Is It Really Ark of Tomorrow?

Although the infected people themselves didn't really care about it, and some even felt that it was a good death, because they knew that they were no different from others.Whether it is a patient with Originium disease or an ordinary person, their attitudes in the ocean of thinking are the same.This alone is enough for countless infected people to fall on this road one after another.

But the river is too frightening. Even after Li Lin cut down most of the impact and death scene, the terror that comes at that moment still makes people feel a state of suspended animation.Even in the very first experiment, some people were frightened to death because they were too terrified.Occult research is a chosen path. If the mind and talent are not strong enough, it is impossible to see the fantastic world.

Even if Li Lin used the soul furnace to forge the reality stability anchor and the boundary detonator, being able to touch the river is still the privilege of a few people.Most people can only hover on the fringes, sent to the superstructure to contribute to false biological research.

Moreover, Skadi is the pinnacle of external defense means, and it is unknown if the experiment will have some kind of terrifying resonance with her in the later stage.Whether those horrible and unbelievable pictures in the description will come to me, whether I can accept it, is also something I don't know.

Incidentally, the head of the Memetics Division had observed Skadi for a while but ultimately did nothing.Li Lin was also not interested in asking about his private life.If someone in their family was chopped off by Skadi, that would be a disaster.He was disgusted enough to be in the river every day, and he didn't have time to deal with such trivial matters.

Similarly, because of mental discord, Chanel asked to clear his memory and quit the team.After all, he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. If he insists on getting involved, no matter who finds out, he will die miserably.After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose the side of the Chamber of Commerce.Although Xinnen Valley seems to have a promising future, with his wife and children, he is not idealistic and cannot gamble everything.

There were setbacks, and they were constant.But there is good news. For example, the soul technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and an action area that can be explored has been laid on the edge of hell, and a deeper secret has been touched.

There are even some clues about meme weapons, and corresponding devices can already be used to isolate meme transmission and informatization amplification, which are some good things.

But in the time when good things and bad things are entangled, time is passing bit by bit.

So in a blink of an eye, although such a foundation has been laid, Li Lin still has some dissatisfaction and annoyance.

How can someone else set up a power and lay down such a huge foundation within four months? They can do whatever they want, and they start their own company in a sneaky way. It's hard to find someone now?

Of course, this kind of mood is evaluated as tired without sleep for four months.The four supervisors forced Li Lin to go to sleep and rest outside for a week before returning to work.So he was kicked out of the Hinnom Valley building in such a dismal manner.

The boss was kicked out of the building, what's the attitude, really.

"But in the end... I don't know what I should do."

Sitting back on the bench near Linguang's house, Li Lin looked up at the rainy sky and sighed long.

There are still some medium-term plans in the future, for example, after the Hinnom Valley stabilizes, go directly to Ursus to find a place to attract a group of people to start digging the river.Anyway, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so Li Lin can deal with any problems by himself.

The long-term plan is to return to Colombia after Ursas and Casimir have gained a firm foothold and ask the subsidiary to redeem themselves and become independent. In this regard, the other party should ask a high price. Of course, he has also made a series of plans.After all, Hinnom Valley basically didn’t spend any money on its development, it was all from the soul.

But there are only short-term goals and nothing, and this week's vacation is like a year for him.

He said it was fine to sleep, but in fact Li Lin got up from the bed after only sleeping for four hours, running around in circles all the way.Then according to Manna's memory, he ran to a chair near his house and sat down.

This cannot be blamed on him, after all, Li Lin himself was in charge of suppressing Manna's disorder after several suppressions.This is the road every time, and then I ran into the house to fight the liberation war.Li Lin couldn't forget Manna's light gun biubiubiu even if he wanted to, so his instinct slipped in.

If you don't mention the history that the light gun that greeted the alienated Manna after entering directly was almost nailed into a sieve, in fact, the neighborhood in his memory is still very suitable for rest.Just like it is now, the sky is drizzling, the humid air and the fragrance of the vegetation and soil around the manor, as well as the faint noise from outside, everything is so quiet and beautiful.It's no wonder that Manna treats her family and homeland like something precious every day.

If you sleep here... it should be a good thing...

Sitting drowsy on the bench, Li Lin watched the outside world become more and more blurred until his consciousness gradually fell into chaos.

Then, he heard a crisp cry that belonged to a young girl in bloom.

"Li, Mr. Li Lin? Is it Mr. Li Lin?!"

"……Eh?"

What's going on?How can there still be fans who know me in this backcountry?I should have changed a lot over the years, right?

Hearing the excited voice, Li Lin, whose brain was a little rusty because of being too tired, looked in the direction of the voice stiffly, and immediately saw a handful of blond hair and ponytail rushing towards him.

Then, under Li Lin's bewildered eyes, the rushing girl grabbed Li Lin's palm, and that delicate and heroic face was filled with inexplicable trust and excitement. It was as if he had seen his own spiritual pillar.

"I, I've always wanted to see you, Mr. Li Lin!"

"..."

Seeing the excited face clearly, Li Lin trembled with fright.

Margaret Linguang, Manna's most precious niece, who is also the main spokesperson of Casimir's hunger, is holding his hand with excitement at this moment, as if holding the future.

Chapter No.16 Idols, Star Chasers and Possibilities

The first time he saw Margaret Linguang, he was a little embarrassed to say it. What Li Lin thought was to open the boundary destroyer and pull the Alpha team over to kill Linguang.

But he can't be blamed for this. In the meme phenomenon named 'Casimir's Hunger', most of the aggregates of those pollutants appeared in the form of Margaret Linguang.And the appearance was almost the same sacred and lofty appearance at the beginning, but when they fight, they can be said to be in various poses and with different styles, each with their own unique skills.

From the most basic physical mutation to trash talk to all kinds of attack tricks and disgusting variants you can think of, and even watching a glorious female knight deformed into a thousand-handed and thousand-eyed monster at the end Although this kind of visual impact is not enough to slowly change the consciousness of others like a meme, when Leng Buding looked at that face, he subconsciously wanted to punch him.

It is said that [-]% of the members of the executive team have given up their illusions about the knight contest and Casimir's political environment, which directly shows that the world is probably a cesspit aggregate.The other [-]% mainly said that rolling in a cesspit has a different taste, and everyone should not be prejudiced against it.As for those who have developed abnormal habits, they have been pulled out and corrected.In general, when seeing this face, even Manna himself had to shudder twice to react.

Of course, Li Lin still held back.It's not that he reacted quickly, but that the action of the girl in front of him was a bit beyond his expectation.

"You must have suffered a lot. Please believe me. I am your supporter. You can come to my house to rest. My house is very big, and there is no one to investigate and supervise. You can trust me."

"...?"

Now, if I go to your house, Manna can't just jump out of the grass and shoot me in the face with a light gun?

Seeing the seemingly calm and elegant girl holding her chest, and looking seriously at Margaret, Li Lin looked at the corners of her slightly uncontrollable mouth and the trembling ears and tail, feeling quite interesting.

Think about it, an absolute nightmare that often appears in dreams, but in reality it is a little girl who likes to wag her ears and tail, looks very energetic and advocating chivalry, this really looks quite different of.

"Actually, I didn't become like this because of hunting."

But there are still basic principles, and some things must be made clear.For Margaret, who looked expectant, Li Lin thought for a while and said directly:

"It's not because I was hunted down or anything. It's just that I'm tired from work during this time, so I just come out to relax. You don't have to have too many thoughts. It's not a good habit to ask the opposite sex to go to your house."

"Don't look at me like this, I'm a knight, my body is very strong, it doesn't matter!"

"That's not what I meant..."

"It's okay, I trust you!"

"..."

Looking at Margaret with a bright smile, Li Lin suddenly understood why Maenna refused to let this niece know many stories and inside information.

It is undoubtedly a cruel thing to tell this little girl full of chivalrous fantasies about the reality.As long as time passes and she doesn't make mistakes, she will understand all this naturally.

Just judging from the background of the story, Margaret's luck may come to an abrupt end after this competition.Because of some accident, she became an infected person, and then became an apostle wandering on the earth, and gradually transformed from a girl full of chivalry beliefs in front of her to a real knight.

At least, from the original historical trajectory, this is the case.But maybe, I can slightly change this so-called ending.

Looking at the little girl with a bright smile in front of him, Li Lin suddenly realized that he seemed to be a senior to the characters of Ark many times.

Skadi is working under his own hands, Chen should have returned to work at Longmen by now, and Bagpipe should be serving in the army at this time.Everyone in Rhine Life is still implementing the Balrog plan that has been modified.

In a sense, I may have influenced the world a lot.Don't know the meaning of good or bad.But at least I shouldn't resist this change.Just like Margaret turned into Casimir's hunger, was it Margaret's fault?Apparently not, that is the fault of this world distortion.

Countless people's desires and subconscious pinned on Margaret, distorting this innocent girl into what she saw in the other world.In the eyes of everyone, desires and ideals will be distorted into a posture suitable for their own development and speaking.With countless desires, Margaret, who bears their desires, will turn into a monster with thousands of hands and eyes, using any image and ability to win.

Also just to win.They didn't care what Linguang said or what she did.Gamblers who have put their lives on the roulette wheel will not listen to the wailing of idealism under the daily necessities of life.Therefore, the image of Margaret on the edge of hell is just an illusion created forever. It is precisely because no one believes in the light on her body that she will be torn into flesh and blood in the first time.

But all this is still too late.It only needs a little help, a little involvement, and there is still time.

"Even if I am no longer a student leader and haven't appeared for a long time, do you still believe in me? Even if I have fallen into this state now?"

"Well! I believe in you! The spirit of being brave and fearless to say no to those sufferings and darkness will always be the direction for me to learn and move forward!"

"It's not brave, it's just to make sure they can't kill me. But it's okay..."

Seeing Margaret with an expectant face, her eyes really shining with anticipation, Li Lin couldn't help laughing at this girl who was much younger and immature than the knight of the ark in his impression.

Looking at it this way, it really is a child who has not stepped out of the world.Not too wary of people, blindly hoping that his actions can change the world.

But it was also a taste of the student movement.

But just when Li Lin was about to agree to this warm invitation, he heard a faint voice behind him.

"...You are really in a good mood, boss."

"uncle!"

"..."

Why don't you be your repeater?

Looking at Manna, who was bathed in the drizzle, with a sad face, Li Lin somehow had the illusion that someone had caught his painful feet.

Chapter No.17 The Silhouette of Reality

Linguang house.

Compared with the resplendent mansion that could become a palace of light in Manna's impression, the Linguang Mansion now looks a lot dilapidated.

Those exquisite light ornaments and props have been sold out, and there are not even a few works of art in the empty hall.Representing a generation of legends, the old silver gun knight gradually became seriously ill and became unconscious.

This era is no longer the era when Casimir was full of pride and ambition.They used to be the most glorious remnants of the last era. Although the rumors that they attacked the Ursus army and reversed the entire war by themselves are still talked about today, the real heroes no longer have any influence. Dying on the hospital bed.

Not that they are dead, but because the new age does not need their light.The former Casimir was in ruins, and it is the current Chamber of Commerce that pulls them up from the ruins.It was the greed and desire of those merchants that quickly revived Casimir, which had been destroyed in the flames of war, and expanded heavily, spreading branches and leaves, forming a strong contrast with Ursas next door, which had become increasingly crazy.

So they have to go down, they have to hide.Because this means the transfer of power, it means that the ruler of Casimir will let more capable people come to power.

Although this business association looks uglier than before, everyone knows...they are the better side.

People of the older generation still remember the state of the feudal knights.A small number of conscientious knights, more sufferings that turn a blind eye, the land of Casimir is full of the so-called honor and white bones of the knights.

They don't care about the lives of their people, let alone what those untouchables are thinking.The mansions of the knights inside the high walls are unimaginably luxurious, but the passers-by outside don’t even have enough to eat, and not many even have self-awareness, they just live like walking dead.Struggling just for the next day, no hope, no dream, like a pool of stagnant water.

It was the Chamber of Commerce that brought hope to the country to rise.Those civilians had a way to rise, and began to work harder and harder to open up in this world.Those powerful wanderers also gradually returned to the city, using their abilities to win the rewards they deserved.Compared with the cruel and indifferent era of knights in the past, although many people are aggrieved in the era of business alliances, there are more voices of appreciation.

If an organization is not likable from the beginning to the end, then it is impossible for the organization to develop at all.This is also the main reason why the Linguang family has never allowed their influence to move those knights into action, although they are declining day by day.

They all know who can save the dying Casimir. This is a great sacrifice like cutting off flesh and blood.Only by their silence can the commercial alliance show its vitality more smoothly, and it also allows the knights to witness the terrible consumption and development of this monster more and more.

Every minute, every second, every moment, countless desires and obsessions are formed in this city, hovering over countless companies and people.Behind this prosperity, there are the backs and silence of the knights.They are not powerless to keep silent, just because now is the time for business alliances.But unfortunately, Margaret Linguang never understood this point.

In other words, many people are not clear about the operating mechanism of this world.They are not those in power and rulers, they only have their own world in their eyes.But there are more things to consider as a superior, so it will inevitably lead to indifference and sacrifice on the one hand.When transitioning, there will always be a group of people who fall out of the car.People in the car naturally don't feel anything, but those outside the car feel that they have been abandoned by the times.

The Linguang family obviously has this style.As the biggest leaders of the old era, their long cavalry husband and wife have both disappeared, and it is very likely that they have done some untouchable and unspeakable things.After returning as a ranger, Manna naturally rejected such inheritance and became a so-called ornament.But the price of not wanting to be a decoration is to become a social animal controlled and monitored by others.All of this is not clear to Linguang, her happiness and pain are only limited to the Internet and the people around her.

She is ignorant of the suffering of the land, but full of a certain childish hope.This is also what made Manna even more disgusted and resistant.Only an idealist can know how painful and desperate it is when idealism ends.

As for Li Lin's situation... he is rather special.

You can't expect a martyr in the past life to survive in the future life. People who already know what's going on have too many ideas about these things.

What other people think has nothing to do with him, he just wants to do what he should do.It is precisely because his will is like floating clouds to him that he can maintain the raw stone skills at the same time, and he himself stepped into the dark river to fish for props.

It's just that Margaret Linguang had no way of understanding all of this. She just greeted Li Lin warmly and came to her home, then held hands and sat on the main seat under Manna's sharp murderous eyes, and then served After drinking a cup of black tea, he looked at Li Lin eagerly.

But Li Lin could only take a sip of black tea under the eager and indifferent eyes of the two horsemen.Then she looked at Margaret and showed a very gentle smile.

"Very nice black tea, Miss Margaret, thank you."

"Mr. Li Lin—"

"Just call me Li Lin. I'm not much older than you."
