Advent

After 10 working days, Alan sat in his room and looked in front of him. There were not many things. This is all his luggage. The whole room has been cleaned up very clean, making sure that there are no suspicious items left, although I don't want that to happen, but the mission of the Security Bureau is very likely to fail, and if that happens, the White Church is likely to invade the headquarters of the Security Bureau and search it..., Allen must ensure that I didn't leave any handle

It's just that I was still in a trance when I saw all the things on my body...

She was about to return to Earth, and this cognition made him feel a little strange.Although it was not long ago that he left the Earth, after everything that happened in the Tianmao human military base, and the things he knew in the lunar headquarters of the Ministry of Security, he felt as if he had gone back to the Earth, stretching There was a faint panic...

Someone is knocking on the door.

Allen froze for a moment, then waved and opened the door.

He originally thought that the person who came should be Raphael, or Anderson (he didn't think about a certain Naga emperor at all, after all, when that guy appeared, he always went through various unimaginable and abnormal channels)

But what Allen didn't expect was that it was an old man standing at the door now.

"Professor Defoe?"

Allen's eyes widened in surprise.

Professor Defoe still looked old, and the smallest uniform of the medical officer was a bit empty on him.

"I have to give you the last physical examination before leaving the moon." Noticing Alan's suspicious eyes, Professor Defoe smiled at him, "... After all, your physical condition is too special, just to be on the safe side For the sake of it, we have to be careful."

It was only then that Allen noticed that Professor Defoe was still carrying a silver-white medical kit in his hand.

"I, I have actually checked it several times before. The results of the previous few times showed that the problem is not serious."

In fact, Allen was somewhat resistant to this special inspection in his heart.As he himself said, since the confirmation of the plan, which can even be said to be sloppy, Anderson has arranged many inspections specifically for Allen to ensure that the plan is foolproof.

But on the surface, there was nothing strange on Allen's face, and he quickly let Professor Defoe into the room.

"Yes, I have seen the records submitted by those people, but I still want to double-check at the last moment."

Defoe put the medical box on the table, and then took out the special container encapsulating the silver light from it.

Almost at the moment when he took out the container, the silver light spot inside the thing suddenly burst into light, like a bright silver flame.

And the "flame" was still desperately licking the inside of the container, and the direction of the "tongue of fire" was facing Allen.

Allen frowned slightly, and took a step back unconsciously.

"The gravitational pull between you and it is increasing."

Professor Defoe carefully recorded the scene in front of him through a special device.

"Well, those medical officers told me that before."

Allen said that although the forced smile still remained on his face, anyone could see how forced his smile was at this moment.

On the surface, everything is not bad, after all, Allen's condition can actually be considered stable - but the reason why he is still alive today is entirely due to the power of the Silver Star, this special and mysterious power is Little by little, it affects Alan's originally human body.That is to say, he is gradually transforming into a special creature that is very different from human beings.

For this reason, Allen's influence on the body of the Silver Star is strengthening every day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Allen suspects that this may be why Anderson actually agreed to the plan. After all, if no action is taken, as Allen's alienation intensifies, Maria will sooner or later notice everything that Mason painstakingly concealed back then.

Of course, looking at it from another perspective, this might be a good thing. The stronger the resonance between him and his own body, the original star, the easier it would be for him to unshackle and release the silver star.

"I'm worried, kid. I've heard about your plan...it's a mess."

Professor Defoe took out two patches and motioned Allen to stretch out his hand. He stuck the patch on Allen's wrist, and the hose extending from the bottom of the patch was stretched to the base of the strange cube. .

The wrinkles on Professor Diff's face were squeezed together, and Allen thought it was a look of deep concern.

While speaking, Professor Defoe recorded all of Alan's physical data, and all the examinations were carried out step by step, and everything seemed to be normal.

It's just that when the inspection was coming to an end, Professor Diff suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Although you probably don't remember it anymore, I was the one who was asked by Mason to falsify all the data under Maria's supervision so that you would not attract her attention..."

"professor?"

Alan's eyes widened in surprise, and the old man smiled at him.

"Thanks--"

"Although you may not know my existence, I watched you grow up...and in this world, I may be the only one who knows what Mason did to let you escape from Maria's control. What. But right now, that plan of yours is all about..."

Professor Defoe's voice gradually became dry.

He approached Allen, and at this distance, Allen could clearly see the disapproval and sadness in Professor Defoe's eyes.

"Alan, you are wasting everything Mason did for you."

The seemingly very kind old man spoke quite harsh words.

Allen's body trembled slightly, and he vaguely felt that maybe Professor Defoe had noticed that.

Sure enough, the next second he heard Professor Defoe whispering almost like a whisper.

"I warned you so seriously, but you still haven't noticed? Alan Blythewell, the human standing in front of me, exists because you believe that you are Alan. You Your soul, your life, everything about you depends on your self-knowledge, however, the Silver Star has existed in this world for a long time, its power is simply unmatched by human beings... want to break The star box relies on the natural gravitational force between you and it, you will be brought together, but once you merge with the body of the silver star, you are like a drop of water falling into the ocean..."

Professor Defoe stretched out his hand tremblingly, covering the back of Allen's hand.

"You will cease to exist, Alan." He said, "Your soul will be completely melted, your body will also be completely disintegrated, and you will become an insignificant speck of... dust on that ancient god."

Allen's eyelashes trembled.

"I don't know what the others think, but it seems to me that once that plan of yours succeeds, you'll—"

"I will die."

Allen took over Professor Defoe's speech.

Professor Defoe seemed to have pressed the pause button. He raised his head and looked at Allen.

Allen's face was calm, and his eyes were like a clear lake.

"Thank you, Professor, for everything you've done for me."

Allen said.

At this time, he was suddenly a little lucky. After all, when Professor Defoe talked about this matter, a certain Naga emperor happened not to be by his side.

Otherwise, Allen would have to work hard to appease his partner.

But now, he only needs to tell the old man in front of him directly what he thinks.

"You have been hinting at me for a long time, and Mr. Mason has hinted very clearly in his message... He must be very embarrassed. Otherwise, he would not be so painful, he would not tell me over and over again, let me Make that choice yourself."

Allen could of course continue to choose to be human...

However, he will clearly perceive that at the other end of the world, the tragedy suffered by his own body, Silver Star, will continue forever.

The ancient and noble gods endured their broken souls in vain, irresistibly becoming ugly weapons in the hands of others.

Or, Allen can choose to release the Silver Star, let the innocent life return to its original position, end the tragic fate of endless reincarnation between the Silver Star and the fragments of the ancient god's corpse, and end the pain of the Silver Star.

At the same time, Allen can also save the fate of the entire human race.

【"...But you are the projection of Silver Star, you have the right to make your own choices."】

It seemed that Mason's last words in the shadow ball sounded in Alan's ears again.

Mason must have felt very painful back then, so he gave up this choice to himself.

The future of my beloved child and all mankind is placed on the balance of fate at the same time.

Thinking about it this way, it is true that only the person involved can make a choice.

Allen even felt that Anderson should also be aware of this. Except for inspections, Anderson rarely appeared in front of him these days—or it was because he himself was a little afraid to face Ai who was about to sacrifice himself to save everything. Nor can Len.

The only person who is unaware of the choice Alan is about to make is probably the White Emperor.After all, the Naga who can directly divide themselves and reintegrate, it is really difficult to understand what the fusion and reorganization of the soul mean.

"Alright alright……"

Seeing Alan's current appearance, Professor Defoe's face wrinkled all of a sudden, and the old feeling became more and more obvious in him.He has obviously realized that it is impossible for Allen to change his mind because of his persuasion.

"Actually, Mason never thought of asking you to sacrifice yourself for others." He whispered sadly, as if the face full of expectation with that tired but upright man many years ago appeared in front of his eyes again.

"His greatest wish has always been to let you grow up happily, grow old, and have your own life."

The professor muttered to himself.

"I know." Allen replied softly.

"But if the entire human race ceases to exist, how can I live happily ever after? What's more..."

What's more, the current Allen is different from the lonely and desperate person who didn't care about life at all.

The face of Emperor Bai appeared in Alan's mind, and his heart warmed slightly.

The lifespan of the Naga is much longer than that of human beings, even if Alan can really ignore everything, regardless of the safety of human beings, and escape from the solar system with the White Emperor to escape the White God Order and live his own life in this universe , does not mean that they can escape the ultimate fate.

As a human being, he will eventually grow old. Similarly, Alan will die, and after his death, the White Emperor will spend a painful time before he can leave this world.

Immediately afterwards, the tragedy between the Silver Star and the Fragment of the Ancient God will be staged again.

Allen couldn't help trembling when he thought of such a future.

"...I will end this."

Allen looked at Professor Defoe and said slowly and calmly.

……

ten days later—

native earth

Core area of ​​the capital circle

Suburb

The Saint Rum National Stadium is an A-level three-dimensional clubhouse. It has an anti-gravity magnetic platform with 735 honeycombs, which is enough to accommodate 10,000+ people at the same time. Alpha-level projection equipment can instantly transform this somewhat boring silver-gray The hexagonal building transforms into a living otherworldly fantasy.

There are [-] ultra-high-power information transmission stations in the entire solar system, which can transmit what happened in the field to any corner of the entire solar system at the same time-this is not easy, after all, the data of holographic projection The volume is quite terrifying. If there is no such high-power information transmission workbench but a public network is used, even the simplest match can easily completely block the entire interstellar communication network.

So at present, only the events held in the St. Rum Stadium can be broadcast in real time in the entire solar system.

Of course, maintaining such a behemoth would naturally require a lot of manpower and financial resources.However, considering the location of the St. Rum Stadium: the core area of ​​the capital circle of the native earth, the money and manpower it consumes seems to be taken for granted.

After all, the people who can live here are all dignitaries, and of course they don't hesitate to spend manpower and material resources, just to nourish their spare time activities...

Some of the most important games in league history have been held in St. Rum Stadium.

Of course, its role is not limited to the gymnasium. If someone can apply and pay for the use, the entire gymnasium can be transformed into a professional-level performance venue within a few days.

However, this fee can naturally be described as "amazing", and the approval procedures are extremely complicated. Only the top singers can hold their own concerts here.

In fact, only one person in history has ever had this qualification, and that is the legendary singer who disappeared more than 10 years ago.

"Kraken," Alan Blythewell.

And now, after many years, Saint Rum is about to welcome back his most important guest.

Allen's comeback concert site is here.

When Rafael and Sakhir arrived, the entire airspace near the stadium was completely occupied by reporters and fans who heard the news.

Any disturbances around the entire stadium were captured by their information recorders and sent to the public information network.

In addition to real people, there should be a large number of citizens in the alien colony who "appeared" electronically through the Internet, and now they are waiting here with their virtual eyes wide open.

Even though Allen's concert will not start for at least ten hours, but looking out from the side window of the hover car, Rafael only feels as if he has accidentally fallen into an ant's nest.

People, people everywhere.

Real people, virtual people.

Earthlings, aliens.

It's as if people from the entire universe have gathered here.

Even when Rafael and Sakhir, two pure government workers (at least the identities prepared for them by the Security Bureau), entered the gymnasium, the suspension car was almost caught by the information recorder too much. Dense, almost fell from mid-air due to network failure.

"Are these people crazy? From where can we see that our car and the two of us have nothing to do with Allen? What are they filming?"

Rafael wiped the cold sweat on his forehead from the fright, then leaned against the car window and continued to look outside.

The locust-like onlookers made him shiver involuntarily.

Although he knew for a long time that Allen was once a singer who shook the entire galaxy, Rafael did not expect that the news of Allen's concert would cause such a big disturbance.

"They are not crazy. In the face of such a major event, any piece of information can get a lot of attention, and attention often represents fame and money."

Sakhir said with a blank face.

Under his driving, the suspension vehicle marked as a government work vehicle successfully passed through the extremely complicated security checks, and parked in the parking space of the St. Rum Stadium.

Sakhir jumped out of the car with his briefcase in his hands.

However, instead of leaving directly, he stood in front of the car and re-adjusted the value of the hover car, and then checked the appearance of the hover car again.

He had to make sure that when he broke through the blockade of the group of people just now, no one took advantage of the chaos to leave any bugs or other peeping devices on the outer shell of the suspension vehicle.

"Please, there should be no problem. Our car was almost stripped of the anti-rust paint layer by those safety inspections just now. How could it be—"

Rafael just wanted to complain about Sakhir's paranoia, but before he could finish speaking, he saw that Sakhir's caution was rewarded - within a few minutes, he had found nearly two of them from all kinds of unimaginable places. Ten peeping devices.

He removed the little things and put them in a tinfoil isolation bag.

Then he turned around and looked at Rafael with a full beat: "Sorry, what did you say just now?"

Rafael pursed his lips stiffly.

But his silence didn't last long in the end.

after all……

Those heavy devices still caused him great psychological trauma.

"God, don't those people know that using these illegal tools to spy on government workers may send themselves to jail?"

"I think they are very clear, but they have no way to resist this temptation..."

Sakhir's voice paused: "After all, that's Allen."

Rafael was speechless for a while.

Yeah, after all, that's Ellen.

However, after thinking about the current situation, Rafael still felt as if he was dreaming.

It never occurred to him that this would be the first thing in Allen's plan to fight against the ultimate enemy of mankind and to thwart the conspiracy of that mysterious sect.

"Kraken" is back.

And after dropping this news, only a few days later he gave another big news: Allen is about to hold a concert at the St. Rum Stadium.

Whether it is for ordinary people or for his fans, it is like a bomb, blowing everyone's peaceful life to pieces.

Everyone fell into madness in an instant.

In just a few days, the spaceship channels and transition channels of other alien colonies rushing to the earth are full.

The whole earth seems to be caught in a high fever, and this high fever virus is called Alan Blythewell...

"I originally thought that when we came back, what we needed to do was to act like secret agents, hide our names, disguise ourselves, and then pretend to be some kind of cleaner, sneak into the base of the White God Religion without anyone noticing, and then Then use our weapons to secretly destroy that special weapon that Mary has in hand..."

Rafael murmured.

"This kind of operation is too difficult. The White God Religion is not an ordinary church, but a secret society with high-level alien technology, weapons and equipment, and their interior is extremely closed, and there is no possibility of sneaking in at all. In comparison, although Allen's plan seems a bit strange, after analysis, I think it is still feasible."

Sakhir didn't notice, he directly interrupted Rafael's words.

He didn't even realize that Rafael was just joking just now.

Instead, the man seriously analyzed the current situation for Rafael (of course judging from Rafael's current expression. He may not particularly want to hear the so-called tactical analysis).

"The White God Order has always paid great attention to concealment. According to the security bureau's cracks in it over the years, what the Order fears most is being exposed to people. This is why Allen must return to Earth in this way. .If he chooses to sneak back to the earth in secret, then once Maria notices his existence, she can easily send someone to assassinate or kidnap Allen on the way, and then everything is over...But if Allen announces that he is about to come back , His every move will be exposed to everyone's eyes. This curbs the activities of the White God Sect to the greatest extent."

Speaking of this, Sakhir couldn't help turning his head, as if he could see the crazy crowd outside the stadium.

Those people are very troublesome, but in a sense, they are Alan's protection.

"...The most important point is that he is the only singer who can use the St. Rum Stadium for a concert. The information transmission workstations in the St. Rum Stadium can completely transmit his singing voice to all star fields near the earth. …The part of the White Emperor's body that Maria sealed inside the imitation will definitely hear these sounds clearly. There is a very high probability that the White Emperor will break free under the stimulation of the sound."

There are some details that Sakhir did not say:

The Naga bodies that are now sealed in Maria's hands are crazy things without any reason.

Once they escaped from the bondage, it was conceivable that they would come straight towards Allen.

Considering that the immigration plan has not yet been fully implemented, neither the White God Order nor Assis can completely abandon the people in the capital circle for the time being... In order to control the situation, Maria will definitely use the power of the Silver Star.

Just like the measures she took when she found out that things were getting out of hand on the Black Swan.

And that was the best time for Allen to do it.
