Chapter 1638 Decision
It is summer.
Then comes autumn, followed by winter.
The busy season always flies by. When the entire situation is moving towards a goal, few people will notice the change of seasons among countless tedious affairs.
Throughout the current situation, all the creators and scholars were working non-stop during this short period of time. Finally, before the end of winter, the fourth transformation project of [Great Mystery Zarathustra] 】The verification came to an end amidst the cheers and shouts of countless participants.
The nine hundred and eighty-ninth simulation of the Heavenly Kingdom Plan was also completed again. After adjusting sixteen minor items, the results leading to the future were once again verified.
In fact, if the speed is faster, the entire process can be completed in about three months.
But at this time, who doesn’t want to increase the success rate?
It doesn't matter even if you can only comfort yourself.
Take your time and make more preparations.
During this period, the second project, Rainbow Bridge, suffered more than four attacks, and maintenance work had to be stopped for a time. There were no fewer than thirty attacks on London itself, and, most notably, the Celestial Institution's buildings were blown up twice.
Many rebels who reject the Kingdom of Heaven plan are trying to sabotage it, delaying the progress of the Kingdom of Heaven plan, constantly announcing other plans, and accusing Huaishi of bringing the entire current situation into a dead end.
Among them, there are some unrepentant Green Day remnants, and many more are dissidents from various aspects and forces. And secretly, there is support and instigation from all parties.
In this regard, Huai Shi had no expression or wavering at all, and even when the headquarters of the Heavenly Kingdom Organization was completely burned down, there was no response.
Just calmly reshape everything and try to save the lives of the innocent people involved. And all the resisters and even... the assassins were all defeated by him neatly and neatly, and then thrown into the command bureau, where they were imprisoned and tried.
What is more worthy of his investment is maintaining the integrity of the entire current situation.
With the adjustment of the Great Mystery and the approach of doomsday, many borders have experienced irreversible collapse and collapse, large-scale population migration, and various natural disasters that continue to emerge and wreak havoc.
Storms, earthquakes, droughts, tsunamis…
With the degree of distortion rising rapidly, the doomsday is appearing day after day.
Everyone can clearly feel that the world is gradually becoming strange.
So cruel.
In between, there are also negotiations and coordination with all parties, and countless tasks have completely engulfed him.
Even, for a time, I forgot the passage of time.
It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he heard cheers and shouts coming from outside the office.
He froze in place.
"What's wrong?"
He raised his head blankly: "Have the 'anti-barbarian patriots' come to 'respect the king and punish traitors' again?"
"The preliminary work is over."
Ekaterina took off her glasses, raised her head, and looked at him with a complicated meaning.
"The current situation has been as you wished, and you are on the track of the heavenly plan, Huai Shi."
"All that's left is the final order," she said.
The Grand Mystery, the Rainbow Bridge, the Sea of Silver... the entire current situation has been adjusted, and only the final instructions are needed before the Heavenly Kingdom plan can be fully launched.
When all souls return to heaven along with the sea of silver, and all bodies complete the etherification and are transformed into event records, the twenty-four elements of destruction will complete the final integration in the present state.
At that time, the present situation will usher in its final end, and fall into the abyss with this unprecedented horror and disaster. And the dark sun will rise from it and destroy everything...
And a new world will be born from it.
If all goes well.
If there are no accidents.
No matter how many times we simulated and explored, how much time we spent in the overhead meeting room checking for deficiencies again and again, but at this moment, everyone was at a loss.
Can't help but hesitate.
The invisible big red button has been delivered to Huai Shi.
As long as he reaches out his hand, he can easily end everything in the past.
But after Huai Shi was silent for a long time, he finally seemed to react.
Looking at the empty desktop.
No new work has been delivered.
Before deciding to give up everything, the world ushered in the final tranquility.
Huai Shi put down the pen in his hand. After a long silence, he just let out a sigh of relief.
"How about we take a vacation?" he said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xuanniao raised his head in confusion.
"I mean, take a few days off."
Huai Shi suggested, "We are all exhausted. Let's take a good rest for two days. There is no need to rush.
Although the possibility of failure is low, it is still the last time spent in this world. After restarting, there will be a lot of troublesome work.
We have been busy for so long, and we can no longer work overtime to enter the new world.
So, let’s take two days off first. "
He thought for a moment and said seriously: "At least, I can finally rest before the world is destroyed."
In the silence, everyone looked at each other, but in their thoughts, they couldn't help but smile briskly.
Then take a holiday.
As the President wishes.
On this afternoon, not only in London, but also in the entire current situation, outside the branches of the governing bureau in various places, the passers-by who were used to it stopped slightly and turned back in surprise.
In the tall buildings, the lights that had been on for more than half a year were extinguished one by one.
From the elevator that opened in the office building, slightly staggering figures walked out one by one. Their numb faces were illuminated by the sun. They couldn't help but squint their eyes, raise their heads, and look at the world outside the window again.
The distant wind blew in their faces.
Those eyes that had become hollow from exhaustion and suffering lifted up, as if there was light.
There are even more people walking briskly, swinging their briefcases. They can't even wait for the elevator. They climb the stairs down, run from the square, or meet for dinner.
Some people are talking excitedly to the other end of the phone. When they meet colleagues who are already complaining and are about to vomit, they forget about their long-standing grievances and wave or give high-fives.
Others are just sitting on the benches in the square.
Basking in the sun.
Quietly looking at everything that was almost forgotten by him.
I don’t know who couldn’t help it first and shouted out.
Then more indulgent shouts arose in response, and smiles appeared on those faces. They waved the completed documents in their hands and threw them into the sky like fireworks.
"It looks like a carnival."
Huai Shi stood in front of the window, staring at their cheerful faces: "I just said, I still need more vacations."
No one responded.
The quiet office was also empty.
It’s no longer as lively as it used to be.
There was a knock on the door. Yuan Yuan stood at the door, holding two heavy cardboard boxes in his hands, and looked in curiously: "Teacher, aren't you leaving?"
Huai Shi shook his head: "I'll wait a moment."
Yuan Yuan thought for a moment, walked in, put down the box in his hand, and sat next to him: "Then I'll wait for a while."
"Where are Anna and Xiaojiu?" Huai Shi asked.
Yuan Yuan laughed: "Anna heard about the holiday and was afraid that you would change your mind, so she took the ladder and ran away. But Xiaojiu is still in Danbo and just called him to ask if there is a holiday there."
"He lives and eats at the dojo. Doesn't it matter whether he has a holiday or not?"
Huai Shi shook his head: "Forget it, let's all have a holiday... You can go too."
He said: "Xuanniao has complained to me many times these days. Mr. Yuan always has a bad face every time he sees him. He has not seen his good granddaughter for more than a year since he went to Heavenly Genealogy." That kid from Yuan Zhao was beaten a lot because of this, so he thought of coming to me for a fight... Unfortunately, no matter how hard he practices, he can't beat me."
At the end of the story, I felt the sadness and indignation of my little brother, and couldn't help but feel proud.
Familiar bad taste.
Yuan Yuan sighed helplessly, and finally asked: "What will happen to the security of the headquarters if I leave?"
"Aren't the four major legions still on duty?"
Huai Shi waved her hand: "I'm still here, don't worry."
Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Without saying anything else, he picked up the box, said goodbye and left.
Huai Shi was left alone in the office, scratched his chin, and sighed in shock: "I always feel like I am the guy who has no place to celebrate the New Year."
At this time, I felt that the bad position of president not only had no benefits, but was inconvenient everywhere.
It was a rare holiday, and wherever Huai Shi went, her nerves would be tense and she would be nervous to deal with inspections.
Everyone needs to go home.
Huai Shi found herself homeless.
Uncle Fang had already taken the lead to go to the Kingdom of Heaven a few days ago, while Tong Ji was still sleeping between the three pillars, relying on this final power of reality to replenish her soul.
The last time I visited Taiyi was not without cost.
Then, Huaishi was left alone with nowhere to go.
But there's nothing wrong with staying here.
He looked at the spotless but long-lost cello on the instrument stand in the corner of the room, stretched out his hand, and the body and bow fell into his hands.
The familiar weight is extremely reassuring.
"Long time no see, old man."
He felt the curvature of the neck and smiled softly: "You are still with me, right?"
The resonance box emits a faint lingering sound.
It's like a silent accusation, scolding a cellist who has forgotten his original intention.
Huai Shi smiled, adjusted the strings and the tone, and confirmed the condition of each string. Yuan Yuan maintained it very well and would come over to check the condition every once in a while. The smooth and low string tone was flawless.
When the bow is pulled, a gurgling melody flows out of it.
He did not activate his own essence, nor did he use any otherworldly skills. Just like he had done countless times when he was confused and exhausted, Huai Shi's eyes were lowered and he was immersed in the melody.
In the afternoon sunshine, the faint sound of the piano rose like a bird from the half-open window, spread its wings, and flew across the sky, as if it had merged into the endless blue.
No trace in sight.
But when the afternoon sun sets from the sky, it seems to have taken on a bit of the moistness and warmth of the melody, making it so gentle.
The breeze passed between the buildings, and white clouds slowly drifted from the sky.
The river flows as usual under the bridge.
A bird landed on the street lamp, lowered its head curiously, stared at the interlaced red and green lights, spread its wings, and soared away.
Everything I took for granted seemed so beautiful.
Since then, the gentle sighs have poured out.
"Uncle Fang, is there anything you want to do after arriving in the new world?"
When sending Uncle Fang off to heaven, Huai Shi asked curiously: "Have you ever wanted to take a trip? Or find a wife?"
"Ah, there are so many things to do, I don't even know how to arrange them in order."
Uncle Fang pinched his chin and looked a little sad: "I don't know how the food in the New World tastes. Master, you are not used to it...Should I bring the two cans of tea at home?"
"They will all be there, don't worry, Uncle Fang."
Huai Shi promised: "You just need to wait for me to save the world."
"If you ask me, this kind of thing can be done by someone else, right?"
Uncle Fang thought for a moment, looked at the man in front of him, and smiled, so satisfied: "For me, it doesn't matter whether the world is saved or not.
Compared to that, what I like to see more is your current appearance without confusion and high spirits. "
"Are you not at all confused...?"
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, silent, and couldn't help shaking her head in shame, "What if I'm confused, Uncle Fang?"
"You are not confused."
Uncle Fang still smiled and looked at him, as if he had already seen the wavering in his heart that he concealed: "In my opinion, maybe you are just hesitating... There is an answer in your heart, but you don't know it. Whether it’s correct or not, that’s why I feel struggling and hesitant, unable to make a decision.”
"You just have to decide."
Uncle Fang stretched out his hand, hugged him, and said goodbye at last: "As a Huaishi, just as a Huaishi, I will make a decision for myself. No matter what the outcome is, if there is still happiness in this world, it will definitely look after you."
I firmly believe this. "
He raised his head and saw in front of him the junior whom he had looked after for a long time, nodding with pride and happiness.
Just like that, he turned around and walked towards the kingdom of heaven.
Disappear.
Huaishi was left standing alone, melancholy looking up at the same sky as now.
The lingering sound gradually dissipated.
"Decision?"
In the silence, Huaishi sighed silently and stretched out his hand again.
Between the outstretched palms, a vague outline emerged again. Huaishi's final elemental weapon, the pure white longbow, gradually outlined his own shape and appearance.
However, when he waved the bowstring again, no arrows emerged from the low sound.
The arrow has left the string.
Its power cannot be used again.
But he could feel the distant sound coming from the axis intertwined by the three pillars in the deepest part of the world. In Tongji's sleeping soul, the outline of an arrow appears in Huaishi's perception.
So clear.
And... on himself.
Without tearing off his clothes, Huai Shi lowered his head and could see the same arrow.
running through his heart.
The power used to kill gods is also a shackles that entangles mortals and is destined to be impossible to escape.
Absolute reciprocity is by no means wishful thinking and cannot be established unless recognized by both parties. Once the balance is lost, the connection between each other will collapse.
The so-called love is such a cruel and harsh thing.
But unfortunately...
"Why are there so many!"
Countless times, when she was alone, Huai Shi raised her hand and pressed her forehead, sighing sadly.
And in the reflection of the mirror, his chest was almost completely filled with arrows...
——A total of six! ! !
When the long bow appears, you can see the intertwined arrows repelling each other in the soul and heart, causing pain that goes deep into the bone marrow all the time...
Huaishi didn't even know when she was shot by them.
Even before he discovered it, it had already penetrated his heart...
Deep in the soul, inseparable.
When Huaishi's final sefiranium weapons were forged, they were able to appear in his observation, causing pain as proof of this reciprocal love.
The person named Huai Shi was born because of this power.
There was no escape for him.
Even though he mustered up the courage several times to try to change, he still couldn't pull any one out... Every minute he could feel the response from the other side and the connection between them.
That's why I feel so hesitant and uneasy.
No way to decide.
"This kind of thing, even as Huai Shi, I have no choice at all, Uncle Fang."
He smiled bitterly, sighed, and popped out the coin made from his fingertips.
But before the coin hit the ground, the result was already known.
In the silence, the coins reversed and whirled in the air, reflecting the light of the setting sun.
It landed on the table in front of him.
Rotating silently, the smooth sides reflected his face, as if mocking.
Uncle Fang is right.
As Huaishi, he had actually made his choice already, but he was still unwilling to admit it.
"The world has been saved, it's just a little interest...it's not too much at all, right?"
He murmured softly, staring out the window at the vast world.
Finally made up my mind.
Just be scum and be scum. You will be infamy for thousands of years and be criticized by thousands of people. It doesn't matter even if there are floods.
From the time he set up the premise for this selfish intention, and finally created this plan to redeem everything from the calculation of heaven, he was already prepared.
Snapped.
At that moment, the spinning coin finally fell onto the table, after Huai Shi gave the answer.
But no one goes to see it anymore.
Huai Shi opened the door and walked out.
No more hesitation.
