Chapter 61: Afterglow of Lights——Branlett——Guide to the Forgotten(1/2)

 The girl’s eyes were moist.

She has no relatives anymore.

After Phyllis learned the news, her first reaction was unspeakable sadness, and then she felt deep helplessness.

But now I see the continuous flow of ocean current analysis on the screen.

She also understood.

Some things never leave.

A person has to die three times in his life. For the first time, the heartbeat stops and breathing disappears, and the person is biologically declared dead.

During the second burial, people wore black clothes to attend the funeral. They announced that the person being buried no longer existed in this society and had quietly left.

The third time, the last person in the world who remembered him forgot him, so he truly died and the entire universe would no longer have anything to do with him.

But

Because of this research.

XXX's name will forever remain in the annals of civilization.

【Signs of extraordinary awakening detected】

[Sublimation lineage detected: Recorder]

[Extraordinary characteristic ‘budding state’ detected: Storm Watch]

Ten o'clock at night.

The pure white commemorative lights around the Coastal Research Institute are lit up one by one.

At the same time.

Su Wen looked towards the light outside the window.

Only then can he see it.

Those are solemn tombstones.

Phyllis Eleanor said:

"Under every tombstone is buried a former manager of the Samoa Storm Observatory.

Among them.

Including my father."

And at this moment.

Use the lights on the roadside.

Su Wen saw mutants with dark blue scales on their faces hidden in the forest further away from the cemetery.

Their eyes also turned into lizard-like vertical pupils.

[Identification: The mutants of the Tide Sect are sublimated through the fusion of the Deep Sea Syndrome and the pollution of the abyss, and are genetically polluted entities.]

After his appraisal.

All enemies in front of you

All are at least level two.

The patriarch standing at the front was three meters tall, and he said in a cold tone:

"Constance Voss sent us the message before she died.

It was you who killed him using incomprehensible means.

Besides, the most important sacrifice is also here.

Kevin, you have reached a dead end."

Right now.

Naval warships in the distance also rushed over under the command of Colonel Ulysses.

The huge sound of the cannon boomed down without reaching the cemetery.

Seven or eight mutants from the Tide Sect were killed in an instant.

But the patriarch standing at the front was not afraid. He said coldly:

"All sacrifices are worth it, stop them."

Right at this moment.

The twelve mutants of the Tide Sect actually chose to slit their own throats.

The blue storm reaches high into the sky.

They sacrificed themselves.

Then.

Created a [storm cliff] that was insurmountable and blocked all kinetic energy projectiles.

The dark blue wind wall deflects like a wall of sighs, blocking all missiles fired from a distance.

"Kevin, I admire your strong logical reasoning.

But that’s it.”

The leader continued to approach the room with the reduced number of cultists.

Hear their cries.

There was no space for Su Wen to stand in the house.

He had already briefly read through the manual left by the coastal scientist.

Then.

I also saw the last handwritten text a father left for his daughter:

(After 13.8 billion years, from singularity to heat death, we have spanned countless galaxies, from quarks to atoms, from nucleic acids and proteins to Homo sapiens.

Human beings should not be afraid of danger, because we once started from the singularity, looked at the Black Eye Galaxy, stopped in the spiral arms of the Milky Way, were attracted by the corona of the sun, and finally settled in the waves of the ocean.

Phyllis.

My daughter.

If you have witnessed the glimmer of every wave blooming.

Then you probably won’t be afraid of the vast sea in front of you.)

"Even if some people leave completely, they will still be remembered by civilization."

Su Wen silently,

"And for some monsters, even the blood spilled when they died, I think it is a kind of desecration to this cemetery."

He closed the notebook.

Then he solemnly handed it to the girl next to him, while comforting:

"Don't worry, wait for me here."

Looking out the window at the huge number of deep-sea aberrations.

He calmly opened the door of the research institute, looked at the oppressive patriarch of the Tide Sect from a distance and said:

"I am indeed just a first-order transcendent, a bystander."

But.

Your conclusion is wrong.

Big mistake.

I'm not alone."

A moment.

The warm lantern glowed in the cemetery.

A string of brilliant sparks rose into the sky.

Silent oaths also followed:

[I mourn the dead, just like Helena swears an oath for the living]

[Only silence brings forth words; only darkness becomes light; only death brings new life; fireflies fall into the void, shining brightly.]

[I am the extraditer of the forgotten people——‘The afterglow of the light’——Branlett]

Su Wen thought of the additional conditions given by Foss-Constance when he offered the sacrifice ceremony of the storm griffon Fogaro:

【The heavier the oath you make, the easier it is to get the blessing of the gods.

But on the contrary, the road ahead will become more and more bumpy. This is a rule followed by both the Zhengshen Sect and the Abyss Sect.]
