Chapter 76: Tsubaki
"In my old house in my hometown, if you look up at the sky during this time, you will see very beautiful stars, but I have never seen it at night in a big city."
Standing on the edge of the dune, listening to the sound of the sea, Chun behind her told her story.
Mars was sitting in a wheelchair. He and Chun sent her father away together, and he also saw a small gift that the father gave to his daughter.
It was a small knife, Sishima style.
"Mars, have you ever thought about the future?" Chun's question behind him made Mars stunned for a moment.
Yes, in the future... to be honest, Mars really never thought about it. When he was a child, Mars was obsessed with the dream of a thief, and all he wanted to do was make money in side businesses. Until that rainy night, he suddenly realized that he was not a thief.
Belonging to the Dead Eye group, facing his father's death for his ideals made the young leopard cub not only shocked, but also more thirsty for revenge.
After the revenge is completed.
Mars thought for a while and used his spiritual power to drag a rocking chair to Chun: "Maybe I will go to college and major in archeology."
"Why?" Chun asked, sitting on the rocking chair, "I thought you would go to the police academy."
"There is too much blood on my hands, and the justice there is not suitable for me, so I'd better go to archeology." This is what Mars thinks. His disregard for life during revenge makes Mars wary of himself.
, a child like him, who has been accustomed to committing crimes since he was a child, and who killed people to avenge his father when he grew up, how can he possibly carry out the justice in the eyes of the police?
Mars doesn’t want to deceive others, let alone himself. The former is about conscience, and the latter is about reason.
"There are not many archaeological places in southern Thailand, and the old underground tracks are too dangerous. Where do you want to go?"
"I heard that there are many ruined cities in Middle-earth, the southwestern peninsula, and the far east of the western continent." Mars said this and looked at Chun: "I like adventure stories, such as the ruins of Middle-earth shot by Joe Beers.
Story adventures, exploring stories from the old era.”
"Indeed, but I also want to be a teacher." Chun smiled and said her dream: "When I was very young, my first teacher was an old lady. She always said that as a
Princess, whatever you want, what's the burden on your shoulders... She is a good person, but she has been swallowed up by the times, but isn't that the case with teachers? They teach generations of children until they themselves are swallowed up by time.
Swallowed, sages all say that knowledge is power, and teachers are the carriers of power. They themselves are not strong, but many times, the knowledge they tell is so powerful. Generation after generation, they pass on the knowledge since the old era.
a lot of things……"
When Chun said all this, there was light in her eyes. She mentioned the old era, the time ten thousand years ago. At that time, the earth was nominally unified, and a global government called the United ruled under their feet.
The planet, the entire civilization is prosperous, they have got rid of the gravity of the planet, and the earth civilization has established a star orbit around the planet and an earth-to-sky elevator that goes directly to the star orbit.
"I heard my teacher say it. He said that everything changed when he came into contact with subspace and evil gods. Psykers began to appear. Those children with talents were collected and sacrificed by evil groups in North America... Every
Every low-level life carries a price tag. In the eyes of those above, they are just sacrifices to please the evil god. They want to obtain the eternal life given by the evil god." Mars said while looking at the sea in front of him.
"Your teacher also knows history very well, and so does my teacher. He said that until now, many places in North America are still forbidden areas for life, and out-of-control old-era intelligent equipment factories are still starting up today. They are not related to those who are still alive.
The alien species left in this world are at war, and they are also at war with humans, because today's humans have also been genetically contaminated in their eyes. But the problem is that there is no life from the old era in this world. Each of us has
It is the existence of the new era." Chun said this and was silent for a while: "He also said that before the evil gods really invaded, humans naively thought that their calls to the gods were answered, but they did not expect that sometimes the person who answers your begging is not
What you deeply believe in is more often than not a dove occupying a magpie's nest, and the gods are carved in the miniature astral temples anchored in low-Earth orbit. They place the expectations of mortals on beauty.
But in the end, the world ushered in the invasion of destruction. The dark age came. Star tracks were shattered, civilization collapsed, and dark evil gods swept across North America. Bones filled stadiums, underground garages, and even squares... And the surviving humans
And their descendants were forced to spend eight thousand years and countless sacrifices to pay for the sins committed by their fellow earthlings and their ignorant ancestors. This is the story of the Great Destruction, cold and ruthless."
Chun is very good at learning history. Many stories that Mars has never heard of are as real as if she had seen them with her own eyes.
Listening to these stories told by Chun, Mars looked forward to the future.
"If you can join the Land Ark in southern Thailand who is responsible for the redevelopment of the west, and they explore westward to find new settlements for humans, solve the mysteries of the past in the ruins, and define the underground railway network of the old era, it will definitely be a very interesting life story.
Right." Mars said this and looked at Chun: "But I know you have other dreams."
"You really understand me. Thank you, Mars. I really want to live in the Ark with you, but..." Chun looked at the sky and sighed.
"I know that everyone has their own dreams." Mars said this, and finally stretched out his hand to hold Chun's hand: "Promise me, Chun, everything you do, you will do it first."
"Of course, I'm not one of those fools who just do what they say when their heads are hot, although sometimes we need people like them more, just like sword users." Chun smiled and held Mars' hand: "Also.
Yes, thank you Mars, you won me from my father."
"I said, I will do my best." Mars turned to look at Chun.
"Then I should be more cautious. After all, Mars, you won me from the evil villain. My life belongs to you, Mars." Chun's face was full of smiles.
Facing Chun's chuckle, Mars was a little embarrassed and shy, but more importantly, he saw the satisfied smile on Chun's face.
All of this made Mars throw away everything he wanted to say in self-defense.
He only hoped that this moment would one day last forever.
Say it in the words of poetry.
