Chapter 30
The audience praised the food while rummaging around in storage boxes in the hope of finding more food.
Unexpectedly, not long after this comment was sent, the automatic video update prompt set by Chu Zhao popped up on time, and then -
It’s the same BGM from “The Fall of Gods” again, which makes the audiences who have been waiting for a long time feel numb!
The BGM of "The Fall of Gods" is a mechanical piano piece, which was composed by a composer under the artificial intelligence assistance system of Jingwei. There is only one piano tone in the whole piece, which is thin, dense and light, like the sound of snow falling.
With this background music, time seems to fall along with the shadows of snow, looking light and floating, while the sound of "tat tat tat" of fine snow pressing on snow seems so heavy.
This is a story in the same space and time as "Godfall".
People don't even need to look closely at the background to find out: the Suspension Hall is high in the clouds, the conference room is full of generals, and the faces of the two marshals in the lead are blurred and there is no voice.
In the exhibition hall there is Marshal Ying Ying’s mecha.
There is no epilogue. This is the future that can be glimpsed through the cracks of time in the blink of an eye. The audience's heart instinctively tightens, but they can't help but wonder if this is the future that the curling smoke wants them to see?
What will the future be like?
In fact, there is no difference. Chu Zhao is very good at randomly grabbing one or two typical clips from unfamiliar spaces to bring the audience closer to the author.
This video is also the same. Even though she has no clear concept of the future and cannot even be considered a traditional interstellar person, she still introduces them to a very beautiful era in the flashing mechanical fragments:
There everyone is full of spiritual strength, and the whole area is calm and peaceful.
There, a blue holographic screen floats above the dome, but the crowds passing through will not stop for scandals or farces; the media focuses only on endangered plants and animals and precious fragments lost in history.
There are also scholars who study the changes in historical military-domain relations, and they are paying close attention to this. In the bright and clean conference room, a video is also being played on the spherical screen surrounding it.
People outside the video also know the historical significance of this mountain: at that time, the borders of the East and West Regions were fragmented, and the Zerg threat had not yet been completely resolved. It was in the Wenquan Mountain in the Western Region that Marshal Ying Ying grasped the key situation of turning defeat into victory and defeated the Zerg.
But there is something that the "non-future" people don't know. On the spherical screen, the barrage of comments is more numerous, lighter, and more transparent, as if a nebula from the future is condensing, and they are crying.
"Marshal Ying Ying made a special stop at Wenquan Mountain when he was touring the Eastern Region (tears)"
“Ahhh why did I have to eat this expired food when Ying Pei was in be (crying)? At that time, Admiral Zuo Lin asked Marshal Ying about her wishes, and she said to be buried in Wenquan Mountain ahhhhh”
"People will die if they are stabbed by a sword. Others want Marshal Ying to stay in the Black Tower and watch over the East Region forever, to be a free visionary. However, Marshal Ying has fought all his life, and he just wants to sleep peacefully in the place he mentioned (tears)"
"Ying Pei is really so miserable"
This comment opened the floodgates for comments:
"When they were young, they became partners because of their equal talents. Later, they fought separately for the stability of the nebula. They missed the opportunity. Even until long after their death, many people thought they were just enemies and that their time as partners in their youth was just a passing fancy (tears)"
These words hit the audience's hearts like a heavy hammer, and then their chests began to feel more and more uncomfortable because of the endless barrage of comments from the "future".
"Yes, it wasn't until long after they died that anyone was willing to look through those old communication records! I will always remember the shock that the "Happily Ever After" fanfiction brought to me. Although the paper on the changes in the relationship between the East and West was the beginning of the era when everyone started to support the Pei CP, "Happily Ever After" was so heartbreaking that I still burst into tears when I think about it now."
"The worst thing for a person is that the couple is completely broken and they are misunderstood for a lifetime before they suddenly realize that they are in love (crying)"
“Similarly, the most poignant thing about ‘Happily Ever After’ is not that in the end the two marshals realized their dreams and were buried in a peaceful and stable nebula, but that from the moment their partner badges that proved their identity as partners were found, their feelings for each other were revealed to the world. From the beginning to the end, perhaps until their death, they did not realize, did not know at all, that the other might have their own feelings in their hearts…”
"I committed sins in my previous life and I defeated Pei in this life (tears)"
"After watching Happily Ever After, I even felt like I could accept that they sacrificed themselves for the Nebula, but I couldn't accept that they didn't know each other's feelings until they died. I couldn't accept that they were misunderstood for a hundred years until the paper came out and no one took it seriously. They never hated each other, and they didn't want to kill each other."
"Ying Pei has a hellish joke. One year, Marshal Pei wished Marshal Ying a long life. This was a sarcastic remark to mock her for monopolizing power and leading the troops every year. Later, archaeologists really found letters between Ying and Pei wishing each other peace (manual goodbye)"
"That wasn't even a letter. It was just a note written down in the communication. Jingwei was the smartest artificial intelligence of that era. He didn't lose these records, but he forgot to convey them to her and the person he loved most."
“Looking at the history, I was really pissed off by the hatred between the East and West regions. But when I saw that they really realized their long-cherished wish after their death, I felt that they must have felt it was worth sacrificing their own happiness in exchange for the current harmony. I just can’t help but feel sorry for them (burst into tears)”
"We can never meet again in this life, but why is my Ying Pei still slandered and criticized after his death? Why is it that only now, the people around him or even us a hundred years later, know that the truth is not like this? Why is it so painful?"
"Stop talking, I'm going to cry myself silly"
"A lot of Ying Pei's communication records have been lost over the years, and those that have been preserved are extremely accidental (the old antiques did not have enough storage and would automatically delete unimportant surveillance content). But we can still see that they actually have a very good relationship. I can't imagine what those people and others are thinking when they are guessing about them."
“Are you afraid that the other person will misunderstand you? Are you also thinking about what you want to say but can’t say it? Are you also dying with the regret that the other person might hate you?”
“These clips are their most precious daily life ahhh (one burst into tears)”
Some people who don't want to be stabbed posted compressed files and links below to show their love for the show. Some people shared the bionic people acting and holographic movies that have been newly legislated in recent years.
"Although the characterization is still a bit stiff, I still feel comforted when I think about how they couldn't meet privately before and watched the movie."
"I originally wanted to make everyone happy but I still want to cry when I see this. I really want them to do all the things they didn't have the time or the chance to do."
“It’s a pity that people don’t have reincarnation and can only return to stardust. Otherwise, could they be reincarnated as ordinary people in the next life? Without so many responsibilities and such high talents, they are just childhood sweethearts who grew up hand in hand on a planet. She snapped her fingers just to teach you how to skip classes, and your greatest rebellion was just to turn your head to see her waving at you in the window while sitting on the hover capsule during class.”
"Stop it, stop it. The couple has already broken up and it's bad enough. Are you human beings still throwing glass shards here?!"
"But it's such a pity. In fact, looking back at the history of Nebula over the years, I have seen many heroic people, some of whom have sacrificed their entire lives for Nebula. But Ying Pei has already reached the top of Nebula. They could have done whatever they wanted."
“Besides, this isn’t a human obstacle. Who is the bad guy and isn’t worthy of whom? History is really too heavy and too difficult to reverse. What else can we do if we don’t separate? Why do we have to let them be the marshals when the East and West domains have just settled down?”
"I watched the movie, but for me, no matter how good the movie is, it is not as good as the reality where they were really together and knew each other's love and were warm to each other's love, instead of having people see that they loved each other after so many years."
"Regrets are the norm in life, but we were unable to meet in private. All the words were stored in the memory bar of Jingwei that monitored their time together. There was no moment that was not Ying Pei."
"I am crying, there is no solution, it is really too unsolvable"
After countless comments, the camera flickered to a female student typing away. She was typing on a virtual keyboard and sniffing:
"If they were together, how could we have the emotions we have today? But they have never really been together. Even their love, care, and blessings were hidden and never discovered. This is what really breaks people's hearts about Ying Pei."
"Ah, I'm reminded of that song Many Years Later Everyone Will Know That I Love You. I don't want everyone to know, I just want you to know it!"
Not to mention the new humans in the video were sobbing like crazy after being stabbed, and the barrage of comments that came out were like dripping tears. Even the Nebula people outside the video who have not yet arrived in the future themselves were:
Wow (crying) Our Ying Pei is too cruel! If they really didn't end up together and no one knew about it until they died, it would be such a pity!
The female students are still typing:
"But the most touching and heartbreaking thing about this story is that the author of the paper that wrote that the change in the relationship between the East and the West was not as superficial as changing from bad to good, said in the acknowledgments that she discovered this point in the beginning because she found that the communication between Ying and Pei was too abnormal when she was excavating the historical dialogue between them."
The female student typed out several anthropomorphic crying expressions:
"Really? Who would understand? Even though everyone misunderstood during the era of the two marshals Ying and Pei, and even though the misunderstanding and hatred caused by the sacrifice of the two marshals continued in the East and West regions for a long time after their death, there are still people who can understand their insincerity a hundred years later."
"From those few words, I can see their inner sincerity and love. I can see the true heart hidden under the dust of the world. I really, woooooooooooooooooooooooooo."
"I was deeply touched by this point back then, but after so many years of Ying Pei's redress, there are fewer and fewer arguments to prove their hatred, and more and more people believe that they loved each other deeply. How can this not be considered a belated exoneration?"
"I saw a very cruel sentence. I didn't dare to ask you because I knew that my feelings for you were not innocent. So I didn't ask or think about it because I was afraid of being discovered by you."
"In that context, how could I know that the other person had such thoughts? (crying)"
"I shed tears, really. From the moment I supported the double death CP, I endured all these abuses and knives just to look forward to a moment when there will be evidence to tell me that they are not ignorant. Since they can't be together, at least let them understand each other's minds."
“Only now do I realize that they really are relying on a hopeless future to persevere, practicing with nothing else to ask for (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)”
"Cry loudly, let them meet in another time and space, let them have the understanding of the outside world, let them breathe a sigh of relief when the unreasonable history suddenly eases the relationship, let someone appear like a meteor in that era to illuminate their love, let them abandon everything and be together without burden"
"Don't be ignorant, and don't miss out, because the moment you think the other person is great, you are both already suffering from the pain of being loved. TvT"
"At the moment when they thought the other person was good, both of them endured double the love that could not be obtained. This sentence is really good. TvT doesn't want to make trouble for Ying Pei. I am willing to stay here for the rest of my life. I wish them reincarnation and happiness in their next life."
"I don't want you to sacrifice in exchange for a long-term stable and harmonious marriage between the East and the West. I want God to bless me, and I want peace, happiness and smoothness in exchange for mutual understanding and a harmonious marriage (tears)"
May you have a happy marriage forever.
Don't spend your life wandering in the unknown and suffering, or you will miss out completely.
Yes, this is the meaning of Chu Zhao making this video.
When the video "A Hundred Years" came out, it is no exaggeration to say that Chu Zhao scrolled up and down the comment section three times and watched the video three times, but did not see a single comment.
At first, she was so nervous that she bit her nails, thinking that her veiled praise for herself, "crossing this era like a bright meteor," had offended the audience and that no one was buying it.
Unexpectedly, the high-tech and intelligent optical computer shook like a stuck drawer, and then the comments poured down like shredded paper:
Chu Zhao, who was well prepared, was stunned!
She couldn't even read the comments clearly, she could only cover her eyes with pain as she watched the comments fall like snowflakes. The comments here were as tear-jerking as the same BGM as "The Fall of Gods" in "One Hundred Years".
Moreover, there are many people who watched the video many times and cried until they were out of breath before they finally got around to posting comments.
But Chu Zhao was still stuck and his brain was flashing with snow.
The comment section was also very unusual. It was no longer filled with long cries or heart-wrenching comments, but rather long, tearful comments from the heart.
Chu Zhao was so stuck that he finally reached out to grab a line, and saw a viewer crying and typing in a passage of several hundred words:
[Fuck, there's obviously no plot, but I just feel like it's true QAQ As if a hundred years later they will still be misunderstood, and the East and West regions will be proud of the opposition and continue to target each other in their names, but in God's Fall, the peace that can be achieved after Marshal Ying Ying's sacrifice is what they have always dreamed of. He has always dreamed of climbing that white tower with her.]
[When I watched God's Fall, I thought being buried together in the Black Tower was the most believable ending. I was so stupid, really. I should have known that if the person who could cut God's Fall had the heart to let them not see each other for the last time before they died, how could he not have the heart to let them continue to be misunderstood after death? And it is possible that they will continue to be misunderstood in real life, and they will never be understood by each other until (holding my heart) My heart is broken, really]
[The reason I'm knocking Ying Pei might be because of those secret interactions before, but now it's really because of that lingering, vague sense of fate that has been lingering from beginning to end. I didn't expect that even a hundred years later, this fate would still envelop them, allowing them to be discovered by others, but they would have already missed it.]
[What hurts me the most is the sentence "We still figured it out". It makes me cry. How regrettable is it? Even history has already made its final judgment, but someone can see your love through history]
[So Niaoniao Shengyan is really a god ahhhh (tears). I thought it was just CP, it’s just that Ying Pei’s identities are too special and his experiences are too legendary, that’s why it’s so addictive. But after watching this video, I feel that life is really too short and too long. It’s so short that they didn’t have the opportunity to express their feelings throughout their lives, and it’s so long that, looking back a hundred years later, they actually brushed past each other every moment.]
[I really cried until my nose was blocked. Suddenly, I really want to see them meet and talk. Even if it’s just to see them together and keep a memory in mind, it would be fine.]
[I think it’s too exaggerated to see Niaoniao posting comments about people being in the same frame as showing sweets. Now I truly understand what it means to be in the same frame as showing sweets.]
[(tears) (thumbs up) You are this, you are really soft-hearted and cruel, today the water of the Pacific Ocean flows for me]
Chu Zhao just saw this and was sweating. I thought, you guys really misunderstood me. Being in the same frame means showing affection. This is a very normal expression. Even if we are in the same frame, we can still show affection! I am not posting this today to lay a trap.
However, I have to say that there are so many true and sincere comments in the comments section that Chu Zhao himself was a little snorting after watching the video and then reading the comments. He was also sighing in his heart:
So Ying Pei’s sense of be is really strong.
Even though they finally made it through those years apart, they were still really distancing themselves from each other and restraining themselves for Xingyun.
What's more, what she wrote here about a hundred years later was just an ideal assumption. After all, judging from the level of CP support here, she doubted that anyone thought they were soul mates.
Not only will you be separated from your loved ones throughout your life, but you will also be misunderstood and criticized by the people you love, and even be misunderstood by yourself.
How could this not be the reason why she cut one video after another on impulse? Because she didn’t want someone as sensitive as her to see through the silence behind this ease a hundred years later, so she mustered up the courage to continue to break through this window paper even if she was being noticed!
It was because she didn't want them to suffer a hundred years of loneliness before and after their death, so the curling smoke didn't really turn the smoke she saw into dust.
She wanted them to become proof. Immortal proof, to bear witness.
Even though we have been pursuing our ideals all those years and that summer is too far away, we have never forgotten that those two Nebula Medal partner badges belong to us.
And it belongs only to us.
On my personal website, some fans who watched the video once or twice were reluctant to put it down and kept watching it again and again, looking for details and cracking glass shards were still discussing it heatedly.
As a true master painter and a true reader who is a graduate student in the field of military-domain relationship analysis, Zero leaned back and typed the words slowly with a sigh.
[Very shocking.]
Zero didn't do any whitewashing for the first time.
[In this era where love is treated as a pastime and exaggerated in a variety of simple, crude and strong ways, it is surprising that someone can edit such a heart-stirring video without making people feel offended at all. ]
[It doesn't make people feel that we are stupid or arrogant for not noticing their feelings, but it's really a pity for them. Nebula is destined to have such an era, where military generals suspect each other and each military region is independent, but this era will eventually pass, so, what about those who are dragged into it? ]
[Have those who have been swept up by the tide of the times settled their hearts properly? I don't want to be someone who just supports couples. I want to make up for this shortcoming. I want them to know each other, at least not rushing towards that destined future without knowing anything.]
[I don't want them to be left with regret when the meteor didn't pass by. I don't want to be shocked a hundred years later to realize that we had missed out on these two Nebula Honors who were so well matched.]
[They could have a good present. Why can't they have it? ]
[That’s why I said, it’s too shocking, because I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say this, but it’s true that at the beginning, many people just thought they were good to be together, and they came to be together. They didn’t realize that behind this good feeling is the inability of two people to enjoy each other, and it may be a regret that lasts for a hundred years, or it may just be a kiss.]
[There is a paragraph in the postscript that I didn't understand, but now I understand why the adjutant smiled and drank and said, maybe it was just a kiss. It made me feel that this diluted the weight of the relationship between Ying and Pei, but now, I don't feel that way anymore. ]
[Ying Pei's feelings are deep, but if you look closely, it's just a little joke of the times. It only takes a little to make it perfect. Even now, I only have such a small extravagant hope. Let the sugar in those waste films become real, let the cruel history become absurd and imaginary, and let the intimate happiness become the present. ]
【Let them just have this one kiss. 】
【I just want this. 】
Give them a good ending.
The audience in the comment section had already cried, but they couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this sentence.
[Yes, don't miss it, don't miss it]
[I understand what I meant by that. I want to let her see that loving each other from the beginning to the end is just a simple thing. Why did it hinder them for so long? (tears)]
[Yes, I am the same as the century-old audience in the video. I don’t ask them to be together. I just hope that when they are still together, they will truly know and always know that they are not alone. When they love each other, the other party also loves them.]
[When they think the other person is doing well, they should not bear the pain of missing each other alone but know that the person the other person is missing is them]
[Ball Ball, I really only ask for one thing]
A happy marriage for a hundred years. You don't have to wait a hundred years to find out that you two are compatible. You have to know that you and Pei are a perfect match from the beginning, and you have to agree to stay together for a hundred years and live in happiness forever.
