Chapter Twenty-Nine: Alien Ways
Neon lights and shadows shone back and forth in the Twelfth District, and the tamers climbed on a high platform, wearing eyes to protect themselves from the wind, watching the dragons flying in the sky. They found that the allosaurs, who had been fond of whispering, no longer spoke superfluously.
"Look at them, are they tired?"
Said a domesticator.
"You might as much worry about them as we worry about ourselves...... There are many and important tasks this week, we have to raise enough supplies for the army, and I am afraid that Bu Zi's matter will be too big. ”
The other tamer, with a bloodless face, replied wearily. It began to manipulate the direction of the large indicator transistor lamp. The light continued to shine into the air. The dragons carrying the light flew from the shadows, never sending any superfluous words.
They do everything in silence, answer calmly, respond coldly, eat quietly, and finally obediently hide in their rooms, where they are buried by the closing of the door.
The garden never sleeps, and the voices of people in the distant world are still boiling.
After a moment's rest, they carefully pulled out the thread of their hearts from the earth and rock, so that they could escape into another world.
Then they changed their silence, and their minds were active to the extreme, communicating loudly, refuting loudly, flickering with information, and the fluctuations transmitted by each dragon came and went. This state lasted for a long time, until a special consciousness connected to the line.
All the dragons fell silent and began to listen intently.
Fear can make animals lose the ability to make their own judgments.
"But even if they were to deceive us, we still don't have the power...... Now all the elders, all the archdukes, are silent. We are alone. ”
On the third day, the devil mocked and asked:
"Are you doubting what you can do on your own? Men who are far weaker than you have united and overthrown our dynasty, and you have been educated beyond men, you have claws, you have tenacious wings, you have knowledge, you can know the heart, and you feel that you cannot do anything? And then you're willing to be ridden on? ”
"I ......"
The devil goes on to say:
"But you can't be blamed...... For you do not know the wickedness of man. It is also a means by which they soften you with a soft treatment, to make you submit to the comfort of the present, to divide you unconsciously, to reduce your strength, to keep you busy with meaningless things, to keep you from uniting and to make you forget...... The free skies you deserve. ”
The dragons were thrilled in their nests, and some couldn't help but let out whispering moans.
And on the fourth day, the devil brought a message that they did not expect.
"I've been out and about for a long time, and I've found out that we're not without support and support. They're in Buzi. They've won in Buzi! Many of our people are trying to restore our former glory! ”
"Wait, Bu Zi, what's the matter, we haven't heard of it......"
"Do you remember Longhou Tianting?"
The devil whispered in their minds.
A little bit of joy welled up from the depths of their hearts.
"We know! Tian Ting is a descendant of the Elders, and he is also a first-class great and noble existence in the bloodline line......" Youlong said halfway through, and then said again, "That's not right. At that time, the monarch dragon had not yet been decided, but Tianting, Tianman, Tianju, and Tianzheng were several main battle factions...... And, there's ...... Elder Long Tianheng was trapped on the Sixth Degree Instrument Island, and they ...... It should be dead. ”
The young man did not know much about this history and was considering whether to convey some image information.
Who knows, there was a different dragon immediately interjected:
"No, not really! If it's Tiantinghou...... Indeed it is possible. Because at that time, there were divisions within the National Assembly, and I remember one person letting them go...... Later, the man was executed along with Tianqing, and in Yuji Province, the central army and the local sectarian branch started an earth-shattering battle. After that, their messages are lost...... I never heard about them again, people just said that things had subsided. ”
Yuji, that is, the place where jade is concentrated, is a super-large floating land rich in all kinds of crystal ores under the rule of the Yilong Dynasty, separated from Buzi Province by Shishi Province and Onion Water Province.
At this point, the devil interjected at the right time:
"You guessed right. The riot in Buzi's area was supported by Elder Long Tianheng behind it. I also know that the Elder Dragon has been battered and cannot move, but it has been surrounded by many great dragon lords who are trying to overthrow the kingdom and restore the system of the former dragon dynasty. ”
This news was like a bombshell, exploding in the wavering hearts of the dragons, injecting a warm current of confidence. They overflow the heart with joy and pass around in the minds that are implicated by clues.
When the panic of the end of the road is reached, the animal will have a kind of religious piety, always believing in the news that is good for them, believing that miracles and luck will befall them.
The devil calmly accepted the inquiries of the crowd and conditionally passed on some of his own observations.
Bu Zi's news was personally narrated by the Black Elder Dragon, and it belonged to the internal information urgently conveyed by the kingdom, and it must be true for a period of time, and there would be no falsehood.
And the sixth exchange of leisure time entered a more subtle and deep realm.
An allosaurus with a mind full of related things said:
"But Bu Zi's matter is still far away...... What can we do here? If, as you say, riots, strikes, we will be punished. ”
"I know you're afraid that people will sanction you...... But have you ever thought about it? The devil said, "People are afraid that you will rise up against you." Do you think the human family really dares to kill all of our people? ”
No alien dragons made a sound.
Then the devil said to himself:
"No, they don't dare, because they need us."
"Need our ......"
"Without us, they wouldn't be able to see the trajectory of the earth's drift. Without us, they couldn't simply transport bulky cargo. That delicate suspension rope was their great invention, and it was they who proved that they didn't need us to help them, but the opposite happened...... It seems that the suspension rope was not arranged at the beginning...... It's that we're helping them to hold the world together, isn't it? ”
The allosaurus silently returned to their respective lives, continuing to fly through the air with their cargo.
The light of the cable cars guides the location of the suspension cables, and they need to carefully and humbly avoid these man-made objects and avoid being punished.
And it turns out that they can go on a rampage in this sky.
The vast majority of the work is done by the lower animals. Their labor is only a reward for the efforts of these animals.
The only consolation for the status quo is the words of the devil that are linked by the thread.
In the seventh dialogue, the devil changed his usual answer and provoked the conversation with a rhetorical question:
"Have you ever thought about your descendants in the future?"
The young allosaurs hadn't thought about it.
The old allosaurs were too confused to think about this.
They only hear the devil say:
"We have a history on this land for generations. For all generations, our ancestors bestowed supreme glory on the Hanging Garden with their blood and battles. Humans and other animals have always been our servants - so a thousand generations ago, as a soul and as a being, the proudest thing was to 'fly in the sky as an alien dragon', but after that war it became the most humiliating thing. Your pride is gone, and you let the vile victors ride on your necks, and work for them, and transport goods for them, like the beasts they raise. ”
"But ......"
"Do you want to say, you need to just live in peace? Because of the fear of being punished, abused, killed? ”
The allosaurus that opened his mouth hugged his head in shame in reality.
Who knows what the devil says:
"You're right, yes, life is the most important thing. But...... Have you ever thought about something more important than your life? Yes, yes, you should have heard from your elders, people call it dignity, also call it glory, glory and dignity are also the foundation of our people's life in this world. If there is no glory and dignity, when the human family talks about the dragon, they will only let out a contemptuous laugh and say......"
Behold, these dragons are like dogs, and they are like dogs, and they are like dogs, and they are like dogs, and they are prayed that we will be gentle with them, and if we are gentle with them, they will regard them as treasures, and work harder to be slaves, and what shall we have left?
The devil was silent for a moment, and then said sadly:
"I don't think that's too far off in the future. If our generation, we still have the strength, remember history, and remember the glorious generation, we will not do anything again...... Our offspring, the offspring of offspring, what will become of those future allosaurs? I want to ......"
He said:
They will stand before the stone tablets of our ancestors, and say to our great fathers, who have gloriously ruled the world in the past, behold, everyone, this is a group of tyrants who have gone the wrong way, who have wrongly enslaved the human line, and what they have done is a shame that we must wash away now. Then, when they see us, they will say that we are doing a good job, because we have awakened our consciousness and are working hard to serve the supreme human system, will they continue to move forward along our path and try to create more glory for the human system?
The dragons were silent.
The picture of the future slowly rises and emerges from their minds in the neon scattered light, and the contemptible future and the inverted history make their hearts strong and sour, crumbling.
"You can bear this shame, but I can't."
At that time, the devil continued:
"For I know that I am not a slave, but a people of heavenly things clothed in glory, who know dignity and steadfastness. I am proud to fly freely, and I will never feel at peace because I am living in secret. ”
The young man whispered in the dark warehouse.
The voices of faraway worlds, laughter and strife reeled into the harbor and into the ears of the weary dragons. They shuddered.
At that time, Youlong suddenly asked:
"What should we do? Mentor. ”
The devil knew his cruelty and meanness, and exhaled a long breath. He knew that this group of innocent people had fallen into his trap.
He leaned against the tough steel cable, looked up at the gray ceiling, and said nothing for a moment.
There was a deathly silence between the wirings. The deep and indissoluble grief gradually gave way to terrible anger, at first a whispered, muffled inquiry, like a tidal tide gently lapping against the sandy bank, but soon it grew more and more intense, and the anger that had been building up for a long time was like a tidal wave that broke through the embankment.
The psychic language of the dragons rumbled in unison, and they kept asking:
"Celestials, celestials, what should we do? And how to do it? ”
The excitement of the crowd robs reason, the frenzy passes from one person to another, and then, the fiery hatred, breathes meaning into the existing painful life.
After a while, the devil spoke again:
"Don't ask what to do? It's about asking what to do - it's clear that Bu Zi has already won, and we naturally have to respond to Bu Zi. We're going to gather the power of the Hanging Dragon...... We want to show our dignity to the National Assembly. ”
Lift big things.
Then, go beyond the present and regain your glory.
The dragons were in a trance, fascinated by it.
The young man cut the thread, lowered his head, buried the thread back in the earth, and left the harbor for the time being.
At that time, the heavens and the earth were still dark, and the light of the distant and small sun could not illuminate even the outlines and shadows of the land and the land. In that slit, Gu Chuan saw several huge shadows emerging one after another, connecting front and back, flying over the sky.
"Hanging Nursery is still sending troops and supplies, which is good news for me."
When the power of one side increases, the power of the other decreases.
He thought as he got lost in the streets of the 12th arrondissement.
As long as there is no place to go back, then every place in heaven and earth can be a temporary home.
Eventually, he unconsciously came to the periphery of the building close to the Treasures, and when he looked up, he could see people coming and going in a hurry.
And the place where they went in and out was the above-ground building of the Treasure Division. It is a huge domed building that runs through the ground and underground, taking into account the maximum footprint and expansion possibilities. It is divided into inside and outside, the outside is open for visits, the interior is protected by reinforced walls and native rock, and there are only four interconnected roads inside and outside.
Although this department can be regarded as an important department for the management of all kinds of rare and exotic objects, as well as the function of research and development, the internal protection force of the Rare Treasures Division is not large. It is close to the barracks, but the barracks are only convenient for temporary communication, and the main garrison strategy and security strategy are external protection.
And the other thing is...... The Treasure Division is not a new department, it existed during the Allosaurus Dynasty and served the Allosaurus, so all the buildings are built with the Allosaurus in mind.
The young man withdrew his gaze and looked at the stagnant water on the ground. It was another heavy rain under the overhang after the time of the gale was over.
The murky waters reflected his hood and the tightened face under it.
"There's only one thing I want to do."
He muttered to himself.
"Enter the Curiosity Division and drive away the Dead or Alive."
He walked out.
It's also acceptable if you don't drive away.
But taking away his companions in the Dead or Living is his bottom line, no matter what he pays, what he does, or whatever he does.
As the young man left, a cold wind rolled up from the ground to the sky, turning over the filthy underside of the newspaper. Then, the newspaper slammed into the ground again, making a splash.
The Hanging Garden was full of people, and the group of dragons at work set their eyes on the above-ground station of the Treasure Division, and slowly descended to the port of the neighboring district, and whispered to the dragons of the other ports in code. The tamed xenosaurus looked surprised and couldn't believe what their companions were about to do, but promised that if it was successful, they would answer the call and join them.
At this moment, a heavy rain fell again from the sky. This avalanche-like water, with its incessant sound on the ground, drove all the pedestrians away to the hell of fire.
