I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
(This chapter must be a big cup!)
Reality, in a private house in an unknown province or city.
This is an old two-bedroom house on the 4th floor. It is not large, but it has a strong atmosphere of life.
The room is cluttered with all kinds of things. If you look closely, you can find all the traces of a person from childhood to adulthood here.
Toys, graffiti, textbooks, posters, figurines, suitcases...
Each piece retains its original position and appearance before the arrival of the Gods, without any change.
For as long as half a year, not even a trace of dust accumulated on their surface.
As for the reason...it's obvious that someone has been wiping it.
This is the old house of the Cui family, where Cui Qiushi and his father Cui Dingtian live.
For the previous eighteen years, two people had lived here.
Later, for well-known reasons, the owner of this place changed, but not long after, the old man of the Cui family returned here again.
Although it cost some money, he felt it was worth it.
But the old man didn’t know why the homesick Qiushi didn’t choose to come back. He didn’t want to guess, didn’t want to think about it, and didn’t dare to think about it.
In fact, in the previous trial, Cheng Shi wanted to ask Cui Dingtian why he didn't participate in the [Prayer Trial] to find someone, but later he figured it out.
It’s not that Mr. Cui doesn’t want to, it’s that he doesn’t dare.
But today, he changed his mind.
Because he has no time to wait, he only has...the last 3 days left to live.
Cui Dingtian took a rag in his hand and gently wiped his son's favorite model. The scene of the previous trial with the ground full of [Divinity] came to his mind again.
If I could have taken some at that time, even if I had secretly hidden a portion...
No, Cheng Shi has already promised him, so it definitely doesn’t count as stealing!
Just one copy, maybe his life could be extended for a while.
But he gave up.
He understands human nature and what greed is.
In the past, he might have been able to resist the temptation of greed, but not now. Before the end of his life, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.
Once he opens that door, he will jump straight into the abyss.
But this choice has left him with no other options.
Do you regret it?
regret!
But if I had the chance to choose again...
The old man still chose to regret.
My father named me Cui Dingtian, because he wanted me to live an upright life and be a man of integrity!
The old man wiped every corner of the house, washed the rag, tidied his clothes, sat in Qiushi's room, and finally touched Qiushi's suitcase.
In those clear old eyes, there is endless yearning and also... the expectation of reunion...
“All living things shall decay, all things shall perish.
Your devout believers pray to you to start a trial..."
...
Reality, a vegetable garden in a barren mountain in an unknown province or city.
Before Tao Yi opened her eyes, she heard the phone ringing.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
There were no Internet or telephone lines on the barren mountain. As for whether the rotary phone on the table was connected to the void or something else, she had no idea.
It was a gift from a friend of hers on her last birthday, two months ago.
Tao Yi smiled and stood up, pretending not to hear the phone call.
She walked towards the endless hillside terraces in front of her, took out a stream of light from the space in her pocket, and carefully sprinkled it on the fields at her feet.
Only after all the "fertilizing" work was completed did he leisurely return to the place where he woke up and answered the phone that was still ringing.
"Hello?"
"You deliberately didn't answer my call, didn't you, Xiao Yiyi? You've changed your mind."
"No, I was applying fertilizer and didn't have time."
"Really? I doubt your excuse, but considering my good mood, I'll let you off this time."
"What happened to make you so happy?"
"We ran into that lunatic today. You know what? Although he's crazy, he's really generous. The four of us divided up a few fragments of the [Divinity], which is a small gain."
"Oh, what a coincidence! I also found a little bit of [divinity] today, and I used the method you mentioned to spread it as fertilizer."
"Is it useful?"
"It seems that for the time being, not yet."
"Well, I just happened to look through the biological experiment records of the Tower of Physics. I don't know if they are reliable or not. You..."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to want to say something, but Tao Yi suddenly interrupted him and asked:
"By the way, have you ever done any human experiments?"
"Uh... huh? Too many. Which ones do you mean?"
"Something like sealing the [divinity] inside someone else's body."
"I'm sick? I can't hide it on my body. What kind of a stupid question is this? Why are you asking this?"
"When did you join the Society of Physical Science?"
"Ah? What am I......"
Tao Yi interrupted again: "I used the thing you gave me."
"No, Xiao Yiyi, you look a little weird today, I..."
"Oh, I forgot to water the plants. I'll go get busy now."
After saying that, Tao Yi decisively hung up the phone.
She stood on the hillside, facing the sunshine, squinting her eyes and smiling.
It looked like a little fox that had smelled a secret.
As for the other end of the phone...
“Beep, beep, beep—”
"?"
...
Reality: an apartment in an unknown province or city.
