Chapter 8 end

Twelve days later, Elder Umm Gaia led the Committee of Hundreds and Hairen representatives to welcome Reziayo back.Elder Samuel is no more, she died 8 days ago at the mouth of a killer whale. Umm Gaia is also a female dolphin, a relatively rare rough-nosed dolphin among dolphins.She said: "Welcome back to Reziayo. We already know that some accidents happened on the way. Although under the protection of the holy ban, Susu, John and Suo Langyue still unfortunately died. Please forgive me, in the dolphin society Here, such premature deaths are common." Rumsfeld said sadly: "I am the murderer who killed the three of them..."

Umm Gaia quickly cut him off: "Please don't blame yourself too much. You will always be the Reziayo of the two races." Ramsviel repeated bitterly: "Reziayo, Reziayo... will it always be a thorn in my conscience?" Umm Gaia changed the subject: "The Vogelo sent back by Xiangxiang and Yan Cangling is already in the underwater cave where you live. We think that only you are the most qualified to talk to it." Ramsviel thought about what he saw and heard when he entered Vogelo: the aliens’ aversion to the killing of apes, and their love for dolphins... He said: "No, Vogelo belongs to you, I have no rights to it."

Elder Umm Gaia smiled: "To tell you the truth, we passed the trouble on you. That gift for us is a poisonous sea urchin that is both delicious and pungent. Society has brought millions of years of scientific and technological progress, but if this progress must be accompanied by war, violence, prostitution, rape and other ugly things, we would rather not have it. Rezi Ayo, with your 300-year-old wisdom, you will be able to resist it Please try your best to communicate with it and help us find a proper solution." She solemnly saluted Ramsviel, "Rezi Ayo, I'm sorry." Rumsfeld used to be a very confident person, but after this period of turmoil, he no longer believes in his "wisdom".However, he was very grateful for the elder's trust, and he could not categorically refuse: "Then... okay."

The dolphin man sent them to the mouth of the underwater cave and left, and the four sea men accompanied him into the cave.This time entering the cave was different from the previous ones. At that time, the long waterway was getting darker and darker, and the faint blue light coming in from the light-transmitting cave could only be seen near the end.Now, the sunlight at the entrance of the cave has not yet dimmed, and the white light in front has appeared.The further you go, the stronger the white light seems to turn the rock wall into a transparent body.They swam to the end and poked their heads out from the water. The soft white ball was placed in the stone trough where Suo Langyue used to lie down and rest.The white light is swimming in the hole, and the ball itself is also dissolved in the white light, and the edge cannot be seen clearly.Although the light is very strong, it is not dazzling, but makes the viewer have a very comfortable feeling.The four sea people looked at it with admiration.They put Rumsfeld ashore, and Francis bowed respectfully to him and said:

"Reziayo, we bid you farewell. In the future, we will continue to work on the strength of the sea people, but that nuclear submarine...we will not think about it anymore." Rumsfeld smiled wryly and said, "Yes, you are right. Forget about it, it was the temptation of the devil that I brought, and I am responsible for taking it back." The four sea people jumped into the water and swam away, and Rumsfeld could sense their estrangement beneath their respectful exterior.He couldn't help but think of the radical pacifist he met in his youth who refused to shake his hand.That day, the man's erratic behavior aroused public outrage and he had to leave in embarrassment.But before he left, he said something:

"People who are obsessed with certain beliefs often lose the most basic boundaries between right and wrong. Unfortunately, most of us cannot escape this magic." No one took this sentence to heart at the time.Only then, after 300 years of ups and downs, did he realize the weight of the statement.Yes, those who are obsessed with the belief in "defending the democratic regime" will press the nuclear launch button calmly; nuclear weapons.It was because of his madness that he killed Susu, Suo Langyue, and John.Wherever he went, he spread misfortune wherever he went, and he became a plague god that everyone hated.Dolphin society isn't perfect (he can recall the agony of being helpless after Solange's tail was docked), but overall it's a healthy, cheerful, self-confident society.They do not seek absolute control over nature, and even use the pain of "being devoured at any time" to sharpen the sobriety of society.They are the successors of the terrestrial civilization, and at the same time they categorically abandoned the bad habits of the terrestrial people.Why do I have to treat them as outliers?

Umm Gaia and Jackman often came to see him, chat with him, and try to drive away his boredom.He quickly established trust with the two and established a good personal relationship.But in any case, these people cannot be compared with Susu and Suo Langyue.They can only walk into Ramsviel's living room, while Susu and Suo Langyue can walk into his heart. Once, Jackman tentatively asked, it is too miserable for you to live alone like this, will you allow us to find another wife for you?Rumsfeld's complexion changed drastically, and he could barely hide his annoyance at Jackman.Jackman and Umm Gaia noticed it, and hurriedly changed the subject.In fact, Ramsviel was not angry with Jackman, he knew that Jackman's intentions were good, but he was just hating himself.He has already killed two wives and forced one (Tan Liangdi) away. Does he still have the face to let any woman into his life again?

Since returning to this cave, he spent 4 sleepless nights in a row.He thought it was because of missing his four wives. Indeed, the sharp pain bit his heart all the time.However, he didn't realize the abnormality until the fifth day, because the insomnia for four consecutive days had no effect on him. He was still full of energy, and his thinking was sharper and more flying than before.He quickly found the reason: Vogelo.The white light of Vogelo fills the cave all the time, which seems to be a nourishing field that can keep his mind running without fatigue.In the next few days he verified this conjecture: as long as he left the cave, he would resume normal sleep; but if he was immersed in the white light of Vogelo, he could forget about sleep and never feel tired.

The place filled with white light is also a powerful thinking field. This thinking field has been floating outside his brain, stroking him gently and infiltrating him, but it did not enter his thinking forcefully.However, in accidental collisions, the external thinking field will also briefly break into his brain.At this time, in a momentary glance, he seemed to have walked into a colorful and dazzling treasure mountain, where all kinds of scientific and technological achievements beyond human imagination were displayed, just like the fruits hanging on the branches in the Garden of Eden, which can be picked at will.There are non-gravity aircraft, material instant fax technology, transparent and panoramic thinking sharing, wormhole transition technology, and all the detailed information about Vogelo itself: how Voguero is manufactured, and how to achieve nearly unlimited information storage , how to absorb environmental energy to achieve eternal life, how outsiders can communicate with it "lively", and so on.Needless to say, these contents are very tempting to him, as long as he walks in and browses casually, he can make the sea people achieve hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of progress.With these advances in technology, Sea People are not only the masters of the earth, but also more than enough to be the masters of the Milky Way...

stop.You plague god, can't you change your nature?He cursed himself viciously in his heart.The gazes of Susu, Suo Langyue and Tan Liangdi were all looking at him tenderly, but he felt that the three pairs of gazes were six scarlet swords, and green smoke was rising from the places covered by the gazes, and he was willing to Enduring such barbecue without hesitation, only under the torture of such self-abuse thoughts can he feel better in his heart. Umm Gaia often visited him, but never inquired about his communication with Voglo.But the more this happened, the more Ramsfeld felt that something should be done.Half a month later, after fully preparing himself for Voglo's "temptation", he finally started communicating with it.It was late at night outside, and the sound of the waves came in through the long underwater cave, turning into a faint roar.White light drenches the air and pool water, even the rocky cave walls.He walked up to Vogelo, sat down, slowly stretched out his hand, and hugged Voguero.Just like last time, a torrent of consciousness rushed into his brain immediately, and he jumped into a new world in an instant, a highly civilized Garden of Eden.Surrounded by boundless fruit forests, the fruits of thousands of years of wisdom of alien humans (murlocs) hang there for him to pick.With just a swipe of his gaze and his focus on a certain fruit, his mind can enter at the speed of light, and he can scan all the secrets of this technological achievement, down to the smallest technical details.These fruits are too tempting, he will pick them all and give them to...

But he came to his senses in time to reject their temptation.He said: I don't want to read these, I want to read history first.As a result, the picture in his mind changed drastically, the dazzling orchard quickly disappeared, and a small path appeared in the field of vision.This path is the historical path of murlocs. He walked along the path and browsed.When he is willing to stay at a certain moment, this historical section without thickness will suddenly become a three-dimensional space, allowing him to enter and examine it carefully.The infiltration of white light made him lose the concept of time in reality. He was immersed in the thinking field, calmly reviewing the tens of millions of years of murloc history. At the beginning of the path, he saw a familiar scene.An ignorant animal race (alien fish) slowly opened up its intelligence and evolved into a human being. The animal nature gradually faded while the human nature gradually became full.This process is the same as the road that humans on the earth have traveled, but the time is advanced by 30 million years.Ironically, like humans on Earth, the murloc's animal nature, which faded during evolution, survived tenaciously in another way: vendettas between clans, wars between tribes and nations, oppression and vendettas between classes, Violence within the family, territorial expansion...and so on.As civilization progressed, that monster—the war machine—had grown stronger and more refined. He doesn't want to see these things, because there are too many of these things in the history of human beings on earth.What he wants to know is when this war machine will die.He walked quickly along the historic trail, not stopping until it reached the end.This historical cross-section is the "today" of alien humans (that is, the time when they arrived on the earth). At that time, they had established a high degree of cosmic civilization, and they should be able to abandon the temptation of power and war.The section becomes three-dimensional, showing him every detail, but what he sees frustrates him.That monster (war machine) didn't die, but got stronger.Huge cosmic fleets instantly appear everywhere in the universe by means of material facsimile.They encountered many interstellar races with a low level of civilization, and even advanced animals before civilization (like dolphins on Earth), so they generously spread benevolence to them and improved their intelligence.The ascended races are grateful to them and willingly accept their dominion.The garden of Eden of civilization expands rapidly in poetic... But the poetry ends soon.They met another equally powerful evil civilization (the insect civilization) in the universe, and the impact of the expansion wave soon turned into a war.He is the captain of the stealth spaceship Kiribaton, and he came to the planet Maggarur, the heart of the enemy, in a very secret transition.The enemy was completely unaware, and he whispered an order to aim the space torpedo at the planet.This is the most terrifying weapon in the history of cosmic civilization, commonly known as the star destroyer, which can wipe out the planet with a single torpedo.Compared with space torpedoes, the Trident and Poseidon missiles on human nuclear submarines are nothing more than children's firecrackers.When he pressed the launch button, he didn't feel a little bit unbearable. After a while, the 9 billion insects on this planet would die with the planet.Although they belong to the evil insect-human civilization, there are also lovely children, pure love, and bright art flowers among them... But in order to prevent the expansion of evil, this is a last resort.He finally pressed the launch button and ordered the ship to jump rapidly.As soon as the spacecraft left this space, it became a hell of nuclear flames... Ramsviel woke up suddenly, dripping with cold sweat.He quickly let go of his hold on Vogelo, and decisively cut off the communication with it.He knew that what he saw just now were all real scenes, and they were completely undistorted history.He even walked into the mind of a spaceship captain of the "fish-human" and relived the process of launching a star-destroying cannon to an enemy planet.The unknown captain was very similar to him in thinking, neither of them was bloodthirsty, but in the tide of history, they could only be coerced forward. No wonder those "gods" said to the dolphins: When civilization and technology develop upwards, some ugliness cannot be avoided, and even Voglo cannot do this.History has gone through tens of millions of years, but the mutual killing of two ape kings has been magnified into the mutual killing of two universe-level civilizations.That's all. Ten million years ago, when those "gods" presented Vogelo to the dolphins on the earth, the playful dolphins rashly refused.It now appears that this childish decision may be the wisest decision in the history of civilization in the universe.It was the eve of the space war between murlocs and worms.If the dolphins accept Voguero and are quickly promoted, they too will become participants in the Great War, killing, or being killed.Thinking of this, Rumsfeld couldn't help admiring those playful, childish dolphin ancestors. Another person worthy of admiration is Tan Liangdi.She grew up in human society, but she was able to categorically abandon the chronic habits of human beings, and created a society of dolphin people who "do not be the strongest".Even the "murlocs" who are a space civilized race have not achieved this kind of vision. With a long sigh, he decided not to pass on the knowledge in Voglo to the dolphin people.Now that they have blazed a different path, let them continue down that path. He still communicates with Wogelo regularly.However, he has completely abandoned the temptation of Vogelo, and now it is only a third-party inspection.During the communication, he also missed his four wives. Probably because of this reason, one day he suddenly saw his wives in Vogelo!This is illogical, because Vogelo was not born when his three wives (except Solange) were alive.He thought it must be a phantom in his head. He saw himself lying in a frozen coffin with a peaceful expression, but his face was pale, without the aura of a living person.He is looking at the "dead self" with the eyes of a third party.The water in the cave rolled up, and a dolphin man brought an old land-born woman ashore.Although the old woman was bent and her hair was as white as silver, he still recognized her at a glance as Tan Liangdi, the 75-year-old Tan Liangdi!The dolphin man retreated quietly along the waterway, leaving Tan Liangdi alone.She walked to the side of the coffin with difficulty, pulled out the chair and sat down, looked at the person in the coffin affectionately, and murmured: "Richard, I want to say goodbye to you forever. Today is the day of my whale burial. Richard, when you wake up, will you forgive me?" She shook her head and sighed, "I know you won't Forgive me. But at that time, I could only do that." She stopped talking, and sat silently beside the coffin for a long time, her eyes were bright, but the tears did not flow down.After a long time, she let out a long sigh: "I really want to wake you up now. However," she has come out of the sad, with a humorous smile on the corner of her mouth, "I hope that your memory will retain the me of 25 years ago, not a 75-year-old ugly woman .Okay, I want to say goodbye to you, you'd better sleep on it for 300 years and then wake up." She took one last look at the person in the coffin, turned her head to call out to the water, and waited by the water's edge.Now, she is about to go out to carry out the whale burial and say goodbye to her life, but her expression is very peaceful and serene.The dolphin man appeared soon, and Tan Liangdi went into the water and swam out of the cave holding his dorsal fin.During this time, Rumsfeld was so anxious that he wanted to call her back and tell her: "How can you conclude that I can't forgive your painstaking efforts? No, I fully understand, and I still want to be buried with you, It’s good to enter the kingdom of heaven together, even if you are a 75-year-old woman, you are still as beautiful in my eyes as when I first met.” He wanted to pour out all these heartfelt words to Tan Liangdi, but Ramsviel, who was sleeping in the crystal coffin, could neither move nor open his mouth, as if he had fallen into a deep nightmare... Someone pats him to wake him up.It was Suo Langyue and Susu, who looked at him with smiles.Ramsviel gasped and said: Suo Langyue, Susu, I saw Tan Liangdi just now, what's going on?How can there be things in Vogue Luo that it has never touched before?Suo Langyue smiled and said: "It's not surprising. The female ancestor has already lived in Wogeluo through your memories. You see, Susu and I have also lived, and Nancy and your daughter will slowly come back to life." Rumsfeld shook his head: "By my memory? But, the scene I saw just now is something I can't see. It's not in my memory." Suo Langyue didn't explain further: "You don't need to ask, you just need to remember that all the scenes you can see in Vogelo are real. This is exactly the magic of it." Rumsfeld was very happy that in this way, he and his wives, as well as his parents, daughters, and old friends, could meet frequently in Vogelo.He turned his head and said apologetically to Susu: "Susu, don't blame John. In fact, I was the one who caused your death. I am not qualified to be your husband at all." Susu looked at him with eyes as cold as a knife's edge...Susu's image suddenly collapsed.He fixed his eyes on the place where she was standing before, and her image slowly gathered again and became solid, with eyes as cold as a blade... Suddenly her image collapsed again.When she appeared for the third time, her eyes were full of tenderness and teasing: "Richard, did you see that? A Susu who hates you is unreal and cannot become a reality in Voguero. Now, it is still useful Shall I explain again?" He was so moved that his throat choked, he nodded silently, stroked Susu's hair and Suo Langyue's back with his hands, the beautiful touch was still as real as before.He said: "Suo Langyue, Susu, I really want to throw away this body immediately and live with you in Vogelo. Can I do it?" Suo Langyue smiled, and said mysteriously: "Of course. But, that will be 500 years later. Don't worry, we will wait for you patiently." He wanted to ask her why it took 500 years to meet again, but Suo Langyue smiled slyly, pulled Susu and disappeared in an instant. A month later, at the request of Ramsviel, Umm Gaia held a meeting of the Council of Hundreds in this cave.Under the bath of white soft light, Rumsfeld introduced the communication with Wogeluo in the past month, talked about the fruits of wisdom that are within reach, and also talked about the fact that this highly developed civilization still cannot get rid of war and the vices of power.He said: "The dolphin and sea people society 'does not seek to be the strongest', which is unique among the cosmic races recorded in Vogelo. In this case, we might as well be ruthless, reject Voguero's temptation, and follow the female Continue on the path set by the ancestors. By the way, I also met the female ancestors in Vogelo. I met Susu, Suolangyue, Mihai and Samuel. They all had the same opinion. Of course, the final decision It will be made by the Committee of Hundred and the Council of Ten." After he finished speaking, all the elders of the Committee of Hundreds were silent in silence.After a long time, Umm Gaiya stared at Wogeluo in the center of the crowd, and asked everyone softly: "Do you all remember that nursery rhyme? Can you all sing it?" She sang softly: Luo Geluo, Luo Geluo, we are happier without you; As she sang, her voice grew louder and louder.In the process of singing, all 110 elders regained their childhood and their innocence.They are not singing with their mouths, but with their hearts, and their singing voices are full of banter and naughtiness. The singing stopped, and Umm Gaia told Ramsviel with a smile: "Okay, our decision has been made." Ramsviel nodded: "Okay, that's the decision. In fact, Vogelo is still useful. Suo Langyue said that it knows everything. What's more valuable is that it can automatically filter out wrong information , Therefore, all the information that can be seen in Vogelo is always true, so it can become our living history book and become an immortal historian." Umm Gaiya said: "Very well, please ask Reziayo to be the guardian of Vogelo. This position is for life, and you will choose a successor after you wait for a hundred years." Rumsfeld said curtly, "Yes, I will." Since then, he has become the lifelong guardian of Vogelo.He is still known as "Reziayo", but the word has a new definition - the one who gives us wisdom and teaches us history.Because this old man is familiar with all the history of the dolphin people and sea people, even including the era of "ape" and "middle claw beast" before the enlightenment of civilization, he can know everything by heart.In the minds of dolphin people and sea people, he himself is as vicissitudes and wisdom as history. However, what Umm Gaia said about "a hundred years later" is obviously an underestimation.Perhaps it was because of Voglo's nourishment. 300 years have passed, and the elders of the Committee of Hundreds have changed 76 times, but Reziayo is still alive.His hair and beard are like silver, which are longer than his belly, and even the fine hair on his body is white, but his complexion is ruddy and his skin is smooth, just like a child.The dolphin-men and sea-people had even concluded that he would not die, and they said that Reziayo would live as long as the heavens and the earth.He is kind and generous, calm and gentle, and always has a smile on his face.Dolphins and sea people often bring their babies to receive Reziayo's blessing, even from thousands of miles away, and he is very happy to touch the top of the children's heads with his hands and listen to them cry out in a milky voice. "Grandpa Rezie Ayozu". His cave is open to all at all times.Sometimes visiting guests will catch up with him communicating with Vogelo. He holds Vogelo gently with both hands, and the soft white glare bathes his white beard and hair, white fine hair, and white rock walls. Make this the cleanest place in the universe.The old man had that drunken smile on his face, probably he was talking to his wives or daughters in Vogue Luo.The guests didn't want to disturb him, they enjoyed it quietly for a while, and then quietly withdrew, keeping a warm scene in their memory.The dolphin people and sea people have changed from generation to generation like a current, and only this white altar is a constant landscape.
