Chapter 251 Diary Part 2
The Science and Technology Exhibition Hall - Secret Base? It was very quiet, rows of columns more than two meters high were neatly arranged, and the blue metal balls suspended on the top rotated silently, reflecting a strange and weird color under the bright light.
Empty venue? It was extremely silent. When Chu Xiuyan walked around, he had a strange feeling that he was being silently watched.
The pillar closest to the door was marked with the number "369". The pillar was two heads taller than Chu Xiuyan and about half a meter wide. When the metal ball on the top of the pillar was stared at, it started to spin faster and emitted a faint unpleasant smell.
Chu Xiuyan did not touch it impulsively, but just observed with his eyes. He moved forward a little bit, and the closer he got to the depths of the "exhibition hall", the smaller the number on the pillar became.
He saw the number "1" on the front pillar.
But apart from the numbers, the deepest column No. 1 is exactly the same as the other columns in the "field", with the same rotating metal ball, and the surface of the column is so smooth that it can even be used as a mirror, as if it were copied and pasted.
In this huge venue, apart from these pillars, there is only one square table, placed at the edge of the deepest wall. It is just an ordinary wooden table with dark marks of decay on the tabletop. There are obvious signs of damage, and there is even a small piece missing from the corner of the table. It is obvious that it has been used for a long time.
Chu Xiuyan walked closer and stopped at a diary lying flat on the table. It was very thin, only about a dozen pages.
The system said quietly: [You know, right? Now you are? Like? A fish in a river, in front of you is? A hook with bait hanging on it, and the fisherman on the shore is staring at you eagerly, trying to cook you for a midnight snack.]
Chu Xiuyan seemed to think for a while, then quickly grabbed the diary and opened it quickly. As long as he could deceive the guy who was secretly peeping, he would be able to successfully see the information in the diary!
Then, his eyes quickly scanned the contents of the first page while he moved the diary around.
[It's always like this in the movies. The protagonists find important information, and then they stand there stupidly? And then the villain attacks them from behind when they're not prepared! So, as long as I don't stop, then? No one will attack me from behind... because they can't be sure if I will turn around suddenly, hahahaha! ]
The system didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally chose to praise: [You really are a genius! ]
The handwriting in the diary was not what Chu Xiuyan expected, or was it his handwriting, or rather, was it the handwriting of the [Blood Mist] in this world.
[……
11.3, sunny and windy
The first beast tide has begun. I heard that all the sentry towers not far away have fallen. I hope Brother Si Nian and the others can come back safely.
11.12, mostly? Cloudy, strong wind
The beast tide is approaching. My uncle is going to cooperate with the base in the south, hoping that everything will go smoothly.
12.13, sunny, no wind
The first beast wave has receded, and the sentry tower is being rebuilt. A group of people came to the southern base, like? They want to talk to my uncle about something... There are so many of them? They look so fierce, but one of them looks like a big lion.
The caravan was going to set out early, they said they had to return before the second beast tide and blizzard arrived.
12.28, light snow, windy
The first snow this year came earlier than usual. The caravan hasn't come back yet, but fortunately the beast tide hasn't come yet. My uncle caught a cold. Brother Si Nian wrote back and said they were on their way back. It's so cold outside... My uncle asked me to go underground to avoid the cold, but I didn't want to because I'm not a child.
1.1, heavy snow, windy
The snow is getting heavier. I am a little worried about Brother Si Nian. The snow and wind are so strong that he might get lost. By the way, my uncle is still having a fever. Did he throw away the medicine secretly again?
1.3, blizzard, strong wind
Si Nian? Brother hasn't come back yet, there's no news from the caravan, and my uncle's illness has gotten worse. The control of the base? Has been temporarily taken away by another person...My uncle said he trusted him, but I hate him.
1.8, blizzard, strong wind
The beast tide is coming.
Everything is heading towards the worst possible scenario.
I hate snowy days.
1.15, blizzard, wind
...He was lying to me, he wanted to control me.
I am? My uncle's weak spot. He wants to control me and force my uncle to do things for him.
trouble.
Go to hell.
1.20, blizzard, strong wind
There are traitors.
Although I may die this winter, if I kill that guy, the base can be returned to our own hands.
fine.
that is? ……
When does the sun come out?
When will spring come?
I hate winter.
It would be so unfortunate to die on the river bank in winter.
…Oh, I don’t know if it’s true or not? It’s an illusion. I feel like I saw (the handwriting is blurred)]
Chu Xiuyan's breathing stopped, his eyes widened, and the pages of his diary rustled.
"Isn't this? The diary of Blood Mist. What is this? The original one—"
He had just turned the page when a voice so cold that it seemed to freeze the air came from behind.
"That's enough. Don't scroll any further."
A hand suddenly appeared from the air, white and slender, it was a female arm.
——【Ice Field】.
He was going to take that diary.
Chu Xiuyan hurriedly walked a few steps away and shouted, "Wait? Wait? I'm still one step short?!"
Upon hearing this, the female deity from the snowfield silently withdrew her hand. Her eyes were still tightly closed, and it was unclear what emotion she was feeling.
But He did not stop Chu Xiuyan from flipping through the pages.
[……
1.25, light snow, windy
My uncle arrived and rescued me, and we returned to the base? .
Si Nian? My brother is back too. Although the beast tide is approaching, spring is coming soon. Everything should be over soon.
My uncle asked me to stay in the underground shelter for a few days.
Well, I'm still injured, if I don't go out, I'll be a drag.
1.30, sunny, calm
Spring is here, the snow has stopped, and the sun is out.
The beast tide finally left.
So warm.
…
…
But everyone died.
I don't know what happened. Everything was going well before... But this is too ridiculous. Is it that the beast tide was too fierce, or that the internal conflict in the base was not completely resolved?
I don't know anything.
All I know is... (indistinct) I can't even? Put them together...
I'm beginning to hate this spring.
if,
If this sunny day does not come, what if it still is? Those snowy days (words are blurred)
2.3, clear, calm
I don't want to investigate any further.
I discovered something.
How? I guessed right...
I can save everyone.]
…
The diary ends here.
Chu Xiuyan exhaled deeply? A breath, and seriously? handed the diary to the female god [Ice Field].
"I've finished reading it."
[Icefield] nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Go that way."
He pointed in a direction, and the west wall cracked, revealing a passage.
That should be the exit.
[Icefield] took the diary and walked towards the wooden table at the deepest part of the venue.
Chu Xiuyan hesitated for a moment and followed him: "Why do you want me to see this diary?"
He felt that [Ice Field]'s attitude was very gentle, so he should be able to? Try to communicate... I hope not? Riddler.
"I don't want you to say things like 'You did it wrong' or 'You still have a chance to stop now' to him without knowing anything."
[Ice Field]'s voice was very light and faint. He never looked back. As he walked, he exuded a faint smell of ice and snow, which reminded people of the snow-covered pine forest, or the silver-white butterflies circling in the sky.
Chu Xiuyan frowned and muttered, "I'm not talking nonsense. This is the path he chose. I still can't tell whether you are completely wrong. I just think... you shouldn't be so extreme."
He pursed his lips, seeming to be struggling with how to phrase his words.
[Icefield] put the diary on the table, silently? looked at the boy who followed closely behind?, quietly? waiting?.
Chu Xiuyan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "I think maybe? Something? Got? a? problem? somewhere. The desperate man mastered the power beyond? his? control, and then? changed? the world according to? his own will. And the people around him? assisted, remained silent, escaped, and finally? the originally normal path? went astray and lost control. And what's even more terrifying?... him, us, and my uncle. I don't know about the others, but we are all? the kind of bastards who will never turn back even if they die on a path. So someone needs to hold us back. Mom, grandparents, and others are keeping an eye on my uncle. I learned optimism and? open-mindedness from my dad... but this world..."
[Icefield] replied: "As far as I know, they died a long time ago due to an accident."
Chu Xiuyan couldn't help but slow down his breathing, but he quickly regained his composure. "So, I still hold on to my original idea. It's too difficult for me to worry about who is right and who is wrong, but it's easy to stick to my own ideas. Now I just need to rush over and beat up the [Blood Mist], destroy the Northwest Base, that bullshit plan for all mankind to become gods, and end this reincarnation that has been repeated countless times - there is no future, no new hope, and decay in the unchanging reincarnation. This is clearly a complete self-murder."
"I won't think about what would happen under such hypothetical circumstances. I only know that I have come here with the intention of stopping you, so I will not retreat. Whether I win or lose, right or wrong, let the future judge."
[Ice Field] did not respond, and his face was always facing Chu Xiuyan.
Then, he smiled gently.
Very faint and shallow, just like a ray of sunshine in winter.
But spring has not come to the northwest for a long time.
It was so long that it lasted for hundreds of reincarnations, so long that everyone had forgotten about spring.
…
Chu Xiuyan left the secret base?
He followed the passage opened by the Ice Field and came to a snowy place.
Howling wind, freezing cold, and above the head is the bright and warm sun. Under the rendering of light and shadow, the silvery white snow beneath the feet is radiant with layers of golden light, like a sparkling sea of stars.
He was standing on the top of a snowy mountain, surrounded by mountains all around, all covered with thick snow, surrounded by clouds and mist, it was particularly beautiful, as if in a dream.
Chu Xiuyan exhaled? A breath, and saw the air condensed into a white mass and gradually dissipated. He rubbed his hands and looked down, could he? Faintly see a faint black spot on the hillside? .
"…I just said some nice words before?"
Chu Xiuyan covered the lower half of his face, his ears were red, but his eyes were bright and energetic. "But I didn't know how to deal with Xiaohong. After all, it's impossible to solve the problem with words. What about fighting? If I really kill him, my future self will probably think of him from time to time, and it will feel like he is haunting me like a vengeful spirit. So if possible, I want to lock him up, and the doctor, and everyone in the Northwest Base, for decades or hundreds of years. Anyway, they are so powerful, and they can provide help for future development."
The system was silent for a moment, [Too idealistic. ]
"No way? I am? The protagonist."
Chu Xiuyan rubbed his hands and exhaled a cloud of white air. The condensed blood crystals formed something like a skateboard, which he stepped on and headed towards the black spots on the hillside.
His voice was very soft, and the golden sunlight fell into his eyes, like? smudged out? A trace of brilliant light.
"Because I am the protagonist, I have to do something beautiful that others don't want to do or can't do. Call me naive or ridiculous... System, there are too many people in this world. I want everyone to move forward, whether they are happy or in pain, move forward, keep moving forward..."
"As long as you keep moving towards the future, you will always meet new people and new things, and those things will reshape a person's soul. No one is alone."
After that, whoosh, the boy slid down the hillside on his blood crystal skateboard, the golden sunlight shone brightly behind him, everything looked so beautiful.
…
System: [Tell the truth? I was almost moved by you just now.]
【As long as you don't trigger an avalanche. 】
Chu Xiuyan screamed and struggled to steady his body on the skateboard: "This is not? I did it on purpose! I just? Want to go skiing! [Ice Field]! [Ice Field]!! Are you there? There's an avalanche! Your base? It's going to be buried aaaaa——"
