implication [end times]

Ran Yu stood there, looking at his feet suspiciously: "I remember when I first came here there were only a few clumps of weeds, no seaweed."

"I remember it too. It's not far from point C, and the ecology has always been relatively stable." Lou Yue said.

Yan Ai said suddenly: "You try to use the link to send some instructions to the sea ghosts. You can do anything, such as asking one of the sea ghosts to jump around in circles."

Ran Yu said in a daze, "I'll try, but it might not work. Can I just pick one that's closer to the first checkpoint?"

"Yes, Sparrow is fine too, depending on your convenience." As he spoke, Yan Ai took out a tiny detector from his bag, and walked around Ran Yu twice with it.This detector was used by Shi Xun when he went outside the city to investigate the sea ghost's connection frequency in the sea magnetic field. At that time, the goal was to identify the frequency and imitate it, and break it one by one.Now that the goal has changed, Yan Ai thought about how to find sea magnets efficiently all night, and it was only in the early morning that he suddenly remembered this existing machine, and put it in his bag for backup before going out, unexpectedly, he would use it.

Yan Ai stared at the change in the detector's value, and said, "It seems that there is no need to look for sea magnets, there are ready-made ones."

Lou Yue looked Ran Yu up and down, thinking about the possibility that Ran Yu was actually a sea magnet, and tried to discuss this issue with Yan Ai.

"Captain Lou, please don't start believing in magic at the critical moment." Yan Ai turned to look at Ran Yu, "Ran Yu, did you bring anything back from outside the city this time?"

Ran Yu touched his pockets, but he couldn't find anything resembling a stone.He bent down to see if there were any small stones caught in the shoe and the edge of the shoe, a shiny pearl tied with a red string fell out of his neckline and dangled around his neck a few times.

Lou Yue stared at the pearl and asked, "Have you worn this rope before?"

Ran Yu straightened his waist: "Ah, Ran Qiu gave it to me, I forgot I still have this thing." Then, he tried to take it off, but found that the rope was very short and the knot was very strong.

Lou Yue approached, took out the other small dagger at his waist, and carefully cut the rope.

When they returned to the scientific research institute, Yan Ai borrowed cutting machines from other laboratories and cut the pearls bit by bit.There was indeed a small piece of blue ore inside.

Ran Yu looked at this beautiful magnet intently, and asked, "Is this thing so useful?"

Lou Yue said: "It may not be very effective at other times, but now, it is the best choice to leverage strength."

The sea magnetite has been found, and Yan Ai's eyelids can hardly be opened: "You guessed it? Very good, I don't need to explain. Then I will go to rest for a while, it depends on whether I live or die tonight. You can finish your work." Go to the next lounge and sleep for a while."

Lou Yue stopped Yan Ai: "Wait, since the action has been moved forward to tonight, I have to confirm again that Ran Yu has a connection with the sea ghost. If he gives instructions to the sea ghost to commit suicide or stay away from here, it will hurt the sea ghost in turn. to him?"

"It's impossible to predict. It depends on how deep their connection is, and what Ran Yu asks him to do. Maybe the extreme order will make the sea ghost pull him to die with him." Yan Ai said, "But there is another possibility that it is ours. The plan failed, Ran Yu was unable to successfully control all the sea ghosts and caused it to fight back crazily, and we all died together. To be honest, I think this possibility is more likely, so I didn't warn you about the risk before."

"Got it, we'll discuss the details later." After bidding farewell to Yan Ai, Lou Yue pulled Ran Yu into the lounge.

The lounge is the one where Ran Yu slept last night. The sheets on the narrow single bed are flat without wrinkles, and the quilt is folded with corners.

"Are you going to sleep now?" Ran Yu asked, "Why do you always look at me?"

Lou Yue: "Don't you always look at me?"

Ran Yu turned around to spread out the quilt, and just as he bent down, he felt his back sink.Lou Yue suddenly hugged him from behind and rubbed his chin on his shoulder.Ran Yu turned his head with difficulty and said, "Don't interrupt."

Lou Yue snorted, let go of him, and sat on the edge of the bed.Ran Yu made the bed and sat down beside him.After a while, Lou Yue tugged at Ran Yu's sleeve and said, "Lie down with me for a while, I just told Albert and the others about the new situation, and I'm still waiting for news."

Ran Yu slept last night, but he didn't want to lie down now, but he could feel Lou Yue's restlessness from these strange behaviors.So he said, "Okay, then tell me what I'm going to do tonight by the way."

The two huddled together on a single bed, and Lou Yue was lying on his side facing Ran Yu, who was looking up at the ceiling upright, and didn't dare to turn his head to look at the side because of a little inexplicable nervousness.

Lou Yue said: "It's great. When I was a child, I always thought that someone would talk to me like this before going to bed. Now that it has come true, I feel like I didn't live in vain."

Ran Yu said: "It will be a long time in the future, and it will get better."

"You're right. It's still a long time ahead. After the danger in the city is resolved, we have plenty of time to spend with it. If we can successfully break into the underground of the museum tonight, Yan Ai will take you to the main control room. You are just like before. Put on the device and try to control the sea ghost, so that it doesn't get together into the first ring." Lou Yue said, "Don't force it, and don't act aggressively towards it."

"Ah."

"Why don't you ask why you need to stabilize the sea ghost tonight?"

Ran Yu: "I guess it has something to do with the sea magnetic field you mentioned."

"Smart." Lou Yue grabbed Ran Yu's hand under the quilt, "Your hands are so cold, what's wrong, are you cold?"

"It's not cold, maybe it's because I washed my hands with cold water just now."

"I thought you were hiding something from me and were nervous."

Ran Yu turned his head to look at Lou Yue, the close distance made his heart beat irregularly.He smiled, took his hand out of the opponent's hand, rubbed his fingers together a few times, and asked, "You haven't explained to me why you need the sea magnetic field. I can only guess that it will stimulate and strengthen the sea ghost's mind." Power, so I need to suppress it when it is restlessly attacking the city."

"Actually, looking back, the doubts of many things before are the key. Do you still remember the Third Ring riot not long after you entered the city? At that time, we guessed that Gong Xiao was conspiring with the sea ghost, but it turned out that Gong Xiao was the city lord That riot directly led to the fall of the Third Ring Road, and then it got out of hand. If Gong Xiao himself did it out of selfishness, it is impossible to explain what ability he used to get the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which is the central department, to cooperate with him. In addition, according to According to the doctor, sleepwalking began after the fall of the Third Ring Road, and the official experiment was just yesterday."

"The Santo's experiment is based on the imitation of sea ghosts. In addition to researching a special magnetic field for the human body similar to the sea magnetic field, of course it also requires many high-intensity connection signals as samples, and even directly converts the connection at a certain distance in real time. This is similar to the research done by Shi Xun's research group before. Therefore, he needs the main city to be besieged by sea ghosts. As for how to escape after the experiment is successful, he probably has his own considerations , but at that time we had already lost consciousness and became a small part of his limbs. However, the sea magnetic field and the artificial magnetic field he needs will interfere with each other, so the urban area needs so many defense points of the Leida system to be stable Magnetic field. Last night when Yan Ai was doing electromagnetic experiments with her colleagues, she sent me a few reports, which probably can confirm this guess."

As he spoke, Lou Yue's eyelids gradually became heavy.He tried to cheer himself up, but he hadn't rested for a long time, and now he was lying in the warm bed, and the person who had worried for a long time was lying beside him, and he felt that he would fall asleep in the next second.

Ran Yu: "How about you go to sleep first, don't wait. I'm not sleepy, if your communicator rings, I will wake you up."

"That's fine." Just after saying this, Lou Yue couldn't lift his eyelids completely.

After Lou Yue fell asleep, he waited for a while before Ran Yu lightly turned over and lay on his side looking at his sleeping face.This gesture brought them closer.The more you look at it, the better it looks, no matter how you look at it.

Ran Yu said in a very soft voice, everything will be fine.Then, he quietly leaned over and kissed Lou Yue's forehead like a superficial kiss.

The moon hung in the sky, and the sound of heavy and chaotic footsteps gradually sounded on the originally empty streets in the first ring road.

Lou Yue and Albert led the uninfected elite troops to ambush in a tall building two kilometers away from the museum, secretly observing the guards under the city lord from the window.

They were standing guard and patrolling as usual, with slightly different postures, but at a certain moment, as if a switch had been pressed, they suddenly stood at attention in unison, and there was an electronic sound that was not like human voices from their throats. Yin: "How is it? It's still not good, it's still not good."

In the silent night, a large group of well-equipped young and middle-aged guards on the street suddenly seemed to have collectively turned into robots, and the monotonous mechanical sound echoed on the street.Their expressions are so vivid and majestic that they look like newly unearthed clay dolls under the dim moonlight, and the horror effect is directly full.I could see goose bumps popping up all over Albert and Lou Yue.

The number of guns and ammunition carried by these guards is beyond the reach of Albert and others, so head-to-head will not work.According to the previously discussed plan, after being disturbed by the sea magnetic field, the behavior and mind of the people under control will be confused for a period of time. They are neither controlled by the city lord nor have their own clear will. timing.

The large group of guards gradually learned to adjust their expressions and movements, no longer uniform, but showing many rich appearances.Without exception, they are all moving their legs and feet to the greatest extent, as if to test and exercise their coordination and flexibility.

Lou Yue's communicator turned on, and he glanced at it. It was from the shop owner, Lao Guo.The message is only two short words: OK.

At the same time, the group of guards stopped moving and stood there in a daze.

"on!"

Lou Yue and Albert led the team out of the building, broke through the guard line without any resistance, and entered the museum in just a quarter of an hour.

There were not many guards in the museum. When Lou Yue and others came, although they had regained their sanity and tried their best to stop them, they were quickly controlled.Albert's men also captured Li Jing, the deputy city lord who had fled unsuccessfully, and Lao Feng from the military control department in the museum, but the city lord has not been found yet.

Lou Yue led the members of his inspection team to search the basement three floors of the museum, and soon found a secret laboratory.The door of the laboratory needs iris and fingerprint authentication to open, Lou Yue asked the team to invite Li Jing to come and try.Li Jing was supported by two big men who were nearly two meters tall, and was forced to open the door.

There is no one in the laboratory, all the equipment is still in the active state, and the messy wires have not been cleaned up.Between the various devices with blinking lights is a bed with a helmet full of wires.Lou Yue walked over, felt the temperature of the bed, and said, "It's not long since I left, and I should still be in the museum."

Rhubarb, who was sent to watch the monitoring, came to report, saying that the city owner might be hiding alone in the city history museum on the second floor, and he seemed to be in a bad state of mind.Old Wei also sent news that the sea ghosts and sparrows outside the first ring were rushing to the checkpoint like crazy, and the action team could hardly stop them, urging them to move faster.Although Lou Yue had just informed Lao Guo to stop, the sea ghost who had already been strongly stimulated would not let it go.

Lou Yue said to Old Wei: "Take another 10 minutes or so, and they are on their way."

In fact, in order to prevent Ran Yu and Yan Ai from being accidentally injured at such a critical moment, Lou Yue did not let them come together, but placed them in the tall building where they had ambushed before, and assigned a small team to protect them.Now the deputy city lord and Lao Feng are in the hands of Lou Yue and others, and the guards outside the gate are directly subordinate to them and no longer pose a threat.Albert had already brought his subordinates and escorted his former leader out to meet Yan Ai and Ran Yu.

Lou Yue led people to the Jiancheng History Museum on the second floor, asked others to wait at the door, opened the door and walked in by himself.

There is no power cut in the museum, and the exhibition hall is brightly lit at this time.

The collection of the entire exhibition hall is divided into three parts,

The first part is the history of the struggle between humans and sea ghosts before the city was built, the second part is the process of building the city and the information of the first and second city lords, and the third part is the largest and most luxuriously decorated part, which includes various glorious deeds and hymns of the current city lord .In addition, in order to create a real and sensible image of the people, this part of the glass cabinet also displays many private collections of the city lord, and the swords and fine wines are shining brightly under the spotlights.

Lou Yue remembered these collections, they were guarded and stolen by the staff in the museum before, and the city lord sent him to investigate the matter thoroughly.After finding out, the city lord personally imposed a brutal punishment on the thief.That was a way of death that even the well-informed Captain Lou felt was inhumane.Afterwards, the city owner wiped his hands and went to accept a radio interview. He reiterated his emphasis on human rights and the role of ideological and moral influence, and called on every resident of the main city to start from their own small things and stick to humanitarianism.

At this time, the once glorious ruler with disheveled hair was sitting in front of the glass cabinet, looking up at the sword hanging on the wall.

As Lou Yue approached, Lou Yi didn't seem to notice, his eyes were not as sharp and majestic as usual, but instead showed a kind of confusion and confusion.

"Are you really crazy? You can't." Lou Yue bent down and said softly.

Lou Yi looked up at him and narrowed his eyes: "Nizi."

"I'm here to fulfill my promise," Lou Yue said.

He took out a gun from his arms, but instead of aiming at Lou Yi, he aimed at the glass cabinet next to him.

After a loud bang, the glass shattered and fell.At the same time, Lou Yi suddenly pounced on Lou Yue!

Lou Yi was old and strong, and under the huge impact, Lou Yue's hand holding the gun was hit and was about to dislocate.The gun slipped out of his hand and slid toward the bottom of the display case.

Lou Yue unceremoniously raised his leg and slammed it hard, and then swung a torrential rain of fists on Lou Yi's chest and abdomen with the power of his belt, punching to the flesh, extremely ruthless.

Not to be outdone, Lou Yi fought, and from time to time they slammed each other against the hard corners of the glass cabinet and the wall with great force.At this moment, they are not like a pair of father and son, but more like two bloodthirsty and aggressive beasts, wishing they could immediately skin and bone each other.

After a quarter of an hour, the two men parted with wounds all over their bodies.Lou Yi was the one who hung the most colors. He had almost exhausted his strength, broke his leg bone and several ribs, and had to fall to the ground.On the other hand, Lou Yue, although his face was bruised and purple, was still very energetic.

"Your fighting kung fu was taught by me at the beginning." Lou Yi panted heavily, staring at Lou Yue who was walking step by step.

"So what." Lou Yue said, "You are old, but you still refuse to obey your old age."

Lou Yi changed into a kind tone: "I am very pleased that you are so strong. But I think you still lack a little big picture, too young. You should try the wonderful taste of being one with everyone. I can guarantee , as long as you try it, you will fall in love with that feeling."

"Really? But I think that an attempt without a retreat is not an attempt, but a straw cover on a trap." When he said this, Lou Yue had already walked up to Lou Yi and looked down at him.

Lou Yi's tone became cold again: "I'm curious how you did it tonight."

"Maybe because your layout is too big, so you didn't notice some insignificant people."

Lou Yi sneered: "Even if you win once with this trick? You have no ideals, no great structure. Do you know? If you weren't making trouble, I would soon be able to realize the best dream of mankind for thousands of years , Great unity under heaven, mutual prosperity and symbiosis, that is the ultimate form that people should pursue. Instead of just knowing what you are doing every day, only knowing to fight with each other, full of calculations, and endless hatred."

Lou Yue reached out and took out a sharp sword from the glass-shattered display case next to him, rubbed it and said, "Not necessarily. In my opinion, what you want is not the great unity of the world, but the sameness of the world with you. It's not a common sword." Prosperity coexists, but glory alone.”

"Superficial, stupid, petty!" Lou Yi's chest burst into coughing sounds.

Lou Yue pointed the tip of his sword at him and said, "You let her die for thirteen hours."

Lou Yi looked up at Lou Yue.

"But I don't intend to do that, because you are too cunning. Thirteen hours is enough for you to escape eight hundred times. And I am in a hurry."

Lou Yue freed up one hand to take out a bottle of the oldest wine from the display cabinet next to him, pulled out the cork, and sprinkled it on Lou Yi's body, from head to toe.

"Then, I respect your great layout." Lou Yue looked down at Lou Yi who was staring at the ground, and said, "An ant who wants to become a god."

Lou Yue's hand fell up and down, and the sharp sword pierced through Lou Yi's heart.
