Chapter 11: The Hidden Immortal
After driving for more than half an hour, I came to Shen Laosi Lobster House, which is a famous lobster restaurant in a large area around it. It's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and the small restaurant is full of admiring diners.
The first characteristic of their crayfish is that they are large, and they are all more than 4 taels of crayfish.
The second is clean, each shrimp will be carefully removed from the shrimp line, half of the head will be reduced, and the shrimp yellow will be retained.
The third is the side dish of the boss's unique secret recipe. Other lobster's accompaniments are at most potatoes, coriander vermicelli and the like, but Shen Laosi's mixed dish is a secret grilled squid.
Super domineering!
Such a superb crayfish, submerged in the creamy garlic puree chopped by hand, is really delicious. Of course, the price is definitely not cheap, Hao Yun and each of them have a full pot of about four catties in front of them, and the four of them add up, this crayfish meal will cost almost two thousand yuan.
Anyway, how much money does this computer make, shouldn't it be a mining card......
"Waiter, serve two cases of beer first, one case of ice and one case of room temperature!"
I don't want money for wine, but the director really wants it very refreshingly.
The four of them sat in a small box in the general affairs office, but after a while, a greasy uncle wearing a chef's uniform and a kind face carried two boxes of beer and sent them in.
Lao Zheng hurriedly took the beer box: "Yo, Boss Shen personally sent the wine!" ”
"Director Zheng is here to take care of the business, why don't we ordinary people hurry up and show our loyalty." Chef Shen was sweating profusely, obviously just coming out of the kitchen, and he shouted outside, "Come on!" 202 box delivery of two dishes! ”
"Got it!"
Chef Shen showed his loyalty, sat down, handed Director Zheng a cigarette, and greeted each other with two cigarette guns.
He glanced at Hao Yun and asked, "Yo?" New here? Smoking a cigarette? Don't smoke it? It's good not to smoke. ”
"Well, it's new to our office, it's called Hao Yun, Xiao Hao, this is Boss Shen."
"Hello Boss Shen."
"Hello hello, good young man's name!" That's a deal.
Boss Shen took a puff of his cigarette, and suddenly put on a straight face and pretended to pat the table: "Lao Zheng, if I didn't say you, you are not a good thing." He pointed at Director Zheng with a cigarette, "Last time, I said that the good brothers would get together together, but you won't come." ”
Lao Zheng laughed: "Didn't you call and say, I can't come back because of the delay in time on a business trip." ”
"The whole world is busy with you? Virtue! ”
"My brother can't help himself." Lao Zheng put his arm around the chef's shoulder, "I went to the Martial God World, and it was a mess, my brain was about to explode, how could I still have the heart to drink." ”
"Haven't done anything about the house last time?"
"Not last time. This time it's a little beep named Nangong or something, and I don't know if it's reborn or for which Erwuzai soul is worn. Brought a group of younger brothers to rush the project department of our unit, and none of the locally recruited workers were killed.
The project supervisor sent by the unit was a young man with a violent temper, and he blew up at that time. The two of them fought in the Martial God World for more than ten days, and the whole world was a mess, and when I went, everyone was dead, and the two of them were still fighting. The reincarnation of the world has been shattered, and the ground is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts, not knowing where to go. Nima! ”
"To die, the young man now, tsk." Boss Shen was a little sympathetic to Director Zheng. As he spoke, the two of them finished their cigarettes, and the two dishes they were sent came up.
Chef Shen confessed and left the box.
"Okay, let's eat!" Xiaobai had long been annoyed with the two old smoking guns, she put on plastic gloves and clapped her hands, and she couldn't help it.
Hao Yun had been sitting in the corner, shivering. What are the big guys saying, why can't I understand a word? I'm so scared, should I say something? Will it be beaten? What if I get bullied by the big guy? Said the bigwigs allowed me to speak, it doesn't seem to be. Forget it, just look at it, the big guys seem to like to see me shivering.
Xiaobai smiled so much that a stack of napkins was thrown directly in his face: "Don't pretend to be emojis, okay!" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen." Seeing everyone looking up, Hao Yun decided that it would be better to ask clearly,
"My education since I was a child told me that this is a very scientific and normal world, although my heart has always longed for magic, superpowers, alien worlds, obviously much more interesting than our normal world."
"I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I lived in a world with all sorts of strange abilities, such as discovering that there is a hidden evil in this world, how I could get magic to stop many tragedies, such as getting an ancient ring and starting my own adventure. But that's just a thought. ”
"But today, I was unprepared to be pulled into a world that I had always been familiar with, but now it is incredibly unfamiliar. I want the world to be a more interesting place, but I don't want it to change in a way that I can't understand. I'd like anyone to at least tell me what all this is all about. Why, my colleagues seem to be hidden gods, and the chef of a lobster restaurant is chatting about things in another world. ”
"Xiaobai?! Didn't you ask Xiao Hao to understand the situation yesterday? Lao Zheng asked.
Lao Zheng was a little unhappy. Anyone who doesn't know what to do is so out must be full of confusion, Xiao Hao is receptive.
Xiao Bai's head lowered and was silent.
She deceived her father yesterday, and as soon as she explained it seriously, she was taken away by Hao Yun, and the two chatted about emotional topics.
Director Zheng shook his head helplessly, Xiaobai, this girl, obedient is obedient, but she can't do anything.
"Then I'll tell you about it." The director poured himself a full glass of beer, like a greasy middle-aged man, with a glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
But at that moment, the director's momentum swelled sharply, boundless. In this ordinary hotel box, Hao Yun actually has the feeling of being in the cosmic space and talking to the endless stars.
The director's far-reaching voice came from behind the starry sky.
"In the multiverse, there is such a type of life, they are either because of cultivation, or because of chance, or they are born like this, in short, they embrace eternity."
In the endless starry sky, Hao Yun saw a strange bug on one of the planets, which had the ability to steal the DNA of other creatures under various coincidences, and opened the way for himself to evolve rapidly.
"The Eternals live forever, and not even they can destroy themselves. Such a life is called an immortal by the multiverse. ”
As it devoured other creatures faster and faster, the bug became more and more powerful, and even began to devour an entire planet, packing and absorbing the entire planet's biosphere at once. Finally, intelligent life on one planet realizes the threat. With all their might, they organized a huge fleet. But no matter how you attack, you can't stop the bugs for even a second.
Hao Yun saw that the desperate coalition fleet was sailing towards a giant star in madness. At the cost of self-detonation, they caused the superstar to collapse into a black hole. Trying to destroy the bugs with the power of nature. However, the bugs just flew by calmly, and the black hole that had just formed was evaporated.
"However, the immortal has only one natural enemy, and his name is Brahman.
Brahman is not an objective existence, but a realm.
The intrinsic motivation of all life activities is survival.
Because you will be hungry, you will farm. Because it will be cold, so dress. Because there will be benefits, so keen to explore the unknown. Because I know that I will not escape death in the end, I will not stop my steps.
But the Immortal will not starve, nor will he be cold, nor will he perish. So eventually, the Immortals will stop, and there forever. ”
Hao Yun saw that the insect that was about to destroy the planet of intelligent life suddenly stopped. It was puzzled.
"Why should I move forward?"
"Why should I evolve?"
"What else do I need?"
The big bug let out a mournful cry and stopped forever in place.
"Brahma, the terminal illness of the immortals, the ultimate destination of all immortals. This is life itself, the final curse on the immortal who violates the essence of life. An immortal who falls into the Brahmanic realm will lose all pursuits and desires and become an eternal stone. ”
"After a long period of time, the immortals have discovered a way to delay their descent into Brahman. They found that the six most powerful immortals who guarded the Eternal Seal on Earth had no sign of falling into the Brahma realm. ”
Returning to the familiar Earth, a white ball of light flew down the hospital, and soon a baby was born. In the eyes of outsiders, it is no different from other little babies. Only in the process of growing up, will more and more doubts be revealed. Eventually, one day he awakened all his memories and was no longer confused.
"In order to prevent the Immortals from affecting the stability of the Root Universe, the Six Gangsters established the Immortal Alliance. The original intention of the Alliance was to restrain the actions of the Immortals, and the principle of escapism has been hidden in the history of mankind. ”
"This is the Immortal Alliance."
The atmosphere in the box returned to normal again, the yellowed chandelier on the ceiling, the hot crayfish on the table, Xiaobai was so hot that he took turns holding it with both hands, and he was reluctant to put it down. It seems that everything just now is just a conjecture.
Hao Yun sighed and picked up chopsticks to help Xiaobai clamp the crayfish. Xiaobai glanced at him gratefully.
Despite the disbelief, Hao Yun accepted the director's statement. But he still has questions: "Why did you let me know this?" Before today, I was just a normal person. ”
"Xiao Hao, why do you think we recruited you in?"
Hao Yun was silent for a moment: "Because I am an immortal." ”
"By the way, seniors, what is my ability, I feel that it has something to do with music, but it's still very vague." Hao Yun hurriedly asked.
"The road has to come out on its own, we can't say." The director interrupted Hao Yun's question, "If we say it, it will affect you." Come on, Comrade Xiao Hao! ”
He patted Hao Yun on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
"One last question." Hao Yun still decided to ask, "What is the relationship between our urban and rural committees and the construction committee?" ”
This is a major issue involving staffing! Don't take a fake preparation yourself.
"We are subordinate units of the Construction Committee." The director replied, "You have also seen the labor contract, and the Personnel Bureau and the Construction Committee have stamped it." ”
"The point is not the chapter." Hao Yun couldn't understand it at all, "What is the relationship between the Immortal Alliance and the government?" Many immortals are hidden among the administrators, which I believe, after all, there are so many officials, and it is normal to hide a few great gods. But I don't understand how an entire unit can be hidden in the list of institutions! How can this salary be opened? ”
"Oh, we didn't hide it." The director beckoned, and Ah Guang immediately helped him open the beer in front of him, "We have always been there, the Immortal Alliance has a unified external name in the government, you can often hear it, maybe you haven't paid attention to it." ”
"Huh?" Hao Yun was shocked, "No, what's it called?" Dragons? ”
The director poured a full bottle of wine and looked at him deeply: "We are called, the relevant departments. ”
"! Believe! ”
