Chapter 50: The Sound of the Styx
Bai Qi walked through the dense forest of the campus, along a stone path, and after ten minutes he came to the gate of the campus and saw the black stone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The black stone stood at the entrance of the campus, like an old man who had fallen asleep after the vicissitudes of life, silent but seemed to have endless legends and stories.
Bai Qi walked under the black stone, the campus was silent at this time, the students had already fallen asleep, and there was only Bai Qi alone in the spacious square at the entrance of the entire campus.
Bai Qi stood there, his eyes were black, his pupils were contracting, and when he looked at the other side, he could almost clearly see that in the black of Bai Qi's eyeballs, one day the vast galaxy was rolling.
Bai Qi didn't know what was in his eyes, and his spirit seemed to be controlled by something, he just stared at the black stone, and there was a crackling sound in his head, as if something was shattering.
He was a little dazed, and his eyes became darker and darker, and finally darkness replaced everything, and the endless darkness spread out before his eyes, and he couldn't see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand.
What is this place! After a loud cracking sound, Bai Qi seemed to have traveled through hundreds of millions of years of time and space in an instant, and the boundless darkness slowly dispersed, revealing an empty and vast star field.
The star field is vast and empty, but you can see the surroundings clearly, in this star field, there are no stars, let alone any objects that can emit light, but this star field is very bright, and the white eyes look forward, you can see far, far away.
A far, far away place is a far, far away place, with nothing, a void. Bai Qi looked at this far, far away void, as if he sensed that someone was calling, and then he saw a crack appear in the void.
The rift grew rapidly in the void, tearing it apart, as if someone had cut a big, big hole in the void with a knife.
The void was torn open, revealing a sea of twinkling stars.
The sea of stars is magnificent, countless stars are like water droplets, densely gathered together, flowing in the starry sky, looking from afar, like a big river rushing in the sea of stars, flowing endlessly in the universe.
Could this be the Styx Star Sea! Bai Qi looked at this sea of stars and thought to himself. At this time, Bai Qi has completely fallen into this illusion and forgotten the existence of reality. He just looked at the galaxy and felt a majestic force rushing from the galaxy, as if it was about to swallow him.
This is an indescribable force, majestic and strong, Bai Qi felt this power rushing to his face, surrounding his body, slowly flowing around his body, making inexplicable sounds from time to time.
The sound seemed to be someone whispering, and it seemed that someone was telling something, and it echoed in Bai Qi's ears, making Bai Qi feel a sense of peace and calm, and slowly he felt a little sleepy.
When sleepiness hit, Bai Qi wanted to stay awake, but he didn't do it, and he quickly fell asleep.
The sleeping Bai Qi floated in the starry sky, and a faint layer of light waves could be clearly seen around his body, which wrapped Bai Qi around it to form a speed of light, carrying his body to the depths of the galaxy.
Bai Qi's body floated towards the depths of the galaxy, the speed became faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a strong light, and the strong light shot in the void, because the speed exceeded the limit, the speed of light produced a powerful impact, and the powerful impact of the speed of light hit the void, and it seemed to collide with the invisible energy in the void, resulting in a violent explosion.
The violent explosion made the surrounding starry sky shake, and a dazzling light instantly expanded from the origin of the explosion, forming a bottomless black vortex, and the speed of light that wrapped Bai Qi's body instantly fell into the vortex, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye!
……
Kant couldn't sleep at all, probably because his older brother Connell, who worked in the Ministry of Mechanics, went to the Big Dipper Galaxy with the Imperial Expeditionary Force a few days ago as a technician.
He had a meal with his brother before he left, and Kant could clearly feel Connell's anxiety and uneasiness at the dinner table.
The eldest brother was a timid and cautious man, and perhaps never thought in his life that he would be involved in the war. Although every time the empire uses troops, the imperial mechanical department will send officials to follow, the purpose is to cooperate with the military department to do a good job in the deployment of mechanics, excellent mechanics are not under the jurisdiction of the military department, this is one of the rules formulated by the empire in order to maximize the control of the army's strength.
This time the Big Dipper rebellion, the empire used troops, and Kang Nai should not have go, but the mechanical department official who was assigned to follow the army to fight the rebels suddenly resigned, and the mechanical department had to temporarily arrange personnel, and after half a day of discussion, Kang Nai, who was obviously the weakest, became this backup.
After receiving this order, Connell became silent, although this crusade was likely to end peacefully for the time being, and there would be no danger for a civilian official like him, but who knows!
War is not what you think you are, anything can happen in war. As long as you are on the battlefield, there is no safety at all!
For example, many years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire, who wanted to accumulate enough military exploits, was actually killed by the photon bomb of the Luoma people under layers of protection, which made the Luoma people startled.
Suffice it to say that war is never safe. And it was because of that accident that the emperor had to pass the throne to his daughter, who is now Queen Micia!
Connell was frightened by this, but he could not resign like his predecessor, because this order was issued by the Ministry of Machinery and the Ministry of War, and if he resigned, it would be a violation of military regulations and would be severely punished.
Kant kept comforting the eldest brother that Connell was better, but he was still a little sluggish.
"These bastards usually shout patriotic slogans louder than anyone else, but when it comes to the critical moment, none of them have a shadow!" Connell said angrily.
Kant could only listen, because he didn't know how to answer, the war was coming, and most of those powerful people chose to be silent and disappear, and this time the army of the empire to the front, more than three million soldiers, was actually 99% civilian.
This made Kant suddenly have a certain dislike for those people, but he couldn't help it, this is the truth, in every war that happened in the empire, the most sacrifices were civilians, but in the end, most of the medals were won by the children of powerful families.
In the annals of the empire, the glory always belongs to those nobles, and it is always the children of the common people who shed blood on the front line.
Although Kant is also a nobleman, he feels more and more that this identity is not an honor, especially recently he has read a lot of paper books, seen a lot of history that he had not thought of before, and had a lot of feelings that he had not felt before, which made him feel more and more lost.
When Kant left the hotel, his brother held his hand and said that if he was gone, he would take care of his father!
This made Kant in a very bad mood, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, he got out of bed, came to the dormitory, walked around the campus, walked and walked, he saw a person standing in the square at the entrance of the campus.
The man stood facing the black stone, the man was trembling incessantly, and when he looked closely, Kant saw that the man's eyes were a little dazed, and his breathing was a little short......
……
Bai Qi didn't know that it had been too long, but when he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself on the bank of a large river.
It's a strange river, and instead of water, it's flickering waves.
This is a great river formed by the convergence of light waves, and the great river rushes from a distant place, flowing not far from Baiqi, and the sound of waves rushes away.
What is this place! Bai Qi sat up suddenly, and saw a man standing not far away, the man was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it.
Seeing Bai Qi stand up, the man glanced in his direction, beckoned, and walked towards the flowing river of light.
Bai Qi looked at the man who walked into the river of light and instantly turned into countless bright spots, and was swallowed by the river of light in a blink of an eye, I don't know why, I feel a kind of sadness.
Who is he! Bai Qi stood up, surrounded by an endless void, the void was filled with thick clouds and mist, the clouds and mist covered everything, and this world could not see anything clearly except for the river of light in front of him.
Only this river, Bai Qi looked at the light waves flowing in the big river, and in his ears was the sound of waves, which was no different from the real sound of the waves, but in the sound of the waves, a faint sound that made people tremble, and the sound seemed to be the cry of despair from thousands of people.
Styx! Could this be the River Styx! Bai Qi's consciousness instantly thought of Styx, but soon his meaning became blurred, and he just stood there, letting the minutes and seconds pass. After a long, perhaps short time, his mind began to blur, and his body involuntarily walked towards the great river, and he stopped in front of the river, bent his body, and stretched out his hands.
Bai Qi's hands slowly approached the light wave, he felt a majestic power, he wanted to withdraw his hands, but he couldn't take it back, he watched blankly as his fingers slowly met the light wave, and then a majestic force poured into his body along his fingers!
"Ahh There was an indescribable pain, and the force that tore through the flesh instantly rushed into his body......
……
White up! Kant finally saw clearly that the person standing under the black stone was Bai Qi, he rushed over almost without any hesitation, he rushed in front of Bai Qi, his body blocked Bai Qi's view, his hand grabbed Bai Qi's shoulder, and his voice shouted Bai Qi's name.
……
White up!
Bai Qi felt that his whole body was about to be blown up by that majestic force, he struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free, seeing that cracks appeared on his body, light sprayed out of the cracks, and his body was about to be torn apart by the light, at this time, his eyes suddenly went black, and the light disappeared in an instant, and then he heard someone shouting his name in his ear, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw a familiar face!
