Chapter 937 The Meaning of Existence
This alloy door can block the monsters in the sea of dark things, and after closing it, it can turn on the gravitational field generator equipped with the base. It can even block the invisible and invisible dark energy from the outside. It is conceivable how powerful it is, and it is naturally difficult to break through it with force.
Those technical officials tried all the methods but didn't make any progress. At this moment, they suddenly saw an ordinary young man coming over and asking if he needed help. They were astonished and felt a lot of shame and anger, but because the crowd was a little disturbed, they didn't utter bad words and ignored him.
Since he walked out of the sewer a year ago, Jing Jiu’s brain has always had some problems. It’s not a problem with the neural channels like Huaxi’s, nor is it a problem with EQ. It’s just that the discharge of the brain nerves and the corresponding speed of operation have dropped sharply.
So until now, after watching the TV news and hearing the words in the alarm, he still doesn't know what happened in this world. The complexity of that matter does not exceed his calculation ability, but it is much larger than his calculation range. He only knew that Teacher Eve asked him to come here because he wanted to go to the world behind the alloy gate with those people, so he had to help Teacher Eve complete this matter.
Teacher Eve has been helping him, even though he doesn't need it.
At this time, the people present seemed to need his help.
No one paid attention to him, so he ignored those people and walked directly between the officials and came to the Alloy Gate.
Until this time, Jing Jiu didn't know how he should help these people, but when he saw the hard alloys inside the cement wall, he suddenly felt familiar and even close, and he knew what he should do.
Two officials stretched out their hands to hold him, and the swear words had already reached their lips, but they were frightened back by what happened next.
With a soft snap, Jing Jiu's palm landed on the keyhole of the alloy door.
Smoke dust and extremely fine powder fell from the sky ten meters high, and a lot of things spewed out from the gap between the alloy door and the hard and reinforced rock formation.
Changes in these places are unimportant, and no one can see the real change.
An extremely thin stream of metal of unknown material flowed out from Jing Jiu's palm, flowed into the keyhole, and spread over the extremely complicated physical lock cylinder in an instant, and then went towards the components in all directions in the alloy door, like starlight occupying the universe, filling all even the tiniest component spaces.
Huaxi stood behind him with Xue Ji in his arms, tilted his head and looked at him curiously, thinking that his brother seemed to be a little shorter than before.
The government officials and policemen in front of the Alloy Gate, as well as the thousands of people on the platform, all heard the melodious sound like spring water jingling inside the Alloy Gate.
This is followed by a more pleasant sound of alloy rubbing, component turning, soft clicking and a few small electromagnetic hums in the corners.
The heavy and huge alloy door opened slowly like this.
After a moment of silence, cheers like a tsunami sounded in the underground station.
...
...
Extremely loud cheers and applause also erupted from the city hall. Although there were only Mayor Ellen and a dozen officials left in the venue, the momentum was still astonishing. They have been watching the picture on the light curtain. On another light curtain, the light mark representing the sea of dark things monster was getting closer and closer to the city, but no one left, because there were still 4,000 people who hadn't been able to evacuate into the base. Until then, they could finally evacuate.
"What happened just now?" Mayor Ellen was pushed out by his subordinates, seemingly confused, but with a joyful smile on his face.
"This must be the will of the gods."
"It's God's blessing."
The subordinates kept laughing and laughing.
Yes, as long as he can evacuate in time, it doesn't matter whether it is the will of the gods or a mistake.
...
...
Jing Jiu led Huaxi into the door first.
Those government officials looked at the backs of the siblings, shocked and speechless.
The people on the platform began to move according to the number, and then they woke up, and quickly put forward the information on the bracelet to maintain order.
Behind the alloy gate is an even larger space. First of all, there is a semicircular stepped square, which looks a bit prehistoric in aesthetic style. There is a wide and straight passage extending deep into the ground at the back of the square. You can see many buildings on both sides, which should be the place where residents will live in the future.
Jing Jiu and Huaxi sat down on the first circle of stone steps in the square, at the place closest to the Alloy Gate.
The people who came in from behind also sat down on the square one by one, preparing for later arrangements. For some reason, everyone sat far away from them.
The fat boy in sportswear tried to come over to talk to him, but was held back by his parents again. He said some things like frozen pears and sportswear brands angrily, until his mother came up to him and whispered something in his ear, then he sat down obediently and peeked at Jing Jiu from time to time.
Many lines of sight fell on Jing Jiu.
Many residents in the industrial dormitory area, at least in the seventh district, knew about the existence of the brother and sister, but they hadn't had much contact with each other.
The scene that happened earlier was beyond everyone's imagination, and it was unavoidable to be a little scared while being shocked.
At this moment, in their eyes, the ordinary boy in the blue tracksuit looked like a monster.
The alloy door slowly closed.
Jing Jiu suddenly raised his head.
The expressions of the government officials and the mobile police who had been secretly watching him changed slightly, and there were several martial arts practitioners holding their weapons in the corner.
The alloy door was not completely closed, leaving a distance of one meter wide.
The three-dimensional light curtain above the semicircular square lit up, causing a commotion. The green light spots on it representing the sea monsters of dark objects were only one meter away from the edge of the city. Calculated according to the scale, it was about ten kilometers.
There was a breeze blowing from the alloy gate, and several government officials and police rushed back to the base with their respective targets, and Eve was also inside.
She didn't know when she was wearing a light mech and was carrying a pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman's husband died of illness six months ago, and she was left alone in the bungalow at the old station, unable to evacuate by herself.
Eve handed over the pregnant woman to the corresponding volunteers, turned to look at the crowd in the square, felt relieved after seeing Jing Jiu and Huaxi, smiled at them, and turned to discuss with the rest of the officials, policemen and folk martial arts practitioners about the following matters.
The figure of Mayor Ellen appeared on the three-dimensional light curtain hanging in the square. He was sweating profusely, and the background kept shaking. He should still be in the passageway into the base, but there was no worry on his face, and he was full of confidence.
"Dear citizens and friends of Wushan City, here is a good news for everyone. All of us have evacuated and entered the base. Oh, I am still a few steps away, no problem...Okay, I have already entered."
"Please rest assured that the alliance fleet is coming to support as quickly as possible. We only need to secure the base. Seven days later, the fleet will arrive at the moon-watching planet, wipe out the monsters on the ground, and then melt the cracks in the space."
"Of course we may need far more than seven days, maybe half a year or a year, but please don't worry, all food, water production, and recycling equipment are checked remotely by the central computer, which is more reliable than some officials. Here I want to announce another order to everyone, that is, Liu Xing, the director of the Emergency Management Bureau, has been officially dismissed. Afterwards..."
Mayor Ellen's voice echoed in the empty underground space. In fact, from a technical point of view, the government can definitely find a higher-level official than him to make this speech, such as the chief official of the Scorpion Tail Nebula region or even a senior official from the main planet, but for Wushan City, a moon-watching planet that has been forgotten by the mainstream world for many years, who can be more convincing than Mr. Mayor?
The 600,000 people in dozens of underground bases in Wushan City were listening to this conversation, and so were the thousands of people in this circular square, but unlike other places, while many people were paying attention to the current situation, they couldn't help but also pay attention to the boy in blue sportswear.
Who is this boy? Why can the alloy door be opened just now?
Jing Jiu didn't understand why these people looked at him. He didn't realize what a great thing he had done. He just sat quietly like this, until Ms. Eve learned about the previous incident from her colleague and looked at him in surprise, he knew it was time to leave.
Just when the heavy alloy door was about to be officially closed, he got up and led Huaxi to the door.
Ms. Eve saw what he meant, and was shocked to control the light mech to fly over, blocking his way.
Jing Jiu lowered his head and lifted the hat behind his sportswear.
He didn't intend to explain anything, because he didn't know how to explain it.
Xue Ji didn't want to come here, and neither did he, because neither of them wanted to stay with too many others.
He came here today because Teacher Eve asked him to come.
Again, Eve helped him, even though he didn't need her, but he didn't need her to help him, that's the real help.
So here he is.
It is enough to come.
Enough is enough to go.
At this moment, his voice sounded, very fast and accurate.
No one noticed that the bow on Xue Ji's head moved slightly, and those invisible mosquitoes began to gear up.
"I am special, and I can also be understood as a monster. I don't care about other people's eyes, but I don't want to repeat boring plots. Just like those written in those classic novels, a monster saved the people, was expelled, and finally hid in the clock tower and was burned to death."
"You don't need to talk, I know you are not such a person. When people try to expel me, you will protect me, you will argue with them angrily, and even bravely raised the barrel of the mecha to point at the officials. Those officials will lock your mecha with authority. I will kill him to protect you, and take his authority to you, and then the people will be shocked, and then scream, saying that I am a robot. How can a robot kill people? Don't the three laws work? You see, if things go on like this, it will become very troublesome. So goodbye."
After saying this, he walked out of the alloy door.
Eve didn't react at all, and the heavy alloy door closed in front of her eyes. At the last moment, she saw very clearly that Ryan only used two fingers...
Standing outside the alloy door, Jing Jiu slowly withdrew his fingers.
Huaxi noticed that her brother had returned to his usual height.
The metal water in the alloy door flowed back to his body and was stuck again, unable to be opened again.
Only when warships come to rescue, use large devices.
...
...
Back in July 20th, the lights in those windows were still on, making the birch trees more mottled.
Jing Jiu sat back by the window, lifted the cover of the piano with his slender fingers, and began to press those black and white keys. I don't know why today's music is so soft.
With her hands behind her back, Xue Ji stood on the window sill and looked outside.
The frozen pears on the window sill had long since melted, and water was dripping down.
Outside the window, there was no bird singing, no cat meowing, no sound of snow falling, it was as dead as a tomb.
It's already very deserted here, but it's especially so today.
Because this world is really only left with them.
After Jing Jiu finished playing a piece, he followed her gaze and looked out the window, looking at the tower that was about to collapse in the distance, and asked curiously, "Are you really going to help him?"
Xue Ji remained silent.
Jing Jiu said, "Isn't it someone you know?"
Xue Ji still didn't speak, just looked over there quietly.
Huaxi threw herself on the bed and woke up after being dazed for a while, kicking her legs angrily, yelling, "What are we doing all this way! We missed all the cartoons tonight! What's the point of this!"
Han Chan was reminiscing about the two paragraphs that he commanded Mosquito to say earlier, and felt that he had read so many classic literature next door with the hostess these days, and it was not in vain.
Those poor human beings need help, and the hero needs to understand and practice help, so just walking back and forth meaninglessly in this way can just help those human beings. Maybe this is the meaning of our existence to them?
Jing Jiu heard its voice, thought for a while and said, "It seems that the wheat fields don't need a watcher."
Han Chan understood the meaning of this sentence, wiped her nails, and made a sound of approval, thinking that the children don't need it either, in fact, those are the needs of the male protagonist.
...
...
(I originally wrote a long paragraph about the meaning of existence, but I deleted it because what I said was not good enough-there is no right or wrong question-I have been re-watching Shi Tiesheng's The Temple of Earth these days, and I recommend it to everyone again.)
