Chapter 7·"link the fire"

[Choose the starting point silently,]

【Proudly choose to return,】

【Those who choose dawn at night,】

[Dawn chooses him as the wind of freedom. 】

[——Shelley's "Choice"]

…

With a "click", the door lock fell off.

Outside is a blood-red corridor with flickering candlelight. Noel was dressed in a black outfit that was convenient for movement, and his pupils were glowing with a faint blue color.

"How did you get in?" Su Mingan was surprised.

"The news that the gods took Su Xiaobai, an intern from the City Guardian Department, went viral on the Internet. I knew it was you as soon as I heard it." Noel dangled a bracelet on his hand: "This is a prop to conceal the aura. It's hard to sneak in." Difficult. Let’s go.”

Su Mingan suddenly said: "I haven't played the piano for a long time."

Noel raised his eyebrows: "I'm also surprised that the gods actually prepared a piano for you."

They walked outside. The corridor was empty and quiet, like a scarlet tunnel.

Suddenly, Su Mingan opened his eyes wide.

——A series of red circles appeared in his field of vision, which were clues to his "Clue Insight" skill. In the past, he could only see a red circle occasionally, but on this corridor, there were forty or fifty red circles.

So many great clues! What a treasure trove.

Su Mingan stopped for an instant. The gods must be watching his every move, and even if he escaped in a hurry, he would definitely be intercepted. Might as well read all these clues.

"Is there any clue? Just take a look, I'll accompany you." Noel also stopped and looked at the oil painting hanging in the corridor.

Each oil painting has a red circle, and there are dozens of them.

Su Mingan looked at the first oil painting - it showed a female doctor in a white coat staring at a petri dish against the background of the research institute.

At this moment, Su Mingan felt his five senses slowly fading away, and he seemed to be falling into it——

…

[No.1 link the fire (fire carrier)·Tina Tina]

…

Su Mingan felt his vision change, and he saw the petri dish in front of him.

...This is the memory of this person named "Tina".

There were cheers all around, people were hugging each other and crying with joy.

"——Great! The research on special drugs was successful! Although there are still big flaws and cannot be put into use, it is already a new breakthrough! We can remember history!" People shouted, and laughter resounded throughout the research building. hospital.

Su Mingan couldn't control himself, he could only look at everything from Tina's perspective. He felt himself moving and hugged a doctor named Nia hard with his backhand.

...Although I don’t know what era this is, it must be the past. After all, Su Wensheng's mother destroyed the real special medicine nine years ago.

At this time, a panicked shout suddenly came:

"Everyone! Just now, the gods suddenly issued an oracle! They said that special medicines should be destroyed! Once the special medicines are released, they will make people remember history, and the gods cannot allow it!"

In an instant, the room cooled down.

Confusion, panic, fear, despair...all kinds of emotions appeared on people's faces. Tina was the only one with a calm expression. She immediately picked up the glass bottle next to her and began to rummage through the cabinet again, pulling out documents one by one. Papers like snowflakes were flying in the room.

"Doctor Tina, what are you doing!" People saw her crazy behavior and hurriedly tried to stop her.

"Save it! Save it! Save it!" Tina had a stubborn expression and kept repeating this sentence. Her eyes were bloodshot and her cheeks were flushed with intense emotion. She quickly put the important research data into her arms - she wanted to preserve the special medicine... Human history is more important than any property, honor, fame, and more important than her life. Human history must be preserved!

The vigilance of life and death, the records of pioneers, the experience of avoiding destruction, the confidence to face the future... If human history only has a few years left, how monotonous and weak will this civilization be? How do people find their way home if they are forced to forget their past?

The more the gods want to erase history, the more they must retrieve it.

But if they fail to fight, they will be declared by the gods as sinners who tried to subvert the order. Who in future generations can remember their efforts?

People hesitated, but Tina kept putting things in her arms, as if she didn't care what would happen to her. Soon, the second person to take action appeared, it was Nia. She started rummaging through the next cabinet, holding all the research data in her arms.

Then, there is the third person, the fourth person, the fifth person...

They have a tacit understanding and carry the research data into their arms according to their respective areas of responsibility. There is a stubborn madness in everyone's expression, like a burning fire.

No one spoke, but there seemed to be a silent scream resounding through the room, accompanied by the clatter of paper.

——Don’t try to take away our history!

——Don’t let the lamb kneel down and die!

Resist, resist, resist.

In the short fifteen minutes it took for the Holy Alliance Army to arrive, people quickly sorted out the research data, printed it on a computer that was not connected to the Internet, and saved it as a USB flash drive. After a short and efficient discussion, they handed all the data to Tina and covered her escape through the secret passage of the institute.

"Give it to me?" Tina held a glass bottle containing special medicine and a USB flash drive. She never expected that people would hand over the special medicine to her. Her status in the institute was not high, but she actually shouldered everyone's hopes.

"Each of us may betray at the last moment, perhaps succumbing to the preservation of the family, perhaps succumbing to the pain of punishment, or perhaps succumbing to the fear of death... But you will not, you are the first person to choose to disobey the oracle. , Tina, you are the most determined person among us." Tina's teacher, Mr. Riley, patted her shoulder and said seriously: "Let's go! Tina! Preserve the history of mankind!"

A series of life-saving and displacement talisman seals were stuffed into Tina's hands, and Tina looked at them - they were not without fear, some were crying and trembling, and some had begun to regret it, but whether they were passionate or following the crowd, at least At this moment, they are heroes.

They are obviously a group of ordinary people who are usually late for work and complain about the unpalatable food in the cafeteria...

Tina remembered their brilliance at this time.

"Tina...goodbye." Nia gave her a final hug.

Tina left along the escape tunnel at the rear.

Through various escape talismans, she escaped smoothly.

The strong wind beat against Tina's body. Her legs were running fast with the blessing of the talisman, and the pain of lack of oxygen came from her chest. She did not look back or listen to the screams behind her. She hid the glass bottle in the inner pocket of her left chest, close to her heart. She knew that the entire history of mankind was stored here.

A vast history, thousands of years of history, traces left by billions of people - the numerous fruits of an entire civilization.

The burning feeling of hypoxia hit her, but she felt that she had finally defeated the world for once, with her ordinary twenty-eight years of life.

She has been an ordinary person since she was a child. Except for entering the graduate school through study, there is nothing about her that is far above ordinary people.

If superheroes will save the world when the end of the world comes, she is a citizen who cheers for superheroes, and the camera will not stop at her.

but now--

She clenched the glass bottle against her heart, feeling a joyful and exciting emotion beating fiercely in her chest.

——Can ordinary citizens also become superheroes?

She was so scared that her legs began to tremble, cold sweat slid down her forehead, and her vision was so tense that it became blurry, but she felt a sense of joy - the fear of death, the fear of gods, and her own passion. The collision made her feel like a bird that had escaped from its cage, struggling to fly out among the thorns.

Don't try to take away our history!

Don’t even think about it!

She continued to escape with the help of the displacement talisman, and time passed quickly until she escaped to a small country on the edge. She was walking on the street and saw a TV screen hanging on the side of the street.

——That was a live broadcast of everyone in the institute being collectively executed.

The bloody light exploded, as if her soul had been drained away.

Tina finally felt at a loss.

She looked around and felt that she had nowhere to go - if the entire history of mankind was condensed in a small glass bottle, who could she give it to when she was alone, and how could she keep it? ?

At this time, the Holy Alliance army discovered her, and the talisman penetrated her right chest.

Dripping with blood, Tina was seriously injured and stumbled away. She didn't know where she could go or who she could trust. The gods are like thick shadows in the sky, but how can the lambs on the earth remain standing?

she does not know.

She didn't know how to survive.

Bleeding profusely, she was forced to fall to the ground as she fled to the outskirts, her legs losing strength.

A thin drizzle began to fall in the high sky. She looked at the pale sky and vaguely thought that spring was coming soon, when dead plants would grow new buds and wildflowers that had not yet completely died would bloom all over the earth.

That scene must be beautiful.

Her bloody hands held the glass bottle, and her breath became weaker and weaker.

Moments before she died, she saw a figure walking towards her.

"Are you okay? Why are you covered in injuries..." It was a middle-aged man.

Tina didn't know who he was. But she knows that she must not let the history of mankind die here with her.

She used her last strength to struggle and handed the glass bottle to the middle-aged man.

"Ahem, please... you, a stranger."

The voice became lower and lower, as if the wind was about to dissipate.

"Please...you...leave...humanity...history..."

"Give...'fire'...to...the next person..."

She called this small glass bottle "tinder."

The fire of mankind, the fire of hope, the fire of civilization that will not become rigid, the fire that contains thousands of years of history.

This may be the end of a superhero, passing the fire to the next person, and then dying.

She likes spring very much.

But if history is buried, the spring of civilization will not come. People will forget all warm things and become cold and standardized. There will be no long-standing art and songs to awaken their original souls.

She could die, she was afraid of it, but she wanted the fire to burn.

Therefore, although she didn't even know who the other party was, she had no choice.

——I’m sorry to let you, a stranger, bear this responsibility. I’m sorry. Please accept this "tinder".

Tina closed her eyes and stopped breathing.

…

Su Mingan came back to consciousness from the oil painting. He pressed his heart, which was beating very fast.

He looked at the oil painting - a female doctor in a white coat staring at a petri dish under the light. The meaning of this painting is different in his eyes, it contains the burden of a soul.

"Twenty seconds." Noel said from the side: "You looked at this painting for twenty seconds."

Su Mingan nodded. It seemed that time flowed at a different speed.

He looked at the second oil painting, which showed the middle-aged man - the middle-aged man was shouting in the conference hall, and the MPs in the audience were watching him.

Soon, Su Mingan's five senses sank into it.

…

[No.2 link the fire (fire carrier)·Ruth (Ruth)]

…

Ruth never forgot the dead woman.

She handed a small glass bottle into her hand, like her crystal clear heart.

For some reason, the moment he touched the glass bottle, all the memories of Tina's life flooded into his mind, like a memory transfer.

Ruth is a coalition politician. After getting the special medicine, he decided to hide it until he became strong enough to use it.

He was constantly attending meetings to make people take history seriously.

He stood on a high platform and shouted, hoping that people would regain their past memories.

He wrote articles and articles in the hope of finding someone who could make the most of the special medicine.

However, the gods soon focused on him and found that the special medicine was hidden in his hands.

That day, Ruth was sitting in her home, and the setting sun fell on the glass bottle in his hand, like a shining star in the universe.

Before the Holy Alliance troops came to execute him, he teleported the glass bottle through the talisman. This is a completely random teleportation, there is no telling where the glass bottle will teleport to.

——No matter who you are, please accept this "tinder".

He has reached the end of his life, but this glass bottle will continue... to be passed on.

Until the day we see the light of day.

“I’ve actually always liked ballads from the past.”

He sat on the bed and hummed softly. The gods do not allow people to trace history, but he is very rebellious and sings the folk songs of his hometown repeatedly, which are songs from hundreds of years ago——

"It was a wonderful time,"

“The cracks in the walls will be filled and the flowers in the garden will bloom.”

"One loves in flames and in screams."

"Wind, wind, please don't go and never come back. Please don't go and never come back."

"The white morning flowers are here, and the blessings of the world come to you in your dreams."

"My child, my child, please don't go and never come back. Please don't go and never come back."

"Your life will be bright and healthy."

"Life after life, eternal life. Life after life, eternal life..."
