Chapter 32: The Stone Abyss Where the Bones Are Buried (Part II)
At this point, everything else can no longer disturb the young man's heart.
His soul was quieter than ever, except for one thing.
Hatsukumo's state is very bad.
From beginning to end, she always chose to stick to the number of death or life, and did not leave a single step. The water is solved by water circulation, but the food is only a little comfrey that was cut by hand. She returned to the terrible darkness of the last leg of her journey to the Netherworld, and held on to it for a long time.
"You're so stupid, you don't have to be so persistent...... Maybe there's another way......"
The young man was very sad. He chewed up the dry food he was carrying, mixed it with water, and fed it mouth-to-mouth into Hatsukumo's body.
Hatsukumo's state is a little better.
She reopened her eyes in a haze. She sat in her chair, didn't say anything, didn't sit anything, just looked gently at the person in front of her with her beautiful gray eyes.
She didn't seem to worry about anything.
The young man choked up and couldn't speak, he didn't know what to say in front of her, whether it was about his own complete fall or his own experience since separation.
The compass on the table still calmly pointed in the direction of the only constant eternity. Everything was neatly packed. The floor was also swept day after day, and he saw a glass book on display.
The glass book, which he glanced at cursoryly, was the last words etched by Hatsukumo, including what she knew about the current situation and her own situation, writing about Mr. Dandan, Pingear, and Yumesheng, as well as the experiments and transmissions that all the people of the Hanging Garden had tried to do with Death or Birth. In addition to this information, there are also several judgments made by Hatsuyun himself.
In this way, young people don't need to ask Chu Yun to know the situation before and after.
He turned around and came to the wide window, witnessing the vast world in the cage. It was still raining heavily, and he said:
"I'll take care of the rest."
The waters of heaven seem to flow down from the white sun to cleanse the world. The stagnant water broke through the uneven barrier, fell into the inside of the large cavity along the leakage, entered the underground drainage pipe, mixed with the surrounding debris fragments and became turbid, and then continued to rush forward.
"We'll be out of here soon."
The young man continued.
On the ground, two of the old man's guards came to the old man's side. The dragon's call to the "Heavenly Mentor" had already been spoken, which made him think thoughtfully:
"No wonder these alien dragons have the courage to resist again. It turned out that there was a new leader who had brought them together. The National Assembly is about to suffer. β
The old man didn't care what would happen to the Hanging Garden for the time being, what he cared about was that there was no echo from inside the Death or Life number.
"Didn't she hear what the Black Elder Dragon said? I didn't react anyway, don't you care? β
Before the words fell, the crystal wall that enclosed the dead or alive number shattered, which was the current that destroyed the stable structure of the original crystal wall, making it fragile. As for the stagnant water around the surrounding area, it can calmly flow under the dead or alive, submerging the waterwheel and the sail. The two plants awoke from the dry world, were pulled into the wetness, and struggled in obedience to their nature, gradually propping up the whole ship of terror and crushing the water-soaked rocks.
The young man also called up the controller of the Gear Man, which injected the water from the water circulation in the Dead or Alive, into the lower layer, further stimulating the waterwheel and the sail. So the whole hull of the ship shook as if it had come to life with the support of the waterwheel and the sails. The shaking struck the surrounding crystal walls. I don't know how many tons of huge objects, shattering the surroundings and shaking the ground.
Waterwheels and sails are capable of driving in any conditions, as long as it is stimulated by liquids. But if the liquid is insufficient, then the waterwheel and the sail will always lack a strength, not enough to support the death or life.
In other words......
"This rain alone can't make the Death or Life fly out of Area 12."
When the young man saw the scene around him, he was relieved.
Now, the giant jellyfish Dream is gone, and he can either consider leaving with Hatsuyun alone, or ...... It was the companion who was now calling on him to instigate.
He stretched out his hand, and the dense thread wrapped around his hand reminded him that the dragons in the sky were cheering for the false name of the victory at the momentβ
"Celestial Mentor!"
As soon as the young man's mind changed, he knew what to say, how to call the dragons:
"I'm in a big black iron block now, you guys hurry up and throw this big black iron block out of the 12th district, throw it outside the hanging garden, and throw it to the bottom!"
When the dragons first heard the voice of the young man, they were puzzled:
"Why is that, Celestial Mentor?"
Because of his eagerness, the young man made the mistake of speaking in unison with the black elder dragon, and the dragon's heart horn was transmitting the words of his heart, and his mouth also opened his mouth and shouted together. Chu Yun, who had improved slightly, sat behind the young man, gazed intently at the young man's heroic figure, and heard him say:
"It's too late to explain now, listen to me, this thing must be thrown away as soon as possible, and it can't be used by people."
Chu Yun turned his eyes and winked thoughtfully at the dragons in the sky.
Although the knowledgeable dragons were puzzled, they found an explanation on their own: the Death or Life may be a secret weapon prepared by some kind of human system that is difficult to destroy, but as long as it is thrown into the ground, this thing is not a threat.
And the dragons, who were so excited by the victory, heard the words of the Celestial Mentor that they did not need to prove the truth. Several powerful dragons spoke in the Psychic Language, and then pounced on the Death or Life Cry together.
At that time, the only people who were able to stop them were Chao Lao and his two guards. The officers had all taken refuge, and the soldiers were only on the periphery, and they did not dare to wade lightly.
The crooked head tamer and the other alien beasts were instigated by the psychic language of the alien dragons, knew the direction of escape, and were attacking the defense line of the Hanging Nursery army. Originally, the guards in the Treasure Division were forced to dare not touch by these monsters patrolling the corridors.
Chao Lao didn't know the situation outside, but he knew that there were only three of them now. There are mechanisms that can be used. As he approached the pavilion where the agency was located, he called the two guards around him to harass him. The two guards were not afraid of this task, and as soon as they jumped up, they were at the feet of the allosaurus in a blink of an eye, and the knife drawn from their waists was sent forward, barely cutting through the scales on the surface of the allosaurus.
The dragon returned to his feet, but the movements of the two men were incredibly flexible, as if they were being pulled by a doll, flying sideways to avoid the attack. Gu Chuan looked through the window and saw that the hands, feet and necks of these two "supermen" were all wired.
Dense threads pierced their bodies, perhaps deep into their bones and muscles, amounting to additional movement and nervous system, allowing their bodies to perform all sorts of incredible movements like dolls.
Gu Chuan thought for a moment, then leaned the dragon heart horn against his head, so that the dragon heart horn's amplification and ability reached the maximum, and then tried to invade their hearts.
But when I first got in touch, I only found that no matter what kind of identity I used to convey emotions with my parents, lovers, and bosses, these people didn't accept it, but thoughtless some things that had nothing to do with the current situation...... For example, an outing dozens of weeks ago.
Assuming that reality is abandoned, Gu Chuanguang can only think that they are on an outing from reading the mind.
The allosaurs saw this much earlier than he did:
"These people have been trained to reach the perceptual depth and the sixth depth of their minds, to be able to read their instincts, nerves, and motor balances, otherwise they cannot be defeated in the language of the heart."
But at the same time, it is difficult for these two to be driven away by brute force alone.
"But let's just focus on our purpose and throw this iron thing out."
The young man is calm.
No matter how flexible the two guards are, they are two small people after all. The three dragons were enough to isolate them from each other by their size alone, to the brink of the Death or Life Horn. The other four dragons each lifted the horn of the Death or Life and flew towards the outside of the Twelve Districts.
"It's too late.
The old man's body is also full of water. He witnessed the scene and put down the controller. And the transistor under the floor, which had just been half-lit, had dimmed again.
"Now, it's not that I don't want to complete your mission, Speaker Black. It's my old man who can't do it. I'm afraid there are still companions of Xuanniao here, otherwise I don't understand the reason why the dragons took this iron thing away. β
He stayed in the pavilion for a moment before he was spotted by the dragon. The car-like claws slammed into it, and the pavilion's transistors shattered to the ground, sticking to the old man's body along with the rain.
"But, Speaker Black, you should know all about this place by now, what are you going to do? As for us, we don't want to hurt Xuanniao. β
The lifted Death or Life horn made a long, dull sound in the air. The rain kept beating on the black jade outer wall of the dead or alive. Water droplets splash, waterfalls flowing. The neon glow is warm, and a rainbow appears between the streams of water.
"What...... It's nothing to do with me! β
Mr. Dandan, who witnessed this scene, hid behind the wall again, and couldn't tell if he was lost. It muttered:
"Then I'm going to die...... Well, wait for death! β
And the Dead or Alive had already broken through a hole that wasn't big enough by then. The rock fell, and the hull continued to rise. The people on the suspension rope and the people in the surrounding defense line looked up one by one and watched this thing fly.
At that time, the rain was still falling heavily in the air, and the sound was rushing for a while. The raindrops are like whips falling on all things. The allosaurus was hit by the raindrops, and its wings could not fly steadily.
"Just throw it there."
"Mr. Tianren, when are you coming out!"
The dragons let go, and the hull flew into the water, falling down without a slurch and forever.
The young man doesn't think about himself, he thinks of Chuyun first. In the midst of the bumps, his strong arms tightly hugged Hatsuun's soft body. The two men leaned against the corner of the wall, leaning on the robotic hand of the telescope to fix their figures.
They kept falling with the ship.
The young man slammed into the wall, and the maiden slammed into the young man's body.
She heard Gu Chuan say:
"Come on, we'll be back to the way we were in a lot soon. I can be connected with the substance of the child. As for Mr. Dandan, Mengsheng, and the little gear machine, they will definitely be able to get it back, you don't have to worry. β
"Hmmm......"
Hatsukumo's body is cold, but the young man's body is hot. She leaned her face against the young man's cheek, and snuggled up to her dearest person like a child, and she felt his deep affection.
The warmth of the close proximity made her body feel a little better.
At that time, Hatsuyun was almost reluctant to say anything.
But when she had a big doubt in her heart, she would say it out loud, and she knew that the young man would give her an answer. She pointed to the dragons outside and asked:
"What about them? Why did they listen to you? River. β
At that time, young people were vaguely immersed in an extraordinary happiness. He suddenly felt shy at the hug.
"I stood with them and said that I would fight against the tyranny of the human system together. So they agreed with me to attack the Treasures Division, created the conditions for me, and I managed to rescue you. β
But the girl was puzzled and hesitated:
"Now, are we leaving?" So what should they do?
She was lost in thought.
"Hmm...... I've inquired, and when I leave Qiongqiu, it's Rixia. In the past, the sun ...... It's going to fall soon! Perhaps, there, it's Sunset City......"
The Dead or Alive is hard enough that as long as they get to the bottom and get rid of the vast number of beings in the hanging garden, even if the ship can't move, they can abandon the ship and run away.
After Qiongqiu, the cruising of the world is no longer an untouchable dream. The whole face of the world may be close at hand.
The young man was immersed in the things of the future, and he heard the hearts of the two people sticking together.
And then, the rain was heavier. The water that was drawn out of the pipes of the land rushed into the sky, mingled with the raindrops, and splashed like waves on the top of the Death or Living. The waterwheel and sail swayed restlessly in the water, slowing down the descent and avoiding the land, which was piped out of the current.
The fragile suspension cable splits into two ends when it hits the dead or alive. Several cable cars, which had set off before the incident, hit the edge of the suspension cable and barely relied on the restraint device to cross in the wind.
The great ship, which continued to rock in the storm, touched all the water between heaven and earth. It has broken out of the realm of the hanging garden. The building that now belongs to the hanging garden is only the well that is so thin that it is almost invisible.
"You're doing a great job."
At this moment, the hull of the ship made a loud noise in the collision.
A black shadow flew through the window of the Dead or Alive, and a pair of terrifying winged hands covered the surface of the Dead or Alive. One of the actual holders of the Hanging Garden, the top of the power, relying on the power of the Psychic Language, it was as if he had seen through the barrier of the hull of the ship and saw the two people inside who were about to leave.
"Heaven Defeats ββ!"
Gu Chuan raised his head suddenly, recognized the dragon, and saw its ugly figure, as well as all kinds of flesh filled in its two broken bodies.
This is...... The zombie-like program among the three programs for treating Tianheng.
"In that case, barely moving, kid."
The second time they met, the heavily-battered dragon still didn't look angry, but unexpectedly laughed.
"Meet again, young man from a foreign land."
It says.
But the young man was extremely nervous.
It was not on top, but flew up from below, so the young man never saw it. At the moment when the Death or Life fell, it grabbed the bottom of the Death or Life and then rolled over and covered the Death or Life on top of the Death or Life.
"What are you doing here? Vengeance? β
The Black Elder Dragon said:
"Not really. I just want to see you more and hear what you wonderful people have to say before you leave...... Then ask you what you are going to do with the current situation. You can't just think about just leaving? You've made the Hanging Garden worse. β
"The matter of the hanging garden belongs to you, it is your own contradictions that have not disappeared, it is you who have oppressed the race that originally flew in the air, what does it have to do with me? You, get out of here now! I only counted three seconds. β
The Black Elder Dragon just looked at him.
The young man gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, and called out to the telescope.
The newborn cogwheel man's will immediately turned the light and aimed it at the half of the black elder dragon's body. The bow of the ship lit up a little.
"I'm attacking!"
The monster in the rain did not respond, but was interested, like a child observing ants crawling in the ground.
The light lit up, and it shot straight into the sky, evaporating all the waterlines along the way, hitting a piece of uninhabited land, and disappearing into the distance.
The Black Elder Dragon calmly commented:
"Amazing power."
The young man pursed his lips, his heart was flustered to the extreme, he didn't know what the Black Elder Dragon had and what he was going to do, and even at this point, he didn't know the true mood of the Black Elder Dragon. Feeling pained by his agitation, he wanted to attack a second time, and when the second attack failed, he made up his mind to go out and fight the monster in hand-to-hand combat.
He let go of Hatsuun, a stream stretched out in his palm, and the pain of torn flesh made him bend over. He said:
"Wait for me in a moment."
Chu Yun frowned, wanting to hold Gu Chuan's hand. She didn't pull it.
The young man endured the pain and walked out. At that time, the Dead or Alive was about to fall to the bottom of the Qiongqiu. This is also the first time that explorers from Sunset City have approached the lowest human world.
The sun's rays become intense here, obliquely illuminating thousands of lands. The villagers of the various underground villages, startled by the heavenly water and the cry of death or life, prostrate themselves on the edge of the comfrey, or rocks, or other plants, and carefully watch the bottom of the well.
It was an abyss abandoned by the land, and it could have been flat land. But the rocks and clods of earth kept drifting out of them, so that everything disappeared, and the appearance of the earth should be in principle one deep valley after another, according to the law of matter flying away, but the land in the high places will always fly, so there is no edge.
There is no edge of the deep valley, but there are uneven mountains.
The young man stepped out of the top hatch, exposing his body to the raging storm. Soil, rocks, land, raindrops are all taking off.
The sunlight was strong at that time.
The Black Elder Dragon was right in front of it, as if looking at him with a smile on its face.
The young man was not afraid, and said coldly:
"If you don't leave, I'll let you die completely."
The Black Elder Dragon only let out a gentle call to the surface of the abyss. The young man relied on its call and looked cautiously around.
Then his body froze.
"What are these?"
He remembered the first mystery of the world he had seen.
It belonged to the textured stones, the illusory blue fire, and the people who had mended the corpses.
At that time, the Death or Life was completely plunged into the abyss. Beneath the abyss are countless stones. These stones, unlike all the others they had seen, had a non-artificial, snowflake-like texture.
Chu Yun held his spirits and walked to the edge of the window in a daze.
She remembered the stone's name in Sunset City, the Man Stone.
"And indeed with the man who came back from the dead...... Say the same thing......"
Hatsuyun's eyes widened blankly.
And underneath the human stone are countless naked human figures, whose skin looks like human skin and like stone. It was the transformation of matter over a long period of time, perhaps hundreds of millions of years, or a blindfold that had been given from the beginning. The truth has long ceased to matter as the sun rises and sets.
All that matters is the moment.
There are people in the stone holding hands, there are people in the stone who are separated, and there are people in the stone who have been rudely stacked together in the ancient past. Illusory blue fire sped upwards around them from below the physical interface until it vanished into the vast expanse of daylight. And they should be buried underground, as the geological movement continues to sink outward and downward, and it will not be known for hundreds of billions of years.
But in a certain era, in a certain place, the earth is no longer stable, and everything will take off.
Then everything that is deep in the earth will open its eyes again and see the future, or the second day when the sun rises again that is even older than the future.
