Chapter 236 Don’t Let the Little Cutie Be Sad
Sister Lan, will you cry? I think you will cry.
You are not a girl who likes to cry, but you care about me very much. If I die, well, it may not be a beautiful death, and you must be very sad.
I'm sorry to make you sad.
But I must do this. And in order to do this well and fully gain the enemy's trust, I will probably hurt you, hurt Ye Qi's base, and do some very bad things.
Right now I don't know what I'll do, I'm waiting for the right opportunity to strike. I apologize in advance, Sister Lan, if I hurt you deeply, you don't have to forgive me, you can just hate me as much as you can.
When you know the truth and no longer hate me, please don't be sad and get out of the pain as soon as possible. This is my own choice. I want to do something and save the world. I have dreamed of being a hero since I was a child. Otherwise, why would I join the army?
When I was in the army, I spent all day training, standing guard, and marching. I even participated in a large-scale combat exercise, but I never actually went to the battlefield. We live in a peaceful country and a peaceful era. There is no need for soldiers to shed blood and sacrifice. How wonderful!
But now it’s different, the good times are over.
Now, steamed buns have become a luxury, and dying just by leaving the house has become the norm. The streets are no longer bustling with people and traffic, our Lanze Coffee Shop is gone, the city's shopping malls are gone, the tourist attractions are gone, livestreaming and online shopping are gone, there's no electricity, the water is poisonous, everything we were familiar with is gone.
The living environment is getting worse and worse, and the number of deaths is increasing. I once chatted with Dr. Ouyang, and he said that he has always believed that as long as everyone does their job and works hard, the world will eventually return to its original state.
Even if skyscrapers can't be rebuilt right away, building small houses will do. Even if there aren't shopping malls or movie theaters, a few small shops and stages will do. We should take our time. If one generation doesn't work, two, three, or even more generations will. Just like Yugong moving the mountain, with the hard work of our descendants, the good old days will return. Or, with a bit of luck, our generation will be able to rebuild that good old age, without having to wait for the next.
I think he is right.
But Sister Lan, the bad guys don’t think so.
The bad guys want to exacerbate the chaos and make the world even worse, so they can exploit it to satisfy their own evil desires and ambitions. Reconstruction is already difficult, but they are hindering us, sabotaging us, attacking us, and killing us. They are using whatever means necessary, growing stronger and stronger, while we, the normal people, are becoming increasingly weaker. This is unacceptable.
If this continues, when will we be able to live a peaceful life?
How can they destroy the safe houses and bases we worked so hard to build, the peaceful lives we worked so hard to achieve, and they have the power to do so? No, I don't agree.
I have to stop them.
But they're certainly quite strong, not so easy to deal with. My abilities are mediocre, and attacking from the outside won't do much damage. Better yet, use whatever means necessary to get inside.
Take the risk and hope to succeed by taking shortcuts.
Sister Lan, what do you think of my idiom usage? It's quite good, isn't it? Even without a college education, I'm quite literary, right? Haha! I talk a lot. How come I'm so talkative? So I can actually talk a lot, hey... that's it...
I just wanted to talk to you a little longer. I have so much more to say. However, Miss Yin said that the memory cluster can't be too large, otherwise she won't be able to seal it and it will be discovered by the higher-ups. Anyway, Sister Lan, I just want to tell you that by doing this, I'm fulfilling my own heroic dream and maintaining the kind of world I want.
A bit childish, right? Anyway, that's what I want to do. If dying alone can save so many, I'm more than willing to do it. Becoming a martyr, being admired by all, how glorious it would be. Sister Lan, don't cry, don't be sad, I'm very happy.
Well, goodbye.
Sister Lan, if we meet in the next life, can you let me be your big brother? I look forward to the day when you call me Brother Tang. Hehe!
"If you could survive, I would call you Big Brother now."
After all the images of the memory group were displayed, Qiao Lan gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Big brother, big brother, big brother, Brother Tang, Boss Tang Xiaoyao, Brother Xiaoyao... She can call him in different ways, as long as he can survive!
"Then call me brother." Yin Wanying said, "Call me brother now, let me see what you look like when you call me brother. You are obviously several years younger than me, but you insisted on asking me to be your little brother. Why did I agree to it in the first place?"
…(⊙⊙)???
"What are you doing, Aunt Yin?" Qiao Lan looked up in surprise at the person standing so close.
She was clearly Yin Wanying, but she spoke with Xiao Tang's voice?
The voice, tone, and expression are exactly the same as Xiao Tang's.
"oops!"
Yin Wanying stroked her forehead, frowned and screamed.
"What's going on? I... I suddenly feel like I'm not myself anymore. My head hurts, I feel dizzy, and my thoughts are confused..."
At this time, she changed back to her own voice. It was definitely Yin Wanying herself.
But the next second, it quickly switched again.
"Sister Lan, why don't you call me brother? Why are you glaring at me? Hurry up and call me brother before my soul dissipates. After hearing you call me brother, I can die without regrets."
Yin Wanying was used to smiling gently, but Xiao Tang rarely smiled. Now Yin Wanying spoke in Xiao Tang's voice, even the barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth was very much like Xiao Tang. He always had a straight face when he joked, and that was definitely him.
Qiao Lan was stunned: "...possessed by a ghost?"
Are there ghosts in the end times?
"Mom, mom, I want to find my mom..."
Yin Wanying's serious Xiao Tang's expression suddenly changed. He pouted, tears welled up in his eyes, and looked around with wide eyes. He asked in a baby voice for his mother.
"Holy Spirit!" Qiao Lan felt a chill on his back and got goose bumps.
That little girl turned into a ghost after her death and possessed Aunt Yin?
Qiao Lan was so weak from his injuries that he didn't know where he got the strength from. Maybe he was scared, and he rolled out of Yin Wanying's arms.
He rolled and crawled over the bodies of Xiao Tang and the little girl next to him and reached a few meters away.
"Xiao Tang, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me quickly and I will definitely help you fulfill them." Qiao Lan stared at Yin Wanying, "Xiao Tang, are you still there?"
She wasn't afraid of Xiao Tang's ghost, but the little girl's ghost. Ghost stories say that the ghosts of children and brides are evil spirits.
"...Yes, Sister Lan, my wish is that you can live well forever, and I can share your life with you so that we can enjoy life together."
Yin Wanying's face twisted for a moment, but she quickly adopted Xiao Tang's tone and answered Qiao Lan.
"What about your other wishes?" Qiao Lan asked.
"Others...ah!"
"Xiao Tang" suddenly cried out before he could finish his words. Yin Wanying's face quickly deflated, her eyes widened, and she began to shout "Mom" loudly.
It was obviously replaced by the Holy Spirit Little Girl.
"Xiao Tang!"
"Sister Lan, I'm still here. Wait a minute... Ah! Where is my mother? Is she really dead? I don't want her to die. I want to find... Sister Lan, wait a minute. Let me appease the Holy Spirit first... I'm not the Holy Spirit. That's a lie. I am..."
Yin Wanying kept switching roles, and her facial expressions changed rapidly, as if she was schizophrenic.
"Ahhh! All of you, go away! Don't occupy my consciousness!"
She suddenly screamed, knelt down, hugged her head, buried her head in her knees, gasped for breath, and lay there for several minutes.
When he looked up again, his face had finally calmed down, but it was very pale, as white as snow.
Her eyes gradually regained clarity, and she looked at Qiao Lan helplessly: "Oh, did you get scared? I didn't expect this to happen."
She and Xiao Tang had a spiritual connection. Before Xiao Tang left the base, she helped him seal his memory group and showed him some information about the Temple through spiritual communication. At that time, she was still under the control of the Holy Spirit's spiritual mark, which was a very dangerous control. The Holy Spirit could remotely perceive most of her thoughts and cause her harm. Later, during the defense of the base, she sang a war song and betrayed the Temple, and it was the Holy Spirit who remotely sensed and killed her.
So in order to keep it secret and shield Xiao Tang's existence from the Holy Spirit, she sealed the connection with Xiao Tang deep in her spirit. It was not until she met Xiao Tang again today that she reopened the connection and communicated with each other spiritually.
By this time, Xiao Tang had already received the temple's spiritual baptism and name blessing. Although he wasn't a spiritually awakened person, he could still roughly communicate with Yin Wanying using his spiritual power. He told her how to completely kill the Holy Spirit and the monster, and she was to inform Ye Qi.
The powerful spiritual force of the Holy Spirit and the powerful individual combat power of the monster, once fused, would be invincible. The laboratory had specially used the body tissue of the little girl's mother to shape the monster, precisely in anticipation of this powerful fusion.
Therefore, the connection between the two consciousnesses must be destroyed first. The timing of the destruction is very important, and destroying it at the early stage of consciousness fusion will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
At this point, the two are connected, allowing the little girl to kill the monster through a mental connection, but this connection is unstable and can be disrupted and interrupted. Xiao Tang handed the teddy bear to the little girl at this precise moment.
Then, he stimulated and coaxed the little girl to kill the monster that no one could kill.
Then, kill her and completely destroy the possibility of the laboratory controlling her again.
At this point, the "Holy Spirit", the greatest helper for the expansion of the temple believers, and the strongest mutant monster created in the laboratory can be truly eliminated.
Only when the cultists, armed zombies, holy spirits, and half-basilisks are all annihilated can the Earth Temple, wreaking havoc everywhere, be considered finished. If even one remains, the Temple could quickly revive and wreak havoc on the world once again. By then, the normal humans, already suffering heavy casualties, might barely have a chance to catch their breath.
Therefore, it can be said that Ye Qi's victory in the eastern battlefield, Qiao Lan's joint efforts with the mutant beasts to eliminate the armed zombies, and Xiao Tang's elimination of the Holy Spirit and the half-basilisk from within, were all indispensable. A mistake in any link could lead to the failure of the entire situation.
"Everyone worked very hard, shed blood and sacrificed, and narrowly escaped death. But from my personal point of view, perhaps because I was the first person to understand what Mr. Tang was going to do, I feel that he, who entered the temple alone, had the most difficult time, was the bravest, and the most determined."
At this time, Wen Jiaojiao and others noticed the abnormality here and gathered over. After Yin Wanying explained everything, she made this evaluation of Xiao Tang in public.
Those who have not truly been controlled by the Temple's spirit cannot understand the desperate situation it is in. While seemingly illuminated by holy light, in reality, life has been locked away.
Yin Wanying would never forget the fear of having her thoughts constantly monitored, and she knew even more how difficult it was to keep a secret under surveillance. Furthermore, Xiao Tang's control was even stronger than hers; he had been baptized with a given name. The Holy Spirit, taking advantage of his light shield's ability to protect his flesh and blood, allowed him to get close, giving him the opportunity to complete his undercover mission, but also completely controlling his mind.
How had he managed to maintain his secrets and stick to his original resolve amidst all-encompassing control? Yin Wanying didn't know, and couldn't imagine. Away from the Holy Spirit, she'd only dared to waver a bit in Ye Qi's base, hesitating and indecisive. But Xiao Tang, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, had remained true to his original aspirations. She could only sigh in admiration.
He is not a spiritual awakener, but he can withstand the mental control with his willpower alone?
"Mr. Tang, very impressive."
"I don't care how powerful he is, I only care whether he really exists!"
Qiao Lan dragged his exhausted and seriously injured body and rolled back from a few meters away. He rushed to Yin Wanying and grabbed her hand tightly.
"Sister Yin, my dearest sister, you weren't possessed by a ghost just now, right? I understand. It was Xiao Tang who once had a spiritual connection with you, so it was his remaining spiritual consciousness that spoke with you just now, right? In a sense, he is still alive, not dead yet! Can you make him speak again? This spiritual power won't disappear immediately, right? Will it? Will it? Will it dissipate? Can you protect it and not let it disappear?!"
Qiao Lan said a lot in one breath. Because she was seriously injured and weak, this rapid-fire talk almost made her faint from exhaustion.
But her lips trembled, her eyes widened, and she stared at Yin Wanying eagerly and nervously, refusing to faint, just waiting for an answer.
"Well……"
Yin Wanying looked embarrassed.
She understood Qiao Lan's feelings very well.
But, not to mention that she didn't know how long Xiao Tang's remaining consciousness could last, even if it could be preserved, then... would she give up her body and let Xiao Tang's consciousness take over? Would she become Xiao Tang and accompany Qiao Lan forever? Or, sometimes she would be herself, sometimes Xiao Tang, and live a double life from now on?
"...Is it difficult to do?"
Seeing Yin Wanying's embarrassment, Qiao Lan's eyes dimmed and he let go of her hand.
"I'm sorry, I was too impatient. I should be content to hear Xiao Tang speak again here with you. Thank you, Sister Yin, thank you for sealing the memory group, and thank you for the spiritual connection."
Xiao Tang is dead. It's time to accept reality and stop harboring any illusions. Qiao Lan grinned and gave Yin Wanying a grateful smile.
Oh my, how cute! Yin Wanying's heart ached when she saw Qiao Lan's sad smile.
Putting aside all her concerns, she immediately said, "Don't be sad. I will definitely help you preserve Mr. Tang's remaining consciousness. Although I don't know how long it will last, I will try my best to make it last as long as possible."
She doesn't want to see the little cutie sad!
"Really? Is it okay?" Qiao Lan's eyes lit up again, and the brilliant light made Yin Wanying intoxicated.
"Okay, I'll try!" She hugged her.
"Sister Yin! That's awesome!"
The two hugged each other tightly, and Qiao Lan burst into tears again.
Huge sorrow and joy intertwined together, Qiao Lan burst into tears, and at this moment she just wanted to vent.
So she didn't wipe her tears and let them flow.
The sticky snot fell on the back of Yin Wanying's neck. Yin Wanying's body stiffened. Uh...
Then I felt relieved.
My little cutie’s snot smells sweet, please let it fall as much as you want!
roar--
Awww——
The beasts were galloping. After receiving the report from Gray Pigeon, the Black Cloud Legion returned and came to the battle scene at the Temple Base again.
Ouyang Mo and others also came with them, carried by large beasts.
"Qiao Lan, are you hurt?!"
As soon as Ouyang Mo arrived, he rushed towards Qiao Lan with his first aid kit.
He hated himself at this moment.
Why wasn't he an awakener, but just an ordinary person? Ordinary people could only stay behind, unable to fight alongside Qiao Lan! He couldn't help her fight, and he didn't know she was injured, so he couldn't treat her immediately!
"Hey, wait a minute."
When Ouyang Mo ran past her anxiously, Wen Jiaojiao reached out and grabbed him.
