Chapter 726: Sinners
Standing on the square in front of the Dragon Hall at dusk, Cheng Lin remembered this question with some chagrin.
It's a pity that the white-haired Shi Shengcun has left, and he can't find anyone to answer.
"Well, maybe this itself is just a joke he made, or a hint to me, the sentence 'Hello, Cheng Lin', the first two words are greetings, and the back is my 'signature', on the contrary, it can also be connected as his greetings to me...... Oh, the Chinese language is really broad and profound...... In this way, the giant face in the starry sky is most likely him...... No...... I always felt that something was wrong. ”
"And where did the fate revelation in that starry sky come from, and does it have some connection with that face?"
Cheng Lin stood in place and thought about it, always feeling that there were still some things in it that couldn't be explained, as if they were ...... A piece of the puzzle, missing the last piece.
But he wasn't sure if it was his delusion.
Fortunately, most of the things have been clarified in this conversation, and only one "fate revelation in the starry sky" can also be pushed to the occult...... In the end, it still made him a lot more cheerful.
As for some small things, the reason can be guessed nowadays.
"For example, the 'safe house' that always floats behind me in the deduction, this is probably the disguise of the space opened up by Shi Shengcun, or his 'spirit world', so to speak, my so-called death in the deduction may not really be dead, and it is likely that he was pulled back to the 'safe house' at the moment of death, so I will be resurrected in it every time I 'die'......"
"Another example, the sudden increase in power I gained during the deduction is obviously also due to him...... It doesn't have to be all of them.
For example, in the Great Dao Sect, maybe I really practiced there for a thousand years...... It's just erased from the relevant sense of time......
This can explain the fighting power that is like the sky......"
"Also, he asked me to engrave my name and leave a message, which was obviously to strengthen my reputation, but now it has evolved into this ......"
"Also, the deduction may not just simply pull me into a parallel world, it is definitely not so simple, it should also involve the problem of 'tributaries', and it is unlikely that my body has passed through.
Well, there is a high probability that it is conscious, spiritual...... It is likely that it was also achieved with the help of Shi Shengcun's 'safe house', for example, I can't bring back the aura and items in the deduction world to reflect it...... It's going to be a complicated process......"
Of course, out of prudence, Cheng Lin did not completely and unconditionally believe the other party's words, and still maintained a certain skeptical attitude, but the end mentioned by the white-haired Shi Shengcun still made him feel terrified.
"Three years ......" Cheng Lin muttered, and then his eyes changed.
After that, he looked at the world again, took up his sword light, and returned to the north.
……
When he returned to the door connecting the two worlds, he found that the mechanical soldiers had disappeared, presumably recalled by Nuwa.
He didn't hesitate, he stepped in, and in an instant, he had already returned to the spirit world.
When he came out of the cave, he saw others waiting outside.
Cao Wei sat on the grass in a daze, and Nuwa looked at her from the side.
As for Elu, she also walked around anxiously, while the rest of the elves were either studying in the classroom or busy in the kitchen.
When they saw Cheng Lin coming out, they suddenly gathered around: "Cheng Lin, you're back!" ”
"Didn't you say it, you don't have to wait."
Seeing the concerned faces, Cheng Lin's heart warmed, and he immediately pretended that everything was as usual, and said:
"Okay, I'll probably go to the opposite side to explore, rest assured, it's very safe, now, we have another resource star."
"That's good," said Eru, relieved, then tugging at the skirt around her waist, "I'm tired, the meal is ready, and it's still hot." ”
"Okay," Cheng Lin exhaled deeply, and then said with a smile on his face, "Go home and eat!" ”
……
……
The dinner was still very sumptuous, and throughout the banquet, Cheng Lin always controlled himself and did not show any unusual emotions.
After eating, he even went to the classroom next to him to check the learning progress of the elves, and was surprised to find that the elves had made great progress in both literacy and speaking.
After complimenting him a few words without hesitation, Cheng Lin came out of the classroom.
Then I saw that Cao Wei in the villa was wearing a newly changed pink pajamas, happily playing games with the controller and the TV in the hall, looking very focused.
In just two days, she had completely adapted to the life of the spirit world, and even had a lot more smiles on her face than in reality.
It seems that for her, it really feels like home.
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly, Cheng Lin heard Nuwa's voice ringing from behind him.
"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect Xiaocao to adapt so quickly." Cheng Lin replied calmly.
Nuwa walked over and said calmly: "Indeed, judging from the data, her mental health index has been very high in the past two days. ”
"Can you still detect this indicator?" Cheng Lin said with some surprise.
Nuwa held the crystal ball, sat down on the bench by the lake next to her, and pointed to let Cheng Lin sit down as well, before saying:
"It turned out that I couldn't, but I've been idle and bored these days, I have made some sensors for myself in the fertile soil, which can detect the emotions of creatures to a certain extent, well, it was some papers on your world network that inspired me......"
Cheng Lin was stunned, and then smiled:
"It turns out that when you connect to the outside network, you don't just watch it, but you also know how to learn knowledge."
Nuwa looked away when she heard this, and snorted.
Then, suddenly, she said:
"Since you came back, your emotions have been very unstable, although your expression and demeanor are well controlled, but you can't hide the data...... Is something going on? ”
Nuwa said, turning her head to look at him.
Cheng Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then fell silent, the night breeze was cool, and in the grass by the lake, there was a faint sound of small insects chirping, which was very quiet.
"Nuwa."
"Huh?"
"What if...... I mean, if ...... There is another disaster in the outside world one day, and those disasters do not affect us, so ...... Do you think I should be saved? Cheng Lin finally said.
This question has been pressing on his heart since he returned from the dragon world.
Although when talking to the white-haired Shi Shengcun, he said that he had many reasons why he had no reason to go to the rescue, but when he was really faced with this choice, he was far less firm than in words.
Nuwa blinked when she heard this, leaned back slightly, and her silver hair was draped on the bench like flowing moonlight.
"To solve this problem, we must first assess the risk, not only whether it will affect the place, but also whether you have the ability to rescue."
"Perhaps...... Yes, I don't know, well, let's take it as if there is, but it may not be that easy. ”
Cheng Lin hesitated and said, Shi Shengcun was a deserter in the first place, but now he is only seven grades, he will definitely not work, even if he has the blessing of immortal weapons.
But considering that there are still three years left...... It's not impossible, it's not perfect.
I remember that before he disappeared, he said that if he wanted to resist "them", he needed at least "above the Earth Emperor" strength...... In other words, it is one level higher than the Earth Emperor.
"In that case, the next thing to consider is the question of personal wishes." Nuwa said.
"What if you make the decision? How do you choose? Cheng Lin asked.
Nuwa did not hesitate: "Don't save it." ”
"Oh?"
"You should know that I have never had a good impression of you humans, and although I have lost my memory, you have also told me that the reason why I have lost my memory is because I was bombed by humans...... This kind of thing, if I don't retaliate, it's already considered kind, so why save it? ”
After a pause, Nuwa said again: "As for you, heh, your current situation is similar to mine, right?" All mankind wants you to die, so why save them? ”
Cheng Lin listened silently: "What you said makes sense. ”
Nuwa looked at him, as if sensing the change in his mood, hesitated, and said:
"Of course, it's up to you, I'm just offering my own opinion, after all, I'm not human...... You're different, and I know that you humans always have some messy emotions, annoyed to death, and tend to do ridiculous behaviors that are not worth it. Not...... Speaking of which, there is a problem with the destruction of the world. ”
As she spoke, Nuwa's expression suddenly became serious.
Cheng Lin asked curiously, "What's the trouble?" ”
Nuwa turned her head and looked at him solemnly: "In this way, it will be difficult to buy beautiful clothes, shoes and cosmetics......"
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, and said, "Won't you make it yourself?" ”
Nuwa puffed out her cheeks: "Lack of some raw materials...... Also, I'm not very good at designing clothes......"
The two stared at each other for a while, but neither of them spoke, and after a while, Cheng Lin stood up, exhaled, and waved his hand:
"Sleepy, sleepy, go back to the house."
"Hey, don't you bother with this anymore?"
"I don't want to!"
Cheng Lin stretched his waist as he walked towards the villa, yawned, and replied vaguely.
What about three years from now...... What do you think about now?
"Besides...... I think what you're saying makes a lot of sense. Cheng Lin muttered in his heart, and threw these thoughts into his head fiercely.
……
……
In the next few days, peace returned to the spirit world.
Of course, this does not mean that the workload is reduced.
Cheng Lin still has to spend a lot of time studying the fragments of Edlaide's spirit, not for the sake of a disaster three years later, but simply to pursue strength.
The ghost knows how strong "they" are, will they find the spirit world and then kill them directly?
Who can say for sure? Even if you don't care about the world, it is still important to improve your strength purely for yourself.
In addition, the exploitation of resources in the Dragon World, the further liberation of the productivity of the Fertile Soil Factory, and the modernization of the Elven Court will not be completed in a short period of time.
Not to mention, as the area of the spirit world continues to expand, Cheng Lin still has to consider the issue of managing this space.
Day 3.
Cheng Lin took the time to walk out of the spirit realm and used his liquefaction ability to return to the southern city of the Xia Kingdom, this time, he did not carry a communicator, so no one found his traces.
With the help of the Internet, he also set his sights on global trends.
And it is true that things have not developed beyond his expectations.
……
Guangzhou, the city center.
When Cheng Lin turned on the "Mind Manipulation" ability, wore a casual suit, and wore small sunglasses to enter a roadside snack bar in a grand manner, and sat down, the tablet with WiFi in his hand suddenly popped up dense news.
He picked it up and looked at it, and then the smile on his lips widened suddenly.
I saw that the title read:
"The United Nations officially listed "Cheng Lin" as a globally wanted supercriminal, crime: crimes against humanity
