Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

December 1913, 10

Constantine entered the chamber and came to the chairman.

"I heard that you have something important to ask me for?" Constantine said.

The chairman nodded and looked much better than the previous few days. It seemed that he had encountered something good. "The long speech was about to end. Ms. Z said that they would stop the speech at noon today and apply to enter the formal voting session.

If you're going to continue the debate, don't forget to send someone to the stage. "

Constantine glanced at the representatives, and she asked: "Have you seen Bernard?"

"Of course." The chairman adjusted his reading glasses and joked: "The attendance rate of Bernard's caucus is very high today. They have not expressed their position on the "Heavy Rain Reform" draft, and I thought they would not attend.

After all, the opposition does not lack these dozen votes. "

Constantine thought of something, closed his eyes and said helplessly: "But the party in favor needs it."

The chairman did not understand what Constantine meant and looked at her doubtfully. Constantine remained silent and did not want to explain too much about his remarks.

"In two hours, I will hand you a new revised draft." When she said this, Constantine felt a little weak, and she seemed to be very tired.

"I formed a temporary revision team last night and worked with hired experts to revise some clauses in the draft all night long. Please be sure to make the new draft public to everyone at that time."

The chairman was even more confused. A fact suddenly occurred to her, so she asked tentatively: "Why do we need to revise the draft? Will the draft be passed?"

Constantine did not answer. He was as silent as a standing sculpture. After a long time, she sighed and said: "There are some things that I cannot interfere with. I can only try to satisfy the interests of most people.

I have specially modified the contents of Section 3 on page 21 regarding the educational authority of non-registered occultists and Section 1 on page 40 about the responsibilities and obligations of Si Chen’s team.

All occultists included in Sichen's establishment need to undergo a risk assessment by the Foundation and be graded based on the results.

Ordinary occultists only need to participate in elementary artificial sleepwalking training, while more abnormal occultists need to be sent to disciplinary schools to study. "

The chairman was surprised and said: "Representative Mark also submitted a draft, and the revised content is very similar to what you said."

Unexpectedly, Constantine laughed in despair, and she said bitterly: "I really didn't expect that... we actually reached a consensus without ever meeting..."

Just a moment of disappointment, Constantine's eyes became a little shrewd, "I have more revisions here. Considering Sichen's team's resistance to "Heavy Rain", they will bear more and reshape Hand related work.

The Foundation needs to better utilize the capabilities of this team. There are also some detailed modifications to open up more flexibility and give them executive power, but the macro control still remains in our hands.

Remember, amendments must be publicized before voting. Make sure the last one we pass is this case. "

The chairman nodded, "Understood."

She looked at the back of the figure who was still insisting on the stage. A cyan light appeared in the lenses of her reading glasses. She took off her reading glasses and wiped them carefully with a glasses cloth. She said with emotion: "I didn't expect... In the past few decades, for the first time, A revolution for occultists..."

She suddenly laughed, "Don't forget to prepare a quarter's worth of stamps for me."

Ms. Z stood on the podium, her legs were almost numb, and her neck was a little sore, but every cell in her body was extremely excited. She had been speaking for several days for this day, and her voice became stronger and stronger. His hair became louder, his eyes filled with indomitable momentum.

Under the stage, Wei Mingye, who was wearing a mask, silently accompanied her through this long and painful time. From the first moment of sitting on pins and needles to the last time he left with her, she once asked Wei Mingye why he was sitting in the audience in a panic. For so long, Wei Mingye didn't answer. He gave her a bottle of medicine to relieve fatigue and left in a hurry.

As a woman, her intuition told her that Wei Mingye was not good at comforting girls, but the moment she received the potion, Ms. Z felt warmer, like finding a source of water in the desert and holding an umbrella over her head under the scorching sun.

Even though we have just met each other, he is still helping everyone in his own way... What a strange person.

Xing Antimony was lying on a deck chair, enjoying the sun. In the vegetable garden, the emerald green reflects the fiery red of the setting sun; the cabbage and tomatoes are ripe. Snyder and Marianne are responsible for picking the cabbage, and Mr. Carson is teaching Sophoby how to pick the tomatoes correctly.

"Without W, we really wouldn't be able to fight such a long and protracted war..." Xing Antimony tilted his head, bit the straw, and took a deep sip of the drink.

"Yes." On the side, Mistletoe agreed, "In the past few weeks, I can't forget the meals he cooked."

Xing Antimony used his arms to support his body and turned sideways to Mistletoe, "W He went out early in the morning and didn't know what he was doing. He was mysterious. Do you know what he went to do?"

Mistletoe shook his head, "I don't know. He's been very busy these days. He leaves early and comes home late. He seems to be unpacking some talismans? I kind of miss the tofu buns he makes."

As soon as she heard the word tofu nao, Xing Antimony, who had been lying down, immediately sat up straight and said viciously: "Sweet tofu nao is the real god!"

"I don't think so." Mistletoe smiled scornfully, "You will never understand the true meaning of salted tofu pudding!"

"I don't care!" Xing Antimony pouted angrily. The moment she took her first bite of sweet tofu nao, she fell in love with it. Sweet tofu nao is sacred and irreplaceable in her heart. "Sweet tofu nao is the best!"

Mistletoe thought Star Antimony's angry look was really cute, so she continued to tease the little lion with fried fur. The two girls were sitting in the courtyard, surrounded by smoke. Their eyes collided and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

The vegetable garden was silent, like the moment of tranquility before a rainstorm.

"I'm back." Wei Mingye's voice sounded like thunder and lightning. When Xingzhi saw Wei Mingye, he quickly ran forward, grabbed his sleeve, and said pitifully: "Which one is better, sweet tofu nao or salty tofu nao?"

Wei Mingye felt confused. When he saw the mistletoe, he suddenly realized it. He frowned and said seriously: "Children make choices, I want them all!"

Snyder covered his mouth to hide his laughter, as usual. After hearing this, Xing Antimony lowered his head and lay down on the recliner again as if he had lost his soul.

As usual, Mistletoe would ask when Wei Mingye came back: "How is the situation?"

Wei Mingye always tells riddles, like the sun hiding behind the clouds, too shy to come out. He said: "The situation is very optimistic."

Wei Mingye glanced at the crowd of reds in the bamboo basket and said with a smile: "The harvest is good. I'll go out first and pick up someone today."

"Who is he going to pick up?" Xing Antimony looked at Mistletoe blankly.

Mistletoe knew the answer in her heart, but if she didn't say it, it wouldn't be a surprise if she did.

-

Wei Mingye stood on the high wall of the first line of defense school. He raised one hand high, as if he could catch the clouds in the sky. The wall is so high, like a giant, it always stands here no matter the wind or rain, guarding everything behind it.

"Isn't the scenery nice?" Red Crossbow sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the itch of the breeze's nails on his cheeks.

She took a sip of wine and burped comfortably. Her voice carried with the wind and reached Wei Mingye's ears, "It would be great if you could also drink. This would give you one more drinking buddy... Let's drink at night." Wine looks at the stars in the sky...can you sing? Their singing is terrible."

Wei Mingye scratched his head, his face slightly red, his throat moved and he said shyly: "My singing is as harsh as a car's brakes."

"Okay..." Red Crossbow curled his lips and took another sip of wine.

The forest nearby is emerald green, the forest in the distance is dark green, and further away, it is dark black. There is a blue ribbon dropped by a girl in the endless forest. The ribbon extends from one end of the forest to an invisible distance. The sunlight sparsely shines on the river and makes the eyes hurt.

Wei Mingye looked away. He lowered his head and carefully looked at the lines on the scabbard. This sword was not his, nor were the three swords at home.

Time is the gurgling water. Some people stay by the river, while others follow the footsteps of the water along the river. Red Crossbow drank the last drop of nectar and stepped onto the magic broom.

Wei Mingye put his fingers together and activated the long sword with spiritual power. The long sword came to life. Under the control of spiritual power, the long sword seemed to merge with Wei Mingye and turned into a new organ in his body. It was used by him and had to be done by him.

"I'll take the first step!" The sound of the red crossbow arrows still stayed in place, but the man had already flown away, embracing the strong wind.

Wei Mingye stepped on the long sword and moved it as he pleased, so fast that it turned into a white light.

"Your speed is not bad." Red Crossbow turned around and saw that Wei Mingye had his hands behind his back and his free and easy demeanor while standing on the flying sword couldn't catch up with him.

-

Rehabilitation center, Vertin's ward.

The voting session of the bill was being played on the TV. Little Mesmer was sitting on a stool, looking straight at the picture on the TV.

On the TV, the chairman's voice sounded like a cold wind blowing from an extremely cold place, "This is the final round of formal voting, members attending the meeting hurry up."

Lying on the recliner, Xing Antimony took off her sunglasses and rubbed her eyes. She just seemed to see two shooting stars streaking across the small sky.

There is only one minute of life left under the countdown, but it does not admit defeat, and is strangling everyone's heart strings in an attempt to die together.

The host's voice was more like thunder falling suddenly in the rain, "The votes in favor exceed the votes against, but there is still a long way to go before reaching two-thirds of the support rate."

"What...!" Little Mesmer's heart seemed to have been shattered by a bullet. She tensed up, her pupils shrank, and her left hand unconsciously clenched the sleeve of her right hand.

The chairman's voice jumped into my ears, like the final bell, "There are still thirty seconds left. Members who have not voted yet, please hurry up and vote."

drip-

The instruments in the ward were playing symphony, everything was normal, Vertin was sleeping deeply, and even the prince in the fairy tale could not wake her up.

"10"

"9"

Time still refuses to yield. At the last moment, it crushes the human heart. When time stops, the heart stagnates. Then, it pumps blood more cheerfully, flowing into every corner of the body, and every cell celebrates.

That voice, like blooming sparks, filled the night sky: "The "Heavy Rain Reform: Increase in Staff and Order" bill is passed!"

Bang-!

The dazzling sunlight shredded the glass windows, and the heroic laughter of Red Crossbow came from the wind: "One of the lifelong achievements, achieved! I didn't expect the glass here to be so brittle!"

The soles of the shoes crushed the last dignity of the glass. Wei Mingye came to the instrument, unplugged the plug, and also unplugged the shackles that bound Vertin.

He called in a low voice: "Vilting, wake up."

"What's going on over there?" The guards standing outside the ward heard the noise and walked to Vertin's ward. The dazzling sunlight was challenging their bottom line as guards.

The staff standing outside the ward rushed in. Wei Mingye stepped forward and released his spiritual power like a wave of spiritual power. The staff who had just stepped into the ward were immediately blown away by the wave and ran behind them. A series of domino effects followed on the staff. In one encounter, Wei Mingye knocked down ten staff members.

"Oh, it seems there is no need for me to take action." Red Crossbow simply stood next to Vertin and called to Vertin to wake up.

"Uh..." A guard struggled to push away the unconscious colleague who was lying on top of him. He held a walkie-talkie in his hand and shouted hurriedly: "Rescue! Emergency call for rescue in room 1525!"

Wei Mingye raised his hand, and a shard of glass flew out from the ground with his control, shattering the walkie-talkie. Little Mesmer huddled in the corner, shaking like chaff.

A series of footsteps were coming from the end of the corridor, and it was at this time that Vertin woke up.

"Well..." Vertin saw a few twinkling five-pointed stars and smelled a faint smell of alcohol. She sat up from the bed. The sun was dazzling, but her body blocked most of the sunlight for Vertin.

"Red... red crossbow arrows?"

Vertin's voice was as sticky as melted toffee, and Red Crossbow gently rubbed her face to wake her up.

"Let's go, get out of this place." Red Crossbow pulled Vertin to the broom, "Sit on my broom, sit behind me, hold on tight, you will die if you fall in mid-air!"

"Hmm..." Before Vertin could react, like a machine that had not yet been started, she held the armrests on the side of the broom, and the cold touch flowed into her body from her fingertips.

"W! Let's go first!" Red Crossbow shouted.

"W?" The feeling of weightlessness carried her body flying into the sky. She looked back and saw a black shadow flashing in the broken window, like a cluster of flickering candles.

"Everyone, see you soon!"

Wei Mingye said a word, and the flying sword beside him flew into the blue sky. The spiritual force field that suppressed dozens of people disappeared.

Warmth enveloped Vertin, and she soon woke up. The sun was no longer dazzling, and the white ocean was within reach beside her.

"How are you? Are you awake?" Red Crossbow asked.

"Well... the wind... is very comfortable." Vertin said.

"Haha, there are more comfortable ones, but since you have just been discharged from the hospital, I will drive slower."

The white ocean was left behind, and a group of buildings appeared in the field of vision, just like a circuit board. Each building was a precision component in the circuit board, and was set up in a planned place.

"Are they okay?" Wilding said.

Wei Mingye finally caught up, and Wei Ting looked at him in shock.

"We are very good!" Wei Mingye smiled, "From revising the draft to protesting... we spent many sleepless nights, and you were the only one who slept very comfortably."

Vertin smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you."

“Those who hold wages for others should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow. Those who pave the way for freedom should not let them become trapped in thorns.

Vertin, everything will be over. "

A bunch of white feathers flew into Vertin's hand, which was a medal symbolizing freedom. The white dove swam with the floating clouds. Vertin let go of his hand and let the feather float freely in the world.

"Yeah, everything will pass."

-

"I am back."

After waiting for countless days and nights, the familiar voice shines into everyone's hearts like the sunshine through the haze in the morning.

"Vertin!" Xing Antimony almost jumped up from the recliner. She ignored her crooked sunglasses and simply threw them aside and flew into Vertin's arms like a bird.

"Vilting!"

"Master Vertin!"

Familiar figures approached her one after another. Vertin opened his mouth, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat, making him unable to make a sound.

The sunlight passed through the dense tree canopy, and the sunlight filtered through the layers faded into mist and clung to Vertin's body. Her white clothes and silver hair were dyed with a layer of brilliance by the sunlight, making her more like a thin white flower.

"Vilting, you look a lot thinner." Mistletoe asked with concern, "What did they do to you?"

Vertin smiled and stroked Xing Antimony's soft hair. She shook her head, "I'm fine. They didn't do anything to me. Thank you for waiting for me."

"Isn't this nonsense... Of course we have to wait for you to come back..." Xing Antimony hugged Vertin tightly, fearing that this was a dream and everything would disappear in the white sunshine when he woke up, "You are We remain... best friends in this world."

It's all worth the wait.

Wei Mingye finally caught up with them. He was so tired that he jumped off his sword and lay on the grass, gasping for air. "You... are flying too fast... I can't even catch up..."

Red Crossbow smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth rose, "That's because you're too good! Practice more and you'll be able to catch up with me in the future."

There was laughter and laughter in the forest. Sophia took one of Vertin's hands and said firmly, "You must try the food cooked by W. It's delicious!"

"I will." Vertin responded. She looked at Wei Mingye. This young man gave her many surprises, just like the ripples caused by a pebble dropped into water.

There was dull, uniform footsteps from the other end of the forest. The leader was Constantine, followed by Ms. Z and Sonnet. Ms. Z’s eyes were bloodshot, but she was full of energy.

When Sonnet saw them enjoying themselves, she felt relieved. She whispered lightly: "This is fine... This is fine..."

Wei Mingye stood up, looking past Constantine and looking at the 100 employees in work clothes behind her, and she tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

"Welcome back, Vertin." Constantine's smile reminded Wei Mingye that the cover of the instant noodles package was completely different from the real thing inside, and it was very fake.

"I'm here to tell you good news." Her eyes fell on the door, and then she glanced at Wei Mingye casually, "The "Heavy Rain Reform: Order and Increase in Staff" bill was passed in the foundation.

Once the Human Peace and Security Council has reviewed it, it will become a formal law.

By then you and your friends will have more independence and a freer lifestyle. And you will get more respect in the Foundation. "

Wei Mingye and Hong Nuxian said at the same time: "What about treatment?"

Constantine said in surprise: "Isn't the treatment just over? The result of this review is that the treatment is low risk and judged to be safe. As Ms. Z said, Miss Vertin has a perseverance and is strong enough to take on the role of Si Chen.

However, we will impose certain penalties as a warning to those who illegally damage property in public places. "

Red Crossbow rolled his eyes, and Wei Mingye almost cursed Constantine, an old guy.

"We are leaving, please have a good rest." When Constantine turned around, he accidentally saw a white dove squatting on Wei Mingye's shoulder, and stopped.

Wei Mingye didn't know what was going on with this white pigeon. It flew to his shoulder and started to rest. No matter how much he touched it, there was no response. Why don't he take it back and stew it...

"It seems you encountered pigeons from the White Stone House."

Wilding said: "What does this mean?"

"This means that they are starting to notice you." Constantine said.
