Chapter 687 Talk
Terali 1591.1.30.
Heaven·Unknowable Land.
The third floor·Belia.
This is called the "created world" and is the first transition in the gradual transformation of the infinite brilliance of the Almighty into the perceptible and finite world.
In Beria, the divine light is no longer an infinite concept that cannot be touched, but reveals the prototype of rules and order through specific divine qualities.
It is the place of truth that countless beings long for. It is also the headquarters of the core institutions and important departments of the Kingdom of Heaven, just like the beating center of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The most eye-catching thing in Beria on the third floor is a mysterious building called [Bǐnà].
[Bina] is not an ordinary building, it represents pure, undifferentiated inspiration and intuition.
It is the essence of wisdom in the unknowable place and the projection of all structured and ordered knowledge in this sacred realm.
It is like an unspeakable source that leads directly to the deepest truth. Its brilliance contains endless enlightenment. Here, mortal souls can touch those unknowable mysteries.
One of the most important sacred objects among all the buildings in [Bina] is the [Pool of Bethesda] - one of the two holy pools for healing in heaven.
Another holy healing pool is located on the first floor, between the two courtyards [Chung Si] and [Nursery] - [Siloam Pool].
[The Pool of Bethesda] is quietly located in the center of [Bina]. Surrounding the pool is an open stone courtyard.
The ancient white marble pillars support the structure of the courtyard. They are as white as snow. The surface of the pillars is engraved with countless ancient words that are difficult to decipher. These words have their own rhythm and shine with a faint light, in harmony with the surrounding sacred environment. Become one.
In the center of the courtyard, there is a silvery pool of water, with a soft shimmer and ripples on the surface; above the pool, several statues of angels float; there is no substantial roof above the building, but a void-like sky. .
There are five ancient corridors next to the courtyard. Each corridor leads to a different direction, symbolizing different sacred qualities and powers.
Those corridors are like paths leading to infinite truth. Once you step into them, you embark on the path to understanding creation and structure.
In the silver pool water, Xia Xiu lay lazily on the edge of the pool, with his hands spread out and leaning on a slightly protruding stone chair.
At this moment, his figure seems to blend into this holy tranquility and become one with this sacred courtyard.
Xia Xiu's hair was slicked back into a neat slicked back. The wet hair clung to his scalp, giving off a faint metallic texture in the dim light, making him look more capable and cold. The slicked back style made his entire face It was more clearly exposed, revealing its sharp contours and impeccable features.
He still had that hideous wound on his chest, which was particularly conspicuous near his heart.
Since the death of Green Sun, he has been soaking in this pool for three days.
The silver healing water flowed slowly, wrapping his body and repairing the twenty-four broken organs bit by bit.
He closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and tranquility of the water, and his consciousness gradually drifted away.
Although most of the organs have recovered, the core organ near the heart that was crushed by the trial will never heal.
In order to make up for this irreversible loss, Eden implanted a new [Heart of Revelation] in him when he returned to the unknown land.
"Huh~"
Xia Xiu exhaled with sigh, "Ah~ What a brand new heart."
He muttered secretly in his heart, and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth. With an indescribable sense of humor, he said, "Sure enough, my heart is also a workman. If one is broken, I have to replace it with a new one. I then work overtime and beat 24 hours a day... Thanks to this heart, I feel I’m like an overtime machine.”
The newly implanted [Heart of Apocalypse] beat very regularly, as if he had received an order to work overtime indefinitely. Every pulse in his heart seemed to remind him:
There is no time to rest, you have to continue. Work!
The new heart cooperates perfectly with the [Second Heart·Heart Engine] in his body. The two hearts work at the same time, like a pair of poor workers who are forced to accept double the workload - one Responsible for ensuring the body's energy supply, the other has to fully support his every action.
"How does it feel to take a bath for three days?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the tranquility of the pool water.
Xia Xiu lazily opened his eyes and turned to look at the visitor.
It was an old man wearing casual formal attire, a bit unruly, and he was slowly walking towards the edge of the pool.
This man is none other than the chairman of the Heavenly Kingdom Ethics Committee, Robert Felden, his political ally.
He was holding a thick roster in his hand, obviously coming on official business.
Felden walked directly to Xia Xiu and sat down without any scruples. His bare feet lazily stretched into the water, swaying casually, causing some tiny splashes.
Xia Xiu frowned in disgust and moved to the side, with a hint of helplessness and speechlessness on his face.
“This is the holy pool, you just stick your feet in?”
Felden shrugged and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Are you still concerned about the holy and unholy pool? As an academic student of Luyuan, you didn't realize that this is the conceptual substance that Eden extracted from [Yahwei]? The understanding of one of the ten elements Concretely, it can turn disorder into a pool of knowledge."
Xia Xiu rolled his eyes and said with a mocking tone, "Of course I know the nature of this pool, but it doesn't stop me. I hate your... graphic expression of wanting to spice up the pool.”
Felden continued to enjoy the comfort of soaking his feet unconcerned.
Xia Xiu sighed, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Tell me, what are you doing here? Can you please let me be a little cleaner."
Felden said casually: " You have been touching fish for three days, it’s time to move.”
After hearing this, the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom showed displeasure and pointed to the wound on his chest.
“Fish? Fish? This is work-related injury repair! How does it count as fishing?”
"I'm repairing work-related injuries! Do you think work-related injury repairs don't count as working hours?"
He continued dissatisfied: "These twenty-four broken organs have been repaired to the point where I have doubts about life. Come and take care of me." Try taking a dip in the pool!”
Felden squinted and looked at the ferocious scar on the chest of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom, and frowned slightly, as if he was weighing the weight it carried—— A full blow from a man on the verge of a miracle.
Then, he stopped talking, spread out the heavy roster in his hand, scanned the writing on it with his eyes, and slowly began to explain the business.
Xia Xiu noticed the change in the atmosphere and put down his teasing. His expression gradually calmed down and he returned to the calm and serious posture of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Although his body had been restored by soaking in the Pool of Bethesda for the past three days, he never really relaxed mentally.
He really hasn't fished in the past three days.
The more than three thousand unprocessed messages from the Administration have been processed through mental overclocking in the past few days.
The mess left by the fall of Green Sun is far more troublesome than these things.
“Let’s get down to business now.” Feilden began to report word by word. "Regarding the awakening of the inner sanctum and the follow-up treatment of Bade Fei II, the people in the central containment room have contained three insect arrows, three bone arrows, future eyes, infinite train, black wedding dress, and anomalies based on the relevant information you provided. Space (bloody eyes), progressive acceleration assignment engine device..."
Felden flipped through the register in his hand, tapping his fingers lightly on each page. He was extremely familiar with the recorded items.
He raised his eyes and looked at the blond young man who was still half leaning on the edge of the pool. His voice was low and steady:
"Although all these items have been contained, we still need to further confirm their identity. Mutation situation. In particular, the people in the central containment room are very interested in the progressive acceleration engine device and the infinite train. Their research value is very great, especially the potential for space manipulation, and new ones may be developed. Ship blueprint."
Xia Xiu lay in the pool, his eyes slightly narrowed, his golden pupils thinking in the dim light.
He turned his head and glanced at Feilden, with a hint of disapproval in his voice:
"I don't care if other things are given to the containment room, but I just need the Infinity Train."
He didn't say much, but his meaning was very clear.
Felden raised his eyebrows and asked with a bit of speculation:
"You plan to use it for the third hospital...?"
Xia Xiu gently Shrugging, as if responding to an obvious question, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone:
"Just be a school bus, and discuss with the Federation about the first phase construction plan of the Three Hospitals."
Felden's expression was as usual, and he was not surprised by the eclectic idea of the fourth sword-wielding man in the Kingdom of Heaven. .
Xia Xiu continued, his tone returning to a more serious tone:
"The consortium is involved behind the awakening of the inner temple, and the president of the Second Federal Bank, John K. Hanks , I am very grateful to me for helping them find out the relevant institutions that the consortium has infiltrated. Therefore, the construction funds of the Three Hospitals are no longer a problem, especially the people from the Savings Bank have already started to build it." Although there was a nonchalant tone in his tone, it seemed as if this power game involving multiple levels was just an everyday game.
However, Felden knew that the complex situation behind this was far from simple.
The infiltration of the consortium is not only a problem in the economic field, but also affects the entire federal political system. Xia Xiu's actions this time have undoubtedly opened a hole in the undercurrent.
Xia Xiu looked up at the unobstructed sky. Starlight was scattered on his blond hair, like a thin layer of silver.
His voice was calm, with a bit of contemplation:
“The completion pool is expected to be repaired within half a month, and the Whispering Square that was previously conquered has also completed post-war reconstruction. The place was almost reduced to rubble, but now it’s like nothing happened.”
He paused for a moment, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, thinking.
“The foundation of the three houses has been laid, but this is only the beginning, and the real trouble will come next.”
The aftermath of the Green Sun, the awakening of the inner temple, and the conspiracy of the consortium— —Most of these entangled forces have been destroyed in one fell swoop.
The construction of the third hospital is also the first official step.
However, what Xia Xiu really wants to worry about is the next thing. He continued to say to his allies:
"Now it is time to consider the first phase construction plan of the three houses, as well as the strategic deployment of the first round of the Ivy War.
Although the Federal Second Bank is helping us, their appetite is not small. They want to To get more benefits from it
As for the Ivy War, it is a plane war and competition with the gods of the 'Golden Court'. You must carefully evaluate which god you will fight with and which one you will win. The plane port is used as a springboard, how to accumulate the complement value...
We not only have to deal with Terra's enemy heavenly forces, but we also have to be on guard against those gods who are ready to move. They will not be willing to be purged like this. "
"This war..." Feilden's voice paused in the air for a moment, "I'm afraid it will be more difficult than we imagined."
Xia Xiu leaned against the stone sculpture and smiled slightly.
He reached out and rubbed his meticulous golden back. A few scattered strands of hair were swaying on the edge of the pool. There was a faint fearlessness in his smile, which contrasted with the cynicism in his bones.
"It's nothing, I have long been accustomed to difficult things."
Xia Xiu's voice was brisk and casual. This was not frivolous, but his attitude after countless lives and deaths.
He has experienced too much suffering and suffering, and war, conspiracy, and inevitable conflicts are no longer new to him.
He raised his head, looked directly into Feilden's eyes, without hesitation, and then asked directly:
"In addition to discussing these with me, you should have other questions you want to ask. Yes."
Felden's expression changed slightly. Although he had always been calm and composed, Xia Xiu keenly caught the subtle changes in the old man's eyes.
Felden stared at the golden eyes of the blond young man. Those eyes were as dazzling as the sun, but there seemed to be countless undisclosed secrets hidden behind them.
Felden's tone suddenly became serious, with a kind of scrutiny:
"What did you see when you fell into Green Sun's territory? What did you say to Mu after you came back from the battlefield?"
Xia Xiu was stunned for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile.
Felden’s questions were not unexpected. It could even be said that he had expected the other party to ask these questions.
The old man’s keen eyesight and insight are as always, and he will not be easily fooled by appearances.
Since the Seventy-Two Hours of Crisis incident, Felden has become more cautious, especially when facing his chosen ally.
Xia Xiu's smile gradually faded, and there was a calm edge in his eyes.
He looked at Feilden and felt the almost suffocating pressure from him.
Although this old man seemed casual, the power he exuded was as heavy as a mountain.
This is not an ordinary question, but out of some deep uneasiness.
"Don't worry," Xia Xiu said slowly, with a calm tone and a hint of certainty, "I will not become another Judith Iscariot, nor will I become Lucifer, let alone Become Satan ”
Feilden's gaze was still sharp, like an invisible knife piercing Xia Xiu's heart. He did not respond hastily, his eyes were filled with a calm and scrutinizing light. The silence in the air seemed to condense everything, as if he was waiting for some unpredictable answer, or even a deeper truth.
"This matter..."
Felden's face did not have any emotional fluctuations, and remained cold and calm.
Finally, he uttered a sentence coldly from his lips:
“It’s hard to say.”
Xia Xiu smiled: "Yes, it's hard to say."
He raised his eyes and looked into the void in the distance.
"Just like what people have been thinking about - will the Kingdom of Heaven be destroyed without the outspoken advice of the Ethics Committee?"
He paused and looked back again Feilden had a faint smile in his eyes:
“It’s hard to say this.”
After Xia Xiu finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly and then stood up.
The moment he stood up, his [Private Customization] ability was quietly activated, and a set of simple but highly designed casual clothes appeared on his toned body.
The upper part of the clothes is a light gray long-sleeved sweatshirt, the cut is extremely fit, and the cuffs are slightly loose; the lower part is a pair of dark blue leggings trousers, the fabric is light but strong, the trousers are slightly tightened, just right for display Showing the lines of his slender legs.
Xia Xiu walked out of the pool nonchalantly with his bare feet, his steps brisk, water droplets sliding down the muscle lines of his arches.
The moment he stepped on the stone courtyard, a pair of white canvas shoes appeared under his feet. The uppers were smooth and flawless, and the soles were light and comfortable, just like his steps were silent.
While putting on his shoes, he looked at Feilden, his tone still relaxed:
"If you don't trust me, you can ask Mu. I reported it to the old man and Eden as soon as I came back. . ”
Xia Xiu’s tone was not sullen at all, but had an irresistible calmness.
The facts are there, no explanation is needed.
As he spoke, he put his hands casually into the pockets of his sweater and began to stroll towards the ancient gate of Bina.
He walked near the gate without stopping, but his voice still reached Feilden's ears clearly:
"I went to the Alchemical Engineering Department to see the solar boat salvaged from the Chukchi Sea. , take a look at the Holy Gospel Machine under repair.
After that, we will go to Azlut, the highest level, to meet Eden... Oh, by the way, the old man is also at the highest level this time. , he accompanied me during this interview.”
Xia Xiu’s voice gradually faded away, but his tone was always calm and calm.
The slender figure elongated and disappeared in the light and shadow, gradually blending into the ancient and solemn building of [Bina].
Felden silently watched the retreating figure of the fourth sword-wielding man in the Kingdom of Heaven, his eyes gradually softening, but the caution and doubt that could not be completely erased still remained in his brows.
He looked at the back of the blond young man and did not look away for a long time, thinking about a certain worry hidden deep in his heart.
"I hope you are really not the second 0-13..." He whispered to himself in a low voice, with a hint of fatigue and heaviness in his voice.
"The Ethics Committee does not want to and cannot create another...[beast]."
