Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 252 The Night of Rome

"Everyone is going to die."

"But you won't." She looked at Shangluo, "your hair, this is a sign of ascension to heaven, isn't it? You have stepped into the door of immortality. After the success of the water dragon, you can still be in the star sea We seek eternal life for all. And we... we give up. Because there is no place for us in the sea of ​​stars, because there is no night in the universe."

"But we also said that the universe is 'Xuan Ye', isn't it all night?"

"That's a saying. The actual definition is: the night is the shadow of the earth, and there is a moon in the night. But the moon is not important at all, it is just a satellite of the earth, isn't it? Looking for the shadow of the earth in the vast sea of ​​stars, This is unavoidable. Some."

She covered her forehead, this is the reality that she and countless Romans have to face: "Aurora wants to find the sun, which is the greatest ideal, because every star you see when you look up is a glorious and brilliant star But we only have a small earth, and we still have to look for the shadow of the earth. What a narrow and sad way to find the shadow of the earth in the sea of ​​stars. But..."

"but?"

Victoria slowly raised her head, together with the infinite mirror in the mirror: "However, there is more than one road to eternity, and we already know what we are going to do. So I submitted my credentials - my heart is bright, and the moon is perfect. "

"I have also read this credential. So, what does it mean?"

"It means looking for the shadow of the earth, looking for the moon, looking for the eternal night, we have already counted. We will stand side by side with Cathay again, because we understand that the road that belongs to Rome is not to the sky, not upward. It is—— Down! Now, please allow me to formally welcome you here." She looked into Shangluo's eyes, and Victoria in countless mirrors also looked at him:
"Friends who are about to go to 'The Vast Universe in the Sky', welcome to the 'Infinite Universe in a Nutshell'. Here is the cornerstone of New Rome, City Zero in Cyberspace. Welcome, Cyber Rhenia!"

The mirror is shattered.The shining mirror surface collapsed, but the mirror image did not disappear.Behind Victoria, he saw his own back.Up, he saw the soles of his feet, and down, the top of his head.This is a detached perspective that has never been seen before——

"This is?"

Victoria said calmly: "Maybe there is indeed only one earth, but there are infinite shadows of the earth. Up or down, you can lead to infinity. By searching down, we found the infinite eternal night. Here, the sun is forever It will not rise, and time will never pass. Everything is waiting for us to redefine, create, and develop. In the endless night, we are as immortal as the gods and humans of Cathay. Dan's answer."

"You want to give up the material world and upload yourself to the virtual cyber space???"

"Not uploading, but entering. We will sink our whole body and mind into the night. Into the infinity below the river Styx."

"But." Shangluo recalled that feeling - the harshest extreme cold, the most lonely loneliness.That's what it's like to drown.

"You will die. You, all of you will die." He looked into Victoria's eyes.

"That's just a ritualized death, and it's also the path to eternal life. Because the dead don't die, once you die, you can't die again. But it was really a difficult decision. After giving up the material world, Rome really died Well. This is the curtain call of the old Rome, but the new Rome will be reborn in Cyberonia, and the phoenix will eventually emerge from the ashes. So. When we choose to go to the night, everything under the sun will be you It's gone."

"This is really shocking." Shang Luo was shocked.

"It's just that we may not go so smoothly. As a reward for selling the world, we hope that Zhendan can help us at the last moment and buy us a little time. Just a little time, let us complete the construction of Cyberspace . A little is enough. How do you like it?"

"I was shocked. I need to report this kind of problem to the emperor."

Slowly, she took a sip of tea: "Okay, that's business, but there are still some private matters between friends. At the end of the last, wish us a pleasant journey, an old friend who has only met once. It's called an old friend, yes Because all the people from Cathay are our old friends. But I met once. Well, not counting this time, I actually met you before."

"Have you seen it? Where is it?"

"At Constantinia Airport. I saw you calmly sparring with that topless miscellaneous soldier. Your sword skills are as elegant as ethereal ether. Your philosophical pupils are full of everything, and your body It has an air of exhilaration.”

"Ah, thank you for the compliment."

"Actually, they asked me to go on a blind date. They hoped that we could achieve a marriage and keep the royal blood of Rome within the empire. At that time I said... no. But actually I like you. Really... I like you very much."

"what?"

"I'm serious. Although there was only a vague feeling, it took me 4 seconds to factor my mind: I saw in you wisdom, strength and calmness, which is what the Roman Empire in my dream should have So I have a high degree of recognition for you, as well as a strong emotional and spiritual attachment. This externalization of self-awareness and psychological visibility is a psychological phenomenon called romantic love. But I I also know that Rome is about to go far away, and the blood of the earth is no longer important, so I rejected their proposal. I didn't want to say this, but your celestial hair and red pupils made me...let me have another hormone-based an impulsive emotion.”

Shang Luo heard this series of words, and heard them clearly.

However, he didn't feel joy at all, only sadness.He knew it wasn't liking at all.A person may fall in love with countless people at first sight in his life, but not everyone will turn his love at first sight into action.Unless. She is saying goodbye to her own life, an emotional catharsis.

[When a person is about to die, his words are also good.When a bird is about to perish, its song also mourns. ] Apollonia also saw what she meant.

Rome is about to leave the world for a long journey, and their connection with the world will gradually fade.Leave the world under the sun to your old friends, but that's where it ends.

"Wait." Shang Luo suddenly raised his head, a light flashed in his eyes.

【ah! ] Apollonia also thought of it, 【That!That and that! 】

"Victoria!" Shang Luo stood up against the table, "I have a question for you!"

"Ah???" Victoria, who was imaged in blue, her cheeks turned dark blue, "Me, me."

"Your cyber space, can you log in some new people to enter!"

"Huh?" The dark blue face returned to normal, but a little disappointed, "You mean, you want to bring people in? How many people?"

"8 people!" He confirmed to Apollonia the total number of "Kinai" in the two capitals, 2721 provinces, Nanyang and overseas.
