Chen Xing and Ivan ignored the fanaticism of the LTTE and the paranoia of the "free birds", they were a group of crazy people, for the so-called Tamil independence, for the so-called jihadist organization, they could even pay with their lives, what is the pain, and the information about the "suicide bombing" provided by Luo Jingye once again surfaced in his mind: they killed the former Prime Minister of India Rajiv with a human bullet. Gandhi because Prime Minister Gandhi ordered Indian special forces to be sent to Sri Lanka in 1987 to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the LTTE. They also attacked Sri Lankan President Mrs. Kumara Tunga in the same way, and fortunately Mrs. Kumara Tunga survived, but she lost her right eye forever.

"Is there really any demon or monster in the world that can blind the conscience of human beings, and in the face of unarmed kinds, they can also wield a butcher's knife and use blood to pay tribute to paranoid beliefs?" At this moment, Chen Xing thought sadly.

Ivan asked Chen Xing to go back to the room on the sixth floor first, and he would deal with the aftermath.

Chen Xing returned to the sixth floor with a heavy heart, leaving a crack in the door for Ivan, and he himself sat on the sofa tiredly, in just two days, after experiencing so many bloody killings, watching so many souls leave the world, how do you let this young man, how to adjust, how to face it!

Chen Xing was no longer in the mood to use the eye of heaven to perceive how Ivan disposed of the corpse, how to eliminate the traces of the two on the third floor, and how to deal with the two bundles of explosives that would cause endless trouble. "Just leave it to this all-powerful special forces fighter to deal with, he is Russia's Rambo, my Rambo brother!" Chen Xing thought mockingly.

On December 1, 1995, at 6:30 a.m., Chen Xing and Ivan washed up briefly and sat on the sofa in the living room to talk about some chores. At 6:50, Manager Wu and Luo Jingye also got up, cleaned up, and the four of them simply ate some sandwiches and fried eggs made by Luo Jingye, and drank some milk. At 7:30 a.m., I was about to leave for the National Hospital, when a violent explosion was heard at the edge of the city, and although it felt far away, it could still be heard clearly in the room.

What is wrong with this country, is it God and the Buddha who have abandoned his followers?

When the four of them passed through layers of examination and entered the national hospital, they learned from the police on duty that the crematorium in the suburbs had exploded, and it was probably the Tamil Tigers who wanted to paralyze Colombo and make it impossible to deal with the bodies of the victims, causing greater panic among the citizens. If it weren't for Chen Xing and Ivan to remove the explosion hazard of the national hospital, I don't know what kind of panic Colombo would fall into.

What should I do? Engineer Lin's body must be cremated as soon as possible, and it can't be delayed any longer, otherwise I don't know how long it will be delayed, everyone doesn't have this time to waste here, and Manager Wu must personally deal with this matter. Engineer Lin died in the same room with him, and if he didn't solve this matter personally, he would have a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life.

Luo Jingye immediately contacted his friends at the local city hall and learned that the nearest crematorium was in the ancient city of Anuradapura, 200 kilometers northeast of Colombo, and that it would take about three hours to drive there due to poor road conditions. But this is also the fastest place to be cremated, entrusted a friend to say hello to the crematorium of the ancient city of Anuradapura, they borrowed a pickup truck from another friend, ready to pull out the body of Engineer Lin in the afternoon, and rushed to the ancient city of Anuradapura.

They first returned to the dock together, took a speedboat back to the Aristotle, and reported to the fisherman what had happened from the previous night to this morning. Then Manager Wu insisted on going to the ancient city of Anuradapura to personally accompany Engineer Lin's body to be cremated, and finally decided to ask Chen Xing and Ivan to accompany him, anyway, there was nothing important on the ship in the past two days, and there was no urgent matter that Chen Xing needed to translate.

During this period, Vasily found Chen Xing alone and told him about the possible arrest of the ship by the international tribunal. It seems that Vasily still believes in Chen Xing, and may also see his abnormality, so he wants to do something with him, if the result of the arrest of the ship comes so early. Chen Xing promised Vasily that he would consider it carefully and would definitely give him a comprehensive plan, so that the Russian captain would be a little relieved, after all, every middle-aged man is facing the pressure of life, and which man who is away from home and faces risks at sea does not have a family to feed and take care of? Chen Xing understands Vasily's mood very well.

At 1 p.m., the supplies ordered by Luo Jingye in Colombo for the next few days were delivered, including: vegetables, fruits, beef and mutton, flour, rice, spices, beer, and some drinks and daily necessities. After handing over with the delivery personnel, Luo Jingye left the Aristotle with Manager Wu, Chen Xing and Ivan.

Luo Jingye drove the pickup truck, pulled everyone to the national hospital, went through the relevant procedures, and bought a simple coffin from the hospital to pull the corpse, and loaded the body of Engineer Lin onto the pickup truck. The dozens of corpses that could not be disposed of for the time being, just covered with transparent plastic sheeting, were bloodily piled up in the morgue, exuding a strong smell of blood, stimulating everyone who came in, as if reminding these people who were still alive that they were wronged and unfair here, but there was no way, there were only a dozen freezers in the morgue, which could not store the last concerns of so many innocent souls in the world.

At the Colombo City Government Office, Luo Jingye took some necessary documents from the relevant departments, and then took everyone to the suburbs, along the West Coast Highway, all the way north, to the ancient city of Anuradapura.

From Colombo in the Western Province, directly through the North West Province, it took two hours to reach the territory of the Northern Central Province by the dilapidated coastal road, and another hour to the east, finally to the historic ancient city of Anuradapura in Sri Lanka.

Anuradhapura, the earliest capital of Sri Lanka, has been thriving for 1,500 years and lonely and barren for a thousand years. In the 19th century, after the British discovered this ancient capital hidden by barren grass and listed it as a World Heritage Site, the monuments were restored one by one. In one or two hundred years, many Buddhist believers gathered around the ancient city, and after a long time, a city was formed, but because this ancient city is too famous in Sri Lanka, the newly formed city is still called the ancient city of Anuradhapura.

In this ancient city, there are a large number of temples and stupas built by successive kings, as well as royal palaces and playgrounds, the most famous of which is the "Holy Bodhi Tree", which is listed as one of the "Two Treasures" of Sri Lanka along with the "Buddha's tooth". This 2,600-year-old sacred tree has witnessed the success or failure of the ancient city for more than 2,000 years. It has been unable to restore the bustling city of the past, but it has become a holy city because of the "Holy Bodhi Tree". The "Holy Bodhi Tree" is not only a national treasure of Sri Lankans, but also the glass in the hearts of all Buddhists.

Every year in August, nearly a million believers flock into the city from all directions to worship, at the same time, a million white lotus flowers float in all corners of the temple, red, orange and yellow robes sway in the world of dreams, believers kneel barefoot and worship the fiery scene is absolutely beyond your imagination, the power of faith in this play, in South Asia, presents, is you can never describe the shock.

Listening to Luo Jingye's brief introduction to the ancient city of Anuradapura, Chen Xing's heart seemed to be touched, it was a feeling that he had never experienced before, like a white horse passing through a gap, flashing by, and then thinking about it, but he had no clue.

Drive along the road under the lush vegetation of this ancient city, admiring the temples and stupas that can be seen everywhere, and everyone is full of solemnity and reverence for the Buddha, except Ivan. Luo Jingye, Manager Wu and Chen Xing are all Chinese, nearly two thousand years, the influence of Buddhism in China is too huge, almost every Chinese family will have more or less traces of Buddhism, the fifteenth day of the first month, the ordinary people who burn incense and worship the Buddha are very large, all over the more than 9 million square kilometers of large and small temples, incense is also flourishing. In the early nineties, people's beliefs were no longer suppressed, and in China, it was a time of rejuvenation for religion, especially Buddhism.

Luo Jingye finally parked the pickup truck at the Dreadnought Mountain Temple in the north of the ancient city of Anuradapura, the crematorium is not far from here, a 10-minute drive away, and the purpose of building here is to facilitate the monks in the ancient temple to give the dead a time.

Since it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon, in order to facilitate the cremation early tomorrow morning, I was going to spend the night in this famous ancient temple tonight.

The dilapidated and old giant tower behind the ancient temple, under the cover of the weedy jungle, is quaint, as if an old man is almost old, telling a long story to the guests.

Inexplicably, Chen Xing felt a kind and warm aura that attracted him, which was the resonance from the blood, which was incomparably wonderful and indescribable!
