The body is the vessel of the soul. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Vessels without a soul can be easily identified, but conversely, souls without a body can be easily blinded.

Every Migrant, who has undergone at least one "homecoming" visit, is armed and fearful to return to places where they once knew and are now unrecognizable, climb over railings, through windows, meet the people they want to see, and lock the doors for them. Of course, they will not see their "cocoon" anywhere, because their flesh has "migrated" to the sub-chasm.

That's how it should be.

Ritsuki provided me with a very different answer, saying that the cocoons of the immigrants in the inter-Asian space should have been collected in a specific place, which was not necessarily the idea of the children of the abyss, but they must be the executors.

It's fair that the Son of Shenyuan knows the location of everyone's body, but he can't find the exact location of his own body. I'd love to trust Liyue, but I can't assess the cost of that trust. This man who sits cross-legged on the ground and still keeps his upper body straight, his gestures are arrogant, but they hide his habitual humility, and as "the last human on earth", his attitude is always too detached to make me feel real.

"I'm their heart disease, the only person on earth who has their handle, if it were you, what would I do to me?"

"I'm not going to do this kind of thing like a villain."

He has a lot of questions, maybe that's how he tested me. We don't trust each other, and we both feel each other's distrust of us, but even so we are trying to push the conversation forward, and perhaps the biggest difference between us and politicians is that neither of us wants to disguise their trust in the other side. I don't think about it that much when I ask questions anyway.

"I have a question, can't they track down the location of this place through that contact device of yours?"

"No, when the Poma people first made this device, they shielded it to avoid revealing their own location."

"So the next question, why can you live until now and not be cocooned?"

Li Yue pointed to the capsule-like cabin in the corner of the room, "I was the gatekeeper who was specially left here by Swenson, of course I have done some special treatment. Cocooning is an instantaneous phenomenon, and as long as I avoid that point in time, I won't cocoon again. ”

I'm skeptical of his claims, because it's incredible that ordinary humans have survived to this point, but I have more issues to focus on right now.

"So now that you brought me here and told so much inside story, what are your plans?"

"No, that's what I should ask you. The place you just came out, if nothing else, is the Abyss, after discovering the Abyss, the Puma Star people will definitely ask you to deal with it, and after the treatment, your life in the sub-gap will be over, the cocoon will be lifted, and everything will return to the original state. Such an ending, not only Swenson doesn't want to see it, but the son of Shenyuan shouldn't want to see it either. I suspect that the current mode of action of the Children of the Abyss is the same as Swenson's original plan, the goal is still to achieve human evolution, but since they can do it themselves, there is naturally no need to wake up Swenson. ”

"The thinking pattern of the son of the abyss is really the same as that crazy old man."

"That's right, so if there's a big event like the discovery of the Abyss, they'll definitely find a way to get through. What's next for you? Do you want to help them encircle and suppress me, or do you help me hide from them? If you choose the latter, we're going to have a partnership. ”

"You're pulling me into the gang so soon?"

"I do need companions. Of course, the more companions the better," he began to bow his head and think about it, "This matter must not be told to the Sons of the Abyss, that is, the first humans to enter the Asian Rift, and neither can the Puma Star people...... The ideal state is to pull the Van Xi people into the gang. ”

"What's the reason for pulling them in?"

"It's up to you. Do you want to stay in the Gap? Or return the earth to its original state? ”

I don't know how to answer. "What about your own purpose?"

"I have no purpose." He replied in a dignified manner. "My job is just to protect this place from destruction, and then help that group of scientists go to space, and when I think it's difficult for one person to do my job, I need to find someone to help. As compensation, I try to do what the collaborator wants to do. ”

I was curious to see what he could do, and I couldn't think of anything I needed him to do.

"Suppose I'm willing to help you, in the form of covering the place where you are from being discovered?"

"No, you need me to study it."

"Research?"

"Since the son of Shenyuan is unwilling to find a formula, then I can only come by myself."

It's unreasonable, does he think that I will happily agree to such a condition?

"Don't worry too much, it's just some basic data analysis and personality analysis, it won't cause any harm to your person, of course, if possible, I also hope that you can bring me more data on the second batch of immigrants in other Asian gaps."

"Wait, if I come in and out of here a lot or contact you a lot, doesn't that increase your chances of being discovered?"

He shook his head.

"Think about it from the beginning. Now that you've discovered the 'Abyss', what do you think Team 1 will do next? ”

I hate being thrown at such a complicated issue all of a sudden.

"The known conditions are not enough, and I don't know if this 'abyss' can be closed by the humans in the sub-chasm."

"The humans of the sub-gaps, even the Palma people, don't know this."

"Didn't the Poma people send those creatures inside the door in the first place?"

"That's true, but there were no creatures on Earth that they needed to keep, so if they were to be shut down again, humans would be locked in, and that's why you 'new immigrants' existed. Of course, if they judge that the situation on the earth is irreparable, they should find another planet with a similar environment to the earth, so that the human race can continue to reproduce. If they haven't done so far, it means that the time has not yet come. ”

"Then, the first team may use the excuse of 'finding a way to close the abyss' to stall for time."

"Yes, but procrastination does not mean inaction."

"You mean, we're going to investigate this place more often in the future?"

"And it will keep failing."

"-until the Purma people decide they need to suspend this project?"

"No, this plan will definitely not be suspended. The Son of God will only delay as much time as possible in the process of repeating failures, looking for this place and a way to achieve technological evolution. ”

"Whether it's the old man you are talking about, or the so-called son of Shenyuan, to what extent do you want human technology to evolve?"

"You'll have to ask them personally, but I think maybe they're just trying to be gods."

"Eternal life? Omnipotent? Domination over mortals? ”

"That's pretty much it." Judging from the expression on Liyue's face, he didn't agree with this kind of value very much.

"Eternal life is good, and if I have a choice, I will choose eternal life too."

"You don't understand the horror of eternal life, eternal life is a lonely thing." He spoke as if he understood.

"Loneliness has nothing to do with the length of life, so many ordinary humans don't shout all day long that they feel lonely? If you think you're lonely in eternal life, wouldn't it be nice to go to someone else who is also immortal? But if you find someone you really hate, and he's immortal, that's really—"

A shrill alarm bell suddenly rang throughout the room, mercilessly interrupting my infinite reverie for eternal life, and I was so frightened that I was thrilled.

"There's a creature approaching, it could be your teammates coming for you."

"As soon as I turn around now, I can go to my teammates and complain, and then come to encircle you." I stood up.

"As I said, this is a 'non-existent place' for your bionails, and even if they were standing on this land, they would not be able to find any traces of it. And this institute can be moved, even if you want to bring someone with you, it won't be difficult for me to move it to a place where you can't find it. ”

Ritsuki led me outside, returning the same way to the entrance of the building - the scene outside was completely different from when he brought me here, the "science station" was indeed moving.

"The next time you come back, just wait at the place you just came out, and I'll pick you up."

"I didn't say I would help you."

I shook my hair and strode out of the underground lab, pretending as much as I could that I didn't plan to return. After ten steps away, I cautiously turned around and found that there was nothing behind me. Now, even if my teammates show up, it's not convenient to explain to them where I'm going, so it might be better to go back first. I can leave the complex questions back to the gap and think slowly, although there is another problem waiting for me over there.

When I pressed the forced return button and opened my eyes again, I was already lying in the sleep pod.

I used to think it was the speed at which my body moved, but now I estimate it to be the speed at which my soul moves.

Pushing open the sleeping pod door, a scene suddenly rushed into my sleepy eyes.

Burning eyes, clasped hands, soft words, obsession as if no one else was around, and that smile sparkled with light.

The first time I saw him laugh, it turned out to be in such a situation.

I smell the sweet smell of other people's love before it begins, and the sound of my love budding and withering.

I don't think it's time for me to come back.
