Chapter 269: Struggle is the Core of Life (6,500 words)
"Deceived me?"
"Black Gate City?"
Facing the words spoken by these two people with calm expressions, Xiao Huan's heart instantly flashed with a touch of surprise.
This is an unavoidable emotion, after all, just now, he himself was also suspicious of certain things, and the arrangement made by Heimen City was just that, because of the ability to explode his mind, his sudden suspicion was well hidden.
He still had a faint expression, looking at the two men with a calm expression that made one wonder if he hadn't heard.
Slowly, slowly, six eyes, staring at each other in silence.
These two mysterious people who broke into the carriage of the high train seemed to be waiting for Xiao Huan to show a surprised expression, and took the initiative to ask for some words, but in the end, Xiao Huan never did.
So the two of them could only hesitate slightly, and then slowly, in a low voice: "I know that it will be difficult for people to accept that we suddenly came to tell you this, but there is no need for the two of us to lie. ”
"Actually, it was a conversation that we didn't expect."
"It can only be said that Kuang Juemin found an heir like you, it was his luck, although you have been walking in the wrong direction, but the execution ability is too strong and the influence is too great, but we can't sit still anymore......"
“……”
"So ......"
Xiao Huan listened to their words, and then slowly spoke: "The two of you, like Mr. An, want to stop Noah's plan in Black Gate City?" ”
These two people who obviously have the power beyond their imagination, can break into the high-ranking fantasy opened up by their own will, and are polite enough to give themselves a thing to pay for the "ticket", whether it is what they say or the attitude they show, it makes Xiao Huan feel strange, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it must be determined all at once. For Black Gate City, there is no doubt that those who stop Noah's plan are enemies, and those who support or even are willing to join Noah's plan are friends.
So Xiao Huan chose to ask this question directly.
"Block?"
This is obviously a very simple question, but it makes the two seem a little hesitant.
They paused slightly, and between their eyes, the old man in the platinum robe slowly shook his head and replied, "We are not interested in Project Noah at all, whether it is when Kuang Juemin is alive or after he dies. ”
"It's just that we don't want you to ruin our plans......"
“……”
"Your plan?"
Xiao Yan's brows suddenly furrowed: What is their plan? Will the continued advancement of Noah's plan affect them?
"Young ......"
Looking at the doubts on Xiao Huan's face, the middle-aged man in a black suit simply opened his mouth and said lightly: "I can tell you frankly that the two of us didn't want to come over to see you, because the success or failure of Noah's plan has nothing to do with the two of us, we just know that your plan is in vain, no matter what you do, it is just a void." But because you are ...... It's so powerful, we are afraid that you will affect our plans, so we took the liberty to come to see you......"
"The former Kuang Juemin will die because he is on a wrong and paranoid path, and we originally thought that everything would end with his death."
"But who would have thought that it has only been a long time for another you to appear in Black Gate City, and the promotion of this Noah's plan is even more radical than when Kuang Juemin was alive......"
“……”
When he said this, he suddenly paused, and looked at Xiao Huan with a strange expression: "You are such an executive young man, I really haven't seen you for a long time......
"But do you really always believe that what Kuang Juemin left behind is the truth that solves all problems?"
"If his speculation is correct, and what he left behind is the only way to salvation, then why is Blackgate City so far only alone in preparation, but has not received anyone's support and assistance?"
“……”
"Project Noah ......"
This question was again, and Xiao Huan was silent for a while.
Since he sat in the position of the president of Black Gate City with the consciousness of being regarded as a puppet, Xiao Huan began to implement Noah's plan.
During this period, he was also asked countless questions, but some of him lied, some were fooled, and he never officially answered, but in the process of implementing Noah's plan, he was undoubtedly the one who contributed the most, he got the blueprints left by the old president, hunted a secondary mysterious source as a keel, and obtained the seven major parts of the big ship needed to complete Noah's plan, and even, with the fall of Rest City, even the invisible bondage net that faintly hindered the promotion of Noah's plan was torn apart by himself......
But in fact, Xiao Huan has never been able to answer a question: Do you really agree with Noah's plan?
Or rather, do you really know about Project Noah?
…… I don't really understand this!
Xiao Huan knew how many materials the elder had studied, and he also knew how Noah should be built now, and even knew that after building Noah, the next thing he needed to do was to clear the channel and sail to the mysterious end.
However, how to clean up the waterway?
At the end of the day, what will you encounter, what should you do, and what will happen after you do it?
…… He really didn't know.
The elder Kuang Juemin, who stayed, is a prototype in itself, and in addition, he has too much information to be covered up.
Because this question has been bothering Xiao Huan in itself, he didn't even use the ability to explode his mind to hide his expression.
……
"Huh?"
The two hitchhikers who broke into the high train obviously asked this question with a little emotion in it.
Are you kidding?
As the current president of Black Gate City, as the heir of Kuang Juemin, and as the captain who made the Noah Plan a storm, how could he not know about the Noah Plan?
But when they saw Xiao Huan's expression, they were all stunned.
No way?
Then just when their expressions became a little strange, Xiao Huan suddenly smiled faintly and said calmly: "I really don't understand, I just know how to build a big ship!" ”
"You ......"
The old man in the platinum robe couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "If you don't know, you still ...... And do so much? ”
Xiao Huan shrugged helplessly and said, "Anyway, being idle is idle." ”
"......"
This answer really made these two of them a little nervous: Is this like words?
This guy made so many messy things without knowing much about Noah's plan?
Neurotic, you!
Just because he was idle and had nothing to do, he hunted down such a large mysterious source, and destroyed the entire Sabbath City, not to mention some gambling battles with hell organizations, what intimidation of Night City, and what built a wishing altar or something.
I don't know how many words have piled up in my stomach at once, but I can't say it.
If someone else says that they have done so many things without really understanding and accepting that plan, they will probably be slapped in the face in anger.
But when they think about what they know about the new president of Blackgate City during this time, they think about what he did......
…… It's still very in line with the personality!
…… There is always a kind of person who will destroy the world because of boredom, and the one in front of him is just because of boredom, and it can only be regarded as a trivial matter to destroy the security and order in the circle of strangers.
……
"But what if you don't know?"
But in their questioning and difficult expressions, Xiao Huan sighed slowly.
He confessed to the two people he met for the first time that he didn't know the fact that he didn't know about Noah's plan, but he also sighed in a low voice and continued: "It's better than not understanding anything and not doing anything, right?" ”
"I used to stay in a small bedroom for four whole years, unable to do anything, unable to go out, unable to show a full smile, unable to even say a complete sentence, and could not even concentrate my attention. ”
"But I've always wanted to do something."
"I didn't know what was causing me to be like that, and I didn't know how to get rid of that pervasive nightmare, but I had to do something......"
"Even if it's just raising your hand, even if it's just holding your head and beating it twice."
"For most of the four years, I was just doing this kind of behavior that didn't make sense, and I couldn't relieve my headaches and get rid of the muttering that I couldn't hear clearly......"
"But gradually, maybe I've been struggling for too long, but I've gradually found a way to try and concentrate......"
"Then, try it every day, as long as you keep your eyes open, as long as you can't sleep, try it, learn to fight that feeling of bursting thoughts, learn to fight against the crazy babbling that is everywhere......"
“……”
Xiao Huan's answer at this time had nothing to do with the communication with these two people, but he said it very seriously.
The two of them gradually became curious, and after a while, the middle-aged man in a black suit couldn't help but say, "So, have you succeeded?" ”
"Nope."
Facing his curious and serious inquiry, Xiao Huan suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "The feeling of headache is still there, and the endless whispering is still in my ears all the time. ”
"But I've just learned to keep my mind focused while they're tormenting me."
“……”
"You ......"
This question made the old man in the white robe and the middle-aged man in the black suit couldn't help but be shocked.
They looked at Xiao Huan at this time, and only felt that he was calm and steady, his eyes were deep and bottomless, his face was pale and handsome, and even when he smiled, he was always hooked in a just right arc.
But such a person, who is always under the gaze of the unknown, is always under the call of the mysterious?
It's not that they don't know anything about Xiao Huan, and they can even say that they know Xiao Huan himself and understand his state more than most people in this world.
So they were surprised.
originally thought that Xiao Huan should have recovered now.
Just like a patient with a high fever, his weakness, his pain, his sweating, they can all understand, but they see that this person has returned to normal society, going to work, working overtime, talking about business, and has achieved good results, so they come to talk to him, and talk about how weak he used to be when he had a high fever, but this person told himself that he has even been in a state of high fever, but he has just learned how to force himself to pretend to be a normal person in that state......
"So, these four years have taught me a truth."
Xiao Huan looked at the two people with some horror in their eyes, and smiled slowly: "Even if you do something randomly, it's better than doing nothing." ”
"I wouldn't have been able to get out of the house if I hadn't tried to struggle."
"After all, strength comes from struggling habits."
"And struggling is human instinct......"
“……”
The old man in the white robe and the middle-aged man in the black suit were indeed stunned, and they were stunned for a while, and it was difficult to answer.
It was not far away, leaning against the car window, although the metal wrench was placed at hand, but it was confirmed that these two people were not easy to mess with, so the good girl who had been pretending not to exist was soft, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up slightly.
She had heard this sentence from the elder, and she thought it was cool, so she learned it and often talked about it.
But I didn't expect that this sentence was actually listened to by Xiao Huan in his heart, and now there is a new interpretation......
She thought it was funny and decided to add it to Sister Soft's quotations in the future.
"I remember someone saying that before......"
The white-robed old man sighed slowly, looked at Xiao Huan, and said, "I just didn't expect that there would be a chance to listen to it again." ”
"That's how it goes...... anyway"
Xiao Huan also smiled helplessly, spread his hands, and said, "I know that you two think it's a bit incredible, why did I carry out this plan without knowing Noah's plan." ”
"But people have to do something."
"I didn't like those four years, and I didn't like the world after awakening, I didn't like it from the beginning."
"So I decided early on that something needed to be done."
"Whether the plan left by the elder is flawed or not, whether it points to a dead end, it doesn't make any difference to me, after all, this is the only way that tells us how to go."
"I don't think it's a sign of how smart you are when you are hiding your secrets mysteriously and accusing us of not understanding anything, of sabotaging your plans."
"Because, I, or Black Gate City, or Black Gate City, these people who support Noah's plan, and even those who may support Black Gate City in the future."
"We're just struggling, whatever the outcome of our struggle is and what the impact is on the world."
"There's nothing wrong with struggling."
“……”
He paused word by word, said the last sentence, and then looked at the two people in front of him seriously, and slowly spoke: "Are you right?" ”
"President Dante, President Hell?"
“……”
The old man in the platinum robe and the middle-aged man in the black suit both had slightly surprised expressions when they heard this, and then they slowly exhaled and nodded slightly.
I don't know if I recognized Xiao Huan's words, or just admitted that Xiao Huan shouted out their identity.
When he saw these two people just now, Xiao Huan naturally didn't know their identities, but he was surprised that in this world, in the existence of non-mysterious sources, there were such powerful characters, and their strength was different from Mr. An's strength that relied on the gift of the mysterious source, and they were undoubtedly the same as themselves, stepping into the taboo level and gaining the power at their own disposal. There are definitely not many such people, so Xiao Huan has been secretly observing and speculating on the identities of the two of them.
Both of them did a good job of hiding the details of their bodies.
But Xiao Huan guessed that this kind of cover-up was not a physical means, but that they had a way to make people not notice the details of their identities that would be exposed.
Therefore, Xiao Huan can only delineate their identity level and position through their reactions and some details in their words.
For example, if they are not interested in Project Noah, they will not be in the city, but they have their own plans and have more understanding of the world than they do, which means that they must belong to a very large organization.
Another example is that they said that if they didn't plan to meet, they would be the ones who didn't participate in the affairs of the Sabbath.
Little by little, it was drawn away from the city and raised its position.
In the end, there are only two people left who can match their attitude, that is, in this Sabbath incident, the leaders of the completely hidden Hell Organization and Dante's Organization.
Of course, why don't you guess that it is the two high-level leaders of a certain party, it is Xiao Huan who feels that these two people do not seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship, they have diametrically opposite temperaments, and even have some vague feelings of competition.
So......
…… It's scary!
The Hell Organization and the Dante Organization actually played together, and the leaders of the two organizations actually came to their train hand in hand to give themselves benefits?
"I don't know if I've been assimilated by you......"
The middle-aged man in a black suit did not answer Xiao Huan's words to reveal his identity, but with a wry smile on his face, he gently tapped his head and said:
"Originally, I thought that a person like you, who didn't even know what Project Noah represented, actually did things to this extent, which was very outrageous and unreasonable, but after listening to your reasons, I actually think that you did this very reasonably......"
“……”
Xiao Huan listened, so he only smiled and said, "How is the White Devil now?" ”
"Exploring the edge of the world."
The man in the black suit replied, which was regarded as an admission of identity, and said: "I was frightened by your performance when you hunted Mr. Watari before, and now I am very inferior, and I say that I want to pursue a higher artistic concept." ”
"Probably useless, right?"
Xiao Huan also smiled helplessly, and said, "This thing depends on the talent ......"
The middle-aged man in a black suit nodded in agreement, and looked at Xiao Huan with complicated eyes: "Yes!" ”
The old man in the platinum robe did not participate in their topic, and after Xiao Huan said his reason, he was silent, and only then did he slowly speak: "I also think that what you said is very reasonable." ”
"It's just that there is one thing you still misunderstood."
He said slowly, looking up at Xiao Huan: "We don't think we're smart people, and we don't want to hide those secrets on purpose. ”
"It's just that, just like the implementation of Noah's plan, there are layers of strange obstacles, and our plan is also walking on thin ice, so we don't dare to leak the news to too many people."
"Including our people."
“……”
"Oh?"
Xiao Huan heard him get to the point, and then suddenly looked up: "But you came to me." ”
"If we don't look for you, you're going to threaten our plans......"
At this time, the middle-aged man in the black suit, or rather, the president of the Hell Organization, smiled: "After all, you are young, and you still represent a possibility, we have changed our minds and don't want to strangle other possibilities......"
In Xiao Huan's heart, a thought suddenly flashed, and he looked at him: "So, Black Gate City has become a hell forbidden area?" ”
The middle-aged man in the black suit looked at Xiao Huan with slight surprise, then turned his head to the old man in the platinum robe and said with a smile: "I like this young man." ”
The old man in the platinum robe sneered and said, "You people in the Hell Organization like it. ”
Xiao Huan had no intention of participating in their topic anymore at this time, and through a few words from these two people, he suddenly understood one thing:
The Inferno Organization, and Dante's Organization, in terms of position and plan, were originally one family.
They're executing the same plan.
He even guessed something from the attitude of these two people, the reputation of the Hell Organization is terrifying, it has destroyed many cities and killed many people, but perhaps, it is just the Hell Organization in the name of madness, to eliminate those who may threaten their plans?
As for why Black Gate City has become a forbidden area in hell......
…… Is it because the city of the Black Gate has been eliminated once, and the Hell organization has changed its mind and wants to keep the possibility that the city of the black gate represents?
The sensitivity of the discerning is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Many of Xiao Huan's conjectures at this moment are unreasonable or even outrageous, but he still subconsciously thinks in this direction, and even the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it is possible.
He didn't look at me, but said, "But since you came to me, you still don't want to tell me?" ”
"Because now there is no need to say it out of our mouths."
The platinum-robed old man of Dante's organization sighed softly, looked at Xiao Huan seriously, and said, "You have already got Lao An's memory, haven't you?" ”
"I think after you see what he has been through, you will understand what we are doing, and you will understand what the problem of Noah's plan is......"
"However, we still have to remind you that it is best to understand this before returning to Blackgate."
"And if, after you understand all this, understand our intentions, and are willing to terminate Project Noah, you can come to us......"
“…… We'll give you a spot! ”
“……”
“……”
Hearing them say this, it seems that they have intentionally ended this conversation, and the high column where Xiao Huan is manifested by his will, and he can feel everything in this high column.
And now, as the other party's last few words fell, he felt that the breath of these two people seemed to be fading and thinning.
Just as they didn't say hello to enter the high column, now that they are leaving, he seems to have no way to stop them, so he suddenly felt slightly anxious in his heart, and said to the two people: "No matter what I will see......
"But it's always right to expel those foreign things and restore the world to its original appearance, isn't it?"
"Trust in our world's will and let that excess pain be diluted, it's okay, right?"
“……”
This is still one of the few times he asked, and he asked such a question in a hurry.
Because, from the words of these two people, he heard that they seemed to be very confident, as if they were sure that after they understood Mr. An's memory, they would definitely choose to terminate Noah's plan and join their camp.
Therefore, Xiao Huan was vaguely dissatisfied in his heart, and he wanted to ask their opinions on the questions based on these two principles.
In fact, Xiao Huan also succeeded, and the fading figures of these two people did stop slightly after hearing his inquiry, and then gave their answers thoughtfully.
The platinum-robed old man of Dante's organization looked at Xiao Huan and said, "If there is really something foreign, then what is the significance of the singularity that triggers everything in our understanding?" ”
The middle-aged man in a black suit from the Hell Organization laughed and replied succinctly:
"Has the world not deceived you? Youngster! ”
