Su Mingan followed Team Mu's instructions and came to the edge of the inner city, where there was a church.

  【Team Mu (21:45): It seems to have been blown up. It doesn't matter, the emotional resonance device inside should still work. 】

  The church has been destroyed in the war, and the red tiles and rubble are piled up all over the place. It was a building before the cataclysm of the century, and a Jiazi stood in Doomsday City, which was eventually destroyed in the civil strife.

  Su Mingan stretched out his hand, the Ring of Time gleamed, and pointed his finger at the church.

  Suddenly, the masonry flew up from the ground, and the green dome was automatically spliced ​​together, showing the prototype of the church. In less than ten seconds, it had returned to its original magnificent appearance.

   Team Mu’s location was very good. The church was surrounded by towering buildings, and few people noticed the movement here. When he opened the door, Su Mingan saw the bodies of many soldiers on the ground.

  【Team Mu (21:45): There are several dungeons near here. It should be the prisoner who quarreled with the **** team. 】

  Su Ming'an swept past the corpses, and there was a small back room at the end of the red carpet of the church. It is said that there is a resonance device inside.

   He pushed open the door with a "squeak" and saw a machine linked by red and blue circuits, with a simple chair next to it, which looked like a room for confession or atonement. There was an old man sitting on the chair. The old man was half leaning on the chair, his head was drooping, his face was paler than paper, like a corpse.

  Several link wires were attached around the head of the old man, the machine roared slightly, and the old man was using this emotional resonance device.

  Emotional resonance devices are not a good thing - most people don't need to experience someone's life at all. For people, this thing is more of a torture tool to disintegrate willpower and punish prisoners.

  Su Ming'an quickly pulled away those link wires, the old man broke away from the resonance, and his body fell forward. . why are you here? "Su Ming'an supported the old man's shoulders.

   He had no idea that there would be someone here. He even suspected that Team Mu deliberately invited him to see this person. The old man's eyelids moved slightly, his pupils became scarlet and turbid due to the torment of resonance, and his hair was gray, as if covered with a layer of snow.

   He stared at Su Ming'an's face for a while: "I'm... dreaming?

  Although you look different, I have a feeling that you are Lord Lewis, you have come to see me, haven't you? "Su Ming'an frowned: "Yes. Can you still walk by yourself? "

  The old man supported the armrest of the chair and tried to stand up, but failed, he was too weak.

  Although the old man's face was haggard and skinny, Su Mingan still recognized it—the old man was Sen Kelstia.

  Sen was the original leader of the beacon fire, and he was also the target of their rescue this time. Just an hour ago, when Su Mingan sneaked into the building, he heard Sen tell the **** Rongyuan that he was going to betray Lord Luvis.

   Sen's sentence "If I provide you with the situation of Lord Luvis, will you be able to give me back my freedom?" Su Mingan still remembers clearly now.

   As for why Sen appeared here, it may be that the **** team was intercepted in the middle, causing someone to torture Sen. Sen is one of the key characters in the main quest "All things come to life", and he cannot be allowed to die here.

  Su Mingan released the wheelchair: "Come up."

   "No, no. How can I use your things?" Sen waved his hands again and again.

   "Come up." Su Mingan grabbed Sen's hand, pressed Sen's whole body on the wheelchair, and pushed the wheelchair to leave the room.

  The wheelchair has no energy, just like an ordinary wheelchair. The ground of the church was covered with sticky bloodstains and corpses. Sen leaned against the creaking wheelchair, panting violently.

  Cold sweat kept falling on the old man's forehead, his pupils became bigger and smaller, and his fingers trembled unconsciously.

   "How long have you used the resonance device?" Su Mingan said. "Thirteen minutes." Sen replied.

   "Why use it?" Su Mingan frowned. Noah died after fifteen minutes. Sen is a lot of age, thirteen minutes.

  Sen just gasped.

  Su Mingan was pushing a wheelchair, surrounded by soldiers' bodies. This church was originally destroyed by artillery fire, but it was the Ring of Time that restored it to its original state. Most of these soldiers were crushed to death by masonry. just hide behind

   Mori in the room is still alive.

   Don't know what's going on here.

  Due to the cold weather, Sen's eyes were covered with a layer of fog. He looked at the corpses, his eyes seemed to cry, but his expression remained in an extremely calm state, forming a contrasting silence.

  Su Mingan pushed the wheelchair, bumping and bumping all the way, Sen suddenly whispered: ".Sorry."

   "What?" Su Mingan didn't hear him clearly. "Lord, I'm sorry." Sen said.

  Su Ming'an's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes didn't even tremble. "It's okay, I'm used to it." Su Ming'an said.

   Betrayal, he heard it with his own ears, but he was not angry.

   He has learned one thing - to value what should be valued and ignore what should be ignored. If you are betrayed, it is common; if you are hated, it is normal; if you are loved, it is accepted as an extra gift. If you don't learn to be extravagant, you won't suffer too much pain. If you don't cherish a treasure, you won't be too sad when you lose it. He looked straight ahead, and the pattern on the door of the church was extremely beautiful. It seemed to be painted with some ancient mythology, which contained the wishes of people before the cataclysm of the century to be buried. The old man in the wheelchair kept coughing, and his gray hair kept shaking.

   ".Sorry, lord."

   Ke Sen's next words changed Su Mingan's expression.

   "Obviously he wanted to tell the wrong information so that they could not find your trace, but he was seen through by the Uyghur army, and he was tortured to this point"

  Sen choked and said:

   "Mingming arranged an escape plan and wanted to help liberate the people in the other dungeons, but in the end, because of incomplete information, he was blocked in the church and watched the church collapse and everyone died."

   "I wanted to actively link the emotional resonance device, at least before I was crushed to death, I left some information, but I found that I couldn't get rid of the resonance at all, and I had to be rescued by you"

   "I can't have your wisdom, but the only thing an old man with a tough body has is the heart that wants to share your worries, but it's not even worth mentioning."

   "Lord, I'm getting old."

   Cloudy tears rolled down the old man's cheeks.

   "I'm just an ordinary person, without any aura of deification, and I'm not as smart as you."

   "I'm really tired, and I don't have the strength to run to you without hesitation. Even if I always want to help you, it's always self-defeating. After all, I'm not favored by the world.

   The light in Su Ming'an's eyes trembled.

  —These people who betrayed him, in fact, none of them actually betrayed?

  Whether it is Tretia, Yaowen, Sen, if there is a traitor among them. What kind of human beings have been cultivated in the ruined world?

  Su Mingan quickly left the church, and the torrential rain fell on the two of them in an instant. Between the dark streets and alleys, black blood mixed with gasoline and mixed into the sewers. The thunder suddenly appeared, and it pierced the eyes of people.

   At this time, a message from the Mu team popped up, saying that the nearest soldier was stationed one kilometer away, but there was no medical equipment there, and the emotional resonance was irreversible.

  Su Mingan stopped. There is no cure. They were standing under one roof.

   He lowered his head and looked at the old man in the wheelchair. The gray hair was covered with heavy rain, and it looked like a crystal diamond under the dim street lamp. The old man, with his head full of diamonds, turned his head slowly, slowly.

   Those eyes were like flames, and the flames in them seemed to burn endlessly.

   At this moment, Su Mingan suddenly wanted to get angry. He wanted to question this world copy, what did it ask him to save? air?

  —Why did he come to this ruined world?

  —Did he make a special trip to witness the death of others? - Is it just for him to experience loss again and again?

"Lord, don't think about saving me, I'm not as valuable as Xi and Noah, I'm just an old man who has nothing to do with the overall situation. This way of dying is also my intention, I don't want to. After the war, as an old man The bones are rotting on the bed." Sen said:

   "I didn't want to live anymore, I just wanted to die with those church children." Su Mingan took a breath of cold air.

   "Lord. I've seen many dead

   The soldiers who went. Before they die, they always hold my hand and ask for help, even if it is an extra minute and a second, please give them time to say goodbye to their families, even if they know in their hearts that I can't do it. "Sen said:

   "People are always like this, you only know how to cherish them when you lose them. Fortunately, I am lucky. I didn't die in any secret room with blood all over me, and I couldn't breathe fresh air until I died."

   "I tried that emotional resonance device for you. If you use it, you can skip the most painful period of resonance at the beginning."

  Su Ming'an still didn't speak. Ten seconds later, he spoke:

   "Sen, do you remember Yaowen?"

  Heavy rain slanted on his face, as if touching his skin.

   "Remember, he was a very good boy. When he led away the mechanical army, I was in my thirties." Sen said. "He is also a hero, although no one knows." Su Ming'an said: "Since Zong Yaowen passed away, I only found out that there are so many like him in the ruined world, thousands of Yaowen."

   "For more than 40 years, no one in this world has fought alone." Sen said: "You can trust our soul as much as you want."

   The halo-yellow light and shadow flickered on the old man's face, as if stroking his wrinkles of different shades. After a while, blood came out from Sen's mouth.

   is the same as Noah's symptoms before his death.

  Emotional resonance is like a deadly poison that is irreversible. If you can't stand it, you can't stand it.

   "Let's turn around and go to the church." Sen said, "At least let me go back to the dead children." Su Mingan looked at the distant buildings silently for a few seconds.

   In the darkness, the lights are not visible, and the broken walls are like a fallen black dragon. After a while, he turned around and pushed in the direction of the church.

   His hand pushing the wheelchair was very hard, and the knuckles were bluish-white.

   "The dead represent liberation, but they are the most cruel to the living. Those who live only bear huge responsibilities and cannot die." The old man's voice was very soft in the rain:

   "This idea, since Xia Sheng committed suicide, I have been running around in my mind repeatedly, unable to relieve myself." "I just feel that I missed the opportunity to die on the battlefield."

"Lord, I hope you don't blame human beings. Some of them were really selfish and hoped to hand you over, but they only took care of their family - in fact, there will always be people who are willing to go through fire and water for you, silently facing all the heavy pressure. "

   "Don't speak, don't preach, don't show off, don't fuck."

   "I know." Su Mingan thought of Tretia and her last look: "I know." He suddenly heard the old man's laughter.

   hoarse, bloody, not clear in the rain. The corners of the old man's eyes were slightly raised, and the wear marks of the years on his face showed sufficient marks.

   "Actually, sometimes, you are like a small child, and you can't see that you have been through so long to say this. But in the end, I still want to tell the truth."

  Sen held the armrest and turned his head slowly, the blood from the corner of his mouth soaking through his collar. "Really?" Su Mingan said.

   He couldn't remember a time when he showed his childish side.

   "In 32 years of that year, when you came to Fenghuo, I thought you were an extraordinary person. Later, Fenghuo became the eleventh district, and the eleventh district became the doomsday city, and more and more people saw you.

   But I've seen you in a bad mood. When Fei Si died, when Yao Wen disappeared, when Luna died, when Xia Sheng died, when Terettia died, when Su Xiaobi jumped off. At that time, I felt that you were actually very lonely.

  You are sometimes resourceful and shockingly calm. Mistakes are made sometimes, and you speak insincerely like a sulking child, and that's when it makes me feel like you're real, not a perfect statue. "". I didn't mean it. "Su Ming'an said.

   "You're insincere right now," Sen said. Su Ming'an's eyes were not focused.

   He couldn't laugh at all.

   "Sorry, but I really want to finish these words," Sen said. "It doesn't matter." Su Mingan said.

   "After tonight, the war must be completely over. Then." Sen paused for a while, his voice suddenly

   was a little trembling:

   "Can you bury me and Xia Sheng together?"

   When faced with death, the old man's light-hearted temperament is much stronger than that of young people. From the moment he saw Su Ming'an, there was no fear of death on his face. He only said that it can finally end, and his life is finally here.

   He missed the opportunity to die on the battlefield back then, and he was uneasy about it for the rest of his life, and now he still died on the battlefield, which is a decent death.

   But when he mentioned "Xia Sheng", Sen's voice actually trembled and fluctuated. That name seems to be a memory that he will never forget in his life.

   "Yes." Su Mingan agreed. Sen suddenly stretched out his hand.

   The thin sleeves of the old man slipped down naturally, revealing a dry and black arm like a skeleton. He raised his five fingers slightly, as if trying to grab something.

  Su Mingan bowed slightly.

   So Sen's hand successfully touched his face.

  The old man's body was already weak, and he was tortured under long-term detention. His hands were covered with frostbite and scratches, and he even lacked an index finger. Even without the emotional resonance device, he probably wouldn't live long.

   Before he died, he touched the face of the city lord he admired the most, as if he was looking at a cluster of light, and it was as if a light had finally touched another light.

   Then,

  Light little by little, falling into nothingness. "I can finally"

  The old man's blue lips rubbed together: "Go to see Xia Sheng."

   "He took 24 years more rest than I did," "I'm finally going to meet him."

  Su Ming'an's eyes trembled.

  Some people say that people who leave the world just do not exist in this one-two-three-dimensional space. In fact, they are in a larger world with more people, but their form of existence has changed.

  Sometimes, the heavy tombstones are them, the wind in their ears is them, the white birds in the sky are them, the lotus flowers in the pond are them, and the steaming milk on the table is them.

   And for Sen Kelsia—

  Su Mingan went straight and slammed into the bright red in his pupils. Those blazing flames will be him from now on.

  His son Cheng Kelstia and grandson Che Kelstia both fought for the maintenance of human beings all their lives. There is also some kind of burning fire in their eyes.

   "Lord, after tonight, go and enjoy the tomorrow brought by mankind, you deserve it." The blood on the old man's mouth became more and more:

   "I ask you to continue to be kind to human beings, no matter what is smart or what is stupid, human beings choose to live or die in the way they believe."

"Neither to live nor to die, human beings are all carrying out their beliefs. Some people die for love, some die for happiness, some die for suffering. It's too complicated, you must be an ordinary person than me. understanding is a hundred times more profound.”

   "So, I will only give you my best wishes" said the old man, and withdrew his hand.

   He folded his hands solemnly on his knees, his back straight and his head slightly raised.

   At this moment, his whole body seemed to be suddenly exuding sharp energy, and that old pedantic feeling suddenly dissipated.

   is like this moment,

  The young beacon leader who was sitting on the high stool and walked towards the newcomer Lewis, who walked into the tavern in 32 years after the cataclysm, was back.

  Su Mingan has seen him at his sharpest.

  If the world is extremely dark, there will always be someone walking in the front, so that the people behind will look up and still have a back. There must always be a flame of hope, otherwise what is the point of sacrifice?

   "Senkerstia."

  The old man solemnly repeated his name: "I sincerely wish you here"

  A large amount of blood poured out from his mouth, already purple-black. "Have a mound of memory where flowers bloom everywhere"

   "Wish you"

   His eyes are always sharp, and the flame in his eyes has not been extinguished for a moment on this return journey. "This is the last time. Lost."

  The icy rain poured into Su Ming'an's robe, and he could no longer understand what was hot and what was cold. The sky and the earth are hazy, as if the

   Connected as one thing.

  In the distance, there was a babbling baby crying, mixed with the sound of wind chimes in the residential building. There was always peace in the building, and the blood and rain from the streets could not trouble them.

  Su Mingan could smell the fragrance of lilies faintly.

   Then he remembered the girl who gave him the first bouquet of lilies, she was Mori's grandson, and died to resist the invasion of his dimension.

  Three generations of heroes of the Kelstia family. "I heard it." Su Mingan said:

   "The last words, everyone, I will remember." The old man said nothing.

   He also looked straight ahead quietly, ignoring the freezing rain that wet his body, as if he was in some kind of peace that was isolated from the outside world.

   After a while, his head drooped little by little, his eyelids drooped a little bit, as if a little spark rose from his seat, floating into the sky, towards the high sky—

   It seemed like thousands of human heroic spirits who refused to give in during the war and fought until the very end.

   And Su Mingan finally stopped, the wheelchair was pushed back into the church at this moment, crushing the red carpet full of blood. The warm yellow light of the dome sprinkled on his shoulders, and the old man in the wheelchair with his head hanging down, dazzling his gray hair like a circle of golden-white sun.

  Su Ming'an's eyes gradually emptied, and then slowly raised again.

Only then did he discover that the bodies of the soldiers in the church extended from the door to the back room—they should have pushed Sen into the sturdy back room at the moment when the church collapsed, allowing Sen to live for more than ten minutes. .

  Sen's death has no earth-shattering value. Like most ordinary people, he died for the overall situation, but it is very important.

   He is like a microcosm of countless ordinary soldiers. "."

  Su Mingan couldn't see the expression of the old man at the last moment.

The    light was very dazzling, and Senkerstia kept her sitting posture in the most upright form, her back was straight, her hands were folded, and the silver ring on her ring finger was engraved with her lover's name.

  Under the brilliant light,

  The old man and the hundreds of soldiers who died around him are like hundreds of human monuments. .

  The warriors will eventually return to the battlefield, and the comrades will build a monument together.

  ・・

   "Ding dong!"

  【You have reached (Senkerstia) character ending: HE·Monument】【(Monument):

   "I have spanned a long time, witnessed countless deaths, and even my black hair has been dyed white by the years." "From youth to sixty years, I have witnessed the long-term changes in this world."

   "The rumored immortal lord is right in front of me." "I want to ask you-"

   "How is this world? Is it a beautiful world? Is it a world you like?" "I would be honored if you liked it."

   "If you look up and see the flowers all over the mountains-" "You can definitely see it,"

   "On that field, there are countless monuments facing you. They are all like me, full of joy in this beautiful world."

   "I wish this scene of flowers blooming everywhere,"

   "It can stay in your long memory forever, allowing you to see this beautiful world more and more." "In this way,"

   "Even if there is one more me in the monument, it will be satisfying."
