Chapter 923 Talent Show

Traveling with Russell cannot be said to be a boring thing.

Apart from the old man's constant chores and his own bad taste, he should be a very good traveling companion. He is considerate and personable, and he knows all the landscapes and allusions at his fingertips. Even if it is just a casual chat, there will occasionally be thought-provoking words and philosophies.

If someone didn't know his bad nature, they would think that he was an amiable old gentleman the first moment they saw him, right?

Unfortunately, times have changed and the meaning of ‘gentleman’ is no longer as complimentary as it once was.

So does Russell.

And just as Huaishi drove through the tunnel, she noticed the changes around her out of the corner of her eye. The old man who was laying down on his chair and scrolling through his mobile phone turned over, and his picture changed instantly.

From the original graceful old man, he turned into a furry white bear, with glasses on the bridge of his nose, a mobile phone held in a bear paw, and a huge cigar in the corner of his mouth. He lit it and the smoke rose.

It looks like a polar bear that escaped from the zoo, extremely happy and comfortable.

Don't know what is going on.

Anyway, Huai Shi was already used to Russell's nagging.

He didn't know how many times he had seen similar animal incarnations.

As far as he knew, in all the biological genealogies summarized in the current situation, from land to ocean to sky, there was no animal that Russell could not change, and not only the appearance changed, but the internal structure could also change accordingly.

He can even imitate the Lord of the Swarm perfectly.

What’s even more outrageous is that when different people look at it, the image can be completely different. It reminds people of the bad guy Woodman, except that one is a human being and the other is a beast. I really don’t know who is copying which of the two.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the top expert of the Heavenly Kingdom pedigree, a veteran of the fifth level of the Dusk Road.

If the vice-principal hadn't told him once, he would never have imagined that Russell's stigmata was actually the guardian of the World Tree, the guardian of the spring, and the legendary wise giant Mimir of the Warner Protoss.

Now it seems that we can get a glimpse of Mimir's annoying style from him.

No wonder the mythical Leodin chopped off Mimir's head later.

This really can't be said to be Odin's bad temper. If it were anyone else, there would be a Riddler in the house who was always pointing fingers at him. I'm afraid no one could help but want to chop off his head.

At this moment, facing Russell's abrupt behavior, Huaishi glanced calmly, without any fluctuation in her heart, and just asked: "Why don't you behave like a human again?"

"This is called personality, you don't understand."

Russell enthusiastically took a selfie with the camera, and the bear's paws actually formed a V shape, looking very naive: "Things that are scarce are more valuable, so you have to be new and different.

Moreover, there are too many similar characters recently, which makes me very embarrassed. I have to be careful even when I speak, and think carefully about every sentence... What if I accidentally plagiarize?

You said plagiarism is okay, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if people thought I had no creativity and plagiarized to this level? "

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Huai Shi couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

"It's a long story. Anyway, just treat yourself as an old man and pour your sorrows——"

He paused for a moment, suddenly slapped his head, and suggested excitedly: "Why don't we go back and reorganize the Ivory Tower into a company? I don't need to call him the principal. Wouldn't it be more majestic and domineering to call him the president?"

"That's enough for you!"

Huai Shi was too lazy to pay attention to him. She didn't know what kind of fanaticism he had: "Can't you do something serious when you have time? Why don't you sleep instead of doing serious things? Don't disturb the driver while driving."

"No, I want it."

Bai Xiong, who was in the passenger seat, put away his cell phone, yawned, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, you should know about the War of Realms, right?"

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Fortunately, there are not many cars on the road now, otherwise it would be bad to hit someone.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

He asked: "I've heard it many times. It should be a fight between the present world and hell, right?"

"Well, there is nothing wrong with understanding it this way, although it is a bit superficial. Let me explain it to you in detail."

Russell seemed to have finally recalled his responsibilities as a teacher. He hugged his arms and crossed his legs, planning to take advantage of the boring time on the road to give the students some extra lessons.

It's a pity that the supplement is not harmless high math and English, but a more dangerous and ferocious secret.

"You must have seen the world model made by the Astronomical Society, right? It's from the basic textbook of the Ascendant."

"You mean that thing that looks like an iceberg in the sea?"

Huai Shi patted his head and thought about it.

That model was quite exquisitely made, showing the relationship between the current border and hell simply and straightforwardly.

Just like an iceberg suspended in the sea, the iceberg is the current situation, and under the sea surface, the part of the ice that is in contact with the seawater and the surrounding suspended ice is the border, and the endless dark ocean is the existence of hell.

"Huh? Has it been updated to a new version? Our model at that time was still an island. Forget it, it doesn't matter. Although the nature is not accurate, the relative relationship is almost like this."

Russell raised his bear paw and scratched it on the fogged glass: "In a nutshell, the current situation is where we live, the border is the defense line and embankment transformed by the fallen debris, and hell is a wilderness of death... As long as The relationship between these three is correct, no matter how you understand it, it doesn’t matter.

However, just like the entropy increase that scholars call and the conservation of miracles that alchemists firmly believe in, although this world has many chaos and ambiguities, only death is fixed and cannot be escaped, whether it is human beings , God, it’s still this world...but the lifespan of the world is much longer than you can imagine.

Let me think about it, the last time the Doomsday Clock mechanism calculated... half a million years? "

"It sounds a bit far." Huai Shi said.

“Who can understand death clearly when a person is born?”

Russell said indifferently, "The dead world sinks and sinks into hell, and the new world sprouts from the remains. This may be the cycle of the world... Of course, there will be all kinds of messy things in the middle. , maybe how many years later, we can still meet in hell, but this has nothing to do with our topic.

So, let's get back to the topic - the so-called war of the worlds is a small episode in this cycle. "

"The reasons are various. It may be due to changes in the current situation, or it may be due to some laws from hell. In the end, it is like a phenomenon of 'rising sea water'."

"The tide is rising?" Huai Shi was puzzled.

"The depth has changed, Huaishi. According to the observations of Harper's telescope, there will be such a 'tide' every few years in the abyss. It may be large or small. When it is small, you cannot observe it at all. When it gets bigger, the coordinates of most hells will start to float...

The ocean currents are coming, Huaishi, and after the seasonal changes, the storms and waves are coming soon.

If left unchecked, the current situation will also be submerged by the tide driven by the storm. Today is different from the past. Without the gods as a barrier, only the Astronomical Society and the major lineages will work together to deploy defenses.

And countless hells will slowly rise from the abyss. Due to the gravity emitted by the current situation, they will collide with each other, creating sparks called war and planting the seeds of death. "

"This is the so-called war of the worlds."

Russell held his chin and stared at the water droplets sliding down the glass, one by one, cutting everything he drew into pieces.

Everything was lost in the remnants of water and fog.

"The war is about to begin, Huai Shi, the chaotic war between hell and hell, hell and border, hell and the present... is not just a war with hell, but also a war like hell."

He chuckled hoarsely: "If you want to make a difference, there is no time like this."

The first thing that came to Huai Shi's mind was the alertness against the elements of destruction and the rulers, but then he suddenly realized it and looked back to his side.

This is the hidden danger that I need to worry about most!

Russell, you said you don’t know martial arts!

In shock, he could hardly control his tone: "Didn't you say you won't cause trouble when you go out this time?"

"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble... I just want to see my long-lost old friends before that."

The white bear in the passenger seat whistled, looked at him meaningfully, and told him: "By the way, I'd like to let my old friends meet you too."

Huai Shi suddenly wanted to jump out of the car.

"Relax, don't stress."

Russell narrowed his eyes, and the thick pads of flesh patted his shoulders: "You are just an excuse.

You see, it’s like if your children from Eastern Xia study well, you would show them to your uncles and aunts during the holidays, sing a song, dance, memorize Latin, and perform some talents...

Don't be shy and don't be afraid. Whether uncles and aunts are happy or not doesn't depend on you. No one cares whether your performance is good or not.

But no matter what, daddy loves you. "

"roll!"

Huai Shi glared at him, this old bastard was still taking advantage of him.

He pondered for a moment, finally cleared his mind, and finally realized: "Do you want to take this opportunity to use me as a sign to reconnect the remaining members of the former Utopia?"

"You're not a sign yet, Huai Shi. It's still early."

Russell was amused, "Besides, it's just a class reunion, why do you make it sound like you're plotting a rebellion? A group of old men and women in their seventies and eighties holding a sunset red party won't break the law, right?"

Huaishi said nothing.

Drive in silence.

I just opened the car window, lit the cigarette, and took two long puffs.

He wanted to jump out of the car.

But it was too late.

The saddest thing in the world is this.

From the beginning, he shouldn't have believed that old bastard Russell would have any good medicine in his gourd!

This old guy actually wants to take advantage of the war between the worlds to rebuild the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven...

In the silence, no one spoke.

Only the soft melody on the radio floated in the slightly cold air. Along with the old man's vague humming, the jazz tune flew out of the window and dissipated in the wind along with the smoke.

Only snowflakes were flying from the sky and falling slowly.

The outline of the city emerged in the distance.

Their first stop - Nara, arrived.
