Chapter XXIV The Eve II
The dawn has not yet come, although, this era is almost no longer the so-called dawn of the old era.
The shaking of the world is both large and small, and the vast majority of people are still living their own lives, starting a new day in ignorance. The darkest hour of the day is also when the predators go out, and decades after the war, most of the humans who survived can be called predators.
Intelligent life and intelligent species are constantly emerging, but human beings still have incomparable advantages, but because the environment is too harsh, human beings who have not completely solved the problem of their own survival and reproduction have not set their sights on other intelligent populations. By the time the environmental problems had been overcome, humanity, which had regained its upper hand, would have been expected to carry out the extermination of other intelligent races. However, the emergence of apostles and super-beings disrupted this process.
The whole world, with a slight vibration, returned to silence.
At this moment, the priest, who had been sleepless all night, suddenly shook his hand, and the tip of the pen that was rapidly recording shook, and made a cut on the paper. The ink quickly melts away and becomes a single stain of ink. The priest frowned, raised his head, looked at the deep sky outside the window, and was stunned for a moment before he remembered something, and hurried to see what was defaced by the ink. The book of Revelation is still spread out in front of the priest. The book is not thick, and the priest spends hours a day reading and annotating it, but over the years, there are still many gaps in the book of Revelation. If you think about it, this is not a small miracle.
This book of Revelation has been with the priest for decades and has never been changed.
The part that was contaminated by the ink was what he had just written down tonight. The priest recalls the contents and rewrites the tainted part on the clean, blank page, which is a description of the apocalypse.
Sally sat behind the priest, staring blankly at the drawings in front of her. She didn't know why she drew such a drawing, in fact, there was nothing abnormal about the core part and equipment, but she added a set of concrete protective layer to it. Looking at the protective layer that was several meters thick, Sally vaguely remembered that this was the standard for strategic defense bases in the old era, but how could it be added here? It is clear that the nuclear war is over.
Thinking about it carefully, Sally felt that she seemed to have a deep uneasiness just now, and subconsciously wanted to add a sense of security to herself, so she instinctively drew the most secure thing in her memory. Looking at the drawings that had been unrecognizable, Sally sighed, took a new piece of paper, and began to redraw.
In the private hospital, Xue suddenly woke up from her sleep and instantly entered a fighting stance, bursting out of her small body with an unprecedented momentum, roaring low towards the deep night sky. It is afraid of its father, it is afraid of Sue, but it does not mean that it is afraid of other people or other things.
Rafi and Curtis, who were sitting together in a daze, changed their faces at the same time, and they felt carefully for a while before they glanced at each other. Raffi said, "Why is that thing restless again?" β
Curtis shrugged and said, "How do I know?" The last time it tossed was at the time of Scarlet Twilight, and now it's been a long time, and it's normal for it to come out and shake. β
Rafi had long been accustomed to his cynical tone, and would not take it seriously, but only thought about his own thoughts, and after a while suddenly asked: "You say, will Helen be aware of its existence?" β
"How do I know?"
"I suppose it would end up tragically if Helen noticed it, right?" Rafi said.
Curtis laughed a few times and said, "Silverhair, I never knew you were so good at joking!" Haha...... "It's just that the more Captain Blacksteel laughs, the drier it becomes, and suddenly, he also thinks that maybe what Rafite said is really possible."
In the room, Helen folded her arms and stared at the light screen in front of her. All the numbers, in her consciousness, were reduced to a sign with an anomalous structure, which could be infinitely amplified, the amount of information it could hold was almost infinite, and the multiple structures could explain numerous rules. If this symbol is for Sue to see, he will be surprised. Because it is very similar to Bessaindu, it is many times ahead of the divine language that Dr. Rochester has been studying for decades!
With the symbol guΓ², Helen is actually simulating the movement of the whole world. It's just that when the last number jΓΉ is filled in and super life is added to the whole world, the structure of the symbol is suddenly destroyed, and a corner actually collapses! Helen was taken aback, and instantly gathered away all the scattered numbers, pondering where she had gone wrong. After a few moments, all the analyses pointed to the same conclusion, one that surprised Helen herself a little.
That is, above this world, there should be a whole volitional being, which can affect the operation of the world in a certain way. When the idea came to mind, the symbols became steady again, and began to flow smoothly.
After staring at the symbol in the world of consciousness for a long time, Helen named this consciousness body the will of the world. And her interest was shifted to the will of the world. Perhaps, it will help her realize some crazy ideas.
Helen began to seriously consider the possibility of capturing the will of the world. At least, thinking in the way of Bessandu, nothing seems impossible.
At the same time, the Dark Dragoon's headquarters was still brightly lit. General Morgan was carefully studying a piece of paper in front of him, which contained only a few paragraphs, succinctly setting out a few demands and affirming the consequences of not being met: war. This statement was addressed to Speaker Bebraz.
General Morgan looked at it three more times before he opened an old-fashioned fax machine in the corner of his office that had been dusted for years and loaded the page in. It's a miracle that the fax machine is still working when it squeaks. It wasn't until the whole sheet of paper was delivered that Morgan seemed to let go of a heavy stone and let out a sigh. He picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip, only to find that the coffee was already cold. He wanted to ask the secretary to come in and warm it up, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again, not minding that the coffee was cold, but drank it slowly as usual.
At this moment, his hand suddenly shook slightly, and there was a crack, and a crack suddenly appeared on the coffee cup, and the whole cup was broken into two, and the remaining coffee splashed all over him. Looking at the broken side of the coffee cup, General Morgan's eyebrows slowly locked together, and his face gradually became grim. He slowly looked up and glanced out the window at the sea.
The sea was still deep, and the heavy waves were silently surging, so heavy that it was breathless. At the end of the line, the sea and the sky are melted into one by darkness.
At this time, the light screen on the general's desk lit up, and it was the speaker Bebraz who was shown on it.
General Morgan set aside the broken coffee cup and wiped off the remaining coffee on his body before connecting to Bebraz.
The speaker in the light screen is still the same as in the past, with a faint majesty in the ordinary. This face has not changed for more than ten years, and it may not change in another ten years. General Morgan looked at Beblaz, who was looking at him. After a full minute of silence, Bebraz spoke first: "Old friend, long time no see. β
"It's a long time, nine months, eleven days, three hours and twenty-five minutes." Morgan responded with a smile.
Bebraz also smiled and said, "There should be forty-four seconds left after I finish saying this, old friend." β
"You came to me to do more than just tell the time, right? The weight of my statement must not be important enough for you to come to me immediately. Morgan said.
Bebraz looked beyond the upper frame of his reading glasses, looked at Morgan, and said, "Actually, I did make a request this time, and I hope you will grant me." β
"Tell me about it."
Bebraz paused and said, "I need your help, and your entire family. Old friends, come to my side, and let us end this war at once! β
Morgan was stunned at first, then laughed, and said, "How do I remember that the statement I gave you clearly said that if my demands were not met, the factory should be returned, and all those who participated in that night's attack were executed, and war would be going to war between us?" Could it be that my memory has become so bad that I have forgotten everything I just wrote? β
After a pause, General Morgan's eyes flashed sharply, and he said, "And, if I'm not mistaken, you just wanted me to lead the whole family to surrender to you, right?" β
Bebraz smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Old friend, I think it is impossible for you not to understand what I mean, and it is impossible not to feel the restlessness of the will of the world just now. We've been through the Battle of Bloody Twilight together, and we've fought side by side, and we've known each other well. As you should know, I don't really have any attachment to power and status. On my side, after the war, I am willing to give you the position of Speaker, and all high-level armed forces can also be handed over to you except a few people. β
General Morgan's momentum and sharpness gradually subsided, and he regained his sharp and gentle image, and he played with the ring on his left hand, and said slowly: "Old friend, I believe you should have known what I really meant when you saw that statement. I understand your thoughts and your position. But you're right, the will of the world is beginning to turmoil again, and it is likely that the second Scarlet Twilight will soon begin. At times like these, it does seem funny that we are going to have a civil war again. However, it has not occurred to you that perhaps this civil war is part of the second Bloody Twilight? β
The dialogue between two old men, full of wisdom and vicissitudes, is very capable of deciding the life and death of thousands of people. Therefore, they carefully consider every word, and every word that falls, it may splash endless blood and corpses.
Bebraz took off his reading glasses, wiped them with a piece of deerskin, and said with the calmness and slowness characteristic of an old man: "Old friend, are you really unwilling to choose my path? What you should be after the Spider Queen, and what you will bring once you know that she succeeds. β
Morgan shook his head and said equally slowly but firmly, "I knew exactly what she was doing, and that's why I decided to be on her side." I hope she succeeds, so that at least she can find a path for me and others to follow. I'm sorry, old friend, but I can't make the same sacrifice as you do. β
Bebraz wiped his glasses, as if the lenses could never be cleaned, and said slowly: "Old friend, do you think our world can accommodate how many super lifeforms?" β
"Even if there are really only a few, that's enough."
Bebraz's hands trembled, he put his glasses back on, and said slowly, "This is our world!" Our world does not need super creatures, nor does it need the will of the world. Above our heads, there should only be the sky. β
General Morgan was silent for a full ten minutes before he said, "I'm sorry, old friend. With that, the communication was cut off.
