Since the last goodbye, Chen Enzhi can no longer remember how long it has been since he and Li Boan saw each other.
But there was no joy when we saw each other again, because what Chen Enzhi saw in Li Boan's eyes was not the joy of seeing each other again after a long separation, but a daunting tranquility...
"You..." Chen Enzhi took a step back involuntarily.
Li Bo'an didn't stop him, but his words made Chen Enzhi freeze.
"When did you start knowing Lin Sen? And for what purpose did you lie to me with him for so long?" Li Boan was very calm.
Chen Enzhi looked at Li Bo'an with complicated eyes. She knew that what was supposed to come finally came.
"I knew him before the destruction of the Golden Birdcage... As for the purpose you mentioned... I can only say I'm sorry, but I have a clear conscience." Chen Enzhi no longer concealed it.
One by one, she bit her pipe and watched the changes in the distance. She had no intention of disturbing the two of them, but she still hoped that they could choose a good time to sit down and talk slowly.
so……
"Uh-huh! You two, I know you have a lot to talk about, but could you please check the time and place first?" interrupted the conversation between the two of them one by one.
Li Bo'an ignored her. He clenched his fists and then unclenched them. There was an inexplicable smile on his face, which was very bitter.
"So...from the beginning, everyone actually knew that I killed my lover, but everyone kept silent. You even lied to me in order to get me to cooperate with the 'Super Yuan Intervention'?"
Chen Enzhi's heart trembled. She wanted to say no, those were not true, but...
"I'm sorry...we have to have that memory because it was our last chance."
After hearing this, the smile on Li Boan's face finally spread, but his smile was dry, painful, and sad.
Seeing Li Bo'an like this, even though Chen Enzhi knew that her relationship with him was based on a lie, she still couldn't bear it and said: "Bo'an, I know we are sorry, but we
We also did it in accordance with Sister Nan's instructions before she died. None of us want to see you blaming yourself for the rest of your life because of this incident! Lulu lost her mother, she can't live without a father anymore, right?"
These comforting words were extremely ironic to Li Boan.
During these countless trips and pursuits, the reason why he has been able to persist until now is because of his heart for revenge and his persistent feelings for his lover.
But in the end, when Li Boan found the truth, he finally understood...
He is no longer alive long ago.
He who is alive now is just a puppet resurrected by Merry in order to install an insider within the Arbiter.
His body was filled with dirty blood, and his soul was born by copying the memory of a long-dead person... It was even more ridiculous. What was sad was that when he thought he was still alive, he thought he could still fulfill his obligations.
When the vows between Nangong Jue and Nangong Jue were made.
He killed Nangong Yu with his body like a walking zombie.
…
Yiyi sighed softly on the sidelines. Regarding Li Boan's matter, Chen Enzhi has been living in the double torture of contradictions and emotions.
That's why she was able to know these secrets from Chen Enzhi's heartfelt words after drinking.
But after listening to Yiyi, I always think...if only I hadn't heard it!
…
"I understand...I understand everything..." Li Boan felt much calmer after verifying his inner feelings.
He wiped away the non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes, and said coldly to himself: "I never understood why you hid Lulu, nor why a decadent scoundrel like me got a young lady like you.
Favor...it turns out to be like this...it turns out to be like this..."
Chen Enzhi had expected such a day a long time ago, but she still didn't know how to face it.
It's the same now.
On the side, Zhang Ziwei quietly opened the charging valve of the weapon, and he took a step back, reaching the maximum reaction distance.
Li Boan looked up at the sky, feeling inexplicably sad.
After a long time, when the chaos in the sky returned to clear blue.
He lowered his head and asked Chen Enzhi: "Who am I? Am I Meirui's dog? Or am I a chess piece for you to use against me?"
Chen Enzhi didn't know how to answer, but she knew what she should say now.
She took a step forward and said: "Bo'an, no matter who you are, in my eyes, you are still the person I love most, and this will not change because of anything."
Yiyi's eyes widened at the side. She grinned and turned around quietly.
Maybe the sudden confession was too abrupt.
Even Li Boan laughed and sneered.
"Really? If your love for me is true, and you don't care whether I am Li Bo'an or not, then come with me to take revenge and kill all those who deceived me, enslaved me, and played with me?"
Chen Enzhi hesitated when he heard this.
The muzzle of Chang Ziwei's gun had been raised, and he aimed and locked Li Bo'an.
Li Bo'an glanced at his eldest son Wei and said, "I advise you not to bother, let alone try to anger me."
Chang Ziwei said nothing, and his finger never left the trigger.
Chen Enzhi lowered her head. In fact, she just said those words just to save something... But it's like telling an asthma patient, why can't you even breathe... Her recovery means to Li Bo'an,
It's pure hypocrisy.
"Can't do it?" Li Bo'an put away his cynical expression, moved closer and asked Chen Enzhi.
Chen Enzhi slowly raised her head. She looked at Li Boan and said: "Yes, I can't do it, because from the beginning of knowing you, everything between us has been false. Probably every time I kiss you,
I must have mustered up the courage, but fortunately, every time I returned to that person, he would comfort me vigorously and let me understand that it was worth it, not to mention that I was facing someone with nothing.
He’s just a puppet who knows!”
Li Bo'an didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, he showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, this is you, continue!"
Chen Enzhi had already thought about it, but when faced with Li Boan like this, she had no scruples.
"Do you know what you really look like to me?"
"Tell me?"
"Disgusting! Disgusting from the bottom of my heart!" Chen Enzhi said harsh words without mercy.
Although Li Bo'an has calmed down, he still can't help but feel a burning feeling in his heart.
Even if it's a puppet... it still has a heartbeat...
"You are obviously not that person, but you have all his memories and habits. To me, this feeling is like seeing artificial intelligence taking to the streets, learning how to talk to humans, and falling in love with humans.
, every movement of yours, every look in your eyes is an imitation. Although the imitation is lifelike, when I know that the soul under your skin is empty, I think of those scenes where robots are mass-produced, and I think of garbage.
In the field, there are those scenes of dismantling the usable body parts from the 'corpse' of the companions and taking them as my own! For me, these things can only be endured, not accepted." Chen Enzhi's words deeply hurt.
Li Boan's heart.
His smile disappeared because just now, Chen Enzhi used a few short words to erase him from this world.
He is not Li Boan, nor anyone else. He has never existed...
"But..." Chen Enzhi suddenly walked over as she spoke. She hugged Li Bo'an and buried herself in his chest. "But he told me these, and he hoped that I could use them."
Looking at the world through human eyes, we should regard all non-human things as filthy slaves. This gave me a sense of honor and perseverance...but..."
Chen Enzhi's sudden move not only frightened the eldest son Wei and Yiyi, Li Bo'an also trembled. He wanted to push the woman away, but he failed to do so.
Watching her sobbing silently.
Li Boan seemed to see a light appearing in the world after the darkness.
"But you are breathing! You are obviously alive! Even if you are just a robot with Li Boan's memory, you are still a complete human being! I can keep saying to myself that all this is for the overall situation, for the sake of
The world, but I can't deceive myself, telling me that every time I kiss you, I'm kissing a puppet. When you love me hard, I'm not marrying a corpse... So... I don't know when.
At first, I felt you were so pitiful, and I began to hate myself! Hate why I did this to you..." Chen Enzhi's words not only made Li Bo'an see a ray of light again.
Yiyi and Changzi Wei on the side also fell into silence.
For no other reason...just because they feel the same way...
"What's more..." Chen Enzhi lowered his head sadly: "What qualifications do I have to talk about truth or falsehood now... I can't deny myself, how can I deny you?"
Li Bo'an looked at Chen Enzhi in his arms silently, feeling the trembling of her cry. He wanted to comfort her, but when he raised his hand, he suddenly realized a lot.
"Perhaps we are all the same... we are all slaves of memory, we are all fragments under the super-element, and we are all living in an endless nightmare. But now... I suddenly want to live for myself, even if it is only
Just a few seconds." Li Bo'an held Chen Enzhi's shoulders.
Chen Enzhi raised his head and looked at him blankly, not quite understanding what he was going to do.
In the end, Li Boan just lowered his head and kissed her suddenly.
Feeling the heat again, tears fell involuntarily from the corners of Chen Enzhi's eyes.
But the warmth is only short-lived.
After a gentle kiss, Li Bo'an said: "From now on, I am no longer Li Bo'an, and I will no longer blame myself or take revenge..."
"Then what do you want...?" Chen Enzhi seemed to have seen something.
But in Li Boan's calm eyes, the emotion was hidden deeply.
"If there is still a chance, I want to start over with you." After saying this, Li Bo'an suddenly pushed Chen Enzhi away, jumped into the air, turned into an arc of light and rushed straight into the distance, with the white light in the center rushing towards him.
Watching Li Bo'an leave like a moth to a flame, Chen Enzhi finally understood what he was going to do.
After being dazed for a moment, her eyes became tough, and then she followed Li Boan's footsteps and rushed towards the light.
Yiyi and the eldest son Wei were left stunned on the spot.
Yi Yi was holding a pipe in her mouth and her face was pale. She seemed to remember this scene...it felt like it was just yesterday.
Same people, same scene...
But today...
Will it have the same ending?
"Yiyi, what should we do? Do we want to stop the boss?" asked the eldest son Wei.
Shaking her head one by one, she knocked her pipe on the protruding rock on the side, then blew out a smoke ring and said: "No need, everyone does his or her job and settles with his destiny."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked slowly towards the distant wilderness.
The eldest son Wei looked stunned. He couldn't understand the situation at all.
In the end, after hesitating for a while, the eldest son Wei followed Chen Enzhi's footsteps and rushed towards the light.
…
The Ring of Yasod has been quietly launched.
A new round of pattern has taken shape.
Only this time, in the face of absolute power, under the control of the god-like central curtain.
The three forces began to counterattack in completely different forms.
The first to take action was the vanguard army from the Atheless City!
After arriving on Gaia, the omnic troops led by Su Coco launched an attack on the center of the ruins.
However, the ruins that have completely overlapped the world line are surrounded by nearly unshakable force fields!
Faced with this challenge, Su Keke, who was well prepared, immediately ordered his men to adjust the "city-breaking weapon" - the supernova rail gun to the interstellar orbit above the attack area.
While all this is going on in full swing.
Gaia, which had been quiet for seventeen years, finally responded.
As early as one day ago, on September 1, 132 A.D., the Sovereign felt unusual spatial fluctuations in the northern foothills of the Vasalil Forest.
As the current first captain of the interstellar fleet of mankind, Qin Wen immediately reported the situation to Xiao Qing and others.
After hearing the news, everyone who was preparing for Serra's funeral immediately realized that the disaster might have revived.
They immediately arranged for all civilians to enter the Doomsday Barrier, and at the same time urgently dispatched all existing human forces to completely block the abnormal area.
After twenty hours, the time came to 10 a.m. on September 2.
The Human Renaissance Federation has completed full combat readiness, and through observation, Xiao Qing also confirmed the fact that the Central Curtain has resurrected.
…
"I didn't expect that seventeen years have passed and they are back again..." Standing on the bridge of the King, Xiao Qing frowned deeply.
Qin Wen concentrated on observing the fluctuation data in the abnormal area and had no time to answer.
Xue Ming, who was still immersed in grief and had not yet recovered, said in a cold voice: "That's good. If I had the abortion early, I would be able to sleep more peacefully."
But Xiao Qing has no confidence at all, especially in the past seventeen years. Not only have Han Kongwen and Amy disappeared since they went to rescue Yang Yurong, but Dongfang Ruo, who had been sleeping for many years, left Future Pride just a few days after waking up, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
.
As for Lin Sen...and Niyun Ji and Xuan Ao Da Zong...they...
Xiao Qing had already given up hope.
None of the people who were most capable of saving the world showed up at the critical moment.
And even if it appeared, it would not make any changes to the pattern.
‘Does it mean that human beings will not escape extinction after all?’ Xiao Qing looked at the foothills with colorful ripples in the distance. The spatial density there had reached a point where it was difficult for humans to observe, but the outline of the pale ancient trees in the sky was extremely clear.
It feels like the enemy is taunting, but humans can only watch.
…
When the time came to around 3:15 in the afternoon on September 2nd.
There was an obvious tear in the space in the abnormal area, and the colorful colors instantly dimmed.
The obvious drop in air temperature is the most intuitive abnormal change for everyone...
Xiao Qing understood the overall situation and immediately ordered all combat deployments to retreat ten kilometers.
Just when the retreat was completed and the time came to 5 pm on September 2, the abnormal area changed again, and this time it brought not only the spatial anomaly of the abnormal area itself, but also the chaotic spatial crest.
The space in the surrounding area was also torn apart, and the void chain caused by the collapse of a large number of spaces almost swallowed up the combat power in the forefront defense area of mankind.
In response, Xiao Qing had no choice but to ask to retreat again.
But now when I look at the abnormal area, it feels very strange, even a bit weird.
Because if the previous abnormal area was just a distortion of the world in the field of vision, then now, the area covering an area of 97 square kilometers seems to have become an isolated island floating in the world, with all the surrounding areas eroded
Space is a dark ocean.
If it were more appropriate, it would be like cutting out an area from the map...
Faced with this situation, Xiao Qing and others were shocked and confused.
What is shocking is that this situation, which completely violates scientific principles, appeared so calmly, and those chains of nothingness did not continue to spread...
The question is, if this is really the resurgence of the Central Veil, then in what way will the power of the Central Veil unfold?
After all, judging from the current situation, as long as humans concentrate all their efforts to push a slight "push" into the space denudation area, they can easily send the entire abnormal area from the surface of Gaia into outer space. In this way, it is
Doesn’t it mean that humans can easily win?
Of course, the premise is that the central veil will release the apostles as before, and not something else that humans have not seen yet.
…
While Xiao Qing and everyone were discussing battle plans in response to emergencies, Qin Wen suddenly issued a warning.
Following everyone, they saw a blue light breaking through the spatial isolation of the abnormal area and going straight into the sky!
This made Xiao Qing and others nervous, but fortunately, the appearance of this light did not bring any other dangers.
Moreover, through analysis, Qin Wen found that it was actually composed of the most primitive number sequence base code, and was a macro bridge similar to a light beam! It was enough to complete the link with the number sequence world without the help of any other matter.
"Then...does this mean? Someone is asking for help from the Lightless City?" The person who said this was Xiao Qing's adjutant.
Xiao Qing and others had different expressions, but it was obvious that they were filled with joy and faint excitement.
"Sir, we have detected an unknown force approaching Gaia's highest satellite orbit at the third cosmic speed." Just when everyone was tacitly understanding it, the scouts sent exciting news.
After hearing this, Xiao Qing's confidence increased greatly. At least now she was sure that she was not alone and that humans did not fight alone!
