The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1294 Extreme

"Wow--"

Nana sank to the bottom of the sea.

"GuluGulu——"

Nana took a sip of water, her eyes flashed, and she remembered who she was.

Her legs turned into a fish tail covered with blue scales, and she quickly swam toward the sea surface.

Nana flicked her tail hard and jumped out of the sea.

"Wow--"

Nana sank to the bottom of the sea.

Nana was startled, and immediately turned around and swam to the sea surface, and jumped again with all her strength.

"Wow--"

Nana sank to the bottom of the sea.

Nana finally realized that she was trapped in a sea of ​​mirrors, like two infinitely contrasting mirrors. No matter how hard Nana swam, she could not swim out.

"Wow-gulu-gulu-"

Nana's fish tail turned back into feet, and she began to suffocate. She strangled her neck with one hand, and tried hard to stretch out towards the illusory light on the sea with the other hand, trying in vain to catch something.

"brush--"

One hand reached deep into the sea and grasped Nana's hand tightly.

"Wow--"

Nana's head finally came out of the water.

"Ha ha……"

Nana took a deep breath. She looked around and found that she was in the indoor swimming pool of a university. She was wearing a dark blue one-piece swimsuit, and she looked like a high school student who accidentally drowned in swimming class.

The person who rescued her was Gao Yang. Gao Yang had wet hair. He was shirtless and wearing swimming shorts. He knelt on one knee by the swimming pool and stretched out his hand towards Nana, "I'll pull you up."

Nana hesitated and grabbed Gao Yang's hand.

Nana climbed out of the swimming pool, lay down on the edge of the swimming pool and spit several times before she finally recovered.

"Give."

Gao Yang handed over a dry towel, and Nana took it, wiped her hair randomly a few times, and draped the towel over her shoulders.

Just like that, the two of them sat on the edge of the cold and smooth swimming pool, with their feet in the water.

Clear sunlight with fine dust slanted in from the high windows, lighting up a small space in the center of the swimming pool, like a staircase leading to heaven.

The time was quiet, lazy, and careless, as if there was nothing important except wasting time.

At some point, many translucent air fish appeared in the swimming pool, and they gathered at the feet of Gao Yang and Nana.

Nana spoke reluctantly: "Thank you just now."

Gao Yang silently looked at the air fish in the swimming pool without responding.

Nana put her hands on the edge of the pool and kicked her calves into the water. The air fishes dispersed in a rush.

"How did it feel to have a fight with me?" Nana tilted her head and asked Gao Yang.

Gao Yang thought for a while and replied calmly: "Here, everything opposes everything, everything dissolves everything, and everything returns to everything."

Nana nodded: "Absolutely."

"What's the significance of this?" Gao Yang asked.

"Why does it have to be meaningful?" Nana asked.

Gao Yang couldn't answer either. He raised his head and looked at the beam of sunshine on the swimming pool: "This is not the answer I want."

"Eh."

Nana lifted her legs soaked in the pool, arched them together, hugged her knees with her hands, and buried her head.

Two seconds later, she turned her face to look at Gao Yang's thin and melancholy profile, and smiled with some distress: "Gao Yang, you still don't understand."

Gao Yang wanted to say something else, but the familiar tinnitus appeared.

"Om-"

……

……

"Well..." Nana clasped her hands together and turned them over, reaching above her head, standing on tiptoes, and stretched out:

"It took a lot of effort for you to get here. It's a bit disappointing not to have a big BOSS waiting for you. I'll just try to be the bad guy."

Nana thought of something else and stretched out a finger: "Warm reminder, I am not more powerful than you and can be killed. Here, we are all infinitely close to God, and we all have everything and nothing. If you think fighting is the answer, Then try your best to kill me."

Nana raised her hand: "Go ahead."

"despair."

Gao Yang did not take any action and raised his hand to prevent his companions from attacking first.

"Gao Yang." Qing Ling frowned.

"Gao Yang!" Suzaku was also confused.

"Brother Yang!" Zhang Wei shouted.

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Let the fight begin!" Wang Zikai was extremely anxious.

"Buzz——" Gao Yang was ringing in his ears.

Nana didn't do anything, and smiled happily at Gao Yang: "Oh, I finally found it."

Yes, Gao Yang "remembered" it.

After they entered the Gate of the End, they had already gone through countless interviews and fought with Nana countless times.

They can't win, and no matter what they do, it's useless. They can only get infinitely close but never reach true "victory."

In an instant, only Nana and Gao Yang were left in the world.

Nana looked at Gao Yang with a half-smile, and said in a pitiful tone: "Gao Yang, it's time for you to see the true face of the Truth Factory."

Nana raised her hands, and countless gears immediately appeared in the void world. The big gears were bigger than stars, and the small gears were smaller than fireflies.

Above Nana's head, there is a most special gear.

It seems to have no color and is visually close to pure white.

It seems to have no size and perspective doesn't work on it.

It seems to be spinning clockwise and it seems to be spinning counterclockwise.

It seems to be a perfect circle, but it is neither flat nor spherical. Its shape and dimensions transcend human sensory experience.

Facing this gear, Gao Yang felt that he was standing in front of it and behind it, far away from it yet very close to it, able to see its whole picture clearly but unable to summarize even a part of it.

"Boom——"

The gear "turned" a bit.

Then, the gears in the entire universe also turned in their respective directions.

Gao Yang suddenly felt strongly that the "direction" in which the gears turned was the "direction" that the human body, soul, emotion, spirit, will, concept, destiny, etc. were resisting.

He could only think of an inappropriate word to describe this "direction":
--inverse.

Yes, for humans, the gears turn in the "reverse" position.

"What is this?" Gao Yang asked.

"Extremely," Nana replied.

"What is pole?"

"The highest truth and will, the origin and destination of everything."

"Boom——"

"He is God?" Gao Yang asked.

Nana smiled and shook her head.

"Did God turn the pole?" Gao Yang asked.

Nana smiled and shook her head.

"If it can rotate, it can stop." Gao Yang said.

Nana still smiled and shook her head.

"Why don't you answer?" Gao Yang asked again.

"You already have the answer." Nana replied.

Gao Yang was silent.

"Boom——"

Nana stretched out her hand towards Gao Yang: "Gao Yang, please stay. You and I are both under God's gaze. You and I already have everything."

Gao Yang was silent.

"Boom——"

"Gao Yang, you will never stop."

Nana took a step forward and opened her arms:

"Human beings come from nothingness and flee from nothingness."

"Human beings inherit divinity and misunderstand divinity."

“Human beings are close to the extreme and yet deny the extreme.”

“Human beings long for salvation, and ask what salvation is.”

"Boom——"

"Gao Yang, the world that humans feel, observe, think, understand, build, rely on, chase, and live is just a dream and a bubble. In this dream and bubble, how can we talk about love?"

"The world is fake, and so is love."

"This is the answer you've been looking for."

"Do you accept?"

Gao Yang was silent for a long time.

After a moment that lasted longer than eternity, Gao Yang slowly raised his head with firm eyes.

Behind him, all his companions returned.

"I do not accept."
