Two days later.
The Joyous Monk opened his eyes in the medical cabin and waved his hand to drive away the blue electric arcs surrounding his body. He sat up slowly in the pale green liquid and said while looking at another medical cabin, "I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"The Snow Girl has made a very good barrier. The difference between the inside and outside is small, so it's easier to melt it."
Along with the sound of splashing water, Ceng Ju sat up in the medical cabin and turned off the liquid nitrogen with his awareness. He got up and put on his military uniform before he walked to the window and looked outside.
The Joyous Monk got up and went to the bathing equipment by the wall and took a hot bath.
He should bathe in the high-temperature flame to feel a little pleasure, like how Jing Jiu liked bathing in the lava.
Yet, bathing in the water was the only way to satisfy the spiritual needs, even for the immortals or the Buddhas.
The water droplets slid down from his thin and weak golden body full of scars and disappeared instantly. He took out a monk robe from the Grand Nirvana and put it on before he walked to the window.
Outside the window was the fields on the outskirts of Foggy City, covered by a vast expanse of white snow. He could vaguely see the black specks of the engineering mechas in the distance.
"I don't understand what Your Majesty means." The Joyous Monk said expressionlessly, "When I saw her living in the residential building that day, I was in deep thought. Later on, on the basketball court, I thought she intended to subdue Jing Jiu; but it looks like I'm wrong."
Ceng Ju had seen the basketball court on the light screen, but he didn't see the following scenes. "Did she subdue Jing Jiu?" he asked.
"I saw with my own eyes that she had successfully grasped the All in One Sword and used the Sword Formation of Aoyama to kill those Agents of Darkness. It's simple; it's just a scratch. "
Looking at the residential buildings in the distance, the Joyous Monk gave another conclusion. "Shen Aoyama has lost."
By now Ceng Ju knew how the nine black suns had fallen. He fell silent for a long time.
The Joyous Monk said, "I don't understand. Now that she has subdued the All in One Sword, what is she doing here? Yet, she didn't go to the Sea of Dark Matter. "
Ceng Ju said, "As I said the other day, the Snow Girl might not go to the Sea of Dark Matter."
"I want to know what she experienced here," said Happy Monk with a blank expression. The relevant data has been sorted out. They stayed on this planet for a year and a half, and most of the time, they lived in the residential building you are looking at. They never interacted with anyone except for a female official. "
…
…
The City Hall of Fogshan City was unprecedentedly quiet. There were no primary school students coming to visit, nor were there any city councilors who kept arguing. There were only policemen in light full isolation armor guarding several gates, vigilantly watching the outside.
The temperature on the surface of the planet was still very low, and the cleanup and inspection was not over yet. Most of the humans would still have to live underground for a long time, but the images on the surface would be broadcasted to them in real time, so they should feel much more relaxed.
No one was working or living here. The new heating system had just been activated, and most of the windows and ventilation ducts were broken. The chill outside the city hall seeped into the hall and gradually occupied every room.
Perhaps it was because of the cold or the shock, Eve's face was pale, and her hands holding the hot tea were trembling slightly.
The sound of footsteps could be heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. A soldier in the same light armor came in and placed a pot of hot water and some pastries on the table, asking her politely if she needed anything else.
Eve forced herself to calm down, shook her head, and thanked him.
The soldier left.
Looking at the frozen pastries on the plate, she thought of the pastries she had given to that youth every once in a while in the past year.
The monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter were all dead, and the alarm was lifted. The people in the underground were waiting happily and peacefully for the day when they could return to the surface of the earth. Yet, she was brought back to the surface of the earth and locked up in this room before she could join the celebration.
What exactly was going on? Did it have something to do with Len?
In another room on the other side of the wall, Ceng Ju pulled back his gaze from the wall and said, "She is a regular person."
To put it more precisely, Eve could cultivate, but her Cultivation state was relatively low, the sixth level of the Fire-Observing State, similar to Zong Lizi at the Shixin Institute. However, the Moongazing Planet was a remote and poor place. Her low Cultivation state was enough for her to work in the government department.
As far as the Joyous Monk and the ascendants like Ceng Ju were concerned, she was an extremely ordinary person.
"Of course, it doesn't matter what kind of person she is; what matters is what she knows. Unfortunately, according to the records of the interrogation two days ago, she doesn't know anything."
Ceng Ju put down the hot tea in the cup and said, "I know you are interested in her, but it's meaningless. I'll have someone send her back later."
The Snow Girl and Jing Jiu had lived on this planet for more than a year. All the ascendants wanted to know the details of their lives during this period. In addition to the residential building, the people who had participated in their lives were also important sources of information.
"I'll ask her in person," said the Joyous Monk.
Ceng Ju knew what he meant by asking her in person. "She is a regular person; what if she can't bear it?" he asked with a slightly changed expression.
"She won't." The Joyous Monk came to the next room before Ceng Ju could respond.
Eve was in a daze while holding the cup of hot tea in her hands. She was startled when she suddenly found someone in front of her, spilling some hot tea out.
The Joyous Monk didn't ask any questions. "Look into my eyes," he said directly.
Eve felt that the voice of this young monk seemed to have some kind of magic power. She couldn't help but look into his eyes, and then she was immersed in them.
The eyes of the Joyous Monk were calm and deep, like the well water illuminated by the sunlight.
There were two Cultivation sects in Chaotian that were best at the Mind-Reading Method. They were the Heaven-Human Connection of Shui Yue Nunnery and the Two-Mind Connection of Guocheng Temple.
Taiping Zhenren had been the Chief Monk of Guocheng Temple and could control the minds of the people in the world by the Mind-Reading Method.
The Guocheng Temple was founded by the Joyous Monk himself, so one could imagine how powerful his ability in this aspect was.
Eye contact was not a necessary part of the Two-Mind Connection, but it was a habit of his.
It didn't take long for the Joyous Monk to end the Two-Mind Connection.
Looking at Eve, who was still in a state of confusion and confusion, he said with a bit of surprise and self-mockery, "I didn't expect you to be a good person like me."
Did he mean a person who behaved according to the social norms or a person with a clean soul?
He saw many scenes in Eve's consciousness.
He saw the residential building with the lights on, the birch tree illuminated by the lights, the hobby class in the administrative center, Jing Jiu learning the zither, the little girl named Hua Xi holding the Snow Girl and watching a childish cartoon in the waiting room, and they walked into the subway …
The scenes were not continuous, but the information was enough to draw some conclusions.
The Snow Girl might want to subdue the unparalleled sword Jing Jiu, or she might have some ideas about the little girl named Hua Xi, but she was really hiding herself.
Not hiding the world, but hiding herself.
She didn't want to get in touch with the world because she was afraid.
– The Emperor was actually afraid of that computer.
This fact had a great mental impact on the Joyous Monk. For a moment, he was as bewildered as Eve on the other side of the table.
The door of the room was pushed open, and Ceng Ju walked in. He felt relieved after making sure that Eve's spirit was merely shaken and not damaged. Looking at the Joyous Monk, he found that his spiritual world was also in a state of turmoil. He couldn't help but feel worried.
For many understandable reasons, the human Cultivation practitioners in Chaotian feared the Snow Girl the most, but none of them would hate her. In the most secret part of their spiritual world, they even worshiped the Snow Girl. However, the Joyous Monk's fanaticism toward the Snow Girl was obviously a bit excessive.
The Joyous Monk calmed down a bit. He walked to the window and looked at the vast white ground, remaining silent.
Ceng Ju's Saint Heart suddenly felt uneasy, feeling that something was happening.
Looking at the back of the Joyous Monk, he said, "Release her spiritual soul; otherwise, there will be some sequelae."
The Joyous Monk still didn't speak, nor did he turn around. Silent, he still looked at the snowy scene outside the window.
If Eve remained in this state for a while, her spirit would be damaged, and she might become an idiot after waking up.
It was very quiet in the room, and the atmosphere grew tense.
Eve didn't notice it at all. She looked at the tea spilled on the table, and her thoughts were somewhere else.
It was then that a drop of tea drifted up from the table soundlessly and landed squarely between her eyebrows.
The expression in her eyes grew clearer, but she hadn't woken up yet.
Perhaps, the drop of tea was worried that her sudden awakening would alarm something, so it moved soundlessly and formed a line of words on the table.
"Don't make a sound. Don't move. Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."
Ceng Ju was in the room at the moment. The person who used the tea to write the words couldn't be him, but who could it be?
Looking at the snow outside the window, the Joyous Monk suddenly laughed out.
For some reason, the sudden smile on his handsome face looked rather eerie.
"I'm drifting at the bottom of the ocean in the darkness without an exit; why did I see that bright light?"
"Why are there nine black suns in this world?"
"I was summoned by the Emperor and saved by her. Where are those monsters?"
"They came to kill her because they are afraid of her."
"Why would the unconscious beings feel afraid? It's because the Sea of Dark Matter sensed the danger of being destroyed. "
"Yes, I'm not wrong."
"Since the Emperor doesn't want to go there for the time being, I'll go there."
These words were not poems, but more like the ravings of a madman. The last word "I'll go" was not a dirty word; it was his intention to enter the Sea of Dark Matter again to find a way to subdue those monsters and find the answer to this ultimate problem.
Ceng Ju understood what he meant, and said with a grave expression, "It's meaningless. Even if your speculation is correct and those monsters are afraid of the Snow Girl, and the Snow Girl might become their king, she has no way to prevent the dark energy from spreading in this universe. "
"As I said on the Scorching-Sun Battleship the other day, the Emperor might find a way. If she can't find it … the wheat fields are meaningless. Why don't we just burn them down?"
The Joyous Monk said expressionlessly, "They exist in the smoke like the green smoke."
The Grandmasters of Aoyama wanted to lead the humans to defeat the Sea of Dark Matter. Jing Jiu's basic idea was to lead the humans to a farther place. On the other hand, the Joyous Monk was thinking of how to help the humans survive in the Sea of Dark Matter. As Ceng Ju said, they couldn't find a way to prevent the dark energy from spreading.
However, he didn't make it clear in the conversation with Zhao Layue on the Main Planet, the conversation with Cao Yuan, and the conversation with Ceng Ju on the Scorching-Sun Battleship. Even if the Snow Girl became the king of those monsters and was willing to accept the surrender of the humans, she still couldn't prevent the dark energy from spreading in this universe. How would she settle the humans then?
"What's wrong with the humans living in the form of souls?"
The calm voice of the Joyous Monk echoed in the room, passing through the broken glass and reaching the distance outside the City Hall, as if it would be heard throughout the universe.
