Chapter 37 Memorial Service
"Tell me, how was the harvest of this trip to the secret realm?" Wei Dafa crossed his legs and asked Gu Ming with a smile while holding a thermos cup in his hand.
"Director, you have the nerve to ask, but I didn't see any of the promised support. Jiang Siyi and I almost ended up being in there this time, but fortunately we were lucky."
"Tell the important point."
"Let Jiang Siyi do the talking. She is very eloquent." Gu Ming looked at Jiang Siyi and kept reminding you with his eyes that you must explain my contribution clearly.
After all, others may not believe you if you claim credit yourself, but with the help of a talented player like Jiang Siyi, the effect will be much better.
Gu Ming is well versed in making short talk of others. If Jiang Siyi accepts his Qianren, she will definitely not talk nonsense.
Wei Dafa looked at Jiang Siyi, who also understood clearly and explained his experience in the secret realm clearly in a few words.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ming added: "That's what happened. I personally killed two masters of the Divine Sea Realm from the Black Alliance. I also took away the magic weapon in the secret realm and wiped out the Soul Eater of the Creepy King. Director, you When writing a report to your superiors, be sure to write it clearly.”
"I didn't expect you to make such a great contribution. Not bad."
Gu Ming was secretly rejoicing when he heard Wei Dafa say: "However, according to the regulations, the resources obtained in the secret realm must be handed over to the public for unified distribution. You privately gave Qianren to Jiang Siyi to recognize the master. This is against the regulations."
Gu Ming and Jiang Siyi were both stunned. Seeing their nervous expressions, Wei Dafa smiled proudly and changed the subject: "But not every secret realm can obtain magic weapons. You can destroy the Soul Eater of the Evil King and avoid its harm." Jiuzhou can be considered a great achievement.”
"As expected of the director." Gu Ming understood that Wei Dafa planned to be merciful when writing the report. In this way, Jiang Siyi's Qian Ren was saved.
"By the way, Director, Ning Yu said it himself that Song Xinghe was also an undercover agent planted by the Black Alliance in Beidou. He also said that he wanted to attack the branch to seize the visualization map. Is everything okay at the branch?"
"What kind of waves can a few small fishes and shrimps make? Don't worry, I didn't mess up your archives." Wei Dafa took a sip of tea and said, "Your boy is also unlucky this time, and you are actually allowed to talk to the secret realm. The rhyme resonates, how does it feel, how does it feel to be a strong person?"
"It's pretty good. If only I could awaken, I would at least have hope of truly controlling such a powerful force." After Gu Ming finished speaking, he asked, "Director, what happened in the city? On the way back, I saw a lot of people were injured.”
"The monsters are attacking the city." Wei Dafa said, "Speaking of which, this is all the work of the soul-devouring king of ghosts who was wiped out by you."
"It's body is in the secret realm, how could it do this?"
"The evil spirit is originally born from the evil spirit. It can use its own evil spirit to breed new evil spirits. The monsters that attacked Linjiang today are probably created by Soul Eater using the evil spirit. Yes, they appeared in various places in the county almost at the same time. The purpose is to contain Beidou's power and prevent us from arranging manpower to enter the secret realm. "
"Fortunately, there is a director in charge of the branch." Gu Ming flattered him by the way, but the flattery was actually true. If it weren't for Wei Dafa, the result would have been different.
It's just that Gu Ming is still a little regretful that he didn't see his director's heroic gesture. He has always been curious about what it would be like if Wei Dafa's 300 kilograms of fat moved.
"Now that you are back, come with me first."
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Siyi seemed to understand what he was going to do, and his expression became serious.
Under the leadership of Wei Dafa, Gu Ming walked into the conference room on the fifth floor again. However, it was different from the last mobilization meeting. The tables and chairs in the conference room had been removed. On the rostrum, there were eighteen people neatly placed. Stretchers, each with a body covered in white cloth lying on it.
The conference room was filled with colleagues from the branch. They lowered their heads and placed their right fists on their hearts. Gu Ming felt a sense of sadness before he entered the door.
He looked at the colleagues in front of him. None of them were as bright as usual. Almost all of them were injured. The wounds had only been bandaged briefly, and blood could still be seen oozing from the bandages.
Standing at the front was Zhang Hanzhong, his right arm was wrapped in a plaster, and Xiao Hu was sitting in a wheelchair. Han Na was standing next to Xiao Hu with a sling bottle, and the acrimonious cashier Yang Yingyang. The eldest sister is also wearing a cane at this time, and her left leg is covered with bandages.
This is a memorial service to pay homage to the heroes and bid farewell to the heroes. According to Beidou tradition, after the war, the living comrades will gather together to bid farewell to the fallen heroes.
Jiang Siyi silently walked into the team and bowed his head in silence. At this moment, Gu Ming felt as if he had been hit hard by a punch. He lived in a peaceful era in his previous life and had never seen the cruelty of war, but now he saw the person lying on the bed lying on the ground. The eighteen colleagues who could never wake up on the cold stretchers made Gu Ming feel like there was something more in his heart.
He recalled a sentence he heard in his previous life: "There are no quiet years, but there are people carrying the burden for you."
Gu Ming followed Jiang Siyi and also made a gesture of silence. At this time, Wei Dafa stepped forward and said to everyone: "Today, Linjiang County has suffered the largest catastrophe in history. Our Beidou Linjiang Branch All the members went into battle to kill the enemy. It was you who used your blood and lives to wipe out the monsters and successfully protected our city and ordinary people. Each of you is a true warrior and a hero of the human race. "
"During the battle, eighteen colleagues left us forever. They are Liu Cheng, director of the Yuheng Department, Ge Hong, director of the Tianji Department, Yu Shan, leader of the second group of the Yaoguang Department..."
Wei Dafa read out the names of each victim one by one. Gu Ming listened and was shocked. Liu Cheng and Ge Hong were the few Tongxuan realm masters in the branch. They were also the top masters in Linjiang County, but they still lost their lives in this catastrophe.
After reading the names, Wei Dafa looked at Gu Ming and continued: "Some people may ask why they would sacrifice themselves to protect ordinary people?"
"I can tell those who raise questions on their behalf that it is for their responsibilities, for Beidou's mission, for the inheritance of the human race, and to prevent our next generation and the next generation from becoming blood food raised by monsters."
"Protect China! Never regret it even if you die!"
"Protect China! Never regret it even if you die!"
...
The loud slogans echoed in the conference room, escorting the heroes away.
After leaving the meeting room, Gu Ming returned to the archives room alone, locked the door, sat quietly, and recalled everything that happened after he came to the Jiuzhou world.
As a time traveler, he originally had no sense of belonging to the Jiuzhou world. His initial idea was to hide in this safe small county and quietly become stronger, and then be able to live a free and easy life in the crisis-ridden Jiuzhou world.
"Protect China! Never regret even if you die!" This slogan of Beidou kept echoing in Gu Ming's mind. Coincidentally, he was also a Chinese in his previous life. After traveling to the Jiuzhou world, he was still born in China. Perhaps this is fate.
After this memorial service, Gu Ming felt a little more identification and belonging to Beidou, the protector of China. It seems that it is not bad to regard this place as a home.
Outside the door, Wei Dafa stood against the wall for a long time. In the end, he did not disturb Gu Ming, but left with a smile.
"It seems that this kid has some insights, which is worth my efforts."
"Hey, my hair fell off again."
