Ten days later, a small funeral was held at the Third Cemetery in Lingshan City.

The third cemetery and the martyrs' cemetery are far away, but they are located in the shade of Lingshan, and the scale is not large.

Today is not the winter solstice, Qingming, and before the time to go to the grave, there is silence in the cemetery, only the sound of rustling drizzle.

said that it was a funeral, but in fact, a few artillery battles were just put away, Chu Ge simply said a few words, and then buried him directly.

The only thing that is unusual about the ordinary funeral may be the guests who watch the ceremony.

It's not human, it's a rat.

Hundreds of rats wore a thin black veil tied to their left forelimbs, held small, toy-like black umbrellas, made solemn expressions, and watched silently at the box of ashes that could not be distinguished from a human or a dog, and was placed in the tomb by the workers.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

Along with it, there are also the deceased's favorite things during his lifetime.

A dog chew gum that was bitten with potholes.

A crown made of artificial glass "crystal lamp", which is only worn during ceremonies and sacrifices.

There's also a storybook with corners rolled up and about to be crumbled.

The story is a simple and easy-to-understand fairy tale known to women and children, called "The Adventures of Pinocchio".

It tells the story of a puppet who loves to lie and wants to become a human.

Chu Ge's gaze stayed on the cover of the fairy tale book for a long time.

On the tattered cover, Pinocchio, who loves to lie, covers his nose in a panic that is getting longer and longer, and can't hide it.

Even after receiving a large number of fragments of the national teacher's memories, Chu Ge still couldn't imagine what kind of state of mind this old dog was like when he was carrying heavy secrets, missions and ambitions deep underground, flipping through this fairy tale book alone.

None of that matters, though.

The tomb has been closed, poured with cement, and a tombstone has been inserted, on which are simply written four words: Tomb of Guo Shi.

Other than that, not a word.

There are no photos either.

In fact, it could have been posted with a photo, after all, the "corpse" of the national teacher has not been destroyed, and after a bit of it, you can still see a little bit of the majesty before death.

But Chu Ge guessed that he must not like to leave the appearance of a pet dog on his tombstone.

Forget it, looks don't matter, in this world, there are never fewer humans who look uglier than beasts.

Chu Ge thought like this, sighed, and placed the bouquet of flowers that the Lord of the Red Lotus had asked him to pay tribute to under the tombstone of the national teacher, Guo Shi.

The rats watched all this with mixed feelings.

Guo Shi is the spiritual leader of the Long Fang Kingdom, and he was supposed to have a grand funeral in the underground world according to the rules of the rat clan.

However, Chu Ge said that this burial method was Guo Shi's last wish, and they also believed it, after all, Chu Ge had inadvertently revealed some things these days, which had convinced all the rat clans that Chu Ge was Guo Shi's spiritual successor.

Only a very small number of people who know the inside story, such as cat eaters, don't quite understand Chu Ge's intentions.

Is it really necessary to bury Guo Shi, erect a monument, and pass on his name?

After all, Guo Shi is not a friend or foe, from the very beginning he ignited the rat civilization and created the Fang Kingdom, but he had bad intentions, regarded the rat clan as a tool, and was even doomed to die cannon fodder.

Even at the last moment, he never repented, even if it objectively alleviated the damage caused by the Celestial Organization to Lingshan City, this was not his original intention.

Even, he schemed a series of tricks, and even thought of playing the trick of "praying mantis catches cicadas, and yellow finches are behind", trying to devour Chu Ge's soul and seize Chu Ge's body after Chu Ge and Dr. Virus fought to defeat both sides.

Most of the strong people of the Rat Clan don't know about these things, but Chu Ge, who is a first-hand witness, certainly knows the danger best.

Why do you have to erect a monument for the enemy?

After the funeral, looking out over the bustling city from the mountainside, the cat eater finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"Whether it's a person or a dog, if he dies, there will be nothing, whether I help him bury him decently, or dismantle eight pieces, chop them up and feed them to the dog, for Guo Shi, there is no difference."

Chu Ge said, "The funeral thing is not for the dead and dead dogs, but for the living and all the intelligent beings who are alive.

"Yes, of course Guo Shi is an enemy, and he is also quite despicable and shameless, and he is an enemy who does not change, although at the last moment, what he said was very touching, and he did so many things with great effort, and the purpose was also very embarrassing, but this is only because he can't beat me, if he can really shake my soul, you see how arrogant he will be!

"Having said that, the struggle between me and the National Teacher, the struggle between the Earth Alliance and the Celestial Organization, and even one day, the possible struggle between human civilization and the rat civilization are all disputes between intelligent beings after all.

"If it is between two hungry hyenas on the plain, they have to fight for their lives, and after killing each other, they can naturally deal with it in any way - whether it is gnawing on each other's corpses, there is not a single bone residue left, or it is normal to put the other party's corpse in the wilderness and let the vultures peck.

"But the struggle between our intelligent beings should always be a little different from the fight of hyenas, right?

"I don't read much, I can't think of a high-level difference, I can only think of this bit of decency.

"Human civilization is so fragile and small in the face of the rolling tide of aura recovery, although we have infinite blood and courage, yes, but blood and courage are not enough to eat, maybe one day a wave hits, and the human civilization on the earth will be destroyed?

"Rat civilization, monsters, immortal cultivation realm, illusion realm, maybe there are other messy, higher-level existences, who knows whose hands we will die at?

"In case, I mean in case, such a tragic ending does play out, I hope that the guy who destroyed us, for the sake of the dignity of the same intelligent life, will also help us dig a grave, erect a monument, and tell this universe that we earthlings once existed.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, although it doesn't mean that I will help Guo Shi, an old dog, dig a grave and erect a monument, and the super civilization that will destroy the people of the earth will definitely do the same in the future, but if we can't leave the last bit of dignity for the enemy in the first place, what kind of face do we have to make such excessive demands on a strong enemy?

"When the time comes, everyone will be undignified and will become a pack of hungry hyenas, fighting, destroying, ravaging, and trampling at all costs, and this is really not what I want to see in the future, you know?"

"I guess I understand."

The cat eater said, "Don't worry, the rats won't betray humans." ”

"Don't say that this kind of thing is no different from farting, if a civilization will not betray, it is not called civilization."

Chu Ge scratched his head and said, "It's just that whether it's an alliance or a betrayal, it's a long time later, at least temporarily, the problem of the rat clan and the monster is barely solved, right?" ”

The cat eater pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

……

In the next few months, Lingshan City, which had stubbornly persevered from the storm, finally saw a brilliant rainbow.

The rat civilization went out of the underground, and the Lord of the Red Lotus also carried out activities based on Lingshan Port, injecting two powerful boosters into the economic development of Lingshan City.

For a time, a large amount of capital and manpower have been pouring in, hoping to find opportunities to cooperate with the rat clan and monsters, all kinds of new concepts, new projects and new technologies have been developed, Lingshan City has become the most dazzling one of the thirteen special zones, and even the entire East China Sea region has entered a thriving period of stable development, many local enterprises have tasted the sweetness, and they are even more ambitious, putting forward a plan to rush forward - in the most radical plan, many local councilors and business tycoons have proposed, It is hoped that the city of Yeongsan will seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to more than triple the size of the urban area, march into the air and underground, and build a "hive city" that will become a world-class metropolis comparable to Edo Castle and Shin-Kanesan.

This is really the most prosperous era of flowers and cooking oil, Lingshan City.

And releasing this fire, at least to the original little spark, Chu Ge, who had blown a little breath, still lived his low-key, luxurious, and boring little life.

The shocking energy from all over the world is still being transmitted.

This is normal, although Sha Lao helped him hide it, tens of thousands of eyes could see it clearly that day, how could he completely hide it, it was originally a matter of one spread of ten, ten of hundreds, even if the heat of the incident decreased because of the passage of time, but with more and more people in the know, the shock energy transmitted every day could still stuff him screaming.
