Chapter Twenty-Six: The Troublesome Ghost Shall Be a Savior
The summer nights of the earth are beautiful and illusory, and as a frequent visitor to the [Top 10 Tourist Planets List], the earth has been restored to its most perfect state after being destroyed and rebuilt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether it is the human race that currently inhabits the earth, or other alien races that have migrated to the earth, in order not to destroy the rebuilt environment, they have built comfortable enough houses in the sky and underground, and protected the ground as a garden.
It is true that a high level of civilization has brought unprecedented destruction, but once someone comes out to manage it and everyone agrees with it, then this bad situation will be greatly improved.
In addition, due to the fact that there are many alien nobles and wealthy people living on the earth, the space pirates and criminals dare not mess around on this blue planet, because it is easy to be wanted by the whole universe, so the earth can be said to be a symbol of peace.
On the other hand, in order not to be excessively invaded by other planets, the human race and sub-human race that originally inhabited the earth chose to form an alliance to negotiate with the immigrant aliens, and provided many special zones specially managed by the aliens themselves.
In the face of a common enemy, even countries that have struggled over interests in the past have turned enemies into friends in new alliances, trying to absorb foreign cultures while maintaining their original cultural characteristics.
In any case, many buildings on the ground are where wealthy people live, and ordinary people can of course live on the ground, but they are just some distance from the city center and downtown area, and the impact is not very large.
On the other hand, the sky and underground have become the first choice for many people, because the price is not expensive, and you can go to the mall and square on the ground at any time, which is very cost-effective.
However, the Galactic Monastery is located in the center of the Special Zone 1 of the Earth Administrative Alliance; After exiting the gate, you can see the highway and the city in all directions through a segregated block.
Although the Galactic Monastery was founded by humans, it also includes many non-human species, so it also covers an area of at least ten football fields, and many buildings have been built in different roles.
Occasionally, some eccentric people would come to sponsor the monastery and ask the monastery to build some ancient buildings for viewing purposes, but after the other party left, the buildings were abandoned, and it was quite improper to demolish them, so they stayed there.
This was also seen by some of the people who went to the monastery to ask for blessings, and when they returned, they spread rumors that there were strange houses built in the monastery for the gods to live in......
In fact, people nowadays are no longer interested in the past, and many of the architectural styles in the monastery are inherited from the past, rather than built and assembled with high-tech materials, which is not surprising.
Now Yahui was standing in front of a castle-like building, holding a kettle in his hand with a cautious expression on his face.
But when Yahui just climbed to the top of the stairs, he was attracted by the scene in front of him, he himself rarely came to such a place where he heard of ghosts.
Legend has it that it was built in gratitude to a philanthropist from a wealthy planet who was also a famous merchant on that planet, known as the 'Earl of the Castle', and the castle was built according to his ideas.
Ahui could see the vines in the hallway, where the bright moonlight reflected in it, making it appear even more verdant. When the breeze blows, it will shimmer like silver.
The trees planted in the courtyard rustled because of the wind, and the trees in the distance writhed gracefully, as if they were dancing a beautiful dance for the moonlit night.
There is a well-tended flower garden in the courtyard, and the fragrance wafting in the wind wafts into the nostrils, flowing into the bottom of the heart, blending with the silence of the night.
Yahui took a deep breath, as if he smelled the smell of a summer night, it had been a long time since he returned to Earth, and this sense of peace of mind had made him relax a lot recently.
If this castle has not been abandoned, then the original high foyer and magnificent gates, round arched windows and corner stone masonry will definitely make more people feel amazed, and there is a reason not to demolish it, representing the past culture of mankind and the inheritance of the present.
Yahui feels that the Galactic Monastery is not a 'righteous' organization, but it is definitely an organization that will not forget its roots, they inherit the past, identify with the present, and look forward to the future.
"Not good............!"
Yahui, who looked at his watch, found that the display screen already displayed [23:40], and he would definitely be blamed by Bishop Ito for wasting such time!
Walking quickly through the empty corridors of the castle and following the creaking stairs to the top floor, Yahui walked towards the edge of the top floor without the slightest tiredness.
Cheng Yahui can still easily deal with this point, that is, he has run through two football fields, but if he wants to pass through the entire monastery, Yahui will not do it, and it will be very troublesome to make a detour and show a certificate on the way.
Of course, that is also for ordinary people, because Yahui is very 'famous' in the Galaxy Monastery, so the authority he has is actually quite high.
The top floor of the castle was about twenty meters high, and Yahui saw an old man sitting on a recliner listening to music at the edge, and that was Bishop Ito.
"I brought the tea you wanted! Bishop Ito, why are you listening to the radio? Is there such a thing as a radio station in the near future? ”
"Don't distract from me, where the hell did you fool around on the way? Kept me waiting for half an hour! ”
"Because I helped a few nuns carry goods on the way, and so on! Don't beat me! It's really just a help! ”
Seeing Bishop Ito pick up the fan, Yahui hurriedly distanced himself from him.
"Stinky little ghost...... Hurry up and pour the tea out for me, it's not cold yet, is it? ”
"Of course, how can the latest thermos flask make the tea cold, and even if it gets cold, it can be reheated using its attached function."
Saying this, Ahui began to pour tea for Bishop Ito, and after pouring it, he sat down on the stone on the side.
The roof of the castle originally had stone statues and seats, but after it broke, it was moved nearby by Yahui to serve as a stool.
Hearing the sizzling sound of the radio, Yahui didn't think that there were so-called radio programs in this era, most of them were programs on holographic projection devices, and movies were too.
Sensing Ahui's gaze, Bishop Ito, who was drinking tea, turned on the channel of the radio, and changed from a one-man cross talk to a history lecture hall.
"Of course, radio programs still exist, but because the signal of high-end equipment is too strong, it will hinder the transmission of radio messages, but as long as you use some abandoned channels; Although the radio stations are all run by individuals, and most of them are audio tapes, it is interesting to listen to them. ”
"I personally haven't listened to it, but Bishop Ito's hobby is really getting bigger and bigger, and the memories of people will follow when they get old...... Not!!! ”
After being knocked on the head with a fan, Ahui found that the fan in Bishop Ito's hand actually had a telescopic function......
"You talk a lot, you stinky little ghost."
"Isn't it true that a lot of people have been saying that Bishop Ito is getting stranger and stranger, especially when he often rests in places like this that no one cares about, and where ghosts are rumored to be haunted. Bishop Ito used to be much more active than he is now, and I can also take this opportunity to travel to different places, and it's the best way to travel at public expense! ”
"Sixteen-year-old imp is still a little ghost, I can't even imagine what you'll be like when you reach twenty, you must be a shocking troublemaker."
Bishop Ito sighed, sipping hot tea, continuing to answer the question asked by Ahui
"As for ghosts, there are a lot of abandoned buildings in the monastery, but they also have a purpose...... It's the best way to hide some secrets. ”
"Hiding a secret? Personally, I've investigated the research projects of the monastery, and found that some of them don't have a special research institute, so ......."
"Don't talk too much, little ghost, it's good that you know these things yourself, if you let others know, it will hurt others; So think about it before you speak, your identity is not ordinary. ”
"It's a bit tired of being always used as a witness to 'miracles', and I told you it was just an accident! Well, I can't deny the benefits that this identity brings to me. ”
Bishop Ito, who raised the corners of his mouth, let out a breath, he looked at Yahui's somewhat frustrated expression, and said with a smile
"You have everything you have now that many people can't get in a lifetime, including me; As a representative of the 'miracle' that has befallen here, as a mortal who has been favored by the gods, your presence has given many people hope that the confused will find their way forward. ”
"Uh-huh...... That's right......"
Yahui, who nodded like garlic, knew that Bishop Ito was right, but he also had his own troubles.
"Being abducted by an alien girl, kidnapped, and used as food in all kinds of ways, once you go out, you have to be scared, and you can't relax no matter how you think about it, right? And the monastery was populated with more and more aliens, so I had to take it with me wherever I went. ”
Yahui took out a gray mask from his arms, this mask was a random one he bought from the Internet, it was neither handsome nor ugly, it was a normal mask.
Wearing a mask will make people feel sick all day long, so Yahui chose such a mask.
"Stinky little ghost, you're a welcome sign."
"Not really! Didn't Bishop Ito send someone to save me that day? I was almost stripped and eaten by ten races! Spiritually! I'm not disgusted with the Zerg, nor do I look down on them, but I just ...... Species are fundamentally different! ”
"Aren't adolescent imps all fantasizing about being popular? You are a precursor to the pinnacle of life. ”
"Bishop Ito is talking nonsense again, I didn't come here to let you play tricks."
"No one dares to talk to me like that except for you, a stinky little ghost......"
"Hmph, stay here and be careful of being possessed by ghosts."
"One thing I want to tell you about the apparition I just mentioned, have you forgotten the knowledge again?"
Bishop Ito put down his teacup, then turned off the radio that was a little muffled, and continued admiring the moonlight in the castle
"Just like the radio receives radio waves, they can be connected to each other because of the frequency relationship, and the so-called ghosts themselves are invisible to us, and the brain receives radio waves from the outside world to produce images, you know?"
"Understood, meaning that the brain waves and the ghost are synchronized to see the ghost?"
"That's right, ghost...... No, it should be said that it is a ghost species, they are most likely a collection of human and other biological waves, a new species born out of nothingness; For us, the ghost species may have more knowledge. ”
It's like ...... Bishop Ito pondered for a moment and continued
"It's like a by-product of the collective subconscious of living beings, who possess knowledge outside of ourselves."
"Simply put, a hybrid creature?"
"There is no definite proof of their existence so far, after all, they are a rare alien race like the dragon race, but if you can get in touch, you will definitely be able to gain new knowledge."
Bishop Ito may be on the hunt for new knowledge.
Yahui is the same, he is actually looking for a way to relieve himself of the 'blessing'.
Because in Yahui's view, the 'blessing' he possesses is a disguised and powerful curse, and there must be a way to unravel it.
"To find the magician......"
"Little ghost, are you interested in magicians?"
"Of course, I've heard that there are magicians in the monastery, but most of them are wandering on other planets."
"Because they know that they can't find more magical information by staying on Earth, and researchers will also use them as experimental subjects, studying things like 'magic', and intend to explain them by scientific means, such as 'quantum bubbles'."
"There's a new term......"
Yahui likes to collect knowledge, which does not mean that he is interested in any knowledge.
"Speaking of Yahui, have you read all the articles, knowledge, and drafts that you want to use in your recent speeches? Memorize them all. ”
"Those things ............"
As a 'chosen one' who has been blessed by the gods, Yahui is often asked to give speeches to believers, but the ultimate goal is to get donations from them in the name of 'redeeming one's own body'.
Of course, the monastery will also sprinkle some holy water that has been blessed by the gods on the devotees in order to remove the impurities of the world from them.
"You, but you have to be realised, don't always live in your own world."
"Of course I understand...... By the way, what about Otilia? Does Bishop Ito know where she is? There has been no reply from her lately. ”
"She's just like you, she has things to do."
Bishop Ito didn't say anything more, but asked Yahui to pour him a second cup of tea.
"Many people regard you as a savior, this is your luck and misfortune, if you don't bear it, the consequences can be very serious."
"Hope itself is not something given by others."
"However, there is no hope in this era, and your 'light' is a kind of consolation."
Unreliable troublesome characters also have the possibility of becoming saviors. (To be continued.) )
