Chapter 212: The Death of Ideals
Whoever will shake the world will be silent for a long time; Whoever will light the lightning will wander like a cloud for a long time. --Nietzsche, "The Antichrist"
◇
In the corner of a darkened old factory in the south of the city, a man in a scruffy black T-shirt and jeans sits in front of hundreds of screens, grunting a sip of Coke and tossing an empty bottle into the distance.
Crisp reverberations, the smell of dirty laundry, dust everywhere.
With the take-off of the drone army, the factory building has been emptied, and only a lone man remains.
The rumbling sound of a diesel engine could be heard outside the door.
With a bang, the door was smashed open by the main battle tank, and the black hole pointed directly at his forehead.
Illuminated by hundreds of soldiers holding large laser spotlights, Xu Xin couldn't move before the black smoke was raised.
Haven't shot yet? Xu Xin squinted, but there was an extra light blue woman figure in front of him.
"Princess Fusu." Xu Xin, who was in the shadow of Fusu, greeted him in a hoarse voice.
His neck was crooked, but pulses of black particles were still maintaining his signs.
"You are Li Ling's master?" Fusu pressed the Northern Desert Frost against Xu Xin's throat.
Xu Xin spread out his hand and nodded, "How did you find mine?" ”
"There's a teenager who asked me to pass on a message to you, and your code style is too obvious."
"Yes...... Xu Xin smiled with satisfaction, "I didn't expect anyone to remember me." ”
Fusu looked at his phone, raised his chin with his sword and asked, "Why?" ”
Aren't you in a hurry to kill me? It's good.
"Ten years ago," Xu Xin pointed to the rusty Gugou Technology signboard in the corner, "because the guide dog program was not favored, I was voted out by the board of directors." ”
"Why did you go back three years ago?" Fusu pushed harder, and a blood shot out of his jaw, "The board of directors has been controlled by the Solomon Foundation?" ”
"No," Xu Xin shook his head, "I was set up by them and lost everything, and I had to return to Gugou Company, but they kept asking me to persuade Xiang Jingshan to ......."
"Surrendered because of financial problems?" Fusu questioned him with indifferent eyes.
"Not yet," Xu Xin said, "I thought it was only that time, but I didn't expect them to tie up my daughter again and force me to join." ”
"So you committed suicide by jumping off a building?"
Xu Xin raised his head, "I thought they would be able to let go of the smoke this way......
"But you were still saved by the Black Law Source, it seems that your value is not ordinary."
"Not exactly, because of my circuit qualifications."
Hearing this, Fusu nodded with satisfaction, but Xu Xin, who should have died calmly, made an unexpected move.
He took a black leather-covered notepad from the table and handed it to Fusu, "This is all my crimes. ”
Fusu took the notepad and tried to throw it to the officer behind him, but the notepad was grabbed by Xu Xin.
"Please, one thing."
"Say." Fusu let go.
Xu Xin took out a photo from a page of his notepad, "This is Yan'er, please ......"
"Not interested." Fusu shook his head indifferently.
"You'll be interested." Xu Xin suddenly whispered.
"Oh?" Fusu raised his eyes.
"She's the author of the identification system." Xu Xin leaned closer along the blade of the sword and said.
Fusu was startled, and quickly took the photo and quietly put it in his sleeve.
Xu Xin closed his eyes in satisfaction. Idealism is dead.
And Fusu just raised the North Desert Frost and aimed it at his head, but he didn't make a move.
She was waiting for an order.

In the civic square under the night sky, blood flowed through the trouser tube into the nicks on the ground.
Injured, this is the feeling that Wen Cheng has not felt for a long time.
The moment he pounced in front of Liu Zhen, his body also evoked unparalleled power, but it was still firmly pierced.
The fifth to sixth ribs in the right rib were in pain.
As if to engrave a permanent mark in the night, Wen Cheng whispered like a dying beast.
"Unforgivable ......"
The muffled voice repeated until the pain spread throughout the body.
I can't forgive myself for not daring to face it all until this moment.
His knees bent down, and he staggered out to summon Condensation to support his body. The pain sensation starts to stack, at least the last time.
The chest cavity heats up, and it seems to be the unpleasant feeling of being pinched hard by the rough arm.
The blood pressure rose sharply, and it rushed directly to the throat, and I had never felt this kind of pouring out my heart and blood for a long time. Plus the dizziness that just got out of the conductor.
It hurts a lot, it hurts my heart.
But......
"Ryu Zhen ......"
He pulled out the arrow in his right chest with a bang, and then turned back and smirked stubbornly.
"Please let me ...... Re-protect your ......"
I don't want to lead you to victory.
I don't want to do it for the world, I don't want it for justice.
I don't want to be your subordinate, I don't want to be your comrade-in-arms.
I just want to protect you.
The beginning, the moment, and the eternity.
I guess I don't need your protection again, but that's okay.
Whether it is Ning Ran, Liu Qin, or Han Wu, all other women are inseparable existences at this moment.
"I didn't ask you that." Facing his sincere eyes, Liu Zhen replied indifferently.
Want to avoid this question in a different capacity?
Sister Xiu can't come back, I know better than anyone else.
This cold answer was warm and embarrassing, as if it had been rejected.
That's why I've never confessed to you for three years.
Because I know better than anyone that you only have one chance.
"Don't pretend."
He burst into earnest tears and smiled brightly at the girl.
The princess looked away as if she had been poked in pain.
Wen Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
I have a dream that I can't say easily.
If it is expressed in pain, if it is expressed in life, if it is expressed in silence, if it is expressed in tears, no single form is enough.
Only the gears of fate turn together, expressed in my entirety.
I love the pain, at least only the pain tells me who it's for.
"Give me twenty seconds."
In his flustered breathing, he stared at Liu Zhen's bloody severed arm and muttered to himself.
This is tacit understanding.
In the dark blue shield, Wen Cheng took out the blood-stained herbal bandage from his arms, pulled it into two, wrapped it around Liu Zhen's shoulders and arms, and smiled at the faint green fluorescence on the glittering bandage.
Bang bang bang, in front of the chest are three consecutive clusters of fire.
At the same moment, Liu Zhen burned Wen Cheng's wounds.
The two looked at each other with hot and sad eyes, and everything was silent.
"Twenty seconds." The princess repeated indifferently.
Before the death of idealism, only the sound of a blue shield remains.
Speaking of which, this silence is really a long time coming.
You and I are separated from this world.
Wen Cheng stared at Liu Zhen for five seconds with tears in his eyes.
"What, Your Majesty," Li Ling lowered his arm and sneered in the distance, "Are you so afraid of death?" ”
"You're not qualified to say that!" Wen Cheng turned his head and roared.
"I'm not eligible?" Li Ling suddenly shouted like a grievance several times over, "I originally wanted to emulate Su Wu, did he give me a chance?" ”
Su Wu? Are you also worthy of Su Wu?
There are so many heroic spirits, why do they take so much care of you? Isn't Xiaozhu as good as you? Her father can't compare to you?
I'm fed up with the respect for the Heroic Spirits.
Not to mention......
"Su Wu is a civil servant, and you are a military general!"
Li Ling was stunned by this roar, and the expression on his face darkened.
Wen Cheng didn't give him time.
"Listen up to all members of the Shinnogumi!" Wen Cheng firmly protected Yoo Jin and shouted into the headphones.
Away from his righteousness, away from his heroic spirit.
Li Ling, do you really think I'm going to wait for you to talk nonsense?
In order to take care of your long-cherished wish, for the sake of messy reasons, I have already hurt Liu Zhen too much!
So
"If you dare to move Liu Zhen, you will kill him!"
Five seconds to go.
"Fusu! Behead Xu Xin for me! "The first second.
"Roger." The second second.
The sound of blood splatters and heavy objects falling to the ground. The third second.
Li Ling was gradually engulfed by a vortex of light particles from the bottom up. Fourth second.
"Ningran!" Wen Cheng raised his head and shouted angrily at the sky.
Knort. Fifth second.
After an oblique spiral current, the bullet exploded in Li Ling's skull.
Li Ling, the right colonel of the Huns, kill!
Inside the dark blue shield, with his back to the orange light particles that dissipated like a cyclone, Wen Cheng turned his head to look at Liu Zhen with hot eyes.
Use your kindness to perform a good story of Li Ling's return to Han? It doesn't work my princess.
This is my script, the script for you.
Yoo Jin avoided his gaze.
But that's not the end of it.
The rebel is dead, and the next step is to appease the wrath of a loyal servant.
"General Fei, give you 30 seconds," Wen Cheng turned to face Li Guang, "commit suicide." ”
