Chapter 1083 Sacrifice and the Future
The funeral started two days later, at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Since the finishing work of the surviving hospital has not yet been carried out and there are more things to prepare, the funeral this time was only an internal announcement and was not made public.
In addition to representatives and members of major lineages, as a member and successor of the Kingdom of Heaven lineage, Huaishi also received a notice and invitation from the secretariat under Russell's arrangement to accompany Russell and attend together.
As expected, the atmosphere at the scene was solemn. Under the projection of the current scene in the spacious auditorium, all participants were calm and serious, sitting in their seats without saying a word.
Chu Hai, the returning natural enemy, sat silently next to Xuanniao, silently staring at the names engraved on the wall. It is said that the siblings Lucius and Lucia are still receiving treatment in the survival hospital and were unable to be present in person.
Originally, Huaishi thought she would be able to see Mr. Luo, but the old man who looked down upon life and death with cold eyes did not come. After getting what he wanted from the Astronomical Society, he returned to hell again.
He didn't even see Huai Shi again, but left him a note asking him to tell her where he was going when he saw Luo Xian again.
He didn't want to say more about the inside story, so Huai Shi sighed and put away the message.
He raised his head and looked towards the stage.
Yegor, who was slightly late, looked extremely haggard. There had been too many things in the past few days, which were constantly torturing his spirit and endurance. However, Yegor was still an ordinary person. Even with the technology of the Astronomical Society, the effect would be limited after all. .
If there wasn't still a little bit of rest time, I'm afraid there would be one more person on today's list.
"Today we gather together to commemorate the fallen heroes. May their heroic spirits last forever and shine on the world."
In the silent hall, only the hoarse voice echoed.
He chanted each passing name so hard, as if he was trying his best to squeeze it out of his heart.
In the solemn atmosphere, only the low words echoed.
"Their sacrifices were not in vain. Due to their dedication, the element of destruction, Bo Xun, was successfully contained. As a result, more than two hundred Abyss Orders collapsed, and countless Solidified Ones ushered in eternal sleep.
Dream sickness, Omega Sadism, Deep Syndrome, Psychic Fission, and many other source of plagues and memetic infections have been eradicated. The cumulative number of rescued people is more than 164,000, and there are even more...
The resulting correction value has reached 46% and is still growing slowly and synchronously. These are the treasures they left behind, and they will also be the light that guides us to move forward..."
Huai Shi didn't hear the rest of the words clearly.
Too suffocating.
As a result, he gradually fell into a trance while listening for a long time.
It wasn't until a long time later, when Russell patted his shoulder and woke him up, that he realized that there was no one in the auditorium.
Everyone has left.
Only he and Russell were left sitting here, staring at the names engraved in the iron stone.
"it's over?"
Huai Shi asked blankly.
"Otherwise?" Russell asked back: "Let's go, Huaishi, I still have work in the afternoon..."
Huaishi said nothing.
After two days of shock, he still had not recovered from that brief announcement.
After excluding the irrelevant embellishments, those straightforward results are too cold, which always makes people feel depressed and unable to resolve them.
He even doubted whether the guys from the command bureau did it on purpose.
There is a sense of step-by-step indifference.
Unpleasant.
"Isn't this too chilling?" He sighed tiredly.
"Isn't that what bureaucracies are like?" Russell shook his head, "Comparing the results, it's all worth it, Huaishi, you have to learn to accept reality.
Besides, who would be surprised by something that has long been expected? "
"……you……"
Huai Shi stiffened, "What do you mean?"
"Do you know what the style of the Survival Institute is? It's not about being sure, but about being foolproof!"
Russell sighed, "They won't speak normally, but once they speak, as long as they follow their plan, there will be absolutely nothing wrong with them.
Unless it is absolutely safe, they will never move lightly or take any risks. If the Administrative Bureau is a middle-balanced group, then they and the Utopia are the two absolute extremes——
But have you ever thought about how there are so many sacrifices despite having planned for so many years? "
In a hurry, Huaishi felt her head buzzing.
Incomprehensible.
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Literally, Huai Shi, the list of sacrifices was destined from the beginning."
Russell answered bluntly: "Perhaps, when that timetable was written, the battle against Bo Xun had not yet begun...
For me, most of them would have received news of their own death before setting off.
Even according to the style of the Survival Institute, the time of death may be accurate to the minute.
Everything is part of the plan, Huai Shi, all sacrifices are meaningful, and all deaths must belong to something.
Their funerals had been held long before departure.
What is here today is just a process... an announcement, an official answer, a notice to everyone who should know, other than that, it has no meaning. "
Russell paused, sighed, and looked at the sky in the distance.
"——Because the person who really needs a funeral is not here."
When the mighty bell rings in the blue sky, countless white doves rise into the sky.
At this moment, Eastern Xia, Rome, Egypt, America...everything in the current situation ushered in silence again.
Like a mournful moment of silence.
Play the dirge.
At the price of so many sacrificed miracles.
Use the correction value brought by this struggle as a contribution.
Using the three secret rituals as a guide——
In the deepest part of the Astronomical Society, the light on the Silent Man's stele was lit up again.
The projection of the Silver Sea reappeared, and the sea of souls that gathered all human beings was surging with gorgeous waves, and the sound of the tide was like singing.
The power to correct the world is at work here again!
Let the waves rise again in the eternal dazzling sea.
Toward the border defense front where the flames of war are still burning at this moment - on the endless sea, in the eternal mist, in the iron rain of the wasteland, between the burning mountains...
Also towards hell.
Those pioneering teams buried between the wind, snow and sharp blades, those lonely dead lost in the depths, and those fearless people who smiled and snuggled together, hugging each other and dying.
In the struggles that began not long ago, in the wars that will continue into the future...
The waves of silence coming from the current situation slowly expanded.
Just like a belated mother, she gently opens her arms and embraces every wandering lonely soul, soothing the sadness and despair on all empty faces.
Finally, smile and hold their hands.
On the way home.
From now on, there will be no more obstacles on the way home!
Half a month later, in Dongxia, the deepest part of the dragon's veins, a mighty long chant echoed.
Amidst the brilliant flames flowing underground, an ancient stone altar slowly rose, glowing with dark light under the blessing of numerous secret rituals.
In the slowly opened coffin, the strong smell of herbs continued to rise with the bubbles.
The reborn person slowly opened his eyes.
Then he saw Xuanniao’s smiling face.
"How does it feel to live your life again?"
"It's terrible." Fu Canguang gasped and shook his head: "It feels like... like running away from the battlefield... Where are the others? Are the others okay?"
"Jixiang Tian has reached the end of his life and left a legacy in advance; the consciousnesses of Awenhayi and Tipiuret have probably returned to the embrace of the living god; Surtur's solidification has long been irreversible. He was the first to sign up, I'm afraid... As for the Survival Institute, they have their own arrangements, and we outsiders can't control them, but they will never let this sacrifice go to waste."
Xuanniao sighed softly and patted his shoulder: "Ah Hai spent a lot of effort to bring you back, don't let his hard work go in vain."
"I know."
Fu Canguang was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly, "I've only helped take care of my daughter for a few years, and to have someone return such a huge favor is too overwhelming."
As he said that, he was about to get up, but suddenly he froze in place.
"That's not quite right..."
In the silence, he lowered his head in confusion, looked at his hands, and gradually widened his eyes: "Is there something wrong?"
The echo of thunder that used to be as natural and smooth as breathing in the past has disappeared, and the eternal blessings from Qilin have been completely consumed.
The stigmata is gone.
more importantly……
"Isn't this normal? What's wrong?"
Xuanniao picked up the camera hidden in his sleeve and pointed it at the dull face of his old friend: "Come, look here, this is a precious souvenir... Look at you, you are so alive and kicking, aren't you very... very... very... Is it cute?"
Plop.
In the silence, so clear.
In the distance, Kuafu, who poked his head behind the door, couldn't hold it in any longer. He hugged his belly, laughed hysterically, and slapped the ground, causing the mountains to shake.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!"
In the reflection of the camera lens, Fu Canguang raised his head, revealing his plump white cheeks, which were pink and waxy, like little dumplings.
He stared blankly at his new body.
"What the hell!"
The former No. 1 in Eastern Xia screamed in a milky voice, "Why have I turned into a two-year-old child?"
"What's wrong with the child? The child has great potential!"
Xuanniao's expression became serious, and he replied earnestly: "Don't you know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a family? You only have so much soil left at home, so when you're a member, you'll save it!"
To be honest, if I weren't afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, I would have omitted some things for you..."
"Old guy, I'll kill you!!!"
Fu Canguang roared angrily, jumped up suddenly, jumped with all his strength, and punched Xuanniao on the knee.
Then, there was a crisp snap from the young fingers.
He bent down slowly.
Wow.
I cried out in pain...
After a short rest and examination, it was confirmed that there was only swelling and no other problems, and Can Guang's 'kid' was discharged from the hospital smoothly.
In order to maintain his remaining dignity, he sternly refused the children's clothes provided by Bai Ze and still wore his original clothes... except that the sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up many times, making them look particularly weird.
When walking, it will accidentally slip out of the collar.
A certain young man with the original surname who passed by called him cute. After pinching his face twice, he walked away without noticing the gradually cold eyes behind him.
Damn boy, just wait! When I get my level up again, you'll be damned dead!
In Xuanniao's office, sitting behind the desk again, the two finally had time to chat about the details of the mission.
"Where's Xiaobai?"
Fu Canguang, who had just settled down, asked directly.
"Fell asleep."
Xuannio tilted his head and wanted to light the cigarette, but after seeing Fu Canguang's current state, he reluctantly put the cigarette down, making the former number one in Dongxia furious again.
In order to prevent everyone's years of friendship from being ruined, he quickly continued the original topic: "Xiao Bai is fine, no problem. It's just that after seeing you die with my own eyes, you will reach nirvana when you come back. I guess you will sleep for a long time this time time.
It seemed that he was too sad. "
"There's nothing we can do to hide it from her." Fu Canguang shook his head, his young face showing an incongruous vicissitudes of life: "What about the death calamity? What about the death calamity that was originally seven years later?"
Xuanniiao was silent for a long time, but stopped talking.
Fu Canguang's eyes widened and he almost got up from the chair and stood on the table. He couldn't believe it: "Hey, I died once and I took out the unicorn. It won't be in vain, right?!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it won't happen!"
Xuanniao had a complicated look on his face and waved his hand, "100% to 60% is no longer absolute. Besides, there is Ah Hai, so there will probably be no trouble."
"That's pretty much it..."
Fu Canguang breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on the table, and snorted coldly: "I told you many years ago: a soldier like this is just drinking poison to quench his thirst! Not only will it harm the peace of the world, but it will also harm his descendants. The bad thing is that the whole family will die, but you just don’t fucking listen! You had to let Ah Hai advance, do you regret it now?"
"Otherwise?" Xuanniao asked back: "When Lu Wu was about to die, didn't you know what the Dongxia pedigree was like? You even risked your life to practice magic skills reversely, so you didn't allow others to sacrifice?"
Fu Canguang said nothing.
For a moment, both of them fell into silence.
But compared to the solemn atmosphere before, the atmosphere is now much more relaxed.
Finally, the serious trouble left by the year was gone.
After so many years of waiting, so much planning and preparation, with this achievement of eliminating the elements of destruction, the correction value obtained offsets the original increasing calamity.
The difficulty of solidification after seven years has disappeared, but in contrast... it happened to be a red luan star moving, and it was pointed at someone who gave Xuanniao a toothache!
Dry!
This is what makes Xuanniao most damn uncomfortable.
After all the calculations, the most crucial part was missed... Could this be fate?
It’s a bit too outrageous!
Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and then was kicked in the face by Fu Canguang.
"Stop looking, I don't have much life left, and I'm still looking." Fu Canguang glanced at his calm expression and became furious: "I look over and over every day. What can you see?"
"I just hope I can see the future."
Xuanniao was silent for a long time and shook his head: "Be prepared, Can Guang, we don't have much time left."
Signs of chaos have emerged.
Even if he couldn't see anything clearly, he could feel that more cruel, more ferocious, and darker changes were slowly brewing in the rolling tide of fate, gradually approaching the world.
No one knows how much time is left for them.
"It's useless to think too much. You can only scare yourself."
Fu Canguang stood up on tiptoes hard and patted his shoulder: "When all the old people like us are dead and the young people have grown up, leave the future to them."
"Who said I could work for another thirty years?"
"Thirty years? Haha, you can hold on for ten more years!"
"As long as you don't lose in terms of momentum, you can see how proficient he is in the Heavenly Kingdom pedigree. I have learned it."
"Forget it, they call it bravery in battle, you can't learn it if you act like this!"
…
In this long afternoon, dust fell from the sunlight outside the window.
Occasionally, while dealing with things, Xuanniao couldn't help but lower his head and look at the deepest part of the dragon's veins, the slender outline between the countless streams of light.
Under the phantom of the giant scarlet bird's wings, the girl was a quiet sleeper, immersed in a long dream. All around, faint lightning appeared.
There is only one final step left...
"Sleep, sleep, and when you wake up, you will grow up."
Xuanniao smiled expectantly and whispered his blessings.
Leave behind the haze that has been transferred to your future as a price and don't care.
Even if there is more darkness in the darkness, it will still be darkness and there will be no change. It doesn't actually matter if you sink deeper or shallower into the quagmire.
But light only requires pure light, without any flaws.
After completely integrating this piece of Bandai Ruize from Qilin, in ten years at most, there will no longer be the second Bai Dizi of Eastern Xia in this world.
Only the youngest natural enemies...
——Natural enemy Bai Dizi!
