The man in the light was tall and wore a solemn khaki windbreaker.
His expression was calm and collected, and his smile was very infectious. It was the appearance of the person Gu Nianzhi had seen in Ye Xuan's photo!
It was Gu Xiangwen.
It was her father, Gu Xiangwen!
What the hell was going on?!
Just as she was about to ask, the holographic avatar began to speak.
"Today is XX, XX, 2XXX. It should have been seven years and three months since the day I died."
The voice of the avatar should be Gu Xiangwen's own voice. It was a pleasant baritone, unhurried, calm, firm, and warm.
But these words … these words …
The warmth that had just risen from the bottom of Gu Nianzhi's heart was instantly frozen by these words.
How could someone use such a tone to announce his death?!
Gu Nianzhi wanted to pounce on him and cover his mouth. She didn't want to listen to him anymore. This wasn't real. This was just a dream. Huo Shaoheng must be teasing her …
However, Huo Shaoheng held her tightly so that she couldn't move. She couldn't even cover her ears.
Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar continued to speak.
"I am the owner of this submarine."
"Ever since I died, the computer system on the submarine has begun to automatically keep time."
"Day by day, month by month, year by year. I don't know when someone will discover my submarine."
"My countdown is only set to a hundred years."
"A hundred years later, the trench here will shake. At that time, my submarine and I will be sucked into the depths of the earth's crust. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
"I'm very happy that it only took you seven years to find me."
"Now, I have a few questions to ask you."
…
This time, Huo Shaoheng answered Gu Xiangwen's questions one by one.
Just like how Huo Shaoheng had told her the story of the submarine's owner, Gu Nianzhi listened to it again.
After Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar finished narrating their encounter, there was a long silence.
Gu Nianzhi thought that was it.
Thus, after the initial shock, she gradually calmed down. Her smart brain began to work, and she instantly thought of many suspicious points.
For example, her father said that their plane had been hijacked and forced to land on an island near the Cape of Good Hope. Why did he happen to be on his submarine?
Did his submarine just happen to be there, or did someone else drive it for him?
Also, were there no other staff on such a submarine?
Why were there only the corpses of his father, mother, and the four traitors?
Gu Nianzhi thought about it and was about to voice out these doubts when she heard Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar speak again after a moment of silence.
…
"Nianzhi, my baby, Mom and Dad's biggest regret was not being able to see you grow up. Now I realize that Mom and Dad really can't see you grow up. "
"But don't be afraid, baby. Daddy and Mommy are just leaving first. We will wait for you on the road to hell. We won't let you be alone."
"Nianzhi, I can't take it anymore. I really want to see you again, hug you, and kiss your cute little face."
"Nianzhi, I'm a scientist. I don't believe in the reincarnation of ghosts and gods, but at this moment, I'm willing to believe that if there really are ghosts and gods and reincarnation, please be my daughter again in your next life. A healthy daughter. Let me watch you grow up, get married, have children, and live a happy life as an ordinary person."
"Daddy and Mommy brought you into this world, but they didn't give you a healthy body. They made you suffer from genetic defects since you were young."
"It's Daddy's incompetence that I couldn't cure your illness. Daddy isn't a good father. Your bad temper is extremely cute in Daddy's eyes. Your mother always says that I spoil you, but I know that you're not bad-tempered. You're just not feeling well. You've already done very well. It's Daddy's fault. Daddy's incompetence and didn't cure your illness. "
"Daddy and Mommy are both gone, leaving my baby to face the world alone. Daddy and Mommy are very sad. But don't be afraid, and don't cry. "
"Do you still remember your favorite story about the Little Mermaid?"
"We didn't die. We were just like the Little Mermaid, turning into bubbles in the sea at dawn. When the bubbles dissipate and a rainbow appears on the horizon, it's us who came to see you. "
Then, with a ding sound, Gu Xiangwen's holographic avatar gradually blurred and finally disappeared completely.
Gu Nianzhi was completely unable to describe her current feelings with words.
These last words were actually said to her!!!
Her father, who had already passed away … was still thinking about her in the last moment of his life …
Gu Xiangwen's last words were completely out of her expectations.
It was as if she had never thought that she could have such deep fatherly love. She was completely stunned and couldn't react for a long time.
She could still analyze rationally just now, but now, all sobriety had left her.
Huo Shaoheng released his arm and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, but saw that there wasn't a single tear on her face.
However, her eyes were red, and her snow-white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, leaving a clear bloody mark.
"Nianzhi …" Huo Shaoheng was both distressed and worried. "Cry if you feel bad."
He didn't want her to suffer like this, so he chose to let her know now.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened, and she stubbornly muttered to herself, "… I won't cry … I won't cry … Daddy said baby don't cry …"
"Nianzhi! Cry! "Huo Shaoheng growled at her in a low voice.
If she couldn't vent the pain in her heart, it would cause a serious problem.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head mechanically. "I won't cry … Daddy told me not to cry …"
Her big eyes were empty and completely unfocused.
She turned her head to look in the direction of the door. Suddenly, with great strength, Gu Nianzhi turned around and pushed Huo Shaoheng away, then ran towards the door.
Huo Shaoheng had only left the door ajar and hadn't locked it, so Gu Nianzhi ran out just like that.
"Nianzhi! Where are you going? "Huo Shaoheng quickly chased after her.
Gu Nianzhi ran very fast, and her voice echoed in the submarine corridor.
"I'm going to find the rainbow!"
"My mom and dad … my mom and dad … are on the rainbow!"
She ran like crazy and rushed out of the submarine. She almost rolled down the escalator and fell to the ground. She immediately got up and continued running out.
Chen Lie was shocked and was about to order someone to stop her when Huo Shaoheng jumped out of the submarine.
He shook his head at them and chased after her alone.
He knew that Gu Nianzhi needed to vent, so he didn't let anyone stop her.
As a result, Gu Nianzhi ran out of the cave unimpeded.
She ran crazily along the beach, refusing to let anyone near her. She was like a little beast that had lost its mind. Not only did she hurt others, but she also hurt herself.
As she ran, she kept shouting at the dark sky until her voice was hoarse.
"Daddy, Mommy! Where are you? "
"Come out!"
"I'm Nianzhi … your Little Nianzhi …"
"Don't you want me anymore?"
"I … I've already grown up … I won't cause you any trouble … Come out …"
"I'll be very good, really very good …"
"I beg of you … I beg of you … Give me back my father and mother …"
"… give my parents back to me …"
The waves were noisy, but they couldn't drown out her voice.
The moon didn't seem to be able to bear to hear such a cry either. It pulled a dark cloud over to cover its figure.
She tried her best to hold back her tears. She really didn't cry.
But no matter how long she shouted, no one responded.
She ran on the beach. When she was tired, she walked a few steps and then started running again.
It seemed that as long as she ran forward, she would be able to see her parents in front of her.
She didn't dare to stop. She felt that if she stopped, her parents wouldn't be able to wait for her anymore.
But she ran all night, from the dead of night to the beginning of the morning. There was no sign of her parents anywhere.
Exhausted, she knelt down on the beach and looked straight in the direction where the sun was about to rise.
Huo Shaoheng had also followed her all night. Seeing her like this, he realized that she had suffered a greater blow than he had imagined.
She had screamed all night and ran all night, but she hadn't shed a single tear.
All her emotions were stuck in her heart.
Song Jinning also came over and said angrily to Huo Shaoheng, "Why didn't you go talk to her? How can she bear to let her run around for a night? "
As she spoke, she walked over and hugged Gu Nianzhi. Her heart ached as she said, "Good girl, I'm your mother. Come back with me."
Gu Nianzhi looked up at Song Jinning for a while and shook her head. "No, you're not my mother. I have my own parents. You're Major General Huo's mother. "
Fine, she was still coherent, but her mental state didn't seem to be normal.
Song Jinning was frightened. She held her hand and felt her forehead. She still had a low fever.
"Okay, okay, I'm not your mother. You have your own parents. Let's go back now, okay?" Song Jinning patiently coaxed Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head again and said seriously, "No, I haven't seen my parents yet. They made an appointment with me. I want to see them one last time and send them off one last time. "
"I can't stand them up and disappoint them."
Song Jinning nodded sadly. "Let's go see your parents. Come with me. I know where they are."
She wanted to take Gu Nianzhi to see the bodies of Gu Xiangwen and his wife.
Although Gu Nianzhi's words were clear and logical, she had actually fallen into a state of confusion.
She frowned and refused Song Jinning. "Don't try to lie to me. I know where my parents are."
Song Jinning was speechless.
Gu Nianzhi stretched out a slender finger and pointed to the sky. Her face was full of admiration. "They're over there, on the rainbow. I won't leave until I see them. "
Song Jinning sighed and walked back to Huo Shaoheng's side. "What should we do? Should we knock her out and take her away? "
Huo Shaoheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I have an idea, but I need your help with a small matter." As he spoke, he whispered a few words into Song Jinning's ear.
Song Jinning was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded and said, "I'll go calculate. The time of sunrise and the amount of rain have to be just right for it to succeed."
The two of them left the beach. Yin Shixiong and Xiao Ye took over from them to guard the surroundings and take care of Gu Nianzhi, who was already delirious.
Gu Nianzhi didn't cry. She knelt quietly on the beach.
She didn't say anything and waited stubbornly.
In front of her was the endless sea, and above her head was the vast blue sky.
Her slender and straight back looked so lonely and thin between the sea and the sky.
She didn't cry, but this scene was even more sad than wailing.
Yin Shixiong and Xiao Ye weren't emotional people, but at this moment, both of them had their backs to each other and quietly wiped away their tears.
Not long after, the shadow of the morning glow appeared on the surface of the sea. The sun was about to rise.
At that moment, the sky above their heads suddenly filled with dark clouds, but there was no thunder or lightning. A torrential downpour fell from the sky, drenching Gu Nianzhi, who was on the beach, as well as Yin Shixiong and Xiao Ye.
Both of them looked up at the sky at the same time, and were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
There was a plane in the clouds. Could it be that someone was making rain?!
The timing was perfect.
The heavy rain didn't last long, and soon it stopped. The rising sun happened to leap out of the sea at that moment, shedding thousands of rays of golden light.
At the end of the heavy rain, where the sun rose, a huge rainbow slowly appeared in the sky.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, seven colors overflowed.
Gu Nianzhi's entire body was wet. She looked up at the colorful rainbow and gradually smiled.
She reached out her hand, and the rainbow landed in her palm, as if she was holding it up.
The rainbow after the rain was like a bridge. She stood on one side, and her parents stood on the other.
She could almost see them smiling back at her, waving goodbye to her.
Gu Nianzhi gradually regained consciousness and woke up.
She knelt on the beach and looked up at the rainbow in the sky. She finally cried.
"Dad, Mom, just let me cry once …"
"I'm not disobedient … I'm just too sad …"
"I promise, I'll only cry for you this once …"
"You can punish me after I cry. You can punish me however you want …"
After saying that, she realized that her parents couldn't punish her anymore.
Whether she was obedient or disobedient, they couldn't punish her anymore.
This realization hit her heart like an arrow.
Gu Nianzhi sobbed softly, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was in pain and anxiety, and her shoulders trembled violently. She could barely kneel.
Just as she was about to collapse, Huo Shaoheng walked over.
He seemed to have just gotten off a plane and hadn't had time to change out of his flight suit.
