Chapter 405

Roach turned sluggishly and looked with some awe at the broken end of the world, the golem jumping through the broken scene like jumping through the door of a curtain of light.

"Roach." Du Zhengyi listened carefully for a while, and asked casually, "Can you hear the creepy voice of your ribs growing?" ”

Roach raised his hand and pressed his chest, a curious look slowly appeared on his face, "Broken ribs, bruised lungs. I used your battle mage methods to shut down all this part of the nerves. ”

"Self-taught." Du Zhengyi said, holding back the lesson that it is dangerous for Luo Qi to do this, and that class will be saved until after eating and sleeping and waking up. "This is the last test, and it won't be like that again."

"Did I pass the test?"

"Even if the sandbox is broken, there is no delay in extracting data, the process has been completed, and this is the end of it. This is also the condition that I agree to the test, whether it succeeds or not, this is the last time, and I will not cooperate with them again. However, I think the test was a success, and the committee will accept the results in the end. Although you may be put on the cart by Jonlin in the future and become a cow pulling the cart, at least for now this stage is over. You've become part of the Orthodox Mage Society, and I'm finally relieved. ”

Luo Qi raised his eyes and looked at Du Zhengyi's face carefully, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked like he was about to cry but suddenly laughed, "They are all SB." ”

Du Zhengyi looked at him worriedly. He laughed even harder, and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his lungs, "They're all SB." When they took you away, I actually gave in completely, and I would pull the cart if they asked me to pull it. As a result, they're going to test me to see if I'm qualified to be a mage? When do I care about being a mage? They want me to work for them. So what do they pay me? Credits? The power to bully a low-level mage? A sense of belonging? Luo Qi laughed and reached out to grab Du Zhengyi's arm, "Let you live, I'll work." Fuck the common good, the great cause, I don't care, I'm not Hitler's minions. ”

Du Zhengyi's face turned a little pale, Luo Qi said something against his lifelong pursuit, if words can also have power, he can feel Luo Qi is rolling up a hurricane. But he can't refute or be annoyed, because Roach isn't even on his own side, and how can you blame a man when he's stabbing you in both sides? After a while, he said, "Don't you and Guan Xinyue often shout that everyone dies?" ”

Roach jerked up a hand to his mouth, "Everyone dies, and I can die, but I want to die fairly." No matter how Pei Shu dragged you into the gang, I don't want to hear that kind of talk when you tell others. Also, whatever I'm going to do, don't interfere with me, and don't stop me as long as I don't cross the last line. ”

"Okay." Du Zhengyi said.

Roach looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, and he said calmly, "We are friends. Luo Qi waited for a long time, Du Zhengyi didn't follow, as if to change the topic, Du Zhengyi said, "They are too neat, are they a creature?" ”

"Did you observe?" Roach said, "I don't know how long the original consciousness has been here, maybe the limbs have been scrapped and new puppets have been added, but in order to save trouble, the adjusted old consciousness has been directly loaded." This consciousness exists here from generation to generation, and the new puppets that are added will more or less retain a little bit of their original consciousness and memory, and in order to coordinate their actions, they are artificially synchronized with their minds. I don't know when the collective consciousness began to produce the self, and although the brain activity of each puppet was not good, thousands of mutilated brains merged to form an almost complete brain, a self. ”

"How do you define completeness?" Du Zhengyi asked keenly.

"I plugged myself in." Roach whispered, "I felt lonely, longing, jealous. ”

After being silent for a long time, Du Zhengyi whispered, "It's terrible." ”

"It's like Frankenstein." Roach said, "The mages inadvertently created an android. What exactly are we mages? Savage as primitive humans, but more powerful than modern humans. ”

"That's why we need a committee to restrain us." Du Zhengyi said.

"Does it work? I feel like it's getting out of hand. ”

"Maybe one day you'll be able to put together a better committee to manage it all." Du Zhengyi said, "Qionglin has existed for thousands of years, and bystanders know that all organizations that are too old will not be too good, and sooner or later they will ossify. ”

"How can you talk like that? I thought you were loyal to Jonlin. Roach frowned in surprise, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Du Zheng smiled, "Who gave you the impression that I was loyal to Qionglin?" My allegiance is to the Lonely Mountain, and to the great cause you won't let me talk about. ”

"I see, the Lone Mountain Guards are not loyal to anyone per se, and the tangle does not attach you to someone. No wonder the mage never produced an emperor, nor did he produce a state. Rocky said thoughtfully. So something went wrong with Jonlin, and you were released with some freedom. ”

"I'm not detained, am I?" Du Zhengyi said, "Why do you want to stay with the puppet? You could have found a secluded place to wait for me. ”

Roach's face seemed to ache sharply in his chest, "I saw a puppet holding a stuffed toy dog, like a young man. ”

"You have the curiosity to investigate deeply? You do know you're going to get beaten, right? ”

"No, I found the golems collecting these things. As I think about it, they might have collected something. Roach said, reaching into the pocket of his coat and pulling out a roll of shabby, dirty cloth.

"What is this?" Du Zhengyi forced himself to stay calm. "A book made of richly illustrated cloth. The first page has a cabbage drawn, and you worked so hard to get this because your IQ is about the same as that of a cabbage? ”

"It's a baby book." Roach said.

"What?"

"Babies read books, so they're made of cloth, and babies tear paper. You haven't seen it. Rocky explained.

"I wasn't born to tear books, I don't need such childish things." Du Zhengyi said, and suddenly his heart moved, "Wait, this is a book, is there a text?" There won't be a lot of written stuff that hasn't been destroyed. ”

"I knew you'd expect to think that all the paper was ruined and the library was empty. The billboards on the streets were also empty, and the walls were cleared. I can only find something that is not paper, but may have words, and has a chance to be preserved. Roach rubbed away the dirt from under the cabbage, revealing a line of elegant symbols.

Both of them fell silent as Roach slowly flipped through the baby's book, "Interesting, right?" ”

"Interesting." Du Zhengyi said slowly, he pointed to the symbol under a sheep, "I will pronounce this word." ”

"How do you pronounce it?"

"I don't want to miss it."

"This is an ancient mage spell, you don't want to miss such a sacred spell? I don't know at all, I'm only in the third grade, and I'm still a scumbag. ”

"I'll realize it's an onomatopoeia." Du Zhengyi said dryly.

"Blea?" Rocky asked.

"Almost." Du Zheng nodded.

Roach re-opened the baby book, "So the incantation is just a lost word, not sacred at all. It's just that when we use it, there will be power, and some people use it just words. ”

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, and he was shocked even more than Luo Qi.

"Look here, it's a completely human city." "These people used to use the language of mages, but they lived like humans. Where have they gone now? Are we the ones who don't have magic? They used to live together? Why did they disappear? Guess if we s' them? ”
