"For God so loved the world that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - The Gospel of John
…
"Love is long-suffering and kind;
Love is not jealous, love is not boasting, it is not arrogant, it does not do shy things,
He does not seek his own good, he does not anger easily, he does not count the evil of men, he does not delight in unrighteousness, but devotes only the truth;
Bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things.
Love never ends. ”
—1 Corinthians 13:4-8

In 2070 A.D.,
In the middle of the night, only some of the city's artificial light remains.
A maroon pill, a delicate slice of meat, was placed in a dark room, on a double plate on a table.
The table was close to the side of the glass wall of the building, and in the dark shadow, a hand reached out.
He, or she, first put the pill together with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger and held it up.
The dried pill was swallowed by the person in the dark shadow without water.
…
There was a long silence in the room.
"It's not." A voice that couldn't tell the gender and didn't know what it meant said.
He, or she, stabbed the piece of meat with the knife that had been prepared on the table. The man, holding the knife upright, as if in the dark, was looking at the slices of meat on the tip of the knife.
Then, the slices of meat, knives, and hands all melted into the original black shadow. The room was filled with the sound of chewing and putting down a knife.
As the swallowing ended, the room fell silent again.
Long
"Not really."
"It seems that it is not in the 'meat'. We can only wait a little longer. ”
"Is it the third generation?" The semantics of the shadow seem to be obscure.
On the other side of the table in the dark shadows, a man's voice was heard.
"Yes."
"Hmm... At least it wasn't wasted. ”
…
In 2170 AD, a full 150 years have passed since the 101-person Eden exploration and expedition that shocked the world in 2020. This year is a great anniversary for "that part" of the human population, which is still scarce in total; But for the vast majority of human beings, as time passes, their emotions for that period gradually turn to disgust.
But regardless of everyone's joy and anger, 2020 has indeed changed the progress of the human world. The Earth's original orbit has been detached, and it seems to have given rise to two legs, stepping towards another bizarre world.
The legend of Eden gradually shed its hazy coat like mist, and under the further peeling of 101 people, it became a jade body with the truth.
The creator god is asleep, and it will be at least 10,000 years before he wakes up again; In the orchard of the hill of Eden, the tree of life is indeed placed in the center, rooted in the sacred stone of milk and honey; The Divine Stone gave birth to four rivers – Gihon, Bishon, Euphrat, and Hedikiel; Seven small crystal trees, with nearly 100 divine truths on them—they are the source of the power of the creator god, and they are the siblings of the forbidden fruit that they devoured with Adam and Eve... Now, the travelers of Eden a hundred years ago, like the ancestors of mankind, have once again committed the original sin of stealing and greed... It is true that this creature of mankind has committed many sins today...
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, which gave mankind its own virtues, good and evil.
The travelers of Eden stole the gods, and their descendants became apostles with sin...
…
Pedestrian Street, which has developed into a strange means of human travel, still seems to be a "living fossil" of urban culture, and is still bustling and crowded.
Handsome men and beautiful women travel here, and even if the "bipedal suspension thruster" has long been invented, it is rare to see it here. Urban women seem to be eager to continue to be here in this technologically advanced era, feeling the numbness and pain of their feet.
And in order not to be vicious here, but... The very eye-catching white flower thigh owner despises, and the creatures with more legs dare not choose to be lazy with technology alone under the intimidation of their collective obscene gaze.
A bearded man in an earthy yellow jacket huddled through the crowd, his steps light and his eyes fixed on the straight ahead - the tall woman in purple hot pants and a small silver-gray crop top -
A pink leather bag in his hand.
Suddenly, the man's gaze became solemn and solemn, and his thin cheeks were full of solemnity, as if shining with brilliance. He used both hands to cut through the crowd on both sides, and walked through the obstacles.
"Whew!" The man exhaled and closed his eyelids, his eyes filled with determination—as if this was the 100-meter track on his track and field.
The man flew up, his feet seemed to be in the air, and the powerful Achilles tendon provided him with explosive power beyond the average person, which was the source of his confidence for a long time! No one ever could keep up with him, not men, women, or - the police!
The man's feet were so visible that no one could see the rhythm of his legs.
"It worked!" The man was excited and shouted in his heart!
The woman froze in place, and it took several seconds before she let out an instinctive scream - "Ah! Thief! ”
The people on both sides frowned and dodged, painfully plugging their ears.
…
Rowe yawned with his hands in his trouser pockets.
He really didn't want to come to this crowded place in the morning, but who let Ai Shuyin's dead girl next door have a birthday again. Really, a year is really too fast, and picking a gift for her every year is going crazy. Alas, and can't help but send, who makes their relationship with her too good. However, it is said that childhood sweethearts will have wonderful feelings... How I didn't feel embarrassed about that flat-chested woman... What a loss... I hope this gift will satisfy her. I actually said that the things I bought for her online last time were perfunctory... Isn't it just that the courier box was placed at the door of her house, how perfunctory, I didn't let her pick it up by herself.
Luo Wei couldn't seem to stop his brainstorming.
But...
Luo Wei's eyes were fixed on the lewd man in front of him, a few paces away from him.
This should be a pickpocket, right? Rowe thought. However, these targeted women are really troublesome, what era is it now, obviously you don't have to bring anything, you can go directly to the mall - scan the iris, check the identity, personal economic information is bound to the virtual card of the network, you can pay directly, and bring some inexplicable things to this kind of person in a large bag. Soria leather bag with tens of thousands of federal coins, doesn't this put meat in front of the wolf?
Sure enough, Luo Wei reluctantly touched his earrings.
"Ahh Thief! ”
Hearing that terrible and unaesthetic voice, Luo Wei thought - I still have to go out on my own!
Jumping on the spot, he moved his lower arms and palms. The thief had already run dozens of meters in a matter of seconds, but Luo Wei was still not in a hurry.
"Whew!"
Compared to the rough and direct behavior of the bag pickpocket, Luo Wei was much more scrupled, and of course, he didn't need to run faster by doing this.
Rowe looked at the lamppost on the side and smiled.
He kicked the ground sideways, detached himself as if he were not bound by gravity, and leaped over the heads of the crowd, his body parallel to the ground, and stepped on the lamppost!
The distance between the two lampposts was about ten meters, but Luo Wei only jumped again, and landed on another lamppost in about a second!
The crowd suddenly burst into exclamation!
"Mom, Martial Superman!" The eyes of a boy held by a beautiful young woman in the crowd lit up, and he actually saw the federal superhero with his own eyes!
Within seven seconds, Luo Wei was only a few meters away from the pickpocket.
As if he heard an exclamation behind him, Ben never looked back, for fear of affecting the speed, the pickpocket brother, looked behind him. Suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank! Looking at Luo Wei, who was almost about to catch up with him, as if ignoring the rules of nature, the pickpocket was ruthless in his heart!
"Damn, fight! I picked up so many things, and if I was caught, I had to go to prison for at least 30 years anyway, and only by stabbing him could I have a way to live! ”
Looking at Rowe, who was smiling and jumping up again from the lamppost, this time he was sure to pounce in front of him, the pickpocket braked his running legs, turned around, and at the same time took out a control knife with a silver light from the mezzanine of his jacket!
Big Brother Pickpocket smirks, he's bold, but he's also smart. He took a small step forward and grabbed the spot where Rowe landed - in the air, and people could no longer adjust their direction.
Wait until the boy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead hits the ground - the knife I have ready is waiting for you! If you want to blame it, blame yourself for meddling, boy! The pickpocket brother is ruthless in his heart.
Luo Wei saw the knife pointed at him, but he still had a faint smile in the air. "Stupid thief, do you see that little brother and I can jump like this, are I an ordinary person?" Luo Wei snickered inwardly.
Rowe just stretched out his left hand. If he had a cloak hanging behind him at this time, he would really look like Superman.
Just when the blade was less than a meter away from Luo Wei, something happened that made the pickpocket's big brother's eyes almost pop out-
Luo Wei's left hand stretched out, and the moment it intersected with the blade, three fingers grabbed the blade!
Under the effect of inertia, if ordinary people do this, the huge impact force will still make the knife sink into the body without hindrance, but after Luo Wei grabbed it, he pulled the knife out with the force that the pickpocket could not hold the knife in both hands, and accurately threw the knife into the bucket of the trash can on the side!
At this time, Luo Wei was in the air, and before he completely collided with the pickpocket, he stretched out his other hand - one hand into a palm, imprinted on the pickpocket's chest!
The pickpocket was knocked to the ground by the impact, and Luo Wei, with his right palm attached to the pickpocket's chest, supported with one hand, jumped upside down in the air, as if doing an air somersault, and after another half a week of somersaulting - landed steadily!
Luo Wei relied on the long-distance jump, and the impact of that palm was very strong, and with that palm alone, the bones in the pickpocket's chest were probably broken into several pieces!
The pickpocket groaned, and the bones in his chest shattered so much that he could no longer stand up in pain.
The crowd around was dumbfounded, and then—
"Oh!" "So handsome!" "That's amazing!"
Applause, applause, and cheers rang out.
Luo Wei smiled wickedly and touched the obsidian stud earring in his left ear.
"So handsome!" Many of the little girls around screamed even more. Suddenly, the praise and cheers of the surrounding men were much smaller... It's like eating a fly.
"Whew! Dog takes a mouse! In the crowd, a discordant voice reached Rowe's ears. Luo Wei was slightly startled and turned around.
The source of the voice was - the hot tall girl who was robbed of the bag.
Luo Wei pursed his lips, a little angry. "Isn't that what you shouted about catching thieves?"
"Huh, do you have a problem with your ears, 'Mortal Warrior'?" The tall girl hugged her chest with her hands and said with disdain in her eyes.
"I said 'Ah, thief', but I didn't shout 'catch'!"
Seeing the girl's disdain for herself, and hearing the aggravated title of 'Mortal Warrior', Luo Wei frowned. "Apostle?"
The hot woman was slightly arrogant, still holding her chest and raising her chin.
Luo Wei thought for a moment, then seemed to understand, his brows furrowed even tighter, and said, "Are you - 'fishing'?" ”
"It's good to know! Spoil my good deeds, idiot mortal warriors! The girl snorted coldly, looking a little angry and annoyed.
"Then you're really-" Luo Wei's perception of girls has also become completely bad, he hates the "apostle" who intends to use "holy energy" like this, Luo Wei said, "It's boring! ”。
Luo Wei ignored the tall and outstanding girl, turned around and walked away with his trouser pockets in his pocket. He didn't want to hear her complain, and he didn't expect the uneducated to say thank you to him. Not to mention, the "apostles" and the "mortal warriors" are in a way opposite.
…
The hot woman who was going to quarrel a few more words and vent her dissatisfaction also stared at her beautiful eyes, opened her mouth, looked at the back of the crowd, and didn't complain. It was as if she felt her fist hit the cotton, and today, that feeling twice!
"What a person!" The hot woman stamped her feet and grunted in annoyance. With a cold snort, she snatched her bag from the pickpocket and angrily left in the opposite direction of Rowe...
