Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1414 Tower of Babel

"Everyone thinks that we enjoy press freedom in the West, but in fact we in the West have the least freedom of press in the world. I have understood this truth from a long time ago. Press freedom in the West means reporting a bunch of messy and trivial entertainment news. Yes. , including the bad things you know about politicians, are all entertainment news for the public, making people immersed in all kinds of messy information and unable to think about the 'truth'. We are dealing with this day after day In the bombardment of entertainment news, we have completely forgotten that news should be serious things. What’s bad is that now everything is being turned into entertainment, politics, war, education, work, religion. Oh~ I am also falling, using entertainment To get your attention. I used to just find it funny, even enjoy it, but now I just feel angry."

Benner Nielsen was hiding in a Wenjie M9 in the underground parking lot, huddled under the car seat, breathing heavily and saying.

At the door of the car, Loren Gray shook the lights and camera, trying to create a tense and exciting atmosphere for Benner Nelson.

Benner Nielsen pretended to raise his mobile phone and used the camera to observe the situation outside the car window. Then he lowered his voice and said softly: "Come on, this live broadcast will let you see the true face of Lucifer, the great devil, and see the man who once gave the world What kind of person is a man who brings indelible pain?" He made a pause gesture, and Loren Gray immediately pressed pause. He stood up, squatted and jumped out of the car, "Change somewhere. .”

Loren Gray followed Benner Nelson back to the locker room. Benner Nelson found a cramped storage room, propped up the camera on a stand, pulled Loren Gray into the frame, and continued: "Sorry, we heard footsteps just now, and we had to move." He looked at Turning to Loren Gray, "Where did we talk about just now?"

"Speaking of what kind of person Lucifer is."

"Are you curious about Lucifer?"

"Of course. There shouldn't be anyone in this world who is not curious about Lucifer, right?" Loren Gray shrugged, "Although in everyone's impression, he is a big devil."

Benner Nielsen smiled, "As long as you get to know him deeply, you will radically criticize us media and agree with his actions. By the way, these videos are definitely not scripts, nor were they ordered by someone to shoot. , I risked my life simply because I’m fed up with this dirty world and fed up with those shameful lizard people pouring dirty water on a great idealist over and over again! FXXK!”

"Lizard man? Oh, boss, is this also allowed to be said?"

"It's already like this, there's nothing we can't say." Benner Nelson pretended to smile, "We might die anyway."

"I don't want to die." Loren Gray cried, crying very truly.

"I don't want to either," Benner Nielsen said to the camera, "but I'm desperate."

"Is it too late if we don't broadcast live now?" Loren Gray asked with tears in his eyes.

"It's too late." Benner Nelson shook his head with a wry smile, "You know? You definitely don't know. How could you possibly know that in 2025, I entered Admiral Alfred on the George Bush? room. This live broadcast can still be found on YouTube. When I left, I installed a bug in the room and recorded the conversation between Alfred, who was the fifth general at the time, and the first general. They decided Activate the 'Rod of God' to kill Xie Jili, the leader of the Tai Chi Dragon, and prepare all the god generals to carry out an all-round attack on the Tai Chi Dragon fleet. This war was not only started by our star gate, we also violated it first' Round Table Agreement', first sent divine generals to the battlefield. Tell me, what is the difference between this and the use of nuclear weapons against Tai Chi Dragon? And our official spokesperson lied repeatedly, saying that Tai Chi Dragon started the war first, and then jumped over the wall and crossed the red line. Let the divine generals go on the battlefield. This is really funny. At that time, Tai Chi Dragon only had one divine general, or the eleventh divine general, and what about us? And we, plus our allies, had a total of nine divine generals. Think with your butt, Tai Chi It is impossible for Longdu to send the divine general to the end first. But for such a big lie, no one in the whole world questions it! No, no one dares to question it!"

"Oh my God!! I always thought it was Tai Chi Dragon who made the first move."

"Not at all. Even the Sydney nuclear bomb incident was a big lie. The nuclear bomb was the 'Tsar' of the former Soviet Union and was not a Tai Chi Dragon weapon at all. I later made a three-part documentary, all about 'Twilight' Battle', I have tried not to mention the scandals that Stargate has done, but it is still required to be emasculated. People think that we are in a country with free press, but in fact we are not. Press restrictions are common here. But why doesn’t anyone feel that way? Because when sources of information and media outlets are aligned with entrenched power, then there’s simply nothing the public can do.”

"I know about this. You were under a lot of pressure at the time. In order to get the trilogy aired, your hair turned gray. You even asked me where I could find a suitable salon."

"Yes, I even had the urge to commit suicide. After all, I am an American." Benner Nelson pointed at Loren Gray, "Not just me, everyone on our team is from America. We I didn’t want to betray my country or my faith to report an Antichrist. But I later thought about it clearly. We must not forget a sentence in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu: Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. We people in the Western world have been deceived. You don’t understand Lucifer at all, let alone how East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Arabia, South America, and Africa view Lucifer. If you understand the thoughts of those countries that have not been hit by nuclear attacks, you will understand how they view Lucifer. His views are not as advertised in the news. Not only do they not dislike or hate him, they even worship him! Only then will you realize that whether the other party dropped a nuclear bomb is not as important as you think."

"really?"

"Yes." Benner Nelson nodded, "Lucifer did deprive many people of their lives, but after Stargate handed over its hegemony, people's living standards rose instead of falling. Dirty, crime and inflation are moving away from their original state. For those backward regions and countries, the war not only did not affect them, but benefited them from it. At this time, we are still sparing no effort to propagate to them that Lucifer is a 'devil'. We are still doing our best to propagate to them, and we must focus on The whole world is coming to suppress him. We have spent so much energy on propaganda and trying to unite everyone, but who dares to really take action against Lucifer? Our organization is constantly investing and asking for funds from the people. However, they only shout slogans and never dare to take action. This is what our media and elites do to us. They are like ostriches burying their heads in the sand, thinking that as long as they promote Lucifer as the devil from hell, they will destroy mankind. , Lucifer will die, and the world will return to its original order."

"Can I still go back?" Loren Gray asked appropriately.

Benner Nelson said with a sad face: "I can't go back."

"Boss, there are people up, down, front, left, and right now! You have to find a way to move!"

The urgent and heavy breathing of Fat Pete came from the headset, but Benner Nielsen was extremely calm. He calmly put the microphone into the headset and said: "Pete, what did you just say?"

Pete, who was confused, increased his voice, "Boss, there are people above, below, behind, left, and right of you now! You have to find a way to move! This is not the effect of the show, I'm serious."

"I know." Benner Nelson said to the camera, "I have to turn off the camera temporarily. I don't know if I can survive, but Gray and I will try our best to convey the truth."

After saying that, Benner Nelson quickly turned off the camera, grabbed Loren Gray's arm, and pulled her out of the storage room. Quickly running to the dressing room where they hid for the first time, he pressed her into the middle of the blue iron wardrobe near the window.

"Hey! Gray, do you know why I brought you here?"

"Isn't it because I am your apprentice?"

"Of course this is an important point, but it's not everything." Benner Nelson took off his live broadcast equipment and stuffed it into Loren Gray's arms. "I have a skill called 'virtual 'Body', this skill is useless. It can recreate a person one to one for three hours, but this person has no attack power and no autonomous consciousness. It can only execute my orders."

"so what?"

"I'm so sorry, I made a copy of you without your permission!"

"Ah? When did it happen?"

"About a year or two ago!" Benner Nelson answered quickly and briefly.

"Why copy me!"

Benner Nelson shrugged his shoulders, "This is not important. What is important is that I will lure them away and then be caught by them on purpose. In this way, you will be safe for a period of time. Remember to follow Pete's command and escape." !" He took off his shielding ring and snapped his fingers, "Come out! Virtual body."

The air fluctuated a few times, and several colorful DNA helices began to spin and weave in the air. In the blink of an eye, a woman who looked exactly like Loren Gray appeared. She had her eyes closed, wearing a set of leopard-print sexy lingerie, and her hands She holds a leather whip inside and a leopard tail stuck out from the back, like a mannequin in the Victoria's Secret display window.

"Oh my God!" Loren Gray put her hands on her head, "Why is she still wearing something like this?"

"I almost forgot!" Benner Nelson lifted Loren Gray out of the closet again, "Hurry up and take off your clothes for her!"

Loren Gray wasted no time. He quickly took off his clothes and threw them at the feet of the avatar. At the same time, he did not forget to ask angrily: "You haven't explained to me why you copied me? She is still wearing this kind of clothes."

Benner Nelson stuffed Loren Gray into the closet again, "It's too late to explain. You can continue the live broadcast later!" After that, he rushed out of the room without looking back.

Loren Gray slammed the closet door shut, and the world fell into darkness. Soon she heard gunshots, explosions and footsteps. She grabbed the camera in her hand and breathed in the gradually collapsing silence. becomes extremely clear.

She first missed the time when Benner Nielsen was still around, and then remembered something he once said to her like a flash of inspiration.

"Most of the hits are due to accidents, but accidents are not all accidents. Accidents can be created."

She suddenly understood this sentence as if by heart, and immediately began to brew her emotions. When tears overflowed, she immediately raised the camera and started recording while choking.

"Teacher, teacher, you went to distract those people to save me. Now I'm the only one left here. I'm alone. I'm scared. Very scared. I don't know who is looking for us, and I don't know what will happen next, but it must be those who don't want to People to whom the truth is spread.”

-------------------

"what happened?"

Rebecca was the first to notice something strange about Cheng Mo, and she dared to ask, "What's wrong? Brother Sailen?"

Cheng Mo came back to his senses, calmed down the huge waves in his skull, looked up and down at the dazzling crystal pyramid in front of him, and said softly: "There is an identical building in the Garden of Eden, which is the entrance to the labyrinth of the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Chartres. 'The entrance. In the legend, as long as he reaches the center of the labyrinth, he can become a brand new person and be reborn a second time. And if he is favored by the Creator, he will find 'Jacob's Ladder', which is what is said in the Bible It describes a ladder that leads from earth to heaven. If you climb the ladder, you can reach God directly and obtain salvation.”

"Oh~ no wonder this place is called 'Heavenly Road'." Rebecca said with sudden realization.

"Can I ask Lord Lucifer a question?" Li Rongxuan asked carefully and softly, like a timid rabbit.

Cheng Mo glanced sideways at Li Rongxuan and said with a smile, "Of course."

"It's okay if you feel embarrassed and don't answer."

Cheng Mo nodded.

"Has Lord Lucifer ever climbed the ladder to heaven?"

"Mounted."

"Then you really saw the Creator?" Rebecca asked in surprise.

"No." Cheng Mo shook his head, "But I got a chance. A chance to get a new life."

"What do you mean? Do you mean going back to the past? Or becoming another person? Or something else?" Rebecca asked curiously.

"It's an opportunity to change your life." Cheng Mo whispered, and he stepped forward towards the crystal pyramid flowing with white moonlight, "Let's go! Let's see if we can see the Creator by climbing the ladder to heaven this time. "

Cheng Mo passed Nicholas and Rebecca and walked into the crystal pyramid first. The familiar feeling came over me, and it was still the sudden feeling of weightlessness, as if I stepped into a vacuum, and countless stars fell like rain, disappearing in the blink of an eye. When the remaining light dissipates, a sense of being on the ground is introduced into the brain, and the endless high walls, bottomless cracks and stars in the sky also come into view. The scene transition is like a movie transition.

A few seconds later, Nicholas, Rebecca, and Li Rongxuan appeared next to him.

Nicholas looked up at the endless towering walls and the gap like the entrance to the abyss, and took a breath, "This is different from what we walked before."

"It doesn't matter." Cheng Mo said, "Just follow me."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the passage that seemed to lead to hell, walking slowly and slowly. Although the stars in the sky are bright, they seem to be covered with a thin layer of mist. They are not beautiful at all, but make people feel gloomy. In addition, the tall stone wall soaked in coldness in front of me stood like endless tombstones under the dark and cold sky. It seems that this is not a maze, but a group of tombs where ghosts and gods are buried, solemn and gloomy.

Before entering the maze, everyone felt a sense of transcendent oppression, like a group of villains who mistakenly entered the world of giants. If they were not careful, they would be trampled into mud by the unpredictable giant. Several people followed Cheng Mo's pace, and no one dared to fall behind even half a step.

The moment they entered the maze, the slightly loose line suddenly tightened up. Several people leaned towards Cheng Mo, especially Jiabao. They stood next to Cheng Mo almost unscrupulously, wishing they could become him. pendant.

This move aroused Li Rongxuan's dissatisfaction, and she calmly took a step forward, seemingly wanting to get closer to Cheng Mo, but in fact she pushed Jiabao away.

Jiabao gave in a little, but did not give in completely, and secretly competed with Li Rongxuan.

Cheng Mo was unable to notice the small movements of the two women, so he stopped for a moment and said, "Don't be too nervous, and you don't need to follow too close. Just be casual and don't fall too far and nothing will happen."

After saying that, he ducked into the maze. The walls inside the maze were inlaid with dense weapons, such as spears, heavy swords, and axes. There were all kinds of weapons. These shining weapons were often inserted between a white withered skeleton. On the wall, these huge skeletons usually have three pairs of wing bones, and some of those slender bones hang down from the wall, like vines. Some are embedded in the walls, like fossils. There were more weapons and bones on the ground, covering the wide corridor between the walls. Looking around, this place looks like an ancient battlefield of the gods.

Cheng Mo cautiously took a few steps forward, and those bones that were more than ten meters high seemed to come to life. He pulled out the weapon inserted into his body from the wall, flapped his white bone wings, struggled and swayed and flew into the air. And the bones on the ground, in the green fluorescence that floated like will-o'-the-wisps, climbed up one after another, like skeletons standing up from the barren coffin after tearing open the tomb.

But for a moment, the high sky and the entire passage were filled with murderous angel skeletons.

Nicholas, who was following Cheng Mo not far behind, changed his expression, "FXXK, the four-winged death angel will only appear after the sixty-sixth step. Its combat power ranks fourth in the 'Land of Ancient Babylonian Ruins'. It is about to ascend." The mini-BOSS that only appears when you go up the ladder. Except for sacred skills, almost all other skill attacks are immune to it. We generally don't fight it head-on, we just slow down and keep distance to escape."

"How can you run away with so many?" Jin Zhuji shuddered, "I looked at the guide for this thing, and it said that the angel type is here, and it is difficult to beat it even with the sacred type skills."

"Believe in Lord Lucifer." Garbo waved his fist and said delicately, "Come on~! Come on~!"

Li Rongxuan didn't speak, and stared at Cheng Mo silently, full of confidence.

Cheng Mo sighed and thought to himself: "Holy skills? What a coincidence. I happen to have the most powerful sacred skills in the world."

He stepped forward again, and the death angels crowding in front, like zombies that had smelled human scent, all turned their heads, with red light flashing in their dark eyes, and they ran towards him. At the same time, the angel of death covering the sky swooped towards him like a flock of crazy birds. The whole earth and high walls were shaking, and the air was filled with the roar of tearing and crushing. In an instant, the two torrents merged into one. The buttocks filled the wide passage, like an irresistible huge wave of bones, rolling towards the group of people.

The few people behind him, except Li Rongxuan, all subconsciously lit up their energy shields and raised their weapons. The Bharat brothers, who were originally standing in the middle, calmly moved to the end.

Cheng Mo, who was at the front, continued to move forward slowly, facing the huge waves of white bones. He raised his right hand, and a ray of pure light jumped out from his palm. "It's so interesting. This world has the most powerful and sacred person." The one with skill is a devil.”

Seeing that Cheng Mo hadn't made any moves, the tail vertebrae of the people behind him tensed up. At the moment when the violent waves were about to swallow him up, both the Bharat brothers turned around. However, the next second, the "Seven Sins Sect" in Cheng Mo's hand suddenly surged, like the fierce sunlight that killed all darkness, instantly filling the entire passage. In the dazzling light, layers of white bones and flaming firewood appeared. After burning, it turned into fly ash in a moment and turned into green light spots, like dandelions blown up by the strong wind, floating towards the gray-blue sky.

The world was silent, as if those angels of death had never existed or appeared.

Several people were speechless.

"Follow me."

Cheng Mo didn't look back. He jogged first to give others time to catch up with him, and then gradually accelerated, but he controlled the speed and always maintained a pace that Li Rongxuan and the others could keep up with him.

After passing the first corner, the same gorgeous and shocking scene was staged again. Watching Cheng Mo destroy the enemies they couldn't defeat as jelly beans, the group slowly turned from shock to habit, and then from habit to relaxation. It felt like joining a sightseeing group.

Jin Zhuji, who was bored, opened the attribute board and shivered greatly, "This experience value grows too fast, it's scary!"

Jaiswal also quickly opened the attribute board, shaking his head with great satisfaction, "It's great to have big hands to guide you!"

"Lord Lucifer is truly the number one in the world!" Jiejie also said with emotion.

"Aren't you guys boring? Does Lord Lucifer need you to lick him? Just be quiet and let me lick him alone!" Jin Zhuji said.

"Jin Zhuji, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person?" Jiabao sneered, "Does Lord Lucifer need a stinky man like you to lick him?"

"Oh, you mean you're coming?" Jin Zhuji said angrily.

"What's wrong?" Garbo smiled like a nymphomaniac, "I'm willing to give everything I have for Lord Lucifer."

"Jia Bao, didn't you tell me just now that you are a concubine who only likes to watch men with men and doesn't like normal men, so why don't you add me on WeChat?" Jaiswal asked full of resentment.

"I am willing to change my sexual orientation for Lord Lucifer!" Garbo said confidently.

"You can also jump left and right?"

"Be quiet!" Rebecca scolded with a frown, "Don't interfere with Brother Salem's operations."

"Instructor, you are calling Master Lucifer so affectionately. At first, Master Lucifer asked you why you called you 'Bloody Mary'. That's not how you answered. What did you say? If you have time to spare, why not think about how to write the epitaph instead? Inquire about the privacy of a female instructor who is not familiar with you." Garbo joked.

The ignorant sister nodded hurriedly, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Instructor Bloody Mary even asked Lord Lucifer if he knew how to be polite!"

Cheng Mo turned his head and smiled to help Rebecca, "It doesn't matter, I am indeed a person who is not very polite."

Rebecca blushed and explained softly: "I named it 'Bloody Mary' because, the boss lady. No, it was Sister Gao Yuemei who said that the Montreal Bloody Mary you made is particularly delicious. This is your first time The cocktail made for her was the Bloody Mary."

"Is that so?" Cheng Mo turned his head and said calmly, "I have already forgotten about this."

"Oh." Rebecca said, "At that time you were still an ordinary gladiator. Because you were short of money, you worked as a bartender at the Yinyan Bar on Jiefang West Road for a long time."

Nicholas interjected: "Haha, Rebecca has always loved to hear stories about her boss since she was little. I remember when she couldn't sleep when she was a child, she would pester me and ask me to tell her how I met you at K20. Every time As soon as I said that, you grabbed me and pushed me against the door of the train, and I was so frightened that I almost wet my pants, and she kept giggling!"

"I know I shouldn't, but it's really funny." Rebecca said with a happy smile.

"K20, what is K20~ Can you tell me about it?" Garbo said enthusiastically, "We are also very interested in Lucifer's past!"

Rebecca hesitated and asked, "Brother Salem, is this allowed to be said?"

"It's not a secret." After a pause, Cheng Mo said meaningfully, "Maybe someone wants to tell you."

Rebecca thought Cheng Mo was referring to Li Rongxuan and Jiabao, so without thinking too much, she spoke vividly, "That was about twelve or three years ago, and I was still a six or seven-year-old child. Nicholas is a member of the Ennos skinhead gang. He boarded the train from Moscow to the capital because he wanted to rob God's genes. Brother Seren and sister Hier, who were still high school students under the crown of the Holy Virgin, were the ones escorting God. Genetic people.”

"And Your Majesty the Holy Maiden?"

Brothers Li Rongxuan, Jiabao, Jin Zhuji and Barat exclaimed in unison.

"Not only Sister Hiyer, the Queen of Saints, but also Napoleon VII and the Clown Sith! As well as the chosen ones from major organizations around the world!" Rebecca said.

Nicholas nodded, "At that time, Lord Lucifer was still a level 0 gladiator, and the Holy Maiden was an ordinary person, not even Ouroboros."

"Oh my God! Say it! Say it! This story has all the elements, it's nice, I love listening to it!" Garbo raised his hands to his lips and screamed excitedly.

Li Rongxuan's eyes also glowed with brilliance, staring at Nicholas and Rebecca.

Nicholas coughed and began to talk.
------------------

"Boss, our broadcast truck is also surrounded! What should we do?"

Fatty Pete's anxious voice buzzed in the earphones. Benner Nelson almost wanted to turn off the call, but he endured it for a moment. He held up the laser gun and leaned against the wall and said, "What should I do? How the hell do I know what to do? Look. This can only go so far." He quickly glanced at the three-dimensional map. There were red dots in all directions. He had no way to escape. He exhaled and said helplessly, "Surrender first! We can only surrender. All hope goes to Gray."

Benner Nelson couldn't hear Fat Pete's answer. The only sounds in his earphones were the whistling of bullets, the dull sound of collisions, the sharp sound of brakes, the bursting of tires, and the shrill sounds of various objects shattering and deforming. Across the radio waves, he seemed to be able to see that the tires of the broadcast truck were hit by bullets. The truck with its rear wheels exploded tilted its huge body, shook wildly, then snaked, then jumped onto the crosswalk, and crashed one after another. Several street lamps finally fell on the roadside.

"Fat man? Fat man? Fat man?" He shouted desperately.

Fatty Pete's moans were heard among the noisy signals, but they were far away, as if Pete had lost the ability to move.

Benner Nielsen was distraught. There were more than a dozen employees on the broadcast truck. For the first time, he regretted his recklessness. He originally thought that those people would only target him, but he didn't expect that the other party was so cruel that he even wanted to get rid of his entire team.

"Speak! Fatty! What's going on with you over there!?"

There was no answer, the signal was disconnected directly, and the door to the room where Benner Nelson was hiding was kicked open. He hesitated for a moment, then immediately raised his hands and walked out of the luxurious bathroom in the VIP room with the virtual man who looked like Loren Gray. Got out.

"Don't shoot! I surrender!"

Benner Nelson hung the laser gun on his fingertips and stared in the direction of the door. The fallen wooden door fell on the carpet, and both sides of the door frame were full of black muzzles.

"Don't shoot. I surrender!" Benner Nelson repeated loudly, "She and I are both American citizens. I have notified our embassy, ​​and I still need to speak to your person in charge."

The room was quiet for a few seconds.

In the deathly silence, the firelight danced, and several rows of fiery bullets were thrown towards him and Loren Gray's avatar like the whip of death.

"It's over. The other party is here purely to silence us."

Benner Nelson only had this thought in his mind.

This thought shot through his head one step ahead. ———————————————————————

The story is long, making the twists and turns of the maze seem short.

Cheng Mo was familiar with the road and led a few people up the spiraling ladder. After crossing the high wall of the maze, there was no sudden sense of enlightenment. Looking up in all directions, there were angels of death waving white bone wings. They were like a huge cover, hovering around the ladder. As they continued upward, the death angels began to flow faster. They shot out thousands of streams of light from their eyes, pouring towards Cheng Mo and the others like a torrential rain. Then the bottom became tighter and tighter, turning from the pot lid into a tornado of bones, sweeping towards them.

The doomsday disaster-like scene made it difficult for others to move. Cheng Mo lit up the shield and covered everyone in it, blocking all skills and protecting them as they continued to climb up. When those death angels came over overwhelmingly, he popped up the "Seven Sins Sect", and the boundless light expanded from his hand, like the exploding sun, washing the sky clean, making the sky clear after the rain. clear.

Nicholas and Rebecca's narrative paused for a moment and then resumed. The voices of two people singing in harmony hovered between the high stairs, like fairy tale songs full of fantasy. He looked up at the silent starry sky. In the deep blue, the Milky Way was shining like a school of swimming fish. But it didn't take long before the deep lake-like sky was covered with bones and snow. He sacrificed the "Seven Sins" again, and the bones fell like snowflakes.

He didn't know how long he had been climbing. When he climbed to that level, he only heard the end of Nicholas's story amidst the cold and bleak wind.

"The train was completely broken into several pieces and dumped on the shore of Lake Baikal. Her Majesty the Virgin and Rebecca were buried in a pile of sharp steel. At that time, Lord Lucifer was only level 0, very weak, and had no Among the few available skills, you can only use the 'freeze ray' to reduce the activity of the metal molecules in the train steel plates, and then break them into pieces bit by bit."

"At that time, Sister Hiyer withstood all the impacts in order to protect me. She was almost broken at the waist. She was bleeding all the time, but she kept comforting me. But I was still very scared. I could actually feel Hiyer. Sister Er was also very scared, and I kept crying until I heard Brother Salem’s voice, and I was no longer afraid, and Sister Hiyer seemed to have come back to life from the edge of death.”

"I don't know what kind of skill it is. I think a nuclear bomb explosion is nothing more than that. Napoleon VII and the clown Sith were instantly killed. After the light dissipated, the world became extremely refreshing. I have lived by Lake Baikal since I was a child, but I have never experienced it. Seeing Lake Baikal that is so bright and so clear, the boss with blue eyes is like a girl in first love holding the saint with a halo of light, as if he is lifting her up from the Milky Way, and the stars are like water droplets. It was dripping from her body."

In Nicholas's voice, the angels of death disappeared. The sky covered with a layer of gray gauze washed away the lead, and the blue was exceptionally clear. The stars embedded in it seemed to have been wiped hard and became translucent. Just like in a window covered with blue velvet, the string of crystal lamp beads that light up and go out repeatedly make the scene extraordinarily gorgeous.

Cheng Mo looked up and saw a white cloud like a frozen lake floating high in the sky. The long ladder extended in, as if passing through the frozen white ceiling, opening up another unknown space.

He lowered his head again, but there was nothing. Nicholas and the others were gone, and so was the ladder to heaven. Only a flight of steps remained, like a fuse that never returned, glowing in the vast and solemn darkness.

This scene was so familiar that it made his heart tremble and feel trance-like, making him wonder if he had never walked out of that maze and that his previous experience was just a dream. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued walking upward. Soon he reached the bottom of the clouds. The icy lake clouds looked like shiny thick snow. He climbed the last step and reached above the clouds. He looked around and realized that there were no clouds under his feet, but real snow, and he was on an endless snowfield. The sky has become low-pressure, and the end of the snowfield is filled with fluffy pink, as if the sun has just set. The fluffy pink gradually fades until it meets the light blue star-studded night, like a scene rendered by fantasy. painting.

And under a round pale yellow moon, there stood a small wooden house with a pointed roof. Rounds of warm halo appeared in the glass boat of the small wooden house, like a warm yellow record spinning on a gramophone. And every time the halo dissipated, a string of familiar notes jumped into his eyes, igniting the old time that had just been narrated by others, and turned into clusters of fireworks, falling on the apex of his heart.

He walked through the deep snow towards the wooden house, one step at a time, he walked faster and faster, and gradually started running. Powder-like snowflakes rose up, like broken light, staining his hair and shoulders, blurring his vision.

When he was about to arrive at the wooden house, he slowed down. The lattice window seemed to be embedded with the summer sunset. In the orange light like oil paint, a familiar shadow was reflected on the white wall.

His movements froze for a moment, and then as if he was afraid of disturbing something, he suppressed his breathing and walked gently to the door, stopping in front of the wooden door painted with blue paint.

He knew what was inside and expected it, but for some reason, he still looked forward to it.

full of expectation.

Feeling uneasy, he held the doorknob, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and carefully knocked it with his knuckles three times, as if he was holding the hot fireworks in his heart.

Soft footsteps sounded inside the door.

After a few long breaths, "Zhiqua~~"

The door opened and a warm breath enveloped him.

————————————————————

One hand grabbed Benner Nielsen's arm, the other hand strangled his neck, and pressed his face against the wooden wainscot wall. Immediately, the solid wood wainscoting with patterns engraved on it became cracked and dented, and half of his face was embedded in it. The man behind him pressed his knee against his tailbone very hard, but the pain that the carrier fed back to his brain was not strong, but the posture was very humiliating.

"Where else can you run away now, my big internet celebrity!" He said in authentic American English wearing a Yilac security guard uniform, "Even the rats in the gutter can't escape like you. It's a pity that you met an expert mouse catcher today. .”

"Don't waste time." Another man held a cigarette in his mouth and stared at the giant screen TV in the room with a jammer. "The live broadcast is still going on. It seems that the repeater is not with him. It should be in the hands of Loren Gray. .”

"You've already caught him, but you're still worried that you can't catch an ordinary girl?"

"This is not the key, the key is to stop the broadcast." The man holding a cigarette looked at Benner Nelson, "Benner Nelson, except for your main body and Loren Gray, everyone else in your team has been arrested It’s time. You should know that it’s only a matter of time before this fight can happen and you can’t escape. If you think about yourself, your employees and their families, it’s best to tell Loren Gray to come out now and stop broadcasting.”

"Let me go." Benner Nielsen chewed sawdust and stuffed it into his mouth and whispered. "I'm still live broadcasting. I don't want the world's audience to see your ugly and dirty face and let me go immediately."

"Oh~oh~oh~I'm so scared! Big Internet celebrities, quick, quick, quick, let them beat me to death with their keyboard!"

A drill bit was drilled out of the knee of the man who was choking his neck. The drill bit made a sizzling sound and pressed against Benner Nelson's tailbone. A cold and sharp feeling came from the end of the bone, even if it was The pain that penetrates the body and drills the bones is unbearable.

Benner Nelson gasped, "You scum!"

"Scum?" The man smiled, "If you don't want to see the headline on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper, which is the news that an broadcast vehicle was involved in a car accident and all the members on the vehicle were killed, you know what to do."

The man holding a cigarette in his mouth added calmly: "You don't have much time to think about it, because someone is really seriously injured. Every second of delay is delaying the opportunity to save their lives."

Benner Nielsen felt desperate for his misjudgment. He thought that his fame would make the other party afraid to some extent, and the live broadcast and team were also his bargaining chips. He did not expect that the other party's attack was aimed at leaving no one alive. His body was twitching, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to think. He endured the heartbreaking pain, and his brain was racing, trying to find a chance to survive. So he said in a hoarse voice, pretending to be depressed: "Let go. Let me turn on the communicator."

"Don't be too smart"

"Bang~"

The sudden explosion made his head buzz, as if he had been hit hard by a thousand-pound hammer.

In his dizziness, a voice rang in his ears.

"It's okay, Benner Nelson."

He opened his eyes, and an incredible face appeared behind several colorful DNA helices.

"you you you."

"Yes, it's me. Are you surprised?"

"Is it cold outside~"

Xie Minyun raised his hand and patted the snowflakes on his hair and shoulders, and asked with a smile, his tone was as relaxed as an ordinary day.

"Well, it's a bit cold." He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and answered casually.

"Then come in." Xie Minyun turned and walked towards the table by the window, "Drink a cup of hot chocolate."

Cheng Mo stared at her and sat down. In the backlight, she was like a black silhouette on the window. Outside were the rugged snow-capped mountains, which were like snow-white dams surrounding a lake with floating ice. The tiny stars swayed randomly, like white flowers floating in the blue lake.

He was not familiar with this window, but he was very familiar with the scenery outside. He remembered the ups and downs of the snow-white mountains, the position of the Big Dipper like a dagger inserted into the blue velvet curtain, and the frozen The lake is like a hypnotized princess lying in the arms of the mountain. I still remember that the illuminated planet candy was inserted by the lake, just like the beautiful hairpins inserted in the white bun of Sleeping Beauty.

"Okay." He closed the door gently and walked towards the window.

The wooden house is not big, but it is very warmly decorated. Next to the stone fireplace is a bookshelf that reaches the ceiling. Next to the bookshelf is a wooden rocking chair. The rocking chair is covered with a blue blanket embroidered with "Doraemon". Then there is an old-fashioned beech piano lying horizontally. On the side of the piano is a pot of white chamomile, with two oil paintings hanging on it. On the left is Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" and on the right is Andrew Wyeth's "Christina". "The World", both paintings are in gray tones, with loneliness, expectation and vague uneasiness hidden in the thick and sticky colors. The dying glow and the firelight of the fireplace cast interlaced light and shadow on the painting, piano and wooden floor. There is a round table covered with growth ring texture by the window. There are two beige ceramic coffee cups and a stainless steel coffee pot on the table. The hot steam coming out of the coffee cups rises towards the chandelier on the roof and disappears in the orange In the halo.

Xie Minyun was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and straight jeans. She was sitting by the window. She placed her hands on the round table, supported her flower-like chin, and stared at him quietly.

Cheng Mo sat down and stared at her, as if admiring the photos taken on film under the light of a darkroom.

The sound of two people breathing replaced the sound of the wind, filling the small room.

He knew that Xie Minyun was here. Compared with the previous waits, this year was not long. But he still had the feeling that he had finally reached the other shore after passing through a long stormy sea.

Xie Minyun naturally picked up the coffee pot and poured him a cup of steaming chocolate.

"I like snow the most. Because no matter how ugly the place is, it will become beautiful with a thick layer of snow."

"You said it last time," Cheng Mo said, "that you like winter and snow."

"Have you ever told me? It doesn't matter." Xie Minyun lowered his head and stirred the dark brown viscous liquid in the cup with a spoon. "You can say it as many times as you like for something you really like."

"I don't like all extreme weather." Cheng Mo looked at the brown rocking chair by the fireplace, "But I especially like being able to lie in a rocking chair and read a book in such a room in extreme weather. For me, that's Enjoyed it.”

"No wonder you didn't look happy when I asked you to go to Finland."

"Well~~That's because actually I don't like traveling much."

"I know you didn't like it before because of your heart disease. Didn't you recover from your heart disease later? You don't like it either?"

"Yes, for me, playing was too energy-consuming in the past. I still yearned to walk around and see things. But later, when my illness recovered, I no longer yearned for it." Cheng Mo didn't finish his words. He paused, picked up the cup and took a sip of chocolate. The mild bitterness melted on the tip of his tongue, followed by a hint of rich and smooth sweetness. The delicious taste that was not greasy at all spread along the taste buds towards the brain, wonderful. Like some kind of slow, gentle touch.

"Why?" Xie Minyun asked.

Cheng Mo put down his cup and smiled, "Maybe it's because he has been wandering. Isn't it normal for a person with no fixed abode to not like traveling?"

Xie Minyun was silent for a while, then stood up. She casually picked up the coat and scarf hanging on the back of the chair, "I want to go out with you to see the Aurora again?"

Cheng Mo picked up the hot chocolate and drank it in one gulp, then put down the cup and followed Xie Minyun toward the door.

Xie Minyun opened the door, and the wind suddenly became louder. The howling cold wind raised her hair, and white snowflakes hit her head and face. She put on her coat and scarf, stepped on the soft snow, and walked towards the direction of Planet Sugar with one foot deep and one foot shallow. .

Cheng Mo didn't step on Xie Minyun's footprints and walked forward. He left new footprints next to the string of footprints she left.

"You remember that we started from the Christmas Village and drove towards Lemen River Park in order to chase the aurora. We watched the aurora forecast every day and thought about where to drive to see the aurora."

"Of course I remember. It was probably the most relaxing trip I've ever taken. I didn't have to think about where to go, what kind of transportation to take, or where to sleep."

Xie Minyun stopped, turned around and knocked Cheng Mo on the head, then put his woolen hat on his head, and said angrily: "Of course you don't have to think about it! I made the route planning, I'm the one driving, and I'm the one who booked the hotel! Do you know how tiring it is to drive every day?"

"It's not that I won't help. I don't know how to drive. You said you have already made plans for other things, so why should I bother?"

"Can't you discuss it with me? And then give me some reference points?"

"Don't I just let you go wherever you want? I don't want to disappoint you by not giving any advice."

"What's the point of losing interest?"

"According to my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you can see the aurora or not."

"Hello? You said you wanted to take me to see the Aurora!"

"As long as it makes sense. It's just like you don't have to buy a diamond ring to get married."

"Okay! Then you can't just chat with me as much as you want. If you don't want to talk anymore, just read a book and go to bed! Just let me drive alone. Also, I saw a place with beautiful scenery and said I wanted to go down and take photos. , do you remember what you told me?" Xie Minyun said angrily, "You said it was cold outside, so you didn't go down."

"What's wrong? I don't want to take pictures."

"Can't you help me take the photo?"

"Don't you have a selfie stick?"

"Can a selfie stick be the same as a person? And you can't accompany me?"

"Then tell me. If you don't tell me, how do I know you want me to accompany you?"

"I'm really going to piss you off!"

"Actually, I thought we still had more opportunities."

Xie Minyun stopped talking again, lowered her head and stood in front of the snowman next to Planet Candy. She bent down, tapped its red carrot nose, and said softly: "What an idiot." She tapped the snowman's forehead again. , asked in a low voice, "But you are so smart sometimes, and you are so cute."

Cheng Mo couldn't help but smile. Probably no one in this world would use "cute" to describe him, except Xie Minyun.

"I've always wanted to ask you." Xie Minyun stared at Cheng Mo, "What did you think of it then?"

"This started when I was a child. When I was a child, I couldn't go out to play like other children, so my father bought me a telescope and built a handmade stand for me. I was only four years old at the time, and he didn't think I I would be more obsessed with boring things like looking at the stars, but I was completely fascinated. As long as the weather was fine, I would clamor for my dad to move my small stand to the rooftop and use the eyepiece to look at the stars. From then on, I became interested in astronomy. Like Hawking, I became very interested in distant things because my body was restricted and I had some problems communicating with humans. Later, I read many books on astronomy and learned about stars, Planets, star clusters, black holes and the speed of light. I just realized that we actually live on a star. It’s so magical. At that time, I really wanted to fly to the sky, fly to the universe, and overlook the blue planet we live on. I was I have dreamed about it, the kind that looks through the huge round portholes, with solar panels and rough mechanical arms outside, and below are the stars and stars in the universe and a star like this." Cheng Mo looked up and looked at the six-meter-diameter planet. Planet Sugar, it is suspended in the lonely wind. Under the blue-black night, the sizzling sound of the motor is like receiving a telegram from distant time and space. It is about the earth, about the Milky Way, about the universe. , "Blue, gorgeous, like a candy-like planet."

"very nice."

Cheng Mo looked at Xie Minyun who was staring at him intently, "What's so good?"

Xie Minyun turned his head away and moved the candy on the planet that was about to stop spinning to make it happier. "I was also a weird kid when I was a child. I didn't like pop music but preferred classical music. I didn't like comics but preferred oil paintings. I didn't like TV movies and preferred watching documentaries. No. I like skirts, jeans, and T-shirts with physics jokes printed on them. My childhood dream was to become a world-famous scientist, the first woman to set foot on Mars, and China’s Carl Sagan.”

"Your goals are really ambitious." Cheng Mo said, "I've been thinking about whether I could be a librarian in the future and make a living. By the way, I could write some science fiction novels or something."

"You also like science fiction?"

"You didn't just find out today, did you?"

"I always thought you were the kind of person who hates fantasy and only likes to read serious scientific books."

"I think you are that kind of person. Look at the hobbies you just mentioned, don't they fit the stereotype of a woman who wants to be a scientist?"

"Really?" Xie Minyun sneered, "Who did you find your stereotype from?"

Cheng Mo pretended not to understand Xie Minyun's sarcasm, "Speaking of science fiction novels, I have read "Galactic Empire", "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and "The Three-Body Problem". I am also a loyal reader of "Science Fiction World"." He remained calm. asked, "Which science fiction novel is your favorite?"

"Which one is your favorite?" Xie Minyun asked instead of chasing after him.

"Let's take a guess?"

"The Three-Body Problem?"

"No, I don't like Liu Cixin's cruel setting, and I hate people repeating the phrase 'don't answer, don't answer, don't answer' like a repeater. I hope that when I open the telegram, it's a "message in a bottle" that says Boring greetings or trivial concerns show that aliens are just as lonely as humans," Cheng Mo said.

"I didn't realize you were still such a sentimental person."

"It's not that I'm sentimental, it's just that I've done too many bad things, so I don't like to read dark and heavy novels anymore."

"So you like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?"

Cheng Mo smiled, "My favorite is a children's science fiction novel. It tells the space adventures of a little boy. He has a robot toy called 'Planet Man' that can transform into a spaceship. Taking him to travel in space. I was so envious. I often looked at the stars and fantasized, if only I had such a robot toy. As I grew up and became more realistic, my dream became that as long as I could leave It would be nice if the starry sky was closer, from a library satellite that belongs to me, to a mountain that belongs to me, to just a top floor."

"You are so contradictory. You say you don't like traveling, but your dream is to have a spaceship that can take you around the universe."

"It's different. If I had such a spaceship, then it would be my home. Traveling everywhere with my home, stopping and leaving whenever I want, would be a pretty good feeling."

"It's pretty good." Xie Minyun said seriously, "Now it's up to you to guess which science fiction novel I like best. If you guess wrong, there will be punishment!"

"What punishment?" Cheng Mo asked.

"Guess first." Xie Minyun said, "Three chances."

Cheng Mo thought for a moment and said, "Hyperion?"

"I like Hyperion very much, but I'm not my favorite. I'm not as artistic as you think."

"'Space Divine Comedy'?"

"I'm not as good as you think." Xie Minyun drew three circles in the air with her hand, ". Sublime." She put down her hand and smiled, "I'm actually a pretty boring person."

"Ah~" Cheng Mo asked, "Then if you were asked to throw a drift bottle into space, what would you write on the note?"

"I would write some random thoughts. When I was happy, I got a big lollipop. It should be the biggest lollipop in the world. When I was unhappy, I would just write about it. I will think of that lollipop, it’s so sweet, so sweet, I can’t forget it.”

Cheng Mo was silent for a while, "Really?"

Step by step, Xie Minyun stepped out of the deep and shallow pits and walked to the planet candy. She raised her hand and flicked it gently. The blue candy began to spin slowly, like a real star, " To me, it is like a glowing buoy standing on the sea, a lighthouse shining with light. Whenever I want to cry, I will close my eyes. The moment darkness falls, I seem to It emerged from the deep sea, and you could see it when you looked up. It was so beautiful, and then I didn’t want to cry that much.”

Cheng Mo stared at the giant candy that was rotating slowly, and saw behind it, on the canopy like paper dyed blue with ink, the silky aurora dancing wildly in the silent wind.

"But I climbed up from the ladder and opened the door and saw it. I burst into tears at that time. I knew it was unreal, but I thought that as time passed and the years passed, there would still be something. , certain emotions stay where they should be. You can use it as a mark, and you can find it as soon as you look back. I saw the off-road vehicle running precariously on the wilderness, with the crimson glow shining on it. On your face, I am right next to you, I am so happy. I turned around and my parents were sitting in the back seat of the car. Everything I lost has returned to me." Xie Minyun looked at Cheng Mo, " Can you understand?"

"I understand," he said. "Of course I understand."

"I was happy for a while, and then became very scared. I was afraid that everything was just a dream. I thought, what should I do. I was afraid that everything would cease to exist when I woke up. This was so perfect and so happy. , I didn’t dare to make any noise, I was cautious, just because I was afraid of being discovered by the God of Destiny, and then I broke it casually out of boredom. I looked at myself and you, and at my parents in the rearview mirror, and I was so frightened." Xie Minyun The voice trembles in the ice-blade cold wind, like a self-confession when alone in the dark, or like a repeated chant when looking back at the condensation of fate.

"Don't be afraid." Cheng Mo was also scared and panicked. He had no idea which world or time and space he was in. He didn't know whether the experiences in his memory were real, whether they had become history, or whether they were recurring hallucinations. But No matter what, even though this was a maze full of dangers and uncertainties, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because he was sure that the girl in front of him was real, extremely real. So he made a decision, walked to Xie Minyun without hesitation, held her hand, "Then don't wake up."

Xie Minyun's eyes were filled with tears, "I'm not even sure if it's a dream now."

Cheng Mo smiled, "I'm not sure either." He pulled her towards the snow-capped mountains, "But it doesn't stop us from continuing to dream."
