"Mr. Xia, what are you looking at here?" Alberon chased after me and stood high behind me.

If it weren't for the encounter at Mr. Wang Zhenwu's house, I would probably be like Alberon at this moment, standing in front of a tree, confused.

"It's okay, I'm just...... It's just a little strange that this big tree grows on top of the top and no one fertilizes and waters, but it grows so strong that it is many times more prosperous than the trees in other monasteries in Tibet?" I said.

After all, the marriage between Sanshu and Wang Qinghua is not just bright, and once it is leaked, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of the Wang family and Wang Yongbang. So, I don't say a word.

"When I was investigating at Gaden Monastery, I heard from the monks that there was a middle-aged monk named 'Sanshu' who cared so much about this tree that he was nicknamed 'Tree Idiot Lama' by his companions. There are so many strange things in Tibetan areas that if we pay attention to the research one by one, even if the staffing of the 51 region is increased tenfold, it will be difficult to do it. Alberon said.

Of course, it is impossible for him to know what happened around this Bodhi tree, but it is okay this way, anything that is targeted by District 51 will be investigated to the bottom of it, and any personal privacy will be dug out in detail, exposed in broad daylight, and left to the public to comment.

"What do you get here? We're looking for mermaids, not this tree or any other tree. Alberon asked.

I turned around and wanted to be a farewell Bodhi tree, and also expose the public case of Sanshu and Wang Qinghua. History is ruthless, and there are always many things that are sad, sad, happy, or unfortunate, and the waves sweep through everything, rolling east day and night.

"Huh, what's that?" Alberon pointed abruptly out of the Great Eagle Flat.

It was an image he had created, and any changes were expected by him, and there was absolutely nothing that surprised him. However, the expression on his face at this moment was very strange, and it was not deliberately pretended.

I looked up to the west, and a huge hole suddenly appeared in the void outside the Great Eagle Flat, more than twenty paces in diameter, empty, and bottomless.

"Mr. Xia, the real crisis is coming...... a voice came from the mouth of the cave.

I didn't have time to tell whose voice it was, when I suddenly heard a huge cries of vultures. The sound was so terrible that it seemed that thousands of vultures were terrified and then roared together, and then these thousands of cries were of the same frequency, producing a huge resonance, deafening, and terrifying.

"What kind of sound is this? I haven't heard it, I haven't heard it!" Exclaimed Albert.

I felt a killing opportunity, and that killing machine must have been brought by the Thousand Eagles Roaring.

"Go, retreat, retreat!" I shouted at Albert.

His ability to adapt to the enemy is really not high, and he did not choose to retreat at this critical moment, but rushed forward and rushed to my side. It is no wonder that in his mind, he did not realize that the changes in events in the virtual images had gone out of control. He didn't perceive the danger, and it was already coming.

Several black shadows swept through the air, accompanied by the fluttering sound of the vulture's wings powerfully fanning the air, and Alberon screamed, and had been carried away from the Great Eagle Ping by seven or eight eagle talons.

I looked up, and the sky was densely covered by the open eagle's wings. It was four super eagles with a wingspan of more than twenty meters that captured Eberon, hundreds of meters in the air, and as soon as these eagles loosened their talons, Ebelon would fall into the abyss and fall to pieces.

He kept screaming and screaming, but he didn't dare to struggle, for fear that the eagle would be disturbed and throw him down. However, his situation is also very bad, because the eagles are flying from nowhere, and their flight target is the huge black hole.

I watched as Alberon disappeared into the black hole with the flock of eagles, but there was nothing I could do.

"Mr. Xia, go back quickly, the things here are not something that can be reversed by one person. In the leylines, there are thousands of changes, if you want to save your life, hurry away from ......" The voice sounded again.

I heard it clearly, half of the voice came from Sanshu, and half from Wang Qinghua.

The two of them seemed to have merged, and the two voices said the same thing, suddenly it was him, and suddenly it was her, and the cooperation was seamless, smooth, without a pause.

"The merman is powerful, and no one will come forward to stop all this, and then the human world will be over. Sanshu, you also used to be a practitioner of Ganden Monastery, at this moment, don't you feel sorry for the teachings of the senior monks of the past generations?" I asked loudly.

I believe that in the course of several generations of Sanshu's practice, he must have studied under several or even dozens of eminent monks, and received the sincere teachings of those masters. Whether it is Tibetan Buddhism or Han Buddhism, its teachings have fearless chapters such as "sacrificing oneself to save others, I will not go to hell, who will go to hell, saving people's lives is better than building a seven-level floating slaughter, sacrificing one's life to feed tigers, cutting meat and feeding eagles". Under this mode of education, the original heart of the three trees must be true, good, beautiful and other virtues. If it weren't for the Bodhi blue and white marriage, he would not have taken the road of escapism and retreat.

"When we do that, it's part of the practice of salvation. The love between men and women is just a drop of dew on the leaves of Bodhi, which will disappear in an instant, and only true practice can make people live forever, and life extends at the same time as the place where it comes and goes, until it lives and dies with the world. Mr. Xia, the practice of Tibetan Buddhism is different from the worldview of thaumaturgists, so you should leave, saving your life is far better than risking death to attack. Miki said.

"How do you save your life, how do you risk your life to attack?" I asked.

"The leylines are forbidden to the mermen, because the former lord of the mermen planned to flood the leylines with the waters of the East China Sea, but in the end they could not succeed. The leylines are endless, it can tolerate everything, it can also spit out everything, do nothing, do nothing, bear everything, and reject everything......" Wang Qinghua said.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, even if I knew that the leylines were forbidden to the mermen, it would not help, because it was also a forbidden area for humans.

The former is Longtan, and the latter is the tiger's den, both of which are not suitable places for human survival.

Human slash-and-burn farming was planted on the surface of the earth, and it has taken many generations of evolution to create today's prosperity. If you escape into the leylines, the previous history will become a blank and meaningless.

I know that Miki used to live and die with me, and every word he says now is for me.

A European theoretical physicist once made a great prediction that in the end, human beings will be forced to escape into the ground due to the earth's greenhouse effect, which causes the surface to no longer be suitable for survival. It was called the ultimate "human Dunkirk retreat", and it was the same as the "Ark Project" carried out by the United States in the depths of the Himalayas.

The latter is to combat the inevitable surface floods, while the former is to deal with devastating blows from outer space, such as sunspot explosions and solar storms.

"Going underground is the last option. Miki's voice came again.

"Or, the strange structure of the earth's hollowness and dense veins is precisely created for human existence. If you think about it a little deeper, the reason why the earth is able to give birth to single-celled organisms and multicellular humans is precisely because it is hollow. Humanity is super-adaptable, even in the utterly dark leylines, to thrive until it is reborn after the Great Apocalypse. This is something that large dinosaurs can't do. Human beings can make tools, inherit information, and constantly pass on the experience of their predecessors to future generations, so that future generations can avoid detours and develop iteratively on the basis of the science and technology of their predecessors...... When I say this, I actually got an axe in front of Mr. Xia. With Mr. Xia's wisdom, he must be able to understand the importance of 'escaping into the leylines', isn't it?"

Rebirth and rebuilding is a long process, and if humanity is forced to flee this time because of the threat of the merman, any attack by malicious creatures will cause humanity to retreat again and again for a long time to come.

"I've decided. I replied.

"That decision may have been wrong—" Miki immediately retorted.

"Yes, if you make a mistake, it's fatal. Mr. Xia, sometimes it is wiser to retreat strategically than to rush forward. You are a person of great wisdom and cannot do irresponsible things. If you were born in the ark of yesteryear, you were a well-deserved chosen people. The reason why Miki and I risked our lives to deliver messages from the deep leylines is precisely because your life belongs to all of humanity, not to yourself. In war, there is usually a helpless move to abandon the pawn to protect the car and the commander to protect the commander, and now, we are actually facing such a situation. Wang Qinghua added.

Sanshu grabbed the conversation again: "Mr. Xia, in the Garden of Eden in the past, God created Eve based on Adam's ribs, and only two people can successfully create the world, this is the best historical example, which is worth learning from and emulating." What I mean by this is that humanity only needs to leave two fires behind to rekindle the fire after the Great Annihilation. As for the rest, it is not a pity to discard them. ”

It's a cruel thing, but it's an indisputable fact.

The creation doctrines of all nations and nations around the world are full of such examples. In other words, in human society, only heroes are indispensable, and tens of millions of other mortals are just background boards for heroic performances. Well, it is more important than anything else for the hero to live on the path paved by mortals.

"Thank you, Mitsuki, but I have my own choice. I said.

At times like these, I'd rather be crushed than run away.

"Leylines also need heroes to create a situation and lead the rebirth and reconstruction plan, and you are definitely not a coward when you come here!" Miki is still making his final efforts.

I shook my head and waved into the black hole.

It doesn't matter what Sanshu and Wang Qinghua have had in the past and what they will have in the future, that is their life. As for me, I must now join forces with Region 51 and declare war on the Lord of the Sharks.

A hand suddenly pressed slowly on my right shoulder, and I knew it was a bearded man.

"It's not just a virtual image, and Ebelon isn't the master of everything, but just the victim of it, is he?" I asked.

There was obvious apology in the bearded man's voice, but as a representative of District 51, his words remained strong: "None of us can act on our own behalf, in District 51, there are only institutions, no individuals, only collective merit, no individualism." It doesn't matter what role Alberon plays, the point is that we have finally made you understand through various means that only by joining forces to declare war on the Lord of the Sharks is the last chance for mankind to survive. ”

I don't blame him for being subtle and empathetic about certain details, and if I had been in his position, I would probably have done the same.

As for apologies or not, it's all off topic.

"Join forces. I held out my hand to him.

"Teaming up? really?" he didn't seem to believe his ears.

"Yes, join forces, the earth is the common carrier of human survival, in the face of great destruction, regardless of Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Germans, there is only one core, that is, the right of human survival. I replied.

The bearded man frowned slightly, as if he wanted to refute me, but he immediately held back, with a sincere smile on his face, and held my hand tightly: "Well, this is the greatest good news I have heard in forty years, and it is also one of the most important tasks of my trip. If I can't persuade you to join forces, I'm probably going to commit suicide with guilt. Formally introduce myself, I'm Quinn, Mista Quinn, and I'm in charge of the next 'Pacific Clean Sea Project'. The most crucial part of this plan is to get your intention to cooperate. ”

I don't believe in the sincere smile on Quinn's face, as a spy, hiding a knife in a smile and a honey-bellied sword is one of the basic skills that must be mastered.

At this moment, he was wearing headphones in his left ear, and although his right ear was also a headphone, there was a green light the size of a pinpoint in my direction, which showed that it was a pinhole camera. There is no doubt that our conversations and everything we do here will be transmitted to another place via camera for others to see.

I guess the viewer is Quinn's boss, the big man with the decisive power.

"Take me to the chief who can decide everything. I said.

Quinn didn't hide it, and nodded briskly: "Okay, we'll see you soon, and we'll be there in about five hours...... Get where you want to go. ”

I shook my head: "Quinn, what I want to go to is the 51 regional headquarters to meet with the chief and have substantive talks. Let's stop wasting time on paper. ”

Quinn smiled, "Yes, give me five hours and I'll be able to do what you want." ”

As soon as we exited the virtual image, I noticed that the building was shaking, as if there were small, frequent earthquakes going on.

There will be no earthquake in Jinan, and the only explanation is that the buildings are in motion.

"Hiding from the world?" I asked.

Quinn nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xia, when you were concentrating on the knotted rope account and the Great Eagle Ping Bodhi Tree incident, we had already set off. The building, which had been in a large truck, had been transferred to a superplane with diplomatic immunity and was flying non-stop to headquarters. ”

I didn't show undue surprise, the super spies have more energy than you can imagine, and it is only right to do this. It should be said that as long as it is money and power can solve it, it is not a big deal, and when the situation develops to the point that even big money and power cannot be solved, it is the critical moment when the super thaumaturgist appears.

"I'm sorry, I was worried about you...... I was afraid that you would be like other Chinese thaumaturgists, and when it came to Sino-US cooperation, they would walk away with righteous indignation, so they took action in advance and adopted this kind of 'hiding from the world' strategy. Now I know that it's really ...... We Americans are really like villains and gentlemen. "Quinn finally apologized to me.

With his status, it is very rare to be able to treat each other with such sincerity.

"I accept your apology, but you must make amends, and that is to work with me to persuade the big man to go all out and kill the Lord of the Sharks. I said.

Quinn's mood was not optimistic, but responded unusually cautiously: "Mr. Xia, in the American political system, no subordinate can influence the will of the superior, and any superior's decision must be in line with the facts and basically correct, otherwise someone will be complained, resulting in the loss of all positions, even high-ranking officials in the industry." So, I don't dare to guarantee anything, but it depends on the outcome of your negotiations with the bigwigs. ”

He gave the name of the big man, and I couldn't help but be in awe.

According to the current constitution and military regulations of the United States, the real name of the big man cannot be found in the newspapers. When he led the coalition forces to fight in the deserts of the Middle East, military briefings and mobilization reports at all levels used "Thor" as his code name.

During the battle of Baghdad, all units were afraid of the enemy's elite Republican Guard. Thor went into battle shirtless and personally led an armored force into the south gate of Baghdad, reaching the presidential palace and defeating the so-called Republican Guard.

He is a cold-blooded hawk who is accustomed to solving problems with an iron fist, and even the political bigwigs in Congress are in awe of him.

Without a good reason, it is difficult to say that he was moved to act.

"I tried, but it is said that General Thor did not even give the president face, and in the process of formulating the battle plan, he rejected President Bush's telephone suggestions several times. This person's personality is really like a fire and upright...... "I can't go on."

I really don't know whether a person who even the president dares to refuse outright will believe some theories in the thaumaturgical world.

Over the next few hours, I had more than an hour of deep conversations with Ross and Quiel.

Ross wants back the rope that belonged to him, but the secrets hidden in the knots have been deciphered, and the existence of the rope is meaningless.

"I always thought that my thaumaturgy research had reached a peak, clever enough, meticulous enough, and now that I know you, I realize that it is the peak of my own intelligence, and no one else. The world is big, and the masters are like clouds. From now on, even if I don't obey others, I will obey you. He stroked the knot in the rope with a look of utter frustration.

I have no intention of defeating him, but he has been defeated, and that is the worst thing. He didn't have any ideas other than being ashamed of himself.

"Don't say that, the realm of thaumaturgy is vast, and no thaumaturgist can say that he knows everything, you and I are the same. Therefore, the fact that my understanding of this matter is higher than yours does not mean that your exploration has lost its meaning. The Chinese have an old saying, live to learn from the old. I forward this sentence to you, hoping that we will continue to improve ourselves in the world of thaumaturgy throughout our lives, and continue to improve, worthy of the great title of 'thaumaturgist'. I humbly responded.

Roth admired me even more, and bowed to me several times.

"After this campaign, I moved to South America to continue my research on knotted rope accounts. There are many primitive indigenous tribes there, and many of the ancient ways of recording, calculating and even eating habits are well worth studying. Human history is as fascinating as a kaleidoscope, and I am willing to devote my life to the end of it. Rouse said.

His great ambition is also worth learning from, when the origin of human history is perfectly traced, it will help modern people correct the fallacy of life, return to the primitive life of pure nature, and awaken the deep-buried code of eternal life, which is of great significance.

"I know that some Japanese thaumaturgists are also conducting research in this direction, and have succeeded in deciphering a large number of ancient materials on the knotted rope chronicles, compiling them into a book called 'The Art of Ropes', which is distributed worldwide—" I said.

Luo Shi waved his hand angrily: "The research done by the Japanese ...... What they did was nothing more than plagiarize the research results of Chinese scientists in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called compilation into a book is nothing more than a translation of ancient Chinese into modern Japanese, and has no academic positive significance. The Japanese used to do this, including their proud sword-casting process, the essence of which was copied from China. As an American, I don't understand why students beat their teachers during World War I and World War II.

His indignation is not groundless, the argument that "the Japanese plagiarize" has always existed, and it is the consensus of righteous scientists all over the world.

Every time the metaphor of "students beating teachers" is mentioned, it will make Chinese embarrassed.

It is true that Japan is a Chinese student, and the most stupid and uncreative student, lagging far behind South Korea and Eastern Europe in their studies. However, such an unsuccessful "student" stabbed the Chinese "teacher" one after another. Until now, he is still sharp-tongued and denies in every possible way, and does not dare to frankly admit the historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre.

"Sorry, what I just said was just an academic question. I said.

"Even academically, I don't want to be in the same league as the Japanese. "In this respect, I'm very different from Albert. He was not only pro-Japanese, but also accepted a Chinese-Japanese disciple named Yingzhen. In my opinion, Alberton had no concept of good and evil, and would do whatever it took to pursue the truth. He was fortunate to be dead, otherwise once such a person had power and ability, he didn't know what kind of crazy thing he would do. ”

Albert's ending is very weird, and I haven't talked to Quinn yet.

Of course, it depends on what Quinn means. If he doesn't want to speak, I can't force it.

"Lotus, you're a good man. I held out my hand to Rose.

"I'm a ...... Stupid good guy, but I'd rather continue to be stupid than live an unprincipled life like Albert. Rose took my hand and laughed.

We talked for an hour, and Ross was still unsatisfied. It wasn't until someone knocked on the door outside that he reluctantly got up and opened the door.

The voice of the person outside the door was very beautiful: "Mr. Rose, Mr. Quinn wants to see Mr. Xia, please stay away for the time being." Their conversations are secret, so you'll have to stay far enough away to comply with security and confidentiality laws. ”

It was a young girl's voice, speaking in Japanese English, and her choice of words and sentences was extraordinarily gentle.

Rose sneered: "Why did you come to inform? Doesn't Quinn know that I hate Japanese people the most?"

The girl was not angry, but replied softly, "Mr. Rose, it is not an honorable thing to hate the Japanese. If you are a senior, you must know that racial discrimination is strictly prohibited in Area 51, and that if you discriminate against the Yamato ethnic group in Japan, you will be discriminating against blacks. Violating racial discrimination regulations is a felony and is likely to threaten your future. However, the regulations are dead, people are alive, everything can be changed, as long as you leave in time, the words just now will slowly dissipate into the air, no one will remember, it means that no one hears. Okay, okay?"

Luo Shi choked and snorted coldly, unable to find any strong words to fight back, so he could only go out in a negative anger, slam the door, and then leave.
