Chapter 375: Noah's Ark Brings Hope to People
Afterwards, the captain felt as if something was missing from him, as if something had been left behind.
The captain was gradually suppressed by the voice in his head, and his hand uncontrollably wanted to press the button to start mapping.
The gray button twisted and deformed before the captain's eyes, gradually turning yellow.
The captain reached out and pressed the yellow [button], and then the entire space began to distort, giving me a familiar feeling.
The pain in his chest finally reached its peak, and before he fell into the inevitable dizziness, his vision was blocked by the hood.
There was a voice in my head that continued to echo in my ears, becoming real and lonely, and... getting farther and farther away...
[Sorry, I am not the Noah in the story. I am just... a ferryman on the quantum sea.]
[Perhaps you can indeed take a different path, but at this point, you and we can no longer be united.]
[I must do it, so you...you must leave.]
When this voice fell, the last voice that rang in the captain's ears was another one.
[Captain, welcome to Hyperion. ]
After saying this, the captain opened his eyes again, and everything returned to the beginning.
[Paimon] "I didn't expect this to be the birth of a captain."
[Xilin] "Although I already knew that the captain was the original intention abandoned by the ferryman, I still couldn't help but feel emotional and surprised when I saw it with my own eyes."
[Fu Hua] "The original intention of the ferryman has never been erased, but... it has been abandoned by him."
[Otto] "Because the plan of sacrificing many innocent lives in exchange for [Home] was something that Chu Xin would never allow, so he abandoned him and became the captain of the Quantum Sea."
[Su (Elysian Land)] "The ferryman has two choices. One is to collect ether singularities from other worlds and use them to create a home. This is the only way to achieve the end in his opinion. Of course, the price is that everyone in that world will die without exception."
"The second choice is to continue to believe in the good, and to keep moving forward on this road without a single ray of hope, relying only on the pitiful light of faith in your heart. How long will it take to reach the end, or whether there is an end at all...all of this is unknown."
[Alicea] "Fortunately, the captain who chose to believe in miracles finally created a miracle."
The video continued. The captain opened his eyes and everything in front of him had returned to normal. Rosemary was still standing in front of him, calling out to the captain, "Captain? Captain!"
At some point, the captain had returned to the collection room. The object in front of him was still the strange rounded cube. Everything he had just experienced was like a memory of the past, and also like... another reflection of consciousness...
Rosemary: "Captain? Are you okay? What did you see? Why did you suddenly start crying?"
The captain heard the familiar voice, and his restless heart finally calmed down. "I'm fine, it's just... nothing. I think I figured out the function of this object. It should be a video recording of some past events."
Having said that, I felt that I had indeed made several choices, as if it were a real consciousness mapping...
Captain: "Hmm? Look over there? It looks like that's us."
A huge broken bull horn with an easily recognizable inscription carved on it, recording the fall of a world.
[A huge hole appeared in the sky, heavy rain poured down, huge waves swept our city, and God's apostles wreaked havoc on the world.
[The earth collapsed, buildings collapsed, and the mountain was cut in half.]
[When everything was about to end, someone reached out to us——]
[I recognize that ship. It is a huge ship that sails and fills the sea. It is an ark that crosses the end of the world.]
[I have never seen that person, but I know that it must be the legendary Noah. Just as it is recorded in the book, Noah dispersed the rainstorm, and the sun shone brightly on the earth.]
[Birds hold olive branches in their beaks, and children ride on willow crowns.]
【We celebrate, dance, and look forward to tomorrow】
This is the first paragraph on the horns, a monument left by a man who experienced suffering and disaster for Noah the savior.
[The rain started to fall again, day after day, year after year, and even Noah couldn't stop the rain this time.]
[The area of arable land is getting smaller and smaller, and the seeds planted are difficult to germinate. People die from hunger and accidents every day. ]
【So the man returned the willow crown to us, and here, the magical power built a barrier for us to keep the heavy rain out.】
[In the sea, the city was rebuilt, and Noah made a promise to us. ]
[We just need to wait, wait for the giant ship to return from the sea again, and it will surely take us to a new world together. ]
From this passage, we can see people's desire for the future and hope. They believe that one day, Noah will bring them to a beautiful world.
There, all disasters and sorrows will cease to exist, and it will be a place that can be called "home".
However, the captain knew very well that they did not wait for the return of the giant ship.
[Finally, the evil bull's huge horns smashed the fragile barrier, and the sea water poured in. ]
[Our city fell and was destroyed once again. People around us were swallowed up and died one by one.]
[I originally thought that I could only accept the same fate, but that person once again reached out and saved me.]
【Why are you crying? You don't need to blame yourself. 】
[Singularity, world bubble, quantum sea, destruction, I don’t understand... but please don’t apologize. ]
[Our world should have been destroyed long ago, but you gave us hope again. We always believe that you will find a new paradise and create a world where no one will be hurt. ]
[So, please take it away. The singularity of our world, everything in our world, please take it away. ]
[Your wish is our wish, to turn the remnants of our world into nutrients for the new world.]
[Even if you are not Noah in the story, even if you are just a ferryman on the sea, you can definitely do it. Because...]
【You are always our hero. 】
After the captain read this text, the video ended here.
[End of video playback]
When everyone saw the video finally end, they felt extremely complicated.
This is the life of a ferryman.
He wants to be Noah, and he is indeed working hard for it.
But the reality pressed him to the ground mercilessly, without giving him a glimmer of hope.
Although the ferryman eventually went to extremes, at this moment, everyone paid high tribute to him.
Bid him a final farewell.
