Chapter 424: Destined to Die
This is a glacier cave with a huge space. After the cracks on the surface release the hot air near the mantle, it cannot penetrate the thick land on the top layer. It can only dissolve the ice layer nearest. When the hot air dissipates, it becomes an empty cave that spreads for nearly a few kilometers.
And this is also a concentrated place for all dangerous S-level storage objects.
In the polar research area, all items have reasons that they cannot be released, perhaps it is dangerous, or it may be to make other things dangerous. In short, this cave can be said to be a gathering point for countless ways to destroy this world.
However, the containment measures here are extremely simple and you just need to leave them there.
Because those things that are "invisible" have become independent and the existence of this world, no matter whether you want to destroy or release, even if you are simply moving, everything becomes a fixed point and can only exist forever and endlessly.
Usually, there is only an old man here who is unknown to visit. At this moment, the old man is sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave. He is surrounded by some huge and ferocious creatures or objects that cannot be seen at all. The old man closed his eyes and breathed well, and was indifferent to all the vibrations and roars outside just now. He just meditated quietly and waited.
Waiting for hundreds of years, the first uninvited guest here.
Soon, the guest came.
The man was in his pocket, hunched his back, humming a small song, and walked into the cave with a morning walk.
Then, he saw the old man in the center of the cave, and as usual, he put on a smile that he thought was polite but was really disgusting, and waved his hand and said, "Hi~".
The old man slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the other person with his calm eyes that had been calm for hundreds of years.
"Chen Xiao?!" he said, not sure whether it was a question, affirmation, or a polite gift, but he said this name lightly, and then there was no further text.
"Uh" Chen Xiao didn't know how to respond for a while, so he shrugged his shoulders.
"It's useless." The old man said lightly.
"What's useless?" Chen Xiao asked, and began to walk around the cave, touching the lifelike sculptures, as if he was visiting a "World End Museum".
"Everything here cannot be changed. You have no way to influence them, and they cannot affect you. It is impossible for you to kill yourself with these things." The old man replied.
"Oh?" Chen Xiao seemed to be intrigued. He walked to a meat ball that was more than a half-man tall.
The meat ball has a mouth, and there is nothing else. It is like a bloody version of "Pac-Man". Chen Xiao scratched his teeth in his mouth with his fingers, but the sharp tips could not penetrate Chen Xiao's skin, like a layer of membrane that separates it from everything in this world.
"So that's the case." Chen Xiao seemed to find it very interesting and nodded with satisfaction: "Can you introduce it?" He asked at the "Pac-Man" in front of him.
The old man did not refuse: "s-037" Greedy Demon. He can keep eating and grow the same volume and can be destroyed, but every individual after the shattering will still grow the same mouth and continue to eat. Even if it is burned and qiated, he can swallow all the surrounding matter from the molecular level. If he lets him ignore it, he can eat the entire earth within a week. Of course, in the case of "only one", if the Greedy Demon in front of you, then every grain of dust can be eaten to this size in a few minutes. In half an hour, the world will all become his meal on the plate."
"Hehe, it's so interesting!" Chen said with a smile: "What about this?"
He walked to a "statue" next to him, a woman, wearing an ancient outfit, with her fingers together in a strange posture, and behind her was a long sword that was about to be unsheathed, like some classical figures.
"The civilization of another world has taken a different route than ours, and seems to be integrating its own thoughts with world rules. They call it "true essence." The old man said.
"Well, it looks like the last human being." Chen Xiao nodded and muttered.
Then he walked towards the next sculpture, like a child who longed for novelty and was full of "why".
"Where is this?" he asked again, pointing to an organism made of water.
But this time, the old man did not answer again.
"Why do you do this?"
"Hmm?" Chen Xiao asked in confusion, as if he didn't understand the other party's meaning.
"You know how much disaster they will cause after releasing those things, and it will not do you any good," the old man explained.
"Just just curious." Chen Xiao replied casually, without even looking at the old man, and still looked at the novel things like a visit.
The old man frowned: "Crazy"
Chen Xiao shrugged: "In fact, from my perspective, you are more like madmen. You know that the world will come to an end, but you are still using various means to stop this moment from coming. Just like an old man who should have died, but you are holding on with various methods. Yes, it is wrong. You are more like family members around a group of dying people. Watching the old man lying on the hospital bed, with tubes on his body, driving his breathing with machines, suffering and struggling, but still tragically unable to die. You cruelly deprived him of the right to die and selfishly attributed this behavior to "reluctance, filial piety, or love." In fact, you are just a group of madmen who dare not face reality."
"As long as you are alive, there is hope," the old man said tremblingly.
"That's not hope. You are just afraid of death, or you are just afraid of things that are not protected, you are afraid of losing meaning." Chen Xiao easily interrupted the other party: "Since you don't want to, then I'll be the one who unplugged the tube."
Chen Xiao said with a hunched back, as if for a moment he seemed full of power, but suddenly, he couldn't hold it in his arms, and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, okay, I have to believe everything I said. Actually, I just think that since this world is about to die, why don't it die in my hands? I can see what the scene is."
