In Cuyahoga County, the United States, in a safe house built under an old-fashioned apartment, a silver-haired girl carefully changes gauze and medicine for the elderly around her.

The blood-stained gauze was placed in an empty paint bucket and lit, and the wrinkled old man squinted his slightly cloudy eyes, staring at the flames and black smoke in a daze.

"Uncle Liang." The silver-haired girl called softly, "Hungry? I'm going to cook porridge? ”

"It's okay, Uncle Liang is old, but he is not old enough to be scrapped, compared with the Vietnam War, this is called a flesh injury." Liang Bo shook his head, sighed, and asked, "Jinyu, that stinky boy from Ouyang, you haven't heard from you yet?" ”

"Nope." Luo Jinyu's eyes were gloomy, "Perhaps, he was worried that he would expose us, so he deliberately didn't contact us." ”

"Hey, it's a big deal, no one helps him, how many days can he hide on his own? Silly. Liang Bo sighed again, his eyebrows even more sparse in the light of the fire.

Luo Jinyu pursed her lips, suddenly felt something, turned around suddenly, and found that there was a person standing behind her at some point. After seeing the person's appearance clearly, Luo Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for this woman named Wen Yan, she and Liang Bo might have been cold in their bodies.

"The conditions are limited, and it will be settled." Wen Yan put down the shopping bag in his hand, which contained fast food and two bottles of cheap spirits bought in the fast food store.

Liang Bo glanced at it and smiled: "If you have wine to drink, then it is not exquisite." ”

"Thank you." Luo Jinyu bowed deeply to Wen Yan and repeated the words that had been said many times, "Thank you for helping us. ”

"You're welcome, helping you is also helping myself." Wen Yan pointed like a knife, and slashed at the wine bottle, the glass bottle made a crisp sound, and fell into the paint bucket with precision and grace along the curved parabola.

"Please." Wen Yan handed the wine to Liang Bo, then turned his head to look at Luo Jinyu, and said, "With the efficiency of Huaxia Guoan, it will be as short as a week or as long as half a month, they will definitely find a way to take us back to China, and if Ouyang Jie cannot be contacted by then, we must go back to Huaxia first." ”

"He ......"

Luo Jinyu was interrupted before she could speak.

"Whether to go or stay is his own choice."

"Hmm." Luo Jinyu nodded obediently, hesitated a few times and then plucked up the courage to ask, "I feel incomprehensible about everything that happened during this time, can you answer my doubts?" ”

Wen Yan poured a sip of wine, grabbed the hamburger and stuffed it into his mouth, without the slightest goddess posture and idol baggage, while chewing the bun and beef patty, he replied: "Ask whatever you want, as long as I know, I won't hide it from you, anyway, you will come into contact with these things sooner or later, instead of letting you be driven by curiosity to probe recklessly, it is better to tell you the truth directly." ”

After receiving permission, Luo Jinyu couldn't wait to ask the first question: "Who are those people, the people who bailed Christopher and instructed Christopher, and the people who intended to kidnap me?" ”

Wen Yan didn't speak, but glanced at Liang Bo, but he didn't show that he wanted to ask him to avoid it for the time being.

"The experience I've gained over the years has taught me that I should hide in another room and put on earplugs so that I don't get into trouble by hearing something I shouldn't be hearing."

Liang Bo shook the bottle with only half of the liquor left, and smiled very willfully: "But, I'm an old thing with half of my body in the ground, don't be afraid." ”

Wen Yan nodded, acquiesced in Liang Bo's audit qualifications, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "The person who instructed Christopher and the person who kidnapped you are both bounty hunters who collect money to work, and only the armed team that attacked the police in the city is directly related to the employer behind them. ”

"Excuse me, who is their employer?"

"A group of madmen who continue the garbage heritage, their symbol and spiritual totem is the 'Ouroboros', but it has nothing to do with Gnosticism and Hammy's Theosophy, they inherit the medieval disorder alchemy, believe that 'chaos is the only truth', believe that the human world should be in a state of war, chaos and order collapse forever, they claim that many large-scale wars in history, including two world wars, are their masterpieces, hehe, it is the same nature as those small-scale terrorist organizations who indiscriminately claimed terrorist attacks in order to become famous."

Wen Yan looked disdainful, and finally summed it up in four words: "Jumping beam clown." ”

Luo Jinyu only felt that after listening to this answer, there was another fog added to the mystery, she bit her lower lip and shook her head: "I...... I don't understand. ”

"Well, let me think about how to explain it to you."

After saying this, Wen Yan didn't seem to seriously think about how to explain it, but concentrated on eating the hamburger, and in just two minutes, he ate a Big Mac burger cleanly, as if there was a black hole between his lips.

"There is an extremely rare group of people in this world, who are the lucky ones favored by time, and they can predict the future through their own ways and props, such as ......"

Speaking of this, Wen Yan looked at Luo Jinyu with a smile.

A few softly whispered words fell in Luo Jinyu's ears, which was no less than a thunderous explosion, Luo Jinyu tightened her fingers and toes suddenly, her teeth dug deep into the **, and she bit out the smell of blood.

"For example, Ouyang Jie."

Hearing Ouyang Jie's name, Luo Jinyu felt that her soul had returned to her body, but she still didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Wen Yan.

"People like Ouyang Jie, I call them 'Tomorrow's Dominators'."

"Have you ever heard of the Old Dominators? In the Cthulhu Mythos, created by Howard Philip Lovecraft, there is an ancient and powerful group of beings composed of otherworldly unknown matter that once ruled the universe and dominated the old days in ancient times. ”

"Tomorrow's Dominator is the name of the old ruler, these people who can predict the future can use their knowledge and ability to dominate tomorrow, and there are strong and weak like the old rulers, the weakest can barely rewrite their own destiny, the midstream has the ability to dominate the future of a nation and even a world, the upstream often creates an era or even a civilization, and the strongest has the ability to create the world of tomorrow. What the future of this world looks like, it is up to them to decide. ”

"Hiccup." Liang Bo burped.

Luo Jinyu looked at Wen Yan with wide eyes, not sure if the other party was joking with her.

"Shocked? Can't believe it? Wen Yan seemed to remember something, and suddenly laughed out loud, "You have also seen the video that was uploaded to the Internet, right?" You know, in the era of martial arts, I didn't even have the qualifications to start a sect at a level like me. ”

Luo Jinyu realized that Wen Yan was not joking, and then she was so surprised that she didn't know what her expression should be.

One person and one sword killed dozens of bandits armed with firearms, fluttering in the rain of bullets and bullets and being unharmed, this is a divine skill that today's martial artists dare not imagine, and it is not surprising to be worshiped by all martial artists on the altar! Not qualified to start a sect? Doesn't that mean......

"You mean ......"

"Well, a long, long time ago, martial arts could be channeled, at that time, cold weapons dominated the battlefield, hot weapons had not yet appeared on the stage, powerful martial artists could fight against a hundred, and mages who practiced magic could manifest spirits and perform divine skills, guess where they learned their skills?"

"Tomorrow, the Dominator of Tomorrow?"

"Yes, when civilization moves towards a path, the Dominator will be decades or even hundreds of thousands of years ahead of others to see the future results, and the development direction of human civilization today points to the martial arts, and it may take hundreds of years to figure out a set of breathing and breathing methods for exercising internal organs and meridians—well, let's call it interstitial fluid—but the powerful Tomorrow's Dominator does not need to wait for hundreds of years, maybe he will be able to master it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then create a system, a civilization, so that more people can devote themselves to it. The more geniuses who learn this way, the more people will open up this path, and the more future those who will be able to see it. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Yan sighed.

"Human civilization has faced many forks in the road, and before ordinary people have great capabilities, it is often the dominant ones who decide which path human civilization will take. Once, we walked for a long time on martial arts and Shinto, only to turn a corner later. ”

"What happened?"

"I don't know, who knows." Wen Yan shook his head, "My father told a legendary story. He told me that hundreds of years ago, there was a ruler who decided that martial arts were narrow and had limited potential. He believed that only ordinary people, who are the cornerstones, could also be strong, and that humanity as a whole could be made stronger, and he believed that development ...... He believes that the development of science and technology can enable ordinary people to live a more prosperous life, and then increase the total population, with the growth of the population base, the ability to create new things by themselves, that is, to create the future of talent will also increase correspondingly, so that human civilization can go farther into the future. ”

"However, martial arts and Shinto are deeply rooted, and everyone pursues great power for themselves, and no one agrees with the idea of this ruler."

"So?" Luo Jinyu guessed the ending, but still couldn't believe it.

Therefore, he killed all the warriors who preached the mysteries, and only a few hermits who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests survived, and since then it has been the era of the end of the law. Martial arts, no longer able to pass through the mysteries. ”
