Overturned Tower

Chapter 636 Transformed into a bird

At first, it was just the feeling of being moved and shocked by seeing something great.

Even though people in this world have never thought that there is a new world beyond the sky; even though in their understanding, the sky has never been blue, and ultramarine has always been synonymous with the sea...

But when the first rocket took off, people still subconsciously held their breath.

Some kind of emotion from deep within the bloodline is awakening.

That is the human longing for the sky.

Even if the sky is sealed, the books are destroyed, and history is cut off. Everything became a secret.

But what is flowing in that bloodline will not be forgotten by humans, let alone forgotten.

Hope conveys hope, and love connects love.

Then, miracles called miracles——

At the beginning, not all relevant parties were willing to participate in the "Meteor Project."

Even after Fantasy was imprisoned, only a few people could participate without hesitation.

Everyone has his or her own relationships in society. They all have their own parents, children, friends, and lovers.

After all, because this plan does not require everyone to sacrifice for it.

Are there dangers in this plan? Will they encounter misfortune in the process? Does the plan need to use them if it is to be successful? Do they still have room to wait and see? Are they being morally kidnapped and forced to sacrifice by others? Or are there others hiding too...after they have tried their best, the most despicable people will stand up and steal the fruits of victory?

People have no obligation to sacrifice for anything other than themselves.

When others remain silent, being able to withstand people's gaze and decisively stand up and choose to sacrifice requires a rare kind of courage - not the courage to sacrifice, but the courage to embark on a different path from others.

This is exactly the conspiracy of Zhang Sheng.

Maybe it’s because he lived too long and stood too high, maybe it’s because he witnessed a war that destroyed everything, maybe it’s because he personally created an inhumane divine device and won because of it, maybe it’s because of his consciousness It has long been transformed into absolute "0" and "1", leaving no room for any "possibility" and "uncertainty"...

He sincerely distrusts humans.

But Russell doesn't blame him.

"…because he had never seen that miraculous light."

Russell opened his mouth slightly in the silent night and said softly: "The meteor flying backwards."

In the dark night, he stood on the top of the mountain with Delphinium and Bad Sun. He looked up at the shooting stars that were still flying sparsely in all directions.

Half a month ago, these meteors once covered the sky. Just these fires burning from bottom to top illuminate the sky.

Now they are becoming scarce again, simply because rocket launch bases are full. Until these two days, it was just vacant.

Eighteen thousand psychic powers. Twenty-three thousand rockets.

This place was originally covered by ice and snow, but due to the continuous launch of rockets around it, the surrounding ice and snow completely melted. Warm enough to stand outside without protective clothing.

A month has passed since the first meteor flew backwards and hit the sky with free bullets...

Increasingly cold ice and snow have covered most cities. The surface temperature has dropped to minus sixty degrees.

The city that could still light up in the past has now fallen into complete darkness. Human activity comes to a complete halt. The former upper city has been completely reduced to ruins covered by ice, while the lower city, which was once dark and shadowy, is lit up with sparse lights.

Only those involved in Project Meteor will travel to Uptown wearing hazmat suits.

"Like you said, all of them are heroes."

Bad Day whispered, "When everyone steps up, everyone is a pioneer."

The light in his pupils had long gone out.

He had been prepared for sacrifice - but humanity did not rely on the psychic powers of the Bad Sun.

As early as his third day on the job as "dropper," a better, safer landing system was developed and built.

At that time, Bad Day felt a sense of loss. But at the same time, I felt a sense of joy and an inexplicable touch.

It's not that people have some kind of distrust of him. But because everyone is doing their best for a common future——

They cannot leave all the responsibility, all the work to him alone. The meaning of civilization is to help each other.

So Bad Sun boarded the rocket and returned his psychic energy to the silent sky with a relieved smile.

And after that, there is Delphinium.

She had given birth for less than a month at that time and was still in the puerperium. She did not have to take the risk of going to heaven. No one would blame her.

But Delphinium gently but firmly rejected Xia and Bingshui's attempts to stay.

"I am one of the most powerful psykers in the world. There is no room for retreat. This is my duty.

"When I take the first step, others will follow. I know that for sure."

What she said was true.

When the delphinium also boarded the rocket and flew into the sky. More "shooting stars" were born from the silent crowd.

After returning her psychic powers, Delphinium returned to a human body and became extremely weak. The extreme cold and falling took her half a month to recover.

Today is the last day. Although she was still a little tired and weak, she still accompanied Russell firmly.

"They are all pioneers when the darkness is broken."

Delphinium spoke softly.

When she gave up her psychic powers, she felt moved and relieved.

That is not the power that represents happiness in the first place.

The psychic powers that psykers possess are the result of the many pains they have experienced in the past. The process of continuously increasing the red shift is exactly the process of constantly digging into this pain and distorting one's own mind as an ordinary person.

But now, in order to save the world, she returned this power and said goodbye to her own demons; only now can she let go of her former childish self.

"I have grown up too..."

Delphinium murmured.

The girl in her arms raised her head curiously and screamed wildly.

The meteors flying backwards are like bursting fireworks. Lights up children's eyes.

Feathers ignited by flames always fly upward with a glow.

The pure flame that rose in the eternal night that day brought light and drove away darkness.

People's conformity does not only lead to evil. People always tend to move closer to the group, so when the group is on the right path, civilization is sublimating.

Initially it was just Mars. Then came the flames. Eventually, it will turn into a prairie fire.

Finally, as the last firework slowly extinguished in the sky.

Russell knew it was time for him to appear.

"how do you feel?"

Bad Day did not look back at Russell, but continued to look at the gradually darkening sky, and asked: "Do you think everyone has returned to transcendence? Or do you want to wait a little longer?

"After all, you don't have a second chance. If there are still some people who are trapped in selfishness and retain their own power... when you come into contact with the black dome, the 'God's Vessel' may completely dissolve. At that time, the dream will be released , the black dome cannot be broken, everyone will die."

"No need."

Russell smiled and shook his head: "I believe that people have already made their own choices.

"The dragon, the elves, the pope...the path they pursue is to control the world by themselves and the elite.

"——But I feel that if human beings are really at the fork of history where life or death is the inevitable outcome, then the most important thing to do is to give everyone the right to choose the future.

"As you said, Fuji Society uses everyone to help everyone. Its essence is to teach people to help themselves. And if I let everyone save everyone, then this is equivalent to letting humans save themselves. .”

He smiled brightly, with a fearless and bright smile on his face.

He nodded to Delphinium and said warmly: "My dear, I will be back..."

But at this moment, Delphinium suddenly walked over in a few steps, hugged Russell tightly, and buried her head in Russell's neck.

The girl in her arms still didn't know what was happening. Instead, he let out a clear laugh, hugged Russell's face with his backhand, stared at his bright eyes, and stretched out his hand to tug Russell's ears hard.

"Rather than saying goodbye...I want to hug you again."

Delphinium buried her head in Russell's arms and said in a muffled voice. The hand holding the clothes on Russell's back became slightly tighter.

"Don't be afraid. Ah, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Russell patted Delphinium's back gently as if coaxing a child. He raised his head helplessly and looked at the sky, making a gentle and soft voice: "Good boy. I will be back. Don't be afraid... don't cry."

"……elder brother."

Delphinium said softly, and gave Russell a bottle of Coke that had been warmed in her arms for a long time.

Although it was warm, its temperature dropped rapidly after it came out.

Then, Delphinium suddenly kissed Russell deeply, entwining their mouths and tongues. In the cold wind, the cold tongue actually has a hint of sweetness.

"The factory has been closed for a long time and I can't find the plum blossoms. But I have eaten a lot before."

She said softly: "Does it smell like plum blossoms?"

"some."

Russell smiled, took a half step back, stretched out his hand to unscrew the Coke, raised his head and took a big sip.

He then teased little Anna and tried to give her the Coke bottle. But just as she reached out to take it, Russell laughed and handed the Coke to Delphinium.

"The remaining half bottle is waiting for me to come back to celebrate."

Russell raised his head and looked at the night sky that had returned to silence. There were no more "fireworks" in the sky, but his pupils still seemed to be reflecting the light of fire.

——At this time, it is probably better to use that spiritual power.

Since Russell got it, there are almost no psychic powers that have been used...

"Grow wings and become a bird. The beasts of the earth are always longing for the sky."

Russell closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Human beings...

"——Without wings, how can you go up?"

Light burst out of him.

Not dazzling, not eye-catching. It's a gentle light that won't hurt anyone.

In the air, Xiao Liuli's melodious singing seemed to be ringing.

As Russell's clothes gradually fell off, he turned into a bird.

A small bluebird flew into the sky against the biting storm.

That was the mask Russell originally got.

It is the proof that his story started.
