The black-robed man continued to say this, but Gou Ke had begun to completely ignore it. The more he continued, the more serious the stagnant feeling in Gou Cao's head became. So much so that it began to be a little painful.

The man stopped talking suddenly, just turned around and looked at Gou Ke fixedly. The hall was as quiet as it had been at the beginning. Gou Cao's head suddenly returned to a clear state.

"The return of the Broken God is inevitable, and everyone has to return. But you are an enviable exception. The man reached over and lifted his harsh chin. Gou Cao tried to dodge, but found that his body was completely unable to move. He could only let the black-robed man's face hidden under the mask scrutinize him carefully.

"What do you mean?" The man's overly approaching face made Gou Ke feel a little chilly.

"I don't have to explain it to you, do I?" There was a hint of amusement in the black-robed man's words. "But I know you must be afraid of something."

"......" Gou Ke didn't respond, and what the man said was a little incompatible. But considering the eerie reliefs that can make people lose their value just by looking at them, it's not surprising that there's a neurotic here.

"Death." Spit out two words heavily, then pause, then let go of Gou's jaw. "Especially senseless deaths. That's something all people in the flesh will fear, isn't it? ”

"......" Gou Cao knew that this guy was dominating the rhythm of the conversation, but this person seemed to have the power to control the mood of others, so Gou Cao inexplicably had no motivation to change the situation. Instead, I can't help but think of the scene where Arirang was shot in the head by a sniper in front of him the day before yesterday.

I was so close to death.

If you die there, no one will remember you, and everything you have done to survive will be in vain.

Gou Cao is not afraid of death, Gou Cao has also heard many stories of martyrs, and tried to imagine that if there is really a national disaster one day, he must also sacrifice his life for the future of the country and the nation without hesitation. But that is when one's own death has a far greater meaning than one's own life. In that case, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

But now the world is in chaos, and I still haven't found something that can rely on the meaning of my existence, and if I die now, then I will die like an ant, worthless. So even if I die eventually, it must not be now.

Worthless, meaningless, mediocre death is what Gou Cao fears the most.

"Good." As if seeing some wavering in Gou's strict demeanor, the black-robed man chuckled, and then pointed to the relief behind him. "At the dawn of the universe, the gods of our machines united with the gods of flesh and desire to create the earth and humanity you are familiar with. Later, the mechanical god broke with the flesh god and fell into a great war, and the mechanical god was defeated, and was torn to pieces by the flesh god and scattered all over the place. In order to prevent the Flesh God from destroying the Earth, the Mechanical God used all his strength to seal the Flesh God with his last wreckage. For eons of time, we have been waiting for the return of our gods. ”

"Now the time is coming for him to bring many miracles when he returns." The black-robed man turned to look at Gou Ke again, "Like you." ”

"Me?"

"Yes, it is you, you are the creature of my god, the blade and the weakness of my god." The black-robed man paused. "But you're too weak now. Look at the way you look now, blinded by color, blinded by sound, misled by smell. It's all because of your current flesh and blood, imprisoning your power. ”

"A good place to start is that it looks like you've accepted some of the machinery in your body." The black-robed man said that he held up his mechanical arm. "My god told me that you have some way to restore your body, but you didn't do it to your arm, but replaced it with a machine, which means that you are not satisfied with the limitations of flesh and blood?"

"...... yes, after arriving at the Dunan base, Gou Ke can completely abandon that mechanical arm and use the medical module to restore his physical arm. But I haven't done this because I feel that the robotic arm is easy to use.

"So, why don't you take refuge in my gods, give up your physical body completely, and turn yourself into a machine completely?"

"...... yes, why not." If you have an iron brain, you won't be afraid of bullet headshots......

Well, agree...... Gou Ke was just about to speak, but a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart, so what he blurted out and what Fang Cai was thinking in his heart was diametrically opposed answers:

"No!"

"Don't be so quick to answer, it's not a question that needs an answer right away." The black-robed man smiled and said. "So, Mr. Gou Cao, I'm leaving, and it's a pleasure to talk to you."

As the black-robed man's voice fell, the sound of gears turning that Gou Ke had heard outside the pyramid-shaped building sounded again. At first faint, then more and more clear.

After a while, the walls around the hall began to gradually turn into glowing powder, drifting away in the wind. This tendency to powdering soon spread to Gou Cao's feet, and the last vestiges of the existence of the magnificent hall were under Gou Cao's gaze.

When he came back to his senses, the black-robed man was long gone. Gou Cao's head suddenly became a little lighter, as if some shackles had been untied.

Only then did Gou Cao realize Fang Cai's situation. The black-robed man seemed to have used some means to suppress his thoughts, causing him to follow the other party's guidance to think in the conversation, but he did not doubt the reasonableness of this, fortunately, the sudden sense of crisis in his heart at that time prevented him from agreeing to the other party, otherwise he didn't know what danger he would encounter.

As for the pyramid that suddenly disappeared, it may have made use of some kind of space technology.

In short, I can't believe the nonsense of the black-robed man.
