Chapter 60. You are the lighthouse, not the sun

Zhou Jinru's scalp was tingling, he didn't immediately break free of Belinda's embrace, and looked at the citizens who were slumped together, the music was still echoing in his ears, but the current situation was really beyond his expectations.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

He tugged Belinda's arm, and found that the other party's strength was very strong, and he was not willing to leave at all.

Her eyes were misty, and she said softly: "You Yan have a saying that moths fight fires. ”

She was the moth that put out the fire now.

Zhou Jinru ignored her at all, this woman had lost her mind, and he had to find a way to find Serena now.

"Return."

Thinking silently about these two people in his heart, his body immediately sank, and because his autonomous consciousness was extremely strong, it only took a very short time to wake up from the bed.

Stretching out his hand and patting his head in a daze, he entered the dream again, appearing in the square more than ten meters away from Belinda, with the citizens who collapsed to the ground at his feet, the music was still the same melody, and the time between them could almost be ignored.

"Listen to me now, I don't have time to play games with you!"

He turned to leave, and Belinda called from behind him: "You want to go to the Queen of Diamonds, do you know where she is?" ”

The voice was extremely cold, no longer ambiguous before, Belinda's expression was calm, and her eyes when she looked at Zhou Jinru did not have that kind of hot blessing

"Lead the way."

I don't know what happened during the time he left, but at least he can speak normally, Zhou Jinru will not refuse the other party's request, he is still in a state of confusion.

"It seems that you don't know anything about our situation."

Belinda's fingers holding the door handle trembled, seemingly calm, but her words were viring.

Zhou Jinru sat in the back row, anxiously watching the people lying on the ground everywhere, who seemed to have no worries about what was about to happen.

There is no future, the real meaning of this sentence is that their dungeon is about to come to the end?

"You can tell me, maybe I have a way."

Belinda started the car slowly and shook her head slightly: "There is no way, even the Diamond Queen is helpless, no one can save us." ”

Zhou Jinru frowned and said, "Sereya's? ”

"The Queen of Diamonds has been out in the dark for a while, and every time she comes back, she rests for a while, but this time she rested for two, and she brought back desperate news."

Belinda said the most desperate words in the calmest tone, Zhou Jinru listened to it incredible, but he could also feel the fear in the other party's heart.

This underground city was the only one within the limits of what they could explore, and there was no other sound except the people who lived here.

"Yours is true, could it be that there are other underground cities farther away?"

"I don't know, that's what the Queen of Diamonds meant, she told us everything, maybe not, but certainly the part we can know."

Zhou Jinru nodded, he pointed to the people outside the car window: "Are they all dead?" ”

"Not yet, but at least one last sweet dream."

Belinda had tears in the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help but wipe her cheeks several times.

"I'm ready, all of us are ready."

The car was parked outside the government office, Zhou Jinru rushed out of the car, and rushed all the way inside, without any obstruction along the way, and there were even guards who opened the door for him, as if someone had already ordered him to do so.

As soon as he stepped into Serea's office, he saw the Diamond Queen, dressed in a black cloak, standing in front of the portrait of Airao, and although the portrait had been cut open and had not been repaired, she still stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed her face, her eyes full of tenderness.

"You're here."

"I need a Ming, one of your subordinates, there is no future here, you can tell me, we will figure it out together."

Serea's fingers rested on the corners of Hemer's mouth, as if she could still feel the other's body temperature.

"Do you remember those fugitives?"

Serena said something that Zhou Jinru couldn't figure out, he did contact the fugitives, so he had to nod his head.

"I've talked to them, and they have a lot of respect for the Queen of Diamonds."

Serena said indifferently: "The nearest settlement here is 450 kilometers, it is a place of only tens of thousands of rao, but it is an important passage connecting the original Letania and Syracuse, and more importantly, its original site is a mobile city that has been scrapped."

"I'm listening."

The Diamond Queen nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"It's gone."

It's gone?

"It's gone?"

"Yes, gone, completely gone."

Sereya looked at Zhou Jinru's face full of confusion, turned around and took out a blank piece of paper from the desk, and drew two dots in the middle of the paper.

"This is where we are."

Serea marked one of the dots with a pen and drew a triangle on the other.

"This is the closest dungeon to us"

Sting.

Sereya's index finger swiped between the two points, and the whole paper was split in two, and she held the half of the paper representing the underground city under her feet and placed it in front of Zhou Jinru.

"It's gone."

Zhou Jinru's mind was blank, Sereya's metaphor was very vivid, her meaning was just like the paper in her hand, the underground city 450 kilometers away was not destroyed, nor moved, but disappeared directly!

"I didn't even get to that underground city, the straight line was truncated, it was a force I couldn't understand, it tried to suck me into it, I used all my strength to barely escape."

This time Zhou Jinru understood thoroughly, no wonder he hadn't been able to see Serya the first few times he entered the underground city, she wasn't here at all, and when they met for the first time, what he saw was an exhausted Serenya.

He thought she was going to fight, but he didn't expect to face such a desperate situation.

"What about the other directions?"

"No, nothing Sakura"

Serena tore open the paper in her hand one by one, and in the end only an island remained.

"The rift zone has always been stationary, but I can confirm that it cannot be entered by Rao alone, it can kill everyone."

At this point, Zhou Jinru has no choice, this is no longer a problem that can be solved by manpower.

"Those who fled ......"

"They are indeed from that underground city, but their perceptions are all biased to varying degrees, and no one can agree on the details of the escape route."

Zhou Jinru said incredulously: "I thought I was listening to a story." ”

"This is just the beginning, look at this."

Serenia handed him a document and flipped through the first page, which contained a text message from another underground city, which appeared to be the arrival of a caravan on its way

"Now they'll never come?"

Zhou Jinru's expression was complicated, he put down the documents, and rubbed his face vigorously.

"Yes, they disappeared into the rift zone, but the text messages were still delivered, and each one was repeating the same message, as if it were ......"

"Cassette."

Zhou Jinru exhaled a breath of turbidity, stopped the movements of his hands, and hesitated: "Is there really no way at all?" ”

Serena showed a rare smile and turned her head to look at Hemer's portrait: "It's just one morning and one night." ”

"I want to struggle a little more."

"Go ahead and let them cooperate with all your actions, but only in the underground city, the darkness on the surface is not something you can bear, and you are far from enough now."

Zhou Jinru raised his head and looked directly at the Diamond Queen: "Everyone is here, I am a lighthouse, a lighthouse that guides the way forward." ”

"The lighthouse can only guide those who are lost in the dark, do you feel the dependence of others on you? What really dispelles the darkness is the sunlight that illuminates the world, the sun on which all things live, and you are just a lighthouse, not the sun. ”

Serena paused and continued: "I have sensed the restlessness of the source stone vein, it will soon enter a berserk state, this time I can't guarantee that it will be able to suppress it, if you really want to do something, you might as well try to stop those swarms of source stone worms." ”

Seeing Zhou Jinru leave, Serena remained in place, her gaze always staying on Hermer's face.

But all this is undoubtedly tricky for Zhou Jinrulai, and the information provided by Serena all points to an ending, the underground city is trapped in place.

It has become an island, and when the tide rolls, all life on the island will drown in the tide.

He couldn't help but feel extremely anxious, he had lost his normal heart, and even Fu couldn't calm his emotions.

The pain in his heart stems from the fact that he can't do anything, and he doesn't have the power to save the lives that are about to pass here.

At this time, Belinda had been waiting outside for a long time, and when she saw him come out, she walked up quickly, and found that the man's face was as gloomy as water, and she had guessed a few points, and showed a rather sweet smile at this moment of urgency.

"No one is asking you to do it, and no one is going to blame you."

Looking at Belinda's smile, his emotions could not be infected at all, and he just said: "I have heard similar words, she used to be a Sakota. ”

"Looks like you've really provoked a lot of girls."

Zhou Jinru shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "I will be back soon." ”

Get out of the dream.

Zhou Jinru sat up from the bed abruptly, turned on the lamp, and through the orange-yellow light, he noticed that the time was three o'clock in the morning.

"There's no time."

He put on his clothes and ran to the control center, where he saw Amiya resting in front of the desk.

"I'm sorry, Amiya."

Zhou Jinru pressed the button for the emergency call, and all he could do at this time was brainstorming, and his actions woke up Amiya, and the rabbit looked at him in surprise.

"Doctor, you're not in a wheelchair?"

Zhou Jinru was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he ran over directly, and he didn't feel anything unusual, and the wheelchair had long been forgotten.

"There's no time, call an emergency meeting immediately, I'll wait for you in the conference room."

Watching Zhou Jinru leave in a hurry, Amiya silently cleaned up the scattered documents on the desktop, and she found that the doctor's heart was already in chaos, and it was difficult to concentrate on thinking about the problem in this state.

Sitting in the empty conference room, Zhou Jinru closed his eyes, recalling his panicked behavior before, whether he was facing 500,000 life and death, or a helpless death!

No matter how strong Serena's strength is, she chooses to tell her subordinates the truth, this game is unsolvable, we have the last beautiful dream, and say goodbye to this world with dignity.

The emergency summoning of the control center brought all the core layers of Rhode Island to the scene, except for Amiya and Kelsey, Warfarin yawned in a nightcap, Xiu San wore pajamas, and even Doberman came over with cotton slippers.

Zhou Jinru saw that everyone had arrived, there were no polite words, he went straight to the point and explained the details of the situation, and finally asked everyone for help.

"Can I ask a question first?"

Xiu San wiped the corners of his eyes, his voice buzzing, and he didn't seem to have woken up yet.

Zhou Jinru looked at the temporary head of the equipment department: "What's the problem?" ”

"Doctor, you just now, those people, seem to be in one archive?"

"That's fine."

"Since it's an archive, they're not real, they're just a mess of data, do you understand what I mean?"

Xiu San opened his eyes, glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Zhou Jinru's not good-looking face: "I once played a multi-ending game, the kind I saw for the first time, there was no strategy and no experience, it was all played by feeling, and in the end it only played a medium to lower ending." ”

"I don't know if anyone has heard of it, a text adventure game produced by Longmen, college entrance examination love for 14 weeks, after I played the first ending, I thought to myself what kind of ending the protagonist would have made other choices, so I tried my best to play the second time, the third time, until the perfect ending of one of the heroines came out, my heart was empty, even if the characters in the game got a happy ending, so what, Guan Ling, they are just a mess of data, not real."

"A turnip is a pit, doctor, the archive is just the archive, you should distinguish between reality and illusion."

Do you distinguish between reality and fantasy......

Is it like Vina at the time?

Zhou Jinru shook his head and said, "I insist on my own opinion. ”

Amiya nodded solemnly: "I support the doctor." ”

Hua Farin was completely sleepy, and her red eyes were staring: "The doctor is the same as Sister Vena now?" ”

"Can I share my opinion?"

The scavenger, who rarely spoke at meetings, put down her pen, her voice echoing through the conference room.

"Please."

The scavenger's fingers pinched the pen and said indifferently: "Since the doctor believes that those are true, he chooses to do his best, I choose to support his decision, sometimes hesitation will lead to a greater tragedy, try my best to do it, even if it doesn't succeed, then I can say to myself, I did my best, and I don't have to regret it afterwards." ”

"Thank you."

Zhou Jinru thanked the scavenger.

The cold scavenger pursed his lips: "Doctor, I just want you to sleep peacefully in the years to come, and you don't have to regret the decision you made in your sleep." ”
