"Can you take off your mask now, tell me how to get out of here, and carry out your next step?" Dongfang Ruo seemed to have completely changed as a person, and she no longer had any emotion in Lin Sen's expression.

Lin Sen saw it in his eyes and was silent in his heart.

However, he still said, "When everything is ready, you and Mannie will leave here safely, but as for the specific method...... It was made when he left, and I don't know, so ...... It's not my mask, it's who I am. ”

Dongfang Ruo nodded calmly after hearing this: "I understand, in short, what will happen next doesn't need anyone to know the details, because it's all arranged, so in this case, I'll take advantage of this time to take a break, I haven't been so idle for a long time." ”

With that, she got up and left with Mannie.

Seeing this, Mannie exclaimed, "Sister." ”

It seemed that he wanted to stop talking, but Dongfang Ruo's face sank, and he didn't allow her to speak at all and pulled her away.

Lin Sen and Lin Xue were left sitting silently by the well.

When Dongfang Ruo walked far, Lin Xue spoke: "Brother." ”

"Huh?"

"You...... Why didn't you tell her the truth...... Why didn't you tell her what was happening in the Darkest Realm...... You...... Really don't like her? ”

Lin Sen didn't speak, he looked at the sun and it was almost noon, and it would be hot if he stayed for a while.

Then he took another scoop of water and drank it, and then shook his head gently: "It's okay, that's fine." ”

When Lin Xue heard this, she snatched the water scoop and threw it aside and said, "What's okay!" What's so good?! Elder brother! Do you really think that if you carry everything down, bear it alone, and then let someone else live in a world without you, she will be happy? Is she happy? ”

Lin Sen didn't speak, his usual tolerance and humility were gone, only at this time, he seemed extremely stubborn in this matter.

Lin Xue is one of the people who knows Lin Sen best, but this does not mean that Lin Xue will always condone her brother's self-righteous behavior.

Especially after seeing Dongfang Ruo's transformation, how could she not be sad in the bottom of her heart...... And not only for Lin Sen, but also for Dongfang Ruo......

"Brother!!!! Why can't you figure it out?! Don't you see it yet? As long as you open your mouth, as long as you are willing, she is willing to die with you, at least that proves that her love for you is valuable, and you have her in your heart! But now? You keep talking about the big things to save the world, but you don't even have the courage to love someone, don't you think it's? And ......"

"Okay, Lin Xue, I know." Lin Sen waved his hand and motioned for Lin Xue to stop talking.

After Lin Xue paused, the anger also came up, and she got up and stood in front of Lin Sen: "You don't know! You don't understand women at all! You think everything you do is for her good, for Sister Dia and Wu Huan! But have you thought about it? The truth will always be revealed! And when that day comes, do you think Sister Dia, Sister Wu Huan and Sister Dongfang Ruo, will the three of them be happy? Will it be happy? ”

Lin Sen was silent, he sat quietly, his face was blank, but his eyes still did not change.

"Don't know or don't want to answer?"

Lin Sen shook his head, not knowing what he was expressing.

Lin Xue looked at her brother and sometimes really loved and hated......

"Well, I'll tell you, Sister Dia is going crazy, because you promised her that when this is over, you will go to her, but she can't wait for you anymore...... As for Sister Wu Huan, she may completely close herself off, because you also promised her, you told her that she would be reborn in the world of the number order, and then hold a wedding with her in the palace of all eyes, but you lied to her, and you can't go back...... As for Sister Dongfang Ruo...... I don't know what kind of agreement you have had with her, but I can see that she dares to love and hate more than you, and she can hold on to today, don't tell me it's because she loves the world! The one she loves is you! It's you! And what do you think would happen if you let her know your decision? Do you believe that she will ruin all of this, ruin the world you thought you had saved?! Lin Xue said all the words in her heart.

Lin Sen was speechless, but after a long time, he asked with a smile, "You...... How did you know about my agreement with Diya and Wu Huan? ”

Lin Xue was stunned when she heard this, and then glared at him angrily: "What do you say?" You don't really think that your sister knows about performing all over the world all day long and never interacts with people in private, right? ”

Lin Sen understood when he heard this, and he was also embarrassed...... Because speaking of which, he has been busy finding the truth since he confirmed that Lin Xue was safe, and he cares much less about his sister.

Lin Xue looked at her stupid brother speechlessly, and wanted to continue to say something cruel, but she couldn't bear it, because even if Lin Sen would reorganize his memory at the end of every time he walked, the exhaustion in the depths of his soul could not be concealed.

She couldn't imagine what Lin Sen had experienced in these thirty-seven billion years...... Because the number just sounds like it's completely unconceptual......

"Brother...... I know you're tired, and I know you're helpless...... But don't do that...... It's true...... Don't do this...... Don't carry everything on your own...... Far from being cool, that will make more people sad...... Think about it, if the world is really saved, but you are gone, then what should I do? Like the memorial to your parents, do you send you a bouquet of flowers every year? Yes? Lin Xue squatted down, she held Lin Sen's hand with one hand, and raised the other hand to stick to Lin Sen's side face.

Feeling the warmth of the palm, Lin Sen also raised his hand, he hummed softly, his eyes changed, and he finally came to his senses.

Lin Xue also smiled when she saw this.

But......

When she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a trance, and then, the joy in her eyes disappeared.

And Lin Sen said to her softly: "It's okay, that's fine." ”

……

The calm on Dongfang Ruo's face finally collapsed when she returned to the small house, and she choked silently, which made Mannie feel extremely distressed.

Mannie stood aside, and the words she had wanted to say before came back to her heart, and at the same time she kept cheering herself up, "Manny! If you don't talk about it now, you won't have a chance in the future! Hurry up! ’

Thinking about it, Mannie stomped her foot fiercely, then took Dongfang Ruo's hand and said, "Sister, you listen to me, in fact, Brother Sen...... He ......"

Mannie suddenly lost her voice as she spoke, and the seriousness on her face gradually changed to dazedness, followed by panic......

Dongfang Ruo looked at her: "Mannie? What happened to you? ”

Mannie blinked, then covered her head: "I...... I...... I forgot...... How could it be...... I remember it very well just now, how come I suddenly don't remember anything?! How so?! With that, she closed her eyes in agony and let out a mournful groan.

Dongfang Ruo hurriedly supported her and tried to soothe Mannie's mind with his own strength, but the sorrow was too deep, and it affected Dongfang Ruo.

At this moment, Dongfang Ruo clearly felt a kind of determination.

She suddenly woke up like a dream, and her whole body trembled.

……

"We can do it, right?"

"Yes!"

……

"Initiating the Final Agreement!"

……

"The end of everything is also the beginning."

……

"We can do it, right?"

……

"...... right"

When Dongfang Ruo came back to her senses, the field was gone, and she sat up to find that Mannie was gone.

She was the only one left in the empty world.

'Where is this?' ’

"This is a super-dimensional world, which can also be understood as a mirror space constructed by superstrings."

Dongfang Ruo was startled, and she stood up suddenly: "Who are you?" Can you hear the voice of my heart?! ”

"Yes, it's very simple, whether it's consciousness or body, since it exists, it can be understood." The other party's voice was ethereal, and it felt like it was coming from all directions, and it seemed to be right in the ear.

"It's all understandable...... Are you a god? Dongfang Ruo put away his vigilance and asked.

The other person replied, "There are many definitions of the word God, and if it represents the Creator, then in this superstring mirror space, I am God, but without this, I am nothing." ”

Dongfang Ruo was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked, "You are the core of the Quantum Origin?!" ”

The other laughed: "You can say that, but the exact answer is that I am its heir, born on this planet, not on a distant Earth." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Ruo's mind turned, and she immediately thought of another thing.

“Kether…… You're Kether, you're the Heart of Gaia, aren't you?! ”

The other party was silent for a while, and then replied, "Yes, they do call me that, but I don't like it, I have my own name, my name is 'Saiosh'." ”

Theosh ?!

Dongfang Ruo seemed to understand something instantly, but it was still only an uncertain outline.

"Theosh...... It turns out that the Heart of Gaia is Theosh...... The Heart of Gaia is actually a ...... created by humans?! Dongfang Ruo muttered to himself.

At this time, Theosh pointed out correctly: "Actually, I am not completely created by humans, although my predecessor was the core of the Quantum Origin Marceau, but after merging with this planet, I have evolved into a higher-level existence, and now I should be far stronger than Marceau." ”

Dongfang Ruo fell silent after hearing this, she thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about ...... What are you bringing me here for? And what did you do to Gaia? ”

"First of all, I didn't bring you here, it was another force similar to me that sent you here, and secondly, I didn't interfere with the ecology or civilization of Gaia, because that in itself is against my order structure, but I also feel the pain of this planet and the pain of life living on this planet, but I will not intervene until the cause is determined." ”

Not him?

Is that...... Lin Sen?! If Dongfang can think of it now, the only thing he can think of is Lin Sen.

But why did Lin Sen send her here, was it just to let her see what she had found?

But listening to this Saiosh, it hasn't done anything at all?

But after thinking about it, Dongfang Ruo felt that something was not right.

Although this Saiosh gave Dongfang Ruo a very strong feeling, in the final analysis, it was just his own words, and whether he was the "Heart of Gaia" as he said still needs to be verified.

So Dongfang Ruo said: "Since you can feel what I'm thinking, then you should understand my suspicions about you now, so either prove that you are indeed extremely powerful, or let me go, and save the guilt!" ”

Hearing this, Saiosh smiled: "Dongfang Ruo, you are very smart, but you have the same either/or view of this world as those previous intruders. ”

Dongfang Ruo was stunned: "The previous intruder? Who?! ”

Saiosh did not answer the question, he continued: "It is true that I am not your friend, but that does not mean that I will be your enemy, so I can send you out of here at any time if you wish, and let you return to your companions, but everything about this place will be erased. ”

Dongfang Ruo didn't want to leave after hearing this, she smiled, and then said, "Then what if I don't want to leave, but want to stay and talk to you more?" ”

"Yes," replied, "that it is not a waste of my time to answer your questions, but are you really not worried about what will happen to your companions?" ”

Dongfang Ruo: "What do you mean?!" ”

"Kindly reminded that they are now under siege by xenos, but there will be no problem for a short time."

Besieged by xenos?!

Isn't that right...... Didn't Lin Sen tell me that the xenos would be led by Lin Xue? How could xenomorphs pop up again now?

Don't...... Merry has already noticed it?!

When he was thinking wildly, he heard Saiosh say, "Your thinking is very messy, and you have a lot of questions, do you need me to answer them for you one by one?" ”

Dongfang Guo was stunned: "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course, first of all, the current xenomorph empress is still Mei Rui, although her heir has been destroyed, but this will not hurt her roots, and then, Mei Rui has indeed been aware of Lin Sen's actions, but she does not know what Lin Sen is hiding, so her countermeasure is to destroy all suspicious targets, and Quantum Origin is her main target, therefore, the obstacles you encountered before are just the beginning, and the real destruction has not yet arrived."

Seosh replied very carefully and clearly.

But on the contrary, it made Dongfang suspicious, because this "Heart of Gaia" named after Theosh is also omniscient and omnipotent, how can it know every detail so well?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo asked tentatively: "That...... Do you know who is the person who has been hiding in the shadows and manipulating us? ”

Saiosh quickly replied, "I don't know." ”

Dongfang Ruo: "Uh...... I don't know? You...... Weren't you pretty good just now? Why don't you know it all of a sudden? ”

After hearing this, Saiosh immediately explained straightforwardly: "I said that I am the god here, but I cannot grasp the details of being disturbed by external forces and the variables that are being active, so I can't answer your question. ”

Dongfang Ruo frowned, and she thought carefully for a moment before she understood what Saiosh meant.

But......

"But as far as I know, this force may have arisen a long time ago, they are already history, why is it disturbed?" Dongfang Ruo asked.

Theosh: "No, you're mistaken, I'm talking about two scenarios, and the history you're talking about, it's not really disturbed, it's still active in the form of variables, so I can't give a definite answer. ”

What the!??

Is it the second case? How is this ...... Wrong! It's possible!

……

"Are they acting with the masks on, or is that what they are......" Dongfang Ruo muttered to herself, she understood, she finally understood why Lin Sen had not been able to find the third force.

For those forces are indeed uncertain, and they have been transformed from a certain person into a certain thought, something intangible, that exists in the hearts of many, many people.

They are variables! Yes, it's a variable that is constantly evolving with the ups and downs of the world!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ruo suddenly became enlightened, and she also understood the meaning of Lin Sen sending her here by the way.

He's really not good at storytelling, and leaving it to this real Saiosh makes everything a lot clearer.

So Dongfang Ruo let go and asked, she said, "Then do you remember how you were shot down in the first place?" ”

Seosh was silent for a while: "I don't have an answer to this question, because after the crash of the Quantum Origin, for a long time, Marceau was in a state of freezing and elimination, and a lot of data was lost because of this, so I don't remember what happened at the beginning." ”

Dongfang Ruo was a little disappointed, but fortunately, this question was not tight now, so she continued to ask questions along the timeline that Lin Sen had sorted out before.

"What about the tinder? Why is there only one spark left? Where did Prometheus go? ”

Theosh: "According to my calculations, Quantum Origin should have been at an altitude of 95,000 meters above the surface of Gaia before it was destroyed, and it should have been shot down suddenly without warning, so only one spark was saved, and as I said before, Marceau also experienced hundreds of years of silence before I was born, this history is completely blank, so please avoid this period." ”

Dongfang Ruo laughed dryly, and said in his heart: "This is really blocked, there is no room at all." ’

Thinking about it, she asked again: "Okay then, then can you tell me that the heart of Gaia that was later given to the first salaried king Lemidia in Kui's hand is you?" ”

Theosh: "No, it was just a deception, a trap carefully arranged by the First Salary King, but unfortunately, she did not successfully pass this trap to achieve her dream of leading the entire Salary King era, but buried herself. ”

Dongfang Ruo was shocked: "What?!! Swindle? That thing isn't you? ”

"Yes, but it has something like me in it, but it's not me."

"Why? How can I trust you?! "Dongfang feels that his cognition has been refreshed again, and it is difficult to accept it.

And Theosh replied: "Because I have become one with Gaia, do you think a small box can hold the whole of me?" ”
