I like to sit here and watch the sunrise and sunset. I don't want the whole world. I just want one square meter of this balcony. This castle wasn't built for me. It turned out to be an inheritance inherited by the great-grandson of a noble's great-grandson. In his generation, he couldn't afford the maintenance fees, so he donated it to the country. At the age of 60, I was worried that I wouldn't have a place to see the sea every day, so I applied to move here. Fortunately, the parliament approved it. They have to take care of me. No, you're wrong. No one has the right to have anything, because your life and everything in your life is given to you by the world. We were born with nothing. You can say what you have worked hard for and what you deserve, but in the end, you can't take anything away. The only things you can take away are your memories and feelings. If you don't share them with people like I do, no one will ever know whether you're happy or unhappy about living your life. This was a little sad. Actually, it was not a big deal. There was nothing that he had to say.
It was a beautiful seaside fishing village isolated from the rest of the world. Huge rows of coconut trees swayed in the sea breeze, and the sea surface sparkled with dreamy ripples under the afternoon sun. Faint clouds that were as long as islands floated in the sky, and the blue sky covered the distant land and all the scenery like an inverted crystal bowl.
The three boys were role-playing on the beach. The skinny boy stood on the reef with a crown on his head. He raised his arm and said to the sea," From now on, I am the king. I command you to yield. The judge will still be the judge, and the little fatty will be the slave. Slave, lick my toes and bring me all the toys and snacks.
The giggling little fatty and the tall, serious-looking judge stood beside him with their heads bowed.
Little Fatty knelt at the feet of the monkey and said," Respected King, this is my wooden pistol and dried fish. I'll give them to you. Let me lick your toes."
Alright.?Monkey stretched out his leg for him.
Chubby Boy secretly pinched Monkey's toe with a crab claw. Monkey jumped up and jumped in circles on one leg, shaking off the crab. He bared his teeth and shouted," In the name of God, I sentence you to death!
The tall man knocked the stone with a wooden hammer and said," Your Majesty, the crime of a slave is too light and cannot be sentenced to death.
Monkey said angrily,"He murdered the king, so he should be sentenced to death!"
The little fatty pretended to cry,"Please, King, I still have my wife and children. Please don't kill me."
Judge: A crab is not enough to kill you, my lord. Why don't you sentence him to five years of hard labor?
Monkey's expression was ferocious and angry as he cursed," No, I'm the king. You have to listen to me! Throw him into the sea and feed him to the sharks!
Chubby Boy smiled and said," Can you change the way I die? I don't want to die in a fish's stomach."
Judge: According to the law, Chubby Boy should be sentenced to hard labor, so he should be punished by digging sand.
Monkey,"If you don't listen to me, you'll feed the sharks with him!"
Chubby Boy smiled and said," This is great. I won't be lonely in the fish's stomach."
Judge: Our power is given by the people. If you go against the will of the people, you will be punished.
Monkey: Are you rebelling?
On behalf of the people, I declare that your power is invalid and you are dismissed. The judge raised his wooden hammer and hit the stone.
Little Fatty clapped his hands happily and shouted,"Good, good, I'm released. The king is deposed!" Oh! Oh!
Monkey was exasperated and shouted at the boy standing in the sea," Leo, what are you doing? I'm not playing anymore. They're bullying me!
He called out a few times, but Leo ignored him. Monkey dropped the flower crown and started wrestling with them.
Leo stood in the sea and asked with a bronze mirror in his hand," Why are you in the bronze mirror? Who are you?
I said, It's a long story.
Mirror Demon: Hello, your name is Leo, right? I'm Mirror Demon, and she's Yena.
Leo: How do you know my name?
"He knows everything. He's an angel.”I told Leo where we came from and asked him if he knew about the disaster that had befallen the world. He said that there was no television on the island, and the people on the other side of the sea said that the United States had been attacked by terrorists. I told him that was last month, and now the entire Earth has been occupied by the God of War. He couldn't believe that the Mirror Demon had shown him a destructive scene.
Look, a mirage! Little Fatty shouted.
The boys watched in shock. The adults in the distance stopped working and ran over to watch. Women were crying, men were screaming, and children were hugging each other. After the illusion ended, the adults were in despair and went back to work.
Leo showed the children the bronze mirror and said that it was not a mirage but a real disaster. The three of them were very surprised and felt that it was strange. Little Fatty thought that the bronze mirror was a game console and only accepted us after a long time. All of a sudden, they lowered their heads, feeling extremely dejected. There was no longer any hope of survival. Even though the sea was still blue and the sea breeze was gentle.
" Mirror Demon can't stand it anymore. Sometimes he's impulsive. I can't do anything to him. After all, he's not human. I can't expect him to be as calm as a human and understand sadness and even despair. He said that they should build an army to resist! Didn't you see it just now? This was a battle between humans and evil. Everyone had the responsibility to resist, whether they were adults or children. Everyone was born equal and had an unshakeable right to pursue life, freedom, and happiness. You have to fight for these rights!
Monkey: War is the adults 'business.
Little Fatty replied,"That's right. If they can't do anything, what can we do?"
Judge: I think the Mirror Devil has a point.
We don't have anything and don't know anything. How can we fight? Leo raised his thin arm.
I have a wooden pistol. Pa! Pa! Chubby Boy fired a few shots at the sea.
I had no choice but to cheer for my friend, even though I had no confidence in my heart. We have to do something.
Judge: Steal some equipment and weapons from the barracks on the other side of the sea to form an army!
[Monkey: If there are weapons, I'm willing to join!]
Chubby Boy looked at Leo and said nothing.
Leo: What can we do with just the few of us?
Leo was the kind of child who had a lot of concerns. He thought more than he did. Mirror Demon couldn't agree with his pessimistic view and said," A warrior could also save the world. Moreover, powerful organizations in history often originated from a few people. There was an old saying in China that a single spark could start a prairie fire.
An old man appeared in the air and said,"There is no road in the world. When more people walk, it becomes a road."
The children looked at the solemn Lu Xun with eyes full of admiration, just like all the people of China. However, no one could understand him, and no one dared to imitate him. The judge said,"What he meant was that the road is made by people, and victory should be fought for."
Another person they did not know appeared in the air and said, If we don't start, we won't know the outcome.
Mirror Demon: This is Howard King, an American.
Leo squatted down and looked at the sea for a long time before saying like an adult," I understand now. The disaster of the world is because of this bronze mirror, and I have obtained it. We are destined to shoulder the mission to take action and take the world back from the hands of the God of War. Although we don't know the outcome, we have no other choice. In short, we can't wait for death.
Everyone became agitated.
Judge: For the country and for yourself. The Boy Scouts were now established! Who would join?
Destroy the God of War and save Earth! Everyone was very excited. They faced the sea and shouted together. Their shouts echoed on the sea for a long time. The fire of ideals had been ignited, and life was thus enriched and had a clear meaning. Many years later, when I told the people around me about this past, no one believed that it was true. Perhaps it was too simple, and there was no mystery to satisfy people's curiosity. A great army was formed from the childish dreams of a few children in the fishing village. Only those who had experienced history knew that major events were often accomplished by insignificant people, just like what Fuxi said to Zhuo Ma later.
Monkey gathered the adults who were in a state of hesitation and despair and had no intention of doing anything. Don't be busy, I have something to announce! Today, we formed the Boy Scouts. Our slogan is to destroy the God of War and save the Earth! I hope everyone can provide military supplies.
The adults smiled bitterly and dispersed. They understood the children's thoughts. At this age, they had also ignited all kinds of romantic ideals, but time had worn away all their ideals. The world could not change this concept, which was deeply rooted. In addition, the children clearly did not understand the current situation.
Monkey hurriedly shouted,"Don't go, I'm not done yet!"
Monkey's mother carried him down and said with tears in her eyes," You guys are good, but we can't do anything. This is our fate. Alright, stop fooling around. Go home. From today onwards, Mom will make whatever you want to eat.
Monkey broke free and said,"That's not our fate. We have to fight!"
Judge: " We can't wait to die. Even if we die, we must die in battle!"
I also joined the Boy Scouts. Little Fatty said happily. His father grabbed his ear and carried him home.
Leo looked at the land across the sea and said," It seems that we have to rely on ourselves.
……
At night, when the adults were asleep, the children quietly ran out of their homes and boarded the Monkey family's fishing boat. The fishing boat slowly sailed away. The engine was not loud, but it still disturbed the silence of the night. The adults turned on the lights and realized that the child was missing. They ran to the shore to chase after him, but the fishing boat had already gone far away.
A thick cloud suddenly flew over from the night sky. No, it was a large group of golden eagles. The adults were instantly thrown down. The children heard the screams and looked back, only to see that the island had turned into a sea of fire. The golden eagle grabbed the adults and flew away. The children's shouts were stopped by Leo and the judge. They could only suppress their pain and watch their loved ones suffer. I looked at their tragedy and thought that my parents would definitely not be spared. Tears also surged out with them.
After landing, Leo pushed the boat into the sea and sighed." We can never go back!
……
It used to be a neighborhood full of hope, but now it was dilapidated. Zombies walked everywhere, and many unfinished buildings and collapsed ancient buildings were emitting black smoke. The fire in the military camp building had not been extinguished. The gate was open, and a few motorcycles and jeeps were parked at the side. The doors were all open, and they split up to search the rooms.
They found some supplies, such as shovels, quilts, canned meat, compressed biscuits, smoke bombs, light sticks, flashlights, some first-aid medicine, pots, pans, and other daily necessities. The military uniform and shoes were too big to wear, so they did not find any weapons. There was a pile of flames in the courtyard. All the weapons had been destroyed.
There was a sobbing sound nearby. Leo followed the sound and found a boy wearing glasses in the toilet. He was curled up in a corner in fear. The boy said that his name was Glasses. Leo helped him up. He did not expect a few children to stand out from the corner. They had not eaten for a long time. Leo opened a few military cans and watched them gobble down the food.
Monkey: Listen to me while you eat. We are Boy Scouts. Our slogan is: Destroy the God of War and save Earth! Leo is the commander, Mirror Demon is the military advisor, Judge is the overseer, and I am the logistics commander.
Chubby Boy: What about me?
The monkey said,"Messenger."
Little Fatty was very happy.
Judge: All actions must follow orders. Swear now!
The children wiped their mouths and pressed their hands against their hearts in confusion. They swore to the moon and followed the judge. Everyone was born equal and had the right to pursue life, freedom, and happiness. We must fight against evil for these rights. Even if we have to sacrifice ourselves, even if we have to fight until the last person, we will never give up!
Monkey: Everyone stand properly and count off. One!
The children shouted, Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!
Monkey: Counting over. There are a total of nine people!
Judge: " We are now emphasizing temporary discipline. No talking, no crying, no screaming, no running around." If you pick up something, you must hand it over to the public. You are not allowed to take anything from the ruins. The supplies given to each person must not be lost or discarded. The first task was to modify the military uniforms and flags after dawn and reorganize the armaments. He went into the house to sleep.
Their childish tone made me and the Mirror Demon laugh for a long time. If you saw their portraits hanging in the solemn memorial hall, you would never think that they were like poor actors who acted in children's dramas for the first time.
At night, everyone was tired, sad, and frightened. They slept soundly.
I was playing checkers with the Mirror Demon. I said,"You're going the wrong way. You should jump one by one."
"It's almost the same."
"You're cheating! I have to be careful of you cheating in the future. I was wondering why I always lose when I play chess with you.”
"Gonggong and I have been playing for hundreds of years. I haven't used my full strength yet!"
"How dare you brag! Don't go back on your word."
"I was just mistaken. I'll definitely win this round, believe it or not?"
A small black shadow sneaked to Leo's side and took the bronze mirror. He opened it in the corner of the courtyard and touched it gently with his small hand. He was reluctant to touch it and muttered to himself, How magical.
The bronze mirror suddenly lit up and my face appeared. I asked him, Still not resting, little fatty?
The shadow was startled. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Chubby Boy said he wanted to see where he'd lost his Conch. I'll ask the Mirror Demon to release him. Thus, the Conch appeared in front of him and hung around his neck. A huge wave hit him and he was swept away by the wave. The Conch floated into the sea. A wave of water from the ship washed away the Conch.
The Conch drifted to a coral reef island and was stuck in a gap between the reefs. A fisherman on the island was picking oyster.
When the little girl saw the Conch, she happily picked it up and tried to blow on it. There was water in the Conch, so she couldn't make any sound. She shook the water clean and blew hard. The Sea Conch let out a distant horn and was blown to the fishing boat in the distance by the sea breeze. The fishermen waved at her when they heard the bugle call. The little girl also waved at them.
She continued to blow, attracting a group of seabirds to her side. The little girl dug out the oyster with a Screwdriver to feed the seabirds. The seabirds ate with relish and were reluctant to leave.
Little Fatty sighed as he held his chin,"So she picked it up."
He said that she was his cousin and often went to his house. Her father said that girls didn't play with toys and wouldn't make toys for her, so she snatched his toys to play with. She liked the Sea Conch the most. He had never let her touch it. She had even been spanked by her father when she tried to snatch it from him. Now, the Conch was hers. I said that the things floating in the sea belong to whoever picks them up. I was obviously biased towards my cousin because she was also a girl. Regardless of whether I knew her or not, a girl would always side with a girl, especially when her father's point of view was so annoying, and Little Fatty clearly supported his point of view.
[Mirror Demon: Aside from me, Leo picked me up, but I'm still of the gods.]
Chubby Boy: But the judge said that if you pick up something, you have to hand it over to the public.
I said,"She's not a scout. She doesn't have to obey."
Chubby Boy: Boy Scouts are so troublesome.
I said,"When you join an organization, you won't have that much freedom. You'll also have a lot of other things, such as collective honor, group life, and so on."
Little Fatty yawned and said,"Ah, I'm sleepy. See you tomorrow."
Monkey came out to pee. When he heard us talking, he shouted, Who was it? What are you doing, Little Fatty?
Little Fatty ignored him. Monkey reached out and touched the bronze mirror on his body. He said," Let me see. I haven't seen enough either.
The judge was woken up. When he came out and saw them entangled, he shouted, Why aren't you resting at this time! What are you holding?
Monkey stood to the side obediently and pointed at Little Fatty." I noticed that he was sneaking around, so I followed him out. When they discovered that he had taken the bronze mirror, they asked him to hand it over, but he refused.
Chubby Boy,"It's not like that. He's a bully!"
Everyone was woken up and gathered around. Leo: What happened?
Little Fatty hid behind him.
Monkey: He took the bronze mirror and didn't want to hand it over.
Leo: Alright, let's go back to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow.
Judge: No, you have to figure it out. We're scouts now, not boys playing with sand. We have discipline.
Leo: Alright then, Chubby Boy, what's going on? Please speak slowly.
Monkey quickly changed his tone and said,"It's not a big deal." I promise on Little Fatty's behalf that this won't happen again.
The judge made Little Fatty promise, and Little Fatty nodded.
Leo took back the bronze mirror. Little Fatty was still a little reluctant to part with it. Leo winked at him and Chubby Boy smiled. Only Mirror Demon and I know the truth. Although we haven't discussed this matter, we are very concerned.
The next day, they sewed the two quilts together and changed them into sleeping bags so that they wouldn't catch a cold when they slept. The design of the military flag was a headache for a while. After searching for a long time among the hundreds of military flags that the Mirror Demon had given him, he finally decided to refer to an ancient military flag and modify it to a picture with the sun as the background, a pigeon resting on the tip of the sword, and the tip of the sword pointing at the sky.
Because they did not dare to make a sound, they could only talk about the bugle and military song in the future. Everyone distributed their equipment, and each of them only received a military shovel. Monkey asked Chubby Boy to bring green paint and drew lines on the children's faces and clothes. From afar, they looked like grass. After packing up, they marched towards the city.
They walked along the railway tunnel, the river overgrown with weeds, and the rugged mountain road into the city. Everyone was so tired that they could not walk. They snuggled up to an empty house in the ruins to rest. They could not light a fire, make a sound, or tell a story. No one had expected that being a scout would be so hard. They cried out from the mosquito bites, and their calves were cramping from exhaustion. Leo and the judge applied medicine on everyone and massaged their legs.
Two little girls were trembling in fear. Leo asked the Mirror Demon to release Fairy Island and the underwater world. Everyone watched happily and fell asleep quietly. This was perhaps the sweetest sleep of their lives.
At dawn, the judge went out to pee and found a black shadow walking quietly among the ruins. The judge bent over and ran over carefully, pressing him to the ground. It was a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a denim hat. The judge told him not to speak and brought him back to the camp to see Leo.
Leo asked him softly,"What are you looking for?"
Boy: My name is Cowboy. My parents and I hid in a nearby cave and came out at night to find some daily necessities and food for them.
Monkey got up from his sleeping bag and said,"You look like a cowboy in this hat. You're quite handsome!"
I found it backstage at a theater. Look. He took out a few bras from his pocket and said," I'm taking them back for my mother to wear. They're brand new. I took them from the counter of the department store. They have everything there." Unfortunately, the food supermarket in the basement was burnt down.
Everyone laughed foolishly. Monkey rummaged through the bag and took out some canned food and biscuits for him. The Cowboy thanked him. The judge asked him,"Do you want to join the Boy Scouts and destroy the God of War?"
Cowboy: Yeah, I've been dreaming of fighting them. But my parents are waiting for me in the cave. I know a fallout shelter that has a lot of people there. You can go and find them to participate together. I even sent them food. Come, let me show you.
Through the branches of a dead tree, everyone could see the outline of a red-brick, black-tiled cathedral in the distance. The cross pointed at the pale moon in the sky. Beside the moon were a few dark clouds.
Monkey: " You can join us now, and then I'll give you a break. You can carry out the mission when you return to the team." Judge, do you think this is okay?
The judge said yes, and then the Cowboy solemnly swore with the judge. Then he said, It's almost dawn. I have to go. I'll look for you in the future.
Leo: We'll be waiting for you.
The Cowboy said goodbye to his companions. Everyone was very happy and watched him walk through the ruins and into the mountains.
Suddenly, a golden eagle flew out of nowhere and pounced on him. Fortunately, the Cowboy dodged quickly and was not pounced on.
Everyone picked up their shovels and ran out. The golden eagle immediately turned around and dived again, but the judge hit its claws with the shovel. The golden eagle screamed in pain and flew away.
The children woke up with a start and quickly packed up to leave. They followed Leo and ran to the church. The Cowboy ran along, not wanting to expose his parents 'hiding place.
A large group of golden eagles flew over. The black mass made people's hearts jump.
The adults in the church heard the shouts and ran out to welcome them. They hugged them and ran back. Two children fell down. Leo and the judge went back to save the two children, but it was too late. They were captured by the golden eagle.
The golden eagle attacked the church's door, but fortunately, it closed in time. The golden eagle landed and swayed at the entrance. A few of them attacked the windows and skylights, shattering the glass that was pieced together by the various colored blocks.
The debris fell, and dozens of children screamed inside. The adults hid the children under a row of chairs and covered them with quilts. The adults were covered in wounds from the glass shards, and the shards pierced into their flesh.
A golden eagle crawled into the window and flew around the church, attacking continuously. The adults knocked the golden eagle unconscious on the pulpit of the church with shovels. Leo went up and hit it with the shovel for a long time before it was completely killed.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Suddenly, three golden eagles came in and shattered the chandeliers and wall lamps on the ceiling. Rows of chairs were overturned and the podium was knocked down. The children screamed and ran around, and several of them were taken away. The two adults were also taken away.
Leo dodged in a hurry and stepped on the square carpet on the floor of the podium, revealing a groove. He dug into the groove and uncovered a large square floor. It turned out that there was a very spacious secret room below. Leo quickly called for everyone to hide in the secret room. Leo was the last to enter the secret room. He closed the lid with a bang and inserted the shovel into the handle to lock the lid. The golden eagles stomped their feet on the lid, but they couldn't open it and flew away in all directions.
Through the cracks in the floor, a few rays of dawn sunlight shone in. Dust floated in the sunlight. The children were shivering and their faces were pale with fear. Leo and the judge's hands were also trembling.
The adults were all captured, and they became the oldest people. They looked at each other and pulled themselves together. Monkey counted, 6 were alive, 2 were captured, and 1 was injured.
The Cowboy said,"Count me in?"
"Sorry, seven including you."
Little Fatty leaned into Leo's arms and said," I'm so scared. I want to go home."
The other children cried, I want to go home, I want to go home.
Did he have a home to return to? Monkey lowered his head and tears fell to the ground.
The children wiped their tears in the air of fear and grief. Leo took out some medicine and bandaged the injured child.
After a while, a golden eagle landed heavily on the lid. A sound came from the lid. No one could tell what the sound was. It sounded like a water pipe dragging on the ground or a small hole in the pipe that was spraying water. The beams of light that shot in were blocked for a while, and then shot in again, as if something was swimming.
Monkey stood up and looked outside through the gap in the lid. One of the snake heads stared at him, its two halves sticking out its tongue. He was so scared that he fell to the ground. He shouted,"Snake!"
Everyone curled up and did not dare to look up. Leo and the judge looked up at the lid.
The poisonous snake licked its mouth and said,"Hello, children." Your parents sent me to bring you back to reunite. I promise you, enjoy your life and there's nothing to worry about. Think about it carefully. Once you've decided, report to the concentration camp in the east of the city. If you're late and can't find your mother, don't blame me. Ha, ha!
The children were in a commotion.
What are you waiting for? Let's go find Mommy? said Glasses, looking inquiringly at the Cowboy. The Cowboy glared at him and said,"You don't have to look at me. I'd rather die than go to them."
How can you be so easily fooled? the judge said as he tugged at Glasses 'shirt.
Glasses shook off his hand and said,"Don't touch me!" I'm not stupid. It's all your fault for offending them. If they get angry, they'll eat us. By then, it'll be too late.
Leo: Do you believe his promise?
The winner's promise was always more credible! You pitiful losers! Glasses removed the shovel, lifted the lid, and ran off. The children looked at each other and swarmed off with him. Only a few children were still standing there, not knowing what to do.
Leo closed the lid, closed his eyes, and leaned his head against the wall, tears streaming down his face. The judge and Monkey lowered their heads in silence. Little Fatty was scratching the wall in boredom. The depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time.
Seeing their depressed looks, I was very anxious. I had no words to comfort them, and I couldn't think of any decent way. I discussed with the Mirror Demon whether I could ask Zhurong for help. Although he was afraid of meeting his master, he still agreed to me. I saw time and space travel, and all matter was distorted and flew behind me like thousands of meteors. Then, a palace shrouded in a peaceful mist and shimmer appeared. The vast universe was its wall, and thousands of stars dotted it.
A tall and handsome man walked over. He was wearing a milky white woolen battle robe and a golden, tight-fitting armor. His eyebrows and eyes were long, and his gaze was warm and loving. He stretched out his strong arm to me and raised my hand to kiss the back of it.
Just as I opened my mouth, he stopped me and said, I know your confusion and pain, your childhood loneliness and longing, your love and sacrifice. But what I don't know is why you're so beautiful and have such a kind heart.
I smiled shyly. No one had ever praised me like this and treated me like a lady. That kind of demeanor made me obsessed for a while.
Zhurong's voice was as beautiful and moving as the sound of a zither. It continued, You've endured many things that you shouldn't have, but brave warriors often accept difficult missions. You have a responsibility to the world, and you have to complete the path of saving yourself. Humans were the children of God, and suffering was a necessary condition for growth. God couldn't pamper you too much, because pampering would only make you dependent on them, thinking that all happiness and bestowments were taken for granted. Then, you would indulge and fall, and eventually be abandoned by God.
I said: We have been abandoned.
Zhurong: You have never been abandoned. The gods are watching you and pinning their hopes on you. You have to complete the trial. Don't disappoint us.
It took hundreds of years to build a civilization, but it only took an instant to destroy it. People spent their whole lives building their trust, and breaking it once could ruin their reputation. All happiness and happiness were so fragile that they had to be cherished bit by bit.
Don't bemoan the bad fate and the bad times. There has never been a perfect fate and there has never been a golden age. Accept suffering, love what you have, and fight for it. That is your destiny, and no one can replace it.
Even sacrifice and death were a part of life. If one did not understand death, one would not be able to understand life. Justice, justice, kindness, sincerity, forgiveness, hope and love were the things that could not be lost!
You should understand now, right?
"There's only one thing I understand, and that is to rely on myself.”
I will bless you and impart my precious wisdom and experience to you. This is the wealth of mankind, not the help of a god. Go, complete the trial. Zhurong held my hand reluctantly. A broad and holy love that was stronger and deeper than a father's love warmed her. An electric current entered her body from her fingertips.
She felt her brain shaking violently. Images of human life flashed past her eyes, and moving and profound fragments of various languages flashed past her eyes. When everything was over, she felt that her brain was full of energy. The feeling of seeing the world was different, as if she had become a wise old man.
The Mirror Demon said goodbye to Zhurong. Zhurong affirmed his patience and humility. The Mirror Demon felt gratified.
Zhurong gradually disappeared into the fog. His warmth still lingered on my fingertips.
……
I told Leo about what had just happened, but he didn't understand. I told him that we weren't abandoned by the gods, and that the gods were looking after us. His eyes sparkled with tears of happiness.
At this moment, Chubby Boy suddenly shouted,"Ah, this brick is moving!"
Everyone looked over. It turned out that he had accidentally poked a brick in. There was still space inside. They used shovels to break open the brick wall, revealing a more spacious secret chamber. Walking in, Monkey pried open a light stick and the entire secret room lit up.
There was a round table in the middle of the secret room. Beside it stood a row of wooden shelves filled with ancient weapons, as well as some armor, shields, and battle robes. There was a sheepskin scroll on the table. Leo blew off the dust and opened the scroll, revealing a map with a few lines of words:
In the year 1250, the God of War destroyed the world. The Boy Scouts swore their loyalty to eternal justice in this secret chamber. It lasted for five years. They fought to the death and defeated the God of War. Humans were saved. Leave this relic, wait for the next generation to inherit my ambition, in case of need.
Below it was a map of the Holy Sword's mountains and rivers.
The judge explained,"This is an ancient language. It means that in the year 1250, when the God of War destroyed the world, a boy scout was established here. He fought with the God of War for five years and saved mankind." Leave these things behind, hoping that we can fight the God of War like them. This was the map to Sacred Sword Mountain.
[Chubby Boy: Sacred Sword Mountain?]
Mirror Demon: The God of War relies on the dark energy of the Heart of Darkness to maintain the loyalty of the monsters. The Holy Sword was the only sacred item that could destroy the Heart of Darkness. It was unknown when it was sealed by the masters of creation, but that mountain was called Sacred Sword Mountain.
Leo said excitedly,"This is the guidance of the gods!"
Chubby Boy: There's hope for victory!
[Mirror Demon: Don't be too happy yet. We have to find nine Guardian Angels to summon the Holy Sword.]
Monkey,"I don't think it's that easy."
Judge: After all, there is a glimmer of hope!
Leo: What's this round table for?
Mirror Demon: The round table means equality and the world. Legend has it that King Arthur and the knights sat at a round table. They were equal and partners, sharing the power to manage the world and the obligation to save the crisis.
Leo praised with a solemn expression,"The spirit of a warrior is passed down from generation to generation!"
Monkey: Everyone can manage the world?
Mirror Demon: After victory.
Monkey's passion for fighting was truly ignited this time.
Judge: It is sad that human tragedies keep repeating themselves.
Mirror Demon: There is no eternal peace, it is either Gonggong or someone else. Compared to the other evil forces, Gong Gong was neither the strongest nor the worst.
I said,"Is there anyone worse than Gong Gong?"
Demons! Oh, no, humans were the scariest. The Mirror Demon looked at their surprised expressions and explained,"You will agree with me when you grow up."
Chubby Boy: Then what are we still fighting for? A few hundred years later, there would be another war!
Without fighting, peace would never come by itself. Leo said.
They picked their weapons and changed into their battle robes and armor. They raised their weapons above their heads and shouted, For victory!
A few children who were watching from the side also raised their weapons and shouted, And us!
Everyone was fully armed and quietly ran towards the concentration camp in the east of the city.
He lurked on a hillside and saw the children in the concentration camp lining up to receive food. Glasses and monsters were guarding with whips and wolf fang sticks, cursing non-stop.
"Useless trash, a bunch of machines that produce feces! Stand up!"
Glasses walked over and whipped a child who had an injured calf. Monkey couldn't stand it and aimed at his glasses, but he was stopped by the judge. A golden eagle suddenly appeared above his head, and a poisonous snake was lying on the back of the golden eagle. Monkey turned his target to the poisonous snake.
Viper shivered and shouted with a trembling voice," I'm so scared, please don't shoot me! Haha. So it's you guys. I haven't seen you for hundreds of years.
Leo: What are you talking about?
"We've dealt with each other before. Isn't my portrait engraved on the hilt of your sword?”
Leo looked at the hilt of the sword. There was indeed a snake head with rough cutting skills on it.
Judge: He mistook us for the original Boy Scouts.
Leo suddenly realized,"We are the new generation of Boy Scouts, inheriting the will of the martyrs!"
"Your ancestor is very lucky. I don't know how lucky you are, but it's better to find a witch to read your fortune!”
"What do you want?"
"Alright, I won't waste my breath on you guys. Let's get down to business. The God of War has prepared a sumptuous dinner and is waiting in the palace to celebrate your victory. He designed a game for you guys, the rules are…"
Judge: I don't have time to play with you. Call him out for a duel!
Viper put on a pitiful expression,'Duels are a fool's game, the God of War wouldn't play like this.' Do you want to hear the rules or not?
In a fit of anger, the monkey shot the arrow out. It didn't even touch the golden eagle's feathers before it fell weakly.
Viper laughed and said,"How accurate!" Haha! Impulsiveness belonged to the devil. The God of War has set up nine Evil Spirit Fortresses. To have dinner with him, you must break through them one by one. This was the first part.
Leo: What about the second part?
Let's talk about it after we pass the fortress. I will pray for you and hope that you can pass the first stage. It's good to be young. I'm not afraid of anything! Haha! Viper laughed and turned to the monsters, saying, leave these burdens to them! Dr. Glasses, come with me. If they caught him, he would be minced into meat paste. Haha!
He rode on the Golden Eagle and took the glasses away. The monsters ran away.
……
The camp was filled with a foul smell. Rotten food and garbage were piled beside the big pots, and there were muddy puddles everywhere.
The disabled children lived in tattered tents, with festering wounds and distorted figures everywhere. The children were covered in mud, their clothes were thin and tattered, and their eyes were filled with despair. The only tableware was a porcelain bowl full of stains and gaps. The children fiddled with it with their dirty hands, drank the last drop of soup, and then licked the dirty bowl clean.
In the tent, the children were wrapped in tattered black quilts and bloodstained chicken feathers. There was a pile of feces at the door.
Everyone frowned, their hearts unusually heavy.
The Boy Scouts immediately held a meeting and listed a few tasks: They cleaned up the camp and disinfected it together, and the judge set up a military system, arranging the children into formations and commanding them to train the army. Monkey and Cowboy returned to the military camp and the department store to collect food, daily necessities, and tents to re-establish order. He would choose a few girls to establish a field medical team to treat the wounded and prevent diseases. Leo organized people to forge weapons.
The judge asked,"How can we operate without information?"
Mirror Demon: I have everything here.
I said,"Unfortunately, I can't go out. Otherwise, I would like to be a medical team."
Chubby Boy: Why didn't I get a job?
Monkey: You, who are you working with?
"I want to work independently. I'm not a child anymore."
Judge: You play games with the children. If anyone cries again, I'll come to you.
"Don't worry, playing games is my forte, but I don't have any toys.”
Cowboy: I'll bring you some.
"That's great!"
Leo said seriously,"Let's get started!"
……
They turned the concentration camp into a military camp in two weeks. The children regained their freedom and happiness. Despair and fear were driven away by their care and encouragement. Not only did they eat and wear warm clothes, but they also participated in cultural studies and military drills every day.
They were exhausted, but they were very happy. They felt a sense of accomplishment when they saw the children recover their health and will to live. They didn't expect themselves to be so useful, nor did they expect to bring happiness to others, be respected, loved, and relied on.
However, they had also been troubled for a time. For example, naughty boys often broke things, often joked with girls, and teased them. They quarreled over trifles or jokes, fought in groups, and took revenge on the boys who had bullied them. Girls 'underwear was often lost for no reason; Children who were obsessed with cleanliness were unwilling to live with other children; The couple sneaked out at night to hold hands…
Every time this happened, they would think of giving up. After all, they were not mature yet. There were some problems that they had not thought through clearly. How would they know how to deal with them? Fortunately, the Mirror Demon provided them with all possible suggestions and replayed similar events in history. He even explained the knowledge of puberty hygiene. They felt that their knowledge and skills were lacking, so they sought out the Mirror Demon to supplement them. Through constant attempts and failures, they learned their lessons and gradually became more proficient.
Although the judge had contributed greatly to discipline and organizational development, he was sometimes too stubborn. Leo and Monkey helped him smooth things over. Monkey was often unprincipled and vain. The judge and Leo often criticized him. Cowboys were more experienced and could use their actions to show their abilities. In short, they had to mature a little earlier, and they did what they expected.
I'm proud of the boys, and I'm getting more and more confident in my career. Perhaps it was destined that Mirror Demon and I weren't picked up by the wrong person. Otherwise, everything would have been different. I was secretly surprised that the children in the fishing village were not as bad as the children in the city. They were more tenacious and persistent. Perhaps they had always thought that life was so real and serious that it could not be half-hearted. I think there might be another reason. Their lives are not far from this kind of suffering, so they can quickly adapt and actively change it, unlike other children who complain and don't know what to do. They felt that they had gained a lot, unlike others who always lamented about their losses.
The injured children had already recovered. A batch of weapons had been forged. The judge and the monkey managed the military camp and continued to train and learn. Little Fatty played games with the children. Leo and the Cowboy set off on their journey.
