Roman Holiday Chapter 66 Before the Imbalance
It was not yet deep at night, and the street was still full of traffic, Gu Lichuan walked on the street and remained silent. Silver Pupil followed behind him, silent.
The streets are wide, but the movement of vehicles is slow and often stagnant. Loud horns came and went. In order to ensure the construction of green space, half of the originally spacious sidewalks above the curbstone are occupied by green holly, and the slightly taller woody plants standing in the holly are lined up between the road and the sidewalk, blocking the scene of the street tightly. In order to prevent trespassing, the greenery is blocked by iron fences. As a result, pedestrians, who were barely able to come and go smoothly, were crowded together.
Most people have no expression on their faces, after all, they have lived for a long time and are used to it. I'm going to keep getting used to it in the future. No matter what it becomes, they have to endure it, their parents live here this way, and their children will continue to live here like this.
"Look, it's so crowded on the streets, isn't it good to stay at home? The silver pupil floated in mid-air, watching Gu Lechuan shuttle between pedestrians.
"It's easier to come out and walk," Gu Lichuan answered his question, turning his shoulders sideways through the crowd, "It won't be so crowded after a while." β
Suddenly, he tripped over an unknown piece of metal that was protruding from the ground under his feet, and the whole person threw himself forward.
Fortunately, there was a figure in front of him blocking the route he fell, so Gu Lichuan's head hit the back of the person in front of him.
The person in front seemed to be taken aback, and turned to look at Gu Lichuan.
It was a very easy-going looking man, taller than Gu Lichuan, his whole body looked very thin, and his face was a little pale. Unlike Gu Lichuan, whose hair was slightly yellow, his hair was of a very dark type, which was in stark contrast to his slightly pale face. But his eyes were very good-looking, and what came out of them was a gentle gaze. He had a cup of coffee in his hand, the kind brought out of the shop that was clasped by the lid to reveal only a small sip.
"I'm sorry," Gu Lichuan folded his hands together and made a very sorry expression, "I was tripped up." β
The man who turned his face did not have the slightest anger, he listened to Gu Lichuan's explanation quietly, and did not care at all about the spilled coffee and the eyes of the pedestrians around him who were blocked.
"Nothing," the man began, "there are already a lot of people on this street. β
The man's voice was very soft, and listening to his words, Gu Lichuan's eyes flashed with the appearance of a white fox. If it's like it, it must be the type of white fox.
With that, the man turned to leave.
Gu Lichuan let out a long breath and patted his chest.
When I looked up again, the scenery suddenly changed to a suffocating levelβthe streets were empty, the shops were in ruins, and the sky and moonlight turned bright red. Blood flowed, converging into rivers on the side of the street, countless stumps and severed arms, mixed with expressions of fear, slowly floating, and the man walked among them, his dark back slowly melting into the dark red background.
The view in front of you is hell.
A headache came up, Gu Lichuan took a step back and pressed his forehead hard. He felt the blood vessels on his forehead beating slowly, and the power of the silver pupil instinctively spread out from his left eye.
"Are you alright?" the man's voice came, and Gu Lichuan followed the sound with difficulty.
The scenery just now is gone, the street is still the street, and the night sky is still the night sky.
"Can you see it?" Seeing that Gu Lichuan was silent, the man asked again.
The headache became more and more intense, from a looming hallucination to a real feeling, Gu Lichuan trembled slightly, staring at the man who was getting closer and closer with slightly vicious eyes.
The signal light behind Gu Lichuan turned red, and after a group of pedestrians walked by, the surroundings became much empty.
At a distance of five meters, the man stopped.
"You can see it," the man who looked at Gu Lichuan made a positive conclusion, "You must be able to see it." β
After saying that, a terrifying smile appeared on the man's face.
Gu Lichuan clenched his fists, he was ready to fight. The man in front of him obviously didn't see any killing intent, but it made people want to escape.
"That's amazing......" said the man, turning around, following the last pedestrian, and disappearing into the street.
Gu Lichuan looked at the back of that person, and didn't know what to do for a while.
"What was that just now?" Gu Lichuan felt that his headache was much better, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and asked Yintong.
"I don't know. β
What I got was an answer that Silver Pupil didn't know what to say.
Gu Lichuan closed his eyes, the headache disappeared, and he reached out and rubbed his head in a cold sweat.
"You probably saw the life he went through, that man, probably came out of hell," Silver Hitomi suddenly said again, "Some people are born to walk in the world with malice. β
"You're right," Gu Lichuan let out a long breath, "it's better to stay at home." β
......
It's a dream.
The young man stood in front of the crowd with his hands wrapped in heavy chains, and was condemned and condemned.
"Oh God, he wasn't burned!"
"He's a demon!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
Why, why. Don't be like this, I'm just an ordinary person.
The boy begged the crowd like this, but no one paid attention. Neighbors, friends, people who used to laugh and talk to them, people who used to be kind to them, now with hatred and cowardice, push themselves to the opposite side.
He looked at the woman in the audience, the woman he trusted the mostβif it was her, he would definitely help him, he would definitely save himself.
The boy thought so, and got a timid look.
So the boy understood what kind of situation he was in now.
For the next three days, the boy was tormented by everything imaginable in the world. He lost his right eye and lost his voice again. He was amazed at the cruelty of the people, and even the weakest children were giving advice on how to kill themselves.
After three days, the boy did not die, but he did not live again.
So people began to understand that if they wanted to kill the demon, they had to kill his heart first. They turned their gaze to another person.
"You're the devil's family, you're a witch!"
"He's not a demon, he's not a demon!" said the blonde girl in her final struggle. Nothing works, and when all people are dominated by the same malice, reason comes to an end.
So, in front of the young man, the butcher's knife aimed at the girl was waved down without the slightest hesitation.
The boy watched the slaughter with one of his remaining eyes, losing his voice, and all the wails could only roar in his own head. The crowd cheered and celebrated the success of the exorcism, and the poor girl's life was as fragile as a piece of paper compared to the teenager.
Kill me, O God. The boy begged for heaven, and for him, death was salvation.
God, if you really exist, why condone such atrocities.
God, if you really exist, why don't you come and save me, save my poor sister.
So, without God, no one will come to save him.
The boy thought so, and the flames naturally flared.
"You, what are you going to do? what are you going to do!"
"Demons!
"God, help us!"
The blazing flames reduced everything in sight to ashes.
The boy burned everything in sight, buildings, streets, livestock, and people.
Finally, the boy stood in front of the woman.
The woman in front of her was not half beautiful, her face was made hideous by fear, the flames burned her skin and hair, like a dying beast, and her throat made a terrible sound.
"Why," the fire in the boy's hand grew brighter and brighter, "and told them why. Why don't you go and save my sister. β
The woman stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve. In an instant, flames crept up the woman's body along the hand.
The skin was reduced to ashes in the flames, and the muscles began to carbonize.
"I curse you. β
The woman's eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to protrude, and the hand she tugged at the sleeve of her coat was dead.
The flames seemed to pour into her mouth in an instant, and a suffocating, pungent smell came through the air.
"Remember the way I look," the woman spoke more and more slowly, her hair disappeared, and her face began to show white bones, "all the people who accompany you are destined to be this ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the flames peeled away the muscles from her face, her arms turned to bone, and even the eyes that stared at the boy were already shriveled.
In just a few seconds, the woman turned to ashes.
The surrounding flames burned silently, making a "crackling" sound from time to time.
The boy understood her words, and all those who accompanied him were destined to end up like this.
Xingchen opened his eyes and looked at the watch at the head of the bed.
But eleven o'clock.
Time flies so slowly.
Xingchen got up and sat on the edge of the bed, a flame slowly rising in the darkness.
Quietly watching the flame, the stars were silent.
"Boss, the last paperwork has been processed. AndrΓ© pushed open the door with a stack of papers in his arms and walked into the room as he spoke.
"Oh, put it there. Through the hologram, Long Ao said to Andre.
The projection is the battle between the stars and the woman in black. Located in the third-person view, Mu Yi recorded the whole process of the battle with his own scope.
"Look," Long Ao pointed to the position of the woman in black, "the last scene. β
In the picture, the light of the flashbang engulfs the woman in black and the figure of Xingchen. Long Ao stopped the picture, turned the picture with his hand, and turned the figure of the woman in black in his direction.
Andrei stepped forward, and the picture could be said to be very blurry due to the interference of the flashbang. But the two can still be seen faintly.
The next second, she was gone. Long Ao pointed to the picture and said.
It's really weird, and it can disappear without a trace in an instant under the attack of the stars, unless it has an unknown ability.
"Take a closer look. Long Ao pointed to the woman in black again.
At the second when the flashbang exploded, the woman in black threw her right hand, while her left hand reached behind her waist.
"Transfer device?!" exclaimed Andrei.
Long Ao nodded.
"What do you mean......" Andrei's face suddenly became gloomy. Half a month ago, there was a space transfer device in the equipment sent by the Technology Research and Development Bureau, but because it was not 100% successful at that time, Long Ao did not let this device be put into use. But the white fox still secretly used this thing to transport back Gu Lichuan and Ying Lan.
"I really don't know of any other country or organization that has this space-jumping technology. Long Ao looked at the image and said expressionlessly.
"Could it be that there is an organization that spies on us?"
"It's just speculation," Long Ao lowered his head and lit a cigarette, "I hope this guess is wrong." β
"By the way," Andre remembered something, and said to Long Ao, "Ying Lan and Gu Lichuan plan to go to Rome. β
"Rome is good. Long Ao nodded and didn't say anything else.
Andrei looked at him: "Is it okay?"
Long Ao smiled nonchalantly.
"What's the problem, for a while, no one will do it. β
"Why do you say that?" asked Andrei.
"As soon as Sharif dies, the balance in betweenness is completely broken," Long Ao exhaled the smoke and pointed at the smoke, "Everyone is waiting in secret, waiting for the first person to stand up after the balance is broken." β
"When the first person comes forward, it's the most lively time. β
Andrei listened quietly.
"You've been working hard lately," Long Ao suddenly said to Andre, "Tell them to rest and rest." β
Andrei frowned: "Is it really okay?"
Long Ao pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, got up and looked at the night sky behind him: "This night is still as beautiful as before, but I don't know what it will become in the future." β
After watching for a while, Andrei heard him still whispering to himself.
"Rome is good......"
