Just like water and fire, light and darkness, elegance and brutality have always been considered to be opposite existences. When they appear in the same person, it is like seeing the glaring moonlight in a dark night. It is difficult for mortals to distinguish whether it is the truth or an illusion.

My lord's killing is like poisonous wine. The blood flowed through the blood while drinking. The drunkenness has already corroded the whole body.

You thought you were at the end of your rope, trembling in the coldness of winter, but he smiled and let you go; you thought you had escaped, and you were about to embrace the misty wind of spring, when he handed you a gentle knife.

You are frustrated and despairing among the corpses on the ground, begging for mercy from your fate.

However, no one who is stared at by the god of death can survive. - "The Advent of Our Lord: The God of Death"

...

The setting sun is like blood, and the sunset is like a curtain.

The sea level that should have been infinitely blue was shimmering in the setting sun, and the water waves rippled like fire, burning through the endless sea and directly reaching the sky.

The sea water was torn open, and a luxuriously decorated cruise ship emerged from the end of the sea level, raising its head proudly and sailing towards a certain corner of the world.

Cruise ships are exaggeratedly large, with kitchens, private cinemas, saunas, libraries, etc. Judging from the size of the ship and hardware facilities, the annual maintenance and hosting costs will be a mind-numbing number.

At this time, there were only two people standing on the broad deck.

This is not Bai's first time on a yacht. In fact, she has been to many countries due to various processing tasks, but along the way, she basically conceives of processing plans and repeatedly polishes the details. She never has time to see the scenery.

.

This is really the first time for me to travel and vacation like this.

The waves moved with the wind. Kino took a deep breath and said with emotion: "The air here is so good."

Bai took out his cell phone and didn't know if he was asking seriously or jokingly: "Extra sweet?"

Chino couldn't help but smile: "You think, if you can can the air here, take some pictures of the scenery, and sell it online for 199 a bottle, will it be very popular?"

Bai slowly typed: "You don't need to put cans here specifically. Just take some photos and add them directly. Customers won't be able to see it anyway. Logistics manpower and production costs can be saved a lot."

"I can't tell, but you're quite business-minded." Kino smiled and looked at the distant horizon, his eyes reflecting the setting sun like blood.

The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of waves stirred by the sea breeze.

In silence, Bai typed and asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Kino raised his chin towards the horizon: "Do you know how far ahead we are?"

Like an efficient calculator, Bai responded directly by typing: "We are at the equator. If we sail another 40,075.7 kilometers, we will return to our current position, which can also be understood as the distance ahead of us."

Kino: "How long is the universe?"

Bai Typing: "The observable length is 93 billion light-years, but because its expansion speed has exceeded the speed of light, calculated from time, the actual length of the universe should have reached 160 billion light-years."

Kino: "So, how much do we, who only established civilization thousands of years ago, know about this 160 billion light-year universe?"

Bai Wuyan, who is well-read, encountered a question that she could not answer.

"Perhaps, you can find the answer soon." Kino's eyes reflected the bloody light of the setting sun, and he said faintly, "I mean maybe..."

After landing, Chino chartered a special plane for the next four days and took Bai around the world.

The two of them went to Northern Europe together and experienced a camping experience. They watched the aurora appear from the end of the world and disappear at the end of the sea, and their thoughts were racing in front of the vast Milky Way.

They came to the Aegean Sea where Minos originated, walked to the ancient broken walls of Greece, looked up at the majestic array of ruined stone pillars, and looked back at the glorious civilization that had passed away.

On the third day, we traveled to the small countryside of Sakura Country, walked under the dim street lights, drank tea in a grocery store and listened to the old man telling stories about the past.

The final journey is to Trafalgar Square, surrounded by the setting sun at dusk, standing in front of the Trevi Fountain and watching the white doves covered with golden afterglow.

At the end of the journey, Chino brought Bai back to the processing warehouse.

The night has deepened, and the endless darkness has completely eroded the sky. The bright moon is covered with dust, the stars are shining dimly, and the lead clouds are almost rolling to the ground, just like a corner of the sky is falling.

In the warehouse, there are lines of people waiting here. There are 512 people in total, all of them are processors who have passed the final test in the past 10 years. Each one is a precise, efficient, and absolutely obedient machine.

Bai is also one of them.

And in front of them, there was a pill.

Kino stood on the stage, overlooking these processors, the cold light intertwined into arcs in his eyes: "The pills in front of you contain high-concentration cyanide, which will kill you immediately when you take it in. There is no pain."

"I can't guarantee what will happen to you after you die. Maybe you will die just like that, quietly, and enter eternal sleep. Maybe you will experience the same thing as me. What the specific thing is, I can't tell you now."

"If you die and find yourself waking up again, you will have only one task: to become stronger and survive until the day you meet me."

"At that time, you will be lonely, because not only am I your enemy, but all the comrades and partners you meet on the way to becoming stronger will also be your enemies."

"You will be my eyes, monitoring them from the inside; you will be my hands, accurately executing all orders received; you will be my blade, delivering a fatal blow when my companions relax their vigilance, leaving them helpless.

People survived."

"You will keep repeating this process until you die on the way to becoming stronger, or one day, I need you to die."

There was silence, and every processor looked at Kino expressionlessly.

Or sleep, or be reborn, no matter what, machines will never betray, just like binary 0s and 1s, they will execute every instruction entered into their minds without distinction.

The night has never been so deep. The wind is raging, hitting the houses with a muffled sound. The branches of countless trees are blown wildly, and the dead leaves are flying around, like swords raging in the sky, tearing through the air and making a lot of noise.

Kino raised his hand, and his cold voice was like a devil whispering: "Take the medicine."

Everyone swallowed the pills in unison.

Within half a minute, all 511 processors fell down and the warehouse was filled with corpses.

Only one person stands.

Kino looked at the snow-white figure and walked over slowly: "Bai, do you have anything else to say?"

Bai had no unnecessary expression, neither fear of death nor lingering on life. She raised her phone and a question was displayed on it: "Do you know what love is?"

The blood of a person without the ability to empathize has long lost its temperature. The devil who pursues the supreme art falls into confusion and silently shakes his head.

Bai typed out the answer: "Love is when you know that with him in the world, no matter how bad the world is, it won't be that bad."

This is a very bizarre scene. Two processors are talking about something they don't have.

The so-called answer is both an illusion and the truth.

Even on such a dark night, there seems to be moonlight.

In silence, Kino took back the cyanide pills in front of Bai, then reached out, took away the PPK from her arms, turned on the safety, and raised the gun to aim between her eyebrows.

Kino: "I hope this isn't goodbye forever."
