Volume 2 The Beginning of the Power Chapter 150 Vigil
Tony was busy until one o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't until the witch entered a dreamless state that he returned to Luo Youcheng's sea of consciousness. He was very tired and didn't want to talk at all, but Luo Youcheng had been waiting for him.
"Brother Tony, there are two questions, you must explain them to me today."
"Just ask." Tony said lazily.
"First, the witch has a tryst with the long-armed in a dream every day, is it a ghost love? Is it immoral to let a living person sink in the caress of a dead man? ”
"She was voluntary, no one forced her." Tony argued, "Besides, the long arm comes from her memories, so what does it have to do with ghosts?" ”
"Long Arm is dead after all, and witches should have a life of their own."
"Do you think if I don't do this, she'll be able to go back to her normal life? You want her to come out of the pain of losing her long arm, I understand. But they have been dependent on each other for 20 years, and they can come out if they leave? She couldn't have accepted anyone else for a long time. ”
"Maybe she's not as extreme as you think."
"Thousands of people died in Shekou, did she ever feel any uneasy?"
Luo Youcheng was speechless, a quarter of the people in the Xiangxi base were killed by snake venom, but this incident did not bother the witch, and all her uneasiness came from the death of Long Arm. When she first received her abilities, she aspired to become a vegetarian who did not kill, and she was the ultimate in goodness. This is at opposite ends of her later snake exorcism revenge. To say that this girl has no bipolar personality, Luo Youcheng can't convince himself.
"Very human, naturally with extraordinary means. At least she's happy, right? ”
Luo Youcheng was once again persuaded by Tony, or he could not find any reason to refute Tony. So he threw up the second question.
"You have said that in your world, it is illegal to look through your memories except in the face of the wicked. Is what you're doing to witches right now? Or have you defined witches as wicked? ”
Tony smiled dumbly: "I only praised you for your good brain yesterday, what's wrong today?" All I moved were fragments of dreams that were floating outside of my consciousness. If I want to move her consciousness, am I going to be so troublesome? Clearing away bad memories and using illusion to paint her a new life is only a day's work, and it can clear all hidden dangers once and for all. But I can't do that, that's murder. ”
If consciousness is replaced, the former druid witch dies, and she is faced with a replacement, or Tony's creation. Luo Youcheng was very satisfied with Tonygo's reply.
Leaving the druid witch, Luo Youcheng walked to Liu Ying's side. This girl was busy on the farm during the day, and she still insisted on keeping vigil at night, but after all, she couldn't resist the tiredness, and fell asleep in her sleeping bag.
The tradition of vigil has been extinct as early as the 23rd century, and funeral rituals have become more and more simplified, and there is no longer a three-day mortuary, but the tradition of offering flowers at the grave on the first seven days has been preserved. The vigil in the academy was entirely spontaneous, and there were not many rules, sleeping when you were sleepy, talking to people when you were awake, or chatting with the dead like a druid witch did.
The attack on the ranch this time triggered Luo Youcheng's sense of crisis, and Liu Ying's luck this time was indeed very good, and she was not in the ranch at the time of the incident. He tried to imagine if something happened to this girl, whether he would be stronger than the druid witch, but this question made his heart ache for no reason, and the answer given in his heart was that he would only be crazier than the witch.
Luo Youcheng lay down beside Liu Ying, leaned sideways, looking at the delicate face, his heart was sour
。 He has always felt that he owes Liu Ying emotionally, and every time he finds time to accompany her, this girl is too busy to fly. This girl seems to be weak, but she is actually very independent. Not only her, but even his grandparents never held him back. Luo Youcheng secretly decided that after this busy time, he must take his family to his own industry to take a walk and relax.
After some time, he fell asleep in a daze. He dreamed that he was flying in the sky with Liu Mei in his arms, shuttling between the green mountains and green waters. Flying and flying, I only felt my shoulders sink and fall. When I opened my eyes, it was the eagle patting me on the shoulder, and in the other hand I was holding a sleeping bag.
"Sir, it's cold on the ground." The eagle handed over the sleeping bag.
"Eagle, haven't slept yet?" Luo Youcheng didn't pick it up, turned over and sat up.
The eagle lowered his head slightly and sighed softly: "After so many children, I can't sleep." ”
Luo Youcheng realized that he had ignored the eagle's feelings, and of the nineteen people who died, thirteen of them were orphans adopted by the eagle since childhood, and these people all called the eagle Dad before they arrived at the academy. It's just that this tower-like middle-aged man has never revealed his emotions. Except when doing things, he is basically invisible.
"Uncle Ying, I'll sit with you." This was the first time Luo Youcheng called the eagle Uncle Eagle, and he stood up and walked to the side by the shoulders of the eagle.
"Sir......" the eagle was a little uneasy.
"Just call me successful. It's all a family, so there's no need to see each other so much. Luo Youcheng and the eagle walked more than ten meters and sat down on the ridge. In the paddy field behind him, the rice seedlings are already one foot high, and business is booming. From time to time, there is the sound of fish cutting through the water, and occasionally there are a few drums of early frogs.
Luo Youcheng took out a few pockets for a while, and took out a pack of cigarettes, the cigarettes were not opened, but the cigarette case was wrinkled. Luo Youcheng hesitated, but still handed the cigarette to the eagle.
"Uncle Eagle, mourn."
The eagle held the cigarette for two seconds, and with a bleak smile, he tore off the wrapping film of the cigarette case, took one and lit it, and the blue smoke lingered in his mouth and nose.
"They weren't the first kids I sent away, and they won't be the last." The eagle put the cigarette in his mouth and smacked it, and the cigarette came out one after another, almost covering his face, and he squinted and added, "Get used to it." ”
A "get used to" is like a drum hammer. In the last days, human life is like grass mustard, and everything in the world is a lackey. I don't know how many places in the world are screaming pathos and helplessness at the same time. Tony and Guangxu see themselves as the saviors of this troubled world, but Luo Youcheng knows that he is still 108,000 miles away from that position. At this moment, in addition to "getting used to", what can I do about the unequal world and the unjust things?
The two didn't speak again, the eagle smoked one cigarette after another in silence, and Luo Youcheng took one from him, didn't light it, and only played with it in his hand.
After sitting in silence for two hours, the cigarette case was empty, and the eagle said in a hoarse voice that was smoky...... Youcheng, it's cold, let's go back. ”
Luo Youcheng got up and moved his numb legs, "Uncle Ying, leave a few people behind, let everyone else go back to sleep, just do your best." Tomorrow will arrange cremation and burial, the revenge has been avenged, and the brothers and sisters can go with peace of mind. ”
Under the urging of Eagle, Hu Yongsheng and Shang Shiyin, the people of the academy slowly got up and walked towards the dormitory. Luo Youcheng picked up Liu Ying and held up the phoenix with his mind. He looked at the witch beside the coffin with the long arm, thought for a moment, and didn't touch her. Sent Liu Ying and Phoenix back to the room and covered them with quilts. Luo Youcheng is in Liu Ying's forehead
With a slight peck on her head, Phoenix opened her worried eyes, she rubbed her hand and said in confusion: "Sir, I'll go back to my room." ”
This girl belongs to the AWACS. Luo Youcheng put his index finger to his lips, made a silent gesture, and quietly exited the room.
missed the sleep spot, Luo Youcheng lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and even Tony's name didn't work.
"Then don't sleep," said Tony, "and this is the time of year, when people are dreaming, go and see Aisha." You're right, her happiness shouldn't just depend on the memories of Long Arms, but on making her feel kindness from other people. I'm going to sort through the fragments of her dreams and see if there's any other joy to be added. ”
……
Early the next morning, the people of the academy gathered in the cemetery dressed in plain or black clothes. There are sixteen more tombs in the cemetery, and eleven more names are on the hero tablet, except for nine guards, and the ranch cadets have long arms and rope stalks.
After the funeral, Luo Youcheng called all the orphans adopted by the eagle over, so that they would still call the eagle "Dad" in the future. When a group of young people surrounded the eagle and shouted Dad, this tall man who was not good at speaking shed two lines of tears.
Druid witches, as the only family members of the victims, are in the spotlight. However, the witch always had a shallow smile on her face during the funeral. Only in the face of the eagle did he restrain his unnatural smile and reveal his true feelings.
The witch's performance frightened many people, and even the group of people who were gathered by the eagle had a strange feeling about witches. There is a lot of talk about witches being cold-blooded, and only a few people think she is mentally traumatized.
Luo Youcheng was surrounded by two women with excellent ear power, Mi Susu and Mi Doudou, and the two relayed the discussions they heard to Luo Youcheng. This made Luo Youcheng startled, he did everything possible to make the witch feel the kindness from the surroundings, but now he was full of malice.
Luo Youcheng hurriedly pulled Aunt Xu and Queen Half Minutes out of the crowd, but he knew how powerful these two "self-media" were. Especially the old aunt, in the battle of solidarity with Ligege, won a big victory and attracted countless fans.
Luo Youcheng told them: "Aisha has severe PTSD, which is post-traumatic stress disorder. The more care she receives, the easier it is to recover, and the worse her condition will be, eventually leading to self-harm and even suicide. ”
The faces of the two women changed greatly, Aunt Xu swallowed her saliva, and asked carefully, "P what?" ”
"PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder."
Aunt Xu turned her head to the half-minute queen and said, "You have a high level of culture, hurry up and write it down." ”
"Don't worry, sir." Aunt Xu slapped her shriveled chest loudly, "I know what to do." ”
Luo Youcheng also told her that if the witch had no intention of communicating, then don't say much, just express enough kindness.
Under the "self-media" offensive of Aunt Xu and Queen Half Minute, the wind direction in the academy quickly changed. Aunt Xu may have a talent for storytelling, and she additionally performed a witch's revenge for her husband, which has a nose and eyes. The ordinary people in the academy couldn't tell the truth from the fake, after all, the higher-ups were very secretive about the revenge war, and they only knew that a large amount of supplies had been seized.
The people in the academy all conveyed kindness to the witch in different ways. After nightfall, Luo Youcheng asked her to stay in the main house temporarily and receive Tony's dream therapy. The witch, who had never received so much love, had a smile on her face even more. The risk of blackening is temporarily lifted, but Tony can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
