Doomsday Proud Blood[Sword Three]

Blood dripped from the tip of the knife, making an inaudible "tick" sound.

The corpse of "Lu Youyuan" stared at Qin Lou firmly, opened his mouth slightly, and kept calling Qin Lou's name until his death.

Qin Lou lowered his eyes and looked cold. He wiped the blood-stained knife on his arm before sheathing it.

The tip of the knife hit the scabbard, and the sound of metal was infinitely amplified by the silent corridor.Qin Lou was slightly taken aback, he took a deep breath, and stabilized his trembling hands.

"How did you recognize me?" The corpse lying on the ground suddenly said.Half of his face was covered in blood, and his slightly long hair was spread out, blocking his eyes.Only the whites of the eyes peeked out from some gaps.

Qin Lou put the knife back into its sheath: "You have too many flaws." He didn't want to say more, and he was about to leave. "Lu Youyuan" chuckled a few times, and called him hoarsely: "Brother, you went wrong..."

Qin Lou didn't look back.

The corpse let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

The corridor was dark and quiet, and Qin Lou walked forward slowly holding the already dim solar lights.His ability has not recovered much, and although the effect of the painkiller is still there, he is still very tired.

He used his scabbard to draw a mark at the corner, and before he went far, he was blocked by a carved wall.The patterns carved on it, like all carved patterns, have been blurred by time.Qin Lou took a serious look, then turned and walked back.

There was still the sound of liquid dripping in the corridor, but the corpse pretending to be Lu Youyuan was nowhere to be seen.

Qin Lou's eyes froze, and he took a few steps forward. The mark he made on the wall was still there, but the corpse had indeed disappeared.Not only the corpses, but even the blood sprayed on the wall disappeared.He touched the floor with his hands, and the dust on the ground was dry, without the feeling of being penetrated.

"Did it change to a long corridor, or..." Qin Lou slowly stood up straight, and carefully drew another mark on the wall.

Among the intermittent murals and deposited dust on the wall, no faults can be seen.Even the handprints of him holding the wall along the way are still there.The possibility of changing a corridor is really slim.

"Is it interference from spiritual powers?" Qin Lou thought for a while about the feeling of killing people, and then denied the guess.He thought for a while, turned off the solar light, and drew out a special pistol.

The few abilities are concentrated in the eyes, and only the dim outlines of buildings can be seen in the extreme darkness.Qin Lou moved forward again.

Turning one corner after another, the ticking gradually increased.A faint light appeared at the end of the corridor.

The sound of water droplets disappeared at some point, and was replaced by a "buzzing" sound similar to that of a bee.

Qin Lou leaned on the wall and cautiously approached the glimmer of light.It wasn't until he walked in that he realized that at the end of the corridor was an unusually wide hall.

He looked left and right, and there was no end to the hall.Under the long stairs is an altar as tall as one person.On the altar, there is that light source.

It was a huge straight boulder, shaped like an irregular prism, with many damages on its body.One pointed corner of the rhombus floats above the altar, while the other corner is inserted straight into the roof of the hall. At a glance, only a faint red light can be seen on the top.

Qin Lou whispered in surprise: "The heart of the mountain?"

"Who!?" The angry shout echoed in the hall, and it seemed very familiar.

"Yuanyuan?" Qin Lou called out in a very low voice.

As soon as the words fell, a figure quickly walked around behind the boulder.The figure rushed towards him in the darkness: "Brother! Are you okay!?"

The room instantly lit up with a soft light.Qin Lou squinted his eyes unconsciously, and Lu Youyuan had already rushed in front of him.Qin Lou reached out to hug him, but saw Lu Youyuan slam on the brakes. After standing still in front of him, he looked like he wanted to touch him but didn't dare to touch him: "Brother, how do you feel now? Does your body still hurt? ? Are you injured..."

While speaking, he hurriedly took things from the space.

Qin Lou felt relieved suddenly: "I'm fine, why are you here?"

Lu Youyuan looked behind him and explained to Qin Lou concisely.Qin Lou listened quietly, until he heard Lu Youyuan say that he saw a strange creature here, his expression changed.

"Yuanyuan, what did you see here?"

"I think it should be a certain kind of energy body..." Lu Youyuan pondered, "The energy body that is biased towards the spiritual system can have many shapes. Can you see it?"

Qin Lou shook his head, and he pointed forward: "Can you see it?"

Lu Youyuan followed his hand and looked over, only saw the high platform shaped like a coffin, and sitting on the high platform, tilting his head to look at his other "self".

When Lu Youyuan first saw this face, he was indeed startled, but he quickly calmed down.The unknown energy body in front of him can read his memory, so he must know what he once looked like.

After all, he can even change Li Chengen, so what else can't be changed?

At this time, the spiritual body with Lu Youyuan's face on his back was sitting on the altar with one leg bent and his knees hugged. He bent down, resting his cheek on his knee, and the other foot was hanging under the altar, dangling around doing nothing. .Seeing Qin Lou pointing, he tilted his head and smiled.

Lu Youyuan was a little hesitant: "What...is there? Brother, what did you see?"

Qin Lou whispered: "I see a piece of the heart of the mountain."

Lu Youyuan was shocked: "I only saw the energy body... nothing else." After Lu Youyuan finished speaking, he thought for a while, took out a crystal nucleus from the package, and threw it directly beside the energy body past.

The crystal nucleus drew a parabola in midair, and after approaching the energy body, it turned a corner in midair and fell straight into the hands of the energy body.The energy body sat up straight, clapped his hands, and opened his mouth and said, "This is better than nothing, do you have more?"

"Brother, did you see it?"

"I saw the heart of the mountain absorbed that crystal nucleus."

"..." Lu Youyuan looked at his other self, "Are you the heart of the mountain?"

The energy body didn't answer, just asked him: "Have you considered it?"

"If you use it to deceive people, what should you consider?" Lu Youyuan said bluntly, "Even if I answer that I want to go back, are you really capable of sending me back?"

"Huh?" The energy body stood up, "This is just your speculation."

Qin Lou glanced at him, but didn't ask what "going back" meant.

Lu Youyuan smiled: "Is it speculated that you are clear in your heart. You said that I am a part of you, so do you have the ability to cut yourself? Can you go back to the big world in your mouth? You can't even go back, Did you say you could take me back?"

The energy body opened its mouth, but couldn't say what it wanted to say.Can only stand on the altar and turn around unconsciously.After turning around a few times, he said again: "Aren't you afraid that Brother Lou will hear your thoughts when you talk like this? Don't you like him very much?"

"You don't need to change the subject, and you don't need to provoke. Anyway, what you say is bullshit in my eyes." Lu Youyuan snorted, "How about telling me everything you know?"

"You talk to me like this, I'm very angry." The energy body stopped and said to Lu Youyuan expressionlessly.

Lu Youyuan blinked: "I doubt you understand the emotion of anger."

"I didn't understand it before, but I understand it now." The energy body raised his chin, "I learned it from Brother Lou! I know everything about you!"

Brother Hualou yelled very smoothly... Lu Youyuan couldn't help but glance at Qin Lou. Qin Lou confirmed his gaze and sent a question mark.

Lu Youyuan thought for a while, then pointed to his head.Qin Lou understood, opened the barrier of the spiritual system, and asked him directly in his brain: "What's wrong?"

"Have you ever been angry before?"

"Before I met a person pretending to be you, I killed him. I was a little angry." Qin Lou said simply.He didn't say any more about his emotions, nor did he mention the trembling of his hands after the murder. He just said: "I returned to the original place later, and the body disappeared. I thought there was a mechanism or something else. Now think about it... it was the energy body in the body. Make trouble?"

Lu Youyuan deliberated for a while before organizing his words: "I suspect that he is relying on contact with us to learn."

"What to learn?"

"Language, emotion, way of speaking... etc? He gave me a strange feeling, like a child." Lu Youyuan was not sure, "He can read my memory, and he can also become You... at least in my eyes he has become you."

Qin Lou nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

The hall fell silent for a while, and the energy body stood on the altar, staring at these two people intently.

He was the one who brought Lu Youyuan from the big world, and he was very familiar with it.But Qin Lou was his first official meeting.Although Lu Youyuan has seen many facets of this person from Lu Youyuan's memory, it still feels very strange to meet him now.

This feeling is very subtle, just like when he opened his eyes for the first time and looked at this dilapidated world.Theoretically speaking, the life forms born in this world are incomplete compared with the big world.But Qin Lou was a complete living body in his eyes.

He looked at the two people who didn't speak, and wanted to open the mental barrier, but he hesitated for a long time but took it back.He was suddenly a little unsure whether his way of looking at Qin Lou was affected by Lu Youyuan.

The so-called Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, isn't Qin Lou the Xi Shi of Lu Youyuan?

"Although I don't know who Shih Tzu is..." The energy body muttered unhappily, "Hey, why don't you talk?"

"Why are you talking?" Lu Youyuan asked back, "You refuse to tell the truth."

"Don't think I can't hear you whispering!" The energy body said loudly, "I just don't want to listen!"

"It's really like a child." Lu Youyuan said quietly.

Qin Lou pondered for a moment, and said, "Ask him, what is the truth about this catastrophe."

***

They had seen many Hearts of the Mountain along the way.The big one is a three-meter-high rock in a line of sky, peeling off the heart of the mountain the size of a palm.The only one that is small is the heart of the mountain that fell out of the zombie in Anningzhuang, which is the same as the crystal nucleus.

But this one is indeed the biggest one.

This hall was so high that it could not see the end, and the heart of the mountain stood in it, and even the light at the top seemed faint.

Ever since Lu Youyuan uttered the word "go home", Qin Lou had an intuition that he could get the secret about the entire catastrophe in one fell swoop.

Even if the confusion can't be answered, he is not at a loss knowing that there is such a large piece of heart of the mountain in the ancient city under the sea.

Before they set off, Yujing's road clearing plan had been proceeding in an orderly manner.Taking advantage of the severe cold and freezing, zombies, mutated animals and plants could not shrink out. After the main road was opened up, many resources could be exchanged.In addition, the technology of growing vegetables with crystal nuclei is also developing well.

Even if the world goes on like this forever, human beings can fight their way out of it.With such a huge heart of the mountain, this road of hard work will be easier.

But the question was asked, but the reaction of the energy body was very strange.

"The truth? What's the truth? This world is what it is." The energy body said.

"It's like this? What do you mean?" Lu Youyuan hurriedly asked, "Can you let Brother Lou hear you?"

The energy body refused: "No! I don't want to talk to him!"

"Because he killed you?"

"Yes! Uh... no!"

Lu Youyuan nodded clearly: "Brother, he was the one who pretended to be me before."

The energy body squatted aside and sulked.Lu Youyuan looked at his face doing these things, and felt something was wrong all over his body.After he took out a chair from the space and asked Qin Lou to sit down, he struggled for a long time, and moved to the energy body by himself: "It's wrong for you to pretend to be me, are you still angry?"

"Why can't you be angry? He killed you, why aren't you angry?"

"He killed an impostor who pretended to be me. Why should I be angry with him? Because he showed no mercy to my face?" Lu Youyuan jumped onto the altar, "You copied another me from my memory to go I should be mad at you for lying to him. I'm glad he knows who I am."

Like a tongue twister, the energy body can't understand it.Lu Youyuan handed him a crystal nucleus: "Tell me about the catastrophe."

"I told you before!" said the energy body, "the ball exploded, and the little piece that exploded was originally part of the disaster."

If he wanted to explain before but couldn't explain clearly, now he deliberately doesn't want to explain.

Lu Youyuan had no choice but to repeat what he had said before in detail.Qin Lou listened very carefully, asked a few questions from time to time, and accepted this kind of unscientific description very well.

At the end he said: "Can we understand it this way, the entire universe is divided into a big world and a small world."

"Just as there are countless galaxies in the universe, just like the solar system is within the Milky Way, the big galaxies surround the small galaxies. The big world is the Milky Way, and we are the Solar System. One day, the Milky Way goes wrong, it explodes, or For some other reason, the solar system broke away from the Milky Way and became an independent small galaxy."

The energy body listened carefully, and kept nodding.

"...Then, the solar system originally only had one sun and eight planets, so no matter what changes are made from within, this cannot be changed." Qin Lou said slowly, "And the catastrophe itself belongs to our world. planet."

The energy body starts to take off stars.

"Since this is the case, what is our function in the big world?" Qin Lou asked suddenly.He stared closely at the heart of the mountain, but the energy body felt that he could already see himself!

"It's just...it's..." The energy body's eyes wandered, "...it's a delusion."

"Delusion?" Lu Youyuan was a little surprised, "Fiction world?"

"I told you that it was wrong!" The energy body looked at him with hatred, "Even if it is in your place, the solar system is not fake!"

Lu Youyuan nodded at him helplessly: "Tell me in detail."

"It is the way of heaven in the big world that gives birth to consciousness. The way of heaven cannot be conscious, it can only have rules. From the moment consciousness is generated, the way of heaven is in turmoil." The energy body said very slowly, "it's like... just Like your AI, it can only do things according to the program plan, and one day the AI ​​​​goes out of control and will cry and laugh by itself, and you will be very scared, right? That’s the situation.”

"It created turmoil, and a lot of things were thrown out, and a new broken... world was formed. This world is made up of all the doomsday delusions of the big world. It is not a novel or a game. every thought I've ever had."

"I am also a part of the way of heaven, and I have my own rules of operation. I am separated, even if it is incomplete, it will evolve this world into an independent small world." He nodded continuously as he spoke, Qin Lou's description It even gave him a new idea, "That's right, I just attracted countless celestial particles and turned them into a star again!"

Lu Youyuan automatically ignored his last words, and began to communicate with Qin Lou in a low voice.After hearing this, Qin Lou asked again: "In that case, will the catastrophe end?"

As soon as he said this, the energy body shrank its neck.Qin Lou also walked to Lu Youyuan's side, and tapped his finger on the altar: "Since it is a world of doomsday fantasy, there are probably countless possibilities of doomsday in this world. Will it still become normal?"

The energy body looked up at him, then quickly looked away: "If you are willing to work hard, it is... possible."

"What does it mean to be willing to work hard?" Lu Youyuan asked, "Since you said that we have merged with each other, I hope you will be honest with me."

"You don't have this kind of attitude towards Qin Lou! If you do this again, I'll be really angry!" The energy body said, "I'm very honest, you are stupid so you don't understand."

He moaned and groaned alone for a long time, no one comforted him at all, when the mental barrier was opened, he heard Lu Youyuan and Qin Lou whispering.It's really embarrassing.

"If you have read my memory completely, you should know that our family has never been used to children." Lu Youyuan reached out to pat him, but his hand directly passed through the body of the energy body, bringing up a piece of silver. starlight.

The light of the heart of the mountain flickered, and a pure white starlight burst out at the place Lu Youyuan touched.Qin Lou looked at the scene and nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right, I'm still young. Many things are not perfect, and when I was thrown out, some things were lost." He didn't block Qin Lou this time, and murmured directly in his mind, "If I It is a complete me, and of course it can slowly evolve into a normal future, just like the big world."

"But I'm not perfect. If the sun in the solar system explodes, the other planets will not be able to revolve around it properly. If I can't find those things, you will only be reincarnated in the doomsday forever. This is what this is about." The roots of the world."

"The things you lost, do you mean those lost Mountain Hearts?" Qin Lou asked.

In front of this huge heart of the mountain, which only he can see, Qin Lou noticed the potholes all over the surface of the stone at the very beginning.

Small places are only the size of a fist, but large places have gaps that are several meters wide.

The energy body glanced at him quickly, "If you want to understand this way, that's fine."

Qin Lou sighed.From the beginning of knowing Zhanji, all kinds of questions about the heart of the mountain have been engraved in his mind.All of them couldn't figure out why a person who fused with a stone would have the power to control a mountain range.This is simply similar to the legendary mountain god.

But if that stone is related to the origin of the world, everything will not be so strange.

"Then...why did Yuan Yuan appear here?" Qin Lou asked this question softly.

Lu Youyuan's body stiffened involuntarily, and then he felt the warmth from the palm of his hand.Qin Lou didn't know when he took off his diving gloves.He slowly but firmly inserted his fingers into Lu Youyuan's.

The two interlocked their fingers.

The energy body looked at Lu Youyuan, then at Qin Lou, but did not speak.He has seen Lu Youyuan's memory, and knows that Lu Youyuan has never told anyone this secret.Qin Lou was probably lying to him.

"Let me think about it, you said that you are the part that was thrown out. Using the analogy of a planet, you are not a planet. You are conscious and a part of the original heaven. You must have tried to go back, right?" Qin Lou said methodically, " You went back and couldn't integrate. You just wanted to develop into a separate world, so you stole Yuanyuan from the original big world?"

"It's not called stealing, it's an accident!" The energy body couldn't help retorting.

Qin Lou raised his eyebrows: "So you used to go home to deceive Yuanyuan before, and you couldn't go back yourself, so how did you send someone back? Because of your mistake, you brought a person who doesn't belong to this world here, Have you considered the consequences?"

"What... what consequences?"

"Have you made spiritual compensation for the mental injury of a family and a person? Has the family expressed financially after losing their son? Have you considered everything about pensions? And the trauma of losing a son Love, the painstaking efforts spent over the past few decades... Oh, you are an incomplete way of heaven, you don't understand at all."

Lu Youyuan looked at Qin Lou in surprise, Qin Lou squeezed his hand lightly, and said with a final word: "You should compensate the person involved."

The energy body... the energy body has withered: "I am a complete heaven...QAQ"

"Then it is your duty to make this world into a big world."

Although it is impossible to understand what kind of existence "Tian Dao" is, but if you can lie, let's talk about it.

The energy body slowly shrinks into a ball.It gave up the appearance of Lu Youyuan and became a white ball again.Even the voice became the voice of a child: "I...I tried my best to make it up to him, didn't you really realize that?"

"What did you find?" Lu Youyuan asked.

"The cities you are familiar with and the legends that compare with the stars are all made by me according to your memory."
