The red gem, like a drop of bright red blood,

Falling down, clicking into the void.

The last gap in the Box of Truth was finally filled with blood.

The small box lit up in Lin Yuan's palm.

In the past, this was a shabby wooden box. To Lin Yuan, it was just a relic of his parents, a map to show the way, and a key to explore secrets.

It was not until the last time she saw such a vast spiritual universe in the box that she realized that this small wooden box contained a power more powerful than she had imagined.

Finish it.

Use this power to reach that elusive hope of life.

But the price was a bit high. The ground was covered with severed tentacles. Occasionally, a few severed legs were still twitching in a pool of blood, and red blood was slowly spreading.

Lin Yuan sat in this blood-red scene, with a bright light shining in the palm of her hand.

The light spread outward with her as the center, breaking through the thick black smoke and forming a tall tower made of white bones.

The smoke and gunfire of the battle were still rumbling at the base of the White Tower.

A dazzling light lit up at the top of the white tower.

Almost everyone in the empire saw this scene.

The light that lit up on the top of the tower was not that kind of divine holy glory, but rather the cold fluorescence of human technological products.

A dot of white light diffused from the top of the tower, turning into a translucent virtual screen, slowly unfolding in mid-air, floating down around the pure white tower.

The slowly descending virtual screen glowed, and a picture appeared on it.

The scene looks mysterious, but the scene appearing on the screen is not fantasy.

Just some ordinary human faces, some real things that happened.

One after another, soft virtual screens floated out from the white light on the top of the tower, surrounding the tall white tower and slowly falling down.

On the huge screen, the events that have happened on the land under human feet are played in a scrolling manner.

The real history, without any tampering or modification. It is the true history of mankind.

The scenes that Lin Yuan had seen in the corridors of the Tiger-Eating City, on the walls of the temple in the Land of No Pupils, on the stone walls of the underground nest of the Golden Tree, and on the white gate of the Contaminated Area No. 5 were now displayed one by one in broad daylight.

Surrounding the white pagoda, under the bright sunshine, it appears before the world.

From the invasion of the human world to the reasons for the appearance of Sentinels and Guides.

From the White Tower being the product of humanity's kneeling down, to the Empire being a pasture where monsters keep humans in captivity.

Frame by frame, scene by scene, tells the truth.

The officials of the empire personally delivered their compatriots to the monster's bloody mouth.

Those young lives that died tragically in the contaminated area were merely sacrifices offered by humanity to the enemy in its prayer for survival.

Every time the Box of Truth is inlaid with gems, a miniature virtual scene will appear.

No one knew that after it was completed, it would present such a stunning scene, magnificently displaying the blood-stained history of mankind.

Pieces of screens fell from the high tower like snowflakes, randomly scrolling and playing the secrets of the empire's history that were unknown to most people.

Everyone looked up.

Whether they were sentinels guarding remote places, children running in fishing villages, or passers-by walking in slums, one by one, they all stopped.

More and more eyes are gathering in front of the various screens of all sizes across the empire.

Even the sound of artillery fire from both the attacking and defending sides in the battle paused for a moment.

Originally, the TV was playing the Empire Succession Adulthood Ceremony in a rotating carousel.

I don't know who hacked the camera, but when the revolutionary army rushed into the White Tower, the video screen never stopped.

Those who had gathered in front of the screen to watch the Book Sealing Ceremony saw the live broadcast of the battle to invade the White Tower.

At this moment, the camera outside the White Tower was aimed at the screens falling from the White Tower.

The massive information explosion has generally overturned the three views of countless people.

The chaotic brain was washed back and forth by the horrifying truth, and everyone in every corner of the entire empire was stunned.

In front of an old TV on the side of a slum road, an old man with a broken leg reacted and pointed at a face frozen on the screen with a trembling hand.

"That's my child, my son!"

Everyone living here knows that Lame Zhang Ben had an excellent son who was a sentry, but he died in a contaminated area a few years ago.

After that, Lao Zhang went crazy and acted like a madman every day. He even broke his leg.

There was a little blood on the face of the child on the screen. He looked back outside the camera, then turned around and rushed towards the monster in the contaminated area without looking back.

This is a child who grew up in front of everyone on this street and finally became a sentry. He is the pride of his father.

It turned out to be just a sacrifice.

The child was caught by the monster, and a red bloody rain splashed all over the screen on TV.

"Ah! Damn it!" Lame Zhang rushed forward frantically, holding the small, worn-out TV and shaking it, "Give my son back! Give my child back to me!"

In the dirty alley, the people gathered in front of the screen fell silent. Only the madman was still shouting.

In the distance, the sound of artillery fire continued from the "white" tower.

A pair of hateful eyes rose from this inconspicuous alley and cast towards the tall tower.

It is not just this old man who has shed tears of blood. Almost everyone here has family members whose flesh and blood have been thrown into the contaminated area.

It turns out that we are just sacrifices, poultry, to feed the very few people who hide in the White Tower and live a life of drunkenness and sleep.

Destroy that tower!

Destroy that tower!

Such voices of the heart were like clarion calls, and they began to resound in every corner of the empire.

Like waves and huge billows, it spread across the entire empire.

If at the beginning, only a few underground organization fighters raised the banner of resistance.

When the truth was revealed frame by frame, the flames of hatred ignited in the hearts of all the civilians in the empire.

In the White Tower, a captain of the Royal Guard pushed his subordinate beside him and yelled angrily.

"Hurry, what are you doing standing there? Go get more weapons! We must defend this place and cannot retreat any further."

The young warrior shook his body, turned around blankly, and pointed at the TV screen embedded in the wall.

"Sir, did you see that?"

Amid the smoke of war, the TV on the nearby wall was still on. No one was watching it, and it was emitting a cold light on its own.

On the screen, a huge Royal Airship floated in the air. A young guide was riding on the airship and was quietly sent into the contaminated area by the escort team.

"Stupid thing, that's just a trick used by the enemy to confuse the people. You believe in such a trick." The captain raised his hand and fired a few shots, smashing the outrageous screen.

The video that was lit up shattered and the crispy pieces fell to the ground.

"But I have seen that child before." The young soldier said hesitantly, "I was the one who sent her to the contaminated area that time."

"The guide was lovely. She even gave me some spiritual counseling during the ride on the airship."

The captain wanted to interrupt him eagerly, "Shut up, shut up, watch your words and actions!"

The young soldier who had been very obedient did not stop talking. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. "I always found it very strange why you kept it a secret from everyone and sent the powerless guide there. You didn't let me ask at that time."

His voice gradually became firm from initial hesitation, and finally he raised his head and sneered, "So, this is what you do!"

Beside him, his companions in the trench turned their heads one by one and looked at him who was speaking.

"Don't forget, you are a noble!" The captain's roar was filled with rage as if the truth had been revealed. "You are a sentinel of the Royal Guard! Guarding the tower is your responsibility!"

The young nobleman grabbed the medal on his shoulder and tore off the golden armband.

"What nobles, what Royal Guards, I don't want to do that anymore."

He threw the bit of gold into the dust at his feet and turned to leave the trench he was supposed to guard.

After a moment, several people looked at their superiors, then stood up and left.

The team leader opened his mouth to shout, but his eyes finally fell on the fragments of the electronic screens.

The screen here was shattered, but he knew he couldn't shatter what really happened.

In the secret academy at the top of the White Tower, Lin Yuan placed the Box of Truth, which was still glowing, on the ground.

My arms seem to have no strength left. I can't even lift a small box like this.

She let her hands hang by her side with her last words.

"Don't disconnect the communication, Lin Yuan." Ni Ji's voice came from the personal terminal.

She could still see Ni Ji's face.

On the screen, the sentry's brows were tightly knitted together, his eyes were purple, and his face was very solemn. The scenery behind him was rapidly receding, and there was a loud sound of gunfire.

He is still very far away from me.

Lin Yuan looked at Ni Ji on the virtual screen with longing for a while.

The sound of crying echoed in the shattered black fog on all sides.

女王的?精神體?潰散了，變成散落在?四周的?濃黑液體?。

那些黑色的?污泥散發着霧氣，在?四面周來回扭動，一次次緩緩凝聚，又一次次失敗潰散。

最開始，還會發出一些林苑聽得懂的?咒罵聲。漸漸的?，那種各式各樣古怪的?腔調就變得含混不清，林苑已?經聽不清了。

林苑覺得打?敗女王的?其實并不是自己。

好?幾次，精神體?沖撞得最兇險的?時候，強大的?女王突然會卡頓。

或者是一個孩子的?手臂伸出來，掐住了她?的?脖子。

或者是一個哨兵的?面孔詭異浮現，打?斷了她?的?動作。

不可?否認帝國的?女王陛下擁有無比強大的?精神體?，是這個世間的?強者。

林苑甚至覺得，不僅自己不是她?的?對手，即便是那位花海中的?食龐女王來到這裏，也未必能在?實力上?更勝她?一籌。

這位高?居塔頂數百年的?帝王，是輸給?她?自己的?。

她?渴望着力量，成為了權力的?奴隸。

她?為了得到強大的?力量吞噬了無數人，那些不甘和憤怒的?意志殘留在?她?的?身體?中，最終撕裂了她?。

在?最後那一次，林苑已?經幾乎沒有力氣的?時候，金色的?黃金樹枝突然出現，出現在?她?的?腳邊。

林苑多了一個踏足點，踩着自己朋友的?金色胳膊，在?力氣用盡的?時刻，伸手搶到那條血紅的?項鏈。

摔回觸手堆的?林苑幾乎爬不起身來，祭臺上?濃煙滾滾的?帝王也在?那一刻終于支撐不住，慘白?的?身軀一寸寸裂開，崩塌成滿地破碎的?白?骨。

碎裂的?白?骨嘩啦一聲垮在?高?臺。

精神力的?戰鬥讓兩?個人都狼狽地滾落在?地上?。

林苑顫抖着手臂，勉力從滿地鮮血淋漓的?斷肢中坐起，把紅色寶石鑲嵌進真理之盒。

再擡頭的?時候，祭壇的?正中心，女王零碎的?身體?已?經不見了。

只留着半塊描繪了紅唇，面具一樣的?臉。

像是半張殘破的?面具落在?祭壇上?。面紗破碎，白?紗下那雙眼睛注視着祭壇外的?林苑。

兩?個人凝望着彼此，都沒有說話?。

一個身體?崩潰，精神體?被毀滅，潰散在?祭臺上?。另外一個鮮血淋漓，斬斷了自己無數的?觸手，坐在?血泊中。

打?了這樣一場慘烈的?戰鬥，一般的?鮮血淋漓，一樣的?身軀殘破，都已?在?瀕死的?邊緣。

她?們凝視着眼前的?敵人。

最後，林苑聽見了一聲長?長?的?嘆息聲。

黑色的?濃霧中響起了哭聲，各種各樣的?靈魂發出的?哭泣聲從四周濃黑的?煙霧中響起。

那些淤泥般的?黑霧不再像之前那樣努力想要拼湊自己。它們漫無目的?的?流動，一點點滲透進地底白?色的?石磚。

四周的?一切，似乎開始融化。

大地在?搖晃，塔在?振動，鋪地的?磚石紛紛掉落下陷。

頭頂不知道什麽時候照射進來一線陽光，林苑擡起頭，才發現白?塔的?頂部融解了。

塔尖的?外牆像是融化的?蠟燭，正一點點地往下流淌。牆壁缺了一塊，可?以透過缺口看見天空中的?太陽。

學院外圍的?那些孩子好?像都在?往外跑。林苑當然也知道應該立刻離開這裏，這個地方快要塌陷了。

但?她?已?經完全沒有了力氣，觸手們斷的?太多，每一條都是為了在?戰鬥中不被侵蝕親手割斷的?。

現在?的?她?甚至沒有一條能動的?腿。

身體?很?疼，精神體?更是痛苦。

林苑挪了挪身體?，勉強找了一塊堅固一點的?石牆，把自己殘缺的?身體?靠在?那裏。

周圍的?一切都在?墜落，在?往下溶解。她?希望自己能掉落得慢一點。

“堅持住，等我一下。等我。好?不好?？”倪霁的?聲音從虛拟屏幕中傳來。

說到後面，他的?語氣聽起來甚至很?可?憐，帶着一點懇求，好?像生怕自己不肯等他。

他是一個非常敏銳的?人，已?經看見這裏發生的?一切。

“好?呀，我等着你。”林苑看着屏幕上?哨兵的?臉，他飛奔攀爬的?樣子很?帥氣，好?想多看一會。

林苑想起自己曾經好?像說過會讓他快樂，讓他過的?幸福。

哪怕沒有用語言說出來，精神圖景的?交彙時，也确定有這樣哄着他，向他許諾過。

但?自己好?像一直做得不太好?。就沒有讓他高?興過幾次。

眼前的?屏幕突然變得黑了，畫面被無數的?煙土覆蓋。

不知道這個哨兵為了能夠一路沖上?來找尋自己，又做了什麽。

林苑擡起頭，透過頭頂那個小小的?缺口看天空。

今天的?天空格外晴朗，像是被洗過的?藍寶石。只是很?奇怪，為什麽天空的?雲朵是白?色的?。

不要緊了，白?色的?雲朵看起來真美。

好?像是棉花糖一樣。

林苑覺得自己的?身體?很?冷，很?想要在?這個時候吃一口甜的?東西。

白?塔底層。

一個沖鋒在?前方的?戰士，突然被從牆壁中伸出的?一條白?色手臂拽住腳踝。

數百條詭異的?手臂齊齊從牆體?中伸出，扯住了他的?腳，環繞住他的?腰部，把他往牆磚裏拖。

“是畸變種！”有人高?喊。

他身後的?夥伴看見了着詭異的?一幕，立刻開火，想要擊斷那些突然來襲的?詭異手臂。

卻沒能來得及，詭異的?觸手一條條覆蓋，将自己的?獵物包裹着一個白?的?肉繭。

很?快有紅色血液從蠕動的?白?色縫隙中流出。

白?塔牆壁上?的?一塊聖磚掉落下來。

那塊骨白?色的?方磚在?地上?蠕動了片刻，變化成了一只沒有眼睛的?古怪畸變種，怪物扭了扭身軀，呲開利齒，朝人群中飛奔過去。

白?塔的?牆壁上?，那塊掉落了石磚的?位置空缺，戶外的?陽光透過那個空洞照射進白?塔內部。

一塊磚掉落，又一塊石磚掉落，從來不曾被陽光照入的?白?塔出現了斑斑點點的?孔洞。

無數的?陽光照射進塔內。

那些掉落的?骨磚，變成了一只只的?畸變種，在?白?塔中橫沖直撞。

入侵白?塔的?軍團在?這一刻遭遇到了入塔以來最恐怖的?截殺。

到處都是畸變種。

不同類型，不同外貌的?怪物由白?塔的?牆磚所化，一只只扭動着從牆壁上?爬下來。

更高?一點的?地方，匆匆後退的?皇家哨兵扭頭被怪物的?利爪抓走。

守衛白?塔的?衛隊不得不在?匆忙間調轉槍頭對準了白?塔的?石壁。

是真的?。

原來視頻上?播放的?那些都是真實。

到了現在?，沒人再否認了。

千瘡百孔的?塔，進進出出的?怪，數百年來，一直守護着人類的?白?塔，竟然是由怪物的?骨頭建成。

轟然炮響。

炮彈轟在?巨型怪物的?身上?。一個戰士從煙火中滾出來，被沖擊波轟得起不了身。

下一刻，一只手臂從掩體?後伸出來，連抓帶拽把他拖入躲避點。

兩?個灰頭土臉的?戰士碰了一下眼神。發現一個蒙着逆匪的?面巾，一個帶着皇家衛隊的?臂章。

皇家衛隊的?哨兵尴尬了一下會。

但?不管上?頭的?貴族長?官們怎麽發脾氣。在?這種時候，他已?經不想把槍口再對準自己的?同類了。

“往這裏。這底下有個躲避點。還有彈藥。”

戴着黑巾的?入侵者迅速跑過來，跟在?戴着金色臂章的?衛兵身後摸進了躲避點。

躲避點外，畸變種醜陋的?面孔出現。

這一刻，槍口被調轉，火炮再一次架了起來。

對準的?不再是自己的?同類。

白?塔之外，一位記者睜大了眼睛。

他冒着炮火抗着攝像機潛伏在?附近悄悄拍攝，本是一個膽子很?大的?攝影師。

卻也被眼前的?景象震驚地說不出話?來。

在?他的?鏡頭前，那座擎天巨塔從塔頂開始，緩緩融化。

光潔的?聖塔外壁蟲蛀一般出現了一個又一個空缺，醜陋的?畸變種從那些空洞中緩緩爬出。

聖潔的?高?塔，變得千瘡百孔。

“塔化了！”扛着攝影機的?記者喃喃道。

擡頭看去，就連帝國的?天空，似乎在?一點點的?退去顏色。像是一塊謝幕的?幕布，在?天空緩緩垂落。

露出了真正挂着驕陽，白?雲朵朵的?藍天。
