Chapter 164 Let's talk about the next destination later
There was nothing surprising about the light blue letter paper handed over by Montesquieu, except that the size was different from that of paper on Earth.
Lin Sanjiu took it over full of doubts, put away the knife, and opened the letter.
This is the advantage of facing the sages - even if the relationship between the enemy and ourselves is unknown, you never have to worry about the other party sneaking up on you when you are not paying attention.
When she unfolded the letter and read the first words carefully, Montesquieu and Aristotle each held their four hands and waited quietly aside, as peaceful as a deep pool of water.
After a long while, Lin Sanjiu suddenly tightened her grip on the letter in her hand, steadied her breathing, finally calmed down, and put the letter away. Only then did she look up at the sage.
"I...I don't quite understand." The words that came out of her lips were somewhat hesitant. Rather than asking the two sages, it was more like talking to herself. "Nuwa said...'The time has come.'
What means?"
This letter was sent by Nuwa.
In the blazing sunshine at noon, Nuwa's scrawled and wild handwriting looked very light. After Lin Sanjiu read it ten lines at a time, he found that he did not understand it at all, and had to read it again.
once.
"Hello Lin Sanjiu, it's the same as before. The weather has been very good these days. If you have a radiation measuring instrument around you, you may find that the radiation level is several centimeters lower, which is a good sign. This time I asked Meng
Desquieu and I went to deliver the letter, because I heard that you didn't have much communication with them, and I hope you can become friends."
"...How is everything going lately? It must be said that you seem to have left many companions near the old site of Eden. You have made a lot of noise, and sometimes people can't help but think that you have returned to the New Year Fight. But of course, my friend
, none of this is your fault. Time will always solve this little unpleasant problem."
"Today is a good day, and I am very happy. Saint Peter and the others are also very happy. This is the first time since they were born that they can walk on the earth freely. Although they cannot be completely free now, they will in the future.
More and more, because - the time has come."
"I don't want to sound like a savior, but my friend, you are still able to read this letter right now. It's all thanks to me."
"This letter is to say goodbye to you. I am about to leave here, and this will be the home of the Saints. If you remember our conversation at the top of the tower, then you should know where I am going.
Hope to see you there one day.”
There is simply no letter in the world that is more clouded and confusing than this one.
However, it was useless to ask Montesquieu and the two of them - the letter made it very clear that they were waiting to hear a word from Lin Sanjiu -
"...Did you bring anything?" she asked with a dry throat.
Montesquieu's nodding movement looked so peaceful and smooth. He carefully opened his cowboy-style belt pocket, took out a small piece of paper, and handed it to Lin Sanjiu.
The last paragraph of Nuwa's letter reads: "We are about to part ways. The day of reunion is far away. To express my sincere gratitude, please allow me to present you with a visa. Although I am not a visa officer, I was on the last
In ten years of study, I have successfully acquired the skills of a visa officer, so you are welcome and please accept it.”
When Lin Sanjiu took the fluttering piece of paper, her fingers were trembling slightly.
Seeing her staring blankly at the visa for a long time, she finally put it away. At this time, Montesquieu and his wife took a small step forward, as if they were gentlemen who had finally waited for a suitable opportunity.
.
"Huh? What do you want?" Lin Sanjiu looked at them blankly as they stood in front of her. Their tall bodies almost blocked her from seeing anything. Montesquieu first raised a hand.
He nodded his forehead, touched Lin Sanjiu's forehead gently, and then stepped aside.
Next, Aristotle did the same thing.
After doing all this, they seemed to feel that it was time to leave, and turned around and left in silence.
"This... seems to be a farewell etiquette?" Lin Sanjiu touched the place that had been touched by them just now, and there seemed to be a warm touch on his forehead. The skin of the "newcomers" was far better than that of humans. Soap,
Or the sea water is smoother, and with a little contact, you can feel the weird feeling that is indescribable.
In such ten minutes, the amount of information received was so great that Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a while before she realized her situation. She was about to continue digging, but as soon as she raised her eyes, her heart immediately rose to her throat.
The sages did not walk very fast, and they were still clearly visible in her field of vision. When they walked, they maintained a straight forward route, and a place on this line happened to be dug up by Lin Sanjiu.
A strange white rhizome was exposed.
It was too late to shout, because Aristotle's foot had already stepped on the surface of the white rhizome just as she opened her mouth.
"Be careful!" Lin Sanjiu whispered suddenly, secretly regretting that she forgot to remind the other person - even though the other person is not human, she does not hate them - she was about to rush to save people, but her footsteps stopped because of
I was stunned by what happened next.
The piece of "white radish" that Aristotle stepped on immediately opened a large gap as if it were alive - but this time, before the thin whiskers stretched out, it even closed dullly.
Got a mouthful.
This process seemed like just a tremor, but in the eyes of Lin Sanjiu, who had been dealing with it all day, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Looking at the two sages who were gradually going away, Lin Sanjiu made a sound and sat down on the ground. The "white radish" beside her had no interest in her at all, and this time he didn't even tremble.
For a moment, it looked like a dead object.
Lin Sanjiu's fingers were trembling as she took out the letter from Nuwa just now from her trouser pocket. Perhaps it was due to the great shock, so she took it out several times before finally taking it out and flattening it.
Now when she read it again, she finally understood.
Although Nuwa did not say it clearly, it is obvious that "white radish" is, as she guessed, a thing that can drag living things in - people, birds, insects, it will not let go of them all. However, judging from the situation just now,
Look, it seems that only the "new man" created by Nuwa, for some unknown reason, can coexist peacefully with this "white radish".
What Nuwa said "the time has come" and "they can finally walk freely" probably refers to this matter - no matter how powerful an evolved person you are, as long as you walk on the ground, you will encounter something unexpected.
, which is equivalent to saying that the entire Eden world has become the world of the "newcomers" and "white radish". Of course, there is no need to be secretive anymore. You can live freely!
As a human being, Nuwa herself was in danger living here, so she planned to leave this world and go to the place she once mentioned to Lin Sanjiu.
So, why does she also enjoy the same treatment as the sages?
In the letter, Nuwa said that all this was done to thank her - what exactly had she done to herself?
The more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the more he shuddered. The hairs on his neck stood up.
...What's more, in such a big world, why did Montesquieu know where she was? When she looked at the animal world before, she had seen some animals that could locate their companions through their internal systems...
She didn't dare to think deeply.
Although the sunshine was bright and warm, Lin Sanjiu felt chills all over her body. She wished she could cut herself open and carefully examine her from the inside out.
After sitting on the same spot for a long time, Lin Sanjiu managed to stabilize her mind. What saved her from the fear was a sudden thought: No matter what Nuwa did, she still had a heart that belonged to humans.
Heart——At this time, she is so afraid of the similarities between herself and the "newcomer", which is the ironclad proof!
As long as the brain is still yours, everything else can be discussed later.
With the support of this thought, Lin Sanjiu didn't know how he stood up, picked up the digging board, and started digging again.
Before starting, she even used a paper crane to send a message to Gong Daoyi: "Stop looking for the visa officer. Before your teleportation time comes, please stay high and don't touch the ground."
This time when the soil was dug again, her mood was completely different.
Even someone as unfathomable as Nuwa retreated in the face of difficulty; did Rabbit and his party, who had been swept away by the "white radish" without a trace since yesterday, really have any hope of survival?
"You want to see someone alive," she murmured, her tone fierce, as if she was demonstrating to someone. "You want to see your corpse alive!"
They couldn't even determine the direction of the excavation, and they didn't know where Rabbit and the others were involved... Even so, Lin Sanjiu was not willing to give up - it felt as if once she gave up, Rabbit and the others would really be there again.
It's like no luck.
She was even ready to dig until she was teleported away.
Digging by hand alone is too slow - every time after digging out a piece of "white radish" and confirming that there is no one inside, Lin Sanjiu will activate [Ding style mutated version] to remove the soil from the roots and stems.
They were all blown into debris flying in the sky. Mucus, thin whiskers, and clods of soil soon covered her body. She still seemed to be unconscious and continued to dig it out bit by bit.
The white rhizomes not only covered a wide area, but were also extremely deep. Lin Sanjiu followed them all the way down, and when the stars and moon hung in the sky, she had dug a deep pit of tens of meters on the ground——
However, the "white radish" is still spreading downwards.
During this period, she saw many strange-looking animals from the white radish, and even two fallen species that had been dead for a long time, but she did not see any humans.
When she once again saw a fallen species that was still staring at death, the combination of hunger and thirst finally forced Lin Sanjiu to stop, take out food and water, and sit down to eat in a daze.
Eating in front of the broken face of a fallen species was naturally not a pleasant thing to do; however, she didn't care at all at the moment.
Just as I was eating, the fallen species in "White Radish" suddenly flashed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
