The imposing middle-aged man in the middle was looking at Yuan Haochen intently, while the Frankenstein in a white coat on the left hand side nodded to Yuan Haochen with a smile.

Only the young man with long brown hair on the right side shouted at Yuan Haochen with a grinning smile, "Haha...... Chinese otaku, you have indeed arrived at the edge of the universe. ”

"Yes, Durunik, I have flown to the edge of the universe, and I really want to tell you all the stories that have happened over the years......"

Yuan Haochen suddenly bowed to the three of them with a little excitement, and then called out the name of the young man with long brown hair.

He was none other than his colleague from the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) era, Durunik.

Looking at Durunike's obscene appearance, Yuan Haochen's mind came up with one familiar picture after another: gambling in Las Vegas and in distress; went to Mars together, experienced the crisis of hurricanes and dust storms, and also appreciated the magnificence of the Mariner Grand Canyon; the joy of discovering terrestrial planets at the Mount Maunaki Observatory in Hawaii; There are also the hardships that have been experienced together to promote the interstellar migration project......

And what makes him unforgettable in this life is that when Yuan Haochen led the Space City Group to leave the earth, he had an agreement with Durunik: to take everyone's wishes to explore a more vast universe, fly all the way to the edge of the universe, and then tell him the story of what happened all the way to him who was waiting in heaven.

At this time, the middle-aged man standing in the middle lost his original aggressive momentum and said with a smile: "Yuan, I am very proud of you, and now you have done it!" Although our time is long gone, you have turned the page of the grand chapter of the interstellar age! ”

"Hao Chenjun, it's amazing...... Ho Ho Ho Ho ......"

Frankenstein in a white coat still lets out his trademark laugh.

"Commander Frank, Dr. Minchi, thank you for your guidance to me."

Yuan Haochen was grateful and solemnly expressed his gratitude to his former boss and two colleagues who had struggled together.

At this moment, the three people in front of him have no rickety backs, no wrinkles on their faces, no cloudy eyes, no wind and candles, no rough and sallow, everything they see is the best appearance when they first met.

Thinking of this, Yuan Haochen suddenly felt sad in his heart, and a strong loneliness shrouded him silently.

It was precisely because of their most beautiful appearance in front of him that Yuan Haochen knew with certainty that none of this was real, just memories hidden deep in his mind.

Not only them, but Yuan Haochen also thought of Yu Kai, Yu Liang, Yu Feihong, big and small Tesla, Don Quixote, Sergei, Nalandar, Usopp......

Familiar faces, people living in different eras, little by little left in the past in the long river of his life.

Each of them has appeared in Yuan Haochen's life, and has gone through a splendid life together, but in the end, they all end up and disperse, and after all, they can't escape the cycle of life and death, and only turn into one of the many living beings, like dead leaves, gradually withering and drifting away with the wind.

The brief encounter came to an abrupt end, and Frank turned away first, turning his back to Hara and saying a word in a deep tone.

"Hara, wake up."

Dr. Minchi also turned and walked off into the distance, he didn't say anything, just kept laughing and laughing.

"Ho ho ho ho ...... Ho Ho Ho Ho ...... Ho Ho Ho Ho ......"

The last to leave was Durunike, who bent down and grabbed a handful of white sand from the sand beneath his feet, seemingly casually, and whipped it into the wind.

"Goodbye, my friend." There was no longer a lewd smile on Durunike's face, but a faint sadness, "Please save our world, save our universe...... Guarding the resting place of those of us who have long since passed away......"

So Trunik departed until he disappeared at the end of the island, his back submerged into the edge of the Pacific horizon.

……

Yuan Haochen suddenly looked sad, and he couldn't extract himself from these memories and from the voices and smiles of these people for a long time.

He saw and thought of the dead shells at his feet, and although they were gone, they left the beauty to the beach and the world.

And these people who have appeared around them in a hurry, although each of them has a different life journey, some people live an ordinary and calm life, some people live a generous and heroic life, but they all try their best to fulfill their duties in their own life journey, and then realize their greatest value, become a great person to promote the development of human civilization.

"So, what should I do?"

Yuan Haochen asked himself repeatedly in the sea of confusing memories, he didn't know how he was going to wake up, he just wanted to catch a wave of memory again, but found that it was really not easy.

"Where am I now? What should I do? ”

Unconsciously, he turned into an ethereal energy, wandering aimlessly in the endless dark void without any worries.

......

"Wake up, kid."

Suddenly, in the darkness, an old voice called out to Yuan Haochen.

Hearing this voice, Yuan Haochen's spiritual world couldn't help but tremble!

That's, that's my father's voice.

"Wake up, our child."

Another old voice was also calling for Yuan Haochen.

How can Hara forget her mother's loving voice!?

However, it was pitch black all around, and he could not see his mother's gentle face and his father's broad shoulders at all.

At this moment, the energy body intelligence incarnated by Yuan Hao Chen flew aimlessly in all directions.

He wants to wake up, but he doesn't know how!

He wants to break through the darkness, but he can't find an exit!

"Wake up, our child......"

The old voices of the parents sounded again in the darkness, and they also wanted to guide the children to find their way home, but Yuan Haochen was still mired in endless memories and could not be withdrawn.

There are always thousands of memories, like a song that suddenly appears in my heart.

At this time, Yuan Haochen's memories also sounded a ballad from a distant era:

My father once described the vastness of the sky,

Let him never forget at the ends of the earth.

My mother once described the boundlessness of the ocean for me,

Immersed in that blue planet, it is my long-lost homeland.

Now I see the vast sky and the blue ocean again,

Standing on the island of my hometown, I burst into tears,

The sky is muttering the moving stories of the past,

The sea is singing the blessings of our ancestors,

They are blessing the wandering children to find their way home......

Eh~~ Father's sky,

Eh~~ Mother's ocean.

Though I will no longer see you as I am,

But accept my sorrows, my joys,

Me too, I'm a child of the earth.

In my heart, there has always been such a song,

In the song, there is my father's sky and my mother's ocean......

--Adapted from "Father's Prairie, Mother's River"

……

Yuan Haochen was immersed in this ballad for a long time, he thought of the sky of the earth, the ocean of the earth, and the hometown that he could never forget at the ends of the earth and at the end of the universe.
