Chapter 3 Fire Fighting

Zhou Heng climbed down the safety ladder and saw his sister crowded in the crowd.

"Brother, how's it going?"

"It's just that the meteor fell on the roof of the building, and now it's on fire."

"Do you want to call the fire brigade?" Sister Zhou Lu blinked, as if she wanted to ask something else, but she was a little hesitant; Aunt Liu, who was on the other side of the door, asked directly, "What about the meteorite?" Xiao Zhou, have you picked up a meteorite? Take it out and show it to us? ”

"No need...... The meteorite is still in the fire, and it can only be obtained when the fire is extinguished. ”

"Didn't you drop the one next to you? What kind of meteorite? How much is it? ”

"No ......" Zhou Heng was in a hurry to extinguish the fire, and he didn't say much to Aunt Liu, and followed Luo Tiansheng downstairs. Aunt Liu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, simply twisted her fat body, followed the safety ladder, and climbed to the top of the building tremblingly.

Walking down the stairs and following Luo Tiansheng to his house, he saw that he carried out a woven bag, which was full of dirt, and the amount was enough. "Why are there so many?"

"I only brought it up a few days ago, and I was going to change the soil for the things in the pots; I didn't expect to be able to use it today. ”

Seeing Zhou Heng who followed, Luo Tiansheng was quite surprised. The group of people upstairs were all worried about the meteorite in the fire, and no one would come down; However, Zhou Heng, a neighbor who has always had a bad impression, will take the initiative to help, which makes him a little surprised.

"You still raise flowers...... Zhou Heng said, went over and grabbed one end of the woven bag, and Luo Tiansheng carried the big bag to the door.

"The previous tenant planted it, and it was left to me before I moved out. I threw it and was reluctant to throw it, so I kept it there...... Trouble to death. ”

Luo Tiansheng's house is on the fourth floor, not far from the roof. In less than a minute after entering and exiting, even Zhou Lu, who came to help, went down to the entrance of the fourth floor. The two of them were about to go up with the dirt bag, when they suddenly heard a commotion on the rooftop, and in the chaos, they only heard Lao Wang's loud voice coming from above, "My hand is burned, go and bandage it first." Everyone is busy first, and I will invite you to eat hot pot another day! ”

Having said that, there was no annoyance or unhappiness in his words, but there was a look of excitement that could not be concealed—and then, he saw Lao Wang's tall body rushing down from the safety ladder. There were many people standing in front of the safety stairs, and Luo Tiansheng, who was just about to go to the rooftop, was caught off guard and was almost knocked over by Lao Wang's buttocks. In the dim light, I saw that Lao Wang's right hand was full of muddy water, and there seemed to be some scorched black marks. The tunic was also taken off and tucked under the armpit, which seemed to be wrapped in a bulging thing.

Seeing Lao Wang's right hand awkwardly cocked because he didn't dare to touch the safety ladder, Zhou Heng immediately understood what was happening on it. This guy really didn't want to die, and he even burned his hand in order to grab a meteorite. Zhou Heng grinned and hurriedly stepped aside; Fang Lao Wang walked over.

"This ...... You ...... person" Luo Tiansheng was almost knocked over, and before he could complain, Lao Wang had already walked away.

Luo Tiansheng shook his head and didn't say anything. Climb the safety ladder, pick up Zhou Heng below, and send the dirt bag to the roof. Zhou Heng himself is an individual worker, and his strength is not bad, but he didn't expect Luo Tiansheng, a guy who is a high-level intellectual at first glance, to work so neatly. Zhou Heng was still on the safety ladder, and Luo Tiansheng had already carried a dirt bag to extinguish the fire.

Zhou Heng poked his head out of the wellhead and looked at the scene on the roof. The fire is still burning, although it has always looked like it is about to be extinguished, but after so long, the fire has not been small at all. Zhou Heng couldn't help but be a little lucky, if it wasn't raining, the fire would continue to spread, and it might lead to a big fire. Luo Tiansheng untied the dirt bag and threw it into the fire.

The fire gradually decreased, and the other people who were standing by the fire and watching also came to their senses at this time, some began to help Luo Tiansheng extinguish the fire, and some directly tried to poke their feet into the fire. Just now, Lao Wang seemed to have only picked up a relatively large piece, and the other meteorites were still in the fire, and their careful thinking was not broken; Only Aunt Liu, who was standing on the side, was still chattering about 'everyone's things' and 'collect them and divide the money together'. But no one paid any attention to her.

It is in the nature of small citizens to seek profits, especially for tenants with whom they have almost no friendly relationship with each other. Everyone wants to swallow these baby bumps for themselves, but most people neither have the spirit of asking for money and not wanting their lives like Lao Wang, nor do they have the determination to fight and rob things, and the final result can only be empty-handed. If it weren't for Luo Tiansheng's timely extinguishing of the fire, I don't know how long these guys would have dragged on; But now that the fire is about to be extinguished, Zhou Heng can't control it so much.

Lying down the safety ladder, my sister Zhou Lu didn't know where to go. Zhou Heng didn't see her, so he went home first.

The fire extinguishing upstairs continued, and after the fire was extinguished, he didn't know what would happen to those meteorite fragments - but Zhou Heng couldn't care so much, and what he was most concerned about now was the strange glass ball he picked up.

Lock the door casually, and Zhou Heng is left alone in the house. And Zhou Heng took out the 'main god' and couldn't wait to ask,

"You...... Lord God? ”

"Roger."

Sure enough, there was a sound, and the things I heard just now were obviously not hallucinations.

"Who are you? Aliens? ”

"We don't belong to any civilization, and we're not aliens as you say." The voice calling himself the 'Lord God' replied, "I'm talking to you just an intelligent system created to keep this piece working properly. My mission is to find intelligent beings and then assist them in mastering this fragment. ”

"You guys? Splinter? ”

"Yes, it's this seed in your hand - as I said earlier, I'm talking to you just an intelligent system that is just an intelligent system to keep this fragment running reasonably."

"In other words, you and this so-called 'seed' are not the same individual, right?"

"Yes."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Then you...... I mean, what is this fragment? What's the use? ”

"It's a seed that has been peeled off from some supreme being, and it works as you can imagine. It's just that now it's just a seed. ”

"What supreme being?"

"To use the closest word to this linguistic system, it is 'God.'"

"'God'?"

Zhou Heng grinned, and he began to have some doubts about the strange thing in his hand—or rather the words of the creature.

He's not a second-year secondary school student who can fool a crippled person with just two unclear words, and besides, these strange terms that are rambling around are probably even middle school students who will feel discordant. Although he didn't know any information about this glass ball at all, this guy's attitude was really not sincere—at least in Zhou Heng's opinion.

"And what is your purpose?"

"My mission is to find intelligent beings and then assist them in mastering this fragment."

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. That's what it said just now, right?

"What about this—this fragment?"

"It's just a fragment, and it doesn't have a mission to carry."

"No, I mean, what do you want me to do with all this?"

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. This kind of creature that seems to be an alien suddenly finds him and wants to obey his orders, in Zhou Heng's eyes, it is as obvious as writing the word conspiracy on his face. However, the 'Lord God' refused to change his tune, and explained unhurriedly, "Our mission is just a tool, and whatever we do, it is up to you to decide." ”

Zhou Heng frowned and continued to ask, "Who is the one who made you?" ”

"This piece is something that is produced by 'God' growing and peeling off naturally. So, according to your words, my existence is a natural phenomenon. ”

"Natural phenomena ......" Zhou Heng's eyelids jumped, "What's the 'God' you keep talking about?" ”

"I can just perceive its existence." The Lord God explained, "Before I was born, this fragment had left the body of 'God' and began to travel among the stars. Today, it is only 40,000 years old. ”

"Forty thousand years!" Zhou Heng couldn't help but repeat it.

"From our point of view, 40,000 years is not a long time; And you are the first intelligent life we have encountered. ”

“……”

The words of the 'Lord God' naturally sounded ridiculous to Zhou Heng, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no flaw. After all, it doesn't make sense to just pick up a glass ball that can speak, and to use the common sense of the past to explain it. Zhou Heng thought about it, and could only choose to believe it for the time being.

Perhaps, what it says is true? In the fairy tales when I was a child, it was said that adults were short-sighted and would be blinded by suspicion and interests.

After such hesitation, Zhou Heng also confirmed half-seriously and half-mockingly, "In other words, you are the one - the angel sent by God to bless me?" Why call the Lord God and not the angels? ”

"If you wish." The Lord God replied, "What I mean by 'Lord God' and 'God' are just two referential nouns with similar characteristics taken from your language system. If the host has other ideas, they can always change it......"

"Forget it." Zhou Heng grinned, "Speaking of which, why did you choose me and not others?" ”

"Because you're the first sapient creature we've encountered since we landed." The Lord God replied.

"Forget it...... Tell me what is the use of this fragment of your possession? ”

"Whether it's for your personal gain, or for your race to be sublimated, or even to transcend time and space, tampering with cause and effect, it's not a problem. It's more than enough for anything you can think of, but because it's not complete at the moment, all features are still under seal. ”

Sure enough...... Zhou Heng frowned, a little alert.

As depicted in religious stories, clever demons do not trade fairly with humans; It often does not reveal its true purpose, but instead portrays endless benefits in its envisioned traps, luring the humans it pacts with to take the initiative to go there. The humans who made the pact thought they had taken advantage of it, and when they reached their destination, they would have fallen for the devil's tricks. Demons never lie, and their deception depends more on their accurate grasp of the information gap between the two sides, as well as the terrible means of playing with human ** in the palm of their hands.

And now, Zhou Heng is worried about this situation. He didn't know anything about the 'Lord God', but the 'Lord God' seemed to know everything about him. Therefore, Zhou Heng didn't care much about the so-called benefits described by the 'Lord God'. But even so, Zhou Heng would not be sensitive enough to give up this suspicious opportunity - anyway, now he is just an ordinary person who has nothing to deceive, if this 'main god' really wants to harm himself, he will just smash Zhou Heng and others into slag with one stone.

As long as you are careful, there should be no problem, right?

With this mentality, Zhou Heng followed its words and continued to ask, "Why is it incomplete?" Could it be those meteorites out there? ”

"Those meteorites were just some high-energy dust that I had gathered during my space voyage, and by the time I landed, it was basically gone. While they are rare minerals on your planet, they are not necessary for us. ”

"Then you say it's incomplete......"

"This fragment is only a seed of 'God', and the complete state is naturally a completely new 'God'." The Lord God explained, "As it grows, so does its power; Not only can we gradually get closer to the 'God' as the mother, but we may be able to catch up with or even surpass it. ”

"Tell me straight, what do you need me to do? Could it be that there are other 'fragments' of you on Earth—or in the universe?"

"Each fragment is an individual, and it appears much less frequently than it takes to grow into a complete 'God,' so the fragment is unique during this time period."

"That ......"

"What it lacks to grow, in the words of your language, is 'energy.'"
