Chapter 64: The Journey That Doesn't End
Huge Storm Exclusion Zone
Right now.
was cut off by Su Wen with a sword.
Then.
The dazzling stars could not be restrained by darkness at last.
Flowing from the northern sky.
Blend in with the Pacific breeze.
It is also sprinkled on every tombstone in the cemetery

【Dear Lead Player】
You have successfully changed the timeline.
Until I saw this text.
Su Wen really relaxed.
He leaned back in his computer chair.
At this moment, the sky outside the window belonging to the coastal city has long been completely dark.
If you look up slightly, you can see the faint starlight.
The stars you see in the cities south of the Yangtze River will probably never be as clear and clear as the starry sky beyond the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean.
But.
That future is not far away.
Because just a dozen days later.
Su Wen was about to take the airport in Marina New Town to follow the night watchman to the Samoan Islands.
Inside the computer screen.
After the danger is removed.
Phyllis looked at the faded pale blue shimmer figure outside the room.
She finally couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart.
She pushed open the door and rushed out, then held back her tears and said firmly:
"Father, I don't blame you.
I will continue to refine your research. ”
Hear this.
Anthony Elianor fades in the afterglow of the lights.
But his dissipating hand was finally gently placed on the girl's head.
helped her smooth out her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze:
"Kids.
Don't take these things as a mission.
Don't leave others with regrets like I did. ”
Then.
This scientist of the theory of ocean circulation, who later attracted the attention of the world, can be regarded as truly leaving this world.
The tide of the sea of silver sounded.
It carries the will of the departed back to this universe.
Under the warm afterglow of the lights.
They are not alone.
[Inphyllis-Elinor's decision to continue research]
[Future Timeline: 'Orbital Voyage Project' Participating Nodes Increase 'Psionic Circulation' Node, 'Asteric Gravity Springboard Event' Chance of Success +46%]
The girl watched in amazement as the figure vanished.
Su Wen didn't choose to say anything to comfort her now.
Sometimes.
The language is too noisy and too pale.
Silence is the best option
He looked into the distance.
After the Storm Exclusion Zone has dissipated.
The warships under the command of Colonel Ulysses were already heading here.
Distance.
The light on both sides of the two-lane highway extending outward from the Haiyu Research Institute is very faint.
It seems that apart from the starlight overhead and the clouds that seem to be within reach, only the detached houses with lights on are scattered across the Samoan archipelago.
Half an hour passed.
He walked to the side of the road and picked up some glass grass that had not completely withered in the autumn.
Then.
Walked back to Haiyu Cemetery.
A glass grass was placed in front of the black tombstone belonging to Anthony.
Meanwhile.
Phyllis reluctantly adjusted her mood and asked him:
"Kevin, are you really just a detective?"
"Peel back the cocoons of the past and find the truth.
I guess that's probably exactly what the detective needs to accomplish. ”
He replied calmly.
Then.
Su Wen handed the flower that had not been put away just now to the girl's hand:
"Glazed grass, you know it has an alias?"
Phyllis hesitated.
She doesn't have much research on plants.
If it's Captain Adrian of the Forester Cult or Nelson the Globetrotter here.
Probably they'll be able to answer it quickly.
Su Wen didn't wait for her answer.
After two seconds.
He calmly gave the answer:
"Glazed grass, a comfrey plant.
It also has a more widespread name:
Myosotis alpestris F. W. Schmidt.
Remember rather than dwell on everything that happened today.
I hope you understand that. ”
Phyllis looked up.
I saw Su Wen's handsome side face and calm and deep eyes like the deep sea.
Then he nodded slightly.
Not far away.
A convoy belonging to Lorenz Riel and the U.S. Federal Navy is already heading here.
The blue-gray canopy reflects the off-road vehicles with their lights on to form a spark, gradually illuminating the solemn shore of Haiyu.
Sidney and Neeld were the fastest in their off-road vehicles.
They rushed to the front.
Then.
Stopped with the roar of a huge engine.
Sidney came to him.
Then he said seriously:
"Kevin, this matter is a dereliction of duty on our part in the Pacific Ocean, but it has put you at risk, I'm sorry."
"It's too late.
Even without Phyllis, they would have forcibly sacrificed the relics of the previous Storm Warden, Anthony, to call for the Scourge.
I can stay until now.
It's just to increase your stack.
Until then.
The island, and all of them, will be torn apart by the storm.
Do you know?
Of the choices between death and despair, only a very small number of people would choose the decision that was probably certain to die. ”
He said with a smile.
"It just so happens that I'm probably more disgusted with despair than death."
"What a madman!"
Nelson stepped forward and gave him a hard hug:
"Brother, it's good that you're alive."
He then asked:
"Is there any way you want to celebrate?"
"Find a bar, I'd like a light ale."
The night passed.
The Samoan archipelago in the early morning looks faint in the morning mist.
Suvan, Nelson, and Sidney sat unkemptly on the top of the cliff.
They had a few bottles of beer that they had run out.
The morning sun rising slowly from the sea level in the distance shines softly on everything.
Meantime.
Su Wen was also on the hill overlooking the city, and finally could get a glimpse of the whole picture of the Haiyu Cemetery.
It was a series of black tombstones.
And in the white monument in the center of the cemetery only one sentence remains:
What to witness
What is to be redeemed
All have taken root with the sea breeze】
Nelson looked at the view from there.
As a famous photographer and traveler, he has a lot of inexplicable feelings, and he also has a lot of things he wants to write in his travelogue.
He picked up the beer bottle he had in his hand and prepared to clink glasses.
But until you pick it up.
Only then did he realize that the bottle was already empty.
I had to shrug my shoulders and ask with a smile:
"Kevin, what's next?"
Hear this question.
Su Wen thought about the ruins he was about to experience in reality.
He looked into the distance and said:
"I'm going to see the ruins of Storm Bluff."
