Prologue: The Beginning of the Bond

70,000 years ago in the Yahua Empire a village

With his lovely daughter Ariel in his arms, Li Kewen walked through the valley and gently hummed a song composed by Malika:

There is a ······ He walked with me

There is a ······ He plucked flowers for me

There is a person who will hug me and accompany me

That person was right next to me

That person is you

You accompany me, whether it is the stars or the sun, it is beautiful

If you are away, the stars will no longer twinkle and the sun will lose its luster

You must promise: you will always be with me and never leave me

Because ······ You are the most important person in my heart

Ariel giggled, Li Kewen looked at her dotingly, kissed her forehead, he and Malika are childhood sweethearts, they have been neighbors since childhood, they go to the Scarborough Market to buy things together, Li Kewen often picks the most beautiful flower and pins it to Malika's head, they stay together as brother and sister, the neighbors always say that they are a natural pair of lovers, the two will always blush and shake their heads in denial, but soon, they realize that each other is a real soul mate, despite this, They still didn't say the sentence I love you, but at a dance, Li Kewen could no longer restrain his love for her, kissed her, and said softly: "לך אני, אוהבי" In Hebrew, this is the meaning of "my heart belongs to you", they have been together since that day, and now they have a newborn daughter, Li Kewen took Ariel for a walk in the mountains, their village is called Scarborough Village, which is a relatively wealthy place in this area.

Seeing that the sky was gloomy and it was estimated to be raining, Li Kewen returned to the Scarborough Market not far from the village, bought a bouquet of calla lilies, and thought of returning home to surprise Malika, Ariel's bright green eyes looked at the bouquet of flowers curiously, Li Kewen said gently: "Ariel, the flower language of this bouquet of flowers is eternal love, and your mother Malika and I will love you forever." ”

When he walked to a path in front of the village and saw a purple light rushing to the sky in the direction of the village, which made everything so weird, Li Kewen felt that something was wrong, and hurried to the meteor.

An old man greeted him, it was the village chief, and Li Kewen hurriedly asked, "Village chief, what was that purple light just now?" Fireworks? ”

The old man shook his head lightly and sighed, "Child, God······ The god of the world killed Malika, and we ······ Unable to do anything ······"

Li Kewen froze there like a statue, and he muttered, "How could it be······ We have no enmity with him······"

He ran to his house, where the elegant wooden house had been destroyed and in ruins, and the people of the village were on their knees, and they were lying on their knees, trembling.

Li Kewen rushed in, Malika had already fallen in a pool of blood, Li Kewen's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he yelled in despair: "Malika! ”

He put Ariel on the side of the crib, which had not yet been destroyed, and he rushed over, took her into his arms, and choked up, "Malika······ Wake up······"

"Ke······ Text······" Malika's voice was as thin as a thread, "I really ······ I love you so much······" Her green eyes were still open, but they were no longer alive, she was dead, Li Kewen gently closed her eyes and kissed her forehead gently, his tears had disappeared unconsciously, and a gray flame surrounded him.

A man walked in from outside, his eyes were bright purple, like purple gems, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Is this your wife?" ”

Li Kewen didn't answer, he gently put Malika on the ground, stood up, and looked at him coldly.

"She's the embodiment of hatred, and I'm sorry I had to kill her," the man said, "so that there would be no more hatred in the world." ”

"Is there any hatred between us and you?" Li Kewen said coldly, his voice becoming more and more cold.

The man didn't speak, glanced at Ariel on the crib, then turned around and walked out of the ruins, Li Kewen followed him out, and the villagers outside leaned down and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"Mortals, the source of hatred has been wiped out by me, you don't have to worry anymore!" The man said to the prostrate people.

"God, let me ask you a question," Li Kewen said through gritted teeth, black flames suddenly rising in his eyes, "God, will it bleed?" ”

The god of the world did not answer him, but jumped up and disappeared into the cloudy sky, and Li Kewen roared like thunder: "Yes!" And······ I'm going to die, too! "The black-gray flames rose into the sky!

Sixty-five thousand years ago in the Dongkang Empire

In the self-study class, Xi Ruo sat in the classroom, looking at the dense mathematical symbols, and sighed helplessly, her grades were the last in the class, not that she didn't work hard, but she really couldn't learn these secretive things, she thought that she couldn't buy a vegetable in the future and use calculus to calculate, right?

In fact, she is best at and favorite is dancing, when she was a child, her parents also encouraged her to participate in various dance competitions, and winning awards was to get soft, at that time she naively thought that she would become a dancer in the future, but she was wrong, her parents let her participate in the dance competition at that time The real intention was to let her apply for the high school founded by the founder of this famous empire as a special student, after all, the admission score of art students is relatively low, and her grades were not very good when she was a child, when she came to this school, She was surprised to find that those so-called art students were all fake, and they had no real skills, and what surprised her even more was that this school did not have a special dance room at all, so she had no choice but to enter an ordinary class and start that boring study career.

Her parents often looked at her unsightly report card and lamented: Xiruo, how can you go to college in the future, if you don't have good grades, your life will be ruined in the future, and you can only go to the factory to be a worker in the future!

Xi Ruo retorted unconvinced: "Now many college students can't find a job when they come out, and in the end they don't have to go to the factory to work as assembly line workers!" ”

Despite saying this, she was really afraid that she would become an assembly line worker in the future, so she studied hard, often staying up late and working overtime, but her grades still couldn't be raised, so her parents told her to hurry up every minute and every second, don't go to dance during the break, and quickly brush up a few more questions, but she didn't want to, she still wanted to be a dancer deep down, but when she saw the admission score line of the famous art university, she hesitated again and again, and finally a few days ago, she decided to temporarily put the hobby of practicing dance, Spend every minute studying, unfortunately, her grades are still not good, in order to show her efforts, she also brought a flat glasses, after all, those top students around her are wearing high glasses, all wearing blue and white school uniforms, although their eyes are a little dull, but their brains are spinning quickly.

In order to get as close to them as possible, she also got a standard student haircut, and she wore black-rimmed glasses, which made her not much different from the people around her.

She sits in the back row by the window, which is a position for people with poor grades, and those with good grades can give priority to the front position, although those positions can eat the teacher's saliva, but Xiruo is still very envious of those students, she studies hard, but still can't get good grades.

Just as she wanted to force herself to look at the scoundrel's math again, her homeroom teacher, who was also wearing a standard teacher's haircut, black-rimmed glasses, and a school teacher's uniform, walked in.

"Students," the students looked up at the same time as if they had received an instruction, "a new student is here today, everyone applauds and welcomes!" ”

A chubby boy walked in, his hair was not the standard watermelon head of a male student, but a little messy, he was tall and fat, and his eyes were not big, but when he saw his eyes, he always felt that he was different from the students around him, like a cluster of flowers with different colors, which looked very special.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Kewen, and I am a new transfer student," the boy introduced himself calmly, "I hope to get along with everyone!" ”

Then, as expected, the class erupted in a standard chorus of applause, which the teacher had taught them to deal with the leaders who had come to investigate.

Li Kewen listened to this neat and powerful applause, but frowned slightly, he then nodded lightly, walked to his seat, and those students also buried their heads together and continued their cramming learning.

Li Kewen's position was next to Xi Ruo: "Hello, classmate," he whispered to Xi Ruo, "My name is Li Kewen." ”

"Where are you from?" Xi Ruo also lowered her voice, but other than that, all the sound was the sound of the tip of the pen sliding on the paper.

"From Hong Yu's side, are you a local?"

"Well," Xiruo nodded slightly, "why did you turn around?" ”

"That's right," Li Kewen said, "I actually went to many schools before, trying to find a different school, but in fact, it seems that they are all the same, these students, these things, are all the same." ”

"What do you mean?" I was stunned.

"Don't you think these students are like machines in a factory? Doing the same thing repeatedly every day, doing something they don't actually want to do in their hearts according to certain rules every day, and in the end it's like a standard product produced by a machine, without edges and corners, without opinions, following the so-called public opinion, hey······ Sadly······"

"But I don't think you're the same," Mr. Li said, his eyes shining with a strange light, "really, not lying to you." ”

"Why?" I don't know.

"What do you want to do in the future? Or what's your favorite thing on your mind right now? Deep down······" Li Kewen asked softly.

Xi Ruo was slightly stunned: "I like ······ Dancing ······"

"Look, you're different from those people, you have what you want to do, not the same thing," Li Kewen said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Classmate," Li Kewen patted the shoulder of the table in front of him sideways, a boy with standard glasses turned around, his eyes were in stark contrast to Li Kewen's eyes, one did not have that kind of anger, and Li Kewen's eyes had some infinite vitality, as a result, before Li Kewen finished speaking, the man said coldly, "Hurry up, I have to do the question, I must follow the guidelines of the great leaders, study hard, and become a glorious white-collar worker of the empire!" ”

"Okay," Li Kewen didn't seem surprised, he smiled, and continued, "What do you want to do now, not what you just said, but what your heart tells you deep down, what do you want to do?" ”

The boy seemed to have been hit by something, and his whole body trembled fiercely, his face suddenly became a little terrifying, and his voice was cold: "I want to study hard, become a master in the future, and fight for the great Dongkang Empire!" ”

"Wait, are you technological?" The boy suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "The people of that organization are all bastards, they dare to question the leaders of the great Dongkang Empire, they all deserve to be killed!" Then he turned around, and his voice caught the attention of the other students in the class, who heard the term "technocrats", and they immediately became emotional, as if they were enchanted.

"Kill the technocrats!" "Death to the technocrats!" "Long live the Dongkang Empire!"

Xi Ruo looked at those classmates who were completely different from before in surprise, Li Kewen turned around and looked at her: "Classmates, look, this is the difference between you and them." ”

After class, the students who seemed to be enchanted just now were still motionless, and they were still there brushing up on the questions.

"It's so hard!" Li Kewen whispered in a sarcastic tone, and then he said to Xi Ruo, who was still shocked, "Hey, do you want to go out and get some fresh air." ”

As if he had woken up from a dream, he nodded vigorously, and then followed Li Kewen out.

Standing on the empty balcony, the students in the other classes were like that

"By the way, what's your name?" Li Kewen asked suddenly.

"My name is Xiruo." Xi Ruo said.

"How? I didn't lie to you, did I? You're really different from them. Li Kewen said with a smile.

"Yes······ How so? I've been in a year and I've never seen them like that······" Xiruo muttered.

"Did the so-called leaders above say anything when they came to you?"

Xi Ruo thought for a moment, "It seems like a lot of talking, by the way, mentioning an organization called 'Forward Technology', saying that they are all villains who are trying to throw our empire into chaos. ”

When Li Kewen heard this, he frowned slightly: "It seems that the thought control is very strict!" ”

"Thought control?" He was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Look at those propaganda posters or something," Li Kewen pointed in the direction of the playground, "all say how great and powerful the Dongkang Empire is, which makes all countries, including the Western Republic, afraid, and what kind of riot organization is the 'Forward Technology' organization, hey······ Do you often ask teachers to say that they should work hard and not look up at the sky, so that they can have a future in the future······ Something like that. ”

Xiruo nodded, Li Kewen shook his head and said: "This is thought control, even if you don't think so, in this environment, sooner or later you will involuntarily think like that, hey, it seems that the destruction of this world is sooner or later!" ”

"The destruction of the world? What do you mean? ”

Li Kewen smiled and shook his head: "You will naturally know in the future······"

Xi Ruo originally thought that he was also a person who would not have too good grades, but in the half-term exam, he became the first in the age, which made their ordinary class no longer so ordinary, and the school leaders came to the class to ask him if he wanted to go to the top class?

Li Kewen smiled and said he didn't want to.

Xi Ruo asked him why, Li Kewen smiled and said nothing.

After the half-term exam, it coincided with the parent-teacher meeting, Xiruo's parents are all people who work in a large company, which is what the boy called "people", they came to participate in Xiruo's parent-teacher meeting in exquisite clothes, but Xiruo was very embarrassed, because her grades were still very poor, but even so, her well-dressed teachers still praised her and said that she studied very hard, and it was a matter of time before her grades rose, saying that she was very talented in learning, and her parents were very happy to hear it. And as soon as I heard that the student who miraculously took the first grade exam was next to Xi Ruo, he said that he must meet him.

When Xi Ruo saw Li Kewen, he was standing there alone: "Kewen, didn't your parents come?" ”

Li Kewen was stunned for a moment: "Didn't come······ They're ······ something."

"My parents said they wanted to see you," Xiruo said, blushing slightly, "over there." ”

Li Kewen nodded, and followed her over, Xi Ruo's father saw him and smiled all over his face: "Hello classmate, I heard that you took the first grade in the exam this time, congratulations!" ”

Li Kewen smiled and shook hands with him without speaking.

"Classmate, what are the secrets of your study, can you teach us Xiruo?" Xiruo's mother said.

Li Kewen smiled and said, "Auntie, there is no secret, just read the book, and ······" Li Kewen smiled mysteriously, "Keep your mind and don't be controlled." ”

Xi Ruo's parents were stunned, and their expressions froze.

"Uncle and aunt," Li Kewen continued, "if she can practice dance, I think her grades will definitely improve significantly." ”

"Classmate, what did you mean by keeping your mind in your mind? Do you say we don't have a mind of our own? His father's voice was cold.

"No, no, no, it seems that you are too extreme," Li Kewen said, "to be honest, I think you are still controlled by thoughts, and you all use overly sensitive perceptions to interpret what others say." ”

"Let's not say anything else," Xiruo's mother glared at him, "can you make our Xiruo grades better?" ”

"Of course, I can help her, for example, by explaining knowledge points or something." Li Kewen said.

"That's good," Xiruo's father seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Xiruo, you're not afraid of having no future, as long as you score high in the exam, you will have a future in the future!" Well, you can practice dancing in your spare time! ”

Xi Ruo said coldly: "Do I need your consent to practice dancing?" ”

Then she walked away directly, Li Kewen shrugged his shoulders and followed.

Although it is a parent-teacher meeting, there will still be classes later, but the class is the great achievement of the Dongkang Republic, which is a recent course, saying that it will give students a deep understanding of the greatness of the Dongkang Empire and encourage them to study hard and become a glorious citizen of the Empire.

"Li Kewen!" Xi Ruo stopped, even though the class had already begun, she was still walking on the playground, her anger had not subsided, "You have a good score in the exam, it's amazing!" What exactly do you want? ”

"Xi Ruo," Li Kewen's voice was unwavering, "Do you think I'm really complacent about this achievement?" ”

"Isn't it? If you have good grades, you will be able to get into a good university in the future, and you will be able to have a good and stable job in the future, right? There was a cry in her voice, "You just want to laugh at me for my bad grades, and I can't find a job in the future, so I can only go to work as a worker on the assembly line, right?" ”

"No, you're very wrong!" Li Kewen said.

He was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Did you know that these things in books don't really make any sense to learn?"

"Learned······ Significance? He looked at him puzzled.

"These things are the foundation of the foundation, you see, are these mechanical problems difficult?" Li Kewen frowned and said, "Xiruo, haven't you felt it yet?" Most people's minds have been limited, they have lost the basic conditions for progress, they have imagination, they have free thoughts, but now those people above control their thoughts, and there are so many problems in society today, but they whitewash the peace, do you think there is any point in learning these things? ”

Xi Ruo was stunned, she had never thought about such a question before: "Ke Wen······ I ······"

"Okay, let's not talk about these things," Li Kewen realized that he was far away, "Listen, in this world, in all countries, people have subconsciously regarded reading as their only way to success, few people are really willing to explore the truth, to think about the future of mankind, 'fractionalism' has become a Pandora's box of human beings losing their future, okay, let's be practical, how many people do you think can really become human beings?" Most people are just people who are controlled by thoughts, those students, they are just products on the assembly line, they are all tools for the current Dongkang Empire to maintain its rule, Xi Ruo, I don't want you to be like this," Li Kewen unconsciously grabbed Xi Ruo's slender hand, Xi Ruo was held by a boy for the first time, and his face couldn't help but redden, "Most of the people who study here, they will become white-collar workers, become one of the thousands of standard products, they are brightly dressed, and they sit in comfortable offices, They talk about the so-called great Dongkang Empire all the time, but they actually care most about their stocks, and deep down they are extremely empty and uneasy, because their minds are controlled like that—as long as they don't think about how good the empire is, they are making mistakes, Xiruo, you are different from them, you have a talent for dancing, you also like to dance, so why should you be like those people? ”

Li Kewen gasped slightly, and only then did he notice that he was unconsciously holding her hand, his face flushed, and he quickly let go: "Ah······ The ······ Sorry ······."
