"Keep going, don't do anything stupid." The man who had been sent here pointed his pistol at him, then flicked the key to the cell hanging from his waist and said in a threatening tone.

After Gou Ke and Wu Zhe and Meng Jie arrived at their destination, the corpse chasers detained them in three separate cells. Before entering the cell, Gou Cao's blindfold was deliberately removed, giving him a chance to see Wu Zhe and Meng Jie being sent to the other two cells and locked.

At that time, Gou Cao still couldn't understand the meaning of their move, but when Gou Cao was brought here with a hood this morning, Gou Cao probably understood the purpose - the key on this person's waist could open the cell where Wu Zhe and Meng Jie were kept.

As for why he sent Gou Cao here, Gou Cao didn't understand.

In front of Gou Ke now is a deep man-made tunnel half a meter wide and three meters high. However, this tunnel is not a natural cave on the mountainside, but the entrance to a pyramid-shaped building made up of small parts such as rotating gears and transmission rods, so that you can hear the dense "click, click" sound like the autumn leaves falling to the ground, and its magnificent and exquisite architectural style has to be admired by the strict people who are still in a state of imprisonment.

But the more this happens, the more worried Gou Ke is about the tunnel in front of him.

After pushing Gou Ke in, the man who had sent him closed the door. The tunnel was plunged into darkness. The "click, click" sound was completely isolated from the door.

Darkness and silence. Just as the universe has not yet been born or has long since passed away.

Unlike the strange tunnels and intricate mechanisms you might expect, the interior of this exaggerated entrance to the building is a little more primitive.

In the dark, Gou Cao tentatively touched the wall, it was cold and smooth, like marble, but it didn't feel like it when he touched it carefully. And every time his footsteps began to echo in this long, narrow space, Gou Ke could feel the wall move like water ripples.

The claustrophobic and eerie environment made Gou Cao a little uneasy, so he tried to cut through a part of the wall with a subspace storage device to see what was inside. It was found that after each attempt to cut, there was only some extra air in the subspace storage device at most. But the wall was undamaged.

I suppressed my emotions a little, and as I walked forward, the walls began to feel a little rougher, and they had the texture of ordinary stones. The tunnel gradually widened, and Gou Cao saw some faint light in front of him, so he didn't stop any longer, and accelerated towards the light source.

Walking through a certain node of the tunnel, like the cold that suddenly smashed when I walked out of the air-conditioned room in summer, the light with some golden glow instantly covered the harsh vision, as if that node had the ability to block light and darkness.

At this time, the tunnel in front of Gou Ke had been widened into a corridor more than five meters wide, and under the light of an unknown light source, the high walls on both sides were covered with murals of various formats: some depicted grand war scenes, men armed with spears and stone axes fighting under two huge figures, and the remains of severed fingers were all over the ground; Some are huge machines that are worshipped by the multitude; Some are scenes of the mechanical being fighting a beautiful woman with a snake tail......

Walking further, Gou Cao came to a hall. In the middle of the hall stood a black-robed man. With his back to Gou Cao, he looked up at the huge relief on the wall in front of him. In the relief, a mechanical body and a snake-tailed woman descend on a strange planet and then create all things and humans. The reliefs on either side are a little weird and obscure, but Gou Ke can vaguely see that the snake-tailed woman has dismembered the mechanical body and thrown the last bit of his wreckage into the sea.

When Gou Ke was only more than ten meters away from the man, the man suddenly turned around. Gou Ke only saw that the man's face was illuminated with an ellipsoidal transparent curved mask, but inside the mask was not a human face, but a swarm of golden particles that were constantly changing and dancing like flames.

"It's finally been you, son of fragmentation." The man said, his voice as emotionless as a machine.

"My name is Gou Cao." Gou Cao corrected that he didn't like people to make a name for him without his consent. But he remembered that the iron-masked man in the auto repair shop had also called himself a broken son before he died. But it doesn't matter, what matters is that he has to figure out what the person in front of him is calling him to do, and only when he knows what the other person's purpose is, can he act in his best favor accordingly.

"A name is just a name after all, each of us is a part of the Broken God, and we will eventually return and attain perfection." Nothing else could be heard in the man's words.

“……”

"People always have the illusion that machines can't make mistakes. In fact, parts wear out, electric currents leak, and electronics can make calculation errors...... So machines make mistakes, don't they? It's just that machines are much less likely to make mistakes than humans. The man turned his back, and the speaker sounded completely unrelated to the current scene, "At least, it was a mechanical mistake not to choose to execute you immediately. ”

"......" A feeling of stagnation hit Gou Cao's head, heavily, little by little, depriving Gou Cao of the ability to think, just like when he faced the noisy cross-section of the world document when he hadn't slept for a long time. In this feeling, Gou Cao didn't want to respond at all.

Seeing that Gou Ke did not respond, the man continued to withdraw some irrelevant topics on his own, as if he was completely in a state of self-talk.

The small self-talk was like the sound of a mosquito in his ears when he was about to sleep, and he was disturbed by what he said, so he interrupted him and asked straight to the point, "So, what did you get me here for?" ”

"Ah, yes, this ......" the man turned again. looked at Gou Ke squarely.

“……”

"I've been a little confused lately." After a moment of silence, the man continued, "Once upon a time, we were made perfect and perfect as part of God. But one day, all people were separated from their bodies, and our gods were broken and all beings were conceived. Now our God needs to be restored, and we will eventually return to Him. ”

“……”

"But we are now independent individuals, are we, even though we were the most complete when we were a part, but now that we have a mind and a life of our own, in this case should we really give up all this, go back to my God, and become part of His unconscious again?"
