Chapter 691

When I first entered the garden area, I saw the bright light and green grass in Joshua's eyes.

Man made lights were falling from the translucent glass dome. He felt the fresh air and the ethereal music. The children's joyful songs were coming from the front.

Taking a step forward, he smelled the aroma of milk and honey. The sweetness of fruit was floating in the breeze. Looking up, there were flowers in full bloom on the grass, colors were blooming, fruit trees were scattered, and the ripe fragrance came from all kinds of fruits.

Everything is so beautiful, just like heaven.

But these were not what Joshua paid attention to... The soldier's eyes were concentrated, and he saw a lot, but also very little. He saw a group of children in the center of the garden, singing quietly under the leadership of several soul puppets, and saw some things that made him dumb.

What Joshua saw was bone and skin.

It's bone. Joshua controls the body of the puppet and takes a step forward. He steps into the green grass from the white tile Road, which makes the soil hollow. He looks around half of the garden area: the snow-white building surface, the tiles made of bone powder, the artificial lamps hanging from the dome, and several benches placed in the corner of the garden area, It's made of shin bones and thigh bones. The man-made hills in the fountain nearby are piled up with countless bones.

At this time, the children singing in the center of this beautiful garden are holding simple musical instruments. They are singing under the guidance of three soul puppets, reciting simple and beautiful songs. However, it is strange that these children and puppets are not affected by the previous battle of Joshua, The huge explosion could not even make them spare any energy. The soldiers could see at a glance what the musical instruments were made of.

That's bone and skin.

A girl who is only about seven or eight years old smiles. She holds a small double faced drum in her hand. She beats it under the guidance of the soul puppet and makes a rhythmic sound. The girl sings a naive ballad. The drum body of this small double faced drum is cut and ground by two children who are almost the same age as her, and then covered with a layer of human skin. A 12-year-old boy is sitting next to a girl, playing a simple six hole bone piccolo. No one knows which victim its material comes from, but the melodious sound of the flute conceals all this.

"La la la la... Let's continue this dream, tomorrow will come, continue to sing the melody..."

The sweet children's voice and the clear music lingered around the sound receiver. Joshua didn't look and listen much, because he found something more incredible: it was on the side of the garden, on the left side of the maintenance area and the medical area, A building is under construction, which is alternately inlaid with human bone and rock. Its structure has been roughly erected, half of the outer layer has been coated with cement, and a small part of bone powder tiles have been laid. When the soldier really observed carefully, he found that the material of the huge dome covering the whole garden area is also very familiar.

Joshua hung down his head in silence. He looked back at the group of young Siberian children who were singing and playing. They were still playing happily under the guidance of soul puppets, with bone and leather instruments and toys in their hands. And there's no doubt that they all come from their own kind.

Children don't care, they don't know if these things are made by the bodies of their parents, siblings... Because they don't know anything, they don't know anything.

Up to now, no matter the three soul puppets or Siberia children, they didn't pay any attention to the explosion and Joshua nearby, even if the soldiers were approaching them with great strides - until Joshua was standing in front of them, the three puppets who were constantly guiding the children through sound and hand and foot movements turned their heads, Make some unusually mild sound.

"Snova-21 harvester, this is not the duty area."

"No. snova-21 harvest, go to repair section 6."

"Snova-21 harvest type, go to the defense line of breeding area to fight."

From these three apparently special soul puppets came the emotional, extremely beautiful and magnetic voice lines, which said to Joshua almost at the same time, repeating his task. The soldier was silent. He first took a look at the xiboyan child who was still playing and singing a few meters away and didn't respond to the arrival of this giant. Then he stretched out his hand directly.

Click, click, click.

Three times in a row, Joshua, who made at least ten times as much effort as these puppets, crushed and pulled out the heads of these three soul puppets who had no fighting power. Along the line, he directly destroyed their soul core and gave freedom to these souls who had been enslaved for a long time.

At the same time, the music stopped.After destroying the three puppets, Joshua looked at the group of children... Let's call them children for a moment. The soldier looked at the wisdom of these young people. His mechanized eyes were just pure red light flashing, but the unique frequency represented that Joshua's mind was complex at this time.

After losing the guidance of the soul puppet, the light in the eyes of all the children dimmed down. Originally, although their movements were rigid and even playing seemed like puppets, the light in their eyes at least made them look like a life. But now, all the children stop playing, clapping and playing. The sudden interruption of singing, the sudden fall of jumping, all of us lay down neatly, or lie down on the grass, as if the electricity had been cut off, they just stopped numbly in the same place, without any anger

Some of the children who are singing before are still spitting out the lyrics intermittently, but everything is no longer coherent, as if there is a program error.

"La la la... The future is repeated... Time drives... Tomorrow... Yesterday... La, La, la..."

Like a mechanical error reporting device, these children are not making any sound at all. Only sporadic single sounds of "Yi", "Ya" and "La" come out from their open mouth, just like simple vocal cord vibration, without any meaning.

This kind of life... Is not living at all.

Just in the first moment of observing the scene, Joshua understood the situation. The mechanical body can't sigh, but Joshua's spirit still took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. He thought it might be just a mechanized soul factory, but he didn't expect that these puppets, or the existence behind them, were so thorough.

"The absurd world..."

A low voice reverberated slowly in the garden area. The soldier shook his head. He could see that most of the decorations in the whole garden area and other areas were made of human skin and human bone. They were white in texture, perfect in shape and without deformity, as if they had been carefully selected, It was only after a long time that Joshua realized why it was called "breeding area" outside the garden, and what happened to the so-called "offering".

Besides plant food, what else is good for breeding? Of course, it's human beings... In this world that seems to have experienced the end of time and the whole world is desolate, besides breeding human beings, what good animal husbandry do human beings have? Looking at the number of white bones and human skins, it's just like harvesting the accumulated ears of grain in autumn. Perhaps, in the view of those behind the controllers, the human nature of the breeding area is the same as that of plants, no different from that of barley, wheat and rice. They are all sustainable resources that will grow again after being harvested.

When he stepped forward, Joshua came to a child, who was about 13 years old. He was wearing a simple gray children's suit, and his eyes were dark and unconscious. He simply breathed and maintained his life. His body didn't move at all, even if Joshua put up his index finger and touched his forehead.

Silver flashed with purple and blue.

Joshua used the power of steel fragments to explore the child's soul, but he only saw an empty piece - nothing, everything is blank, there seems to be something wrong with the child's brain structure and soul structure, memory for him seems to be only seven seconds, as long as more than seven seconds, everything will be forgotten by him, back to the white paper.

The white paper that knows nothing.

No good or evil, no good or bad, no wisdom, no will, no nature, no courage, no faith. There is no despair in nothingness, and naturally there is no hope. In this soul deprived of imagination, association, and even all enlightenment knowledge, Joshua could find nothing. He stood up speechless and looked down at a group of children lying under him. He wanted to feel a little sympathy and anger, but the soldier's reason did not feel that these "things" were life.

What's the difference between a Siberian child without any self will and a real doll or puppet who has everything but soul and body? They're just fleshy crops, seedlings waiting to be harvested.

In legend, Adam and Eve walk in the garden of Eden. They don't know good, evil, shame, and live happily under the guidance of God. They know nothing and know nothing, so they enjoy the happiness known as ignorance. But the snake tempts them to eat the fruit of the tree of wisdom, breaking their happiness and banishing them from Eden.

Today, everything in the garden area is mixed together, which makes Joshua recall the allusions in the myth of his previous life. He looks at the remains of puppets that are still shaking in front of him. There are also groups of young Siberian children who fall to the ground. The iron core of the soldiers who have gone through thousands of battlefields also vibrates slightly.

If we say that the happiness of ignorance is Eden.

So, this is the worst garden of Eden
