Chapter 487 The Book of Heaven

Chapter 480 Five

Roach turned around dully, looking at the damage at the end of the world with some awe, the puppet passing through the damage scene was like jumping into a gate of a light curtain.

"Roch." Du Zhengyi listened carefully for a while, then asked casually, "Can you hear the creepy sound of your ribs growing?"

Roach raised his hand and pressed his chest, a curious look slowly appeared on his face, "The ribs were broken and the lungs were contused. I used the method of your battle mages to shut down this part of the nerve."

"Self-taught." Du Zhengyi said, refraining from teaching Roach that doing so is dangerous. Let's save that class until after he wakes up after eating and sleeping. "This is the last test, and this will not happen again in the future."

"Have I passed?"

"Even if the sandbox is broken, the data extraction will not be delayed. The process has been completed and it is over. This is also the condition for me to agree to the test. Whether it is successful or not, this is the last time. I will not cooperate with them again. But I I think this test is considered a success, and the committee will finally accept the result. Although you may be caught in a cart by Qionglin in the future and become a cart-drawn cow, at least this stage is over for now. You have become an orthodox mage society Part of it, I'm finally relieved."

Luo Qi raised his eyes and looked carefully at Du Zhengyi's face, his lips trembled slightly, he looked like he was about to cry but suddenly laughed, "They are all idiots."

Du Zhengyi looked at him worriedly.He laughed harder and couldn't help but put his hands up to cover his lungs, "They are all idiots. When they got you away, I actually gave in completely. I will pull the car if they want me to pull it." .As a result, they want to test whether I am qualified to be a mage? When do I care about being a mage? Ask me to work for them. Then what do they pay me? Credit points? The power to bully low-level mages? A sense of belonging?" Luo Qihaha laughed, and reached out to grab Du Zhengyi's arm, "If you live, I'll work. Fuck the common interests, great cause, I don't care, I'm not Hitler's minion."

Du Zhengyi's face turned a little pale. Roach said something against his lifelong pursuit. If words can have power, he could feel that Roach was stirring up a hurricane.But he can't refute and can't be annoyed because Roach isn't even taking his stand, how can you blame a guy when he's doing your best for you?After a while he said, "Don't you and Guan Xinyue often argue that everyone is mortal?"

Luo Qi suddenly raised a hand to cover his mouth, "Everyone is mortal, and I can die too, but I want to die fairly. No matter how Pei Shu pulled you into the gang, if you say that, brother Others said, I don’t want to hear it anymore. Also, no matter what I want to do, don’t interfere with me, as long as I don’t cross the last line, don’t stop me either.”

"Okay." Du Zhengyi said.

Roach looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, and he said calmly, "We are friends." Roach waited for a long time, but Du Zhengyi didn't continue, as if to change the subject, Du Zhengyi said, "They are too Neat, are they... considered a creature?"

"Have you observed it?" Roach said, "I don't know how long the original consciousness stayed here. Maybe new puppets were added after the limbs were scrapped, but to save trouble, they were directly loaded into the adjusted old consciousness. This generation of consciousness Generation after generation exists here, and the new puppets added will more or less retain a little bit of their original consciousness and memory. In order to coordinate their actions, their thinking is artificially synchronized. I don’t know when the collective consciousness began to produce a self. , Although the brain activity ability of each puppet is not good, but thousands of incomplete brains merged into an almost complete brain, a self."

"How do you define integrity?" Du Zhengyi asked sharply.

"I plugged myself in," Roach whispered. "I felt loneliness, longing, jealousy."

After being silent for a long time, Du Zhengyi whispered, "It's really scary."

"It's like Frankenstein," Roach said, "the mages created an artificial human unintentionally. What are we mages? We are as barbaric as primitive humans, but more powerful than modern humans."

"It is because of this that we need a committee to restrain us." Du Zhengyi said.

"Does it work? I think it's out of control."

"Maybe one day you will be able to form a better committee to manage all of this." Du Zhengyi said, "Qionglin has existed for thousands of years, and human beings will know that all organizations that are too old will not be very good, and sooner or later they will become ossified. "

"You can talk like that? I thought you were loyal to Qionglin." Roach frowned in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Du Zheng smiled, "Who gave you the impression that my allegiance is to Qionglin? My allegiance is to Gushan, and the great cause you won't let me talk about."

"I understand. The Guardian of the Lonely Mountain is not loyal to anyone, and the entanglement does not attach you to someone. No wonder the mage never produced an emperor, nor did he produce a country." Luo Qi said thoughtfully. "So there was a problem in Qionglin, and you were released part of your freedom."

"I'm not detained, am I?" Du Zhengyi said, "Why did you stay with the puppet? You could have found a secluded place to wait for me."

Roach's face seemed to be in severe pain in his chest, "I saw a puppet holding a stuffed toy dog, like... a young person."

"You have the curiosity to investigate further? You really know you will be beaten?"

"No, I found that the puppet was collecting these things. I remembered that they might collect something." Roach said, he reached into his inner pocket of his clothes and took out a roll of old and dirty cloth.

"What is this?" Du Zhengyi forced himself to remain calm. "A profound... well-illustrated... book made of cloth. The first page has a drawing of a cabbage. You worked so hard to get this, because your IQ is about the same as that of a cabbage?"

"It's a baby book," said Roach.

"what?"

"Babies read books, so they're made of cloth, and babies can tear paper. You haven't seen that," Roach explained.

"I didn't tear up books when I was born. I don't need such naive things." Du Zhengyi said, suddenly he thought, "Wait, this is a book, does it have words? Things with words that haven't been destroyed don't a lot of."

"I knew you would think, too. All the paper is destroyed, the library is empty. The billboards in the street are empty, the walls have been cleared. I can only find some , and something that has a chance to survive." Roach rubbed off the soil under the cabbage, revealing a line of elegant symbols.

Both of them fell silent, and Roach slowly flipped through the baby's book, "Is it interesting?"

"Interesting." Du Zhengyi said slowly, pointing to the symbol under a sheep, "I can read this word."

"How do you read it?"

"I don't miss it."

"This is the spell of the ancient mage. Don't you miss such a sacred spell? I don't know it at all. I'm only in the third grade, and I'm still a scumbag."

"I will realize now that this is an onomatopoeia." Du Zheng said dryly.

"What?" Roach asked.

"Almost." Du Zheng nodded.

Roach flipped through the baby book again, "So the spell...is just a lost text, not sacred at all. It's just that when we use it, it will have power. Some people...use it just with words."

Du Zhengyi didn't speak, he was even more shocked than Roach.

"Look here, it's completely a human city." Roach said, "These people used to speak the language of mages, but they lived like humans. Where are they now? Are there people without magic among us? They once gathered together Home? Why did they disappear? Guess... did we slaughter them?"
