   Chapter 750 Seven hundred and forty-eight · HE · Spring White Bird

  While hugging Noah, Su Mingan injected a dose of Johnson & Johnson into Noah's neck and pushed the potion that could restore the wound.

   But AI Yeya said that this has no effect, Noah's mental state is hopeless, and now he is just forcibly maintaining his sanity.

   "Grandpa, grandpa..."

   He heard Noah calling him loudly, but this time he didn't speak, saying "don't call".

   This is proof that Noah was terribly afraid of losing him.

   He should have known that those who can survive the cataclysm for 72 years will have a sliced ​​future in the city of measurement - and those who do not exist in the city of measurement mean that they have not lived through the catastrophe for 72 years.

so…

   There is no Noah in the future.

   In the room where the red light was flashing, only a patch of blood red and a few pools of stagnant water were visible on the ground. Noah's pupils trembled slightly.

"It's ok."

   "People like me have no end."

   "I don't think that my goodwill is the product of any skill. I never regret that day when I saw you in District 11, Grandpa. It was the luckiest thing in my unhappy life."

   "Your persistence and yearning for Spring Day, and everything you have done for the ruined world... all make me fascinated. I can't resist that I don't like you."

   "Are you satisfied with the ending now?" Su Mingan whispered.

  Noah smiled.

   In his pupils, scarlet began to flicker.

   "Satisfied...very satisfied. My sacrifice has value. The half-machine army that was stopped will save countless people who should have died in the war."

He says:

   "Grandpa, I... love you."

   "I'm just some, some..."

   He suddenly choked up, tremblingly, and spat out the rest of the words:

  …

  “…I miss you.”

  …

  Su Ming'an's hands tightened.

   He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. At this moment, no words could express his feelings. It was as if... a hundred flocks of birds were flying in his chest.

   In the room where the blood-red warning lights were flashing, Noah raised his head, his lower body was unable to move, and a large amount of blood drowned his robe.

  In his eyes, there is a kind of tranquility like a wilderness, reminiscent of the golden fields, the sunflowers blooming in the flowerbeds under the spring sun. That unrestrained temperament is bolder and freer than any human being in a ruined world who is bound.

  —He is a white bird of the new century.

   Although Shiratori never stepped into the new century.

   He stretched out his hand, wiped it with his fingers, and wiped the blood from the dungeon medal on Su Ming'an's chest, making it shiny like gold, as if to say, don't let it get dusty.

   Nostalgia struggled in his eyes, and after a while, he said:

"Can you show me the vision of the city-state in the future? Can you show me what kind of world I will save in the future? Is there... a sun with the same color as me, and countless... sunflowers? "

  Su Mingan's eyes froze. He knew that it was eternal night in the city of measurement, and everyone was desperately escorting resources in the dark. There was no sunshine and spring that Noah expected at all.

   "Yeah."

  Su Mingan said in a low voice.

   He didn't suggest anything, but Yejah understood.

  “Wow—”

  A screen appeared, and after a moment of flickering, an extremely warm illusion appeared.

  In the picture—Yeya constructed a virtual scene of the city of measurement, the bustling streets and alleys, the train like a long dragon, the children running in the school with balloons, and the old man feeding the white birds with crutches.

   Between the parks, the sunflowers are in full bloom, and they are in full bloom—in the direction of the sun, like gold spread over the earth.

   "No eternal night, no blood, no frozen soldiers and mutilated corpses..." Noah muttered to himself.

   This is just a white lie from Su Mingan, a false image of a city-state.

   In fact, the current city of measurement also fell into the eternal night, and a large number of soldiers died on the way to transport resources.

   But Su Mingan helped the free white bird in front of him to weave a final and beautiful dream.

  Noah stared at the camera for a long time, his fingers wanted to touch, but through the virtual screen, he passed through the past - he is someone who cannot touch the future.

   "No matter past, present, or future, I can't cross the dimension that has been fixed."

   "The sunflower cannot really touch the sun. If it gets too close, it will be burnt, or even burned out by the distant temperature..."

   "Watching the sunshine of the sky from a distance, until it withers at last, is what it can do, the best ending."

   "So, is this scene... true?" Noah whispered.

   "Really." Su Ming'an insisted on this lie, he did not expose the cruel truth.

  Noah gasped, his eyes seemed nostalgic and happy. He put his fingers on Su Ming'an's shoulders, his blood-stained cheeks approached, and whispered beside Su Ming'an's face, his tone was the same as before.

  Like a golden retriever, he is coquettish and playful.

   "That's great... Grandpa." He pointed to the virtual image and smiled:

   "That's really..."

   "So beautiful."

"spring…"

   He breathed again.

  —Enough is enough.

  —that's what he wanted to see.

   Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and white birds are flying high.

  —that is the spring that the most beautiful dreams can’t match, and that is the spring that even the gods are jealous of.

  Su Ming'an nodded slightly.

   At this moment, the weight on his shoulders suddenly slipped. Noah closed his eyes and lowered his head.

The    heart's head was torn apart alive, and Su Ming'an's fingers trembled unconsciously. A black-spot-like pain spread from the apex of his heart.

   Until the end, Noah did not change his name, he kept calling this "grandfather" who was afraid of losing until the last second of his life.

   He wanted to look at Su Mingan more. They can walk freely on the streets and meet the clean city. Plant flowers in peacetime and patrol the edges of the world on motorcycles.

   On that day, the water was clear, white birds flew over the blue sky, their feathers scattered naturally, and the lake was dazzling.

   At that time, Noah will solemnly call him "City Lord" or "Chief". Because the war is over, he is no longer afraid of losing him, and he doesn't have to call him "Grandpa" anymore.

   But in the end,

  ...It still ends with "Grandpa".

   He hugged Su Ming'an tightly, the flame-like embrace fixed his satisfied smile on his face.

  The hidden ninja died of faith, and Shiratori finally returned to spring.

   After a while, those blue eyes like the vast sea dried up.

   The last reflection in that pupil is a constructed virtual spring and a sunflower that does not exist.

  …

  【Haruhi melts into his pupils. 】

  【Die with his life and walk with his soul. 】

  …

  —White birds die together with spring.

  …

  Su Ming'an hugged the young man's body that gradually lost its temperature.

   At the last moment, the blond young man even burst into tears, making his palms tremble as he pursed his lips, suppressing the voice deep in his throat.

  The son of Hera, who ruled the flames, died.

  Every person who is kind to him, who has good intentions for him, who is important to him, who can stir up waves in his heart, who never gives up for the freedom of mankind, is…

  “…”

   There was a slight sound from his throat, which was quickly swallowed by him and pressed down. A little crimson color appeared at the end of his eyes, which was quickly covered by black hair.

   As if in the thick clouds, there is a ray of sunshine.

  The warm yellow light outside the door sprinkled on Su Ming'an's shoulders, against the background of the blond young man with his eyes closed, whose warm hair was like sunlight.

   The blond youth leaned half of his head on Su Ming'an's right shoulder, his eyebrows were lowered, and the corner of his mouth was smiling, as if he was asleep.

Su Mingan slowly got up and picked up Noah's blood-stained body, "tick-tick-tick-tick-" The huge amount of blood stained his trousers, Noah was severely injured, and the wounds that opened the big holes were eye-catching. startled.

   Such great pain, he actually smiled and endured it until the last second.

  Su Ming'an leaned against the edge of the wall, and pushed the young man into the warm yellow light, as if... bathed in bright sunlight.

  The blond youth lowered his head slightly, leaning against the wall, half of his face melted in golden yellow, and even the sunlight adorning his eyelids was almost transparent.

   His whole body, leaning against the warm light, was like a golden red sunflower, with his eyes closed, a few strands of blond hair scattered on his cheeks. The expression on his face was calm and peaceful.

  Like, all the pains of life have dissipated.

   "Noah, you are actually the sunshine..." Looking at such a scene, Su Mingan said in a low voice.

  Sunshine why chase the sun.

  …

  【Grandpa, I promise, I will stand by your side until the last second of life. 】

  【I will never give up on you. 】

  【I will always love your soul, whether or not something controls me. 】

  【This kind of love that will make you feel guilty has nothing to do with you. 】

  【…】

【grandfather. 】

  【So beautiful...】

【spring…】

  …

   In the warm light, there seemed to be a small illusory figure there.

  The young man in blond hair held the golden sunflower in his arms. His beautiful blond hair was scattered by the wind, flowing slowly like a golden liquid; the white robe was raised high behind him, and it scatters gracefully like the wings of an angel. He brought his lips close to those colorful mottles, allowing a few colors to swirl and fall on his blue pupils.

   After a while, he turned around with a smile and called out "Grandpa", like a coquettish golden retriever, and soon, he ran into the bright sun and disappeared.

  The warm wind blows his blond hair, and his back is so free.

  …

   - He has endured too much pain in the world, and finally he can leave.

  …

   "Ding dong!"

  【You have reached (Noah) character ending: HE · Kasuga Shiratori】

  【(Spring White Bird):

   "Don't follow my whereabouts, don't sing mourning songs for me."

   "I just jumped out of time and became a part of the world."

"From now on - the white bird on the street lamp is me, the sun in the sky is me. The sunflower in the flowerbed is me, the torch that never stops day and night is me. The firefly in the day is me, and the stars in the long night are me. In the hands of the child The candy is me, and the smile on their face is me."

   "If you look up one day and see a flock of white birds returning home."

   "Please speak up and call me."

   "Maybe, I'm in it. Fly to my hometown with yearning."

   "—and the white feather that fell to you is my blessing to your life."

   "I only wish you."

   "Spring flowers are blooming."

"a peaceful life."
