Chapter 47
Chapter 47
A four or five-year-old girl appeared in Mozart's sight. Her long tea-brown hair was tied behind her head and braided into braids. Her face was flushed red, and her big twinkling eyes resembled the wings of a butterfly. She was really cute. .She was grabbing Mozart's sleeve to pull Mozart up from the grass.
Mozart had the anger of being woken up while sleeping, but when he saw this little girl for the first time, the anger in his heart disappeared without a trace, leaving only the pampering in his heart.He stood up helplessly: "Okay, okay, wake up, don't shake."
When Mozart stood up, he suddenly found that his eyes were on the same level as the little girl, that is to say, he was as tall as her.How can this be!Where did my height of 1.8 meters go?Has it shrunk yet?
Before he could figure out where his height was, he found that his body was moving.Twisted Braid complained while dragging herself: "Brother, you've slept for too long! It's almost time for you to sleep, and the church is about to start, hurry up and go away."
Mozart tried to manipulate the body, but found that he couldn't move at all. The body would move and talk by itself. He was like a bystander, watching this video with the boy's eyes, or in other words, memory.
He heard the boy yawn, and said indifferently: "What's the big deal, they have to pray every weekend, and they don't mind it."
"But this is a ceremony to show your sincerity to God. Grandpa said it must be done, and you must worship with the most pious attitude."
The boy sneered: "God of shit, a group of people are worshiping a stone statue like a ghost. If there is a god, why doesn't he even fart, so that I can see the miracle." He said so , In fact, it is still restrained, Mozart can hear the voice in his heart, and he is going to scold the so-called god to the ground.
The twisted pigtail quickly turned around and covered the boy's mouth: "Brother, stop talking! If you hear it from God, you will be punished by God!"
The boy shut up, of course not because he was afraid of some divine punishment, but because he didn't want to make his sister anxious.
The two were walking on the path in the forest. Mozart observed the surroundings through the boy's vision. The most noticeable thing in the surrounding scene was the large redwood forest. Mozart couldn't help but think of a place, Sequoia Star, which was originally an original ecology. Tourism Planet, the promotional slogan of the Interstellar Tourism Bureau is "The closest place to heaven - Sequoia Star welcomes all tourists."
This planet does not hide any rare metal mines. Except for the aborigines of Sequoia Star, there are almost no businessmen and investors willing to develop here. It was once the poorest planet in the Republic.
Therefore, the natural ecology of this planet has been best protected. The local government has an idea, and if the secondary industry cannot be developed, it will develop the tourism industry.The artificially protected redwood forest has become a unique landscape in the universe.
The tourism industry has driven the development of GDP, and Sequoia Star has jumped from the bottom to a well-off planet.The local government and people have money, and the material level has improved. At the same time, it also has such a beautiful natural scenery. The people who live here really live in paradise as advertised in the slogan.Sequoia was voted one of the most habitable planets in the interstellar universe in those years.
Sometimes, however, there is a thin line between heaven and hell.
Sequoia Star, which is well-known in the interstellar world as a tourist attraction, naturally does not have a large number of garrisons and defenses.At that time, the Centipede Organization, which was kicked out by the military, gritted its teeth and vowed to teach the federal government a memorable lesson.
The army can't fight head-on, so the best way to retaliate and deter the federal government is to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys.Sequoia, who is well-known but weak in defense, is the chosen chicken.
The Sequoia Star tragedy is a famous event that has been written into the history books, and it is as famous as the Battle of the Death Star that occurred a year later.This is the coldest and cruelest page in human history, with hundreds of millions of casualties.
Mozart remembered that when his history teacher talked about Sequoia Star, he took off his glasses in silence, and read out the casualties word by word: "900 and six people. Students, you The numbers I saw were all living people. Some of them were old and young, and many of them were children as old as you. But after that day, they couldn’t even find a complete body. Now on Sequoia, Pieces of sequoia forests have been burned long ago, and on the desertified land, you can’t even tell whether it’s gravel or ashes.”
Mozart imagined a gust of wind and sand was blowing, but what he inhaled into his mouth and nose were the ashes of people who died in the artillery fire, and he was so disgusted that he almost spat it out.
The braids took the boy to the city, and there was a striking billboard hanging at the gate of the city: "Welcome to Sequoia Star—the most heavenly place." This is actually Sequoia Star!The planet that has long since been destroyed.
They walked into a place that looked like a church.The two-meter-high idol is carved lifelike and enshrined indoors.There are many people standing under the statue, and their clothes look like local residents. Their hair color is tea-brown, which is probably the characteristic of the local race.
In the center of the crowd was an old man with a rickety back. Looking at his white hair, Mozart guessed that he was at least three hundred years old.
The boy was brought to the old man by his younger sister, and the old man reprimanded him with a stern face: "Lawson! Where have you been? If you dare to be late for such an important day, I won't break your leg!"
Twisted Braid explained for the boy: "My brother didn't do it on purpose, he just fell asleep on the mountain outside the city."
The old man still refused to let Rosen go, and taught him a lesson for a long time. He didn't turn back to get busy until the worship ceremony began.Rosen lowered his head and said nothing, as if resigned.But Mozart heard him scolding in his heart: "You are too old to die."
Mozart lamented that this kid was really wild, and he never dared to answer back when he was scolded by his uncle, not physically or mentally.
The worship ceremony started, and Mozart found that the ceremony was indeed as evil as Rosen said, a group of people worshiped around the stone statue, and they were still chanting words, what blesses him to be promoted and rich, and bless him to blossom.
Mozart thought disdainfully: "If God has time to meddle in these nosy matters, he would die of exhaustion."
Rosen was also disdainful, but he was more straightforward: "I'm still in bloom, and I don't want to see what a bear I look like."
At this time, another aunt knelt down in front of the statue, knocked her head on the ground with a bang, and prayed to the statue: "God, omniscient and omnipotent, please bless my son's recovery from illness as soon as possible." Mozart thought that he would not go to the hospital if he was sick. , I actually came to ask some illusory god, which is useless except to delay the disease, ignorant and stupid.
The emotions of Mozart and Rosen strangely overlapped at this time. Mozart cursed out of nowhere: "Brave pen." At the same time, Rosen cursed in a low voice: "Brave pen."
Mozart was taken aback, at this moment he couldn't tell whether he was Mozart or the boy named Rosen.The phrase "shabi" seems to have been said by himself.
But he soon came to his senses, and he continued to watch this boring ceremony. These people had pious faces and made various wishes on the stone idol.Belief has been developed from ancient times to the present. It originally originated from people's awe of unknown forces. However, with the development of science and technology, various phenomena can be explained by physics.
Thunder and lightning are not the wrath of the gods, but the discharge phenomenon caused by the potential difference between the upper and lower sides of the cumulonimbus cloud.But beliefs still exist. This is not ignorance. Some beliefs give people strength and courage, guide people to do good, and play a positive role in society.
What do people need most?Not money, not fame, or food and water to ensure the survival of the human body, but hope.The illusory gods are the hopes fabricated by people. They deceive themselves and others, but if they can gain a little courage to climb out of the desperate predicament, it might not be a bad thing.
Mozart looked at these people in front of him and rolled his eyes. Their behavior obviously had nothing to do with their beliefs. They worshiped God just for their own inflated desires.You can get money and wine by worshiping God, so why not worship such a cheap and good thing, even if it doesn't come true, you can't suffer from it.
The twisted pigtail standing next to Luo Sen suddenly screamed, causing the old man to stare dissatisfiedly, and the twisted pigtail quickly covered his mouth.But her body trembled with fear.Rosen noticed something was wrong with his sister, and checked nervously. He grabbed a ten-centimeter-long red-headed centipede from his sister's collar.
Rosen threw the struggling bug under his feet and crushed it to death. He looked around and found a group of four or five-year-old boys watching them and covering their mouths and laughing.Rosen glared at these peers viciously. He pulled the braids behind him, and those children couldn't help but take a step back, scared by Rosen's eyes.
Mozart felt the anger surging in the boy's heart. He was infected by this anger, his teeth were rattling, and his fists were clenched.Rosen silently threatened with mouth movements: "You guys wait for me." Mozart knew that Rosen was not just talking, he would do what he said.
Although the group of boys were taken aback, they immediately realized that there were so many people on their side, so they didn't need to be afraid at all, and made faces at Rosen.
Finally, the long and boring worship ceremony came to an end.The old man is the grandfather of Rosen and Braid, who live in this church.Rosen sent his sister back to the room, then gave the group of boys who were about to leave a provocative look, signaling them to follow him.
The group of boys looked at each other, thinking it was time to teach this guy named Rosen a lesson, glaring at people all day long, and immediately followed.Rosen led them silently to the redwood forest outside the city, where there was no one in the wild and suitable for fighting.
He stopped and turned to look at the boys following him.He raised his fist without saying a word, and the person in the lead was hit in the eye socket by his punch. After all, he was a four or five-year-old child, who cried out in pain after being hit.The people behind him also started to panic and wanted to run away.
But Rosen didn't let them go, he made fierce moves, hit and bit, and fought with these four or five boys without losing the wind.At the end of the group fight, he bit the skin of every boy, and blood flowed out. The half-grown children had never seen such a battle, and they ran while crying.
Rosen let go after getting angry enough. He sat on the ground with some exhaustion. His body was covered with blood, most of which belonged to other children, and some were scratches from his fight.Rosen rested for a while, and squatted beside the stream in the forest to clean up the blood on his body. His sister should have been terrified when he saw it.
Mozart saw Rosen's face from the reflection in the water. He was supposed to be a handsome boy, but he had a domineering and cool face, and his brows were always furrowed. He looked fierce and hard to get close to.
He is like a lone wolf, licking his wound by the river alone, lonely and vicious.He doesn't look down on anyone, even the gods who are high above him, that is, he treats his sister tenderly like another person.
Rosen picked up a little water to wash his face, and the turbulent lake gradually returned to calm. Mozart suddenly saw a black shadow on the lake, and he immediately realized what it was, the centipede mothership!
Rosen also saw the black figure at the same time. He looked up at the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. He made a canopy with his hands, propped it up in front of his eyes, and looked at the starship.Rosen didn't know what this centipede-like mothership represented, but Mozart knew that today was the day the centipede organization attacked!
Mozart wanted to sound a warning, but he couldn't make a sound, and Rosen couldn't hear a word of his yelling in vain.After trying many times, Mozart suddenly realized that this was just Rosen's memory, and the memory was what had happened, and he couldn't do anything at all.
Although Rosen didn't understand what the centipede organization was, looking at the terrifying appearance, he had an intuition that it would not be a good thing, and a trace of panic suddenly appeared in his heart.He immediately ran to the city, he had to see his sister to be at ease.
The Centipede mothership had already landed on Sequoia Star and stopped above Rosen, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The sky that was bright just now was only dark in a blink of an eye.Rosen looked up while running.
The Centipede mothership suddenly sent a global broadcast to the residents of Sequoia Planet: "Hello, everyone on Sequoia Planet! I am the leader of the Centipede organization, Golden Centipede. We were chased and bitten by the dogs in the military department. As a last resort, I came to your planet to give you a little gift."
The male voice laughed and said: "Get ready for the surprise, ants! Hahaha!" Following his voice, the mothership Centipede poured several tons of shells into the city below.
Rosen watched this scene with wide eyes, fear gripped his heart.The buildings in the city were blown to pieces by these shells, and the high temperature ignited flames, and the flames clung to all organic matter and burned, and the flames were everywhere.
In addition to being afraid, Rosen couldn't help worrying about his sister.Rosen was originally outside the city, not within the bombing range.But he desperately wanted to save his sister, so he ran into the bombing zone without hesitation.
His lips were dry from the flames, and his hair was curly.He saw countless corpses on the road, and when he saw a figure covered in flames jumping from a tall building and falling in front of him, his fear finally reached its limit.
The boy who didn't believe in God at all suddenly began to pray in his heart, like a desperate man grasping at a straw: "God, please, please keep my sister safe."
At this time, Rosen saw a man on the street wearing a pendant issued by the church. This man did not run away in the sea of fire, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly to the amulet: "God, you will definitely Bless me, I beg you to send down the thunder and lightning condemned by heaven, and strike these wicked people to death!"
But there was no miracle. The man kneeling and praying was hit directly by a falling shell, and his body turned into scattered pieces of flesh in an instant, with traces of flesh and blood spattering on Rosen's face.
At the same time, the man on the centipede who claimed to be the golden centipede spoke again, laughing maniacally: "Hahaha, untouchables, you have to remember that everything today is thanks to the group of bastards in the military department!"
Rosen was taken aback for a moment, then continued to run forward.Mozart heard him say in his heart: "There is no god in this world!"
The laughter of the wicked is still echoing in the air, but the devout believers of the gods are suffering in the flames of hell.Mozart couldn't help echoing: "There is no god in this world!"
There is no god in this world!Rosen kept repeating this sentence in his heart.He finally ran to the church, but what he saw was a ruin. A shell hit the top of the church, and the magnificent church turned into a pile of stones.The fire was still burning on it.
Rosen knelt down in front of the church limply. He grabbed the ground with both hands, almost bleeding from scratching.There is no god in this world!Tears rolled uncontrollably to the ground.
Mozart could feel all his anger, sadness, all the emotions carried by this memory, directly instilled in his brain.He was as angry, sad, and...desperate as Rosen.
Feeling something somewhere, Rosen suddenly raised his head, and a ball of light appeared from the flames on the church. This ball of light was no bigger than a fist, but it was extremely eye-catching. It was completely different from the orange-red fire, which carried deadly heat. But this group of light gave people an extremely warm feeling.
Rosen stared blankly at the light coming towards him, gradually growing and becoming a person, but he couldn't see the face clearly, but Mozart felt that this person was laughing, not like a golden centipede, but a kind of smile. A very gentle smile, like the smile of a parent looking at a child.
The people in the light group reached out to Rosen.
There is no god in this world.But at this moment, in this hellish city, in front of the ruins of this church, Mozart and Rosen thought at the same time: "I see a miracle."
Rosen stretched out his hand to the light, and Mozart couldn't help but also stretched out his hand. Rosen murmured: "You are my god."
Mozart also murmured: "You are my god."
The author has something to say: I'm sorry, it seems obvious to me only from God's perspective.
Mechas have no intelligence, except for the peregrine falcon.The Tianlong I am talking about refers to the driver of Tianlong, that is, Lawson.
