Chapter 88
Since the end of the world, people have probably not seen such a large scale of fire rise into the sky as today—from the headquarters to the frost swamp, a belt of flames spanning about a street illuminates the entire sky as if it were day, tall trees let out terrible groans and fall one after another, and the roar of wild beasts faintly seems to be heard from the tall buildings in the sea of fire, but no one can say if it was just their ears hallucinating......
In the headquarters building, a slender young man sat by a window surrounded by climbing vines, staring blankly at the fallen tree branches, the glow of the fire shining on half of his face, while the other side of his body was completely hidden in shadow.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Behind him, Lilith sat on the bed fiddling with her doll, humming out of tune "Where have you been, where did that nasty number six hide you, will you not have enough to eat, will you not be warm, will you be thinking about me......
In the midst of the song, Fu Shen squinted his eyes slightly, his empty gaze seemed to have a focal length, and he stared at the black shadow that swept by somewhere in the sea of fire for a while, and just as he wondered what it was, he suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet.
………… Probably someone is smashing things in a rage.
Pulling his attention back, the cocoon god found that the dark shadow flying in the flames was gone.
“……”
Forget it, it's probably a waste that was burned to ashes and lifted into the air by the heat stream.
Pouting, he snapped off a branch of the climbing vine beside him, pinched it in his hand and aimed not far away—when the milky white mist shrouded the branch, he threw it out by throwing a paper-folded airplane......
The moment the branch broke away from his hand, the white light that surrounded it was great, and it dragged its long tail like a meteor falling from the sky, flying in the direction of the sea of fire—the next second it disappeared into the sea of fire, a huge popping sound sounded in the place where the branch disappeared! There was a commotion on the viscous surface of the frost swamp, and something was frightened and fled frantically under the swamp, and at the same time, the dozens of floors of the commercial building in the corresponding position collapsed!
“…… Calamity. ”
The cocoon god smiled and whispered, his tone slightly mocking, not knowing if he was simply saying that the branch was like a meteor called a broom star in ancient times, or if he was talking about something else.
At this time, the five-tone incomplete and strangely toned singing behind him also came to an abrupt end.
The cocoon moved: "Lilith? ”
"Brother!"
"Why don't you sing?"
"......," Lilith listened for a moment and said to the black-haired young man sitting by the window, "brother, do you hear me?" "What?"
"Number Six has a big fire downstairs."
"Oh."
"Do you want to lock the door? I think he's going to come up to you in a moment—"
Before Lilith's words fell, the door of the cocoon's room was kicked open from the outside, and the metal door was kicked and fell directly out of the door frame with a thud - the little girl sitting on the bed screamed and reflexively raised the doll in her hand to cover her face.
The god of cocoon paused, and without hurry, he withdrew his gaze from the sea of fire not far away, and glanced at the deformed door on the ground that had been kicked...... Without calculating what kind of strange force it would take to kick the heavy metal gate like this, he said to the man blocking the door in a calm tone: "The windows are also broken, the doors are also broken, the convection wind at night, it has been raining for the past two days, and it is wet everywhere, do you want to make me rheumatism?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the man who was standing at the door had already walked in quickly.
It was as if there was a flame of anger under his feet.
Then, presumably before the person in the window had time to react, he dragged the person sitting on the windowsill down - in the dark room, his heavy breathing overwhelmed the loud noise of the burning building outside the window, and he waved his hand lightly as if he were throwing some weightless cotton filler in the direction of the bed, and with a loud bang, the bed collapsed, and the subject who had been sitting on the bed let out a short scream again!
Raising her head and staring at the pair of eyes that were the same color as herself, Lilith shuddered, turned her head to look at the god who was deep in the ruins of the bed, and whispered "brother".
"Get out." Enoche's voice was low and menacing.
Lilith jerked back into her hand to touch the cocoon.
Under her worried gaze, the black-haired young man sat up slowly, he wiped the corner of his lips and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and his voice was still gentle when he spoke: "Lilith, you go out first." ”
Lilith looked at the cocoon as if he had gone mad, as if to say, "What if I leave, and Subject Six goes crazy and kills you?"
At this time, her hesitation was completely seen by Enoch.
The burning anger in my heart burned even more vigorously for some reason.
"Even if you're here, you can't stop what I want to do," the man's gaze sank, "Do you want to try?" ”
Fu Shen stretched out his hand and pushed Lilith: "Go out first, forget what you promised me before you came?" ”
Do not clash head-on with the sixth, and coexist peacefully. Lilith pursed her lower lip, glared at Six viciously, threw down the sentence "I'd like to try", stood up and shook the dust from her skirt and held up the zài, grabbed her doll, and walked out of the room with her head held high.
The god of cocos saw a few strands of black light silk behind Enoch quickly surround the door that had fallen to the ground, and the moment Lilith walked out of the door, the door to the end stood up, and then "banged" as if it was pulled by a great force and hit the door frame!
"Whisper and remember to close the door."
Amid the sound of the wall shattering, Lilith's disgruntled voice came from outside the door.
"Alright, Lilith is gone, what do you want me to have-"
The god of cocoon got up from the ruins of the bed, and before he could finish his words, he was knocked over and fell down again with a punch!
The fist came quickly and hard and grabbed his blind vision blind corner so that he could not avoid it, the cocoon coughed violently twice, and simply gave up struggling, when he felt a tall body pressing up and pressing him hard, he simply gave up struggling: "What the hell is wrong?" ”
"You know that every decision you make is wrong." In the darkness, the man's voice sounded, sounding dry and hoarse, "Why do you want to do this?" ”
"But no matter what, there should always be a right choice," said the god, "and it was because I was worried about that, so I left the choice to everyone in the headquarters building...... You can see the results of the vote, I can't do anything from it or set it on fire, it's the consensus of most people. ”
Fu Shen said, stretched out his hand and tried to push away the person who was pressing on him, and after finding that the other party was different, he sighed: "Do you have to maintain this posture to speak?" ”
Enochie, of course, ignored him, maintaining this posture of completely comfortable restraint to the people under him, and the hand he pressed on the shoulder of the cocoon god even increased its strength, and when the person below him let out a muffled grunt and frowned slightly from the pain, he did not weaken this strength.
The man's voice sounded from a condescending direction-
"I told you before to stay away from those new species, and it's even better not to get their attention, do you think I'm joking? Or are you purely provoking me? After I said such words, you set a fire and vigorously announced the existence of mankind......"
As he spoke, he felt a burst of fire in his chest, and stretched out his hand to pat the cheek of the person under him: "Answer." ”
Under the urging gaze of the other party, Fu Shen raised his hand and rubbed his cheek, which was numb by his slap.
"Enochie, you are a test subject, and you probably don't understand the fear of human beings about this experience after being shrouded in the shadow of hunger," the cocoon god replied in a calm voice after looking into the man's eyes, "and finally there is a fresh source of food, and if you want them to return to such a shadow because of some unproven ecological theory, no one will agree." ”
Enochie's chest heaved violently.
For a moment, he looked like he wanted to strangle the cocoon.
"So when you came up with this idea, you never thought it wouldn't be adopted, right?"
“…… I'm just following the will of the people. The god of cocos pushed Enoch again, this time with both hands, successfully pushed the man away, he got up from the ground, patted the dust behind his back and tidied up his cuffs, "If I don't say it, there will be others who say that it will be a matter of time before the earthworm is driven out of the human life circle." ”
Enoch kicked away the shards of the bed in front of him, and spat, "Crazy people, you are asking for your own suffering." ”
"There is no need to say such alarmist words, we are burning the nests of amphibians, which are only a threat to humans in the water, and on land far from the water source, they move slowly, and they cannot be a match for humans in any case." The cocoon reached out and patted the head of the man sitting in the ruins of the bed, as if to soothe a large manic dog, "So, you're really worried." ”
Enochie slapped his hand away with a dark face.
Fu Shen raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked back, squatted down in front of the man, turned his face slightly to look at him, hooked the corners of his lips and asked with a smile, "Are you so angry?" Even if there are really small casualties caused by this, it is necessary if it can be exchanged for huge benefits, and people must not go hungry to death-"
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped in the face. "Get out of here." The man's irritable voice sounded, "I'm angry when I see you, why don't you pee and take a look at yourself, see what you look like now." ”
Fu Shen rubbed his face with the back of his hand and asked casually, "What does it look like?" ”
"- Even if it is a small casualty, if it can be exchanged for a huge benefit, then it is necessary - small casualty? Well? How small? ”
“……”
Enoch raised his eyes, and he looked at the god with those cold red eyes that did not contain any emotion at all, but were cold: "Friggia, do you know that you are becoming what you were most afraid of what you would become. ”
The god was stunned.
After a moment, the smile on his face narrowed slightly.
He turned slightly, allowing himself to face Enochet.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, the corners of his lips recurled, and he said in a voice that did not waver in the slightest, "If that is the case, then I can only say that what was—I think—I am afraid—is only a small part of the many mistakes I have made. ”
“……”
"To this day, I don't regret any of the decisions I made."
"What?"
"I don't need the ability to go back in time anymore."
“……”
"Sixth, one day I suddenly figured out a truth: the ability to go back in time should not be a regret medicine that I enjoy alone, it should belong to all human beings who have been abandoned in this world."
The smile remained the same, he stretched out his hand, lightly touched the man's thin lips that were pursed because of anger, and said in a light and breezy tone-
"Once you drink Meng Po soup, you will forget all the sufferings of the past, and all living beings will return to peace."
