Chapter 1424 Chapter · "Then why are you crying?"

At this time, footsteps sounded behind him.

Xiaobai and Huibai, along with a large group of researchers, went up to the rooftop.

"Ran Bo...! Why are you sitting there? Come here quickly!" The middle-aged mentor, who had always been mean, knew that Ran Bo was useful now, and immediately changed his face and asked Ran Bo to come over in a friendly manner.

Ran Bo did not move and continued to sit on the edge of the rooftop.

"Ran Bo, I know you have met the Lord of the World. He should have taught you how to retain your previous memories." Xiao Bai said directly: "Now, we need an artificial Rin tribe - and you are the only expert who has retained memories in this area. Please help me."

Ran Bo slowly turned his neck and stared at the researchers with his red eyes.

He smiled, and the seven-color paint on his face shone in the sunlight.

He crossed his hands and placed them gently on his knees, and chuckled:

"I once believed in Viridodo, but this god of inspiration never favored me. During countless resets, my research results were arbitrarily tampered with by the Creator. I was slandered, cyberbullied, and had my box opened by humans. In the end, I was left with nothing."

"Later, I converted to Cretgens, hoping that the Dawn Mother Goddess could grant me happiness and love. However, after countless resets, my fate remained unchanged. I tried to question the creators of Olives, but those darlings of the world never cared about the thoughts of a speck of dust in the era."

"The edifice of science has long since collapsed, but I am still its prisoner, unwillingly trying to pick up pearls from the ruins."

"So what if I retain the reset memory? This will only make me more and more desperate, more and more hateful, and more and more powerless!"

"The dust of the times, falling on people like us, is like a huge mountain."

"Now, I have begun to believe in the devil of fun, Casadia... I have gradually come to understand that everything is suffering, and my persistence is meaningless. The building of science is no longer there. I should have understood this long ago."

"Ridiculous! How ridiculous! The edifice of modern physics that humans have painstakingly built over tens of millions of years is actually no match for a strawberry shortcake that suddenly appeared! Haha, hahahahahaha…

"The floating apple that does not rely on Newton's law of gravity, the super-accelerated shot put that does not conform to Galileo's law, the mechanical perpetual motion machine that mocks Aristotle's wisdom... They appear so abruptly, yet seem so reasonable. With just the movement of the pen tip, such a thing that violates the theorem of millions of years is born."

The black-haired researcher in white stood up, turned around, opened his arms, and the seven-color paint on his face shone brightly. He laughed wildly like a qualified believer in fun:
“Ha—Ahahahaha—hahahaha—!!!”

"So, look! Ladies and gentlemen! Emotional words have replaced rational science!"

"Behold! The inspiration of a madman has taken the place of beautiful, objective laws!

"Look! The ink flowing recklessly replaces the complete order!"

"What delight! What rapture! What a delight it is! Laugh—laugh—!"

Absurd laughter filled the rooftop, and people looked shocked and sad.

The researcher in white laughed loudly, raised the paint bucket beside him, and splashed it on himself. In an instant, the rigorous and simple white coat was dyed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

The colorful splendor jumped onto his face, dripping down, flowing into his mouth, and into his neck.

Xiaobai stood silently, tilting his head:
"…Then why are you crying?"

She never understood the complexity of human beings.

Some people are laughing but they are not really happy. Some people are crying but they seem to be really happy.

The ultimate goal of life is peaceful awakeness. People suffer because they are awake but not peaceful, or peaceful but not awake. Humans have been chasing after things that make them more and more unpeaceful since they were born. If they catch them, they are peaceful, and if they can't catch them, they are awake.

Peace and clarity have never been in harmony, so even if life ends, they cannot reach the ultimate in their hearts. Therefore, humans are always unwilling to accept the end of life.

Xiaobai has always been curious about why humans are so amazing.

Cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh. Why do you have to laugh while crying, and why do you have to cry while laughing? The human named Su Mingan always likes to do this.

"I do not know."

The man painted with seven colors of oil paint tilted his head, his messy black hair swaying, and his face really had an expression of both crying and laughing.

"…I don't know," he repeated.

Xiao Bai said: "If you help us, I can appoint you as the head of Queqiu Research Institute now."

The shocked expressions on the faces of the people around you show how important this honor is.

However, Ran Bo still had an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

Xiao Bai said: "I can give you the Viridito Award. This is what you have been pursuing all your life."

Ran Bo's pupils shrank.

Xiao Bai said: "Besides, I can also clear your parents' names and tell everyone that they should not be burned to death. They are great people."

Ran Bo's whole body was shaking.

Xiao Bai finally showed a puzzled look: "What else do you want?"

Ran Bo suddenly threw away the paint bucket in his hand, and stared at Xiao Bai with seven colors of oil paint all over his body:

"Xiao Que... I want to ask Xiao Que more! I want to ask him why! Why did he betray my parents? Why did he tamper with my research?"

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "Yes, I want to meet him! I can finally meet him! This person who easily changed my life, this person who is as free as a dove..."

Xiaobai and Huibai looked at each other, and Xiaobai shook his head: "Oliviers is dead. I'm afraid you will never get the answer."

At this moment, Ran Bo could not hear anything.

His mind suddenly became empty, as if he hadn't grasped everything he was obsessed with.

He rested his cheek against his palm, and after a moment, softly, weakly, let out a laugh.

……

[——Who killed the raven hovering over the tower? ]

[Is it the lost science, the inspiration, or the strawberry shortcake? ]

……

["Notification from the Moma Biological Evolution Alliance to Lovasa": Dear allies, after a comprehensive search, we still have not found the "Turritopsis dohrnii" in the Sea of ​​Eternal Life. 】

[It is preliminarily determined that the "lighthouse jellyfish" is extinct. ]

【Sincerely.】

……

The daylight grows brighter.

After Su Mingan left the small world, he found someone sitting outside the window.

——The man was sitting on a tall street lamp, wearing a purple and green cat suit, his purple hair was swaying, his golden eyes were flashing, his face was handsome but decadent, and there was a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.

In the sunlight, the man squinted his eyes, like a precious ragdoll cat with golden pupils.

"Su Mingan, I have something to talk to you about." Qi Zhou said lightly.

"Hmm?" Su Mingan responded.

"The Lord of the World is heading for the World Tree, intending to plunder all the books of the World Tree at the last moment and become the new owner of the Garden of Eden. He has contacted Noel Ajini and intends to unite the two higher dimensions behind Noel. I found an excuse to slip out and tell you this." Qi Zhou said with his arms folded.

…Noel Akinni.

It seems that Noel has also ended his activities of killing gods and started to move on to the next step.

It's hilarious how consistent they are.

As for Shizhu's actions, Su Ming'an was not surprised. Shizhu had found a way to break away from the IP and fulfilled his promise. He would no longer be under Su Ming'an's control in the future.

Su Mingan raised his head and said, "Qi Zhou, you are the child of the Lord of the World. If the Lord of the World becomes the new master, you will rise to the top with him. Why did you reveal this information to me?"

Qi Zhou crossed his arms and said calmly: "I don't care about money or honor. I only care about one thing... Su Mingan, come with me."

Qi Zhou ran away and Su Mingan followed.

After a while, Su Mingan felt that Qi Zhou was too slow, so he spread his white tentacle wings, picked up Qi Zhou with one hand, and flew into the air.

"You——!" Qi Zhou's pupils shrank and he looked like he was about to explode.

"You lead the way and I'll fly." Su Mingan said lightly.

They flew over the land of the dead, and countless people looked up and exclaimed in amazement.

"Look, those wings are a miracle—!"

"It's God, our lighthouse god!"

"It's the old god Asasto, the leader of the old days, the torch of the wasteland, the lord of the dawn one hundred and two years ago, and the god of the cloud city of Praya ten thousand years later..."

In order to collect faith, Su Ming'an ordered Burris to continue to spread the name, teachings, scriptures, statues and poems of the "God of Lighthouse".

He finally took the initiative to sit on the throne of God.

Ten minutes later, Su Mingan arrived at an orphanage.

The children were standing in the yard, making strawberry shortbread with cream. When they saw Qi Zhou coming, they hurried over.

"Big brother... Big brother is here!"

"Big Brother Cat is here!"

"Brother Cat, this is my painting. Look! It looks like you!"

Facing these children, Qi Zhou's sullen face suddenly softened, the teardrops at the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, he bent down and touched the heads of several children.

"How do you feel today, Xiaohua? Is your asthma not acting up?"

"Lolo's legs don't hurt anymore, that's great."

"I brought gifts today, a bag of cookies for each person. Come, take them..."

"Brother, my face hurts a little..." A purple-haired girl came over. Qi Zhou quickly squatted down, bandaged her face, and comforted her softly.

Su Mingan looked at Qi Zhou who was taking care of the child, as if he had seen someone in a hallucination.

After finishing everything, Qi Zhou turned around and looked at Su Mingan: "As you can see, this is all I care about."

"I didn't realize you were a person who liked children." Although Su Mingan was surprised, he was not too shocked.

"After all, there are more than 300 children." Qi Zhou lowered his eyes and said slowly:

"——They are all my brothers and sisters."

Su Mingan was struck by lightning.

He looked at the children in shock, his pupils trembling.

Qi Zhou said: "Humph... The Lord hates creators like Si Que the most, but when he picked up the pen himself, the dragon slayer also became an evil dragon."

...The Lord of the World has given birth to too many children! The Lord of the World is the real queen of the Zerg!
After Su Mingan was shocked, he felt confused: "What's the point of writing about more than 300 children if it can't help the Lord?"

Qi Zhou closed his eyes and said, "You know the concept of 'card star upgrade', right?"

Su Mingan nodded: "I know. The same kind of primordial beings devour each other and become stronger and stronger."

Qi Zhou smiled coldly: "So, this is why these people are all children."

A creepy feeling instantly crept up Su Mingan's spine.

He looked at these innocent children and suddenly felt heavy.

Children mean they have no fighting power, which means they can be easily eaten, which means - these brothers and sisters of Qi Zhou were specially created by the Lord of the World as food for Qi Zhou!
Rather than saying this is an orphanage, it would be better to say that this is a primitive human flesh farm!

"...I won't eat it." Facing Su Ming'an's gaze, Qi Zhou expressed his opinion without hesitation: "I would rather always be a weak person, and would rather be controlled by the world master and live an extremely aggrieved life. I don't want to be a person without humanity!"

Su Mingan's opinion of Qi Zhou changed completely.

Originally, he thought that Qi Zhou, as a grandson, lived a rather pathetic life. But now, he understood that a person willing to live a pathetic life was also a kind of greatness.

"Wait a minute..." Su Mingan quickly realized a more terrifying problem: "The originals can devour each other, and you are also the original of the world master...!"

"Ah, that's right." Qi Zhou seemed to have thought about this a long time ago, and said calmly:
"I know why the Lord of the World raised me."

"He has long been driven mad by the pollution. He only wants to plunder all the books of the World Tree and become the new master of Rovatha, powerful enough to be free of the pollution."

"I am the food he has been raising for a long time. When he succeeds, he will definitely devour me and replenish his strength."

Su Mingan felt creepy.

The Lord of the World created more than 300 brothers and sisters as grandchildren for Qi Zhou to devour. If these more than 300 brothers and sisters grew up safely, each of them might write down more than 300 great-grandchildren, increasing exponentially.

——The infinite chain of self-devouring.

"Since you know that the Lord has ill intentions towards you, leave him as soon as possible." Su Mingan suggested: "It's just right, you can stay with me, which can also be regarded as saving your life."

He doesn't hate Qi Zhou, Qi Zhou just likes to make bad faces, there's nothing wrong with that.

Qi Zhou smiled.

The cat suit trembled, and he narrowed his noble golden eyes:

"No, I'm not going to run away."

"I am the person the world lord trusts the most. He won't be on guard against me."

"Noel is following the World Lord now. If I can give you the World Lord's coordinates in real time, you will know Noel's real-time coordinates."

"This will help you a lot in winning this battle, right?"

At this moment, Su Mingan's heart trembled.

He suddenly understood why Qi Zhou came to see him.

"This is a communicator." Qi Zhou took off a cat ear from his cat suit and put it in Su Ming'an's hand: "I will send you the coordinates of the World Lord in real time, so that you can know Noel's movements in real time. Of course, once I do this, it means that I will not be able to escape from the World Lord and will be eaten by him in the end."

"As a deal, when I die, you have to protect all the children here and prevent them from being eaten by the World Lord. I know you are strong and responsible. Among the people I know, only you can do this."

"When everything is settled, I would be very happy if you would come to my grave and lay a bouquet of flowers."

"This is the deal I want to make with you, Su Mingan."

Su Mingan took the cat ears.

He was silent for a while, and the children were milling around their legs. They didn't understand what price the cat-eared brother had paid.

"Brother Cat Ears, would you like some strawberry shortcake?"

"Big brother, can you stay a little longer?"

"Big brother, Xiaomei likes you..."

Su Mingan lowered his head and said softly, "Okay."

Look at these kids more.

This might be the last time Qi Zhou sees them.

The champion of the first Disciple Game, a smart and sensitive person, seems careless, but always cares about others.

Fate has made it so difficult for them to open up to each other until now. If they had known each other earlier, would the ending be different?
Qi Zhou leaned close to the children's faces and said goodbye as if nothing had happened.

Just as Su Mingan was about to leave, Qi Zhou suddenly said:
"Why didn't you choose me when you first chose one from the six?"

If you had chosen me in the first place, would we not have to wait until this moment to have this conversation? Would I not have to pay the price with my life?

The hyacinths on the lawn rustled, and Su Mingan heard the intertwining heartbeats of the leaves.

"…Because Xili's white hair is very eye-catching." Su Mingan said.

This answer made Qi Zhou laugh and cry. He waved his hand, turned around, no longer looked at Su Mingan, and left.

His last contemptuous voice floated on the wind:
……

"Is that so? So I lost to this reason..."

……
