[Yes, we are humans who evolved from barbarism. We should not become a group of animals fighting each other just because of a game...]
【We help each other and overcome the difficulties together. That’s right, we are all the future! 】
【……】
To the sound of the piano, people slowed down their pace and lowered their voices.
The flow of people at the four doors seemed to have reached its final stage. The clock pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, and the waiting time was about to end.
As more than half of the empty chairs in the conference room were occupied, the piano music was coming to an end.
Marjorie counted and found that there were seventy-three people sitting in the conference room, more than thirty of them were wearing formal attire, and a few were wearing what seemed to be uniforms of some organization.
There should be at least thirty players from the top 100 in the world.
As the piano music flowed, a middle-aged man with a silver star on his shoulder slowly walked onto the stage from the empty seat at the round table.
His posture is as tall and straight as a poplar tree, and his smile is as friendly as the sun, giving people a strong sense of closeness.
"Good evening, everyone."
There was no long speech or list of greetings; his opening remarks were simple and sharp, and successfully drew applause.
Some players who appeared drowsy and dressed like gangsters also seemed to become interested and sat up from their slumped chairs.
Mizushima Kawashima, who was wearing a kimono embroidered with light pink cherry blossoms, raised her head. Above her knees, a long black sword was placed horizontally.
There was a seat reserved next to her, but there was no one sitting there at this moment. There was just a bouquet of blood roses there, as if waiting for someone.
"Everyone is welcome to take some time out of your busy schedule to attend the Humanity Future Self-Saving Conference initiated by the United Group." The man on the stage continued:
“Thanks to the world’s top players who came to the conference and the support of the sponsoring coalition.”
"I am Wilson, a former staff officer of the Operations Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Eagle State, with the rank of Brigadier General, and the military branch of the Eagle State Marine Corps."
"…But, these are all things of the past."
"Now, I am Wilson, the head of the United Group, and the initiator of this meeting."
“We are gathered here for a common goal.”
"This is not a one-man show for me. On the contrary, I am just a guide. The United Group believes that everyone here has their own ideas and encourages everyone to speak freely."
"This conference will be broadcast live in its entirety. The live broadcast room is fully open to one billion people. The live broadcast has already begun."
“If those who did not attend the meeting have any suggestions or comments on this meeting, you are welcome to raise them in the live broadcast room or organize them in the World Forum.”
Having said this, he paused slightly.
The piano music continued, high and surging, like a flag gradually unfurling, and his powerful words seemed especially loud and heavy.
Driven by the applause, even the lazy players raised their hands and clapped a few times.
They also seemed to feel the weight of this organization that calls itself a "human self-help organization" and takes "allowing more people to live better" as its program.
"——Here, we would like to thank the initiator, the United Group, the General Staff, the General Political Department, the General Security Department, the General Science and Technology Department, and the General Liaison Department for their support. We would like to thank the Human Self-Saving Research Group for their technical support, and the members of the Evergreen Universities, Independent Studies Institutes, major multinational research institutes of the World Research Center, and central research institutes of various countries for their technical support."
"One billion people work together to share the same fate."
"The sun and the stars fill the sky."
“——This is the worst of times, and the best of times.”
“Before the meeting started, the joint delegation had compiled the main topics and related arguments of the meeting into a book, bound it, and placed it in front of every participant.
In the later meeting, we will discuss the topics in the order written in the booklet.
Meeting recorders are in place and will record the entire meeting and write down what each speaker says.
The conference will be broadcast live throughout, and its current popularity has reached 600 million, the highest in history.
Countless eyes, endless people, are watching us, and we are closely related to them.
Please be mindful of the impact while speaking freely."
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed.
“However, before the meeting begins, there is one person we need to thank.
Thanks to him - before the human self-rescue organization was established, before the panicked people could gather in time, he stood up and became a goal that countless people followed and worked hard for.
At the opening ceremony, his words inspired people, and along the way, his theories have become the standard recognized by many people today.
No matter what the future holds, his contributions will be indelible.
Until he fails, he will always be the biggest contributor to the overall score progress bar, the pillar of the free sky, and the guide for the future of mankind. "
Marjorie's eyes were filled with surprise and her mouth opened slightly.
…She seemed to understand who Wilson was talking about.
Edward raised his head and Mizushima Kawashima clenched the long sword.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction Wilson was looking.
Three of the four doors were closed, leaving only one large door open.
"At the same time... we also want to thank him," Wilson smiled, "for bringing us a passionate song called "Destiny" before the meeting—"
“Even if they are far away from home, humans always love their homeland.”
"The mountains and rivers are different, but the wind and moon are the same."
As he spoke, the piano music that had been playing came to an end and stopped completely.
The last sound of pause was like the clashing of metal and iron, revealing an extremely awe-inspiring meaning.
The song "Destiny" has reached its end.
A figure slowly appeared in front of the open door.
He faced the light in the room, as if bathing in it, with a slender figure.
The young man in a white suit walked into the room under everyone's gaze.
The halo was like the flapping of a white dove's wings or the circulation of a stream, slowly flowing into his dark eyes and circulating in his eyes with clear light.
Under the dim light, his exceptionally deep eyes revealed a kind of approachable gentleness and tolerance.
Marjorie looked into the young man's eyes and was dazed for a moment.
She suddenly felt her heart beating very fast, as if feathers were flying around in her chest.
Under the bright lights of the conference room, his eyes were still as pure as gemstones, with a natural warmth. He simply stood there, and his whole body was like the sun, naturally glowing.
Such people are born to be in the light.
Countless eyes were staring at the door, as if turning it into a pilgrimage center.
She looked at the young man who made everyone speechless for a moment and seemed to be immersed in light, and suddenly remembered a sentence.
"We are all watchers chasing the dawn."
…
"——And some people are born to be guides in the darkness."
