Chapter 22: Listen, Child
After two future people became Aguston and one future person was killed, only Lu Lie and Old Man Octopus were left in the entire reboot universe.
Lu Lie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took a step back and pulled the octopus old man to a safe distance, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"As I have already said, I am the last survivor of the future universe, the epitome of your human future. "Come, my child, those three are all dead, and you can get out of this hellish place." β
"Why the hell should I believe you?" Lu Lie roared, and he didn't hesitate to summon his strongest god, the Rose Tiger, as his nerves were extremely tense. After all, watching three future people being instigated and killed in front of his eyes, this old man just moved his mouth from beginning to end, and he didn't even have his hands out. Anyone's spirit will be tense to the point of collapse.
Although these three future people are also his enemies in a sense. But their battlefield is not here, at least. It's just that until he reaches the legendary Taisheng Universe, they will always protect him.
"Listen, kid, I know of course you won't believe me. If I had seen this scene 100,000 years ago, I would never have believed this scheming old monster, not to mention that compared to these three future people, I didn't look like a human at all. In the face of Lu Lie's accusation, the old man seemed very calm, "But I know far more things than you imagined. I know that you are a human from an ancient time, that you are the first and last human to climb to the top of a tree of karmic warp, that you have the power of a Shikigami but that you are still no match for these humans from 350,000 years later, that you are coerced forward by them, that you are almost killed by them, and that they do not intend to kill you right away because you have the blessing of another future person, and that you have a heart of gold. They want to send you to the Taisheng Universe and use your Golden Heart to fulfill their European plan. But that day is also the date of your death. β
Lu Lie's face showed a look of shock, confusion, and puzzlement, he couldn't figure out how this old monster who looked dying in the twilight saw all this happen. If he hadn't witnessed the two Futures become Aguston and one Futures being killed, he would have almost thought that the Futures had told the old monster.
But all this did not lower Lu Lie's vigilance, on the contrary, he became more and more extremely alert.
"What do you want to do, old monster?" Lu Lie continued to maintain a posture of slowly retreating, while paying attention to the wind and grass around him, avoiding being caught off guard by something that suddenly appeared in the darkness, "Blind me with rhetoric, and kill me by surprise when I am most unvigilant? If you're a psychopath, you've killed three people today, that's enough, that's enough, that's enough, I think you should be satisfied, pervert now. β
"This is not the attitude towards a benefactor, my child. It seems that you have a very bad nature, and no one has taught you how to be kind to others. The old man raised his eyebrows, "Don't forget, these three future people died at my hands, and if it weren't for me, you would still be someone else's prisoner." I am the one who gave you freedom. β
"I'd be even more grateful if you could get me out of here safe and sound. Lu Lie said coldly. As he spoke, he quietly surveyed the space around the room, weighing the odds of fighting the old octopus repeatedly.
"If you want to go, you can leave this universe now. The old man octopus sighed, raised his hand, and a soft light poured out from above the room, revealing the door to a new world, "The wormhole to the outside world was here in the first placeβfrom where you came down. But the three future people were blinded by their own greed and lust, and they couldn't see the Yangguan Avenue laid under their feet. β
"But I still hope you'll stay here longer and talk to me for a while. The old man spoke lightly, his eyes revealing a subtle trace of sadness, "How long have I been here? Time has lost its meaning in this universe." The only thing I remember is that I almost forgot everything. Even that devastating catastrophe has been so long for me that I can't even remember what it was like to be a real 'human'.
"I was lonely and lonely. β
However, Lu Lie did not have any compassion at all, he glanced at the wormhole above the room, and coldly calculated: "This can't be another deceitful magic trick or something, right? β
The old man octopus replied, "Go, my child." Go ahead boldly. I've done everything I can for you, and I've cleared all the obstacles that lie ahead for you. The next thing you have to do is up to you. β
Lu Lie was still nervous in his heart.
Should you believe the words of this old monster?
"Hey, old monster, since you said this is a wormhole to the outside world, you might as well go up and take a wave first. If you can come back safe and sound, I believe in you. β
Lu Lie shouted loudly at the old man octopus in the distance, but the old man octopus just lowered his head and did not react.
It was as if he was asleep.
"Grandma, I've had enough of all this. Lu Lie cursed all the gods he could imagine in his heart again, "Rose Tiger, you go to the world above to see what is there, and then come back and tell me." β
The crimson tiger roared unwillingly, and then flew up the wall.
Lu Lie was left alone in the room to confront the octopus old man nervously.
After less than half an hour, the Rose Tiger returned the way it came. As soon as it saw Lu Lie, it was extremely excited, and it couldn't stop patting its huge tiger claws, eating and screaming.
"What, you said, did you see the Time Giant Ah Nian on it?" After hearing the roar of the Rose Tiger, Lu Lie's face changed and he asked in some shock.
The Rose Tiger couldn't stop nodding at its massive tiger head, as if it was agreeing with Lu Lie's translation.
"It's really strange, is this really a wormhole to the outside world?"
"It's just that this old man, what the hell is he thinking?"
