Abyss Train

Chapter 766 Eternal Fin [Grey to Blue]

Foreword:

The sun shines on the earth, regardless of good or evil.

  —Seneca

[Part ①·Snapshot of Time]

The gunsmith returned to the boundary marker. The areas surrounding the town and farmland were still covered with fog and frost. This unfamiliar fertile land was so quiet and yet so noisy.

The abnormal spiritual pressure in the environment is slowly weakening, along with the scarlet flames burning in the thermal power plant in the distance. Clouds of crimson smoke are coming out of the towering chimneys, and the essence of the butterfly is about to return to the earth.

He crouched by the hedge and slowly stood up, the fabric of his clothes slowly returning to factory settings.

All kinds of fine fabric fibers flew in from all directions and turned into wide, soap-colored robes. The state of his body kept changing, as if the journey was in vain. He went around the Kaiwu Hall for more than 3,000 meters, and when he came back after a circle, the oily mud on his face disappeared.

The strong feeling of dizziness gradually disappeared, and this [way of survival] came to an end. The gunsmith was finally able to stand still and take out his journal to write something.

When he started writing, he found that the ink was not flowing smoothly, so he began to shake it, and the ink gradually came out. He came to his senses and realized that he seemed to have not written a diary for a long time. This booklet was the sixty-sixth merit book. Most of the sixty-five brothers and sisters in the front were filled with the origins of enemies. Many well-known blood-giving monsters were forever left in these diaries.

"I am about to go to the Aizong Mausoleum. I can't remember how many times I have walked into this mausoleum-based settlement."

"The surrounding terrain is very complex. I have never been to a tomb complex before. I don't know how the indigenous people here adapt to the climate of the depression and how they build houses between the mines and tomb passages. This is a very interesting experience."

"Has Feckwood Abbey come back? I don't know—maybe he's dead."

He wrote as he walked, and at the same time moved Jingguang to his chest, using the carrying plan of FE204863, ready to draw his gun quickly at any time.

"I can't figure out what this old man is thinking, just like I find it hard to understand the boss's motives."

"They all want to dig holes and explore the underground world, but for a person like me, it's too dangerous and too mysterious."

"I know that any scientific research activity in the world that benefits mankind is accompanied by great risks. The first person to ride a rocket into space was called Wan Hu. Did he die in the fall? Or did he die in space? People only know that he was the first person to fly into space, and he was great."

"But Fikewood cannot be compared with Wanhu, because Wanhu does not eat human flesh."

"In order to see the original seed in person, this guy has committed a lot of evil and has no intention of repenting. He has long accepted this way of life and has long recognized the reality - he has never considered himself a human being."

"The real Fikewood is dead. Just as the boss said, the monsters transformed by the Holy Blood are just wearing their human skins, wanting to continue their ideals in life and continue to live in this chaotic world."

"When Fickwood faced death, his life was complete."

At this point, the gunsmith specifically marked two key points.

"Boss, we have indeed reached the deeper part of the Moho. The huge monster built with machinery and flesh has passed the nerve endings of the Primordial Seed and reached a place that even the Incarnation Butterfly cannot approach - Fikewood calls it the Nursery of Life and the Garden of All Things."

"As for what exactly is this Garden of All Things?"

"I have always been a psychic idiot. As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. Since I am a violent machine, my studies at Galahad have also been continuing to delve deeper into the vertical field of The Divided."

"Based on my psychic knowledge, my experiences, and the strange things I have come into contact with in my short life."

"It should be the birthing room of the earth's fertilizer, the thing that gives birth to everything. The structure deep in the earth is very strange. According to the arguments and evidence of traditional geology, Fickwood has a complete set of ground detection instruments. The answers given by ultrasonic data and seismic wave detection instruments are completely different from the data found by physicists or geologists in the secular world."

"This is the first time we have seen the outline of the Primordial Seed. Perhaps Fickwood has truly seen its existence with his own eyes."

"It's not like a rolling iron ball. More than 1,700 meters below the pit, everything becomes hazy and dreamy beyond imagination."

"My body began to be controlled by my mind. It seemed that as long as I wanted, I could do some incredible actions. The mental damage I suffered could be healed by sleeping for two minutes -"

"——Fickwood said that this is the blessing brought by the Nursery of Life, a blessing that the Original Seed accidentally revealed to all living beings."

"The incarnation butterfly was born from its nerve endings. It was also a creation out of thin air. It was also a way of regenerating flesh and blood using the panacea. It just molded out a terrifying angel like this."

"but me"

Jiang Xueming couldn't get used to this wonderful feeling for a long time. His control over his fingers and the use of his strength seemed to have reached a new level.

The last time this kind of change happened was when he first transformed from an ordinary person into a "worm egg".

"I don't know what happened to this body. In the Abbot's Immortal Boat and in Fikewood's scientific research rig, I actually killed so many incarnation butterflies."

"Even I didn't expect that without relying on soul power, this body could hold on and stay rational and slowly kill them."

"Although the whole process was quick, it was a strange and thrilling experience for me. The pain deformed my movements, but my brain still had to remain rational and calm, overcoming the stimulation brought by adrenaline. It was like controlling a wild horse - according to the most appropriate killing order, I arranged the seats for each guest, invited them to the right place, made the right choice at the right time, and then slowly killed them."

"I still remember when I first used Fragrant Dream, it took me a lot of effort to give it instructions and tell it to explode a small water bottle ten meters away. The process of gradually taming it was like getting to know myself all over again."

"If it was seven years ago, I would not be able to escape unscathed when I was besieged by so many mythical units."

"It seems that the power of the Garden of All Things helped me. What Fickwood said is right. At that depth, spiritual energy can already affect the physical body."

“It’s a very dangerous place. For Homo sapiens, the moment the mind becomes confused and starts to have wild thoughts, the body will also undergo terrible changes. Even if you are not injured, as long as you feel pain, then the wound will naturally [grow].”

"I'm very concerned about Billy Horn's condition and hope the Situation Center can find them."

"hope."

At this point, Xueming had already walked back to the farm. He suddenly stopped writing and found an unconscious giant deer in the farmland.

Tom was taking care of the squad leader. When the soldier saw someone coming, he immediately put his gun to the ground and was on guard. But when he saw the gunsmith's appearance clearly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"teacher"

The gunsmith nodded and said, "Take the brothers back. If the summons bell can send a message, call for reinforcements."

Tom immediately carried his team leader on his back. After receiving the order, he was hesitant because of the influence of [Mobius], and he became confused and mentally ill.

"Teacher me."

"Have I really come out? I..."

The young man is still not sure, as [the way of life] has brought him too much trouble.

It seemed that boy Tom was fine. He was not hurt by the grenade fragments, but he felt a little weak.

But in [Mobius], he went through countless reincarnations, each time in units of ten or twenty years, which made him dizzy - his brain power consumption was too high, and his hippocampus and cortex could not accommodate so many memories. They had long turned on the power saving mode and instinctively rejected these useless memories.

He couldn't remember much, as if he had a very long dream.

"Go out." The gunsmith pointed to the road they came from. "The next ship from Baibei Port will be at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Someone will come to pick you up."

Tom nodded, his eyes gradually became firmer, and just as he was about to leave——

“——Compare watches.” The gunsmith rolled up his sleeves to reveal his watch.

The two touched their NFCs, and Tom's time dilemma disappeared, and his watch finally returned to normal. Without more greetings, the soldiers hurried on to continue their respective ascetic paths.

When we arrived at the farm, the camera that was originally sitting in the shrine was gone, and there were only two children kneeling on the cushion.

The gunsmith was quite surprised. If his guess was correct, these should be the couple he first saw on the farm - one of them turned back to be six years old, and the other turned back to be three years old.

"You guys." Jiang Xueming hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to deal with this spiritual disaster. Fickwood's [Way of Life] seemed to have exploded with unimaginable power. This black and white vulture was weaving a fairy tale.

The older boy turned around and said, "Arahant! Arahant!"

The gunsmith was surprised and asked, "Have you turned into a child?"

"Yes! Yes!" The man's clothes were also found temporarily. There was snot on his face, which was caused by chronic rhinitis in his childhood. "Arahant! The Heavenly Venerable has ascended to heaven, right? Has he ascended to heaven?"

Jiang Xueming didn’t understand the meaning of [ascension]. The beliefs of these Shambhala natives included many wonderful procedures and mysterious rituals.

The boy took out a Polaroid camera from his loose clothes and kept pressing the shutter, but the original crisp "click" sound could no longer be heard.

"The magic weapon is useless! The magic weapon is useless!" The boy was delighted and clapped his hands, saying, "Then the Celestial Lord must have ascended to the immortal world! That's a good thing!"

Jiang Xueming asked curiously, "Why is it a good thing? If there are criminals or jackals coming in the future, and you don't have this magic weapon, won't you be unable to protect yourselves?"

"That's a good thing!" The boy patiently explained, "I started as a tenant farmer in Gaojia Village during the Jianye period of Daliang. I have lived for at least two hundred years relying on this magic weapon!"

The girl jumped for joy and said, "I'm tired of living! I'm tired of living!"

The boy then said, "I'm tired of living! I don't have a daughter anymore! I want to have a new one and live again! Only once!"

The girl knelt down before the Arhat and bowed three times, muttering to herself, "My merits are complete. The Heavenly Venerable has gone to the Immortal Realm. I will enjoy endless blessings in my next life!"

Xueming didn't say anything, nor did she explain anything——

——He was unwilling to expose this fairy tale, just like the nature of the ferocious beast beside Brother Ye Bei.

People always need illusions to live well, and Fragrant Dreams itself also likes to weave illusions.

It seems that hallucinations are not good things, but if we slow down and think more carefully, we will find that the hope that keeps us going often comes from hallucinations.

At the edge of the woods where pear blossoms were in full bloom, the fog gradually dissipated, and a team of quick swordsmen gathered next to the field. Everyone was sharing what they had seen in [Mobius], discussing the illusions brought about by this psychic power, and sorting out fragmented memories so that they could return to the combat center for meetings and take notes - which was also convenient for them to organize into a log.

Just like the solution for the bighorn deer, the gunsmith asked all the brothers to return to Baibei Port and wait for the order from Commander Ke. He went to the complex alone - to return to the Kaiwu Hall.

There were young children everywhere, some resting by the haystacks of the houses, some holding up piglets in the fields and lifting them to the sky, as if they were performing a strange ritual.

Almost all the townspeople have returned to their states between the ages of three and sixteen, as if [Life Path] restored the town to its factory settings and everything is back to square one.

White foam can be seen along the banks of the Wu River. It is a sign that the fish-man hybrids have broken free from the control of the elixir and have begun migrating again, heading towards the warmer South Sea of ​​Pompeii.

The dew condensed on the farm tools gradually turned into water vapor as the temperature rose. It seemed that if you breathed a little harder, your throat would feel sweet and itchy.

Walking into the podium area of ​​the complex and stepping onto the solid tarmac road, two lines of people were guarding outside the Kaiwu Hall, waiting for the arrival of the god of death.

The sixteen Tianzun apprentices of the maintenance team have turned back into little kids. They have lost their holy blood and bowed to the gunsmith. The more than thirty specialists from the maintenance section all have exhausted faces. These kids, holding tool boxes and wearing safety helmets, sit on the ground, squeezed against each other by the bronze pillars, sitting in circles.

The five brothers, the descendants of the giants who were originally huge in size, have turned back to the age of six or seven. They are like big-headed dolls, more than 180 cm tall, and their body proportions are completely unlike those of Homo sapiens. The thunder cracks in their eye lines and brows are still shining brightly. They should all be the descendants of the God of Thunder, derivatives created from the blood of the giants.

These giant babies half-knelt on the ground, waiting for the god of death to enter the hall of creation.

"On behalf of Uncle Fickwood Abby, I sincerely thank you, Mr. Gunsmith."

A pink-haired little girl came out holding a Polaroid camera. This was Marlene Abby. She was also affected by [The Path of Life] and was sent back to the place where the first photo was taken and turned back to the age of twelve.

"The White-haired Heavenly Venerable has ascended to the Immortal Realm, and our mission is also completed. This is what my uncle left for you."

She held up a large iron box, which looked like the red flower box used to package mooncakes during traditional Chinese festivals.

——The gunsmith opened the thing slightly and took a look.

More than twenty seeds of chaos jumped out from inside. They were extremely active and full of vitality. They did not have the eye lines and butterfly patterns of Vita's mark, nor did they have bloodshot eyes. They were in very healthy condition.

They were like seeing their relatives, as if they had suffered a great injustice. Their plump limbs were exposed, and they bit the gunsmith's clothes tightly and climbed up, climbing to the top of his head, crawling into his collar. The dial of the POS machine structure made all kinds of strange beeping sounds. It seemed that [Life Path] had changed the elixir back to its original state. These power tokens that had been transformed by the Vita mark turned into chaos eggs again.

There were rustling sounds coming from the iron box. Xueming grabbed the little bugs on his body and stuffed them back into the box. He took a closer look and - wow, there were more than a hundred of them.

All the blood-giving monsters active in the area around the Ai Zong Mausoleum vomited out the elixir, and before Fickwood Abby's [A Way Out] crossed the finish line of life, it burst out with a strong light. The old man stole some essence from Mother Earth, and the powerful psychic power restored everything to its original state.

The moment the sun broke through the mist, Ms. Malin and six other core members of the Tiangong Academy stood together on the road of the Kaiwu Hall.

Before the gunsmith knew it, these "children" had transformed into brilliant red morpho butterflies.

——It seems that these monsters had already drunk human blood and eaten human flesh long before the photos were taken. The Fairchild Star Officer who was waiting on the side shouted loudly——

“——I ascended to heaven!”

The "immortal disciples" from the engineering and mechanical maintenance departments followed suit.

“——I ascended to heaven!”

The giant's descendants struck the gong. As the saying goes, if one person succeeds, all his relatives and friends will benefit from it. The disciples around the Heavenly Lord must feel the call. After the Heavenly Lord ascends, all the strange phenomena will end, and that will be the time for them to ascend to the fairyland.

Finally, these little kids can live in the sunshine.

The "despicable traitor" Fayi Frosalin was also affected by [Life Path], but she did not turn back to her childhood and did not spit out the elixir. Her photo was taken at a later date. "This old man only thinks about himself and never considers the alliance. Humph."

"See you next time!"

Ever since Judas experienced a series of deaths, Fayi's spirit had no intention of sending anyone else away and remained in a state of absolute silence.

When the sunlight refracted through the floor of the hall and refracted onto Fayi, the intense burning sensation made her groan in pain.

At this moment, Teacher Su Ling didn't even have time to stop it, and had no means of counterattack.

[Skyborn] tore apart Fai's soul, and the goddess Io finally discovered this incarnation trapped in the quagmire and began to perform magic to show her power.

The lark seemed to be connected to WIFI, receiving instructions from the sun and becoming violent.

——The spirit body suddenly exploded with a "pop" sound.

It turned into feathers all over the ground and gradually decomposed into pure spirit particles.

"Damn it!" Teacher Su Ling cursed, "Suicide from zero frame?"

By the time the gunsmith entered the hall and stood under the statue of the god of craftsmanship, Fayi Frosalin had turned into a high-risk pollutant. She was lifeless and her eyes were staring blankly. A white lady larva crawled out of her eyelids and a bright red Morpho butterfly came out of her mouth. She died just like that.

This is not the last incarnation of the goddess Io. Judah will continue to borrow the door of [Skyborn] to come to the world - just like a saint appointed by God, she will always summon the right warrior from another world to help this warrior become king.

"Don't lose heart." The gunsmith waved his hand to open the Mad Butterfly, swept the Vita Brand derivatives to the other side, and carefully observed Fayi's body. "Teacher Su Ling, at least we threw the first punch, and it hit the vital point."

Su Ling summoned a spirit to put on a painful mask for herself, a standard [Landry's Torture] look: "If this goes on forever, how long will it take? After the evil spirit's minions are dead, we'll kill the demon leader. After the demon leader is dead, there's still the witch. After the witch is dead, there's still the sun in the sky as the demon god - nesting dolls, right? Just like the smelly cockroaches! You can never kill them all!"

"This is good news. Judas is more fragile than we thought. We have cut off the dragon's horns, peeled off the dragon's scales, and pulled out the dragon's balls." The gunsmith threw the mooncake box to Teacher Su Ling. "As long as we keep cleaning, the pests will not find a place to stay."

Su Ling opened the mooncake box and saw dense green blood bars appearing. She closed the lid in an instant, as if she was startled. The mask of pain on her face changed color and turned into an expression of [OAO].

"It's okay, it's okay, my reaction is not that slow."

  [Part②·A misunderstanding]

"The weather is getting warmer, Brother Billy." Fuanini hugged Billy Horn.

The two brothers walked twenty miles along the mountain road, breathing in a bellyful of miasma, and finally saw a stream of running water.

Billy responded, "Yeah, that's a good thing."

Foianini: “Is this the right direction?”

Billy: "Even though we can't see the sun, it's definitely right to walk in the opposite direction of the shadow."

After crossing the dangerous mudflats and finding a steep downhill slope among the rocks, Fuanini's eyes were turning blue from hunger and he could not control his legs well. He stumbled and rolled into the creek with Billy.

The two brothers were in a terrible state, lying in the warm river water, groaning in pain.

"Fuck." Billy didn't even have the energy to curse. He was even hungrier. Using soul power to fight consumed too much mental energy.

Fuyanini suddenly started crying: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry."

Billy didn't have the strength to get up, so he wanted to wait and rest for a while.

"It's ok"

The two brothers collapsed in the water, the stones in the stream supported their backs, the water rushed into their ears, washed their earlobes and necks, and poured into their stinking clothes.

After a long time, Fuanini finally asked.

"Keep going, brother?"

Billy: “We have to go.”

Foianini: "I can't seem to walk anymore. I'm so hungry."

Billy: “I’m hungry too.”

Foianini: "Either this or that"

Billy: “What?”

Fu Yanini: "Brother, you already have soul power, right?"

Billy: “Yeah.”

Foianini: "You will be a big shot in the future, hey."

Billy: "What do you want to say? I don't have the strength and my brain can't work."

Fuanini: "How about you drink some of my blood? Pick me up? Then you will have the strength to continue walking?"

“Hahahahaha!” Billy was so angry that he laughed: “Fuck you.”

Foianini: "How about this"

Billy: Come on, bro.

"I'm so useless." The more Fuyanini spoke, the more tears came out: "I'm so useless, my brother is just a small slope, how could he take you down with him? I'm so useless"

Billy: “Don’t.”

Foianini: "So, how about I cut some meat? Like this."

Billy: Stop it.

Fuanini stopped talking. He could smell the hot, humid evening air and the shadows were fading.

If it were completely dark, the two would lose their way and would probably starve to death in this wasteland.

"The sun will guide the direction. The sun will point out the right path." Billy murmured.

"The sun doesn't look after us anymore. It doesn't work at night," Foianini said.

Billy: "Don't give up hope. Foianini - I got here on hope."

Foianini: "Like the candles on a birthday cake, brother, when it lights up I am happy, and when it is blown out - it's like there is nothing left."

Billy: "I smell something bad, did you pee?"

Foianini: "I don't know, brother, I can barely feel the lower half of my body - otherwise how could I wrestle with you?"

Billy: “Fuck.”

Foianini: "It's not my urine, it smells like a wolf"

Billy: “Have you ever drunk wolf urine?”

Foianini: "Galahad, a professor of potions, said that drinking lapis lazuli boy's urine can enhance male sexual function."

"It's better for you to read less knowledge accounts." Billy cursed: "And why do you want to improve your sexual performance?"

Foianini: "I'm just preparing! What if there's a chance to use it?"

Billy quickly got up. The strong feeling of hunger filled him with energy. The will to survive gave him amazing talent. He picked up a stone and walked upstream in the stream.

He grabbed Fuanini and picked up his brother.

Fuyanini exclaimed in surprise: "Really? It tastes sour! Just like the half-wolf urine I drank!"

Walk about 200 meters upstream and pass through a dense bush.

——The sunlight gradually dimmed and was about to sink completely into the sea.

  Billy was sweating coldly. He was very weak. Could he still trust his strengthless body?

Could he kill a wolf? Could he subdue it? Could he prevent it from escaping?

Eat raw meat? Don't have the energy to make a fire and cook?

He carefully left Fuyanini where he was, and went to the edge of the grass to clear away the vines, gradually approaching the source of the foul smell of urine.

Beyond the bushes, I saw a big furry wolf head with a pair of golden eyes. It looked over at me.

  ——Billy was almost scared out of his wits. Judging from the size of this head! He chose the wrong opponent!

The size of the giant wolf's skull was almost enough to break his neck in one bite, and he had already lost the initiative. He was discovered!

The gray wolfhound hid in the shadows, with an impatient and irritable look on its face, and then slowly leaned out. Billy followed him and stepped back step by step, the stone in his hand looking so ridiculous.

When the giant wolf's front paws appeared, Billy saw a set of yellow reflective strips.

Handsome Oscar spoke——

"——Who is it? Watching people pee? Is that immoral?"

Before Billy could react, a scolding came from Foianini's side.

"There's a wounded man here." Mr. Maguire tore open the medical bag and squatted beside Foianini: "Mr. Oscar, I found him. He should be the gunsmith's apprentice."

Little sister Index, the hunting team's assistant, came out from another bush. She was holding the large backpacks of the two search and rescue team members. She was very strong. She adjusted her glasses and complained to medic Maguire.

"Hey! I told you long ago! Its dog nose is not as sharp as mine! I told it to be downstream, downstream, but it insisted on looking upstream!"

Billy the Kid was carried on Dr. Maguire's shoulders. He remained silent. Like his teacher, he felt that all this was not real.

Foianini, who was on a stretcher, did not change his bad habits. He began to imitate the crying general and started chatting with the young assistant of old staff officer Luca.

"Hey! Hey beautiful lady! Hey! What's your zodiac sign? How many people are there in your family? Are your uncle and aunt in good health? Can you give me their contact information? Even WeChat is fine?"

Index said impatiently, "Brother Jun! You carry him!? Let's switch? It's not easy to carry a stretcher through the woods on a mountain road!"

Oscar said aggrievedly: "How can I bear this?"

Index yelled, "Then you carry the luggage? I've been carrying it all the way! Is it okay to order a girl around like that?"

The sky was originally gray, but under the reflection of the blood-red sunset——

——It revealed the last bit of blue, illuminating the dome-shaped caves in the distance and the dangerous mountains and rocks that looked like a mirage.
