Chapter 187 Continuation of Civilization

cold.

cold.

Liv, who was following closely behind the prime minister, couldn't help tightening her thin coat.

The black country is terrifyingly silent, only the whistling wind coils in the gap between the gears and pipelines, as if mocking this lingering abyssal civilization.

Laugh at its arrogance and destruction, its ignorance and weakness.

The cold wind chased Alger's pace, but the white-haired old man had already gotten used to the temperature here, and he walked towards the black tower in front with a solemn expression, like a pilgrimage.

But Liv frequently turned her head to look at the city behind them.

She looked blankly at the familiar city in her memory. When she was young, she walked across the corridor bridge between the buildings holding her mother's hand. The little girl happily showed off her newly bought dress to her father. Licking the chilled lolo melon with a drowning laugh.

She has a warm family, she has the time to grow up, she loves the white world, and she looks forward to a bright future.

It should be like this.

But now?

She saw that the muddy wind and sand flooded the abandoned ruined city, time abandoned the city built by giants, and the dead cold had already penetrated into the bone marrow of the earth.

It turned out that everything was a lie.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister Alger..."

Finally, Liv, who was speechless all the way, could no longer restrain the hesitation and anxiety in her heart.

Looking at the back of the old man, she stagnated little by little, and said in a shy voice: "The world we live in, the citizens of the White Kingdom... everything about us...is it all a lie?"

Alger's footsteps paused, he turned his head, and saw the young woman standing in the wind, she was biting her lower lip, her eyes were helpless and stubborn.

"Your Excellency, there is no bright future at all..."

Gradually, Liv's voice trembled: "So you have been deceiving us all this time..."

She was too young, too young to accept the world in her twilight years.

The old man fell silent for a long time, and the No. [-] administrator finally made his own answer.

"Yes, I am indeed deceiving you."

Alger said softly: "The Country of White is just the 'past' of the Country of Black...The administrators used the power of the Mechanism's furnace to jointly create the remnant dream of our civilization."

Liv's body swayed a bit.

"Forgive me... Liv."

The old man's eyes swept across the gloomy ruined city, and finally fixed on the young man's face: "You are a strong child, so I chose you."

"Choose?" Liv rubbed her reddish eye sockets, she failed to understand the meaning of Alger's words.

"A few words cannot explain the 'truth of civilization'."

Alger turned around and walked towards the tower again: "But as my successor, sooner or later you will come into contact with the responsibilities of a manager little by little."

Liv nodded half-understood, this time, she followed the footsteps of the old man.

Soon, the blowing sand covered the footprints of the two.

'Tower' is not a tower.

Thousands of years of time have engraved mottled marks on its body. Even though the body made of steel has undergone slight deformation, it still looks up at the dim sky unyieldingly.

It was as if angrily rebuking the light for receding.

But Alger knew that the 'White Queen' never died, it's just... the giants today can no longer bear the weight of activating it.

"Thousands of years ago, we fought against the black curse originating from the starry sky, you know, Liv."

The old man stared blankly at the body of the Star Destroyer Cannon, and expressed his own emotion. At this moment, Alger's calm eyes finally revealed a look of pride.

"The giant princess's chess game won. We used it to crush the dirty sludge that devoured the flesh and blood outside the sky, so the black plague was afraid of the giant's civilization, and the starry sky fled like a mouse crossing the street..."

"Since we are so powerful, why did the giant civilization turn into what it is today?"

Liv was a little confused.

"Because the mysterious power has weight, and we have paid the most expensive price for it."

Alger withdrew his gaze: "We thought that the giant civilization had conquered the rules of the abyss, but we were wrong."

He sighed: "We were dragged into the cemetery by unimaginable weight, and the coldness of eternity and nothingness swallowed us all."

"Then why are you able to create a seemingly thriving White Country?"

Liv was even more at a loss.

"Don't worry, you will understand soon."

The white-haired old man laughed silently, he raised his hand, and on the surface of the high tower covered with moss and rust, bright light outlined the outline of a door.

"Let's go, Liv, our next stop is the sun in the sky."

The old man pushed the door open: "That is the answer left to the world by the giant civilization, and it is also the anchor of our will."

'Administrator authentication passed. 'Accompanied by that somewhat hollow female voice, the dazzling light expanded again!Machinery and gears roar!

Liv closed her eyes subconsciously, but when she opened them again, she found that the world had once again changed drastically.

She saw a light golden mechanical corridor extending straight forward.

The metal wall glowed rhythmically. If you look closely, you can still see one after another small pipelines neatly embedded in the wall, leading to the end of the corridor.

The young man turned his head and found that Alger had closed the door, and the square silhouette disappeared on the wall without leaving any traces.

"We took a shortcut."

The old man clapped his hands lightly, and walked forward: "The area ahead is where Princess Betty is, you have to be prepared mentally."

"I...I understand!" Liv nodded quickly and followed up again.

All the way without words, gradually, the awe from the blood emerged in the heart of the young man, and Liv realized that this was the ancient royal court of giants.

And the giant's new king is waiting for him at the end of the journey.

She couldn't help getting nervous.

The mechanical pipelines in the pale gold walls became more and more dense, until the shocking golden hall came into Liv's eyes.

The giant princess in golden layered gauze sat quietly in the center of the hall, but...

At this moment, Liv's eyes widened.

She saw countless continuous mechanical pipelines extending from the walls of each corridor, and they were intertwined with each other, converging towards the princess like snakes.

—and penetrated her spine in a seemingly brutal way.

The princess was fixed in place.

Thousands of years have passed...

Seeming to have noticed the gazes of the two, the giant princess opened her mouth slightly, and the hollow voice echoed in the hall.

'Welcome back to Mech Heart, Administrator Seven. '

The country of white stays in the beautiful past, and the country of black clings to the hopeless future.

Civilization lives on.
