Doomsday Wonderland

An hour ago, Lin Sanjiu had just escaped a fierce attack.

When that silent but extremely fierce and swift wind rushed out of nowhere, she was blocked by "Pear" on the stairs leading to the top floor, and she still had no idea of ​​the other party's identity.

Li Tao's body didn't move at all. She put one hand on the handrail of the stairs and smiled as she watched the sudden fierce wind hit Lin Sanjiu violently.

Limited by the internal area of ​​the black tower, the stairs are very narrow, with only a space wide enough for one person? - A ball of wind enveloped the attack in the blink of an eye, and Lin Sanjiu suddenly fell into a panic: she had already retreated several steps in a row. , but in such a long and narrow space, she still couldn't escape the black shadow that was heading straight towards her.

She gritted her teeth, held the armrest with one hand, and lifted her body into the air. The attacker almost grazed the tip of her nose and stopped at a corner not far away.

At this time, Lin Sanjiu was hanging on the stairs. As long as she lowered her head, she could see the bottomless black abyss beneath her feet.

At this height, no human being is not afraid of heights; Lin Sanjiu did not dare to look down at all, but hurriedly climbed up while the man stopped, and jumped back into the stairs and walkway - at this time , she finally saw the general appearance of the attacker.

It was a figure nearly two meters tall, with a pointed head that looked very small in contrast to the thick and long neck. There are things similar to human shoulders, but there are two long arms under the shoulders and on both sides of the body——

"Degenerate, fallen species...?" Lin Sanjiu said in a loss of voice.

When she saw something that looked human but was absolutely inhuman, the first thing that came to her mind was the fallen species.

"No." At the other end of the stairs, "Li Tao" who had never moved said softly. "Things like degenerate species are disgusting."

Because of the incident just now, Lin Sanjiu had that strange creature on his left and Pitao on his right, which meant that he was surrounded by enemies from both sides. She moved slowly, pressed her back against the wall, took a breath, and asked carefully: "...What is that?"

"Saint Peter, come here."

As Li Tao's smiling voice sounded, the tall figure seemed to have heard the irresistible call, turned around and walked slowly up the stairs - a black shadow instantly enveloped Lin Sanjiu, without any smell. The strong wind swept over her body, and she couldn't help but feel tense all over.

However, it didn't even lower its head. It just walked to stand behind Li Tao like an obedient puppy.

"It's too dark in here. Don't you want to go to the top?" Her voice sounded very clear in the dimness: "You come up with me, and I will explain everything to you."

Lin Sanjiu sneered: "...Do you think I'm a fool? You miss the target and want to attack in another way?"

Li Tao shook her head and said in a tone as if she was coaxing an ignorant child: "You are so true. I appreciate you so much for nothing. If I want to attack you, why do I need to wait for you to go up? There is no need for a saint. Peter... what just happened was just a test. If you die, of course everything will be forgotten."

Although there was no basis, Lin Sanjiu could still feel that every word she said was true. She hesitated for two seconds and finally walked up the steps.

The winding staircase finally comes to an end.

As if there was a bright light in the dark, Lin Sanjiu was caught off guard when he walked out of the narrow and dark stairway and found that he was in an empty hall - the starry night shimmering in from the outside was like a silver brushstroke, giving everything a bright light. I traced the edges lightly.

...The top floor of the Black Tower is surprisingly large.

The top floor is composed of several large and small square spaces, perhaps because the walls are thinned, forming a spacious and well-proportioned hall. When you walk up the stairs, the first thing you see is a transparent glass curtain wall.

Through the glass wall, you can have a panoramic view of the Garden of Eden sleeping at night.

Lin Sanjiu glanced quickly and immediately frowned slightly.

The Garden of Eden seemed a little too peaceful... Neat rows of street lights seemed to be floating in the night sky, and together with the lights of a few households that were still on, they were dotted with a deep blue. The expected chaos, fire, and even some explosions were nowhere to be found.

...Are they moving a little too slowly?

But Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to think too much - after all, there were two people with unknown enemies and ulterior motives around her - she quickly scanned the hall, found a corner and stood still, smiling at Li Tao and Li Tao. He smiled: "...I thought there should be an energy center here."

"No -" Li Tao also smiled and said in a friendly tone: "Who told you? That's nonsense. This radiation shield does not use energy at all."

While the two were talking, she strolled up to the glass curtain wall, snapped her fingers, and "Saint Peter" immediately walked around the corner of the hall. After a while, he came out with a cup of hot tea.

… She almost acted like she was home.

"Why do you know this place so well?" Lin Sanjiu glanced towards the stairs as he spoke. It was empty and undefended. "who are you?"

The more pressing question that stuck in her mind was whether it was possible and how to destroy the radiation shield.

Li Tao glanced at her in the skylight reflected outside the window. For a moment, Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was being looked at from the inside out——

When her whole body felt cold, Li Tao smiled tolerantly, turned her eyes away, and stared motionlessly at the Garden of Eden at her feet.

"If you really want to say it," she tapped the glass with her white fingers, and there seemed to be some sarcasm hidden in her words. "Eden should call me 'Mother'."

Lin Sanjiu almost lost her balance.

She felt her blood rushing through the veins in her ears, and for a long while she still couldn't understand what the other person meant.

"I am ninety-four years old this year."

In front of the glass curtain wall, the slender female silhouette spoke slowly. For some reason, her next words sounded a little confused.

"The Garden of Eden was built by me fifty-nine years ago."

"For some evolved people, maintaining their appearance, extending their lives, and even becoming immortal are not uncommon things. You don't have to look at me like this."

Lin Sanjiu just closed her mouth - she couldn't digest the news for a moment, and countless questions were rolling in her heart, but she couldn't spit out any of them. After a while, she said in a daze: "You said, you built ...to this place?”

"Yes." This question seemed to bring Li Tao's thoughts back to a long time ago. She sighed softly and cast her eyes towards the dark blue sky.

"The global war at that time had lasted for more than two years, and the situation was getting worse. On this planet, only a few countries could still stand outside the flames of war. Fortunately, the scientific research institute where I worked at the time was like this In a neutral country.”

"...Since everyone has nuclear bombs, no one dares to use them indiscriminately, so no matter how fierce the war is, it will still be chronic. Until one day, a big country suddenly develops a technology to restrain nuclear bombs."

Lin Sanjiu felt that she would not be surprised if she heard anything now.

"The principle of this technology is to reversely compress nuclear energy... In short, this technology was still very unstable at the time and was still a long way from being perfected. But during the war, no government would let such a technology go. The trump card was not used, and anti-nuclear technology was quickly deployed on the battlefield."

"Even if I don't tell you, you can probably imagine the chaos that will follow. After wreaking havoc on that big country for nearly a year, this unstable technology has caused very serious nuclear pollution, and even those who are far away from the war have In neutral countries, diseased and dead birds, beasts, and rats can be seen everywhere... However, what is even worse is that other warring countries have also obtained this technology through unknown means."

"...So you built the Garden of Eden to protect mankind?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but interrupt and asked. "But how could you possibly--"

"Building the Garden of Eden is not as difficult as you think." Li Tao tilted her head slightly, "I used some resources and openly proposed the initiative in Congress - in that case, it was naturally passed quickly. It's I am responsible for all the artwork, design, and material selection.”

"So, the Garden of Eden was indeed built by me, but -" She paused, looked at Lin Sanjiu, and a smile appeared on her lips. "I didn't build it to protect humans."

Lin Sanjiu swallowed her dry throat and felt a row of hairs standing up on her back.

"I had already evolved at that time. It doesn't hurt to tell you about the first ability - its name is [Perfect Plans Occasionally Exist]."

"Having heard this name, you have a general understanding of its function, right? According to the arrangement of my ability, the 'Garden of Eden' was completed on the same day that the world was officially destroyed."

Lin Sanjiu looked at her blankly.

St. Peter on the side saw that the tea cup was empty. He filled Li Taoxin with water with his hand under his ribs and handed it to her.

"Only I know how to enter the Garden of Eden." Li Tao's eyes became more and more crooked, and the corners of her mouth turned up high. Not only did this smile not have the slightest hint of smile, it actually made people's scalp explode. "You know what? Everyone who's still alive is trying desperately to get in."

"...Then what?" Lin Sanjiu suppressed the chills in her heart and unconsciously looked away from her smiling face.

"...Have you ever heard of such an experiment? A female performance artist sat motionless in the exhibition hall with various things around her - she promised that people could do anything to her, and she would absolutely I won't resist." Li Tao suddenly changed the subject for some reason, which shocked her. "You would think that in broad daylight, in an upscale art gallery, people wouldn't do anything bad, right?"

"...Indeed, some people kissed her, and some put garlands on her. But some also tore off her clothes, stabbed her in the head with thorns, and some even pointed a gun at her head - yes, the gun was in There are bullets. All the viewers are strangers to this female artist... The last subtle thing is that the crowd is divided into 'good' and 'bad', two extreme and distinct groups."

"Are you wondering why I'm talking about this?"

"Because it was these two groups of equal numbers, absolute black and white, that finally entered the Garden of Eden."

Lin Sanjiu glanced blankly at the city below.

The air fell into stagnation, UU Reading www. There was no movement from uukanshu.net for a long time. Several minutes passed before she asked softly in a hoarse voice: "...Where's Bai?"

Where did the "good" group of people go?

Fifty-nine years later, the city is now as dark as the night at this time.

Li Tao nodded approvingly: "...In the process of self-growth in the Garden of Eden, Bai was eaten. After the good part disappeared, women became a group of people who were bullied and oppressed due to various innate disadvantages."

"This process, as well as the observed phenomena so far, are similar to the results I deduced in advance." After finishing "educating" Lin Sanjiu, Li Tao returned to a calm and calm tone. "Every few years, I change my appearance and sneak in to observe the people here up close. Besides, some artificial stimulation factors must be put on the ground. But I met you this year. It's really interesting."

"Wait a minute, that means-" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened.

"The Garden of Eden is my laboratory." Li Tao smiled softly. r1152
