Even when a secret hidden here is discovered, the High Priest is still able to hold his breath... at this point he holds his hands under the scale, exhausting his full strength, but cannot lift it up.

It seems to have taken root on the ground… the High Priest soon abandoned this futile attempt.

He clapped the gray on his clap, stood up on his knees, facing the young guard in front of him, "I think I've encountered something I don't understand. Looks like Otto's replica outside not only brought Claudia, but even something unexpected... what are you? A lamp god with mysterious powers? ”

Young guard… Boss Lo is curious: “It seems that His Highness the High Priest really knows a lot from Mr. Otto… but I don't seem to see Mr. Otto here. ”

He means that there is no Otto present in these containers.

The High Priest said, "Unfortunately, Otto's body is difficult to capture, even though he has fallen into the City of the Sun. But that's okay. Otto's backup is in the scale anyway. ”

“Let's talk about it carefully. I have a few questions.” Boss Lo laughed and then waved, a stool appearing behind the high priest empty-handed.

The High Priest's body sat uncontrollably directly on the stool that appeared behind him and then moved forward, sending him directly to Lochu.

Round table, another chair... The boss sat down slowly and began to show up on the table with a teapot and cup for entertainment.

As Lochu poured tea into the cup, he said casually: "If you don't want to talk, you can stop at any time, but if you want to continue the conversation, could you ask His Highness the High Priest to put the remote under his sleeve down first... I probably won't get hurt if I blow this up completely. ”

The high priest stared dead at the young guard in front of him and finally put a remote control hidden in his sleeve on the table without a word... he frowned: “You want the scale, you want the material here... you can take it away from me clearly and easily, why are you discussing it with me? ”

“Based on a rule.” Boss Lo laughed, “And the rules are the rules. I've never meant to rob anyone of anything. You found the scale, and these people in the container are what you've collected over the years, and they can be considered your labor success, and they're yours. ”

The high priest couldn't help but frown... he could almost feel that this guy was not universally unobtrusive and walking around.

“What do you want to know.” For a moment of silence, the High Priest knew that when faced with an incomprehensible power, all he could do was compromise - not to mention the power of the scale, which seemed to be suppressed by the other.

“For example, how did the High Priest get this [balance of good and evil]?” Boss Lo thought about it.

The High Priest glanced coldly at Amanrana's position and was surprised to find that the flash emitted by the scale had not disappeared, still trapped Amanrana like a shelf, while the wound on her abdomen was still there, although the blood had stopped flowing... her time seemed to have stopped.

The high priest could also see a drop of blood suspended on the ground...

“Nothing special.” The High Priest said softly at this point: “I am just a very ordinary, war-torn victim, somewhere I can survive, and I flee somewhere. And I didn't know the way down, so I walked, and I walked, and I ran into the temple in the oasis, and I got this scale. What do you say, disappointed? ”

Boss Lo laughed: “Let's just say this is more real… If this is not an arrangement, but an inadvertent encounter, doesn't the High Priest think it's an interesting variable? ”

“Do you believe in destiny?” The high priest asked curiously.

The question was sudden and had nothing to do with his current situation, but he just wanted to ask.

“Can't say believe it.” Boss Lo thought about it: "But he won't deny it… If he denies it again, he won't be happy. ”

“How dare you say...” The High Priest couldn't help but laugh, as if he had seen a madman... but somehow, at this moment, his heart beats wildly, as if there was a voice in his brain that warned him, it was not a joke, it was true - there were people who could go about their destiny according to their will.

But.

Destiny?

Who is in charge of destiny… Even those who claim to have their destiny in their hands cannot predict what will happen tomorrow - he is likely to meet an accident tomorrow and die.

“Just think of it as a joke.” Boss Lo laughed: “Live up to the current atmosphere... after all, make me look more mysterious, I can take advantage of more in the conversation that follows... I have been studying business lately, so I will use some small means, I hope the High Priest doesn't mind. ”

“That is not the word of a qualified businessman.” The high priest shook his head.

“Probably.” Lochu couldn't let it go, "… when the scale was discovered, did the City of the Sun already exist? ”

The High Priest nodded and shook his head - he suddenly had a ridiculous feeling - why things had turned so sharply and something appeared that he could not understand when he had clearly manipulated everything… it was like a joke, a fateful joke.

Perhaps all creatures are just toys in the hands of fate.

“When I found the City of the Sun, it was just a dead city. The High Priest recalled:" The balance possesses the ability to weigh a man's good and evil, and to divide them. ”

“Are the inhabitants of the city divided by this ability?” Lochu thought, "Split souls, divided souls are reborn, just like the tail of a gecko… no wonder you can copy two identical people intact. ”

Boss Lo shook his head: “Yamanlana told me that the people in the pool were all segmented and belonged to the ugly side. They were the batteries that existed to provide the energy consumption for this city of the sun, and now it seems that the high priest did not tell Yamanlana the truth. ”

“Oh?” the high priest closed his eyes.

Boss Lo casually said: "If, as Yamanlana has explained, there is naturally no way to explain the people in these containers… after all, from what I have seen, Yamanlana… Claudia, there are now three. ”

The sleeping one in the container, which was stabbed through the abdomen by the high priest, and the one who was directing people in the palace against the giant beast.

“You... you know Claudia?” The high priest suddenly asked in silence.

“We're classmates, aren't we?” The boss said frankly: "Recently, for personal reasons, I enrolled in the school where Claudia's classmates are… so I also know a little bit about the High Priest, about you, Professor Shegatu. By the way, the reason we came to the desert was because Claudia asked us to find out where Professor Shegatu had disappeared. ”

The high priest was silent.

Boss Lo's patience waits well.

The high priest calmed down, “I didn't think she'd find me here... it looks like I'm in the outside world, or did something unexpected. ”

“Hmm...” Boss Lo thought: "It seems that the soul divided by the scale also has some flaws. ”

The High Priest said softly: "After all, it is divided between the good and the evil. There will be some differences in character and behaviour. ”

“What about the High Priest?” Boss Lo asked curiously, "Which one are you? ”

“I'm Shegatu. ”

Boss Luo nodded, “If the time away from the temple is too long, the one outside... the one outside that split up, will it sanitize? ”

“They have no way of sustaining it for how long.” The High Priest said helplessly: "Their bodies were created from the sand of the desert here, and the implanted souls gave them the ability to act, but leaving the temple… is actually too long to leave the balance, and their souls will not be replenished with strength. The soul will disappear and the body will naturally become sand. ”

“Too bad.” Boss Lo suddenly shook his head.

The high priest frowned: "What is a pity? ”

"Looks like the soul that the scale is made of is only a disposable consumable," said Boss Luo. No matter how good the quality may be, it cannot be preserved for a long time… this soul is not even valuable. But in terms of the ability of the scale itself, it is already priceless. ”

The High Priest sighed: "The conversion of matter is subject to the rule of reciprocity. ”

“Those giant beasts in the desert...” Lochu shook his head: “It's actually the ugly side of these people being divided. The folk winds in the City of the Sun are quite simple, although some inhabitants have bred bad habits, but I see they are not bad in nature, are they the good side... but even the good side cannot guarantee that they will not stain bad habits - of course, if someone controls the spread of desire in the back, it will spread quickly... like a snake in Eden. ”

“Pure human beings are more susceptible to temptation.” The High Priest smiled softly, "an interesting experiment. As for the giant beasts in the desert, their origins are indeed the ugly side of division. I started two experiments simultaneously in the City of the Sun to teach the desires of good people and try to make the ugly side learn gratitude. But unfortunately, people on the ugly side can't learn to be grateful, and even fall into madness because of the good injection, eventually mutating into a giant beast that only breaks... and when good people, when they infect their desires, become giant beasts as well. Different categories, different methods, but with the same results. ”

Boss Lo asked curiously: "What is the conclusion reached by His Highness the High Priest? ”

The High Priest had no expression: “Man, mad by virtue of goodness, self-destruction by desire… man, from birth, has been on a path of self-destruction. War, aggression, fighting for loved ones, fighting for family, fighting for the country, winning, not satisfied, never stopping... all that remains is sadness. ”

Boss Lo thought, "Under modern civilization, there are many happy individuals who are a tiny family. ”

“But the aggression is still there, just changing the pattern.” The High Priest scoffed: “The civilization process is still barbaric, with many trying to recover, but not more humans… There has been only one human destiny since Eve took the apple out of Eden. ”

“The fate of mankind…”

Boss Lo thinks of Alayer and does not intend to refute the words of the High Priest - there is indeed only one fate of countless sub-worlds under the entire Alayer system… unless one of these sub-worlds can be transformed into a perfect world.

He is now in sub-world 003, which was already in the process of annihilation, but was postponed by Harsheng for decades.

“You can't argue with that, can you?” The High Priest's eyes are bright at the moment, "because everything I say is happening every day, and the outside world is always in a tragedy that can't be helped... trust me. ”

Boss Luo glanced at the High Priest and said, “Sir, I didn't mean to disprove your point of view. I simply wanted to understand your idea... so I didn't have to do anything superfluous with me and try to disturb my words...”

The High Priest was in a strange face at this time.

Heart ache, cold sweat, brain as if it was about to blow up at any moment, he felt an unprecedented weakness, panic, fear... the claw of death as if it had caught his heart firmly.

But this feeling, just between moments… between moments, he felt a sense of disintegration.

“Feeling better? ”

The high priest nodded with a pale face and a slight awe in his bitter smile: "Being like you probably never felt destiny manipulating you. ”

“Perhaps…” Boss Lo shook his head: "I'll be here today, and it's a fateful arrangement. But the fate you can see, the cognitive, the believing fate, is somewhat different from the fate I can understand. ”

“What an envy...” the High Priest sighed heavily at the moment: "Like a black slave living in Africa, you can never believe the luxury of a European and Turkish aristocrat's home... what is your existence? God, the devil... or a new creature that transcends human evolution? ”

“Me?” said Boss Lo with a smile. "I am me, only one identity… just like you, the High Priest, only one identity. ”

He was silent, and it took a while for the color to say: “I need to make the perfect [vessel], awaken the remnants of the scale, and fully master the power of the scale. Only in this way can good and evil be separated from the world… the best way to make Eden eternal is to keep Eve from picking that apple - but first, I need Eden to show up! ”
