Lord of Eternal Darkness

When the man saw Li Xiaoming arriving after a long journey, a smile appeared on his face.

"You came."

Xiao Ming nodded. "coming."

"You should have come earlier. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea first, enjoy the scenery and relieve the stress in your heart."

"Haha, just because I knew you would look for me, I stayed up so late that I didn't sleep at all."

Li Xiaoming was not polite and sat down directly. As if to show his anger, he took the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth, and then spit out the tea leaves.

"It seems that you know very well what I have gone through. It is better to say that you already knew what I will go through. This tea is really wasted for you."

Zhuang Mengxiao squinted his eyes, held the tea cup, and took a sip gracefully.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. If you like to drink tea, just drink it. It's all fake anyway."

Li Xiaoming wrinkled his eyes, "False things, does that include that white-haired rat loli? You know, I hate it when someone plots against me. For such people, I usually make them feel as painful as me."

Zhuang Mengxiao's face no longer had the leisurely complacency it had before, but instead became very depressed.

"Yeah, it seems like you guessed something."

"If you think about it carefully, it will be clear. The dream master's ability lies in illusion. That dungeon is full of dream essence, and in the entire Titan City, I can't guess who can have such a huge hand except you, Vice Principal Zhuang. "

"What do you want to know?"

"I actually don't want to know anything. If you hadn't plotted against me and asked me to go to that underground place to take a look, I would still be lying on the bed sleeping peacefully. I have to deal with so many things every day, where would I be able to meddle in others' affairs?" This effort."

Zhuang Mengxiao shook his head and said: "Do you think I gave you a hint? Didn't you take the initiative to take care of it? No one can control your will, not even me. I don't know what you are. Who is it, but the will of your soul is enough to compete with me.”

Li Xiaoming played with the tea cup in his hand and said with interest: "Sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes. Fortunately, you don't know my identity yet. So do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"

"A good person is just a good person among bad people. I see a kind of fanaticism in your spirit, which is a firmness for justice. Otherwise, you would not choose to investigate the dungeon."

Zhuang Mengxiao seemed to know everything, and his appearance was exactly what Li Xiaoming hated.

"Why did you choose me?"

"Because you are very talented and have the determination to sacrifice for the people of the world. The school has investigated your previous files and it seems that you have dealt with many cult incidents."

The intelligence network of the University of Warwick is terrifying, ranging from the political parties to the common people. After all, the world's largest number of top fortune tellers and hackers are all in this school. Otherwise, this school would not have been open for nearly 1,000 years.

"Teacher Neil and Lu Yong are also good." Li Xiaoming said matter-of-factly.

Zhuang Mengxiao slowly explained: "Although they are already my disciples, they are not good enough yet."

Li Xiaoming asked in confusion: "Why, they are at least stronger than me? And they have been with you longer, so they should all be your proud disciples."

Zhuang Mengxiao sighed and said: "Although in your eyes, Neil is an old man with a colorful beard, in my eyes, he is just a child who has just learned to walk. His desire is too strong and he only lives for himself." .

"As for Lu Yong, if he chooses the path of dual professions, he will no longer be able to inherit my mantle, although he can abolish his ability as a diviner and transform into a saint profession.

"But his heart is only in this Titan City, not this planet. He has too many limitations and his vision is too small. Before you came, I really had to consider him."

No wonder Li Xiaoming felt that Lu Yong seemed to have a problem with him. It turned out that he had robbed him of his right to inherit.

But he can still maintain the responsibility that a teacher should have and teach carefully which is pretty good.

Li Xiaoming said: "I went to that underground place and met Ramtiya. If I guessed correctly, the whole world is now her dream, right? And she is going through reincarnation again and again."

Zhuang Mengxiao nodded, "Where should the story begin? It was probably more than 100 years ago. My level at that time was about the same as yours.

"As you know, the higher the profession goes, the harder it is to upgrade. At the same time, I inherited the laziness that comes with the dreamer profession. I spend every day sleeping, but I still have to eat, so I took over the task from the nobles. "

"Just like you at that time, you came to the underground city with curiosity. You were attracted by the unique cultural environment here. You didn't expect that there was such a majestic place underground in Titan City. I also learned that this place is actually A place of exile for sinners, do you know why?”

Li Xiaoming shook his head in confusion.

"Because these hungry gene-sequencers gnawed on the corpse of the god who came to save them, and the kin of those superior gods, in order to express their hypocritical kindness, sentenced them to stay in this underground city forever, but it is also because of this , but he also escaped from being hunted by the church’s monsters.”

"Then during my first encounter with the Ratman tribe, I got to know the mother of the child and found that she was a knowledgeable woman. Although she is short and has a body covered with fur, you know the Ratmen..."

Li Xiaoming nodded. He didn't expect that Vice Principal Zhuang was actually a white-haired Lolita with animal ears before. Is this a dark history of a great man?

Is it worth selling it to a newspaper? The patron saint in their hearts looks like a dick, but I guess no one believes in them. Sure enough, it still doesn’t have enough influence.

Vice Principal Zhuang continued: "Then, according to her wishes, I took her out of the underground city, escaped the wars and disputes of her own people, went to see the sea, went on dates in the cinema, and ate popcorn. That was almost when I became The happiest time before a saint.”

"Later, she and I lived together and got married. But as you know, people's fear, disgust, and hostility towards genetically sequenced people, coupled with the religious propaganda at that time, almost described them as the biggest enemies of mankind. She and I I didn’t dare to tell the church I belonged to about living together, and if my parents were still alive at that time, I’m afraid they wouldn’t agree.”

"Finally, she was tired of hiding for a long time. Facing the tragic death of her fellow genetic sequencers from the outside world, she felt the most powerful malice in the world. At that time, I could only comfort her and express my powerlessness about everything."

"Later we had a big fight and she fled back to the underground city. When I went back to find her, she became the high priest and was pregnant. At that time, I didn't know that the child was my own, so I am extremely remorseful and vowed not to have any contact with him again, and at the same time I will not leak the news here."

"Since then, I stopped being hazy and started to practice hard, and started to be promoted continuously, and once became an elder of the Silent Church.

"I use the power I gained to constantly modify and adjust the contradiction between humans and genetically sequenced people. With the promulgation of the emperor's law, everything seems to be developing for the better. I want to go back and find her again."

"But, she died, and that's when I suddenly realized that compared to the mouse-shaped gene sequencer, a high-level transcendent like me has a much longer lifespan, but I saw me in my suicide note. His daughter, she looks very much like his mother, and her eyes are a bit like mine."

"So I secretly took her to the outside world and went to see the sea. Although due to legal issues, gene sequencers can appear openly, they still have to endure discrimination from others. Just like her mother, she cannot adapt to life on earth. Back underground again.”

“At that time, when the Silent Order was running for the new leader, I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

"I said sorry to the child. I didn't want anyone to find out that I gave birth to a child with a gene sequencer. That would become a point of attack for other tribes. It was also this time of weakness that made me regret it forever. "

Li Xiaoming couldn't believe that this man could be so hypocritical. No wonder he didn't even dare to open his eyes.

"Come and have some tea, don't be in a hurry and talk slowly, we have plenty of time."

Zhuang Mengxiao took a sip of tea and continued: "When I became the Great Hierarch, I had nightmares almost every day, so I came underground again, but what I faced was corpses littering the fields, people in ruins, and demons possessing me.

"It turned out that the illusion of the imprisoned evil god broke through the seal, and all the genetically sequenced people began to kill each other. I resisted with all my strength and found my daughter who had lost my mind. She had been possessed by the evil god.

"I was helpless. In order to prevent her from escaping, I cruelly sealed her in the crystal. This letter lasted for 100 years. I dare not bet on where the possessed evil god would go if the seal was unlocked. ?”

"I regret everything I have done. These unfortunate encounters have made me uneasy and my realm has directly regressed. I directly transferred the position of leader that I just inherited.

"Then I thought of Ramtia's mother. What she said was that if she sacrificed herself for the sake of the unity of the world, there will no longer be fair treatment, and all disasters will eventually stop."

"So I lay like this in the desert and slept for more than 60 years. In my dream, I recalled all kinds of experiences, especially the encounter with that girl. The phrase 'sacrifice myself to seek eternal happiness for the people of the world' echoed in my mind. , so I realized it!”

"Since then, there has been one less frustrated man in the world, and there has been one more patron saint in Titan City. 30 years ago was the moment when I entered the profession of a saint, and it was also the day that caused a strange phenomenon in the world.

"Although the dreamer class is no longer promoted, with the assistance of the saint profession, I still accomplished many things I wanted to do. From now on, there is no slave trade in Titan City, nor is there any smuggling of arms and weapons, and there are no more Tianwai. The threat of the gods..."

After Zhuang Mengxiao finished telling his story, there seemed to be no special emotion in his tone.

The dream master's control over emotions for more than 200 years has prevented him from causing any disturbance in his heart. Even his sentence of "guarding the world" has become less passionate and more dull over time. Now his responsibility is to protect the entire planet.

But there were tears in his eyes, and he didn't even know that he was crying. He should still be remembering the best memories of that girl in his mind.
