MTL - Unlimited Cycles of Death-Chapter 149 Homecoming and Ending 04 人类 The only human who can make such a sound.

"I have a question for you ... Mr. Reindeer." Herqiu, who got the mission from the reindeer, asked his last question before leaving, and said, "If there is really nothing on the planet that can destroy this one Crystal stone, so why don't you take it away? Since you have the ability to take it to earth, naturally you have the ability to take it away. "

"You once said that you can travel in space and time. The purpose is to bring back the right weapons to destroy the stone. I think it would be more costly to take the stone out of the earth and destroy it. It is not more time-saving. Save effort? "

"Are you doubting me?" Facing Herqiu's question, the reindeer came up with such an answer, "You think I have ulterior motives."

Herqiu felt a movement in her heart, suppressing some undulating emotions, and replied, "No ... I just think ..."

"Of course you can doubt me." The reindeer was not afraid to question. It said, "The reason why I don't take the stone directly is because ... I can't take it away."

"what why?"

"This stone has been linked to human destiny since I handed it to humans," reindeer told Herqiu, "do you remember what I described before? In our world, after people die, Its spirit will join the spiritually connected network of all people, and the spirit of the deceased will stay in the network for a while, and then be reborn in another life form. "

"This crystal stone has the same magic. Since it fell into the hands of humans, it has become the center of the 'earth network.' When the soul of a dead person on the earth reaches certain conditions, it will enter its network. In. "

"Wait!" Herqiu interrupted the reindeer. The reindeer's explanation made him swollen and his understanding was limited. He could only do his best to focus on the point. "You said the soul of the dead will enter this stone. 'Network'-should there be a space in this stone, right? "

"You understand very well." The reindeer shook its antlers ridiculously.

Herqiu said in a thriller: "So amuahim is also inside?"

"Yes, they're inside." The reindeer said, "The reason why I can't take this stone away is very complicated. It involves a lot of scientific theories that you can't understand. Let me summarize it in a simple sentence, this is it. A stone is now 'connected' to the earth, it has the same mass as the earth, and I can't take the planet away ... it's too heavy. "

Herqiu felt even more frightened. He couldn't restrain himself from showing a frightened expression, and took the crystal stone in his hand to observe. "You said that the stone is of the same quality as the earth? But it is so light to pick up ..."

The reindeer seemed to be laughing, and the corners of its mouth were weird. "I'm not saying that it really has become a planet, but that it is connected to the earth. If I take it away, then the earth will follow, and the earth will It will leave the orbit, the solar system, and even the galaxy. What will happen then ... presumably I don't need to say more? You humans will be completely destroyed overnight. "

"I also said before that there is no material on earth that can destroy this stone, not that it is really invincible. In fact, when your human civilization develops further and more advanced weapons are developed, it may be destroyed. Destructive. Just because it is connected to the fate of the earth, destroying it is equivalent to destroying the earth. Once the stone is gone, the planet will disintegrate. "

The words of the reindeer made Herqiu tremble, the small crystal stone in his hand could not hold it, and it fell to the ground.

"So if I give you this crystal stone, it is tantamount to letting you hold the destiny of human beings and even the earth. You must protect this stone well. You must not let it be taken away by others or destroyed, even if you die. In the future, you will continue to guard it until my return, do you understand what I mean? "

Herqiu knelt on one knee, shaking her hands to pick up the crystal from the ground, holding it in the palm of her hand, answering with a heavy heart: "I see."

This is the last conversation between Herqiu and the reindeer. For the rest of her life, Herqiu was thinking of various ways to try to keep this crystal stone for a long time.

At the same time, due to some coincidence, Hur Qiubu crossed the sea to China and settled there.

Herqiu was not a qualified guardian, he thought of many ways to "protect" this **** crystal stone. If he was a very wealthy man, he might try to build a heavily armed fortress in a deserted place, hide the crystal stone there, and then let his family and grandchildren guard it for generations.

But it seems a bit too "eye-catching" to do so. Maybe it will attract the attention of the caring people. The so-called husband is not responsible and guilty of guilt. When you try your best to hide something, you will give people here. The feeling without silver three hundred and two.

And Herqiu was not that rich.

In the end, Herqiu chose an ordinary or even ordinary way. Three hundred years ago, China was still in the feudal empire's rule. It was the social atmosphere at that time to prioritize men over women and moral rules. Herqiu took advantage of this and used the means of climbing relationships to gain a foothold in this strange country. Then he married and had children, married a wife, and had two children, a boy and a girl.

He said to his two children: One of you will inherit the name "He Qiu". Those who inherit this name will get more family business, resources and relationships, which is equivalent to saying that he is the first heir of the He family. .

But at the same time, those who inherit the name will also bear more responsibilities. One is that the heir must grow his family business, protect the family, and make obvious achievements; the other is that heirs must leave offspring, preferably two or more. In addition to these basic responsibilities, the crystal stone is the main burden. The heir must ensure that this stone is not found by anyone other than his family, cannot be damaged or damaged, and cannot be stolen or used.

In addition, all people with the blood of Hirchu must learn a special ritual to eliminate the pollution of crystal stones. This ritual must be learned whether or not heirs.

Although the plan was somewhat flawed and unexpectedly implemented, and many turbulences in history also made He's pulse almost broken, they survived. The name He Qiu has also been continued from generation to generation. They were once trapped in despair, strife, and various struggles for rights, and ultimately defeated everything.

Even today, He Jia Yimai has always adhered to their mission. They are undoubtedly excellent. Compared with ordinary people who run daily for chai oil and salt, the He family has an additional goal, which makes them harder and more tenacious. There are also some mysterious feelings.

As a descendant of Herqiu, Mr. He is also a qualified guardian.

The ceremony to eliminate the pollution of the power of the crystal stone, Mr. He has learned from his parents. So far, Mr. He has rescued many dreamers and protected them from being threatened by being dragged into the marginal world of terror.

However, this mysterious ritual has serious sequelae. All those who are performed the ritual will be eliminated to a certain extent. The empathy ability of these people will be reduced, and they may even become cruel and cruel. This lack of affection is passed on to the offspring, so that the offspring also gain some immunity.

Mr. He has studied this specifically, and he found that humans with a lack of affection are less likely to be infected by that crystal stone. The reason may be that such people have weak feelings and low desires, and are less likely to resonate with that world. ,

The ritual of eliminating the pollution of crystal stones is a way to eliminate emotions. The process is like treating human feelings as an item, then taking this item out of your brain, your DnA, and even your soul, cutting off most of it, and then plugging the rest back.

In this regard, Mr. He had deep doubts. He felt that their ancestors, Herqiu, might have been subjected to such rituals and had their emotions taken away. Because in his childhood memories, his father, grandparents, and so on, showed a kind of indifferent and even indifferent character, they will not be indifferent to the point where you are too lazy to rescue you, just emotionally This alienation is not the same as the close relationship of other families.

When he was young, Mr. He would not feel sad and uncomfortable with his estranged relatives. He thought that he might inherit this kind of "coldness". In addition to the description of the notes and books handed down from generation to generation, Mr. He had reason to suspect that their family The ancestors did accept a similar deprivation ceremony, which is probably much more powerful than the one performed by He's family.

There was no problem in this generation of Mr. He. Until Mr. He had a son, the current "He Qiu", he found out the problem.

Just like many ordinary children, He Qiu, who was just born, was very dependent on his parents, and his feelings and character were normal. If he was alienated from his childhood, this child would still be so sad.

After getting a deep understanding of the child's situation, Mr. He developed anxiety. He realized that the enhanced version of the emotional deprivation ceremony that the ancestors had accepted into the generation of Mr. He began to weaken, and it became obvious that any hatred No longer suitable to be a guardian.

Mr. He thought about regenerating a child to be a guardian, but this did not help. Even He Qiu looked like this. He Qiu's younger brother couldn't do better than him from a genetic perspective.

This is terrible. Even Mr. He, who is a bit indifferent, finds it tricky. He couldn't help thinking, what would this crystal stone eventually become without the Guardian? What will the world look like?

Mr. He couldn't think of it. The result was just a little bit of imagination, which made Mr. He feel cold on his back.

Mr. He had to suppress these heavy psychological burdens and began to perform a special ceremony of emotional elimination for Muqin and Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue's ancestors accepted this ritual. If someone in the ancestors had accepted this ritual, the effect of the ritual on their descendants would be weakened, and may even be invalid.

But Mr. He still has to try, he started to act ... This ritual of eliminating emotions is actually simple and scary, and there is no such horror as outside rumors, no need to bleed, no need to summon demons or similar evil creatures, it Nor will it put your life at risk.

Mr. He just needs to grab the hands of Mu Qin and Zhou Yue, and chant in their ears, reading a piece of "alien language" that humans may never understand and decipher.

This piece of alien language sounds silent, only Mr. He's mouth is moving but no sound can be heard ... It is in an unknown sound segment that cannot be captured by human ears. The He family is the only human who can make such a sound .

However, making such a sound is a heavy burden on the human body, especially Mr. He is now older ... so in this ceremony, Mr. He is the one who is most likely to be injured.
