Keyi watched the spacecraft gradually vanish from her sight, her gaze losing its luster. Light and hope, beauty and dreams, all disappeared with Diqi. What meaning did life hold for her now? There were no tears in Keyi’s eyes. She remembered the happy days with Diqi. Then, in the joy of those memories, she raised the gun to her own temple.
“Miss Keyi – Miss Keyi – where are you?”
When Adin arrived, Keyi was gone. Nothing was left at the scene, as if she had never existed in this world. Had Miss Keyi gone to meet God? He had just seen a brilliant, dazzling light here, following the light but seeing nothing. Like a dream. Like a miracle. Perhaps that light was God coming to take Miss Keyi. Miss Keyi was not someone meant for this world.
He knelt down, devoutly praying to the heavens, wishing Miss Keyi to be with God, forever blessed.
Mirror Lake was glowing, more radiant than usual. Because all the lights at the bottom of Mirror Lake were turned on. She had important tasks to do. This empire operated through a high-tech computer network, and her true existence was a supercomputer connected to the entire empire’s network. If her “brain” were to become paralyzed, the entire empire’s network system would collapse, and the empire would perish.
She had never met anyone at such a time, but this time, Mis had to see her. The countless network lines in the empire were her neural endings, and she sensed unease from the subtle changes in these neural endings. Something big was happening.
Mis walked into the magnificent hall.
Countless brilliant lights shot from the high ceiling, constantly intersecting and changing, slowly forming a beautiful human figure. “Isgu Ge” was like a benevolent mother, dignified, intimate, and gentle.
“Mis, what do you want?” she asked.
“Yes.” Mis knelt on one knee before her: “I must report an unfortunate piece of news. Fucks, whom you trust and love, launched a military coup early this morning. His troops are gathering outside the city, preparing to attack us. I am certain that persuading him to confess is no longer possible.”
The light on “Gois Gu” disappeared, transforming into a blurry image where her features were indiscernible.
It was very quiet.
