Chapter 1544 Create an Eden

Even if the secret hidden here is discovered, the high priest can still hold his breath... At this time, he put his hands under the scale and tried his best, but he couldn't hold the scale up.

It seems to have taken root in the ground... The high priest quickly gave up this futile attempt.

He patted the ashes on his hands, stood up on his knees, and faced the young guard in front of him, "I seem to have encountered something beyond my understanding. It seems that this time Otto's clone outside, not only Bringing Claudia, and even bringing something unexpected... What are you? A lamp god with mysterious power?"

The young guard... Boss Luo said curiously: "It seems that Your Excellency the High Priest really knows a lot from Mr. Otto... However, I don't seem to see Mr. Otto here."

What he meant was that there was no Otto in these containers.

The high priest said: "It's a pity that Otto's body is very difficult to capture, even if he has already fallen into the City of the Sun. But it doesn't matter, anyway, there is Otto's backup in the scale."

"Let's talk carefully, I have a few questions." Boss Luo smiled, then waved his hand, and a stool appeared out of thin air behind the high priest.

The high priest uncontrollably sat on the stool that appeared behind him, and then the stool moved forward, sending him directly in front of Luo Qiu.

A round table, another chair... The boss sat down slowly, and teapots and cups for hospitality began to appear on the table.

While pouring tea into the teacup, Luo Qiu said casually: "If you don't want to talk, you can stop talking at any time, but if you want to continue talking, can you ask the high priest to put down the remote control under the sleeve first... Even if you blow this up completely If it's destroyed, I probably won't get hurt."

The high priest stared at the young guard in front of him, and finally put a remote control hidden in his sleeve on the table without saying a word... He frowned and said: "You want the scale, you want the material here ...You can easily take it away from me, why are you still discussing it with me?"

"Based on a rule." Boss Luo smiled and said: "Besides, a rule is a rule. I never meant to rob others. You discovered the scale, and these people in the container were collected by you over the years. You can It is your labor success, and it is yours.”

The high priest couldn't help frowning... He could vaguely feel that this guy didn't have the universal concept of right and wrong, and he could do whatever he wanted.

"What do you want to know." The high priest was silent for a moment. He knew that when faced with an incomprehensible force, he had no choice but to compromise—not to mention that the power of the scale seemed to be suppressed by the other party.

"For example, how did the High Priest get this [Scale of Good and Evil]?" Boss Luo thought for a while.

The high priest glanced at Yamanlana's position abruptly. He was surprised to find that the flashes emitted by the scales hadn't disappeared, and it was still trapping Yamanlana like a shelf, and the wound on her abdomen was still there. It's just that the blood has stopped flowing... Her time seems to have stopped.

The high priest could clearly see a drop of blood floating above the ground...

"It's nothing special." The high priest said indifferently at this time: "I'm just a very ordinary victim fleeing the war. Wherever I can survive, I will flee. I don't know the direction. I just go when the road appears. As we walked, we came across the temple in the oasis, and got this scale. How about it, are you disappointed?"

Boss Luo smiled and said, "It's better to say, this is more real... If this is not an arrangement, but an accidental encounter, don't you think this is a very interesting variable, Your Excellency the High Priest?"

"Do you believe in fate?" the high priest asked curiously.

The question was abrupt and didn't help him in any way with his current situation, but he just wanted to ask.

"You can't say you believe it." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "But I won't deny it... If you deny it, it will be unhappy."

"You really dare to say it..." The high priest couldn't help but sneered, as if he saw a lunatic... But for some reason, his heart was beating wildly at this moment, as if there was a voice in his head warning him, It's not a joke, it's true - there are real people who can control their fate according to their own wishes.

but.

Control fate?

Who can control fate... Even a person who claims to have his own destiny in his hands can't predict what will happen tomorrow - he is very likely to encounter an accident tomorrow and die.

"Just treat me as a joke." Boss Luo smiled and said: "Enliven the current atmosphere... After all, if I look more mysterious, I can take advantage of the following conversation... I recently They are all learning how to do business, so they will use some small tricks, I hope you don't mind, High Priest."

"This is not the words of a qualified businessman." The high priest shook his head.

"Probably." Luo Qiu was noncommittal, "...When Libra was discovered, did the City of the Sun already exist?"

The high priest nodded, then shook his head—he suddenly had a sense of absurdity—under the situation where he clearly controlled everything, why did things take a turn for the worse, and something that he couldn't understand appeared... It's like a A joke, a secret joke of fate.

Perhaps all creatures are just toys in the hands of fate.

"When I discovered the City of the Sun, it was just a dead city." The high priest recalled, "Libra has the ability to weigh a person's good and evil, and to divide good and evil."

"The residents in the city are all separated by this ability?" Luo Qiu thought for a while and said: "The soul is divided, and the divided souls are reborn separately, just like the tail of a gecko... No wonder it can duplicate two complete souls. exactly the same person."

As he said that, Boss Luo shook his head: "Yamalana told me that the people in the pool are all divided and belong to the ugly side, and they exist as batteries to provide energy consumption for this city of the sun. Come on, the high priest still didn't tell Yamanlana the truth."

"Oh?" The high priest narrowed his eyes.

Boss Luo said casually: "If it's like what Yamalana explained, naturally there is no way to explain the people in these containers... After all, as far as I can see, Yamalana... Claudia, there are already three one."

The one sleeping in the container, the one pierced in the abdomen by the high priest here, and the one who is directing the people in the palace to resist the giant beast.

"You...you know Claudia?" the high priest suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"We are classmates." The boss said frankly: "Recently, due to personal reasons, I enrolled in the school where classmate Claudia is... So, I also know something about the high priest and about you, Professor Xie Jiatu. By the way, The reason why I came to the desert is also because I was entrusted by classmate Claudia to find clues about Professor Xie Jiatu's disappearance from here."

The high priest was silent.

Boss Luo waited patiently.

The high priest let out a sigh of relief, "I never thought that she would find her here... It seems that I, in the outside world, did some unexpected things."

"Hmm..." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "It seems that the soul divided by the scales also has some flaws."

The high priest said indifferently: "After all, it is divided into a good side and an evil side. There will be some differences in character and behavior."

"Then what about the High Priest?" Boss Luo asked curiously, "Which one are you?"

"I'm Xie Jiatu."

Boss Luo nodded, "If the time away from the temple is too long, the outside... the split people outside will be deserted?"

"They have no way to last for a long time." The high priest said rather helplessly: "Their bodies were created from the sand in the desert here, and the implanted souls gave them the ability to move, but leaving the temple...in fact If they leave the scale for too long, their souls will not be replenished with strength. The soul will disappear, and the body will naturally turn into sand."

"It's a pity." Boss Luo suddenly shook his head.

The high priest frowned and said, "What's the pity?"

Boss Luo said: "It seems that the souls weighed by the scales are just one-time consumables. No matter how good the quality is, they cannot be preserved for a long time... This kind of soul is not even valuable. But the scale itself In terms of ability, it is already priceless.”

The high priest said solemnly: "The transformation of matter must abide by the law of reciprocity."

"Those giant beasts in the desert..." Luo Qiu shook his head and said, "Actually, it's the ugly side of these people. The folk customs in the City of the Sun are relatively simple, although there are some residents who have developed bad habits. , but I don’t think their nature is bad, are they facing the kind side... It’s just that even if it’s a kind side, there’s no guarantee that they won’t get into bad habits—of course, if someone secretly controls the spread of desire, it will The spreading speed will be very fast... just like the snake in Eden."

"Pure human beings are more likely to be tempted." The high priest smiled lightly, "This is an interesting experiment. As for the giant beasts in the desert, their origin is indeed the ugly side that was separated. I opened it at the same time in the City of the Sun. The two experiments taught good people desire and tried to make ugly people learn to be grateful. But unfortunately, people on the ugly side can't learn to be grateful, and even fall into madness because of the injection of goodness, and eventually mutate into A behemoth that can only break the will...and when good people, when they are infected with desire, they will also become a behemoth. Different types, different methods, but the same result."

Boss Luo asked curiously: "What is the conclusion that the High Priest has come to?"

The high priest said blankly: "Human beings are crazy because of kindness, and self-destruct because of desire... Human beings, since birth, have walked on a path of self-destruction. War, aggression, fighting for love, fighting for Fighting for family, fighting for country, competitive, dissatisfied, never-ending pace... all that's left in the end is sadness."

Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Under modern civilization, many happy individuals have appeared, and these individuals are tiny families."

"But the aggression is still there, it just changed the mode." The high priest mocked: "The progress of civilization is still barbaric. There are many people who want to save, but there are more humans who don't want to save... From Eve in Eden Since the apple was picked from the sky, there has been but one destiny for mankind."

"The fate of mankind..."

Boss Luo thought of Alaya, but he didn't intend to refute the words of the high priest—under the entire Alaya system, there is indeed only one destiny for countless sub-worlds... Unless, one of the sub-worlds can be transformed into a perfect world.

At present, the No. 003 world where he is located has already embarked on the process of destruction, but it has been postponed for decades because of him.

"You can't refute it, can you?" The high priest's eyes lighted up at this time, "Because everything I said is happening every day, and the outside world is performing powerless tragedies all the time... Believe me."

Boss Luo glanced at the high priest, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Excellency, I didn't mean to refute your point of view, I just wanted to understand your point of view... So, don't do extra things to me, Try to mess with my words again..."

The high priest's face suddenly turned pale.

His heart was in severe pain, he was dripping with cold sweat, and his brain seemed to explode at any moment. He felt unprecedented weakness, panic, fear... It was as if the claws of death had firmly grasped his heart.

But this feeling was only for an instant... In an instant, he felt a sense of collapse.

"Do you feel better?"

The high priest nodded palely, with a trace of awe in his wry smile: "An existence like you probably has never felt the control of fate on you."

"Maybe..." Boss Luo shook his head and said, "I will appear here today, which is also an arrangement of fate. However, the fate that you can see, recognize, and believe, and the fate that I can understand, Something is different."

"It's really enviable..." The high priest sighed heavily at this time: "It's like a black slave living in Africa, who can never believe in the luxury of a noble home in Europe... What kind of existence are you? , a demon... or a new creature that surpasses human evolution?"

"Me?" Boss Luo said with a slight smile, "I am me, and I have only one identity... Just like you, the high priest, you also have only one identity."

He was silent for a long time before he said seriously: "I need to make a perfect [tool], awaken the remnant souls in the scale, and fully grasp the power of the scale. Only in this way can the good and evil be separated from the world... let The way Eden is always good is for Eve to never pick that apple—but first, I need Eden to show up!"
