Chapter 48 The Long Road to the World

The music and songs return to the courtyard, and the lights come down from the balcony.

After having enough wine and food, the song ends and everyone disperses.

After the dinner, the diners gradually left, but Dr. Mei left Wutong behind.

"If you want me to clean up the house, just say so. Why do you have to beat around the bush?"

In the dimly lit living room,

Tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, leftovers... "floating" and "walking" in the house, they "by themselves" walked to where they should be.

The bowls and chopsticks "bathe" themselves, and the edible parts of the leftovers and leftovers are "packed" for themselves, while the inedible souls are thrown into the trash can and left for the livestock to enjoy.

Wutong did not refuse Dr. Mei's small request. The ability of the Herrscher of Reason was very suitable for cleaning the house.

Housework that would take Mei an hour or two to complete, Wutong could do in an instant.

In a moment,

After the room was cleaned and tidy, Mei, Su and others sat on the simple and not too soft "sofa".

Wutong was sitting on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Kevin hugged his shoulders and leaned in front of the door. Sakura and Mebius had already led their daughters home.

There were only a few glasses of boiled water on the coffee table, and some wild fruits that no one wanted to eat, not even a melon seed. Sunflower seeds mostly mature between July and September, when summer has just begun.

The electric light on the ceiling is very quiet and there is no "surrounding" of flying insects. Wutong doesn't like insects or arthropods, especially spiders, because they are not only ugly but also ubiquitous, and you can always see them accidentally.

Therefore, wherever Wutong lived, there were no insects or arthropods. Even if there were little ones who bypassed the "enchantment" and accidentally broke in, he would immediately ask him to leave the house.

"It has nothing to do with cleaning the room. I really have some problems and need your help." Mei said to Wutong.

Anyway, Wutong has tidied up the house, so Mei can say so.

"What's the problem? Didn't I help you get the experimental equipment?" Wutong said with a smile, "Kevin even ate the 'black-hearted' meals you cooked for three days because of this. I heard Phyllis say that he almost Poisoned to death? Haha, the food you made is more deadly than the poison, as expected of you! Mei, you seem to be a vicious 'black widow'."

"..." Mei fell into silence.

Wutong turned to Kevin again and said: "You have to be careful in the future... Huh?! By the way, why do I feel that your body bones are still a little weak now?! You must have tasted the 'Deadly Life' again just now, right?"

Kevin turned his head and didn't want to talk to this grandson.

Wutong is actually very generous, and the deal between him and Kevin is very simple. He helped Dr. Mei solve the problem of experimental equipment, and the condition he proposed was that Mei would cook three days of meals and Kevin would be responsible for eating them. In addition, Wutong did not make any other demands.

In fact, even if Mei or Kevin don't come to him to ask for help, Wutong will find a way to help them solve related difficulties, but it won't be a priority.

Wutong did not know at first that Mebius would not let Dr. Mei use her laboratory or even communicate with Mei.

Wutong originally thought that in the face of major issues of right and wrong, Mebius would definitely not deliberately choose to remain indifferent and be alone for the sake of personal "interests" or "selfishness".

Because if you have "rights" or "abilities" but only look at the immediate "interests" and only care about your own happiness, you are actually very stupid.

Wutong thought that Mebius was not a fool and could let go of their hatred and make progress together, but he didn't expect... Snake to be so willful...

The hatred between Mebius and Mei is very deep and complicated. It is not only because they are "literary people looking down on each other", but also because Dr. Mei once snatched Wutong away from Snake.

And because of this matter, Mebius always felt that Dr. Mei and Alicia were particularly annoying. She believed that if it weren't for these two bitches, Wutong would have been hers long ago, and it would be impossible for Sakura Fox to get there first.

The hatred of the husband is irreconcilable!

The only thing that gives Wutong a headache now is how to make Mebius and Dr. Mei live in harmony, communicate and learn from each other.

It would be a waste if two top researchers could not work together.

The room was quiet for a moment, and Dr. Mei pushed up her glasses to break the atmosphere. She said with a serious face: "It's not about the experimental equipment, but a more serious problem.

"The last time you left this world, a wave of Honkai beasts broke out. Although it was quickly wiped out by a passing fusion warrior and no casualties were caused, this is not a good signal for us. with omens.

"We need to prepare a large number of Honkai energy storage devices and Honkai energy converters."

"Who is that fusion warrior?" Wutong always focused on the details.

Su said: "I don't know. According to the onlookers, she was wearing a mask and hood and couldn't see her appearance clearly. After solving the crisis, she left quietly without leaving her name.

"Also, so far, no fusion warrior has come to report this matter to us. Perhaps this is just a trivial matter to her."

The fusion warriors of Fire Chasing Moth are all numbered and managed uniformly, but there are indeed many fusion warriors who always like to dress themselves up in a secretive way in their daily lives.

Wutong sneered and shook his head: "Haha, it's really... you have lived a whole life again, and you haven't let most humans have the stereotype of fusion warriors.

Change? !

"Mei, you failed so much, but it's not your fault. I understand that there are specialties in the art industry, so I will help you again.

"In order to gain strength and fight against Honkai, a kind and responsible young man risked his own life and a great future, and became a fusion warrior regardless of his own safety.

"The fusion warriors have endured too much pain and pressure to protect human civilization, but ignorant humans are afraid of our power and regard us as aliens and demons in hell, haha~

"Who is the devil?

"Our swords are pointed at Honkai, but the people behind us are pointing their own malice at us, imposing suspicion and rumors on us. Aren't we mean to protect such human beings?"

"..."

Su said softly: "This is something that can't be helped. People don't understand..."

Wutong interrupted what Su was about to say: "This is not something that can't be helped, and ignorance is not an excuse for doing evil.

 /p>

"Most people in our world regard Heaven, Destiny and even the World Serpent as the guardians of mankind and their own patron saints. Why is the gap so big?"

"I will bring the Shadow Tomb here next time." Wutong said calmly, "Don't worry, your hands will not be dirty. Their second life was given by me, and I will take it back."

"But...if we do this, a lot of people will die, right?" Velvet rubbed her arms unconsciously.

"If we don't do this, more people will die." Kevin rarely spoke.

"Actually, we can guide it." Su suggested.

Mei said coldly: "People can be guided, but demons will not become good because of guidance, because demons know better than humans that what they do is evil.

“They are just pretending to be confused, they know better than anyone else.

“Moreover, the devil dressed in the garb of justice is the most rampant.

"Su, if you are sick, you must cure it immediately, otherwise benign tumors may turn into cancer."

"..." Su was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Please give me a chance, I can make them do good."

"No, you can't, you can't even persuade Qianjie to become enlightened." Kevin said.

Su retorted: "It will definitely work this time, because I will use the scalpel in my hand to persuade them to do good. If they are still unwilling to repent and are hopeless, I will personally send them to repent before the gods."

Wutong said with a smile: "Your method is not to persuade people to do good, because they just succumbed to your force, and their hearts are still unrepentant.

“Perhaps you want to say that one’s deeds do not reflect one’s heart, but have you ever thought about the fact that they were deserving people with bad deeds before?

"We have sown evil "causes", and we help them get evil "results," and they only deserve evil "results."

"Su, human life is very precious. It takes countless lives to support one living person. And keeping those people alive is a waste of countless other animal and plant lives."

Su opened his mouth, but before he could say anything else, Mei spoke.

"Okay, Su, let's end this topic here. I am different from you. I am a weak girl who needs the personal protection of Shadow Tomb."

"..."

"Yes! Why are we talking about such a heavy topic?" Velvet wondered, "Aren't we talking about... the need to prepare a large number of Honkai energy storage devices and Honkai energy converters? How can we talk about it? Why did you change the subject to somewhere else?!"

Mei glanced at Wutong, and Wutong blinked pretending to be innocent.

"Don't look at me. I can't solve this problem right now. The Honkai energy storage devices in our world are barely enough. It's impossible to transport them to this world."

The current productivity of Eden World is not enough to build Honkai energy storage devices on a large scale.

Velvet said: "But, I heard from Kevin that the Honkai energy storage devices in your world cover almost the entire planet, and even a small village with only a few hundred people will build a Honkai energy power station. It can't be Can you share some?"

Wutong said: "Kevin is right, we can indeed get some idle Honkai energy storage devices.

“However, the far water cannot quench the near thirst, and there is very little left unused. Moreover, the thing is very large and difficult to transport.

“Even if it does come, the quantity is too small and it won’t solve the world’s problems.

"Furthermore, the future of our world may not be enough. After all, the resources of a planet are limited, and it is impossible to create unlimited Honkai energy storage devices, and those devices will still suffer losses.

"And this 'future' may be just a hundred years from now. The time is so short that it is not feasible to transport them back and forth, let alone worth it."

Mei pondered for a while and said: "Then we need to suppress the development of civilization, and we need to optimize and change some of the priorities of development. Wutong, if the God's Key Workshop is moved to your world, will your civilization be able to withstand it? Live?"

Currently, more than 70% of the Honkai energy in the Eden World Bubble is due to the existence of the God's Key Workshop.

Wutong thought for a while and said: "I think it would be better to find a relatively 'stable' place in the Quantum Sea and set up the God's Key Workshop there."

"No, the environment in the Quantum Sea is too harsh. Our current conditions are difficult to support.

Support your idea. "Welwe said, "Moreover, if our technicians wear protective clothing to work all year round, it will not only be inconvenient during work, but will also bring heavy psychological pressure and burden to them. "

Wutong smiled and said: "I have considered all the problems you mentioned, and I will help you.

"There is a huge amount of 'ether' matter in heaven, which was 'salvaged' by the World Snake in the quantum sea over the years. You have to thank Kevin, Su and Adam for this, they have been walking in the quantum sea for thousands of years.

"With these 'ether' substances as support, we can use a broken world bubble as a fulcrum to build a relatively safe area, an area where we can survive without wearing protective clothing.

"In the future, not only the God's Key Workshop, but also many 'workshops' can be set up there."

"Who is Adam?" Mei suddenly asked, feeling that the name sounded familiar to her.

"Kevin, don't you say a few words?" Wutong said with a smile.

"..."

Kevin was silent for a moment and said expressionlessly: "Our son... I'm sorry, Mei, I forgot about him and forgot to bring him."

After Kevin's reminder, Mei also remembered, yes! She seems to have a son!

Dr. Mei felt a little ashamed. As a mother, it was enough that she had never raised a child. How could she forget her son?

The light in the dark can dispel uneasiness, and can also bring people a sense of warmth and comfort. The warm yellow light highlights a quiet and slightly embarrassing night.

After a while, Mei spoke again to break the awkwardness.

"Ahem! Let's move on to the next question."

Dr. Mei took a sip of boiled water and said calmly on the surface: "In this world we live in, we don't know if there will be a new Herrscher born. If no Herrscher comes in the future, what will we have to face? Challenges and difficulties may become more difficult to overcome. We must be prepared for the collapse of human civilization without the arrival of the Herrscher..."

At the end of the night, the moon falls and the stars turn around. I don’t envy the world anymore, and the days in the world seem like years.

The small meeting after the banquet lasted until midnight, and people began to leave Dr. Mei's home one after another at five o'clock.

At this time, there was a little girl sitting in front of Wutong's house. She was wearing thin clothes and a beret on her head. She was holding a paintbrush in her hand and seemed to be drawing the starry sky on the drawing board.

The girl's eyes were exceptionally beautiful, charming and unique. They seemed to be filled with the entire starry sky, and it was as if... her eyes were the stars.

Wutong walked to her side and put a coat on her.

"Thank you, brother." The girl's voice was very sweet, but for some reason, it made people feel distressed.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Wutong asked softly.

Wutong, who had never been a human being, unexpectedly showed a gentle side that looked like a human being.

"I'm waiting for you to come back."

"Go to sleep, I'll take you home."

The girl shook her head and asked cautiously: "Can I live here in the future?"

"Okay, I'll help you clean up a room."

"Thank you, brother."

"No need to be polite to me."

"Thank you..." The girl raised her head, stared at the phoenix tree with eyes as beautiful as stars, and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother, I can see colors in people's bodies, no longer gray and white."

The world in a girl's eyes seems to be different from that of ordinary people.

Wutong glanced at the drawing board. The starry sky on the drawing board was particularly beautiful. It seemed to be in the style of realism, but it didn't seem to be the case.

This painting is no longer distorted and abstract, nor is it full of natural compassion and awareness of suffering. It is completely different from the girl's usual painting style.

"It's very beautiful. I give it 98 points." Wutong said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother."

The girl was very happy. This was the first time Wutong scored such a high score.

It seemed that not only was there a light of hope in the world, but her and her brother's "hearts" were also healed.

But the girl still has some regrets, she wants one hundred points.

She wants to help her brother get those two points.
