Chapter 127 Chapter 127 End of the text
…
Reality.
A large number of people returned to reality from Vientiane.
The pressure suddenly shifted from the rescue team to the major hospitals.
In order to accommodate all patients as promptly as possible, the military urgently built thousands of temporary quarantine facilities around the world.
Most people can basically be alive and kicking after being kept in the cabin for three to five days.
These people are of low rank and have low needs for guide factors, so they are not deeply affected by Hermann's blood.
Later, after being pulled into Wanxiang by Xia Meng, in that world, they were constantly nourished by Xia Meng's spiritual power without knowing it, and had already recovered most of their strength.
There are also some people who were severely affected, but they have gradually recovered their health with the hospital's careful treatment and conditioning.
Finally, there is a small group of people...
After going berserk, their bodies became so alienated that they even lost their human bodies.
In this situation, there is no way to save the situation with the current level of human medical care.
In the first week after their return, special humans, with the help of ordinary humans, worked hard to return to their original track little by little.
While recuperating and cleaning up the mess, he also bid farewell to his relatives and friends who died in the disaster one by one.
A disaster that could have destroyed the world was finally overcome through the cooperation of many parties, with everyone working together step by step and with difficulty.
After the settlement, the headquarters faction headed by the Dreiser family was ordered to be arrested by the International Tribunal.
At the same time, evidence from all sides flew like snowflakes to the International Procuratorate responsible for public prosecution.
A large amount of evidence has been made public one after another.
It caused an uproar among hundreds of millions of people.
That night, the Black Tower headquarters, which was already in a state of ruin, was set on fire by some angry unknown individuals and burned down to the ground.
The photos of "fire trees and silver flowers" were posted online, attracting a lot of cheers.
Within a few days, the names of Hermann and Lorenzo spread to the streets and alleys all over the world.
When they were the heads of the Black Tower headquarters, they were not necessarily well-known, and many people had not even heard of their names.
Now that they are nailed to the pillar of shame, they have become very popular. While their names are deeply rooted in people's hearts, everyone can't help but spit when they mention them.
For a time, the father and son became the rats crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
Lorenzo was escorted out of Vientiane.
Before he woke up, he was taken into custody by the British military and thrown into a ward in the detention center.
The day he woke up, he was brought to trial.
Hermann never made it out of Vientiane.
As a result, the people's anger was completely directed at Lorenzo alone.
Illegal transactions, operating killer organizations, human smuggling, endangering public safety, endangering humans and special humans... the list of crimes is too long to list.
As evidence became public, the crimes committed by the Dreiser family and some of their followers over the past few decades were revealed one by one.
The number of special humans who were persecuted and the ordinary humans who were innocently dragged into it and lost their lives... is countless.
The International Tribunal for Criminal Justice is located in the United Kingdom and follows British criminal law.
Given that the UK had long abolished the death penalty, the maximum sentence was 30 years. However, Lorenzo Dreiser was sentenced to life imprisonment as an exception because his crime was too special and serious.
The relevant persons were basically sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.
An ancient family that had existed in Britain for hundreds of years collapsed at this point.
Under the influence of the Dreiser family for decades, the headquarters has long been a rotten shell.
This time, at least two-thirds of the senior management of the headquarters were implicated.
Therefore, when the headquarters was burned down, everyone was shouting that it was a great relief, but the police hardly took any serious action to investigate the arsonist.
Or perhaps, passers-by who witnessed the arson scene spontaneously added more firewood. Since there were so many people involved, it was impossible to investigate and the case was left unresolved.
So the ruins of the headquarters were left there, unattended.
On the day the verdict was announced, countless special humans spontaneously came to the ruins of the headquarters and held a public memorial service for all the innocent victims in the disaster.
It was only then that everyone discovered that a five or six meter high bronze statue had been erected in the middle of the ruins at some point in time.
The bronze statue is a tall upright cross.
In front of the cross, a man was kneeling on the ground with a rope tied around his neck.
The other end of the rope was attached to the cross.
At first glance, it looks like a bronze statue of the traitor Judas.
But if you look more closely, you will find that the man hanging in front of the cross looks exactly like Hermann Dreiser.
really.
Who else but him is the traitor to humanity and special humans?
On the first day the bronze statue appeared, it was splashed with red paint.
In the following days, it was covered with all kinds of garbage.
As a result, the entire headquarters ruins became a huge and famous garbage dump.
Not long after, the Black Tower headquarters was officially deregistered.
After several meetings of the heads of major black towers around the world, a new headquarters, the Beijing Tower, was chosen by vote.
To be precise, it is the Beijing Tower where Li Zhou is.
As one of the greatest contributors to saving special humans and the only S-class Sentinel in existence today, Li Zhou is undoubtedly the only candidate for the next leader of the Black Tower.
——Of course, so many meetings were not held to elect this single candidate.
Instead, Li Zhou never attended any of the meetings.
He even expressed through Zhou Qi that he had no intention of doing so.
As a last resort, the meeting had to be held over and over again.
But when it comes to choosing a leader, after much thought, everyone has only one choice: Li Zhou.
——There is one more.
Another hero, Xia Meng.
Although the outside world does not know, all the people in charge of the Black Tower know it very well.
In the previous special operation, if it weren't for her turning the tide, all the special humans would have been doomed to be wiped out.
Her identity is too special.
Today, her origins are no longer a secret.
She was born into the Dreiser family as a young soldier and later became Hermann's partner.
Later, she appeared in the Beijing Tower, next to Li Zhou, and her purpose was self-evident.
Even until the moment before the disaster, everyone believed that she was undoubtedly one of the accomplices.
But after experiencing everything in Vientiane, the truth is now revealed and people suddenly realize it.
If it weren't for her, no one would have survived.
Without her Vientiane, there would be no possibility for anyone to wake up again.
Later, countless people reviewed the situation over and over again.
If it wasn't her who stopped Hermann at that time, if her superpower was not Vientiane, if her Vientiane was not influenced by her values and subconsciousness and became another peaceful "reality", if she hadn't bravely stood up again in Vientiane - among thousands and thousands of ifs, any slight difference could lead to completely different results.
There was no need for her or anyone else to explain anything.
After analyzing all the possibilities, everyone realized how crucial a role she played in the rescue operation that had just ended.
Justice is in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, when proposing the next leader of the Black Tower, some people also recommended her.
It’s a pity that it’s useless to recommend him.
Because...she hasn't woken up yet.
Yes.
In Vientiane, there are thousands of people who have awakened, and there are also many who have not awakened.
But the person who should have woken up smoothly is still lying in the intensive care unit of Beijing Tower.
All vital signs were normal.
But she didn't wake up for a long time.
The instrument that detected the fluctuation of mental power continued to detect and found that the mental power in her body had dropped to an unprecedentedly weak level.
Without careful examination, one cannot even feel the fluctuation of mental power.
She seemed to have degenerated into an ordinary human being overnight.
Li Zhou actually didn't care whether she was still a guide or not.
He only cared about when she woke up.
He couldn't understand why he was the only one who woke up in reality when they had clearly left Vientiane together?
But he couldn't do anything.
No one knew why, and no one knew how to wake her up.
All he could do was wait.
Three days passed.
A week passed.
A month passed.
When everything in the outside world was about to settle down and the world was slowly recovering from the disaster, she still hadn't woken up.
He stayed by her side every day, accompanying her and waiting for her.
During this period, many friends came to visit me countless times.
Wang Xiangyi has been here, Ou Xu has been here, Su Fangxiao, Zhou Qi and others have been here.
There were even many people whose names he couldn't even remember who came to visit him.
Later, there were so many people coming day after day that they were stopped from entering, so they started giving gifts and flowers.
No one knew who had leaked the news, but people knew that Xia Meng had not woken up yet. So all kinds of gifts of condolence from the outside world began to be sent into the Black Tower continuously, filling the corridors of the guide center.
As a last resort, Li Zhou transferred Xia Meng to a highly confidential private sanatorium on the outskirts of Beijing.
The sanatorium was run by an old classmate of Wang Xiangyi, and its facilities and configurations are the best in every aspect.
There, no one would bother them.
So Li Zhou stayed there and took care of her wholeheartedly.
On New Year's Eve, Wang Xiangyi went to visit.
I brought some dumplings made by my wife.
Xia Meng naturally couldn't eat any of them, so all the dumplings went to Li Zhou.
While Li Zhou was eating, Wang Xiangyi sat down on the other side of the bed and babbled to Xia Meng, "This is beef and scallion filling. Your master made it specially for me. I've heard you talk about wanting this flavor several times before, but unfortunately I never had the time to make it for you. Now that I've finally made it, you didn't get to enjoy it. It seems you really didn't have the chance to enjoy it."
After coming out of Vientiane, the world was shaken for a long time.
All the sentries were trying to digest the memory that had suddenly appeared in their minds.
Of course, not everyone remembers.
Many low-level sentries can't remember what happened in Vientiane at all.
Their spiritual power itself is too weak. After being diluted and dissolved by the myriad things, the memories in the myriad things are diluted. After coming out, there is almost nothing left.
This group of people is probably the happiest.
There are also some people who take a lot of time to barely digest the fact that they have decades of extra memories or even an extra period of life.
It was like a dream, in which they experienced a whole new life.
Among them, some people treat it as a dream, and after laughing, they continue to move forward without looking back.
There are also people who are trapped in the memory of Vientiane. Even when they return to reality, they are still persistently comparing the differences between Vientiane and reality. They are caught in the gap between the two and are in a dilemma.
Wang Xiangyi feels that this is what he is like.
In reality, he is a small captain of the Seventh Special Service Team.
Among all the people in the world, he is a well-known psychiatrist in China and abroad.
The moment he woke up, he couldn't help but ask himself: Why did you take a completely different path in Vientiane?
Is his subconscious mind also telling him to choose a path he likes more?
Is a psychiatrist a better choice?
Wang Xiangyi sighed.
He really wanted to ask Xia Meng, if it were her, what would she choose?
At this time, Li Zhou ate two dumplings and put down the thermal box. He carefully closed the lid again.
Wang Xiangyi: "Why? Not used to it?"
Li Zhou: "No."
He looked at Xia Meng and said softly, "If she wakes up later, she should still be able to have a bite."
Wang Xiangyi hesitated to speak, thinking that Xia Meng had been in a coma for such a long time. Not to mention whether it was likely that she would wake up today, even if she really woke up, she would probably only be able to eat liquid food in the first few days.
"Oh, right." Wang Xiangyi had to change the subject. "Old Zhou asked me to bring you a message."
Li Zhou didn't even raise his head. He adjusted his sitting position and reached out to hold Xia Meng's hand again: "If you want me to take over the Black Tower, then forget it."
Wang Xiangyi was silent. It was indeed the case.
He said silently: "You know, this position can't be occupied by anyone except you or her now."
As for abilities and qualifications, it's easy to talk about them. There are many people who meet the requirements.
The key point is that the incident in Vientiane was too big a deal. Now everyone knows how much Xia Meng and Li Zhou have paid. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the special humans today were rescued by the two of them.
Apart from the two of them, anyone else taking the leadership position would not be convincing enough, let alone reassure the people.
Therefore, this position has remained vacant until now.
Wang Xiangyi sighed and said, "Okay, then leave it empty. When Xiaoxia wakes up, let her worry about it."
Li Zhou: “…”
It’s so tragic. He was still in the hospital bed, but he had already been assigned important responsibilities after waking up.
Wang Xiangyi didn't stay long. He sat for a while and then got up and left.
Before leaving, he signaled to Li Zhou with his eyes, asking him to come out for a while.
Li Zhou was puzzled for a moment, thinking that he was going to say something important, so he nodded, stood up and followed him out the door.
After closing the ward door, Wang Xiangyi pulled him aside.
Li Zhou asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Xiangyi hesitated: "There's something I don't know whether I should tell you."
Li Zhou: "What?"
Wang Xiangyi: "You still remember Cui Yang, right? He's good at predicting that kid."
Li Zhou nodded: "I remember, what's wrong?"
Wang Xiangyi: "Luo Xunfei had gone to see him specifically before, hoping that he could help predict when Xia Meng would wake up."
Li Zhou raised his eyes and stared at him closely, waiting for his next words.
Wang Xiangyi scratched his head and said, "Luo Xunfei asked me to tell you that as long as you take over the leadership, Xia Meng will wake up."
Li Zhou: “……………………”
What kind of new scam is this?
Li Zhou had a complicated expression, and his face was full of disbelief, you liar.
Wang Xiangyi coughed and almost raised his hand to swear: "Really, I heard Luo Xunfei's exact words, word for word."
Li Zhou stared at him with a wooden face for a long time, trying to find any trace of fraud.
Unfortunately, he is not Xia Meng and cannot read such complex micro-expressions.
He was silent for a long time before he looked at Wang Xiangyi hesitantly: "Do you believe this?"
Wang Xiangyi shrugged. "Of course I don't really believe it. Luo Xunfei is as cunning as an old fox. No one can control him. But well..."
He confessed, "Since he said so, maybe it's worth giving it a try."
"Oh, right," Wang Xiangyi said, "He also asked me to tell you that today, in half an hour, the Black Tower will hold another vote. This time, there are two more candidates. If you really want to try, you have to leave now."
Li Zhou stared at him for a long time.
Half an hour later.
This sanatorium is at least two hours away from Beijing Tower.
but……
He was a little hesitant, yet also a little moved.
If it was a scam, it would be fine. But if it was true, and there was really a one in ten thousand chance, he would want to try it even if he was desperate.
He pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds, and made a decision almost immediately.
"Please contact Zhou Qi for me and tell him I'll be there immediately."
After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Wang Xiangyi took a deep breath with some emotion, thinking that this kid was really good.
I hope he can get what he wants and I hope Xia Meng can wake up safely.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand, took out his cell phone and called Zhou Qi.
He then went to the director's office of the sanatorium and asked about Xia Meng's condition.
About half an hour later, he had just come out of the dean's office when he received a call from Luo Xunfei.
Wang Xiangyi picked up the phone: "What's wrong? I did everything you said."
On the other end of the phone, Luo Xunfei smiled and said, "Yes, I've seen Li Zhou rush back. Thank you."
Wang Xiangyi was still a little puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Are you kidding me? Did Cui Yang really predict such detailed details?"
Luo Xunfei: "Don't you believe it?"
Wang Xiangyi: "I don't believe it."
Luo Xunfei: "Then go to Xia Meng's ward and take a look."
Wang Xiangyi: “???”
A few minutes later, Wang Xiangyi rushed into Xia Meng's ward.
When the door opened, I saw the person who was supposed to be lying on the bed was sitting up with his back to the door.
She held his thermos box of dumplings in both hands, lowered her head and took a deep sniff.
Wang Xiangyi froze.
Surprisingly, Luo Xunfei was right!
He actually woke up!!!
For a moment, Wang Xiangyi couldn't help but rush forward excitedly, "Xiao Xia!! You're awake!!!"
Xia Meng looked up when she heard the voice, and when she saw it was him, she slowly smiled.
The expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the mischievous little apprentice in his memory.
Yes, it was his precious little disciple.
Wang Xiangyi's eyes turned red instantly, and he even felt like crying.
God knows how frightened he has been all this time.
On the one hand, I was afraid that she wouldn't wake up, and on the other hand, I was afraid that after she woke up, the lively and cheerful Xia Meng would disappear.
Fortunately, fortunately!!
Xia Meng blinked and laughed, "It's beef and green onion filling! Lao Wang! Love you!"
Her smile, tone, and demeanor were exactly the same as before.
The only difference was that at this moment she still looked a little pale and weak, as if she had been lying in bed for a long time.
Wang Xiangyi was so excited that he wanted to hug her.
Thinking that she had just woken up and probably couldn't withstand any additional movement, he could only try his best to hold back.
While suppressing his excitement, he said, "Luo Xunfei was right! You actually woke up immediately!!!"
Xia Meng was bewildered: "Luo Xunfei? What did he say?"
Wang Xiangyi explained the whole cause and effect.
After finishing her speech, Xia Meng said "tsk" with an expressionless face.
"That old fox is plotting against us even at this time!!"
It's not like she will wake up just because Li Zhou takes office!
It was obvious that Luo Xunfei knew she would wake up today and deliberately tricked Li Zhou into taking on that hot potato! !
Xia Meng wrinkled her nose and cursed, "Humph! He's a fraud!"
Wang Xiangyi couldn't help laughing.
Forget it, as long as he wakes up, everything else will be easy.
Xia Meng turned her head and started looking for her phone.
Wang Xiangyi asked, "What? Want to stop Li Zhou? Give me your phone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Meng took out his cell phone.
Li Zhou probably charged her battery, so it was still fully charged.
She called Li Zhou and while waiting for the call to connect, she said, "It's not about stopping him."
Wang Xiangyi: "What is that?"
Xia Meng: "It just suddenly occurred to me that there's one thing I haven't said to him in this world."
Wang Xiangyi: "What?"
The call was connected quickly.
On the other end of the line, there were heavy breathing sounds and a tentative voice of disbelief: "...Xia Xia?"
Xia Meng smiled: "Well, Li Zhou, I love you."
