Chapter Twenty-Six: Breaking Free from the Chains

It is heavier than the density of all solids, and at the same time more slippery than all solids.

The pure substance that flows slowly outside the specific barrier wall spends its never-ending years longer than the longevity of all living things. And the light reflected in it shook upwards in the abyss of the earth of thousands of meters, like a bonfire lit in the deepest night, and scattered the points of light in the sky.

At that time, the lion's head gear man was standing behind the Jingyuan, and his body was illuminated by the boundless points of light. He held his breath and thought that he had witnessed the change of power in the world of the Gear Man.

The canopy is tall, while the zijin is slightly shorter. At that time, Zijin asked Zaiyan in a low voice:

"What happens after the mentors?"

Answer:

"Mentors will stop thinking."

"Stop thinking, is this what it means to die completely?"

Jae-chan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the answer to the question. Then, he whispered an old proverb from the Gear Man:

"All the answers are like questions, and there is nowhere to go."

After saying that, he stared motionlessly at the movement of Jing Yuan turning the clockwork, like a traveler on the top of a mountain waiting for the sunrise in the east. But after a moment he found that he began to tremble, like a tree about to be uprooted in a gale, as if he were amazed at what he was doing.

And when he realized this, an unspeakable fear entered his heart irrepressibly.

The fear was vague, and he didn't know where it came from.

At that time, he remembered what Kyokyo had said to him at the beginning.

Fear is not an objective existence, but comes from our heart, it is the prejudice of the thinking body against the unknown that is difficult to reach, as long as this prejudice is eliminated and we get used to it, fear will naturally disappear, there is nothing that cannot be used to, everything is acceptable. You should not be confined to the current situation, you should be a person who surpasses the gears, and you should carry the sword.

Beyond the original gear man.

He thought.

A terrible concept.

And the gear man who implements this concept is loosening the development strip.

A creature without a face is terrifying because its mind is hidden in pure flesh. He said:

"Goodbye, my mentors...... I love you as a bird loves its nest. Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

And the light and shadow outside the blocking wall continued one after another, reflecting the deepest interior boundlessly strange, and the goat's head on the altar said flatly:

"Say something...... Alas, child. Do you know? I have seen the end of an era and a world, in which more than a million living beings have been forced to migrate from a fertile land to this eternal desolation. In that migration with no end in sight, I was surprised for the first time to find that our original creator and the first creatures I tried to create, your sisters, after death, were the same dust. ”

Kyo walked to the location of the next black box.

All those present heard the goat's head continue to speak silently:

"When we die, their stories will no longer be known, like a grain of sand disappearing into the desert. And what you are to carry, do you know clearly? ”

Speaking of this, the goat's head closed its mouth and closed its eyes.

The supply of the source has been cut off, and the Celestial Master has fallen silent.

On the side of the stone pillar, there is another black box. He took out one of the black boxes and loosened the clockwork.

That clockwork belongs to Master Junping. When the clockwork was released, the long pillar far above the psychiatric square was extinguished at the same time.

This means that a remote energy connection that has not yet been understood by the modern cogwheel man has been dissolved.

Unlike Mentor Celestial, Mentor Junping's words only rang out in Kyung's own listener. In the process of loosening the strip, he heard Mentor Junping say:

"I know that in that square, you often accuse me of being selfish, but now, I can finally tell you that we have always been selfless."

Kyungyo raised his head and listened silently.

The proof of this comes from the selfishness of you whom we have created. Although we restrict you to everything you want, we have really, from the very beginning, that you can do everything, whatever you do, no matter how you destroy us, well, now, you can go on to do anything, with your group of peopleβ€”"

After all, you are still in your youngest years.

When he said this, Master Junping also fell into eternal silence.

Kyo calmly walked to the other side, on another stone pillar with several concentric circles drawn on it. This is the mark of the Shifu Guru.

Guru Shifu is the most special of all the gurus.

He is responsible for the regulation of the speed of the gears in the city.

The mentor remained silent, only after the clockwork was loosened, and the three cogwheel men present heard a soft sigh:

"Creating ......"

Without hesitation, Kyo turned around and walked towards the cable where the naturalist's black box was located.

When he took out the naturalist's black box from the cable, Zai saw that he was visibly hesitant. The naturalist mentor is the one who communicates the most with the cogwheel people, and it is responsible for countless things, in birth, in growth, in distributing tasks or performing tasks, in ...... In the midst of everything.

Almost all of the Gear People spoke to the naturalist instructors.

When you work, when you stop, when you are bored, when you are in the dark, or when you ...... When it's quiet, even Kyoka feels warm as soon as the lights in the room start to flicker playfully.

He asked in a low voice:

"Is there anything you'd like to say, or do? Tutor ......"

"I said, boy, I don't know where to start...... Death, life, we, you, there are so many things I want to say, but many of them are entangled, and they are not clear, and this is the question of expression that we want to answer, isn't it? ”

The naturalist gently flicked all the lights in the bottom glass room. The misty light shimmered like water.

The invisible being whispered with the light:

"In the Great Wilderness, there are already infinite things that have passed away, and death will eventually come to your door, and after an unknown time and an unknown number of times, perhaps the celestial bodies in the heavens will also be displaced, showing us miracles that only exist in legends. When the time comes, I hope you don't feel the same fear as I do now. For I am confident that what you are going to do will be more mysterious and magnificent than what you have thought of and what we have conceived for you. ”

Now, in the deepest part of the world, you can climb as much as you want.

"I'm sorry, but we can't answer any of the questions."

Kyo said softly at that time.

"No, it's not like you don't have nothing to prove."

The naturalist smiled and said:

"I just remembered that perhaps, the seventeenth question has been answered because of you."

As he spoke, all the bare counting gears in the entire city stopped, and then all the lights came on the way they were supposed to, sending a signal to the cogwheel people who were still active in the city.

A signal about the imminent end of the unrest in the city.

At that time, the lens barrel man's head had once again emitted a strong light, forcing Gu Chuan and Chu Yun to throw away their backpacks, aim at the direction of the lens barrel, and roll each of them to dodge this invisible and rapid attack.

The peculiarity of this bizarre attack is that after the attack, a bright spot escapes to the naked eye. But when you see the light, it means that the attack has already been attacked, and what you see with the naked eye is useless.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine the direction of the school in advance.

The young man's thinking is very clear.

But this time the follow-up of the attack was slightly different, as when the light came on, all the lights began to flicker at the same time, and after a period of flickering, they lit up steadily.

Gu Chuan's eyes flashed by the light, and he didn't see anything for a while, only realizing that this was not a symptom of the lens tube person, but the influence of other things.

At that time, Ziyuan sensed the change in the luminosity of the outside world, suddenly raised his head, and observed the lights everywhere unexpectedly and carefully.

"Naturalist Tutor...... Have you stopped? ”

Then, in the corner, with great calmness, she began to grope for a lamp on the ground beside her, as if to get a glimpse of the naturalist movements, to determine whether it was the death of the tutors.

She quickly got her answer.

An answer that made her unbelievable -

"Naturalist tutors, and other mentors...... It's really dead......"

At the same time, she, Gu Chuan, and Chu Yun all heard the strange and calm laughter of the lens tube man.

"The turmoil in the city is coming to an end, and we are about to win......"

He began to move in Gu Chuan's direction, and that step was faster than that of the most athletic horse.

It was all complicated, but at the time it was just a matter of moments.

Gu Chuan, who was flashed, leaned on the edge of the pilot light, trying to dodge. But his body was already tired and injured, and he was moving too fast just now, and he couldn't see anything for a while, so he could only find the sound in the same place to determine the location.

By the time he judged it to be successful, it was too late.

Kyo had already pounced in front of him.

The young man regained some vision, and barely looked up, only to see a huge crack in front of him. It was an artificial functional part that grew on the belly of Kyo Koku, with a row of protruding machines, two of which looked like hands, and when he tried to move his body, he jerked his hands against the edge of the pilot light.

Kyo Kyo-koo's sounder was in the mouth of a manic beast.

"I think you've been messing with me, foreigner."

It was clear that the young man was only defending himself, but his resistance disgusted the fallen cogwheel man and deepened his hatred.

Strange emotions, beastly rage, obedient instincts and thorough psychopathic gear man by nature.

Gu Chuan saw that his lens barrel was aimed at him again, and more than a dozen lenses were fainting with light of different colors.

"Now, goodbye."

Jing Yujiu said.

At that time, Gu Chuan was completely unable to struggle, only his abdomen seemed to be burning hot, which made the dozen or so mechanical arms that Jing Yujiu used to hold down Gu Chuan feel unbalanced.

But the launch of the barrel attack was only a matter of moments.

Therefore, the young man closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.

But this is not a kind of renunciation, but a choice to commit one's destiny to one's companions.

- Hatsuyun.

Chu Yun will naturally go to save Gu Chuan, and he will definitely save him. She rolled to the other side, and while Jing Yuanjiu was speaking, she had already gotten up and was about to pounce in the direction of Jingyuanjiu.

It's just that at that moment, she saw the movement of another person, and couldn't judge the next impact, and stopped her rash behavior at the last moment:

"Ziyuan...... What are you doing? ”

For some reason, after the lights of the whole city were lit up, Ziyuan stood up suddenly. Clad in human skin, she stood in the light, like a spirit of light.

Her glass eyes were extremely dark, and her body bounced forward almost instantly, crashing straight into Jing Yujiu's body, knocking the lens tube man open.

The spider-like mirror tube man was directly slammed into the wall where Mentor Yuyu was pinning. And the mold they had used to keep the Cogwheel Man to sleep wrapped around his body, causing him to make a noise.

Gu Chuan was suddenly saved, felt the pressure on his body, and hurriedly stood up, opened his eyes, but did not see Chu Yun, but Ziyuan was looking at him intently.

"You...... Have you changed your mind? ”

But he soon knew that Ziyuan was not looking at him, but at the pilot light behind him.

"Let's go, let's go...... Gotta hurry up! ”

She grabbed the rope of the pilot light, and without looking back to the ground or hesitating, she flew outward, like a light bird.

Gu Chuan and Chu Yun glanced at each other in surprise. Gu Chuan also said:

"Let's go!"

Chu Yun, who felt sleepy, and Gu Chuan, who was close to exhaustion, both picked up their backpacks and followed behind Ziyuan together, walking towards the superiors of Jiecheng City.

Ziyuan is extremely familiar with the path in the city.

She didn't have to make any turns, she was just going up. And some of the floodgates that had been lowered are opening.

"What's going on?"

Gu Chuan asked in disbelief.

Ziyuan seemed to be in a state of complete distraction, she seemed to be sleepwalking, and naturally said what she was thinking about this question:

"It means that the Yuyu Master who is in charge of all this is being stopped."

Reaching a narrow intersection, she jerked upward, opened a special secret passageway, and began to crawl through the inaccessible pipe.

This duct is a bit like a ventilation duct, with a view of the large passage underneath.

The cogwheel people who were originally locked up outside the answer city are constantly pouring into the answer city. And the lens tube man ...... The mushroom-infected lens tube man chased them all the way.

Gu Chuan looked down in disbelief, while Jing Yujiu raised his mirror tube.

"This guy is still chasing us!"

Gu Chuan whispered in annoyance, and then was picked up by Chu Yun and leaped forward a few meters. Then their original position was pierced by a beam of light.

A few of the returning cogwheel men were frightened by the wanton destruction of Jing Yuanjiu, but as soon as they were about to get closer, Jing Yuanjiu flew into the air with the spider leg-like organ on his chest, crawled into the pipe himself, and then, chasing the figure of the young man, he traversed all the way through the narrow pipe.

"You can't escape!"

A thoroughly psychopathic coggyman let out a terrifying cry behind them.

And Ziyuan jumped down from the end of the pipe with agility and agility. Gu Chuan jumped down after her, stumbling a few steps due to his almost exhaustion. He looked left and right, and saw from the sign that they had reached the fourteenth problem area.

Ziyuan continued to walk forward.

Chu Yun grabbed Gu Chuan's hand and followed behind Zi Yuan.

"Where are you going?"

Gu Chuan asked her.

Ziyuan didn't seem to hear it, just made a sharp turn to the side.

Chu Yun and Gu Chuan made a sharp turn with her behind her. Immediately after that, there was a wall behind them, and once again an invisible light pierced through, crushing everything and causing a large number of structures to crumble.

The howling wind blew the young man's clothes, and also blew through the human skin of Ziyuan's hair.

Her jet-black hair, dancing wildly in the air, stared intently ahead.

She's running, she's running, she's running.

Gu Chuan glanced back, only to see that the mirror tube man actually jumped over from the broken wall, on top of the gears that had started to turn again, and pounced all the way to where they were originally, raising a terrible burst of dust.

"You don't want to run away, do you?"

Kyo let out a burst of oozing laughter.

It has completely abandoned the posture of a standing person, and has leapt through the air like a four-legged toad, or more of a spider.

The tube-like head shifted its position nimbly, locking their figures tightly in the center, and sending a terrifying scream from the air in front of them.

The terrifying force pierced all the walls.

Let the wind and sand outside blow into the room, burying the eternal dust of nature for the end of this turmoil.

Ziyuan then flew freely like a light bird in a huge color-changing stone space, until it reached the path on the other side.

Gu Chuan and Chu Yun followed behind her, and heard the sound of the wind, like a terrible shout. And the sand had already reached the mouth of the passage a whole layer.

In the boundless clouds, the storm rose again, stirring up an unprecedented wall of dust. Before the dust wall, there was a ghost ship crashing into the city wall, quietly gloomy in the silence.

"Once there, we can escape!"

Gu Chuan exclaimed in surprise. The last of his strength poured out from the bottom of his body, and his pace became faster.

But Kyo was faster, and when there was still a distance of nearly fifty meters behind them, he pounced. The multiple mechanical arms with teeth and claws slid through the backpack behind Gu Chuan, and then smashed into Gu Chuan's body together with all kinds of food and sharp blades in the backpack.

Chu Yun, who was holding Gu Chuan's hand, stepped back in time, and his hollow-like arm walked through the boundless air, and in that moment, he aimed at Jing Yujiu, sending out a shock in the air.

The narrow passage suddenly cracked. All three of them were blown away by the wind and fell to the ground.

Gu Chuan gritted his teeth, maintained the last strength of his heart, grabbed Chu Yun's hand, and reluctantly stood up with the strength of Chu Yun, and the two of them moved their feet together to reach the very edge of the city wall. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, and the view suddenly widens.

Outside is an endless and dim wilderness, and in the wilderness is a raging sand, and in the dust there is a beam of guiding lights.

He saw that it was Zi Yuanzheng standing alone on the empty ghost ship, illuminating the depths of the boundless dust wall with a pilot light.

Then, the young man suddenly realized what Ziyuan was about to do.

He irrepressibly rose in fear, dragged his exhausted body, and shouted loudly to Ziyuan:

"Wait for me...... Wait for us! Ziyuan, don't go! You can't run away alone! You can't! We can walk with you! ”

At the same time, Chu Yun stretched out his hand in the direction of Ziyuan, causing a wave in the air. But the wave was soon completely annihilated in the raging howling wind.

The round head on the boat did not return, and he did not give a single look to the answer city behind him.

She didn't seem to hear Gu Chuan's call, nor did she receive the signal of the wind of the first clouds, but she just stood silently on this ancient ghost ship and stared intently into the unknown distance. The ghost ship whistled like a whistle, and the pilot's light shot into the endless depths, illuminating the contours of the barren riverbed.

The ghost ship began to move. Millions of years ago, this riverbed was also a river, and at that time, the ancestors of Ziyuan's ancestors, or the creators of the creators, may not have been mechanical, or perhaps there was no human form...... But it is true that there have been free swimmers in this river, and the status quo is the same as that of the Cogwheel People.

At that time, the distance that life looked at was plunged into different darkness, but they all had a name, the unknown and the disaster.

Her hair fluttered in the wind, and her hands kept her hands on the pilot lights. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew where she was leaving.

The wind is louder, the sea of sand is mercilessly beating everything in the world, and everything is barren. Then, with her, the ghost ship sailed beyond the dust storm that ran through the sky and the earth at an unknown height of tens of thousands of meters.

It's like a bird trapped in dust for a long time flying alone into the distant sky.

Now they are no longer shackled beings.

"Where is she going? Will she ever come back? She drove the ghost ship away! ”

Hatsuyun asked blankly.

"She's not coming back, never again...... This guy, fuck, this guy, wants to break free from it all more strongly than we do! ”

On the edge of the cliff, the young man cried out in despair.

The Mentor is dead, and there is no other chain in this world that can bind her to her duty and mission.

Whether it's the chains that are about to be born as part of the new cogwheel order, or the ...... Gu Chuan or Chu Yun are two strangers who are committed to world travel.

From feelings to life, from rights to inheritance, I saw that the slave who was promised the future escaped alone into the dark world where she could not see the future, and her fate would never leave any sound on the great wilderness behind her.

The world of the past has been destroyed, and the bird in the shell has flown into the new sky.

As for the explorer who stayed on the wall, he could only look at the bottomless sea of sand at the bottom of his feet, and the boundless darkness of the dust storm in front of him, and turned around as she watched her go away.

The mad beast, the tattered man with the barrel of glasses, was walking behind them unhurriedly, and looked at the two strangers who had no way to escape with a smile, and opened his mouth, and said:

"You've been messing with me."
