Li Muye came back again and again to find Sir Barton. The underground city is a boring world, and this is perhaps the most interesting place in the underground city. Brother Ono has some problems locked in his heart, and the key lies with Sir Barton. This old magic stick is very difficult to deal with. It is not easy to borrow from him.
The two sat facing each other in silence for a while.
Sir Barton smiled and asked: "Have you encountered new trouble?"
Li Muye nodded and asked, "Do you have any wine?"
Sir Barton said: "Now is not the time for negotiation. There is no free wine, and the wine I have here is not cheap."
Li Muye said: "Bring me the most expensive bottle."
"The most expensive one costs three thousand marks a bottle."
The wine came, and Li Muye asked for two glasses.
"Alcohol will destroy a person's will." Old Barton said to Li Muye: "You should not use alcohol to drown your sorrows at this time."
As a collaborator, he was a little worried about Li Muye's sudden abnormal state.
"Drink less and let's chat." Li Muye said: "I have something to ask you about the potential research center on the eighth floor."
The Japanese came for this potential center, and the Margaret brothers and sisters most likely did the same, and now Bai Qi is also crazy about this place. How can Li Muye rest assured if he doesn't understand what's going on there
"What's there to ask about there? There are only a bunch of fighting lunatics inside." Sir Barton said angrily: "That old lunatic Schroeder claims to be the god of science, but he can't even figure out where people came from, so he hopes to Through these people, discover the secrets of human evolution."
The matter was definitely not as simple as he said. Li Muye asked again: "How would Schroeder conduct experiments on them?"
"What else can be done is to let them fight each other, then collect data, give them medicine, use them as experimental mice, and stimulate their evolution." Barton said with ridicule, "That lunatic can only create killing machines. , never think that you can create a Shinto master who has completed evolution."
"Can you listen to your tone?" Li Muye filled a glass of wine for him and drank first as a token of respect.
"Have you ever heard of a Japanese named Abe Qingkong?" Barton picked up the cup and drank half of it, saying, "If you know this name, you should know his abilities."
Li Muye asked unconsciously: "Has he ever received your guidance?"
Barton nodded and said: "Years ago, Abe Qingkong came here as an important guest of the Nanshan Club. He was a very talented and powerful young man, stronger than anyone I have ever seen. At that time, he had no potential. At the research center, Schroeder firmly believed that the half-human, half-biomorph Locke warrior he created was enough to defeat all the strong men in the world, so he made a bet with me that I would create the strongest human warrior to fight against the strongest biochemical warrior he created. , the bet was that I had the freedom to do anything within the confines of the dungeon, but Abe Qingkong cut off the head of the so-called strongest cyborg with just one knife."
It turns out that old Abe has such an awesome past in the underground city.
Barton continued: "Schroeder was not discouraged after his bet failed. The Potential Research Center was established from that time. He has always wanted to find the secret of the evolutionary limit of the strong human beings, hoping to use this as a basis to create a new biochemical system. People."
Li Muye said: "After all these years, he has not created a Shinto master who can rival Abe Qingkong?"
Barton's eyes flashed, he rolled his eyes at Li Muye, then looked at the mark on the table, and said: "You are also one of the people who have mastered the secrets of evolution. You should know that such a person is not created by a pile of data and drugs. ." He suddenly brought the topic to Brother Xiaoye.
Li Muye said alertly: "You think highly of me."
Barton shook his head and said: "I think it's just the opposite." As he said that, he drank the remaining half glass of wine. He seemed to be a little drunk, shaking his body and said: "Your strength is not as good as Abe Qingkong, but you are still The last step of evolution has not been completed.”
"That's how far I've come." Li Muye said with a smile.
Barton said: "No, as long as you believe in me, I can help you develop a stronger potential limit..."
This is a huge scandal. Li Muye originally wanted to trick him, but now it seems that Old Barton is brainwashing Brother Xiaoye.
"Another bottle of wine." Li Muye took the initiative to change the subject of discussing his own strengths and weaknesses.
Brother Xiao Ye has been traveling around the world for twenty years and has always been low-key and obscene. This kind of being put on a altar is what he dislikes the most. This old Barton looks nervous, but in fact he is as wise as the ocean inside, with a hidden edge in every word and deed, and his mental level is by no means inferior to that of Bai Wuxia. In front of this hero who doesn't know whether he will be an enemy or a friend in the future, Ono naturally hopes to know more about the opponent's trump cards and expose less of his own.
When the wine came, Li Muye filled it up for himself and him respectively. He first raised his glass to toast, and then asked in a humble tone: "Mr. Barton, what do you think of spiritual power and dark matter energy?"
"This is a sensitive topic. Mental power is the ability produced by the sublimation of human spiritual will, and dark matter energy is the key to the evolution of all living matter. Once a person sublimates mental power, he can self-observe and sense the dark matter in the body. Energy." Sir Barton was drunk and seemed to have no scruples about telling the truth while drunk. He continued: "Spiritual power can be accumulated and increased through meditation. When a person's power of thought can affect the surrounding dark matter energy, With the foundation for evolving to the next level, as long as you gather enough dark matter energy with your mind, you will have a chance to complete the last step of evolution."
"It sounds very exciting, but as far as I know it's a dangerous process."
"Talent is the key." Barton said: "Dark matter energy is a key factor in the birth, growth and evolution of all organic life. However, if it is taken in too much and exceeds the tolerance limit, it will cause harm. Therefore, those individuals with better talent foundations have successfully evolved. The chances are greater.”
Li Muye did not want to discuss the evolution of theology and spiritual practice with him. He only mentioned this matter to divert the previous topic. These principles have no guiding significance for Li Muye's level. Mr. Wu once said that everyone’s talents are different and the path they take will also be different. At Brother Ono's level, no one can guide him on how to proceed.
"Mr. Barton, do you remember what the outside world is like?" Li Muye jumped out of the topic again and had another drink with him.
"Of course, I was forty-one when I came here. That happened one hundred and four years ago." Sir Barton said: "I was a traveler at that time, and my family took the eagle as its totem. , we advocate freedom and strength, and before I came here, I had traveled almost all over the world.”
This is a sad thing. The eagle is trapped in the dark underground, losing the freedom to fly, and only its body is left in life. What kind of painful experience does it feel for a traveler who once walked freely around the world to not see the sun for more than a hundred years
Li Muye couldn't help but feel sympathy for him when he thought of this, and immediately woke up, secretly reminding himself that this seemingly harmless child in front of him was actually an old monster who had lived for 145 years. The destructive power is definitely on Bai Wuxia's level. If you are dealing with such a person, you will fall into his trap if you are not careful. He raised his glass and said: "Drink."
Sir Barton did not hesitate and drank the wine in one gulp. He seemed to be very drunk. He shook his head and sang the family war song.
"The goshawk flies over the high gorge, overlooking the river and passing through the forest. The sun shines on its golden wings, that is the light of freedom..." He became more and more excited as he sang, and suddenly jumped on the table and shouted: "Sunshine , water, air, earth, the great eagle family has them all, come on, brothers, fly freely." In the end, he broke down in tears.
Li Muye looked at him and wondered to himself, was this old turtle pretending to be drunk and going crazy with me, or was he really getting drunk and feeling something? Thinking carefully about the conversation just now, it seemed that every word he said had a profound meaning. When he talked about the potential center before, he clearly deliberately held back. He also brought the topic to himself, and in turn tested Brother Ono's background. Then when they talked about theology and spiritual practice, Old Barton deliberately showed off his knowledge, but now he was playing the emotional card.
From the first word spoken when they met, Old Button has been trying to control Brother Xiaoye. He did not control the content of the conversation, but rambled a lot, except that he did not explain in detail what happened in the potential center, and this was exactly what Li Muye wanted to know most.
He sang this distant and desolate song with a childish voice, and actually sang out the sad emotion in it. Those with poor spiritual cultivation can easily be infected by him and unconsciously develop sympathy and respect for him.
At this point, Li Muye was able to confirm that Barton was not drunk. He was having a spiritual confrontation with him. His mouth is his weapon, and every word he speaks is a bullet. Whether it's singing or crying, it's just his way of hypnotizing people.
Li Muye looked at him quietly, and after his performance was over, he asked casually: "Old Barton, do you have any children?"
"No." Barton asked with an unhappy look on his face: "Look at me like this, do I look like I can have a child?"
Li Muye chuckled and said, "You were not born like this. I thought you were married before you got here."
"Fuck the marriage, fuck the woman." Barton cursed angrily.
"You don't look like a great master who has mastered the mysteries of theology for thousands of years."
"Fuck the grand master, fuck the theological mysteries." Barton suddenly opened his pants, showed the little thing, stood on the table and peed in front of the blonde outside the glass door.
Li Muye looked at the little thing that was not yet mature. No wonder he didn't like the word child. For a once majestic man, what could be more tragic than the degeneration of this thing without any degradation in psychological needs? matter? Thinking of this, Brother Xiaoye sighed and said, "You don't have to feel too bad. After all, few people in this world can live to your age."
"Hehe, I know you are very good at dealing with women." Barton suddenly turned around and gave Li Muye a strange smile. Their eyes met, and the two of them felt the unshakable will in each other's eyes. Barton continued: "Mr. Li, let's all be honest. I can't shake your mental will, and you obviously can't get the answer you want from me for free, so what I want to say is, if you want For anything you get from me, you must first be prepared to pay the price.”
"what do you want from me?"
"I want you to open your spiritual world to me and become my believer!" Barton's eyes flashed with a strange light, staring into Li Muye's eyes, and said: "As long as you open your guard and accept me as your faith, I will give you Strength, knowledge..." This old boy is trying to use his spiritual consciousness to use hypnosis on Brother Ono again.
"Your asking price is too high, and I don't even bother to burn incense for a real Buddha, let alone a fake Bodhisattva like you." Li Muye was almost bewitched by him for a moment, but he quickly regained his will and beat him rudely. After finishing his words, he stood up and said, "What kind of secrets are hidden in that place? Forget it if you don't want to tell me. The worst I can do is go in and take a look myself."
PS: I had something to do last night and drank too much. It’s so embarrassing. I owe two chapters. I’ll make up for it when I have time. (End of chapter)
