Douluo: My Time Travel Simulator

Chapter 523 Night conversation with Mark
The three little guys were still a little reluctant to leave the common people area, but children who grew up in a doomsday environment are very mature, so mature that it makes people feel heartbroken.

After Lin Bei said that he wanted to leave, although 8925 and the others were very reluctant to leave, they still sent Lin Bei to the door.

Walking in the passage of the lighthouse, you are surrounded by flashing lights. At night, most areas, including the Shangmin area, turn off the lights to save energy.

Da da da……

The sound of neat steps was heard, and Lin Bei saw a group of serious city defense troops walking from the other end of the passage.

The city defense troops who were walking at the front looked slightly stunned when they saw Lin Bei, but they did not ask any more questions. Instead, they stood aside and saluted Lin Bei. They did not continue patrolling until Lin Bei left.

The city defense army is a violent organization responsible for the security of the entire lighthouse, but its status is still below that of the hunters. Therefore, when they saw Lin Bei, they did not dare to question him, but were respectful - after all, the hunters were equivalent to the food and clothing of the lighthouse. Parents, who dares to offend their own parents?I'm afraid I don't want to live anymore.

Crossing with the patrolling city defense troops, Lin Bei walked for a while and met Mark again.

I saw Mark turning his neck, stretching the nerves in his neck, and walking over with a tired look on his face. It looked like he had just returned from City Lord Morgan.

"team leader."

Lin Bei said hello.

Mark looked up and saw Lin Bei, he was stunned and said, "Why are you here? Haven't you gone to rest yet?"

"No, I just came back from the Chenmin District."

Lin Bei replied with a smile.

Mark was slightly surprised and asked curiously: "What are you doing in the Chenmin District?"

Lin Beidao: "Didn't I see three little guys at the lift platform when I came back today? They looked very cute. I went to play with them for a while tonight."

Mark thought for a while, but remembered that when he was on the lift platform, he did see Lin Bei talking to three dustmen children from the corner of his eye, but he was busy going to City Lord Morgan to report on the mission, so he didn't pay attention.

"I didn't expect you to like children." Mark smiled.

Since the two met here, they temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going back to rest. They both walked to the guardrail and leaned against it. Mark took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Bei, "Smoke." Really? I found this when I was wandering around the hospital."

"smoke."

Lin Bei took the cigarette and hung it in his mouth. Mark took out a flint machine from nowhere and lit it for Lin Bei. Then he continued: "I'm actually quite dissatisfied with the Shangmin and Chenmin of our lighthouse. Legally speaking, I think both the upper and lower classes are the same. We cannot classify each person based on their genes from birth. What do you think?"

Lin Bei took a puff of his cigarette and watched the flames of the cigarette burn out. Then he slowly blew out a white smoke ring. Watching the smoke slowly drifting away in the breeze, he bared his teeth and said with a smile: "The captain is right. The human body is strong. Weak, we cannot deny this, but the laws of the old world say that everyone should be equal in terms of personality, but the law of the lighthouse obviously violates this law."

"Ugh……"

Mark sighed and smoked his cigarette silently without speaking.

Lin Bei smoked silently and said nothing further.

The breeze ruffled the clothes of the two men, making a sound.

"Captain, don't you want to change this situation?" Lin Bei squinted his eyes and suddenly looked at Mark next to him and asked.

Mark showed a helpless smile and said: "I once discussed this matter with the city lord, but he was rejected by the city lord Morgan and said that I didn't understand anything. I don't know what the city lord Morgan meant, but I felt, The three laws of the lighthouse are cold and inhumane. Everyone is labeled and classified at birth, which is not conducive to our unity in this cold and cruel world."

"Ha, in fact, captain, you should have discovered that the monsters on the ground, whether they are pole-devouring beasts or spinegu, will be attracted by the emotional fluctuations emanating from humans. It is probably out of this consideration that City Lord Morgan issued Leng Bingbing Use the laws to restrain people's emotions in order to achieve the purpose of continuing human survival." Lin Bei said.

Mark held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Lin Bei, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you also think City Lord Morgan is right?"

"No, of course Lord Morgan is wrong."

Lin Bei held a cigarette in his hand and shook his head, "Human beings are emotional creatures. How can we really abandon our emotions? The more we suppress our emotions, the more intense they will erupt in the end, just like a volcano. Bang! It's not a violent mountain fire." To be reborn in the middle is to perish in the hot magma.”

When Mark heard this, he suddenly fell into a trance, and his memory suddenly returned to more than ten years ago. At that time, he saw with his own eyes that his sister was burned at the stake by the lighthouse because she fell in love with the team's deputy commander Dawn. turned into ashes.

"Captain, are you alright?"

Lin Bei asked when he saw something was wrong with Mark's expression.

Mark came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's okay."

"Is it all right?"

"Well...it's fine."

"Okay. Actually, I think City Lord Morgan is getting very old and it's time to find an heir."

Lin Bei suddenly changed the topic and said.

Mark was surprised, "Uh, huh?"

Lin Bei glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm serious. Many of Lord Morgan's ideas may have saved humanity on the lighthouse in his time. But Captain Mark, you have to understand that the world is changing and developing. Always follow Lord Morgan's ideas. The idea is that one day, we will fall with the lighthouse and die completely."

"How is that possible? Isn't this lighthouse still in good condition?"

"The so-called lighthouse is nothing more than a man-made machine. Its parts will become old and its system will be damaged. If we hadn't been able to find supplies from the ground to repair it, this thing would have been unable to fly long ago."

Lin Bei patted the guardrail, making a clanging sound, and said.

Seeing that Mark was silent and the cigarette butt in his mouth was flashing, Lin Bei blinked and continued: "There is no industrial chain in the world now. Captain, do you think the lighthouse will still be there after we plunder all the supplies on the ground?" How long can it fly?”

"Besides, is the lighthouse really safe?"

"Yes, the previous soul-devouring beasts couldn't fly, so they couldn't endanger the lighthouse floating in the sky. But City Lord Morgan is so sure, is there really no flying pole-devouring beast in this world?"

"Captain Mark, as hunters, we have always been at the forefront. You should be very clear about how fast those pole-devouring beasts evolve. Think about the pole-devouring beasts we saw the day before yesterday, and then think about our first The pole-devouring beast I encountered once I landed on the ground..."

Lin Bei finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, then flicked his finger to flick out the cigarette butt, which was still shining with fire. He watched it disappear in the darkness for a while, and then continued:
"The evolution speed of pole-devouring beasts is very fast. They will one day evolve wings and dominate the sky. By then, will the lighthouse still be floating in the sky?"

"The Lord Morgan is old, and the decisions he made and the rules he made are no longer suitable for our future. Captain Mark, I know you respect the Lord Morgan, but..."

Patting Mark on the shoulder, "You have to consider the life and death of other people, right?"

After saying that, Lin Bei turned and left.

Mark frowned as he watched Lin Bei's leaving figure. After taking a deep drag on the cigarette, he flicked the cigarette butt away. He suddenly sighed and walked towards his room with some distress.
