"Can you open the door now?"

Ling Yu watched as the medic gathered up Linya's body, slowly raised his head, and turned his head to look at the group of generals in Allied uniforms who were walking down the passage, and looked at Sauron.

Sauron looked at Yang Chengze, who was the leader, with a cold face, and reluctantly greeted him and made a knightly salute.

"I'm sorry, General, for letting you see the joke."

"I am sorry and sorry for your sacrifice." Yang Chengze raised his hand in salute, and then made an official tone, "Our enemy is the ACA, which just proves it." ”

Sauron nodded, but there was not much real gratitude in his eyes, just as there was not much real regret in Yang Chengze's eyes.

That's what politics is all about.

"Well, then, I'll open the door now."

Sauron nodded, turned, and walked to the door, pressing his palm against it.

The gate of the bridge was opened, and two groups of knights entered first, standing on either side like a guard of honor, with their hands on the hilt of their swords, standing upright.

Ling Yu and Sauron exchanged a look, neither of them could quite understand the other's thoughts from the complicated gaze mixed with too many things, but Sauron finally nodded, and Ling Yu took a deep breath and walked into the room.

Ling Yu walked through the empty hall. Walked directly to the high platform in the middle, without modesty or hesitation.

Like Linya, he wanted an answer.

As if waiting for everyone to line up, Karitas did not appear in a flash of flickering until other cavalry officers and allied generals, such as Sauron and Yang Chengze, stepped onto the platform.

Karitas still resembles a giant ball. However, it was the first time that Ling Yu and the others had seen the true body of this legendary Ark Master AI.

"What's your relationship with Avina?"

Just as everyone was waiting for Karitas to speak, Ling Yu preemptively asked a question that puzzled everyone.

"Avina ...... What an old name. ”

Unexpectedly, Karitas, who had always been above the top, actually answered Ling Yu's question directly, and sighed with a rare sigh.

However, at this moment, the blue translucent sphere representing Karitas suddenly flickered violently before giving an answer.

"She's a subprogram of mine that separated from me a long, long time ago, what's the problem?"

"Nope. I'm just asking. Ling Yu shook his head, "Do you often flash around like this?" ”

"Watch your tone, human." Karitas seemed a little upset and retorted.

"I'm concerned about you and I need to make sure you're not being traitored Marvin. Greg hacked or wrote a bit of malicious backdoor code. Ling Yu shook his head without respect, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and showed a sneer, "After all, next." The questions you have to answer are related to the lives of many people. and whether the sacrifices of many who died really make sense. ”

"I know what you're asking, Ling Yu, I've been interested in you for a long time."

Karitas's ball of light flickered again, and Ling Yu raised his head and looked at the other party. And under the silver cloak hood, Helis suddenly frowned.

"Then give me an answer!"

Ling Yu took a step forward and slapped his hands directly on the railing in front of Karitas.

"Am I the fertilized egg or not, am I a human or a prehistoric man!"

Ling Yu's voice echoed throughout the bridge like an outburst. Every word was like a sharp blade, shooting towards the blue ball of light in front of him.

“……”

Karitas was silent.

For three whole minutes, Karitas just flickered constantly, without making any sound, and Ling Yu didn't urge, just stared at Karitas, filling the entire bridge with silence.

Morgue silence.

"Unfortunately, I misjudged that although you are unique, you are not my master."

"Are you sure?"

"Really?"

Sauron and Yang Chengze added similar questions almost at the same time, but Karitas's answer this time was swift and cold.

"Don't try to question me, human."

"I still have things to deal with, I'm not with you."

Karitas flickered for a moment, then vanished into thin air, just as it appeared.

"Hahaha......"

Ling Yu pushed the railing in front of him, took a step back, and laughed.

His laughter grew louder and louder, and in the end, the entire bridge was filled with only Ling Yu's arrogant and presumptuous laughter.

Finally, Ling Yu's laughter came to an abrupt end, as if a chattering person had suddenly been choked by the neck, and the black-clothed young man bent over, took a deep breath, and then straightened up and gently patted Sauron's shoulder.

"Jeuny's funeral, I'll go."

Then, the young man in black stepped off the platform and left the bridge without looking back.

"Perhaps...... God is the most innocent and has lost the most. ”

Just as everyone was looking at Ling Yu's back, a clear and soft voice came from behind everyone, and when everyone turned their heads, they saw Helis like a wind, stepping on metal boots, speeding through the crowd and following Ling Yu.

Then, in the bridge, there was no more sound.

***

"Bang-"

Twenty-one gunshots pierced the quiet sky, and the coffin, covered with the flag of the cavalry, was slowly buried.

The glorious cemetery of the cavalry, located on a hill southeast of Reykjavík, is home to most of the victims from Iceland's independence to the present day.

The reason why it is not all is because the wishes of some of the deceased are followed, in fact. Linya was not buried here, and the girl's body was transported back to Yorkmock according to her will, where she was buried with her parents.

Four high-ranking knights, dressed in rare black and white cavalry uniforms, picked up shovels and walked out of the crowd and around the tombstones. In the oldest, most primitive and with the greatest respect, bury their heroes.

Jeunse. Miele, or rather, Karin. Rasmussen, as the chief knight who had made a significant contribution to the cavalry, was given preferential treatment for burial, and before the burial, Speaker Isaac was as agreed. All the organs in the culture tank that originally belonged to Jesse were transplanted back into the lifeless corpse.

This was the wish of the maiden, and she finally left this world in the form she had come to be.

However, the girl's left eye was shattered and could not be restored during the transformation, and in the end, Sauron covered the girl's eyes with an eyepatch embroidered with a silk personal coat of arms, until the end. No one knows that the letter C of this flower font designed by Jeunse herself. It represents the cavalvy, or her name, Carleen.

Or maybe both.

Ling Yu stood motionless in place until the end of the entire funeral, and the people involved in the funeral left one after another, and finally. Only Ling Yu, Sauron, and Helis remained.

"Anyway, I don't think you let her down." After a long time, Sauron spoke softly.

"It's not 'no,' it's 'won't.'" Ling Yu shook his head. "I'm not going to let her down."

"Here's it for you."

Sauron reached out and pulled out an envelope, "This was found from Linya's body, it's just an ordinary drink tab, but it's in Linya's most intimate pocket, I think it must have some meaning." ”

"I'll pass it on to Logan." Ling Yu nodded, took the envelope, and put it in the inside pocket of his jacket.

"Go say goodbye to her."

Sauron sighed, then patted Ling Yu on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the exit.

Ling Yu nodded, stepped forward, and slowly knelt on one knee.

Jeunse. Miele, 2155-2178

Not Karin. Rasmussen, Isaac, and Sauron eventually decide to keep the secret a secret until the end.

Not born in the Ark, the little girl who always smiled softly, just a little girl from Reykjavík.

The young man stared at the name on the tombstone, took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled.

"So...... Why are you so amazing......"

Ling Yu stretched out his hand and put his finger on the tombstone, in the warm sunlight, even the marble carried a hint of sunshine, just like the girl's long golden hair.

"Why could you have guessed so early that I am the Son of God?"

"Yes, congratulations, Karitas has also given the answer, I am indeed the son of God."

"So, it seems that I can't go back to being a normal courier."

"Forget it, I promised you anyway...... I'll keep going down your path. ”

"If you really have become a star...... Then look at it. ”

"I'll put an end to this qiē...... One day, no more children will be pushed onto the operating table, no more children will need to pick up guns, and at that time, the work of protecting humanity will be done by me, and my successors......"

"It sounds tiring, doesn't it...... But it can't be helped, who told me to bury you with snow. ”

"Just take it as my apology to you, how did Logan say, 'Hitting the door on a girl will be punished'. Now it seems that this is probably my retribution. ”

"So, no matter what happens, I'm going to keep going."

"I promise."

Ling Yu slowly stood up, raised his head, and looked at a blue sky, the young man turned his head somewhat deliberately, and turned his eyes in the direction of the sun.

As if this would make an excuse for the tears in his eyes.

***

"Let's go."

When Ling Yu walked towards Herris, there was no trace of tears on his face.

The young man in black reached out and grabbed Helis's shoulder and smiled, "We still have a lot of things to do." ”

Ling Yu...... Are white lies really a part of life?

Helis's words were displayed on the electronic board in her hand, causing Ling Yu to be silent for a moment.

"Probably......" Ling Yu nodded, then shook his head, "It's just that some things don't matter anymore. ”

"Because, there are things that, from the very beginning, don't need to be acknowledged by anyone."

Helis looked at Ling Yu's face and nodded, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Only she knew that at that moment, the moment Karitas spoke, she felt a special code.

"Fear".

But as Ling Yu said, there are some things, perhaps from the beginning, that don't need to be acknowledged.

Therefore, lies and truths, from the very beginning, have no meaning at all.

"Let's go."

Ling Yu took the girl in the silver cloak and took a step.

He didn't know if he could see the way forward, but he knew that even if he was in the fog, if he looked up, the stars in the sky would show him the way.

Unreasonable, but convinced.

***

Eight hours later, that day, at four o'clock in the morning.

Several dark shadows appeared in the cemetery, and they bypassed the guards and made a beeline for Jesse's grave.

"This is it, there will be no mistake, TF's body doesn't start decomposing until 48 hours after death, and we're just in time."

The black shadow in the lead raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and then waved at his subordinates, and the other four black shadows showed small digging equipment.

"Now, it's my turn to protect you."

The black shadow in the lead smiled coldly, and the electronic board in his hand emitted a faint light under the touch, and a line of text was displayed in the place of the title.

"Just.Project".
