Tomorrow's Ark, the Battle of the Sick

The doctor sat at the only square table in the cabin.

The cabin is small and has only one window. Outside the window, you can see the silhouetted black forest and the blood-red full moon, just like the witch forest in a fairy tale, full of indescribable fantasy colors.

Is it a dream?

If the doctor remembers correctly, at this time he should be sitting in the carriage heading to the capital of the Ursus Empire, the girls were talking beside him, and he, who was a little sleepy, leaned on the soft cushion of the carriage to take a rest.

When he opened his eyes, the doctor was already sitting here. Perhaps this was a dream, but it definitely had nothing to do with his subconscious mind.

After withdrawing his eyes from the blood moon outside the window, the doctor looked at the indescribable existence in front of him.

'It' seems to have just arrived, and it seems to have always been there.

Doctors can't describe the specific appearance of 'it', including shape and color, just like a person in a three-dimensional world trying to peek at things from higher dimensions, but the simple human brain is doomed to be unable to understand such a complex structure.

"who are you?"

the doctor asked aloud.

The other party didn't answer the doctor, but when the doctor lowered his head, he saw a small note on the table with an unfamiliar word written on it, but for some reason the doctor could understand it.

There are only two words above.

—Sea water, rainbow.

The sea is the origin of life. If the doctor can understand this little-known truth in Terra and is destined to be denied by religion, then he cannot understand what the so-called 'rainbow' means.

"what is your purpose?"

Then the doctor asked the indescribable thing a second question, but the other party still didn't respond.

Just unknowingly, the handwriting on the note changed quietly.

--moss.

The doctor pondered the meaning of the word.

Mosses, the lowest plants for the Terrans, are ubiquitous but rarely attract attention.The doctor looked at the indescribable object suspiciously. If his guess is correct, the moss on the note may be meaningless, or it may refer to something.

Something extremely weak, but not negligible.

The doctor lowered his head in thought, and after a long time he slowly raised his head and looked directly at the indescribable thing in front of him.

Although he is wearing a mask, the doctor believes that the other party can see his expression clearly at this time. If necessary, the other party may be able to see every cell structure of his face. However, the doctor still maintains his current expression and bends under the mask. mouth up.

The indescribable thing sitting at the table, the doctor has not seen it, but has seen it.

In the past, there had been something huge, terrifying, formidable, ancient on Terra, the Doctor wasn't sure who it was, but it must have been part of that group.

Perhaps for ordinary people, just looking at it directly will cause insanity and fall into madness.

But for the doctor, the existences in front of him that cannot be described so far, without any information, without any origin, the only thing that can hinder the doctor is their mystery.

Because there is a fact that even it cannot change, that is 'they' have completely failed on the physical level, the great war destroyed all their foundations, if it used to be called 'God', then the gods will not Nor can it interfere with the world of Terra.

"What is the purpose of bringing me here?"

Although he really wanted to say this sentence, the doctor hesitated for a while, but he didn't say it after all.

Because just like those meaningless replies just now, the other party may not be able to understand his question, just like the Terrans have developed a developed civilization, but they still cannot communicate with the ants, even with the help of Originium skills.

In the eyes of the other party, the Terrans are just ants. Even if they are physically defeated by the "ants", it is just an accident similar to "a dike of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest". The ants can always rely on their numbers and "civilization". Create miracles, but ants are just ants after all.

In order to communicate with the ants, the indescribable thing is using the simplest syllables and vocabulary to let the doctor understand its will.Although it is very absurd, in fact the difference in the life levels of the two sides is so great that the simple human brain is doomed to never understand the language held by the indescribable thing.

Even the time of existence cannot be compared.

Before the rise of the Terran species, the unknown may have witnessed countless populations like the Terrans who entered the civilized age from the barbaric era, and then self-destructed or were eliminated by the "big screen" like the previous generation, Terra Man is one of them, but it won't be the last.

The Doctor doesn't know what it's doing with this move, because even if it kills the Doctor here, it's all over irretrievably, and 'they' as far as the Doctor knows don't do things that don't make sense.

As a result, a contradiction arises.

At least in the doctor's view, its actions are meaningless, everything is over, except for the integration movement, which originates from the variables of the Terra people themselves, they can no longer interfere with Terra's affairs.

Then the handwriting on the note changed again.

This time there is only a slightly longer vocabulary.

And when the doctor saw the word 'sailing boat across the sea' appearing in the note, he finally realized the true intention of the indescribable thing.

It wasn't the expected dark intentions, nor was it some kind of mental shock. The other party had only one meeting with the doctor.

It came to bid farewell to the doctor.

"Really." This may be the longest time the doctor has been silent since the end of the war, "Are you ready to leave?"

As respectable opponents who once sat on both sides of the chessboard, they cannot be described, cannot be eliminated, and their motives cannot be guessed. They have always been in a state of chaos, and they made an unexpected move for the doctor.

After the end of the Great War, people thought that the end of the Great War was the end of all disasters. The development of Originium Industry had already destroyed the ore disease, and would sooner or later destroy the natural disaster and change the entire continent.

However, as the only insider, when the doctor learned that they had given up their plan to make a comeback, and were going to set sail and leave this world, he felt a bit disappointed.

There are still many troublesome things waiting for him in the future, but the doctor can handle them all, and preparing for their comeback is the only duty the doctor has been given.But now, for some reason, they are ready to leave, and finally say goodbye to the enemy named 'Doctor'.

"No matter how history evolves, you ultimately created this world and promoted the development of civilization."

After being silent for a while, the doctor stood up slowly, looked out the window at the blood-red full moon and the black forest like a silhouette, and walked behind the indescribable thing.
