Chapter 1149: The old principal’s invitation (6000 words) 3

However, it was clear that this was not a trap. There was only silence in the surroundings, and a pale color appeared in the darkness.

The farm around the laboratory was bare, with only harvested wheat stubbles and broken plastic sheets.

At the foot of the mountain to the West, there were many empty pits exposed to the air. There were messy electric cables in them. The huge space where the petri dish was placed and the slanted power station where a series of weak electric sparks would drill out from time to time. The tall, neat, and strangely beautiful laboratory was now mostly in darkness, with only a few lights on.

Lu Xin had come here with the intention of participating in a powerful battle.

However, he only saw two lonely old men standing on the dome of the laboratory, hundreds of meters above the ground.

One of them was dressed in a neat black priest’s robe, holding an envelope in his arms. The other was wearing a white coat. He didn’t have much hair, but it was carefully combed. He slowly took off his glasses, wiped them clean, and put them on his face.

He watched the ghost Train travel across the strange land from a distance and arrive at the laboratory.

It was unstoppable, like fate.

They looked at each other and sighed.

Then, they looked down at the dizzying height below them, and their faces revealed a slightly helpless and bleak smile.

“It’s time to admit defeat.”

The chief researcher in a white coat said in a low voice, and his face seemed to show a relieved expression.

“Yes, I am.”

The black-robed Bishop nodded, and then a cold smile appeared on his face. “But I will never admit my mistake!”

..

..

When the ghost Train arrived at the summit laboratory, it saw the two men jumping down from the high dome.

No matter how glorious it was in front of him, when he jumped down from the dome, his figure was still so monotonous and desolate. He did not even have the feeling of falling leaves. He was just like two broken cloth bags, falling quickly and then landing on the ground with a thud.

They seemed to have calculated the time and were worried that someone would stop them. They landed just before the radiation of the ghost Train got close.

Lu Xin, who had just stood up, was taken aback by the soft sound of his feet landing on the ground.

The entire train suddenly fell silent.

Everyone got up and squeezed to the front of the car, looking at the two dark red balls that had fallen on the concrete floor.

Was that all?

In preparation for this final confrontation, the members of team tyrant, who had even put away their cards ten minutes in advance, now had a look of surprise and bewilderment on their faces. According to The Infiltrator’s information, shouldn’t a first-generation researcher have at least four to five means to cause trouble or even threaten team tyrant? For example, the creation hard disk, or ultimate nothingness?

Why did the two of them jump down from the dome without doing anything?

Why did everything around the summit laboratory become so empty and lonely?

..

..

“It shouldn’t be like this …”

Lu Xin suddenly alighted from the train and walked forward.

His mental power began to spread to the surroundings, forming an illusory world that covered a radius of hundreds of meters.

When the power of this illusionary world enveloped the black-robed Bishop and the old researcher who had jumped down from the dome of the mountain laboratory, their bodies, which had been shattered into pieces and not even a single bone was intact, suddenly began to stick together and reorganize. The spiritual power that had drifted into the air like the wind also reorganized his soul and consciousness under the influence of the power of illusion.

“Why?”

Lu Xin looked at them with a frown and a complicated expression on his face.

The question was simple, but many things were asked.

Why didn’t they engage in a final confrontation, instead using this method to end their own lives?

Why did the summit laboratory suddenly become empty?

..

..

“We don’t want to admit our mistake …”

The two men, who had been reformed by Lu Xin’s power of imagination, could not lie. They smiled stiffly and said mechanically, “”We knew that you wouldn’t let us go. I also know that even if I use the remaining power to fight you, the final result is already certain. We no longer have any chance of winning. At most, we’ll just make the world worse.”

“There’s no need for that,” they said in unison.

Lu Xin furrowed his brows as he listened to their conversation, “”You guys also feel bad that the world has become worse?”

perhaps in your eyes, we are selfish, stupid, and ambitious.

“But things shouldn’t have been like this in the beginning,” the old researcher said in a daze.

we are indeed doing this for ourselves, but also for this civilization.

according to our plan, we should have successfully implanted our consciousness into the beginning and shaped a God that we could control.

although this world will still be submerged, the Tinder will be left behind.

we will retain our consciousness in the sea of origin, and with the mark of our era, we will build a Noah’s Ark.

we will wait for the right time for our first slumber, and then build a new civilization.

we could even borrow the power of the very beginning to build an even more powerful and never-ending civilization. Such a civilization would be able to truly experiment and understand all things, to look back to the past and the future, and to achieve eternal equality.
