Zhonghai City, which had been burning all night, was finally extinguished and was in ruins. The big city of Nuo seemed to be completely dead, silent.
When the sun rose, the first ray of morning light shone on Zhou Li's body. He sat in the ruins and stared quietly at the light of the sun.
The sunlight illuminated the dried blood stains on his body and also illuminated his tired brows.
In the silence, a wheelchair stopped beside him silently. In the wheelchair, Lu Huaxu looked pale and looked back at him: "Are you okay?"
"It's terrible." Zhou Li said softly.
"Me too, come with me."
Lu Huaxu used his last bit of telekinesis to push the wheelchair, and he said softly: "Someone wants to see you."
"who?"
"The person everyone wanted to find last night"
Lu Huaxu turned back and looked at him: "Qian Lizhen."
Zhou Li saw him again in a cemetery.
He seems to be born with a destiny for the cemetery and is destined to come and go frequently.
But in this city, everything seems to be out of touch. There are still broken buildings suspended in the air, as if they are in a different world.
Amidst the layers of shadow, light from nowhere illuminates this place.
In the gaps in the cemetery, several children were playing around under the care of their father, playing among the tombstones, without any idea of ??what terrible things happened in this city.
Lu Huaxu's energy was very exhausted. He turned a blind eye to those people and took Zhou Li to a secluded corner of the cemetery. Then stop moving forward: "She is waiting for you in front."
Not far away. The old woman was standing in front of several tombstones. Looking at the playing children from a distance, his eyes were calm and peaceful.
Zhou Li still doesn¡¯t understand what she is thinking. Maybe no one ever figured out what she was really thinking. Zhou Li came here just to understand the doubts in his heart.
She quietly looked at a yellowed photo on the tombstone. When she saw Zhou Li coming, she turned back to look at him: "Are you okay?"
"It's not good at all." Zhou Li shook his head: "There were many people who wanted to find you last night, and I also have many questions that I want to ask."
"Yes, I know."
Qian Lizhen waved to Zhou Li and motioned for him to accompany her for a walk.
"Zhou Li. China's ability users have been separated from outside influence for a long time."
During the walk, Qian Lizhen suddenly said that she was looking in front of her, as if she was talking about something unrelated:
¡°Since the Republic of China, China¡¯s capable people have never participated in international affairs.
Since the days of the National Salvation Youth Association, we have begun to guide them not to interfere in foreign affairs. until now. For foreign ability users, China has never had any exciting events, or other ability users are just like ordinary people. Live your own life. Relevant departments have used high walls to isolate all outside influences. "
"It's like breeding." Zhou Li said softly.
"If we breed, what will we harvest?"
Qian Lizhen turned to look at him: "Even in the most critical period. People with abilities have not faced compulsory military service, nor have they received any unfair treatment They can choose to live a normal life, even if they are Alien.
¡°What the relevant departments want to do is just to protect them. "
Zhou Li was silent for a moment and said calmly: "The relevant departments abide by your will from beginning to end."
"Yes, that's right."
Qian Lizhen did not deny it, but asked: "But isn't this bad?"
Zhou Li was stunned. After a long time, he sighed softly: "This is very good, really good. But many people will be dissatisfied."
"Yes, almost all of the new generation of ability users seem to be dissatisfied with the status quo, because after making changes, they seem to gain more but they never thought about what they would lose."
"The hundreds of thousands of people with abilities represent unimaginable interests. Do you understand, Zhou Li?"
Qian Lizhen looked back at him with old and complicated eyes: "The Foundation, the Two-Headed Eagle, and even associations in other countries all hope to influence it. Either to draw them closer to their own camp, or to cause it to collapse completely. Then they fished in troubled waters It has been like this for too long, and they have lost their patience for so long."
She paused and laughed, her laughter full of helplessness:
"Perhaps,They just can't wait for the day I die, right? I've lived too long"
Zhou Li's footsteps paused. He sighed and looked around this ruin-like city. Looking at the ruins, he couldn't help but feel a little sad: "But now, what's the difference?"
"Actually, sometimes, I also think that maybe if I died, things wouldn't be so bad."
Qian Lizhen's expression was indifferent, as if she was not talking about her own life and death: "If I die, maybe their wishes will be fulfilled. Zhong Hai can also be safe, and those capable people who live an ordinary life can also make their own achievements. choose."
"However, I do not recognize such a result."
She paused for a moment, and a firmness like cast iron appeared in her old eyes:
"I can die, and I can also fulfill the wishes of those people. But it is impossible for them to use my death to satisfy their desire for more. But once the war begins, there is no 'brake' to stop it.
Maybe some people can have the last laugh, but most capable people will become the victims and the price of the winner. The Foundation or the Two-Headed Eagle may be happy to see this happen, but I cannot allow China's ability users to be involved in a war that does not belong to them in the first place.
No war is good, Zhou Li. For those who sacrifice, nothing is more important than life. "
Zhou Li listened in silence. After a long time, when he looked back at what the entire city looked like after it collapsed, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness that he felt in his heart.
Because of the hatred of a limited number of people, the fanatical thoughts or the bright future too many people have sacrificed. This had nothing to do with them, but they were drawn into the whirlpool. Inextricable.
There are so many people giving so much. I want to protect this peace. But when the war came here, it broke the silence of peace.
The seeds of hatred have been sown.
It takes root and sprouts, and the result seems to be destined, and there is no room for maneuver.
"Your wall has been broken down."
Zhou Li said softly: "The success fell short."
"maybe."
Qian Lizhen smiled faintly.
"Sometimes I wonder, why have I persisted for so many years?"
She seemed tired, so she sat down on a bench by the roadside and rubbed her hands in the cold wind. Just like the old lady who used to be everywhere, she is dying of old age:
"I'm already very old this year. After I don't even care about my own life and death, what else in this world is worth my efforts? I no longer have the passion of youth, nor have I in the past. I'm just an ordinary person. She's just a woman, why should she clean up the mess made by those people?"
Zhou Li said: "Isn't this what a leader should think about?"
"Zhou Li, do you understand? For a woman, the so-called 'family and country affairs' are actually very far away."
Qian Lizhen looked up at the young man in front of her, her old eyes seemed to suddenly look young again. "A woman's heart is actually very small. Once she pretends to be a man, she can no longer pretend to be anything else. Let alone this country.
Things like the masses, revolution, and democracy are all very foreign to me, and I have never thought about saving any country.
¡°I am just the daughter of a small landowner. I have studied and gone to college. I want to marry a handsome and promising man, have several children, and preferably have no worries about food and clothing"
As she spoke, she suddenly laughed, looking at Zhou Li's stupid look, she smiled as happily as a little girl.
"How is it? Didn't you expect it? Qian Lizhen has actually been envious of the life of rural women."
She said it all self-deprecatingly, but her eyes were clear and full of hope: "That would be a great change. Why bother to be a tigress, a heroine living such a life?"
Zhou Li looked at him in silence. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Huaxu in the distance, and suddenly understood something.
"Is it because of Lu Huaxu's grandfather?"
he asks.
¡°It was guessed so quickly.¡±
Qian Lizhen sighed softly: "Sometimes, women are just that simple, stupid, and naive As long as you give her a promise, she will be willing to risk everything to follow you."
She stared at Lu Huaxu's tired face from a distance, lost in thought and nostalgic: "Huaxu is really very similar to his grandfather."
Zhou Li glanced at Lu Huaxu and looked away: "He is a very good person."
"I met Zhenguo?, he is almost identical to Hua Xu. I was still very young at that time, just an ordinary female college student in Shanghai. "
Qian Lizhen's expression of remembrance: "I never thought that I would fall in love with such a man. He is so different from me, and he doesn't know how to chase girls. It's nothing more than sending flowers and breakfast But then I I fell in love with him out of nowhere.
I always thought that my ability was a disease, but he told me that it was my talent, and I didn¡¯t care. I just followed him around in a daze all day long. Watching him participate in those protests, I helped make signs, and when we went to marches, I gave him leaflets. He had his hand broken by the police and I had to apply medicine to him. He wants to set up some National Salvation Youth Association, and I also need to write essays for him. To be honest, I regretted it very much, but there was still nothing I could do.
It may be that he is reluctant to let go, but he also feels that it would be sad to leave him alone. "
Qian Lizhen recalled the memories of the past, and her smile became softer, no longer old, but full of joy: "Later, we got married and gave birth to two children That period was really the best time in my life. Happy days now.
My lifelong wish was fulfilled in those two years, and I died without regrets. "
Zhou Li asked: "What happened next?"
"Later, Zhenguo died in the attack. Later, I took over the National Salvation Youth Association, and it was very hard to live alone But after so many years, this is how I got here."
Qian Lizhen indifferently ignored so many years of experience and the achievements she had made, perhaps in her opinion. The things he did were not worth mentioning.
When talking about the past. Her cloudy eyes were full of nostalgia and satisfaction. There is still a trace of confusion:
¡°Until now, I don¡¯t understand why I have been able to serve as the director for so long. I often wonder if Zhenguo and I had died together at that time, would it not have been so hard.
But he entrusted me with his wish of not being promoted, and I couldn't let him go. Otherwise, how sad it would be for him to be alone down there.
do you understand? I have accomplished one thing in my life, and so many people have died for this one thing, and they are willing to believe in me, an old woman. Give me your last wish, what excuse do I have to escape? "
She looked back at Zhou Li, her eyes seemed to contain the will of thousands of people.
That is the blood of sacrifice and the ambition that is not cold.
Zhou Li was speechless.
"I'm really sorry that you have to listen to the past of an old woman for so long."
In Zhou Li's silence, Qian Lizhen stood up slowly, holding on to the armrest of the bench, with a smile on her aging face: "I'll make you laugh."
"No."
Zhou Li shook his head, and after thinking for a long time, he said softly: "I deeply admire you."
"That's great."
Qian Lizhen turned back in the direction she came from. The footsteps scattered, and he gently touched the tombstones along the way: "Maybe it's because my grandson has grown up. Recently, I dreamed about Zhenguo again. I dreamed that he was still alive and not dead yet"
Zhou Li wanted to help her, but saw her waving her hand.
Qian Lizhen¡¯s steps staggered, but she did not fall down. She forced herself to stand. When she looked back at the tombstones of her family members, her eyes were gentle and sad:
¡°Those beautiful days really seemed like a dream.
Now that I think about it, maybe I have always been stuck in that sweet dream, right? Is it really an illusion? Who can tell clearly? "
The aura of aging on her body became stronger and stronger. This old woman quietly looked at the sleeping place where the love of her life was sleeping, looked around this small cemetery, and smiled softly.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a dream.¡±
She lowered her head with satisfaction and stroked the yellowed photo on the tombstone: "This is a dream in my life. Everything I have ever wanted in my life is in this dream. Now that I am about to wake up from the dream, I really can't bear to part with it."
The dream is about to wake up.
At that moment, Zhou Li saw the light of Bu Ying.
Between heaven and earth, everything becomes blurred, becoming illusory and ethereal.
There were transparent ripples spreading from Qian Lizhen¡¯s feet to all directionsEverywhere she passed, everything became completely different.
It was like the curtain of disguise was lifted in an instant, and everything returned to its original appearance.
The condensed clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sun shone brightly under the blue sky.
Those ruins, broken walls, and ruins all disappeared without a trace, turning into the original high-rise buildings and smooth streets. The buildings that were damaged and destroyed by the war have returned to their most beautiful appearance.
Cars began to move forward again on the street, and the blood of the deceased disappeared without a trace in the wind.
A dense crowd of pedestrians walked out of the void. They were in neat suits, with hurried looks on their faces, and hurried past the street with their briefcases. Girls in velvet hats wear short skirts in the cold world of early spring, holding milk tea in their hands, waiting for their partners on the street.
The men rubbing their eyes went downstairs in pajamas and cotton slippers, and bought pancakes and wontons from the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community. The middle-aged man walking his dog whistled and crossed the road, earning a burst of curses from the traffic police.
The wild cats on the wall screamed, jumped down, got into the trash can, and began to rummage for food for the new day.
A new day begins, and the city rises from the ruins.
Perhaps, it never died.
Like a dream or an illusion, like dew or electricity For a moment, Zhou Li felt that everything in the world had become an illusion, but the next moment, he found the real sense of his own existence again.
Life and death have been reversed, and the distance between truth and falsehood has never been closer, almost merging together This may have been the strongest power in China.
For decades, her power has penetrated every part of the city, like a dream. It was like a real subspace covering the city.
Maybe this city has been sleeping in a dream, maybe the dream has only come now.
Maybe everything in last night just happened in a huge dream?
No one knows what happened.
This huge power may have existed in this city for many years, like a barrier, and may even have drawn the power of the chaos in the subspace
But no matter what the principle is. Reality has been changed like a dream.
This kind of power is almost revolutionizing the world and changing the world. From the hands of an old woman. This made Zhou Li almost unbelievable. perhaps. No one has ever known the nature of her ability This kind of power to change reality is inherently not allowed to remain in this world.
Is this the strongest China that has ever been able to challenge the seven demigod apostles?
No, if she wanted to, it would still be the case, right?
Even if she ignores all the achievements she has built throughout her life, this woman is after all the former emperor, the supreme being who reigns at the pinnacle of all abilities.
With just a moment of change, everything that was destroyed was reshaped, and everything that was lost was recovered. Everything that went off the rails returned to its place.
The error has been changed.
This peaceful city once again ushered in a new life.
Is this reality or a fantasy?
Zhou Li, who witnessed all this, felt confused.
But Qian Lizhen is getting older and older. Her body is like a reflection in the water, ethereal and about to disappear, but there is a satisfied and relieved smile on her face.
"Zhenguo, my mission is finally coming to an end."
She stroked her husband¡¯s tombstone and looked at his yellowed photo with nostalgia.
Zhou Li looked at her blankly. His expression changed suddenly, and he wanted to reach out to hold her. But I couldn't touch it.
Like a phantom of another world, untouchable.
"It's useless, Zhou Li."
Qian Lizhen smiled: "It's time to wake up from my dream."
She smiled with relief, looking at the children playing among the tombstones and the man taking care of them from a distance, with a satisfied expression: "It's time to wake up from this beautiful dream.
The world is changing so fast, I can no longer find my direction. Perhaps the next road will be left to you young people to navigate. "
"I've already told Hua Xu, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Qian Lizhen looked at Zhou Li and bowed slightly: "Don't let Hua Xu carry the burden alone. He is already too tired."
Looking at her expectant eyes, Zhou Li felt ashamed for a while. He opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless. After a long time, he lowered his head and said softly: "I will help him."
¡°That¡¯s really great.¡±
Qian Lizhen smiled, turned her head and walked towards her past.
"Mom, hurry up! It's too slow, Mom!"
In the distance, the two playful children shouted loudly and waved to her. The child was picked up by the middle-aged man, giggling and dancing with his beard.
The man held the children in his arms and called his returning wife:
"Lizhen, let's go."
"I'll come right away."
Qian Lizhen nodded. She wiped her tears, smiled, and ran staggeringly. It was as if the years were washed away from her body like dust. She was no longer old and returned to the past, young and beautiful.
"Everyone, wait for me"
She staggered after him, stretched out her hand hard, and held her husband's hand tightly.
They held their children in their arms, looked at each other and smiled, and happily walked into the eternal dream.
A lifetime, a dream.
When Zhou Li walked out of the cemetery, he saw Lu Huaxu, who had been waiting for a long time.
This young man is no longer as sickly as he used to be. His breathing is steady and his face is no longer pale. When he stood at the door, his back was straight and upright, truly living like a young man and having good health.
But his head was lowered and his back was turned to the cemetery, as if he didn't dare to look.
Hearing Zhou Li's footsteps, he turned his face slightly and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, is she gone?"
Zhou Li was silent for a long time and said softly: "She passed away peacefully."
"That's good."
Lu Huaxu said softly: "That's great"
He lowered his head, not letting others see his face. He just raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and blinked hard.
A black car drove slowly and stopped in the distance.
The car door opened, and a group of ability users in suits spread out to isolate the surroundings. Zhou Li saw some familiar faces among them. Those people were waiting quietly for the return of their director.
But among them there is no longer that middle-aged man with a mean smile and vicissitudes of life.
?Perhaps, he really chose to die to awaken his students?
Zhou Li's expression darkened.
"I'm sorry. I made you laugh."
Lu Huaxu's mood quickly calmed down. Maybe it's to keep calm. He forced a smile. He patted Zhou Li on the shoulder and said, "Thank you. Without your help, I would have had a headache for a long time."
Zhou Li looked at his sincere expression and felt a little guilty in his heart:
"Just take what you need."
"Then you have to be busy. Uncle Yun has left a lot of work to solve."
Lu Huaxu smiled and took the lead to walk in front. After walking a few steps, he turned to look at Zhou Li who was still there: "Don't be stunned there. We still have a lot of things to deal with, my deputy director. "
Zhou Li turned around and looked at the cemetery behind him.
There is no trace of Qian Lizhen¡¯s existence, but it seems that she can feel her soft gaze. Even in her dream, she stared at the world so tenderly.
"Is this your arrangement?"
Zhou Li murmured softly: "It's such a heavy burden for people to get what they want."
A week later, in Shangyang, Times Cafe.
In the quiet afternoon, a man in a suit opened the door.
This is a young man with a serious expression. He was holding a black briefcase in his hand, and the little finger of his right hand was missing. Doesn't look like a good person.
"Excuse me, is the boss here?"
He stood in front of the bar and asked softly: "I have something I hope to pass on to her."
Soon, under the guidance of the waiter, he found the young woman on the table near the window. She had long hair and was tutoring a little girl in her homework. Her expression was gentle and serious, with a lazy smile. .
When I saw the expression of the visitor, I was stunned for a moment, and soon, worry appeared in my eyes.
"Hello, I am Li Zijin."
She stood up, shook hands with the visitor, and asked him to sit down: "I'm just in charge here. If you ask the boss, you may have to wait a few days. He will be back soon."
She ordered a cup of coffee for the young man, but he waved his hand to indicate no need.
"My name is Luo Bai."
The man in the suit was silent for a moment, hesitating. After a long time, he sighed and said softly: "I'm sorry, Ms. Li Zijin, I have brought you unfortunate news."
"A few days ago, Mr. Zhou Li passed away in an accident."
He took out a 'death notice' and some scattered items from the black briefcase, and placed them in front of her: "These are some of his relics and savings. I hope you can accept them."
There was a moment of silence, and Li Zijin was stunned.
She looked at Luo Bai blanklyLuo Bai's face was sad and his eyes were lowered.
"Whatwhat did you say?" Her face turned pale.
Luo Bai lowered his head: "Mr. Zhou Li has passed away. Please express your condolences and accept this change."
"He obviously"
Li Zijin looked at him blankly: "He obviously said he would come back! What are you talking about?!"
Luo Bai remained silent.
For a long time, in the long silence, Li Zijin's shoulders trembled. She lowered her head, curled up in the corner of the sofa, covered her face with her hands, and let out an uncontrollable cry.
It¡¯s like a child who has lost everything.
¡°I have already done what you asked me to do for you, and I have also said hello to the local ability users and officials.¡±
On the phone, Luo Bai's voice was complicated: "She cried very sadly. It can be seen that she really likes you. It's the little girl After hearing that you were dead, she beat me like crazy. , looked at me as if I were an enemy, and said that I would avenge you.
Is this really good? Although the news of your death has been announced, there is no need to tell them that you are really dead, right? "
"Thisis the best for them."
Zhou Li lowered his head: "Let the whole world think that I am dead. I already owe them enough, and I can't hurt them anymore."
"You don't want to implicate them, so you should say this to them yourself."
Luo Bai on the phone was full of anger: "Don't do such shameful things to me in the future, okay? I'm prone to heart disease."
¡°Don¡¯t worry, one day I will find someone to change your heart.¡±
Zhou Li replied calmly and hung up the phone.
In the quiet office, he closed his eyes tiredly. Seems to have fallen asleep.
The afternoon sun shone on him. Dust danced in the air.
In front of the window. Under the pile of comic books, the ignorant girl knelt on the carpet, holding her chin in her hands, looking at him sleeping, focused and lost. At her feet, a large pile of white paper for practicing writing was covered with childish graffiti.
The eight-legged iron horse was forgotten in the pile of comic books, as if asleep, with only the indicator lights representing the eyes flashing blue.
Punan Airport.
Taut stands in front of his private jet. He turned around and took his suitcase from the personnel of the relevant departments.
"Okay, just stop here. Go back and tell your deputy director that no matter how diligent he is, he still has to pay back the money he owes me."
He waved his hand, a little impatiently. After thinking for a moment, he turned back and said, "Go back and tell him that I have already done the surgery at Fu Xiu's place. It was just a single operation. There is no way to cure the root cause anyway. Treating the symptoms is enough."
As for the next step let him take care of himself and don't act like some old bastard. "
Finished. He turned around, boarded the plane, and never looked back.
When the plane flew out of the runway and rushed into the sky, he sighed tiredly and looked to his side.
"Zhou Jianan, what you want has been achieved, right?"
Opposite him, the old man who appeared like a phantom seemed to be deep in thought, staring at the city at his feet.
Taut looked at him coldly and asked in a low voice: "Will you really let him go? Constantine, will you keep your promise?"
"What you don't understand, Taut, is that he will be a peerless blade."
Zhou Jianan slowly shook his head: "I will keep my promise and never look for him again, but fate will eventually drive him to come to me."
"Stop talking about nonsense about fate." Taote glared at him: "What on earth did you arrange?"
"Nothing at all."
Zhou Jianan shook his head: "You know, I never lie. It's just that the final steps that he lacked are about to be completed. I just feel relieved.
It¡¯s like you¡¯re treating your own masterpiece. I thought you would understand me. "
"never."
Taut looked at him coldly: "He is a living person, Constantine, he is not a dead thing.
He has hands and feet, and he loves and hates him. Compared with his father, the only thing he lacks is a hopeless lunacy, but there is nothing wrong with this lack. "
"Is it?"
Zhou Jianan just said lightly: "You know? Taote, you are a rich and lucky man. Money solves most of your problems for you, so you have never been able to understand the feelings in other people's hearts.
You like to use your tricks on others, but you have never been able to understand what real 'suffering' is. So, let me tell you. "
Zhou Jianan looked into his eyes and said softly: "When a person has nothing and his heart is indifferent, he cannot appreciate the pain of loss and does not understand the world.
But the closer he gets to this world, the more he will gain. The world is not generous. In order to keep what he has gained, he has to fight with the world. But his expectations run counter to the trajectory of the world.
So, one day he will lose everything and return to nothing. "
Zhou Jiannan paused and looked at the city at his feet: "He has given up on unrealistic love now, hasn't he?"
Taote¡¯s face was ashen and he was silent.
"This is the final step, Taote." He said lightly: "When he finally understands the nature of this world, he will be reborn and become"
¡°Become what you want.¡±
Taut interrupted him: "Become a cold, cruel god."
Zhou Jianan remained silent, ignoring the wine glass that Taote smashed at him angrily.
"I hate you, Zhou Jianan, and may the devil curse you."
Taote looked at Zhou Jianan's indifferent face and suddenly felt a little weak. He waved his hand: "That's it, I don't want to see you again."
"Then goodbye, old friend"
Zhou Jianan didn't care, just patted his shoulder and disappeared into the void. At the last moment, he looked back at Taote with complicated eyes.
The cabin fell into silence again, with only Tao Te drinking wine one cup after another with a gloomy expression. Until the phone on the desk rang.
He looked down at the number. Disregarding the rules of aircraft navigation. Connect on your own. Irritated tone:
"Okay, old friend. I've heard enough bad news today. Do you have any more bad news for me?"
The man on the other end of the phone had a complicated tone: "Mr. Taote, your test results are out."
Taote was stunned and put down his wine glass.
After a moment of silence, he lit a cigarette for himself and took two puffs of it bitterly: "Let's be honest. I've been playing for almost a lifetime, what else can't I bear?"
"It's lung cancer. Late stage."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the long silence, Taote smoked the cigarette one by one. Only when the cigarette was burned out did he reveal a bitter smile: "So that's how it is"
"I'm sorry to inform you of this sad news."
"Stop talking about so much useless stuff."
Taut asked hoarsely: "How long do I have?"
"If you strictly follow our treatment course, you should be able to survive for two to three years. But if you have your own transformation technology, you can actually"
"It's okay."
Taut interrupted him.
The old man scratched his gray hair, looking troubled and sad: "I have seen too many monsters in my life. Just let me die as a normal human being."
"Then it's as you wish." The man on the phone said: "Do you have any requirements for the treatment process?"
"do not have much left."
Taote was smoking a cigarette and looking at the smoke spreading in front of him. Look at them swirling and rising. And dispersed without a trace.
"I just thought, if I find a pastor before I die, God will definitely leave a place for me in His kingdom, right? He loves cold jokes so much, why don't I get left out?"
No one answered.
After dozens or hundreds of years, this day will also be a day worthy of human beings to remember.
On this day, many things happened that had a huge and far-reaching impact on the world.
On this day, all ability users in the world received news of the death of the former director of the relevant department and the former emperor.
On this day, the new leader of China¡¯s 170,000 capable people stepped onto the stage.
On this day, the mysterious deputy director of the relevant department and the full head of the operations department appeared in front of everyone for the first time, and then issued his first order after taking office.
"From now on, in the name of the head of the operations department, I announce that the Ancient Mirror Project is cancelled, and all ability users will gather. The operations department will expand its establishment and recruit a standing armed force of more than 3,000 people."
In the order, the scope of recruitment even includes prisoners in black jails and wanted criminals.
existAfter the first order caused an uproar, the man with green-gold eyes looked down at the blank expressions of those people, his voice was low and majestic.
"Now, I issue a declaration in the name of the relevant departments: From today on, we launch a war against the two-headed eagle and Odin."
His voice was soft but cold and resounding: "Blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Until the last of us dies.
Unless justice is shown and the blood we shed is repaid.
Otherwise, we will never give up! "
At that moment, everyone fell into a terrible silence and a long period of sluggishness.
Immediately afterwards, countless radio waves and signals were quickly sent to all parts of the world, detonating public opinion bombs among ability users. All the reporters rushed to the podium like crazy and pointed their cameras at the cold and stern young man.
In the camera, the young man just finished speaking and then threw the speech under the podium, letting the crowd grab it.
At the last moment, he cast an indifferent glance towards the camera.
The eyes that seemed to reflect blood and fire were engraved in everyone's hearts.
On that day, whether it was Planchenko far away in St. Petersburg, Odin sinking like water in front of the screen, or the 'Eye of Horus' opening a thread in the endless ocean of data, they all had to admit it.
A brand new force appears in the world of ability users, and the turbulent current situation will usher in new changes.
No matter what the outcome is, a new era is coming.
But there can always only be one true winner.
Far away, the wind is blowing.
At the end of the ocean, in the world of ice and snow, countless penguins are still unaware of the changes in the world. They sway their bodies, plunge into the water, and start looking for fish.
A pair of white hands picked up a jumping penguin, no matter how it struggled, they just scratched its chin with interest until it made a meek sound of surrender.
As if hearing an announcement from afar, she raised her head and looked at the end of the sky and sea.
I don¡¯t know if it was an illusion, but a smile danced on her cheek, pure and clear, like ice frozen for thousands of years.
"Hurry up and catch up, idiot." She held up the penguin and whispered happily: "It would be too lonely if I was the only one watching those scenery."
The snowy wind flew through the sky, seeming to make a corresponding sound.
