【Shining】Fallen

Gilgamesh went out for a walk, but instead of having fun, he was in a worse mood.Adhering to his self-centered principle that if you are not happy, others will not be able to enjoy it, the broad masses of people who have just been forced to establish personal dependencies on the condition that they have enough to eat have picked up hoes, machetes, pots and pans and gathered together to wait for orders to dig. land.

Gilgamesh had almost initially found the coverage of the power grid in the circle around Enkidu. He had only seen the structure of the power grid on a light screen before, and it was difficult to find the exact location in reality. If not for his The protective shield failed for some reason, so there was no need to make such a big move, just go through it - anyway, that's how he got into the narrow space.

He circled a piece of land, which was located in the center of the border between Strelitzia and Lily of the Valley.

"Start here, do it." He ordered concisely.

Everyone looked at each other blankly.

How to do it?Dig straight or sideways?Hollow out?How deep do you dig?How long to dig?Will the world be destroyed in less than eighty days?Just wanting to mobilize the people in the narrow space with just seven words, isn't it too high of their IQ?

The blond-haired man lowered his face in displeasure, and glanced around coldly, and everyone immediately became obedient and started to act together.

"Dig vertically! Don't you understand, what are you digging in the direction of the iris district!"

"Exercise, didn't you eat! I don't remember being harsh on your food!"

"If you dare to be lazy, die to me, I will not leave waste."

"Move your hands and feet together, it's only 1 meters, this distance can't be done, it's so spineless!"

The crowd dared not to speak out.

The blond tyrant pointed fingers at the hard-working people digging holes as if he was patrolling his territory, and he was still a little dissatisfied with the heated atmosphere.

"Why are there only such a few people, where are the other bastards?"

Emiya arranged shifts for the organization. After all, besides digging the ground, they also shouldered the heavy responsibility of rebellion, so some people had to stay at the base to arrange daily affairs.Among the people Kierz stayed here to dig the pit with was a white-haired young man named Karna.

Enkidu recognized his face.

Karna, the hero of charity, is very famous in Zaza, as long as someone asks him for help, he will definitely respond.I heard that he seems to be a citizen of Tianji. Since his parents gave him the right to vote as an adult, in the first three rounds of his life, he has moved himself from Tianji to Xiaojian, which is the same style as Nightingale next door.

Of course, with the behavior style of the people in Zazama who never ask others for help, the title of "Hero of Charity" is more derived from his voluntary donation. The place where the crowds gathered was not so strange, and many people got along with him quite well.

Karna who heard Gilgamesh's question put down his shovel, raised his face and said to him expressionlessly: "Why is your order not obeyed by everyone? Don't you know the reason? Even the gods have disobedient believers, Let alone you."

As soon as the words fell, Enkidu keenly felt that Gilgamesh's mood dropped instantly.

The white-haired youth who uttered these words calmly narrated words that were quite ordinary to him with a calm face, but the fact is that such tone and wording just conflicted with Gilgamesh's personality.

How should I put it, this charity hero has a ky that is comparable to Enkidu, but for Gilgamesh, Enkidu's ky should be taken for granted, it is the embodiment of his unreasonable and straightforward personality It is commendable; Karna's ky is ignorant of good and bad, and his self-righteous tone reveals disapproval.

This disapproval is evidence that Karna regards things other than himself as equals. Nobles and beggars are indistinguishable in his eyes, and they are both objects he can give. It’s meaningless for Gilgamesh, why not say that Karna’s behavior is just an expression of contempt for him, treating Gilgamesh as the same as other people in this world?Even those old guys from the Tianji Council dare not be so rude.

The grumpy Gilgamesh sneered.

"So? What do you think I should do? Put the words of advice later, the head or the heart. Don't you dare to say such words without paying any price?"

Karna replied in a flat tone.

"If my head will eventually fall into the dust, it's okay to give it to you. As for the advice, what you do is up to you and has nothing to do with me."

"So you're saying that even if you're decapitated now, it's your own fault? Very good, pick up your weapon, and I'll screw your head off."

"You offer food in exchange for labor, I am willing to obey, but you are the one who ordered the digging of the road, and you are the one who asked for the decisive battle. Please tell me which task to complete first."

The people who worked hard to dig the ground were sweating profusely. Enough is enough. They don’t want to listen any more. Whether it’s the white-haired young man stabbing people with every word or the blond tyrant whose air pressure is getting lower and lower, they will be the ones who will get hurt in the end. These innocent people!

Enkidu was expressionless, thinking that if there was a fight, he would just leave and walk around first. Gilgamesh didn't want to take a walk anymore, and he couldn't do his work yet.

However, at this moment, other members of Kierz came over and told Gilgamesh that there was not enough food reserves, and the latter stopped him with murderous eyes.

·

"Four houses are filled with food, and you tell me that the reserves are not enough?" Gilgamesh sat in Kierz's shabby house with his feet up and down, "At the same time, the people who came to dig the ground today There are less than 50 people, and you are so poor that you only have so much labor? I warn you in advance, as long as you can get a hoe and a shovel, even the elderly and children will have to work for me."

Emiya took a deep breath at this unprofessional and ungrounded boss, and told herself to be patient.

There are 10 people living in the Kierz area, and there are currently about 50 digging personnel in rotation. According to the size of the area that needs to be dug out according to Gilgamesh, there is no need to mobilize the entire Kierz, the pit is only that big , Too many people and overcrowding will get in the way. To employ so many people, all the food now is only enough for forty days.

Initially, according to Gilgamesh's tone, Childs always thought that digging the ground was a big project that could only be accomplished by tens of thousands of people, but in practice, it took up to 50 people.Gilgamesh was able to give a solemn order for a trivial matter in a grand tone. If you follow his train of thought, you will often feel that there will be a big scene soon. What you say and do is full of deep meaning. It's not difficult, in the end he will despise the guys who misinterpret his original intention without authorization, thinking that they think too much.

Not to mention being in a high position to raise one’s energy, no matter who it is (forced to) stay with Gilgamesh for more than a week, his ability to raise one’s energy will definitely surpass the world.

Emiya's central idea can be summed up in one sentence, no money and no food, if you have to trouble the uncle to rob again, the more family gangs that will be affected, the better.

The spirit of narrow characteristicism: I will be fine if others are not good, I will come here, in short, eat first before talking.

Gilgamesh expressed displeasure: "Do you want to bother me with such a trivial matter? It's really useless, whoever will go - yes, isn't that Karna man suitable for doing chores - Hear my name gang They will all be more than happy to offer their tribute."

Emiya stuttered.

"...Have you met Karna?"

Gilgamesh snorted.

Emiya understood and felt sorry for her.Originally, when Karna went to the wooden pen area to snatch the bracelet, he deliberately hid Enkidu from the unknown enemy. He thought that organizing a big secret weapon could not be exposed like this. Karna, who was going to work for the boss after the boss's meal, went to dig a hole so honestly, and the two people who wanted to hide the most ran into each other... Well, as long as Karna is organizing for a day, it is impossible to completely avoid it. It's good for the two of them to leave now.

"And," he heard Gilgamesh add, "didn't you just say that it only takes a few dozen men to dig a road, and forty days are more than enough. Starving to death, could it be that they are trying to threaten me with their own lives?"

Emiya understood what he meant. Among the 17 residents involved in Kierz, Gilgamesh was only willing to support those who were used by him.

Regardless of Emiya's ugly face, the blond tyrant sneered and swaggered out the door.

He intends to have some fun, but the entertainment in the narrow space is not so much rare as it is non-existent. It is impossible to satisfy the spiritual needs without enough food. Of course, do the people in the narrow space need to satisfy the spiritual needs of Gilgamesh? He didn't care at all, he just felt that life was boring.

According to his style when he was in Tianji, whenever he showed a little bit of displeasure, even if it was just the corners of his lips twitching once, someone would immediately offer him treasures, and the open city that never sleeps would ask for anything he wanted.Occasionally, when I am in a good mood, I will do some charity. I will go to the school to award the planet's top student of the year, pardon the annual tax of the planet I own, and see the slaves who are dying and buy them and throw them in the narrow room...

But there are only two kinds of entertainment in the narrow space, walking and fighting. Just walking is a disappointment. Gilgamesh didn't want to disappoint any more. He wandered inside Childs without interest, and found that everyone was busy. It's just running around to repair illegal buildings-the house is so dilapidated that there is no need to repair it?

Rather, Gilgamesh was amazed at the vitality of the people in the narrow space. The world was about to be destroyed. Except for the quarrel at the beginning, everyone seemed to accept it quickly, and lived as they wanted, which made him nostalgic. ——Right now Bian Yue must be living in a noisy and disintegrated state. Maybe it was a mistake to go to Zazama when he thought that Zazama would be more interesting than Bianyu.

When he was about to go out and find any family to have fun with, he saw Enkidu walking by, grabbing his long hair.

"Hey, where are you going?" He asked bluntly.

Enkidu was ripped off, and Gilgamesh was not very strong, like a little mischievous boy... This analogy seems inappropriate.

"Walk around here." He said, without pulling his hair out of Gilgamesh's hands, he turned half of his body with his strength and stood upright again.

The long hair was cold and soft to the touch, as if it would slip out of his palm, and Gilgamesh unconsciously clenched it even tighter.

"Task? Or the next step? It can't be you who want to take a walk."

Not hearing the denial, he raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and decided to follow Enkidu to see what he was going to do.

The sun was still white, falling on Enkidu's hair like crushed snow, thin and light, he seemed to be wandering aimlessly, passing through Childs, first walking towards Strelitzia's Central Street, Dragging one foot, I walked slowly through the entire long street, and then turned to the adjacent Lily of the Valley district.Along the way, people looked at him dodgingly, avoiding his way.

Enkidu's walk is not a walk, but a walk.People usually look at the scenery while walking, stop to chat, occasionally rest their feet to enjoy the shade, laugh and curse.But his expression was flat, he didn't talk to people, and he didn't look at people. He just walked past them, got some gossip, and let people know that he was still alive.

At night, they walked through the whole area of ​​Strelitzia and Lily of the Valley, and finally stopped in the wilderness.

There are a total of 72 hectares in the narrow area, which are divided into six evenly. Strelitzia japonica occupies one of them, but not every inch of land is full of people. People always move closer to the central area, and those who wander in the wilderness are often old and weak. Soon they will die of hunger and cold, and over time, the wilderness becomes the last place for suicides.

Gilgamesh was dissatisfied, and walked for a long time, thinking that Enki had just taken on a new job to assassinate, and wanted to see his appearance with blood on his cheeks, but he still went for a walk.

Enkidu stopped at this moment, and asked as he tilted his head slightly thinking about something.

"Would you like to see the bones?"

"What?" Gilgamesh suspected that he had heard wrong.

"bone."

Gilgamesh looked straight at Enkidu, whose expression was flat, not like a slip of the tongue or a joke.

Are you serious?He complained, going to see the bones in the middle of the night?There is still a lack of bones in the narrow space?Could it be that the specimens seen by the management before were not all destroyed at that time, leaving some defective products?What's so good about that kind of thing, no matter the aesthetics or the cost, it's useless, so I made a special trip to see that kind of thing?waste time.

He snorted, begrudgingly.

"lead the way."

They walked along the path under the moonlight, with insects serenading both sides, and they came to a clearing.

A white bone stood on the ground, it was astonishingly huge. From a distance, it looked like a long arched bridge. People standing under it would even be completely blocked by the hanging shadow. It was about too long when it fell here. After a long time, the bone surface was eroded to have tiny holes, and the wind made a "woo-woo" sound.

Most of the bones were buried in the ground, Enkidu stepped forward and leaned on the bones casually.

Gilgamesh looked at the shabby place.

"right here?"

"Ah."

"This is it?"

"Ah."

The air became quiet, no one spoke for a long time, Enkidu belatedly looked at Gilgamesh's face.

"Don't you like it?" he asked suspiciously.

"What's there to like about a whole bone of a screaming beast?"

"What is the Mourning Beast?"

"A large carnivorous creature from planet α-14, with a lifespan of 120 to 150 years, and a volume of about [-] tons," Gilgamesh said, relying on his identity and unwilling to sit on the soil. Howling, so it was named the Wailing Beast. Isn’t there a power grid in the narrow space, how could its bones appear?”

Enkidu shook his head.

"Before the narrow room became the narrow room, it seemed to exist here. I can't tell what kind of creature it is, and I asked people, and they didn't know."

"How could anyone in the narrow space know that the bones of the Wailing Beast can be preserved for more than 400 years, and Tianji uses their teeth and ribs to make bone products for sale. There are not many Wailing Beasts in the entire galaxy." He flicked it lightly. Thin leaves growing from bone crevices, "their bones are equivalent to gold on some planets, and the number is very small."

200 years ago, a gigantic monster with its wings covering the sun and the sky crashed down on a strange planet, and ended its life quietly.

"You just want me to watch this?"

"Yes."

Gilgamesh waited for his explanation, but Enkidu stopped looking at him after he finished speaking, and just sat quietly.

Gilgamesh frowned, and wanted to get angry, but he couldn't say harsh words to his thin back under the moonlight.

"How long are you going to be here?"

"Do you want to go back?" Enkidu asked, his face was fair and flawless, always a little pale in the moonlight, not like a real person.

"In ordinary times, bones and wasteland are not worth my eyes."

"But you didn't leave."

Gilgamesh choked.

"Sit down, please," said Enkidu, "beside me, and look up in this direction, where butterflies dance on the moon."

Why should I listen to you?Gilgamesh thought, and then he took off his coat and threw it on the muddy floor as a cushion, and sat down with a bad face.

The holes on the white bones are distributed irregularly, some are small black eyes, and some are weathered through. Looking from bottom to top, those holes are reflected on the moon surface like butterflies flying in series.

At first he was very uncomfortable, the mud was too hard, ants crawled over his jacket, the bones on his back were too high and cold, the night dew was heavy, and his trousers were wet. It was too quiet for a while, only the sound of Enkidu's breathing, in short, everything here could not satisfy him.

"What do you want to do?" He was a little impatient.

Enkidu tilted his head, and half of his expressionless face was turned towards him, making Gilgamesh look dazed for no reason.

"What do you mean?"

"All."

Enkidu thought for a while, and said slowly.

"If it's an afternoon operation, I'm telling Shammut where I am so she can find me."

Gilgamesh felt a sudden displeasure, but decided to ignore it.

"Can she know?"

"I'm still alive, so someone will send her to me." He said calmly, "If someone is going to do bad things to her, they don't dare now."

Gilgamesh was coldly silent, not interested in the woman who had nothing to remember but her face.

"If you mean why I brought you to see the bones," Enkidu said, in a low voice, with confusion that he didn't realize, "because I like it here, and I hope you can come to see it too—my first Did I do it wrong once?"

Gilgamesh snorted.

At this moment, the emotionless weapon showed a hint of humanity, with his head slightly lowered, his long hair falling down his shoulders, and his gaze focused on Gilgamesh until his pupils could only accommodate him alone.

It was as if there were only the two of them on the entire planet at the moment.

For a moment, Gilgamesh felt that the world was at peace.

"Ha...ha," he laughed hastily, calmed down, and tried his best to say, "Although you are not humane, and your brain is not clear...but you know that you have to apologize for your previous recklessness and offer a gift...Barely count You have eyesight."

That's right, it is understandable that a guy who only knows how to kill people has problems with emotional expression. Enkidu's previous actions have been explained. Enkidu has no malice or murderous intent towards others at all, let alone Gilgamesh, no one will not worship him, heh, this guy's longing for himself is a clear math problem, even The answer was clearly laid out without an answer.

The scenery was monotonous and boring, so pale that no words were needed to describe it, but this was the first time Enkidu had shared his preferences with others since he was born.

Like a lamb offering its body to God.

"... poor, too poor, this is the first time I have seen such a trivial and cheap apology."

"...What?" Enki didn't understand.

Gilgamesh ignored him, this set of logic was self-consistent and reasonable, and he had already convinced himself.

"Well... the previous offenses of course can't stop here - but, just for one night, I will forgive you."

Under the dim moonlight and starlight, they began to chat.

Most of the time, Gilgamesh is complaining, he always has so many complaints and dissatisfaction, the human world is useless to him, he said that Tianji has already prepared an interstellar voyage ship, and after the voting is over, it will sail to another planet, where Larger than planet 143, the green area has little coverage, which is suitable for building a steel jungle.I used to fight with other noble children when I was studying (he beat people unilaterally), because no one dared to resist, I quickly felt that I gave up.The imported handsome god crab tastes good, and he went out from the narrow space to buy that planet...

"Wait," Enkidu interrupted him, "what crab?"

"Handsome god crab," Gilgamesh rolled his eyes, "the pattern on the back of this crab is very similar to the face of a local god, and when it gets up, it's majestic and handsome, so it's called the handsome god crab—don't laugh."

Enkidu also talked about his own, private affairs.

His tone was always flat, and no matter how thrilling things were, he said them without ups and downs.After the Randall family collapsed, few people provoked him; the flowers of Ida’s house were sold cheaper than those in other districts, because he lived upstairs, and others dared not approach them, preferring to buy them in the neighboring districts; He always likes to make clothes for him, sometimes Enkidu perches on her lap and her long hair is stroked by her, he has the illusion of being licked by a cat...

Gilgamesh thinks cats are smarter than he is.

Enkidu said that he once went to a notorious family. After finishing work, he heard a lot of breathing in the basement. He went down and saw many abused children and old people. After they were released, most of them did not wait for the doctor. died, and the remaining people squandered the wealth of that family, and held an extremely grand banquet for the residents of the entire street to have fun.

"After that, when I received family missions, everyone would hold a banquet," Enkidu said. "The first time it was in the kale area, it was too noisy. I remember that the manager of No. 305 was very unhappy, and everyone held a banquet." The managers of the districts are very unhappy."

"Then?" Gilgamesh asked curiously.

Enkidu raised his feet and changed his posture.

"They were drinking, punching, dancing, there were a lot of people, it was really loud, and then there was screaming, and the automatic beam machine kept shooting, and a child bumped into me, and the sugar was on me, and he grabbed my clothes and kept going. Shaking, as if I forgot to escape.” He slowly recalled, “I don’t like noisy environments, so I carried the child to the wine box next to me to clean up the beam machines, not many, only four .The manager seemed pissed and said on the radio that he was going to kill me, so I went to Kale's management and told him to do it if he could."

Gilgamesh laughed out loud.

"The manager of No. 305 was not very happy to see me. He kept retreating and did not speak for a long time. I told him that I hope he would not disturb the banquet. I was on the roof of the management office and waited for him to dawn. If you still don't kill me, I will leave."

"You just wait there until dawn? Alone?" Gilgamesh asked.

"Yes," he nodded, "The management office of the kale district is on a higher ground, from where you can see the flames of the banquet, which are very small, like stars, and very many."

Gilgamesh could almost imagine such a situation, the long-haired young man was sitting quietly like this at this moment, looking at the fire like stars in the distance by himself.

"You don't like banquets?" Gilgamesh could not imagine Enkidu participating in any gathering of more than five people.

"There were so many people, they all avoided me, and occasionally someone would attack me with bread or sugar."

"...bread and sugar?"

"Suddenly rushed in front of me, threw candy at me, turned around and ran... It should be an attack. Anyway, I hardly participate in such occasions."

"Hahahahahahaha!" Gilgamesh laughed loudly, "You call it 'attack'?! Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Enkidu almost looked at Gilgamesh in astonishment, and the latter seemed to be completely amused, laughing so hard that he fell back.

He was a little at a loss, and didn't understand what was so funny about it. Gilgamesh rarely showed his emotions so relaxedly in front of him, but seeing him like this, even Enki couldn't help it, and slowly laughed .

His smile usually has a kind of casual alienation, as if it is just a calculated arc of muscle memory, without any warmth at all.

But now, his brows and eyes are bent down, and the corners of his lips are raised, as if the moonlight has shattered into his eyes.

Gilgamesh felt an itch rushing from his heart to his brain. The moonlight was too beautiful, and the smile in front of him was too beautiful. At this moment, it seemed that even the never-ending anger and indifference hidden deep in his bones disappeared. .

He felt a pure joy.

Warm, soft as soaking in warm water.

If at this time Enkidu asked Gilgamesh to forgive his previous sin of disrespect and let it go, Gilgamesh would probably readily agree. Under the moonlight, seeing the faint smile on his lips, Gilgamesh Gamesh's heart seemed to be being gently stroked. At the same time, he felt his throat tightened, his stomach burned, his breathing became hot, and he suddenly rose up—a sense of hunger and thirst.

Wanted to be close to him, to touch his arms, his lips, his bright eyes.

The hunger was only for a moment, and soon, a warm, pure joy overwhelmingly occupied his chest. He had never felt that the world was so pleasant, just in this moment, in the unknown two people in a confined space.

He quickly regained his sanity, and immediately extracted thoughts worthy of his identity from a mess of thoughts.

Enki has its redeeming qualities.

Just like evaluating red wine, beauties and precious stones countless times, he defined Enkidu a lot, let alone that face. In contrast, his heart is the truly flawless treasure. Tianji will definitely be able to sell at a good price.

Just like water condenses into ice, it is short-lived, and there is only a moment of extreme beauty.

... As for the extremely superficial itching in Gilgamesh's heart, it's not something worth caring about, just let it go and let it go.
