Chapter 750 Chapter 748 HE Spring White Bird
Chapter 750 Chapter 748·HE·White Bird in Spring
While hugging Noah, Su Mingan injected a dose of Johnson's medicine into Noah's neck and pushed in the potion that could heal the wound.
But AI Yeya said that this has no effect. Noah's mental state is hopeless and now he is just trying to maintain his sanity.
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
He heard Noah calling him again and again, but this time he didn't speak and said, "Stop barking."
This was Noah's extreme fear of losing him.
He should have known that those who could survive the 72nd Year of Catastrophe would have their sliced futures in the City of Measurement - and those who did not exist in the City of Measurement meant that they had not survived the 72nd Year of the Catastrophe.
so……
There is no Noah in the future.
In the room where the red light was shining, all you could see was blood red and a few puddles of water reflecting the light on the ground. Noah's pupils trembled slightly.
"It doesn't matter."
"There is no ending for people like me."
"I don't think that my good impression is the product of any skills. I have never regretted the day I met you in District 11, Grandpa. That was the luckiest thing in my not-so-good life."
"Your persistence and yearning for Haruhi, everything you have done for the ruined world...all fascinate me, and I can't help but dislike you."
"Are you satisfied with the ending now?" Su Mingan whispered.
Noah smiled.
Scarlet began to flash in his pupils.
"Satisfied... very satisfied. My sacrifice has value. Half of the mechanical army that was stopped will save countless people who should have died in the war."
He said:
"Grandpa, I... love you."
"I just have some, some..."
He suddenly choked and trembled as he spat out the remaining words:
…
"...I feel sorry for you."
…
Su Mingan's hands tightened.
He wanted to say something, but no words came out. At this moment, no words could express his feelings. It was as if... there were hundreds of birds flying in his chest.
In the room where the blood-red warning lights were flashing, Noah raised his head. His lower body was unable to move, and a large amount of blood submerged his robe.
There was a wilderness-like calm in his eyes, which reminded people of the golden fields and the sunflowers blooming in the flowerbeds under the spring sun. That unfettered temperament is bolder and freer than any human being in a ruined world.
——He is a white bird of the new century.
Although White Bird never entered the new century.
He stretched out his hand and wiped away the blood on the dungeon medal on Su Mingan's chest with his fingers, making it shine like gold, as if to say, don't let it get stained with dust.
Longing struggled in his eyes, and after a moment, he spoke:
"Can you show me the future of the city? Can you show me what kind of world I will save in the future? Is there... a sun with the same hair color as mine? There are countless... suns. flower?"
Su Mingan's eyes were startled. He knew that it was eternal night over there in the City of Measurement. There was no sunshine and spring that Noah expected.
"Yeah."
Su Mingan whispered.
He didn't imply anything, but Yaya understood.
"Wow——"
A screen appeared, flickering for a moment, showing an extremely intense illusion.
In the picture, Ye Ya constructed a virtual scene of the city of measurement, with bustling streets and alleys, long trains, children running around the school holding balloons, and old people feeding white birds with crutches.
In the parks, sunflowers bloomed luxuriantly, and they bloomed—blooming enthusiastically toward the sun, like gold spread on the earth.
"There is no eternal night, no blood, no frozen soldiers and mutilated corpses..." Noah murmured to himself.
This is just a white lie by Su Mingan and a false image of the city-state.
In fact, the current city of measurement has also fallen into eternal night, and soldiers died in large numbers on the way to transport resources.
But Su Mingan helped the free white bird in front of him to weave a final, beautiful dream.
Noah stared at the camera for a long time, wanting to touch it with his fingers, but he passed through the virtual screen - he was the one who could not touch the future.
"No matter past, present or future, I cannot cross the fixed dimension."
"The sunflower cannot really touch the sun. If it is too close, it will be burned or even burned to death by the distant temperature..."
"Watching the sunshine in the sky from a distance until it finally withers is the best ending it can achieve."
"So, is this scene...real?" Noah whispered.
"Really." Su Mingan insisted on this lie. He did not reveal the cruel truth.
Noah took a breath, his eyes seemed to be nostalgic, but also happy. He put his fingers on Su Ming'an's shoulders, brought his blood-stained cheek close to him, and whispered into Su Ming'an's face, with the same tone.
Like a big golden retriever, a little coquettish and a little playful.
"That's great...Grandpa." He pointed at the virtual image and smiled:
"That's really..."
"So beautiful."
"spring……"
He breathed again.
——That's enough.
——This is what he wants to see.
Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and white birds are flying high.
——That is the rich spring that the most beautiful dream cannot compare to, that is the spring that even the gods are jealous of.
Su Mingan nodded slightly.
At this moment, the weight on his shoulders suddenly slipped away. Noah closed his eyes and lowered his head.
…
["——Ha, hahaha... That's ridiculous. This is the funniest joke I've ever heard! You have been using this excuse to fool the residents for ten years. You say he will come back every year, and he can still jump out of the ground. Come out? He is a big liar! If you have the ability, let him jump out of the ground now. If he jumps out, I will call him grandpa!"]
["Grandpa. Grandpa Akto, Grandpa Luvis, Grandpa City Lord..."]
["Grandpa, you are finally back. If you call me grandpa, you will come back. If you had known, I would have called you every day. Grandpa..."]
…
["Grandpa, grandpa..."]
【"It doesn't matter."】
["People like me, by nature, have no ending."]
["I don't think that my good impression is the product of any skills. I have never regretted the day I met you in District 11, Grandpa. That was the luckiest thing in my not-so-good life. ”]
["Your persistence and yearning for Haruhi, everything you have done for the ruined world...all fascinate me, and I can't resist not liking you."]
["I just have some, some..."]
["...I feel sorry for you."]
…
It felt like a piece of flesh and blood had been torn out of his heart, and Su Mingan's fingers trembled unconsciously. Black dot-like pain spread from the tip of his heart.
Until the end, Noah did not change his name. He kept calling this person he was afraid of losing "Grandpa" until the last second of his life.
He wanted to take another look at Su Ming'an. They can walk freely in the streets and greet the clean city. Plant flowers in peaceful times and patrol the edges of the world on a motorcycle.
On that day, the water was clear, white birds flew across the blue sky, their feathers scattered naturally, and dragonflies fluttered on the lake.
When the time comes, Noah will definitely call him "Lord of the City" or "Sir" solemnly. Because the war is over, he is no longer afraid of losing him, and he doesn't have to call him "Grandpa" anymore.
But in the end,
...It still ends with "Grandpa".
He hugged Su Ming'an tightly, and the flaming warm embrace fixed a satisfied smile on his face.
The hidden ninja died of faith, and the white bird finally died in spring.
After a moment, those blue eyes as clear as the vast ocean dried up.
The last thing reflected in the pupils was a constructed virtual spring and non-existent sunflowers.
…
【Haruhi melts into his pupils. 】
[Died with his life and walked with his soul. 】
…
——The white bird dies with the spring.
…
Su Mingan hugged the young man's body, which was gradually losing its warmth.
At the last moment, the blond young man's tears were so hot that his palms trembled and he tightened his lips to suppress the sound deep in his throat.
Everyone who treats him well, who has good intentions towards him, who is important to him, who can stir up waves in his heart, who never gives up for the freedom of mankind,...
"..."
There was a slight sound in his throat, which he quickly swallowed and suppressed. A hint of crimson appeared at the end of his eyes, which was quickly covered by black hair.
It was as if a ray of sunshine was revealed among the thick clouds and fog.
The warm yellow light outside the door shone on Su Mingan's shoulders, reflecting the blond young man with his eyes closed, and his warm hair was like sunshine.
The blond young man leaned half of his head on Su Mingan's right shoulder, his eyebrows were lowered, and the corners of his mouth were curled up in a smile, as if he was asleep.
Su Mingan slowly stood up and picked up Noah's blood-stained body, "Tick tock, tick tock -" The huge amount of bleeding dyed his trousers red. Noah was severely injured, and the wounds had big holes. Shocking.
He actually smiled and endured such great pain until the last second.
Su Mingan leaned him against the edge of the wall, and pushed the young man under the warm yellow light, as if...bathing in the bright sunshine.
The blond young man lowered his head slightly and leaned against the wall. Half of his face was melted in golden color, and even the sunlight on his eyelids was almost transparent.
His whole body, leaning against the warm light, was like a golden sunflower, with his eyes closed and a few strands of blond hair scattered on his cheeks. The expression on his face was serene and peaceful.
It's like all the pain from my previous life has disappeared.
"Noah, you are actually sunshine..." Looking at this scene, Su Mingan whispered.
Why chase the sunshine?
…
[Grandpa, I promise to stand by your side until the last second of my life. 】
【I will never give up on you. 】
[I will always love your soul, no matter if something controls me or not. 】
[This kind of love that makes you feel guilty has nothing to do with you. 】
【……】
【grandfather. 】
【So beautiful...】
【spring……】
…
In the warm light, there seemed to be a small illusory figure there.
The young man with blond hair hugged the golden sunflower in his arms. His beautiful blond hair was scattered by the wind, flowing slowly like golden liquid; the white robe was raised high behind him, elegantly spreading like angel wings. He put his lips close to those colorful spots, letting a few bits of color swirl into his blue pupils.
After a moment, he turned around with a smile and called "Grandpa", like a coquettish golden retriever dog. Soon, he ran under the bright sun and disappeared.
The warm wind blew his blond hair, and his back looked so free.
…
——He has endured too much pain in this world and can finally leave.
…
"Ding dong!"
[You have reached the (Noah) character ending: HE·Kasuga Shiratori]
[(Spring White Bird):
"There is no need to trace my whereabouts, no need to sing funeral songs for me."
"I just jumped out of time and became part of the world."
"From now on - the white bird on the street lamp is me, the sunshine in the sky is me. The sunflower in the flower bed is me, the torch that never stops day and night is me. The fireflies in the day are me, and the stars in the long night are me. In the hands of the child The candy on their face is me, and the smile on their face is me.”
"If you look up one day and see a flock of white birds returning home."
"Please raise your voice and call me."
"Perhaps, I am among them. Flying to my hometown with longing."
"——The white feather falling towards you is my blessing for your life."
"I only wish you."
"Spring flowers are blooming."
"a peaceful life."
