Chapter 1858 City of the Dead
I have to say that the woman in front of me is indeed a beauty, especially different from other people, she has a very special temperament——to put it bluntly, it is called Xianqi, of course, it can also be called non-human fireworks in popular terms .
"You are so beautiful."
At this moment Renzi was also staring at the woman in front of her and couldn't help feeling emotional, but when she heard Renzi's words, the woman smiled slightly and lowered her head.
"It's a great honor to receive your appreciation. My name is Scarface. It's the first time I've met you. Please give me your advice."
"Scar... face?"
"Is that your name?"
Hearing this rather strange name, all the girls were taken aback, while the woman nodded.
"Yes, that's my current name."
"That is to say, you used to have other names?"
Saten Saten is also staring at Scarface curiously at this moment——but before that, Fang Zheng said that you should take a look at your family's Lei, she is standing beside Saten and staring at her right now.
How can it be so easy for the protagonist to open the harem?
"Yes, before that, people called me a murderer."
"………Hey?"
Looking at Scarface who said this with an elegant smile, the girls were all stunned.
"There is also death, not human, Scarface, Maria, stone head head, death, Scarface..."
"Okay, stop it."
Fangzheng waved his hand, and the girl who was introducing herself stopped immediately. The girls hiding behind Fangzheng also looked at each other, and then Leizi said in a low voice.
"Why do I feel that the way she speaks doesn't look like a human being, it's a bit like a robot..."
"I feel the same way, what about my lord sister?"
"I didn't feel any radio wave reaction from her, but this person is indeed a bit weird."
Hearing the whispers of the girls behind him, Fangzheng coughed and walked forward.
"We are foreigners who have just come here. If you don't mind, can you walk with us for a while? By the way, I have something else I want to ask you."
"Of course there is no problem."
Facing Fangzheng's inquiry, Scarface still had that smile on his face, as if he didn't mind at all, and in fact, she really didn't mind.
Soon, from Scarface, Fang Zheng learned about the current situation in this world.
But that doesn't match what's in that book.
In fact, it has always been a question whether there are gods in this world. The gods have never appeared in front of human beings, let alone disappear with a sentence of "It's over, screw it up". In fact, at the beginning, no one noticed that day was coming—no, people didn't even know which day it was.
Generally speaking, when the gods want to issue an oracle or change the world, there will always be some movement, such as a thunderstorm, a volcanic earthquake, and even the village party secretary has to use a loudspeaker at the entrance of the village to shout. In the end, nothing happened, as if one day, the gods suddenly remembered something and thought "ah, okay, then I will fulfill your wishes", and then human beings unconsciously... come true fulfilled their wishes.
don't want to die.
This is the characteristic of all life, no life desires death, human beings naturally do the same, so the "gods" fulfilled their wishes, and no one will die.
No, to be precise, even after death, they will continue to move and exist.
Of course, at the beginning, the countries and governments of this world hoped to hide this secret, but of course this is impossible, no one will die, this is not just a rhetoric. Even if they are shredded and cremated, they will continue to exist.
In this case, the people on this land had to choose to coexist with the dead, but soon, the situation changed.
First of all, there will be more and more dead people, and more importantly, when you die, you don't have to worry about death, but can get "eternal" eternal life. Many people can't bear this temptation and choose Death, and of course...the total collapse of society and institutions.
The dead will not be killed, so there is no way to suppress them, and there is no way to subdue them, but the living will join the ranks of the dead after being killed, so in the end, more and more dead people, more and more living people few.
Not only that, but there is another serious problem.
That is, "immortality" itself is not perfect.
In the beginning, the dead will indeed retain their original bodies, but gradually, as time goes by, their flesh will gradually rot, their spirits will be eroded, and finally turned into monsters with only the desire to survive. To put it bluntly, the final outcome of these dead people will only become undead zombies.
Gradually, both the dead and the living realized that "immortality" was not a blessing, but more like a curse, so they prayed again, longing for death.
But this time, the "gods" also fulfilled their wish and created the "grave keeper" to complete this mission.
In the end, the world became what it is now.
What's more serious is that after this, no new life was born, and the passage of time in this world has become very slow, and it can even be said to have stagnated. The means people used to distinguish the seasons and time were completely useless, and no one even knew how many days and years passed since then.
"This is too strange."
After listening to Scarface's narration, the girls were also dumbfounded, and Misaka Mikoto quickly expressed her opinion.
"If everyone doesn't like this state, why not just make a wish and restore the world to its original state?"
"Because it can't be done."
Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Can't do it?"
"That's right, although I said that wishes come true, everyone's wishes are definitely different. Some people want world peace, some people want the world to be destroyed, some people's wish may be longevity, and some people may just want to confess their success. Obviously, if this so-called god can really realize any wish of human beings, then the world may have been in chaos long ago. Therefore, the way he realizes his wish must be the majority system."
"Majority?"
"Look, suppose there are ten people, each of whom has a different desire, what about a hundred people, a thousand people, or ten thousand people? Then if there is any common desire among ten thousand people? World destruction and world peace are certainly neither. The majority, and others that involve their own interests, will definitely not win the approval of others, so the only thing left is the desire to 'live' as the survival instinct of life. And..."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng paused for a moment. He was sure that there must be some malfunction in that program. Now Fangzheng just doesn't know what the malfunction is.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as you find Orsta, then the next step will not be a problem.
Fangzheng also asked Scarface if there was a city named Orsta. Unexpectedly, Scarface was planning to go there, so Fangzheng invited Scarface to go with him. Someone found an abandoned school bus—although it was rusty and in disarray, but for Fang Zheng, who has the ability to manipulate time, he can turn it into a new one just by changing hands.
Soon, the restored school bus played its role again, leading a group of people towards Osta.
The journey was fairly peaceful, only a group of fare bullies were encountered, and Fang Zheng sent them away without taking much time. On the contrary, the situation in the car is quite interesting, especially Saten Ruiko—now Fangzheng is very sure that Saten Ruiko has the aura of the protagonist, because after getting in the car, she has been curiously walking around the scar, without paying attention at all Lei Lei's resentful little eyes at the back gave Fang Zheng a feeling that after eating up his girlfriend, he was looking for a new love.
Right now, Fangzheng just wants to wait and see what happens, and see when Saten Leizi's harem catches fire... Anyway, dead friends don't die, and besides, isn't the harem on fire the protagonist's daily life?
Finally, at noon on the third day, everyone finally saw the legendary city of death.
Ottas.
"What's wrong with you, Miss Scarface?"
Looking at Scarface sitting next to her, Saten Renko was a little puzzled. From just now, Scarface was a little restless, as if something was unbearable.
"I sense the unburied dead."
Scarface replied softly, and at the same time stretched out his hand, stroking the shovel on his knee.
"I want to bury them."
"Huh? How many?"
"At least...more than one million people."
"Hey!?"
Hearing this, the others also screamed and looked at Scarface in surprise.
"A million... dead people?"
"That's right."
Scarface nodded, while Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed out the window.
"Look outside."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the girls came to the car window, looked out, and then saw many grave mounds on both sides of the road, and there was a shovel stuck on top of these grave mounds without exception.
"This is………?"
"Probably the tomb guards who came here to bury the dead before. They should all have been killed."
"This... this is too dangerous, Miss Scarface."
Looking at the densely packed tombs of gravekeepers on both sides of the road, Renzi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, but Scarface nodded.
"Of course, but I'm the gravekeeper, and that's my job."
"Mr. Fangzheng?"
Seeing that Scarface could not be persuaded, Leizi turned to Fangzheng.
"What do you think?"
"Although I am not a grave keeper, I still want to maintain order and order in the world."
Fangzheng held the steering wheel with one hand, staring coldly at the distant city.
"Dead people should stay underground obediently, instead of wandering on the ground, um... Maybe, I should get out my firewood list."
1.2 million dead people, it must be very fragrant when burned.
