Along with the roar, snowflakes mixed with ice slag continued to pour out of the channel.
Everyone returned to the bottom of the abyss and breathed the air of the human world.
When Jiang Che looked at the passage again... the passage had disappeared.
To be precise, the passage was completely frozen, and at the same time, the unique aura of the mysterious world disappeared completely.
The link between Death Glacier and the real world is completely severed.
"..."
"Where's Captain Chen?" someone in the crowd suddenly asked.
"Hmm? Where's Captain Chen?"
"..."
"Team Chen! Team Chen!!!"
"Team Chen hasn't come out yet! Team Chen is still inside!!!"
The crowd finally reacted.
Then, they pounced on the ice like jackals, and the swords in their hands kept cutting out ice shards.
But as they chopped and chopped, the voices of these seven-foot-tall men began to grow louder.
Because they all understand, all understand...
"Team Chen! Team Chen!"
"Hurry and help!"
"Dute code, give me harder!!!"
"Captain Chen! Your daughter is not even one year old yet!"
"You haven't invited us to a birthday party yet!"
"Captain Chen, come out! Come out!"
"Ahhh!"
"why why!"
"ah!!!"
"Team Chen..."
At this time, Li Shan stood up and glanced at everyone.
He stretched his neck and his eyes turned slightly red.
He did not lecture or comfort, but screamed with all his strength.
"Oath under the red flag!"
"I'm always ready!"
"Sacrifice for victory!"
"Sacrifice for the people!"
"Sacrifice for your country!"
"I do!"
"Build the Great Wall with bones! In exchange for the lights of thousands of families!"
"Pouring the territory with blood! In exchange for the mountains and rivers remaining the same!"
"I would like to spend my life!"
"Guarding the prosperous Great Xia!"
"..."
Everyone's eyes focused on Li Shan.
Li Shan stood there, tall and straight, looking straight.
He didn't say any more nonsense, but screamed again.
"Oath under the red flag!"
"I'm always ready!"
"Sacrifice for victory!"
"Sacrifice for the people!"
"Sacrifice for the country..."
"..."
In this way, Li Shan screamed and screamed over and over again.
Gradually, other voices began to overlap with Li Shan.
More and more, more and more heavy.
Iron-clad and heart-stirring!
"I would like to spend my life!"
"Guarding the prosperous Great Xia!"
Everyone's voices circled and echoed in this dark abyss, reaching into the sky.
There was a determined look in those red eyes.
There was unyielding will in those roars that were getting louder and louder.
…
Wait for everyone to return to the platform.
No one complained, no one cried.
Jiang Che walked out of the team and came to Ning Wu with a loud voice.
"Report to the master!"
"In this mission, eight people were sacrificed!"
"Bring back the remains of twenty-three brothers."
"Death Glacier Pass is closed!"
"Task……"
"Finish!"
"..."
Ning Wu scanned everyone's faces one by one, over and over again.
Finally, he nodded and softened his voice.
"Everyone, welcome back."
…
It's night.
It is still extremely cold in Tianma Pass.
Jiang Che was lying on the bed alone, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Zhuge Ye was taken for treatment, but he didn’t know what was going on...
Tomorrow is the entry ceremony.
After tomorrow, you can be officially assigned a number and become the gatekeeper of Tianma Pass.
but……
"..."
Jiang Che sat up from the bed, the image of the death glacier constantly appearing in his mind.
Where did Xue Ji go? Which side is Xue Ji on?
Did Chen Fang...really die?
At the last moment, Chen Fang said that was his mission...
So from the beginning, he received a secret mission, and this mission was to sacrifice himself and close the channel.
He... is a king!
The king level, the ceiling in the eyes of ordinary people, was just... sacrificed?
Li Shan must have known about this, but he did not stop Chen Fang.
It is clear that Chen Fang is the one who is most dissatisfied with him, so why do he still stand up to perform the task?
"He can totally sacrifice me."
"I already did this at that time..."
"Why?"
Jiang Che doesn't understand, really doesn't understand.
Can people... really be that stupid?
"..."
Jiang Che thought about it all night.
Until dawn, I saw the red flag waving in the morning light.
He finally understood.
turn out to be.
This is the gatekeeper...
…
Its daybreak.
On the largest platform of Tianma Pass, the red flag was flying.
Under the red flag, many gatekeepers stand with their heads held high.
The master of the gate turned his back to the crowd, faced the abyss, and stood with his hands behind his back.
On the side, Ning Wu, dressed in formal attire, looked at a line of pedestrians slowly entering with a smile on his face.
It was only this morning that Jiang Che found out that there were more than just the three of them as newcomers, and there were more than a dozen other people from all over the world.
Some of them were members or captains of the Secret Team.
Some of them have just joined the conspiracy and have gone through many layers of screening before arriving here.
What surprised Jiang Che was that Cao Zhan from the Cao family was also there.
When acquaintances meet, they are extremely jealous...
…
"Newcomers line up!"
Following Ning Wu's loud shout, Jiang Che and others quickly lined up.
Then, after getting the permission from the master, Ning Wu shouted:
"Entry Ceremony!"
"Start now!"
There is no stage and no lights.
No flowers, no cheers.
A group of people who are about to take on a heavy burden.
In silence, the most important ritual in life began.
