Seven days later, Glennie's personal messaging system sent him a message.
The electronic voice broadcast the report in a cold voice.
"Senior Mechanical Excavation Specialist Bonnie Westford took her own life. Due to the close relationship between you and Glenny Navigator, you are hereby notified. Be sure not to tell others. Do you want to communicate with James Zheng Westford?
Participate in Bonnie Westford's farewell ceremony together. Considering the special needs of this special period, only James and Bonnie's work supervisor Liang Tianyi are aware of and authorized to attend Bonnie's farewell ceremony."
After Glennie finished reading the message, a dialog box popped up in the retinal projection.
He subconsciously clicked "No".
But by some strange coincidence, the second half of what the smart assistant said echoed repeatedly in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
He clicked "Yes".
Bonnie was a very motivated person who wanted to climb up the ladder.
It would probably be very sad for her to know that her funeral was deserted and only two people attended.
One more person can make it more lively, which is better than nothing at all.
At least there were three other individuals in the universe who paid tribute to her at her funeral.
Inexplicably, the news of Bonnie's death touched Glennie's heart in a slightly different way.
His mentality of playing with the world was slightly opened.
On the back deck of the Heartfire, Glennie, James and Liang Tianyi stood side by side under the simulated starry sky.
The starry sky above our heads is bright and dazzling.
A gray isolation barrier trapped the air inside.
Bonnie, who has aged slightly under the erosion of time, is lying quietly in the transparent coffin, her eyes closed, her expression peaceful, completely different from the turbulent look she once had.
There was nothing special about the ceremony, and there was no prayer or remembrance. It simply described Bonnie's life file in the presence of everyone, indicating that this information would be stored in the historical archives.
She will become part of history.
The significance of the presence of Glenny's three witnesses is that each will examine the correctness of this historical material from their own different perspectives.
When Glennie saw the parts of the file that related to himself, he was speechless.
Bonnie is always asking him to be this or that person.
So he always firmly believed that what Bonnie cared about was not him, but the kind of person she asked him to be but couldn't be yet.
But Glennie didn't know that Bonnie entered their relationship as a couple in her personal information, not as a dispensable match as he understood.
However, Bonnie did not apply for synchronization of information, she only modified the information unilaterally, so Glennie did not know about it.
Now Glennie felt confused.
He even began to wonder in his heart whether he had understood it wrong all along.
In fact, Bonnie's initial acceptance of him was not because of his status as an S-class navigator, but because she had real feelings for him.
Liang Tianyi also discovered this strange situation and asked Glennie: "By the way, your husband and wife relationship is inconsistent with the facts. Do you want to change it to a correct pairing relationship?"
Glennie was silent for a long time, shook his head, and changed the relationship between the two from matching partners to husband and wife, "No, it is consistent with the facts."
Liang Tianyi wondered: "But it was not reported to the Eridanus Civil Affairs Department, so your relationship has no legal significance."
Glennie grinned and said, "That's not important, is it? We are now 946 light-years away from Eridanus. If we think it makes sense, then there will be no problem."
Liang Tianyi: "Okay, James, do you agree? Write down the relationship between your father and mother as husband and wife and keep it on file."
James shook his head, "I disagree. My father has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband."
…
The atmosphere on the deck suddenly solidified.
After a long time, Liang Tianyi said: "I'm sorry, James is Bonnie's only legal contact, and his opinions must be respected. As the supervisor, I must maintain the accuracy of the deceased's file."
Glennie spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore."
He looked very calm, as if he really didn't care at all.
But no one knew that his life creed had been shaken in this very short period of time.
If he was still the same person as before, he wouldn't care at all whether he really wanted to form a couple.
He was finally moved once, but he never expected that his kindness would be rejected by his own son.
In this moment, Glennie felt the love that Bonnie quietly gave him, and the hatred that James clearly showed.
He also felt Liang Tianyi's embarrassment.
These other people's emotional ups and downs have been difficult to cause his mood fluctuations for a long time.
After reading the file, James urged: "Okay, that's it. It's time to say goodbye to my mother."
There is a blue physical button next to Liang Tianyi's hand.
Once pressed, the crystal coffin will be ejected from the deck, fly out of the curvature bubble layer of the Heart Fire, and enter the original three-dimensional space.
The quark reactor in the coffin will then ignite, breaking down Bonnie's body into elementary particles.
When human beings stepped out of the earth, they had already formed a strict burial method in space.
Human bodies must not be thrown into space at will, as this will expose too many secrets belonging to human beings.
Even if there is an accident and the human body is lost to outer space, professional mourners must go to clean up the scene.
"Wait a minute, Bonnie left a video. We must fulfill the deceased's last wish."
James said impatiently, "There's no need. My father is a stubborn person, and he's just disappointing my mother's spirit in heaven one more time. Is that so? My father, you don't think there's any need to waste time, right?"
Bar?"
"No, I want to see it."
Glennie shook his head firmly.
This time James had no right to refuse.
Liang Tianyi clicked the play button.
A halo of light flickered in front of the three of them, and in the blink of an eye, the scene of a pale Bonnie sitting on a chair appeared.
This is holographic projection.
The current picture is that visually there is a Bonnie lying in the coffin, and another lifelike Bonnie is sitting in front of people.
If someone in the early 21st century saw such a scene, they would be frightened and faint on the spot.
But now people have become accustomed to it.
Bonnie spoke slowly and angrily.
But her articulation was very clear.
She has always had such a serious character.
Even if it was her last words, she would not allow herself to speak unclearly.
"When you see this video, my funeral should have come to an end. I have taken the excessive awakening potion ten hours ago. I have just completed the planetary excavation plan to find the mechanical tribe's settlement after we arrive ahead of schedule.
Now I only have ten minutes left to live."
"There are some words that I'm afraid I will regret if I can't say them out before I die, but are taken into the starry sky by me. Glennie, are you there?"
The virtual Bonnie in the void looked forward with a slightly hollow but inexplicably expectant look, as if she was looking at the person sitting next to her in the bar.
Although he knew that Bonnie could no longer hear his answer, Glennie still couldn't help but nodded, "I'm here."
The person in the picture suddenly smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't know if you are here or not. But it doesn't matter, I will just pretend that you are here."
Glennie saw her slightly sad smile and couldn't help but nodded, not knowing what the purpose was.
"Glenny, I want to apologize to you. I always thought I knew you very well, but now I finally know that I was wrong. I shouldn't always use other people's standards to ask you to be this or that."
"Glenny, you are who you are. You have to be the most special person in the universe to me. You know what? I lied to you, Glenny, and I love you. Yes, I love you."
"I admit that the first time I noticed you was your talent in becoming an S-class navigator in just three years. You don't agree that this is love, but I think it is. Love can have a reason, I
I'm crazy about your talent. Every move you make touches my heart."
"But I was wrong. I was wrong in only investing in my own world. So I always made demands on you and always wanted to change you. But I didn't understand that as an ordinary person with ordinary talents, I shouldn't use myself
Poor imagination to guess the mind of genius."
"Now I have to say goodbye to this universe. I finally learned to face myself. Glennie, will you forgive me? Will you become the kind of person you most want to be? When we arrive at K
Star, when we face difficulties, Glenny, you will bravely stand up and tell everyone that Bonnie’s husband is a great hero who can turn the tide in desperate situations, right?"
"Yes?"
At this point, the words stopped abruptly.
Bonnie's picture suddenly disappeared, leaving only a simulated starry sky with fluorescent lights flashing.
Glennie was stunned.
Suddenly, he fell to the ground.
He put his head in his hands and started wailing at the top of his lungs.
Tears burst out of the bank, and the pain was heartbreaking.
He finally realized that he had missed Bonnie all his life.
Perhaps the greatest sorrow in the world is that we have been together for decades, getting along day and night, but have always kept another passionate heart thousands of miles away.
Glennie finally relearned what pain and regret were.
The strong emotions that could not be suppressed finally broke through the shackles of mechanical thinking and swallowed up his newborn soul like a surging wave.
The distant UV Ceti star.
Chen Feng was silent for a long time.
Glennie broke through the limitations of mechanical thinking and completed his transformation.
