Zoffie seemed to suddenly realize something. He signed his name on the document approving the vacation and handed the document to Membius.
"Go ahead." He said with a reassuring smile.
Therefore, Hibino Mirai once again stood at the door of the Phoenix Nest Base. This base that he was once extremely familiar with has now changed.
Time flies, and the Earth's defense force has a new name and a new base. The Phoenix Nest base was converted into a museum, silently recording the period when humans and the giants of light joined hands to protect this unique planet.
The history of the planet.
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 middle of the empty hall, each one corresponding to the statue of a giant of light. Approaching Brother in the Future
They looked at their statues, and then looked at their own. The spotlights on the roof cast a thin shadow on the logo that read CREW; GUYS, and fell on Ultraman Mebius's shoulder.
From the different fighter models of different defense forces, to a brief introduction to the Warriors of Light, to the review of important battles and even the reappearance of images - Mirai holds the visitor's brochure picked up at the entrance and a portable explainer on his shoulder
, with headphones in his ears, he watched the entire exhibition carefully. When he walked to the exit of the museum and was about to see the exhibition board with "Epilogue" written on it, the sound that sounded in the headphones was not what happened in these few hours.
Instead of the mechanical female voice that had been explaining it to him, it was a voice he was more familiar with:
"Hello, Future. Please leave slowly."
""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."
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, the Phoenix Nest Base, which is not the same hand, arched
The corridor is as long as a century.
Asking for leave from Captain Zoffy didn't take long. The Ultra Brothers are very considerate of our eldest brother. In addition, Ultraman Meng occasionally works seriously. Is there any situation that may cause an emergency?
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. The only sign in Zoffie's hand was when he heard the child's voice
My brother paused 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:
"I know if he can see the letter, but if he can read it, then you and the team members should not be alive yet.
It turns out that Captain Qishui may have understood my current feelings 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.
"You deliberately took those photos, not to record the most precious memories. In the future, even if you have no chance to stay with him, even if you meet him so briefly, you will still be with him and with your little family.
This period of time is the best and worst time you have ever experienced. You have truly embraced that period, and it is like a miracle. Even if you feel lonely, regretful, and happy now, this is what you have.
The part divided by the Dharma is the part that you are willing to give up no matter what.
"...Tulaiga Gun...you received...Captain...Xiaojia..." Impacted by too strong emotions, words and thoughts became separated. Even if it is just a handwritten letter, as long as it is
Captain Shimizu wrote, "The bad image doesn't have the reassuring magic power - Mirai finally stopped crying, but his hands still trembled as he turned over the letter."
Ultraman Yume's expression showed neither sadness nor happiness. I just stood here fiercely and hesitantly, as if I was just reporting on my daily routine.
"Facial recognition is successful, welcome him, Hibino Mirai."
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.
"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.
"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 Xiaojia's bad voice recording was stored outside, which is also a souvenir. I'm sure he is still there
It would have been worse 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.
Zuo Fei looked at Ultraman Yume and sighed. I thought of Shingo Shisui, the Earthling who once had the same heart as me, the captain of Ultraman Meng under the earth. If it was definitely Shisui, what would he do?
"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.
The electronic lock suddenly released, and the small metal door slid quickly and leisurely to both sides, and the things outside the door quickly showed its full picture - the future can be seen at a glance, it is when I am stationed on the earth, CREW; GUYS; JAPAN
The war room. Because no one has retreated for a long time, there is inevitably some dust accumulated under the objects, but overall it is still clean and tidy. The tables and chairs in the same hand quietly repeat the layout and layout of the young queen, as if we were still there an hour later.
There, they discuss the recent monster attack or the latest gossip. The only difference is that the walls of the war room are covered with photos.
"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 permanent companions. In the future, he will meet new partners and protect the peace of the universe with us.
, creating fewer good and bad memories together, this 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.
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 end is often not blurry, but the focus is low, which becomes worse as time goes by.
As more and more photos are taken, the composition of the photos becomes rougher.
When the photos on both sides were taken, I should not have left the earth, so they show scenes that are more familiar to me: my partners in those photos are working, falling in love, getting married, having children, and raising children. At the same time,
Other acquaintances from the future also appear on the hand: acting director Misaki, veteran secretary Madoka, Aya, new team member Harusaki who I have met once before, Marine team Yuyu and Araso, 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 captain of the water force, the vicious old lady wearing reading glasses or myopia glasses, and the big bad is Marina.
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
The next person wrote my name with the same hand, without any other explanation. So Mirai opened the envelope doubtfully, and unfolded the letter paper, which was thick but not yellowed due to the age.
"Ultraman Meng, he should know..."
"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.
"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 both vague about that, so we prepared and arranged the place."
Everything. You have lived a happy life in those decades, and there is nothing worth regretting. You have to let your friends know that.
"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.
"What is he thinking about in the future?
"In the future, will he be bad? Then it will be forced water.
"As if time has been thrown in front of you, you once felt lonely because of this; you were unable to fight side by side with your old partners, and your partners were separated from you because of this. You also felt regretful and happy about this.
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?
Photos of the family, photos taken at various times and places, photos of a single person, photos of a few people and landscape photos with no one around, photos with everyone looking at the camera and no one paying attention to the camera
photos, not even a few photos of monsters and Meng Pei Yabius were mixed in. When the door was opened, the air flow blew the photos, setting off a fluttering sound; from the floor to the ceiling, there were countless
, the colorful photos almost flooded the war room - Future felt as if he was in an ocean.
"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.
Meng Pei Eya knew that I would take off on the wind. I would not regret seeing each other again, and I would not regret seeing each other again. With the blessings of my friends, I will fly to the distant future.
"you know."
The most eye-catching thing is this group photo that has been placed under the display shelf. It was carefully framed before being reduced in size. Because the pixels are low, it is not blurry. Surrounding the group photo are photos from when Mirai was still at GUYS, young people.
Wearing the GUYS team uniform, they look high-spirited; extending to both sides are photos of each GUYS team member. The faces of the young people outside the photos gradually become mature and stable, and finally take on the color of aging.
If it must be forced water...
"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, you flew in the universe for one year, and the same thing happened under the earth.
It took seven or even ten years for your hand to fly. During that period, you were unable to communicate with the earth. Once you took off, it would take a long time to return. Even if the earth was experiencing frequent attacks by monsters, you were still 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.
