The days in Cesina City passed peacefully and steadily like a torrential river passing through it, occasionally stirring up a few small waves.After all the people heard the news of the death of the former mayor Robert Dillane, nearly a week passed, and the atmosphere of the New Year gradually became stronger on the streets in mid-December.

The anniversary of Cesina's founding will soon be here, and the New Year's celebrations will begin on December 23, and the month-long victory celebration has not yet ended.It happened to be a rest day, and boys and girls holding fresh roses could be seen everywhere on the street. When they saw couples traveling, they ran to talk sweetly, causing lovers to giggle and buy flowers.

Among the teenagers selling flowers, there are still girls selling snow-white eustomas.The pure white petals were sent up into the sky by the strong wind, like fresh snow, drifting past the window of the highest floor of the temporary administrative point.Inside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Rosie is sitting behind her desk dealing with official business. There are still two days left before the final announcement of the general election results, and she is very busy even on a rest day.

He inadvertently raised his head while he was busy, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by the petals outside the window.Rosie put down the file, walked to the window in a daze, and stretched out her hand to caress the snow-colored flower shadow through the glass. Another gust of wind came, and the petals were blown out of the next window.

In the conference room next door, Piper presided over the holographic conference. She spoke extremely fast, walked around gesticulating, and debated with the officials who remained in the second district.Rosie's election is almost a certainty. After the election results are announced, they will restart the abandoned dungeon project and build a new dungeon under the main city to accommodate the residents of the second district.

No one noticed the petals drifting past the window, and the wind suddenly changed direction, sending them to the very center of the city.Above the Gold and Silver Square, the petals swirl and fall leisurely. There are a lot of tourists in the square, distributed among the statues of great men, like slowly flowing gravel.

The statue of Robert Dylan in the center of the square has been demolished, leaving only a bare platform, on which tired people rested in groups, and naughty children laughed and chased after each other.There are footprints next to the name.

Not far away, the War Memorial Museum and the cemetery for the dead soldiers were built. Most of the dead soldiers are buried in the mass cemetery on the edge of the city, and the soldiers who made special contributions in the war are buried in this cemetery.Before the museum was built, there were already many people visiting the cemetery. They read the inscriptions on each tombstone and put flowers in front of the tomb.

White petals brushed past the gate of the museum, and in the empty venue, the newly installed holographic projector cast light.The glowing girl stood in front of the thick and dark stele, surrounded by hundreds of steles of similar shape, but she just stared at this side.

This is a special contribution monument, and the names inscribed on it correspond to the people buried in the cemetery, some of whom can't even find the remains, only the clothes tomb.Rose's eyes fell on three names side by side, Cheng Wen, Ettore Schiffer, and Chen Wei.

"Chen, Wei..." She recited the name softly, as if a newborn baby was learning a certain language.There is a sour taste between the lips and teeth, as if tears are about to fall in the next second, but it seems that they are about to smile sincerely.When her fingers touched the stele, it turned into crumbs, bits and pieces like dust of love.

The past is being buried, and the future has already begun.The breeze supported the petals and continued to float over the city concert hall. In the luxurious building with ancient Roman style, a violin solo concert was about to begin.In the practice room backstage, a young man with green eyes was wiping the strings with rosin in his hands, and his satiny blond hair was tied up behind his head.

Putting down the rosin with her white fingers, she took out the violin from the box. Parisa put the bow on the strings to test the sound, and the melody flowed like water.At the same time, a large number of listeners entered the concert hall one after another. Among the crowded crowd, a gray-haired couple walked into the hall holding each other and supporting each other.

Both Igor and Su Qing were dressed very formally, and Su Qing still had a brooch made by herself pinned to her chest.After the victory in the war, Rosie offered to take them back to the main city, and the two old people naturally agreed.There is no more suitable environment for retirement than the main urban area that is isolated from radiation, not to mention Su Qing's storefront, and of course, the soil where art takes root.

Petals of eustoma then slid across the dome of the music hall and towards the windows of the Hunter's Guild headquarters.Rolla walked to the table with two stacks of contracts, placed them in front of Nelson and Kate, and reminded them to read them carefully with a smile.

The clauses in the contract indicate that Yan Ling will soon be assigned to the guild, the construction project of the new underground city has started, the second district will eventually be relocated to the underground of the main city, and the distinction between guild and branch will lose its meaning.Under the premise of retaining the original title, Yanling will directly belong to the management of the guild, which is what Rolla and Deng Huailing negotiated during the war.

Nelson and Kate flipped through the contract, discussed with each other for a while, and signed on the last page.They stood up and shook hands with Rolla, and then left the headquarters to return to the second district. Before the completion of the new dungeon, they still decided to stay in the second district to watch carefully.

It's just that there is one clause missing in the contract. Rolla didn't invite them to be the principals of Yan Ling, although they already are in essence.The position that once belonged to Deng Huailing has always been vacant, as if waiting for the return of the real master.

Under the clear sky, the petals were blown up to the sky again, this time it was mixed into the falling holographic cherry blossoms in Kabukicho, falling with the rain of flowers.Yukino Tsukino walks through the rain with a paper bag full of ingredients, smiling and walking backwards from time to time, chatting with Bai Shijin who is also carrying a large and small bag behind her.She wears earrings and has the same short haircut as her sister's, without highlights.

They also just came back from the second district, and with the people of the original God's Residence, they found a new stronghold in Kabukicho.There are still pimps and prostitutes in this noisy red-light district, Xue Nai stares at a pornographic poster, pretends to ask Bai Shijin about adult issues, and laughs after the other party's ears turn red: "I'm just kidding, Jin!"

All gray industries have returned to their pre-war prosperity, and so has the black market.The dried and withered petals finally fell down the deep well of the black market to the bottom, fluttered and landed on a broken signboard, and never moved again.The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses passed by the signboard, stopped briefly, and turned his head to glance at it lightly.

He remembered that on the broken signboard, it should have been written "Prosthetic Limbs Sales, Bionic Human Transformation". This place was not the ammunition store in front of him, but a private clinic. There was a smiling red-haired girl at the front desk.Guests, whether they are cheated or abducted or treated for free, all depend on their mood.

The doctor weighed the package on the back, which contained a soaking jar filled with formalin solution.He came to the main city to retrieve the killer's heart. Piper found the jar while inventorying the collection room, and then told Rosie, who then asked him if he wanted someone to send it to East 5.

He still chose to come to the main city in person, revisiting the old place with thoughts that he didn't know the so-called, although he no longer planned to come back.Even if the second district will eventually be relocated below the main city, he has decided to stay in East 5 forever, even if the future East 5 underground city will become a lonely ghost town.

There are always people who refuse to board the ship drifting to the future because of the sword that fell at the bottom of the water.When Rosie is bound by the chain called responsibility and has to go to the future, the doctor decides to say goodbye to the future.Fortunately, he has long been used to being alone.

Carrying the package on his back, he walked past the arms store.The arms dealers in the shop were selling all kinds of weapons. Next to the guns and ammunition displayed on the shelves, there were no longer any signs of combat bionics. The bionics were banned in Cesina City, and even disappeared from the black market.

After the industry of selling the external equipment and video of the Magic Ocean system was booming, it was ruthlessly attacked by Rosie with an iron fist. Batches of pirated equipment were dumped into the garbage dump, and smugglers were thrown into prison. Since then, no one has dared to cross the cold red line.

This is a city without bionics, without a fantasy sea system, it seems to be no different from before the war, and it seems that infinite changes are happening quietly.Cities are freed from the world of data and embrace the real world, but whether the real is better than the virtual still needs time to test.

On the one hand, there is a sharply falling unemployment rate and a balanced social structure, on the other hand, there are lost dreams and limited productivity. No one can guarantee that this is the end of all disputes. Maybe there will still be endless conflicts in the city in the future, but from the momentCome, the city of Cesina is still safe.

The city is slowly healing from the wounds of the war, and this ark carrying mankind sails back to the future with sparkling water patterns.Many people were left behind in the war, but on this day, another person walked into the future——

In the private hospital affiliated to the Hunter's Guild, the equipment in the intensive care unit flickered regularly and issued a special beep.Chaotic footsteps echoed outside the corridor instantly, and the medical staff on the entire floor rushed to the outside of the glass of the ward. They did not have an emergency to deal with, but could not believe the wake-up signal reported by the equipment.

Amidst the exclamation of "this is impossible" and "this is a miracle", they stared into the glass with jaw-dropping eyes.The eyelashes of the unconscious young man on the bed moved and he opened his eyes sleepily.

When Rolla and Grace rushed into the hospital and ran along the corridor to the glass of the ward, the medical staff had already turned off the medical equipment, pulled out the messy tubes on Deng Huailing, and planned to transfer him to the general ward.As soon as she heard the news that the other party had woken up, Rolla couldn't believe it yet, but the sight in front of her proved that miracles were possible.

Deng Huailing was leaning on the bed arguing with the medical experts in charge of him. He seemed to be in good condition, but his brown eyes were full of irritability, like a wild beast eager to break free from its shackles.His whole body was attached with fixators to protect the fracture site, like a thin mech covering the human body, preventing him from moving.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he was sober was to ask the nurse Cesina about the current situation, and the second thing was to ask the experts to remove the retainer on his body.He was in a hurry to see Rosie, but this happened to be an embarrassing time. His fracture had initially healed, but he had not yet reached the point of removing the fixator. If he moved forcibly, the risk of a second fracture could not be ruled out.

"I said long ago that I'm fine... well, good afternoon, Proprietress," Deng Huailing turned his eyes, looked at Rolla who walked in the door, and the little reporter behind her, his tone softened slightly, "Oh, and Grace."

"How are you feeling now? Are you really all right?" Rolla hurried to the bedside and touched his forehead with concern, "Do you have any symptoms of fever or trance? I thought it was a mistake when I heard that you woke up."It is said that you have been in a coma for a month, and the medical team said that your brain may be damaged..."

"So I should have played amnesia for you just now." Deng Huailing smiled, then shook his head, "No, I don't have any discomfort, I slept for a month, and it couldn't be better. Rolla,They said that you paid for my medical expenses in advance, thank you this time, and I owe you once."

Rolla asked the medical team before coming here, and got a normal answer about all the indicators. At this moment, he looked Deng Huailing up and down a few times, and he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual, and joked: "It's not a big deal., I'm not worried about you not paying what you owe, even if you can't pay, there is Rosie. He will be elected mayor soon, and it is more than enough to pay this amount."

"Speaking of this," Deng Huailing's gaze became urgent again, and he stared at Rolla seriously, "Can you help me talk to this group of rigid experts and let them remove the retainer from my body?Gotta go find Rosie, he must be going crazy after I've been in a coma for so long."

"Uh, well," Rolla was at a loss for words, with a delicate expression on her face, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You haven't fully recovered from your injuries, so you don't need to act so hastily. Also, actually..."

"Actually, you didn't tell Rosie that I survived the explosion, did you?" Deng Huailing said unsurprisingly.When he learned that the medical expenses were paid by Rolla in advance, he guessed most of it. If Rosie knew that he was still alive, then Rosie must bear the expenses, and Rolla would not be responsible for anything.

In the phone call before the nuclear bomb exploded, he did not mention to Rosie the explosion-proof invention given to him by the doctor. After all, the doctor's invention has not been tested, and the toxin has spread to the whole body.Say goodbye.

Rosie cried a lot on the phone and was probably devastated to learn of his death.Although he could understand Rolla's reasons for withholding news of his survival, Rosie's emotions worried him.Deng Huailing lowered his eyes, thinking quickly, making a holographic call to Rosie would inevitably be taken as a prank, and it would be more appropriate for him to go to the other party by himself.

No matter what, he had to leave this hospital today and embrace his long-lost lover in his arms.
