At first, it was just something that touched and shocked the sight of something great.

Even though the people of this world never thought that there was a new world beyond the heavenly dome; Even in their cognition, the sky is never blue, ultramarine has always been synonymous with the sea......

But when the first rocket lifted off, people were still subconsciously holding their breath.

Something from the depths of the blood is awakening.

That is the human desire for the heavenly vault.

Even if the heavens are sealed, the books are destroyed, and history is cut off. Everything became a secret.

But what flows in the vein, human beings will not forget, let alone forget.

Hope conveys hope, and love connects love.

And then, a miracle called a miracle—

In the beginning, not all stakeholders were willing to participate in the "Meteor Project".

Even after the dream was imprisoned, there were only a few people who could participate without hesitation.

Everyone has their own relationships in society. They all have their own parents, children, friends, and lovers.

At the end of the day, because this plan doesn't have to be sacrificed by everyone in the first place. Is there any danger to this plan? Will they suffer misfortune in the process? Do you plan to use them if you want to be successful? Is there room for them to wait and see? Are they being kidnapped and forced to sacrifice by other people? Or are there others who are also hiding...... After they have done everything they can, the most despicable will stand up and steal the fruits of victory?

Man is not obligated to sacrifice for anything other than himself. It takes a rare courage to stand up to people's gaze and decisively choose to sacrifice when others are silent—not the courage to sacrifice, but the courage to embark on a different path from others.

This is also the yang conspiracy of promotion.

Maybe it's because he's lived too long and stood too tall, maybe it's because he's experienced a war that destroys everything, maybe it's because he created an inhumane descent device and won because of it, or maybe it's because his consciousness has long been reduced to absolute "0" and "1", leaving no room for "possibility" and "uncertainty......

He doesn't believe in human beings from the bottom of his heart.

But Russell doesn't blame him.

「…… for he had never seen the light of that miracle."

Russell spoke slightly in the silence of the night, and whispered, "The shooting star flying backwards." In the darkness of the night, he stood on the top of the mountain with the delphinium and the bad day. Look up at the meteors that are still flying sparsely in all directions.

Half a month ago, these meteors were able to cover the sky at one point. Just these fires that ignited from below illuminated the sky.

And now they are scarce again, only because the rocket launch sites are full. Until these two days, it has just been vacated.

18,000 psionic abilities. Twenty-three thousand rockets.

Originally, the area was covered in snow and ice, but the surrounding snow and ice were completely melted by the continuous firing of rockets around it. It's warm enough to make you stand outside without wearing a protective suit.

From that first meteor flew backwards, a free bullet struck the sky...... It's been a month now.

Colder snow and ice have covered most of the cities. The surface temperature has dropped to minus 60 degrees.

The city that used to be lit up has now fallen into complete darkness. Human activity has ceased completely. The former Upper Town has been completely reduced to ice-covered ruins, but the once dark and shadowy Lower Town is sparsely lit. Only those who participate in the Meteor program will go to Uptown in protective clothing.

"As you say, all of them are heroes."

Bad Day whispered, "When everyone stands up, everyone is a pioneer." The light at the bottom of his pupils had long since been extinguished.

He had long been prepared for the sacrifice - but humanity did not rely on the psionic powers of Bad Day.

As early as his third day of continuous work as a "landing device", a better and safer landing system was developed and manufactured.

At that time, Bad Day felt a sense of loss. But at the same time, I felt a sense of happiness and an inexplicable touch.

It's not that people have some kind of distrust of him. It's because everyone is doing their best for a common future

They can't give him all the responsibility, all the work. The meaning of civilization is to help each other.

So Bad Day boarded the rocket and returned his psionic energy to the silent sky with a relieved smile.

And after that, it's the delphinium.

At that time, she had given birth for less than a month, and she was still in the puerperium, so she didn't have to risk going to the sky. No one will blame her.

But the delphinium gently but firmly refused to be held by Xia and Ice Water.

"I am one of the most powerful psionics in this world. I've never had room to back down, it's my duty.

"When I go first, everyone else will follow. I'm so sure." She was right.

When the delphinium also boarded the rocket and flew into the sky. More "shooting stars" are born from the silent crowd.

After returning the psionic power, the delphinium reverted to a normal body and became extremely weak. The extreme cold and fall made her recuperate for half a month before she recovered.

Today is the last day. Although she was still a little tired and weak, she still came with Russell firmly.

"When the darkness is broken, they are pioneers."

The delphinium said softly.

When she gave up her psionic powers, she felt a sense of emotion and relief. That's not the power of happiness in the first place.

The psionic beings possess the same spiritual power as they have experienced in the past. And the process of constantly improving the red shift is the process of constantly excavating this pain and distorting one's own mind as an ordinary person.

And now, in order to save the world, she has returned this power and said goodbye to her demons; It is only now that she can let go of her immature self in the past.

"I've grown up too......

The delphinium muttered to herself.

The girl in her arms looked up curiously, screaming wildly.

The meteors flying backwards are like bursting fireworks. It lights up a child's eyes.

Feathers that are ignited by the flames always fly upwards with a glow.

The pure flame that rose in the eternal night brought light and drove out darkness.

Man's conformity is not just evil. People always tend to move closer to the group, so when the group is on the right path, civilization is sublimated.

Originally it was just Mars. Then came the flames. Eventually, it will become the fire that burns the prairie and burns the prairie fire.

Finally, as the last fireworks slowly extinguished in the sky.

Russell knew it was time to play himself.

"What do you think?"

Bad Day didn't look back at Russell, but continued to look at the gradually darkening sky, and asked, "Do you think that everyone has returned to the transcendental?" Or do you have to wait a little longer?

"After all, you don't have a second chance. And if there are still some people who fall into selfishness and retain their strength...... When you touch the Black Dome, the vessel of the gods may dissolve completely. At that time, the illusion will be released, the black dome will not be broken, and everyone will die."

"No need."

Russell smiled and shook his head, "I'm sure people have already made their own choices.

"Dragons, elves, popes...... The path they pursue is the one in which they control the world by themselves, by the elite.

"—but I think that if humanity really walks on a fork in the road of history that is either life or death. The most important thing to do, then, is to leave everyone's choice of future to everyone.

"As you said, the Brokers are using everyone to help everyone. Its essence is to teach people to help themselves. And if I let everybody save everybody, then that's tantamount to letting humanity save itself for free."

He smiled brightly, and there was a bright smile on his face that was fearless and fearless.

He was right to Emerald

Finch nodded and said softly, "Honey, I'll be back...... but at that moment, the delphinium suddenly walked over in a few steps, hugged Russell tightly, and buried her head in Russell's neck.

And the girl in her arms, still does not know what is happening. Instead, he let out a crisp laugh, hugged Russell's face with his backhand, and stared at his sparkling eyes, reaching out and pulling Russell's ear hard.

"Rather than saying goodbye...... I'd love to hug you again."

Delphinium buried her head in Russell's arms and said in a sullen voice. The hand that grabbed Russell's back tightened slightly.

"Don't be afraid. Ah, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......

Russell gently patted the back of the delphinium like a child, raised his head helplessly to look at the sky, and said in a gentle and soft voice: "Good boy. I'll be back, don't be afraid...... Don't cry."

「…… Brother."

Delphinium whispered, and stuffed a bottle of Coke that had been warm in her arms for a long time to Russell.

Although it was warm, it dropped rapidly after it came out. Then, the delphinium suddenly kissed Russell deeply, and his tongue was entangled. In the cold wind, there is a hint of sweetness on the cold tongue.

"The factory has been down for a long time, and I can't find it. But I've eaten a lot of it before. ＂

She said softly, "Does it smell like a plum?"

"Yes."

Russell smiled, took a half step back, reached out to unscrew the Coke, and raised his head to take a big sip. He then teased little Anna and wanted to give her the bottle of Coke. But just as she reached out to take it, Russell laughed and handed the Coke to Delphinium.

"The remaining half bottle, just wait for me to come back and celebrate."

Russell looked up at the night sky that had returned to silence. There were no more "fireworks" in the sky, but there seemed to be fire still reflected in his pupils.

- At this time, it would probably be better to use that spirit.

Since Russell got it, there has been almost no use of psionic energy......

"Grow wings and become a bird. The beasts of the earth are forever longing for the firmament." Russell closed his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Humans......

"—Without wings, how can you go up?"

His whole body burst into light.

It's not dazzling, it's not eye-catching. It is a gentle light that does not hurt anyone. In the air, there seemed to be a melodious song of Xiao Liuli.

And as Russell's clothes gradually fell off, he turned into a bird. A small blue song flew into the sky against the biting storm.

That was the mask that Russell originally got.

It's a testament to the beginning of his story.

It will also be the end of his story.

"Let's Fly...... Arrive on the other side of the night."

The delphinium looked up at Russell in the form of a bird and muttered in a low voice, "I've been ...... I believe in you."
