Chapter 24 Withering and glory, the fate of sin

Lan Kai gradually calmed down. As the helmsman of a large company, without strong will, he would not have been given the task to go all the way to this day when the previous generation of helmsmen died suddenly. ?

"Xinyue, will you marry me?"

"I won't accept your proposal like this."

Xinyue still hugged Lan Kai and gently rubbed his skin with her fingers, "Whether it is the venue or the atmosphere, it seems that you have no sincerity at all."

"That's right." Lan Kai laughed at himself, "I'm fine."

Only then did Xinyue let go of him... because of trust, she let go of Lan Kai, then walked behind Lan Xiu, reached out to help him up when he fell to the ground, and looked like he was struggling.

Lan Kai looked at it and said subconsciously: "This guy has no consciousness at all. What does he care about?"

Xinyue finally put Lan Xiu's hand on her shoulder, supported the two of them vigorously, looked up at Lan Kai and said: "Even if you are just a stranger, you can't ignore death, right? I I grew up with you, don't you and Lan Xiu?"

"You always do unnecessary things." Lan Kai frowned, walked to Xinyue and helped her. The two of them worked together to help Lan Xiu back to bed.

He didn't know if he felt sorry for Xinyue more, or as she said, even strangers can't just die without saving her. What's more, Lan Xiu...

Lan Kai said sadly: "Go back to the hospital. I should be by Xiaorou's side at this time."

"I'll accompany you."

Suddenly, Qianxiu missed the trumpet mage who could persist in fishing in this place.

Maybe it's human nature. When you're alone, you always long for sounds around you.

It doesn't necessarily need to be a voice speaking to yourself, and the focus doesn't necessarily need to be on yourself. What is needed may just be another person talking to himself, or a conversation between two other people.

"Golden Carp King, is there really such a thing?"

It is probably an instinctive mechanism of self-protection after the pain reaches extreme, and the brain circuit automatically switches to some insignificant issues to achieve the effect of diverting attention.

The body easily obeys the brain's thoughts at this time and moves according to the brain's instructions to achieve the effect of escaping again.

He opened his hazy eyes forcefully. When the alcohol in his body accumulated to an extremely high level, it seemed that his thinking speed had been slowed down infinitely.

Qianxiu squatted on the edge of the small bridge, looking at the lake below, and finally sank into the lake.

The cold lake water instantly covered up the bright starlight of the Emerald Fantasy Night. The coolness first poured in between the nose, sealing off all possibilities of breathing.

His body was so hot that he couldn't seem to feel the real coldness of the lake. Instead, it seemed cool, as if a passage between the hot and the cold had been opened for him.

He seemed to have forgotten his death number, and his frozen thoughts prevented him from remembering anything. In this state of weightlessness, Qianxiu felt extremely relaxed in body and mind.

If that's the case, can you just erase all traces of yourself?

That's it...

If, that's it.

The bells in Zhongguancheng suddenly rang.

On the top floor of the tower, the messy auditorium had been restored to its original appearance a long time ago. The pastor stationed here was supporting his chin with his hand and dozing off on the podium at the front of the auditorium.

But the ten bells still woke him up.

The pastor seemed to be startled. He opened his old eyes and glanced at the night outside. Then he glanced at the man who had left the auditorium. He was sitting on a bench below with his hands fit. , a woman who is praying to the statue behind the pastor.

The bell rang again and again, and when it reached ten, it stopped. As she was praying, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the pastor.

She seemed unsure, so she asked, "Pastor, what time is it?"

"It's already ten o'clock, Miss Qianyu Xianrou."

"Isn't it only nine o'clock?" She stood up, walked directly to the podium, and raised her head, "I only heard the bell ringing nine times!"

"It is indeed ten o'clock." The pastor said with certainty: "In addition, Miss Qianyu Xianrou, regarding the damage you caused to the auditorium before, I hope you can provide relative compensation after the reserved time is over."

"It's just an NPC designed by someone! If it weren't for the fact that we can't do anything here, believe it or not, I would kill you!"

The priest closed his eyes and said, "If you attack a clergyman, you will be punished accordingly. Miss Qianyu Xianrou, you have to think carefully."

Seeing the pastor's indifferent attitude, her tense anger suddenly dropped a lot.

Then she turned her back to the pastor, sat down against the podium, hugged her knees, and suddenly asked: "Do you really believe in God, Pastor?"

The priest said: "Science cannot prove that a certain object does not exist."

Xiaorou was stunned and said: "You, a clergyman, still believe in the existence of science?"

The priest said: "After crossing the frozen valley and reaching the Gerda Prairie, you can see the country of the Goblins. They are a nation that is good at using science to create."

Xiaorou shook her head, "That's right, I forgot that the world view set in this game is the coexistence of science and theology. Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask you. So... what do you think about ethics?"

The pastor said: "Definition 1: Ethics is a discipline that explores what is good and bad, and discusses moral responsibilities and obligations. Definition 2: Ethics is a series of concepts that guide behavior, and is a philosophical thinking about moral phenomena from a conceptual perspective. .It not only contains behavioral norms in dealing with the relationship between people, people and society, and people and nature, but also profoundly contains profound principles for regulating behavior according to certain principles. Definition 3: Ethics is..."

"Stop!" Xiaorou patted the podium against her back hard, making a banging sound, "Stop talking! I don't want to hear this kind of information! Sure enough, even if I asked, it would be in vain."

She couldn't help but laugh at herself...she would actually ask a bunch of data designed by programmers.

The priest suddenly said: "When the great Father God created the first humans, there was no ethics. The first humans drank hair and blood, walked according to instinct, and were no different from wild beasts. Later, the Father God standardized ethics for the first humans, and humans gradually gradually With order, the world has never become so prosperous until now.”

"That is to say, ethics are necessary, right?" She raised her head and could not see the appearance of the pastor. She could only see the mural on the ceiling of the auditorium on the podium.

The pastor said: "Being needed."

"Being needed..." Xiaorou sneered: "Then if the human order is broken and becomes chaotic again, or the existing ethics are no longer suitable for the development of the world, can it also be overturned and abandoned, and then To create a new ethics and order? No longer limited to the so-called etiquette, current morality, and established relationships between people?"

She had already stood up, her eyes piercing the priest like a sharp sword, but she saw the priest standing motionless, even his expression seemed to be paused.

She could only feel a moment of disappointment... How could these simple data piles be able to answer such a question?

Probably being able to give an answer like "being needed" already shows that the programmer who designed it is very conscientious.

No one can give her her own answer... The moment the eleventh bell of Guancheng rang in the evening, Xiaorou looked at everything outside the tower in silence.

Why has it become so peaceful?

A quarter past eleven.

A quarter past eleven... thirty seconds to go.

Xiaorou suddenly took a deep breath, turned around, walked to the pastor, and said with a smile: "Pastor, prepare for the ceremony."

The priest said: "Miss Qianyu Xianrou, you cannot hold the ceremony alone."

Xiaorou smiled and said: "No, it's two people... there will be two people soon."

The pastor asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because, no matter when it is, as long as we have an agreement..." Xiaorou said with tears, "He will definitely arrive half an hour early. It will always be like this."

At a quarter past eleven, the door of the auditorium suddenly opened with a bang. Qianxiu, who was wet and panting, looked extremely embarrassed, still holding the handle of the door lock with both hands, and stared angrily.

Her body trembled slightly, but she still had the determination she had a few seconds ago. It was as if all her strength had been drained away. She turned around in an instant with fear and uneasiness, and stood in front of the podium, her eyes passing over the long long red carpet look.

"Are you sick? You have to go to such a high place, and the stairs are still spiral!" Qian Xiu took a few breaths, strode quickly, and walked quickly to Xiaorou.

"I knew you were coming back."

"If I don't come, after twelve o'clock, you won't even be able to stay in this world anymore and just find a place to kill yourself, right?"

She nodded with a sad look on her face.

"Does such a threat make sense?"

"If you don't care about me anymore, do they still mean anything to you?"

Lan Xiu suddenly spoke up. She let it go without saying a word, her eyes like sharp needles and sharp wheat awns.

Time passed little by little, and it came to three-quarters of an hour to eleven, and then came the last ten minutes of the day... nine minutes... eight minutes... seven minutes...

When the twelfth bell rang, which represented the arrival of midnight, Qian Xiu took a deep breath, "Do you know what it means to be here?"

"Um……"

"You can no longer be willful. You will not be able to enjoy a high-quality life. You will suffer, and you will even face more dangers. You may even starve!"

"I put in all my pocket money. It's 23 million diamonds. It should last for a long time. Don't worry! I'm not afraid!"

"...Why are you always so willful?" Qian Xiu rubbed his forehead, "You have to hand it in! You are not allowed to smoke anything again! You can't buy things randomly!"

"Know it!"

"Even if I never see Lan Kai again?"

"You know? I can't let go of all this... Brother, he can't let go either." Qianyu Xianrou lowered her head and leaned on Qian Xiu's chest, "He is suffering too much. He has been suffering too much. I am no longer here. , he can be freed. If there had been no news from you, I wouldn't have been able to persist until now... Lan Kai, he has a heavy sense of responsibility. He has been Lan's eldest son for thirty years, but he has never been himself... …He was never free…”

"This is no reason for us to be like this." Qian Xiu shook his head.

Qianyu Xianrou raised her head and looked at the face she had been waiting for for a long time in horror, her body trembling.

But he grabbed her palm forcefully and looked at the priest on the podium because under Qianyu's delicate instructions, the priest who had started the ceremony did not stop.

The priest, who had already finished reciting the long lines, stopped at this time and said repeatedly: Mr. Qianxiu, are you willing to marry Miss Qianyu Xianrou?

"I do." Qian Xiu answered with absolute certainty.

Qianyu's delicate body trembled even more violently... Finally, she heard such words.

"Miss Qianyu Xianrou, are you willing to marry Mr. Qianxiu?"

"I do!" She said loudly: "I do! I do!"

The pastor nodded, closed the scriptures on the podium with both hands, and then spread them out. Above the auditorium, two rays of light were flashing, turning into light groups, and slowly landed in front of Qianxiu and Qianyu. Then it turned into two rings.

The pastor said loudly: "Then, with the command of God the Father, I declare to you..."

But the pastor's words were suddenly interrupted by Qian Xiu, "No! No blessing is required. We are only united in the name of... sinners."

"...to announce that you are officially husband and wife, please exchange rings." The pastor smiled slightly.

Qian Xiu silently picked up the ring and put it on Qian Yu's delicate finger, "In the name of sinners, we will not get happiness."

She also silently picked up the ring and put it on Qian Xiu's finger, "In the name of sinners, even if we don't get happiness, we will be together forever, and nothing can separate us anymore."

"We are complicit."

"Already an accomplice from the beginning."

There was no one watching the ceremony in the auditorium, which proved that the priest was just a fictitious thing. He even needed to come to a completely unfamiliar world and give up being a human being...he and she kissed here.

A forbidden flower bloomed under existing human relations.

War Song Gudazi: "God of Milk!! Come on! Where are the people!!!"

Xiaobao: "It's coming, it's coming, now, now!"

Muscular Kangna sighed: "I finally understand why you are called a cheating god. It really means you form a team once and then you don't have to go back and form it again."

Xiaobao: "Don't be like this, I have a long-term partner after all!"

The green dead Ku Shui asked curiously: "Damn... is there someone more cheating than you?"

Xiaobao: "It's quite tricky. I never use voice, I only know how to type. You don't know how tired I am! It's still fun to text and voice at the same time like this! It frees up both hands! But I say, although in this aspect It’s worth complaining about, but my boss will definitely not cheat! If this copy is like this, I think these two bosses can get through it directly!”

Zhan Ge Gudazi said in astonishment: "Who is so awesome? Do you know him?"

Xiaobao laughed and said, "I guess I can't do it for the time being. I'm on my honeymoon...even though it's just in the game."

"Tch! Pay attention to the milk supply!!"

"Okay, okay, come here, come here...wait, wait! I'll go away!!"

"Nah...here he is again! Kick this cheater out of the team!!"

Xiaobao could no longer see that his character had been kicked out of the team. He just ran hurriedly outside the corridor of the office with a pile of information, "Tch, am I going to tell you that the two bosses of my family are The pair of legendary gods in the gaming world!"

"What are you laughing at?" Qian Yu Xianrou poked her head out from under Qian Xiu's arm and asked curiously.

"Xiaobao's email." Qianxiu smiled: "Another team was tricked by him."

Qianyu Xianrou thought for a while and said: "Well, actually, you are quite good, but those people don't know what they are doing, right? Where should we go next? Are we going to explore new areas as planned?"

Qian Xiu suddenly said: "Before that, I want to go somewhere first?"

"Where?"

"Novice Village."

"Wow, is there such a great place? How come I never knew about it?"

On the small bridge by the lake, Qian Yu stretched softly, but Qian Xiu was here quietly looking at the entrance in front of the bridge, not saying much. Qianyu Xianrou didn't mind, and just looked at Qianxiu's side face silently.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a young man dressed as a mage at the end of the bridge, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a basket in the other, walking slowly.

"Are you just waiting for this person? Why is he only at level four?" Qianyu Xianrou blinked her eyes, as if she felt incredible.

Qianxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "He has been at level four since I met him. He never does anything but come here to fish when he has time...the mission of the legendary Golden Carp King."

Qianyu Xianrou's eyes widened, "The one who claims to be impossible to complete?"

Qianxiu nodded.

Qianyu Xianrou shook her head, "I don't know if this guy is lucky or unlucky."

Finally, the little mage walked up to the two of them, smiled slightly and said, "Two people this time?"

Qianxiu nodded, smiled and said: "I found the answer to the question about the isolated island monkey."

"Congratulations." Little Mage lq nodded.

Qian Xiu suddenly said: "Don't you want to know the answer?"

The little mage shook his head, walked past the two of them, and came to the place where he usually fished. He sat down and said casually: "It's your answer, not mine. It's of no use to me."

"Why is this person like this?" Qian Yu asked softly in Qian Xiu's ear.

Qian Xiu shook his head slightly, walked behind the little mage, and suddenly said: "I saw it."

The little mage turned to look at him.

Qian Xiu said: "Golden Carp King, I saw it. It is indeed under the bottom of the lake, probably in a cave in the middle."

"I know." The little mage smiled.

Qian Xiu said in astonishment: "You know?"

The little mage said: "Because I tried to find someone to take the bait down for me before, but he was chased around by the Carp King and died many times. Later I realized that I can only catch him with a fishing rod."

Qian Xiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the lq little mage, and after a long time he suddenly burst out laughing, "Really? Is that so? It's always been... always been there, so it's like this!"

"The willing one will take the bait." The little mage also smiled slightly.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Qian Yu Xianrou stood between the two of them, looking back and forth. Then, like a frightened rabbit, she hugged Qian Xiu's arm and looked at her with hostility. From the perspective of the little mage.

She also deliberately flashed the ring on her hand... Of course, she didn't think the little mage would notice, she just did it like this.

Qian Xiu just smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, the little mage suddenly put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up.

System prompt: Player lq asks you to inherit the mission "Fishing for the Golden Carp King". Do you want to accept it?

This was the voice that sounded in Qian Xiu's mind. He opened his eyes in shock and moved his lips, "Why?"

"Just think of it as... your wedding gift." The little mage smiled and said: "Although they say it is an impossible task, I hope you don't mind."

"What about yourself? Isn't it a pity to suddenly give up after working hard for such a long time?" Qian Xiu frowned.

"Me?" The little mage shook his head: "I'm just killing time. If I don't do this task, there are actually many things I can do."

Qian Xiu thought for a while and nodded, "Then I'm welcome. If it falls, I will tell you."

"waiting for your good news."

The little mage just left the two of them, walked out of the bridge, walked through the long piece of mud used for digging earthworms, and then disappeared into the forest.

Qianxiu picked up the fishing rod on the ground and looked at it silently.

"You're not really planning to do this task, are you?" Qianyu Xianrou asked curiously, "It's impossible to complete."

"Just think of it as... atonement." Qian Xiu gave the answer softly, but when he saw Qian Yu's delicate movements, he couldn't help but frown, "What do you want to do..."

"I bought universal fishing bait in the mall instead. Is it possible to catch earthworms?" Qianyu Xianrou said of course, "I really caught them with my hands! It's not pixels! It's a bad habit...brother!"

Qian Xiu hit the other party on the head hard, "I said, don't buy things randomly!!"

Hospital, observation ward.

Facing the mirror in front of him, Lan Kai quietly looked at Lan Xiaorou, who was lying inside as if she was asleep.

The crescent moon is beside him, folding paper cranes.

Lan Kai suddenly sighed, "Xinyue, do you think she will be unconscious from now on, or is she dreaming a dream of her own?"

"I don't know." Xinyue shook her head, "We can only think about the good things... No one knows the answer, not Xiaorou herself."

With that said, Xinyue placed the folded paper cranes on the table here. There were already many paper cranes here.

Lan Kai shook his head and said: "The doctor said she may not wake up in this life. If you do so much, she won't be able to see. Isn't it redundant?"

Xinyue said with a smile: "You, are you saying that I do unnecessary things all day long? Isn't it interesting that you do all the unnecessary things yourself?"

Lan Kai snorted: "I didn't."

Xinyue stood up straight, stretched out her hand to touch Lan Kai's lips, and sighed: "Lan Group is engaged in the production of large-scale equipment... This has nothing to do with the medical industry, right? But since you took over After becoming a business, why do you suddenly want to invest in medical services? Why do you also cooperate with hospitals and open such a nursing home? "

"The company needs to transform, and it can't be a dead end." Lan Kai shook his head and looked away: "Your family is also a business family. Don't you understand this?"

"I'm just a little woman. You really don't understand how you do business." Xinyue knocked on Lan Kai's forehead, "But, we want other hospitals to focus on studying the nervous system, and we even plan to cooperate with another foreign country to develop a neurological system." What is the purpose of the prosthetic limb project?”

"Who told you?" Lan Kai frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is it this guy Xiao Li? See if I don't scold him to death! The secretary doesn't look like a secretary!"

Xinyue stretched out her hand and knocked Lan Kai's forehead again, and said: "Because of your domineering attitude, I will soon become the petitioner for your employees, okay? It's better for them. They came to my piano classroom to complain, and they felt comfortable. , but you are disturbing my teaching students!"

"I..." Lan Kai hesitated, finally took a breath, shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll be more careful in the future."

"Besides paying attention, is there nothing else?" Xinyue still had a tense face.

Lan Kai said helplessly: "Okay, okay, what else is there, tell me, can't I change it?"

Xinyue said softly: "Are you almost ready to let yourself go?"

Lan Kai's body trembled slightly, he looked at Lan Xiaorou in front of the bed, and put his hand on the glass in front of him, "If I hadn't persisted...would they have been living well in that corner of the world? "

"I don't know." Xinyue shook her head.

Lan Kai breathed a sigh of relief, "After Xiaorou's condition is completely stable, send her to a nursing home."

"Really?" Xinyue looked at Lan Kai in surprise.

Lan Kai nodded silently, "Don't let more tragedies happen. The little girl in the bedroom, Lan Xiu's brother, should also give it a try."

"That's good."

Lan Kai grabbed Xinyue's hand and said, "By the way, should you consider marrying me?"

Xinyue took out her hand and backed away with her hands behind her back, "No."

"Why?" Lan Kai asked puzzledly.

"Think about it now, you don't seem to have pursued me properly, have you? My years of understanding have been wasted by your ignorance. Now you just ask me to marry you with just a casual sentence? How can it be so cheap? What's going on?" After saying that, Xinyue opened the door and walked out.

Lan Kai chased after you directly, "Wait a minute, who said I didn't chase you? From junior high school to high school to college, I have been chasing you, right? New moon! New moon! Let's go to the movies tonight?"

"don't want!"

"New Moon!! Wait for me!"

"don't want!"

The wind blew open the curtains, and in a room of a quiet nursing home in the suburbs, a man and a woman were lying on beds side by side.

All are very clean.

Because you are well taken care of here.

The club maid was replacing fresh roses on the vase in front of the window sill, while Boss Luo stood in the middle of the two hospital beds.

"If... the human order is broken and becomes chaotic again, or the existing ethics are no longer suitable for the development of the world, can it also be overthrown and abandoned, and then create a new ethics and order? No more Is it limited to so-called etiquette, current morality, and established relationships between people?”

The roses spread out into beautiful shapes under You Ye's hands. After hearing this, the maid turned around and saw Luo Qiu shaking his head, "It's quite difficult, this proposition."

The maid said, "Well... In the ancient times in the East, there seems to be a so-called rule of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, Lord, Master, Lord, is he no longer here?"

"That will happen a long, long time later." Luo Qiu smiled, then walked to the bedside table between the two beds and placed a small photo frame on the cabinet.

"Then, the things that are stored with me will be returned to you...two guests."

He and she were the only ones left sleeping in the ward of the nursing home.

The wind still stirred the gauze in front of the window, and the gauze stirred the roses on the vase.

In the photo, he and she are hugging each other intimately... Who would probably think that he and she are lovers who love each other so deeply, right?

ps: This is a story that says, 'As long as there is love, there is no problem even if it is (crossed out)'... That's it. 8
