Chapter 837 Fire on the Abyss

Moon surface, Kepler Valley entrance, lift area.

Huaishi pulled the dog leash and looked around curiously with Pogou, wondering where the booked flight was.

Then I saw a silent disciple behind Garlandon step forward, take out a slender bone-white horn from his arms, and directly lift the mask under the protection, and bite it directly without even taking a breath. He stopped his mouthpiece, puffed up his cheeks and started blowing hard.

What is this?

A space concert?

Huai Shi was dumbfounded, but then she heard a mighty roar echoing in the vacuum.

That is not a frequency that can be heard by human ears. Only with the blessing of the ultimate intention can one feel the distant echo like a whale song.

Passed in a vacuum.

Blows into the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shadow slowly descended above the moon's orbit. Under the light of the lift field, a black spot quickly enlarged, and finally, a huge body emerged.

The long tail rolled up the waves of source material, and bursts of blue light emerged like water waves, illuminating its appearance.

The signature huge head and slender body, even the exaggerated size comparable to that of a battleship, made Huai Shi want to scratch his head.

That's a...sperm whale?

A sperm whale jumping around in space and swimming in the vacuum...

No, is it so magical? !

He completely forgot that he was holding a more magical thing in his hand, and the thing in his hand was staring directly at the sperm whale, and he was already licking his lips eagerly.

It's something I haven't tried yet...

Is it tasty?

"Is this your first time meeting my friend?"

Next to Huai Shi, a figure came up and chatted privately with Huai Shi on the channel: "That is an alchemy creature transformed by Shi Keo Society. It was re-created with the descendants of Leviathan and finally got a living border relic... It's like It's the same as the biochemical beasts in America, but it's much more convenient.

Oops, your dog is so cute, can I pet it? "

The broken dog turned around, looked coldly at the eager man, and bared his teeth.

"Haha, what a character."

The visitor waved his hand indifferently and took a step back.

Through his mask, Huaishi could see the cigar still burning behind the mask.

Apart from in games, this was the first time he had seen a smoker who could light a cigarette in a space suit...

"Uh, hello, what's your name?" Huai Shi stretched out his hand.

The man smoking the cigar shook hands with him and shook his hand twice: "American Alchemist, Izzy, Izzy Coatl... Actually, the full name is longer than this, but you can just call me Izzy. "

He seemed to be about the same age as Huai Shi, with a smile, and he didn't seem as distant and repulsive as others.

He has energy and kindness that other alchemists don't have.

"Huaishi, from the Tower of Ivory..."

Huai Shi introduced herself, but before she finished speaking, Izzy nodded clearly: "The classical music classroom, I know, I know, you are quite famous in the Ivy League!"

"Uh, really..."

"Yes." Izzy nodded and sighed: "To be honest, I didn't expect that my niece could still make friends with such a arrogant character. It's really surprising."

"..."

Huai Shi's expression twitched, and she suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait, niece? Who is it?"

"Huh? Liz, Liz Hetmock, hasn't she told you about me?" Izzy looked over curiously: "Maybe it's because I, as an uncle, idle around every day, which is more embarrassing in the family..."

Huai Shi was silent for a long time, moved a little to the side, and then moved a little more, guarding against this guy who would pull out his sword and cut him if he disagreed.

This time, parents came to the door after bullying their children...

Who would have thought that this guy is so young and is actually an uncle.

"Hahaha, don't worry. Although they are said to be a family, they actually don't have any similar blood sources. They just obey the tradition."

Izzy took a long puff of cigar, and his smile became more and more cheerful in the smoke.

Patted Huai Shi on the back.

"Just think of me as a tourist." Izzy shrugged: "I am a blank slate ascender, I don't even have a stigmata, and I don't know anything about alchemy. I just came to greet his old friend on behalf of an elder in the family. That's all. If something happens, for Liz's sake, remember to give me a hand."

Huaishi said nothing.

The image shows a certain kind of "smiling yet polite embarrassment".

As for Izzy's self-introduction and purpose, he didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

Izzy seemed to be aware of his wariness, but she didn't care. She remained as enthusiastic as before. She leaned next to Huai Shi and started to loudly introduce the 'classmates' to the new students like a yellow-haired supporting character in a cartoon.

"The one-eyed one is called Ragnar. He is the alchemist of the Silver Monument. He is a bit arrogant and has a bad temper... The one behind him is the Russian alchemist Valery. He is good at metallurgy. , but compared to an alchemist, he is more like an ascendant. This seems to be very similar to you, but he seems to be less easy to deal with than Ragnar, haha...

As for the one following Garlandon, it is the pharmacist Rachel; the old lady Ima is the royal alchemist of Egypt; as for the autistic ones, they are all students of Garlandon. They took an oath of silence and would not speak at all except for necessary communication when participating in the secret ceremony..."

The names of the dishes were all mentioned, but Huai Shi felt dizzy and couldn't remember any of them.

Anyway, to summarize the central idea is that everyone is not easy to get along with, rejects outsiders, and looks down on you for your low cultural level, but it doesn't matter. If you feel depressed and bored and want to talk, don't forget to find me.

Bai was taken advantage of.

After they finished speaking, they were already on the 'ship'.

After passing through the large mouth like a sperm whale's gate, the space behind it is unexpectedly wide, with conference rooms, lounges, and even individual rooms for everyone. Of course, the most important thing is the top alchemy workshop in the world...

Each item is one that has been on Huaishi's shopping list for hundreds of years, and can only be looked at during holidays, without even daring to click the shopping button.

In the past, Huaishi would have taken risks to get his mother's vote...

Fortunately, times have changed.

Now that the things from the Ivory Tower can be procured for free at any time, Huai Shi has a lot more confidence, and can even hold up his pants and say "that's it".

After preparing the room for everyone, the puppets, who were as alive as ordinary people, returned to their jobs.

The son of Leviathan, who resembles a sperm whale, swings his long tail in the silent whale song and swims towards the deeper and darker space.

Huai Shi held the dog and stood in front of the large French window in the corridor, and suddenly felt the benefits of fantasy painting style.

Countless stars flew past his eyes, and he couldn't even feel the slightest sway, and even the gravity remained normal. There are green plants on both sides, and there are even seats and round tables in the corner for guests to rest at any time.

Unlike other space stations where life is hard and stretched, the supplies and services here are so abundant that it makes people cry.

Ring the bell to summon 24-hour services, including massages and spas.

A fantastic one.

Is this alchemy? Love it, love it!

After leaving the moon, you can see that everyone's faces have improved a lot. At least they are away from the entanglement of misfortune and bad luck, ensuring their own safety.

Only Huaishi was still cautious, stuffing her spacesuit into her saddlebag, always ready to run away.

I took a drop pod and the drop pod blew up. I went to Kepler and the base blew up.

He was afraid that the ship would also explode...

The world is getting more and more outrageous these days. There are even people who dare to escape from dark side prisons, so be careful.

What if, right?

Now, in front of the window, Huai Shi stared at the twinkling stars, and gradually became fascinated.

Until the phantom of a crow appeared over his shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?" Tong Ji asked, "So entranced?"

"How should I put it? It always feels weird that there is something as sci-fi as space in such a fantasy world."

Huai Shi pinched her chin and sighed in confusion: "There is a subtle sense of cross-fertilization. You see, sitting in a fantasy realm and eating science fiction...isn't it inappropriate?"

"Isn't this normal?" Tong Ji waved her little wings calmly, with a look of innocence on her face, "Isn't science meant to replace magic? It's not strange. It's better to say it's normal to have this.

Otherwise, what do you think the current situation is? "

"Well……"

Huai Shi thought for a long time and asked tentatively: "A big ball in a glass cover?"

"Isn't that similar to the definition of the earth?" Tong Ji said, "In the final analysis, the current state is just a collection of matter. Apart from being able to bask in the sun, it is no different from hell."

"No, that's not what I mean." Huai Shi shook his head and explained: "Before I became an ascendant, I always believed in the infinite sea of ​​stars and the existence of aliens..."

"Um?"

Tong Ji looked over in confusion: "You can believe it now. Do you think it's all a lie?"

"Ah? Isn't it?"

Huai Shi was dumbfounded, "Didn't you say that the sun is essentially the manifestation of the Pillar of Divine Essence? So many stars are just projections of destiny... Besides, aren't there any living things on alien planets?"

"It depends on how you understand it."

Tong Ji thought for a moment and told him: "Essentially speaking, everything in the current situation, including the earth and space, so many stars and infinite space, is just a way of manifestation.

The result of an expression.

A kind of "world" elaborated by laws and science has been deeply rooted day by day from hundreds of years ago to the present and cannot be shaken. But this is not inconsistent with the ‘common sense’ recognized by the sublime. "

Huai Shi shook his head: "But in such a world, where is hell, Tong Ji?"

In such a world, is there really a need for something as illusory as hell to ordinary people?

"Ha, that's a good question."

She laughed, raised her wings and leaned on Huai Shi's neck, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, what do you think of the existence of depth, Huai Shi?

Do you think that for the current situation, where is the entity of hell? How do you explain the spatial relationship between hell and hell? "

Huai Shi was stunned.

Speechless.

Tong Ji continued to ask: "Isn't this cold vacuum in front of you also a hell for humans? To the earth, astronauts are very similar to sublime beings? In the eyes of humans, abyssal creatures , is it different from aliens?"

Huai Shi was silent for a long time and shook his head instinctively: "You are confusing the concepts. You know this is not the same thing at all."

Nothing has changed about their depth.

Huaishi also couldn't feel the existence of the abyss.

There is indeed nothing wrong with the current situation here.

But Tong Ji's words made him fall into deep thought.

Because the world in front of us is also a 'hell' where humans cannot survive.

and……

"Are you starting to understand, Huai Shi?"

Tong Ji smiled softly and seemed to sigh: "The world has always been the world, Huai Shi, it has just been redefined.

Ah, to use modern terminology, it should be the ‘observer effect’, right? "

"In ancient times, the human world was so simple. As long as the round sky and square earth were enough, they would be satisfied. At worst, add an elephant underneath. If you feel that it can't hold up, add a giant turtle.

If the sky is going to collapse, cut off a few turtles' legs to prop it up. If there is a flood, then it must be the anger of the gods, and you have to build a boat to float it. "

She said, "At that time, the existence of the gods was the wall of the reality. They were derived from the pillars, existed in accordance with the destiny, followed the wishes of mankind, interpreted the world, and blocked the intrusion of hell.

But God’s time has passed, and they are all dead.

The century of man has arrived.

Unlike the past, magic has disappeared, gods are dead, humans have redefined everything, and the world has changed. However, the essence has not changed at all.

What has changed is just the perspective from which to observe it all.

So there are laws, there is a framework, there are three major blockades and the existence of science, and there is this endless space that has never existed in the past.

But nothing exists without reason. "

“True, the radiance of the stars is a symbol of the fate of heaven.

But if we trace its origin, there must be a source.

Even if there is nothing in the dark sky and the so-called stars are just aggregation of lifeless matter, they still have irreplaceable significance. "

"——The so-called space is originally the manifestation of endless hell in the current situation."

Tong Ji stared at the countless stars and told him: "The end of billions of stars, where those cold lights come from, is hell itself."

There has never been any difference between the so-called abyss and the so-called space for humans.

They are also remote and mysterious places, full of dangers and taboos.

In the dark space, those sparkling things, those erratic phantoms, are all projections from hell in the far depths.

Separated by a long distance, their power attracts the gathering of matter, forming a desolate form to show their existence.

In the end, under the power of the law called "universal gravity", this dazzling sea above the depth was formed.

"Look, Huaishi, the fire of the sun has disappeared."

In the reflection of the glass, among the countless dancing lights, the magnificent phantom hugged his shoulders, lowered its head, and whispered in his ear:

"Today we are sailing over the abyss..."
