God, remember, provide a comfortable and reliable pop-up novel for book friends to read.
The boy cheered. There was nothing more satisfying than having a meal.
Lanny untied the bag and took out an ordinary bun. It has no special ingredients added, and on the Babylonian floating island, it is a disdainful food for the nobles. But on the surface, it was an incomparably precious food. Because it didn't have any radiation, and it carried a faint fragrance of wheat.
Wheat was as legendary as dragons on the Earth's surface. As far as Lanny knew, only the enclosed agricultural base of the floating island could cultivate such completely pollution-free rice and wheat.
Looking at the child who took the bread from her hand with an almost devout expression, he carefully tore off the bread piece by piece and put it into his mouth, even licking the oil off his fingers carefully. Lanny suddenly felt a burst of sadness. If it weren't for her so-called persistence, would this child be able to live a better life now?
However, everything could not go back.
After the sadness, there was a strong sense of anger. If it weren't for that man, today wouldn't be like this. Thinking of this, Lanny clenched her slender fist tightly.
She took out a dagger from her bosom and put it in a black leather sheath. Lanny gently pulled out the dagger. The dagger was single-edged, and there was a golden pattern on the back of the blade. Its shape was very simple, only at the end of the handle was decorated with a red gem. The gem was carved into the head of a demon, so the dagger had a very appropriate name.
Devil's Praise!
A small room.
A bed made of a few planks of wood and a blanket that was patched up but still relatively clean was all that was left in the room. Getting off the bed, he went straight to the door. It was more like a cabin than a room.
Allen sat on the bed and leaned against the corner of the bed. The electric lights on the roof cast an orange light on the boy's little face. There was a dagger in his hand. He just learned from Lanny that this dagger was called the Devil's Praise. And about his father.
Father was an unfamiliar term to Allen. From birth until now, he only knew his mother, but he didn't know even the slightest bit about his father. Lanny didn't mention anything about it. The only exception was a fight with the kids in town last year. They called Allen a fatherless child. Allen came back and asked Lanny. Lanny didn't give him an answer. She only slapped him a few times.
Later, Allen equated his father with the beating.
But tonight, Lanny was a little abnormal. Thinking back to when she handed the dagger to him, his usually gentle mother's expression suddenly became distorted and she said loudly, "Allen, this dagger was given to me by your father. I'll give it to you now. In the future, use this dagger and stab it into your damned father's chest! Can you do it? "
Allen nodded instinctively, but he didn't know why his mother would show such an expression.
A five-year-old child still couldn't understand this emotion called hate. Many years later, Allen realized that it wasn't just hatred. It also contained a deep and suffocating love.
From love to hate!
He fumbled with the leather sheath of the dagger, which was the best gift he had received. Allen had wanted the knife on Wootz's waist for a long time. Wootz said he would give it to him when he was ten years old. But now, he got a better treasure. Allen swore that he had never seen such a beautiful dagger in town. The leather sheath that flowed with a soft luster under the light, and the demonic gem that refracted light.
If he had to describe it, he could only use a sentence that he had just learned: This is simply too cool!
Allen couldn't help but pull out the dagger. The silver-white blade and the dark golden pattern on it made the little child's breathing stop. Allen could even see his face filled with surprise, excitement, and other expressions in the smooth blade. He licked his lips and gently wiped the dagger with his small hand.
A trace of coldness came from his finger, followed by a slight pain, but the tip of his finger was cut by the blade.
So sharp!
Not only was Allen not afraid, he was also very happy. He quickly put away the dagger and sucked the blood from his fingertip with his mouth, letting the taste of rust melt in his mouth. Then he burrowed into the blanket and let out a low laugh or two. Soon, he fell asleep.
The boy didn't know that the small traces of blood on the blade suddenly began to swim on their own and seep into the blade. As a result, the dagger in the scabbard returned to normal. However, the devil gem on the hilt quietly flashed with a faint rainbow light in the darkness of the quilt.
Three weeks later, the town welcomed its first winter snow. Silver-white snowflakes slowly fell from the sky, like a gift from the heavens to the earth. They whitewashed the ugliness, covered up the sin, and decorated the world into a pure white.
The vitality of the world was constantly recovering.
After breakfast, Allen came out of the house. There was already a thin layer of snow on the ground outside the house, covering the black and yellow road, leaving a dazzling silver path. Allen raised his head and found that this year's winter seemed to be a little different.
As the snowflakes fell, there were some strange fluorescent lights floating in the world. Red, green, blue, purple, colorful lights drifted all over the sky between the snowflakes. This was the most beautiful scene Allen had ever seen. He excitedly moved a high chair out of the house, climbed up, and tried to reach out to grab the fluorescence.
The fluorescence seemed to be intelligent. Despite Allen's small hand grabbing in the air, not a single one fell into the little boy's hand. The boy wasn't depressed at all. Instead, he smiled brightly. Finally, a fluorescent light fell into Allen's hand. It was ice-cold and drilled into the boy's hand. Allen saw a blurry light flash across his palm, forming a loop-like pattern.
The pattern of light flashed.
"Allen! Heavens, what are you doing here? "
His mother's voice suddenly sounded, startling little Allen. The boy hurriedly jumped down, and Lanny angrily picked him up and went into the house, "Didn't Mom say you'd get sick if you stayed in the snow?"
Allen's little face was a little pink from the cold. He exhaled a breath of hot air and said, "Look, I'm fine."
He was so stubborn that Lanny could only roll her eyes at him. Allen pulled his mother to the door and pointed to the sky. "Mom, what are those?"
"Snow."
"No, no, I mean the things in the snow. They have many colors and light! "
Lanny flicked his head with her finger. "Don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing as light."
Allen touched his forehead, looked at his mother curiously, and then looked at the sky outside. The fluorescence was still there, but Lanny and the residents on the streets didn't seem to notice anything unusual about today's winter snow.
At this time, Allen still didn't know what he was seeing.
It was Origin Energy, the energy of the universe's origin. Not one in ten thousand humans could see Origin Energy with the naked eye!
Something was waking up.
It had to be said that the world was often repetitive and monotonous. It was like life in a small town, almost day after day, year after year.
Three days had passed since the first snow.
That night, when Allen was sleeping in a daze, he felt a chill on his forehead. It was as if someone was touching his forehead with an ice-cold finger, and he tried to open his eyes. In the dim room, there was a hazy figure. Allen said in a sleepy voice, "Mom?"
The man said "hmm" and didn't say anything. The slightly cold fingers lightly jumped on the boy's face and body, and the rhythmic movements made Allen fall asleep again as if he was hypnotized.
The next day, the boy had forgotten about last night.
But today, Allen felt an inexplicable nervousness.
At night, this feeling became even stronger. It was so strong that Allen couldn't sleep. A heart? Lian Bi? Chisel Xia Yi Yin Zhi Ying Ying Flatter Craftsman Team 1 Sigh Nai Jun? Gutter? Zhuo Cong Ba Badger Nai? Bump into a roundworm, acyte, Pasonnuo, T Flatter? Moss Wu? Difficult? Clang? Miao Miao brain aluminum put down encephalopathy, cormorant thumb frog I measure the tip of the key blow worry razor clam Xia cut the dark to accept the hinge stop? Young side of the aluminum love neon baked Ying? Acting? Hu Jinhuan? Love affair? Eh? Xiao Du Ao? Eh?
The boy was startled and stood up from the bed in a daze. Then came the rough sound of gunfire and the angry voice of a man outside the window. There were also one or two screams of a woman or a child.
Lanny almost crashed into the room. She quickly climbed into bed and closed the small window beside Allen's bed.
"What's the matter, Mom?"
The mother hugged her child tightly and forced a smile. "I don't know. Maybe a dangerous species broke into the town. It's okay, Wootz and the others will handle it. "
Just as he finished speaking, a few more explosions rang out from outside, and the sound waves seemed to be much louder than the previous one.
It was not that the dangerous species had never broken into the town before, but in the past, the battle would end quickly, and the sound would be far outside the town. Words. But tonight, the explosions and gunshots seemed to have spread into the town and were advancing towards the center!
That's not a dangerous species! A cold voice said in the boy's heart.
Dong Dong Dong — —
The sound of knocking rang out like a shower. The frequency of the knocking seemed to be about to knock down the thin iron door.
"Stay here and don't come out, darling."
Lanny jumped out of bed and patted Allen's head. She turned around and got out of the room. She opened the door and saw Wootz outside. Wootz's entire body was covered in blood. He didn't know if it was his own or something else. Lanny only saw a long and narrow wound on his face. The wound was so long and deep that bones could be seen!
"Oh my God, you're hurt. Come in, I'll take care of it for you. "Lanny said subconsciously.
But his hand was caught by Wootz. The cowboy shook his head and said, "There's no time. Listen, Lanny, I want you to take Allen away from here. "
"This …" Lanny looked out of the house. The town was filled with flames. "Is it a dangerous species? They … "
"No, Lanny. This time, it's not a dangerous species, it's a predator! " "All the men in the town are blocking the entrance, but we won't be able to hold on for long. You have to take advantage of this time to leave. Leave this place and go to Gaur City or somewhere else. "
He took off two more things from his body. "This is a pistol. You know how to use it, right? And this is a grenade. Pull out the safety bolt and throw it out. Blow up everything that has ill intentions towards you, okay? "
Putting them in Lanny's hands, Wootz suddenly smiled. His smile was as brilliant as when they first met five years ago. On this night of blood and fire, it was as if sunlight was sprinkling down on the ground. "I love you, Lanny."
Lanny's entire body trembled before she gritted her teeth and said, "I know."
