Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the video, Feng Qi saw himself in a striped prison uniform. His hands and feet were bound by black chains as he stood on the huge circular execution platform.
At this mont, his skin was pale, and his lips were dry and cracked as if he had not seen the sun for a long ti. His hair was even more ssy. He stood there with his head lowered, looking very thin and downtrodden.
Behind him stood a dignified man wearing the uniform of the Star City garrison. He was holding a large saber.
This execution was publicly live-stread. Everyone could watch the exact process through the Internet. Furthermore, “decapitation” which had long been abandoned in modern society was used. It could be seen how serious the situation was.
However, this made Feng Qi very puzzled.
Public executions were understandable, perhaps to deter potential dangers.
However, the problem was that even the execution thod of Mu Qing, who had slaughtered several cities, was kept a secret. Who am I that I had to be publicly executed?
Puzzled, he continued watching.
As ti passed, the man in a military uniform behind him said, “Feng Qi, do you have anything to say before you die?”
In the face of the question, he slowly raised his head, revealing a haggard and thin face. He opened his mouth and said, “Do you hate ?”
With this, the screen was filled with comnts cursing at him.
Even the military man standing behind him could not help but say, “You betrayed us. Isn’t that worth hating?”
The onlookers standing around the execution ground threw stones at him.
Looking at the scene of mass outrage, he shook his head and chuckled.
“You will never understand the real . If I let you try to walk the path I’ve taken, perhaps you won’t even have the courage to take a step forward. What you know about is only the tip of the iceberg, and your evaluation of can’t even constitute one ten-thousandth of who 1 am.”
Looking at the angry curses that kept moving across the screen, Feng Qi clenched his fists in front of the video.
He could imagine how painful his future self felt at that mont.
He had once wanted to save the world without hesitation, but in the end, he had to suffer the curses and insults of the world, believing that he was a traitor who hindered the developnt of human civilization.
He did not hate the people of the world, because they were rely blinded and did not understand the real truth.
Their anger towards him also stemd from their love for this world, so he could understand that feeling.
However, he could not forgive the dark power that controlled everything behind the scenes and played with the world.
At this mont, the thought of destroying the Scarlet Research Institute beca even more urgent.
In the video, after saying that, he was escorted to the beheading platform in the center of the execution platform.
At this mont, a commotion appeared on the screen.
The military personnel surrounding the execution platform were pushed away. Feng Qi saw a beautiful figure appear on the screen. She was wearing a black robe, slim and tall. She walked up the execution platform step by step.
Behind her was another figure in a black robe protecting her.
Seeing this person and the badge on his black robe, no one dared to stop them.
When the black robe was lifted, he saw a familiar face. It was Mu Qing.
“Feng Qi, I’ll take you back.”
“I’m a sinner now. I can’t leave.” In the image, he raised his head and smiled at Mu Qing.
“I don’t believe it. The Feng Qi in my eyes loves this world more than anyone else.” Looking at his haggard face, Mu Qing’s eyes were moist.
“Don’t make any mistakes. You’re now the commander of a top domain combat team. You’re an elite human. You’ll have a bright future. Don’t be implicated by .”
Mu Qing did not respond to him this ti. She reached out and grabbed the tal chain. Under the huge force, the special black chain imdiately shattered and broke off inch by inch.
When he saw this scene, the expression of the military man standing behind Feng Qi changed drastically.
“Commander Mu, what are you doing? Is it worth it for a traitor?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly stared at the man. Her eyes were red.
“He’s not a traitor!”
Under Mu Qing’s gaze, the military man was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Qi hurriedly stopped them.
“Don’t be stupid. This is the military. Don’t be implicated by .”
“If I want to save you, no one can stop .”
Seeing that Mu Qing was about to take him from the execution ground, he suddenly slapped her. In her silence, he said,
“Calm down. Don’t beco a sinner in history like .”
“Am 1 supposed to watch you die then?” Mu Qing’s eyes were moist as she suppressed her sadness and said.
“Do you rember the promise we made under the willow tree? To fight for the future of mankind for the rest of our lives. Now7 that you’ve established your own domain combat team, if you take with you today, you’ll also beco a sinner in history. All your efforts will be in vain.”
“Then do you still rember? You said you’d be my deputy.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi in the video was clearly stunned. Then, he shook his head and sighed.
“I broke my word.”
“I brought enough manpower to ensure that we can leave Star City safely…”
Before Mu Qing could finish speaking, he could not help but say angrily, “Leave? Where to? Are you going to live a life of hiding? Even if it’s unbearable, you have to endure it. Rember the mission you carry. If I fall, you have to shoulder my dream and continue walking. Don’t let die with regrets.”
Looking at Feng Qi, who had a haggard expression but a firm gaze, Mu Qing was silent for a long ti before asking,
“Must you die?”
“I must.”
Hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly stomped her feet. Imdiately, cracks spread out from the punishnt platform with her as the center.
“What if I insist on rescuing you?”
The surrounding military personnel were extrely nervous at this mont.
“Don’t let spend the rest of my life in pain. Give up.”
Hearing this, a drop of tears fell from her eyes, as if she already understood that he was determined to die.
“I swear that 1 will investigate everything and avenge you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qing turned around and left with the other figures in black robes. She did not look back.
Upon seeing this scene, the mbers of the execution ground’s military departnt, who had been tense the entire ti, heaved a sigh of relief.
Presently, Mu Qing was already the commander of a top-notch domain combat team. Even the military did not dare to easily get into a conflict with her. In the end, they allowed her to leave. The deterrent effect was obvious.
After Mu Qing left, Feng Qi stood at the execution ground again.
“It’s ti. Leave your last words. It’s ti to go,” the military man standing behind him said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, he nodded in the video. Then, he looked up and smiled.
“If you see this scene, don’t feel guilty. To the failed , this is a relief. You’re the one who shoulders the heavy burden and walks on. Ignore the comnts of the world!
“Rember, my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror. There is justice in all that 1 do. It’s fine as long as I have a clear conscience!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the saber slashed down, and a bright red color scattered.
Accompanied by the cheers on the screen, Feng Qi clenched his fists and punched the control panel heavily.
[You’re the one who shoulders the heavy burden and walks on. Your future self chose to sacrifice himself not only for Mu Qing’s sake but also to fulfill your wish. Don’t disappoint him.]
Feng Qi gritted his teeth and said with red eyes, “I will continue walking.. I will never!
Give! Up!”
