Chapter 258: Scene 8 (Inverted V) You want to close down the ideal country? ...
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
After a moment of silence, the young men, holding back their tears, said:
"Captain, long time no see, welcome home!"
“…” He Yuezhe didn’t say anything. She looked at them and smiled.
Welcome home. Yes, they have walked in this world for so long, each carrying their own responsibilities. Now, they can finally stop for a while and meet again. Finally, they can be together. Finally, they can go home.
"Xiaozhe, long time no see, I missed you so much!"
"Captain, you idiot, what if you get yourself involved?"
"Captain, woooo ...
"Captain, congratulations."
The four girls and boys hugged He Yuezhe while crying.
"Ah!" He Yuezhe staggered in their embrace and nearly fell. She patted the people who were crying breathlessly and said, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Do you miss me that much?"
"Yeah!" Chen Shu looked at He Yuezhe with her bright eyes, looking pitiful. He Yuezhe couldn't help but touch her head.
Tang Xiqin jumped back when she heard this: "No! It's just, it's just..."
Then He Yuezhe also touched her head. She lowered her head and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Ban Weile took a few steps back and gestured with his hands: "Yes, Captain, we miss you so much!"
Yuan Yang didn't say anything. He looked at He Yuezhe, nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh," He Yuezhe sighed as he looked at his friends who were so affectionate, "It seems I'm very charming, right?"
"Yes, Xiaozhe is the most charming!" Chen Shuo praised blindly.
Ban Wei Le also laughed: "Yes, the captain is very charming!"
Tang Xiqin looked at Chen Shuo and Ban Weile, who weren't exactly sycophants but were just as obsessed, and held her forehead with her hand: "You two, that's enough."
"Well, I think we can talk about these things slowly after we get home. Captain, we only know that there seems to be a tower here, but we don't know what it is used for. Do you have any idea?" Yuan Yang took over the conversation and changed the subject stiffly and asked.
"Hmm?" He Yuezhe was gazing at the indoor playground while eating marshmallows. He turned around and said, "Oh, this is the fifth floor of a clock tower."
"Clock tower?" Chen Shuo asked. "But it's so big here. Normally, the space in a clock tower shouldn't be this big, right? And this is the fifth floor, so what is the space downstairs used for?"
"This is indeed a clock tower, but I don't know why there's such a large space inside," He Yuezhe replied. "As for the spaces downstairs, uh, the reception hall provides computing power and houses computers. Also, the passage you came here through is also the passage that leads the system to the platform."
When they talked about this, the four of them laughed awkwardly.
"Oh, come to think of it, I haven't taken good care of you guys yet. Coming from such a dangerous place, are you hurt? Hmm? Let me take a look?"
"Hey, hey, hey, we're fine! Nothing happened at all!" the four of them shouted in unison.
He Yuezhe glanced at them suspiciously: "Is this true? You're not hurt?"
"real!"
“…”
It's so fake, you can tell it's fake at first glance.
He Yuezhe looked at the four people silently, but did not expose them. He just smiled softly and took a bite of the strangely colored marshmallow.
"Well, then you're not hurt," she said.
Since they didn't want her to worry, there was no need for her to expose them. Anyway...
"Wait, there's something wrong with you."
"What?"
"He Yuezhe, you, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from us?" Tang Xiqin grabbed He Yuezhe's hand and forced her to look at her.
He Yuezhe blinked and said nothing.
"Captain, if there is really something wrong, we can help you. You know our abilities and you should trust us." Yuan Yang walked over.
“…”
Tang Xiqin let go of her hand and looked at He Yuezhe angrily.
"Captain, I know you're very, very good to us and you want to protect us, but Captain, we also want to stand on the same front with you!" Ban Wei Le said sullenly, "We don't want to be just friends who are protected by you, but friends who can fight alongside you!"
“…”
"He Yuezhe, you said before that you don't like us lying to you, even if it's hurt, even if there's something sad going on. So what about this time?" Tang Xiqin asked, "We're friends, aren't we?"
“…”
"Xiaozhe." Chen Shu also came over. She carefully took He Yuezhe's hand without saying much, but He Yuezhe could see the reluctance and worry in her eyes.
Maybe it's because we've been apart for too long, and my friends are now overly worried about my condition, and they're easily irritated.
"Ah." He Yuezhe sighed and shrugged, "Why, you guys, you don't really think I'm going to abandon you to do something?"
"Well, how should I put it? At the beginning, I did think about whether I should separate from you. So when I first came here and saw you, I was in the mood to say goodbye to you."
"But," He Yue curled the corners of her mouth, "after meeting you, I suddenly realized..."
In this case, how can she feel at ease to let them separate from her?
"…What did you find?"
"I found that you guys can't seem to leave me."
"Xiaozhe..."
"What..."
"team leader……"
“…”
"So, I thought I'd give it a try and see your reaction. I didn't expect you to react so strongly."
"Then," He Yuezhe smiled helplessly, "I have no choice but to take you with me."
"Xiaozhe, what's the matter?" Chen Shu's eyes were already filled with tears.
"yes……"
“Knock, knock.”
"Wait, I'll go open the door first."
"Squeak."
“…”
"It seems you have made your choice." Shuzi's voice was flat. She sat in a wheelchair and looked up at He Yuezhe.
Shuzi, it seems that she had guessed that I would do this a long time ago, or rather, it was she who instigated me to do this.
"I hope you do too." He Yuezhe looked at her unfathomable eyes, walked to the back of her wheelchair, pushed her wheelchair, and walked in front of the four people.
"Let me introduce you to this person, whom you have met before, the king of the Utopia, Lin Shuzi."
"Hello." Shuzi waved to the four people.
"Hello." The four of them responded politely.
"It just so happens that the thing I'm talking about is what Shuzi asked me to help with," He Yuezhe said, "Shuzi, I want them to come with us, is that okay?"
"Of course. The more people involved, the better." Shuzi nodded.
"Could you please tell them?"
"Well, no trouble."
"This matter can actually be summed up in just a few simple words: 'Save humanity, save the world.'"
"You all know that the purpose of Utopia's existence is to save humanity, and our initial employees are a group of electronic life forms from all over the timeline. They are willing to lend a hand to humanity, which is great, but it can only delay humanity's death as it is now."
"If we want to completely save humanity and save the world, we must defeat them, that is, the group of things entrenched in the sky above the world."
Shuzi's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"I know this goal is far away and empty. Moreover, once you embark on this path, there is no way to turn back. Perhaps after a lifetime, only a small part of this goal will have been achieved. People in the future will not remember your name, and your life will have been ruined here."
"Have you really decided?"
"..." The four of them looked at each other, then looked at He Yuezhe, then nodded and said firmly, "We have decided."
"As long as I'm with Xiaozhe, I can do anything." Chen Shuo said.
"This is the goal she wants to achieve, so I will accompany her," said Tang Xiqin.
"I will always stand with the captain," said Ban Weile.
"I believe her." Yuan Yang said.
"You guys..." Shuzi, who was always calm, was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she smiled and said, "Okay."
"What does 'okay' mean?" He Yuezhe wondered.
"That's right, I never thought, I never thought, that the kind of friends, the kind of friendship you described, actually exists."
"Do you think I'm lying to you?"
“…”
"Okay, tell me about your plan."
"My plan," Shuzi said, "well, this is it. Since you are all only in soul state now and not in electronic soul state, you won't be able to stay here for long."
"As for Utopia, I've indeed received many letters recently saying that our method of salvation is too cruel. Well, that was also due to my inconsiderateness at the time. However, there are still many electronic souls here..."
"Wait," He Yuezhe interrupted her, "You want to close down Utopia?"
"You don't have to worry. Whether Utopia is closed or not will not affect our plans," said Shuzi.
"...Then, after we leave, what will happen to you and those electronic lives and electronic souls?"
"We? Well, I told you before that I am related to them. So, even without the Utopia, my current self is enough for us to exist together in the sky above the world. In other words, the same thing as them."
He Yuezhe understood what she meant: "Are you planning to sneak into them?"
"Yes," Shuzi nodded, "So, whether the Utopia is closed or not will only have something to do with you humans. That's why I'm putting this choice in your hands."
"you……"
Shuzi's madness was beyond He Yuezhe's imagination.
She was actually willing to become the same as them, which means that in the future, when they were destroyed, she would be destroyed along with them.
This road is indeed too difficult to walk on. It is difficult to walk on and requires the sacrifice of many people.
He Fangying, Jiang Ruoshi, Shuzi, and many other unknown people.
And now, my friends and I have also embarked on this path.
He Yuezhe understood the importance of the ideal country. It had indeed saved many people from disaster, but its drawbacks were equally obvious. It made these people despair, and then they could be reborn.
This choice may be crucial for mankind.
“…”
"He Yuezhe, do you have an answer?"
"I think," He Yuezhe pulled herself out of her thoughts and slowly raised her head, "I have the answer."
