Prologue The withered lily
In July 327 of the post-disaster calendar, the four-leaf star, the maple leaf continent, and the Xiangsha port. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The weather of Xiangsha Port is always so sunny, the fine sand on the beach, blowing under the sea breeze, makes a burst of crisp sound, every morning, the unique sound of sand will sound on time, just like the industrious alarm clock, for the residents of Xiangsha Port to wake up a new day.
Listening to the crisp music of Xiangsha, Lily carefully closed the door of the hotel room and walked out of the town along the stone streets of Xiangshagang Town.
Lily is a very beautiful woman, twenty-four or five years old, long silver hair is coiled into a bun on the top of her head, making her look neat and capable, firm and straight nose bridge, representing her inner tenacity and fortitude, slightly upturned corners of the mouth, no matter when it seems to be a smile, white earlobes are plump and round, with two white studs with lily patterns on them, slender neck like a swan version of noble and elegant, slender figure swaying with footsteps, like a white lily swaying in the wind. She wore a white suit that made her look neutral, tightly wrapping her pants and silver heels, making her legs appear more slender. Lily held a silver cane in her hand, and as she walked, the cane was randomly pointed on the ground, and her movements were as natural as that of an ancient gentleman in the Peach Leaf Continent.
Lily seems to be just strolling at random, but in fact her speed is very fast, from the port town to the sea by land, ordinary people may take half an hour, and Lily only walked at random for five minutes, five minutes later, with a fishy sea breeze blowing in the nose, the end of the field of vision, has been occupied by the boundless sea water, on the sea, there is a huge black shadow, obviously, it is a giant sea ship, but no one knows why it did not stop in the port, but stopped in the center of the sea from the beach is still a hundred meters away.
Of course, Lily knew, because that's where she stopped, seeing the giant ship moored at sea, Lily smiled elegantly, nodded with satisfaction, strolled to the beach, palms in front of her, looking at the big ship in the sea from a distance, looked at it for a while, then sighed softly, and said with a little regret, "I have made a lot of guesses, but I never thought that you were waiting for me here." ”
"In this life, there must be something unexpected that happens, so it will be more interesting, isn't it?" A chubby man, turned out from behind a reef not far away, the man was wearing a cloth robe in the traditional style of the Maple Leaf Continent, his face was full of stubble and unshaved, and his unkempt short hair was very clean, but he resolutely refused to comb it neatly, as for his feet without shoes at all, he stepped on the beach barefoot, but there was no sense of disobedience. The strange man walked slowly to Lily's side, patted his protruding little belly, and watched the big ship with her, "Is this the Dragon King that attracted Mr. Longjiu, Mr. Yun, Mr. Bai, and Mr. Ying because of a name, and almost destroyed the Dragon King of the two cities? ”
"Hehe, Mr. Dragon King Yun is the first hero, how can he tolerate his title being used in the same boat, it is not strange to fight. Lily looked sideways at the man and smiled, shook her head, and said, "However, this is just a fake that I have copied according to the record." What you said was more than 300 years ago, and no matter how strong the Dragon King is, it is impossible for it to be as new after 300 years, besides, the Dragon King has already disappeared into the depths of the sea with the sea god, so it will not appear here. Hmm, since you're here, it means that you've definitely been to that place, and the only place where you can see the Dragon King again is there, why, haven't you seen it?"
"I didn't see it. The chubby man didn't deny that he had been there, but just shook his head and said, "There's nothing there." ”
"It's not that there's nothing. Lily wagged her fingers mischievously and said, "At least there's one more door." ”
"yes. Reluctantly, the man said, "At least there's one more door." ”
The two of them were suddenly silent, looking at the big ship side by side, and neither of them would speak, until even the sound of the sand gradually stopped, and the man sighed and whispered, "Go back, forget about it, and don't think about opening that door again." ”
"Do you have to stop me?" Lily frowned, "Mr. Flower, I thought we were friends. ”
"We used to be friends. Mr. Hua smiled bitterly, "If you can forget about it, as long as you are willing to accept it in the future, you will still be friends." ”
"Why are you doing this?" Lily's smile was a little more helpless, "What's behind the door?"
"It's another door. Mr. Hua said softly, "You have already guessed what is behind the second door, which is the truth of this world, the truth that will change the fate of the whole world." ”
"You see?" Lily's eyes narrowed, and there was anticipation in her voice.
"Disappointed you, I didn't see anything because I didn't have the courage to witness the truth of the world with my own eyes. Mr. Hua shook his head and said, "Standing in front of the door, I didn't dare to push open the second door at all, I didn't understand until then that once I opened that door, there was no way back, and this responsibility to change the world is not something that a mortal like me can bear." ”
"So, when you come back, you're going to try to stop anyone from opening that door?" asked Lily in a low voice, "whatever it takes to do so?"
"You've misunderstood one thing, I'm just one of those who want to keep a secret. Mr. Hua pointed to his nose and said, "I am neither the first nor the last, and there are at least five people who keep this secret now, all of whom stopped at the second door, or whose ancestors once stopped at the second door and passed on the task to future generations." ”
"There are so many people, I thought you were the only one. Lily was stunned and asked curiously, "Who are they, who organized you?"
"I, the ground mouse, Xiao Lao, the Snow Girl, and Yao Peihuan. Mr. Hua didn't hide it at all and said, "Just the five of us." As for the fact that the organizers do not exist at all, if you can get there you know, there is no need for organizers, we are all spontaneous decisions to stop anyone from trying to open the second door. ”
"Are you kidding? Yao Peihuan knew, how could her husband not know. Lily asked with a smile, "That's six people." ”
"Well, it seems that the secret of the two of them is really known to the entire four-leaf star, but they don't bother to tell them, they still think they are well disguised. Mr. Hua was silent for the two couples for a second, "But it's nothing, there are actually six of the five insiders, isn't this a normal thing?"
"Your joke isn't funny at all. Lily rolled her eyes and wanted to laugh, but in the end she just sighed and said, "So, no matter what, you're going to stop me?"
"Can't you just listen to me?" said Mr. Hua, frowning, "why do you have to open it? ”
"Hehe, curiosity kills not only cats, but maybe lilies as well. Lily smiled indifferently, "Moreover, you don't have the courage to take on the responsibility of changing the world, so what qualifications do you have to stop me from changing? Don't forget, preventing others from changing the world is actually a change in the fate of the world, and your behavior is itself a manifestation of selfishness." ”
"Because the world is not only yours, but also everyone's, and neither you nor I have the right to decide the fate for everyone. The expression on Mr. Hua's face gradually disappeared, and he said solemnly, "The choice you want to open the door is not another kind of selfishness." ”
"Hehe, people, they're all selfish. Lily smiled and said, "So you see, in the end, we are just acting with our own selfish thoughts, you think that the door cannot be opened, but I think it should be opened, not involving the whole world, but each of us firmly believes in our own ideas." ”
"Phew, maybe you're right, stick to your beliefs, sure enough, our group of people are all stubborn guys. It's ironic, what Mr. Long Jiu personally sealed, his descendants want to uncover in every possible way. Mr. Hua suddenly took two steps back, his fists clenched, the source energy in his body began to surge, and he said with a stern face, "Since this is the case, there is nothing to say." ”
"That's refreshing, in fact, since you appeared, there is nothing to say. Lily waved her cane and flung it in the air, and the one-meter-long cane stretched to two meters, and at the top of the cane, the flat blade popped out, and in a second, the small cane transformed into a giant scythe. Lily put the sickle on her shoulder, and her slender body carried a sickle longer than herself, there was always an indescribable disobedience, but she was obviously used to it, and just said with a smile, "By now, language is redundant, so let's use source energy to speak." However, if you don't have the will to fight at all, do you really have the ability to speak?"
"O silver Death. Mr. Hua looked at the figure in front of him, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, his two fists kept clenching, and his finger joints made a series of popping sounds, which lasted for a long time, but finally he snorted hard, and the soles of his feet stepped heavily on the sand, and the next moment the figure had appeared a hundred meters away, and when he stepped out, he turned into a small black dot and disappeared at the end of the beach.
"So, what the hell is he here for?" said Lily as she looked at the direction in which Mr. Hua had disappeared, "Do you just want to go through the motions and show your presence?"
"Of the six of us, he was the least determined to keep secrets. Not far behind the lily, I don't know when there was already standing an old man with white hair and wrinkled face, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, the old man stood there with a long cane, standing there with his back bent, looking very tired, gasping and saying, "And he is friends with you, so he can't raise the will to fight, and he can't fight you, I'm not surprised at all." ”
"Then you let him come. Lily turned to face the old man, "Is it just to make up the numbers?"
"And that's not because you're moving too fast. The old man said angrily, "I am closer to him from here, and I have to travel day and night to rush over, and the others can't catch up at all, you obviously did it on purpose." ”
"It's a pity that because of a little thing, it's still a step slow. Lily chuckled reservedly and said, "Otherwise, I would have set off yesterday evening." ”
"I don't feel sorry for it. The old man pouted and said, "Lady Lily, I have a very important question for you, do you want to die?"
"I'm not sick in the head. Lily looked at the old man with a patient-like look and said, "How can you want to die." ”
"What a coincidence, I don't want to. The old man said, "Since we don't want to die, it's better for each of us to take a step back, and when we fight, no one should fight with anyone, and keep restraint with each other, and if the result is that you lose, then you promise us to forget that place, and completely let go of the idea of opening that door, and if I lose, I will pass out as if I had an asthma attack." ”
"Hey, Mr. Xiao. Lily rolled her eyes and said, "I thought you were as principled as Mr. Xie." ”
"In addition to principles, I also have asthma. The old man said nonchalantly, "Don't talk nonsense, do you agree with this proposal?"
"Well, I don't have a problem with that. Lily tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded, "I can't lose anyway." ”
"It seems to be underestimated by young people. The old man narrowed his eyes and raised his crutches horizontally in front of his chest, "I have been sitting at the top for almost fifty years, what gives you the courage to think that you will not lose?"
"Because I don't have asthma. Lily smiled and teased, "I'm healthy." ”
"Hmph. The old man almost choked to death by Lily's words, and made up his mind not to fight with the hateful woman in front of him anymore, and the crutches in his hand slowly changed the angle little by little as if he were carrying a thousand pounds of burden.
Lily stopped smiling, took two steps back with a grim face, and the sickle in her hand was raised, pointing at the old man opposite.
Neither of them made any further movements, as if they were just standing opposite each other from a distance, but the source energy in their bodies was climbing wildly, and even the ubiquitous sea breeze bypassed the two of them, not daring to enter the battlefield between the two. Not only that, but at the feet of the two of them, the fine pieces of sea sand were slowly disappearing at an imperceptible speed, so slow that it was hard to notice, but it was indeed disappearing.
The world is made of matter, but all matter, after all, is made of source energy, as the top source energy ability, when they mobilize the source energy in the body to the apex, the external matter will even be affected, slowly converted into pure source energy, and their full load of attacks, can easily destroy the matter, the matter that is not protected by energy, restore the most primitive source energy. Therefore, when the matter begins to disappear, it means that the battle enters the most critical stage, and the next moment, life and death may be separated at any time.
Neither of the two people wants to die, no normal person wants to die, so they are extra cautious and devote themselves to this battle, in the consciousness of the two, the world has disappeared, the beach, the sea, the ships, everything no longer exists, even the purpose of the battle has been forgotten, the only thing left is the opponent in front of them.
However, in the next moment, the mutation protruded, and the sand behind the lily suddenly exploded, and a short, thin, gray figure emerged from the exploding sand, flashing against the lily's back like lightning, laughing harshly, and disappearing from view in an instant.
"Ground mouse!" the sudden change made the old man's eyes almost split, and he cried out through gritted teeth, "You dare to do such a shitty thing." ”
"I'm here to help you, old and immortal. The loud laughter came from afar, and the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely, "You should thank me, hahahahaha." ”
The old man seemed to have suddenly aged a few years, his back was bent even more, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lily's eyes, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just slapped himself in the face fiercely, and chased down in the direction where the ground mouse disappeared.
"Huh. Lily remained motionless all the time, and it was only now that she let out a few indefatigable chuckles, as if self-deprecating, and in the midst of the laughter, a thin line of blood appeared on her white neck. The blood line became thicker and thicker, and from the edge of the blood line, blood began to drip down.
"Alas. Lily let out a final sigh and turned her head, trying to focus on the direction of Xiangsha Harbor when it arrived. But just halfway through his turn, his slender neck suddenly broke in two, and the beautiful head rolled down his body and fell to the sand.
However, none of the four noticed that on the top of a towering building in a distant port town, a young girl was sitting in a corner trembling with a huge gun in her arms.
"Sister, sister, Sister Lily. The girl trembled, her face turned pale, her eyes were blank, and at this moment, all that filled her eyes was blood gushing from her neck and the head rolling to the ground. The girl's voice trembled like fallen leaves in the wind, as if she was talking to her decapitated sister, and as if she was saying it to herself, "You can't die, you won't die, I won't let you die like this, absolutely not, you will definitely live, you will definitely live." ”
