Chapter 1453 New Moon
"I can't do anything right now."
Facing the public expectations raised by Li Qiuluo, Sima Xuxu shook his head and stated this fact.
"The current situation of your 'Yue' system is indeed very bad. The alchemy matrix implanted and nursed since childhood was stuffed into the dragon heart you snatched from Li Huoyue without being officially activated. And the alchemy matrix The matrix has also been destroyed, and Orthodoxy has no means of repair for the time being, so we can only temporarily negotiate a measure to avoid the worsening of the condition. You will have to stay in the hospital for treatment for a long time," Li Qiuluo said,
"But the most important Holy Will is still with you. This is the only most correct thing you have done. Taking away the Holy Will is what saved your life. In any case, the Holy Will is now integrated with you. And it is difficult to distinguish them from each other. Even if there is no complete "moon" system to exert its full power, there is no doubt that you still have power far beyond ordinary people. "
"After regaining your power, will you choose to take on this responsibility?" Li Qiuluo asked.
Sima Xuxu lowered his eyes and finally nodded.
Li Qiuluo paused and said, "Then this means, Xuxu, you may have to bear unimaginable responsibilities and costs for this power in the future. Regarding this, I think if you are smart, you should have been prepared for this."
"Yeah." Sima Xuxu nodded.
"Then, I will report the nearby situation according to the procedure." Li Qiuluo adjusted his sitting posture slightly and sat upright, his expression calmed down.
"The secret party's visiting group has left in an orderly manner on a cross-country flight. They left the day before yesterday. When I went to see them off, I found that their morale was also very low. There was a secret party named 'Su Xiaoqiang' in the team. The interim commissioner of the Executive Department is also missing, and the secret party unilaterally refused to add her to the death list."
"After our active negotiation and strong request, the secret party, represented by the commissioner named Susie, exchanged with us part of the intelligence they had, which also made the original emergency situation on the ground clear to us. Some doubts can also be explained clearly.”
"First of all, the kings of the earth and mountains also exist in the form of twins. Their real names are Jormungandr and Fenrir respectively. As Xia Mi and Xia Wang, the identities of this pair of brothers and sisters are disguised in the secret party. In the visiting delegation, the secret party will also conduct internal accountability and investigation, and give the orthodox side an explanation."
"Secondly, the Dragon King we met on the ground near the ancient town of the Forbidden City was now identified as one of the twins, Jörmungandr. At that time, the elites of Lang Juxu who were still on the ground and the hybrids from other forces confronted him for a period of time. In the end, Jormungandr chose to retreat, and the reason has been investigated - the other twin Fenrir on the throne, Jormungandr's brother, died in the Nibelungs, and the dragon slayer was the secret The party's "leaders" were hybrids, Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei. They teamed up to kill Fenrir, which caused Jörmungandr to become confused and temporarily chose to retreat. ""The orthodox advance team in the Nibelungen. All have been evacuated. Although the death toll was high, it was not without gains. A large number of civilians and victims trapped in the Nibelung were rescued. The accompanying researchers also obtained a large amount of data and information in the Nibelung. The collected items and the Seven Deadly Sins have also been recovered. Depending on the degree of wear and tear, Tianji Pavilion will need to spend time to forge them again. Overall, we have gained a lot. As long as we are given a period of time, I believe that Nibelungen will be of no use to us. No matter how mysterious it is.”
"Jormungandr is still on the run. According to the secret party, Fenrir's body was buried in the collapsed Nibelung and cannot be recovered. Whether this statement is true or not remains to be verified, but it is between killing Fenrir and Rieux is indeed on the side of the Secret Party, and the temporary right of interpretation can only belong to them. If we have to decide whether to win or lose this dragon-slaying battle, the Secret Party will probably win. "
"The game called "Nine Levels of Ghost Realm" has been ordered to be taken off the shelves. We haven't found out who the investors behind the game are yet, but we can see that they just want to use this opportunity to make things bigger. But fortunately We stopped it, and all relevant information will be collected and organized by Kyushu. Some people believe that what really happened in Nibelungen may be reflected in the live replay of that game. This may be the reason why we understand the true nature of Nibelungen. One of the effective ways to find out what happened, but it still takes time, because there seems to be a supercomputer on the Internet trying to clean up those traces, preventing Kyushu from digging out the truth. "
"There is another thing. A wildfire broke out on the outskirts of the city in the past few days. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The rescue team was dispatched in a timely manner. They dug out the fire isolation belt and the helicopter extinguished the source of the fire. The source of the fire was The reason was that a tower in a deep mountain caught fire. The investor group of that tower was very complex, so there was no follow-up without too much investigation. Although the official report was that there were no casualties, according to the emergency fire brigade, when they arrived there. When they were under a burning splendid tower, they vaguely saw the back of a dressed-up woman on the top of the building disappearing into the flames. However, they found no human bones in the ruins afterwards, so there was nothing they could do about it. Of."
Li Qiuluo kept talking, explaining everything in detail, while Sima Xuxu just listened quietly, as if reporting work as usual. This will become the routine of the two of them in the future, and this scene will happen countless times.
After Sima Xuxu heard the summary of the information, he didn't have much reaction. No matter how horrifying the information was, he never had an overreaction. If he had heard before that Xia Mi and Xia Wang were the kings of the earth and mountains, At that time, he had jumped up, but now he just responded silently.
After Li Qiuluo finished speaking, he stopped, stared at Sima Xuxu, and asked in a low voice, "Xuxu, is your heart still here?"
Sima Xuxu slowly raised his head and looked at Li Qiuluo. The expression on his face was very calm, without anger or sadness. His red gold eyes that had never been extinguished since he woke up looked at this woman, nodded and said softly, " I’m here, always, and I’m not going anywhere.”
The ward fell into silence again. Li Qiuluo looked at Sima Xuxu on the hospital bed and suddenly said softly, "Xuxu, you are now ready."
The title of 'Moon' can now be handed over to this boy, because no one else has the ability and qualifications to hold this position except him. Even though the inheritance of the 'Moon' has been cut off in the Nibelungs, he now has to become the 'Moon' in the eyes of everyone, lighting up the road in the dark night.
This is the recognition that Sima Xuxu once dreamed of getting, but every time the people he expected to be recognized told him, you are not ready yet, you are still young.
Now, he was finally ready, and in a short period of time he had shed his youthful coat, and was considered a person with enough ability and perseverance to withstand the banner.
That's why Li Qiuluo squeezed out time from his busy schedule to see him, not only because he was worried about his safety, but also because he wanted to hand over all the information to him. This is the information that the orthodox 'Yue' should have, 'Yue' He should also make his own decisions to better lead those compatriots who trust him and follow him.
Whether Sima Xuxu is willing or not, that responsibility has fallen, and he will surely become the 'moon' on the bright side of orthodoxy in the near future.
There was a knock on the door, and the attending doctor stood outside and pointed to his wrist through the glass to indicate that the time was up.
Li Qiuluo stood up and prepared to leave the ward. When she turned around, she said, "According to tradition, a ceremony will be held after you are discharged from the hospital. Although it is only a superficial ceremony, it also symbolizes that you have become a better and new person. Your own opportunity. According to the code name agreed upon by the clan leaders, you will get your second name, which will also be the name that will be officially revealed to the public in the future. "
"No."
After entering this ward, Sima Xuxu said this word for the first time.
Li Qiuluo stopped and looked sideways at Sima Xuxu, who was looking at him on the bed, and asked, "I thought you had already made your decision."
"No." Sima Xuxu said softly, "I will take over my responsibilities, I just don't want to use that name."
"Are you referring to Shuangyue? If you don't like it, we can also use your original name. This is a negotiable matter. After all, the clan leaders have passed away, and some of the unchanging rules in the past can also be done within the appropriate scope. With proper optimization and adjustment, this is a reform that can be allowed." Li Qiuluo nodded.
Sima Xuxu looked at Li Qiuluo, and after a while, he said,
"Get the moon."
"What?" Li Qiuluo paused, stopped and turned around to look at him calmly.
"Huoyue." Sima Xuxu repeated, looking up into Li Qiuluo's eyes, "Sima Huoyue. I want to use this name after the ceremony."
"Okay. But I need an explanation." Li Qiuluo nodded slightly, "An official explanation to the outside world. I won't question your purpose of choosing this name, because you have ten thousand reasons to hate, but I need a reasonable explanation to the outside world. , and in a positive way, you should understand this truth.”
"I just want to do those things that this name should do, but she has forgotten and given up long ago." Sima Xuxu turned to look out the window at the dim moon obscured by drifting clouds in the dark night, "Sister Qiu Luo,' The name Hueyue could have symbolized something better, and she should have a better symbol. I think I should do the right thing. Some things are wrong, but she can't continue to be wrong. Isn't that what "Yue" means? Should we help and correct the bad things that she has not done? I want to do it, I want to do it better than her.”
Li Qiuluo saw no hatred or anger in Sima Xuxu's side eyes, but only the silence and firmness of determination. It was the flat and wide land that had been tamped by grief and tears.
During the silence after he woke up, he thought about some things clearly and made his own choice.
She stood motionless, looking at the boy with lowered eyes on the bed without saying a word. Finally, she smiled silently, turned around and opened the ward door and left, leaving Sima Xuxu alone in the room. He stretched out his hand and stroked his chest, feeling the two synchronized heartbeats, and feeling the emptiness on the other side of the broken thread swaying in the wind. His golden eyes silently looked out the window at the night sky of the city, not knowing what he was thinking.
