Chapter Twenty-Three: The Doomed Wedge
"Victoria." Luna muttered to herself, "Could it be ......? She seemed to understand something, and bowed deeply.
"As the royal family worshipped by your ancestors, we are long gone. As a pioneer in the history of human industry, I once promoted the progress of the entire human society, and I was very happy at that time, and I couldn't help but feel happy as a royal family, so I entered another world with this feeling......" Her expression was a little sad, "Until I was reawakened by people in a systematic pattern, I felt that I was saving this human society and the era of human technology, but I never expected that I was ruining this world......"
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Don't be afraid. I just want to talk to you...... Or through you to save your future world. She smiled at me. At this moment, a warm motherly power enveloped Luna, and the fear in her heart vanished incredibly. As Queen Victoria raised her arm, the ceiling of the room immediately turned into the sky. At this moment, her originally bright face quickly tightened, and an indescribable sadness was revealed from it.
"Listen to it, feel it."
For a moment, the massive image nearly knocked Luna down, and then she saw the scene clearly: magnificent mushroom clouds rose everywhere on the earth, one after the other, strangling people to ashes with the fear of death, and after the explosion, the corpses were scattered everywhere, and the survivors survived with great difficulty.
Luna's mind slowly lost track of her vision, and the imaging speed was unusually fast, with a meteorite falling to Earth in the previous frame, and the "Tsar" nuclear explosion of the artificial sun in the next frame. Then, she clearly saw the times she was in, and saw a bunch of people indulging in the ethereal world of Liwei; Then, she saw a large number of metal-like machines and devices resembling humans invading the Earth, strangling the entire human race; Eventually, the sun contracted rapidly, and the heat instantly wiped out Venus, Mercury, the Moon, and even the world they live in: Earth.
Luna's brain is a little confused, she clearly sees people's past and future, and she realizes that this is not a task in the virtual world that she sees, and that the only thing she sees is that people end up in fragmentation, fleeting, and then destruction.
Is this the fate that humanity cannot escape?
For a moment, Luna couldn't accept the reality in front of her, and with a "click", she fell to her knees.
"Even my ancestors gave the technology to future generations." "But it brings humanity closer to the abyss of hell." The world burns to the ground until everything is gone. We give you the power of technology, but no matter how you grasp it, no matter how evil your hearts are, technology always gives you the right to choose, the right to choose to live. So you keep rebuilding the world after the apocalypse, and after countless epochs, it has finally become the world you know and live in, so what I want to talk to you about today," she paused, "I want you to make sure for this planet, that you see this tragedy of extinction not happening." ”
Luna looks up at the sky, and this time she sees a horizon. There are temples and statues of great men, stone walls carved with brilliant reliefs, parchment scrolls piled up in the library, rockets, warships, cities, music, dances, steam-spewing trains, four-wheeled cars, and high-speed bullet trains, all of which I cannot discern from ancient civilizations, but what is certain is that they are the result of the ingenuity of human civilization.
"But now we, humanity, are about to go to ruin." "There will soon be a war in your world that can destroy human civilization once again, so Luna, although you have only mortal strength, I want to pin my hope on you, so that you will become the pioneer and savior of human society, and you will lead people, science and technology to the path of peace and stability, and my words will be there for you." With that, the VR limiter in her hand returned to Luna's neck, and in addition to that, she had a blue plastic-like bracelet on her hand, and a sword on her waist.
The words sent Luna deep in thought, and she looked up at Queen Victoria intently.
"May my words bring hope." Victoria continued, "You have to pick up the pace, time is running out now. You have to stop the war. ”
"War?" Luna asked, "Who caused it?" ”
"It's up to you to find it yourself, Savior." With that, the whole room began to darken, and even the light gradually faded. Now only Luna, Victoria, and the stationary Alice and Bertha remain.
"Now, you and your little buddy must get out of here, I've given you the information, and the rest is entirely up to you, and we can't help you more." She said, "In order to prevent the devastating technology in the ruins from spreading, I must destroy the ruins now, Luna." She smiled at Luna, "Let's see you again." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the ruins began to shake violently, the ceiling began to collapse, and Victoria slammed the scepter in her hand to the ground in hatred, and a black abyss appeared behind the three of them, and they fell.
"Follow the path of the Plane Tunnel, Black Wolf, this tunnel will lead you out of the past, remember my words...... The future of humanity depends on you......" Her voice grew weaker and weaker until she fell silent.
After that, everything around them fell into darkness and silence, and Luna took the opportunity to grab the hands of Alice and Bertha who had passed out to prevent the three from scattering, and eventually, they came to a place of light, and we came out.
It's an ordinary basement: empty, silent, as if nothing had happened.
Alice clutched her head and staggered to her feet, she looked around and asked, "Where is this?" After she said that, Bertha stood up in the same movement as she did.
Luna looked around, a sight attracted her, she walked over, and then she saw a pool of blood, Luna continued on, and then she found Mr. Charles Robert lying there, who was still very arrogant and now nothing more than a dying man twisted in blood.
Luna hurriedly walked over, picked him up, and said, "Mr. Charles, what's going on!" She looked at the gaping wound in his chest and continued, "Quick! Alice! Luna yelled behind her, and Luna wanted them to bring bandages and healing potions.
However, Charles grabbed my hand and said, "Don't bother...... Luna ......"
"But ......"
"Congratulations on making it through," he smiled, "but they're here......"
"What the hell is going on!"
He paused for a moment, then coughed up two drops of blood, "Yuri and I stayed in this room all the time you left, and I wanted to wait for you to come back to celebrate, and then apologize for my action......," he said, "I'm sorry, I teleported you to the ruins." ”
"Why did you do that?" Luna asked.
"There's something you have to know." He smiled and said, "I promised your father, it was your father who created me, your father is my benefactor, no matter what happens, I will help you......" After saying that, he coughed up two more drops of blood, and at the same time, his body began to weaken, leaving only his elbow strength.
"Mr. Charles, don't say it." After Luna finished speaking, she called Alice again, but Mr. Charles stopped her, "My true body is long gone, I'm just an NPC to guide you, so please don't waste the potion......"
"However, I couldn't save Mira, and I can't stop saving you." Luna said with tears in her eyes, "You're dead, how can I explain to her......"
"......No," he said, "she's still ......."
Luna was a little silent, but he didn't have time to give her a chance to think, and he continued, "Listen to Luna, an hour ago, I was attacked, Adolf's team came, and they threatened Yuri to give them the Sword of Victoria, but I gave them false information......"
"Why?" Luna asked. But Charles's eyelids darkened more and more, his pupils slowly widened, and his body temperature dropped suddenly.
After about thirty seconds, he spoke again, "Luna, I can't see anymore, and I won't be able to hear it soon, so I can finally ask you,
"What?" Luna asked, crying.
"What was Mira's expression like before she died in that accident......
Luna's tears lingered in her eyes any longer, and tears ran down Luna's cheeks.
"Don't cry, or I'll leave with regrets." Mr. Charles said with a smile.
Luna straightened her throat and wiped away her tears, "She left with a smile......
"Uh-huh......" he said, and Luna felt the hand he had clenched lose its strength for a moment.
"Goodbye, Mr. Charles Robert." Luna wiped away her tears, then closed her eyes with her hand, and he smiled, and he left, with a smile on his face, "Peace be upon you." With that, Luna placed his body on the ground, and as time passed, Mr. Charles's body slowly turned into light and drifted away in the air, leaving only a chip on the ground.
That night, Luna picks up the chip, finds an open space around the chamber with Alice and Bertha, places the chip down, and then fills it with dirt to seal it in.
