God's Prayer and Nightwish

Chapter 56 54

Seeing the two of them boarding the boat, Ye Yuan was extremely nervous and asked, "Have you got the things?"

"Well," Hiji said briefly, "Let's go."

Yewish hastily closed the hatch, the noise of the submarine's engine was very low, almost mixed with the sound of the wind from Humora's altitude, the hull shook slightly and lifted off the ground, the landing gear was retracted, and the submarine left the tarmac silently .

"That's..." Ye Yuan suddenly saw a sudden figure in the rearview mirror. He thought he was wrong at the first moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look - a girl in a blue dress standing in the center of the earth The gate of the building seemed to be looking straight in their direction.Before he had time to discern her identity more carefully, his vision was already blocked by Hiroshi's body: "Don't look around, just sail the boat properly."

"Oh..." Ye Yuan could only put away her puzzled eyes and concentrate on navigating back to the exclusive route of the Laurel, the submarine was hidden in the night.

After returning to the Laurel, Feng Yi'an took a look at the contents of the barrel and went down to the replacement center in the bilge. He was very familiar with the structure of the hull, and Feng Deweien didn't bother to follow along.Seeing that the two of them had returned safely with their belongings, Feng Deweien asked casually, "It's going well? You haven't been seen." Unexpectedly, Hisi had a subtle expression and remained silent.

"No way?" Von der Wien asked, "Who did you meet?"

"It doesn't matter," Hiraji said, "Even if she didn't meet her, she would have known I was back, but...she met me at the door, so she probably didn't know that I was going to the Museum of Natural Science and Technology."

"Anna Gogol?" Von der Wien was extremely surprised, and his voice was inevitably a little loud, "How did she know that you would appear in the Center of the Earth?" He frowned slightly: "Someone on the Laurel said it?"

"Probably not," Hiroshi shook his head, "It seems that she saw it by accident while attending a banquet upstairs."

Feng Deweien was a little unbelievable, and said in surprise, "Such a coincidence?"

"It's such a coincidence," Hiroshi sighed, "I wanted to procrastinate, but sometimes fate really doesn't give you any face."

Von der Wien said: "It's useless to procrastinate, and don't you have a plan in your heart?"

Hiji was silent for a while, and Feng Deweien gloated a little: "Then you deliberately didn't answer her communication request before, and then met her, how embarrassing it is."

Hiji said expressionlessly, "If there's anything embarrassing, I've said everything that needs to be said."

"Of course," von der Wien raised his eyebrows, "otherwise you can come back so smoothly?"

Hiraji was about to answer when he caught a glimpse of something golden flickering by the door from the corner of his eye, but when he looked back, it had already disappeared.

Hirosi frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, but before he had time to think about it, Feng Deweien had already gracefully brushed off the tea leaves floating on the cup, and asked leisurely, "So the wedding date has been set?"

"Not sure, it's yellow." Hiji said.

Von der Wien's hands froze: "What do you mean?"

Hiji said: "It means that I have no other allies except you, and I will die in your house."

Feng Deweien was stunned for two seconds, and roared: "You are sick!" He was too excited and spilled a lot of hot tea water with a shake of his hand, but he couldn't let go and threw away the precious milk-blue tea cup, grinning his teeth from the heat.

Feng Deweien finally put down the teacup, and put his finger directly into the ice water glass in Hiji's hand, Hiji's face also turned blue: "You are so disgusting."

Feng Deweien didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said incredulously: "Why?"

Hisashi lowered his head, pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Nightwish?" Von der Wien asked suspiciously, "Isn't it..."

Hiroshi's expression was a little awkward: "Why didn't it happen..."

"To say something that is not human..." Von der Wien took out his fingers from the ice water, and took out a square towel to wipe the crevices of each finger carefully, "Don't say that you are engaged to someone else for family business, even if you are real Fall in love with someone else, get married and have a child, and that child will never leave you."

Hiji was silent for a while, feeling a dull pain in his heart, and said, "Yes."

The strange dull pain throbbed twice in the heart, and then spread to the limbs along the arteries, and he said again: "He will go."

Feng Deweien was speechless, and asked after a long time: "Even if it is good to leave, the people who should leave will not be able to keep."

No matter if you are a weak child or a grown man, whether it is Feng Yi'an to him, or Yi to Feng Yi'an, if you are about to part in life or parting in death, there will always be some helplessness in the world that cannot be changed.

"Is it worth it?" Von der Wien asked softly, as if he was asking His Secretary, but also himself.

does it worth?Hisuji thought for a while, and turned out the door—he was very familiar with the Laurel, and soon found mutants, Mio and Anxi in a row of guest rooms on the east side, and Mio leaned aside with his arms folded expressionlessly— —He seemed to be like this most of the time, he didn't know what he was thinking, An Xi sat on the carpet with a bunch of mutants, playing poker noisily.

"Where's Yewish?" Sisi asked, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Rest in peace, what about Yewish?" Sisi asked again.

"Huh?" An Xi looked up blankly, "I didn't see...ah! Why did you peek at my cards!"

Hiji looked around, the room was huge, but obviously there was no familiar blonde, so he could only go out and continue looking for it by himself.

The Laurel might sound big, but there are only those places where there are general activities. Hijiri searched all the places where the lights were on, but there was no sign of Yewish, so he muttered in his heart.Standing in the corridor on the fourth floor, he suddenly saw the lights on in the white laboratory in the yard downstairs. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the huge Laurel also shook, and a slight tremor came from the soles of his feet.

Nuclear energy core activated?Hiji hurriedly went downstairs, and saw that Feng Yi'an and Feng Deweien were already in the laboratory, and An Xi was also there.

Hiji asked, "Is that piece of plutonium metal usable?"

Feng Yi'an lowered his head to check the various data of the instrument, and said, "We'll have to wait a while to find out."

After all, the whole set of things in this laboratory has never been put into use, the warm-up process is very slow, and the nuclear reactor is roaring mechanically under their feet. Everyone on the Laurel should have felt it, but Mr. Feng has not appeared to say anything so far.

"Anxi, come and take a look at this," Feng Yi'an greeted Anxi, and said, "Why does this place consume so much energy?"

Anxi looked around, checked the instrument according to the data, and was about to dismantle it, Feng Deweien was startled: "Wait a minute."

Feng Yi'an raised his hand to indicate that it's okay, An Xi obviously looked very thin, and his clothes were empty, but he found a lot of tools from nowhere, and he seemed to be carrying them with him.His thin white fingers touched the operation panel twice along the seemingly tight seams, and then cut it in with a metal piece and slightly tilted it, and the entire panel was removed.

Hijiki was also quite surprised—the Anxi in his impression was just a simple-minded young man, if it wasn't for Mio's protection, he would definitely not be able to survive a day in the wasteland.Later, when I saw the other party shooting a gun in the subway, I knew that he still had some basic self-protection ability, but I didn't expect him to be able to do mechanical maintenance.

"How is it?" Feng Yi'an leaned over and asked, An Xi explained in a low voice, and Hiji turned to ask Feng Deweien: "Have you seen Nightwish?"

"No," von der Wien said casually, "doesn't the puppy follow you every day?"

Hisashi frowned: "Don't call him that..."

"I can't even say it now..." Von der Wien rolled his eyes halfway, "But if I were him, knowing that you would not hesitate to turn against Gogol because of him, and take such a big risk, it must be a lot of pressure."

"I know," Hiji said, "so I didn't tell him before, just because I was afraid that he would think too much."

"You are really..." Von der Wien raised his head, and stopped talking, Hijiri stared at him indifferently.

"Forget it, forget it, as long as you are happy." Feng Deweien raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and went to the front to monitor the status of the equipment with Feng Yi'an and Anxi.

From the moment the laboratory began to operate with a bang, the serum experiment officially began.This is an experiment of great significance that only a few people know, and its success will greatly change the power structure of the world today-no one knows the real impact of the serum, and no one knows whether the serum can Completely cure the mutants, and where will these cured mutants go.

Under Feng Yi'an's guidance, Anxi was mixing the most effective food and nutrition agents to stimulate hematopoietic stem cells, while drawing Mio's blood regularly and quantitatively - each time no more than 250cc, Mio originally wanted to ask them to draw 800 or 1000 at a time, Anxi ruthlessly refuted it.

On the other side, with the help of von der Wien, Hiroshi has collected a series of sufficiently complete evidence, which not only includes the true identities of Dawn and "Shen Cang", but also contains the old Mander's story about the "Moon Exploration Base". At the same time, he had to face up to the fact that his father, the real God, may have long passed away. As for his death was just an accident deliberately hidden by Fan Xiulianen, or It is directly related to her, he still doesn't know.

On the night he came back from the Center of the Earth Building, when Hiji finally found Yewish, he had already gone to bed. Hiji watched him by the bed for a while, and pulled the quilt for him wordlessly, and there was nothing else he could do.Since the early morning of the second day, Yeyuan seems to have started to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally. It’s not that he didn’t do what he told him, but he no longer followed him step by step, unless he answered questions or said a word to him. explain.

This kind of indifference is only for him.

Both Yewish and Anxi became little assistants of Feng Yi'an's experiment—the content of this experiment was highly classified, and no one on the Laurel was allowed to enter or leave the laboratory within a radius of 20 meters. The custom-made breathing mask, wearing neat black leather gloves, looks like a mercenary regiment in the shape of Shura.In fact, even with the help of the power they still deliberately retained, Hijiri had successfully entered and exited the Center of the Earth Building several times, and got back his communicator, many key documents, and the content of the next monthly meeting.

On the day before the monthly meeting, Hiroshi finally had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Feng Lao, who was always on the lookout for a dragon. Seeing that the other party dismissed all the attendants who were on standby in the hall, he already knew that Feng Lao wanted to chat with him. What.

"How much do you know about advanced mutants?" Feng Lao just sat down, took a sip of water, and asked straight to the point.

"Not many," Hiraji replied honestly, "just as many as other people in this world."

Feng Lao nodded: "Because of the small number of samples, so far no one can accurately say what the conditions for advanced mutations are, and how many advanced mutants are there in the entire continent."

Sisi remained silent, and Elder Feng went on to say: "I lived longer than you, and I have seen what the world was like when it was darker. At that time, Humoti and Wasteland were no better than now, and people eat people. It happened every day. Sometimes a mutant got mixed into a refuge station, and hundreds of people in the whole station were wiped out overnight. People were panic-stricken. Before the mutant monster came in, people had already started killing people. "

"For a while, everyone was saying that it was better to be caught and bitten by mutants than to be killed. After all, to be killed is to die. Advanced mutants had already appeared at that time. At first, everyone I thought this was the end of human evolution - all human beings should mutate, the selected genes will become advanced mutants, and those eliminated will decay or become walking dead, and in the future there will only be advanced mutants on this earth. It's a new world."

Hiji didn't know that there was such a period of time, and asked: "Did you often go to the wasteland?"

Old Feng shook his head, but he didn't deny it, he just didn't want to say more about it.He took another sip of water, and continued: "Of course, people soon discovered that advanced mutants have two fatal flaws. One is that they cannot bear offspring, and the other is that the mutation will eventually end. Knowing that high-level mutants are also facing death, and it is impossible to predict, sometimes it may be just an insignificant small hole, the bleeding cannot be stopped, and the game is over."

As he spoke, he put down the cup in his hand, and stroked lightly with his fingertips in front of his throat.

Hiji nodded: "The ability of mutants who live longer is also constantly improving, but every day they live is another day of gambling with fate, so the number of advanced mutants has always maintained a delicate balance."

Hiji thought about the group of people on the 29nd. Starting from the [-]nd, the next number was [-], and then it was in the [-]s. There were many numbers missing in the middle, and they probably disappeared like this.

"That's right," Elder Feng said, "So, have you ever thought about the real consequences of the experiment you are conducting now?"

"Forget about Feng Yi'an's child. He has been naive since he was a child, and the world he sees is always black and white. It is torture for a person like him to stay in Humoti. But you are different. You will take over Leonis, Those who want to take over this city in the sky cannot look at everything in such a simple way, and have to consider the macroscopic impact."

Hiji understood somewhat, he leaned back on the chair and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"Until now, no one knows what the result of the experiment will be. Let's assume that the serum is successful, and all the advanced mutants have recovered their identities as humans. What about those heaven-defying abilities on them? Will they disappear together? Or... ..."

"Or will they turn around and become the most powerful armed force on this continent, and become the new master of power in this world?" Hijiri continued his words, completing what he hadn't said, "In the 'Invincible' Under the halo, the "genetic decay" that will come at an unknown time is originally like a god of death, moody, and it is the last constraint and weight that fate puts on advanced mutants. Without this last shackle, mutation may become an instant Genetic and even racial superiority."

"That's right." Feng Lao nodded, "But I also understand that a contract is a contract."

Hiji knew that he was talking about the terms of the transaction that No. [-] and his party helped him with - although the specific counterparty did not know, he could probably guess it roughly.

"My suggestion is..." Mr. Feng said slowly, Hiji felt that he was finally going to get to the point of this conversation.

"Try your best to delay the progress of the serum," Feng Lao said, "Finish what you should do first, then..."

"I understand what you mean," Hiji raised his hand to interrupt him, "We will have the final say on the outcome of the experiment. After all, no one has guaranteed the success of the experiment from the very beginning."

"That's right." Feng Lao nodded and said, "I thought it would take more time to convince you."

"Oh, really?" Hiji lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking, and asked casually, "If I don't agree, what method do you want to use to persuade me?"

"It's nothing, let's take a step back?" Feng Lao said, "For example, make a quantitative serum and supply it only to this group of people, or... only supply it to the leader of this group of people, and then destroy all the remaining serum and production methods .”

Hiroshi remained silent—as long as there is a supply of serum, the serum will be able to be produced again one day, unless...

If the occurrence of advanced mutants is random, then blood components like Mio are one in a million. If he is gone, it is hard to say that there will be another blood sample with such a constitution.

Therefore, the most fundamental solution should be... to get rid of the blood source, which can best ensure the absolute stability of the current world power balance.

He could think of this, let alone Mr. Feng who took the initiative to talk to him, but Mr. Feng is very smart, and he only suggested half of the suggestion, and he would usually think of the rest by himself.This kind of thing, once there is a sign, it will continue to take root and germinate.

It's just that I don't know what von der Wien means...but if he also means the same thing, he won't even think about reconciling with his brother in this life.

Hiji stood up, straightened his trouser legs, and said, "I understand your suggestion."

"Yeah." Feng Lao also stood up.

"But it's up to me how to do it." Hijiki said again.

Feng Lao raised his eyebrows: "That's natural."

Hiuji nodded and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, Feng Yi'an is unlikely to be the first to agree with your suggestion."

"Even if he doesn't have any medicine in his hand, it's hard for him to watch a person die, let alone hold a prescription that can heal the world," Hiji said, "Although I haven't seen it in these years, there are some things that are not will change, and you educated him, you know that."

"It is precisely because you know this that you chose to talk to me instead of your two sons," Hiji looked out the window, the Laurel was floating in the outer sea, and Humoti could not be seen outside, only the night sea and stars .

Hijiri said: "The me in the past would most likely agree with what you said. Put all the weights on both sides of the balance and weigh the weight. The choice is easily laid out in front of you."

"What about now?" Sensing the trend of the topic, Mr. Feng squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you changed your mind now?"

"Now I just feel that living like this is too boring," Hiroshi said, still looking at the sea, "doing the so-called right thing according to the formula, sacrificing my freedom, sacrificing my time, sacrificing my preferences, this is also Forget it all, but also choose to sacrifice for others. For something that seems to have greater benefits, but is actually illusory, but in fact, no one can calculate the result behind it."

"I just thought of a book called 'God in Calculation'. Looking back at myself, did the weather intervention that turned the typhoon really protect the people? What is the world at the feet of Humoti? Our Is the cause and effect of what we do, is it really so simple and clear, and the result so clear?"

Old Feng raised his eyebrows: "Why did you go to the wasteland and become a philosopher?"

Hisashi smiled, remembering 29 who always had such emotions, and said, "Probably, the wasteland is a very suitable place to think about life."

Old Feng was noncommittal: "Then what do you mean?"

Hiji withdrew his gaze, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing, I just feel a little ironic."

"Before that, my father didn't care, my stepmother and uncle joined together, together with my ignorant and cowardly younger brother, trying to erase me from this world," Hijiri snorted softly, "On the contrary A group of strangers met by accident, but they cooperated very reassuringly from the beginning to the end."

Mr. Feng thought for a while and said, "I understand." After laughing at himself, he didn't insist anymore: "I'm old too, and sometimes I don't have to take what the old man said so seriously."

Sisi nodded slightly, and before leaving, Elder Feng asked again: "What about Yewish? Where is that child on the scale?"

Hiroshi paused, but didn't turn around.

Feng Lao: "Once the situation changes, if you are no longer you, you may not be able to protect him well."

Hisashi turned his face sideways, thought for a while, but didn't answer anything, and continued to walk away.

Pig's trotter will no longer be a pig's trotter in the future, he will be a human being!
