"How do you think this wasteland was formed?" Lin Lai asked.

"I don't know." Mo Gui replied.

"Guess!" Lin Lai said with a smile.

Mo Gui said: "I never make random guesses about things I'm not sure about."

"Okay." Linlai shrugged, jumped out of the car, looked at the time on the watch, and took out the instrument to correct the azimuth through the sun, and said, "I heard people say in the town that in folklore stories, this area The wasteland should be called the 'Land Abandoned by the Gods'! Because it was disgusted and abandoned by the gods, no life can be bred here."

Mogui inserted his fingers into the sand, and when he pulled it out, he was already pinching a small dark red beetle with his fingertips.

"Then what is this?" he said.

Lin Lai glanced at it and said, "The story also says that only 'evil things' who are also loathed and abandoned by the gods can survive in this wasteland."

"Well, the logic is pretty tight." Mo Gui said casually, "However, I don't believe there is any god in this world."

As he spoke, he twisted his fingers, feeling a little puzzled.

When he just grabbed the bug out of the sand, he suddenly felt something strange.It's not a bad feeling, it's just...

Very strange.

――What is it?

Mo Gui asked back in his heart, trying his best to catch that strange inspiration.

"Heh." Lin Lai laughed. He is also an atheist who has been educated in science, but...

"You said, if there is a God, what would God be like?"

Mo Gui frowned and took a look, and found that he was actually asking the question seriously.

So he let go of the doubts just now, thought for a while, and then said: "Omniscient and omnipotent, immortal, invincible, without selfish desires, neither drinking nor eating, clean and clean, can create life... something like that?"

He said more than twenty points in a row.

There was a smile on Lin Lai's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

He said: "Then you say... a person with such abilities—or a person with only a part of them—could be called a god?"

Mo Gui said without thinking: "This kind of question is meaningless, because that kind of person does not exist."

Lin Lai was silent.

After a long time, he said: "Did you know? Our family first started from the wasteland."

He pointed to the direction of the sun and said, "I heard that it is in that direction, on the wasteland, there is a small village, they came out from there, and the ancestors of the Ka family led them."

"My ancestors were also married to the royal family."

"Oh." Mo Gui's reaction was very light.

Because the Ka's royal family is flourishing, each generation has more births and more breeding, and there are even many mixed races.

The number of descendants is too many to count, and what is so great about the family they marry.

Lin Lai smiled wryly. He didn't say how prominent his ancestors were and married the most favored princess at that time, but he just turned back to the topic he really wanted to talk about.

"On the wasteland, a real god once descended."

"It's a saying that's been passed down in our family for generations."

Linley said.

Mo Gui frowned, and his tone was somewhat doubtful: "The real...God?"

"Yes."

Lin Lai sighed and said, "It's just like what you said - no dust or dirt, no food or drink, omniscient and omnipotent, will not age with time, so powerful that it cannot be matched... It is said that the wilderness is the power of his blow caused."

"This...how is this possible?"

Mo Gui really wanted to ask Lin Lai if this was a fairy tale his family told him when he was a child to sleep.

Lin Lai added: "Moreover, it is said that it is the Lord God who leads mankind out of the wilderness, defeats alien races, and prevents mankind from being enslaved by alien races."

"But... humans betrayed him."

"The gods have returned to the God Realm. From then on, there will be no more gods in the world."

"More importantly, Kashi is not the descendant of the gods, the son of the gods as they claim."

"Their real identity is—"

"Traitor!"

"It's ridiculous!" After a long time, Mo Gui said dryly, "I don't believe it."

His expression seemed to be saying - "Speak more! Show evidence! Convince me!"

Lin Lai stood beside the car calmly, as if the shocking words just now were not from him.

As the sun set, his eyes reflected the few stars in the sky.

"Actually, I have a guess now."

After a while, Lin Lai said, "Maybe... that's not a god... but an alien?!"

............................................................

Mogui and Linlai are members of an unnamed team affiliated to a certain security department in the Tulip Kingdom.They are people with special abilities who have been recruited by some big shot, have criminal records.

The names of the two are not in any official personnel directory, and their contributions will not be recognized or rewarded in any form, even if they are sacrificed during the mission, except for the chief and a few leaders who are directly in contact with them , and no one will know.

As members of the secret department, they do all kinds of moral or immoral things, which are often very dangerous, so they have great autonomy and impromptu decision-making power in their actions.

But at the same time, because they used to be criminals, their character is not trusted by the people above, and there are many restrictions when performing tasks, such as not allowing innocent people to be hurt at will, and not breaking laws and regulations unless they have to.

Both of them have micro-monitors implanted in their bodies, and their words, deeds and actions will be recorded. Afterwards, special personnel will analyze and evaluate them. If the evaluation results show that they still have strong criminal tendencies or take If they use extremely inappropriate means to complete the task, then they will lose their identity with neither freedom nor privacy, and they will be sent to prison, and their sentence will be extended.

In exchange, their names and faces were removed from all wanted lists, their criminal records were wiped clean, and their families were well taken care of.Even when they die on mission, the family gets a lot of money in the form of lottery wins or something.

At the same time, each of their tasks will have a difficulty and importance assessment, which can offset part of the sentence according to its degree.If the entire sentence is cancelled, a limited freedom can be obtained.

They are partners. They trust each other, rely on each other, and cooperate with each other tacitly. They have successfully completed difficult tasks many times, and they are highly evaluated by the higher authorities.

At the same time, they can keep a distance, not knowing each other's real names, not knowing each other's past, and not even knowing whether the character shown by the other party is the truest side of themselves.

But deep down, they both see each other as best friends and believe they can trust each other in any situation.

This time, the two took on a task with a very high difficulty score. If they can complete this task, even if the two cannot be "released after serving their sentence", they will not be far away from the time of freedom.

However, the only clues for this mission are a crooked hand-drawn map and some vague information left by the previous mission team.

But the two, relying on their superhuman intelligence and ability, followed the clues and found the Khoganik Wasteland.

Then, following some unobvious ruts on the wasteland, the strange phenomena that some people in the town had seen, animal hoof prints and feces, etc., they found a building hidden in the ground, and successfully mixed in.

This is a research institute located deep underground. Perhaps because they are confident in the level of secrecy and the alarm system, the defense here is not as tight as the two expected. The security personnel are obviously relatively lax when patrolling.

After going through a series of lurking, stalking, assassination, disguise, theft, torture, hacking into the system, changing identities, hypnosis, etc., the two wore blue cleaning clothes and made up as two unremarkable cleaning staff , walking in the corridor of the research institute openly and aboveboard.

For most people, the cleaner is like a green radish in the corner or a picture on the wall. He is a person who knows his existence objectively but does not pay attention to it subjectively.

There are people coming and going from the research institute in the corridor, and through the transparent glass wall, you can see that many people in each research room are working quietly and silently. Occasionally, someone will glance at them inadvertently, but there is nothing in the field of vision. It's like not reflecting their figures.

From the demeanor and conversations of those researchers, Linlai quickly judged that what these people did was only trivial work, and the real core of this place was still deep underground.

Mo Gui soon stole an identity card.

The two avoided the monitoring and took the elevator to the seventh floor underground.As soon as he went out, two tall men in black looked over at the same time, but their expressions were more casual and less vigilant.

Mo Gui rushed out!

"Crack" sounded almost simultaneously, and the two men fell limply, and Mo Gui grabbed their necks and picked them up, preventing them from falling to the ground.

Lin Lai stepped forward quickly, and found that the defense here was more stringent, and the voiceprint, fingerprints, pupils, etc., and even the weight sensor were checked.

Moreover, this floor is equipped with a large number of surveillance cameras, covering every corner. The surveillance here is not in the same system as the upper floors, and Lin Lai cannot invade. Therefore, the figures of the two may have already fallen into a certain place. in the eyes of some people.

"Not much time, let's go!"

Seeing that Mo Gui seemed to be looking for a place to hide while carrying the two corpses, Lin Lai let out a low voice, and broke through layers of obstacles while speaking.

The heavily encrypted door silently slid open to both sides after a soft "beep".

Almost as soon as the door opened a narrow gap, the two rushed in sideways!

"We only have 13 minutes at most! You cover, I need to..."

Before Lin Lai finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly!

It wasn't because he saw a lot of armed men in black and more guns. Although if these people shot together, they might be beaten into a sieve as soon as they entered the door, but now these people are all dead. on the ground.

It wasn't because he saw the man in the white coat who was sitting opposite the two of them waiting for a long time, who looked like the boss behind the scenes of the evil villain, because he looked like he was about to pee out of fear.

Not to mention the many figures floating in the light blue liquid in those huge transparent jars...

Well, still shocking.

Those naked bodies curled up in tall jars include young people, teenagers, children, babies, and two or three old people.

Some have three hands, some have one foot, some have eyes on their bellies, and some have fingers on their thighs. They are of all shapes and sizes and look weird and disgusting.

There are also a small number of them that are normal—at least they look normal on the outside, but they also give people an indescribably weird feeling.

The most shocking thing is their faces.

All bodies, no matter how monstrous they may look, have the same features.

Such eyebrows...such nose bridge...such lips...such face shape...

With the person who suddenly appeared in front of them, made all the men in black fall with a wave of his hand, and made the guy like the boss behind the scene almost piss... the similarity reached [-]-[-]%.

【Lin...Lin Qingsi...Why did he come here?No!Yes, it's that...]

Lin Lai was so shocked that he almost bit his own tongue.

"Rong Yuan!"

He couldn't help shouting, his sharp voice almost broke, it didn't sound like his own.

Shocked, Mo Gui stepped back a few steps, looked at Rong Yuan with a blank face, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

The boss behind the scene still had a look of 【Refused to accept the fact】, 【This must be a dream】, 【No, this is impossible】, 【I want to cry but I have to hold back】, 【I will die!Will die in pieces!It would be better to die than to live! ]'s complicated expression, his face was extremely distorted, and his face was as pale as paper, as if he would be scared to death in the next second.

Rong Yuan glanced at them, nodded slightly to Lin Lai and the two, then went straight to a tall jar, stretched out his hand to press on the glass, and said softly, "I heard your cry for help, and I'm here."

The man in the jar opened his eyes.
