車子停在路邊,我們卸下所有行李。我的朋友微笑著說,我們已經到了。
公寓門前有一棵樹。雖然還是冬天,樹卻早已發芽。陽光透過很密集的樹枝,照在大門門框。我停靠在門邊,看著順房子延伸下去的街景。
“還不進去嗎?”
我將行李拉進大門。破舊的公寓和外表繁華的都市比起來,更有一種親切感。
“在這里應該很安全。”他說道。
“但愿。”
我們的房間在四樓。光線剛好透過窗戶,發芽樹枝的影子清晰可見。不久后,也會遮擋住陽光吧。
卓越市區邊界。
比起上層的空中通道和高樓,在發展的城市底還留有過去的痕跡。
這里還能找到一些21世紀初的老樓,雖然大部分已經破損。房間很干凈,406號。
都拾好后,他將折疊沙發展開在客廳。不像現在的樓房,這個客廳沒有任何不必要的裝飾。
“之后…”
“樓下還有一間空房,在街角那。那間也是我們的,還包括半個二樓。”
“我記得那以前是個酒吧。”
“現在都沒人來了。老板在上個月被一個歹徒擊斃。”
“在外面?”
“嗯。”
我們準備下樓。公寓里住人甚少。朋友說,他們基本上都離死不遠了,我們也一樣。
三個月后,我們已經將街道路口的空房裝修成一個新的酒吧。為了安全,我們在燈里裝了個電極閃光彈。
“它看起來還是很舊。”
“沒必要太新。”
“可你以前在以太市區的房子是相當華麗。”
“那不是我干的。”
他沉默許久,隨后將剩余的酒瓶擺在架子上。
“抱歉。”
“……”
破舊的木質家具攤在屋子周圍。我們放了一些陷阱。我們還分別在壁爐和樓梯后布置了密道。
一開始他還建議我在樓上,但是想了想還是這里比較安全。有時酒吧會進來一些人,醉酒后離去。朋友將剩下的杯子洗好擦亮,我則在一旁坐著,觀賞外面風景。
行人走過,默默無聞。
過了一陣,朋友買了個紅木底沙發,橫跨在室內。我每天都會趴在那,玩弄一些破電子設備。
當然,我不會告訴他我在做炸彈。

8 181Ultimate Kinetic
Somewhere on the remains of earth stood a man. He stood in the field of debris and corpses. The sky was red from the flames and clouds were stretching as far as eye could see. This world of kinetics was destroyed by a single man. Driven by his wrath, searching for vengeance and killing every human being on his path. He was kneeling. Kneeling because he was dying. He knew that his journey would end with death of everyone, including himself. But he did not feel anger and sadness. He felt delighted. He was smiling. This was not a smile of madness. He was smiling because he finally rid the world of a disease called humanity and now could finally relax. None shall be betrayed anymore, none shall be abused and none shall suffer from others. He made the world as peaceful as he could and now he would die.
8 285The Virtue of a Starless Sky
Days have turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into long years without a single sign from the Heavens above.The mythical immortals that once protected the world of Oseo have seemingly vanished in the wake of a mysterious phenomenon that occurred only recently — the startling disappearance of a large portion of the night sky and, with it, the gradual decline of Spiritual Qi.In a steadily decaying era where cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult to practice, vast empires, ancient Societies, and powerful organizations have all begun to fight to secure the last remaining Spirit Stone mines and Spiritual Qi leylines across the world.There is little hope for peace now that the final century of cultivation has dawned on Oseo, but to Laude Tellstar, a simple mortal farmer, none of that mattered.As an ordinary mortal who had no interest in the world of cultivation, Laude had considered him exempt from the fearsome conflict raging across Oseo until he was forcibly drawn into the fray one fateful day… by a single, stray bolt of lightning.After that, his life was never the same again. Dragged into a dying world of cultivation, Laude’s journey to expunge his cultivation base and return to mortalhood will take him across Oseo and into the shadow of a heavenly conspiracy so monumental that it could endanger all of Oseo and beyond…
