Chapter 102 Ascending the Tower of Babel
Speaking of this, Lu Zhiqiong didn't speak for a long time.Bai Jianxiao urged: "And then? Did you really kill Nan Quin?"
Lu Zhiqiong shook his head, "Let me ask you, if it were you who summoned a soul that was completely different from your imagination, what would you do? Should you keep her, or kill her again?"
"Of course I killed her." Bai Jianxiao was decisive, "If it's someone I like, I won't allow him to live like that."
"Okay, so what if there is a third option at this moment?" Lu Zhiqiong smiled, "What if there is another option, which is to start over from scratch? Can you resist the temptation of 'starting from scratch'?"
Bai Jianxiao fell silent.
"At that time, the asylum had just developed a method to deal with some lost people who could not be contained. Many times, although we did everything we could, some people's souls had suffered irreversible damage and could never wake up. We We could only keep them in cages and take good care of them, but in essence that place is no different from a lunatic asylum. These people have lost their human sanity, so many people in the organization suggested that they should be euthanized.”
"If you're really crazy and can't be saved, euthanasia is not unacceptable." Bai Jianxiao said.
"I don't agree, I hope to let them 'live happily'. You know fixed resource points? Generally speaking, it is a game controlled by players. At that time, the shelter also held some resource points, one of which was installed in The wall of thorns left by Nanqin is also called the 'South Wall'.
"The game installed on the south wall has a characteristic. When you enter the game, you will lose your memory and feeling, as if in a dream, and you will not feel pain when you die. We often put those lost people who cannot be contained Drive to the edge of the south wall, grab their heads and hit the wall, they will fall into the game, and the members who have been waiting in the game will kill them with a knife—”
"Wait! Why did you kill them? Wouldn't it make you crazier?" Bai Jianxiao asked.
"It was like this at the beginning, the more times you die in the game, the crazier the main body will become, but if the number of deaths increases, they will fade out of their original color like a piece of crumpled fabric that has been washed In other words, all their memories and emotions will be washed away, and they will become a docile... idiot."
"..." Bai Jianxiao was speechless for a while, "Don't tell me, you did this to Nan Quin."
"It will feel stupid to jump out, but when you are in the game, you will feel that it is a dead end that you can't turn back, and you can only keep going," Lu Zhiqiong said with a wry smile, "We will put Nanqin's The soul was 'washed'. She became a blank sheet of paper, an unworldly baby, cared for like other washed idiots, and lived happily every day with no pain at all. "
"and after?"
"Later? Thank you, Yin Qianling. Amor and I have always felt guilty about this. Later, I took Yin Qianling to meet Nanqin and left them alone time. When I came out, Yin Qianling told me that he had taken Nanqin Killed, and then beat me up roughly. Later, I recovered the 'Spirit', and put it back into the human Beta, and sealed it up again. But this matter is far from over, and its bad influence has been circulating down.
"First of all, Tang Yuan memorized the item of summoning souls, and took out this cursed thing again, and resurrected Amor.
"Secondly, I'm a bad teacher. I taught those paranoid bastards in the asylum that you can execute someone you love in the name of love."
"What do you mean?" Bai Jianxiao asked nervously.
"On February 2th, I was executed." Lu Zhiqiong grabbed his hand and pressed it to his heart, "They thought I was hopeless, but they still loved me, so they decided to use Nan The wall washes away all my sins."
"...You mean, did they kill you in the game?" Bai Jianxiao asked tremblingly.The heart touched by his hand was beating so powerfully, telling him that the man in front of him was still truly alive.
"Not once, but hundreds of times," Lu Zhiqiong nodded, "Let me start from the beginning."
"Amor and I drifted apart. Even though we were two inseparable halves at the beginning, in different environments, facing different people and things, we had no choice but to change each of us. Amor He even evolved his own ability, that is, the powerful perception. He can naturally resonate with all things in the world, perceive people's emotions, and see through people's thinking. This kind of ability must be very scary when it appears on others, but he doesn't Without the slightest bad intentions, he generously uses this ability to care for and comfort the lost. He has the majesty of a father, the love of a mother, the mercy of God and the innocence of a child—I didn’t make up such disgusting words myself, it was The rumors circulating in the shelter at that time..."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhiqiong couldn't help shaking his skin.Bai Jianxiao didn't care about this, he was more concerned about how Lu Zhiqiong died, pinched his arm, and urged, "And then?"
"The tower was built to match Amor's ability. At first, the tower was just an amplifier to enhance Amor's perception ability. Later, after countless studies and explorations, the tower even had the function of sending and receiving signals. In With the blessing of Amor's ability, we received the first signal from the outside world on a certain day about nine years ago. It was an early morning, and the national anthem was heard intermittently in the tower. It must have been an outside program. Live flag raising. I will never forget that day. When the singing sounded, everyone stopped their movements and looked at the tower with tears in their eyes. They were clearly singing "Get up, get up", but one by one He knelt down and worshiped the tower. Amor stood on the tower that bloomed like a lotus flower, like a god.
"At that time, it was the heyday of the asylum on earth. We had hope that others did not have. That year Tang Yuan also successfully became a human being. Unfortunately, he did not have the consciousness of being a human being at all. He would fight at will as usual. Flipping water glasses and vases, but you know, there are a lot of things that cats do that are cute but people do. I spent a long time training him to be human, with little success."
Bai Jianxiao recalled Tang Yuan's way of going his own way, and he deeply agreed.
"There is one thing that is different from others. He loves me very much. He has no human moral concept of right and wrong, but the purest animal love. That is to say, even if I slaughtered ten cities outside, in his eyes, he will not compare with me. Confiscating his canned cat food was even more egregious. There was a time when I was almost deserted, and he was with me through those years, and I am grateful to him for that.
"The farther and farther Amor and I go, the more he is admired by everyone, the more I hate him, the more I hate him, the more rude I treat him, and the more everyone hates me, just like a vicious circle. Amor is still as docile as before. No matter what I asked him to do, he would smile and agree. Once I said casually, did I tell you to die and you go too? He really turned around and wanted to jump off the tower —He is torturing me in his own way!"
"Then why didn't you tell everyone about your relationship with Amor?" Bai Jianxiao asked.
"I can't do it," Lu Zhiqiong clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "This is the greatest shame in my life, I'd rather take it to the grave!"
Jealousy and hatred for his other half of the soul, what an ugly emotion, just getting it in the sun made him feel ashamed, if he hadn't faced Bai Jianxiao, he wouldn't have the courage to say it.But it is precisely because of the face, exposing the darkest corners of his heart that he feels extra shame and pain.
Bai Jianxiao wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, deliberately interrupting his thoughts, "The water is getting cold, let's go to bed and talk?"
"Dry your hair first, you are prone to catch a cold because of your poor constitution." Lu Zhiqiong rummaged through the drawer for a hair dryer.
Bai Jianxiao thought to himself that he was already well-known in the industry for being able to record programs all night without complaining of fatigue, so why did he become "poor physique" here?He was full of opinions, but sat obediently and let Lu Zhiqiong dry his hair.
"Okay, okay, half-dry is fine, if you blow it again, it will damage your hair. Come on, let me blow it for you." Bai Jianxiao turned around, only to see that Lu Zhiqiong's hair was already dry.
"When did you dry your hair?!"
"Ah, it's very simple, just separate the water like this." Lu Zhiqiong shook the wet towel on his hand, and all the water in the towel instantly turned into water droplets and flew out, turning into a floating star. Water polo in the air.The towel was still in the twisted position, but it was completely dry.
"Okay," Bai Jianxiao admired his ability again, "Then why don't you help me dry my hair like this?"
Lu Zhiqiong was packing up the dirty clothes of the two of them, and said casually, "I dare not use it on you."
"What?" Bai Jianxiao understood what he meant, leaned on the washing machine, and asked with blinking eyes.
"I'm afraid I'll hurt you," Lu Zhiqiong sighed helplessly, and kissed the hair on the top of his head, "Baby, young master, let me go, I have to do laundry."
"Then how dare you use it on yourself?" Bai Jianxiao was wrapped in a big bath towel, walking around barefoot, stepping on the ground, "You just don't know how to feel sorry for yourself."
After the laborer Lu Zhiqiong finished washing his clothes, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the messy floor, grabbed Master Bai's feet, wiped them clean, stuffed them into fur slippers, and patted his buttocks, "Hey, wait for me on the bed, don't Add to the chaos."
Bai Jianxiao's face was still flushed from the heat, and she smiled ambiguously, "Then I'll warm your bed, hurry up."
Facts have proved that as long as he is with him, the sad atmosphere can't be condensed no matter what, Lu Zhiqiong's mouth has a smile that he can't detect, as if the past misfortune is just an advance payment for today's happiness.As long as he thought of Bai Jianxiao by his side, he would have infinite courage to face the past and the future.
Lu Zhiqiong cleaned up the housework, and went upstairs lightly. Bai Jianxiao was still not asleep, and was lying on his bed playing with his mobile phone.The desk lamp cast a dim yellow halo, and his lover was trapped in the quilt, fluffy and soft, like a strawberry dotted on a cream cake.
Seeing him come in, Bai Jianxiao rolled out and lay back in her bed, literally warming the bed for him.
"Where's the bedtime story?" Bai Jianxiao yawned.
"Be careful, you won't be able to sleep after listening to it?"
"If you don't listen to me, you won't be able to sleep. Hurry up." Bai Jianxiao kicked him lightly with her cold feet.Lu Zhiqiong took advantage of the situation to clamp his feet with his thighs, and put his long hands into his arms, "Let me hug him for a while."
Bai Jianxiao thought that she was usually a tall, straight and handsome young man, so why did she feel so petite when she was hugged by this guy, like a plush toy that was completely filled into the man's arms.But it didn't feel bad, he quietly counted the man's heartbeat, the vibration of his chest when he spoke, and the tremor of his Adam's apple every time he swallowed unconsciously.
"Anyway, later I felt that this was not going to work, and I had to make some changes, so I thought of climbing the Tower of Babylon." Lu Zhiqiong said, "Before, I didn't bother to climb the tower in order to train newcomers. When I really started When this incident happened, I realized that things were not that simple. In order to enter the Tower of Babel level, I took the initiative to accept [-] curses, and then it took only one year to successfully board the Tower of Babel."
"Then you lost that memory." Bai Jianxiao said, "Hasn't there been people who have climbed the Tower of Babel before? Have they also lost their memory?"
"Of course I thought of what you said. I visited some people who were said to have successfully climbed the tower, and found that as long as they came back from the paradise, they would lose that memory without exception, and even become crazy. In order to prevent this situation , I thought of a surefire way——
"Amor's ability is perception. No matter how far away we are, my heart is always connected with him. I want to transmit my memory in Paradise through Amor. Even if I forget, Amor will Remember what happened. It went well at first, and I should have met an angel in Paradise that seemed familiar to me, and then was introduced to a prophet who prophesied for me—one of them, the About you. I passed on all this information, and gradually, the amount of information transmitted was too large, which actually caused Amor to have an adverse reaction. "
"My God...that's why the information you got is incomplete, right?"
"No, Amor has a lot of backbone. Although the spiritual world is about to be destroyed by the huge amount of information, he still clenched his teeth and persisted, because he also knows how important this information is. But neither he nor I thought that the tower contained Surveillance, so he was covered in cold sweat and rolled on the ground in pain, all were seen by other people..."
"Who installed surveillance in the tower? Can't you notice it?" Bai Jianxiao couldn't help but shouted.
"It's because it was installed by one of my own people, so I didn't notice it," Lu Zhiqiong said quietly, "It was Tang Yuan and the others who pretended to be monitoring, and because they were afraid that I would do something to hurt Amor, they sent Amo After discovering Amor's strange behavior, they rushed to the side of the tower, destroyed the tower gate, and then forcibly brought out Amor who was receiving information. My hard-working plan, I risked everything in Paradise All the information obtained in it is destroyed in one day.”
