Chapter Twenty-Three: Becoming a Beast
The Gear Man doesn't cry.
At that time, Gu Chuan thought that he had seen a silent person who was gazing at the abyss of time in immobility and immutability.
She sat silently in the grass like a statue, only to shake as if she were electrocuted when Hatsuyun touched her hands or back.
This kind of shaking makes Hatsumo feel cute, a bit like her former doctor, touch it, and it will be like this.
She just wanted to say something, but Gu Chuan spoke:
"We're not here to hurt you, you don't have to be afraid of us. We're not going to do anything, sorry...... Disturbed you......"
Ziyuan didn't make any movement, just continued to hug his body.
Chu Yun looked sideways, and the young man's unexpected peace made her feel amused.
"Didn't you always have the idea of taking Ziyuan away? You've changed your mind! ”
The girl stood up and winked at him.
The words of the two entered the ears of the gear man word for word.
"It's impossible now." Gu Chuan turned his head sideways, not daring to look at Chu Yun, he was afraid that she would see his timidity, "I'm afraid it's already difficult for us to do this." We haven't done anything good to her, all we can do is give her the peace she wants...... I thought it would be nice that way. ”
They had already prepared two large backpacks and a small trailer, which was already fully stuffed with the supplies they needed for a distance.
The Cogwheel people also knew the nearby terrain well, in other words, they knew the location of more than forty alien tribes, including several oases and underground ancient ruins.
With these locations as a backdrop, they can easily plan their routes, and if they encounter unexpected situations in the wild, they can return to the oasis or alien tribes to try to resupply.
One problem is that they don't have any information about the southern end of the wilderness, only that the cogwheel people are vague and say that the largest number of their world's problem solvers are dying there.
Between the flipping of thoughts, Chu Yun had already put on his heavy bag and said:
"Let's go?"
"Hmm."
It's just that when the young man's hand rested on the edge of the gear again, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Ziyuan, who had been squatting there.
Ziyuan is still silent, like an abyss that has not changed.
"Why would you rather do nothing when you're pretending to be dead when you're in pain...... Don't want to leave here? Or is it that you're not in pain, it's all just me...... What about false imaginations? ”
He asked.
The room was empty and dark, and there was no reverberation.
He didn't expect an answer, and after a few moments, he quietly closed the door.
But at that moment, he seemed to hear a voice, coming from behind the door.
No one could see Ziyuan's appearance at that time, only heard her say:
"We can't leave, we were born from our gurus, our lives belong to our gurus, we have a mission, we have to carry on the legacy of our gurus. I can't disobey the Guru because they are my creator, my ...... Ancestors. ”
It's parents, it's grandparents, it's ancestors.
Her silhouette disappeared behind the door in the darkness.
She was still talking, but Gu Chuan couldn't hear her words later.
Why are the Gear People here, why do they look like people, why are they answering questions, and why are they all-encompassing?
With all kinds of doubts, he followed behind Hatsukumo.
The dragon's heart horn was pinned to his waist.
He wasn't going to return the murder weapon that had been stabbed in his head.
Hatsuun and him ran one after the other, all the way to the upper floor, closer to the location of the city wall. The roads blocked by various materials and walls are becoming more and more complicated.
But as long as they have a compass in hand, they will never lose their way.
They were careful to avoid the group of cogwheel men lying on the ground with plaque on their bodies, and they avoided the cogwheel men who were still awake in various ways while patrolling, and even more so the cogwheel men who were looking for some traces.
Hatsukumo's athletic abilities are incredible, and the young man's body has been trained for a long time, and they quickly find a credible path.
"This is the air tunnel we used to walk in when we broke in."
Now, they knew that the chameleon space was a space built by the celestial bodies to create a huge wind.
"Let's go."
They walked out of the passageway, the chameleon space still stuffed with a black sludge.
They continued on, carefully crawling on the black silt and into the pipes on the other side that led beyond the city walls.
Everything familiar made Gu Chuan feel at ease.
But the absence of the sound of wind and sand made him feel uneasy.
Two men carried their bags and ran into the darkness.
At the end of the darkness is a wall made of azure gold with holes in it.
Hatsuyun slammed his fist against the wall. Her hand was a rare, blood-red glow. And the wall grain does not move.
"How so!" The words of the antlers returned to Gu Chuan's mind, "The blockade of the building by the Gear Man...... Is it so thorough? ”
He also slammed his fist against the wall. His strength could not even provoke the resistance of the wall, but disappeared like a mud cow into the sea.
"Yes, that's what it is...... I didn't expect the cooling system to be used to limit our resistance. ”
At that moment, behind them, a voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Chuan looked back suddenly, and in the dark shadows, a cylindrical silhouette gradually emerged. A cogwheel man with others is coming here.
"I didn't expect you to come here...... Isn't this a self-defeating one? ”
The man said.
"Kyo Kuo-kyu!"
Gu Chuan clenched his fists and shouted out the man's name.
The one who came was the Mirror Tube Man.
It's just that the lens tube man at this time is obviously very different from before. Its body was in tatters, and only a few pieces of fabric remained from its original clothes, revealing the delicate mechanical structure underneath.
The only constant is his head.
In the terrifying tube, more than a dozen lenses were still floating and glowing, so they looked like holes in the darkness. Beyond the hole is ...... People who are peeping into this world.
The monster's mental state was definitely not right. The gears on his body were making a noisy, chaotic sound. He definitely didn't come with good intentions.
His only goodwill was maintained in some kind of order established by Zijin and Jingyuan.
Gu Chuan was drenched in cold sweat behind his back.
Here, there's too little room for manoeuvre.
"Doctor, we want to get out of here, you know...... It's just an accident that we're here, our purpose is to travel to a more distant place, can you get us out of here? ”
In the narrow tube, the trembling lens is like a butterfly with wings spread, and the wings of countless butterflies overlap under the eyepiece, like a kaleidoscope blooming, endless.
"Isn't it good to stay here? Does this make you feel uneasy? ”
He walked forward slowly, no longer as polite as before, Gu Chuan had no doubt that he would make a move on his side.
"You are the messengers who brought the news of the eternal luminous body called the sun, our honored guests, and your knowledge should stay here and contribute more, right?"
Standing aside, Chu Yun, who was also waiting for the battle, said:
"That's boring!"
"So you think it's a boring thing! But I can't say that, I can only say that maybe it is. Striving for accuracy, and seeking probabilistic affirmation or approximation, is our guideline. ”
These words made Jing Yujiu seem to tremble with pleasure.
But the joy of the gear man is always difficult to show. A few small hinges on the face support the shifting expression of emotion.
In the dim light emitted by the rest of the gear people, the shadow of the mirror tube man was extremely narrow, like a standing snake with an extended head, stretching all the way through the soles of Gu Chuan and Chu Yun's feet to the azure gold wall.
"Boredom is the norm, and fun is an accidental thing. Most things are boring. In this city, as us, there are actually many things, and I feel bored. Whether it is to explore the existence of celestial bodies, to understand the mysteries of the world, to maintain order, to share all the fruits, or to dialectically establish the eternal self...... So what's the point? For me, there is no added joy. ”
"So you turned your back on these? Choose to ...... with Kyunggai Do things differently? ”
Gu Chuan asked him.
Lens Barrel Man Says No:
"Have you forgotten? I say that pleasant things are always rare. Every time I set off a strong wind, I was expecting rain. A psychopathic cogwheel man said that the Great Wilderness had rained for millions of years, coming down from the moon and completely soaking the land. I was thinking, why not next time? There will be a vigorous rain, and from then on you will not be able to see the first quarter moon. Unfortunately, I never saw it. ”
The strings that hold morality together have collapsed, and what this gear man is chasing is no longer a pure answer to the problem.
He continued to approach Gu Chuan, and the distance was shortened to within thirty meters.
"But if you live long enough, will you see rain in the sky? Since the Great Wilderness was never a Great Wilderness, and the Gear People did not exist in this world. Then I began to wonder if I could see all sorts of good things if I lived long enough. ”
At that time, Kyogai said to him that they should live forever.
The greeting of that sentence made Jing Yujiu's thoughts no longer be different.
Gu Chuan didn't know what kind of fight was going on between the antlers and the mirror tube man.
But the mirror tube man is standing here, I'm afraid that the antler man is already more than lucky.
"Haha, that's true."
Gu Chuan asked again:
"Why are you telling us this?"
The boundless sand and gravel hit the fetal membranes of the heaven and earth separated by a wall, but the azure gold wall cut off all the wind and shouts outside, making the city quiet.
The tranquil dark passage is like the open esophagus of hell.
And he stood at the beginning of this esophagus, looking at these two men who had completely changed his life and destroyed all his life's research.
"Strangers, it's easy."
The Barrel Man was no longer the standard cogwheel man they had known before, but a monster closer to a beast:
"Although, we all admit that if we live long enough, we can see a lot of different things. But that's just a lot, not all. For example, if someone escapes to a place that they cannot reach on their own, and then he dies, the pessimistic alien will say that they cannot take revenge, and the optimistic alien will say that God has opened his eyes. ”
Gu Chuan saw that the other gear people who were originally standing behind him were retreating, and only the gear man of the owl that was clinging to him and could rotate its head freely was still there.
"It's as if you want to go to the end of the world, and I will continue to stay in the wilderness, waiting for the eternal rain. In that case, will we not see each other again for a long time? If you die, I'll never see you again, will I? ”
He said with great sincerity, no longer hiding the malice he had overflowed.
After hearing Gu Chuan's reply, after completing the duel with the Antlers, he would rather put aside the task in his hand and leave it to the other Gear People, and rush here.
He knew with absolute certainty that the young man would go, that he would leave, that he would never reach again.
Then the thread of their fate will be completely severed.
This is something he cannot tolerate.
"May I ask you, why did you suddenly hate us?"
Kyung didn't answer, and the question of the person in front of him was no longer important. Rather, in the process of concentrating on the light of the lens barrel, I was reminded of the past. He remembered his previous hesitation and hesitation, remembered everything he clearly remembered at that time, and only felt that everything was extremely ridiculous.
"Isn't the crux of the matter simple?"
No one has ever seen the sun.
There has never been a record of the sun left by any cogwheel man.
The source of all this information lies in the two people in front of them. And they didn't choose to be on their side.
Isn't that ridiculous?
Is he going to believe these two men?
And even if he believed the arguments of these two men, would he swallow the bitter fruit of his own bitterness?
This is not necessary to be regulated by the guru –
It's like a gear man who needs to disassemble himself.
Just like the cogwheel people are not allowed to enslave aliens.
Yes, not necessarily.
Even if it's true, it doesn't matter.
"It doesn't matter right or wrong, right now, I just want to kill you."
The mindset of the Mirror Tube Man has been completely transformed.
He was now, finally, genuinely happy.
It's not about doing things according to any norms.
Rather, it is merely to explore according to one's own instincts, to live according to one's instincts, and to do all that is pleasant.
It should be a beast.
More than a dozen lenses overlapped in a straight line, and the power that rushed out of nowhere pierced through the entire lens barrel.
This tube, when it was first installed on his body, he didn't know what it was for-
Obviously, since it is installed on my body, it is naturally for the sake of ...... Sweep away the people who make me feel pain.
"I ......"
Light that cannot be seen directly has the ability to completely crush most of the matter below the lapis gold.
In the middle of this narrow corridor, with the owl gear man behind him, he can't go wrong.
And the light is about to explode.
"Happy at last."
The unrecognizable beast raised its head.
It's just that at that moment, when the light fills the eyepiece, too much force will hinder the inflow of light from the outside. In other words, he will not be able to see anything outside of him, and he will not know what the young man in front of him has done that he must react to in time.
It was something that was pulsating in Gu Chuan's hands like a chaotic chicken......
He was thrown out.
And Chu Yun followed, slapped the ground with one hand, and flew forward in the sky while clinging to the ground.
In the next moment, the light erupted.
