According to the detection information from the Night Watch advance team,
They divided the clones into two categories, one was used as material for sacrifice.
The other type is used as a tool to help them navigate the various legacies left by the Twilight Stars for the recovery of civilization.
This may be our only winning point,
but
Their ambitions go far beyond that.
Blood Moon plans to create more clones on Earth-like planets and sacrifice them through some mysterious rituals to hatch out so-called "gods."
What this god is, I have no way of knowing.
But I can feel the fear and despair it brings.
That is a force that can destroy the planet. Once it comes, all life will be reduced to ashes.
our time,
Ahem,
There really aren’t many left.
If any unknown person can see this message.
I hope you can tell this to my comrades, because those who fight with me will have your companions.
In order to prevent the last star path of Breeze City from extinguishing, we must work hard to seize the last hope.
besides,
Thank you,
Friends who received this letter from me.
I hope you will remember:
You are not clones, nor are you anyone's replacement.
You just don't have a truly unique person with a name of your own.
You are the hope of the once twilight civilization.
Also, the future will eventually belong to the Galactic Federation,
They are our compatriots.
The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die."
Joyce finished describing the message she received from an unknown frequency band.
The girl's face suddenly became less happy, and she whispered to Su Wen:
"Mr. Kevin,
Why do I feel a very sad, very sad feeling?"
heard her say that.
Su Wen was also silent for a long time and gently rubbed her head.
Subsequently,
He looked out at the elevator that was rapidly climbing toward the sky and then said slowly:
"Joyce,
In this world, no one should be born with responsibility and destiny.
Many people are just ordinary people.
They may have mothers who are waiting for them to come home for dinner, lovers who love them, and children who are waiting for their fathers to return.
They didn't have to make that choice.
They may have an infinite future,
They are still very young.
But that's what they did.
why..."
Su Wen, who was always calm, became a little depressed at the end of his speech.
because,
He knows the answer.
He knew the answer deeply,
Because he is also practicing,
He has gone further than them, but some people can't go that far even if they try their best.
Therefore, more people can only stop somewhere and become an eternal [lighthouse]
Su Wen silently thought of the words written in "Zhuangzi·Shanmu":
You wading in the river and floating in the sea, looking at it but not seeing the cliffs, the further you go, you don't know where it is.
He finally gave his final answer again:
"so,
They became boats,
A small boat, a small boat that may be able to cross rivers and seas.
But it is also possible that it will be overturned at a certain moment and sink into the sea forever."
And Qin also felt this emotion, which was the same feeling she had when she followed Norma and saw the bloody scene on top of the church:
"Mr. Kevin,
Then his last words have not been finished yet?"
Hearing what she said, Su Wen nodded slowly:
"yes.
That is the oath that belongs to the night watchman.
And he has always remembered those oaths very clearly.
Even though nearly a few years have passed since the electromagnetic storm disaster that Binhai City experienced.
He still remembers those night watchmen who sacrificed their lives on the front line of emergency rescue and disaster relief.
At that time,
He was very powerless and could not do anything.
Perhaps, the only thing that can be done is to remember their existence and the vows they made with such young faces.
Then, remember that they slept forever in this land they have always loved,
And on the fire night at Westminster,
Su Wen calls himself the Night Watchman Rhine, which may also have the meaning of commemorating them.
He silently recited those oaths word for word:
"The long night is coming, and I will keep watch from now on until I die.
I am the sword in the darkness, the guard on the wall, the fire against the cold, the light at dawn, the horn that wakes the sleeping, the shield that protects the kingdom.
I dedicate my life and honor to the Night Watch.
It's like this tonight, and it's like this every night.
Until, death.
You may not know that this sentence actually originated from a story, but through the resolution of the International Night Watchmen Council, it became a real oath.
It has become a mission that many people really need to remember.”
As his words fell,
When the elevator carried them across the false and dim sky, everything in front of them changed drastically.
One after another dazzling light pierced the darkness, and the dimness in front of Su Wen's eyes had been completely replaced by a clear and quiet deep blue that was close to pure black.
And those lights are streaks of starlight from distant galaxies,
it is so bright,
So much so that they temporarily lose awareness of their surrounding environment.
Immediately afterwards,
More stars emerge,
They intertwined together to form a bright starry sky.
The dim sky in front of us was replaced by this boundless starry sky. Each star was shining with its own light, some were as bright as diamonds, and some were as weak as candles.
Together they formed a magnificent and mysterious picture of the universe, which made Joyce and the others feel unprecedented shock and awe.
The original monotonous nothingness was suddenly replaced by endless starlight, bright and mysterious.
At this moment, they were actually standing in space, surrounded by dense stars, as if they were within reach.
In an instant,
The stars are shining brightly.
And countless elevators are traveling up and down among the helpless stars along this huge twilight tower.
They are similar in shape,
Like a silver arrow piercing the starry sky,
Even each elevator represents a passage to a different star.
The running trajectory of the elevator forms a gorgeous light track around the tower. They are intertwined to form a spectacular super-technological picture.
As the elevator shuttles up and down, the tower seems to be emitting waves of light in the universe.
Until now,
Su Wencai finally understood why the cultists dared to ignore the Night Watchman's plan to trap humans in the Greystone City of Klimans.
that is because:
"Greystone City Klimans is not actually the name of a town.
On the contrary, it represents this extremely huge super-civilization structure,
It represents:
The full name of this vast space station that can be called a star tower."
He really didn't expect that,
It turned out that I had already arrived in interstellar space from the very beginning.
The yellow sand reminded him of the Sahara, Libya or the Arabian Desert at first. Now it seems that the meaning of all this may be even more shocking.
If it were in the past, Su Wen would have been very excited.
but now,
He just looked at the boundless sea of stars and said calmly:
"I cannot and should not let those who died here be buried in the sea of stars,
Fallen leaves return to their roots,
I want to take them home.
Even if it’s just their last remaining sustenance.”
And with the twilight tower's elevator continuing to fly towards the starry sky,
