Volume 7: Luo Sheng's Atonement Record Chapter 26 The Past
"In the sea of nothingness, all things are extinguished and gradually move towards nothingness, but nothingness itself is the greatest treasure house. Because of nothingness, it is infinite."
Luo Cheng was holding a somewhat old notebook in his hand, carefully reading the densely written contents on it.
The soothing music in the bar did not soothe Pluto's heart at all.
He looked at the notebook with complicated emotions in his eyes.
However, this complexity soon subsided.
He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, but no matter what, there was no turning back now.
Luo Cheng didn't have to wait long, and Lu Bai soon appeared in the bar.
Luo Cheng also put away the things in his hand with sincerity, stood up and greeted Lu Bai.
Afterwards, he clapped his hands, and all the guests and staff such as the bartenders left in an orderly manner without any expression.
Lu Bai was still a little surprised when he saw this scene.
Because he could feel that these people were not controlled by any special abilities, either mentally or physically.
But this also happens to illustrate Luo Cheng's power.
In a relatively hostile city, such a base was quietly established, and many seemingly unrelated people were placed here.
Those people have their own identities and professions. They just come to this bar occasionally. Through their different intersections, they make this place a "normal" place.
He can also enforce orders when Luo Cheng needs it.
It has to be said that this is still very difficult.
It takes a long time to operate.
The other party shows this relationship in front of him, on the one hand, out of sincerity, telling you that I have arranged it here and there is absolutely no problem, and also trusts you to help keep the secret.
On the other hand, he used this to exert pressure and oppress Lu Bai by showing his own strength.
The other party's little trick was exactly in line with Lu Bai's previous judgment of Luo Cheng.
Although he seems to be upright and honest, in fact he has never escaped from the darkness, and all his "generosity" is based on the fact that he is in an advantageous position.
So although it may seem that they are full of sincerity and have a noble demeanor, in fact, if you look deeper you will find out that they are petty-minded.
It’s as if the other party doesn’t really have any ability, but has to rely on tricks to show his ability all the time.
However, whether judging from the situation of these people or from Pluto who was half-turned by him, Luo Cheng should be quite capable.
Means and abilities are the same thing most of the time, but they are often not the same thing.
Some people can do things and have strong working abilities, but their methods are average.
Some people have good means and can actively create opportunities, but when opportunities come, they lack the ability.
Luo Cheng's situation seems a little special. He has strong abilities, but his methods tend to be shady. Behind his seemingly magnanimous appearance, he is actually a petty person full of conspiracy and calculation.
It seems that this guy's early experiences are quite interesting. Ability depends on talent and learning ability, while means depend on experience and personality habits.
Only when people lack ability will they develop the habit of using shady means. Luo Cheng is capable enough, but he uses such means. This shows that he was probably suppressed by others in his early years in terms of ability, which hit his confidence.
Luo Cheng didn't know that just through some small things, Lu Bai had gradually analyzed the color of his underwear.
He went to the bar, poured two glasses of wine, and then made a gesture to Lu Bai to invite him in.
As Lu Bai sat down, he slowly said, "Mr. Lu Bai, do you want to hear a story?"
"I'm all ears!" Lu Bai naturally wouldn't refuse.
"More than 20 years ago, I had just graduated and was still very young, but I had some talent, so I joined a relatively famous research institute at the time."
"Yongchuan? " Lu Bai asked as if he remembered something.
"Yes, Yongchuan." There was a light in Luo Cheng's eyes, as if he was recalling something.
"At that time, the whole world was in an energy crisis, with all kinds of extreme weather and natural disasters occurring frequently."
"So gradually a rumor began to spread."
“ The world will end in 2012.”
"But as time went by, the doomsday did not come, and the rumor was treated as a joke. We gave it up and turned our attention to the increasingly tense international situation."
"But Mr. Lu, have you ever thought that the end of the world is not yet coming, but a savior just happened to appear and save the world?"
Luo Cheng's words were full of sighs.
"According to what Mr. Luo said, preventing this doomsday is related to the Yongchuan Research Institute." Lu Bai understood the meaning of the other party's words.
"Mr. Lu is indeed a smart man." Luo Cheng did not continue to brag about business, but continued to talk about what happened in the past: "The savior back then was the leading researcher of the institute and also one of my senior brothers. His name has been banned now, and few people remember him anymore."
After a slight pause, Luo Cheng said the man's name: "Yue Sheng!"
Lu Bai noticed that as Luo Cheng said the name, Pluto, who was not far behind him, instinctively clenched his fists.
"Yue Sheng..." Lu Bai repeated in a low voice. If he guessed correctly, this Yue Sheng was Qiu Mo's father. Of course, the name Qiu Mo was most likely a pseudonym. Just by removing the "mountain" at the end, the character "Yue" became "Qiu".
The savior symbol that he obtained from the bottom of the Nether Sea also belonged to Yue Sheng.
This person is probably the "strong man from heaven" in this dimension. He successfully prevented the coming of doomsday, developed the void zero-point energy, and prevented the international tension.
All the prosperity that Lu Bai saw before his eyes was inseparable from the efforts of this person.
"Senior brother is a very talented person. He led us to research the Void Zero-Point Energy. Through the application of this energy, we successfully solved the doomsday."
“The prototype of the Guard was also successfully established at that time.”
"It's a pity that as the escort team was established, Senior Brother gradually discovered some problems."
"That is, the existence of Void Zero Point Energy is risky."
"Void monster?" As a good listener, Lu Bai would naturally continue the topic raised by the other party and guide it.
"That's right." Luo Cheng nodded, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Void Zero Point Energy is to break the balance of a place called the 'Sea of Nothingness' to extract the corresponding energy."
"But it's like a string. If you pull it and make it no longer balanced, there will be a reaction force to correct its position."
"The void monsters are exactly this corrective force!" Luo Cheng revealed the inside story of the void zero-point energy: "They are messengers sent by the Sea of Nothingness, and their purpose is to recover the void zero-point energy."
Lu Bai also showed his shock at the right time.
The situation was pretty much as he had guessed.
It is not that the application of void zero-point energy will produce void monsters, but as long as this thing exists, there will always be corresponding void monsters appearing.
So Lu Bai quickly discovered the loophole in the void zero-point energy.
That is, this thing is energy, and there are many places where this energy is consumed.
This consumption is not returned, but used in other places, which means that the corresponding correction force has not actually been restored.
And as the void zero-point energy is consumed, this corrective force is accumulating more and more.
"It seems that you understand." Luo Cheng sighed and said, "Under this situation, Senior Brother chose a steady approach. He wants to gradually stop the application of Void Zero Point Energy."
"It's a pity that everyone at that time was focusing on the dividends brought by the Void Zero Point Energy. Even I was immersed in the joy of having sufficient energy and was puzzled about stopping the application of this energy."
"Not long after, word spread that my senior wanted to monopolize Void Zero-Point Energy. While asking others to stop using this energy, he was secretly researching further applications of Void Zero-Point Energy."
"The person who spread this news is my senior brother's former lover, who is now the mayor of Lanyue City."
"The person who delivered the fatal blow was the person that Senior Brother trusted the most back then, his apprentice, and now the world-famous captain of the guard team - Chao Xi."
"He produced evidence that my senior brother was secretly researching void zero-point energy, and he also accused my senior brother of having won many awards and that they were academic infringements of his research results."
"The majority of the guards came forward to testify."
"For a time, Senior Brother was deserted by his friends and relatives, and countless people abused and accused him."
"I didn't believe it at all, so I went to find my senior brother, but he was already injured and looked very strange. After giving me his notebook, he told me to follow his instructions and leave Rencang as soon as possible."
"Not long after I ran away, I heard that something unexpected happened in Rencang, and my senior brother died in that accident."
"Then all parties began to block our brother's past deeds and prohibited the spread of any information about him. All existing materials were also collected and destroyed."
"At that time, I relied on the notes given by my senior brother to successfully obtain the method of extracting void zero-point energy. I used it to join a city at that time and gradually became its owner. I also changed its name to Luoyue City in order to remember my senior brother."
Luo Cheng talked about what happened back then, and then took out a notebook.
"Back then, Senior Brother was indeed secretly researching Void Zero-Point Energy, but I later learned from his notebook that he was not researching its application, but rather how to balance the cost of the correction force."
"This is to prevent the doomsday disaster that will eventually come."
"Doomsday disaster?" Lu Bai showed an interesting smile, because when he mentioned the doomsday disaster, Luo Cheng was looking at him.
"The 2012 doomsday was just postponed, and this doomsday is also closely related to the source of the void zero-point energy, the Sea of Nothingness."
"Senior Brother once predicted in his notes that with the widespread use of Void Zero-Point Energy, the suppressed doomsday will emerge again."
"The key to stopping it is that it does not belong to the Void Zero Point Energy."
"And this is the key to why I found you."
