Chapter 140: Have You Ever Remembered Love?
Lu Fan thought to himself, his incomplete singing voice, it is better to forget about singing.
Looking at the system, it seemed that the cooldown time for the singing skill line had come again, so he connected the body with the skill line.
The singer quickly displays the score of the next song on the screen.
Lu Fan turned up the power of the amplifier of the first machine to the maximum, and then, he and the singer spoke together and sang this song-
"Have You Ever Remembered Love"
{Theme song of the anime "Macross macRoss", original song: Mari Iijima}
Now, I hear your voice again~?
"Come here!" ~?
You said to me who was about to fall in loneliness~?
Now, I see you again~?
Towards ~?
I'm waiting for you with my eyes closed, coming slowly~?
Until yesterday, I was still crying sadly~?
And now my heart~?
Do you remember~?
The moment when eyes meet~?
Do you remember~?
When we hold hands~?
That was us~?
The beginning of the journey of love~?
……
The song sung by Lu Fan and the singer sung by him, the melodic sound waves emitted collided with the sound waves of the succubus, and the color between heaven and earth seemed to change from black and white to color again.
The singing seemed to have healing powers, and the painful expressions on the faces of the onlookers slowly disappeared and became peaceful and calm again.
It seems that the haze that has just lingered in my heart has disappeared in an instant. That weird and chaotic nightmare is over, and everything is back in order.
This song seems to be like a sweet spring, watering people's parched hearts.
so~?
Can I feel your gaze now~?
Despite being separated from each other ~?
But I still feel warm in my body~?
Nowadays, I firmly believe in your love~?
So please~?
Even in the distance, take good care of me~?
Because of your existence~?
It's not alone anymore~?
Because you're still here~?
It's not alone anymore~?
Because you're still in my heart~?
……
In the back mountain warehouse of Tokai No. 1 Middle School, Yuko who was hidden in the shadows in the corner of the warehouse also heard this song.
The song "Puppet Ballad" sung by the succubus before has already caused a lot of attacks on Yuko.
Moreover, because of the effect of aPtx9684 potion, Yuko's spirit is already more fragile than ordinary people, so her pain is far stronger than those ordinary citizens outside.
But after hearing this song, Yuko seems to have regained her strength, and although her consciousness is slowly beginning to blur, she herself does not feel uncomfortable.
With the melody of "Have You Ever Remember Love", the real world in front of her was blurred and distorted, and what appeared in front of her eyes was a scene that haunted her countless times-
At this time, Yuko was standing in the corridor on the fifth floor of the Hope House Orphanage, and directly in front of her was a low wooden door.
The sign on the door bears her familiar name: Sally.
Yuko's body trembled involuntarily, I don't know if it was because of excitement or apprehension, the small room in front of her not only carried her hope and happiness, but also her past nightmares and torture.
Now this small wooden door is so quietly stopped here, as if waiting for Yuko's visit.
She swallowed, her hand kept going up and down. She didn't know how much of her hesitation was due to excitement and how much was apprehension.
The melodious melody of the song came to her ears again, soothing the waves in her heart. She gained strength again from this song.
That's right, it's not easy to come here again, no matter what kind of people are in it or what kind of things they will do, she is already mentally prepared.
Just as Yuko's white hand was about to open the door—
Squeak ......
There was a slight noise from the wooden door, and the figure of a certain girl poked her head timidly out from behind the door.
After seeing the girl, Yuko's pupils instantly tightened, and the whole person froze in place.
Shoulder-length long blond hair, blue eyes like jewels, and a delicate face that is incredibly beautiful...... The light from the dome penetrated her blonde hair, making it seem like her hair had its own soft light filter.
The girl's barefoot little body slowly walked out of the wooden door and came to Yuko.
At this moment, Yuko seemed to feel that time had stood still, and her heartbeat had slowed down by half a beat.
The lovely man in front of him doesn't know how many years Yuko has been haunted by his dreams.
Even if it was Ryo Suzuki's attack on the monitoring room, the imaginary dream that was deliberately created was enough to make Yuko unforgettable.
Now, Sally appeared in front of her again, and this time it was not a false fantasy created by Ryo Suzuki, which naturally made her even more excited.
Yuko didn't know what was going on, she instinctively thought that it was a hallucination caused by a combination of singing or drugs, but even if it was a dream or a hallucination, she didn't want to wake up.
"Sha...... Sally ......" Yuko pursed her lips and called softly.
Sally didn't react in particular when she saw Yuko, and didn't seem surprised by Yuko's appearance.
"Yuko, you're here." Sally happily took Yuko's hand as if she were greeting a friend she had only met yesterday.
"Let's go, the dean is going to take us to do morning class!"
With that, she smiled and took Yuko's hand and came to the restaurant on the first floor.
This restaurant is still the same as Yuko remembers, but at this time, the restaurant is surrounded by a lot of brightly colored carnations.
The children in the orphanage were already sitting on either side of the long table and chairs.
"Sally, you're here, hurry up and sit down, I'll be waiting for you." The female dean, who had a gentle face and no anger, called enthusiastically.
"Sally, come and sit with me." The fat girl with a freckled face excitedly pointed to the empty seat next to her.
"No, Sally belongs to all of us, and should take turns sitting next to everyone!" The other boys at the table protested, then gave Sally expectant looks.
It seems that Sally is here, very popular with everyone.
She blushed and found a place to sit.
During free time after morning class and breakfast, a few boys ran over and surrounded Sally and Yuko in the middle.
One of the chubby boys, holding a small robot doll, handed it to Sally.
Yuko asked Sally alertly, "Did he steal your toy?" ”
Sally smiled and shook her head: "No, no, when I was playing with this robot toy yesterday, I accidentally broke the toy's leg, and he helped me fix it." ”
"Hey, my dream is to grow up to be a craftsman, and that's a little thing." The chubby little boy touched his nose shyly.
After playing around downstairs, Sally took Yuko back to her small room.
Sally's room is completely different from Yuko's impression.
Compared with the previous simple furnishings, the current room is decorated with a lot of pink curtains and furniture, and the bedside is also full of dolls, which is more delicate and warm, which is what an ordinary girl's room should look like.
It's dawn, and Yuko and Sally are sitting on the windowsill hand in hand, looking into the distance.
At this time, the magnificent and vast scene of mountains, rivers, and verdant trees outside the window came into view, and at first it seemed that the black and white oil painting with heavy brush and ink was gradually given various colors as the sun rose.
Sally watched it all with a feast, her little short legs swaying happily, and she stretched out her immature fingers, letting the rays of the morning sun pass through her fingertips.
"Sally, will you forgive me and reconcile with me?" Yuko spoke with a little trepidation.
Sally turned her head and smiled sweetly in the light curtain of the rising sun:
"Yuko, you don't need my forgiveness, because you didn't do anything wrong."
"However, if I had been earlier...... Yuko's expression gradually dimmed, "I really wish I had the opportunity to reconcile with you and continue to be friends with you." ”
"Yuko, what you really have to do is to reconcile with your past self. I think that now in front of you, inadvertently, there are a lot of people worth cherishing, right?
Listen carefully to this song "Have You Ever Remember Love", you have almost forgotten how to love others over the years. Is it because you can't forgive yourself at that time that you can't make [Tears of Truth] without sleep or food......?"
Yuko pursed her lips and didn't deny it.
"Yuko, I have always thanked you for reaching out to me at that time, you brought me only salvation, no sinful karma. Now, it's time to free yourself from the shackles of the past and embrace a new life. ”
On the windowsill, Sally faced the rising sun, her narrow and beautiful eyes narrowed slightly,
"What you see here today is what the world looks like when the Tears of Truth is complete. The happiness you want to convey to me, I already feel deeply.
You should puff up your chest, your efforts over the years have not been in vain. No matter where I am, I will look forward to the day when your great wish will be fulfilled. ”
Sally said softly, and then the figure slowly floated up from the windowsill, higher and higher off the ground......
"Don't leave me!" Yuko couldn't hold back any longer, and pulled Sally into her arms, and the two beautiful girls embraced each other in the light curtain of the morning light.
Feeling the warmth of Yuko's arms, Sally's little head rubbed like a cat, feeling the instant happiness.
Tears glistened in the corners of her eyes......
"Although this is also a tear of truth, it is only a tear of happiness......"
Sally's voice slowly became blurred, and at the same time, her body began to dissolve into scattered points of light, like a bright corner of the galaxy and a group of dancing elves.
Then, these points of light slowly drifted away towards the rising sun.
At the moment before Sally, who had turned into a point of light, disappeared completely, her lips moved, and she uttered the last words:
“world。”
……
When the chorus of Lu Fan and Ge Ji ended, all the onlookers at the scene couldn't help but be moved to tears, and they began to applaud and cheer wildly.
The bright moonlight shone through the layers of dark clouds and re-illuminated the first fuselage, which at this time was more like a real angel than the winged fallen angel in mid-air.
Lu Fan and the singer were in the cheers of everyone, passing on the sound of heaven while accepting the baptism of the light curtain.
In the convoy of the special search class, Adjutant Bai Shengnan's nose was sore, and he immediately cried with pear blossoms and rain.
The scientists in the command center of Qingsong Group and the command center of Tielong Technology also cried.
In the detention center of the special search section of Donghai City, the four King Kongs tasted the melody of the song with complicated expressions.
With the first machine as the center, the rare and dazzling rainbow circle spreads out in all directions, and enters the dark realm around the succubus.
This time, the chorus between Lu Fan and the singer released the spiritual power far beyond the [singer] mode of the succubus.
After a few moments, the succubus seemed to be unable to bear the power of the melody any longer, and after its own singing was completely overshadowed, it tilted its body and planted its head down to the ground.
Lu Fan naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and operated the first machine to run in the direction where the succubus fell.
"Gah-"
The succubus still didn't give up struggling, and in the process of falling, it tried to adjust its fighting posture and stabilize its body.
But the first few fierce battles, coupled with the depletion of spiritual power, also made it weak.
Bang!!!
It slammed straight into the ground, kicking up ten floors of dust and smashing into a crater-like crater.
The buildings within a radius of kilometers were also destroyed in an instant.
After falling to the ground, the succubus tried to get up with its engine power increasing and tried to get up, but as soon as it emerged from the ruins of the building, it was stepped on again by the first machine.
"Let me end your short and sinful life."
After saying this execution line, Lu Fan operated the first number machine to raise the vibrating particle knife in his hand and stabbed it at the back of the succubus!
"Quack quack—"
The particle knife pierced through the succubus's body, and it raised its haughty head in a final cry and struggle.
The mecha-powered engine was running at full speed, as if it wanted to break through the confines of the first machine.
But Lu Fan would not give the other party a chance, and the first machine held down the particle knife and continued to increase the force.
The succubus screamed and struggled, and the sound it made became weaker and weaker......
Finally, the red light in its eyes flickered twice before it was completely extinguished.
At this moment, all the singing stopped, and all the fierce fighting returned to calm, only the clouds rolling in the night sky of Tokai City reminded the flow of time.
After being stunned for a moment, the onlookers at the scene immediately erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
From the port in the northern district, to the ancient town in the southern plain district, from the hills of the Xiling district to the tidal flats in the eastern mountainous area, the momentum is overwhelming, and the whole city is boiling!
The host who was on the live TV broadcast excitedly explained:
"Dear audience and friends, what you see tonight is definitely the most shocking scene of this century, there is no one!
Oh my God, I'm so excited that I'm so incoherent now that I don't know what words to put to describe how I feel right now!
Later, our station will conduct an exclusive follow-up in-depth report, please stay tuned to the satellite channel of Tokai TV. ”
In the command center of Qingsong Group, Tao Qingsong and a group of staff members breathed a long sigh of relief - it seems that the company's headquarters building has been preserved.
At the same time, Tao Qingsong looked at the first machine on the screen, his expression was complex and secretive, and he muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "Wanshi Company? Lu Fan? Kind of interesting......"
Although the noise outside was shocking, Lu Fan inside the mecha knew in his heart that even if he said such a handsome execution line just now, his side was no better.
The internal power supply system of the first machine has only 5 minutes of operation left.
After confirming that the succubus was completely scrapped, Lu Fan didn't say a word, turned the direction of the first machine, and ran wildly towards the northeast of the city.
After defeating the succubus, the spirit system did not pop up a prompt for the completion of the task, so Lu Fan knew that the key enemy of the third milestone was still at large, and it was time for this primordial machine to exert its last residual heat.
At this time, in the mecha display screen in front of Lu Fan, the structure map of Tielong Technology Company sent to him by Youzi before, as well as the satellite map of Donghai City, the first machine was at full power, starting a new round of urban parkour.
Target Tielong Technology Company!
