I got up from the coffin and was taken back to the nest by the dragon

"There were no dragons on the ancient earth, and the dragons were not interstellar creatures colonizing the Ether." Ji Xiaqing gently closed his eyes.

This is a question she has never thought about - before she thought this was a different world.

"Where did the dragons come from?"

Su Bai was taken aback.

"Xiaobai, I remember that on the first day I arrived at the Tower of Babel, when I complained about why the furniture was made of gold, you once told me that scientists have studied why dragons love gold. You used a very strange words."

Su Bai blinked his eyes, his heart slowly tensed up.

Ah Qing seems to be revealing a huge secret to herself, a secret that has been hidden in the shadow of the Tower of Babel for a long time.

She tried hard to recall the day when the two first met, but she couldn't get the point.

The two of them really talked too much that day.

"You said, 'Shouldn't giant dragons be allowed to trace their origins?'" Ji Xiaqing had countless images popping up in his mind: the day they first met, when he was blinded by the shiny gold furniture , Xiaolong talked a lot about the dragon.

"At that time, you used the word 'tracing the source'." Ji Xiaqing leaned forward, and put his hands in a tower shape in front of his lips. For the first time, he looked at Su Bai with a kind of examining eyes—or rather Looking at the Dragon Clan she represents, "In other words, you Dragon Clan don't know your own origin."

Su Bai blinked his dragon eyes, thought for a while, and slowly frowned, "The mainstream thought about the origin of the dragon race in the Tower of Babel is still creationism. God created dragons."

"You also know that there is no God at all." Ji Xiaqing said lightly, "That's just a lie fabricated by the Fifth Executive."

Su Bai's complexion changed slightly, some historical knowledge in compulsory education flashed through his mind, and he hesitated to answer, "The current history of the Dragon Clan still records a lot of things: three changes in social forms, more than ten political changes, all the time. Push it forward, you can push it to Yuangu..."

"But there is no historical record to tell you what the social form of the Dragon Clan was like in the early days." Ji Xiaqing interrupted her, her dark eyes darkened, and she breathed out lightly, "I also agree with the history you mentioned. After reading some, the earliest social form recorded in history is a mature feudal system, and the changes in regimes are all produced in enfeoffment and centralization. But at the beginning, the beginning of everything, how did the dragon race evolve from nature and how did it become a stable race."

She spread her hands, leaned comfortably on the seat, shrugged, "There is no record."

Su Bai stared blankly at her, and realized a vague possibility from her mouth.

"Ah Qing," her voice gradually became hoarse, she pursed her lips hard and clenched her hands into fists, "What do you mean?"

Her voice became louder unconsciously, panic and anxiety intertwined in her heart, "Maybe it's just that some historical materials have been lost? Maybe it's just because of war and chaos that the dragons lost their past? Isn't it the same for humans?"

Su Bai turned his head to look at Three Claws who didn't dare to show his air. There was a bit of ferocity in the water-red dragon eyes, and a trace of despair that was not easy to detect. "Three Claws, there must be something missing in your human history."

Three claws looked at the two big guys who started arguing for no reason, and originally chose to shrink into a ball to reduce the sense of existence, but was still forced to cue out by Su Bai, who didn't want to talk to her because of those blood feuds, but under the intertwined eyes of the two In the middle, he spoke timidly and in a low voice, "There is something missing..."

"Ah Qing! Look!" Su Bai said loudly, as if he had received strong support.

"But..." Three Claws' voice was soft but firm, "There won't be a piece of history that is completely missing, completely disappearing, or completely covered up."

Su Bai clenched his fists violently.

"Parts will be lost, but there won't be a period of history that becomes blank," Three Claws looked at Ji Xiaqing's expressionless face, and added cautiously, "There are always fragments that allow us to peep into the society at that time. .”

Xiaolong was silent for a long time under Ji Xiaqing's gaze, and finally spoke with difficulty, "But history can disappear completely."

"The first protective shield, the second protective shield, the Aether," she said more and more eagerly, speaking in words Three Claws couldn't understand, "These, these used to be, at least once completely disappeared in the Tower of Babel. "

"But there is evidence to prove their existence, the furnace, Stalingrad," Ji Xiaqing said softly, watching the light of hope slowly go out from Su Bai's eyes, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, but he could only force himself He continued with a heart, "But what about the beginning of the Dragon Clan? The oldest dragon, the Zulong, is an old friend of mine, but the reappearance of the Dragon Clan after her will be Yuangu many years later."

"During this period of time, why is there no Dragon Clan?" Ji Xiaqing was asking Su Bai, as if he was asking himself.

"Why?" Su Bai couldn't hold back, and followed Ji Xiaqing's train of thought.

"The dragon race is too powerful, too magnificent, and it is too difficult to conceal its existence," Ji Xiaqing said blankly, "If there is a most reasonable explanation, why is there no dragon with a scale feather in this period of history?" , I can only think of one answer."

Su Bai is so smart, he quickly thought of the answer.

Her voice became hoarse, and she whispered the amazing and frightening secret corner:

"This shows that there are no dragons in this period of history."

"Also," Ji Xiaqing paused, and continued, "About the dragon..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the dragon who was about to collapse.Su Bai's lips trembled, a little inconceivable, "What else?"

She was not so frightened when she accepted the secret that "Ether Continent is actually an interstellar spaceship".One is that Taiyi may be lying to herself, and the other is that she has no perceptual knowledge—she has never seen the universe and spaceships, and she does not have a deep understanding of these truths.

But!The origin of the dragon clan is different!

She closed her eyes painfully.

That is the past of a race, the pride of a race, and the spiritual destination of a race.

Now you tell me that these don't exist?

Ji Xiaqing looked at the dazed look in her eyes, couldn't help stretching out her hand, and rubbed the head of the person in front of her, but still hardened her heart, and continued her deduction: "Do you still remember, when we first Meet, in the car, you told me a little bit of history that I thought was bullshit."

[There is a human being, probably as strong as the Four Emperors. She fought a giant dragon, the space collapsed, mountains and rivers were shattered, and a very strange darkness took advantage of the void, covering the entire Ether Continent. 】

"I thought at the time, what kind of human leader is this? He has no sense of responsibility at all." Ji Xiaqing said softly, "But now it seems that since it is recorded in the history book of the Dragon Clan, it must mean that the following Something is hiding."

"Hidden in the historical stories written by successful people, the cruelty and elimination contained in it can only be seen in the fragments between the lines."

"Why, the dragons will fight with humans? Why, the humans in the Tower of Babel will lose their ability to reproduce? Why, the birth process of the dragons is so strange?!"

Asking repeatedly made Su Bai completely give up his last thoughts and resistance.

"Xiaobai, I'm afraid this is not an ordinary fight." Ji Xiaqing stretched out his hand and stroked the back of her hand soothingly, but the words that came out of his mouth were as sharp as a knife, "This is the massacre of the winners on the losers. The rejection and exile of those who stick to it.”

Three Claws: I can't understand a word but it's scary.

"The last piece of evidence." Ji Xiaqing held Su Bai's hand tightly, trying to ease the panic and confusion of the lover in front of him.

She couldn't bear it, but she couldn't help but say it.

The question of "Where did the dragons come from?", when she knew that this was not a different world, but a spaceship from her hometown, the question fermented in her heart, and the reasoning had already begun.

Originally planning to "wake up" and come to the human camp to confirm his guess that night, but because of Xiaobai, he changed his mind abruptly.In addition to the superficial reasons he said, one of the most important reasons for postponing the time to come to the human camp is that he chose to stay with Xiaolong for another day because he knew the truth was so cruel.

Most of the time, ignorance is a kind of joy.

Knowledge, truth, secret, means curse.

"In the myths and legends from the ancient earth, the dragons love gold, the dragons have difficulty conceiving, and the dragons like tall towers..." Ji Xiaqing said word by word, "It's too similar, Xiaobai, it's too similar."

"It seems that the so-called 'god' who created the dragon was created according to the myths and legends of my hometown."

"Your scientists want to trace the origin, want to find out the reason why the giant dragon is so obsessed with gold, and even put forward the so-called mainstream conjecture--the theory of environmental adaptation, but," Ji Xiaqing squeezed the little dragon's hand, stroking her Fingertips, "Xiaobai, where is the evidence?"

"There is no evidence for all the conjectures of the Dragon Clan itself in historical and sociological research."

There was a long silence in the room.

"Xiaobai?" Ji Xiaqing tried to gently call out to the dazed dragon in front of him.

The three claws huddled in the stool, peeking at the two people who seemed to be taking a break after a quarrel.

No, it can't be called a quarrel.

It is His Majesty's unilateral massacre.

"Xiaobai?!" Ji Xiaqing became a little anxious, and tightly clenched the familiar, soft hand in his palm.

"En." Su Bai was startled suddenly, raised his head, and stared at Ji Xiaqing with his water-red dragon eyes, as if he was looking at someone he didn't know. After a long time, he hummed softly, "I'm listening."

Ji Xiaqing looked at her worriedly, watching Xiaolong slowly wake up from the trance and regain his reason.

After a while, Su Bai gently took her hand back, and the light gradually regained in his eyes.

"We have to go to your final resting place." Su Bai straightened his back slowly, took a deep breath, and said something completely out of line with the previous topic.

"Xiaobai?" Ji Xiaqing was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Xiaolong suddenly thought of going there again.

"Ah Qing, you are still missing a piece of the puzzle." Su Bai seemed to completely abandon those thoughts that made her uneasy, and became confident and stable again, "At least, if we want to know what happened, we have to find that person. "

The two looked at each other and said the name softly.

"Fifth practice."

She held Ji Xiaqing's hand firmly, and the two stood up, looking at the three claws curled up on the chair at the same time.

Su Bai smiled friendly, with hostility in his eyes, but also a little more sincere, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Three Claws replied dryly.

Su Bai led Ji Xiaqing, who was a little confused and full of thoughts, "Why did Xiaolong suddenly slow down and seems to be normal, didn't what I said just now have enough impact?" slowly walked out of the room, in the densely packed human camp, Under the gaze of curiosity or hostility, she took out the terminal, found Guderian's number, and dialed it.

"Guderian, it's me," she said in a steady voice, "convene all the cabinet members and ministers, prepare for a meeting tomorrow, and expand the cabinet meeting."

"No, it's not a make-up cabinet meeting, it's a new meeting."

"Don't worry about what's going on, just let me know."

"Yes, very, very important."

"By the way," she was silent for a while, "You are in the underground world now, bring the leader of the underground world, that is... Hu Shiyue, right, and bring the leader of the rebel army, who can call the shots, now, to Come to the human camp."

"I don't care how you bring it here, as long as you knock it out and tie it up, they must also participate in the next thing."

"That's right, I'm in the human camp, don't worry about safety, Ah Qing is with me."

She gave a few simple instructions, hung up the communication, turned around and looked at the three claws that followed, narrowed her eyes, and said in a solemn tone, "Can you decide the affairs of the human camp?"

Three Claws nodded, then shook his head again.

"We also need a meeting..."

"Is there no temporary wartime system?" Su Bai interrupted him, "Listen, this matter is very serious, more serious than our previous wars, hundreds of times more serious!"

"I'll ask you again, can you make the decision?" Xiaolong stood under the moonlight, looking down at the person in front of him.

Three Claws was silent for a while, looking at Su Bai's resolute side face, his hostile eyes finally loosened for a moment.

"can."

"Okay, then you will come with us later." Su Bai finished arranging this, then turned to look at Ji Xiaqing, with a straight back, "Ah Qing, the forces that can be gathered in the Ether Continent now - Tower of Babel, Underground Gotham , the rebels, humans, and the leaders of the four forces will gather here in at most two hours."

A sad smile slowly appeared on the corners of her lips, which seemed out of place with that straight figure, "Go, Ah Qing, go and lead us to find the ultimate truth."

Even if, the truth is full of blood and blood, full of helpless iron law of natural selection jungle law.

"Bring them, they all have the right to know."

Ji Xiaqing stared blankly at the tall young woman standing in front of her, watching her make arrangements in an orderly and orderly manner despite the huge emotional fluctuations just now.

Her breathing was disordered for a moment, and the beating mechanical heart in her chest felt a little pain.

Ji Xiaqing took a step forward, and couldn't help rubbing the man in front of him into his arms.

It turned out that it wasn't that I wasn't frightened, it wasn't that I wasn't surprised, and it wasn't that I wasn't panicked.

It's just that too many responsibilities have been shouldered on this young shoulder, and the huge thrust forced this young dragon to mature quickly and become a qualified leader.

"Xiaobai," she murmured hoarsely, "I should wait for three days."

I should have stayed with you more.

Su Bai stood up straight with his waist. Hearing this, he chuckled and put his arms around Ji Xiaqing's waist.

"Ah Qing, it's useless to escape. How far can we escape?" She looked far away, "According to your guess, we are all just poor worms struggling to survive in this dark universe."
