Chapter 199 - The Bridge to Hell (1/2)
Seeing Hao Ning staying very closely with him, Xiao Hong smiled bitterly, “You, no need to do like this. Are you so afraid of parting from me? ‒ About this man, I guess he is one of the 1.5 billion workers building the Summer Palace?”
“1.5 billion workers? But I see only one man here. Is he the representative of the workers?” Hao Ning wondered. He found that the man seemed unable to see them. The man just stared angrily at the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. Hao Ning grabbed Xiao Hong, walking behind the man. They saw there was a note sticking on the man’s back, reading, “1.5 billion workers.”
“Err…” Hao Ning was stunned. He asked, “Is he the 1.5 billion workers just because there is a note on his back written it?”
“Oh, I see. Zhou Yuan, you are so cunning!” Xiao Hong said. He understood what happened promptly. He smiled and said, “It must be a Zhou Yuan’s tricky. He doesn’t have enough power. His power drew a lesson from movie stunts. It seems there are thousands of persons around. In practice, there is only one person who is copied many times. It is cost-effective and it can save many power. So, we heard that there are 1.5 billion workers in imagination. In practice, only one. The rest of the workers are copied out of this man,” Xiao Hong explained.
“Oh, I see! Only Zhou Yuan, the moment god on the internet, will do this opportunistic approach,” Hao Ning smiled. Thinking of it, he wondered, “What about his mother? Didn’t she feel strange about the identical workers for that they look the same?”
“Her servants are identical,” Xiao Hong smiled and said, adding, “Did she feel strange about it?”
As they were talking about it, they saw Zhou Yuan’s mother coming out with Zhou Yuan nearby. Hao Ning pointed to Zhou Yuan and said, “Why are you here? Aren’t you getting out? Get out of here hurriedly!”
Zhou Yuan did not hear what he said. He was so scared of the man standing in front of him. His expression in his eyes told that he must have seen 1.5 billion workers standing there.
“Don’t talk to him,” Xiao Hong said. He pulled Hao Ning’s hand back quickly as his hand was almost reaching the edge of the magic figure. “This is a fake Zhou Yuan in this imagination. The real one was out already. The fake one, of course, is here. We and they are in a different space-time. We are invisible to them. We’d better stay here and see what will happen.” Xiao Hong said.
“Pay my wages. Pay 100 million!” the man shouted, holding a banner. In fact, the banner was not lifted by the man. It floated in the air! The man just did a movement to lift it. Hao Ning and Xiao Hong were curious about what it was on the banner. Interestingly, the words scrolled like the one in an electronic display, writing: The central government has repeatedly ordered that nobody is allowed to delay the payment of migrant workers’ wages, but we still haven’t received the wages. The profiteers still owe us money. The Imperial Garden doesn’t pay our wages. The richest bastard! Justice still exists, and we work hard for our money! Zhou Yuan does all evil things. The whole family will die…
Hao Ning counted the number of the words. It was nearly 800. It should be a composition in the college entrance examination instead of a banner!
“Wow. The words can scroll by themselves? New technology?” Hao Ning thought. “And why is it so long? I even don’t have the patience to read it.”
“It is the imagination,” Xiao Hong contained his laugh and said, adding “Think about it. There are 1.5 billion workers in it. They absolutely have many to say. What you saw is a short banner with scrolling words. To Zhou Yuan, it might be a several hundred meters banner!”
“Ha, ha, ha, several hundred meters banner!” Hao Ning smiled. There were only three persons on the square, Zhou Yuan, his mother and the wage earner. However, it seemed like that there were billions of people. He smiled and said, “The acting skill of these three can be rewarded in Oscar! I will make a joke of Zhou Yuan about this after I get out.”
As they were talking, Zhou Yuan read the banner with his head turning from left to right. It seemed that he was reading a very long banner. He did some gestures while he was reading it. He might be afraid that he would miss some words or something. After reading the last sentence “All family members will go to hell”, he fell on the ground and died!
Seeing her son was dead, Zhou Yuan’s mother fell on the ground too and died.
“So easy?” Hao Ning said. Seeing both died all of a sudden, Hao Ning was stunned. “Their mental endurance is so poor!”
“He died due to the waves of anger from 1.5 billion people!” Xiao Hong said in a cold tone. “However, how can they be the richest family in this country if they don’t have strong mental endurance?”
“So, don’t default on migrant workers’ wages…” Hao Ning said surprisingly. “Everyone has tough days!” he added.
“You should say this sentence on the TV news called News 30 Minutes,” Xiao Hong said, pointing to the sky. “It’s coming,” he added.
The sky turned dark suddenly. All the things around them disappeared. It was fully dark except the light circle where Hao Ning and Xiao Hong were standing
“What’s happening?” Hao Ning said, grabbing Xiao Hong’s hand tightly.
“The imagination vanished as they died,” Xiao Hong said. He seemed to look for something. He saw two rays of lights coming in. He screamed, “Yes, that’s it. Zhou Yuan’s parents’ souls.”
He waved to the lights and the lights came over. Seeing the lights coming over, Xiao Hong took out a Jade Goddess of Mercy to absorb them into.
At that time, the light circle took them to travel into an infinite space-time. They had to stand closely because the light circle was too small. They even touched each other’s head several times.
“Wow, what should we do?” Hao Ning said, rubbing his head. And then he was attracted by the scene outside of the light circle. “The scene is so interesting. It is just like the one I traveled through the book Creation of the Gods to the Gods Creation World,” he added.
“Of course. Both are to travel in two spaces. They are different but to lead to the same results,” Xiao Hong said. He patted his head suddenly and said, “Aya, I am so stupid. It’s so easy but I neglected it!”
“What’s wrong?” Hao Ning said, looking at Xiao Hong and wondering. He turned his head. Two heads hit each other again.
Xiao Hong said excitedly, “This circle is too small for us. As you don’t have power, you may be in trouble if you get out of it. But, as you know, I have power.”
“What do you mean?” Hao Ning said lightly. “If not so, how can we both get in here? Can you tell me something I don’t know?” Hao Ning added.
“Don’t be bossy. Let me finish,” Xiao Hong continued to say. “Then I can fly to the middle of your eyebrows and I will integrate with your body just like when you flew into the Gods Creation World,” he added.
