Chapter 566: Mourning for the Distance

The stars are shining, the candlelight is lit, and the gentle breeze at night blows the fragrance of the dark night flower garden to all parts of the campus, on the paths, in the corridors, and by the lakeside, the Newton students walk together with candles and white lilies, they are solemn and solemn, and some of them gently hum the requiem that has been passed down to this day.

In the area of the plaza in front of the teacher's office building, Bofield. In front of Newton's full-length statue, the third-graders sat on the floor in the candlelight that surrounded them, some of them bowed their heads in silence, others looked up at the clean starry sky, some of the girls with tears on their faces, supported and snuggled by their peers, and the slight sobs in the wind could be clearly heard in the quiet atmosphere.

Jonny sat next to Roger, the two of them were silent for a long time, and through the spontaneous and peaceful atmosphere of all the teachers and students, they could each other feel the impact of the fire of revenge that took place on another planet and engulfed countless lives.

Zoroaster's damnation, the fall of the Angel's Sword, and the unbelievable terrorist attacks, the Coalition is now mired in a series of catastrophes, with politics withering, hearts and minds, and the country in ruins.

And now that the Great War in the Bald system is only a few months away, will the Walkens return to invade again after giving up their homeland without showing a trace? Will the Blue Mountain women, who have always been unconvinced, take the opportunity to send a fleet from the planet Medis again to attack the human colony in the Scott system? And under the premise that the government of the Silver Alliance is so weak, will the independent consciousness of the colonies of the galaxy that is constantly in strife rise again?

"Skull Party", "Ghost Rider", "Sky Knight", "Homecoming", how will the outlaws who wander in the various galaxies of the Silver Alliance deal with it? Will the boat people's organizations change their original intention of 'not setting foot on the ground', and take advantage of the chaos of the Silver Alliance military and the Security Committee to attack the city and seize the land, and rob them of the civilian goods they have been lacking?

"You seem to be thinking about something very boring all the time." Roger who has been cooperating with the silence. Clark finally spoke, waving his palm in front of Johnny's eyes in order to stop his 'deep' train of thought.

"They won't be allowed to speak out at the memorial party." Jonny, who was pulled back to reality, hurriedly reminded his friends that the school committee had put a lot of effort into this concentrated mourning, decorating the campus, creating an atmosphere, and buying a whole car with candles and flowers alone. Since you are invited to mourn the victims from afar, you naturally have to follow the precautions on the small cards that have been handed out in advance.

"Them?" Roger raised an eyebrow and sneered. "I thought it was all spontaneous, and I never heard that I had to be silent about having to hold a memorial service."

"Then can you talk loudly in the cinema?" Jonny had no choice but to pick one of Roger's most understandable persuasions.

“…… One yard is one yard, how can watching a movie be the same as sitting here? There's no Natalie here. Gid or Pooh. Faces like Macayali keep people focused. Roger was still muttering to himself, but his voice was noticeably more restrained.

"I thought you went to the movies for the content, not the celebrity face." Although Jonny knew that it was not appropriate to talk about such a topic on such an occasion, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Immortals also have vulgar thoughts, JFK, happy and full of life philosophy, and I am just an adolescent child." Roger raised his head grinningly. "I'm still a kid who can't see the sky of the future......," he said, and his words suddenly tinged with sadness.

He barely passed the standard test, but his overall score was terrible, and he no longer had the aura of a saber-toothed tiger star runner at the moment. Under the premise that the major traditional powerhouses of the Odds have been silent about the two of them because of the ban of the competition committee, there is no player status and varsity scholarship. Clark's score is really insulated from any prestigious university.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and the silly mourning ceremony is undoubtedly hypocritical and lame, just lighting a bunch of candles and wasting time stupidly, what effect can it have on the current chaotic situation?" Before he could feel sad for a second, the blonde youth immediately returned to normal.

"Because we are human beings, we have emotions, we need to vent, and this candlelight gathering belongs to this kind of product, to express sorrow, understand? I can't believe that this common sense has to be explained to you. Jonny shook his head, his thumb and forefinger together, and gestured to his friend to close his voice.

"Emotional catharsis? I think it's emotional kidnapping. Roger ignored Jonny's gestures.

"Everyone came voluntarily, and it's strange what you said." Jonny looked at him in disbelief.

"The introduction of 20,000 innocent people, the hat of mourning for them, if they don't come, they must be the stumbling blocks of beasts, they are set up in ambush everywhere on the moral high ground, and who dares not to 'volunteer'?" Roger said, rolling his eyes.

"You can't say that...... You're discrediting the good intentions of the school committee. Jonny couldn't find fault with Roger's words, but he understood that his friend had gone off the rails again. Roger is shrewd and open-minded, but he has a problem of being able to go straight and never detour, his emotional intelligence is worrisome, and he doesn't know how the more than ten girlfriends who have changed frequently in the past three years in high school have made friends.

"Opinion, JFK, opinion." Roger didn't want to tell the difference at this point, but pointed to a chubby figure in front of him, and Jonny followed his guidance and saw Sam in his class. Evans seemed to be dozing off.

"What is needed for goodness is an air of freedom, not moral kidnapping and subservience under coercion, and if an otherwise decent thing is done to make people drowsy, then the quality of this hypocritical show is up for debate." Roger pouted and smiled, he spoke in a loud voice, which made Johnny sitting next to him worry, he checked the direction of the school committee officials not far away, and found that they were leading the students in the most candlelit area to sing the famous "Azarzel Elegy", the melodious singing was melodious, floating in the night sky, and gradually more students present joined in the humming.

O blue sea, we will sing for you.

This amazing creature has been conceived for you.

It's flying, winged whales flying over the smooth, mirror-like sea.

With wings and a body like a cloud, it was the eldest son of the sea, the king of the waters.

And now, in its twilight years, it leaps out of the water, accompanied by the sky, and with the wind, it flutters its wings and soars.

Blue sea, we want to sing for you.

This amazing creature has been conceived for you.

It will fall from the clouds and turn into a majestic rain, like a bright morning star.

From then on, it will disappear into the clouds and the deep sea.

And the new life is constantly multiplying in the arms of the Mother of the Sea.
