Regardless of Bohemia's wishes, she was eventually dragged out of the room by Lin Sanjiu. She asked Silas for a cap and put it on. She even pulled the brim of the cap down low before she sat down with Lin Sanjiu and Silvan in the dining room.
"That's what I was thinking."
When Silas served them the dishes one by one, Lin Sanjiu said as she toyed with the wine glass in her hand. She guessed that Silvan and Bohemia's eating habits were similar to the Westerners in her homeworld, so they also prepared some Western food. She paused for a moment and thought it over in her mind before she went straight to the point. "I hope we can form an alliance."
"Oh?" Silvan only uttered one word, but it sounded like he was encouraging her to continue.
"I'm really tired."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly sighed softly and swirled the wine glass in her hand. The golden-red glow of the wine glowed brightly. A single glance at it could make people forget their worries. No wonder Qing Jiuliu was so fascinated by the wine.
"After wandering in the apocalyptic world for so long, I think I've had enough. I stopped keeping track of the days a long time ago. To be honest, I can't even remember how many years have passed since I left my homeworld. "
Perhaps the opening speech was too heavy, neither of them touched their utensils.
"Over the years, I kept meeting my friends, but I kept getting separated from them. Everyone is like scattered sand. We just go wherever the wind blows. In order not to end up in a place where we can't return, the most important thing is to find a visa so that we can live a little easier in the next 14 months. "
The posthumans of the Twelve Worlds Centrum seemed to have a deep understanding of this. "Hmm," Bohemia replied in a nasally voice, "I haven't found my next world yet. Recently, the number of visas in the Twelve Worlds Centrum has been decreasing, and the prices are ridiculously high. "
Lin Sanjiu was right not to let her leave alone. Lin Sanjiu glanced at her and pushed a lock of her long hair that almost fell onto her plate to the back of her shoulder.
Bohemia was stunned.
"I happen to know a little about the situation." Silvan took a sip of wine, leaving a moist red stain on his lips. He looked at Lin Sanjiu and licked his pearly white teeth. He smiled, "You go first. I can wait."
Lin Sanjiu nodded and paused for a moment.
"I don't know about you, but I've had enough of this kind of life."
She unknowingly finished the wine. She looked at the wine glass and said softly, "As a human in exile, when I meet another human, my first reaction is always vigilance, vigilance, and suspicion. My close and reliable companions were scattered by an irresistible force. No matter how many times I fought, how much blood I was stained with, in the end, I was still alone in the endless dark forest, full of fear, stumbling forward. "
Lin Sanjiu was always surrounded by all kinds of life-threatening situations, so she had never had the chance to think about these things. However, now that she had the chance to relax, these thoughts flowed out of her mind. She didn't even know where they came from. It was as if she had practiced these words many times in her head.
"I know I look calm … but I'm actually very, very angry. I want to end this situation. I want to break it. I want to fight against it. I want to get rid of this colossus that has turned us into an island. "
Her fingers slowly closed around the wine glass.
"I didn't see any hope in the past, but it's different now."
In the silence, Silvan suddenly said softly, "The Deluge."
"Yes."
"What do you mean by the Deluge?" Bohemia asked cautiously. "In the Bible, the Deluge swept the whole world … But this Deluge can't possibly destroy every planet, right? There can't be a flood in the universe. "
"To be honest, I'm not sure myself." Lin Sanjiu shook her head. Her mind wandered on Nuwa for a few seconds. If she could meet Yu Yuan again, she might be able to find more clues … "I was shocked by the news at first, especially when I saw the pocket dimension had its own consciousness and was preparing for the Deluge. I didn't know what to do."
She took a deep breath and poured herself another glass of wine. The scorching hot alcohol slid down her throat and into her body. As soon as it touched the ground, it spread its warmth and soothed every inch of her tense nerves.
"Don't laugh at me. I just have a vague idea … I vaguely feel that the Deluge might be the best opportunity. Everything in the world can't be built without destruction. "She smiled bitterly." I want to use this opportunity so that I and the people around me won't have to suffer like this anymore. "
"The Deluge may not be water in the real sense — or rather, it may not be anything substantial."
Silvan frowned and thought for a while before he said softly. Apparently, he had not slept for a long time. Even though his mind was still unaffected, his voice was so hoarse that it sounded like a cloud of smoke.
"Then, what is it?" Bohemia used the brim of her hat to block her vision. She spoke more fluently, "You have an idea?"
"From the few things you told me, I found one … let's call it a common point."
His voice was hoarse and gentle, as if it was lingering in one's ears like a cloud of smoke. Listening to it for a while longer, one would lose their mind. Bohemia listened to him for a while longer, then immediately raised her glass and gulped down the wine in her glass.
"What common point?"
"Whether it's the teleportation time being out of order, the visa being sent to the wrong place, or the pocket dimension breaking free from its restraints and massacring humans …" Silvan paused and leaned back in his chair. His Adam's apple moved slightly. "Everything is essentially a failure of the laws."
"That's true …" Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"If the Deluge is a real natural disaster, it shouldn't affect the laws." Silvan tilted his head and thought for a while. A lock of blonde hair slid down his cheek. "For example, if it really is a flood that destroys everything like in the Bible, it can only destroy things that can be seen and touched, but it can't explain why these laws don't work anymore — do you understand what I mean?"
"I get it." Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought for a while. She unconsciously picked up a small tomato with her fork and fiddled with it. "Then, what do you think it is?"
Silvan looked at her fork and suddenly smiled. He reached out and plucked the small tomato from her fork. There were a few tomatoes on his plate as well, but he just put them between his lips. When his white teeth bit on the bright red tomato, the sound of juice breaking was so loud that Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but shudder.
"Why is this man so … so …"
Lin Sanjiu stared at him for a few seconds. She didn't know what to say until Bohemia suddenly picked up a small tomato from Silvan's plate and put it on Lin Sanjiu's plate. Then, Bohemia pressed on the brim of her hat and urged, "Hurry up and tell me. Don't just eat human food!"
She was probably the last person who had the right to say that.
Silvan let out a sigh as if he couldn't help but laugh. "I think the Deluge is referring to the collapse of the laws."
He raised his head and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what kind of person is Nvywa?"
When Lin Sanjiu was explaining the situation to Nvywa, she briefly mentioned a few things about Nvywa. Now that Nvywa asked her about it, Lin Sanjiu told her how she met Nvywa and the events that happened during that time. It was as if she had relived her own past. Even though many years had passed, she didn't expect that her memory of Nvywa would still be so vivid. The clearest and most vivid impression she had of Nvywa was the absolute confidence she had when she stood at the top of the world.
"The existence of humans is evil." To Nvywa, this was an oracle, a belief, a mission, an unshakable truth in the universe.
"What? Isn't she anti-human?" After Lin Sanjiu said that, Bohemia grumbled and clumsily tried to cut open the beef Wellington on her plate. No matter how Lin Sanjiu looked at her, she didn't look like someone who was familiar with western cuisine. "She might be the cause of the Deluge … How are we supposed to eat this stupid thing?"
"It's not impossible," Lin Sanjiu cut open the beef for Bohemia, "but it's hard for me to imagine that she could have such … such an incomprehensible power."
Silvan lowered his head. His forehead, brow ridge, and nose bridge formed a series of ups and downs. The light and shadow perfectly flattered every line of his face. After his thick golden eyelashes quivered slightly, he raised his eyes, "If Nvywa is such a person, then I'm more confident about my conjecture."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's start from the end of the world," Silvan took a sip of wine. Silvan took a sip of wine. "Although when I was born, the world I came from was already a barren wasteland... but I know what the apocalypse of a normal world looks like. Almost every apocalyptic world is dominated by a mature and fully functioning human society. However, due to various reasons, they all ushered in the destruction of human society at some point in time, am I right? "
"Yes … But what does this mean?"
"Think about it. Even though we still don't know what kind of power caused the 14 months of teleportation and the awakening and evolution of the ability … it's not hard to see that it protected the human race and passed down the seeds of the continuation of the race."
The light fell on the wine glass and reflected a crystal-like luster in his pair of frighteningly green eyes.
"But don't get me wrong," Silvan suddenly laughed. His attitude was more casual than usual. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, "The cause of this phenomenon might just be some random reason during the initial collapse process. It's not because of the protection of the human race."
"Initial collapse?"
"Yes," Silvan lowered his voice slightly. "Have you ever seen an avalanche? Ten thousand tons of snow piled on top of a thousand-foot snow cliff. Usually, it doesn't fall in one go. I didn't expect the apocalypse to happen the same way … We were lucky enough to escape the first collapse of the physical world and form a new, adaptive order. "
He paused. The restaurant was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
"Now, it's the order's turn to collapse."
