Chapter 3 Cause and Effect
After watching for a long time, the husband took him on his way, and in silence and silence took him to a simpler apartment, and then left on his own.
Mo Tian glanced around at his surroundings.
In this room, where you can see the panoramic view, a variety of high-tech products are intricately listed. Several 3D projection wall charts are lined up on the walls, ion monitors hanging upright, and a huge black object. In general, everything that should be in the home is here.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and it is nothing more than that.
"It's quite well equipped."
Mo Tian looked around at the objects in the room, sometimes lifting the remote control, sometimes changing the view of the wall wallpaper, and was very happy. Eventually, his gaze fell on the blackened behemoth at the very back of the room.
The size of this behemoth, although not particularly large, occupies almost a third of the entire room in this extremely small apartment. Mo Tian was really a little curious, what was it, he would rather take up such a large volume than put it in the room.
"Void...... Draft...... God of War Network! ”
Mo Tian stepped forward, carefully observed the nameplate of the instrument engraved on the front, and read it out in a low voice. But when he read the last word, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his indifferent face.
"This thing has been made?" His eyes narrowed slowly.
The virtual God of War network, once rated as the greatest invention of the 29th era, the great reputation of the second world of human life, was jointly completed by all countries in the world, and the link area can even cover the entire earth.
According to rumors, this great cross-century product can dive into human brain waves, perfectly create a virtual world of human beings, and is the main carrier of human entertainment and sports in the new century.
Although the world was destroyed by the Hellgod Throne before this product could be released to the public, its function and honor were completely popular all over the world at a certain moment, setting off a wave of fanaticism. Mo Tian naturally knew a little bit.
"But this thing has only been invented now, is it still useful?"
Stroking the hard metal shell, Mo Tian felt the warmth exuding from the top that did not belong to metal, and muttered.
As a highly entertaining item, this instrument, if invented before the cataclysm, would have sparked a buying frenzy. But if it is placed at this time, for a human society that has just experienced a catastrophic blow, food and clothing have not yet been fully solved, and many people will buy it?
"Of course it works, it's not for entertainment anymore."
Rattle!
At this moment, the door of the apartment was pushed open, and an old man wearing glasses walked in from outside the door, looked at Mo Tian, who was pondering the instrument and muttering, and said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?"
Mo Tian just glanced back calmly, as if he had already expected the arrival of the other party, and his attention continued to fall on the instruments under his hand.
"Although the virtual God of War network is originally intended to be used as an entertainment device, since it can simulate a real second world, it naturally has the ability to provide some conditions that the real world cannot provide." The old man laughed slowly.
"For example?" Mo Tian wondered.
"It's like a martial arts competition." The old man looked at him intently, and the thief laughed. "Do you think that if a person of your level were at war with someone in reality, how sure would he be able to stop in time at a critical moment?"
"Since it's a competition, I'm naturally prepared to be injured." Mo Tian said lightly, but his brows were slightly raised. "Do you mean that this instrument can fully project people's physical fitness into the virtual network, so that people can fight under virtual rules?"
"Hey, that's nature. Everyone who lives here now will be equipped with such a machine, and the actual combat training can be realized through the network, and the effect reflected is also excellent. The old man's wrinkled face showed a smug smile.
"Really? If you have the chance, you really have to give it a try, and the virtual battle seems to be quite fun. Mo Tian touched the metal surface of the instrument, revealing an interested look.
The old man looked at him with a smile and did not speak.
After half a ring, Mo Tian suddenly put down the palm on the instrument, turned his head, and asked the old man.
"By the way, Old Man Fu, I have something I have always wanted to ask you, how did you know that there would be a disaster a year ago?"
Mo Tian was very strange in his heart, the arrival of the Demon Hell Divine Throne was very sudden, without any warning, even experts from all over the world did not find anything unusual. And how did the other party know that this disaster was about to happen?
Let's take another 10,000 steps back, the scale of the war fortress he is in now and the strength of the defense are definitely not something that can be built overnight. In other words, the upper echelons of this fortress must have known some secrets about the Hellgod Throne, which is why they were able to build such a flawless shelter in advance.
Fu Lao pondered for a while, raised his head, sighed lightly, and said, "If I say that we have deciphered a certain fragment of a stone slab that can predict the future, do you believe it?" ”
"Predicting the future?" Mo Tian raised his eyebrows, his expression a little subtle.
Predicting the future, I'm afraid that only these ancient feudal emperors would believe it. However, for a human being like him in the twenty-ninth century, these things have long been proven, and no one would believe such a thing.
To use a popular saying in the 29th century, it is: "Devils believe!"
However, at this time, one of the great experts who can prove science best tells him at this time that the fortress of war was built through some prophecy, isn't it ridiculous?
"Tell me, don't you tell me that you built such a big sanctuary of salvation with just a few prophecies that you think are illusory, right?" Mo Tian found a soft sofa, sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Fu Lao with interest.
"Of course not! You think it's child's play to build something this big! Fu Lao glared at him twice, and two snorts of dissatisfaction came out of his nose.
"Twenty years ago, a human archaeological team excavated two golden stones at the remains of the Mayan civilization. These two stone tablets are engraved with many ancient characters with distorted lines, one of which has some connection to the origin of modern writing, so historians quickly deciphered it. ”
However, the above things are very funny and emotional, what volcanic eruptions, what stars fall, everyone thinks that this is the delusion and fiction of the ancients, and no one believes it. However, as time went on, something got weird. ”
As he spoke, Old Fu's expression became slightly heavy.
"The eruption of Mount Sylnis, the re-eruption of Nebnur, the fall of the orbit of the planet Labras, and so on began to prove a fact...... The deciphered prophecy of the golden slate has been fulfilled! ”
After receiving the news, scientists from all over the world went crazy, and it took only half a year to decipher all the remaining words on the slate, however, in addition to recording some insignificant natural events on the slate, the focus of the spearhead was the same prophecy...... The destruction of the new humanity, the revival of ancient civilizations. ”
"The destruction of the new humanity and the revival of the ancient civilization?" Mo Tian let out a surprised voice.
Fu Lao nodded, "That's right, it's because of this that the seven major shelters jointly created by governments around the world were born. These seven shelters are almost the crystallization of the highest human intelligence and technology, and make perfect use of the spatial folding architecture. As long as the entire planet doesn't explode, nothing will happen to the people in the shelter. ”
"So, are you fully prepared for this cataclysm?" Mo Tian was very curious, with a ten-year preparation period, was there no way to deal with this disaster?
Fu Lao's face was full of a wry smile and said.
"You don't want to, we only know that there will be a disaster through the stone slab, but no one knows what kind of disaster it is."
"These desolate beasts that have descended, ordinary thermal weapons have no effect on them at all, and it feels like tickling the other party, completely ineffective. Even if it is a nuclear weapon, it can only rely on the nuclear fission in the central area to deal a blow to the beasts in a small area. ”
"If it weren't for the researchers who deciphered another golden stone tablet in time, even if there was a refuge as a base, humans would only be reduced to food under the claws of the beast."
"If I'm not mistaken, the other gold tablet should be about the use of some ancient weapons, right?" At this time, the corners of Mo Tian's mouth curled slightly, stared at Fu Lao with interest, and said.
A look of surprise appeared on Fu Lao's face.
"You know? I don't think I told you, huh? Besides, the rumors of holy relics have never been transmitted to the civilian level? ”
"So you call this thing a holy relic." Mo Tian slowly stood up from the sofa, lowered his head, stretched out his left hand in front of him, his five fingers opened slightly, and the light blue light suddenly shone in his palm.
Scold!
With a sharp sound of breaking the air, the blue light suddenly condensed in the air, and the stars and points of light gathered wildly, forming a long sword as soft as moonlight in Mo Tian's hand.
The graceful body of the sword, like the sword hilt pattern condensed by the moonlight, under the shining light, the temperament of the sword blade is like a touch of silver moon, clear and noble, perfect and sharp.
Seeing the appearance of this sword, Fu Lao's pupils shrank suddenly, but his expression, which was quite relaxed just now, suddenly became serious, he took a breath of cool air, and slowly spit out a few words from his mouth.
"The holy sword of the moon god, the wrath of Artemis."
He asked nervously with a solemn expression.
"Where did you get this sword?"
Contrary to Fu Lao's expression, Mo Tian's expression was very indifferent, and he waved the long sword twice easily, the blade of the sword cut through the air and made a sharp buzzing sound, and a strand of hair floating in the air was only lightly rubbed by the sword wind, and it was completely twisted into pieces.
Finally, Mo Tian stopped waving the sword body, looked at the sword body carefully, and said lightly.
"I got it by chance, because I felt it was very easy to use, so I kept it with me."
"However, the only thing I'm not used to is that every time I use it, I lose my strength for a while, which makes me unhappy."
Fu Lao said with a wry smile on his face. "Do you know how long our people have been looking for this holy relic? It's been six years, but I didn't expect it to be in your hands. ”
Holy relics, things that have been used by legendary heroes or gods, or weapons, or armor, and even have concepts that are not even physically armed, but everything that can be called a holy relic, each of them has some kind of mysterious power.
"The Moon Divine Sword, the legendary artifact used by the moon god Artemis, is said to extract unimaginably large energy every time it is used, and almost every owner of it is drained of life force and died, but I didn't expect it to be in your mouth, it was just a little out of strength."
Fu Lao's old face showed a wry smile and said.
According to all the scholars who have learned about this thing, they know very well that with the nature of this sword, even if it is called a magic sword, I am not exaggerating, but because his first owner is the moon god who represents holiness, so there is a holy sword.
"Hehe, smoke my life force, does it dare?" Mo Tian smiled meaningfully, stared at the silver-white sword body, and said slowly. "You said yes, right?"
"What does it mean to ask a sword, even if you subdue this magic sword, it will not take your life too much, and it will not respond to anyone other than the first master, let alone threaten it like you." Fu Lao blinked his old eyes and looked at him with a playful gaze, as if talking about the other party's ignorance.
However, before the words landed, the smile on Fu Lao's face, who wanted to laugh at Mo Tian just now, suddenly froze.
"Buzz ......"
In Mo Tian's hand, the holy sword as bright as the moonlight suddenly trembled at this moment, and the frequency was beyond people's imagination. As if he wanted to say something, he kept making a sword sound.
"What are you ......" Fu Lao had already stuttered completely, and he didn't even know what to say. So far, he had never seen anyone who had succeeded in awakening the soul of a holy relic, and the most powerful thing was only to temporarily obtain the right to use it.
As for the threat to the Holy Relic, he had seen it.
It's just that they're all dead.
The souls of the holy relics are extremely proud, even if they are the lowest level, they will not be able to surrender to ordinary humans.
At this moment, it is unbelievable that the legendary holy sword actually made a surrender to a human being.
"You...... How, exactly? ”
After taking two deep breaths, Fu Lao forcibly smoothed out the ups and downs of his mood, opened his eyes and said.
"Only I can do this, no one else can imitate it." Mo Tian did not answer this question directly, he smiled indifferently, and his expression revealed a kind of mystery, Dao.
"You guy...... Why do you do this every time, only half of the words. Fu Lao couldn't laugh or cry. This is what he is most unhappy about, he often breaks off in the middle of speaking, no matter how much you ask, nothing will come of it, and no matter how important this topic is to you.
Mo Tian is a person, a big idler who has nothing to do with himself, as long as it is not related to himself, even if the world is destroyed, he will not raise half of his eyelids.
"Okay, don't talk too much, you should also tell me Xiaoxuan and their news."
Mo Tian smiled and raised his hand, and the Moon Holy Sword in his hand instantly turned into scattered silver light and disappeared into the air. He slowly raised his head, stared at Fu Lao intently, and said.
Fu Laogan laughed twice and said with a smile.
"Naturally, they were very good, and as soon as the cataclysm happened, I ordered someone to bring them in, and they were safe and sound. It's just that what I told you before, how did you think about it? ”
Mo Tian said lightly.
"Rest assured. Since you've helped me with a favor, I'm not going to go back on my word. What I promised you, I will naturally help you do it. ”
"That's for the best."
Old Fu had a fox-like smile on his old face, as if some kind of conspiracy had been achieved.
"Now in addition to your little girlfriend Yi Xuan going out on a mission, the other two friends are now in the war fortress, do you want me to arrange for you to meet?"
Fu Lao said tentatively.
Mo Tian's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked. "Xiao Xuan went on a mission? What task? ”
"Give me an explanation."
Mo Tian looked at Fu Lao with some unkindness, wanting to listen to the latter's explanation.
He arranged Xiao Xuan and the others here for their safety, not to let them suffer. If Fu Lao didn't give him a reasonable explanation, all the negotiations just now might have turned into a lie.
Fu Lao coughed dryly twice, and his old face showed a smile that was completely out of his age, and he hurriedly comforted the man in front of him and said.
"Don't worry, listen to me. Your little girlfriend was recognized by a very powerful holy relic by chance more than half a year ago, and she had the qualifications to become the controller, but that holy relic happened to be the pressure box treasure of our war fortress, so she ......"
Mo Tian interrupted Fu Lao's words, and his voice was full of coldness.
"So you pushed her to the front line to make up for the lack of high-level controllers?"
The controllers are the special people who have successfully obtained the right to recognize the holy relics, whether they are fighting alone or acting in teams, their combat effectiveness is far beyond that of normal humans, and they are the only means that humans can fight against the famine.
Strictly speaking, Mo Tian was recognized by the Moon Divine Sword and was one of the controllers, even though his combat power did not depend on the Holy Relic.
"Of course not!" Seeing that Mo Tian's expression had changed, Fu Lao was anxious, and immediately vetoed with a solemn face.
"The War Fortress sometimes does push some people up due to the shortage of controllers, but what I promise you will definitely be done. Your girlfriend has the approval of that thing, but without my consent, she can't be in control. ”
Fu Lao's tone paused, and he said slowly.
In fact, it was her own idea to become the master. At that time, because of your relationship, I had directly vetoed all the suggestions about her going to the front line, but I didn't expect her to run to the high-level conference hall and take the initiative to ask to become the controller, which caused an uproar among the high-level people present. ”
"Even though I tried my best to oppose it before, as soon as I got to the conference room, the topic was no longer up to me. In the end, it was decided to grant the status of the person in control and give the holy relic. Ay...... That kid, his temper is really very similar to you, once he makes a good decision, he will be as stubborn as a cow, and he can't pull it back. ”
Mo Tian didn't speak, his eyes just stared at Fu Lao. The two sharp lines of sight almost made the latter goosebumps, as if they were as cold as the sight of a poisonous snake.
The picture was frozen like this for a long time.
Finally, Fu Lao couldn't stand it anymore.
"Well, don't look at me like this, if you want to blame, you have to blame your little girlfriend, I've done my best in this matter." He quickly coughed twice, trying to ease the tension.
For some reason, in front of Mo Tian, he always felt a kind of pressure, and this pressure did not come from a position of power, nor from strength, but from character. Mo Tian's personality is very strong, somewhat akin to machismo, and he does not allow anything beyond his control to appear in front of him.
However, Mo Tian's eyes were still firmly fixed on him.
"Forget it, you can't blame everything."
After half a ring, Mo Tian's face finally changed, his eyes lowered slightly, he waved his hand lightly, and sighed lightly.
"This girl is really not worry-free......"
Mo Tian recalled the past memories in his heart, but the corners of his mouth were hooked with an arc that did not know the meaning.
It's okay for others not to know Yi Xuan's personality, but how could Mo Tian not know her personality. Since a long time ago, Yi Xuan has been an extremely gentle girl, likes animals, is kind and kind, and almost all the advantages in heaven and earth converge on her alone.
However, she is such a perfect girl, but there is one thing that makes Mo Tian, who is her boyfriend, particularly annoying, that is...... It's so kind!
From small animals to pedestrians on the road, as long as he can help, Yi Xuan will try his best to help each other, even if he is covered in bruises. From childhood to adulthood, the number of times the old man retorted could not be counted in two palms, and if it weren't for Mo Tian's presence later, the number would have to be doubled several times.
Mo Tian knew that with Yi Xuan's personality, this kind of thing was absolutely likely to happen, especially after knowing that he had the ability to protect others.
"When you come back, you must teach her a good lesson." The corners of Mo Tian's mouth hooked up with a smile.
"By the way, there's something ......"
At this moment, Fu Lao seemed to remember something, and his expression was a little strange all of a sudden, and he stopped talking.
"If you want to talk quickly, don't grind."
Mo Tian turned his head, glanced at him lightly, and said. He hates this kind of situation where he wants to say and stops, he can say whatever he wants, and covering it up is the most uncomfortable for those who hear it.
"I don't know if I want to tell you about this matter, it's related to your little girlfriend Yi Xuan." Old Fu had some bitterness and helplessness on his old face. He has never had a score in his heart about this matter, and he is afraid that when Mo Tian hears the news, his reaction may be too intense.
"Does it have anything to do with Xiao Xuan?" Mo Tian glanced at him lightly, and said lightly.
"There must be another blind guy eyeing her, right?"
When Fu Lao heard this, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face and exclaimed.
"How do you know? Did anyone tell you? ”
Mo Tian calmly walked to the wooden table, gently tore off a note from the notebook at the foot of the table, and the pen quickly clicked on the note, saying while writing, with no surprise in his expression, extremely indifferent, and said.
"Isn't this a common game for those in power? For things that don't belong to you, you want to desperately control them. If I'm not mistaken, it must have something to do with the upper echelons of your war fortress, right? ”
There was only a wry smile left on Fu Lao's face. Everything has been said by Mo Tian, what else is he saying.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the cause and effect of the matter in its entirety.
"One of the three strongest holy relics of the war fortress that your little girlfriend took away, this holy relic does not mention Huaxia Kingdom, even in the world, its ranking can definitely squeeze into the top ten. Such a powerful holy relic was taken away, and those in power naturally wanted to hold the person who could control it in their hands. ”
"And your girlfriend is a woman, so the easiest way is to ......"
When Fu Lao said this, his eyes couldn't help but skim towards Mo Tian, for fear that the other party would make some radical moves.
"That's forced marriage."
The air condensed, and a chill suddenly filled the room, suddenly making the temperature in the room reach freezing.
The tip of the pen that Mo Tian was writing stopped abruptly at this moment, and the ink left a deep black mark on the note, which gradually seeped around.
"Forced marriage?" Although Mo Tian's tone was still as indifferent as just now, there was a coldness in his voice, as cold as an ice cellar.
"You say, they forced Yi Xuan to marry?"
The killing intent was unabashedly exposed through the stagnant tip of the pen, and the air was completely frozen at this moment.
Fu Lao was shocked by this murderous intent, and he hurriedly waved his hand at Mo Tian and explained.
"Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think, your little girlfriend has my support behind her, so no matter how much pressure you have, they don't dare to do too much."
Just kidding, if he didn't explain, he could fully believe that the combat power of the man in front of him was enough to turn the entire war fortress upside down.
Fu Lao's words still had some effect, and as his words landed, the coldness in the air gradually dissipated.
"The result?"
Mo Tian returned to his previous indifference, the tip of the pen in his hand slid again, and said slowly.
"Due to the lack of certain reasons and explanations, the best I can do is to delay as much as possible until you arrive, and the best way to delay is to 'get engaged' first, and the object is Marshal Li's son."
Fu Lao looked at Mo Tian, who continued to write, shook his head helplessly, and said.
This can't be blamed on him, the war fortress is not something he can call the shots alone, and without a valid reason, even he can't find any excuse to refuse directly. You must know that this holy relic is one of the ten holy weapons, and almost half of the members of the parliament basically support this proposal.
"Engaged? You've got a pretty good idea. ”
Mo Tian didn't look up, and continued to write and speak.
"If I come a little later, Yi Xuan will really be forced to marry, right?"
Obviously, this time Shang Fu always calculated him. The engagement in one fell swoop can be beneficial to Fu Lao, and there is no harm in it.
entered, Mo Tian rushed to the war fortress in time to stop this farce, and he also sold Mo Tian's personal favor.
Retreat, if Mo Tian didn't come, then he could also take a step back and offer to be a witness, so that the wedding could be held smoothly, and it would be harmless.
"Hey, hey." Fu Lao smiled stupidly.
"I'll let you go this time, and if this happens again next time, you will definitely die."
The tip of Mo Tian's pen slowly stopped after the writing was heavy, the air solidified again, and the killing intent burst out in the room, leaving no trace on Fu Lao's body.
"Don't try to touch my confinement, or anyone will die an ugly death." Glancing at Fu Lao lightly, the latter suddenly felt that he was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and he didn't dare to breathe for half a minute.
"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, when is the specific wedding date."
Mo Tian suddenly regained his momentum, and immediately made the latter gasp and inhale heavily.
"October 1st, exactly half a year later." Fu Lao, who had just been intimidated, replied with an unusually excited expression after taking a big breath. Looking at Mo Tian's sight, he became even more fanatical.
He himself is also a third-level controller, and his strength is not low, but he is such a not a low-level master, in front of Mo Tian's eyes, he can't even raise the slightest thought of resisting, you can imagine how unfathomable the other party's strength is.
However, he did not feel the slightest discomfort, but was very happy, because he knew ...... The stronger Mo Tian is, the more likely he is to complete that thing, something that is almost impossible for ordinary people to accomplish.
"Half a year from now, right?"
Mo Tian muttered to himself, but the corners of his mouth showed a cruel arc.
"I wanted them to live a little longer, but since someone is bent on dying, the plan has to be advanced."
In his eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a stunning light, as if a wise man had a grasp of the future.
"Give this note to Chubby, I won't go to see a few of their old friends for the time being."
Mo Tian picked up the small note that had just been torn off from the table, smiled and handed it into Fu Lao's hands.
The little fat in Mo Tian's mouth, formerly known as Zhang Feng, Mo Tian's best friend and best friend, is also one of the three people he entrusted to Fu Lao to help at a critical moment. Because of his short stature and a little chubby, Mo Tian is used to calling him Zhang Xiaopang.
"Was he also a key participant in your project? I should have thought of it a long time ago! ”
Fu Lao borrowed the note, his eyes swept over the content of the note, and he immediately slapped his thigh and said loudly, his expression was full of excitement.
There are very few things written on the slip of paper, just a few numbers...... I'm back, ready to plan.
"Since I promised to help you clean up the war fortress, I naturally have to prepare in advance." Mo Tian said lightly.
"Chubby's IQ and global insight are unparalleled in the world, when you can't make up your mind in the future, you can ask him, if he can't help you solve it, no one can help you."
'Cleaning up the war fortress', this absurd task that can make the people in the fortress dumbfounded, is the only thing Mo Tian promised Fu Lao at the beginning.
No one would have imagined that Fu Lao, who was a high-level member of the War Fortress, would ask outsiders to help him clean up the War Fortress a year ago, this is not just a matter of trust, if he did not have full confidence in Mo Tian, no one would make such a risky move.
"So powerful? Then I'll help you transfer it to him now! Fu Lao said in surprise.
Just as Fu Lao walked to the door and was about to leave, Mo Tian stopped him again.
"That's right."
Mo Tian squinted slightly and said slowly.
"For the sake of your fulfillment of your promise, when you come back this time, I will give you a welcome gift first."
