After listening to Master's recording, the room fell into silence.
I originally wanted to look for clues that the master might leave behind, but I didn't expect that the master had predicted this and told him in advance that there was no way.
Listening to the master's joking tone, the four people in the room were really speechless.
In Master's words, death seems to be a very easy thing.
At this time, it was Jiang Chen who broke the silence first and said:
"Since Master means this, let's prepare Master's funeral first and let me make the arrangements."
No one responded to Jiang Chen's words because it was really unacceptable.
Jiang Chen naturally understood that Yu Ye and Chi Ye fell in love with each other at home, so he turned to Nangong Qianfeng and said:
"Qian Feng, we all have to express our condolences about Master. It's been hard following us around these days. Go back and rest first. I will inform everyone about Master's funeral."
Originally, I should have comforted Yu Ye, Chi Ye and Jiang Chen about Ji Qinglin's death. After all, they were Ji Qinglin's orthodox disciples and had a closer relationship.
But in the end, I was so sad that I couldn't help it, and I had to ask others to comfort me.
Nangong Qianfeng could only agree immediately, nodded and left:
"I am sorry for your loss!"
Back in the car, Uncle Mo saw Nangong Qianfeng's distraught appearance and comforted him while driving:
"This is how the world is, life and death, fighting and killing, even Ji Qinglin can't escape these, but after all, it is a choice made for the apprentice."
Nangong Qianfeng didn't listen to Uncle Mo's nagging comfort, and curled up in the back seat.
His mind was full of the scene when Ji Qinglin was with him.
He saved himself in a broken house in the wilderness, went to the Four Seas Trading Company to seek support, met again at the Cultivation Competition, saved himself in the Four Seas Trading Company, comforted and accompanied his father when he passed away, and helped him win at the Taoist Wish Conference.
I have long wanted to repay Ji Qinglin, or take the relationship between the two further, but I never had the courage to pry open the window paper.
Every time I always think about how this bad guy behaves, I will express my feelings directly or force it.
Just push again and again until finally there is no next chance.
The only skin-to-skin contact with Ji Qinglin was in the Penglai fairyland he taught
Although it is not a real physical collision, those touches are completely real.
Thinking of Nangong Qianfeng, he couldn't help but enter the interior scene, trying to recall that beautiful memory.
As a result, after entering the interior scene, Nangong Qianfeng discovered that Ji Qinglin's body was still there in the cloud state.
Even though she knew these were all illusions, Nangong Qianfeng still couldn't help but rush up and hug Ji Qinglin.
Knowing that the voice cannot be transmitted to the other party here, and the other party is just a phantom, Nangong Qianfeng still couldn't help but spit out all the words he wanted to say.
"You idiot! Come back. As long as you come back, I will promise you anything!"
In the bedroom of the grocery store, Yuye and Chiye were really in no mood to contact their master about his funeral.
However, they couldn't bear to see the senior sister contacting her master's old friends alone, so they could only help contact the outside world.
Upon hearing the news of Master's death, no one was surprised and confirmed it again and again.
Because everyone really couldn't believe that Ji Qinglin, a legend at his peak, would fall like this.
President Lei Qiong even hung up the phone and rushed to the grocery store with Lei Qiuyun.
It wasn't until Jiang Chen told what happened in person that the president finally believed it.
President Lei Qiong was originally a sweetheart, and at this time, a white-haired person who sent a black-haired person could not help but feel sad.
Perhaps it was also because they were worried that Yuye and the others would do something stupid without their master, so it wasn't until it got late that the president and his daughter left.
As for the Fourth Association, Jiang Chen notified Lei Qiong, Pei Ruohai and Shan Luling, who then informed the people in the Chamber of Commerce.
Master's funeral is tentatively scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and the location is arranged on the first floor of Tiandao Consulting. After all, the space in the grocery store is limited.
According to Master's instructions in the recording, it doesn't need to be grand, as long as the notification is in place.
The three of them contacted each other in confusion and made preparations for the funeral. Yuye, who originally wanted to go out for a walk, finally picked up a bottle of wine and jumped onto the rooftop opposite the grocery store.
Chi Ye and Jiang Chen also wanted to drink to drown their sorrows, so they each grabbed a bottle and jumped in.
Before setting off for Okinawa, the bottles the master and apprentice drank from were still thrown on the roof.
Looking at the wine bottle on the ground, Yu Ye didn't take the cup, but bit open the mica and unicorn grass wine bottle stored by the master and drank it in a big gulp.
While drinking with his head raised, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Chi Ye and Jiang Chen clinked the wine bottles and took a sip of their own thoughts.
Looking at the two junior sisters drinking to drown their sorrows, Jiang Chen sighed:
"What are your plans next?"
Chi Ye took another sip of wine and said:
"I want to start master's heavenly consultation in the shortest possible time. Wait until I destroy Aragami Technology and kill that bastard Sanada! He was also involved in what harmed master. Where is senior sister?"
"I don't have any ideas. I wanted to stay with the master all the time. Since the master has left, I will stay with you two. In addition, I will continue to search for the remains of the immortal. Yuye, what about you? Do you want to continue to search for your past?"
Hearing this, Yuye took a sip of wine, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, shook his head and said:
"I have no past, and I am not going to look for it anymore. From today on, I am just Master's Yu Ye."
"Then what's your plan next?"
I remembered what Master said in the cultivation competition: When Master is not around, I am him.
Yu Ye said with a determined expression:
"Practice the teacher's way and follow the teacher's path!"
————————
"Immortal, Ji Qinglin is really dead."
"Can you confirm? Where is Ji Qinglin's apprentice named Yuye?"
"I saw them return to the grocery store safe and sound."
"So Ji Qinglin committed suicide to replenish her soul. What a fool! He wasted the opportunity to relieve the pain of soul disappearance! He lost to Lian because of this bit of humanity back then, and now he dies because of this bit of humanity. Damn it, there is no intact body.”
"Immortal, shall we take action against that Yu Ye?"
"It's not necessary. After the replenishment of her soul consciousness is completed, it has no meaning to me. The first task now is to quickly deploy the intelligent machines with awakening consciousness around the world. It will take about a day for the soul to take effect, so we must race against time!"
"Yes! Has the celestial being reincarnated again to teach?"
"My soul consciousness has also been seriously damaged after this battle, and it will take some time to cultivate. However, I will guide you. As long as you follow what I say, the omnic revolution will be completed soon!"
"yes!"
————————
In the Aragami Technology headquarters, Sanada received a call from his subordinate for investigation.
"Mr. Sanada, Ji Qinglin is dead."
"Dead? Can you confirm?"
"There should be no mistake. Okinawa has been completely sealed off, and the Aoki on Akashima seems to have been wiped out."
Unexpectedly, the man named Ah Qing actually did it, and he also died. What happened on the island?
"Mr. Sanada, one threat and one potential threat have been eliminated. This is good news."
"Good news! My clone is still there. How will I explain it then? Maybe Ji Qinglin will blame me for his death. After all, they may not be able to find out the details of Ah Qing, but they will definitely be able to find out the clone. The body belongs to me, and if it is just Ji Qinglin who dies, it may still be explained, but I am worried that there is something big going on here, so I will continue to pay close attention."
"yes!"
Didi——
As soon as he hung up the phone, Sanada suddenly received an official email.
"According to reliable information from relevant departments, an Internet virus called 'Shenhun' is currently spreading rapidly.
This virus mainly targets all omnics that do not yet have independent consciousness. After being poisoned, the omnics are likely to develop partial independent consciousness or be controlled by the virus creator.
Companies need to be more vigilant and take necessary isolation measures for smart devices in advance to avoid worsening the situation.
As for more detailed information, the authorities are working hard to investigate, and everyone is asked to actively cooperate and handle it properly. "
What's the meaning? An omnic revolution?
Although the meaning of this official email is very euphemistic, doesn't it mean that the omnic revolution has broken out?
Thinking again of Ah Qing's connection with the Bangkok Huyan Zongren Intellectual Weapon Case, and the timing being so consistent, Sanada couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Isn’t this virus thing related to Akashima?
————————
Bang——
Inside the secret police headquarters, Cui Sanmei threw the water glass to the ground.
He cursed at the virtual image in front of him:
"Don't fucking talk to me about this nonsense! One death and three injuries at the airport were caused by the omnics lurking there. What does it have to do with my people? If my people weren't here, you would only die more. !I don’t think there is any problem with the execution of our mission!”
Cui Sheng'an on the side also gently waved his hand to calm down the third sister. After all, these are people from the security departments of other global regions.
The North American Security Department participant who just questioned Cui Sanmei added:
"Let's just say that one of our people died and three were injured by accident, but the idea of global omnic independence sounds too unbelievable, and currently you have no evidence to prove that the omnic independence crisis really exists. You know, there are still people all over the world. A large number of omnics already have independent consciousness.
If your information is wrong, any information we release or decisions we make may directly lead to a crisis of trust between humans and omnics, breaking the originally stable and harmonious situation, and this may be more serious than the independence of omnic consciousness, so we We need to know the exact information. Please ask Ms. Cui to ask the colleague who passed on this information to confirm it in person. "
Cui Sanmei rolled her eyes at the man and said:
"He died trying to get this information!"
Hearing this, the man was also stunned. Cui Sanmei suppressed her emotions and said:
"Would I joke with you about the information I gained in exchange for my colleague's life? I still have the same advice, and I will say it one last time: warn in advance and prepare in advance. We cannot overreact, but we must not sit still and wait for death!"
————————
Ji Qinglin's funeral was held as scheduled.
The location is on the first floor of the Tiandao Consulting building.
The decorated white mourning hall has a black-and-white photo of Ji Qinglin's smiling face placed in the center, which was taken when Ji Qinglin ran a grocery store.
Because there was no body, a huge glass coffin was placed in front of the portrait, and the only thing that came to worship was to put a white flower into the coffin.
According to what Master said in the recording, there are no cumbersome procedures and no noisy rituals.
After Jiang Chen finished his simple eulogy, amid the quiet sorrow and joy, Ji Qinglin's old friends, all dressed in black, stepped forward one by one to put flowers into the coffin to complete their final farewells.
The presidents of the Four Associations brought their respective chamber of commerce members, Cui Sanmei from the Secret Police Headquarters brought her colleagues, Xie Ling Fan Yu who rushed back, and the friends Ji Qinglin had made before.
Except for the coal boss who was in a good mood while eating the spare tribute, the entire mourning hall was filled with a sad atmosphere.
Wearing black Taoist robes and standing to the side, Yu Ye, Chi Ye and Jiang Chen also had a brief exchange with these old friends of the master.
It was already last night when Lu Bing rushed back. After hearing the details of the incident, he knew that there was nothing he could do to save the situation, so he put on a small black dress to comfort the three of them.
Nangong Qianfeng also came early, and it seemed that his mood was much more stable than before. He discussed with Chi Ye the follow-up plan of Tiandao Consultation. After all, this was the only thing he could do to help Ji Qinglin.
Maybe there were patients to take care of, so Shen Bixin arrived a little later. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen and there were faint dark circles. It seemed that she had stayed up late and not slept well in the past two days.
Yu Ye knew that although Dr. Shen looked strong and was never gentle towards her master, her love for her master was always obvious and mature.
As a doctor who is used to seeing life and death, Sister Bi Xin's current state speaks for itself.
Yuye asked:
"Sister Bi Xin, are you okay? I'm sorry, we should have come to explain Master's matter."
"It doesn't matter, life and death are fateful, you three must take care of yourselves, otherwise your master's spirit in heaven will not rest in peace."
As he was talking here, he heard Cui Sanmei's phone reply in a low voice coming from the corner of the first floor:
"I have warned you in advance. If you don't listen, who is to blame for the casualties? Ask for help from our seconded people? Sorry, Bangkok cannot do without secret police! We are also afraid that 'improper command' will bring you casualties again! You guys It’s up to you to handle the matter yourself!”
Last night, omnic riots began to appear in some parts of North America, and signs of it began to emerge in other places.
In just one night, dozens of people have died in riots in North America. The person in charge who was still questioning Cui Sanmei for causing one of their deaths in Okinawa now only hopes to get more information or provide some information from Sanmei. Effective experience.
Cui Sanmei, who hung up the phone, looked at the portrait in the mourning hall with emotion.
Originally, Bangkok had to conduct an omnic investigation, but because Ji Qinglin had already eliminated Huyan Zongren's 500-strong omnic alchemist force, there was almost no pressure on the remaining investigation work.
There is no effective experience, it's just that someone has paid for it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Ye had already walked up to him.
"Third sister, I have a request to communicate with you."
"Yu Ye, you don't have to be polite to us. If you need any help, just say it. We owe you a lot about the omnics."
"I want to take over the position of Master."
Thank you for your reading and support! (Ji Qinglin: I am dead. I have something to burn.)
