The surrounding cardinal theological congregation bowed their heads and drew crosses on their chests to ask for the Lord's repentance, while a loyal knight of the round table was so angry when he heard such explicit words that he even drew his sword, and was about to chop the future man with the electrode: "Dare to insult the Pope!" ”

Hoanlison stretched out his hand to stop the Knights of the Round Table, he smiled helplessly, and said respectfully, "The Pope is still a virgin. ”

"Ahh Is it not her, who is it? Or rather... It's just about ability, not about personal life? ... But Luo Wei often overeats, eating more than the pigs in the institute... Could it be a coincidence..."Future touched the electrodes on his head, and a person was muttering something inconsequential.

Huo Anlisen smiled and said, "Chief Master, if there is nothing else, then we..."

"Ah, one last thing!" Future looked at Huo Anlisen with wide eyes and asked curiously, "Son of God, do these four words have any special meaning for you or for your Cross Church?" ”

The cardinals and the Knights of the Round Table looked at each other, but Hoanrisson kept smiling and looking at the future, and the atmosphere was silent.

Just as he was about to ask a second question in the future, the voice of the staff came from there: "Everyone, the keystone has arrived!" ”

"Glory to my Lord." Hoanlison once again took the hand of the future, gave him a farewell kiss on the back of his hand, and led people to the exhibition stand.

...

Delegations from all parties gathered in front of the stage, and the keystone more than two meters high was brought to the center in a sophisticated and secure exhibition box in the transmission of mechanical axles.

When the covered black cloth was lifted, time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone held their breath in unison.

The Keystone does not directly touch the exhibition box, but is suspended in the air in a mysterious force, slowly rising and falling, its whole body is translucent, presenting a curve that is so beautiful that even the master will be amazed, the extremely smooth surface reflects the faces of the people, and the dreamy glimmer is like a legendary gem, interpreting the true beauty to the human world.

This is the Keystone, the hope of the Honkai Era, the future of the entire human world.

At this moment, the scientific researchers of the Quartet were all boiling, they were huddled together regardless of nationality, talking to each other, you came and went, using all the knowledge they had learned all their lives to guess the truth of the keystone, one by one, their eyes were bright, their eyes were fanatical, if it weren't for the guards in front of them, they would have rushed up to touch the miracle brought by this cube now.

However, among the boiling scientific researchers, the future, who has always been extremely fanatical about new things, maintained an eerie calm, the pair of golden eyes stared directly at the keystone, her breathing slowly became fast and disordered, and the two electrodes next to her head also flashed a little spark, and the whole person even unconsciously took a step back.

Leng Kite noticed this abnormality, and in her impression, if she yelled now, cried wolf, or even fainted excitedly in the future, she would feel normal, but this strange calmness made her very jealous.

Leng Kite walked to the future and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" You don't look happy at all. ”

"It's watching me." The golden pupil of the future stared directly at the Keystone and said faintly, "It's watching you, too." ”

Leng Kite was stunned for a moment and looked at the keystone, but from the smooth surface, she could only see her own reflection, and there was nothing else superfluous, she frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Future's eyes sank like the sea, she unconsciously clenched her fists, and her voice revealed an extremely dangerous signal: "The existence behind the Keystone, it is watching all of us..."

...

After half an hour of exhibition, the research on the Keystone officially began.

The institute is located in a deserted area, but the sky above it has become the busiest shipping route, with a steady stream of special planes from various forces arriving to bring all kinds of materials and equipment needed for research, as well as necessary security personnel, to ensure that this group of scientists can carry out research smoothly.

On the return plane, Leng Kite was a little absent-minded, she picked a window seat and squinted at the scene outside the window.

The attendants brought by Leng Kite had already prepared wine and snacks and placed them on the small table in front of Leng Kite, he glanced at Leng Kite and said respectfully, "General, please dine." ”

Leng Kite sighed, still looking out the window, but beckoned to the attendant and said, "Come here." ”

The attendant came closer and asked, "What do you command?" ”

Leng Kite pointed out the window and said, "Look at that." ”

The attendant poked his head out and looked out the window, it was already night, the bright stars were dense in the deep sky, like pearls sprinkled on black cloth, and like ancient treasures that had been passed down for thousands of years, exuding a bright and magnificent halo, making people can't help but think, in this boundless universe, they are so quiet and deep, they have been shining for thousands of years, stretching into a magnificent beauty, no matter which direction you look at, there is a magnificent sea of stars.

Leng Kite asked, "Are the stars beautiful?" ”

It was not only the true thought in his heart, but also to echo the cold kite, the attendant gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful." ”

Immediately afterwards, Leng Kite said something that made the attendant a little frightened: "What if they are a pair of eyes? ”

The attendant was stunned for a long time, and said, "I'm sorry, General, I haven't read much here, but I've heard that the stars we can see are all cosmic objects such as stars, planets, comets, and white dwarfs. ”

"What if they were eyes?" Leng Kite's voice was firm, she looked at the attendants, and said deeply, "You are looking at them, and they are looking at you." ”

The attendant shuddered and said, "That's terrible." ”

Leng Kite waved his hand, signaling for the attendant to retreat.

After the attendant left, Leng Kite sat alone in the seat, she pressed the button next to her, turned off all the lights in the cabin, and immersed herself in the darkness of no one alone, in her eyes, everything disappeared, leaving only the night sky outside the window that had existed for thousands of years.

The darkness is penetrating, and before looking at it for a while, the heartbeat of the cold kite gradually slowed down, and the blood flow was no longer turbulent in the dark night, and it slowly fell asleep, as if it melted into this lightless night.

This night is an ordinary night for many people, but for Leng Kite, she will think about this day from time to time in the second half of her life.

Whether it was a real sight or a sleepy dream, Leng Kite couldn't tell the difference, she only remembered, for a moment, when she blinked, the stars in the night turned into one eye after another, staring at her fiercely from all directions, all the time, like a shadow...
