God said he likes you

It is very strange here, it is different from most of the places on the cruise ship, the wooden floor smells of mold, the whole room is only illuminated by the lamp on the desk, Gu Yan looked around with the dim light, and found a stick on the wall map.

This map is a few years old, slightly yellowed, the corners are curled up, and some places are marked.

He judged from the blurred outline on the map that this was... the Mediterranean Sea?

On the left is Spain, on the right is Turkey, and in the middle is Italy, Rome, Venice, and Emerald, all of which are circled by red handwriting. The red circles on the Egyptian territory below are more dense, extending all the way to Mesopota Mia Plateau.

"What is this place?" Gu Yan asked.

After the black cloth was covered, his eyes were completely dark at first, and then he arrived at this place. The ability of time is related to space, so he must have been taken to teleport just now.

"Here is the 'heart,'" Time said, "the heart of this cruise ship."

"Are we still on the cruise ship?"

Time nodded: "Yes, we are hundreds of miles away from the coastline, and my ability is not yet able to reach such a long distance."

"What does the heart mean?" Gu Yan continued to ask.

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll tell you later," Shi Shi smiled, turned his back to Gu Yan, and said, "Can you zip the zipper for me?"

The zipper of the skirt he was wearing was at the back, and it was a bit inconvenient for him to do it himself. Gu Yan helped him a little, and the sound of the zipper was very clear in the silent room.

Under the dim light, the skin on Timeback's back is beeswax-colored, the shoulder blades are smooth and flat, dark blue tattoos are spread on it, and the snake scales seem to be glowing.

Gu Yan had never seen his tattoo before, so he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment. The snake bent and wound from his lower back to his shoulders. The lines were very clear, and the winding lines were even a bit seductive.

Time took off the skirt and showed his body generously in front of Gu Yan. He took out a Japanese-style bathrobe from the closet beside him and put it on casually. The belt was loosely tied, his chest was exposed in the air, and his collarbone was exposed. The snake's head below reveals a scarlet letter, and the vertical pupils in the eyes add a bit of weirdness.

There is a desk, a wardrobe, and a bed in the room. This may be his bedroom. Gu Yan thought, wouldn't it be moldy to sleep in this environment?

Time, however, took it for granted, skillfully took out the tea leaves and tea sets, made a cup of tea for Gu Yan, and invited him to sit down.

The two sat opposite each other across the desk.

"What do you want to know," Time said, "come one by one, and I can tell you all."

There were too many questions in Gu Yan's mind, and he didn't know what to ask at this moment, so he looked at his mask and said, "Can you take it off?"

"A problem was presented to me from the very beginning." Time said in a helpless tone, still covering the mask with his hand, and gently uncovered it.

Gu Yan's breathing was stagnant.

In fact, judging from the half of his face, he and Shen Shinian have a certain degree of similarity, but his facial features are more feminine, combined with his age, it is probably similar to Shen Shinian's in high school.

He should have a pretty face, but the patterns around the eyes spoil the beauty of the whole face. These patterns are like the totems of some primitive tribes, or like children's random scribbles, with entangled lines of different thicknesses Together, it is like dozens of snakes entangled and mated with each other.

Gu Yan didn't have trypophobia, and his scalp was still numb after seeing this scene. He finally understood why the other party was wearing a mask all the time. Compared with wearing a mask, this face must be more strange to others.

"Is it ugly?" Time asked him.

This question is not easy to answer.

"I knew it," Time said frustrated, "I'm not as good-looking as my brother, so you like him and don't like me."

"What kind of logic is this?" Gu Yan said, "I didn't know what you looked like before you took off your mask."

After hearing this sentence, the time was even more sad: "So no matter what I look like, you don't like me?"

"In this case, the second question," Gu Yan stared into his eyes, "why do you like me?"

Time replied simply: "Because you are a god."

"Then why don't you like my dad?" Gu Yan asked, "According to your logic, he is the real god, right?"

"But he's gone."

Gu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and said slowly: "Is he... really dead?"

"From a human point of view, he is indeed dead, but he is an advanced creature after all, maybe death is just his way to another dimension, and no one can be sure whether he is living in the world in another form .”

Gu Yan frowned: "Then how did he die?"

"Suicide." Shi Shi quietly spit out two words.

Gu Yan suspected that he had heard wrong, committed suicide?How is it possible, his father obviously lives happier than anyone else, why can't he figure out how to commit suicide?

"The death and rebirth of gods are both disasters," Time explained, "In 1934, a sandstorm swept across the grasslands of the western United States, forming a giant wind wall 3000 kilometers long, [-] kilometers wide, and more than [-] meters high. Hundreds of millions of acres of land were destroyed, and some people called it a black storm. The federal government declared that the cause of the disaster was soil erosion. In fact, there was a storm eye deep in the desert of Texas that no one could approach. Wait until the strong wind After it subsided, a man came out from the eye of the storm, and the U.S. troops who were waiting in battle opened fire on him with the most advanced weapons at that time, but did not hurt him at all."

After a pause, Time continued: "Later, he disappeared into the desert, no one knew where he went, and everything about him was also hidden in the secret database of the Pentagon. Before long, many unidentified people The purpose of coming to the western United States is to investigate his whereabouts, these people are all from the same organization..."

Gu Yan probably guessed: "Valhalla?"

"Yes," said Time, "do you know how Valhalla came about?"

Gu Yan shook his head.

Time patiently said: "This has to start with another organization. You may not have heard of it. It is called the Holy Church. It is an organization of believers that has existed for thousands of years. At present, the main church is in Rome. Most of the world's Religious organizations are related to them. In history, many popes served as bishops of the church at the same time. Because of its religious nature, there is an institution dedicated to eradicating heretics, called the Judgment, which is Valhalla's predecessor."

No wonder they call themselves Inquisitors.

"It wasn't long before the Tribunal became independent from the Holy Church at that time, and its nature was different from what it is now. It was completely on the opposite side of the Holy Church. If the biggest wish of the Holy Church is to let God come to the world, then Valhalla The purpose is to make God never appear on the earth again."

Gu Yan frowned: "That's why they went to find that person?"

"Yes," Time nodded, "Although they are not sure about the identity of that person, judging from the disaster he caused, his genetic level should be very high, and he should be wiped out whether he is an experimental subject or not."

"...I don't quite understand," Gu Yan asked, "Why don't they want God to descend?"

Time replied: "Because God is an intruder."

From the perspective of the earth, the gods, the so-called advanced alien creatures are indeed invaders. They destroyed the original ecosystem, turned the erect ape into a bug, and the balance of the entire planet began to tilt towards humans.

But for human beings, if there is no alien gene, it may take tens of thousands of years of evolution to reach the current level of civilization. From a certain point of view, God is indeed the benefactor of human beings.

Gu Yan tried to understand the meaning of time: "For human beings, gods are like white people who came to America 200 years ago, and human beings were Indians who were still in the primitive tribal stage at that time. Although white people brought advanced productivity, But they are always considered invaders... But the problem is, the aliens did not slaughter humans, nor did they seize the land of the earth, no matter how you look at it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, right?"

"No," Time shook his head and said slowly, "Human life and the land of the earth are meaningless to gods. What they take away is the future of human beings."

Gu Yan was stunned for a while, but couldn't understand again: "The future?"

"After listening to this story, you will know." Shi Shi took a sip of tea, and the tea leaves floating in the ceramic teacup swirled gently, "After that person disappeared from the eye of the storm, a few days later, a homeless man Appearing in a cowboy bar on the edge of the desert, the bar owner kindly gave him a glass of wine, and the man handed the owner a gold coin before leaving."

Gu Yan immediately thought of something, time magically took out a gold coin from his hand and placed it on the table.

Lady Luck's posture is still so familiar.

"It's different from the gold coins you see on the gaming table," Time explained. "Those chips are imitations. There are only three of them in the world that have magic power, and they contain powerful spiritual power."

Gu Yan suddenly realized: "That's why you can enter my dream?"

Mu Yu said that there are only two ways to invade the spiritual force field, the first is to find the "door", and the second is to have stronger spiritual power, and the ability of time is not in the spiritual aspect, so it is only possible through this The way is to forcibly modify the "game" designed by Mu Yu.

Shi Shi nodded in acknowledgment and continued: "The owner of the bar didn't know what it was, and later sold this gold coin to a rich British businessman who was mining oil in the west. You may have heard of his name, and he was the one who built this cruise ship. Your Excellency, the Duke. The Duke is not a Noah, but he knows a lot of secrets about the Noah, because his ancestors were the foreign ministers of the East India Company, and once intercepted a cargo ship from China to Western Europe. In addition to fine ceramics and silk, In addition to the handicrafts, there is also a coffin made of golden nanmu."

"Coffin?" Gu Yan frowned, "Why is there a coffin on the boat?"

"People at that time must have thought so too," Shi Shi smiled knowingly, and continued, "Because the coffin itself is more expensive, the Duke's ancestors thought there were other valuable things inside, so they opened the coffin regardless of the crew's obstruction. But no one expected that the impact of this move would be so great that it directly led to an unprecedented tsunami in October 1737."

"Calcutta cyclone..." Gu Yan had a solemn expression, "I heard about it in geography class."

The Calcutta cyclone in the geography book swept from the Bay of Bengal and hit the largest city in India at the time at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

"Is it familiar?" Time asked.

Gu Yan said: "You mean, the person in the coffin is the same person who caused the black storm?"

"Exactly," Shi Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, "the proof is the gold coin that the Duke's ancestors took out from the coffin. Therefore, when the Duke saw the gold coin in the tavern owner's hand, he did not hesitate to pay a lot of money to buy it. Later he Built this cruise ship and named it the Fortuna because he believed that one day the man who caused the disaster would come and take what was his.”

"I know where this is." Gu Yan said in a deep voice.

Time raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

"This is the Chinese cargo ship," Gu Yan looked around, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be in the middle of the Fortuna, and it has been drifting at sea in this way for decades."

Time applauded and said with a smile: "Very good, then you should also know who the owner of this cruise ship has been waiting for for so many years?"

The author has something to say: The information about the black storm and the Kolkata cyclone are all from Baidu, the novel is reprocessed, please do not substitute reality.
