Dimensional Bookstore

Being in the dark underground, even time seemed to slow down. After staying there for so long, even Le Jing felt as if he had turned into a cold corpse, sleeping unconsciously in the dark and cold underground.

Although the body is imprisoned, the human spirit is free.

The books in his bookstore open a window to these children living underground. It gave them a glimpse of this great and magnificent world. Although it was short-lived, this beautiful memory is eternal.

In this world, there is a limit to what Lejing can do. Unlike the first two worlds, this world he faced was nature, an entire world that had been destroyed. This is beyond human power. So the only thing Lejing can do is to keep the fire of hope as much as possible, so that it can warm everyone who is lonely in the cold night.

However, when I stayed here for the second month, something unexpected happened.

That morning, the men at the base were out looking for food. Keynes followed. Half-elves are magical creatures, even if they don't eat. But Le Jing is different. He is a human being and he must eat. So after Keynes fainted from hunger once, he followed the group of humans out to look for food without hesitation.

Therefore, only Le Jing and a few men guarding the food, as well as women and children were left in the entire base. Oh, and add Victor.

After the day's teaching, Lejing dismissed the children. After all, their lives are not easy. Reading is their rare free time. They spend more time working and looking for non-staple food.

Le Jing lay on a chair in the bookstore and fell asleep. He was awakened by Le Ling's piercing alarm.

【alarm! alarm! Someone is invading with weapons of mass destruction! 】

Le Jing's eyes immediately regained consciousness. He jumped off the chair and rushed outside. Then he ran back: "Victor!" He had never called Victor's name in such a loud voice.

Victor yawned and walked slowly downstairs: "What's wrong?"

Le Jing hugged him directly, quickly explained the reason to Victor, and then asked eagerly: "Can you use magic to teleport us directly to where those people are?"

"But you don't know magic, you might feel..." Victor paused mid-sentence, and Le Jing's expression turned ugly. They all heard the faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and Victor knew better. He smelled the faint smell of blood.

They are located inside a cave. Women and children are scraping salty minerals on the rock wall near the cave entrance. It can be said that this place is far away from them. But he smelled a faint smell of blood here...

Victor's eyes dimmed, knowing that the matter was beyond discussion. He didn't waste much time and said directly: "Hold me tight!" Then he immediately activated teleportation magic to teleport to the location of the woman and children.

Le Jing finally understood the meaning of Victor's unfinished sentence.

He felt as sick as motion sickness. Their position was very close to the fighting place. He could clearly hear men's laughter, gunfire, children's cries and women's begging for mercy.

Le Jing didn't think about anything at that moment. He just moved his legs mechanically, approaching the direction of purgatory step by step.

After turning a corner, Le Jing finally saw clearly what was happening here with the light of the torch hanging on the rock wall.

Men in black turbans carried machine guns and laughed happily, firing crackling gunfire at the crowd. The children were covered in blood and lying in a pool of blood with their eyes open. After all, they had not had time to grow up.

They may become big people who change the world in the future, but they will never reach that future. In the end, they died in exile and did not become kings.

Le Jing's hot heart suddenly felt as cold as ice in Antarctica.

Some men were throwing themselves on the living women's bodies, making disgusting gasps like beasts. Some men also spotted Le Jing standing at the entrance of the cave. They raised their guns at Le Jing threateningly and said with a ferocious smile: "There is another man here!"

"Shitou, don't you like men? I'll reward you with this pretty boy."

A big man came out of the crowd with a gun on his back. He looked at Le Jing with undisguised lust and obscenity. He didn't even point the gun at the thin young man who lowered his head and remained silent. In his opinion, this was He was just a frightened wimp, and if he hadn't had a decent face and body, he would have become one of the corpses on the ground.

"Victor." Le Jing heard his calm voice speaking softly from this hell on earth: "Please kill them, but remember to leave one alive. I have something to ask him."

Shi Shi's ears were pretty good. He obviously heard it. He laughed loudly when he heard the words, and looked at Le Jing with even more contempt: "Are you a fucking coward? Are you scared out of your mind now? You make me feel good, uncle!" I’ll give you relief.”

Victor didn't even look at the clown who was talking nonsense, he stiffened and nodded. Black Cat's clean golden eyes without any impurities clearly reflected the ferocious eyes of this always gentle and calm young man. His polite words that seemed to be asking contained murderous intent. Therefore, even though Le Jing was just a helpless human being, even though Keynes who could restrain him was not here, he did not dare to disobey this man's order.

He had a premonition that if he dared to refuse, the evil ghost would regard him as an enemy in the next moment and would hunt him down for the rest of his life.

So he jumped to the ground and without hesitation used his strongest death magic, Infinite Hell. The ominous black mist spread in the cave, intelligently avoiding all the women and children, and gradually shrouding the thugs with guns. .

Because Shi Shi was closest to Le Jing and escaped, he was able to watch closely what happened to his companions.

All the men wrapped in the black mist screamed in horror that was too inhuman. They roared and struggled, but they could not escape the black mist that followed them everywhere.

Shitou looked at this strange scene in horror, and inadvertently met the black cat's strange golden eyes shining in the dark underground. Thinking of the few words he had just heard from the young man, all the clues were connected together like lightning. , he turned around and immediately put the muzzle of his gun against Le Jing's head, "Who are you? What is that black mist? Is it a chemical weapon? Or poison? You have an antidote, right? Hand over the antidote!" "

Even though he held the muzzle of his gun against him, the young man's face remained dull and expressionless, and his eyes as he looked at him were as cold as the cold wind in Siberia.

While he was talking for more than ten seconds, there were several loud thumping sounds from the entrance of the cave. He turned around and saw a scene that shocked him.

The black mist gradually dissipated, revealing several twisted and ferocious faces like evil spirits. Blood slowly flowed out of the corners of their eyes, nostrils, mouths, and even ear holes. There was real bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Endless Hell. Those who receive this spell will be punished by hell in the spiritual world. One second in reality is equal to one month in the spiritual world. They cannot even die without my permission. They are my most powerful Death magic." The black cat shook its tail proudly and looked at the young man with the gun pressed against his head.

The young man stretched out his hand and easily pushed away the muzzle of the gun that was pressed against his head, and slowly walked deeper into the cave entrance.

Stone was enraged. He turned around and faced the young man with red eyes and pulled the trigger crazily, with a crazy smile on his face: "Go to hell! Monster!"

The young man kept walking and didn't even look at him. The bullet stopped half a meter away from his body, and then fell to the ground without leaving even a scratch on the young man.

Shi Shi was so frightened by this supernatural scene that he collapsed. He yelled and threw away the gun in his hand and fled from here. However, as soon as he took out his right leg, he found that his body was as stiff as a stone sculpture and could not move at all.

Victor yawned and sat down at his feet: "He said he would leave one alive. If you escape, he will definitely kill me and make a fight between dragons and tigers." Thinking of the popular science that Le Jing once gave him Victor couldn't help but shudder. Humans are so terrible! Cats are so cute that they actually eat them!

"Victor, can you please tell them to be quiet?"

"Okay, no problem!"

So the next moment, those twisted figures couldn't even scream. The only thing left in the entire venue was the sound of women crying, like a wisp of complaints, like complaints.

Then I heard the young man's voice suddenly rang out from the quiet cave, his voice was as soft as if he was talking to himself: "Do you know?"

He knelt down and helped Li Lin close her eyes full of hatred and fear: "This child is called Li Lin. She is thirteen years old. I taught her to read beautiful poems, but now she sleeps underground with hatred and fear until she dies. I have never seen the sunshine in the poem.”

"This child is called Maria. She is ten years old. I guess she is of Jewish descent. She has always loved singing and dreams that she can become a singer after the disaster is over."

"This child, named Lin Hong, is nine years old. He is a very sensible child. He always saves food and gives it to his sister, but he almost starves to death."

"This child is called Li Qing. He is seven years old. He wants to live a life of eating meat every meal..."

"This child, named Ryan, is nine years old. He wants to be a pilot in the future so that he can see the sun and stars through the dark clouds..."

The young man stopped in front of each child, and one by one they closed their eyes and helped them tidy up their messy hair.

Then, it was the last one, he stopped in front of Ji Xing, her eyes were closed.

She never saw the stars with her own eyes until her death.

"This child's name is Ji Xing. She is eight years old." His voice was weak, like a flickering candle at the entrance of the cave that could be extinguished at any time. "She wants to see the stars."

Le Jing felt like there was a big hole in his heart, and all human emotions were missing from it.

Now, all the kings have died and all the stars have fallen.

Because many people have become accustomed to being in darkness, they cannot see any light.

Suddenly, as if by fate, a child crawled out from under his mother's body.

This was a very young child. She stumbled towards Lejing with clear and frightened eyes.

Le Jing was pleasantly surprised and held her tightly in his arms, as if he was embracing the entire starry sky devoutly. He closed his eyes, a tear falling from the corner of his eye.

Le Jing remembers her, she was the dead Li Qing's beloved little sister.

"Teacher." Four-year-old Li Mei looked blankly at her brother's body lying on the ground through his arms. Her face was still stained with her mother's blood. She raised her head and asked Le Jing seriously, "What if I die?" If so, what will I leave behind?”

Le Jing wiped the blood from her face with tears and answered her: "A sad and angry me."

He picked up Li Mei and walked towards Shitou step by step. His eyes were dark, and all his emotions were hidden in the deep pool. "Why?" He sought an answer for himself, for all the dead, and for the surviving Li Mei, "Why kill them?"

Shitou swallowed his saliva, raised his head, and answered firmly and fearlessly: "Because they are pagans! They don't believe in the great truth, and death is the punishment given to them by the God of Truth."

Le Jing had never heard of the so-called God of Truth. But he knew what it was, and what Shitou and the others were.

An evil god, and a cult.

Just like Asahara Shoko, who founded Aum Shinrikyo and was recently sentenced to death by Japan, he released sarin gas in the Tokyo subway in 1995, killing 13 people and injuring more than 5,510 people.

The end of the world is a disaster for all mankind, but it provides soil for the survival, development and growth of cults.

Le Jing suddenly remembered a statistic by Russian military expert Vladimir Slipchenko: In the 5,500 years of civilization on Earth, there have been more than 15,000 wars and armed conflicts, and billions of people have died. In the course of human survival, only 300 years have passed in a peaceful environment.

Even in the end of the world, the children here have not gained true peace.

Humans are indeed the only race in nature that kills each other.

The young man held back his tears and showed a tired smile.

Where is the world full of flowers... Does it really exist?
