Chapter 216 The Sad One

2023 5 Month 17 Day.

This is an ordinary day, a day that will not be remembered by history.

early morning.

Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital, Inpatient Department, 17th Floor.

Zheng Xiangyue got up from the hospital bed early, washed, brushed her teeth and changed her clothes.

The ward was unprecedentedly quiet.

In the past, at this time, her brother would wake her up quietly, and then she would mischievously turn over and pretend to be asleep and stay in bed. It was not until her brother picked her up and put her on the stool in the bathroom that she would be willing to open her hazy eyes, take the toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed on it from her brother... and lazily put it in her mouth.

but now……

Zheng Xiangyue felt that she had grown up.

The moment her brother left forever, she grew up unexpectedly.

she found.

I don't know when she learned to get up early and learned to tidy up everything. It turns out that she can fold clothes, and fold them very well and neatly. It turns out that she can also clean the room spotlessly and wipe the mirror on the sink by standing on a stool until it is shiny and dust-free.

"Brother! Look! How much I wiped..."

Many times, Zheng Xiangyue was amazed at her own ability, but when she looked back excitedly... she didn't know who to share it with.

Although she is gradually adapting to life without her brother, she always feels that he is still around and still wants to swing on him like a sloth.

But now, it’s no longer possible.

"Because Xiangyue has grown up."

Zheng Xiangyue patted her face in front of the mirror on the sink, and her expression became strong.

She wrung out the towel in her hand and walked to the bedside table in the ward with it.

On top of it is Zheng Chenghe's urn.

She unfolded the towel, folded it, and began to wipe it carefully.

This is something she repeats every day.

It was just like when she was a child, her brother took care of her dressing, washing, eating and waking up.

"I want to grow up quickly."

Zheng Xiangyue touched her brother's urn, and her expression became serious:

"In another 20 years...I will be a big sister."

After washing the rag and placing it on the balcony to dry, Zheng Xiangyue looked at her watch and saw that the time was up.

She picked up the remote control and turned on the Internet TV in the ward.

It contained a live broadcast address that she had collected for a long time.

That is the official press conference address of the famous space company SPACE-T. Today, at this time, the boss of this company and the world's richest man, Elon Jaske, will hold a press conference to the world to announce the latest progress of his lunar travel plan.

The network signal is loading slowly.

Zheng Xiangyue climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged.

Then he stretched out his hands, took his brother's urn, placed it in front of him, and prepared to watch the moon travel press conference with his brother.

This was something they had agreed on before.

But... my brother never agreed to my wish to be buried on the moon until he died.

From now on, no one will be able to realize this wish.

nobody……

I can let myself go to the moon.

Swish.

The screen on the network TV refreshed, and it was clear that the SPACE-T "Moon Travel Conference" had already begun for some time. The world's richest man, Jask, was standing in the middle of the stage and giving a passionate speech:

"People's yearning and enthusiasm for traveling on the moon are obviously much higher than traveling in space! So far... all 10 tickets for the moon travel plan have been sold out! Let us congratulate these 10 passengers, you will be the second group of travelers and pioneers to land on the moon in human history!"

As he spoke, Jask opened the greeting card in his hand and read:

"First of all, the first lunar traveler! Congratulations to our old friend. After participating in the SPACE-T space travel project, he once again became the first passenger of our lunar travel plan--"

"Larry Connor!"

Snap Snap Snap Snap Snap Snap…

There was warm applause at the press conference, and everyone sent their truly envious congratulations to this American real estate tycoon.

……

Donghai City Zhoupu Prison, lethal injection execution room.

Ji Xinshui was tied to the execution bed calmly, with a smile on his face and his eyes closed, as if he could already hear the warm applause from the Genius Club welcoming him.

The incandescent light in the execution room shines down like a thousand-foot-long ray of light.

This fake death that fooled the world and history was his stepping stone to the genius club.

Head towards that mysterious and powerful new world!

"Ji Xinshui."

Next to the execution bed, a female police officer in uniform signed the execution form and said:
"Order a song. This is your last right."

In the Dragon Kingdom.

When a death row inmate is executed, he can select a song as his execution background music.

This can be regarded as the humanistic care of the Dragon Kingdom since ancient times. Since ancient times, the last meal before execution and the underworld meal have been passed down from generation to generation.

In modern times, in order to relieve the psychological pressure of prisoners during lethal injection, they have the right to choose a song to be played during the execution.

It is worth mentioning that……

Because most death row inmates are emotionally broken at this time, they basically default to the first song in the playlist -

Don't Look at Me, I'm Just a Sheep

Therefore, this children's animation song has dramatically become the most played BGM song in the execution ground of Longguo.

however……

At this time, Ji Xinshui was different from other prisoners.

He thought about it carefully for a long time and believed that this was a very important choice and a very solemn ceremony of resurrection from the dead.

"Then..."

His old, wrinkled Adam's apple moved, and he said solemnly:

"Then play me a song... Ode to Joy."

?

Next to them, the two forensic doctors in charge of the execution and the female police officer who signed the sentence looked at each other.

This……

It really has a unique atmosphere.

But as the female police officer said, this is the prisoner's right and should be enforced.

Following her nod.

The staff started playing the song "Ode to Joy".

After the soothing orchestral prelude, the violin prelude instantly began, and the high and intense rhythm instantly resounded throughout the execution chamber.

This is a symphony that is familiar to people all over the world.

"Ode to Joy" was originally a poem written by the German poet Schiller in 1785. Later, Beethoven composed music for it, which became the main part of the fourth movement of his Ninth Symphony.

This is the crowning masterpiece of Beethoven's career.

It symbolizes a bright and passionate future for mankind.

Listening to this dignified and elegant symphony... Ji Xinshui's expression also became serious and respectful. He closed his eyes and felt the joyful golden temple.

The executioner pushed a hose needle into Ji Xinshui's vein.

Ji Xinshui is fearless.

He knew very well...

There are three injections in total for the death penalty.

The first shot is an anesthetic, which will make you gradually fall asleep.

The second and third injections, which were supposed to be muscle relaxants and lethal agents, had already been replaced with saline solution by Lin Xian and had no effect.

I will gradually fall asleep in this great "Ode to Joy".

And after waking up...

You will be in the hall of genius club and meet the Copernicus you have always dreamed of.

The executor pressed the injection button.

The first injection...

Ji Xinshui gave a pious smile.

The second injection...

Ji Xinshui still smiled.

The third injection...

Season's Heart Water,
The smile remains...

After a while.

The forensic doctor walked forward, checked the data on the instrument, and nodded:

"ended."

The female police officer snorted and handed over the confirmation letter for the forensic doctor to sign:

"These demons who don't take human life seriously really deserve to die."

The forensic doctor signed and sighed:

"Hey, who says it isn't?"

……

Green-Shaded Cemetery, Brooklyn, USA.

A tall, pretty woman, who looked like a female agent from a Hollywood movie, stood in front of an upright tombstone.

The tombstone was very clean, and the words on it were carved not long ago -

季临
(2001-2023)

And right next to this erected tombstone, there is another tombstone that has been carved but is lying flat on the ground and has not yet been erected.

There are also new words engraved on it:

Ji Xinshui

(1938-2023)

"Humph."

The woman looked at the two tombstones and snorted:
"I've said it before... You two are not suited to this kind of fighting game. Can't you just live a good life? I don't know what you two are busy with every day..."

The woman pulled her long hair back and let it dance wildly in the wind:
"You have lived too good and peaceful lives since childhood, so you don't take life seriously."

She lowered her head and looked at Ji Xinshui's tombstone:

"Old man, today is the day you will be executed. I will go to Longguo in a few days to pick up your ashes... Hey, you two really know how to cause trouble for others."

"Do you remember when you found me in the ruins of the war in the Middle East? At that time, there was fire everywhere and bombs flattened everything. I still remember when you picked me up... My parents, brothers and sisters, all my family members were lying in the ruins like broken rags."

"There were charred bodies everywhere, not a single one was intact. You said I was a miracle and asked me what my name was. I said my name was Angelica. You said it was a good name, like an angel, and you adopted me from then on."

"I am very grateful to you... I have always planned to take care of you until the end of your life, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end. Old man... you really know how to save me a lot of trouble. Wait, I will go to Longguo to pick you up in a few days and bury you next to Ji Lin."

Angelica sighed, turned back and looked at Ji Lin's tombstone:
"But you, brother, you seem to have made a pretty good friend?"

"Haha, it's hard to imagine who would be willing to make friends with someone as boring as you."

She chuckled, put her messy brown hair back again, put her hands in her pockets, and walked towards the sunset:

"But if there is a chance..."

"I really want to meet him."

……

Buzz! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The roaring red McLaren drifts closely along the curve of the suburban viaduct!

The skidding rear wheels left shocking black marks on the concrete floor and drove away emitting foul-smelling white smoke.

"Awesome Susu!"

The female co-pilot exclaimed and applauded:

"So cool! Really so cool! This driving skill is just like in Initial D!"

"not enough."

Su Su frowned and accelerated towards the next bend:
"He can obviously stick closer... I don't want to lose to him again."

"Ah...that man."

The female companion laughed awkwardly.

Really are……

Ever since that incident at the Tianma Racing Circuit, Su Su has completely changed.

She practiced driving day and night.

I just want to outrun that man just once.

"Have you watched the news, Su Su? It seems that your blind date helped the Donghai City police solve a major case! They caught a lot of criminals!"

"You have no idea how much he's been hyped up in the news. He's almost like the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes! And the East China Sea government is going to hold a special commendation meeting for him, awarding him an honorary title or something."

"Humph."

Su Su chewed bubble gum and snorted coldly:
"He still has some skills."

"That's right...Now he's mentioned everywhere on the radio, in the local news in Donghai, and in short videos."

As she spoke, her female companion turned on the electronic radio on the center console of the McLaren.

……

"The Donghai City government has decided to hold a commendation meeting for outstanding individuals in the Donghai Grand Hall in the near future. XXX will personally award Mr. Lin Xian with advanced honorary titles such as "Youth Who Acted Bravely for Justice" and "Top Ten Donghai Citizens", and present him with corresponding certificates and bonuses..."

Chu Anqing was scrolling through the short videos on her phone when the electric door of a commercial vehicle opened. She jumped out of the vehicle and came to the lakeside villa complex.

"Ok?"

When she looked up, she saw that Ji Lin's villa was surrounded, with several large trucks parked around it, and some staff in uniform, who seemed to be vacating the villa and confiscating assets.

She walked over slowly.

The staff kept moving out various furniture and collectibles.

"Hello."

She walked up to a man in an executive bureau uniform and asked politely:

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

The man turned his head and immediately recognized Chu Anqing, smiling and said:
"Ms. Chu, this is to confiscate Ji Lin's assets. Their verdict has come down, and there will be fines and compensation. Ji Lin doesn't have much in the country, so they are enforcing his real estate and collections."

"oh oh."

Chu Anqing responded, and watched a staff member walk out of the room, holding an expensive-looking picture frame in both hands.

"Ok??"

She blinked and looked at the sketch in the frame in disbelief!
That, that, that...

Isn't that a sketch drawn from a photo taken on her birthday?
what happened?

Didn’t Senior Lin Xian say that he didn’t have time to paint and didn’t paint well?

Who drew this sketch?
"Please...Excuse me, can you give me that painting?"

Chu Anqing pointed at the picture frame and asked the staff of the Executive Bureau.

"This... Miss Chu, it shouldn't be possible."

The staff looked very embarrassed:
"These are assets that need to be seized and auctioned according to regulations. They cannot be taken away casually according to regulations. And that photo frame looks very expensive, so... I'm sorry."

"Then... you can give me that painting, right? It's not worth much."

Chu Anqing walked forward and pointed at the girl in the glass frame, smiling and making a scissors gesture in the middle of the sketch:

"Look, isn't this me? Hehe, this is just a picture I drew casually between friends. It's not a masterpiece by a famous artist. It won't fetch much at an auction. It's not valuable. I just wanted to keep it as a souvenir."

The staff of the Executive Bureau looked at the painting and finally nodded:
"Well, indeed, the only valuable thing is this gold-framed picture. The painting itself is basically worthless... You can take it."

He opened the lock on the back of the picture frame, pulled out the painting inside, and handed it to Chu Anqing.

"Thank you!"

Chu Anqing took the painting and walked past several villas and came to her own villa.

She spread the sketch on the table...

"Sure enough, this handwriting and this technique are indeed drawn by Senior Lin Xian. There is no doubt about it."

An idea struck.

She ran back to the room, took out her watercolor brush and paint palette, then opened her cell phone album to find the photo. She mixed colors on the paint palette while looking at the photo, and then filled the colors on the sketch.

soon……

When the watercolor dried, a colorful portrait of three people appeared on the paper.

Looking at this "masterpiece", Chu Anqing couldn't help but laugh:
"Senior Lin Xian is right... sketch + watercolor, what a perfect mix."

She went to the second floor, found a random picture frame, framed the watercolor sketch in it, then went to her bedroom and hung it on the wall.

"Hmm... it looks good from a distance."

Chu Anqing was very satisfied with this work.

Then, she shifted her gaze to the left, looking at another painting framed next to it...

That, too, was a sketch.

The girl in the picture has her hair in a bun, her beautiful eyes are smiling like crescent moons, and two dimples are faintly visible at the corners of her mouth. This sketch is the birthday gift that Ji Lin gave her.

Of course she knew that this painting was stolen by Ji Lin from Lin Xian... If she remembered correctly, this painting should have been sandwiched in Lin Xian's black notebook. She had seen the notebook on the desk when she went to the police station to deliver food to the two of them.

Although she was suspicious at first...

But after talking with Gao Yang, she was truly certain that the girl in Senior Lin Xian’s painting... was indeed herself!

because!

He doesn't have a single female high school classmate who looks like him!

Think of this every time.

Chu Anqing couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot...

When did Senior Lin Xian draw this picture?

Yes……

Was it after we first met at the MX celebration party that night?

Doesn't that mean...

Chu Anqing shook her head hurriedly, too embarrassed to continue thinking about it.

She shifted her attention and looked back at the watercolor sketch of Lin Xian, Ji Lin and herself on the right.

"Then this sketch... when did Senior Lin Xian draw it?"

Her father told her a few days ago that when Lin Xian went to interrogate Ji Lin, he turned off all the surveillance equipment, and she didn't know what the two talked about specifically.

But after Lin Xian came out of the interrogation room, his eyes became much more determined. Without any hesitation, he was ready to implement the next plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

Presumably... he must have gotten some answer.

Later, when Ji Lin came out of the interrogation room, he was holding a sketch that Lin Xian gave him.

Then I think it must be this one.

Chu Anqing held her chin and thought...

"Senior Lin Xian, did you go home temporarily to paint this picture in order to trick Ji Lin into giving you testimony, play the emotional card, or influence Ji Lin?"

"Or……"

"He had finished the painting long ago, but he didn't want to give it to Ji Lin at the time, so he lied and said he was busy with work and didn't finish it?"

Chu Anqing shook her head.

Can't guess.

but.

She would rather believe...

Was this painting already drawn at the beginning?
……

Shemxi, Xian, suburbs, low houses.

Liu Feng picked up the photo frame on the table.

Inside was a graduation photo of him and Li Qiqi. The two of them, wearing bachelor's gowns, took the photo while sitting in front of the school library. This was the last photo of the two of them.

He folded up the bracket behind the photo frame and put it into his backpack along with the things on the table.

Pull up the suitcase next to you.

Looking at the clean and tidy house...

The luggage for this trip is packed.

He hadn't traveled far away for a long, long time, and this time, he was obviously going to be away for a very long time.

"I'm leaving, Qiqi."

He looked around the house that would be empty for a long time. Every little detail and corner of the house showed traces of his life with Qiqi.

then.

He opened the door and strode out.

Walk out onto the street and hail a taxi.

Seeing that Liu Feng had a lot of luggage, the enthusiastic driver opened the door and got out of the car, opened the trunk, and helped Liu Feng put the heavy suitcase in:
"Hey, it's so heavy... Where are you going, young man? You have so many things with you."

"To the East China Sea."

"The East China Sea is great, there's a lot of fun eating, drinking and having fun. Are you going on a trip alone?"

"No." Liu Feng shook his head:

"Where can I find friends? I'll go to the East China Sea to do research."

"Doing research?"

The driver raised his head and looked at Liu Feng with sudden realization:

"Oh! I see! You are a scientist! What kind of science do you study?"

Liu Feng shook his head:

"I'm not really a scientist... I'm just a student studying mathematics, I don't deserve to be called an expert. And... my research results have been verified many times, and they are all wrong. There are no results."

The driver stood there in a daze, frowning, unable to think straight:

"Since we have tried so many times and all of them were wrong, why bother researching? What's the point of researching something that is wrong?"

"But my friend said..." Liu Feng paused and continued:
"He said that many things in this world and in the universe are not so absolute. For many things, it doesn't matter if you are wrong a thousand times, ten thousand times, or a hundred million times; for many things, it is enough to be right just once at the most critical moment."

"joke!"

The driver heard this, sneered, and said:

"What's the point of being right only once? What about that one time?"

Liu Feng smiled.

look up.

Looking at the rising sun:
"He said, maybe you only need to be right once..."

"It can save the whole world."

"I believe in him."

……

boom.

imperial capital.

A majestic and classical red building with its doors open.

Two guards stepped forward and saluted, then led Huang Que inside.

Her blue eyes stared straight ahead as she walked into the courtyard full of flowers and plants, and into the inner room. In the reception room inside, there sat several solemn and dignified dignitaries.

Chief Zhang, the leader, saw the newcomer, stood up with a smile, and clapped his hands:
"Welcome, Ms. Yellow Bird. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He stretched out his right hand and pointed at the people sitting next to him one by one:
"These are our comrades from various departments, including the security department, defense department, and aerospace department... Ms. Huang Que, we are all very grateful for the intelligence and information you have provided to the country."

"According to the joint verification of our multiple departments, the confidential information you provided is all correct and vital to our national security and national development. It is of extraordinary significance! So... today we all gathered together and want to meet you, this selfless heroine."

"Thank you, seniors."

Huang Que smiled faintly, his dark blue eyes swept over the people around him, nodded politely, and then looked at Officer Zhang in the middle again:

"Commander Zhang, since the information and intelligence I provided are correct and meaningful... has the country also considered my request?"

Commander Zhang sighed softly:

"Ms. Huang, this is why we invited you here today. We recognize your achievements and contributions, but... the fact that you want to borrow our country's [space plane] that has not yet been tested and launched and is still top secret is really... to be honest, Ms. Huang, this is not allowed in principle."

Huang Que smiled after hearing this and looked at Officer Zhang:
"Then I would like to thank Commander Zhang first."

?

You clearly refused, so why are you thanking me?

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Huang Que blinked his dark blue eyes and continued to say with a smile:
"Based on my life experience over the years and the speaking skills of the Dragon people..."

"It is not possible in principle, but it is possible; it is possible in principle, but it is truly not possible."

Finished.

Ha ha ha ha...

The leaders around couldn't help laughing. Even Chief Zhang couldn't help laughing and waved his hand.
"Sure enough, Ms. Huang is one step ahead and saw through our thoughts."

"Then I will speak frankly, Ms. Huang. I do want to bargain with you and ask you to provide us with more useful intelligence information."

"As for the aerospace plane, it is indeed as you said. In principle, it is not possible, but to some extent, it can be discussed. After all, test flights must be conducted. A few months later or earlier, as long as we are fully prepared, there is no harm in slightly adjusting the time and changing the route."

Next to him, the comrade from the aerospace department also nodded:
"According to our original plan, this space plane, which is comparable to the US X37B, was to be tested in December 2023. However...the intelligence information provided by Ms. Huang Que before is, in a sense, more strategically significant than this space plane."

"Yes."

Commander Zhang also walked towards Huang Que with his hands behind his back:
"To be honest, we have discussed this before. As long as your plan is carried out under the supervision of the Dragon Country Space Agency, launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and returned according to the planned route, there will be no major problems. We have already established enough trust in this regard."

"I just want to confirm with you... After this cooperation, are you sure you will provide us with more important intelligence and information?"

"That's for sure, Commander Zhang."

The yellow bird nodded:
"Of course I am willing to contribute more intelligence to my country, but... due to some restrictions, I really can't say it. But please believe me, after the aerospace plane plan, [flexibility] will definitely increase, and by then, the things I can say will naturally increase."

"elasticity?"

When Commander Zhang heard this word, he was a little confused.

"Sorry, I may have used an inaccurate adjective."

Huang Que stretched out his right hand and looked at Commander Zhang:
"What I mean is that ... by then, we can naturally talk about more things and more extensive cooperation."

After hearing this, everyone smiled and nodded.

In fact, the purpose of coming here today is to give Huang Que a reply.

Over the past six months, Huang Que has provided the country with a lot of help in various aspects. Although most of the help was superficial, it is of great significance from the perspective of national decision-making. Therefore, everyone trusts Huang Que very much and has already discussed and agreed to her request in private.

"Okay, that's great."

Commander Zhang also stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Huang Que.

Looking into her eyes, he smiled and said:
"Ms. Yellow Bird, thank you for your contribution to the country. I hope our future journey will be as beautiful as your beautiful eyes—"

"Towards the sea of ​​stars!"

……

Green fields.

The breeze blows.

Lin Xian stepped on the lush young seedlings, holding a bunch of yellow and white chrysanthemums in his hand, and walked towards the grave in front.

That is where Tang Xin is buried.

The surrounding area is also full of green branches and leaves.

Lin Xian bent down and put down the bunch of exquisite chrysanthemums.

The chrysanthemums were not wrapped in traditional colored paper, but in a copy of the Donghae Daily newspaper from some time ago.

The newspaper headline contained the full report of the 00:42 serial murder case.

This is the most complete, final and comprehensive police report.

Including information about Ji Xinshui’s trial and death penalty.

There is also information about the deaths of Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun.

On the back, it was written that Lin Xian was commended and a commendation meeting was about to be held.

This.

This is the gift that Lin Xian promised to give to Tang Xin last time.

Another breeze blew by...

The chrysanthemums that were sticking out of the newspaper nodded one after another, as if they were telling something.

"Tang Xin."

Lin Xian called out her name, but didn't know what to say next.

He squatted down.

Take away the garbage and plastic bags that the wind has blown onto the graves:

"I have solved all the murderers of the Seven Deadly Sins. But... the real murderer seems to be someone else."

"What exactly is the Genius Club? Who exactly is Copernicus?"

Lin Xian recalled Ji Xinshui's madness and excitement in the interrogation room:
"I don't understand, but I'm going to find out."

"I don't know whether they are right or wrong; I don't know whether they are righteous or evil; but no matter what... I have to go and take a look, I have to join them, only then can I truly understand the truth of all this."

After cleaning up the garbage on the grave, Lin Xian stood up and stretched his body:
"I must also become stronger. Only then will I have the capital to fight against these powerful enemies. The world cannot shed any more blood because of the Genius Club."

"Since I'm already caught in this vortex, I don't plan on escaping or retreating, so... come on!"

He raised his head and looked at the sun above his head:

"I am ready."

Turn around.

Lin Xian walked towards the road beside the field, walking on the sunshine and greenery.

Behind.

The white chrysanthemum that stretched out from the bouquet was swaying.

Like waving.

It seemed like a farewell.

It seems like a blessing.

……

Tunghai University Hospital, Zheng Xiangyue's ward.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, holding Zheng Chenghe's urn, watching the live broadcast on TV continue.

"The ninth ticket for the trip to the moon—"

Jask in the middle of the stage shouted:

"To the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics winner! The great scientist who proposed the famous "Cosmic Audit Hypothesis" -"

"Rogers Penlow!"

There was another round of applause that shook the entire audience.

This is a heavyweight boss!
Unexpectedly... he also bought a ticket to travel to the moon!
Amid the applause from the TV.

Zheng Xiangyue held the urn and sighed.

Biting her lip.

tick.

tick.

Tears dripped onto Zheng Chenghe's urn.

Zheng Xiangyue finally couldn't hold it in anymore and lowered her head...

The tears have become beads.

She touched her brother's urn, her voice choked with sobs:
"Brother...I want to go to the moon too..."

She wanted to bury her brother there, on the moon.

There, there are also mom and dad.

She checked.

The distance between the earth and the moon is 38 kilometers.

Perhaps she had never walked such a long distance in her life.

but……

These 38 kilometers.

How she wanted to take a trip.

"Think of the moon!"

At this time, the nurse pushed open the door, holding the examination form in her hand:

"Come and check it regularly!"

"Oh, oh! Good!"

Zheng Xiangyue hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, wiped the tear stains on the urn with her sleeve, jumped off the bed, and walked towards the nurse at the door.

boom.

The ward door is closed.

The show on TV is still going on.

The black and white photo of Zheng Chenghe smiling on the urn was smiling gently, watching Jask who was reading aloud on the screen.

"Then next! It's the last passenger of our SPACE-T company's moon travel plan!"

Scanning the audience and the camera, the world's richest man, Jask, announced with joy:
"This ticket is different from the other tickets. A mysterious anonymous buyer paid the full amount of 1200 million US dollars for the ticket in one go! And then gave this extremely precious opportunity to go to the moon... to a 14-year-old girl!"

"I have to say, this is a really lucky girl, a romantic gift! To use the words from my favorite science fiction novel... at this moment, she is better than all the living girls and dead princesses on earth!"

"Then... let's congratulate her together!"

Jask holds the mic high!

Read the last words on the card in your hand:

"SPACE-T Moon Travel Plan, the tenth passenger to the moon!"

"She is a 14-year-old girl from Dragon Country—"

"Zheng, Xiang, Yue!"

Volume 2, "The Sad Ones", to be continued.
