Chapter 376: Actor Dad 42 (Finale)
Lu Tianshi couldn't help but smile bitterly, although the demon god has the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, but what is his split soul? At best, it's a puppet with temporary autonomy.
The demon god was trapped in the body of the previous world, and the trace of divine consciousness that escaped happened to find this world and possessed his body.
Originally, the carrier chosen by the split soul in this world was Duan Nian's body, but Duan Nian was in a state of grief because of the death of his mother at that time, and squeezed this piece of split soul out of his body.
Now that the body belonging to Lu Tianshi has been destroyed, the split soul can only return to Duan Nian's body again, but fortunately, Duan Nian is fighting wholeheartedly at the moment, and he is defenseless against him at all, so he was easily rushed into his body.
When Duan Nian sensed that something was wrong, Lu Tianshi's soul had already entered his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
In normal times, he would definitely do whatever it took to fight him to the death, but at the moment he was on the battlefield, if he was a little distracted, there would be only one way to die.
"Bastard! Do you want to kill me, kill Qianhong? Duan Nian found that he could communicate with him with his mind, and opened his mouth to scold.
"I don't want to kill Qianhong, and you don't want to, do you? So agree to my condition that the two of us will be in charge of this body together, otherwise, we will only die together. Lu Tianshi smiled.
He didn't have time to explain to Duan Nian about the Demon God's Soul Splitting now, he could only play a scoundrel, he could see that Duan Nian was obsessed with Nan Qianhong like him, but Duan Nian didn't fully understand how important Nan Qianhong was in his heart.
Duan Nian has grown step by step from an ordinary teenager to a leading international arms dealer, experiencing countless unforeseen risks during the process, but there has never been such a panic as at this moment.
His body is about to face the danger of being manipulated by others, which is equivalent to killing him, but this person lost his body in order to block the danger for Qianhong, and he really couldn't kill for a while.
"Okay, as long as you promise to fight side by side with me and protect Qianhong through this life-and-death crisis, I will agree that you will use this body with me for the time being." It only took Duan Nian less than half a minute to make a decision, after all, there was no time to hesitate now.
Lu Qianshi nodded with a little appreciation, it was worthy of being the body chosen by the soul at first sight, and the owner of this body was indeed a character.
In just three minutes, Nan Qianhong didn't know that great changes had taken place around her, and at this moment, her whole person was shrouded in great pain and grief.
Although she came here for her younger brother and all the humans in this world at the beginning, she really saw her childhood partner die in front of her eyes, and she had a more intuitive and bitter hatred for this new human organization.
The drastic change in her mood caused her to mobilize her spiritual power that she had not been able to use for a long time in an instant, and she was limited by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, although she could not use SSSS-level spiritual power, she also reached S-level in an instant.
After Lu Tianshi and Duan Nian watched the smoke disperse, the bodies of the remaining dozen or so outlaws in the entire room suddenly hung in the air, and then struggled desperately in the air, but their sternums began to collapse inward little by little, and then turned into a cloud of blood mist and scattered in all directions.
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and at the same time, Nan Qianhong squirted a few mouthfuls of blood because of the forcible mobilization of mental power, and her body fell softly.
"Qianhong!" Duan Nian's left and right hands stretched out at the same time, catching her before she fell to the ground.
"Did she use any special ability?" Duan Nian said in panic.
"She used spiritual power, which is a superpower that is not tolerated by this world, so she has been counterattacked by the Heavenly Dao." Lu Tianshi's heart ached greatly.
If he had woken up earlier, Sister Qianhong would not have been injured, and since the age of twelve, he had vowed to become stronger so that she could protect her in the future when she was in danger, but she was still injured.
But he couldn't help but secretly rejoice at the thought that she had burst out with such great power because of her own death, even though she had not yet fallen in love with him, but she still occupied a very important place in her heart, and that was enough for him.
Destroying this underground den and successfully obtaining the antidote enough for three thousand people, Ning Yuanfang's special combat team completed this mission beautifully, but Nan Qianhong kept falling into a coma, which made the entire team unhappy.
Nan's heart is simply a roller coaster, first his son is saved, and then he is told that his daughter has fallen into a coma and is up to the date of awakening.
Even if Ning Yuanfang had already mobilized the most authoritative experts in China in the name of the special combat team to come for consultation, the results obtained were not optimistic.
According to the results of the experts' consultation, the nerves in her brain are so damaged that recovery may be far away, and she may fall into a coma forever, unless a special event stimulates her brain.
To put it bluntly, she has become a vegetative person.
Nanfang shook her shoulders and looked at her unresponsive daughter in front of her, and couldn't help but cry bitterly.
Infected by his sadness, Nam Qianju and Song Yeon-yeon also cried.
When Lu Guangxi saw his son's corpse, he was already crying without an image, although it was purposeful to adopt Lu Tianshi at the beginning, but in the past thirteen years, even if he is a responsibly gentleman, he has already treated this son as his own.
Duan Nian and Lu Tingshi also wanted to cry when they stood aside, but they both knew that crying now was the most meaningless thing, and Lu Tingshi didn't even dare to go over to comfort his father, so as not to frighten him.
"Let's go!" In their senses, the two exchanged glances and turned to leave together.
Now Lu Tianshi will not take the initiative to snatch control of the body, he will only remind him on the side, unless he encounters a situation where Duan Nian has no time to react, he will directly seize the control of the body, so as not to injure this body again.
Ning Yuanfang also silently followed Duan Nian out of the hospital, and as soon as he arrived at a convenient place to speak, he immediately reached out and grabbed Duan Nian's collar.
"You tell me honestly, how did Lu Tianshi die? How did Qianhong get hurt? It was just the three of you who stormed into that room, don't tell me you don't know the details! Ning Yuanfang said viciously.
Although he has always treated Lu Tianshi as a rival in love, he is his vice captain after all, and he has always performed very well at work, and he has known him for seven years, and he can't accept his death at all.
"The truth is like I said, he rushed to the front, and as soon as he entered, he was hit by an armor-piercing bullet, and Qianhong followed, bursting out with superpowers, killing everyone in the room, and then she fainted." Duan Nian said calmly.
"I have reason to suspect that you are an undercover agent sent to us by the New Human Organization." Ning Yuan said.
"It's your freedom to be suspicious, but to charge, come up with concrete evidence." Duan Nian said coldly.
"You'd better pray that I won't find any evidence in my life, or I'll make you regret being born into this world!" Ning Yuanfang said viciously.
"You feel free." Duan Nian put down these three words, turned his head and left, this time Ning Yuan did not chase him.
"Are we going to marry and do what we have to do?" Duan Nian said to Lu Tianshi.
"What do you mean by what you should do?" Lu Tianshidao.
"Of course, it's to destroy the base of the New Humanity Organization and kill their leader." Duan Nian smiled.
"Do you have a clue? Even if there were, if we broke through single-handedly, wouldn't we give them heads? Lu Tianshi said.
"If I tell you that I have developed a special weapon that can die with them, will you dare to accompany me on an adventure?"
"Why are you doing this? Isn't what you, an arms dealer, seek to maximize profits? Don't tell me that you were reborn overnight and became a righteous man? Lu Tingshi scoffed.
"I just can't get used to seeing you in my body, since the body doesn't belong to me anymore, I might as well use it to do something meaningful.
That day at the amusement park I was thinking, if my mom was still alive, would she be proud of me now? The answer is no. The fastest update in the reading room on the computer:/
Since I was a child, my mother taught me to be honest, even if I can't make a big contribution to society, I must never be a bad person.
Qianhong had no hesitation when she rushed in that day, she was only seventeen years old, she had super talent, and her future should have been infinitely brilliant, but she rushed in without hesitation.
I know that she is not only for her brother, but even your death only stimulates her emotions more deeply, and at that moment she is actually willing to give everything for all mankind, including her life.
She kept calling me uncle, although I wanted her to call me brother, yes, I understand now that I actually wanted to be her love brother.
But I know I'm not worthy, I'm just a dirty arms dealer, and many nations are fighting each other with the weapons I sold them, and they kill each other with the weapons I invented, and I profit from them.
So when Qianhong was alive, I didn't have the courage to admit my true identity to her in person.
Now that she's in a vegetative state, I feel like I have to do something for her, or I'll never have the face to face her for the rest of my life.
Since my mom died, there was no one in this world to worry about, but now I have a girl worth thinking about, even if she is still young, even if she will not care about me at all when she is sober, but I want to do something for her. "The reading room is updated the fastest Mobile:://
Duan Nian's words were like morning bells and dusk drums, beating Lu Tianshi's heart.
He is a split soul, even if he completes the task assigned to him by the subject and destroys the world with his own hands, the fate that awaits him after that can only be devoured by the subject, and what remains in the subject can only be a memory that is not valued by the subject.
Now a wisp of divine consciousness separated by the main body is in his soul, if it weren't for the fact that this wisp of divine consciousness is too weak, he can't even give birth to the slightest dissent, and can only obediently carry out the instructions of the main body.
He doesn't want to be like this, he is Lu Tianshi, the country boy who got rid of poverty and ignorance because of Qianhong, and the infatuated boy who is willing to die to protect Qianhong.
"Okay, let's go." Lu Tianshi nodded, and at the same time, the wisp of divine consciousness of the main body tried to sanction him with the master-servant contract, but he forcibly resisted.
"Poof!" Duan Nian only felt a tingling pain in his brain, and couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"What are you doing? Want to kill me? He said indignantly.
"I'm sorry, my borrowing behavior has also been countered by the Heavenly Dao, and I really didn't mean to hurt your body." Lu Tianshi said apologetically.
Duan Nian was speechless, so he could only continue his plan, return to his residence, and begin assembling his new weapon.
This is a new type of photon cannon, he encountered some difficulties in the process of research and development, but that day at Fan Wenjie's birthday banquet, after communicating with Nan Qianhong, he was inspired to find out the reason for his failure.
After that, he notified his subordinates outside the country to disassemble his failed works and send them by air express, because they were disassembled into a pile of parts, and the courier company couldn't see it at all, and only thought it was parts on ordinary machines.
Lu Tianshi silently watched him assemble the weapon on the side, and had to admit that his skills were skillful, his work was focused and serious, and his expression was exactly the same as Qianhong's expression when he assembled the weapon, so it was no wonder that Qianhong would be familiar with him at first sight.
The two of them are real confidants, it has nothing to do with age, or even about gender differences, if Qianhong is a boy, Duan Nian will also be willing to die for her, this is the so-called death of a confidant.
At this moment, Lu Tianshi suddenly made up his mind, he would destroy this wisp of the subject's divine consciousness at all costs, as long as this wisp of escaped divine consciousness was extinguished, the main body would no longer have a chance to control him.
From the memory carried in this wisp of divine consciousness, he knew that the main body was actually sealed by Qianhong in the previous world, as long as this wisp of divine consciousness was extinguished, the remaining souls in other worlds from the future will no longer have a chance to awaken, then it means that Qianhong's task is completely completed.
"Qianhong, ending this never-ending task for you is probably the meaning of my existence. It turns out that no matter which body I choose, the purpose of my life is for you.
If this is fate, then I willingly accept it, and when the world is back on track, maybe you can leave, right? I just don't know, after you return to the upper realm, will you still remember a split soul named Lu Tianshi?
No, you should hate me, right? Because my main body has endangered your relatives and friends several times, threatening your life.
That's it, you still forgot about Lu Qianshi. ”
Duan Nian, who was assembling the weapon, suddenly had a few tears in his eyes, and the tears smashed on his weapon, splashing a small splash.
"What are you doing? A big man, before he went to the battlefield to fight hard, he had already started crying? Duan Nian didn't have a good airway.
"If she wakes up, don't tell her I've been in your body." Lu Tianshi said with sadness.
"What do you mean?" Duan Nian said confusedly.
"It's not interesting, now that the weapon has been assembled, let's go." Lu Tianshi said in a brisk tone, as if the previous tears and sadness were Duan Nian's illusions.
The headquarters of the New Humans Organization is located in the northwest border beneath the bed of the Peacock River, where an ancient city was buried underground by crustal movements, and the second-in-command of the New Humans Organization was once an archaeologist who accidentally discovered this place, and then the headquarters was built by the first leader.
Their first stop was Nanfeng City in the southwest, so no one would suspect that their headquarters was in the northwest, and Duan Nian also overheard this information by placing an egg-type nano eavesdropping device on him when he was talking about arms business alone with a lone wolf that day.
Duan Nian's eavesdropper anti-detection methods are superb, let alone a lone wolf, even Ning Yuan's special combat team members may not be able to detect it.
It's a pity that the lone wolf has died with his subordinates under the squeeze of Nan Qianhong's spiritual power, and he can no longer extract more useful information from his mouth.
However, for Duan Nian, knowing the location of this headquarters is enough, as long as their headquarters is destroyed, the follow-up encirclement and suppression work of this organization will become easy, after all, those little shrimps are waiting for the instructions of the headquarters, and if they lose their heads, they will become a plate of scattered sand, and they will be self-defeating.
Duan Nian drove an off-road jeep through a long desert area and finally arrived at the Peacock River.
The Peacock River sounds like a beautiful name, but there is no water flowing through it anymore, only the dry riverbed, and the occasional herdsman passing by is just picking up some withered poplar trunks to use as firewood.
Since the herdsmen rode on motorcycles, few people came here to collect firewood, so as soon as Duan Nian's jeep arrived, it attracted the attention of underground surveillance personnel.
"Report to Leader One, an off-road jeep has broken into our area." The monitoring personnel are very serious and responsible for reporting.
"Don't be nervous, maybe it's just a passing tourist, just observe it first." Leader No. 1 said lightly.
The monitoring personnel couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, feeling that they were actually making a fuss, but this can't be blamed on him, it's really that the incident in Nanfeng City was too fierce during this time, and of course he was a bit of a soldier.
Duan Nian got out of the car, took out a backpack and put it on his back, showed a single-lens reflex, and began to photograph the scenery here, in fact, he really looked at the landscape here through the camera lens, in order to find the entrance and possible escape points.
Of course, he did it very skillfully, after shooting the long shot, he lay on the ground to shoot the sunrise on the desert, and while shooting, he also chattered: "It's spectacular!" If this is posted in the circle of friends, it will definitely be a fire! ”
When the monitoring personnel heard his words, they immediately relaxed their vigilance, and it turned out to be a travel enthusiast, which made him nervous in vain.
Next, the monitor simply leaned back on the soft chair and began to close his eyes and nap, so much so that he missed the scene of Duan Nian entering.
The entrance was at the root of a cluster of desert cacti, and in Duan Nian's eyes, he just felt that the leaves of this cactus were a little too thick, and there were no other abnormalities, but Lu Tianshi had just awakened and had divine power to support him, so he naturally noticed that there were traces of formation around this cactus.
Then after a little observation, I found the entrance, which was automatically revealed by simply picking open a clump of plastic camel thorns next to the cactus and pulling a large white stone at its root.
When he walked into the entrance, Duan Nian couldn't help but give Lu Tianshi a thumbs up in his heart, if it wasn't for his knowledge, even if he searched for a lifetime, he might not be able to find this entrance.
In fact, the reason why the monitoring personnel dare to doze off is also because this entrance is very secret, except for their insiders, ordinary people can't find it at all.
And the alarm set on the monitor will only be activated for forcibly destroying the formation, and pulling the mechanism in a regular manner like Duan Nian is considered to be normal entry and exit, and the alarm will not sound at all.
Duan Nian's skills were not bad in the first place, and with Lu Tianshi's divine power perception along the way, he easily dodged the underground patrols, and then touched the central location of the headquarters.
At this point, Duan Nian no longer hesitated, and directly activated his newly assembled super photon cannon, and fired at the tempered door in the central part, this door uses iris security control, and there is no possibility of cracking it at all.
Leader No. 1 heard the sound of "tick-tock" water outside, and when he turned around and walked out of the room to check, he saw that the super protective tempered door he was proud of was melting, and the fiery red molten steel dripped onto the ground, instantly burning the ground into potholes.
"Someone!" He shouted as he reached for the alarm on the wall, but the next second, he was surprised to see that his arm was melting.
The pain was transmitted after it had melted, and before his screams could be uttered, his entire body had melted.
In the face of super-technological weapons, the human body is fragile and vulnerable.
There weren't many people in the hub who were allowed to enter, and most of them were civilians, and almost all of them melted down in a second.
But there are always accidents, before a civilian person pushes the door, a document printed in hand has just finished printing, he turns his head back to pack the document, and in the process of binding the document, he faintly hears a scream.
He has always been cautious, and he sounded the siren easily, and when Duan Nian discovered this bug and broke in to solve it, the peripheral personnel had already surrounded the central part.
"It's over, we're going to die this time!" Duan Nian couldn't help but say to Lu Qian when he saw more than a hundred people rushing over with guns in the monitor of this staff's room.
"It's a pity that I can't see Qianhong again." Lu Tianshi said, he was about to mobilize all the remaining divine power, and he did not hesitate to endure the Heavenly Dao backlash when he heard the crackling sound of gunfire.
Duan Nian and Lu Tianshi exchanged a look, and they didn't know why, but soon, they saw several familiar figures from the monitor.
It turned out that the special combat team had arrived, led by Ning Yuanfang.
Duan Nian couldn't help but smile bitterly, Ning Yuanfang had always been suspicious of him, so he would naturally send someone to follow him, but he really didn't expect that someone would follow him, and the special combat team members were superb in tracking him, so they followed him here.
Lu Tianshi didn't dare to waste his divine power at will, so naturally he didn't find out.
"What are you waiting for? Fuck it! Lu Tianshi said with a smile.
Duan Nian rushed out of the door with a laser cannon in his hand, picking up a shot from those peeking special combat team members, the bullets of the laser cannon were taken from molecules in the air, and they were broken down into photons through a special decomposition device, and then compressed into photon shells, which were similar in size to ordinary bullets when they were fired, but the power was very terrifying.
The members of the New Humanity Organization watched their companions' bodies melt away, and before they even had time to scream, they became a pinch of black ash floating in the air, some crouched to the side and vomited, while others knelt down on the spot and raised their hands in surrender.
There were more than 200 people in the headquarters, and the weapons and equipment were originally very sophisticated, but they were shocked by the more than 20 people of the special combat team, coupled with the shock of Duan Nian's photon cannon, except for the more than 50 people who died, the remaining more than 160 people actually surrendered on their own initiative.
Of course, they didn't all surrender because of cowardice, first of all, the No. 1 leader died, and secondly, this dungeon was also exposed, and soon a large army would come to encircle and suppress it, can more than 100 of them defy the sky?
Originally, the leader had always relied on that special world-destroying toxin, but now that they hadn't taken the antidote, no one dared to use it.
The battle took just over 20 minutes, and the more than 20 special operators were only seriously wounded and eight lightly wounded, and then they rushed out of the dungeon with more than 100 prisoners.
When they reached the ground, the local garrison troops had already received a notice from Ning Yuanfang and rushed over, and those prisoners who surrendered felt that their surrender was very wise at this time, otherwise there would be only one way left to be killed.
What if they could kill all the special operators? After all, no one wants to die, and there is hope for staying alive even if you stay in prison.
Duan Nian had a special sense of accomplishment at this time, and a group of special combat team members surrounded him, simply treating him as a national hero, and he only felt that his steps were a little floating when he walked in the middle.
As he walked, he suddenly began to spurt blood, and he landed on the sand in front of him.
"Fog grass! Lu Tianshi, you are a dog, it's just too bad! Duan Nian scolded viciously before losing consciousness.
Nan Qianhong woke up, she knew that it was time to leave again, and this time she left, there would be no new world for her to save.
She first took a look at Duan Nian, who had been declared a vegetative person, and secretly injected some of her divine power into his body, and then saw a remnant soul overflowing from his body, directly submerging into the purple flame stone necklace she was wearing around her neck.
Although it was only a brief glimpse, she also saw clearly that it was the phantom of Lu Tianshi.
"Brother Tianshi, have you awakened?" She panicked.
"Don't worry, even if I turn to ashes, I will never be your enemy for the rest of my life." Lu Qingshi's voice came from the purple rose bud of the chain pendant.
In order to destroy the wisp of divine consciousness of the main body, his soul had been seriously injured to the point that it was about to dissipate, but he suddenly found a soul-locking artifact, which was hanging around Nan Qianhong's neck.
He felt that this was simply a gift from fate to him, so that he could always be by her side from now on, even if it was a weak soul, he felt extremely happy.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely rebuild your body for you." Nan Qianhong said with a firm face.
Lu Tianshi: Please don't reshape my body, can you?
Subsequently, Nan Qianhong went to see the south again, the south of this world has never awakened, but he is also a good father who loves his daughter.
Nan Qianhong hugged him vigorously and buried her head in his chest.
"The good daughter is awake, Dad's heart can finally be put down, you don't know how worried I am these days, when I go back, we will quit the special combat team, I don't want to bear the next time." Nanfang stroked the top of her hair.
"Dad, don't worry, there won't be a next time." Nan Qianhong was unusually obedient.
"My daughter has really grown up and is sensible, okay, let's do research obediently in the future, I don't like to do research, and my father will take you sisters and brothers to travel around the world.
I heard that a spacecraft that can break through the limits of the atmosphere has been developed recently, and we can go on interstellar travel when the time comes, hahaha! The South laughed.
Nan Qianzhong and Song Yanyan also smiled very happily, and Nan Qianhong took the opportunity to take a picture of the smile of the family of three with her mobile phone.
Bidding farewell to the southern family of three, Nan Qianhong came to Ning Yuanfang's bachelor apartment, Ning Yuanfang in this life did not awaken, and the villain Lu Tianshi, who was originally destined to be his enemy, resisted this battle for him, for which he not only lost his body, but also suffered serious damage to his soul.
The current Lu Tianshi is a weak split soul, and he can only parasitize in Nan Qianhong's purple flame stone necklace, which is also a token of love given to her by Lieutenant General Edmund, the split soul of Hengtian in the previous world, but she didn't expect it to have the function of locking the soul.
Nan Qianhong remembered Lieutenant General Edmund's fiery kiss, and then touched the purple flame stone necklace around her neck, and suddenly felt that everything in the world seemed to be unable to escape a cause and effect.
Lu Tianshi fought a fierce battle for Ning Yuanfang, and in turn, the purple flame stone necklace given by Lieutenant General Edmund saved his dissipating soul from another piece of soul separation.
"Qianhong, you just woke up, why don't you have a good rest?" Ning Yuanfang put on a genuine appearance that the leader cared about his subordinates.
"Suddenly, I want to come and see my brother from afar, what, aren't you welcome?" Nan Qianhong smiled playfully.
"You girl, the door here from afar will always be open for you, I'm afraid you won't come." Ning Yuan looked at her and smiled dotingly.
This night, Nan Qianhong stayed with him until three o'clock in the morning before leaving, Ning Yuanfang wanted to confess to her several times, but in the end he was afraid of scaring her, so he held back.
In the end, he urged her to go back to rest quickly, otherwise her body would not be able to bear it.
At five o'clock in the morning, Nan Qianhong received a message from Tiandao, urging her to go to an abandoned factory in the suburbs, where a teleportation array had been prepared for her.
This time, Heavenly Dao made a move, and everyone's memories of Lu Tianshi and Nan Qianhong were erased at the same time, and the teleportation array was also exceptionally comfortable, Nan Qianhong arrived at her destination without feeling a trace of dizziness.
Duan Nian woke up in the morning and moved his arms and legs, feeling comfortable everywhere, as if this body was not his own before, he didn't understand why he felt this way, it was really strange!
Then he saw a pile of parts, which he had sent from abroad, and he suddenly thought of the reason for the failure of this weapon.
Huh? How did he come up with it? He felt as if he was a little confused, and he still had a feeling of empty chatter.
Perhaps, it's time for him to do some charity to comfort his mother's soul in heaven? Well, that's it!
After the three members of the Nanfang family woke up, Nan Qianzhong walked around the courtyard a few times, as if he was looking for someone, Nanfang and Song Yanyan exchanged glances, and suddenly felt as if they had lost an important person.
All morning, the family of three was wilted and had no energy, but after the afternoon, Nan Chiju began to run around the garden again, looking at the cute appearance of his son's chubby little figure running around, the couple's mood improved again.
Ning Yuanfang has maintained low air pressure for a whole week, and the special combat team members are all very panicked, is the captain unhappy for Mao? They obviously took down a large anti-social organization in one fell swoop and prevented the largest outbreak of danger in human history, and the higher-ups decided to give them a collective first-class credit.
Ning Yuanfang just felt distressed, as for why he was distressed, he couldn't tell, in short, every day when he returned to his apartment, he couldn't help but sniff hard, as if he wanted to smell a certain fragrance, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't smell the smell he expected.
This feeling lasted for many years before it slowly faded.
