Chapter 149: The Zeatic
Half an hour later, Li Zhen met Wang Meng, a man who compared himself to Moses.
Li Zhen didn't know if there was such a person in history, or what he was like. However, the moment he saw Wang Meng, he suddenly had a strong feeling—if there really was Moses, it should be like this, right?
Wang Meng, like Zhao Xiu and Sun An, are all new humans, and they are all new humans who look like half-breeds.
When Li Zhen and Rong Shu walked into his room, Wang Meng was reading a book.
He sat behind a desk in a small room, hunched over his desk, and used a pen to mark something on the page. The man is equally tall and has gray hair. This is naturally not because he is too old, but it may be his original hair color - just like Zhao Xiu's blonde hair.
His white hair was untrimmed and hung down from his head, and he had white hair, or beard, at the corners of his lips and chin. This makes him look like Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings, except that his face is not wrinkled, but instead has tiny scales that loom in the face.
Perhaps this man deliberately made his own way in order to bring his temperament closer to that legendary Chosen One.
However, Lee really knew that if the so-called "Moses" really existed, he was more likely to be a species, or a "disciple".
The sound of the door opening startled him, and Wang Meng raised his head, then stood up.
He was dressed in a white robe—not a strong Western-style robe like Gandalf's, but more like a white robe made from an oversized sack, which looked rather rudimentary.
And what he said was, "Here you are." Welcome! ”
This sentence goes from the diction to the tone. No matter how it sounds, it doesn't sound like the words of a member of an organization to a leader. It's more like the status of the two is equal, and Rong Shu came to Wang Meng's "territory" from his own "territory", and the two of them greeted each other quite politely.
Eiki seems to be used to it. He smiled and introduced the two of them, and Li Zhen noticed a flash of surprise in Wang Meng's eyes—the other party obviously knew about himself.
But this surprise was well concealed by him, and he stretched out his broad palm: "Hello, I have admired the name for a long time." ”
Li Zhen shook his hand. But then he told himself...... I don't seem to like this guy very much.
Sun An, who was in the same car before, obviously knew about himself, and he did not hide his surprise and fear of himself at that time. However, the one in front of him seemed to be more powerful than those two people—compared to a new human with a biological age of "four years".
If he had met such a gentle person before, Li Zhen's first impression of him might have been "very good", but he noticed Wang Meng's hanging hand. The little finger of the left hand is gently curled, which is a typical, subconscious defensive stance.
In the case of the first meeting, and there was not much trust between himself and Rongshu, it was normal for Sun An to show fear of himself. However, at this moment, Wang Meng still had such a reaction. This means that the other party is hostile to himself from the beginning of the fight - from the events that he has heard about him.
This shows that the other party does not have a good impression of the person "Li Zhen".
Li Zhen spent a second thinking quietly, not figuring out where such hostility came from. Wang Meng must not like those at the Gate of Truth, and neither does he himself. And other than that. There doesn't seem to be any more contradiction between the two.
But there are many people who don't like him. Li Zhen decided to put the issue aside for the time being. Because Eiki has already talked about business.
In fact, the relationship between Rongshu and Wang Meng seems to be as Li Zhen thought, not a simple superior, but a collaborator. Wang Meng brought thirty-six men. Now they are all in the organization "Fir and Eagle". Judging from the information mentioned in the conversation, the number of people in this organization is roughly around fifty - not much, but they are all extremely powerful.
The problem is that Wang Meng thinks that these people are "new humans" who are different from the "old people", and he has been instilling this view in those thirty-six people. As a result, he is unable to fully accept who he is, and instead stubbornly shows independence in certain areas, such as this attitude towards Eiki.
Eiki acquiesced to him and allowed him to continue to preach among the thirty-six people—Catholic.
This is undoubtedly unwise. When there are two leaders in a group, even if one of them is a spiritual leader, it will inevitably cause unnecessary estrangement and conflict. Another point that Li Zhen is interested in is that since Wang Meng is a self-proclaimed newcomer, why would he still believe in Catholicism? You must know that this thing was made by the "old man".
But Li Zhen quickly found the answers to these two questions.
They were talking about the situation in Murmansk. Li Zhen listened to some of it when Rongshu was talking to the lieutenant colonel, but Rongshu must have had reservations at that time. At this moment, many things came out of Wang Meng's mouth, and Li Zhen had a more intuitive and clear impression of it.
Murmansk was originally a city, and the people of the Gate of Truth arrived there about five years ago. At that time, the barrier had just arrived, and the whole world was in chaos, so it seemed unintentional and powerless about what was happening in the more remote city of Murmansk in remote Siberia.
What the people of the Gate of Truth did at that time was no different from what they had done before - the six-winged "Lucifer" fell from the sky, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city, along with 20,000 soldiers from a nearby military port, were transformed into xenos overnight, leaving behind a large amount of equipment and baggage.
With this equipment, as well as some of the things they brought, the Gate of Truth was built into the Murmansk base camp. Only this time their lair was built on the surface instead of underground, because for a long time, it is impossible for a high-yield strategic nuclear weapon such as "Gale" to fall from the sky in this world.
Wang Meng shouldn't have known so much. However, after his birth, he showed an unusual calmness and a high degree of wisdom, which impressed the people of the Gate of Truth and gave him the opportunity to come into contact with more people and things.
According to him, the "birth" of their group seems to depend on a rather crucial factor, and this key factor was not made by the people of the Gate of Truth. As for what it was, Wang Meng said that even in the Murmansk base camp, it was something that only a very few high-level people could know, and he only got a few words.
When he heard this, Li Zhen's eyelids jumped slightly. He thought for a moment and asked, "So, what about the purpose?" What is the purpose for which they gave birth to you? ”
He was careful not to use the word "made," and Wang Meng clearly understood his intentions. So he smiled politely and replied, "That's really a key point. I can be sure that they will not come to this world just out of curiosity. ”
"In the first chapter of Genesis, after the creation of all things, our Lord felt that it was 'good.' And after the creation of the old man, he felt that 'everything is very good'—" He straightened up and lightly touched the pages of the book on the table with his fingers—Li Zhen noticed that it was a Bible—and said in a soft tone, "The Lord created man because of love, but the Lord was not completely satisfied with the man he created, and that is why there was the Flood—"
Li Zhen was stunned and planned to remind him...... Off topic.
But Rongshu stopped Li Zhen with his eyes. The implication was not so much that he listened patiently and politely, but rather that he was saying—and listening, there was a good show.
Li Zhen shrugged slightly.
Wang Meng continued: "The flood did not destroy the old man because of the mercy of the Lord. But this does not mean that the Lord is perfectly pleased with everything. Perhaps the Lord only took a nap in the Divine Court, and thousands of years have passed in our world. So thousands of years later, the Lord looked at this world again—and found that nothing was what he wanted to do. So the Lord created us—by the hand of sinners. ”
Li Zhen was stunned. He wasn't a man who liked to argue with others, but an obvious fact made him ask, almost subconsciously, "When you speak of the Lord, do you mean the God contained in this book?" ”
"Yes." Wang Meng smiled.
"But...... The Holy Spirit contained in the book has appeared. Li Zhen frowned slightly, "Lucifer, or the first archangel." You should know that it is a creature with great strength, not ......"
"No, that's Satan." Wang Meng said solemnly, "Lucifer has fallen into Satan, and the form you and I see is only Satan walking in the world, and it is definitely not the real Holy Spirit. The true Holy Spirit is invisible to you and me. ”
Eiki showed that "sure enough" expression. Wang Meng naturally saw it, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
So Li Zhen realized that this one seemed to be a fanatic as well—if he wasn't pretending to be crazy and stupid. But his ridiculous and ridiculous-sounding argument and logic are hard to refute—he can say that Jesus does exist because you can't prove that it doesn't exist.
He could say that they were indeed created by the will of the Lord, because you can't prove that there is no such thing at all.
He can even say that the "Lucifer" and the like that currently exist in this world are the form of demons walking on the earth, and the real Holy Spirit is invisible to humans.
In a sense, this is rogue logic. Li Zhen felt that even if he explained everything to him—the truth about the "Great Master", the other party could smile and say that it was only the human form of the Lord, and the real Lord was still above the sky and human consciousness.
He didn't know if Wang Meng was lucky or unlucky to be in such a state. (To be continued......)
