Gate of Apocalypse

“Thank you, Adam. ”

Chen stood up and walked to Adam: "Where? ”

“It's really deep. It took me a lot of effort to find it ~” Adam looked at the stars with a smile: “This is not part of our previous agreement! ”

“Okay, I get it.” Chen smile: “So, what do you want me to trade? ”

“Hmm...” Adam chewed his lips for a while and thought: “A candy house! Big one! It has to be as big as a castle! ”

“Okay, that's settled, a candy castle.” Chen touched Adam's head: “Tell me how to get the keys here. ”

“Awesome!” Adam jumped up, jumped a few times in place, held Chen's hand and ran towards the corner of the garden.

“Chen!” Orange also stood up, gloomy and uncertain, quickly following Chen: “Do you have to do this! ”

“I'm sorry.” Chen shook her head gently, but she didn't look back.

Adam ran under a bush, looked left and right, stood under a tree, pointing to the position of the root of the tree: "Here it is! Dig!”

“Dry Adam.” Chen smiled, kneeling down and pulling the dirt out of his front with his hands.

Orange opens its mouth and still hasn't spoken.

In a moment, Chen has dug out a small pit. On the root of a tree in front of you, surrounded by a long red hair, is shining brightly.

“Projecting with a part of the body is only necessary to maintain the shape so that it can be hidden so well that I can't even feel it.” Chen carefully untied the redhead, stood up and turned her head to look at the orange: “She is indeed smart. Knowing that even leaving a powerful split won't hold me back by force, I simply didn't give you any fighting power. ”

“Not to give.” Orange shakes head: “I told you, unlike the one you left behind, I'm not a shadow. It was me who made the choice to give up all power. After all, there is no point in fighting you. ”

“I understand.” Chen reaches out and gently presses on the orange face: “Do you have anything else to say? ”

“For whatever reason, if you can't tell me the answer, then answer me at least one question.” Orange sighed gently: “Are you... sorry? ”

For a moment of silence, there was no nodding and no shaking of head: “Standing back now, I had other options, even better ones. And after I made that decision, I didn't get the results I wanted. Anyway, always I'm sorry for you. But..."

He sighed, slowly: "None of us are gods, unable to predict the future. No one can make the right decision forever, standing at the crossroads of history. Everyone makes mistakes, but it is impossible to go back to the moment of the decision with later memories. So for me, the word regret will never exist. ”

“Well... I see what you mean.” Orange revealed a smile, reaching out and pressing his hand against his cheek, Chen's hand on the back: “Do it. ”

Chen nodded slowly, the redhead in the palm of his left hand suddenly burned and a few seconds later turned into a small group of ashes.

And as the redhead burned, the orange in front of the sun began to dissipate a little bit.

Starting with that redhead, it gradually turned into flying ash.

Chen's posture remained unchanged, holding out her right hand and touching her cheek.

Until the orange completely disappeared into the air, Chen slowly let go of his hand.

On the ground, a key is shining.

“Sorry, orange. ”

He picked up the key unemotionally and walked towards the door that appeared in front of him.

……

Beach, sea breeze, sunlight.

The waves fluttered gently and slapped the sand on the shore.

Swinging over the beach, there is only a large umbrella covering a beach chair.

Put a cup of black tea on a small table next to the beach chair. There are no half-sale kiosks around, but the black tea cup walls are condensed with a grain of small water beads that emit a cool air of white silk.

Orange in a bikini swimsuit lay on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses, took a sip of black tea, and when I was about to put it back on the table, my hands shook somehow.

The glass slipped out of your hand and fell on the beach. It didn't break, but the black tea and ice spilled all over the ground, leaving a wet mark on the sand.

For a moment, a slight pain flashed over my scalp, like a hair was pulled out.

“At last… is this the day? ”

Orange lowered his head and looked at the glass on the ground, waving gently, the wet marks on the glass and the sand grain instantly disappeared.

She stood up and the beach chairs and umbrellas behind her disappeared in turn, and even the surrounding beaches and waves were instantly emptied as if they had been wiped off by a blackboard.

The world around oranges turns into a white plate.

And she didn't do the next move, she just stood still and didn't move a single finger for half an hour.

After standing so long, a space crack suddenly appeared in front of her.

A pony boot with a variety of spikes and metal rings stepped in and stepped on the ground, making a crisp noise.

“Gabriel? Get out of here!”

Oranges look up, like they're going to kill one's eyes and project death on one another.

“Why are you so grumpy? Big Aunt is here?” Punk teenager hippie smiled and waved at the orange orange and had stepped into the space.

“Have you forgotten our agreement? How dare you step into my space without my invitation?” Orange bites his teeth.

Gabriel shrugged and exaggerated: “I can feel your emotional fluctuations next door. I was afraid you were in a bad mood to wipe your neck, so I came to see you. Faced with my concern, aren't you touched?! ”

“Don't worry about it. Now, please get out.” An orange right arm strikes and a giant long sword has appeared in the palm of your hand: “Otherwise, I will kill you. ”

“Come on.” Gabriel opened his mouth and beat him: “The two of us... don't say we killed each other, even if we can beat each other, we don't have to share this copy until now. Why are you making me laugh when there's no value in this threat? ”

Oranges whispered softly, no more talking, and the next moment the man appeared in front of Gabriel.

Almost one and a half feet tall and a meter wide, the sword is thicker than a long sword, rather than a door panel. In the orange hand, however, it floated like a piece of paper and quickly chopped into Gabriel.

“Alas... 1263 times...”

Gabriel sighed helplessly, reaching out and pressing faintly in front of him, a sphere sidebar on the chopping trajectory of the Orange Sword.

The sphere was surrounded by crackling electric light, but the center was a distorted space. When it was cut off by a giant sword, it suddenly flashed and then disappeared.

And the sword, suddenly suddenly sucked into the center of the light sphere from the orange hand, as it was extinguished together.

Orange, however, seemed to have expected all of this, and by the time the sword disappeared, a bigger axe had been held in his left hand and beheaded towards Gabriel.

Once again, however, Gabriel's palm pops up with a light ball, and the axe is similarly extinguished by the flashing of the light ball.

Enough! Cut it out! ”

After two Orange attacks, Gabriel grabbed the void and flew backwards, widening the distance between his eyes.

Orange, however, was like a maggot of bone, unable to see how she was pushing her legs, not even the course of the flight, but flashed and reappeared beside Gabriel.

Gabriel kept summoning light balls and swallowing up orange weapons, while orange oranges always had a slight hand gesture, holding a new weapon in the palm of her hand, and each one was huge enough to exceed her own figure.

With such a huge weapon, the orange is still as agile as a ghost.

“Shit!”

Gabriel raced two or three times, watching the oranges without any sign of stopping, and finally got angry.

“What, are we gonna fight back? ”

Orange laughed coldly, grabbing a giant hammer with his right hand and smashing it high against Gabriel's head.

But this time, Gabriel unexpectedly didn't fight, didn't fight back, didn't even dodge.

He stopped in shape, standing in place, and was raw and struck over his head by the hammer.

With a bang, Gabriel shook his body, and the siege hammer scattered in pieces because he couldn't bear the power.

I had no idea I was going to hit it smoothly, and the Orange had suddenly stagnated and looked at Gabriel with surprise.

“Isn't that great? If you don't like it, will you hit me again?” Gabriel rubbed his right hand over his head and smiled bitterly: “Or twice... definitely not more than three times! You hit too hard, it hurts. ”

“…” Orange stared coldly at Gabriel for a moment, snorted coldly, and the fragments of the attack hammer on the ground disappeared at the same time: “Tell me, what are you doing here? Don't say shit that makes me feel bad. ”

“No more fighting? This is our only chance. I won't let you keep it, next time there will be no such privilege.” Gabriel's still rubbing his head: “Are you sure? ”

Orange glanced violently, the light flowed in his right hand, a long knife appeared in the palm of his hand: "Okay, then stand still and let me stab you again. ”

This time, unlike every previous weapon. The knife does not have an entity, it is just an illusion, if any, with a hidden contour only at the edge of the sword.

Seeing the sword, Gabriel's color mutated, he hurried back and waved his hands quickly: "Hey, hey, hey! Orange, you're not serious! You even took out a dimensional tear knife? Standing still lets you stab me with it... I'm not an idiot! ”

“Aren't you going to treat me well?” Orange laughs.

“Forget it... you're tough!” Gabriel laughed bitterly: “Put it away. ”

The orange glanced contemptuously and the dimensional tear knife vanished from sight.

“Actually, you should know roughly why I came to you.” Gabriel saw the orange put away the dimensional tear knife and took a gentle breath of relief: “Now that I've sensed it, then... there should be no reason not to feel it. The door... was opened. ”

“I know.” Orange nodded.

“So... is that why you're angry?” Gabriel looked around at the vast white space: “I said, this is your room, get something out of it, will you? It's really silly to stand and chat like this, put at least two chairs on it. ”

Orange glanced cold at Gabriel, and the next moment, the scenery around them instantly refreshed, turning from a white space into a green garden.

A pebble-laid trail through colorful blooms of colorful rainbows.

In front of them is a small log table and two chairs.

“Thanks. ”

Without waiting for the orange to sit down first, Gabriel had already sat on the chair in a big grip, lifting Erlang's leg: “I didn't expect him to go back. ”

“Who are you talking about?” Orange orange sat down, indifferently.

“You don't have to ask?” Gabriel rolled his eyes: “Wasn't that the guy with the metallic data stream? Chen was trapped for 33 days. Well —— I almost forgot, the place is now called Zero City. Now that someone's opened the door, it's probably the guy who did it anyway, right? ”

“So what?” Orange stretched out its hand to the table in front of it, and a cup of hot tea appeared right in front of it. She took a sip and faded away.

“What do you say?” Gabriel shouted exaggerated: "Don't you realize the seriousness of the problem! Since that great collapse, we have all come to a consensus, thirty-three days, not that ‘final solution', and abandoned it together. And now that Chen is back and trying to get the highest control, that means...

He may… have found the 'right path’! ”
