Chapter 22: Extinction
I never imagined that the relationship between me and Lambpa would be so complicated, so confusing, and so close at hand. I just naively think that Lanpa is a stumbling block on Qin Ziyang's road to freedom and rejuvenation, and Qin Ziyang is the blocker of the revolution in the Lanpa magic energy era, and I am just a passerby.
For me, the greatest significance of the soul thief is what my grandfather said: do not seek fame and fortune, but only dedicate yourself to life. For many years, countless spirit thieves have dedicated the rest of their lives in the tomb for this sentence, and I, the moment I walked out of the tomb, the blue light in my hand became a banner calling for a mission.
I understand that for me, the greatest meaning of the spirit is the meaning of the spirit thief, and Qin Ziyang, Ye Yuning, Ni Ziqiong, Pan Mingyue, Wu Meiyan, Xie Ling and Martha, their greatest meaning to me is how to be a person who can be independent, assertive, dreamy, and pursued, but in this world, it is too difficult.
In my mind, the Soul Thief is equal to the Regent, and the Regent is equal to the Lambpa, but I am not equal to the Spirit, and therefore I am not equal to the Lambpa. Lampa and Grandpa are both Soul Thieves who are at the forefront, and the meaning of their existence may be greater than the meaning of the world that created them, but I don't think I have added value to it. For a long time, I had been confused by my situation. I left the tomb and ran a reptile shop in the Lost City, which actually went against my original purpose.
I'm not a person who sticks to traditional rules, and I'm not an overly conformist. As Qin Ziyang said, I didn't go through that period of controlled thoughts, my childhood and student years were spent in the study of the art of stealing spirits. As a result, I was more free than my peers, but it seemed to come later.
If I was standing in the center of the Apocalypse Knights, then Qin Ziyang and Ye Yuning were standing in front. They are the pioneers of the Knights, and Qin Ziyang is the spiritual food. Ye Yuning is material power; Xie Ling and Wu Meiyan stood on both sides, they belonged to the thugs of the group and had extremely strong attack ability; Martha stood on top of her head, she was the vane of the team, and she retained that persistence in her heart, and she could remind Qin Ziyang and Ye Yuning all the time not to let the road deviate; Pan Mingyue and Ni Ziqiong stood behind them, they were the backing of the team and the think tank of the team; Zhang Xin, Jiao Yang and Ye Yuning's army of female policemen is below, and they are their loyal reserve army. And me. As Brad said, I was the thread that held the seven of them together enough to resist Rampa and his "nest".
Standing in the center of the sphere, I began to think about the original question, which was the ultimate meaning of the Regent. History is a science, because all science comes from history. History has created the mathematical, physical, philosophical, and spiritual worlds. Of course, if there is a question, the answer is found in history. It is also a good medicine for the spirit.
The regent is the thief of the spirit, and the thief of the spirit is to pacify the soul. However, according to what my grandfather said, in the tomb to appease the evil spirits one by one, we only solved the problems underground, and we were passive. As a result, countless soul thieves died tragically in the tombs. This danger has plagued countless aspiring spirit thieves, so they have abandoned their old ways to find a more comfortable and relaxed world under the temptation of profit. And I'm lucky. I foresaw Ye Yuning at this time, and I also met the heart slave. Xinnu told me that impetuousness is the root of the degeneration of many Chinese people. Ye Yuning told me that frivolity can destroy a genius, and disguise can make people lose themselves. Later, Ma Qiao told me that the supreme absoluteness is not a form of artistic expression, and that sometimes art created by the grassroots is also very valuable, and Yuan Yifei told me that when profit drives this society in the direction of luxury and erosion, it must be stopped in a more absolute and straightforward way. In the end, Qin Ziyang and Lan Pa told me that there is no absolutely right thing in the world, there is no absolutely correct justice and evil, and everyone has an optimal route in their hearts, but no matter what direction history goes, people will always run towards freedom, nature will always make judgments, and time will always record everything.
Fan Li looked back at Zhang Xin, who was asleep. He was covered in a blanket, with headphones in his hand and his mouth half-open. This is the private jet of the "Ant Nest", there are only two of them in the entire cabin, Fan Li stood up and walked in the cabin, looking at the posters in the cabin, and found that many of them were "EFQ" posters.
Feelings......
Lan Pa and Qin Ziyang respect each other so much, and hate each other so much, it's really rare.
When the plane arrived at its destination, Fan Li and Ali walked towards the door. There was only one flight attendant on this plane, and it was a flight attendant in a policewoman's outfit, and her true identity could be guessed by a fool.
Fan Li, and Ali walked out of the cabin, the blue sky, the lush woods, where the hell is this? He looked down and saw a line of people standing underneath the plane. He was stunned, the people he had just thought of were all standing in front of him, including the long-lost Ye Yuning and her army of policewomen. Jiao Yang stood beside Ye Yuning with N-2014 and smiled at Fan Li, who was actually wearing a female police uniform. Beside Qin Ziyang, Panda and Kainu looked at him with a smile.
"This ...... It's all true? Fan Li turned his head to look at Ali, and he nodded.
"If you had been persuaded by Rampa to become his subordinate, none of this would have happened, and now that you have made your choice and we both see your sincerity, then this will naturally become a reality."
"And where is this?"
"You'll find out later."
"Hey! Why don't you come down, there are so many of us, each of us is bigger than you, just standing stupidly waiting for you! Kai shouted at Fan Li.
When he shouted like this, Fan Li was actually shy, he ran down the ladder quickly, and when he was about to reach the bottom floor, his feet slipped and the whole person fell in front of Qin Ziyang.
"There's no need to be so funny, you and Ye Yuning are really a natural pair." Qin Ziyang picked up Fan Li's face with one hand, and Ye Yuning looked at Fan's mud-stained face.
"Where is this?" Fan asked again.
"This is the island of 'extinction', the birthplace of the 'Knights of the Apocalypse', and our holy land, every five years, the old knights gather here to tell the experience of these five years, to connect with each other, but now, this has changed the dynasty and become our military base."
"So we're no longer 'ant nest' people?"
Hearing this question, Qin Ziyang sighed softly towards the sea, as if he could see the shadow of Lanpa across the sea.
"This ...... I really don't know. ”
Fan Li followed Qin Ziyang towards the depths of the forest. Along. He stared at the primeval forest around him, which was full of dangers, and those with sharp eyes could occasionally spot one or two snakes with green bodies and sharp brains, or orange-yellow poisonous scorpions lurking in the middle of the bark. After about ten minutes of travel, they came to a parking lot in the middle of a dense forest, on which were parked ten military vehicles, all of which were "ant nest" vehicles.
Getting into the car, they drove along the forest path to a deeper place, and after about an hour and a half, an ancient castle appeared in front of them. Vines intertwined with the old walls and chimneys of the castle, surrounded by trees that can only be embraced by five people, with unidentified seabirds dancing and mysterious songworms singing under the trees.
Fan Li didn't dare to think that if there was no Qin Ziyang, who would be able to pass through this jungle unharmed, if Qin Ziyang planted a lot of black scorpions in the Tengger base here, then the terror index would soar again.
"I'm glad you chose our group, and sometimes I'm still worried. How can we weak women fight against the whole 'ant nest', but then more and more people join us, and we are no longer the same organization that we were the original. But in the face of Lanpa's strength, he is still a little outnumbered. ”
Xie Ling, who was known as the weak woman, pushed open the three-meter-high gate, and with a long creak of the gate, a scene similar to an ancient inn appeared in front of her. Step inside the castle. What caught his eye was the murals in front of him that were about two meters high, and Fan Li recognized the contents of the murals at a glance, which was the picture he saw in Youdu. It is a scene of a sleek white-skinned monster against a white-armored samurai in white armor descending from the sky.
"When I first heard about 'Extermination', I only knew that it was a gathering place for underground auction organizations, but I didn't expect it to be your stronghold." Fan said as he looked up at the mural.
"It used to be an underground auction organization, but we were able to take it away, and the artifacts in it were donated to the National Museum." Pan Mingyue walked to the huge wooden table under the mural and sat down, and Fan Li found that the table and chairs were all carefully carved, as if they were cultural relics themselves.
"Handed over to the state?"
"That's right, we don't like collecting, and who knows who will die tomorrow, and we can't take the things we collect, the only thing we can take away is tattoos."
"I thought that an elegant rich man like you would like to collect antiques."
"Alas, when you know that those things mean nothing to your life, you can't see anything." Pan Mingyue sighed lightly. "The water here is good, do you want a pot of tea?"
"Of course."
This castle is like an arsenal, as soon as you look up, there are dense doors, and the policewomen under Ye Yuning have gone to decorate the room, and the girls under her are very picky because they are influenced by her. At this time, she was sitting under the ancient tree in the doorway swinging. It is said that it is immoral to tie a rope to a tree and swing, but when you see such a tall ancient tree, you will feel that this is not a matter of concern.
"I know it all." Standing in front of Ye Yuning, Fan Li seemed to be a little shy, and after having been in contact with her many times, he still felt that her eyes were very unique, always with a little scorching, burning his face red.
"Well, it's been very difficult to get to this point, and the road in the future may be even more difficult." Ye Yuning said. Today's Yu Ning, wearing a military uniform, Fan Li saw her green dress for the first time, and he thought that the female police uniform was her military uniform.
"Have you ever been scared? Did you ever have a fear when you were ready to open it all? ”
Ye Yuning nodded.
"I'm just an ordinary person, and fear is normal for me. Sometimes I just felt tired and lonely until I got into the organization, found my home, and found you. ”
"I ...... There's a stupid question that I don't know if to ask or not. ”
"Say it."
"You...... Have you ever liked me? When Fan Li said this, of course, he was looking at the surrounding scene, although Ye Yuning's eyes were not as sharp as Pan Mingyue and Xie Ling, but they had a charm, like a magnet, and they couldn't extricate themselves at a simple glance.
Ye Yuning looked at Fan Li and nodded, but he didn't see it, and then Qin Ziyang walked over to this side.
"Fan Li, let me have a few words with you." (To be continued......)
