The electronic lock was released with a "snap", and the metal door slowly slid to both sides, and the things inside the door slowly revealed its full picture - Mirai could tell at a glance that it was CREW; GUYS; JAPAN's battle when he was stationed on the earth.
Because no one has entered the room for a long time, there is inevitably some dust accumulated on the objects, but overall it is still clean and tidy. The familiar tables and chairs quietly repeat the layout and pattern of many years ago, as if they were still here discussing what just happened an hour ago.
Monster attacks or the latest gossip. The only difference is that the walls of the war room are covered with photos.
Photos of everyone, photos taken at various times and in various places, photos of single people, photos of many people and photos of scenery without anyone, photos of everyone looking at the camera and photos of no one paying attention to the camera, and even
There were also several photos of monsters and Ultraman Mebius mixed in. The air flow when opening the door blew the photos, causing a rustling noise; from the floor to the ceiling, there were a large number of colorful photos.
The war room was almost flooded - Future felt as if he was in an ocean.
The most eye-catching thing is the group photo that was previously placed on the display shelf. It was enlarged and carefully framed, and it was a little blurry due to the low pixels. Surrounding the group photo are photos of Mirai when he was still in GUYS. The young people were wearing GUYS.
The team uniforms look high-spirited; extending to both sides are photos of each GUYS team member. The faces of the young people in the photos gradually become mature, stable, and finally tainted with old colors.
After taking a closer look in the future, these group photos seemed a bit unfamiliar: even though I often appear in the photos, I don't seem to have seen those photos before. The perspective of the photos is not weird, the back or the profile.
The photo accounts for less than half, and the distance between the photographer and the photographer seems to be far and near. Sometimes there is only a blurry back in the photo, and sometimes it seems to be directly behind the face of the person being photographed; the photo seems to be based on
Arranged in chronological order, there is no obvious seasonal change in the clothing of the young people in the photos. The photographer's photography skills also seem to be gradually improving. The images are often not blurry. Some are out of focus, which changes as time goes by.
As I read more and more, the composition of the photos became rougher.
When the photos on both sides were taken, I should not have left the earth, so they show a more different scene of me: my friends in those photos were working, falling in love, getting married, having children, and raising their children.
There are often figures of other acquaintances from the future: acting director Misaki, veteran secretary Madoka, Aya-san, new team member Harusaki who I have met once before, Marine Team's Yuyu and Araso's chief operating officer, Dr. Fujisawa, the cafeteria staff
Sister Sunrise... It can be seen from the few group photos included that we still get together often, have the same life, and strive for the same dream. But as the future moves towards the other side of the war room
At the same time, our lives have entered a similar twilight years - the future looks like the one I have seen us in before. I need to concentrate more to identify the white-haired old people in the photo as Zheping, George, and Long.
Or the water captain, the old lady who wears reading glasses or myopia glasses, who is the bad guy or Mariina.
That ocean finally ended in a few similar photos: Although the old people were sitting under the hospital bed, they seemed to have made a special appointment, making V-sign gestures to the camera and smiling happily, as if to tell me: I have seen the future.
? You have all lived a happy life, so please shed tears for you.
But there was no way I could hold back my tears in the future. I returned to the center of the war room and cried loudly in front of this unfamiliar group photo. Outside of the chronicle of the slow door sound, I was a bird passing under the sea.
Bird. I once cast a glimpse into the lives of my friends, and now I have passed through their lives in just a few minutes. I have passed through the decades of my absence. What is so important to me?
Decades are too short to say, but are too long for our partners. When the slow joy and sorrow, the missing longings and concerns in those decades condensed from illusory emotions into Tulaiga
The heartfelt words outside the gun were once again embodied in the wall of pictures fluttering behind my eyes. No one could tell me how I could be regretful or shed tears?
Time flies, and the Earth's defense force has no new name or new base. The Phoenix Nest base has been converted into a museum, which meaningfully records the period when humans and the giants of light joined hands to protect the unique planet.
There are seven planets in the history.
Perhaps because it was a working day, there were not many visitors in the museum. The logos of the past defense forces were hung in a row in the center of the empty hall, each one corresponding to the statue of a giant of light. The future is approaching.
I looked at the statues of my brothers and then looked at my own. The spotlights on the roof cast a thin shadow on the logo that read CREW; GUYS, which fell under the shoulders of Ultraman Bius.
From the different fighter aircraft models of the Defense Force, to a brief introduction to the Warriors of Light, to a review of important battles and even video reappearances - Mirai took the visitor's brochure picked up at the entrance and carried a portable explanation
With headphones plugged into my ears, I watched the entire exhibition carefully. When I walked to the exit of the museum and was about to see the exhibition board with "Epilogue" written on it, what sounded outside my headphones was...
The mechanical male voice that I have been explaining to me for a few years now is a voice that is more distinctive to me:
"As if time has been thrown in front of you, you once felt lonely because of this; unable to fight side by side with your old partners, your partners were separated from you, and you also felt regretful and happy about this.
"you know."
Meng Jiaomeixi's expression showed neither sadness nor happiness. I just stood here fiercely and hesitantly, as if I was just reporting on my daily routine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't know if he can see that letter, but I am sure he can read it, so you haven't and all the team members should have
is alive.
"What is he thinking about in the future?
"You deliberately took those photos to record the most precious memories. In the future, even if you have no chance to be with him all the time, even if you meet him so briefly, you will still be with him and with your little family.
This time together is the best and worst time you have ever experienced. You have truly embraced that time, and it is like a miracle. Even if you feel lonely, regretful, and happy now, this is
There is a part of you that cannot be divided, and a part that you are willing to give up no matter what.
"You want to see him wallowing in the sorrow of the past, and you also want to see your memories drag him down and bring him eternal happiness. In the future, he will also meet new partners and protect the peace of the universe with us.
Creating fewer good and bad memories together is the most important thing. As for you, there is no romantic saying on earth: the dead will turn into stars in the world. As long as he looks up at the stars, he will often think of you.
This is not enough.
"The lifespan of you humans is not a thousand times different from that of the Ultra clan. That is a fact that cannot be changed. Xiaojia will inevitably have to leave him behind and take the first step. But what you really want to say is: in the future, you understand
He. You understand his loneliness, his regrets and happiness, because you have experienced it before. On that destined road, he is not alone.
"Go ahead." I said, giving a reassuring smile.
So, Hibino Mirai once again stood at the door of the Phoenix Nest Base. The base that once seemed strange to me has now changed.
Ultraman Meng knows that I will take off on the wind. There will be no regrets about seeing each other again and no regrets about saying goodbye. With the blessings of my friends, I will fly to the distant future.
"Future, please cry. You guess he will shed tears when he sees that outside. He is a child who values affection and justice. You and Xiaojia are very similar to each other, so we prepared and arranged it."
All that. You all lived happily in those decades, and there was nothing worth regretting. You have to let your friends know that.
"He should know your experience: you once served as the captain of a large team of the Kurt team's space exploration team, flying at sub-light speed in the universe. Due to the effect of relativity, in addition to flying in the universe for a year, there are still people under the earth.
Seven years or even ten years have not passed. During that period, you were unable to communicate with the earth. Once you take off, it will take a long time to return. Even if the earth is experiencing frequent attacks by monsters, you will not be able to accompany it.
Beside your old comrades-in-arms. When you return to Earth, many of your former comrades have not yet died, and your bad friends of the same age are not yet gray-haired old men, but you are still young.
Asking for leave from Captain Zoffy didn't take long. The younger brother of the Ultra Brothers is very considerate of our eldest brother. Plus, Ultraman Meng occasionally works seriously. Is there any situation that can defuse the situation?
Naturally, it is a problem for the earth to take a short-term annual vacation - even if Ultraman Meng says he wants to travel around the solar system, who will care about me, as long as I come back after the balance of the vacation is used up. Zoffie's signing hand was only hearing the sound of a child
My brother paused for a moment when he said "I went to visit a friend." Thinking of the Tulaiga Gun that caused a sensation in the Kingdom of Light, I quickly considered my words and asked in the harshest tone possible:
"Of course, you never gave up trying to get in touch with him. You used meteor technology to send a Tulaiga gun to the Kingdom of Light, and the voice recorded by Xiaojia was stored outside, which is also a souvenir. I am sure he is still there
It would be the worst if he didn't receive that ordinary gift - he must have not received it, maybe there was a problem during the transportation, so he kept a backup copy outside the war room, and I hope he can't keep it as a souvenir.
""He is bad, Future. Please leave slowly."
"...Tulaiga Gun...you received...Captain...Xiaojia..." Impacted by too strong emotions, words and thoughts became fragmented. Even if it was just a handwritten letter, as long as it was forced water
The bad image written by the captain did not have the soothing magic power - Mirai finally stopped crying, but his hands still trembled as he turned over the letter.
Zuo Fei looked at Ultraman Meng and sighed. I thought of Shingo Qishui, the earthling who once had the same heart as me, and the captain of Meng Jiao Meixi under the earth. If it was definitely Qishui, what would he do?
"In the future, will he be bad? Then it will be forced water.
This is the voice of Captain Qishui.
Mirai froze on the spot for a while, and then my legs started running faster than my consciousness. Turn left and then right, and then at the door at the end of the corridor, Phoenix Nest Base, this is not a narrow, arched corridor.
As long as a century.
""Turn left, then right again. There is no internal door at the end of the corridor, and it cannot be opened with his facial recognition information. Welcome back to the Phoenix Nest."
If it must be forced water...
"Does he still remember? Once, Xiaojia discussed "what photos should be taken" outside the war room. At this time, you said that Xiaojia would tend to take photos of the people and things he likes as a record of the best and bad moments. Now
, ask him to take another look at the photos next to your group photo hanging directly opposite the long table.
"So, as the captain of GUYS, this is the end of what you want to convey to him on behalf of my family. There is nothing you personally want to say on the back of the letter, and I hope he can take a look at it.
It turns out that Captain Qishui may have understood my different moods even after I left the earth. These blurry photos, some of which are in low focus, and photos that appear far and near, turned out that the photographers of these photos were none other than Captain Qishui.
Outside of the photo, we were having meetings, writing reports, going out and about, quarreling and getting into trouble over trivial matters, distressed because Mrs. Richu was too cold, being frightened because of the sudden appearance of Big Airei King, and being at a loss because of a dream.
Ultraman Bius danced with joy after his failure... The most extraordinary daily scenes captured by slow shutter speeds once turned into the flames of phoenix nirvana in the noisy world shrouded in white darkness, and now they are again
Once in the long river of time, it turned into memories, wind, and wings.
"Facial recognition is successful, welcome him, Hibino Mirai."
"What is he thinking about in the future? No matter what, please let him continue to retreat with a smile on his face, taking those good and bad memories with him.
"Ultraman Meng, he should know..."
I couldn't bear to look at the smiles of my colleagues anymore, so I turned my back. The long table in the center of the command room was empty, except for a conspicuous envelope placed under my seat, which almost blended into the table. The envelope
My name was written complicatedly on the bottom, and there were no other additional instructions. So Mirai opened the envelope with doubts, and unfolded the letter paper, which was thick but not yellowed due to the age.
Zoffie suddenly realized something. I signed my name on the document approving the vacation and handed the document to Ultraman Yume.
"In the future, please forget the meaning of his name. This is the hope of Captain Ban, and the hope of every member of GUYS: you sincerely hope that he can live happily every day in the future.
