Chapter 1487 Edge of Tomorrow

"Name?"

Huai Shi opened her eyes and didn't see the familiar ceiling.

Suddenly I felt a little lost and uneasy.

In silence, he looked around the unfamiliar ward and scratched his head in confusion: "...Why am I not in the Survival Hospital?"

Why didn't I go to the luxurious presidential suite in my hospital?

This is outrageous.

Is it because the salary has been reduced?

Mr. Ai, do you have any idea?

Ai Qing, on the other hand, showed a vivid look of disgust, "The Survival Institute thought your death was not thorough enough, so they mended it a little and threw it back.

If you really think it is a good thing to open your eyes in the survival hospital, you can try harder next time, and work harder.

Anyway, I see that Mr. Shah looks very sorry... Maybe you have some exclusive medical services that you are not able to experience. "

"..."

The corners of Huai Shi's eyes suddenly twitched.

This wave, this wave is going in both directions.

Could it be that I should really consider going to the Survival Institute to apply for an annual pass?

At this moment, Huaishi once again felt the power of the black technology and black magic of the Survival Institute - before she closed her eyes, she still looked like she was about to die. When she opened her eyes again, it seemed as if she had just slept for a long time. Feeling so refreshed that I can even run a sled marathon with my tongue wagging around.

It's so terrifying.

Well, there is a subtle feeling, as if it has been taken apart and put back together again, with a refreshing feeling of adding some lubricant.

What's this?

A life-restart maintenance package?

"No, how long have I been asleep?!"

He suddenly jumped up from the bed and remembered a fatal event - advancement! I'm going to advance! Don't delay your advancement time by sleeping on it!

"Don't worry, it's only eleven hours from when you fainted to when you woke up."

Ai Qing glanced at his expectant expression and shook her head slightly: "In other words, this is only the second day - Mr. Nakajima asked me to tell you that your treatment work has affected the efficiency of the project, resulting in The delivery was delayed by three and a half hours and that is your responsibility, not theirs."

"Postponed?"

Huai Shi was stunned, and immediately started counting with his fingers - after the eleven days mentioned last time, including the day he stayed in the Ivory Tower and the four days of the regeneration plan, today is the fifth day, adding up to six days, that is to say ...There are still five days before I can advance?

No, five days for delivery, at least two days for installation, and one day for debugging and testing. Even in the past two months, Ivory Tower had already started preparing his advanced secret ritual and auxiliary materials.

In other words, it will take eight days for me to advance?

It’s so difficult for me!

It’s like a year!

I even wanted to borrow the Rainbow Bridge and go directly to eight days later.

Totally can’t wait!

"I guess you are thinking about the Rainbow Bridge again. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

Ai Qing once again sent two buckets of ice water to Huai Shi's unrealistic idea: "Leave aside the cost and price of time transmission, this function has been disabled by various time interferences on both sides long before the war between the worlds started. . And you are almost on their blacklist. If they are willing to open the regular transmission to you, you should thank them for their generosity."

"What about the regeneration plan?"

Huai Shi asked: "Is it over?"

"Yes, it's over, so just relax and practice well." Ai Qing said, "Although as a winner, the victory is not that glorious, but just as you promised, I won."

"Then what?" Huai Shi looked straight at her, his eyes full of expectation.

"..."

Ai Qing sighed helplessly: "Then, I blew up the head of the Pioneer Association. Although it was just one of them, the form outweighed the meaning."

"Great!"

Huai Shi raised his hands in celebration and lay down on the bed without any worries. For a moment, he couldn't help but sighed: "Although this wave is very exciting, it's a pity for London..."

"Um?"

Ai Qing was puzzled, "What happened to London?"

"No, I mean destruction." Huai Shi said awkwardly, "I'm quite embarrassed."

"What are you embarrassed about?"

Ai Qing asked back: "In total, it only destroyed six blocks and a few old buildings, not even half as much as the previous one.

If you really want to talk about the losses, these things combined are not as big as when you invaded the Rainbow Bridge. "

"Ah this..."

Huaishi's poems are dull.

It's unbelievable!

Only a few blocks?

It shouldn't be.

Although it is a good thing to be less destructive, while I am happy, I actually feel a sense of loss that I have regressed.

All I can say is that, as expected of the current situation, London is really hard!

It is much better than Helios, the Eternal Paradise, and the Land of Nothing...

There was such a huge wave of static, but it was not defeated by him. In the end, he only bombed a few deserted blocks. The regeneration plan was really awesome.

Well, the Administration, not bad!

Only Ai Qing was watching the changes in his expression from beginning to end, and couldn't help but want to shake her head.

...What are you so proud of?

"So, what's the result?" After sighing for a while, Huaishi finally asked the most important thing, the result of the regeneration plan.

The so-called new order.

He was ready to eat melon.

Ai Qing was well prepared and simply picked Huai Shihui and said with interest: "Every aspect involved is almost equivalent to a complete revolution. In the next four to five years, the Administration will gradually carry out Reorganize.

The management of the border will be strengthened, but the current situation will make corresponding concessions in exchange for the support of the five permanent members and major lineages.

The existence of the decision-making room has not been cancelled, but it has been adjusted to the next level in sequence, and the position of director of the governing bureau will be re-established. "

What can be expected is that in the near future, Yegor, the current Secretary-General of the Decision-making Office of the Administrative Bureau and the nominal head of the Administrative Bureau, will be sworn in as the director of the Administrative Bureau.

Use this as a stepping stone to once again take a crucial step towards the position of president of the Astronomical Society!

Will the old bastard have a headache now?

Huai Shi scratched his chin, feeling a little helpless—does this count as indirectly siding with the enemy?

But regardless of whether he has it or not, as long as the regeneration plan exists, the reorganization of the command bureau is inevitable. To a certain extent, this adjustment has also left a crucial gap for the development of the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy.

The Administration chose to make concessions for the future reconstruction of the Utopia.

The gains and losses involved are really difficult to calculate, so leave it to Russell to deal with the headache. At worst, I will be arranged by him a few more times, just to comfort the teacher's injured soul.

"Where's Solomon?"

Huai Shi finally asked: "His proposition..."

"This is also the focus of this reform. In the future, the command bureau will continue to allocate an additional 11% of resources to the four major legions. A large number of technologies will also be open to deployment after application to improve the survivability of the soldiers. .

Solomon's purpose has been achieved, Huaishi. "

She paused and looked at Huai Shi with a complicated look: "Also, the authority of Legion Fist has been tried to be installed in some teams.

After getting the test results, someone has already suggested that you be roped in to the top of the bureau at all costs..."

"real or fake?"

Huai Shi was shocked.

I thought that my journey as a second- and fifth-year-old boy had come to an end. Why did a new version suddenly appear?

"yes."

Ai Qing replied unhappily: "The door of the Pioneer Association is open to you. When the time comes and you give everything for this situation, all the source of weapons can be downloaded and shared for individual souls through the Silver Sea. That is really heavenly. A great thing. I suggest you consider it seriously.

After all, the opportunity is too good to miss, right? "

"..."

Huai Shi's expression couldn't help but twitch slightly.

God damn, join the high-rise. Whose high-rise is a specimen showroom? !

Co-authoring is an invitation to donate your body to the current situation, right?

After tasting the sweetness of Legion's Fist, it was not enough, and I wanted to make another wave of investment myself.

Is that a little too much?

However, he didn't regret it.

Anyway, the origin of Legion's Fist, an elemental weapon, is Solomon. Its nature, it should be said, is the weapon least suitable for Huaishi himself among all the elemental weapons.

Its power is determined by the number and determination of its members, and the destruction it wreaks comes from the sacrifice of souls.

The more people there are, the more effective the weapon is. The longer the blood bar is burned, the more destructive it is.

It sounds very consistent with Huai Shi, but the positioning completely overlaps with what Yun Zhongjun and Da Siming are good at.

After all, if Huai Shi wants to unite the people into one, he has Yun Zhongjun, and if he wants to expand the group, he has Da Si Ming. Once a double cycle is formed, cheating players will become stronger as they fight with full blue and full health.

With the Great Mystery at its back, battery life can be guaranteed.

As for the destructive power, he has the Origin Armament and Ultimate Intent at the near side, Yun Zhongjun's Dragon Vein Thunder and Tianque Sword at the far side, ultra-long-range strikes, and the Nautilus which is on the blacklist of the Five Permanent Realms.

Not lacking at all.

Even if there is a real need, directly communicate with the Sea of ​​Silver through the Great Mystery, and then take it back to use as an envoy, will the commanding bureau still dare to stop it?

It's just a matter of whistling.

Just as he promised Solomon, he would do whatever he could to help those soldiers who sacrificed in obscurity.

It's just a source of weaponry. If it can be effective, Huaishi will feel happy and relieved no matter how stingy and painful it is.

Isn't this exactly what I want to see?

"It's quite good."

Huai Shi laughed and didn't care about anything else.

Then, he saw what Ai Qing handed over, a black box.

She said: "The current defense bureau gave it to you as a thank you."

"..."

In a daze, Huaishi opened the box and saw an old pistol - a battle-hardened pistol covered with scratches and traces of war. It could be seen that it was well-maintained and every part was Immaculately maintained and restored.

Holding it in your hand, you can feel the reassuring weight.

What attracts Huaishi are the marks engraved on the wooden grip - cast iron, original darkness, deep space, and dawn. All the emblems of the four major legions are inlaid on it.

What's more important is that Huai Shi has definitely seen this gun before.

That's Solomon's gun.

"For me?"

"Yes, and no one is qualified to use it but you - that's what they said."

Ai Qing nodded and sighed softly: "Congratulations, Huai Shi, from today on, the four legions will be your most loyal allies.

You will be regarded as Solomon's true successor, even though you have never been among the four legions. As long as you give the order, countless soldiers will die in service. "

"Then forget it."

Huai Shi looked at the gun in his hand, shook his head, put it back into the box, closed it again, and stopped looking at it.

"Aren't you going to accept it?"

"No, no matter what I say, it's all from my heart." Huai Shi said, "I'll ask Xiao Yuan to make a shelf later. It would be nice to put it in the office. It's very interesting."

In this way, it is an understatement and shelved.

"Don't you think it's a pity to do this?"

"To say it's a pity, it's more of a headache, right?"

Huai Shi laughed at himself: "I am not Solomon's successor, because Solomon's successors are among the legions, and there is definitely more than one.

What I want is not for them to die, but for more people to live. "

He is destined not to be as ruthless as the Command Bureau.

He cannot abandon the people who trust him, nor can he issue orders with peace of mind that will lead others to their death.

Even if he just thinks about being left alone to die in a siege, he will feel sad. When he hears that someone died for him, his heart feels like a knife.

This may be the most unsuitable gift in the world for me.

But it was so heavy that I couldn't refuse.

"It's really your style...but it's not bad."

Ai Qing nodded, but did not stop her.

It's like I've already gotten used to it.

The two never spoke again.

When the long silence came, a long, long time later, when Huai Shi could hardly bear it anymore and took the initiative to find a topic, he suddenly heard Ai Qing's voice.

The woman who was immersed in recording suddenly raised her head, looked at him, and asked the question hidden in her heart: "Huai Shi, what kind of world do you want?"

Such a question is so unexpected.

But Huaishi didn't know how to answer.

When he thought about it carefully, he couldn't imagine how to describe his ideal world so that people could understand it.

But in the final analysis, this is not a complicated matter.

When he came to his senses, he found that the answer was so simple.

"It doesn't matter what kind of world it is, as long as it makes people happy."

He replied equally solemnly, "It's best for everyone."

"..."

Ai Qing was silent for a long time, then seemed to laugh at herself: "It's so difficult to create such a world."

"That's why it's so far away."

Huaishi shrugged.

Even for an ideal country, it is too crazy.

It's like a fantasy.

How could a world where everyone could live happily ever exist? Even if we are separated from the abyss forever, can people really escape the hell they have created?

"So, at least try to make an effort."

Huaishi said: "I feel that even if there is one more person, even if happiness is like an illusion, it only lasts for a while... as long as you have it, it is worth it."

Ai Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "It doesn't sound like you."

"Just consider it from the perspective of reality." Huai Shi replied, "Only after you understand the reality can you have the prerequisite for establishing an ideal, right?"

"It is indeed an ideal country..."

"If anything, it's just that you recognize the gap between ideals and reality, right?"

Huaishi laughed at himself and sighed: "I still don't like the command bureau, and I can't accept those utilitarian and cold practices."

"I know." Ai Qing nodded, not surprised.

But Huaishi didn't stop. After taking a deep breath, he extended an invitation: "So, do you want to come to my place, Ai Qing?

if……"

"no."

Ai Qing shook her head decisively, interrupting his words and causing Huai Shi to fall into silence.

The courage and impulse I finally mustered up dissipated again.

But she was still looking at him, no longer pretending to be indifferent or serious, just staring into his eyes calmly and peacefully.

"Because you are not a flower in someone else's garden, Huaishi."

She said, "Me neither."

"Um."

Huai Shi nodded and said no more.

Until in the silence, he heard Ai Qing calling his name again.

"Sophora poems."

"Um?"

Huai Shi looked up and saw her eyes again, as well as her reflection in her pupils.

She is looking at herself.

Solemn and serious.

Without any cover-up.

She said, "There are so many people in this world, but I am the only one who I don't want to bow my head in front of you."

"I know."

Huai Shi nodded and answered without thinking: "Because I am too."

At that moment, Huai Shi saw the slight curvature of the corners of her mouth.

Fleeting.

It's like laughing.

So enjoyable.

In the long silence, there seemed to be a faint chirping of cicadas in the clear sky outside the window.

Is summer here?

Huai Shi closed her eyes and laughed.

The afternoon sun was so gentle, falling from the clear sky, illuminating the lush gardens outside the window, the crowded square in the distance, and more busy roads leading to all directions.

Countless forest-like buildings washed away the dust in the rain, reflecting the bright sunshine, glowing like crystals in this beautiful moment brought by the breeze.

Everything seems to be enveloped in a beautiful halo.

The world is still moving forward.

Step by step, bit by bit, away from the hell chasing behind me.

Toward the Kingdom of Heaven...

And in the dark abyss, when everything came to an end, there was only silence in the huge palace wrapped in countless bloody threads.

In the silence, Tiancheng remained silent, holding his breath and restraining the urge to tremble.

Don't dare to look up.

It was difficult to restrain the fear and trembling in my heart.

Not because of the Piper's wrath.

From beginning to end, the face shrouded in mist was so calm.

Witnessing everything in the projection, there was no anger, no laughter, just like an excellent bystander, without saying a word, witnessing the disastrous defeat and end of the other self.

Then, no more words were spoken.

But inexplicably, what made Tiancheng fear and tremble was some kind of hypothesis that emerged in his mind, a guess that even he himself couldn't believe.

——The face behind the fog seemed to be shrouded in great sadness.

Silent tears.

Such pain and despair.

Tiancheng closed his eyes, not daring to look or think again, let alone imagine whether the malice that might be brewing in that back figure would engulf him.

To ravage, to crush, to destroy, to become shattered!

All he could do was lie on the ground, shivering.

Asking for mercy in case.

"Don't be afraid, Tiancheng."

The flute player said without looking back: "You have never done anything wrong, and I will not be angry with you. I just... suddenly found out what I had lost."

"..."

In the brief silence, Tiancheng trembled and mustered up the courage to perform his duties: "I, I don't understand."

"Ah, I don't know how to describe it to you."

The flute player sighed softly, holding his chin, as if he was pondering, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever had that feeling, Tiancheng?

For example, you once loved a book very much, loved its story, and loved its style. Every time you turned a new page, it was a great enjoyment... You couldn't even believe that there is such a rare thing in this world. Something wonderful.

You are so focused on the development of this story, you care about the life and death of each character, and you are even more looking forward to the final ending.

Take the trouble to guess its plot, invest in it, and enjoy the pleasure of every plot.

One after another.

It becomes more magnificent, more heroic, and more tragic.

All of this is so intoxicating. "

The flute player asked: "Have you ever had such an experience?"

In the silence, Tiancheng did not dare to speak anymore. He had exhausted all his reason just to control the fear in his heart, unable to suppress the increasingly clear speculations.

Absolutely, no answer.

"Yes, it's just like you imagined."

The flute player sighed hoarsely, as if smiling: "But no matter how beautiful the time is, it will come to an end.

The longer you watch, the more familiar the experience becomes, more and more plots you can guess, and the endings of the characters become clearer and clearer, and then, you find... everything becomes more and more boring.

It's like reading the same chapter over and over again, it becomes more and more boring and completely makes you uninterested.

But, even so, you still didn't give up! "

“Because you can feel that between the lines, in the author’s hints and the direction of the plot, it is moving towards an ending, a real ending.

Everything is heading towards a great war that will burn you to death without any regrets! "

The flute player turned back and looked at him, his blurry face was so enthusiastic: "At that time, all things will come to an end, and all destruction will be given great significance!

What you long for and wait for is that ending! "

Yes, he could feel it.

Call it destiny or call it prediction, he can smell the breath of the end.

The terrifying thing that is gradually approaching.

It is more ferocious than hell, more cruel than the abyss, and more cold and solemn than death.

It is gradually emerging from the darkness.

Born from a long gestation...

No matter how boring and boring it is, just thinking about its existence will make you tremble with excitement.

As long as you find clues related to him, you will be overjoyed.

Because of this, I am looking forward to the final battle ten thousand times more than usual!

Ah, that great power that is enough to make the final decision is about to appear.

He could feel that the character who would end everything was about to step onto the stage!

"But I can't wait for the final climax."

At that moment, the flute player's smile disappeared without a trace, and his empty face was so strange, as if he was looking at an irresistible fate.

"It's been taken away."

He said: "The character I was looking forward to has been killed in the distant, distant past."

There was a shameless cheater who took away all his happiness and expectations, and wiped out all his pursuits and expectations.

So cruel!

How dare you do this?

How could you do this? !

Even just thinking of this now makes him want to roar angrily, want to completely tear the person who stole all his hopes apart and burn him to ashes!

But there was nothing he could do.

He has lost everything he hoped for forever.

"That's why I'm so sad."

He sighed, stretched out his hand, and stroked the bloody threads that enveloped the hall, the countless knots, the countless contradictions, conflicts, and evils entangled with each other, radiating to the entire abyss.

"I have to do something."

The flute player murmured softly, and the hollow pupils were filled with flames that made Tiancheng's hair stand on end: "I must save everything!"

At that moment, Tiancheng was lying on the ground, his face pressed against the bricks.

Don't dare to make any sound.

Don't dare to disturb the flame that is so crazy that it is about to burn you out!

And as the flute player spoke, the chains, ropes, and threads one after another began to tremble violently, dancing as if facing a frenzy.

Under the rough tug of the flute player, the power that started at the end of Qingping spread to the entire abyss.

Connection, concern, love, cause and effect, order, hatred...

All the visible and invisible things have turned into ropes here, enveloping everything in a suffocating net, making it impossible to escape!

As long as the war continues, these bloody threads can be woven into the most perfect rope in the world, implicating each other.

As long as death exists, the connection between the current world and hell will never be severed!

"People in the current situation especially like to say that if there is no bond, you have to create it yourself..."

The flute player said to himself: "So, by the same token, if there is no ending, why not let me write it myself?"

Hysterical laughter sounded from the darkness again.

Along with the spreading dark storm.

come on.

The flute player called longingly, laughed, opened his arms, and embraced everything that was coming.

The so-called [destiny].

Or, the so-called [End]!

This time, he had seen it.

——An ending written by oneself!
