Bengtie: A card pool character who gives knives to players

"Um?"

"Look over there—"

Following Walter's gaze, Ji Zi's pupils trembled slightly.

They were a few nameless tombstones that had long lost any traces of carving, and it was unknown how many years had passed.

In front of the tombstone, a figure was standing guard.

Like a lifelike sculpture, motionless.

They both had the same illusion.

The space around that person was like a mirror about to break, along with him.

His profile was full of the vicissitudes of life, one of his pupils was gray and lifeless, with a hint of aimless confusion in it, indicating that he was still alive.

Just from a distance, you can feel the loneliness emanating from it.

Maybe he is the only one left in this world.

Ji Zi took the lead and gradually approached.

"...Do you still remember who you are?"

The statue-like man did not react at all, as if he had lost his senses.

After a while, Walter and Ji Zi looked at each other.

"Sir, we are unknown passengers on the Star Express. This place will soon become history. Will you leave with us?"

Perhaps a certain keyword touched him, and the man guarding the inscription finally turned his pupils to look at them.

With just one glance, Ji Zi and the other person both heard a resolute cry that penetrated their souls.

[The body dies in the mountains and rivers...]

There was another sentence after that, but I couldn't hear what it was.

The vows made in the past cannot escape the erosion of time.

"Star Train...History..."

The man murmured, his long gray hair fluttering in the wind, covering half of his face.

Ji Zi asked him again if he still remembered the past and himself.

"The Holy Envoy of the Tianyu Clan... Lingzhou."

"Mr. Lingzhou, how many years have you spent here? What are you guarding? What unfinished business do you have?"

"I... I don't remember now. Maybe I was waiting for someone, something..."

"But I haven't waited yet, I don't know if I can wait..."

"Go away. My past has lost its meaning."

Ji Zi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Walter.

The latter shook his head at her.

Ji Zi was silent for a few seconds before leaving the last words.

"Mr. Lingzhou, this world has withered and is about to perish."

"If you want to regain your lost meaning, please board the Star Train and say goodbye to this place."

"Only by living can we give meaning to the past."

After saying that, Ji Zi motioned Walter to leave.

But every time they walked a certain distance, they would look back at Lingzhou.

Until I stepped onto the landing ship and looked out the hatch for the last time.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

half a minute...

Ji Zi sighed and no longer lingered.

The hatch closed, the spacecraft's engine roared, and it disappeared into the sky.

The nameless tombstones dissolved into fine sand one after another and disappeared from Lingzhou's sight with the wind.

He slowly stretched out his hand, as if trying to hold on to the things that were disappearing, but he could not catch anything.

"The old vows are inscribed on the cold monument... We meet again at the place where we parted..."

However, the last remaining thing has been blown away by the wind.

"Why bother? Why bother?"

A pair of broad white wings suddenly spread out.

A little light gradually appeared in his gray eyes, he looked up at the starry sky and soared into the sky.

"Welcome aboard the Starry Sky Train, Mr. Lingzhou."

After reading the last paragraph, Ah Xian didn't know what to say for a moment.

He just kept chewing his lower lip.

Only after he had bitten a small hole and his lips and teeth were stained with the taste of blood did he take a deep breath with some discomfort.

"Before seeing the second character story, I'm afraid no one would doubt Ling Zhou's fun-loving nature, right?"

“I didn’t expect that his past was full of vicissitudes.”

"It really is just as someone said..."

"The fun-loving personality may be a defense mechanism to mask inner pain."

"He smiles at you, but you don't know whether that smile can hide the sadness of the past."

"Although the second character story doesn't give much information, it's enough for us to speculate on many possibilities."

"Considering Lingzhou still has a five-star form, the four-star form has three backstory stories left, so it may not reveal all of its past."

"But it doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time."

[My body has died in the mountains and rivers, the old oath is engraved on the cold monument, and I see the place where we parted again... I'm so sad, every word is sharp! ]

[There's probably one sentence missing, one that even Jizi Walter doesn't understand.]

[I am not well educated, so I just tried to understand the reading.]

[The first sentence is: I am willing to die in exchange for the mountains and rivers to remain forever.]

[The second sentence: Even in death, the oath of the past cannot be forgotten on the cold tombstone.]

The third sentence is more general. I guess it means that after everything is settled, we will meet again at the place where we parted.

[The last sentence is the most poignant. Do you think the place where the tombstone is erected is the place where we will meet again?]

【…】

When a voice is recognized by more and more people, even if it is impossible to confirm whether the voice is true, it will become a temporary truth.

Many players began to think that there might have been only one tombstone at first... no, not even one, but there were several people.

As time went by, there were more and more tombstones and fewer and fewer people, until finally Lingzhou was the only one left.

How much does he carry, and what kind of fate does he bear?

"Ah—I'm so anxious! I really want to know!"

Chapter 125 I Have Been Drifting for Half My Life

There are many people who are anxious, but it's a pity that it's useless.

King Jiji has no way to transcend the law of time, after all, the server has just been launched.

The big ones are at the back.

No matter how much Ah Xian screams and scratches, he can only return to the plot mission first.

Leaving the mechanical house and heading towards Krippenburg, as soon as I reached the entrance, I saw Shiluwa walking down the long ladder holding a guitar.

He seemed a little depressed and absent-minded.

Jeppard stepped forward and said, "Sister, you have finished talking with Lady Bronya. What did you say?"

Shiluwa came back to her senses and gently stroked the guitar strings.

"Without saying much, she respected my choice and gave it to me."

"I never thought that after more than ten years, I would see this guitar that was made by Cocolia again. What a fateful encounter."

Xing: "Cocolia also likes rock music? I didn't realize."

Shiluwa: "She doesn't like it. When we were in the military academy, we all liked to tinker with weird things."

"Under the guise of exploring the infinite possibilities of new technologies..."

"This guitar is one of the creations we made back then. It's called... the Super Electromagnetic Stream Player, or simply the Electric Guitar."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go back."

"Pack your luggage first. I'll set off once Bronya successfully assumes the position of Grand Guardian."

The word "farewell" is sad, so it is better to say less about it. It would be better to replace it with "departure".

Shiluwa thought so.

Jeppard's expression was complicated: "You haven't told your sister about this yet, right?"

"Uh, no. If I tell Lingbao, I'm afraid I'll be soft-hearted if she makes that expression."

Shiluwa smiled awkwardly.

Jeppard said dejectedly, "What about me, sister?"

Sylva: "You are not a child anymore, but a role model for the Silvermane Iron Guard."

"..."

Jeppard said nothing.

Regardless of whether they are children or not, it is ultimately a farewell between siblings, and age has nothing to do with it.

The brother and sister walked side by side and fell into silence again.

Xing turned her head to look at Lingzhou who was... uh, eating fruit.

Send a request for intra-team voice communication.

(From my perspective, Shiluwa doesn’t look like she’s resolved her feelings, but she’s already decided to get on the bus.)

(It’s still early, so wait and see.)

(Oh, it’s not even close to the point where I need to intervene, right? I understand.)

"By the way, brother, Bronya also asked me to give you a mission."

Shiluwa remembered that Bronya had told her the important tasks before she left.

"She's currently unavailable. I'm ordering you to lead your men to the lower districts tomorrow to survey the situation around Panyan Town and negotiate with the civilian organization, Dihuo."

When it came to business, Jeppard's expression became serious.

"What is your negotiation tendency?"

As for surveying the surrounding situation, needless to say he knew what to do.

"She just said she wanted to reach a consensus with the Earth Fire Organization, but didn't go into too much detail."

Jeppard thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"I understand, sister. Since you're leaving anyway, please do me one more favor. Consider this your last time before we part... take care of your brother."

Hearing this, Shiluwa turned to Jeppard with a look of surprise.

"Brother, you reminded me of something from my childhood."
