Chapter 110 KING

Chapter 110 king!!

The bright moon...

This is a very moving name, just like the smile of a woman in the photo.

Lao Tian looked up at the smiling moon in the photo and spoke slowly. There was a hint of tenderness in his voice that he could not hear on weekdays: "I remember very clearly that when I met her, I was over 300 years old, and she was only seventeen years old. We ran to the West Lake to drink in the misty spring, and we chased the deer on the vast snowy snowfield..." When talking about this, Lao Tian seemed to be shining in his eyes, but then, the trace of his spirit gradually faded away.

"...I remember very clearly. I remember very clearly every day I met her. That period was the happiest time in my life."

Lao Tian's voice was very emotional, and then he whispered: "I remember once, on my birthday, she told me that she would celebrate my birthday every year from now on. Unfortunately... I lived too long!"

The last sentence "Living too long" is filled with a sense of sorrow and vicissitudes that Chen Xiao could not understand.

Chen Xiao looked at Lao Tian’s face silently and suddenly asked in a low voice: “Do you... love her?”

"I love it very much." Lao Tian nodded.

Then he seemed to smile: "I have been married several times in my life, but each time it is not long... Oh, I mean, compared with my life span, it is not long enough. Every time the woman I like will watch them grow old and die. Even my children and grandchildren grow old and die step by step... I think you won't feel this feeling."

At this moment, Lao Tian’s voice was very astringent and bitter.

"She is the last woman I fell in love with. She is also my favorite one. I have lived for more than four hundred years, not that I have never had other women, but... Mingyue is a special woman. She is beautiful and has charm that others cannot reach. She is a unique woman, a unique woman who cannot find the second in this world." Lao Tian said this and smiled bitterly: "Probably. Another reason is that I have never received her love."

What you can't get is always the best.

Lao Tian walked to the innermost window, took out an old and dilapidated wooden box, and took out a pocket watch from it.

This is a copper pocket watch with green copper rust on the chain and scratches on the case.

"This is mine... it is the first birthday gift Mingyue gave me." Lao Tian gently stroked the scratches on the case of the watch and said softly: "She said that every year on my birthday, she would give me a watch. Unfortunately, she died very early... But she asked her descendants to do this until the last owner of this watch shop left, I would get the latest watch every year on my birthday. But this one I have always cherished the most."

But Lao Tian put the old pocket watch back and shook his head and said, "This thing is so precious. I never want to leave it with you. I dare not leave it with you, so I can only hide it here quietly."

"Mingyue...she is a phoenix land..." Chen Xiao asked in a low voice.

But Lao Tian waved his hand and did not answer immediately.

"The story of Mingyue is the beginning of the whole incident." Lao Tian shook his head: "Even... the service club, the club, and many more... are related to this strange woman! If it weren't for her words back then... I'm afraid... the situation now wouldn't be..."

Then, Lao Tian pointed to the two old chairs in the store and said, "Sit down, I will tell you slowly."

He sat down first. He held the cigarette in his hand, then skillfully took out a lighter from the coffee table, looked at Chen Xiao, and smiled: "I often come here alone. When I am in a bad mood, I sit here and smoke two cigarettes, talk to myself, and feel like Mingyue is still with me. So, I hide a lighter here. Haha."

He lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. The blue smoke rose and Lao Tian began to tell.

"Mingyue was born in a wealthy family in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was in the Westernization Movement. When Mingyue was young, she was like a boy. She would never know what a lady should learn, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Later, her two brothers were sent to study abroad by her father. The delicate lady actually took a small bag and ran away quietly from home and got on a steamer." Lao Tian smoked and sighed: "It was at that time that I met her. At that time, I was doing something for the service club. I happened to meet her on that cruise ship..."

Chen Xiao suddenly smiled: "You said it like the Titani."

Lao Tian smiled: "She is a tomboy. In order to secretly go out, she deliberately cut her hair. She also learned to wear a dress and a pair of round glasses. However, her body was too slender and she could still be seen at a glance. Fortunately, she had a unique skill, just put on makeup." Lao Tian said, and couldn't help but feel a little bit excited. The cigarette between her fingers and the ash were left for a long time, and she fell on her own clothes without even notice.

Chen Xiao didn't interrupt his memories and just waited quietly.

After a while, Lao Tian sighed and shook his head: "I won't talk about this anymore. Actually... I was not the protagonist in that incident. Because the person she met on the boat... or in other words, the protagonist in her heart was not me."

After pausing, Lao Tian's expression became serious: "There was another man from the service club who was on the boat with me at that time. That man was at a higher level in the service club than me. I was just responsible for assisting him in that matter."

assist?

With an old monster like Lao Tian who lived for 400 years, his own strength is already unfathomable! Let him be an assistant? The identity of that man...

"He is k." Lao Tian whispered: "At that time, he was k. And, he was the youngest k in the service committee!"

His voice became bitter: "To put it bluntly, the encounter on the boat produced a love story. A rich lady who ran away from home met a man with a strange identity. And I... was just a bystander."

"We took Mingyue to Europe together. In Europe, after we finished our work, K accompanied her to travel around Europe, to Paris, London, Berlin, and Antwerp... At that time, the three of us were very happy. They were like three good friends. But I knew very well that in their hearts, I was a 'friend', but the relationship between them was not a 'friend'."

"K is a very special man. He is a firm organizational staff, loyal and extremely responsible, and has a natural sense of mission. He believes that the existence of the service club is to be responsible for guarding the world and grasping our direction... Haha, I believed these words in the service club back then."

"I believe that the love between them was pure at the beginning. Although I... I am willing to bless them. Mingyue is a beautiful woman. She is very kind inside. I think. She understands my feelings for her, but she never embarrasses me. She is very smart and knows how to handle things well. Even when the three of us are together, she always has a charm that can make us get along very happily. Although... at that time, K and I were actually colleagues, but not friends."

"But things changed. It was more than two years later. They got married in Paris. After getting married, K almost temporarily threw away all the things in the service club and lived with her in seclusion on the banks of the Seine. In those days, I often looked for opportunities to go to Europe for missions and often went to see them. They were always very happy and lived a good life. I remember that year. I went to Paris. It happened to be my birthday and she gave me a pocket watch. It was this. But one day two years after we met, when I went to Paris to visit them again, things changed. When I went to the place, they already had a child, but when I went there, I didn't see K, and she was the only one staying at home in Paris. Although she still smiled brightly at me, I could see that she was unhappy and was not happy at all."

"Why?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Because... Mingyue, she is not an ordinary person either." Lao Tian's voice was a little bitter.

"She is also a supernatural?" Chen Xiao frowned.

"No, she is not a psychic." Lao Tian frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I am not an expert in this area, but maybe I understand it so much. Mingyue's body's genetic genes hide some substance. If the partner she meets is an ordinary person, or other psychics, it will not produce any special results. But she encountered k."

Lao Tian smiled: "For example, the water component is h2o. Two different substances meet together, and a chemical reaction becomes a new substance. And that incident was a complete coincidence. I learned one thing afterwards: the genetic component in Mingyue's body is that it happens to have a strange mutation with the genetic component of K. The probability of this coincidence is very, very small. However, in the vast world, Mingyue met K, and at the same time fell in love, combined with offspring, and had offspring. At the same time, the descendants who inherited the genes of the two and combined the children who inherited the genes of the two, and then had a "chemical reaction". That is to say, their descendants are psychogenic people, and the supernatural powers are not simply inherited from K. Instead, some new changes that were incomprehensible at the time appeared!"

"K's superpower is to control time!" Lao Tian's voice was very serious: "This is a very powerful superpower, with almost no obvious weaknesses. K who has this superpower has a very high status in the service club. But as a result, their children, that is, not ordinary people like Mingyue, nor are they like K's time superpowers, but have emerged a brand new, very powerful new ability! This discovery made K, who was originally addicted to love and was willing to live in seclusion, rekindled the fanatical sense of mission and responsibility in his heart. Facing this new discovery, it seemed that he had found a 'new path for mankind to the future' - well, yes, this is what K said at the time, and in the face of my question, he answered."

"What happened...what happened?" Chen Xiao heard the deep sorrow in Lao Tian's voice.

Lao Tian snatched the cigarette, sighed, and then raised his head to look at Chen Xiao: "What do you think is the biggest weakness in life for humans today?"

Chen Xiao frowned. Although he didn't understand Lao Tiandi's intention, he still thought seriously: "Well... the individual is too fragile? The lifespan is short? Or..."

"I mean, all humans, including psychics!" Lao Tian said lightly: "For psychics, individuals are not fragile. Some psychics, such as me, have a long lifespan. However, even psychics with extraordinary abilities have the greatest weakness that cannot be avoided. All humans have this weakness."

“What the hell is it?”

"Inheritance!" Lao Tiandi said these two words firmly.

His speech speed began to accelerate: "Inheritance! The inheritance of knowledge, the inheritance of ability... and so on, everything! The inheritance of everything!"

Chen Xiao frowned: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Lao Tian looked at Chen Xiao's eyes, and his eyes were filled with a strange look: "Okay, let's say, a person. No matter how talented he is, it takes a long process when a person comes to this world from birth, from baby to adulthood, and then learns various external knowledge."

He smiled and continued: "In our modern society, a normal person has to receive more than ten years of education in school to learn a basic set of civilized knowledge, whether it is mathematics, physics, chemistry or other things. After studying in school for more than ten years, he only learned some of the most basic and popular things, those advanced and advanced knowledge. Only a few elites have the energy to study. For example, an ordinary college student will learn high mathematics in mathematics, but continue to move forward? For example, a college student learns physics, chemistry, but it is only some relatively low theories, which are far from comparable to professional experts!"

Chen Xiao frowned: "That's natural. After all, human resources are sometimes exhausted. It takes a lot of energy and a long time to study a field in a profound way."

"But, these knowledge are all knowledge that human predecessors have discovered! There are already existing things! But just to master the knowledge and civilization left by predecessors, human beings are no longer competent." Lao Tian smiled: "For example, Einstein's theory of relativity is also a knowledge legacy established by his ancestors, but for most people in this world, they cannot learn... Why? Because there is no time at all, or the energy to learn these profound things - even if it is simply inheriting the intellectual legacy left by his ancestors." Lao Tian shook his head: "I said that a person has studied in school for more than ten years. He can only master a small part of the most basic and most ordinary knowledge, and he cannot complete all the existing cultural knowledge legacy left by his ancestors. There may even be some terrible situations. That is, professionals who have mastered very profound knowledge in a certain field die, but then many of the knowledge in this field are no longer there."

He smiled bitterly: "For example, my children cannot learn all my martial arts with one sound. There are many things that I may be lost after I die. Even if I pass them down in written situations, no one can learn them. Just staying in writing is like losing them!"

Chen Xiao gradually guessed something in his heart: "Then, what you mean is..."

"Inheritance is a very troublesome thing. Nowadays, human civilization and knowledge inheritance can only rely on 'learning', spending energy and time, and it depends on talent. If you have good talent, you can learn more, and if you have poor talent, you can learn less. And it takes more than ten years to learn some of the most basic and ordinary things... For most people, how many decades can they have in their life? Inheriting by learning is too slow and the efficiency is too low." Lao Tian shook his head: "Especially in the era when K and Mingyue met, there were no computers in the world and no massive storage tools. Even the inheritance of knowledge can only be based on writing and printing... So, when K suddenly discovered such a new path, all the fanaticism in his heart was aroused!"

Chen Xiao swallowed and spitted: "So, the ability of Mingyue and K's children is..."

"Copy!" Lao Tian spitted out these two short words.

He looked at Chen Xiao again: "Thorough copy! Complete copy!! Copy all the abilities, knowledge, and wisdom mastered by his parents! Copy directly! From the moment he was born, he had strong knowledge and abilities!"

Lao Tian whispered: "That child is a girl. I saw her later. She was only two years old and could recite many Tang poems - these she never learned, but she would be born, because Mingyue recited them when she was young! She almost didn't have to learn, so she naturally inherited most of Mingyue and K's knowledge! She also inherited K's ability without reservation... Manipulating time! It can be said that she was like an adult wearing a child's body. In addition to being more childish in terms of emotions and emotional intelligence, she had reached the level of an adult in terms of IQ." He said, and smiled bitterly again: "It's like copying the content from one computer to another!"

Chen Xiao's eyes widened!

Amazing! This is simply amazing!

But……

Why……

Chen Xiao then began to frown.

Such a magical thing sounds very good, but why does it feel like a "very scary" feeling in my heart?

But Lao Tian closed his eyes.

He couldn't help but recall the day a hundred years ago, when he ran back to his home island angrily, found the k in the laboratory, and angrily accused him...

At that time, the man had a very cold face and resolute face. Faced with his accusations, he said coldly to himself:

"This is a great discovery! If I succeed, it will completely change the future path of mankind! Human beings will no longer have to spend more than ten years or even decades to learn the culture and knowledge left by their ancestors! Instead, they can directly inherit it! More time and energy in life can be used to explore! To explore, pursue those unknown new things! It will greatly accelerate the process of human civilization!!"

"What about Mingyue? What about your feelings! What about her feelings?"

"I don't have time!" K replied coldly: "For the sake of my mission, I am willing to give up a woman. I am even willing to give up everything about me! Feelings, life, everything!!"

At that time, Lao Tian pointed at the young girl in the laboratory: "Where is her? She is your daughter! Not a test subject!"

"I am no longer my own! What's more, my daughter!"

After sighing, Lao Tian started to touch his pocket again, as if he wanted to find another cigarette, but unfortunately he didn't find it, so he could only grab his hair irritably, then raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Xiao: "Do you know, what happened to that k, afterwards?"

"I think he must have failed." Chen Xiao frowned: "After all, his so-called inheritance has been around for a hundred years, but it has not been realized now."

"Hmph." Lao Tian smiled without comment: "So, do you know what happened to him? "

"?" Chen Xiao looked at Lao Tian.

"He is still alive now." Lao Tian sighed.

Chen Xiao frowned: "Like you...or Zhu Rong and others?"
