Hearing words again that reminded people of "Twilight of the Gods" and "the end of all things" still made Russell feel that his heart was gripped by inexplicable fear.
"Is there an existence that will bring about the end of the world..."
Russell murmured softly.
Seeing Russell's reaction, the corners of Sai Lun's mouth raised slightly.
Her seat turned half a circle and stood up.
Only then did Russell realize how tall Ms. Salem really was - her elegant appearance and the unique aura of a leader would make people subconsciously think that it was normal for Ms. Salem to "look taller"
thing.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
But when she stood up, her tall figure, which was at least a head taller than Russell and Delphinium, immediately showed real oppressive power.
Ms. Sai Lun is at least 1.95 meters tall!
The most outrageous thing is that she is actually wearing high heels.
Let alone a woman...even for a man, this is already an extraordinary height.
Sai Lun's figure is not like that of a delphinium with a vest line, nor is it as slim and petite as a Ringo or a bird of paradise. Her figure is quite plump, not to mention her breasts, and even her thighs are even thicker than Russell's.
Go up two laps.
When she stood up, even the roof seemed lower and the lights seemed to dim.
"What can I drink? Is black tea okay?"
Sai Lun asked calmly and gently.
Delphinium was a little surprised.
She had imagined many possibilities and prepared many preparations with Russell. But she did not expect that the chairman of Tianen Group, the de facto ruler above ten thousand people, would have such an easy-going attitude.
"...I can do either."
Delphinium whispered.
Although she subconsciously blocked Russell's side, she felt a little afraid.
Russell, who was standing quietly behind her, didn't regard himself as an outsider at all: "I want to drink ice Coke."
"Sugar-free?"
"Of course it has sugar. Is the sugarless one meant for people to drink?"
"You have to add ice, right?"
"Expert."
When Sai Lun heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle and even "maternal" smile.
She poured a cup of black tea for Delphinium - only then did Delphinium realize that although the company looked small and simple, the various internal facilities were top-notch. The black tea was not what Chairman Sai Lun was doing now.
It's cooked, but it's not ready-made.
She has a beverage cabinet where all the drinks are kept at the optimum drinking temperature and taste. Warm black tea, hotter cocoa, cola with ice cubes, sparkling champagne...all are prepared in advance.
It is divided into "cup" postures and placed in different layers.
Later, Selon brought Russell a large glass of Coke and served himself a glass of frothy cold beer.
The moment the drink was taken out of the cabinet, the Coke was still full of energy, and tiny droplets of water were still flowing on the outer wall of the beer.
"Have you ever heard anyone tell you about Dusk before?"
Like a gathering of old friends, Sai Lun asked Russell casually.
Russell didn't hide it either.
He nodded: "He is my mentor."…
"Sally Ruth...I thought it was Sal."
Sai Lun sighed: "It seems that the disaster on Tongshen Island should be caused by the Dusk Awakening."
She doesn't know?
Russell captured the details from these words.
But he soon realized something else: "You know a lot about dusk?"
"No one can say that they know Dusk very well, not even a monster from another world like Sally Ruth."
Sai Lunman took a long sip of beer, and the white foam burst on her lips: "I just live a long time..."
That was a drink that was completely inconsistent with her temperament... Russell originally thought that she might bring out drinks such as red wine, black tea or champagne. However, the ice beer was completely beyond Russell's guess.
In other words, after they arrived at this small office, he and Delphinium discovered that...the presumptions they had made in advance were almost all invalid.
This chairman had a huge statue of himself in Tianen Park, and was the only chairman among the Seven Giants to have a statue of himself. He was most likely the murderer who sent the Curse Master to assassinate Alice, and was also responsible for the birth of the monkey-faced eagle.
The source of disaster...
But she looks so ordinary and easy-going. Not only is she not extremely violent, she is even somewhat down-to-earth.
Rather, it's a bit too down-to-earth...
Russell glanced at the screen where she was working, and was surprised to find that her computer screen was filled with dense codes.
Does this chairman even have to write his own program?
"Do you care about that?"
Sai Lun saw Russell's gaze.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she proudly showed off: "It's not a particularly important program, I just wrote it casually for fun.
"It can read all the ads that everyone has clicked on in the past month, and how long the user's eyes stayed on them. Using this method, we can further optimize targeted ads.
"I plan to add another one that detects hormone secretion and brain waveforms to achieve more accurate judgment of intentions and make auxiliary adjustments according to each person's different habits. Anyway, the mind protection chip also has relevant data, just call it...
"...Oh, I'm sorry. You probably aren't interested in this."
Sai Lun put down the wine glass and breathed out lightly. The faint smell of malt mixed with the smell of alcohol breathed out onto Russell's face, making the hair on Russell's forehead tremble slightly.
"Where to begin..."
The chairman was a little troubled: "Since you already know the dusk, I think you almost know the two 'locks'."
"Well, I also know the truth about the heaven and the heart, including the spiritual plague."
Russell squinted his eyes, relaxed his body, but his nerves were tense.
His voice was very soft, but at the same time his eyes were fixed on Sai Lun: "Why... do you want to silence me?"
"For you, no need. Anyway, you will become one of us sooner or later."
Sai Lun smiled freely, and the beautiful face belonging to the "Chairman of the Seven Giants" actually had a hint of the freedom of a ranger: "After all, you are different from your parents, and there is no point in killing you.
"Although we both belong to the Tower of Babel, you are the Egg of Dusk. If we kill you or drive you crazy, the world will really end...
"Let's put it this way. In fact, among all the named elves, I am also the most special one.
"Because my position is the twelfth hour of the seventh day. In other words, I am the last one among the eighty-four people. The fate I bear is 'favor'.
"That's where the name 'Tian'en' Group comes from."
Seeing Russell and Delphinium facing formidable enemies, Sai Lun was not nervous.
She raised her head again and drank tons and tons of cold beer. Her throat could be clearly seen sliding up and down, which was quite a bold gesture.
"Twilight..."
Sai Lun put down the empty wine glass and sighed helplessly: "This is not the first time that dusk has occurred in this world.
"The last time was more than a thousand years ago."
"...the first year?"
"Yeah. But for us, there's another way of saying it.
"Star Calendar Year 34...or, AD 2234."
Sai Lun whispered: "At that time, I was just a ship engineer on the Kubler. The space station we were on at that time was fifteen light years away from the earth."
Russell's hole is slightly enlarged.
Although he has roughly guessed part of it...
But as expected, it was the person involved who told this history in person that shocked him even more.
Delphinium on the side was completely unable to understand the conversation. She didn't even understand what the "ship" referred to.
Seeing Russell's astonishment and Delphinium's confusion, Sai Lun couldn't help but laugh: "You can indeed understand.
"You do have knowledge that does not belong to this era...
"Sally Ruth didn't lie to us. She did open the door to another world."
"...Why do you want to open the door to another world? Why do you want to drag me into this world?"
Russell was silent for a long time, and then he slowly asked.
The first Solver who is not the Riddler and is willing to explain everything to him is right in front of him... If Russell's Blue Shift hadn't already entered the ninth level, I'm afraid he would lose control of his emotions in an instant.
"I think you should have heard it at some point. The answer is that our home star is polluted by dusk."
Sai Lun crossed his fingers and leaned back on the chair.
The peaceful and gentle smile on her face disappeared in an instant. In the process of leaning back, a cold, ruthless, fair and just ruler seemed to emerge from her body.
Sai Lun closed his eyes, and his chest moved with deep breaths.
She was silent for a while and said softly: "It started out because an archaeological team accidentally discovered ruins from Mars. Through excavation, we obtained a lost technology - by building an engine, it can open the way to the
The door to the 'Dream World'.
"That is a brand new jump engine - it does not move in the galaxy, but can move in countless parallel worlds. This means that we can obtain endless resources from the mirror Earth.
"This kind of engine should be left behind by civilizations from other parallel worlds. For us who cannot realize warp engine technology, this is the only way to break the resource dilemma...
"So, after 120 years of construction... we succeeded.
"The door to the 'Dream World' was opened, and the earth seemed to be pushed into a stranded ship in the river of Dream World. We were finally able to escape... We cheered for a while.
"But it wasn't until much later that we discovered... that this was not an escape from a desperate situation.
"——On the contrary, we who had already escaped escaped back again."
When Sai Lun said this, he looked a little disappointed.
She was silent for a while, then looked at Russell: "I had forgotten these things a long time ago. Or I recently found out that you were coming over... so I deliberately reorganized my memory.
"In the long river of the dream world, there is a terrifying, transcendent-dimensional life wandering - it may not be called life, or it may only be called 'existence'.
"That's [Dusk].
"Some scholars believe that it is the illusion of the afterimage of the destroyed world reflected in the River of Dreams, because the River of Dreams has no concept of time, and those born later can also exist in the previous time; there are also
Some scholars believe that the world is just an egg shell, civilization is just an illusion in the interim period, and the twilight of hatching their own civilization is the ultimate destiny of every civilization.
"But we can be sure that dusk is a high-level existence that will inevitably bring the world to an end. Most of them are not violent, but their mere existence will bring the world to destruction.
“It’s more like ‘dying’ than ‘killing’ or ‘invading’.
"When they walk on the river of dreams, they will leave traces. And just such traces can kill a whole world.
"——The dusk that first enters our world is called 'dream'. It is the first dusk we encounter after we return the world to the river of dreams."
Speaking of this, Sai Lun suddenly took a deep look at Delphinium.
This made her a little nervous and a little confused.
She said softly: "Maybe you can't understand it. But in fact, our world was once extremely united and friendly.
"Because from the beginning of our birth, we have been able to communicate with the sea of group subconsciousness. We can easily understand the will of our fellow humans... Relying on this talent, we have developed a quite prosperous and prosperous civilization.
"Although there was also a world war, it came more from a dispute over the path. That is, 'whether everyone must be connected to the sea of group subconsciousness.' Other than that, that world was not as chaotic as it is now.
Impetuousness, hatred, jealousy.
"Because everyone's heart can be easily healed by more kindness. But even so, we still cannot leave the earth.
"Our original plan was to store a large number of 'brains' and make these brains into 'brains in a vat' to maintain the activity of psychic energy.
"After gathering enough brains, they can produce a thrust together... thus pushing the spacecraft to extremely far places. This is a non-working engine with very low efficiency.
"Later, after we reconnected to the River of Dreams, we quickly obtained a new technology. Through this technology, we can extract power from the parallel world to give the spacecraft the power of a perpetual motion machine.
"This is the birth of 'The Dragon'.
"The reason why they are called dragons is because this technology was obtained from a creature called a 'dragon' in the parallel world. This is a kind of commemoration and a kind of...show off."
Sai Lun said softly: "But we soon realized... Fortunately, we didn't execute the original plan.
"Because our spiritual energy is not innate at all - it comes from the planet beneath our feet. When we fly far enough away from the planet, our spiritual energy will weaken.
"This planet is the corpse of a dead dusk. And our world was originally a seal. It was our ancestors who gave up the chance of life and sealed it.
"But after we pushed it back into the Dream River, it regained nutrition... and began to wake up.
"This consciousness hatched from the sea of group subconscious gradually began to talk to us, gradually gained nutrition and learned and grew... Eventually, she was enshrined as a 'god' by some people.
"Its name is [Fantasy], the dusk opposite to reality. In countless parallel worlds, the existence of every person who 'escaps from reality' is calling for its return."
