Outside the tower, flight.
After seven hundred years of silent journey, the evil ones have long forgotten the end and the starting point of this journey.
They sat quietly in their respective cabins. Unlike outsiders, once an explosion occurred here, they would remain in the same position after being resurrected.
During the seven hundred years, if there were no reincarnation, these evil beings would become extremely powerful, but under the influence of reincarnation, all the growth they would have had would be absorbed by reincarnation.
Mummy Yin quietly guarded the coffin. It had been like this for seven hundred years. As the owner of the reincarnation, its distortion level was only level seven. Outside the flight, in any purple or red area, it was far from the level of a guardian.
But in this flight, it is the undisputed king.
Every three minutes, the broadcast about flights encountering turbulence would still sound, becoming the loudest sound in the past seven hundred years.
The woman who had undergone cesarean section suddenly opened her eyes, with a hint of worry and confusion in her brows.
The dog-headed man beside her looked at her affectionately, just as he had done for the past seven hundred years.
She seemed to have a sudden desire to speak:
"I won't like you. In this world where you only have six minutes to live, love doesn't bring any sweetness. Why bother?"
The dog-headed man is the "suck-up" among the "Good Times" trio on the flight who is always deeply in love with the evil woman who did the cesarean section.
He once had a decent job, and compared to many men, he was considered a leader, although he was not as good as Yan Chao in terms of income, ability, intelligence, status, and appearance.
At that time, Yan Chao was not yet Sequence 25—Integrator, but Yan Chao's natural scumbag temperament always made many women fascinated by him like moths to a flame.
Among them was the woman who underwent cesarean section, whose real name was Jian Qiu.
The original name of the dog-headed man Evil was Tian Jing. He made a low growl in his throat, not caring at all that Jian Qiu rejected him. It was only natural for her to reject me.
But she suddenly wanted to talk. Was she unhappy? What should I do to make her happy? This was what Tian Jing cared about.
After becoming evil, some parts of Tian Jing became purer.
If there was a happy event in the past seven hundred years, it was when the two humans, one tall and one short, appeared more than half a year ago.
At that time, in order to get the tall guy off the flight, Jian Qiu gave herself an order.
I am so lucky to be able to go through fire and water for the goddess again!
Jian Qiu could understand what Tian Jing said, but she felt that this man was a little sick. Even though she had clearly expressed that she looked down on him, he became more excited and attentive.
In fact, I don’t know since when, the behavior of a person who likes another person but cannot get the love, and then lowers his posture to like the other person more, is called dog-licking behavior.
Jian Qiu also felt that this description was wrong, but she just couldn't love someone who treated her well unconditionally. She clearly hoped that someone would rush onto the flight and rescue her.
Just like when someone rushed into the plane for the little girl from the Yan family. And the monster beside her who had been with her for seven hundred years, who was neither human nor dog, definitely had this kind of awareness.
But people are always not interested in things that come too easily.
But at this moment, she wanted to speak because she felt some pain.
At the location of the heart, that empty place, a slight but real pain arose.
Even though she no longer had that heart and had clearly given it to Bai Wu, she still felt an unspeakable pain.
Tian Jing wanted to hold Jian Qiu's hand, but he didn't dare to do so. He felt that it was too blasphemous.
In fact, Jian Qiu thought that if she had not become evil, if Tian Jing had not become evil, and if Tian Jing was not too humble, then maybe there would be a chance.
She suddenly thought of her offspring, the little girl who was also too humble. At this moment, Jian Qiu suddenly realized that her empty heart was aching. Was it because of this little girl
She wanted to say something, so she started to recount some past events without caring that the explosion was still three minutes away:
"I have forgotten how many generations the Yan family's bloodline has been passed down. Some of them are very pure, totally unlike the bloodline of a monster like me. Some are very evil, as if they inherited Yan Chao's temperament."
Among all the women who like Professor Yan, Jian Qiu is the best one. In Yan Chao's words: I like you, you have perfect genes.
Jian Qiu, who was in love, thought that this was a compliment to herself. In fact, Yan Chao just wanted a reproductive tool, and what he said was the truth in his heart.
Of course they have to have perfect genes. After all, Evil gave birth to two children. Even if they are experimental subjects, good-looking ones are better than ugly ones.
For Yan Chao, after Jian Qiu became pregnant, the two children in her belly were experimental subjects, even though he was the father of the children.
In the end, Jian Qiu underwent inhumane experiments and became evil after having two children.
"I used to hate them, but my heart could make me feel for them... Watching them grow up little by little, seeing them become just like humans, I can no longer hate them."
Jian Qiu's voice was very low, but she knew that Tian Jing next to her would listen carefully.
“We are trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, but it cannot cut off our connection with the outside world and our memories. Yan Chao soon found out that I was able to establish some kind of connection with the children.”
"He doesn't care. He even seems to be doing some kind of experiment on me, or provoking me. He will have everyone isolate anyone who has emotional defects or other bloodlines that are suspected of being evil..."
"Sometimes it's boys, sometimes it's girls, and every time I want to say something to those children through my heart, once Yan Chao knows, he will do everything he can to torture them..."
"It might even erase their memories."
"He warned me not to influence these children. I could only watch their siblings... The one with complete emotions had a better life, but his heart was getting worse... And the one with incomplete emotions was drowned in loneliness and hated by the family."
Tian Jing had never known these things. He lowered his head, looking quite lost.
Jian Qiu didn't care, she just needed to speak out some things in her heart. Perhaps today, the little girl in the tower was experiencing something very painful, so much so that she also felt a little pain, in that place where there was no heart anymore.
There are always only one boy and one girl in the Yan family.
Sometimes it is the boy who is emotionally incomplete, and sometimes it is the girl who is emotionally incomplete, and Yan Chao will deliberately treat them differently, just like torturing Jian Qiu.
The one who is emotionally intact can always get the favor of the family and always have access to the family's real business.
The one who is emotionally incomplete… is like an outsider with a blood relationship.
Jian Qiu once tried to comfort them, whether they were emotionally intact or incomplete, but once Yan Chao knew about these things, he would severely punish these children.
Even send it outside the tower for direct memory cleansing.
Over time, Jian Qiu felt sorry for these children and no longer dared to show up easily. She could only silently watch the lives of her bloodline outside of the reincarnation in the distant reincarnation.
It is worth mentioning that Jian Qiu can only establish this kind of connection with the youngest bloodline of the Yan family.
Once a new descendant of the Yan family is born, the connection with the previous generation of the Yan family will disappear.
Yan Chao is no longer able to have children, and it seems that the curse has also affected him. Yan Chao naturally has no way to find this woman, but he has many ways to take revenge on Jian Qiu.
Torturing blood is a form of revenge.
But Jian Qiu had no way to resist. She had endless resentment towards Yan Chao, but those bloodlines also belonged to her, which made her feel extremely distressed.
She knew that Yan Chao was capable of anything, so she could only be a silent bystander.
Over the past seven hundred years, watching these brothers and sisters gradually become strangers, Jian Qiu thought that this would be the torture and pain that he would face forever in his long and even endless life.
Until more than ten years ago, two changes occurred.
The first change was that Yan Chao seemed to be planning something with someone. For hundreds of years, although Yan Chao had been warning Jian Qiu and preventing Jian Qiu from influencing the descendants of the Yan family, he at least gave Jian Qiu the power of an "observer".
Until a few years ago, the child of the Yan family, Yan Zhisui... cut off this connection.
Even though Jian Qiu had never influenced Yan Zhisui, Yan Zhisui, for some reason... suddenly cut off this connection.
So from that year on, there was only one person in Jian Qiu's world.
This person was the cause of the second incident—a girl with the most serious emotional disability.
This girl's emotional disability is more serious than all the emotionally disabled people in the Yan family's history, because she is completely unable to feel joy, and becomes extremely sensitive and easy to perceive negative emotions.
In Yan Chao's opinion, such a person is the product of genetic failure, a waste that cannot even leave the tower.
So, under the "glorious tradition" of the Yan family, the head of the Yan family, who had been passing down the tradition from generation to generation, soon knew how to view his daughter.
The little girl was completely isolated, and because her emotional damage was too severe and she was never able to feel joy, she became a monster and an alien in the eyes of others.
This little girl is Yan Jiu.
Even in Jian Qiu's opinion, a child who cannot feel joy and grows up in such a distorted environment may really become a monster in the future.
Maybe the insane asylum is where she will end up.
Yan Jiu did go to a mental hospital later, but as he witnessed the little girl's gradual growth from a child to a young girl... Jian Qiu realized that he was wrong.
"I always thought she would become a monster with a twisted mind. Many monsters in the world are like this. They are different from the people around them. Even if they want to erase these differences and try hard to fit in with the world, they are still abandoned by the world and eventually become monsters."
The explosion is about to happen, but in the past seven hundred years, Jian Qiu and the countless evil creatures on the flight have already adapted to death.
She still spoke of the treasure in her heart with a somewhat distressed tone:
"But she is different... This joyless child does not hate the world that hates her. The world has never shown kindness to her, but she always treats the world with kindness."
"She never felt any hatred for the many lunatics with strange features in the asylum, the servants and slaves she had met in the manor, her brother and father whom she had disliked since she was a child, and even the robber who had kidnapped her."
"I even thought she was incapable of even hating someone, but one day I asked her, if those people don't like you, why do you still try to be nice to them
Her eyes were empty and she told me with fear in them, because she didn't want to become more annoying...
At that time, I realized that this girl was not without hatred, but she always felt that... maybe if she behaved a little better... the world would respond to her kindness. "
It was as if a pure white flower bloomed in a place full of mud and decay.
In the seven hundred years of the Yan family, Jian Qiu had only seen such a thing twice.
But she also knew that these two bloodlines of the Yan family might be destined to end in tragedy.
The explosion happened, and everything on the flight started again.
After his consciousness recovered from the burning pain, Jian Qiu seemed to feel nothing and continued to say what he wanted to say.
Tian Jing still accompanied him silently.
"The remaining half of the heart is the only thing I have. It is my most precious treasure. You must be curious about why I gave that heart to that outsider..."
"I can't really say. That person's acting is pretty good. At that time, I was also thinking that it was very touching to have someone who was willing to appear in Xiao Jiu's life and go to find her when she disappeared regardless of any danger."
"But I know... that person is full of lies... because there is no such person in Xiaojiu's life. If there really is such a person, she is such a pitiful and loveless girl, she would definitely not be able to help but mention this person to me."
"But she couldn't even invent someone to like her."
"I gave my heart to that person. I don't know what his feelings are for Xiao Jiu... I just hope that maybe there will be someone who can truly love her."
Tian Jing remained silent. In his heart, he only had his goddess Jian Qiu. However, the little girl that Jian Qiu mentioned also made him feel distressed.
Jian Qiu covered her empty heart, enduring the pain, tears forming in her eyes:
"But now it seems that I was wrong. She is unhappy... She must be unhappy, so I feel so much pain here..."
She was always afraid that Yan Chao would cut off her connection with Yan Jiu... Jian Qiu never dared to talk too much with Yan Jiu.
But deep down, she loved this little girl.
But after giving half of her heart to Bai Wu, she never saw Yan Jiu again.
Jian Qiu once thought that being in the prison of reincarnation, constantly watching his descendants grow, become twisted, and die... was torture to himself.
But now she realized that not being able to see all this was the real torture.
…
…
Tower, third floor.
In everyone's eyes, the third floor is the most prosperous floor of the entire tower. It is like a city in the tower.
It is not as backward as the bottom and second floors, nor as sparsely populated as the fourth and fifth floors.
Countless happy and sad stories are played out in this city every day. It's just that some places are ignored, while some places are too lively.
It was like the insane asylum was deserted, while Mingyu Manor was decorated with lights and colors.
Apart from gatherings of married women, Mingche rarely invites guests here in large numbers, especially those from the Survey Corps.
Although Mingche admired Gu Qingyu very much, he was already the deputy head of the group and he couldn't poach her.
Most of the elite members of the legions came to the Survey Corps today, as did the Suppression Corps.
After the last military exercise between the two armies, the relationship between the Survey Corps and the Guard Corps had actually eased somewhat, but it was only slightly eased.
So when they saw the Chinese characters for “囍” posted everywhere in the manor, they were very curious about who had such a great honor in getting married.
In particular, since this person has such a high status and can make the regiment commander issue orders to each team leader, asking them to come to Mingyu Manor, why was there no news about his marriage before
The elite troops of the tower gathered together, the scale of which was even larger than the military exercises between the two armies, and Mingyu Manor was full of experts.
Others noticed that there were many unfamiliar faces among these masters.
There was no curiosity or joy of attending a wedding on their faces; they just looked calm.
Lin Wurou, Yin Shuang, Shang Xiaoyi, Wang Shi and others were all hanging around in the manor.
"Fuck, I've known for a long time that the third leader of the Zhenyu Army is rich and likes to play with other people's wives, but I never thought he was so rich and liked to play with other people's wives so much. Isn't this place a place for swapping wives? What's the idea of holding a wedding in such a place?"
Lin Wu Rou was actually expressing that the manor was really big and the owner of the manor really knew how to have fun. Of course, he himself was not interested in these things in the manor. After all, in Lin Wu Rou's eyes, those men and women were just a bunch of "ordinary stuff."
Yin Shuang said:
"You don't know who's getting married?"
"I don't know... It looks like it belongs to some important person, look!" Shang Xiaoyi pointed to a corner of the hall.
Yin Shuanglin Wurou looked over and immediately frowned:
"Why are they here too?"
Liu Hu, Xie Yingjie, Wang Su, Pang Li, Zheng Yue. Five of the six members of the inspection team came.
These people are the strongest in the tower. Lin Wurou, Yin Shuang and others have been under their supervision when they went out of the tower these days. They have deeply felt the gap between them and these fifth-floor masters.
But because of this, Lin Wurou and others have made rapid progress by surviving one life-and-death battle after another. However, there is still a gap compared to these monsters in the inspection team.
"Why isn't their captain here? The one who looks better than you." Wang Shi asked Lin Wu Rou curiously.
Lin Wurou rolled her eyes at Wang Shi:
"Humph, I won't bother with a blind ugly person like you."
Yin Shuang always felt something was wrong. She took a look and found that it seemed that most people at this wedding didn't know who the people attending the wedding were.
If you listen carefully, you will hear that people are talking about the bride and groom.
Perhaps the only person who knew about it was Mingche, but Mingche was nowhere to be found.
Yin Shuang took a look at the positions of the captains and found that the captains of each team were there, but the two captains of Team 7 were missing.
Bai Wu and Wu Jiu are not here.
Yin Shuang also discovered that something seemed to be wrong with the wedding process. All the guests had already started to take their seats, but the bride and groom were nowhere to be seen.
The wedding process of the people in the tower does not have so many retro processes, especially if it is the wedding of the leader of the legion, it is probably just a matter of exchanging rings with everyone's blessings.
So Yin Shuang suddenly thought, could this be the leader’s wedding
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she felt more and more that this might be the case. Although the two legions did not get along very well, there have always been rumors that the leader of the Investigation Legion and the leader of the Defense Legion had a special relationship and both came from the fifth level.
If the leader of the Survey Corps is getting married... then it is reasonable for the Zhenyu Army to use the best Mingyu Manor for the reception.
But how come no one has ever told about such a big thing as Qin Tuan’s marriage
Especially Qin Tuan, who is well-known for not being interested in women.
Who is the bride? What kind of woman is it that makes Qin Tuan get married so quickly? Or... is this not the Tuan leader's wish
Yin Shuang couldn't figure it out, she continued to look around, and then felt something strange.
Because she saw Liu Chengzi among the guests.
Most of those who came were elite members of the Investigation Corps. Liu Chengzi would probably not be invited because even Ruan Qingyun and the people from the interrogation team were not invited. Theoretically, Liu Chengzi should not have been invited either.
Yin Shuang decided to go over and ask.
She slowly walked through the crowd, came to Liu Chengzi, and patted Liu Chengzi on the shoulder.
When Liu Chengzi saw that it was Yin Shuang, he immediately showed joy. He finally met an acquaintance.
"Why are you here? Did the captain inform you? Do you know whose wedding this is?"
"It was the deputy group leader who asked me to attend this wedding. I didn't know... When I heard it was on the third floor, I thought it was fun and agreed to come."
team leader
Yin Shuang determined through the identities of the people around them that those attending the wedding were all elite soldiers from both armies. Liu Chengzi had a good reputation among the men in the Investigation Corps and was someone who was close to the male investigators.
But the strength... is hard to say.
Since the captain specifically asked Liu Chengzi to participate, I think Liu Chengzi must be a friend of the groom or the bride.
Yin Shuang did not look down on Liu Chengzi. On the contrary, she admired her very much. At least she herself was unable to chat with people she was not familiar with.
Of course, she didn't know that Liu Chengzi once used her as an example to talk about tea culture to a little girl.
"Come on, we're over there, sit with us."
"Okay, okay, Sister Shuang, you are really an angel. You came at the perfect time." Liu Chengzi took Yin Shuang's hand very familiarly.
From a distance, the two looked like a pair of good sisters.
Yin Shuang still remembers what happened in the food domain, and the conversation between Li Zi and Chen Shuyue among the three sisters.
Perhaps because she sympathized with Liu Chengzi's situation, she forced a smile onto her icy face.
The members of the Survey Corps sat at the same table.
The seventh team had the most people coming, while the other teams mostly had only the captain and a few two or three elite members.
But all members of the vanguard group of Team 7, except Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, were present.
Although most people didn’t know what the wedding was about, like Yin Shuang, they guessed that it was more than one person from the top of the tower getting married.
When managers get married, they rarely make a big fuss on the third floor, and this is even more so for those in the ruling class.
Many people in high positions hold their weddings on the fourth or fifth floor, and few would hold a lavish wedding on the third floor.
Although everyone was curious, the atmosphere in Mingyu Manor was still full of laughter.
They didn't care who the bride and groom were, as if this was just an ordinary wedding.
Several people in the supervisory group had the same idea. However, in their eyes, the so-called groom in a high position was just an unwelcome heir of the Qin family. Most of them had lived for hundreds of years, and unlike other people, their mentality of attending the wedding was more like they were going to watch a joke of their juniors.
Only Xie Xingzhi's reaction was slightly different.
He had been pretending to join in the conversation with the other guardians of the Tower Family.
For example, he complained to Liu Hu, Pang Li and others about the Qin family, why they had to make such a big fuss for a wedding. He seemed to be quite disdainful of the Qin family, and occasionally talked about where Yan Zizai went, or what he saw in the black area last time.
But his eyes would occasionally stare at the ceiling—the ceiling nine hundred meters above.
This scene was also seen by Zheng Yue who was yawning. He felt it was a bit strange. Old Xie's eyes looked as if the ceiling was going to collapse.
