Above the Ruins [End Times]

, Surprise quickly turned to joy.

No matter how you say it, Leng Mo is just an ordinary child, and he can't be the real Gujing Wubo. At this moment, his mood is fully expressed on his face.

The ability of the law-like system is no different from other abilities, no matter what kind of ability it is, it has its use, and the ability's display depends on the person who uses the ability.However, this is the ability of the water system.

Maybe the attack of the law-like water system is not powerful enough, but it doesn't matter, the original ability of Lengmo is to operate weapons and the spiritual sense of fighting. If something happens and needs to fight, just use the original ability and work harder.For the second civilization, for this arid world full of toxins, the importance of water is self-evident.

Leng Mo brought the water polo to his mouth, struggled for a few seconds, and licked the water polo.

The sweet and cold taste gently soothes the taste buds.

The water produced by this ability is clean and drinkable.

What a great gift this is!

Leng Mo let out a breath and looked at the system.Leng Mo lost his voice for a moment, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't afford to exchange this gift.Although reluctant, Leng Mo really felt that there was nothing in return.

With the power that can bestow abilities on people, Leng Mo looked at the system with a strange expression.Regardless of what this existence is like, fortunately for Leng Mo, they are not enemies.

After a while, Leng Mo finally recovered his voice. After thinking about it, he still shook his head: "This ability is too precious, I can't exchange it with you, I can't afford it."

"What are you talking about, didn't I say it?" The system's expression seemed to be unsurprised by Leng Mo's decision, but she bent her eyes, but her attitude was tough.

"This is a deal that you cannot refuse."

【12. Core】

"..." Leng Mo looked at the system and didn't speak for a while.In fact, even if the system didn't say so, he would still raise Erwei.

As soon as the system beckoned, the ball of light surrounding the little guy disappeared, and You Wei floated in front of Leng Mo, and landed gently in his arms.

"Leng, Mo!" The little guy immediately stretched out a pair of small hands to hug Lengmo's neck, and rubbed his little head affectionately against Lengmo's neck. The soft black lanugo rubbed against Lengmo's cheeks. The top of the little guy's hair.His eyes softened for a moment, and when he looked at the system in midair, he was obviously less defensive and more trusting.

"System... Since you know so much, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." The system nodded slightly.

Lengmo sat down holding Youwei, and calmly raised his own question.

"Do you know how to get out of here?"

This place is too weird, and it is different from the cave before Lengmo fell asleep. It is obviously much wider here. Lengmo really has no way to guarantee that he can take Youwei out, even if he has the water system. The same is true for the Dharma-like ability. In that case, there is only water to drink, but there is no food.

"Don't you want to know where this is?" The system's expression looked a little surprised, she moved closer to Lenmo, bent down to look into the other's dark eyes, "Maybe you won't see this place in the future——for the rest of your life .The reason that keeps this world going, these truths that only a few people can see."

"No. I'm more inclined to go out than to stay here. I just want to leave this place." Leng Mo refused without thinking.The reason why this ruined world is able to survive, what is the so-called truth, Ling Mo does not want to know at all.

As long as you can live and live well, who has nothing to do to investigate and watch such things?Is it too hard to dislike your own life?

"This is an opportunity for you to have the ability to reach the top. It's a pity to give up so easily." The system shook his head and compromised, "It's a pity. And I'm also a little curious, but since you insist on not If we go—"

The system's words stopped abruptly, her complexion changed drastically, her body stood straight away from the edge ink and floated in mid-air, her long hair and white skirt moved without wind, and her eyes lost focus.

"The host please seize the opportunity and go deep into the underground forest to witness the birth of the core of the world."

"Because the host is too young, the guardian of the host will perform the task on his behalf."

The system's expression became cold and hard, a few streams of electrons flashed in the sapphire blue eyes, and the voice like a clear spring also lost its ups and downs: "Compulsory missions, you must not refuse."

After the words fell, a spot of light flew out and crashed into Leng Mo's chest.

There was no time to dodge, and he watched the light spot merge into his body, but Leng Mo didn't notice any abnormality or discomfort at all.He patted You Wei in his arms comfortingly, and repeated in doubt: "Witness the birth of the core of the world?"

The task is clear to the ink, and the host can also guess it, but the words are not understood by the ink.And the appearance of the system was too weird, so Leng Mo wisely chose to ignore it.

"Yes. The host guardian, please act immediately and go to the depths of the forest."

"...what if I refuse?"

"Compulsory tasks, don't refuse." Repeated mechanically.

Leng Mo shut his mouth, did not speak, and lowered his eyes.The little guy just raised his head, a pair of jewel-like eyes stared at him for a moment, and the plum blossom imprint on the tip of his left eyebrow was dazzling red.

Leng Mo sighed silently, raised his hand to cover the little guy's eyes, softly stroked You Wei's mark with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "I see."

After Leng Mo's voice fell, the system's expression returned to normal. She pinched the hem of her skirt and smiled wryly: "I know, you must have many things you want to ask me."

"En." Leng Mo responded softly, a water polo appeared in his hand, and something like a straw protruded from the corner of the ball, holding the ball to the little guy's mouth for him to drink, "I want to know What the hell are you?"

Humanity?not like.mutant beast?Even less.

Lengmo hates this feeling, and doesn't understand anything.He subconsciously touched the place where the light spot hit, what is this thing and what kind of impact it will have on him.Lenmo doesn't know anything.This feeling sucks.Almost every time there is such a situation where I don’t know anything, the image of myself who can only tremble under the unknown and fear of this world breaks into my mind.

"Didn't I say that? I am a system, attached to the system of Youwei. Youwei's will is my driving force. I decide the task, and Youwei's will decides whether to execute it, but he is still too young now. , so you can only replace him." The system's voice was calm, but soon became bitter again.

"However, there are some things that I cannot control. For example, mandatory tasks."

Leng Mo looked at the system, his jet-black eyes stared straight at the other person's face, watching her every subtle expression.

"Don't look at me like that. Although I can do many things - you can think that I am omnipotent, but I am not really omnipotent. Don't trust me too much." The system raised his hand and wiped the hair on his cheek Si put it behind the ear, and in a flash, Leng Mo seemed to see the iron chain locking the system's white and thin wrist, and he didn't know where it led.When I looked again, it was gone.

"Just like this place, every inch of land and every tree contains bone-eroding poisons. I have no way to remove these poisons. But if Ruwei is poisoned, I can save it. However, it requires Ruwei's own strength. Will." As long as Erwei thinks about it, she is omnipotent, but now Erwei can't think about it.Youwei is still too young to understand many things.

"...I understand." Leng Mo had never intended to completely trust the system, and the words of the system woke up Leng Mo, who had put down his vigilance and thought that the safety of Youwei would be guaranteed. The external force was not reliable.The most important thing is to be yourself.

Lengmo is not sure that he can protect Youwei, but neither can the system, so this little guy must have the ability to protect himself.Ling Mo glanced at the little guy who didn't know anything, and You Wei was grinning sweetly at him.

"Then, the sooner the better, let's complete the task now. My time is up." The system patted his skirt, and his body became more and more transparent, "Please, must take all this seriously .”

When the last word was finished, the system had disappeared, leaving only the last sentence floating in the air.

"I will always be with Youwei."

"..." Leng Mo didn't respond any more, and stood up holding Youwei in his arms. There was nothing but gray and green in his eyes.Feeling inexplicably agitated, he picked up a random direction and walked away.The little guy was hugged by Leng Mo, very quiet, just blinking his eyes and looking at the scenery here.

In this area, you can’t see the end at a glance, except for the lake where Lengmo stayed before, you can’t see anything other than trees and huge mushrooms, so Lengmo also gave up the act of distinguishing directions and just walked with his head buried.

Water and edge ink are no longer worrying.But there is no food in this area, and the system's words revealed a message to Leng Mo, that is, the trees and ground here are poisonous and cannot be eaten.And Leng Mo didn't see any living creatures appearing.If you can't quickly find the place where the core of the world was born in the depths of the forest...

Ling Mo bit his lower lip.

I don't know how long I walked, but the almost indistinguishable scenery is reflected in my eyes, no matter how beautiful it is, it has become a source of irritability and pain.The little guy lay drowsily in Leng Mo's arms, but Leng Mo could only drag his heavy steps to continue
