Chapter 122 Industrial Demon God
This is another possibility of the world revealed behind the silver key door.
With the rise of the industrial revolution, the number of illegitimate children has also been increasing.Orphanages everywhere are overwhelmed, but what is even more overwhelmed is the sewers where abandoned babies accumulate.
It is said that some people will be so hungry that they will pick up the dead bodies to eat.
"You are lucky, otherwise you will be picked up and eaten by that kind of person - ghoul!" The headmaster frightened the misbehaving children in the orphanage.
In the silence, Lin Xingtao turned over and said to Audrey who buried her face in the quilt, "Are there really ghouls, sister?"
Not long after he wore it, he always thought that this world might have the same special power as Da Chu.
Audrey made a booing gesture.
Allen, who was on the other side of Lin Xingtao, said, "It's people who eat people."
Lin Xingtao laughed: "Brother A Lun is talking about what your lord said again."
After a while, Lin Xingtao felt a little cold, so he leaned towards his sister, and Allen looked at her, and also leaned towards her.
This simply reminded Lin Xingtao of the scene in Da Chu's Dao Temple.
Coincidentally, the same difficult start, the same man and woman.If it wasn't for being too young, Lin Xingtao really wanted to say to the two children next to him, "I love being a teacher".
Audrey said softly: "Louis, our father should be a worker, and our mother should be a prostitute. They may be dead, or there may be no difference between them."
"But, Alan, your father is a nobleman, right? You are red-haired, so it should be easy to find your biological parents..."
"What nobleman?" Allen turned over, his red hair looked like a smear of blood on the thin quilt, "It's just that they don't want me, how can I get it back, I will die if I go back."
"I want to be an aristocrat myself, I want to be a politician..."
In the darkness, Lin Xingtao listened to everyone's breathing one after another, and Audrey's voice pressed against his ear, which was so subtle that it could be ignored: "The dean said that some honorable people will come to adopt us, let's go together, we Promise." She pinched Lin Xingtao's fingers heavily.
In the following days, Lin Xingtao played well with Audrey and Alan.Allen changed from only playing with Audrey at the beginning to being willing to talk to him a lot.
When Allen was a child who didn't understand anything, he would inadvertently say precocious and cold words when he looked at all kinds of people outside the courtyard.
"Perhaps, the only way to gain dignity for your offspring is to let yourself abandon it. You see, Louis, a dog lives better than us."
Lin Xingtao saw a well-groomed boy with blond hair and green eyes on the street, leading a boxer dog that was taller than a human being.
Suddenly the Boxer broke free from the rein and came charging toward them.
With a push of its hind legs, the dog jumped onto the wall.
That ferocious big mouth bit Lin Xingtao.
Lin Xingtao was ready to hit the dog with a little qi in his body, but he didn't expect that A Lun stood in front of him and was bitten by the dog abruptly.
Blood immediately flowed down.
Allen groaned in pain.The blond boy was taken aback, ran over quickly, and asked, "God, are you okay, Ross has always been very good."
The boy wanted to make the big dog let go, but he held back all his strength, but the blood from the wound only flowed more violently.
Allen lowered his head and said, "It's okay, don't let yourself get hurt, adults will blame us."
——Even if a dog of a nobleman bites a person, the poor who are bitten should care about the safety of the nobleman.
Lin Xingtao jumped off the wall and started running a few meters away from the wall.
He stepped on the wall a few times, and with momentum, he swept his leg and knocked out the dog's mouth.
He failed to stand firmly on the wall, and fell down again, with traces of electric light flowing around his feet.
He had no strength left, so he just listened to a grown-up voice from across the wall.
"Lucas, what are you doing, I didn't bring you out to let you run around...God, poor boy, bandage him!"
The person who spoke should be an elegant lady, and a man's voice sounded immediately: "Sister, your hands are covered with blood, wipe it off quickly."
"I just saw there was another kid, is he okay?"
Lin Xingtao replied from this side of the wall: "I'm fine, sir."
The gentle gentleman beckoned from the other side of the wall: "Could you do it again, let me see your amazing leg sweep, let me see you."
It turned out that he had been watching.
Lin Xingtao didn't have the strength, so he barely stood on tiptoe and shook that hand.
The warm feeling was fleeting, and the dean said in the distance: "Honorable Mr. Viscount and Madam Viscount, you are here to pick up the child... Aaron, how could he be so rude! Oh, he is the one I told you earlier A boy with red hair, and a boy with brown hair."
"Brown hair?" the Viscount snorted softly, "But it's a boy, my sister and I want a girl."
"It's a girl, it's a girl, and she's waiting inside."
The footsteps gradually moved towards the door of the orphanage, and Lin Xingtao followed them.
Lin Xingtao turned around and ran towards where Audrey was until he was blocked by a deeper wall.
Audrey and Allen were interviewed in the same room, and the Viscountess laughed with satisfaction from time to time.
"I am very satisfied with this boy, he has courage, love and can talk."
But the Viscount said, "I saw another boy just now, and he was also very courageous and loving."
Leaning against the door, Lin Xingtao heard the Viscount's voice getting closer, almost right behind the door.
"If you tell a worker—such as your parents, that if you cut off your own flesh, the nobles will give you money, then what do you think the worker should do?"
Lin Xingtao raised his hand, as if he had a small knife in his hand, and held it in front of him.
At the same time, Allen also made a choice.
Lin Xingtao didn't know what he did, but the Viscount seemed satisfied.
"It's him, he knows how to choose. Good boy, come home with me."
— Come home with me.
An inexplicable feeling quietly filled Lin Xingtao's heart.
He couldn't tell what it was like, and he had to attribute it to his homesickness.
Ah, he misses his mother.How could he start as an orphan again? It's poisonous.
The door opened, and the figures of the family walked out.
They didn't notice the short Lin Xingtao, Audrey was looking for him but forgot to look back.Lin Xingtao waved at their backs.Goodbye.
-
Knowing that Audrey still had a younger brother in the orphanage, the Viscount and his wife kindly donated a large sum of money.
As a result, the orphanage lasted for a while, but it was still closed.
Lin Xingtao crossed the Vosges Mountains and headed for the capital Bali at an age when he could barely support himself.
During this period of time, he was seriously ill and almost died, so that he had no extra energy to change the status quo.
During this time, neither Allen nor Audrey came back to visit the orphanage.
He ended up as a child laborer in the Pali slum.
There is no mysterious power in this world. The only exception is probably the rapid development of industry.Lin Xingtao had to go to church with his companions to pray every month, but what kind of heavenly father religion coaxed everyone to hand over all the little money they had saved hard—it was the same as those cheap wandering birds, except that the wandering birds at least provided body.
Lin Xingtao looks good, even if he works in the coal mine, his skin is still fair and clear like a nobleman.
The wandering warblers were more than willing to tease him. They pulled up thin silk stockings and turned it into a layer of cloth for pocket change.
The cheap dead skirt swayed and swayed, and in the laughter of Lin Xingtao, "Don't come here, I'm still a child", it swayed through several springs and autumns.
Lin Xingtao is no longer a child, he is a teenager.
His increasingly outstanding appearance among the workers brought him an increasingly explicit scrutiny from the mine owners.
Finally, one day, when Lin Xingtao finished polishing the iron tools and was wiping his body in the small room, the mine owner walked in with a smile.
The wretched middle-aged man said: "You follow me, I will give you a lot of delicious bread, and you don't have to do those heavy jobs."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand, wanting to lick and touch.
Lin Xingtao pulled out the polished knife and plunged it into his neck—to resist, this was his choice.
The face of the mine owner was full of disbelief, and he uttered his last words furiously: "You bastards deserve to die! I'm dead, and you are all finished! Regret, regret it!"
Lin Xingtao ignored him, put on worn but clean clothes, and walked out of the room.
Outside, there were workers waiting anxiously. They became excited when they saw that Lin Xingtao was safe and sound.
"Ready?" he asked.
The workers shouted in unison: "Always be ready!" They raised the hidden guns in their hands.
After preparing for a long time, the resistance began.
In these years, Lin Xingtao lived a really hard life.Occasionally he remembered how good he was at basketball, and instead of jumping up to take a shot, he buried himself in his work.Wang Xichen said that no one will play basketball in the future.Heh, people who are busy with their careers don't think about having fun - Lin Xingtao thought happily.
He also determined through countless disappointments that there really is no special power in this world.
In this world, he was born to suffer.
To hone the will, exercise the spirit.Let go of the heart that may be a little arrogant and anxious because of being an emperor.
Yes, he is still an emperor.
The power of true qi is useful in this world, but it is too little.In an orphanage this would be enough to save sick children, but not in a slum overcrowded with workers.
After realizing this, Lin Xingtao could only watch the corpses fall one by one into the stinking ditch.
He clearly knows that power must be accumulated, reserved for important times, and must be solved from the source.
And now, it's time.
He was at the forefront of the workers.
The back bent by fatigue straightened.
The footsteps that are weak due to fatigue are full of strength.
He turned his head slightly, and the dragon of luck was swimming beside him.
The dragon's claws rested on his shoulders, and he let out an earth-shattering roar.
He changed from a poor man to a king over ten thousand people.
Behind him were tears in the eyes of the workers, who always knew to listen to the boy.In the past, they just felt that the boy was different from them, but now, they knew that this was their savior.
is their king.
Over the corpses of the workers, over the corpses of the exploiters, over the wall between the upper and lower towns.
Lightning shrouded the enemy army on the opposite side, and bucket-thick thunder and lightning fell from time to time, and Long You hid in it.
This is the rage of the oppressed, the rage of emperors for so many years.
boom!
Lin Xingtao picked up the gun in the lightning, and laughed happily: "Let him have thousands of troops, and I will destroy it with one shot hahaha!"
"Come on! The world! It's ours!"
Blood dripped from his forehead, blurring his vision.
Without strength, he is still the mortal Lin Xingtao who will die.But with power, he is still the same.
The workers broke through the army and came to the palace.
Lin Xingtao looked at the shocked princes and nobles, smeared a smear of blood on the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and said jokingly, "I heard that the princess of Prince Lionel is called Audrey."
"Sister." He smiled, "If you don't keep your promise, Louis will collapse."
Audrey was a little dazed and a little terrified.
Allen, who had not seen him for many years, stood up and said, "You are Louis? You are really extraordinary."
"Brother Alun? Don't you like my sister? Does your love mean sending her to be a princess?"
Allen's red hair is still beautiful, and when he looks at the workers and nobles, his eyes are always warm and not hypocritical.But he still has a sense of distance that cannot be ignored - he must be a politician at the peak.But he couldn't hide his shock.He must have never expected that even though he was not adopted by the nobles, that Louis still beat him.
"You hate the nobles, but you are wrong. A country has always had nobles. Even if there are no nobles, there will be various upper classes. This is the law of society."
Lin Xingtao thought for a while, and answered Lu Xun's words:
"It's always been like this, right?"
Screams erupted, and he fired unexpectedly.
He actually knew that there was some truth to what Allen said, like he couldn't open up the country all at once.He can only ascend the throne by himself, so that the top of the power, at least, can consider the people.
However, if there is enough power, such as the power in Da Chu, such as the power of God, he can actually make big changes directly, right?
"Children rely on their parents, believers worship gods, poor people bow down to nobles, politicians fear kings... But it is also possible, children leave their parents, believers question authority, poor people rebel against nobles, politicians overthrow kings."
He was sitting on the tall throne, thinking quietly, maybe because the sentence of overthrowing the king was a bit sensitive, the ministers below knelt down.
"Don't kneel, don't kneel. Get up..."
stand up.Lin Xingtao felt in a daze that he should sit on a bigger and higher pedestal.
He wanted to go home, even though he had been king for ten years.
He stood up.
The black dragon roared, and the way home was opened again.
But in the gap between worlds, he seemed to see something different, he saw an angel.
This may be another him.
At this moment, he heard intermittent crying.
"I'm sorry, Luis... Lin Xingtao." He was a little surprised, but he still stretched out his hand towards the crying place.
The warm feeling was fleeting, and he suddenly remembered the hand he briefly shook outside the orphanage's door many years ago.
It turned out that it was the family affection he missed.He wasn't supposed to be an orphan.
"It's okay," he said.
-
Gaspard Salien de Lorraine withdrew his hand in a daze.
His Louis had been away for eight years, and during these eight years, he, like the believers, deeply missed that glorious and great god.
Of course, he still misses his child.
Children will eventually leave their parents.But every day, parents hope that their children will go home and have a look.
"Naughty Louis, why don't you come back and have a look."
Gaspard finally used the summoning spell on this day, at the cost of not many lives.
But a secret keeper said: [The monarch of life and the ruler of madness cannot be summoned, you can only touch it. ]
He did see his child.
He saw another planet, and there was a child named Lin Xingtao on the planet.
He suddenly understood everything. Was his Louis actually Lin Xingtao?
"No wonder you won't come back..." He was wearing the pope's cold and gorgeous costume, staring at everything tightly.
He felt some resentment, but these emotions quickly turned into deep distress.
He looked at himself, separated from Lin Xingtao by a wall, a door, missed, and then powerless.
How much he wanted to hug the child who followed them all the way but could only turn around and leave, how much he wanted to kiss the child who was waving his palm outside the door.
He wanted to say to himself who said "Let's go home" to Allen: "It's not him who really wants to bring home."
That real kid is waving at your back.
He saw that Allen held Audrey in his palm, and saw that Allen was enjoying the happiness of the family wantonly, while his beloved son could only starve and freeze in the orphanage.His heart throbbed with pain.
He could hardly bear to look at everything in the coal mine, but he forced himself to watch.
He can't let go of a tiny bit.
When that wretched man walked into Lin Xingtao's room, the powerful force belonging to the Pope overturned the entire temple.
The angels flapped their wings and sang to comfort him.The unicorn came and crouched at his hand to comfort him.
He said: "I have you, but who will comfort him, who will comfort my Louis..."
"Lin Xingtao..."
He is proud of his children after all.
He looked at Lin Xingtao, who ascended the throne and managed the whole country in an orderly manner, and laughed out of tears.
The king had no wives and no relatives.The king is alone.
He couldn't help the wet corners of his eyes suddenly.Ah, crying and laughing at the same time——
His children endured loneliness obviously longer than him.
He stretched out his hand and lightly shook Lin Xingtao from that world.
"dad?"
He heard a familiar cry.
"dad."
Ah, he laughed again.
My child, no, my god.
I would like to stay in the barren world filled with your breath.
I love you with all my heart, even if you leave my side without hesitation and go to a wider world.
Then go farther and higher, so that I can look at your footprints and be proud of you.
One day, you will grow up.One day, you will be supreme.
One day, I will never see you again.
The author has something to say: I don't care, rounding is double change.
Do you want this Shi Huangtao in a uniform, this evil god Tao with six wings on his back, or this king Tao who can play basketball?
