Ship of Theseus-01

-three years ago-

—The Navel Eye of the World. Tianfu Plain. Luocheng—

The manic storm raged past, everything was cleaned up wherever it went, and even the land looked like it had been shoveled a few feet.

There is a pair of eyes cautiously looking through the gaps in the windows, steel bars and concrete, looking at the situation outside.

There were no other sounds or movements, and the storm had just left, and now seemed a good time to get out.

Then the owner of those eyes moved.

This is a middle-aged man who looks thin and thin, in his thirties.

"Yuyu." He whispered, "Daddy go out for a while."

A very small voice responded: "I will obediently wait for you to come back, Dad."

A brief smile appeared on the man's bitter face because of this child's words.

He turned on the radio and tuned it to the frequency he had memorized, and a hoarse female voice came from it.

"Hello, can anyone hear me?"

"This is Luocheng Fifth Primary School. We currently have ten teachers and 34 students."

"If you can hear this broadcast, please come to Luocheng Fifth Primary School to have a round with us, or contact us in any way to let us know of your existence. We will try our best to help you and inform you about The necessary knowledge you need to know to survive in today's Luocheng."

"We sincerely look forward to your arrival."

The man puts the radio next to the child.

"Listen to Dad, Yuyu." The man licked his dry lips, "If you don't wait until Dad comes back, then you can go to the fifth elementary school after the food at home is finished."

"Yuyu is already a big kid, he can do it, right?"

The child raised his head, and said crisply: "Okay, Dad!"

"You're so good." The man kissed the child's forehead, "Then... wait for Dad to bring you back something delicious."

The first day has passed.

The second day passed.

The third day passed.

In this room, a small, almost inaudible sound finally sounded.

"……dad?"

"When will you come back...?"

The child turned on the radio.

But there was only the sound of "Zi la - zi la -" electric current.

Neither he nor his dad knew.

The broadcast had been cut off a few days ago.

What they heard was the final briefing.

The fourth day, the fifth day...

The little boy finally realizes that Dad may not be coming back.

He opened the door and went out.

He is going to the fifth primary school.

Because Dad... said that to him before.

"This is Luocheng?"

Surrounding you can also see traces left over from the city that once belonged, those high-rise buildings, and more buildings that belonged to humans.

It's just that it's all ruins now.There are scattered rubble all over the ground, exposed steel bars, overturned cars and bicycles.

"click", "click".

The boots stepped on the rubble, making a sound that was too loud for this silent city of Luocheng.

Two figures walked over from a distance together.

They wore similar uniforms, with tight-fitting black thin T-shirts on the inside, long metal buckles slung across their chests, and their nameplates hung under the buckles.Outside was a thigh-length white windbreaker, with wide sleeves closed at the wrists, also fastened with metal buckles, making the lines extraordinarily slender and beautiful.

Perhaps the only difference in the uniform is that the collar and hem lining of the slightly indifferent boy are red, while the lining of the slightly taller boy with a gentle smile on his face is red. blue.

These are two men between teenagers and youths. They are at the most vigorous age, and they are full of vigor and vigor.

Just by looking at them, one can probably understand what the word "juvenile elegance" actually describes.

"What Luo Cheng and I think... is too different."

While tugging at his cuffs, the young man in red raised his eyes impatiently, and glanced briefly at the fallen and broken buildings.

He has a very good-looking appearance, but he is so imposing that even such a beautiful appearance is overwhelmed.So much so that when people saw him for the first time, they would only be attracted by that imposing manner, and would be amazed and subdued by it, and there would be no time to pay attention to and appreciate that face.

"It doesn't look any different from other places." The young man said, with some impatience in his voice, "Is this also the center of ghosts and natural disasters? What kind of trash came in but couldn't get the news out?"

The blue-clothed boy standing beside him laughed helplessly when he heard the words: "That's too demanding, Qi Qi."

His tone was the same as his whole person, a gentleman, gentle and jade-like.It was as if standing beside him would make him feel peaceful and quiet along with him.

"As Luocheng is the center of a hundred ghosts and natural disasters, I thought there should be something else unusual." The boy in red frowned, looking disappointed, "Looking at it now, it's nothing more than that."

The blue-clothed boy sighed, and a look of distress appeared on his handsome and gentle face.

"If other celestial masters heard what you said, they might wait for you at the entrance of the camp with sacks tonight."

It's really a bit too much to beat.

The young man in red immediately raised his eyebrows, and the expression on that graceful face became lively.Although it is beautiful, that kind of beauty is too aggressive, like a famous sword unsheathed, with a sharp and unstoppable sharpness.

"If they dare," said the young man in red, "then just come."

"I'm waiting."

The boy in blue sighed louder.

"Qiqi." He called out.

The red-clothed boy looked like a cat that had been grabbed by the back of the neck. He made a few inaudible purrs from his throat, but he closed his mouth in the end.

The two of them walked towards the center of Luocheng again.

In fact, if there is still a third person here, then he will be surprised to find that the reputation of these two teenagers is not as young as their age.

No. [-] on the list of celestial masters, Ghost Gun Gu Qi.

The second place on the list of celestial masters, Tiangong Banquet.

The existence of the two of them almost represents the highest level that human celestial masters can achieve in this world.

——Although they are indeed so young, so young that people feel a little ridiculous.

However, it is a pity that Tianshi is such a profession that pays more attention to talent than age and qualifications.The difference in talent will infinitely widen the gap between people.

And Gu Qi and Yan Yue are without a doubt the ones who stand at the top in every aspect.

The existence of celestial masters used to be only hidden in the dark and known to a few people; however, three years ago, when the natural disaster of hundreds of ghosts broke out, with Luocheng as the center, ghosts that should have only appeared sporadically suddenly appeared in an astonishing way. The speed breeds, grows, and launches an attack on humans.

It became a protracted, life-and-death struggle between the two races for survival.

However, this war is extremely unfavorable to mankind in general.

On the one hand, it is very difficult for ordinary human beings to cause any harm to ghosts. Even if they have already begun to work overtime in research and development, trying to use technology to physically exorcise ghosts is obviously not something that can be done in a short while.

So in fact, more, still have to rely on the celestial master.

However, the overall number of celestial masters is obviously too small. Even if they start training from now on, they will not be enough to go to the battlefield so soon.

On the other hand, ghosts are undoubtedly more unique in this respect than flesh and blood humans who need to eat and rest.

Their injuries will not affect their actions, and the yin energy between heaven and earth is getting stronger day by day, which also ensures that the strength in their bodies remains full at all times.

And... after human beings die, it is possible to become a ghost; but if the ghost is cured, it may not be transformed into a human.

One ebbs and another, no one can see the possibility of human beings winning in this war.Repeated and persisted in fighting, perhaps just because he knew that he could not retreat, and instead of becoming the ration of ghosts, it is better to fight to the death.

Against such a background, human beings were once at a disadvantage.

But human beings are, after all, the race in this world that is the most flexible, the most adaptable to change, and able to survive better.With the passage of time, this disadvantage has been equalized, and what is now unfolding between the two sides is a long tug-of-war.

As the initial outbreak point and the absolute center of the Hundred Ghosts Natural Disaster, Luocheng is not the safe zone that humans want to fight for.The human army and the accompanying celestial masters have begun to protect the human beings and move towards the safe zone.

There, the power of all the celestial masters will be assembled, combined with certain technological means, to set up an enchantment with both blocking and alarm functions.

After that, the time will be quiet within the enchantment, and the outside of the enchantment will be the line of defense that human beings must stick to.

Gu Qi and Yan Yue were supposed to be in these teams.

But Gu Qi and Yan Le made an invitation.

"I want to go to Luocheng to have a look." Gu Xi said, "The reason for the outbreak of the Hundred Ghosts and Natural Disasters has not been found out so far. Maybe Luocheng has some clues?"

"Besides, if we don't go this time, maybe we won't have the chance to go to Luocheng in the future." Gu Qi looked over at Yanyue and dragged his tone, "Ale——"

If this is seen by others, I am afraid that they will be shocked.After all, Gu Xi's impression on others should be made up of words such as powerful, arrogant, and vicious. Who would have thought that he would have such an expression and tone.

Yan Le had nothing to do with him, he was unlikely to refuse Gu Qi's request.

Who made Gu Xi his boyfriend.

"Okay, let's go." Yan Le said, "Anyway, the two of us will leave for a few days...it won't be a big deal."

When he said this, he had the feeling that King Zhou You was lighting up the wolf smoke and booing and smiling. It was probably because he didn't plan to commute at all. After the relevant person in charge of the Tianshi Association found out that the two of them had slipped away quietly, they might be very upset. A lot of hair fell out.

Of course it is more important for Gu Xi to be happy.It is quite natural for Yan Le to think so.

Although he has always been praised as a gentleman with the style of the ancients, Yan Le knows that his mild temper is only because he doesn't care about many things.

Since you don't care, you don't need to pay too much attention and emotion to it.The concession in the eyes of others is not an important thing to Yan Le, but it is a coincidence that made his good name come true.

But in fact, Yan Le is a very double-standard, and in some respects, even overly strong person.

It's just that there are too few people and facts that he can care about. After 20 years, it's just Gu Xi and killing evil spirits.

The two hit it off immediately, and they fled that day, which is why they are now standing in Luocheng.

"I don't know anything else, but the level of Yin Qi is indeed much stronger than other areas." Gu Xi looked around and felt a little strange, "A Le, since we entered Luocheng, has there been no ghosts?" seen?"

It shouldn't.

With such a strong Yin Qi, it should be easier to breed powerful Yin ghosts.

"Not only that." Yan Le took a look at the watch, which is one of the products of the Academy of Science and Technology, which can directly display Yin Qi in numerical values, and also has the functions of detection and recording, "There are no Yin ghosts in Luocheng. "

"No ghosts?" Gu Qi repeated, "Not one?"

"Yes." Yan Le said, "Even the lowest level E-level ghosts don't exist."

They looked at each other, and Yan Le said softly: "The whole city of Luo..."

"It's much [cleaner] than anywhere in the world, Soulless."
