Chapter 14: Farewell

Is this finally the end?

Mengxian lay in the return warehouse, staring blankly at the ceiling, but in fact, there was nothing on it, not even a single crack in it. This situation is actually very unusual on the current Kuafu, at least Mengxian has never seen such a perfect structure maintained since he was born on the Kuafu.

Probably to divert his attention, Monghyun didn't care about the reason for this matter at all, he just searched carefully with his eyes, trying to find any even the slightest flaw.

Two days ago, the commander-in-chief formally signed a decision to punish him for aiding defection and endangering the safety of the Kwafu project, and was unexpectedly given a "return" punishment.

Two hours ago, the people of the escort team sent Mengxian from the confinement room here, and the escort mission was still led by the captain, and even the two people who accompanied him were the same people who took Mengxian out of his residence last time.

Mengxian wore a special helmet the whole time, and they didn't say a word, I don't know if it was a custom or because of the special requirements for dealing with the returning personnel.

After they fixed Mengxian to the return warehouse, the escorts silently saluted, paused for a few seconds, and left.

Monghyun knew that he didn't have much time left at this time, and the executive staff would soon arrive to carry out the final procedure.

After receiving the punishment decision, Mengxian vented too many emotions and thought about it a lot, and it was only now that he realized that there were very few things he could be nostalgic for in this world, and the students of the same period who had not been in touch for a long time? Colleagues who communicate almost exclusively at work? The departed Yao and Mentor? And also...... Qingyu ......

Qingyu ......

Thinking of this familiar name, Mengxian felt that his heart was violently stirred by a sharp knife a few times, and the kind of sharp pain that came from it was cold made his whole body tremble.

Since birth, Monghyun's mind and body have lived in the same cage, and he has to give his life and freedom for the sake of the earth he has never seen before, and the future of mankind.

can't choose, can't regret it, that's how it is destined for life......

And not only that, Qingyu, Yao, and Mentor also left him at the last moment of their lives......

With a slight beep, the return chamber began to move forward, and Mengxian slowly closed his eyes, waiting for his final moment. At this time, he himself actually had the idea of ending it quickly, and even thought that it was possible that when he closed his eyes and opened them again after a while, Kuafu's plan had been successful, Qingyu was restored by the system and returned to his side, and they also returned to their hometown earth as they wished, where Yao and his mentor warmly received him......

That's it...... And so they spent the rest of their lives......

Fallen leaves come back to the roots, is that the word......

However, it is also possible to slowly move towards the destruction of the galaxy in the dark, and Mengxian felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

"Big brother?"

The moment he heard this voice, Mengxian seemed to have returned to the time when he was in school, and Yao had been calling him since he recovered his senses, and he felt that this voice was the unknown world calling him.

"How so?" It seemed that after a long time, Mengxian was sure that he was not starting to be frozen now, he opened his eyes, and Yao appeared in front of his eyes, this matter was completely beyond the boundaries of his own thoughts, and fantasy and reality seemed to be combined.

"How do you ......"

Mengxian's mind was blank, and at this time he couldn't think or express any thoughts?

"I'm not going to leave here!" Yao's tone was exactly the same as when Mong-hyun had last seen him in his mentor's room.

Was it really you then? Mengxian understood, it turned out that the intelligent program that was received was the one who covered people's ears, and it was Yao who met him that day, and he was just hiding on the Kuafu number.

What about the guru?

This is...... His last wish...... Saying this, Yao obviously choked up, and the words behind seemed to be stuck in his throat, Mengxian was suddenly infected by this atmosphere, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he forcibly resisted it from flowing out, but it didn't work.

Mengxian's body was completely immobilized, unable to wipe away the tears, the tears flowed wantonly down the corners of his eyes, and he coughed hard twice, opening his choked throat.

"Thank you." As soon as this word came out of Mengxian's mouth, Yao looked at him in surprise, he didn't even know what to say, after all, they have rarely been in touch for so many years, except for the recent period, and those mutual names actually feel a little uncomfortable when they think about it now.

"I hurt you, and I know you're going to make that choice in the end...... I'm sorry......" Yao's demeanor at this time, including his tone, has completely changed to the appearance that Mengxian knows.

Is it my delusion? Monghyun was a little suspicious, maybe it was an illusion of satisfying his desires before he fell asleep.

"Don't think so, I'm glad that I can do something for my mentor, and I can also know the truth of some things, although there will be regrets about such a result, but I would rather be like this than live in a beautiful lie." Mengxian stared at the familiar relative and said sincerely, "Also, thank you for coming to see me, you are the dearest person in my world." ”

"No...... It's me who is too selfish......" Yao closed his eyes when he heard this, and two lines of tears slipped down silently.

Yao's appearance solved Mengxian's last confusion and made him feel extremely warm, whether he can wake up or not has become not so important, if the ancient myth is true, he will go to the place where Qingyu exists, and everything in his life will be completed.

"Do you believe in souls?" Yao asked the question again, and since the last time Yao's statement about the evolution of the universe had stopped in the middle of the master's room, the question of the soul had become like a kind of magic that had been deeply attached to his brain.

However, Mengxian's thinking has been influenced by the traditional view of science all his life, and thinking about this question can only produce a short circuit, and then it will turn back to the problem itself.

There is no answer, and there is a definite answer, and these two answers are constantly surrounding the question.

"I ...... Not too convinced. Monghyun changed the answer he had to answer and said what he really thought.

Yao slowly took a deep breath and gently began to repeat the last words, not changing a word.

Mengxian quietly listened to Yao's statement about the universe, at this time Yao was like a dedicated narrator, he was eager to express his thoughts, his brain was stirring violently like the inside of a star, and the light rushed to the surroundings one after another, illuminating a dark universe.

And Mengxian is in this space.

“…… After too much time, the matter in the universe has undergone more peculiar changes, giving rise to individuals with a purpose of existence, which is a kind of evolution of matter, and it is called a living thing. ”

When he said the end of the last time, Mengxian felt that he would not stop this time, and sure enough, Yao continued.

"In the beginning, the creatures were very simple, few in number, and unevenly distributed. They are constantly struggling and changing in matter, but they are too low-level, their power is very weak, and most of them are eliminated by the protagonists of the universe, that is, time, space, and matter. ”

"But the creatures are still persevering, they are like the inevitable development of the universe, constantly producing more tenacious and complex individuals to compete for their place in the universe."

"But no matter how powerful and complex the individual living beings are, time and matter will always find a way to destroy living things, and I wonder if it is because they are not qualified enough to shoulder the mission of cosmic evolution."

In this way, in the battle of evolution, new changes began to occur in living beings, and creatures with "self-knowledge" were born. ”

"These creatures are above all living beings, they are very capable of learning, they not only study themselves to make themselves stronger, but they also study the universe, matter and time so that they can use and fight these behemoths more intelligently,"

"At their core is spirit, something magical, and spirit can dominate individuals made up of the universe, matter, and time."

"And use themselves against them, to expand the spiritual being."

"Spirit is a new member that can be juxtaposed with the universe, space, matter, and time."

"Spirit is the new height of the development of the universe ......"

"The world composed of spirits is the direction in which the universe develops in the process of continuous self-breakthrough."

"The human spirit is the need for the self-development of the universe."

"And what will happen to the next change in the universe after the spiritual world, this time will take too long, and human beings, as a spiritual carrier, are too small in the universe to predict at all."

"Perhaps the spiritual world is an opportunity for the universe to break through itself and the void."

……

Yao's point of view made Mengxian feel that an incomparably huge supernova exploded in front of his eyes, and he was shrouded in it, and the repulsion and destruction that should have been generated turned into suction and containment on himself, quickly pulling himself towards the center of the explosion.

Yao looked at Mengxian, and that kind of look was not at all as faint confused as before, as if expecting an answer, but so shiny, so firm, like stating a fact.

"But human beings are so weak that they can't compare with the universe?" Mengxian said subconsciously.

"There is hope, time is the key, and the weak life forms of human beings, whether in strength or intelligence, are ridiculously weak for the universe. However, as a spiritual form, existence is incomparably unique to the material world. Imagination, resilience, and self-awareness are all there for breakthroughs. The spirit will surely triumph over the material world and become a new part of the entire universe. ”

"And a powerful material carrier will become the basis for the spirit to dominate the universe!"

Mengxian looked at Yao's brighter and brighter eyes, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and a sound sounded in his throat, and the sound spread to the surroundings in the quiet environment, breaking the indescribable silence here.

Mengxian came to his senses, but still nodded as before, signaling that he understood Yao's words. Yao's thoughts have always been so unique, maybe except for the character he shows that Mengxian can understand, everything else is incomprehensible to Mengxian, are geniuses like this?

Yao lowered his head and carefully took out a silver locket from the tool bag on his side, this locket was very delicate, with a peculiar diamond-shaped logo on it, this logo was very familiar, Mengxian seemed to have seen it somewhere, but now it doesn't matter.

Yao carefully took out a transparent vial from the small box, which seemed to contain a translucent liquid, and the liquid was suspended with multicolored particles that constantly changed light and dark. The particles moved slowly, irregularly, with a strange suction that made it difficult for anyone who saw him to take their eyes off it.

Yao's eyes sharpened, he carefully held the bottle of liquid, and with his other hand slowly picked up a cylindrical metal instrument from his pocket, and carefully installed the vial on the top of the instrument.

"Yao? This is ......" Mengxian felt that Yaode's movements and demeanor were very strange, and he couldn't help but ask.

"A chance!" Yao took a deep breath, "I hope none of us regret it!" ”

"What chance?" Monghyun was even more strange, and suddenly it felt like something was wrong.

Why did Yao appear at this time?

Why does it feel like he's changed back to his old self?

What is this weird instrument?

What's in the bottle?

The chances are......

"See you again...... Big Brother ......"

Yao activated the helmet that held Mengxian in place, the blindfold blinded his eyes, and Mengxian felt a cold object against his forehead, and before he could speak again, he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his forehead and the back of his head, like several very long needles piercing the entire skull. The pain was not very severe, but the fear in Mengxian's heart suddenly rose.

It's not at all like letting him freeze and sleep,

Why did Yao harm him?

Mengxian used his last strength to shake his head as hard as he could, trying to get rid of the fixation of the instrument, and once again confirmed that it was his own brother Yao standing next to him.

At this time, Yao ignored Mengxian's fierce struggle, he stared closely at the transparent vial at the top of the instrument, and the liquid in it was slowly injected into Mengxian's brain through the thin hole at the bottom under the action of pressure.

Mengxian felt his whole brain start to tingle, this feeling was strange, the human brain can't feel pain, but this kind of pain that seemed to be there at first gradually became real in his brain.

A thought appeared in Mengxian's heart, human beings were damaged in the brain tissue, and they should die soon, is this the illusion that they are close to death?

Mengxian's consciousness was blank, and the whole body that was originally struggling involuntarily twitched, and the information received and fed back by the nervous system of the whole body quickly came and went to the center of the brain, and the feeling of pain in the brain began to change wonderfully, and the next feeling was like fusing all the human senses together.

As the new sensations continued to increase, the body's self-protection function began to kick in, and Mengxian's consciousness became blurred, and a paralyzing sensation spread from the center of the brain to the entire brain and then to the whole body.

This should be a precursor to death! It's over?

Monghyun's heart was completely calm, and he was ready to accept the arrival of death.

However, this is not the end, but the beginning of another, when the liquid in the vial is injected in half, a complex network of electric current continues to pass from the bottom along the multicolored particles, and quickly spreads to the whole vial, which shines regularly like a bulb with a complex filament structure.

The level of the liquid inside the bottle has also changed from a lower to an upward level, and the liquid at the bottom of the bottle has returned to the bottle without any impurities, and is still the same as when it was injected into the brain, except that as the brightness increases, the subtle current between the particles becomes stronger.

Mengxian "woke up", his mind was still blank, and his consciousness was between being and not being. He began to feel his consciousness gradually stronger, and in addition to feeling his original whole body, consciousness could also go to a "wide" space, where although it was small and empty, but there was a sense of relief, like a baby curled up in its mother's body.

It's a very peculiar feeling, he doesn't have a concept of life and death, he just knows that he exists, he has no purpose, no meaning, he can't think.

His consciousness wandered in two completely different places, the body and the mother's body, and when he returned to his body, his whole body was clear, and he felt his heart beating, making a loud noise, and the blood rushed through the blood vessels, hitting the walls of the blood vessels, and his skin shrank one by one with the beating of the heart.

When he was fascinated by this feeling, a certain point in his brain became clear.

That point produced an excruciating pain that enveloped the whole consciousness......

How so?

When he was about to endure great mental pain, all the sensations disappeared inexplicably, no, it should be said that his consciousness was passively getting rid of this feeling, and retreating in one direction, and a certain place suddenly turned into a black hole as quickly devouring the whole body.

The speed of devouring was so fast that people didn't have any time to think at all, and all of Mengxian's feelings and consciousness were squeezed together from his whole body in a short time, and when his consciousness was about to shrink to a point, a voice from another world came in......

"Qingyu...... Still ......"
