Chapter 22: Infernal Affairs
When Song Que told one of the evil secrets of this world in a straightforward tone, Tang Xian had already returned to the Thirty-Nine Fortress.
He sat in a corner of an open-air café as Don Quixote, watching the people come and go, watching the horror on everyone's faces.
It's not too hard to accept. The Knights of Judgment are only now available.
But similar things have never stopped since ancient times. Human beings' dedication to self-research and transformation, and their desire to accelerate the process of evolution, have always been pathological at the expense of destroying themselves.
In some ways, the Knights of Judgment confirm this.
The lords were the most nervous than the pyramid dwellers, who were still a little unaware of the blow on the head and were too hard to notice it immediately.
They were amazed by the production process of the Knights of Judgment, but they also had a guess in their hearts. But what really made them unbelievable was that the lord who lived in the pyramid would have the will to fight against the pyramid.
The coffee is a little cold.
Tang Xian looked at the electronic eye not far away, and then looked at the phone booth on the opposite street.
His expression is always calm.
He never thought that just relying on himself and Song Que could wake people up.
It can make people realize that for hundreds of years, the place where they lived was just a cage.
For example, one day, people will discover that there really is a tower in this world that leads to the place where God is, and people will not immediately accept that there is a god in this world.
The most real possibility is to impose a reasonable explanation for these various irrational situations.
Song Que shook out the truth, and then what? You don't really say goodbye to the pyramid.
The lords will also come up with various reasons to appease the people in the future, and these reasons will inevitably be high-sounding and wrapped in the cloak of justice.
And everyone has lived here for hundreds of years, and such a habit is difficult to change by the truth of the Judge Knight.
I asked Song Que to make it, but it was just an appetizer.
It is still a little early for a large number of human beings to migrate from Baichuan City and directly turn a new page of human civilization.
The real purpose is to attract a few people.
The phone booth phone rang suddenly.
At the same time, TV towers in various parts of the world have been forcibly interrupted.
Tang Xian looked at the time, and it was less than twenty-five minutes before and after.
"It's efficient."
He muttered softly, then stood up and stepped into the phone booth.
In fact, as early as the 21st century, after mobile phones became a must-have item owned by all mankind, phone booths were eliminated.
But as an iconic building, and people's remembrance of antiquity, this functional architecture is still there, and not just for viewing.
The moment he picked up the phone, Tang Xian heard Konstantin's complaint:
"You've gone too far, you, we don't know much about the forces of order now, just like a machine, if it encounters a certain virus, there will inevitably be countermeasures, and the most intense is the system reinstallation. You're asking your people to do things as if they're planting a virus that goes against the underlying code.
Aren't you afraid that there will really be something we don't know to wipe us out? ”
Tang Xian smiled and said:
"Jumang and Ganesa are dead."
"I know this, how did you do it?"
"It's hard to talk on the phone, but I guess you're not the only one interested in it. Sirens, Ouranos, want to know too, right? ”
"The one who forcibly interrupted all the fortress playback equipment was the sirens.
He is in charge of many of the world's entertainment and media industries.
What you're doing, there's no point in it. They may be able to enlighten humanity, but as long as they don't leave the pyramids, the sirens will soon be able to bring these things back to square one after you die. ”
Tang Xian didn't deny it, touched his nose and said:
"But I'm not dead, and they should want me dead. After all, this matter is a formal declaration of war on them? ”
"Yes, as early as when the people you arranged for Li Wanye to be compared, the sirens had already planned to deal with you.
He and Ouranos have already reached a cooperation, Kang ...... Tang Xian, I'm here to tell you about this this time, you don't have much chance of winning. You don't understand the power of the sirens. ”
"Is it more powerful than Jumang?"
"This ...... It's hard to say, are you sure you can't tell me the details? That woman was very troublesome, how did she die? ”
Konstantin was still curious about how Tang Xian had killed Ju Mang and Ganesa so easily.
"Jumang and Ganesa are dead, and you sound happy."
"Yes. Ju Mang doubted me all the time, I didn't like her very much. ”
"She has little tiger teeth, no wonder." Tang Xian jumped out coldly.
This brainless remark made Konstantin not even understand:
"Little Tiger Tooth?"
"Huya hurt Ding, your name is Konstantin, so it's normal for the two of you to be wrong."
Konstantin on the other end of the phone had a speechless expression:
"You're really not very good at telling bad jokes."
"Although she is troublesome, she is still a human being, and she can't live like she has gone to the beginning. Anyway, now I just need to focus on dealing with the sirens, right? ”
Tang Xian's tone was still the same, as if killing Ju Mang was just a matter of course.
This indifferent tone made Konstantin feel the need to remind Tang Xian:
"That being said, but without Ganesha, both the Bronze and Silver Judges would be under the control of the Sirens.
He is now the only one who can control the Judgment Knights, especially now that the Judgment Knights are scattered all over the world. ”
Tang Xian nodded and said:
"So it's time for a decisive battle, and besides the Sirens, there's also a Ouranos, and I need you to help me. I'm not sure I'll kill the two Children of Order. ”
"You call this kind of thing unsure? I thought you were prepared, after all, you tore two of your peers apart not long ago. ”
"It's not the same thing to be proactive and passive to meet the enemy. You're supposed to be here to tell me about it today, right? ”
"Yes, I have to be a useful overseer, or it will be difficult to avoid being suspected by the Sirens, so you don't have much time. Because every once in a while, I have to shake out some of your secrets. Konstantin smiled wryly.
"You seem to be having fun."
"No, if I can get rid of the Sirens and Ouranos, it will be good for me. I promise to come and help you. At least when it comes to restraining the Judgment Knights, my metal control ability can make a big difference.
But Sirens and Ouranos have to be solved by yourself, and it is best not to involve all beasts, otherwise you will probably not like that scene. ”
Tang Xian heard Konstantin's words and said:
"It seems that he has a lot of hostages in his hands. My buddy is safe, so it's supposed to be a normal pyramid citizen? ”
"Wise, the sirens are on the third floor of the Thirty-Nine Fortresses. Six hundred and sixty-nine school districts. In total, more than 700 Knights of Judgment have surrounded the school district. It is considered a tiger's den in Longtan, waiting for you to go to the banquet alone. ”
Konstantin paused slightly, and the tone of the whole person was extremely solemn:
"Don't do it again after the last dragon attack. I must tell you that there are a lot of people in the third layer, and they are all hostages, most of them children between the ages of twelve and eighteen.
As for you, I can be sure that you are no longer the dead kid you used to be so ruthless that you can even deceive yourself. I guess you don't care about the lives of those school district kids, do you? ”
Tang Xian suddenly said:
"You're also a comrade-in-arms, can I give you a human name?"
"Human names?"
"Whether it's Constantine or Prometheus, it's all awkward."
The topic is a bit blunt.
Konstantin says:
"Seriously, I'm helping you analyze it right now."
"No analysis. I will save the people of the third layer and follow their rules. "Tang Xian is very straightforward and decisive.
"Tut-tut, that's why you have to provoke them in a hurry, so why do you have to provoke them all over the world, the world is full of sirens and ouranos? Or am I just the life of the hole cards? ”
"So you should have a name, and when you die, I can write a human name on the tombstone for you."
The corners of Konstantin's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and sighed:
"And what should I be called?"
"Kang Xiaoding."
“…… You still call me Konstantin. Konstantin resisted the urge to curse.
Tang Xian didn't insist.
After a few seconds of silence together, Konstantin said:
"It's noon a day later, and both the Sirens and Ouranos will be present, along with hundreds of Knights of Judgment. I'll use my abilities to buy you time while the Knight of Judgment is driven, that's it? ”
"Okay."
"It's expensive, see you tomorrow."
Konstantin hung up the phone.
Tang Xian frowned, and said in his heart that this person always robbed himself of his lines.
……
……
A day is not a long time.
In this short day, Tang Xian didn't do anything important.
It's just dangling in the pyramid.
He was honest and did his duty, and he didn't contact any of his teammates.
The Knights of Judgment are the only mechanical beings that can restrain the power of Eden.
He knew he was going to face a big challenge this time, but he didn't seem to be worried at all.
In fact, looking at the way these people came and went, Tang Xian felt that the words Armageddon probably underestimated the orderly, or overestimated the siren Ouranos and others.
Just a few days ago, he was thinking about a question.
How have the Orderists ensured that the Children of Order were so obedient for hundreds of years?
If it has no will of its own and is only a machine, then is it not the child of order who rules over mankind?
How can its creators ensure that this process runs smoothly?
Why were his parents and himself able to leave the throne so smoothly?
No child of order had ever doubted any of this before?
This bunch of questions, the dark green hair with small tiger teeth, actually has its own opinions.
Tang Xian was a little regretful.
Whether it is the sirens, Xi He, or Ouranos, etc., they are all very good people.
In the history of mankind, there are many such existences, but unfortunately they have never really seen that sky.
Just like the one Li Xiaoyu did when he was a child.
She arranged for people to fly through the flying vehicle until the machine seemed to have entered the mining world, and suddenly all the power failed.
Then the fall began.
No one knows what the top of the pyramid is.
But perhaps...... There have been some very good people who have done something similar.
There are still many puzzles in the world.
The children of order are just a few big ones in the ant colony.
Their lives and deaths, or even the change in the perception of the people inside the pyramid, may not be able to threaten the pyramid at its root.
……
The turmoil did not subside, and some people gradually made trouble in various places.
The matter of judging the knights, many people need to give an explanation.
The people who lost their loved ones were in pain, but most of them were just low-level mine slaves, and there seemed to be no essential difference between dying in the mines and living as knights of judgment.
This is the world's ingrained culture of licking wounds.
Everything was like what Tang Xian expected, people were indignant and shocked.
But life should be passed in the end.
The bigwigs vied to speak, standing in line with Song Que, showing that they did not know the production process of the Judge Knights.
The Li family naturally became the backstabbing man of the order, an outlet for anger.
At the entrance to the passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, a large number of residents gathered.
But Tang Xian believed that in a few days, this matter would be suppressed.
……
……
The next day at noon. Thirty-Nine Fort Third Floor, Six Hundred and Sixty-Nine School District.
The school district happens to have no classes today, but as usual, there should still be a lot of teachers and students coming and going.
Yesterday, Song Que brought a huge topic, although it affected the students and teachers. But it doesn't change their lives.
Today's silence seems unusual.
The sense of smell has become an illusory ability in Tang Xian.
Everything is as Konstantin said, today's 669 school district is a real Longtan tiger's den.
And it was worse than he expected.
Tang Xian was not in a hurry, his steps were not hurried or slow, and his face was a little helpless.
Passing through the school district's gate and main road, he slowly walked towards the widest artificial lake.
The first person he saw here was Konstantin, which was different from the meeting he had agreed with Konstantin.
What Konstantin will look like twenty years later, Tang Xian doesn't know, but Konstantin knows Tang Xian.
He was dressed in a red trench coat, short milky white hair, and his expression revealed a ruffian. His temperament today is also very different from when he observed the world in the Overseer's House. It seems like he could pull out an electric guitar and start a jam session at any moment.
There are two more people by Konstantin's side, and Tang Xian, these two people, know a little bit, because Konstantin's statement was very accurate before.
The siren is a male with a charming appearance. Ouranos is hideous and rugged.
The two were one on the left and one on the right, with Konstantin at the back of the middle.
The most numbing thing is the dense Knights of Judgment around me.
They were all around, and when Tang Xian stepped into this school district and walked in front of the three of them, he was already locked by countless rays of exhaustion.
Their eyes flashed red, and they entered the highest state of alert, just like when Tang Xian first saw these machines.
The four of them confronted each other like this, Konstantin did not stand on Tang Xian's side, he was still in the direction of the sirens and Ouranos.
After a long time, Tang Xian frowned and said with some sadness:
"So that's your choice. So you're not here to help me today. No wonder your first target was Ganesha, because he died so that you and the Sirens could truly take control of the army. It turns out that I was calculated by you. ”
Siren and Ouranos looked at Tang Xian's surprised expression, as if they had returned to the good childhood days when they bullied No. 7 together.
Konstantin touched his nose and chuckled:
"It's my honor to be able to lie to you, and I've never been so happy in the past twenty years as I am today."
Tang Xian sighed:
"Why?"
"Because you made me feel like I was just a substitute.
But fortunately, this is the way this world is, if it is false, it becomes true. And you, the real boss, will become a fake. ”
When your hole cards disappear and even become the opponent's chips, the danger of this battle instantly changes from a little certainty to a life of death.
Seven hundred Knights of Judgment capable of dealing with the power of Eden, plus two powerful Children of Order, have made the battle extremely suspenseful.
But the real killer move was Konstantin's rebellion.
Tang Xian felt that the people outside the school district were coming and going, everything was as usual, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
How many big events happen without people knowing?
His expression became solemn, because this time, he really felt the danger, but Tang Xian still didn't show a panicked look.
He said a little lonely:
"Actually, I'll tell you the truth, I also have a lot of experience in pretending to be the boss. It's a pity that you and I have different positions, and we can't exchange ideas like friends. ”
Konstantin was slightly puzzled. Tang Xian seemed to be too calm. His own rebellion should be the most fatal blow to him.
But it looks ...... Tang Xian was just a little sad, but he was not shocked.
"Actually, I really thought that if you leave the throne in the future, you will live some leisure days like me, you can call Kang Xiaoding a very, and even if you really help me in this battle, I can call you Tang Xiaoding. I don't usually give people this surname, it's my own meaning. ”
Tang Xian's tone was quite helpless.
No one noticed that after his words fell, the vines of plants slowly climbed up on the outer wall of the school building in the school district not far away, as if they suddenly came to life.
A dark green flower, quietly blooming.
