Luo Xue opened her eyes and looked at the familiar face. The pitiful little girl held her arms tightly with both hands, tears in her eyes.
Su Yiyao didn't say anything. Even though she had made up her mind, she still didn't dare to touch Luo Xue, who she didn't know whether she was real or fake.
She was afraid that after touching her, Luo Xue would shatter like a mirage, leaving her with endless regrets once again. This was what she feared most in her heart.
No matter what happened afterwards, it was never as hopeless as when I was sitting in the coffin on the swamp.
Luo Xue looked at her quietly for a long time before she sighed.
"Why bother, Xiaoyao..."
"Ah Chou!"
Su Yiyao finally confirmed that her choice was not wrong. She was her Ah Chou, the one she thought about day and night.
With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, she hugged Luo Xue.
"A Chou...I miss you so much...really..."
"Me too."
Luo Xue, who was not good at expressing her emotions, stiffened her body slightly, but soon softened, and she gently hugged Su Yiyao's petite body with her backhand.
Today, Su Yiyao still maintains her past appearance, while Luo Xue looks like a young girl in her twenties. When they hugged each other, Su Yiyao's height just reached Luo Xue's heart.
However, after losing the pull of another force, just like every time of extinction and awakening, Luo Xue's consciousness began to fall into silence.
Su Yiyao noticed this, and she remembered Feng Zun and Huang Zun's analysis of Achou's situation when they were outside just now, and she realized that Achou's consciousness was heading somewhere at this moment.
After calming down a little, Su Yiyao hugged Luo Xue even tighter and started to practice her Taiyin Luohuang Sutra.
And under her guidance, Luo Xue's Xuanyin Huafeng Sutra also began to operate involuntarily.
Through these two mutually reinforcing and annihilating skills, Su Yiyao's aura and Luo Xue's aura gradually became harmonious, as if they had become one.
Luo Xue felt this change, and before she was about to lose consciousness, she barely opened her eyes and looked at Su Yiyao with a complicated look.
Su Yiyao's face was full of determination. No matter where Achou went, she would follow him to the end, even if it was to purgatory, she would not let go.
"No matter what lies ahead, Ah Chou, I will always be with you."
Su Yiyao stretched out her little finger and gently hooked it around Luo Xue's fingers, just like she did in the past.
"We'll make a promise to each other for a hundred years. No change!"
Su Yiyao muttered to herself, pressing her thumb against Luo Xue's and gently shaking it.
"Achou and Xiaoyao, we must live well together."
"We'll make a promise to each other for a hundred years, and we won't change..."
Su Yiyao's tears were already welling up, and her vague words were filled with tenacious confidence.
"Let's...never be apart."
With the coming of extinction, Luo Xue and Su Yiyao's consciousness dissipated together.
Finally, they no longer have to experience separation.
Chapter 250: Thirty Days and Nights of Watch, in the Name of Snow
"In the 1000nd day and 2000rd year, Zero Realm has ushered in a new round of eternal daylight. The suspended towers to are expected to enter a dormant state within three cycles, while the remaining suspended towers will continue to operate, forming a cycle after six cycles. Please make good arrangements for your life, residents."
"For the first time since the alternation of day and night, the natural disasters on the ground have shown signs of weakening. This seems to be a bad consequence caused by human overdevelopment. Experts call for protecting the environment and stopping the construction of the 2250-2300 suspended towers as soon as possible to allow the natural disasters to return to normal."
"The ground tower project has officially been declared a failure. As a result, the great sage's resolution has been rejected by the Federal Parliament for the third time. Does this mean that the sage's prestige has been affected? But in this case, the Parliament has clearly rejected it."
"The deep space monster attacked again after two days and nights. The Federation Army once again successfully protected the Zero Realm from the disaster. The leader Ephis made an important speech on this battle, thanking the ancient hero 'Li' for his protection."
"..."
With red eyes, Celis finally finished writing the press release for this cycle before the deadline. After taking a long breath, she looked up at the scorching sun outside the window that seemed to be swallowing everything, and frowned slightly.
She didn't like the eternal daylight, as it was so bright and dazzling that it made it impossible for her to sleep peacefully. Even if she drew all the curtains, she still felt uncomfortable.
How wonderful the eternal night was a few years ago. It was pitch black everywhere. If you wanted some brightness, you could just turn on the lights, but Celis only liked to light a small candle and write in the dim light.
It’s all Yong Zhou’s fault. It was Yong Zhou who caused her work efficiency to become so low that she was scolded by the editor-in-chief!
It’s not because she wants to give up!
Celis pushed all the blame onto Yong Zhou and finally stretched herself contentedly.
After sending the finished manuscript to the editor-in-chief's 2D network node, Celis threw herself directly onto her bed and buried her face in the thick quilt, blocking out all the hateful and poisonous light of eternal day.
I really want to just fall into a deep sleep without having to work or interact with others...
"Little Celis, are you home?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a gentle and soft voice.
"Uh...I'm not here..."
Celis recognized who it was, but she had no intention of getting up to greet him.
"I'm coming in."
The other party ignored Celis's resistance and walked in directly.
“Sister Ling! You’re like this again!” Celis sat up in dissatisfaction, her face full of sorrow, “I’m already working very hard, please don’t bother me all the time!”
"Haha, you naughty little girl, if I came a few days later, you would complain on the 2D network node about why I didn't come to accompany you."
The woman called "Sister Ling" reached out her hand and gently scratched Celis' nose, with a long and gentle look in her eyes, as if she was looking at an old friend.
“Mmm…” Celis collapsed directly on the bed, her face full of despair, “I was wrong! I regret it! I don’t want to work anymore! I shouldn’t have asked Sister Ling to help me find a job…”
"Isn't it your dream since childhood to join the Zero World Prophet?" Sister Ling asked with a smile.
"I, I was just joking..."
Celis said awkwardly.
In fact, when she was a child, she saw the beautiful host on the screen and was very attracted to her, so she pestered Sister Ling and insisted that she join "Zero World Prophet" when she grew up.
Who knew that work is work, and behind the glamorous appearance, there is such a tragedy and inhumanity...
"Zero World Prophet" is a very long-standing program in Zero World. There is also a publication with the same name, which mainly reports all kinds of news, big and small, in Zero World.
There are many different departments under it, and Celis currently works in the most important periodic news department, which can be said to be a position that many people cannot get even if they use backdoors.
Celis actually knew that this position was very valuable. She didn't know how many connections Sister Ling had used to get it. It was definitely not easy to come by.
But how many people can imagine the pressure of work?
However, even though she was angry, after calming down, Celis continued her job honestly. She didn't want to disappoint Sister Ling's expectations.
When Celes was very young, her parents died of illness. She no longer had any memory of what her father looked like. When her mother was dying, she entrusted the young Celes to an elegant and gentle woman, who is now Sister Ling.
Until now, Celis still remembers the scene at that time. Her mother looked at Sister Ling with an expression that seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it was full of indescribable complexity.
Sister Ling squatted down, scratched her nose, and smiled gently, "Selys...right? It's a nice name. Just call me Sister Ling from now on."
Sister Ling never told me what her job was. She just took care of little Celis all the time. Even when little Celis was no longer a child, she still looked the same as she did back then.
Celis held her chin, stared at Sister Ling intently, and asked,
"Speaking of which... Sister Ling, it has been twenty years since we first met, right?"
Hearing this, Sister Ling was stunned, a bit of trance flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said,
"Yeah, it seems like twenty years... You've grown from a tiny kid to taller than me."
"But Sister Ling, why are you still so young? I feel like in a few years, I'll look older than you!" Celis frowned and asked in confusion.
"No, I just look young. I'm already 45 years old this year." Sister Ling replied with a smile, and pointed at the corner of her eye, "Look, there are crow's feet."
Celis looked carefully for a while, and it seemed that it was true. Sister Ling had indeed aged a little...呸呸呸, she had grown up a little. Well, girls don't grow old.
"Sister Ling, I thought you were a thousand-year-old fairy who would never grow old." Celis patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, saying.
"How can it be."
Sister Ling was just smiling, but when she inadvertently looked out the window, the smile on her lips faded a little, revealing a faint, imperceptible sadness.
"Okay, Sister Ling, please go out first. I really want to go to bed!"
Celis stood up and pushed Sister Ling for a few steps.
"I haven't slept for 20 to 30 hours. I'm very sleepy."
"Hey, don't you take a break?" Sister Ling didn't resist and let Celis push her, but she still said with concern, "You still need to take a break. Do you want me to talk to the editor-in-chief and ask him to slow down on your manuscript?"
"do not want!"
Celis pouted and said, "My colleagues are privately saying that I got in through the back door. Although it's true, it's just annoying... So I want them to shut up! I want to write the best manuscript!"
Although I say this, the manuscript will most likely not be completed before the deadline.
Decadence and striving always appear in two phases in Celis, but this is probably a common trait of all people...
Sister Ling was pushed out of the room by Celis. She wanted to turn back and say a few more words to Celis, but when she looked out the window, she saw that Celis had fallen on the bed and was snoring.
Sister Ling smiled slightly and hooked her fingers. The quilt on the bed seemed to have its own consciousness and gently wrapped Celis up.
Although it is always daytime, it is not hot on the suspended tower at an altitude of 5,000 meters. If you forget to cover yourself with a blanket, you will catch a cold.
After doing all this, the tenderness on Sister Ling’s face faded a little.
She turned her head and looked at the middle-aged man who had been waiting for a long time, and said,
"Let's go."
"Yes, sage."
......
"She is a wise lady after all. Isn't it a bit too much to refute her proposals continuously..."
"Don't worry. The real decision-making power in the Federation now belongs to our parliament, not the Sage. This was a decision she made six days and nights ago! She... should understand, right?"
"Besides... the wise lady is old and her thinking is too rigid. Why is she so obsessed with the ground tower plan? Just build more suspended towers."
"I don't agree with your point of view. Today, the natural disasters have weakened and many suspended towers have been forced to dormant because..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Today's topic should be to continue to reject the decision of the Sage. You should think carefully about how to face the Sage directly."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other members of parliament fell silent.
There is a lot of pressure from the outside world now. Many people are saying that the parliament is rebelling against the sage who has ruled the federation for nearly thirty days and nights, and that is why they have publicly refuted her decisions many times.
The parliament had its own complaints about this. Rather than refutation, these times were more like attempts to persuade the wise man to postpone the resolution.
A postponement is a postponement after all, but we will always have to face a new round of ground tower proposals called by the Sage.
The noisy parliament was filled with voices, and almost all of the 132 members were worried, while a few were excited and looking forward to witnessing this historic moment.
However, all the chaotic noises stopped instantly when a light sound of footsteps was heard from the public meeting platform. All the members held their breath and stared intently at the backstage of the public meeting platform.
A gentle woman who looked to be in her early twenties walked out gracefully. The slight smile in the corners of her eyes and her gentleness made people feel good.
She looked much younger than any other member of parliament present. Even the youngest members were rarely younger than forty.
Members of Parliament who are under the age of 40 can be called young members of Parliament. Such a genius may only be found once in five or six parliaments.
But in fact, this wise man who looks quite young has been looking after the Federation for nearly thirty days and nights, which is converted into years... more than three thousand years.
No one knows how the Sage has spent these thirty years, nor does anyone know why she can remain forever young. Her existence is a mystery.
But what is certain is that without the Sage, there would be no Federation today.
Thirty days and nights ago, after the ancient hero "Li" defeated a complete deep space behemoth at the cost of a suspended tower, the Federation finally ushered in a brief peace.
But this brief peace did not last long. It seemed that some kind of abnormality was brought about by the giant beasts in deep space. The natural disaster began to change, and countless giant beasts contaminated by the natural disaster completely ravaged all the camps of the gatherers on the ground.
Fortunately, the sage handed over the research report on the disaster engine in time, which, together with some heritage from previous civilizations, saved some of the people.
But this was only the beginning of the disaster. Soon, more abnormalities were emerging, even happening to some people with special abilities who had been exposed to natural disasters. It eventually turned into a disaster that spread to all the suspended towers.
At that time, the Federation existed in name only and was no longer able to maintain the continuation of civilization. It was still the sage who stood up and led a team of people with special abilities to eliminate threats while developing a drug to eliminate mutations.
In the end, this disaster lasted for three days and nights. The sage led human civilization out of this haze and established the current federation.
Six days and nights ago, the Federation was completely controlled by the Sage. It was not because she liked to monopolize power, but because of public opinion, she had to take on such an important task.
Anyone who tries to take over power from her will be severely criticized by the people, and even she cannot stop it personally.
