Chapter 31: The Stars Are Bright
"Hey, old man, what's the matter, let me tell you, don't think about selling gold anymore, I don't care where you got it...... My family really can't take it. ”
"Ahem, ahem...... No, don't worry, this time I just want to ask you, where are you going to spend New Year's Day. ”
"New Year's Day...... Abroad, I'm going back next week, there's a new project to start on my mentor's side, I'm going to hurry back, we won't graduate or not, and we're still holding it in the hands of others. ”
"New project, what new project?" Cassia instantly came to his senses when he heard Zixuan's words, this guy is engaged in bioengineering, maybe he can give him some inspiration.
Unexpectedly, Zixuan said: "I don't know, I'll go over first, if you're interested, I'll tell you later." ”
Cassia spread out on the sofa: "Okay, then when are you leaving, I'll send you." ”
On the sofa, Cassia looked up at the ceiling, there are ten days left to be New Year's Day, which is not only the handover of the year, but also his birthday, and after that day, he has entered the threshold of 26 years old.
Cassia rubbed his face, 26 years old, he is not a child anymore, although his personality is still a little sullen, but he can be regarded as having worked hard in the workplace, and then experienced cancer, now he is a lot more mature than before, but unfortunately he still has nothing to do, young and inactive.
"Huh...... I'm the creator now, how can I say nothing?"
Cassia smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and began to pack his things, he was going to go out to buy some things and make himself something to eat, although food was always simulated in the Atlanta world, but in it he was only a spirit body after all, and eating this kind of thing was still real to have a feeling.
He is actually still a little envious of Zixuan, not to mention the rich second generation, at least he still has a family, but what about himself, if there is no accident, on New Year's Day, he is alone at home watching the party, sometimes think about it, he has really come alone for so many years.
After changing his clothes, carrying his mobile phone, Cassia went out to take a taxi and went straight to the vegetable market, bought some vegetables and meat, and then turned around and went to the home improvement market to buy some phosphor.
In the end, Cassia carried vegetables and pork belly, and carried fluorescent powder around his waist, and went to visit the dinosaur museum again, although the security personnel and tourists present were very strange, looking at him with a foolish look, but he still calmly used his life force to condense into a knife, and quietly scraped a little powder on each specimen and grinded it down.
After that, Cassia took a vacation in the real world with peace of mind, although the Atlanta world is very interesting, and he still has a lot of work to do, but he will still be a little tired after a long time in front of those training cabins.
On this day, Cassia, who had just sent Zixuan away, returned home and collapsed on the sofa.
"I shouldn't be 26 years old this year, I've been in the Atlanta world for almost two years,, I'm going to be 28 this year?
Cassia closed his eyes in a hurry, calmed down for a while, took out his phone, looked at the number that he hadn't dialed for a long time, and finally closed the screen.
..............................
Atlanta, orc tribes.
The old Lana was lying on the wooden bed, dying, just like Tucci back then, and this time it was still Dapu of the rabbit people who was in charge of her treatment.
"Elder Lana......
"I know, it's useless, isn't it?" asked Lana, weakly.
"I will definitely heal you, please trust me, I will definitely ......"
Dapu bent over, gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, she felt very useless, since the death of Elder Tucci, several elders of various ethnic groups have passed away one after another.
Each time she was confident that she could save their lives, but the result was the same every time.
And this time it was the turn of Elder Lana, who was second only to the Elder of Tucci in the clan, she was still powerless, she didn't understand a little, why did they die, why?
What about the all-powerful God? Why didn't he come and save them, why did he let one honorable person after another die? Why?
Thinking about it, Dap's eyes quickly moistened.
Lana looked at her with gentle eyes, trying to raise her hand to help Dap wipe away her tears, but she couldn't muster any strength.
In the end, he just said softly: "Dapu, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, we...... We're just too old. ”
Dapu raised his head with red eyes, still thinking about saying something, but was interrupted by Lana: "I want to be alone for a while, okay, kid?"
"Elder Lana......
"Go out, let me be alone for a while......"
When Dapu left, Lana was the only one left in the room, and she slowly closed her eyes, activating the wind elemental ability, and the manic gale was imprisoned around her, not destroying the contents of the house.
Then she channeled her consciousness into the supernatural and prayed sincerely.
This is what Tucci taught her, and he said that by doing so, he could reach Him.
Lana on the wooden bed muttered word by word, but until the charcoal fire in the brazier had been extinguished, there was still no vision in the room.
After a few more moments, Lana opened her eyes, the gale vanished from her side, and the butterfly wings behind her lost their luster, and now she was so weak that she couldn't even use her god-given talent.
She looked out the window at the night, stunned, the prayer she had just prayed for was not so that she could continue to live, but there was one thing, Lana wanted to ask Him personally.
"What would you have thought about in the last moments of your life?"
This question kept echoing in Lana's mind for a long time, until dawn, and Dap, who was really uneasy, pushed the door in......
The mountains behind the orcs
Dapu stood quietly in front of Lana's grave, tears streaming down her face, and her companions kept comforting her, but it made her cry even more.
"Dap, stop crying, Elder Lana...... We're all sad, but life has to go on, don't we......?
"No!" Dap, who had always been quiet and gentle, suddenly roared, "Why, what is the impermanence of life and death, I don't understand, why didn't He come to save Elder Lana, you say, why?"
Dapu kept shaking his companion's shoulders and questioning one after another.
"That'...... That's God......" the companion whispered.
"Yes, that's God, what are we? ...... we?" muttered Dapu as he left the mountain in despair.
Just when Dap's mentality changed inexplicably, in the human territory, 18-year-old Kyle was nervously looking at a hole, and there were many people around, who also looked towards the hole on the ground.
"Hey, it's coming out......"
As the shouts in the crowd grew, two sturdy figures slowly crawled out of the dark hole.
Kyle couldn't wait to greet him: "Uncle Kevin, Uncle Otto, how is it, have you found anything?"
The man named Otto wiped his forehead and picked off the straw basket behind his back: "Yes, you see, this thing is actually harder than a stone, and it takes half a day to detain it." ”
Kyle picked up a dark green stone from the straw basket, looked at it quietly, and asked:
"Uncle Otto, how much is there under this thing?"
"A lot, a whole wall...... No, it's all over the hole, my God, it's hard to dig this rock. ”
..............................
When Cassia returned to the Moon Palace again, his figure had just appeared, and a stream of information came into his mind.
"Is Lana dead too?" he muttered.
Then, Cassia reached out and grabbed it out of thin air, and a fist-sized ball of light appeared in front of him, which belonged to Lana's soul.
Then, Cassia felt the message in the light cluster and sighed softly: "My last moment......"
night
Cassia stood alone on the edge of the crystal ball, looking at the earth in silence, until the last moment of Lana's life, she didn't understand what life and death are, but she still accepted it with a smile, like a compromise with Cassia.
But the price is that Cassia can't answer Lana's final question at all: what will she think in the last moments of her life.
If I had cancer in the past, I would have gotten by and tried my best to enjoy the rest of my life, but now......
Cassia took a deep breath, he knew that Lana hadn't let go of what had happened back then, and this question was her last resistance, but Cassia had to admit that this time, it was Lana who won.
After a moment of silence, Cassia shook his head, reached out and summoned five or six sacks, neatly arranged together and opened them, all of which contained fluorescent powder that he had wrapped in resin.
"This is not just for Kyle, it's for all of you. ”
As he spoke, Cassia waved his hand, and countless resin balls wrapped in fluorescent powder flew out, fixed in the night sky little by little according to the established rules, flashing with bright light.
Today, for the first time, the Atlanta world has stars.
Tonight, the stars are shining.
