Slowly waking up from his deep sleep, Feng Qi's vision gradually became clear from blur.
The memories before coma came back like a tidal wave at this time.
After a few minutes, he struggled to sit up and looked at his surroundings.
The room he is in is not big. There are two instruments placed on the left side of the bed. Several hoses extend out and are connected to various parts of his body in the form of a skeleton. Several lifelines of different colors on the screen of the instrument are rapidly fluctuating and making twists and turns.
route map.
On the right side of the bed, the window was half open, and the white curtains swayed in the breeze, making a soft "rustling" sound.
It was a sunny day outside the window, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, leaving mottled traces of light on the bed.
After a brief daze, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"woke up?"
Feng Qi turned around and saw that Wei Wei was coming in.
At this time, she was wearing a white dress, rimless glasses, and carrying a toolbox in her right hand.
The heavy dark circles under her eyes made her look a little tired, as if she hadn't slept for several days.
"Sister Wei...have I returned to Star City?"
Facing Feng Qi's inquiry, Wei Wei smiled and nodded:
"According to your decision, the Dawn Army evacuated immediately after taking Future City. It has been seven days since the end of that battle, and you have been unconscious for seven days."
"Am I in the Scarlet Secret Base?"
"Of course not. This is the Star City Military Hospital. I also received a notice from Captain Gu and came here urgently."
Hearing these words, Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
He lowered his head and looked at the body in the form of a skeleton. There were still cracks all over the body. At the same time, dark cursed energy could be seen swimming inside the cracks.
The curse on him has obviously not been broken yet.
If he is sent to the Scarlet Institute at this time, there is a risk of being tracked.
The psychic race has many abilities, and may have the ability to rely on curses to locate and kill.
Once the Scarlet secret base is exposed to the eyes of the psychic tribe, the entire war front will lose everything.
"Don't worry, we have already considered the hidden dangers in this area, so we chose to give you emergency treatment in the military hospital."
As if she had seen through Feng Qi's thoughts, Wei Wei immediately explained, and then placed the toolbox in her hand on the bedside table.
"This puts me at ease." As he said that, Feng Qi leaned back and leaned on the pillow.
"By the way, Sister Wei, where is the miracle ring now?"
"As you expected, this miracle ring contains the location of the psychic clan. Mu Qing did not take it back to Star City, but sent it to the Hupo branch outside Star City for research. But before I could
When we went there, this sub-base was destroyed by the psionic tribe. Fortunately, the internal personnel were evacuated in advance and there were no casualties. However, the sub-base was completely destroyed."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi felt regretful.
He had expected this result.
Originally, he planned to send this miracle ring to the Scarlet Secret Base and then hand it to his future self.
But after being attacked by the curse, he realized that things were not that simple.
The psionic tribe obviously has a backup plan.
Being sent to the Scarlet Secret Base at this time would expose his biggest secret to the psychic race.
Fortunately, before he fell into coma, he chose to be cautious and asked Mu Qing not to take the miracle ring back to the Scarlet Secret Base.
Otherwise, the intelligence investigated by the war front will be in vain.
Wei Wei lifted her long hair and hung it by her ears. Then she pulled out a stool from under the bed and sat down. She smiled at him and said:
"Now I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Bad news."
"The bad news is that I have tried many methods to remove the curse on you, but every time I remove a part of it, it comes back quickly and cannot be eradicated at all. And I suspect that the curse on you comes from some miracle item."
Regarding the fact that the curse on his body could not be eradicated, Feng Qi was already mentally prepared when he saw his physical condition after opening his eyes, so he was not surprised at all.
What puzzled him was why Wei Wei thought the curse came from a miraculous item.
Thinking of this, he used his telepathy to resonate and asked:
"Sister Wei, why do you think this curse comes from a miraculous item?"
"Because the cursed energy in your body can multiply indefinitely and can be restored no matter how many times it is removed. This is not surprising. Many cursed energies are cured in the human body and absorb energy from the blood. As long as the host does not die, the cursed energy is like
The tarsal maggots will never disappear."
"But you are different. Your skeletal form does not have any energy to absorb the curse. At that time, I thought that the curse energy in you relied on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to allow you to reproduce and recover quickly. But even if I send you into a closed space without spiritual energy
, the cursed energy can still recover quickly."
"This obviously destroys the law of energy conservation. It seems that only miracle items have this kind of function that transcends the power of rules."
After hearing Wei Wei's explanation, Feng Qi suddenly felt enlightened.
"In addition, I used your cursed energy on the mouse and found a special symbol on it."
With that said, Wei Wei reached out and opened the toolbox placed on the bedside table and took out a tablet.
I saw her clicking several times on the tablet, and a video suddenly popped up.
At this time, she pointed the screen at Feng Qi.
What appeared in front of Feng Qi's eyes was a transparent glass cover with a white mouse inside.
As the video progress bar progressed, a test tube appeared on the head of the mouse, and then a drop of pitch black liquid dripped and hit the mouse.
Suddenly the little white mouse trembled all over, lying on the ground and kicking its legs. In the blink of an eye, it was eroded by the black power and turned into a jet black mouse.
At the same time, a string of symbols appeared on the little mouse's back.
If you look carefully, you can see that the last characters of this string of symbols will change over time.
"What does this symbol mean?"
Wei Wei took back the tablet at this time and said with a solemn expression:
"This is the language of the domain world. I asked Minister Lin. He graduated from the old school and has studied the languages of all ethnic groups in the domain. The explanation he gave me was that this is a measurement uniformly used by ethnic groups in a certain area of the domain world.
Words, you can understand as numbers for us humans!”
"So this is a countdown?"
"That's right, your life is counting down." Wei Wei admitted frankly.
"It looks like I don't have long to live...so, what's the good news?"
After hearing these words, Feng Qi felt calm.
From the moment he set out for the battle, he was ready to die in battle.
If death is unavoidable, there is no need to fear death.
"The good news is that by interpreting the words behind the mouse, Minister Lin said you have about three months to live."
Feng Qi:......
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed good news.
You can live for at least three more months.
"Can you save my brain?"
"The source of the curse erosion is on your back. Cutting off the source will save you. There is no curse energy in your brain for the time being. Just come to the military hospital for chemotherapy regularly in the following days. Don't let the curse spread to your brain."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's really good news."
"By the way, how's it going with Mu Qing?"
"She faced the curse attack directly. It is reasonable to say that the situation is more serious than yours, but she swallowed and digested the curse energy. Obviously the scarlet rune crystal on her body is far more terrifying than the curse energy."
Feng Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wei Wei took out a special glove and a tube of blood from the tool box.
"Recover your body first."
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately took the glove and put it on his left hand.
After triggering it with telekinesis, the concentrated blood in the glass tube immediately turned into rich qi and blood, which continuously poured into his body.
The originally shriveled heart gradually resumed beating due to the filling of Qi and blood.
A few minutes later.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Qi thought, flesh and blood tissue continued to grow on his body, and he quickly returned to his human form.
But it's different from what it used to be.
There were twisted black lines on his body, like ferocious centipedes clinging to the surface of his body.
Waves of weakness came over me.
At the same time, a string of characters appeared on his back.
The characters at the end are like those on the back of an experimental mouse, beating and changing, like a countdown to life, and each change will take away a ray of life from him.
"Aqi, I'm going back. How do you plan to spend these three months?"
"Don't worry about me. You are the core figure of the Scarlet Research Institute. The situation in Star City should not be good now. You may be attacked by external forces at any time. If you go back early, I can feel at ease."
Feng Qi smiled at this moment and spoke, without any fear of death on his face.
After continuing to chat, Wei Wei stood up to say goodbye and took away the tool box.
Next, she will return to the Scarlet Secret Base, isolate herself from the world, and begin to interpret and research the documents brought back from the top-secret room.
It was getting dark, and Feng Qi also went through the discharge procedures and left the military hospital at this time.
While heading to the Hu Po Research Institute, his heart was heavy.
Through his communication with Wei Wei, he learned about the recent situation in Star City.
Now the entire Star City is in a state of preparation for war.
External public opinion is very unfriendly to Star City, and there are already voices proposing to form a coalition army to take action against Star City.
Among them, those who responded most actively to the call were the old city and the remaining military power of the future city.
A new flame of war has been ignited.
In the war against Future City, the Dawn Army lost nearly half of its combat strength and suffered heavy losses.
Once the coalition forces are formed, Star City's future is uncertain.
In this battle, he bet the future of the entire city.
While he gained a lot of information, he felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.
For the sake of the future and for the sake of righteousness, there is indeed nothing wrong.
But every resident of Star City has the right to choose their own future. At least in the normal timeline, they will not know the truth, spend the rest of their lives in beautiful lies, and will not experience cruelty.
It was he who exposed the lies and used the future of humanity and righteousness to pull all the people of Star City onto the road to war.
Now the future of Star City is in jeopardy, and everyone will live in worry about the future.
He is guilty.
Taking a deep breath, he made a decision at this moment.
He wants to prove to the world that the people of Star City are not guilty and that they are just pawns deceived by him.
He alone can bear all the blame for the crime.
He didn't know whether doing this would bring a glimmer of hope to Star City's future, but it was all he could do before he died.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed the number of the military department.
He needs a medium to convey information to the outside world.
Create a way of life for the people of Star City.
…
Two months later.
Feng Qi came to the tombstone of the Lord of Mist, accompanied by Mu Qing, Lu Yue and others.
At this time, Feng Qi was skinny and skinny, with black lines wandering around his body. Sitting on the ground, he was like a candle in the wind, as if a gust of wind would blow out the fire of his life.
He struggled to pick up the tributes placed in front of the tombstone, put it into his mouth, chewed it twice and then swallowed it.
But the body quickly gave a strong feedback, and all the food I just swallowed was quickly spit out.
Mu Qing stepped forward at this moment, but was stopped by Feng Qi with a wave of his hand:
"The rules of the Mist tribe are that eating sacrifices is a sign of respect for the deceased. If I don't eat them, I'm afraid they will go down and beat me."
As he said that, Feng Qi stuffed half of the biscuit in his hand into his mouth.
"Old fan, this is the last time I come to see you. I'm almost done... remember to cover me when I go down..."
As he spoke, Feng Qi's state became increasingly unstable.
The sun was setting in the west, and Feng Qi stood up with Mu Qing's help.
Come to the edge of the cliff and look into the distance.
A red sun is slowly setting on the horizon.
The mountains stretch in the distance, the stars in the sky are looming, snowflakes are falling on your body, the evening breeze is blowing on your face... Everything in this world seems so beautiful.
"Aqi."
Turning her head to look to her side, Mu Qing's lips trembled slightly and tears filled her eyes.
"Brother Chess!"
"Brother Chess!"
Looking at Lin Ran, Lu Yue and others, Feng Qi smiled with difficulty and said:
"Brothers, don't be so depressed. I'm not dead yet... Anyway, I didn't open this one well. I'll make you super awesome next time."
Looking at Feng Qi, who had dark eyes but confidently said these words, everyone suddenly burst into laughter.
Turn around again and look into the distance.
The heroism in Feng Qi's heart rose infinitely.
Death is not terrible, every death represents the rebirth of a new self.
It is precisely the countless sacrifices made by ourselves in the past that have led to the steady advancement of this war line.
He is walking on a road paved with the corpses of countless sacrifices, which will also become a stepping stone for him in the future.
Open your eyes in the ashes, and be reborn in the ashes.
Such a fate has a beginning and an end, and is full of hope.
As his life was dying, Feng Qi felt his head light up, and then a cold feeling poured into his brain.
The world in front of me gradually dims.
Looking at the rolling hills under the stars, I heard the familiar sound of the harmonica.
The snowflakes are falling, the chill is thick, and the sound of the piano is lingering in the heart.
Mu Qing said goodbye to Feng Qi in her own way, and her thoughts seemed to penetrate time and space and follow him away.
"This life... seems to be over... Farewell."
Feng Qi's thoughts stopped at this moment.
Looking at Feng Qi being held in Lin Ran's arms, the sparkle in Mu Qing's eyes slipped away, shining like gems in the night, dragging out little red lights and falling into the soil.
Lin Ran, Lu Yue and others had smiles on their faces, but tears in their eyes.
Just a song.
Mu Qing took the container with Feng Qi's head in it and hugged it tightly, while Lin Ran hugged the broken body, and they all walked down the mountain together.
At this time, they discovered that countless Kongming lanterns were rising from the foot of the mountain, reflecting the night sky red.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found countless figures already waiting there.
Seeing the headless body of Feng Qi in Lin Ran's arms, their expressions became sad and they all clenched their fists. Countless voices sounded at this moment.
"My ancestors sacrificed their lives fighting against domain invasion, and I will never give in. Feng Qi, you are a hero, not a sinner. We, the people of Star City, will always stand with you!"
"If you want us to compromise with the darkness, I can't do it. We will never admit your identity as a sinner, even if Star City falls."
"The war front has been opened, but you want to give up halfway. I tell you to Feng Qi. As long as there are still people alive in Star City, your hero name will not be allowed to be taken away."
"No matter how many sacrifice lines you are a human traitor, we will protect your glory on this sacrifice line until everyone is killed!"
Amid the noisy shouts, the people of Star City had firm eyes.
They all received a notice from the military headquarters and knew that a way out was in front of them.
That is to admit that he was bewitched by Feng Qi, and then push all the charges on Feng Qi.
This way you can clear up the relationship.
Even if Star City will eventually be cleaned up, at least they, as ordinary people, will be safe.
Only this time, the people of Star City took the initiative to protest.
They are unwilling to compromise with the darkness and just live on.
At this time, the road leading to the execution ground was crowded with people coming to see him off.
Students, teachers, scientific researchers, military soldiers... no matter where they were, they all came here at this time, wanting to send Feng Qi to the final stage.
Representatives of various forces in Star City were dressed in black and came to Lin Ran carrying a huge coffin.
At this time, the leading representative shouted loudly:
"Send me, the hero of Star City, to Fengqi and enter the Heroes Cemetery!"
At that moment, countless people followed and shouted.
Mu Qing, Lin Ran and others also shed tears at this time, with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Qi, this battle line can finally stand up."
After Feng Qi's headless body was placed in the coffin, the people spontaneously made way for him.
Star City representatives carried the coffin forward, followed by countless figures behind them.
Along the way, people kept scattering flowers on Feng Qi's coffin. This was the treatment a hero in their eyes should receive.
Come to the fork at the end of the road.
The left side leads to the execution ground, surrounded by people from Star City, as if signaling to the farewell team that this road is closed.
On the other road leading to the Heroes Cemetery, people retreated to both sides of the road, and the road was covered with flowers and wine.
The people of Star City want to tell Feng Qi through actions.
They did not allow the end of this sacrifice line, which was not worthy of his efforts and dedication.
The escort team turned into a long dragon in Star City.
The sparks flicker, and the hero's soul enters the tomb.
This night, the people of Star City bid farewell to their heroes.
