What, what's right, after two years, the 'Red Moon Pavilion' has been updated! I thought the owner hung up, but what does this mean?

What's wrong with this today, the blog is actually updated? What is the White Grim Reaper? It's been since the last update, and is the blogger living in three circles? Was the last incident affected? You okay!

But the gift shop has been open, is the owner a blogger? Blogger: Did you know that there is a gift shop with the same name as 'Red Moon House' on the southern border? Or are you the owner?

It's so inexplicable.,Only this sentence.,Is it a last word? Are bloggers in any danger?

It's boring again, isn't it? Want to start a new game? Where is it this time? I'm happy to help......

Does the blogger know something? Since that war, the winds of the world have changed, the protective ring has become insecure, and the civilians have become more and more unstable...... The next war is also a matter of time, and we will have to ask for more blessings.

Yes, why is it that our generation, who originally lived a good life in the circle, has to face these problems, and I heard that the Hunters Association is recruiting people again......

Speaking of the Hunters' Association, I seem to have heard that ZERO was seriously injured last time and has been recuperating. I heard that in the end, it was the 'Pud' who came forward to quell the war for three laps, which is really annoying, why should he take the credit of ZERO, obviously ZERO contributed the most to that war, it's so unfair! ZERO: We've got your back!

The same can not be said for the upstairs, it is said that the people who were at the scene at the time saw with their own eyes that ZERO and the leader of the riot army were acquaintances, and it seemed that they were still very close, and on the surface ZERO was recuperating, but in fact, the association suspected that he had a connection with the rebels, and was suspended.

Curious what the 'White Reaper' is? Aren't all Grim Reaper black? Or will there be some catastrophe? Like that war? Will the blogger explain, or do you want us to guess?

Welcome back, blogger! We continue to support you!

Red Moon looked at the hundreds of replies below. "This time...... Things are going to be fun, don't die. The red moon stared at the shadows on the ground stretched by the moonlight pouring in through the window.

"Selfish human beings, believing that they have supreme power, easily decide the survival of other species! When there is a higher existence than humans, can the survival of human beings be decided at will? Because you and I are both spectators, we can only watch from the sidelines......"

The moon outside the window hazes all things, and the night outside the window is silent and desolate.

Second Ring of Protection:

"Admiral, there are two people who want to see you."

When Pud, who was writing at the desk, heard it, he took off his glasses and said to the secretary who came: "It's him, let him in, pour a glass of water by the way, he doesn't like coffee." ”

"Yes." The room where the person came to exit.

"I knew he was coming. Really, can't you just recuperate? Pude rubbed his brow tiredly.

"May I come in?"

"Do you want me to open the door myself, Ling." Pude stood up from the chair behind his desk and greeted Ling and Zhuge Xun as they entered the door.

After the two of them hugged politely, Pude noticed Zhuge Xun who was following Ling. "This, if I'm not mistaken, should be the gentleman who can manipulate ghosts last time, I haven't consulted ...... yet."

"Don't dare, my surname is Zhuge , the word Xun. I heard Ling talk about General Pude earlier, and I thank the general for his help last time. ”

"Mr. Zhuge don't be sarcastic about me, then what is the help, if I can get over earlier, things won't develop to that point. As for the reason, I think you know it. The current government and the Hunters' Association are not what they used to be, because the world is changing. If humanity can't keep up with the pace of change, it will be eliminated by a part, and in order not to become the eliminated part, those in power must do something beneficial to themselves. As for the sacrifice, there is nothing wrong with it. Ling has been very resistant to this kind of thing before, in fact, you just refuse to admit it...... That's why you're going to be 'on vacation' this time. ”

Zhuge Xun on the side heard Pude's words, and he really hit the key point of Ling. These are exactly the things Ling cares about, and they also want to avoid them as much as possible. Sacrifice is no longer strange for oneself, as long as it is in power, it will consciously or unconsciously get rid of things or people that threaten oneself. It seems that Pude is not simple, no wonder Ling wants to visit him in the second circle first. However, is it really good to say this to Ling?

"I've thought about it this time. Also thought through. Ling's face was serious.

"If you really think about it, you won't come to me. You're not just here to say thank you. Pudder took a bottle from the shelf, filled the glass in his hand, and drank it down.

Seeing that Ling didn't speak, Pude turned his gaze to Zhuge Xun.

"Is Mr. Zhuge a descendant of that great sage in ancient China? That great military strategist Zhuge Kongming? ”

"Yes. It is the ancestor of the family. Does the general know about his ancestors? "Zhuge Xun was very surprised that Pude would know about Zhuge Liang, because no one seemed to remember it now. Look at Pude is also sixty or seventy years old.

"Haha, when I was young, I liked ancient Chinese culture very much, and among them, my favorite character was Zhuge Liang. His talent is not attainable by ordinary mortals. Coming from a military family, I've always regarded him as an idol. ”

"Thank you, General, for your affection for your ancestors. In fact, the ancestor of the family is just doing his best for the lord. ”

"I am an old acquaintance with Ling, I entered the association because of Ling, since you and Ling are friends, then naturally they are also my friends, if you don't dislike my eighty-seven years old."

"Don't dislike it! I'm older. And there are many things I want to ask the general for advice in the future. ”

"Haha, huh? Another weirdo. From now on, call me Pude, don't call me a general, I'm not used to it, I don't want to be the title of 'general' anymore. ”

"Hmm."

"Kaoru is more far-reaching than Ling thought...... Something. ”

"What about Mr. Pudd? You are also the incumbent, the administrator of this second circle of protection, for the sacrifice...... It doesn't matter? ”

"Kaoru is really ruthless when he speaks. The change of the times needs to be promoted, and whether the times are developing for the better or for the worse depends on the key events that promote the development of the times and the leaders behind the events.

Kaoru hadn't visited the second lap I managed, so that's why he asked me such a question.

In fact, human life is really fragile, when I was young, I also did not care about the killing spree, the people who died under my hands, or because of me, are not less than the last turmoil, for human beings, I am also a sinner. But I'm also the one who drives things, and it's not modest to say that if it weren't for me, the world wouldn't be the way it is.

Sacrifice is inevitable, but it depends on whether the sacrifice is worthwhile. ”

"Pudde. In any case, people need to be saved and guided, and the world is collapsing, but we can't stop repairing it just because it has collapsed. Ling didn't want to agree with Pudde's idea.

"You're so naΓ―ve!" Pud dropped the wine glass in his hand. "It seems that the lesson for you is not enough."

"Why, though, Pud, that you say so about me, the second circle you manage exists exactly as I want? It's because you don't want war either, and you don't want to see people die. We want an ideal world without war and sacrifice because we have experienced too many people leaving us, which is not easy to achieve, but as long as we work hard, we can achieve it, at least in the second circle! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I...... I'm not agreeing to the 'sacrifice'. Our topic is not about whether it is right to sacrifice the weak, we are talking about the progress of the world. Pude poured another glass of wine and drank it down.

"Don't drink it anymore, it's not good for you." Ling snatched the bottle from Pudde's hand in a stop.

"It's okay, I'm still young, this little wine won't kill me. You drink some too, it's been a long time since we've sat down and drunk, Kaoru can also have some, this is a good old wine. ”

"I said, Ling, what is the current form of the world, do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know? The earth we live on is almost dead, but now there is no other place to live. Decades ago, people went to space to develop their own territory, but it seems that there is an invisible force preventing people from developing into space, so until now, human beings are still living on this increasingly bad earth, and those who believe that human beings will eventually be redeemed have now given up, shouting 'We have been abandoned by God, and we have to bear the consequences of the evil we have sown, and we must bear the consequences of the destruction of nature.'" ’

But limited resources, there is no way to ensure that everyone can survive, in order to survive, there will be the emergence of the social form of 'circle', I admit that the current 'circle' has lost the meaning when it was first established, and the nature has changed, but why is this? It is because of the times, the environment is changing, changing for the worse, people are also changing in order to adapt, and those who have the right to change are only those who are 'capable'. The so-called 'capable' is those in power, and human beings always think of themselves when they are in danger, right? The human instinct is to protect himself, and the person who says I want to protect others is because he has not yet encountered something that really threatens him.

You don't have to look at me, Ling, can you promise not to sacrifice others under any circumstances, and die yourself? When you can't die, no matter how beautiful it is, 'I still have unfinished business to do, so I can't die!'" As long as you are human, you can't think of others first!

So if you want to change this situation and avoid this kind of thing from happening, you can only become a 'person in power' and use your power to enforce it. Just like my second lap. And you, you say you want to protect people, when you are not on 'vacation', you have the ability and power to protect those who need protection, but you have nothing now, just a nominal position, what can you do! What else can you protect! What do you take to protect your life?

Ling, you're a fool! What happened last time was because I had the power and others listened to what I said, that's why you lived until now! If I were an ordinary person, you could still talk to me about changing the world! ”

'Pap, pap, pap' next to Zhuge Xun's applause. "Mr. Pudder's knowledge of the world is truly impressive. It was the right place to come here. "Red Moon actually wants Ling to understand this truth. That's why she said those words before leaving.

"Am I doing something wrong? Do I want to look at the same people and treat them differently? People in the circle can squander resources, while the mistakes made by all mankind are borne by those outside the circle? ”

"Ling, let me ask you a question, how do you protect those who live outside the 'circle'?" Pude asked Ling very seriously. This friend who is more than 50 years younger than himself. Sometimes Ling is really wise when looking at problems, but sometimes she is mentally retarded like a child.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't have enough power right now, so ......"

"Not enough power? Isn't your passion enough? What more power do you need? Ling, power and identity only come into play when you have to protect the people below, and usually it's nothing. But you can't do without it, because it's impossible for it to come by itself when you need it. The fact that you were 'put on vacation' this time is your biggest miscalculation.

If you want me to guess, before you came to me, what you thought in your heart was that this 'strongest hunter' with no name in vain should not enter, and this increasingly corrupt association should not enter! ”

"Mr. Napude, what are we going to do next? Are you really going to do nothing? Zhuge Xun asked Pude rhetorically.

"In fact, before there was no turmoil, the second circle has been constantly expanding outward, hoping that more civilians will also enjoy equality. But because of the last war, it's a bit difficult to handle now. I guess you're coming, so let's talk about the future.

As Ling said, we can't see the world collapse, we still have to work hard to repair the mistakes we have made.

"I'm sorry. It's that I'm thinking too hastily. "Red Moon and Kate should think the same as Pud, but they are so stupid.

"Actually, I can understand, I investigated your relationship with that 'two-faced man'. Then, let's take my second circle as a base and start a new world that belongs to us. Pudder raised his glass.

"Count me in, it's nice to know you two."

Pude, Ling, and Zhuge Xun each drank the wine in their cups.

"You're tired too, especially Ling, you also need to digest what I said, don't look at you now very clearly, after a while you will be on the tip of the bull's horns again. I don't know you yet. I have people prepare a place for you to rest. You can stay in my house, you don't have a place to go anyway. Pude made a phone call and said a few words.

"Hmm."

"Thank you, Mr. Budde."

"Kaoru doesn't have to be polite with me. When I have time, I'd like to ask you about that kind of ability on the battlefield. But forget it today, let's have a good rest, Ling knows my home, you take Kaoru first, and I'll go back after I'm done handling things. ”

"Okay. It just so happened that I took Kaoru to visit the 'Taoyuan Township' that you manage. ”

"Taoyuan Township?" Zhuge Xun was puzzled.

"Haha, Ling really knows how to name it, Taoyuan Township? Hahahaha, then you can take Kaoru to have a look, drive my car, no one will embarrass you in the second lap. ”

Zhuge Xun was also very curious about what kind of scene the second circle managed by Pude would be, because he walked through the 'Gate of Time' when he came, so he didn't see anything, and Ling and Pude had been talking about the second circle just now. What kind of society is worthy of the name 'Taoyuan Township' that appears in ancient Chinese poetry......
