Chapter 339: The Old Man Reunites

It was the deepest part of this vast interior space, leading somewhere. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

It was pitch black, the only passage was the one with lights on the walls on both sides, and it was still the area that Jonah had planned to do and had not yet been extended, and there was no digging of a large number of roads for easy transportation or pulling of the lighting cables, but he had arranged for a small number of men to dig such a road, and gave an extra price to the workers without having to inquire about the cause, and not to spread the slightest word about the secret work.

It was a request from his partners from another world, and he didn't have the right to dwell on the rest of it, but now the leader of the partners had returned to this place after a long absence, to push his plan to the last step, and invited him to watch the results together.

In fact, he himself is not particularly interested in the specific goals and actions of those people, but only the benefits brought by cooperation, which is enough for him, not that his pursuit is not high, but that he knows that it is inconvenient for him to get involved too deeply in the affairs of the other party.

The elevator car descended vertically, because it was not completely closed, so Jonah and Born could clearly see their way forward, this place was beyond the area that Jonah was currently expanding, and then the elevator car suddenly stopped, and it was moving parallel to the front, about the construction of this elevator cable is a project that Jonah did not know, he leaned against the fence, and in front of him stood silently Born and Norvacs, and drilled into the hole in front of him along with the iron box under his feet.

The straight extension of the road, shuttling through the dimly lit hole, always makes people unable to grasp the loss of time, Jonah glanced at the watch on his wrist, just entered the elevator when it showed 1.50 points, and now the two hands are still in place motionless, how deep has it fallen, Jonah himself does not know, the position of this altitude, his watch began to fail, probably affected by the magnetic field, he was a little curious about the group of people who worked with him, what kind of technology level they relied on, they could ignore the impact of the magnetic field on the instrument and still work normally。

"Where are we going?" said Bohn, breaking the oppressive atmosphere that had been ruled by silence.

"The final point of your plan is also the root cause of the mutation of the leylines in this place," Novoz replied, his old voice chilling in the darkness, "it's almost there, the man has probably already arrived there first, after all, he can't wait." ”

"Of course, he must be the one who is most anxious in his heart," Born knew who the man in Novoz's mouth was, "and the empty body carried all the expectations of the people who had passed away." ”

"Not you?" said Norrwtz, a question that puzzled Beaught.

"Including," said Vaughn after a moment's hesitation, "it is for this reason that I have left everything that has been ingrained in the Order and returned here, a dream we have had since a long time ago, and if I am the only one left, I will accompany him to the end." ”

"There seems to be some hesitation in your words?" Novaz continued, asking questions that Bohn couldn't understand.

"What do you mean? Although you are the helper of the empty approval, I don't think you are qualified to question our attachment casually, and you don't know what we have been through. ”

"I don't know, and I don't want to understand, but where you have struggled, I have also stood and watched from a distance," Novoz smiled meaninglessly, this reaction made Bohn's heart very uncomfortable, this old man who couldn't adapt to himself seemed to be expressing a kind of ridicule, mocking a group of wayward children," Forget it, I'm just a facilitator, or a bystander, what you have to do, no matter what the result is, right or wrong is your own responsibility and business, it has nothing to do with us, what I want is only the interests of our side in the cooperation treaty. ”

Jonah closed his eyes and stood in the corner behind the elevator car, consciously avoiding the conversation between the two of them, which had nothing to do with him.

Born felt like a stone was stuffed in his chest, indescribable stuffiness, and an unrelieved complex, in fact, he vaguely guessed what this old man he was not familiar with was hinting at, and he himself had thought about his own way. In the long time of being mixed in the Knights, in order to establish his prestige and status in the Knights, he continued to climb hard to ascend to the position of the captain, and in this busy other life, he no longer had the company of those companions who shared the joys and sorrows in hell, only himself, fighting alone, and even deliberately forgot his past identity and true purpose for a time, just for the future in the plan.

But sometimes, in the dead of night, he looked at the cold moon in the sky alone, and began to recall, recalling when he was still young, allowing himself to return to that cold season again, and then meeting everyone, fantasizing about the future and moving forward together, followed by the cruel reality, disillusionment, those past laughter, even in the cold and bloody era, can still appear in front of his eyes and around the warmth, as if it has become a flash in the pan or a mirror, and suddenly disappears, leaving only a few people, unable to give up everyone's common yearning, at a loss in the bloody hell。 He opened his eyes suddenly, sweating wet, and he was still wearing the commander's big hat and sitting in his room.

In some moments, he himself was even in a trance about his existence, whether he was the head of the knights who wanted to protect the country, or the child who crawled with everyone grinding his teeth and crying.

Time waits for no one, and when the final task in the plan arrives, he still sits in his room as usual, looking at the night sky, wanting to break the knot in his heart that he doesn't know when he is entangled. It wasn't until Dessos, perhaps out of a whimsical interest, told him about the actions of Suzu and the others infiltrating the Silent Court through the mines, and he left his seat and walked out of the gate without saying a word.

Still can't be untied, that knot, on one side is a knight who walks in the light and follows justice and protection, and on the other side is lurking in the unknown darkness and quietly acting, outlaws. He has an inseparable friendship with the past, and he also has a real established present, no matter where he is, he can't give up.

At the last moment, his face returned to the awe-inspiring of the past, but he was already wearing the armor of a knight and the commander's command. Following the mission, he captured the Divine Wolf, then infiltrated the secret place of the Institute and took the Apocalypse with him. What he didn't expect was that someone caught up with him to stop him, he should have killed her decisively and walked away, but he still couldn't bear it, he was still wearing the armor of a knight, and he was still a comrade-in-arms side by side, so there was such a meaningful conversation.

"Say whatever you want, I know what you mean, I admit that my life is indeed very strange, obviously I am the grass that grows in hell, but I have to absorb the light of the world to grow, there are unforgettable memories in hell, the world is still, so where I belong, is it hell or the world, I don't understand," Bohn looked ahead and said firmly, " But I'm back, I've already decided that I'm going to accompany that person to the end, I'm the last one around him, even if I'm not his closest person, but I'm also his friend. ”

"Here we are," said Novaz, "both of you, look ahead, and don't blink." ”

So there was a dark red point of light in front of him, which should be the exit to a certain place, and the elevator car slid along the long cable, getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be a rich red light that filled the unknown place in front of him.

"First of all, Mr. Jonah, this is what you need, that majestic unknown source," said Novaz, "and a man like you would not be afraid of it." ”

The elevator car rushed out of the hole, the speed dropped suddenly, as if it had become a sightseeing car, they entered an open area, surrounded by darkness, which seemed to extend to a farther place, but on the wall above, there was a huge red unknown substance adhered to it, as if it was flesh and blood in the animal's body, like a formless mass of flesh, which was agitating in a small amplitude, like a heartbeat, and it was covered with a suspected blood-colored grid, which was also the light source in this space, it was extremely bright, releasing blood-colored light.

"No, it's just amazing, should I say it's a treasure in this world," Jonah's gaze moved on the red lump of flesh, and the slow speed of the elevator car gave him enough time to enjoy the indescribable sight, "Is this place, alive?" he couldn't help but ask.

"No, but the thing itself is alive, it's just sleeping, it's about to wake up," Novoz replied, "it's just a part of its body, because it's not fully formed, so it's like an egg now, and its body is still on a higher level." ”

"Is it all from this thing that all the strange fluctuations that pervade here," Born licked his lips, he felt that his lips seemed to crack, and blood was about to be drawn out of the cracks, "The first time I saw it, the monsters that originally only existed in the annals and the past, all of this is also the influence of the fragments of the apocalypse." ”

"Yes, it is better to say that the fragments of Revelation have taken over its central position, instilling it with unlimited energy to grow like a cancer cell, while seizing full control of its life force. ”

"How?" Beaught.

"If there is no Apocalypse, it is like a human being loses its heart, this thing will die, even if it seems huge at the moment, it still has immeasurable power," Novoz sneered, "It is said that the ancient gods also felt a headache, and now it is just a clown who is led by the power of the apocalypse." ”

"Presumably this is what you want?" said Jonah, "do you want to take it and become your own, or do you want to kill it?"

"The power that has spread will not go away, enough to mutate more minerals, Mr. Jonah can rest assured," Mr. Novoz said, "and what these people want is not the big guy itself, but the thing that is its heart, and of course, what we need, and this thing, which is nothing more than a container or something like that." ”

"Is it in its body, the remaining fragments of the Apocalypse?" Vaughn asked.

"Yes, it's better to say that the fragments in its body were put in it temporarily," said Norvacs, "and many years ago, in order to create a suitable body for you, it was implanted as an experiment, and now everything is still mature, just come here to recycle things." ”

The elevator car continued to move, gradually moving away from the huge space where the meat ball was, and drove into the narrow passage again, but unlike before, this section of the road was built with many cables and ropes, and there was plenty of light for lighting.

Born looked ahead, and not far away there seemed to be a figure standing, with his back to him. He was stunned for a moment, and great impulses and feelings surged up.

"Then Mr. Born, the person you want to see is also there. Shuwartz said.

The elevator car came to an abrupt halt at the end of the cable, Novoz pressed the switch, the elevator doors opened, and Born walked down first, towards the dark figure.

The figure noticed the situation behind him, he turned around, he was wearing a black suit and dress, solemnly as if he was going to attend an important banquet, the moment he turned around, Bohn felt that he saw complex emotions from the silhouette of that face, like the relief that the great cause will eventually be established, like the excitement that dreams and pursuits are about to be realized, like the sadness of remembering the important person who is long gone, like overlooking everything along the way, and the accumulated tiredness is all revealed.

"I can finally give you an explanation, don't I," the figure looked at Born and pointed at him, his behavior and tone were rude and casual like a naughty boy, and he didn't seem to match the formal clothes on his body, "This is what you look like now, I haven't seen you for years, I still remember your gray hair, and we laughed at you when we were a little old man." ”

He is indeed here for the banquet, and his former friends are waiting for him, returning with the future that everyone yearns for, which is a banquet that spans time and yin and yang.

"Empty?" said Bohn.

"It's me. The figure opened its arms and nodded.

"Great, it's good that you're still here," Born walked up and hugged the figure, reuniting old friends from many years, "As soon as I came back, everyone was gone, and I thought I was the only one left." ”

"No, everybody's here, always by our side," Sora said, "welcome back, my friends, my family, everyone misses you." ”

"Welcome back, Sora, I'm waiting for you with everyone," Born said, "and I miss you too." ”

"Mr. Sora, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look a lot older," Jonah held out his hand, "It's nice to see my partner again, accept your invitation, and I'm here too." ”

"I'm still middle-aged, I'm just a little tired," Sora politely shook the other man's hand, "Thank you for your willingness to come." ”

"I don't know what Mr. Sora wants to say to me. ”

"I'm a little embarrassed, I hope Mr. Jonah will be willing to help me in the next one," Sora smiled, "I don't know what you think." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"I know that Mr. Jonah has hired troops from an army to help me capture a target," Sora pulled out a picture from her clothes, "and we need something on her." ”

Jonah took the photo, it was a young and beautiful girl, the appearance of a student, a bright black hair attracted the most attention, he thought that this girl was somewhat familiar.

"Your grandson's friend, if I say that, do you have any concerns?" asked Sora.

"It turned out to be her," Jonah smiled as if he thought of something, and then his face fell into cold indifference again, "Don't worry, my partner has fulfilled his promise, so I won't hesitate to help, just ask, can't Mr. Sora do it himself?"

"Because of my personal status, there are some unstable elements, so I can't do it, and I have other important things to do," Sora said, "but if it's Mr. Jonah, who is the head of the city, I'm sure you can do it." ”

"This is the last cooperation, I hope the cooperation is happy, and it can be regarded as fate to meet someone like Mr. Jonah in this place," Sora said, "We are almost leaving this place, and this place will be left to you at your disposal, Mr. Jona." ”

"If only I could go back the way I came from this place. Jonah put the picture in his coat pocket and returned to the elevator car.

"It's direct and can take you all the way back to the place. Novoz closed the elevator door, pressed the button, and the elevator car carried Jonah back the way he came.

"So let's get started, first of all, to reshape our bodies," he said, turning around, looking at the various instruments in the open area in front of him, as well as the materials placed a little further away.

It was a huge tree arranged horizontally, uprooted and moved to this unknown place, and on top of it, a white dot was placed.

It is a white wolf in a dying and sleeping coma.
