"According to the characteristics of the ghost clan that there is no material carrier, the Millennium Key and several other think tanks in the line began to jointly study ways to deal with the ghost clan. They divided the city of the Two Blades in two, the eastern city was renamed the city of war, and the western city was renamed the city of protection. The only goal of the War City is to keep the Oni Clan out of the Twoblade Canyon and provide a safe experimental environment and time for the research of the Guardian City. ”

Soon after, the millennium crown was the first to make a breakthrough, and he successfully found a way to suppress the ghost clan. But just as he was about to make this method public, he was stopped by his father's Millennium Key. ”

Distant past.

The city guarded by the Two-Bladed Mountain.

"Father, seniors, what are you doing here? We have already found a way to defeat a strong enemy! Why don't you tell those soldiers the good news?" said the millennium.

"Because they don't know yet. An old woman walked up to the millennium on crutches.

"Father?" Millennial Crown looked at the Millennium Key, but the latter shook his head regretfully, and Millennial Crown looked at the old woman in front of him again, "Granny Long Teng, why is this?"

"In our research, there is an inconspicuous discovery, I don't know if you have paid attention to it. ”

"What are you referring to?"

"The immaterial life of the ghost clan will grow in war, just as our warriors will become more and more developed in war, and their fighting skills will become more and more mature. Granny Long Teng hinted.

"Yes. The Millennium Key didn't understand what Granny Long Teng really wanted to say, "The ghost clan is raising us in captivity, making us their blood food, their numbers will not decrease, and they are gradually getting stronger, but our people are getting fewer and fewer. Therefore, we must solve the problem as soon as possible. ”

A withered old man stood up and said sharply, "Is it a good way to solve the enemy's problem by stimulating the emotions of the warrior before death and killing the enemy as a weapon?"

"Whether it's a good way or a bad way, it's better than no way. Or do you have a higher way, Grandpa River Sacrifice?" "The millennium crown admits that this is a way that is close to the same end, but if the ghost clan is not eradicated as soon as possible, they will only become stronger and stronger, and at that time, the Holy Grass Realm may not even have the qualifications to die.

The old man called the River Sacrifice calmed down and said slowly, "The main force of the invaders has already left, and even these ghost clans that we are helpless against are at most in the middle and lower echelons of their clan. Yet they were numerous, a hundred thousand. ”

"But our Two-Edged Mountain, there are still a million people!" said the millennium.

He sneered, "Including the women and children, including the old men and the wounded and sick? If you think that if you can pick up a stone, you can count it as a soldier, then we do have a million people." But even if these million people can fight, and fight for their lives, how many will be left in the end?"

Hearing the question of the river festival, the millennium crown took out a data and said, "If everything goes well, we will have at least 50,000 people left." ”

"What if it doesn't go well?" said Granny Long Teng on the side, "The ghost clan is not a target that will not move, they will run, they will think of countermeasures, they come from a higher civilization than us, if it doesn't go well, our civilization will be completely destroyed." ”

"And even if we succeed, what will the remaining 50,000 old, young, sick and disabled do? Two-Bladed Mountain is located in the middle of nowhere, and the people here are brave and ruthless, and they have no higher education, can they inherit the culture of our Holy Grass Star? Who here will build a star nest? Who can prepare the Holy Barbarian Medicine Spectrum? These people will be of no use to the reconstruction of civilization except for physical effort. ”

Ignoring the other party's aging body, the thousand-year-old crown grabbed the collar of the river sacrifice, "They are fighting for the Holy Grass Star all the time, fighting for the last survival of civilization, who gave you the courage to say such a thing?!"

Instead of getting angry, he said calmly, "You are angry because you can't refute it, you can't refute it, because you know that what I said is not wrong." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" the millennium crown let go of his hand and looked at his father again at the millennium key, "If you make some kind of decision, just tell me." ”

"We want to restore the Sacred Grass Realm. Millennium Key said.

The millennium crown frowned, he felt that this kind of thing was something that every person in the Holy Grass Realm should do, but there must be an unusual reason why his father was discussing this so seriously when there was still such a foreign enemy.

"The closed loop of time we can create is not perfect, and there will be a fault at the junction of bending time. This causes the world in a closed space-time to pause abruptly at this point in time, and then jump back in time, and the cycle continues. ”

"To be more specific, suppose I bend your timeline from the day you were born to the day you turned twenty into a closed loop. Then when you reach the age of twenty, you and your world will suddenly jump back to the day you were born twenty years ago. ”

"But you at the age of twenty, and the world you lived in at the time, didn't actually disappear. That space is nothing more than a frozen and static space because there is no flow of timelines. ”

"And for such a static space, it's like a mine, and although we can't fully activate it, we can extract the treasure we need from it. And these treasures are the key to our restoration of the Holy Grass Realm. ”

Hearing his father mention the matter of time closed-loop again, the millennium crown faintly had a very bad feeling, "What does the so-called treasure refer to?"

"At the nexus of bending time, although we can't be perfect, it is a complete timeline after all, so when you reach the age of twenty, time has to jump back to when you were born, and the extra memories of your twenty years will be erased. To put it simply, compared to twenty years ago, what is more will be discarded, and what is less will be made up. ”

"The total amount of matter in curved space-time is constant, but non-matter can penetrate this closed loop. So... As long as this space-time closed loop is still there, then every time time time it runs in the closed loop, we can harvest the immaterial life energy that the ghost race has grown. ”

The millennium crown was instantly silent. To harvest the non-material life energy of the growth of the ghost clan, it will take countless soldiers of the Two-Bladed City to go on forever in a war with no victory, no results, and no end.

If it were in peacetime, the millennium would have despised those who raised such ideas, but now, this sacrifice would lead to a favorable result for the Holy Grass Realm, which is to make up for the lack of immaterial life energy for all the dead in the Sacred Grass Realm, and bring them back to life. If all the dead people in the Holy Grass Star can be revived, then the rebuilding of the Holy Grass Realm will not be out of reach.

"So, what do you think we're going to do?" asked the Millennium Key.

"I don't know. The millennium crown said in a low voice.

"You know, you just don't want to say it!" Granny Long Teng looked at the millennium crown aggressively, as if she had to let him tell the answer in her heart, "It's not a trivial matter, no one in Two Blades City is damned, on the contrary, every single one of them is a hero, once upon a time, now is, and will be in the future." So..."

"You don't dare to make that decision, do you?" asked the millennium.

"So this matter needs to be approved by all 18 people at our highest decision-making level before it can be executed." As long as one person is against it, then... The old man will be the first to rush to the battlefield and use his strength before death to fight a ghost clan. ”

"Who knows about this?" asked the millennium in a low voice.

"At present, only these 18 people at our highest decision-making level, if the plan is implemented, then they will tell the surviving villagers of Shengcao Village in Tianman Mountain to assist us. The river priest replied.

"Is anyone against it?" asked the millennium, a little trembling.

"17 people are in favor, you are the last. Granny Long Teng said.

At this moment, the surroundings seemed to suddenly fall silent, and even the breathing and heartbeat of several people could be heard.

The Millennium Key can feel that the sympathy and compassion in the hearts of all are expecting their own opposition. However, everyone has the heavy responsibility and righteousness of restoring the Holy Grass Realm on their shoulders, and they are expecting their approval.

No one wants to throw the soldiers of Twoblades Mountain into hell, and no one can convince themselves to be an executioner who turns a butcher's knife on his compatriots. On this multiple-choice question, no one chose to object, perhaps they were all waiting for the next person to relent, but everyone threw that veto to the next person.

The Millennium Key angrily smashed the table beside him, "Why am I the last?!"

The old river priest grinned, and layers of folds suddenly piled up on his cheeks, "Because you are the youngest, and the old guys are always selfish, then what is your choice?"

The millennium felt like she was about to cry, as if nothing had ever been so difficult to choose. He knew that he should agree, but when he thought of the soldiers who fought day and night in front of him, he really couldn't say it.

Granny Long Teng stepped forward and stretched out her withered hands to hold the cheeks of the thousand-year-old crown, "But no matter what choice you make, we won't blame you." If you agree, then our righteousness will be fulfilled, and if you refuse, then our mercy will be fulfilled. Leaving the last choice to you, we are indeed very irresponsible. But none of us thought that the first 17 old guys would be so irresponsible. ”

"It's so hard. The millennium closed her eyes in pain.

"It's a right-and-wrong choice. Granny Long Teng comforted.

"That's why it's hard. ”

"There are two more days left, so let's take a break. Granny Long Teng sighed.

The millennium crown was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I agree. ”

"Don't think about it anymore?"

The millennium crown shook her head, "This answer is sooner or later, I know it in my heart." ”
