Chapter 328 She Will Dawn
The platinum train carried Chen Xiao'er towards the abyss, and pale stars rose slowly in the void.
Is this the sign of the birth of a god? Lifting up a star that roams the universe.
Perhaps the body of the god will no longer have the distinction between real and virtual, or he will have a certain uniqueness that symbolizes actual existence, so he can construct an eternal and indestructible projection in the void?
The humans inside the monitoring center cannot cheer for the birth of the new god as wholeheartedly as the humans outside.
Of course, their faces flushed with excitement, and they wanted to carefully capture this once-in-a-lifetime scene with their own eyes, but now was not the time to celebrate.
The winner is about to be decided, and multiple power ritual arrays bloom like lotus flowers. Meteorites falling from the sky and energy overflowing from the abyss turn into strands of yarn, weaving a long silk scroll for Chen Xiao'er's coronation ceremony.
The dilatable fissures and abundant energy also attracted a large number of anomalies, which rushed to the ritual site desperately.
Some of them are old creatures that have been lurking for who knows how many years. They didn't make a sound before, but now they take advantage of the last chance to come and pick peaches.
Others were simply monsters devoid of intelligence, acting entirely on instinct. These anomalous creatures lacked even the sense of danger common to intelligent creatures; they were simply drawn here by the surging sea, ready to bite anyone they encountered.
"Don't let the anomaly get close to the train!"
The Eye of God and its accompanying monitoring equipment were completely inoperable, leaving only the unique real-time imagery of the Light. All commands centered around a single goal: to help Chen Xiao'e successfully ascend the ladder of deity and become a true human god.
Since then, the elite members of the Church of Light have all been dispatched, and apart from the staff of the monitoring center, there are only a few people left in the major bases.
This gamble was not only due to the madness of the impending doomsday, but also because of a line of ordinary golden text on the big screen.
【I have taken over the power of despair.】
The light swallowed up the despair, which meant that the hundreds of millions of souls in the soul pool would have a high probability of being reincarnated.
Even if we die bravely today, we can reunite in a new world tomorrow. Why not?
The energy shell of the power ritual gradually dissipated, and the communication with the strange object was completely restored.
More and more teams regained their combat rhythm, expelling the anomalies on the surface and in the shallow layer that tried to approach the train one by one.
"Look, what does this phenomenon represent?" An observer took a screenshot and forwarded it from the glorious live broadcast.
The train split into two entities, running continuously on the surface and in the shallow abyss respectively: to say "continuously" may not be quite accurate, as its smooth trajectory is interspersed with many space jumps.
All areas where trains pass are covered with a layer of tangible rails, and dense vegetation is grown on both sides of the tracks.
These vegetations do not cover a large area and do not extend further outward.
Occasionally, some neat buildings are built on both sides of the tracks. These buildings have the simple style of the early technological era, which is suspected to be based on Chen Xiao'er's aesthetic.
These changes have not yet exceeded everyone's expectations.
Chen Xiao'er's power is related to creation. When she becomes a god, she will naturally have the ability to transform the world.
If a god has preferences, then he would naturally create or transform the world according to his own preferences. Many people hope that Chen Xiao'er can restore the surface world to the prosperity of the technological age.
The spectacle of constructing rail transit out of thin air is spectacular, but it cannot compare to transforming the entire world. What amazes everyone is the changes taking place in the abyss.
The train and Chen Xiao'er on the screen are marked with white stars.
As the star fell, numerous unidentified objects emerged from the abyss, which had been reduced to a layer of soil. Some were as small as a nail clipper, while others were larger than a dormitory building.
"What are these things?" asked a young man, quickly sketching one or two with a pen.
"These aren't just junk..." the gray-haired expert pushed up his glasses and said in a nostalgic tone, "These are treasures buried by our predecessors."
So that's it. It's the target treasure in the excavation ceremony.
Everyone looking at the screen was suddenly filled with emotion.
Our predecessors have preserved a large number of relics in the abyss for future generations to use.
However, as the strange power grew stronger, the buried treasures sank deeper and deeper, and it became increasingly difficult for humans to dive down, so that each excavation ceremony required a large amount of manpower and resources.
And now—everything has changed.
The platinum train sped past, and all the human creations it passed by slowly rose up. They were like little butterflies that had flown into a soap bubble, floating up with the bubble.
It's no wonder they didn't realize at first that this excavation method was completely different from the church's excavation ritual.
The train soon passed through a "stratum" where a large number of relics were deposited, and sped towards deeper depths.
Below depth three, even the most elite knights are helpless, and instead the abyss beasts become more active.
Finally, a few anomalies succeeded in touching the outer shell of the train, and projections attacking the train body were born simultaneously in the depths of the abyss and on the surface.
Dong, dong, dong! They knocked on the carriage, trying to dig Chen Xiao'er out from inside - no matter if she was a shining star or a seemingly ordinary girl.
Will such interference be effective? What impact will it have on Chen Xiao'e's climbing?
Whoosh—a golden spear pierced through a monster on the edge, and then stars fell like rain.
"That's..." The people staring at the screen clenched their fists nervously, and the pen in the recorder's hand pierced the paper.
The pale sun illuminates the night sky, one, two, three... hundreds of golden dots of light suddenly light up in the center of the picture!
......
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The window was shaking, and Chen Xiao'er looked up suddenly: "What's going on? The train must be going over 200 kilometers per hour now, how could something hit the window?"
Could it be the sound of air friction caused by the window not being sealed properly?
"Swish!" She pulled open the car curtain and was so scared that she almost pulled it down: someone was hanging upside down outside the car window and banging on it!
"Don't you want to live? You will fall down!" As soon as she finished speaking, the guy who was desperately smashing the window slipped and fell down.
Snap, crack, crack... Judging from the sound of flesh and bones breaking, it must have been stirred under the wheels.
Gurgle.
Chen Xiao'e swallowed her saliva and began to retreat to the rear carriage with her revolver, preparing to find a narrow aisle for easier shooting.
"Woo--" The train blew its whistle and began to slow down.
The broadcast sounded again.
[We are about to arrive at Union City Station. Please be prepared to get off.]
Well.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't help but look out the window. There were many people standing on the platform in the shadows, and this station seemed to be a long distance away from the school.
But there's no way to complain about this, after all, the train can't go directly to the campus.
Chen Xiao'er hurriedly ran towards the car door, feeling a little annoyed.
If I had known I'd be playing a battle royale game with a bunch of assassins, I should have at least taken Sinaya's sports car first. No, even if I took her sports car, I can't drive it now...
The person on the other end of the radio seemed to be able to hear her thoughts and spoke with a smile.
"Don't worry, miss. Someone from the school is here to pick you up."
The school sent someone to pick me up? Chen Xiao'er's heart skipped a beat: Could the school still be after the Chen family's treasure? What if the person they sent was another assassin...
When she jumped off the carriage and saw the figure with arms outstretched on the platform, all the muscles in her body relaxed as her pupils trembled.
"zero!"
Chen Xiao'er ran towards the silver-haired girl.
rustle.
The two hugged each other briefly, and Zero gently released his hands before the warmth was fully transferred.
Warm light reflected in his ice-blue eyes. Ling's fingers brushed the corners of his lover's lips: "Xiao Ai, wait a moment, let's clean up the station first."
Chen Xiao'er reached out with her right hand and just happened to touch the weapon on Ling's waist.
She quickly took two steps back and looked around, only then she noticed that the seniors from the student union were also here.
However, no one gathered around to watch them hug, because there were too many people making trouble around, and the seniors had to disperse and stop them one by one.
So many people!
Chen Xiao'er could see thousands of people fighting together without counting them carefully. Could it be that there were so many students in the student union? Could it be that the seniors who graduated had also returned?
"Xiao'er, you go first, leave this to us." Ling gently pushed her shoulder and asked her to turn towards the school.
Good! Chen Xiao'er calmed down a bit when she thought of Xiao Nuan. She ran a few steps and then quickly turned back and shouted, "Um, does Xiao Nuan live in the school?"
More than one person's response echoed in the air.
"right."
“She lives inside the school.”
"The innermost room on the sixth floor of the main building's basement."
Xiao Nuan lives in the basement?
The slight doubt passed by, and Chen Xiao'er spread her legs and ran towards the school's cube building.
As she turned away, the humans in the station, dressed in various clothes, transformed into giant beasts of various shapes, baring their fangs at the apostle in front of them.
Boom, boom.
The surging energy ignited bright blue-purple on every individual in the apostle group, like a cloak woven of flames.
"roar--"
The giant beasts could not wait to rush towards the apostles, trying to bypass the enemy to lick the traces left by Chen Xiao'er.
However, the apostles tacitly coordinated their formations in space, and each strike was able to scrape off a large amount of flesh and blood, and the shattered flames instantly scattered like heavy snow.
......
Click.
The train hovering in the air opened all its doors at the same time, and waiters wearing silver masks walked out of the carriages one by one, each of them flashing in the space at a certain frequency.
The train driver sitting in the cab whispered to the radio: "Ms. Chen, I will pay attention to improving the security level of passenger trains. When we meet again next time, such things will definitely not happen again. Before that..."
It took off its mask and gently placed it on the table. Then a red light flashed from the soles of its leather shoes, and another person appeared in the train attendant's queue.
......
Zero didn't abandon me.
The corners of Chen Xiao'er's mouth rose and then fell while she ran: No, how long will I have to run like this?
I've already been delayed on the road for a while, and it's too late to cross half of the United Cities on foot.
She looked around, trying to flag down a car or a taxi, but the streets were empty. Not a soul, not even a ghost, and the parking lot was barely parked.
Strange, where have all the people gone?
Maybe they were scared by the terrorist attack...
She gritted her teeth and continued running forward. Her chest felt hot and her legs started to go numb. She felt like a hard flame was burning in her heart.
As Chen Xiao'er was running, she suddenly saw a mountain bike under the shade of a tree. The modified back seat looked very familiar.
Chen Xiao'er didn't have time to think about why this bike was here. Since it wasn't locked, she quickly borrowed it! She turned over and sat on it and pushed hard. The pedals and the chain carried her to take off on the spot.
......
The outer wall of the monitoring center was melting, and Taoli College was being pulled by the power of light like a building block, and was stuck together with several building blocks that had just emerged from the abyss.
If the original college was a very regular cube, then the current college is a modern castle made up of many cubic skyscrapers.
There is no need to look at the screen anymore, because the halo when Chen Xiao'er approaches is like a super-large meteorite falling from the sky with dazzling light.
The dazzling North Star shines in the sky. The human girl is flying towards the academy on the surface, while another larger projection is falling into the abyss.
The stars in the abyss will resonate with the North Star in space, connecting with each other, and making the ground their giant mirror.
"Xiao Nuan, I, I'm coming..."
Chen Xiao'er pushed open the last door breathlessly.
In her panic, she knocked out a few guys who came to block her way, but it didn't matter anymore.
Behind the door is a cozy bedroom, where the light, the same color as the sunlight, shines on people and makes them feel warm.
A young girl in a pure white dress sat on the edge of the bed, and the moment she raised her head, she smiled a long-awaited smile.
Everything was just like the photo I had seen years ago. Next to Xiao Nuan was the same exquisite easel from back then. The canvas was still pure white, not yet stained with beautiful colors.
"Xiao Ai, you're here." Xiao Nuan hugged the staggering girl and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Chen Xiao'er forced herself to look at the girl in front of her, but she didn't find any injuries. She asked with some doubt: "Xiao Nuan, what on earth are you..."
"I'm fine, and..." Xiao Nuan knocked her chin against her forehead and said softly, "Xiao Tong is fine too."
That’s great!
When the mind relaxes a little, a feeling of tiredness spreads throughout the body along with the radiation of strength.
Chen Xiao'er could not see the moment when the stars in the universe connected and responded to the projection of the abyss. She only felt tiredness and relaxation appearing on her at the same time.
I'm very tired, but also very comfortable. I want to sleep, sleep... for a hundred years or a thousand years...
"Go to sleep." Xiao Nuan patted her shoulder and let her lean on her knees.
Soft silk came from all directions, completely wrapping the tired girl.
Golden threads entwine the twinkling stars, as if weaving a thin cocoon to protect the young god.
No, I can't rest yet, I still have many, many things to do...
“I know we still have a lot of things to do, but that’s okay.”
Xiao Nuan's voice rang out softly in Xiao Ai's heart, "When you wake up, everything will be fine. I promise."
Countless memories fly through my mind, stopping at a face that has passed away but I still want to see again.
"......Good night, Xiao Nuan." Chen Xiao'er closed her eyes completely in the warm embrace, and the human girl's shallow breathing also stopped. Only the pure white North Star was shining forever.
"...Good night, Xiaoai." Xiaonuan kissed her forehead.
"See you tomorrow."
