Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 248 No.20 Nine Acts of Necessary Justice

Along the way, they have seen various creatures contaminated by dragon blood. This sea area is restricted by the bloody and violent rules of the dragon clan. Every creature here is half dragon, including themselves.

"That embryo should be in the polar abyss below, and it is an extremely powerful ancient species. During the incubation process, it continuously releases secretions rich in genetic information. The secretions attract various marine creatures and rewrite it. Their genes have mutated them into dragon subspecies." Chu Zihang said, "We have entered the territory of that ancient dragon."

"I think they are close to the Divine Burial Hall, and the video information has been sent." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"I've seen it, it's really a miracle in the world." Masamune Tachibana sighed, "There is no doubt that something is nourishing that sea area, not the embryo, but the corpse of the god. Success is not far ahead. Put the burial place of the god from If the world is completely wiped out, the Sheqi family will not need to preserve the remains of the god.”

"Dad, I've been thinking these days, we have to master the greatest violence in order to live a peaceful life, right?" Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a few seconds before asking this seemingly irrelevant question.

"Are you suspicious?" Tachibana Masamune asked.

"I can't say I doubt it, but I'm just not completely sure yet. Blow up the Divine Burial Hall and end the fierce ghosts. This will require a lot of bloodshed. I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe we want to use violence in exchange for peace, but when we master The greatest violence, we become the ones who deserve to be wiped out." Yuan Zhisheng said softly, "Dad, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Not everything that is right in this world is just, and not everything that is just is necessarily right." Tachibana Masamune said, "Children, have you ever heard of a sophistical proposition?"

"Where the railway bifurcates, there are warning signs on one side of the track because the train will pass here, but there are no warning signs on the abandoned track on the other side. Now the train is coming, and I am standing by the fork. The train is going to pass. "There are a hundred kids playing on the tracks, completely ignoring the signs, and there's a lone kid playing on the abandoned tracks because he behaves himself."

"You can pull the switch, but do you pull the switch? If you don't pull the switch, then a hundred children will die. These are a hundred disobedient children; if you pull the switch, the train will go from that side of the track. If you pass it, you will only run over one child, but it will be an obedient child."

"Zhisheng, can you pull the trigger?"

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned.He couldn't answer this question. It was a damn sophistry. Which was more important, obedience or life?If the fork in the road is not pulled, how should the parents of a hundred children face the sadness when they come to the scene?Is it because they are a bunch of disobedient children that they deserve to die?

But if he pulled the trigger, how could he bear to let that lonely, obedient child die?He did nothing wrong, and maybe he pointed at the warning sign to remind everyone not to get close to the railroad tracks over there... How could he let that innocent child die?

"Time is over. When you were thinking about whether to pull the trigger, those hundred children were already dead." Tachibana Masamune said lightly, "You didn't make a choice, you just watched everything happen."

"Dad, if it were you, what would you choose?" Yuan Zhi asked hoarsely. He felt that he did not have the power to decide life and death for others.

"I will pull the trigger. Although I kill one child, I save a hundred. In this way I am the Sin-Eater. I do the right thing, but do evil. I eat the sin, so Others can be kind and innocent.”

"So I'm sure." Masamune Tachibana said slowly, "If my decision is wrong, I will bear the responsibility alone. You don't have to think too much, child. Even if it is a sin, it is also my sin. You have been a child since you were a child. A very kind boy, I know you just can’t bear my loneliness.”

"How can the head of the eight Sheqi families be lonely? There are many people surrounding you, and they are proud to be scolded by you."

"A warrior will not feel lonely just because hounds surround his horse. The only thing that can make a warrior feel less lonely is another warrior."

"But Dad, not everyone is as ambitious as you and yearns for some great goal. Some people have exhausted all their strength just by living."

"Actually, I'm just a hunting dog in front of your father, and I'm still a hunting dog who just wants to leave you and go far away."

Yuan Zhisheng hung up the phone and put on the headset again.

……

……

The rock formations below seemed to have been split open by an incomparable giant weapon, leaving scars thousands of miles long and flowing out golden blood.

"The external water temperature is 224 degrees." Chu Zihang said, "Although there is an insulation layer, if we continue to approach the surface of the magma, we may not be able to bear it."

"It's still a sauna now, and if the temperature rises, it will be roasted suckling pig." Lu Mingfei wiped off the sweat from his brow.

The scene in the cockpit was a little chaotic. The Caesar team was almost naked. Everyone was sweating profusely, and their buttocks seemed to have been burned and stuck to the seats.

But Chu Zihang still wore his belt and the long knife.

"What is that..." Caesar muttered.

A huge tower!It stands on a gentle slope next to the crack in the ground. The tide of magma rises and falls not far from it. The dark tower body is reflected, and the tower body looks like an iron tire that is about to melt.

"That can't be human," Caesar said hoarsely.

"Impossible." Chu Zihang said, "It is absolutely impossible for humans to build such a giant tower in the deep sea of ​​8600 meters."

"Dragon City?"

As the Diriast moved forward, a majestic city appeared at the end of the field of vision, looking like the Kingdom of God!
After crossing an undersea mountain ridge, the ancient city below spreads out like a picture scroll.

Chu Zihang sketched on paper and drew a map of the city.The layout of the city can be vaguely seen. Vertical and horizontal avenues divide the city into different districts. In the center of the ruins is a circular square like the ancient Roman Colosseum. Starting from it, four imperial roads lead to the southeast, northwest and northwest.

In the center of the square stands the huge tower originally discovered. The tower has complex relief patterns, and there are sharp spikes that are tens of meters long on the top of the tower. There are similar spikes on the tops of other buildings.Looking out, there are dense thorns below, like thorn bushes of pig iron.

At this point in the painting, Chu Zihang suddenly stopped writing.

"What did you find?" Caesar asked. "This city has an obvious trunk and roads, with a clear layout. There are candles holding torches in the sacrificial platform." Chu Zihang whispered, "This shows that this city was probably originally built on land. It sank into the abyss for some reason.”

"I'm not surprised by the city that sank to the bottom of the sea. After all, in ancient Greek mythology, Plato's "Dialogues" also described the city that was swallowed by the great flood and sank to the bottom of the sea, Atlantis." Chu Zihang continued. , "But here is an abyss of more than 8000 meters. What kind of power can sink a great city to such a deep seabed, and the Atlantis described in the "Dialogue" is already a dilapidated city with ruins and ruins. One is complete, but the integrity of the city seems to be quite high."

"Especially that weird tower." Chu Zihang said, "It was built next to magma and soaked in water with extremely high salinity all year round, but it is as clean as new. There should be no such metal in the world, and those micro Plants cover the entire city but bypass the statue alone, which cannot even be explained scientifically."

Caesar piloted the Diriaste to cruise above the ancient city. "The oxygen storage is still sufficient. We map the city as much as possible, and then descend to the building to use the robotic arm to take some samples."

"But where is the main entrance of this city? We don't even know where the front is." He frowned slightly.

"You can tell by that tower." Chu Zihang looked at the huge black tower and said, "The entire city was built around it, so the center of the city's front should be on the straight line extending from its midpoint. The visual inspection is right under our feet, at three o'clock."

Caesar looked down in the direction Chu Zihang speculated, and then he was taken aback, the coercion exploded in his mind, and the austere sense of antiquity made him almost breathless, because he saw a very familiar architecture.

The building stands at their feet. The structure is quite simple. It consists of two thick pillars supporting Kasagi and Shimagi, and a kangaroo inserted between the two pillars. The white Shimenawa sways with the undulations of the sea. A torii.

"Call Xumizuo, call Xumizuo." He connected to Yuan Zhisheng's channel, "Did you see it? Did you see it?"

"We have seen that Norma and Kaguya are saving and analyzing the videos and pictures you sent back. What you have to do now is to control the camera to point in different directions. Every second of the video you take is priceless. This This is the first time we have directly observed the ancient dragon city." Yuan Zhisheng said.

In a few seconds, the photo was transmitted to the central control room of the headquarters and displayed on the big screen.

Manstein stared at the photos on the big screen in trance, and his face suddenly changed, "A door... a torii is a kind of door! Hell, they really saw the door underwater!"

Huge fear exploded in Schneider's heart.

Yes, the Torii is actually a gate, but like the Arc de Triomphe, it is a symbolic gate and is not connected to the wall, but it is indeed a gate because it distinguishes between inside and outside!

They were so immersed in the amazing discovery that they forgot about the door. Everything went smoothly, allowing them to let their guard down a little.

The story from 11 years ago is being replayed. Dive down, find the door, and move towards the door... The video shows that the Diliest is heading straight for the torii. In Schneider's eyes, the strange building immediately changed. It has become a huge twisted mouth, trying to swallow everything up.

"Don't get close, don't get close! Return! Return!" He shouted uncontrollably. The mental imprint from 11 years ago was too deep. At this moment, he couldn't control himself at all. "Driaste! Did you hear that? Immediately!" Return! Xumizuo, recover them! As the person in charge of the mission, I order you to recover them quickly!"

No one answered, the communication channel was eerily silent, Minamoto didn't speak, the Diriast made no movement, and even the Japanese branch's Kaguya Princess system didn't respond.

"Report to Professor Schneider, the Kazuki system and I disconnected all connections five seconds ago. All contact with the Japanese branch and the Diriast was interrupted. I am trying to repair it, but the Kazuki system is not responding. "Norma's voice echoed in the central control room, and Schneider watched in shock as the light spot in the Japanese Sea on the big screen went out.

"Damn it!" He punched the table, "What the hell are the people in the Japanese branch doing!"

"A special situation has been detected and the EVA system is being started..."

"What do you mean?" Professor Schneider looked at the transparent girl in the air, "Who are you?"

"I'm EVA." She floated in the center of the big screen, "Long time no see, Professor Schneider."

……

……

Above the Sumeru Seat, the cold sea breeze blew Yuan's childish windbreaker. His face showed an unprecedented hardness. Crows and Yaksha were sent to their respective positions to make final preparations. There was only one person left beside him. Under cherry blossoms.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhisheng said, "I heard that guilty people will be bitten by countless evil spirits after entering the Kingdom of Underworld, and they will spend eternity in hell."

"Do you think those three guys are good people or evil people? Will they be swallowed up by the underworld after entering the Kingdom of God?"

"I don't know." Sakura shook her head honestly.

"But no matter they are good or bad, it's too late to regret. We have no way back, right?" Yuan Zhisheng said, "Dad said that to achieve a great goal, someone must die, and some people must be sacrificed to save it. If more people can completely destroy the Divine Burial Hall with three lives, I am willing to be the one who sends them down with my own hands and bear all the sins."

"Young Master..." Ying paused, "Actually, you don't think this is a good deal in your heart. You should be a kind person. Kind people don't regard life as a transaction."

"No, Sakura." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "I have already made up my mind. From the moment I let the three of them go into the water, I have given up crawling back to the free puddle because I am the young head of the Sheqiba family. , Young Patriarch has a firm stand and has something he has to do."

"They have entered the Divine Burial Hall. This is a contest between humans and gods. I want to end everything here!" Yuan Zhisheng clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh. He was using pain to drive away the last pity.

"Planning begins!"

After giving the last order, Sakura saw Yuan Zhisheng's figure swaying slightly. In her impression, this man had never been so tired. He seemed to be walking farther and farther away from the road of his dreams, as lonely as... …Even the soul can’t be found.

"Do you have the necessary justice in your heart...?" She murmured to herself, "But do you really think so? You still feel guilty, because I know you are not such a person."
