Even if the secret hidden here was discovered, the high priest could still keep his composure … At this time, he held his hands under the scale and tried his best, but he couldn't lift the scale.
It seemed to have taken root in the ground … The high priest quickly gave up this futile attempt.
He patted the dust on his hands, stood up with his hands on his knees, and faced the young guard in front of him, "I seem to have encountered something beyond my understanding. It seems that this time Otto's clone outside not only brought Claudia, but also brought some unexpected things … What are you? The Genie with mysterious power? "
The young guard … Boss Luo curiously said, "It seems that Your Excellency High Priest really knows a lot of things from Mr. Otto … However, I don't seem to see Mr. Otto here."
He was referring to the fact that Otto didn't exist in these containers.
The high priest said, "It's a pity that Otto's original body is difficult to capture, even if he has fallen into Sun City. But it doesn't matter, there is a backup of Otto in the scale anyway. "
"Let's talk in detail, I have a few questions." Boss Luo smiled, then waved his hand, and a stool appeared behind the high priest out of thin air.
The high priest's body uncontrollably sat on the stool that appeared behind him, then the stool moved forward and sent him directly in front of Luoqiu.
Round table, another chair … The boss slowly sat down, and a teapot and cups began to appear on the table.
Luoqiu poured tea into the teacup and said casually, "If you don't want to talk, you can stop at any time, but if you want to continue the conversation, you can ask Your Excellency High Priest to put down the remote control under your sleeve first … Even if this is completely blown up, I probably won't be hurt."
The high priest stared at the young guard in front of him. In the end, without saying a word, he took out a remote control hidden in his sleeve and placed it on the table … He frowned and said, "You want the Libra, you want the material here … You can easily take it from me, why are you still discussing it with me?"
"Based on a rule." Boss Luo smiled and said, "And, rules are rules. I never had the intention of robbing other people's things. You were the one who discovered the Libra, and these people in the container were also collected by you over the years. It can be considered as the success of your labor. It's yours. "
The High Priest couldn't help but frown … He could vaguely feel that this fellow didn't have a universal view of right and wrong, and did as he pleased.
"What do you want to know?" The high priest remained silent for a moment. He knew that in the face of an incomprehensible power, he could only compromise. Moreover, Tian Cheng's power seemed to be suppressed by the other party.
"For example, how did the High Priestess get the [Scales of Good and Evil]?" Boss Luo asked after some thought.
The high priest suddenly glanced at Yamanlana's position. He was surprised to find that the light from the scale did not disappear. It was still trapping Yamanlana like a shelf. The wound on her abdomen was still there, but the blood had stopped flowing … It was as if time had stopped for her.
The high priest could clearly see a drop of blood floating above the ground …
"Nothing special." The high priest said indifferently at this time, "I'm just a very ordinary person who escaped from the war. I fled to wherever I could survive. I didn't know where I was, so I walked when there was a road. As I walked, I encountered the temple in the oasis, and then I got this Libra. What do you think? Are you disappointed? "
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Let's say, this is more realistic … If this is not an arrangement, but an accidental encounter, don't you think this is a very interesting variable?"
"Do you believe in fate?" The high priest asked curiously.
This question was abrupt, and it was not helpful to his current situation, but he just wanted to ask.
"I can't say that I believe in it." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "But I won't deny it … If I deny it again, it will be unhappy."
"You really dare to say that …" The high priest couldn't help but sneer, as if he saw a lunatic … But he didn't know why, at this moment, his heart was beating wildly, as if there was a voice in his head warning him that this was not a joke, this was real — there was really someone who could control fate according to his own will.
But.
Control fate?
Who could control fate … Even those who boasted that they had their own fate in their hands could not predict what would happen tomorrow — it was very likely that they would encounter an accident tomorrow and die.
"Just take it as a joke." Boss Luo smiled and said, "Just to liven up the atmosphere … After all, if I look more mysterious, in the next conversation, I can take advantage of more … I have been learning to do business recently, so I will more or less use some small tricks, I hope the high priest doesn't mind."
"This is not the words of a qualified businessman." The high priest shook his head.
"Probably." Luoqiu did not comment. "… When you found the Libra, did Sun City already exist?"
The High Priest nodded, then shook his head. He suddenly had a feeling of absurdity. He was clearly in control of everything, so why did things suddenly take a turn for the worse, and why did something that he could not understand appear … This was like a joke, a joke played by fate.
Perhaps all living things were just toys in the hands of fate.
"When I found Sun City, it was just a dead city." The high priest recalled and said, "The Libra has the ability to weigh a person's good and evil, and divide good and evil."
"The residents in the city are all divided by this ability?" Luoqiu thought for a while and said, "The soul is divided, and the souls after the division are reborn, just like the tail of a gecko … No wonder it can duplicate two complete people who are exactly the same."
As he said, Boss Luo shook his head, "Yamanlana told me that the people in the pool are divided and belong to the ugly side. They exist as batteries to provide energy for Sun City. Now it seems that the high priest did not tell Yamanlana the truth."
"Oh?" The high priest narrowed his eyes.
Boss Luo said casually, "If it is like what Yamanlana said, naturally there is no way to explain the people in these containers … After all, as far as I can see, Yamanlana … Claudia, there are already three of them now."
The one who was sleeping in the container, the one who was stabbed in the abdomen by the high priest, and the one who was commanding the people in the palace to resist the giant beast.
"You … you know Claudia?" The high priest suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"We are classmates." The boss said frankly, "Recently, due to personal reasons, I enrolled in Claudia's school … So, I know some things about the high priest, about you, Professor Xie Jiatu. By the way, the reason why I came to the desert is also because of Claudia's request. She wants to find clues about Professor Xie Jiatu's disappearance from here. "
The high priest was silent.
Boss Luo waited patiently.
The High Priestess let out a sigh of relief. "I never thought that she would come here … It seems that I did something unexpected in the outside world."
"Hmm …" Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "It seems that the souls divided by the Libra also have some flaws."
The high priest said calmly, "After all, they are divided into the good side and the evil side. Their personalities and behaviors are more or less different."
"Then what about the high priest?" Boss Luo asked curiously, "Which one are you?"
"I am Xie Jiatu."
Boss Luo nodded, "If they leave the temple for too long, outside … the people who are divided from the outside will turn into sand?"
"They can't maintain it for long." The high priest said helplessly, "Their bodies are created from the sand of the desert here. The implanted souls give them the ability to move. But leaving the temple … actually, if they leave the Libra for too long, their souls won't be able to replenish their power. Their souls will disappear and their bodies will naturally turn into sand. "
"What a pity." Boss Luo suddenly shook his head.
The high priest frowned and said, "What's a pity?"
Boss Luo said, "It seems that the souls divided by the Libra are only one-time consumables. No matter how good the quality is, they can't be stored for a long time … This kind of soul doesn't even have value. However, the ability of the Libra itself is already a priceless treasure. "
The high priest said in a deep voice, "The transformation of matter has to follow the law of equivalence."
"Those giant beasts in the desert …" Luoqiu shook his head and said, "It's actually the ugly side of these people. The folk customs in the city of the Sun are relatively simple. Although there are some residents who have developed bad habits, I don't think their nature is bad. They are kind … But even if they are kind, there is no guarantee that they won't be infected with bad habits. Of course, if someone controls the spread of desire behind the scenes, it will spread very quickly … Just like the snakes in Eden. "
"Pure humans are more susceptible to temptation." The high priest smiled faintly. "This is an interesting experiment. As for the giant beasts in the desert, their origin is indeed the ugly side of the division. I started two experiments at the same time in Sun City, teaching the good people desire and trying to make the ugly people learn to be grateful. But it was a pity that those with an ugly side would never learn to be grateful. They would even fall into insanity due to the injection of beauty, eventually mutating into giant beasts that only knew how to break … And when kind people were infected with desire, they would also become giant beasts. Different types, different methods, but the same results are obtained. "
Boss Luo asked curiously, "What is the conclusion of the high priest?"
The high priest said expressionlessly, "Humans go crazy because of kindness and self-destruct because of desire … Humans, from birth, walk on a path of self-destruction. War, invasion, fighting for love, fighting for family, fighting for the country, competitiveness, dissatisfaction, never-ending pace … In the end, only sadness is left. "
Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "Under modern civilization, there have been many happy individuals, and these individuals are small families."
"But the invasion is still there, it's just that the mode has changed." The high priest mocked, "The process of civilization is still barbaric. There are many people who want to redeem it, but there are more humans who don't want to redeem it … Since Eve plucked the apple in Eden, there is only one fate for humans."
"The fate of humans …"
Boss Luo thought of Arraia, but he didn't intend to refute the high priest's words. Under the entire Arraia system, there was indeed only one fate for countless sub-worlds … Unless, one of these sub-worlds could transform into a perfect world.
Sub-World No. 003 where he was at was originally on the path of destruction, but because of him, it was forcefully delayed for a few decades.
"You can't refute it, right?" The high priest's eyes lit up slightly. "Because everything I said is happening every day. The world outside is showing a tragedy that makes people helpless all the time … Believe me."
Boss Luo glanced at the high priest and sighed. "Your Excellency, I don't mean to refute your point of view. I just want to understand your point of view … So, don't do anything unnecessary to me. If you try to disturb me again …"
The high priest's face suddenly turned pale.
His heart was in severe pain, cold sweat dripped down, and his brain felt like it was going to explode at any time. He felt unprecedented weakness, panic, and fear … The claws of death seemed to have firmly grasped his heart.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment … In a moment, he felt like he was going to collapse.
"Do you feel better?"
The high priest nodded with a pale face. There was a hint of respect in his bitter smile. "An existence like you has probably never felt the control of fate."
"Maybe …" Boss Luo shook his head and said, "My appearance here today is also a kind of fate's arrangement. However, the fate that you can see, know, and believe in is somewhat different from the fate that I can understand. "
"How enviable …" The high priest sighed heavily. "Just like the black slaves living in Africa, they can never believe in the luxury of the European nobles … What kind of existence are you? God, demon … Or a new creature that has surpassed the evolution of human beings? "
"Me?" Boss Luo smiled and said, "I am me, I only have one identity … Just like you, high priest, you only have one identity."
He was silent for a long time before he said seriously, "I need to create the perfect [Weapon], awaken the remnant soul in the Libra, and completely control the power of the Libra. This is the only way to separate good and evil from the world … The way to make Eden beautiful forever is to make Eve never pluck that apple. But first, I need to make Eden appear! "
