Chapter 252 Scene 2 (Inverted V) Look, the flowers are blooming again...
The girl was wearing the same white robe as He Yuezhe, with her exposed skin covered in bandages. She was thin, her face was pale, and her long black hair hung down.
"Hello, He Yuezhe."
She said very softly, "We finally meet."
"You..." He Yuezhe looked at her, "It's you."
"Yeah." The girl forced a smile. She turned around and said to the Mirror, "Mirror, please step aside for a moment."
The Mirror didn't say anything else, but just turned into a pool of liquid and fell to the ground, then disappeared without a trace.
“…”
The liquid in the garden then slowly gathered towards the center of the garden where the [mirror] disappeared, gradually condensing into a round water ball, floating in the air.
The floor became clean and spotless.
The girl looked at He Yuezhe and said, "Push me for a walk."
"……good."
“…”
“…”
He Yuezhe once heard her grandmother say that wheelchairs were tools used by people in the old world when they had injured their legs and couldn't walk.
"Are you from the Old World?" she then asked.
The girl nodded: "Yeah."
When you push the wheelchair, the wheels rub against the ground, making a squeaking sound.
"The old world, is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful? What is beautiful?"
“…”
"At that time, our country was full of people, but the wealth was unevenly distributed. Some could live in multi-story villas and enjoy fine wine and delicious food, while others could only squeeze into a small brick house with several families, and food and clothing were still a problem."
"As for those of us caught in the middle, our families told us to study hard or we would have no future. So, we studied like crazy, day and night."
"Every day I stayed in that dark classroom, with my desk and desks piled high with papers, textbooks, and study materials. Every day when I opened my eyes, I would memorize words."
"Some people couldn't bear it and jumped off the building. When they saw her body, people didn't say she was under too much pressure or felt sorry for her. They asked why she died at such a critical moment before the college entrance examination. All her previous efforts were wasted, and other students were delayed."
“…”
"Later, because of her situation, the school had a short break for a few days. That was the first time I wasn't worried about tomorrow's exam, whether I'd oversleep, or whether I'd fall behind in knowledge if I slept a little longer. I had a really good night's sleep."
"But," the girl lowered her head, "it was in this sleep, in this dream, that I dreamed of a tsunami that struck the world. No city was spared, and everyone died. Either they were swallowed by the sea, starved to death, or were killed."
“…”
"After I woke up, my phone, which is now called a communicator, started talking. It looked at me and told me that my dream was true and that the predicted tsunami would really come in three months."
“…”
"I followed its instructions, trying to save the world little by little. But this goal was too huge, too huge, as huge as a mountain, and I was the Yugong in the story, trying to move it on my own."
“…”
“…”
"I'm not someone who gives up easily. On the contrary, I'm very stubborn. I always believe that since God has told me that disaster is coming, I will definitely find a way to stop it."
"But just when I thought I had succeeded, that I had successfully stopped the tsunami and saved the world, I was walking on the road and was hit by a car."
"When I woke up again, I was already three months ago, back to the day my best friend jumped off the building."
“…”
“…”
"Afterwards, I repeated my previous actions, trying to save the world once again, but I failed. I failed completely."
"The day of the tsunami finally came, from coastal cities to inland areas and even the plateau."
"I could only watch little by little, unable to do anything."
“…”
“…”
The girl's voice was calm: "Until the day I was about to die, two voices sounded in my mind."
"A voice said, 'I discovered them, I awakened them, and they will work with me to fulfill my long-cherished wish, to save the world, save humanity, and at the same time, save me.'"
"And the other voice just smiled softly and said thank you for saving their world. Thanks to me, they were able to destroy humanity and take over the world."
“…”
"The first voice is these electronic life forms."
"To be honest, I found that their actions were completely unintentional. I didn't expect them to go to such lengths for humans."
"As for the second voice, that is, the 'they' that are hovering over the new world right now."
“…”
"You know everything that happened later," the girl said. "They saved me, and I became the first spiritual master of the Electronic Spiritual Transmigration Platform. I saved the souls of many people who died in the tsunami, and eventually I also saved myself, becoming a digital life form like them, living here forever."
"As an electronic lifeform, I can only see this vastly changed new world through the eyes of those who have come to the platform and returned to their original world."
"In the new world, humans are oppressed. Every day they struggle to survive, treading the fine line between morality and survival," the girl sighed softly. "I've seen many people kill their loved ones just to stay alive, and I've also seen many others lose their lives because of a moment of weakness."
"This world is truly horrible, sad, and pitiful."
"So, if you insist, neither the old world nor the new world is beautiful."
"But, as you have seen, and as I have seen, whether it is the new world or the old world, even if they are not beautiful, there are always people who hold on to hope and bravely walk their own path."
“…”
“…”
"He Yuezhe, what do you think constitutes a world?"
The girl turned her head, and her black eyes reflected He Yuezhe, the garden, and the entire world. They were cruel yet sparkled with subtle beauty.
He Yuezhe was stunned for a moment before answering, "What makes up a world is... people."
"Yes," the girl sat back down, "the world is made up of people. It's me, it's you, it's us, it's everyone. So, even if the world isn't beautiful, so what? As long as we work hard and make it beautiful, isn't that enough?"
“…”
"I know that my approach to saving humanity may not be the right one, but this is the best method I can think of right now."
"...Are they really invincible?"
"What?" The girl was obviously shocked by He Yuezhe's sudden words, but after coming to her senses, she said, "No, they can be defeated."
“…”
“That’s my goal.”
The girl's back was thin but strong, and her terrifying and powerful sense of belief made He Yuezhe stunned.
"That's why I found you."
“…”
"He Yuezhe, are you willing to join me in defeating them, killing them, and restoring peace to the world?"
"I……"
"Look, the flowers are blooming again."
"What……?"
Looking back, He Yuezhe discovered that the flowers on both sides of the road where they had walked, which had originally withered, were now blooming again, in full bloom and extremely brilliant.
"Flowers may bloom again, but people never become young again," the girl's voice came. "These flowers, like our world, will eventually become beautiful. However, compared to them, our time is so short."
“…”
"I know that maybe we won't be able to truly defeat them even if we spend our entire lives, and maybe all our efforts will eventually be lost in the long river of time. But I want to try, I want to do it, even if the success rate is only 0.00001%."
“…”
"It's not me, it's us," the girl said, pushing the wheelchair to He Yuezhe's side. "He Yuezhe, I think you should understand how powerful unity is."
“If I fall, there will be thousands and thousands of me walking on this road, over my dead body, until death, until the end of this road.”
He Yuezhe tilted his head and looked at the girl.
The girl's eyes were determined, and her bandaged hands were stretched out towards her.
"He Yuezhe, are you willing?" she asked.
"I..." He Yuezhe trembled all over, "I, am willing."
"Welcome, then."
"Buzz—"
He Yuezhe's hand held the girl's hand, the pure white energy and the colorful energy collided with each other, huge energy waves spread out, and the strong wind lifted the hair of both of them. They saw themselves in each other's eyes, that was the unswerving self that was not affected by anything and was always strong.
"Welcome to join the ideal country." The girl smiled.
Utopia, utopia, originally this is what it means, an ideal country, an ideal world.
"Thank you." He Yuezhe also smiled, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you... No, it's nothing."
"nothing?"
"Nothing? Well, okay then."
“…”
"Don't you have any questions for me?"
"Can I ask?"
"Of course, we are partners."
"Well, then, do the colors have any special meaning here?"
He Yuezhe pushed the girl and the two continued to stroll in the garden.
"Colors," the girl said, "Pure white represents the Utopia, and the seven colors represent humanity, all of humanity. They will embellish the Utopia and the world."
He Yuezhe suddenly realized and asked, "What about the lullaby?"
"Lullaby, oh, yes, you heard it." The girl thought for a moment and said, "Lullaby is what people hear before they die, that is, before they are liberated. It is used to separate the body and the soul, and sometimes it can also serve as a comfort before death."
"Consolation before death... Then how did it get out?"
"Well, it's like this. Just like your grandmother He Fangying, our platform actually provides two paths for salvation masters. One is to choose to stay and become a target of salvation, and eventually ascend electronically. The other is to give them skills and send them back to their original world. I think this is probably how the lullaby spread."
"Those skills are very powerful."
"Yes, it is very powerful, but the power of a skill is generally determined by the karma generated by people's words, actions, and thoughts."
“…”
"Come to think of it, your grandmother came in twice, and both times she took away some very powerful skills."
Speaking of He Fangying...
"So, what happened to the original owners of the bodies that were possessed by the salvation masters?"
"The original owners, they were able to become the original owners because they all voluntarily gave up their lives and gave up their bodies. As for later, they all became electronic life forms and are now in the ideal country."
"Voluntarily gave up my life", so, He Fangying, do you really want to use death to make me "grow up" no matter what?
With a light laugh, He Yuezhe asked again, "By the way, there's also sand. What does it represent? I've seen it in many worlds."
"Sand? You met sand?" The girl turned around in surprise.
"Yes, shouldn't it appear?"
"Not only should it not appear, it..."
"Buzz—"
"Hello, both of you."
"Who?!" He Yuezhe turned his head vigilantly and looked at the crack in the sky that was forcibly torn open.
In the crack, an unspeakable eye was staring straight at them.
"Be careful!" The girl grabbed He Yuezhe's hand, "It's them!"
