The tower was completely revealed in front of everyone, and the sequence of words on the outer wall became clearly visible again.
All this means that the war is finally over.
In the passage at the bottom of the Denglin Technology Building, all the scientists were still evacuating. In their eyes, this battle was likely to be lost. They were also unaware of the battle taking place thousands of feet in the sky.
The one who finally caught Wujiu was Li You.
Catwoman looked at this figure and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had established some special connection with this person before.
“My whole body felt like it had been burned… but I unexpectedly retained the last bit of life.”
Li was extremely surprised. She was happy to see Alpha lose, but she knew very well how difficult it was to defeat Alpha.
But everything in front of him showed that this person had defeated Alpha head-on.
At least... I can drag it out by myself until the formation is activated.
"Clear... rhyme, white... mist..."
The crimson figure in his arms suddenly started talking in his sleep. Li widened his eyes again and looked at the crimson figure's face in disbelief.
"Why is it you?"
Li couldn't believe it. She had guessed the answer from the other person's talking in his sleep.
In fact, she had been waiting for a short guy, thinking that she had some friendship with Alpha, so she would let Alpha imprison the little man or give him to herself as a gift.
She knew that person would definitely come, and would challenge the devil recklessly for the sake of the future of mankind.
But when she looked at the red body, she realized that this man must have paid an unimaginable price.
"How stupid! You called out the name of the girl you love, but you turned into an evil person."
The name he talked about in his dreams was Ruan Qingyun's. Maybe after Alpha was defeated, this guy could finally make a promise to that human woman in his dream
She once established a bond with Wujiu and knew a lot about him.
This is a man as sharp as a knife. The final trajectory of his life is to rush towards Alpha like a sharp blade, cutting through all obstacles.
But such a person never dares to make a promise to the woman he likes.
Because they are afraid of the end of the world, afraid of distortion, and afraid that their adventure will not end well.
Li suddenly felt very sympathetic towards the unconscious and dying guy in his arms.
He finally pushed the era to the next stage through his hard work, but gave up his human identity.
Cemetery.
The first generation was the first to fall to the ground. When he saw the tower appear, tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't have time to say anything before the side effects of overdrawing space-time power began to appear.
He couldn't even use time travel, because this body's perception of time and space had already shown a pathological state.
He might be unconscious for an hour, but due to excessive use of the power of time and space, this hour might seem infinitely long to him.
The other few people also fell to the ground one after another, but they only exerted their limits and were not as bad as the first generation.
"This guy has an amazing willpower to have been able to hold on until now." The hunter admired sincerely.
The space-time maze from the beginning trapped Alpha and Jingyi.
Later, he used the Space-Time Cube to subdue Jing Yi. Later, the Space-Time Maze was broken several times, but he repaired it in the first place.
He did not directly participate in the confrontation with Alpha, but he was the most tired person on the entire battlefield.
The Hunters had to admit that if the First Generation hadn't existed, the spread of this battle would have been enough to destroy the world.
"He has consumed much more energy than us. He deserves the title of hero." Yin He also praised.
Xu Wei looked at the tower:
"Did we...really do this? Could this be a giant illusion by Alpha?"
"Then let's pray that this illusion can cover us forever. I don't want to face a guy like this again."
"Speaking of which, how long will it take for this tower to disappear?"
"I don't know, but if it doesn't disappear, we will stay here. If it stands for one year, we will stay here for one year. If it stands for ten years, we will stay here for ten years. If it stands for a thousand years, we will stay here for a thousand years."
Lin Rui looked at the tower and knew that this was not the perfect ending and Alpha was not completely defeated.
But this is the best result they can achieve.
Yin He suddenly asked:
"Do you think the distortion will dissipate?"
"It seems not. The world we live in may not return to the way it was before the distortion came." It was the Hunter who answered.
"What's the meaning?"
As the earliest hunter-gatherer, the Hunter knows the history better than anyone else:
"The Lord of the Tower defeated the Lord of Distortion and sealed him in the tower, but he died. So in a sense, there were almost no distorted creatures in the human world at that time. There were only our hunter race and Jingyi."
"Jingyi was also afraid of the many methods left by the Lord of the Tower. We, the hunters, were also afraid of Jingyi. At that time, no one dared to show any abnormality. Throughout the long history, our people have fought with Jingyi many times, but they were all very low-key."
"However, some myths in human history have recorded some of our battles. Some of the popular stories about immortals and magical powers in ancient times are actually the earliest twisted tribes."
"It takes a long time for Jingyi to study the well, to find the backup plan left by the Lord of the Tower, and to create opportunities for the distortion to come. So in the long history, the world has almost no distortion, but distortion has always existed."
"Humans live in a seemingly well-ordered world. Technological civilization is constantly improving, and all rules are stable. Humans have no idea that there has ever been such a thing as distortion, nor do they know that the world has ever been ruled by a higher-dimensional civilization."
It was the first time that Lin Rui knew what the hunter described.
The Stalker continued:
"After that war, in a sense, the world seemed to have restarted. As the next ruler of civilization and the dominant species in the world, humans have always believed that the world is in a stable order."
"But this time is different. This time, Baichuan City, the Tower, the Ark, Sanchez City, all the people and evil that survived show that the world has been distorted."
"I think from now on, we won't be able to suppress distortion. We must learn to coexist with distortion and acknowledge its existence."
These hardly sound like words spoken by a hunter. Yin He still remembers this guy. When they met him earlier, he was determined to eliminate all distortions.
But now, this guy can actually say something like "accept the distortion, and coexist with the distortion."
The hunter also knew that these words were inconsistent with his previous style:
"What defeats distortion is distortion itself. I just figured this out in this battle."
"We can never eliminate the distortion in people's hearts, so it is impossible to purify the distortion unless all living things in this world are extinct..."
"This time, being able to overcome the world crisis is not only the efforts of mankind, but also the efforts of the evil... I really want to purify Jing Si, but I must admit that Jing Si held back Alpha. His contribution is much greater than mine."
"So I have to change my view on distortion. We won't go back to the era when there was no distortion at all, nor will we spread distortion as crazily as Alpha did. I think we should adopt a posture of accepting it but not allowing it to expand."
“We should establish a new system as soon as possible with all those who have the power to make decisions, before the new civilization is established.”
Lin Rui was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that this hunter would have such an insight in this battle.
But he acknowledged it.
Now everyone alive in the world knows about the existence of distortion, and there are many areas around the world that have not been purified by the pieces of the doomsday puzzle.
Alpha's death only means that the distortion has stopped spreading, but it does not mean that it has dissipated. Alpha can only be sealed, not killed, which may mean that the distortion will always exist and will not disappear.
Therefore, there is no way to erase people’s distorted cognition from a macro perspective and carry out a cognitive book burning and burying of scholars.
It is better to let people view distortions correctly, know the harms they bring, and where they can be exploited.
It's like... in a technological world, people are aware of the existence of magic.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing, but as long as all the powerful and distorted creatures can establish rules and systems, this dangerous thing may allow people to enter the next era.
"I seem to have seen... a time when humans and evil beings live in harmony." Xu Wei was a little excited.
"Really? I'm different. I've seen it all these years." Lin Rui thought of Bai Wu.
Before the white fog appeared in the tower, most people's attitude towards the evil was actually the same as the hunters' attitude towards twisted creatures.
But after the white fog appeared, many things changed dramatically.
“In a few years, perhaps the world will look very different.”
Lin Rui looked into the distance, he was also looking forward to the arrival of that future.
He also eagerly wanted to know what the world would be like many years later.
…
…
The fifth level of the Well World.
In the many years to come, people in the real world will gradually accept the arrival of a beautiful new era.
Although the distortion will not dissipate, it is undeniable that the two sequences have seen that the distortion concentration is decreasing, and the tower will eventually enter a space where it cannot be found.
Humans will live outside the tower, and the tower will become a complete prison. The only people who can enter the tower are those who participated in the war.
They will be at the bottom of the tower, taking turns to guard the tower.
Well will enter a light sleep state and then a deep sleep state.
During this process, although the twisted creatures around the world will still retain some of their twisted characteristics, those who have drunk the fountain of eternal life and those who have become evil will still be immortal, but the number of evil will become less and less.
The chaotic rules in each area will gradually return to order.
But all this has nothing to do with the white fog.
The end of the war means the beginning of Bai Wu's sentence.
In the world of yellow sand, the Heart of Rules said:
"He will lose all his memories, all his characteristics, and will be more susceptible to pain. His intelligence and physical strength will be weaker than other creatures on the fifth floor. Although Baichuan City in the well has returned to normal, there are still many other rules that will be hatched. After all..."
"We are in a well. The more normal the outside world is, the more chaotic the inside world is. This rule is not only reflected in the second and third floors."
"Do you think he can hold on? After all, we lied to him about this matter."
The Heart of the World shook his head and said:
"He is now worse than an ordinary person and is likely to die on this floor."
Today, Bai Wu has been stripped of all his abilities, and the price of "renting" his will is extremely heavy.
As the two sequences say, Bai Wu has now become... ignorant, fragile, and timid.
In Baichuan City, which was saved by Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, although the distorted identity rules disappeared, new rules will be born.
The duel between Bai Wu and Alpha lasted less than five minutes, but the sentence he had to serve was as long as thirty-four years. Of course, as time goes on, Bai Wu will gradually recover.
However, now that Bai Wu has been deprived of all his golden fingers, even his cognition, memory, experience, and wisdom, it will be difficult for him to survive.
In thirty-four years, the rules in this city will continue to become worse, so this test is almost impossible for Bai Wu to complete.
This is the price of using your will.
But the development of things... became very interesting. The Heart of the World and the Heart of Rules actually believed that Bai Wu would not be able to survive even a year. They were high above the gods, ready to spy on how Bai Wu would break through, or how he would die.
As a result... they found that they had overlooked something very important.
At the beginning, Bai Wu behaved like a disabled person with intellectual disabilities, so no unit would hire him and he couldn't make any friends.
On the first day, Bai Wu didn't even know who he was. He had some valuables on him, which were stolen by passers-by.
At night he could only sleep under the arch of Baichuan Bridge. He was extremely hungry, but he couldn't find any food and could only endure the hunger.
As he walked on the road, people would occasionally look at him with mockery or pity.
This is the first day of the white fog. A day of hunger and cold.
The next whole month was like this. Bai Wu was like an abandoned stray dog, and his life was miserable.
But he wanted to live. He always felt that he had to live, and he didn't know how long he would live, as if living would bring him hope in the days of despair.
But this is a city that has been baptized by distorted rules. Although people no longer live by their identities, they are still indifferent to the rules of the past and only care about their own business.
He encountered repeated setbacks and eventually became a beggar.
But don't think you can survive like this. As more and more twisted rules are introduced, fights often occur in the city.
The city is becoming more and more sinister, and there are more and more crazy people. If it were the white fog before, it would be easy to judge what kind of rules led to what kind of changes.
But Bai Wu is not like that now. He can’t even speak clearly.
He has no ability to protect himself. In many urban legends, Bai Wu is like a prey waiting to be hunted.
During the past month, he always hid himself in sparsely populated corners at night, covering his ears in fear.
They would only go to crowded places to beg during the day. Once they got food and water, they would hide in a corner to avoid being seen.
He was afraid of being found by those lunatics and killed mercilessly.
Bai Wu's worries are real because such things happen every day.
Faced with such a living environment, the two major sequences changed their views and now they believe that Bai Wu will not survive more than half a year.
Finally, in the middle of the second month, Bai Wu was chased and beaten with baseball bats by a group of red-eyed, crazy teenagers.
He let out a helpless wail. The man who had saved the world was now suffering the most desperate thing in his life.
But just when the sequences thought... everything would end today and Bai Wu's life would end here.
A strong sour smell appeared, and countless eerie laughter that made people shudder was heard.
One of the most powerful ghost stories in the city, the weird-faced ogre, actually encountered the white fog.
He picked up the extremely fragile Bai Wu, not understanding why this guy had become like this.
But soon, a timid boy behind him said:
"Danderel... do you know him? He looks so pitiful."
"I know him, but he looks useless." Dandeler said jokingly.
However, he still saved Bai Wu because Bai Wu helped him, and he was able to gain the friendship of another "Danderel" - Bai Xiaoyu, all thanks to Bai Wu.
Then Danderel said:
"This person is my friend. You are bullying my friend. It's amazing that the scum in this city dare to bully me."
Because of Bai Xiaoyu, Dandelair now seems like a villain who has laid down his butcher knife and become a Buddha.
But his heart is still extremely evil, he is just willing to suppress his evil thoughts for the sake of his friends.
But if one day he could release his evil thoughts for the sake of his friends, he would definitely be more willing.
In short... Bai Wu was saved. Those who bullied Bai Wu all turned into smiling faces, engraved on Dandeler's body.
But Dandeler had no good feelings towards the useless Bai Wu, so after rescuing him, he just threw him away.
It was Bai Xiaoyu who gave Bai Wu some money and food.
Thanks to Dandelaire and Bai Xiaoyu, Bai Wu escaped the disaster.
After this time, the white fog seemed to start to change its luck.
Dandeler is the most terrifying ghost story in the city. Although he left no survivors, Violet, the most powerful person in the city, saw this scene through surveillance.
As people are no longer bound by their identities, Violet's status in this city is no longer supreme.
But she was still the most powerful, because during the time the free men worked for her, she was in charge of most of the city's assets.
Even though many assets have been redistributed today, the core technology is still in our hands.
Violet saw the white mist and became very interested.
Bai Wu will no longer be a beggar for the rest of his life.
Violet is a girl who is addicted to role-playing and she has special feelings for Bai Wu.
At first, Bai Wu had mocked and scolded Violet, and she had established some kind of cooperative relationship with Bai Wu.
It’s just that Bai Wu was deceiving Violet at that time, because there was no Zhong Xu in this world.
Now that Violet found out that Bai Wu had become like this, she was a little angry.
She began to raise Bai Wu, and as long as Bai Wu recognized her as her daughter, she was willing to provide Bai Wu with good food and drink.
In the real world, Violet really hopes that Bai Wu can be her father.
Well World Violet will only become more perverted.
The story then began to develop in a strange direction. Sequence One and Sequence Two could never have imagined that in such a cruel city, Bai Wu would go from being a beggar to becoming Violet's father.
In this way, Bai Wu’s survival will not be a problem.
This time, the time passed very quickly, and Bai Wu spent a full eleven years in there.
For eleven years, Bai Wu had been kept by Violet in the manor.
It is worth mentioning that during these eleven years, Bai Wu seemed to have recovered some things. He no longer stuttered when he spoke, and gradually he was able to say some words that made Ziluolan think deeply.
At first, Violet just regarded Bai Wu as a toy, a "Dad toy" for children to play house with.
But later, Bai Wu's performance became better and better, and he could even control Ziluo Lan's character, get some rewards, and learn some things about his past. Of course... Ziluo Lan also knew very little.
Violet also knew that White Mist was gradually becoming smarter.
She also knew that Bai Wu seemed to be able to use her, and she would often realize this belatedly.
But she really couldn't bear to expel the white fog, and her possessiveness towards it even grew stronger.
The wiser Bai Wu behaved, the more reluctant she was to let him go.
Bai Wu really wanted to leave here. He wanted to know more about himself. As he continued to "recover", the belief in living in his mind became stronger and stronger.
Bai Wu always felt that someone was waiting for him, and that there was a group of people who were very eager to see him.
But he couldn't remember it. Sometimes he would think about it so much that tears streamed down his face late at night, but he just didn't know the source of his sadness.
He longed to leave here and find those people. He thought they were in this city or somewhere further away.
He longs to leave, but is always held captive by Violet.
He also gradually understood that Violet was not a lovable child, but a... child who lacked love to the point of being abnormal.
Zhong Xu's child probably had some crazy genes. The more he regained his past wisdom and judgment, the more he found this girl annoying.
But in order to survive, Bai Wu had to endure it.
He finally got a chance.
The animals in the mechanical zoo begin to run wild, causing the entire city to fall into chaos.
As the rules continue to twist, all creatures in the city become violent.
The emperor-like Violet finally began to suffer a crisis.
The huge mechanical dog began to destroy the city crazily.
It is the most terrifying ghost story in the entire Baichuan City. Wherever it passes, its destructive missiles will destroy everything.
On this day, Violet's manor was attacked by artillery fire. Violet was about to leave with White Mist. The manor had to be put on hold temporarily to let this ugly monster dog vent his anger.
But just when she thought she could leave quietly, the huge strange dog discovered them.
It rushed towards Violet madly. Violet was a fallen being after all, so it was not difficult for her to escape, but she could not run with Bai Wu, whose physical strength was not even as good as that of ordinary humans.
In the end, this filial daughter lost her second father.
She was actually a little sad because Bai Wu was the best toy and much more fun than the others.
She looked back, probably expecting to see the giant dog tearing the toy apart with her own eyes.
That feeling of destruction makes her angry, and she likes to be angry.
But the following scene did make her angry and confused.
There was no mechanical monster dog tearing apart the beautiful picture of her father. Instead, the mad monster dog lay down as if it had suddenly seen its owner!
Its mountain-like skeletal body, when it lay down, was about one-third the size of a manor, and it seemed as if it was trying to rub the white mist with its nose.
Later...
Things became out of Violet's control. What she could not accept more than her father being destroyed was that her father was taken away by someone.
She shouted angrily, but Bai Wu had already ridden on the giant dog's head and sat down on a flat part of its skull.
Bai Wu seemed to be the owner of this dog. At this moment, Bai Wu couldn't believe that he was so close to death, but a miracle happened again.
He realized that he was finally free to go looking for the people he longed to see but could never remember.
And the giant mechanical dog, as if it could sense Bai Wu's desire, began to run in a certain direction.
Bai Wu's journey has entered the next stage. After conquering the giant mechanical dog, Bai Wu has become a new legend in Baichuan City.
In the ranking of ghost stories, it even surpassed the Weird-Faced Ogre, the Lord of the Free Men, and the Mechanical Menagerie.
Sequence One and Sequence Two looked at each other in bewilderment as they observed all this.
In that world of yellow sand, they watched the white mist gain freedom and realized one thing.
It will take many years for Bai Wu to regain his memory, wisdom, cognition, and many other characteristics.
But this doesn't mean that Bai Wu is no longer special. The things he changed in the past have become the cause and effect of his survival...
The giant mechanical dog Xiao Jing took Bai Wu away from Baichuan City. Outside Baichuan City, they found a hospital...
As time goes by, the sound of a young girl's laughter can always be heard from the hospital where the horrible monster lives.
It was a very hearty laugh.
During the time when Bai Wu was imprisoned, his last journey was to accompany the monster-like girl in the hospital.
There seemed to be some kind of guidance from somewhere, asking him to fulfill his unfulfilled promise.
…
…
Reality. Baichuan City.
The sound of Lang Lang reading can be heard on the campus of Baichuan City.
Occasionally, vehicles pass by on the streets outside the campus, and the shops on Xuefu Street are doing booming business.
The steamed bun shop was emitting mouth-watering white steam, and children and office workers were queuing up to buy breakfast.
It's just that some of the monsters with strange shapes do make people... lose their appetite.
But everyone still endures it. This year, the "Law on the Protection of the Rights of Evildoers" has been updated again. Evildoers will protect humans from distorted influences, so people are not allowed to discuss the appearance of evildoers in public.
Of course, the law is not only for evil.
Once the emotion meter exceeds a certain value, an alarm will be sounded and points will be deducted. Evil people with low scores can only appear in the marginal areas of Baichuan City. Therefore, the cultivation of evil people is a science, and there are even special tutoring classes for this.
Baichuan City is a bit crowded during peak hours, but the weather at seven o'clock can soothe the boredom in people's hearts.
Time soon came to the weekend afternoon, and in the toy store of the shopping mall, the children were choosing their favorite smiley masks.
In the bookstore next door, a somewhat slovenly boy was walking in the corner of the latest weekly comic serials, looking at the bookshelf with shining eyes.
He looks gentle and harmless, and perhaps a little cowardly in life, but he gives people the feeling that at a critical moment, he has the courage to risk his life for someone.
The comic story of the masked monster has been serialized to the twenty-second volume, and he is buying the latest issue, which is very exciting.
The author stopped updating the comic last time. When the second-generation masked monster gathered his companions to deal with the fat man in the color domain, Hydra and its subordinates at that time issued a passionate cry... The author announced that he would go out to collect materials this week and would suspend publication for a week.
This also led to high sales of the new issue of the comic.
The boy flipped through the comics with a smile on his face:
"I'm going to be on stage in this episode! I miss it so much!"
There was a smile on his lips, but the smile seemed inconsistent with his youthfulness. At this moment, he seemed to have become older, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
But the smile quickly disappeared:
"Shit, are you kidding me... I bought it just to read the story of the nine-tailed fox sister in the color domain, but the author actually mosaiced this part!"
"Chen Shuyue's split body has no clothes... It's superfluous! How can it have clothes?"
The boy's youthfulness became greasy at this moment, and then a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed his ear.
"Lin Rui, you want to die, right? Do you want me to call Chen Shuyue out and let her split apart for you to see!"
The girl with the black cat glared at Lin Rui, and Lin Rui raised his hands:
"Hahahaha, I was just teasing you on purpose. You're so cute. Don't be so cute next time."
…
…
There is a small town in the northwest of Baichuan City. There is a cafe in the town. In the cafe, an elegant, charming, and almost perfect man sits in a corner, quietly looking at the people coming and going around him.
Occasionally, a girl would try to chat up this man, who could be 20 or 40 years old, but he would just smile and shake his head. One look would put people off.
He seemed to be appreciating the scenery of the world, but occasionally he would become lost, just for a very brief moment, and then his mood would switch back and he would become that absolutely perfect man again.
The waiter at the cafe thought that this person should be entertained for free because his personal charisma could boost the store's business.
But sometimes... he would catch the moment when the man's eyes changed, and in the tiny gap... it seemed as if there was a huge loneliness.
"You said that man... was waiting for someone?" The waitress and another waitress whispered.
"I don't know, but he's not as perfect as he appears. Did you notice that he has a tattoo on his wrist that looks like the Ten of Spades in a playing card? Could he be from some gangster?"
"Shh, how can you say that to a customer? What's wrong with having a tattoo? As long as he looks handsome, it's fine. It's not on his face."
The waiter was talking quietly. At this time, the man with the Ten of Spades tattoo on his wrist suddenly received a message:
"Teacher, I am Cain. That thing does exist! It is indeed what you said about something engraved with sequence text... This is really an amazing discovery. With Lao Zhao's submersible, we entered the depths of the sea."
"There... seems to be an earlier underwater civilization. This is consistent with the laws of biology. The earliest organisms all came from the sea, and the origin of the distortion may be hidden in the depths of the sea!"
"Based on what you taught us before, we can confirm that the number on the top of the stone slab is indeed zero! The legend may be true!"
As he read the messages, the sadness in the man's eyes turned into cunning. He seemed to have instantly turned back into the fraudster who wove lies.
…
The scene changed again, and an accident occurred in the city.
Absolute beauty does not exist, as if this city is no longer troubled by distortion, but is still troubled by human nature.
Crime always happens, but it is always easy to stop.
"Ah, I can beat a hundred people like you, you know that? You ugly guy who's learning to rob people, holding a broken 54, you think you are invincible? Do you want me to buy you an AK, and a rifle for your little brother, so that you can become bigger and stronger and create more glory?"
"After all, there are evil people in our guard team. Using such weapons is really disrespectful."
The police officer who looked like a woman kept talking non-stop. Although he and the cold-hearted woman on the other side were both the best-looking people in the police force, they had completely different personalities.
"Okay, take him back for interrogation. Don't waste time here. Use your time and energy to patrol more." The crimson figure represented that the person who was speaking was an evil person.
The leader of the guard turned out to be Evil, which puzzled the criminal.
However, just after Evil gave the order with great dignity, a phone call rang.
The moment he saw the caller ID, the tall and thin figure's face changed and he took a breath.
“Hahahahahaha, boss, didn’t you forget your sister-in-law’s instructions again? Hahahahahaha…” The rather feminine police officer laughed.
Even the cold woman beside her smiled.
Once again, the Baichuan City Guard easily captured the criminal.
But once again... The captain of the guard team forgot his girlfriend's instructions because of his work.
The man with a feminine appearance kept talking:
"Captain, I heard that the law on marriage between evil and humans is likely to be passed this year. It is said that a female councillor in Sanchez City fell in love with an evil creature with tentacles. She wrote in detail on her blog about the unexpected and novel experiences that a Cthulhu-style boyfriend can bring..."
"Even some speculative businessmen have smelled business opportunities and started to create various special props that promote the emotions between humans and the evil. Tsk tsk tsk, why do I feel that the world has become more distorted... Human XP is really strange."
A sharp knife hit the man's neck:
"He's quite efficient, but unfortunately he's got a big mouth."
After the crimson figure finished speaking, it turned into a stream of light.
…
…
In the city's science and technology park, scientists in suits are telling reporters about their new developments.
"We have established a cooperative relationship with the Mechanical City. After unremitting efforts, the city lord of the Mechanical City is finally willing to help us with technology. I believe that in the future, ordinary humans can rely on technological products to fight against distortion."
On the huge electronic screen behind the podium, scenes of the Mechanical Empire flashed by.
Pictures flashed one after another, causing the reporters in the audience to exclaim...
Because everything in the mechanical city is too sci-fi, some reporters even questioned on the spot whether it was a fake image produced by the Unreal 6 engine.
In one of the pictures, a figure with silver hair was seen in the reflection of the metal.
His figure appeared above the metal, looking extremely lonely.
He was like a king standing tall above metal and machinery.
Only a very few people knew this king, but people were immersed in a bright future.
Because as technology continues to advance, the gap between pure humans and twisted creatures will continue to narrow.
Although the relationship between humans and evil is gradually becoming harmonious, everyone knows that only those who hold power can achieve true equality.
The Mechanical City allows them to see this kind of equality.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
While people were immersed in the joy of development, in the cemetery in the north of Baichuan City, there were also people holding flowers and crying in front of nameless tombstones.
She is a girl who can't smile.
But she drew a clown costume, as if to commemorate a dead friend.
The clown makeup makes the corners of the mouth look like a smile, which is actually to make oneself ugly in order to bring happiness to those around.
The girl is very pretty, and even the clown makeup can't hide her beauty.
But she is not the clown girl holding a baseball bat in movies and TV shows, and her eyes are too soft.
Flowers were placed under the tombstone, tears flowed silently, ruining the makeup bit by bit.
In the end, even the smile of the clown makeup was slowly washed away by tears... the smiling face turned into a frown.
There is no absolutely beautiful world. This world is always accompanied by regrets, but that is also what makes it so real.
The girl, who could not smile, sang softly in front of the tombstone.
It was a song with a light tune, but she sang it with a sad tone. She would come here to sing a song like this every once in a while.
She was afraid that the name on the tombstone would be forgotten, and then that person would really die. Just like the woman on the ark, she was also waiting stubbornly, afraid that if she forgot, no one would remember those dead people.
Time passes by little by little, and everything will end with a sad song, and nothing will change.
The world is getting better and better, but she always feels that the happiest days were those when she was in the mental hospital on the third floor of the tower.
As the song ended, she stood up and prepared to go back as she did in the past.
But she suddenly heard the sound of clapping:
"It's nice, but it would be better if it could be a little more cheerful. How about you sing something more cheerful?"
The girl's figure suddenly stopped. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man suddenly appear in an inconspicuous corner of the cemetery.
At this moment, the girl thought she was hallucinating and her eyes were full of surprise.
Until that figure and the familiar face got closer and closer, until the other party spoke again, it seemed to awaken her whole world:
"I came back from hell after a lot of effort... Can't you be a little more enthusiastic?"
Big tears welled up in her eyes, all her emotions burst out at once, and the girl with clown makeup hugged the man desperately.
She didn't know if what she saw was real, nor did she know why she saw this person. She just hugged him tightly, afraid that everything would disappear.
The man patted her back, as if he knew what she was thinking. He smiled. This beautiful world, a world where distortions had not been eliminated but people were gradually becoming familiar with it, was even more beautiful than what he had seen in the illusion of the sequence.
Of course he couldn't miss such a world:
"Sorry for the long wait, Xiao Jiu, I'm back."
