Chapter 271 Struggle is the core of life (6,500 words)
"Cheated me?"
"Black Gate City?"
Facing what these two people said calmly, a flash of surprise flashed through Xiao Xiao's heart.
This is an unavoidable emotion. After all, just now, he himself was doubting certain things and the arrangements made by Black Gate City. However, because of his ability to think explosively, he had this sudden feeling of suspicion.
, well hidden.
He still looked at the two people with a calm expression, and his expression was so calm that it made people wonder if he hadn't heard.
Slowly, slowly, the six eyes stared at each other in silence.
The two mysterious people who broke into the carriage of the high train seemed to be waiting for Xiao Xiao to show a surprised expression and take the initiative to ask some questions, but in the end, Xiao Xiao never did.
So the two of them could only hesitate for a moment, and then slowly and quietly said: "I know it will be hard for people to accept that we suddenly came to tell you this, but there is no need for the two of us to lie."
"Actually, this was a conversation that neither of us expected."
"I can only say that it is Kuang Juemin's luck that he found an heir like you. Although you have been going in the wrong direction, your execution ability is too strong and your influence is too great, which forces us to sit still no longer...
…”
"..."
"so……"
Xiao Xiao listened to their words and then spoke slowly: "You two, like Mr. An, want to stop the Noah plan in Black Gate City?"
These two people obviously have power beyond their imagination, they can break into the fantasy world of high columns created by their own will, and they are polite enough to be willing to give themselves something to exchange for the "ticket", no matter what they say, or
The attitude they showed made Xiao Xiao feel strange. Whether they were enemies or friends, they had to be sure at once. As for Black Gate City, it was undoubtedly the one who stopped Noah's plan.
We are enemies, but those who support or are even willing to join the Noah project are our friends.
So Xiao Xiao chose to ask this question directly.
"Prevent?"
This was obviously a very simple question, but it made the two of them seem a little hesitant.
They paused for a moment and looked at each other before the old man in platinum robe slowly shook his head and replied: "We are not interested in the Noah plan at all, whether it was when Kuang Juemin was alive or after his death."
"It's just that we don't want you to ruin our plan..."
"..."
"Your plan?"
Xiao Xiao's brows suddenly wrinkled: What is their plan? How will the continued advancement of Noah's plan affect them?
"young people……"
Seeing the confusion on Xiao Xiao's face, the middle-aged man in a black suit simply spoke and said calmly: "I can tell you frankly, the two of us didn't want to come over to see you because of Noah's plan.
Success or failure actually has nothing to do with the two of us. We just know that your plan is in vain. No matter what you do, it will be in vain. However, because you are so... so powerful, we are afraid that you will affect us instead.
That’s why I took the liberty to come over to see you..."
"Kuang Juemin died because he was on a wrong and paranoid path. We originally thought everything would end with his death."
"But who would have thought that just a short time later, you would appear again in Black Gate City, and your advancement of the Noah plan would be even more radical than when Kuang Juemin was alive..."
"..."
When he said this, he suddenly paused and looked at Xiao Xiao with a strange expression: "I haven't seen a young man with such executive ability like you for a long time..."
"But do you really believe that what Kuang Juemin left behind is the truth that solves all problems?"
"If what he speculated is correct, and what he left behind is the only way to salvation, then why has Black Gate City been making preparations alone so far, but has not received support or assistance from anyone?
?”
"..."
"Noah plan..."
This question came up again, and Xiao Xiao fell silent for a moment.
Ever since he took the position of president of Black Gate City with the consciousness of being treated as a puppet, Xiao Xiao began to implement the Noah plan.
During this period, he was asked countless questions, but some of them lied, some of them were confused, and he never gave a formal answer. However, in the process of executing Noah's plan, he was undoubtedly the one who contributed the most, and he got the old council.
The blueprints left behind by the emperor were hunted and killed by a secondary mysterious source as the keel, and the seven major components of the ship needed to complete Noah's plan were obtained. Even with the destruction of the city of Rest, even the faintly obstructed
The invisible restraint network promoted by Noah's plan was torn apart by himself...
However, Xiao Xiao has never been able to answer a question: Do you really agree with the Noah plan?
In other words, do you really understand Project Noah?
...You fucking don’t understand this!
Xiao Xiao knew how much material the old president had studied, and how he should build Noah now. He even knew that after building Noah, the next step he needed to do was to clear the channel and sail towards.
But how to clean the waterway?
When you reach the end, what will you encounter, what should you do, and what will happen after you do it?
…He really doesn’t know.
What the old president, Kuang Juemin, left behind was only a prototype. In addition, he also had too much information that was being covered up.
Because this problem itself has been bothering Xiao Xiao, he didn't even use his ability to think explosively to hide his expression.
…
"Eh?"
The two hitchhikers who boarded the train obviously had a little emotion in them when they asked this question.
Are you kidding me?
As the current president of Black Gate City, as the heir to Kuang Juemin, and as the captain who made Project Noah so popular, how could he not understand Project Noah?
But when they saw Xiao Xiao's expression, they were completely confused.
No way?
Then just when their expressions became a little weird, Xiao Xiao suddenly smiled lightly and said calmly: "I really don't understand, I just know how to build a big ship!"
"you……"
The old man in the platinum robe couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "If you didn't know, you still...have done so much?"
Xiao Xiao shrugged helplessly and said: "Anyway, I am idle."
"Fuck..."
This answer really made both of them a little nervous: Is this ridiculous?
This guy did so many messy things even though he didn't know much about Noah's plan?
You are crazy!
Just because I was idle and had nothing to do, I hunted down such a big mysterious source, and also destroyed the entire city of Xi'an. Mixed in were some gambling fights with the hell organization, some threatening Ye Di City, and some construction.
Not to mention setting up a wishing altar or something.
I don't know how many words accumulated in my stomach at once, but I couldn't say them out.
If another person said that he had done so many things without really understanding and accepting the plan, they would probably slap him in the face in anger.
But thinking about what they learned about the new president of Black Gate City during this period, and what he did...
...It still fits the character very well!
...There are always people who will destroy the world out of boredom. The one in front of me is just out of boredom and wants to destroy the safety and order in the circle of strangers. It can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
…
"But what if you don't understand?"
However, under their doubtful and tense expressions, Xiao Xiao slowly sighed.
He admitted to the two people he met for the first time that he did not understand Noah's plan, but he also sighed softly and continued: "It's better than not understanding anything and doing nothing, right?
"
He said slowly: "I once stayed in a small bedroom for four years. I couldn't do anything, couldn't go out, couldn't show a complete smile, couldn't even say a complete sentence, or even concentrate on myself.
I can't even do it."
"But I've always wanted to do something."
"Although at that time I didn't know what caused me to become like that, and I didn't know how to get rid of the ubiquitous nightmare, I had to do something..."
"Even if you just raise your hands, even if you just hold your head and hit it twice, it's fine."
"For most of the four years, I was just doing this kind of meaningless behavior that couldn't relieve my headache symptoms and get rid of the incomprehensible babble..."
"But gradually, maybe I struggled for too long, but I gradually found a method that allowed me to try and concentrate..."
"Then, just try it every day, as long as you keep your eyes open, as long as you can't sleep, try it, learn to fight against the feeling of bursting thoughts, learn to fight against the ubiquitous crazy chatter..."
"..."
Xiao Xiao's answer at this time had nothing to do with the exchange with these two people, but he was very serious.
The two people gradually became curious. After a while, the middle-aged man in a black suit couldn't help but said: "So, did you succeed?"
"No."
Facing his curious and serious inquiry, Xiao Xiao suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "The headache is still there, and the endless murmurs are still in my ears all the time."
"But I just learned to still concentrate and think when they tortured me."
"..."
"you……"
This question made both the old man in white robe and the middle-aged man in black suit feel shocked.
When they looked at Xiao Xiao at this time, they felt that he was calm and steady, his eyes were so deep that they could not see the bottom, his face was pale and handsome, and even when he smiled, he always had a just right arc.
But such a person is actually under the gaze of unknown things all the time, and is always under the call of mysterious things?
It's not that they know nothing about Xiao Xiao, it can even be said that their understanding of Xiao Xiao and his condition exceeds that of most people in the world.
So they were surprised.
I originally thought that Xiao Xiao should have recovered now.
Just like a patient with a high fever, they can understand his weakness, his pain, and his profuse sweating. However, they see that this person has returned to normal society, goes to work, works overtime, talks about business, and has achieved success.
He got very good grades, so they came over to talk to him and told him that he had been weak when he had a high fever. However, the man told himself that he had always been in a high fever state and had just learned how to force himself in that state.
I'm just pretending to be a normal person...
"So, these four years have taught me something."
Xiao Xiao looked at the horrified looks in the two people's eyes and slowly smiled: "Even if you do something randomly, it's better than doing nothing at all."
"If I hadn't tried to struggle, I wouldn't have been able to take that step out of the room."
"After all, strength comes from the habit of struggling."
"And struggling is human nature..."
"..."
The expressions of the old man in white robe and the middle-aged man in black suit were indeed stunned. They were stunned for a moment and found it difficult to answer.
Not far away, I leaned against the car window. Although I had the metal wrench at hand, I confirmed that these two people were not easy to mess with. Therefore, the good girl Ruanruan, who had been pretending that she did not exist, heard this sentence, and her eyes
Brightened slightly.
She heard this sentence from the old president and thought it was quite cool, so she learned it and kept saying it.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao actually heard this sentence in his heart, and now he has a new explanation...
She thought it was funny and decided to add it to Sister Ruan's quotations in the future.
"I remember someone said something like this before..."
The white-robed old man sighed slowly, looked at Xiao Xiao, and said, "I just didn't expect that I would have the chance to listen to it again."
"That's the way it is anyway..."
Xiao Xiao also smiled helplessly, spread his hands, and said: "I know you two find it a bit incredible, why should I carry out this plan without knowing anything about Noah's plan?"
"But people always have to do something."
"I didn't like those four years, nor did I like the world after my awakening. I didn't like it from the beginning."
"So I decided early on that something needed to be done."
"Whether the old president's plan to stay has loopholes or points to a dead end, it makes no difference to me. After all, this is the only path that tells us how to go."
"I also don't think that when you all hide your secrets mysteriously, you come to accuse us of not knowing anything, and accusing us of ruining your plans and other actions, which will make you appear less powerful.
clever."
"Because, I, or Black Gate City, or those in Black Gate City who support Noah's plan, are even people who may support Black Gate City in the future."
"We are just struggling, no matter what the outcome of our struggle is and what the impact is on the world."
"There is nothing wrong with struggling."
"..."
He said the last sentence word by word, then looked at the two people in front of him seriously, and slowly said: "Are you right?"
"President Dante, President of Hell?"
"..."
The old man in a platinum robe and the middle-aged man in a black suit both looked slightly surprised when they heard this, then heaved a sigh of relief and nodded gently.
I don’t know whether they recognized Xiao Xiao’s words or just admitted that Xiao Xiao had revealed their identities.
When he saw these two people just now, Xiao Xiao naturally didn't know their identities. He was just surprised that in this world, among the existences of non-mysterious sources, there were actually such powerful people, and their power was similar to that of them.
Mr. An's powerful difference is obtained by relying on the gift of a mysterious source. They are undoubtedly the same as himself, who have entered the taboo level and gained power at their own disposal. There are definitely not many such people, so Xiao Xiao has been
Observing secretly, guessing the identity of the two of them.
Both of them concealed the details about themselves very well.
But Xiao Xiao guessed that this kind of concealment was not a physical method, but that they had a way to make people not notice the details on their bodies that would reveal their identities.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao could only use their reactions and some details in their words to determine their identity level and stance.
For example, if they are not interested in the Noah Project, they will not be in the city, but they have their own plans and their understanding of the world exceeds their own, which means that they must belong to a very large organization.
Another example is that they have said that if they do not meet according to this plan, they are a powerful group that has not participated in the affairs of the city of Anxi.
Little by little, he moved away from the city and raised his position.
In the end, there were only two people left who could match their attitude, and that was the leaders of the Hell Organization and the Dante Organization, who were completely invisible during this incident in the City of Rest.
Of course, why not guess that they are two high-level officials of a certain party? Xiao Xiao felt that the two people did not seem to have a superior-subordinate relationship. They had completely opposite temperaments, and there was even a vague feeling of competition.
so……
...How scary!
The Hell Organization and the Dante Organization were actually playing together. The leaders of the two major organizations actually came to their train hand in hand to give themselves benefits?
"I don't know if I have been assimilated by you..."
The middle-aged man in a black suit did not answer Xiao Xiao's words that exposed his identity. Instead, he had a wry smile on his face, tapped his head lightly, and said:
"Originally, I thought it was very outrageous and unreasonable for someone like you, who doesn't even know what Project Noah represents, to go to such an extent. But after listening to you explain your reasons, I actually felt
It makes sense for you to do so..."
"..."
When Xiao Xiao heard this, he just smiled and said, "How is Bai Mo doing now?"
"Exploring the edge of the world."
The answer of the man in the black suit was regarded as acknowledging his identity, saying: "I was frightened by your performance when hunting Mr. Du. Now I feel very inferior and say that I want to pursue higher artistic concepts."
"It's probably useless, right?"
Xiao Xiao also smiled helplessly and said: "This thing depends on talent..."
The middle-aged man in a black suit nodded in agreement and looked at Xiao Xiao with complex eyes: "Yes!"
The old man in a platinum robe did not participate in their conversation. After Xiao Xiao explained his reasons, he remained silent until then, and then slowly spoke: "I also think that what you said
It makes sense.”
"It's just that you still understand something wrong."
He spoke slowly and looked up at Xiao Xiao: "We don't think we are smart people, nor do we want to deliberately hide those secrets."
"It's just that, just like the execution of Noah's plan, there are many obstacles hindered by monsters, our plan is also on thin ice, so we don't dare to leak the news to too many people."
"Including our people."
"..."
"oh?"
When Xiao Xiao heard what he said, he suddenly raised his head and looked over: "But you are here to find me."
"If we don't find you, you will threaten our plan..."
At this time, the middle-aged man in a black suit, or in other words, the president of the Hell Organization, smiled and said: "After all, you are young, and it still represents a possibility. We have changed our minds and don't want to strangle other possibilities.
Already..."
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Xiao's mind and he looked at him: "That's why Black Gate City has become a restricted area of hell?"
The middle-aged men in black suits looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise, then turned to the old man in platinum robes and said with a smile: "I like this young man."
The old man in the platinum robe sneered and said, "All the people in your hell organization like it."
Xiao Xiao had no intention of participating in their conversation at this time. Through the few words of these two people, he suddenly understood one thing:
The Hell Organization and the Dante Organization are originally from the same position and plan.
They are executing the same plan.
He even guessed something from the attitudes of these two people. The Hell Organization has a terrible reputation. It has destroyed many cities and killed many people. But perhaps, that is just the Hell Organization trying to eliminate those with evil intentions in the name of madness.
Someone who might threaten their plans?
As for why Black Gate City became a restricted area in hell...
...Is it because Black Gate City has been eliminated once, and the Hell Organization has changed its mind and wants to retain the possibility that Black Gate City represents?
The sensitivity of the discerner is clearly revealed at this moment.
Many of Xiao Xiao's conjectures at this moment were unreasonable and even outrageous, but he still subconsciously thought in this direction, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
His face remained calm, and he just said: "But now that you have come to see me, you still don't want to tell me?"
"Because now there is no need to say it out of our mouths."
The old man in platinum robes organized by Dante sighed softly, looked at Xiao Xiao seriously, and said, "You have already obtained Lao An's memory, haven't you?"
"I think that after you see what he has experienced, you will understand what we are doing, and you will also understand what the problems with the Noah plan are..."
"However, we still have to remind you that it is best to understand these before returning to Black Gate City."
"And if, after you learn all this, you understand our intentions and are willing to terminate the Noah Project, you can come to us..."
"...We will allocate a place to you!"
"..."
"..."
Listening to what they said, it seemed that they had intended to end this conversation. The high column where Xiao Xiao was was manifested by his will, and he could feel everything in this high column.
But now, as the other party finished his last few words, he felt that the breath of these two people seemed to be fading and thinning.
Just like they entered the high column without saying hello, it seems that he can't stop them from leaving now, so he suddenly felt slightly anxious and said to these two people: "No matter what I will see..."
"But it's always right to expel those foreign things and return the world to its original appearance, isn't it?"
"It's okay to believe in our world's will and let the excess pain be diluted, right?"
"..."
This was rare for him to ask such a question anxiously.
Because, from the words of these two people, he heard that they seemed to be very confident. It seemed that they were sure that after understanding Mr. An's memory, they would definitely choose to terminate the Noah Project and join their camp.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao felt vaguely dissatisfied, and he wanted to ask their opinions on issues based on these two principles.
In fact, Xiao Xiao also succeeded. The two people's fading figures did pause slightly after hearing his inquiry, and then thoughtfully gave their answers respectively.
The old man in platinum robes from Dante's organization looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "If something is really foreign, then what's the point of our understanding of the singularity that causes everything?"
The middle-aged man in a black suit from the Hell Organization laughed and answered concisely:
