The long night finally passed.

Zhonghai City, which had been burning all night, was finally extinguished, and it was in ruins. The big city, however, seems to have died completely, silently.

When the sun rose, the first rays of morning light shone on Zhou Li's body. He sat in the ruins, quietly gazing 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 silently beside him. In the wheelchair, Lu Huaxu's face was pale, and he looked back at him: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's terrible." Zhou Li said softly.

"Me too, come with me."

Lu Huaxu pushed the wheelchair with the last bit of mental power, and he whispered, "Someone wants to see you." ”

"Who?"

&nbs(.; "The person everyone was looking for last night......"

Lu Huaxu looked back at him: "Qian Lizhen." ”——

The next time Zhou Li saw him, it was in a cemetery.

He seems to have been born with a relationship with the cemetery, and is destined to come and go often.

But in this city, everything seems to be disjointed, and there are still broken buildings suspended in the air, as if in another world.

In the layers of shadows, light from nowhere illuminated the place.

In the gap in the cemetery, a few children played around under their father's watchful eye and frolicked among the tombstones, unaware of what terrible things had happened in the city.

Lu Huaxu's energy was already exhausted, and he turned a blind eye to those people and took Zhou Li to a secluded corner of the cemetery. And he stopped moving forward: "She is waiting for you in front."

Not far away. The old woman stood in front of several tombstones. Looking at those frolicking children from afar, his eyes were indifferent and comfortable.

Zhou Li still doesn't understand what she is thinking in her heart. Perhaps no one ever figured out what she really thought. Zhou Li came here, just to figure out the doubts in his heart.

She quietly looked at a yellowed photo on the tombstone, and when she saw Zhou Li coming, she looked back at him: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's not good at all." Zhou Li shook his head: "There were a lot of people who wanted to look for you last night, and I also had a lot of questions to ask." ”

"Yes, I know."

Qian Lizhen beckoned to Zhou Li and motioned for him to accompany her.

"Zhou Li. China's capable people have been detached from outside influence for a long time. ”

During the walk, Qian Lizhen suddenly said that she looked ahead, as if she was saying something unrelated:

"Since the Republic of China era, China's capable people have not participated in international affairs.

From the time of the National Salvation YMCA, we began to guide them to stop meddling in foreign affairs. Until now. For those who are capable abroad, China has never had any exciting events or other ...... The capable people are like ordinary people. Live your own life. The authorities used high walls to isolate all outside influences. ”

"It's like farming." Zhou Li said softly.

"If we breed, what do we harvest?"

Qian Lizhen turned her head to look at him: "Even in the most critical period." Nor have they faced compulsory military service or received any unfair treatment...... They can choose to live a normal life, even if they are aliens.

All the authorities want to do is protect them. ”

Zhou Li was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "What the relevant departments abide by from beginning to end is your will. ”

"Yes, that's right."

Qian Lizhen didn't deny it, but just asked: "But isn't this bad?" ”

Zhou Li was stunned, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "That's ...... Very good, really good. But many people will not be satisfied. ”

"Yes, the new generation of capable people, almost all of them seem to be dissatisfied with the status quo, because after making changes, they seem to gain more...... But they never thought they would lose anything. ”

"What hundreds of thousands of capable people represent are unimaginable interests, do you understand, Zhou Li."

Qian Lizhen looked back at him, her eyes old and complicated: "The Foundation, the Two-Headed Vulture, and even the associations of other countries all want to be able to exert influence on it. Either draw it closer to its own camp, or let it collapse completely, and fish in troubled waters...... It's been like this for so long, so long that they've lost patience. ”

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 stopped, he sighed and looked around at this ruined city, looking at the ruins, his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy: "But what is the difference between the way it is now?" ”

"Actually, sometimes, I also think that maybe if I died, things wouldn't have gotten so bad."

Qian Lizhen's expression was indifferent, as if she was not talking about her life or death: "If I die, maybe their wishes will be fulfilled." Zhonghai can also be safe and sound, and those who have the ability to live an ordinary life can also make their own choices. ”

"However, I don't admit such a result."

She paused, and a determination as iron appeared in her old eyes:

"I can die, and I can fulfill the wishes of those people. But their ** could not be satisfied with my death - they wanted more - but as soon as the war began, there was no 'brake' to stop.

Maybe some people will be able to have the last laugh, but most of the capable people will become the victims and the price of the winners. The Foundation may be happy to see it happen, but I can't let China's capable people be drawn into a war that doesn't belong to them.

No war is good, Zhou Li. Nothing is more important to the sacrificed than life. ”

Zhou Li listened silently, and after a long time, looking back at the appearance of the entire city after the collapse, there was a sudden sadness in his heart.

Because of the hatred of a limited number of people, because of fanatical thoughts or a better tomorrow...... Too many people have already been sacrificed. This has nothing to do with them, but they are being pulled closer into the whirlpool. Can't help yourself.

There are so many people who give so much. I want to protect this piece of peace. But the war has broken the silence of peace.

The seeds of hatred have been planted.

It takes root, and the result seems to be doomed, and there is no place to turn around.

"Your walls have been broken."

Zhou Li said softly: "It's a failure. ”

"Perhaps."

Qian Lizhen smiled faintly-

"Sometimes I wonder, what am I doing all this for so long?"

As if she was tired, she sat down on a bench by the side of the road and rubbed her hands together in the cold wind. It's like an old lady who used to be everywhere, and she is about to die:

"I'm very old this year, and after I don't even care about my own life and death, what else in this world is worth my effort? I don't have the enthusiasm of youth anymore, and I haven't had it in the past. I'm just an ordinary woman, why should I clean up the mess that those people have made. ”

Zhou Li said: "This is not something that a leader should think, right? ”

"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, and her old eyes seemed to suddenly become young again. "A woman's heart is actually very small. After installing a man, the others can no longer be installed. Not to mention the country.

The masses, revolution, democracy, and so on were all very foreign to me, and I never thought about saving any country.

I'm just the daughter of a small landowner's family, I went to school, I went to college, I want to marry a handsome man, have a few children, and preferably be able to eat and wear ......"

As she spoke, she suddenly laughed, looking at Zhou Li's stunned appearance, smiling happily like a little girl.

"How? Didn't expect that, right? Qian Lizhen has actually been envious of the lives of rural women. ”

She said self-deprecatingly, but her eyes were clear and full of hope: "How good it is to change like that, why do you want to be a tigress, heroine...... Live such a life? ”

Zhou Li looked at him silently, and after a long time, he suddenly looked up at Lu Huaxu in the distance, and suddenly understood.

"Is it because of Lu Huaxu's grandfather?"

He asked-

"It was guessed so quickly."

Qian Lizhen sighed softly: "Sometimes, women are so simple, stupid, and naïve...... As long as you give her a promise, she will be willing to gamble everything with you. ”

She stared at Lu Huaxu's tired face from a distance, and was distracted and missed: "Hua Xu is really ...... Much like his grandfather. ”

Zhou Li glanced at Lu Huaxu and retracted his gaze: "He is a very good person." ”

"When I met Zhenguo, he and Hua Xu were almost identical. At that time, I was still very young, just an ordinary female college student in Shanghai. ”

Qian Lizhen's expression remembered: "I never thought that I would fall in love with such a man, he is so different from me, and he will not chase girls." It's nothing more than sending flowers and breakfast...... But then I fell in love with him somehow.

I always thought that my ability was a disease, but he told me that it was my talent, and I didn't care, and I ran around with him all day long. Watching him participate in those protests, I helped make slogans, and when I went to the march, I handed him leaflets. He was interrupted by the police, and I had to put medicine on him. He's going to get some kind of National Salvation YMCA, and I'm going to write him paperwork. To be honest, I regret it very much, but I still can't help it.

Maybe he was reluctant, but he felt that it would be sad to leave him alone. ”

Qian Lizhen recalled the memories of the past, her smile became soft, no longer old, and full of joy: "Later, we got married and gave birth to two children...... It was really the happiest day of my life.

My life's wish was fulfilled in those two years, and I died without regrets. “

Zhou Li asked, "What happened later?" ”

Later, Jin-kook died in the attack. Later, I took over the National Salvation YMCA, and I had a hard time pulling and pulling alone...... But after so many years, that's it. ”

Qian Lizhen lightly ignored the experience of so many years, and also skipped the careers she had achieved, perhaps in her opinion. The things I did were not worth mentioning.

When it comes to the past. Her cloudy eyes were filled with nostalgia and satisfaction. There is also a hint of confusion:

"Until now, I don't understand why I've been the director for so long. I often wonder if if I died together with Jin-kook at that time, wouldn't it be so hard.

But he gave me his unfulfilled wishes, and I couldn't let them go. Otherwise, how sad it would be for him to be down there alone.

Do you understand? I've done this thing all my life, so many people have died for this thing, and they want to believe me as an old woman. Give me my last wish, and what excuse do I have to escape? ”

She looked back at Zhou Li, and there seemed to be the will of thousands of people in her eyes.

It was the blood of sacrifice, the unchilled ambition.

Zhou Li was speechless-

"I'm sorry to have you listen to an old woman's past for so long."

In Zhou Li's silence, Qian Lizhen held on to the armrest of the bench and slowly stood up, with a smile on her aging face: "Let you see a smile." ”

"Nope."

Zhou Li shook his head, and after thinking for a long time, he said softly, "I deeply admire. ”

"That's great."

Qian Lizhen turned back in the direction she came. His footsteps were scattered, and he gently stroked the tombstones along the way: "Maybe it's because my grandson has grown up." Recently, I dreamed of Zhenguo again. Dream that he is still alive and not dead yet......"

Zhou Li wanted to help her, but saw her waving her hand.

Qian Lizhen's footsteps staggered, but she did not fall, she stood with her body bracketed, and when she looked back at the tombstones of those family members, her eyes were gentle and sad:

"Those good days were like a dream.

Now that I think about it, maybe I've been stuck in that dream all along, right? If it's really illusory, who can say clearly? ”

The smell of aging in her body became stronger and stronger, and the old woman quietly looked at the sleeping place she had loved all her life, looked around at this small cemetery, and laughed softly.

"It doesn't matter if it's a dream."

She lowered her head contentedly and stroked the yellowed photo on the tombstone: "A dream in my life, everything I have asked for in my life is in this dream." Now that the dream is about to wake up, I am really reluctant. ”

The dream is waking up.

At that moment, Zhou Li saw the light of the bubble.

Between heaven and earth, everything became blurred, illusory and ethereal.

Transparent ripples spread out from under Qian Lizhen's feet, in all directions...... Everywhere you go, everything becomes completely different.

It was as if the curtain of camouflage had been lifted in an instant, and everything was restored to its original appearance.

The condensed clouds in the sky dissipated, and under the blue sky, the sun shone brightly.

The ruins and ruins have disappeared without a trace, turning into the original high-rise buildings and leveling the streets. The war-torn and devastated buildings have returned to their most beautiful form.

Cars began to move back on the streets, and the blood of the dead dissipated in the wind.

A dense crowd of pedestrians came out of the void, their suits and looks, hurrying through the streets with briefcases. Girls in velvet hats are waiting for their partners on the street in short skirts and milk tea in the cold world of early spring.

The men rubbing their eyes went downstairs in their pajamas, and they also stepped on cotton slippers to buy pancakes and ravioli at the breakfast stall at the entrance of the community. The middle-aged man walking his dog whistled and crossed the road, causing a burst of scolding from the traffic police.

The wild cats on the wall screamed, jumped down, got into the garbage cans, and began rummaging through the food for the new day.

A new day begins, and the city rises from the ashes.

Perhaps, it never died.

Like a dream is like an illusion, like dew or like electricity...... For a moment, Zhou Li felt that everything in this world had become illusory, but in the next moment, he had rediscovered the reality of his own existence.

Life and death have been reversed, and the distance between truth and falsehood has never been closer, almost merging together...... This may have been China's strongest power in the past.

For decades, her power permeated every part of the city, like a dream. It's like a real subspace, covering the city.

Perhaps the city has been sleeping in a dream, or perhaps the dream has only now arrived.

Maybe everything in last night just happened in a huge dream, right?

No one knows what this is all about.

This massive power may have existed in the city for years, like an enchantment, and may even have drawn the power of the Chaos Stream in the subspace......

But whatever the principle. Reality was changed like a dream.

This is a force that almost revolutionizes the world and changes the world. From the hands of an old woman. This made Zhou Li almost unbelievable. Maybe. No one has ever known what the essence of her abilities is...... This reality-changing power is inherently inherently inaccessible to remain in this world.

Is this the strongest in China that has ever been able to challenge the seven demigod apostles?

No, if she wanted to, she still would, right?

Even if she neglected all the achievements she had built up in her life, this woman was after all the former emperor, the supreme person who reigned at the peak of all abilities.

It is only a momentary change, everything that is destroyed is reshaped, everything that is gone is recovered. Everything that went off the rails went back to its place.

The error was changed.

Once again, this peaceful city has been given a new lease of life.

Is this real or dreamy?

Zhou Li, who witnessed all this, only felt confused.

But Qian Lizhen is getting older and older, her body is like a reflection in the water, ethereal, about to dissipate, but her face is full of satisfaction and relief.

"Zhenguo, my mission is finally coming to an end."

She stroked her husband's tombstone and looked nostalgically at his yellowed photograph.

Zhou Li looked at her in a daze. His complexion changed suddenly, and he wanted to reach out and grab her. But I couldn't touch anything.

It's like a phantom of another world, untouchable.

"It's useless, Zhou Li."

Qian Lizhen smiled: "It's time for me to wake up from my dream." ”

She smiled with relief as she looked at the children playing among the tombstones and the man who cared for them, looking contented: "It's time to wake up from this dream."

The world is changing so fast that I can't find my way. Perhaps the next road will be left to you young people. ”

"I've already told Hua Xu, I'll leave it to you after that."

Qian Lizhen looked at Zhou Li and bowed slightly: "Don't let Hua Xu hold up that burden alone, he has already ...... It's so tiring. ”

Looking at her expectant eyes, Zhou Li only felt ashamed, he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak, after a long time, he lowered his head and whispered, "I will help him." ”

"That's great."

Qian Lizhen smiled, she turned her head, turned around and walked towards her past.

"Mom, hurry up! It's too slow, Mom! ”

In the distance, the two playful children shouted and beckoned 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 out to his returning wife:

"Lizhen, let's go."

"I'll come now."

Qian Lizhen nodded, she wiped her tears, smiled, and staggered to run. It was as if the years had washed away from her body like dust, and she was no longer old, but back to the past, young and beautiful.

"Everyone wait for me......"

She staggered after her, reaching out with all her might, and squeezing her husband's hand.

They held the child 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.

The young man was no longer as sick and weak as he had been, his breathing was steady, and his face was no longer pale. When he stood at the door, his back was straight and straight, and he really lived like a young man and had health.

But his head was bowed, and his back was to the cemetery, as if he did not dare to look at it.

Hearing Zhou Li's footsteps, he turned his face slightly and asked in a low voice, "Grandmother, ...... Gone? ”

Zhou Li was silent for a long time, and said softly: "She walked very peacefully. ”

"That's good."

Lu Huaxu said softly: "It's really good......"

He kept his head down, not letting anyone else look at his face, but just raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye, blinking hard.

A black sedan slowly approached and stopped in the distance.

The doors opened, and a group of capable people in suits dispersed to isolate the surroundings. Zhou Li saw some familiar faces among them, and those people waited quietly, waiting for the return of their director.

Can ...... But there is no longer that middle-aged man with a cheap smile and vicissitudes on his face.

Perhaps, he really chose to die to wake up his students, right?

Zhou Li's expression darkened.

"I'm sorry. Let you see the joke. ”

Lu Huaxu's mood quickly calmed down. Maybe it's strong self-sedation. He squeezed out a smile. patted Zhou Li's shoulder: "Thank you, if it weren't for your help, I might have a headache for a long time." ”

Zhou Li looked at him sincerely, and felt a little guilty in his heart:

"Take what you need."

"Then you have to be busy, Uncle Yun has left a lot of work to solve."

Lu Huaxu smiled, took the lead in the front, and after taking a few steps, he turned his head to look at Zhou Li, who was still in place: "Don't be stunned there." We have a lot of business to attend to, my Deputy Director. ”

Zhou Li turned his head and looked at the cemetery behind him.

I can't see the traces of Qian Lizhen's existence, but I seem to be able to feel that soft gaze. Even in her dreams, she gazed at the world so tenderly.

"Is that what you're arranged?"

Zhou Li whispered: "It's really a burden that makes people get what they want." ”——

A week later, Shangyang, Times Cafe.

In the late afternoon, in the silence of the afternoon, a man in a suit pushed open the door.

It was a young man with a serious expression. He was carrying a black briefcase, and the tail finger of his right hand was missing. It doesn't look like a good kind.

"Excuse me, is the boss there?"

He stood in front of the bar and asked softly, "I have something I want 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, she was tutoring a little girl with her homework, her expression was gentle and serious, with a lazy smile.

When he saw the expression of the comer, he was stunned for a moment, and soon, worry appeared in his eyes.

"Hello, I'm Li Zijin."

She got up, shook hands with the visitor, and asked him to sit down: "I'm just taking care of this place, if you look for a boss, it may take a few days, and he'll be back soon." ”

She ordered a cup of coffee for the young man, and the visitor waved his hand to indicate that he was not going to.

"My name is Luo Bai."

The man in the suit was silent for a moment, hesitated, and after a long time, sighed and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ms. Li Zijin, I brought you unfortunate news. ”

"A few days ago, Mr. Zhou Li passed away in an accident."

He took out a 'death notice' from his black briefcase, as well as some bits and pieces, and placed them in front of her: "Here are some of his relics and deposits, I hope you can accept them." ”

There was a moment of silence, and Li Zijin was stunned.

She looked at Luo Bai's expression blankly, Luo Bai's face was sad, and her eyes were lowered.

"You...... Say what? Her face was pale.

Luo Bai lowered his head: "Mr. Zhou Li has passed away, please mourn and change." ”

"He's ......"

Li Zijin looked at him blankly: "He obviously said that he was going to come back!" What are you talking about?! ”

Luo Bai was 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, reached out to cover her face, and let out an irrepressible cry.

It's like a child who has lost everything—

"I have done what you ordered for you, and I have also greeted the local authorities and officials for you."

On the phone, Luo Bai's voice was complicated: "She cried very sadly, and I could see that she really liked you." It's the little girl...... After hearing that you were dead, he beat me like crazy, looking at me like an enemy, and saying that he would avenge you.

Is that really good? Although the news of your death has been announced, there is no need to tell them that you are really dead, right? ”

"That's ...... It's best for them. ”

Zhou Li lowered his head: "Just let the whole world think that I am dead." I owe them enough to bother them anymore. ”

"You don't want to bother them, you can say this kind of thing to them yourself."

Luo Bai on the phone was full of anger: "Don't look for me to do this kind of unfortunate thing in the future, okay?" I'm prone to heart disease. ”

"Don't worry, one day, I'll find someone to change your heart."

Zhou Li replied lightly and hung up the phone.

In the silence of the office, he closed his eyes tiredly. It seems to be asleep.

The afternoon sun shone on him. Dust danced in the air.

In front of the window. Under the mountain of comic books, the ignorant girl knelt on the carpet, her hand on her cheek, watching him sleep, focused and distracted. At her feet, a large pile of white paper where she practiced writing was scribbled with immature graffiti.

The eight-legged iron horse was forgotten by her in the pile of comic books, as if she was asleep, and only the indicator lights that represented her eyes flashed blue-

Punan Airport.

Tauter stood in front of his private jet. Turning back, he took his suitcase from the hands of the personnel of the relevant department.

"Alright, that's it. Go back and tell your deputy director, no matter how diligent he is, he will have to pay back the money he owes me. ”

He waved his hand, a little impatient, and after thinking for a while, he turned his head again: "You go back and tell him that I have already done the operation on Fu Xiu, and it is just a one-knife thing, anyway, there is no cure for the law." Treating the symptoms is sufficient.

As for the next step...... Let him behave for himself, and not be like some old bastard. ”

After speaking. He turned around, boarded the plane, and never looked back-

As the plane flew off the runway and into the sky, he sighed wearily and looked to the side.

"Zhou Jian'an, the goal you want has been achieved, right?"

Opposite him, an old man who appeared like a phantom seemed to be in deep thought, his eyes fixed on the city beneath his feet.

Taute looked at him coldly and asked in a low voice, "Will you really let him go?" Konstantin, will you keep your promise? ”

"You don't understand, Taut, he's going to be the Peerless Blade."

Zhou gradually shook his head slowly: "I will keep my promise and no longer go to him, but fate will eventually drive him to come to my side." ”

"Don't talk about shit fate, that thing is a bitch. The son is not as good. Taute glared at him, "What exactly did you arrange?" ”

"Nothing."

Zhou Jian'an shook his head: "You know, I never lie. It's just that the last process that he lacks in the end will also be completed, and I just feel relieved.

It's like you're dealing with your own masterpiece, and I thought you'd understand me. ”

"Never."

Taute looked at him coldly: "He's a living person, Konstantin, he's not a dead thing.

He had hands and feet, love and hate, and the only thing he lacked compared to his father was a hopeless neurosis, but there was nothing wrong with that. ”

"Really?"

Zhou Jian'an just said lightly: "Do you know? Tauter, you are a rich and lucky man. Money solves most of the problems for you, so you never get to know the feelings in other people's hearts.

You like to apply your own tricks to others, but you never understand what real 'suffering' is. So, let me tell you. ”

Zhou Jian'an looked into his eyes and said softly: "When a person has nothing and his heart is indifferent, he can't taste the pain of loss, and he doesn't understand the world.

But the closer he gets to this world, the more he will gain. The world is not generous, and he has to fight with it in order to keep what he gets. But his expectations are at odds with the trajectory of the world.

So, one day he will lose everything and return to nothing. ”

Zhou Jiannan paused and looked at the city under his feet: "He has given up unrealistic love now, hasn't he?" ”

Taute's face was pale, and he was silent.

"That's the final process, Taut." He said lightly: "When he finally understands the nature of this world, he will be reborn and become a ......"

"Be what you want to be."

Taute interrupted him: "—to become an indifferent, cruel god." ”

Zhou was silent, ignoring the angry smashing of his wine glass by Taote.

"I hate you, Zhou Jian'an, may the devil curse you."

Tao Te looked at Zhou Yan'an's indifferent face, and suddenly felt a little weak, he waved his hand: "That's it, I don't want to see you again." ”

"Goodbye then, old friend......"

Zhou gradually didn't care, just patted him on the shoulder and disappeared into the void. In the last moment, he glanced back at Taot, and his eyes were complicated-

Silence fell back in the cabin, except for Taute, who drank wine with a gloomy expression, glass after glass. Until the phone on the table rang.

He looked down at the number. Ignoring the guidelines for aircraft navigation. Take care of yourself and turn it on. Tone irritability:

"Alright, old friend. I've heard enough bad news today, do you have any bad news for me? ”

The man on the other end of the phone said in a complicated tone: "Mr. Taut, your test results are out. ”

Taute was stunned, and he put down his glass.

After a moment of silence, he lit a cigarette for himself and took two puffs hatefully: "Just say it." I've been playing for almost my whole life, and what else I can't afford? ”

"It's lung cancer. Advanced. ”

After a long silence, Taute smoked the cigarette in one pit until it burned out, and then showed a bitter smile: "I see......

"I'm sorry to inform you of this unfortunate news."

"Don't talk so much useless."

Taute asked hoarsely, "How much time do I have left?" ”

"If you follow our course of treatment, you should be able to last two to three years. But if you have your own retrofit technology, you can actually ......"

"Excuse me."

Taut interrupted him.

The old man scratched his gray hair, looking distressed and sad: "In my life, I have seen too many monsters. Just let me die as a normal human being. ”

"Then do as you wish." The man on the phone: "Do you have any requirements for the treatment process?" ”

"Nothing."

Taute smoked a cigarette and stared at the smoke in front of him. Behold them swirling and rising. and then there was no trace.

"I just thought, if I found a pastor before I died, God would have a place for me in his kingdom, right? He loves cold jokes so much, why is there less of me? ”

No one answered—

Decades or centuries later, this day is also a day that deserves to be remembered by mankind.

On this day, a lot of influential and far-reaching events took place in the world.

On this day, all the capable people in the world received the news of the death of the former head of the relevant department, the former emperor.

On this day, the new leader of China's 170,000 capable people took the stage.

On this day, the mysterious deputy head of the department, the plenipotentiary head of the operational 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 will be cancelled and all capable people will be assembled. The operational department will be expanded to include a standing armed force of more than 3,000 personnel. ”

In the order, the scope of recruitment includes even prisoners in black cells, as well as wanted criminals.

After the first order caused an uproar, the man with blue-gold eyes looked down at the men with a blank expression, and his voice was low and majestic.

"Now, in the name of the authorities, I make a declaration: from this day forward, we will wage war against the Two-Headed Vulture and Odin."

His voice was soft, but it was cold and hard: "Blood for blood, tooth for tooth." Until the last of us dies.

Unless justice is proven, our shed blood is repaid.

Otherwise, we will never give up! ”-

At that moment, everyone fell into a terrible silence, and a long stupor of stupture.

Immediately afterwards, countless radio waves and signals were sent to all parts of the world, detonating a bomb of public opinion among the capable. All the reporters rushed to the podium like crazy, and pointed their cameras at the cold young man.

In the footage, the young man just finishes his speech on his own, and then throws the speech under the podium and lets the crowd grab it.

In the final moment, he cast an indifferent glance at the camera.

It was as if the eyes reflecting blood and fire were engraved in everyone's hearts.

On that day, whether it was Pranchenko in St. Petersburg, or Odin sinking in front of the screen, or the 'Horus Pupil' who opened a line in the endless sea of data, they all had to admit it.

A new force has appeared in the world of the powerful, and the turbulent times will usher in new changes.

Whatever the outcome, a new era is coming.
