The edge of pure land

On that day, mankind once again felt the fear of being dominated by gods in ancient times.

The camels in the desert were turning their heads and snoring restlessly. The explorers could not break out of the wind and sand no matter how hard they tried. They looked to the sky in horror, despair and fear reflected in their eyes.

In the dilapidated ruins, the father who had just set up the tent pushed his son and daughter inside. He raised his head alone and held the soul blade tightly, looking warily at the terrifying gods in the sky.

The people in the ancient town of Thebes tried their best to squeeze in the space-time transmission array but to no avail. In the end, they put down the dimension transmitters in their hands and looked at each other with extremely complicated emotions. They didn't know if they regretted coming to the third place. The site takes a trip through this muddy water.

In the dilapidated streets, the sound of hawking stopped abruptly.

The faces of the vendors were dull.

In the stone hotel, people looked up at the sky in horror.

The helicopter shook like a bird with broken wings in the desert. The pilot found that the electronic components of the aircraft seemed to have been interfered with in some way, and desperately picked up the walkie-talkie to call for help.

But he seemed to have forgotten something.

This is the third site.

It is not a human world.

"I think someone should have discovered by now that you can no longer leave the third site. From this moment on, the time and space transmission has completely failed, and even walking cannot let you out of this desert. Before I really fall into sleep, this desert will not have any The end.”

The god who lives high in the sky is so terrifying and majestic, but the voice he makes is a human voice, gentle and indifferent: "This is the revenge of the civilization of the gods on mankind. As early as tens of thousands of years ago, or more At an earlier time than I can remember... our civilization fell because of a betrayal, which made me see the hopelessness of human nature."

"Despicable, greedy, cruel, selfish, hypocritical, indifferent, jealous, ignorant... You regard the civilization of gods as enemies, but you don't know that the real disaster comes from your compatriots. But I don't think humans can understand these words, Human beings have always been ignorant, but they dare to challenge God. It is recorded in the Bible that human beings united to build a tower hoping to lead to heaven. In order to prevent human beings from planning, God made human beings speak different languages ​​so that human beings could communicate with each other. Unable to communicate, the plan failed and humans dispersed."

As if it was an illusion, the god lowered his head and looked down, with a playful smile on his lips: "The God in your imagination is still too kind... Why can humans yearn for heaven? Without God's permission, how can you dare to raise your head? ?”

The world is silent.

"At this moment, I will launch revenge on mankind on behalf of the civilization of the gods. The epidemic has quietly spread among the people, and disasters are already breeding in the corners. Each of you is a member of this carnival, and it is our clan that once again rules the world. The petri dish of Jehovah in the Bible takes advantage of the weaknesses of human nature and uses words to divide you. This time, I will completely expose the ugliness in your hearts and make you realize... what a despicable species you are. ”

As if the death knell of doomsday rang, the god suddenly spread his hands, his white robes rustled in the dark wind, and the smell of decay was overwhelming: "Human... the game begins!"

The rich aura of decay and death dissipated in the darkness, like hundreds of millions of souls imprisoned in hell escaping, reflected in people's confused and frightened eyes, frozen in the lenses of countless cameras, and scattered across this land. In the windy sand of the endless desert.

"is that a lie?"

"Oh, isn't Gong Yu, one of the Three Sages of the Golden Age, dead long ago? How come he appears at the third station? Is this a prank by someone from the Kingdom?"

"What betrayal, what conspiracy? What does it have to do with us? This must be a lie to us, and we can definitely leave. Since there is an epidemic, why can't I feel it?"

"Since the time and space teleportation array has failed, let's walk back! After this is done, I will buy a manor in Karuizawa, Tokyo. Gods and ghosts have nothing to do with me!"

Just when the ancient town was in panic and commotion, a Yingzhou man vowed to return to his hometown through the desert. But at this moment, he suddenly felt extreme discomfort in his body. He leaned on the old wall and bent in pain. He bent down and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The crowd suddenly erupted in screams.

Because in that pool of blood, there was a mass of dark matter crawling!

Similar scenes can now be seen everywhere in the desert. Some people are screaming in panic, and some are vomiting blood. Every human gathering place was plunged into panic and turmoil, as if shrouded in the shadow of gods and plunged into an abyss of fear.

There was a click.

The white-robed traveler walking in the desert had his head forcibly twisted off. The smell of decay emerged like a tide, and the wriggling maggots broke out of their cocoons and turned into butterflies, walking through the wind and sand.

"It's just a clone, pretending to be a ghost here."

Medanzo waved his hands disdainfully, his expression full of disdain and disdain, and said mockingly: "To talk about human beings so badly, it's as if you have never been a human being."

Only this time, the voice of that old friend could be heard faintly in the wind and sand. He was like a poet from the Middle Ages, saying softly: "The time of being a human being is of course happy, my friend. But just like Because I have been a human being before, I know how despicable human beings are, just like the thoughts I... had about you."

He paused, and his voice was as soft as reciting a poem: "I miss the time we had together very much. Unfortunately, happiness is fleeting, but hatred is eternal."

Medanzo suddenly turned around.

There is nothing in the desolate desert.

Lu Fuji stood in the attic in a daze.

The gods and soldiers in the courtyard were all looking up at the night sky, silently staring at the direction where the god disappeared. The cold wind howled in the darkness and the bells sounded melodiously.

Today's farce is over. The Heavenly Man Organization and the Human Watch Army have reached a reconciliation for the first time in history. Military representatives are already discussing with the elders how to deal with this disaster. The dead man who caused the trouble has also been taken away. , everything seemed to be calm.

But he didn't feel any relaxation.

Not just because of the Corrupt Death's declaration of war on humanity.

It was more because Lianhua and Chen Jing were talking alone.

Before the meeting started, Lianhua suddenly stood up in front of both parties and proposed that he wanted to talk to the bad woman alone. The location was set in the reception hall next to the temple. There was coffee and wine there, as well as an old man who was proficient in ancient cooking. Chef, it's a nice place.

The bad woman readily agreed.

From beginning to end, no one asked Lu Fuji's opinion.

It's as if this person doesn't even exist.

But every minute and second that followed, whether they were soldiers or gods, they looked at him as if they were looking at a dead person, as if he had a terminal illness and was about to die soon.

It's a pity that Lu Fuji would rather suffer from a terminal illness all over again than go through a torturous time like now. His heart was beating wildly in his chest and he was sweating profusely.

"Mr. Lu, let's have a cup of coffee."

An old man came in with a dinner plate and said gently: "Life and death have their own destiny, and everything is destined. The price of evolution is to ignore life and death."

"Where the hell did this old bastard come from? No matter what the hell I do, I won't have my head chopped off and be carried across the sea, right? Madam is mysophobic and can't do such a thing, and neither can a bad woman. I’m willing to do that. Well, I definitely won’t.”

Lu Buer took the coffee, took a sip, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "How are things going? What does the threat of the corrupt god of death mean? Is the epidemic really spreading?"

The old man shook his head and said seriously: "We still don't know yet. We need to wait until the sun rises before we can judge the specific situation. If it is convenient for Mr. Lu, then please follow me. The third elder, Gu Xun, etc. You've been waiting for years."

Lu Fuji was slightly startled, and then he remembered that heavenly beings have the ability to deduce and predict, so his birth and emergence from the cocoon can be predicted.

The bad woman said it.

The third elder is one of our own.

"good."

The god smiled slightly and led him out of the room. The long and narrow corridor was full of gods on both sides. Some had expressionless faces like sculptures, while others showed no trace of disgust and viciousness.

"I know you are hostile to me, but at least please restrain yourself in front of me. Otherwise, I really don't mind if you never show that expression again." Lu Fujian is so arrogant now, how can he tolerate others? He was so provocative and said such words lightly.

The expressions of the gods changed suddenly.

The God smiled and didn't say anything. He led him out of the attic and introduced: "Is this safe haven a little different from what you thought? Egypt is a very important stronghold for us. Our ancestors once established it here. A glorious civilization. So you can see that most of the buildings here are in the style of the ancient Egyptian period. At that time, we used stone to build houses and solid wood to make furniture. Later, Rome and Greece were influenced by us. Impact."

Lu Fuji didn't understand art, so he pretended to hum.

The old man continued: "Although it looks primitive, it is not backward at all. We can skillfully use solar energy to provide heat for this haven. We have the technology to extract groundwater, and we also have our own vegetable gardens and livestock farms. No matter what your parents have done, you have the inheritance of heaven and humanity, and this is your home.”

He smiled and said: "But after all, some people will be hostile to you, so you have to be careful. Of course, there are many guests from major evolutionary organizations in this haven. In the next period of time, they will , will become one of us.”

Lu Fuji continued to pretend to hum.

God took him through a courtyard full of palm trees. There were swimming pools on both sides of the narrow stone road, and at the end was a magnificent ancient house like a palace.

"The Third Elder cares about you very much, but his situation is very special. His body is still sleeping in the dormant chamber, so he has not come here in person, but this does not prevent you from communicating with him."

God kneels and sits in front of the ancient house: "I kneel, you don't have to kneel."

As the door of the ancient house opened, handsome young people came out. Each of them was wearing a white robe and looked like a walking corpse without any signs of life.

Lu Fuji could tell at a glance.

This seems to be an android!

You know, ever since Lu Fuji broke out of his cocoon, he has always felt that the world's technology has been blocked, and many things that should have been invented in theory have never appeared.

Instead, I saw a lot of new things at the retro Tianren Organization.

But it wasn't the androids that really shocked him.

It's because these androids brought out a black cat.

It is this cat that God and man kneel down on.

The black cat looked very ordinary. The difference was that there was a bell hanging around its neck. It nodded slightly to signal the subordinates to evacuate, raised its head and said: "Didn't expect it?"

Lu Fujiu hummed: "I really didn't expect that."

"The Tianren Organization has many novel things, of course for you. This is also an important reason why your parents were willing to join the organization in the first place. They have a strong sense of exploration."

The black cat licked its paws, and its gentle voice was like a breath of fresh air: "And as their child, you have indeed inherited their... advantages. It seems that although you have experienced a lot of hardships, you have grown up well. Let me I saw their shadow.”

Lu Fuji was confused for a moment: "Are you sure you want to talk about the advantages?"

A smile flashed in the black cat's round eyes, and he said lightly: "Okay, it's a shortcoming. Your parents are full of shortcomings, and you have perfectly inherited all the shortcomings of your parents. You can make them look like you just by looking at them. It’s a headache. But fortunately, as long as you have one advantage, it can outweigh all the disadvantages. You and your parents are like that, because you are strong enough.”

It turned around and raised its tail: "Follow me."

Shika Fuji had never tried to communicate with a cat, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but glance under its tail a few times to see whether it was male or female.

The black cat walked gracefully and said gently: "I have waited for you for many years in vain. You are stronger than I expected. You are worthy of being a person who has broken away from the rules of time."

Lu Fuji was stunned: "A person who has broken away from the rules of time?"

Black Cat explained calmly: "This is a name we used for cocoon breakers in ancient times. Maybe you don't know it yourself, but you cocoon breakers have extraordinary significance to this world. In order to deal with disasters, We will select the best individuals and seal them, and release them at a specific time to maximize their value. "

Lu Fuji didn't like this method of expression that treated people as tools, especially since it involved outside manipulation of individual destiny, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But he still captured something keenly.

"What you just meant is..."

He hesitated for a moment.

Black Cat seemed to see what he was thinking, and said calmly: "Yes, you guessed it right. When the new era opened, the virtual helmets you group of cocoon breakers got were specially customized. As long as you sense The formation of the place of death, and you will continue to sleep until you wake up at a specific time. All this is not a coincidence.

It paused: "In other words, you will not become the first generation of cocoon breakers from the beginning. Because in that era, your value cannot be maximized."

Lu Fuji was surprised: "But..."

The black cat said calmly: "You want to say that not everyone in the group of cocoon breakers is talented, right? Some people are as stupid as idiots, and some are as weak as paramecium. This is also a cover-up, if Everyone in the cocoon of time is a talented genius, so even if the cocoon can play a protective role, sooner or later those people will be cracked by people with ulterior motives, and they only exist to protect you. Cruel, because from the moment they enter the cocoon to sleep, their individual meaning is obliterated.”

Lu Fuji frowned slightly: "Would my parents do such a thing?"

"No, the person who originally set these up was the Supreme Ancestor."

Black Cat denied: "After the Tree of Life woke up, it just ran the program he made back then. As for your parents, they only made some changes on this basis. For example, letting people with close social relationships meet at similar times. The node is broken, Boss Zhang and his daughter can be reunited, and you can reunite with your little friend, all because of these. Of course, there are also dormant warehouses for ordinary people, which are all left to this world by your parents. "

Lu Fuji suddenly realized.

"For those who have broken the cocoon, the problem that troubles you most is your sense of alienation from the world. Social relationships are the ties that maintain your connection with the world. People are the sum of all social relationships, so you must be allowed to Become a whole person.”

Black Cat said calmly: "As Cocoon Breakers, many of your ideas are still stuck in the past. For example, you may think that monogamy is normal and love should last until death. But in the new era, People don't care much about these things. Marriage? Continuing the family line? When people are no longer bothered by material life, they will attach great importance to spiritual pursuits, and no one cares about polygamy or polyandry. You, as long as you don’t violate the law, Miss Chen Jing is a new generation, and her ideas will be much more open.”

The cat turned around and glanced at him with disdain: "Balance exists among all things, so you just need to change Miss Li Nuo's mind. But in any case, these two little girls are very good. I love you, so you don’t have to worry about being cut into pieces. Now, please put your heartbeat away and I’ll take you to see what you need to see.”
