Chapter 519: The Guilty
Alternate dimension, Medical Department.
The aging of the High Priest was already a great loss to the entire extradimensional space, but when the people in the medical department began to pack up to find a ward for the High Priest, another bad news spread throughout the entire extradimensional space.
That was the Holy Monarch who had been lying in the intensive care unit on the top floor, and at this time he was gone.
When the High Priest saw the shattered hospital room of the Holy Monarch, the old man, who had been super strong a day ago, let out a terrifying coughing sound, which sounded as if he might lose his breath and suffocate himself to death at any moment.
But even so, the High Priest scolded all those who gathered around him in the most serious tone, for he wanted to be alone for a while in the room where the Holy Monarch had been.
All the soldiers withdrew from the ICU area and went to the next floor to wait for him.
Not long after, Yang Feng's footsteps came from the stairwell, Yang Feng seemed to know that the high priest was on it alone at this time, and when he walked up, he lowered his head and looked solemn.
Needless to say, the soldiers all knew what kind of mood he was in at this time, if they put aside their enemies, the reason why the high priest became like this, Yang Feng also had an inseparable relationship, if he didn't choose to kill the demon but to stop Di Xiusuo from infecting so many people, everything might still have a chance to be saved, although now the lives of those civilians were saved, but the price of all this was half the life of the high priest.
"Yang Feng, don't go up, he gave a death order, no one can go up. A soldier tried to stop Yang Feng.
Yang Feng turned his head and read the great perseverance on the faces of the soldiers, and he could see from their eyes that this soldier was not lying.
But he didn't go to the high priest to talk, and maybe the lock in the high priest's heart now can only be unlocked.
"Thank you. ”
Yang Feng said these two words lightly and continued to walk up......
The soldiers didn't forcibly stop him, because they also felt that by this time, the high priest should also have a lot to say to Yang Feng......
Half a minute later, Yang Feng appeared at the end of the corridor on the ICU floor on the top floor of the medical department, and he could see through perspective that the high priest was sitting next to the old site where the Ice Coffin of the Holy Monarch was originally stored, muttering to himself as if he was chattering.
In fact, he wasn't sure if he would be scolded when he came over at this time, but as the "sole responsibility" for this accident, he felt that he still needed to apologize to the high priest in person, even if he was scolded by the high priest or even beaten out by the high priest, he deserved it.
He pursed his lips and whispered towards the room at the end of the hallway.
The broken glass on the ground at the entrance of the ward had not yet been cleaned, and as soon as Yang Feng appeared at the door, he saw the glass-like fragments of the ice coffin inside, and the high priest was sitting on a simple small bench next to him, as if in a daze.
After seeing Yang Feng's figure, there was not a trace of ripple in the old man's eyes, as if the high priest had already guessed that Yang Feng would come to him.
It seemed that Yang Feng was too worried, and the high priest did not immediately scold him to leave, nor did he wave his cane to beat him as soon as he saw him, but continued to sit there, observing Yang Feng with his already cloudy blue eyes.
There were no extra benches in this room, and Yang Feng had come to plead guilty, so of course he was not qualified to sit and talk to the high priest.
He looked up at the old man in front of him, who looked like a zombie, it was hard to imagine that a few days ago he was hiding in that small storage room with the high priest, like a pair of brothers drinking bubble noodles and talking about life, but in just a few days, the high priest has changed from his "brother" to his grandfather......
"Do you know when this place was attacked?" the high priest was the first to speak, asking Yang Feng in a hoarse voice.
"I don't know...... I guess that's what happened during this time of our time on Earth. Yang Feng said like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, looking down at his toes.
"It's those rebels of the Gendai, they've already been here. The High Priest whispered.
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching a few times.
"This place is accessible to no one but them, and no one in this universe needs His Majesty's body except them. The High Priest said.
"Can we lock their position now?" Yang Feng said with his head down, with a hint of murderous aura like a hidden blade in his voice.
Upon hearing this, the High Priest chuckled, "Hmph, don't you remember how many clones you died in this battle? If they absorb His Majesty's power, they will become unprecedentedly powerful, and the power of time in His Majesty's body can still be used by them, do you think you can deal with them even if you are given their positions?"
Yang Feng lowered his head even more inferiorly, as if he wanted to bury his face in his neck.
"I'm stepping down, you're going to take my place, are you ready?" said the high priest as he continued to stare at Yang Feng expressionlessly.
Yang Feng closed his eyes as if he was about to cry, he knew that if he answered "no" now, the high priest would definitely look down on him in his heart, even if he didn't say it......
"This mission...... I'm sorry...... I do not shirk my responsibilities and am willing to bear all the punishment that I deserve. His voice was so thin that he wasn't sure if the high priest could hear it, even after he had finished speaking.
"For thousands of years, although there are clear rules of reward and punishment in the other dimension, there is almost never any punishment used on anyone here, and you have also seen the consequences of the team's disobedience in the last Yellow Sea survey operation, we did not punish them, and listed them in the list of martyrs, do you think, you deserve to be punished?" said the high priest as he stared into his eyes.
He nodded vigorously and did not speak.
"Tell me why you disobeyed orders. ”
Yang Feng showed a look of grievance on his face, he raised his head and glanced at the high priest helplessly, the two tears in his eyes were beating their bones, as if they might fall out at any time.
"Tell me, I'll keep it a secret, I know you're not the kind of person who easily disobeys orders, and I saw it when you killed the demon, what kind of hatred does it have to do with you?" said the High Priest softly.
"It kills...... Liu Qingling's parents. Yang Feng choked up and said.
This answer seemed to have come as a surprise to the High Priest, and it was the first time that the High Priest's face had changed during their conversation.
"Oh, you see?" the High Priest's tone was as calm as before.
"They have turned into zombies, and they still have a text message in their hands that they haven't sent to Liu Qingling. When Yang Feng said this, the tears in his eyes finally fell out uncontrollably.
"What did that text message say? Can you show me?"
After he finished speaking, Yang Feng took out the mobile phone from the only zippered pocket on his pants, but he didn't know how long the two percent of the power in it could last.
After turning it on, he saw that there was still the last hundredth of the battery in it, so he hurriedly found the text message stored in the deposit box and handed the phone to the high priest.
It's just that the mobile phone has just arrived at the high priest for a few seconds, and the mobile phone automatically shuts down because the battery is too low, Yang Feng estimates that the high priest may not even be able to read the first two sentences at this time.
The high priest reluctantly handed him the phone.
"Do you know how many people have died in the world during this dark night?" the high priest asked him in a serious voice, like a teacher talking to his students.
But he didn't answer, because of the question, he replied that he knew and did not, and that he didn't know either.
"Every major reshuffle of the universe is to exterminate all the creatures in it, this is like your metabolism, there will always be some old cells in your body that are replaced, the universe is like one of the cells, the world is the same, new things will eventually replace the old things, we are also the target of this dark night to eradicate, but why do we still want to save those human beings on the earth, do you know the reason?" said the high priest with a solemn look in his eyes.
"Because...... We have the ability. Yang Feng said hesitantly.
"That's right, because we have the ability, because we have the ability to survive this night, but do you think, if we are only stingy with our strength, just to keep ourselves alive from this night, then after dawn, we will become the only people in this world, and the emergence of a new civilization may be a trillion years later, can you afford to wait? Are you willing to wait? At that time, guarding the wreckage and dust of the stars of the universe, as a watchman who is lonelier and older than the stars, can you wait?"
Yang Feng shook his head vigorously.
"According to their statistics through the light mirror system, there are at most fifteen percent of the human beings left on the earth now, that is to say, eighty-five percent of the human beings on the earth have died in this dark night, and if I guess correctly, this dark night, it should still be the first half of the night, and there will be deeper nights waiting for us in the future, the real man-eating monster is still hiding behind, are you ready to protect the rest of the people?"
Speaking of this, Yang Feng nodded, he felt that he had been doing things to protect human beings, but there was an accident in this matter, which made him get carried away by the selfishness of revenge.
"First of all, Fog Han and the White Priest left, and now you can see it, I can't continue to fight side by side with you anymore, and it's unknown how much I have left in my remaining life, but I don't blame you, I don't blame you at all, and I even have to ask you, I beg you to stand in our position, take the alien dimension down, take the alien dimension, take the entire human civilization, and survive this dark night. Okay, Yang Feng?" the high priest asked with a hint of pleading.
"But I don't believe I can do these ......," Yang Feng said with a choked voice.
"No, you did a good job, I can see from the time we have cooperated, you have done a really good job, impeccable, this is why everyone is willing to accept you and even if you make a mistake, you don't go back to blame you, you do even better than when Wuhan first came here, you will be a qualified leader, and you will also be a pioneer of a new era. ”
Yang Feng nodded.
"Okay, I don't blame you, now adjust your emotions and get ready to attend your enthronement ceremony, I've asked people to move a whole box of instant noodles to my office, and when your enthronement ceremony is over, go to my place to eat instant noodles." ”
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, "When is the enthronement ceremony?"
A wicked smile appeared on the high priest's wrinkled face, he didn't say much, but took out the communication crystal from his clothes, Yang Feng looked at it, and found that the high priest's communication crystal had actually turned on the channel of all members at this time......
