Chapter 1 Dates in the Museum
"You look at the dense and glittering stars on a clear night, and you feel a sense of disappointment that is beyond reach. Are we really so pitiful? No, we must conquer the universe!" The large TV screen in the hall is playing a video of Qian Xuesen, a world-renowned scientist and aerodynamician.
A young man and woman were surrounded by crowds of people, and were almost untouched by the crowd.
"I really don't understand why you spent a rare weekend in this boring museum." A pretty girl complained helplessly. The girl's dress was not gorgeous, but she was very attractive, just like a girl next door, which made people feel close.
"Good afternoon, all tourists, this is the last notice. The museum will be closed in half an hour. Please organize your belongings properly and leave as soon as possible..."
Pulling the girl's hand, Wu Di raised his wrist and looked at the watch: "It's almost five o'clock." He muttered and explained to his girlfriend: "Yanan, I'm really embarrassed, but the holy relic of Longineus guns that are on display today. You don't know how magical it is!"
The girl curled her lips, really not knowing how she fell in love with such a person.
This young couple is not old, only in their early twenties this year, who have just entered society and are still in the internship stage in their respective companies.
Finally, I waited for a weekend to rest at the same time. I saw that other couples were all coffee shops and cinemas. I couldn't say how sweet it was. Only my boyfriend actually brought her to the museum for a date. As he thought about it, the girl's eyes were already a little foggy. The rooster was unloading the bridle?? Forgive? P>Wu Di didn't feel the grievances in his companions at all. He still pushed forward with great enthusiasm. Just kidding, this time the world tour exhibition of "St. Langhinus's Gun" was only on display for such a day in their city. He took his girlfriend and he had been queuing since the morning before finally buying tickets.
In fact, this does not mean that Wu Di likes history and likes to visit museums. The "St. Langhinis' Gun" exhibited today is too famous and there are too many mysteries surrounding it, which attracted Wu Di to rather give up dating his beautiful girlfriend and insist on coming here to open his eyes.
Like most young people in this era, Wu Di was born in an ordinary family. He was neither too poor to eat nor rich enough to be a rice worm for life.
After graduation, he started working as a chore in an ordinary small company. Every day, he was a cycle of work, without any ups and downs, and no surprises. If life could also be expressed by electrocardiogram, then Wu Di's life would be so dead that he could not die again.
The only thing that can comfort his lonely heart is the various movies that are popular on the Internet, anime and novels from Qidian. Wu Di's interest in "The Gun of St. Langhinus" was cultivated from these places.
No matter which work it is, as long as the "St. Longineus' Gun" appears, it must be so mysterious that it cannot be more mysterious.
According to legend, Longinus was the first Roman name, who was the jailer who escorted Jesus Christ to the Mount of Olives to execute. Judah Iscariot, a disciple of Jesus Christ, betrayed Jesus with thirty silver coins and handed over to Pentium Pilate, the governor of Judah in the Roman Empire.
Pilate crucified Jesus, but it was different from what the public knew. After Christ went down from the cross, in order to confirm whether Christ was dead, Pilate ordered the captain of the 100-man team, Longineus, to stab Christ under the ribs with a carrying dagger.
The dagger was surrounded by the flesh and blood of the Savior and became an invincible dark red spear, with the spear tip divided into two forks.
Because this holy gun was stained with the precious blood of Jesus, it is said that it will never be destroyed, and it also has magical healing power to cure Longineus, who was blinded by stabbing Jesus to death.
According to legend, as long as you hold the gun, everyone within a range of 120 feet will surrender. Those who hold this gun can dominate the fate of the world.
But the lost will be killed immediately. In the ancient Roman Empire, this gun became a symbol of power. Many monarchs with outstanding achievements have uniquely won countless battles.
Over the past 2000 years, many great warriors in history have continuously explored the secrets of the holy gun, which has triggered many legends.
Thirty decades after Jesus was crucified, the holy gun became the weapon of St. Morris, the first Christian knight: in the hands of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor in Rome, it changed the Roman Empire;
But after the decline of Rome, the whereabouts of the Holy Spear was unknown in the chaos that followed for hundreds of years. It was not until it found that his new master, Charlemagne, appeared again, and the conqueror unified Europe again;
The holy gun was smuggled out of the city in the 19th century, so it did not fall into the hands of Napoleon. Some people say that this is the reason why Napoleon's hegemony failed;
By the mid-20th century, another world conqueror seized it—Hitler claimed to possess the holy gun in 1938.
This gun did not break the ribs of Jesus Christ, which coincided with the Old Testament prophecy. This gun was used to confirm whether Jesus died and was infected with the blood of Jesus, and it became a religious object from then on. Some people later called it the gun of destiny.
The weapon used to deal with Jesus later became a weapon that could bring change to the world, making this gun a holy object with supreme divine power and some disturbing prophecy protagonists.
After thousands of years of war, the Langkinus gun that stabbed Jesus was broken into three pieces. These three pieces were rebuilt by the Lord of the Celestial Kings and became three brand new Langkinus guns. Today, the one exhibited is one of them.
The museum is naturally filled with people to be able to witness the magical artifacts in reality with one's own eyes. Unlike any exhibition in the past, most of the tourists who came to watch this time were actually young.
Wu Di complained secretly. His body was not strong. His long-term lack of exercise and working in front of the computer had already made his stomach fat in advance. Moreover, his height was not too high. From his perspective, the whole hall could no longer see anything in front of him except for the head and back.
It took too much time to queue up, and half an hour before the closing of the hall. Wu Di was not willing to turn back without seeing the holy gun. Fortunately, the tourists who would visit the museum were of good quality and lined up in order. Wu Di could only grit his teeth and patiently follow the crowd.
The crowd was moving slowly, and every minute was like three autumns. Finally, it was Wu Di's turn to come to the booth.
In the specially made glass booth, the Longinus gun is quietly placed. The dark red spear tip, similar to a dagger, lying on a mat made of velvet, is like a sleeping beauty, making people's eyes unbearable.
This is the legendary holy weapon that can change destiny and save the world. Wu Di's eyes were firmly fixed on the gun of Longineus.
In the dark, the Longinus Gun seemed to be responding to Wu Di's gaze. He had a very familiar feeling, as if he and the Longinus Gun should be one.
This was what should belong to him. Wu Di subconsciously let go of his girlfriend's hand and both hands lay on the tempered glass cover. He was reluctant to leave for a long time, as if Wu Di could hold the holy gun forever as long as it was not the end of the world.
His little girlfriend was a little amused. Could it be that her appearance was not as attractive as a cold dead thing in Wu Di's eyes? However, although Yanan did not want to interrupt Wu Di's interest, the tourists queuing behind were already a little unhappy.
Just as Wu Di, who was a little crazy, was dragged away from the display cabinet by his girlfriend and reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Suddenly, a crisp "bang" sound was heard, and the special polymer-proof glass cracked, and all the lights in the entire museum were extinguished at the same time.
"What happened?" Wu Di woke up from his addiction by the harsh screams. The unexpected power outage caused the museum hall to fall into darkness. Everyone was "buzzing" like headless flies and running around.
God knows what happened, Wu Di took advantage of the chaos and hugged his girlfriend tightly. Yanan's twisting body calmed down a little in Wu Di's arms. Does it seem that her boyfriend is not as unbearable as he imagined? Any reason for a woman to like a man.
However, before Yanan could wake up from her sense of happiness, a rumbling sound suddenly blew past her and Wu Di in the darkness.
Wu Di didn't care at first, but just as the man ran past him in secret, he actually felt an extremely familiar feeling on the man. It was the Shrine of St. Langhinus, it must be!
Wu Di's heart hopped heavily, and he knew that this must not be an accidental museum outage, but the stolen gun of St. Langhinus was stolen, which was premeditated.
The man in the darkness held the Longinus gun in his hand and ran forward. When he stopped, he seemed to see Wu Di and Yanan blocking the door of the hall beside him. A voice came out of his low voice: "If you don't let go, just die!"
While the person was warning, the sharp weapon in his hand had been stabbed straight out. This was a strictly trained international mercenary, and anything could become a deadly weapon in their hands.
Of course, Wu Di could not know the origin of the man hired to steal the Sword Longines gun, but he could clearly sense the thrilling wind coming from the man's hand. This gun was aimed at Yanan's stab.
Although Wu Di was just an ordinary young man, he had a sense of courage that came from at this critical moment of life and death. He turned his body and blocked his girlfriend behind him, while Longinus's gun pierced his lower abdomen.
The person in the darkness was about to pull away when he succeeded. Deep in Wu Di's mind, a strong unwillingness surged into his heart. He reached out and grabbed the Longinus gun that pierced his lower abdomen: "I won't make you feel better even if I'm a ghost!"
The Sword Longineus's Gun was tightly grasped by Wu Di. The mercenary in the dark was stunned and was about to take it hard. Suddenly, a storm rolled up in the museum, and the mercenary's hands were empty. The Sword Longineus' Gun and Wu Di's body disappeared...
