What if "they" are avoiding us?
"That kind of thing definitely doesn't exist. Xingchen looked at the book in his hand and said without raising his head.
The white fox sat across from him and stared at him angrily: "Why are you so unimaginative!"
"That kind of thing is just a product of people's thirst for brutal power and their current weapons......" Xingchen turned the page and finally raised his eyes to look at the white fox, "Do you think these things are real?"
The white fox tilted his head: "You are really interesting, haven't we all witnessed the earth-shattering ghosts and gods of Yuehua?"
"That only shows that Moonlight City has a high level of potential technology. β
"Then let's not talk about Moonlight City," White Fox stood up suddenly, "You can explain what your own ability to manipulate fire is all about." β
β......β
Xingchen, who was silent, looked at the white fox as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Long Ao walked in, followed by Andre and Mu Yi, probably just after watching Mu Yi's training. Today is the day when the Technology R&D Bureau sent a new version of the combat robot, but due to the last incident of the thirteenth machine, this time the combat detection has become a little faster - Mu Yi quickly penetrated the core components of the robot in three minutes, and the fourteenth machine hurriedly withdrew without even using the newly upgraded weapon.
"What are you doing that you want to fight in the base?" said Long Ao as he sat down next to Xingchen.
"Boss, I've never seen someone as stubborn as him!" said the white fox, opened the book in his hand, and pointed it to Long Ao: "You see, that's it, I asked Xingchen if he believed in the existence of such a thing, he didn't believe it when he was killed, and he didn't believe it when he was killed." β
Long Ao leaned in and took a look: on the picture was a long sword, presumably the author's imagination, and the word "GRAM" was written at the bottom of the picture.
"Isn't this the Dragon Slaying Sword?" Long Ao smiled, "What? Do you think this kind of thing is real?"
"Of course!" White Fox took back the book, "I think it's necessary for us to search for these legendary artifacts, so that if we encounter something like the 'Moonlight Goddess' in the future, we can directly use a weapon with the 'God Slayer' to cut them, wouldn't it be much more convenient?!"
"Hahahaha, you have a point. Long Ao laughed, "However, until I find any of them, I won't believe they exist." β
"Well, you don't even believe the boss. The white fox shook his head, and looked at Mu Yi and Andre again.
"Don't don't, don't look at me, I believe in the soul, but I'm an orthodox supporter of technology. Mu Yi waved his hand at the white fox.
The white fox glanced at Mu Yi: "One day I will let you all see and understand." β
"But I think...... There is one person who would support the White Fox's opinion. Andrei touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Who?" asked the crowd in unison.
"I've seen it. In the kitchen, Gu Forget wiped the dishes and said to Ying Lan, who was standing aside.
"Really?" Ying Lan handed the cleaned plate in her hand to Gu Lichuan, "When was it?"
Gu Lichuan raised his head and recalled: "When I was about five years old, my dad and I went out for a walk. It was very foggy and overcast, and I followed my father through the intersection and felt that something was watching me, so I looked to the left, and vaguely saw a very large figure standing there, like an unfinished skyscraper, standing motionless. β
Ying Lan's eyes narrowed: "Oh my God, what is that?"
Gu Lichuan shook his head: "I don't know, I just felt fear at the timeβits figure was hidden in the mist, towering, huge, and boundless. β
"And then?"
Then I pulled my dad's sleeve and showed him. β
"Did your father see it?"
"He saw it," Gu Lichuan smiled, "but he didn't seem to be able to see it." β
"Just as he was saying that I had too much imagination and that I should not lie in the future, I saw the figure poking its head out of the clouds, and a pair of bright eyes cast a gloomy light in the mist like searchlights...... I saw the emptiness and nothingness in its indistinct features, and it looked at me as if I were looking at it. After a long time, it raised its head, took its steps, walked forward, and vanished. β
Speaking of this, Gu Lichuan stopped.
"What happened later?" asked Yinglan.
"Later......" Gu Lichuan looked at the silver pupils sitting on the sofa, and Ying Lan looked in his direction, not knowing what he was looking at.
Gu Lichuan laughed: "Later, my friend told me that unfortunate things happen every day in this city, and the resentment expressed by every unfortunate person will produce a black hole figure, and after a long time, it will dissipate by itself." Maybe it's because my city has had too many misfortunes in the past to produce such a huge and terrifying existence, and it won't go away. β
Ying Lan nodded.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Gu Lichuan asked, "After all, a five-year-old child may not even be able to tell the difference between dreams and reality. β
"No," Linger shook her head, "I just think it's scary." β
"Ying Lan, do you believe in the existence of phenomena or creatures that cannot be explained by science?" Gu Lichuan wiped the last plate and placed it on the shelf.
"I believe it," said Ying Lan, stretching out her hand, "Otherwise, what is our special ability?"
"That's right," Gu Lichuan nodded, "People tend to identify with what they have witnessed with their own eyes, but they have deep doubts about things that can be generalized but have not yet been discovered. β
"Maybe that's a good thing," Ying Lan looked at Gu Lichuan's side face, "Knowing too much may lead to danger." β
Gu Lichuan also heard his father say this.
"Is our vacation coming to an end?" Ying Lan followed Gu Lichuan out of the kitchen.
"There are still four days," Gu Lichuan sat down and looked at his phone, "In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two weeks since I came back from Rome." β
After returning from Rome, Gu Lichuan and Yinglan's lives returned to the peace of the holiday, and there were no major fluctuations due to Wuming's intervention. And for the momentous event that took place in Rome, two weeks later, the dust has largely settled. No terrorist organization has been responsible for the incident, and no country, including Italy, has pursued it. Everyone seemed to have chosen silence tacitly.
"I don't know what the white fox is doing. "Haunting Lan curled up on the couch, like a cat, lazy and comfortable.
"Now the white fox may be arguing with Xingchen again. Gu Lichuan smiled, as if he had seen the picture of the white fox being despised by the stars.
"Just tell me, how did you get this ability," the white fox knocked on the table a little anxiously, and as his words rose and fell, the table made a continuous sound of "knock knock", and the atmosphere began to become tense, "As long as you don't talk nonsense with your conscience but tell me from the bottom of your heart and sincerity that it is genetically modified by you, I will admit that there are no myths or gods in this world, and those legends are the ultimate fantasy of people who do not exist at all!"
Xingchen didn't speak, staring at the white fox. This was the first time he had seen a white fox so seriously. Even Long Ao and Andre, who were present, no longer dissuaded. But Xingchen also seems to have his reserve, and in the face of the white fox's questioning, he kept silent, in order to fight against the white fox's cannonballs.
......Seeing that Xingchen didn't speak, the white fox looked at him while panting, and his emotions slowly eased.
"I admit it," Seeing that the white fox was no longer excited, Xingchen nodded, but there was no hint of surrender in his expression, "I admit that my ability is not the product of technology, and I don't know why I have this ability." β
got the desired result, but there was no satisfied expression on the white fox's face. He let out a long breath, and his body relaxed.
"Okay, let's not talk about these useless things," the white fox raised his eyes and looked at the stars, "People like us were not very glorious in the past, and I guess you are not much better." β
Xingchen closed his eyes, as if bowing slightly, but was not noticed by everyone.
"What are you doing!" Finally, the conversation was interrupted by Long Ao's wife, who came unexpectedly.
"Yo, Lady Dragon!" the white fox regained his unbeaten appearance.
Seeing his wife walk in, Long Ao blinked and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Long didn't pay attention to him, but first reached out and grabbed Andre's ear: "What's the matter? Are you lazy here with Long Ao? Don't do your business? Such an important document, send it back and forth, and finally send it to me? I am the head of the medical team and not the secretary, this job is yours, Andre." β
Andre, who was grabbed by the ear, nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what you said is, the small order, the small order." With that, Andrei took the document out of her hand.
But when he finished the papers, his expression became solemn.
"What's wrong?" Long Ao looked at Andre.
"Boss," Andre handed him the papers, "the Transhuman Foundation is disbanded. β
"Huh?" Hearing the news, Long Ao also seemed a little surprised.
"Transhuman Foundation, isn't that an international organization formed by governments, and why did it dissolve?" said the white fox as he walked over to join in the fun.
"They received a mission," Long Ao looked at the documents in his hand, frowning like an old man reading the morning newspaper, "Although the mission was completed, when I returned to the nearest Greenland base to report, some mission members began to have abnormal reactions. β
"The symptoms of the abnormal reaction are fever, syncope, resuscitation after one hour, and then loss of consciousness and indiscriminate attack on living organisms in sight. Although studies have shown that individuals who are harmed do not become infected. But then, this reaction began to spread through some unknown medium, and more and more members began to lose their minds," Andre took Long Ao's words, "In order to stop this phenomenon from continuing, the Foundation's higher-ups locked down the Greenland base and sent the Foundation's strongest members to purge it. β
"I guess I haven't come back yet, right?" Mu Yi sat on the side and listened silently, asking by the way.
Andrei shook his head: "It worked, the members sent successfully cleaned the Greenland base, but there were heavy casualties, and this incident resulted in the death of more than half of the members of the Transhuman Foundation. Due to the drastic loss of personnel and the extremely negative impact on Greenland, the Transhumanism Foundation was disbanded. β
"It's a pity," the white fox shook his head, "although in my eyes they are all ordinary goods, but it's good that there are some unusual people in this world." β
"It's really a bad thing......" Andre shook his head and turned his gaze to Long Ao.
From Long Ao's eyes, Andre only saw four words.
Stand still.
