The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1949: Huh? Why is it you?

clatter! clatter! clatter!
Go up the stairs.

The dark edges were covered with mosses, and clusters of weeds sprouted from the cracked slate. The morning dew dotted the leaves, and under the morning light, they looked even more lush and green, like pearls and emeralds.

Quiet and peaceful!
When you reach the top of the mountain, half of the landscape is brilliant gold and the other half is lush green.

A golden sun was rising slowly from the horizon. It had just shown its head, but the rays of light had already shone onto the sky, dyeing the clouds golden in impatience.

It can be said that the sky is full of golden rays of light.

Beams of light pierce through the sky and clouds, illuminating the endless forest. Like an emerald green carpet, it stretches across the earth. From time to time, the chirping of insects and birds can be heard, echoing at dawn.

What a beautiful scenery.

Just looking at the beautiful scenery before our eyes, who would have thought that seven or eight years ago, this place was a mysterious and eerie place?

Aoki Sea of ​​Trees, Sukina Mysterious Mountain, Rainbow Magic Realm.
Their existence has given rise to countless strange legends here, and it has become a forbidden place that many normal people dare not approach.

Later, due to the great discovery of the Rainbow Magic Realm, this area was blocked by TPC, and a Future Research Center was built to observe and study this small world that existed in an alien space.

The Neomax power system, which is based on the theoretical development of the new Max system, was born here. It is said that its proposer, Dr. Kisaragi, got inspiration while studying the small world in the alien space, and thus integrated the theory of imaginary space into the Max power navigation method, resulting in the most important new navigation method in the new field era today - the Neomax power system.

But everything in the world has a beginning and an end.

This is also true for the alternate dimension. The Rainbow Magic Realm completely disappeared in the sixth year after losing its 'master'. Some experts and scholars also speculated that it was because of the death of Hilbagon that the anchor chain between this alternate dimension and the real world was left unmaintained and disconnected.

But no matter what the reason is, with the current understanding and research of human beings on time and space, it is impossible to find it, let alone connect to it. We can only watch helplessly as the 'Rainbow Magic Realm' disappears.

The once flourishing Future Research Center fell into decline, with staff gradually leaving. Those with some connections and abilities were transferred away, and the remaining people were basically guarding those instruments, only a few of which were updated, hoping that one day they would suddenly discover the 'Rainbow Magic Realm', or that one day they would be transferred away to a more promising place to study topics that would produce results.

Most people cannot endure long-term loneliness. Only those with strong will can stay together forever.

Like
Just like Jingtian Jinglong!
Qianye Cheng looked down at the sword in his hand that slayed demons and eliminated evil. Even though it had gone through thousands of years and hundreds of battles, its blade was still as bright as new. In the morning light, it reflected a bright glow, as if telling of its sharpness, and as if indicating that it was still capable of fighting.

just
Its owner is dead.

Completely disappear from this world and never appear again.

Nothing was left except the sword.

So Chiba Makoto brought the sword that slays demons back to Mount Sukuna, which had been guarded by Iida Iryuu for a thousand years. He climbed to the top of the mountain and buried the sword that slays demons at the highest point.

From here, you can overlook every corner of Mount Sukina;

Here, the first rays of sunlight in the morning will shine on it;
Here, there is peace and tranquility, no disturbance and no disputes;
Here, you can see the starry sky and feel the starlight from billions of light years away.

Resting here forever should have been Jingtian Jinglong's original wish.

After all, he had placed his soul in the bronze statue to guard against Su Nagui. At that time, he must have wanted to never wake up.

Because once he wakes up, it means that Su Nagui will also be revived.

It’s a pity that Jingtian Jinglong’s wish was not fulfilled, and he was even disturbed again and again. Even at the last moment of his life, he was still suppressing the resentful spirits.

But now, he can rest in peace. He doesn't need to think about the troubles in this world anymore, nor does he have to make painful decisions. He just needs to be quiet.

The last handful of dirt covered the sword, and the sword that slays demons and eliminates evil was completely buried underground.

There are no mounds or standing monuments.

It was buried so plainly.

This is probably fate, the fate of a demon hunter.

He slew demons and monsters in his lifetime with great fanfare;
After death, the body is covered with yellow earth, and life is plain and dull.

"Goodbye, Mr. Iida," Chiba Makoto looked down at the land at his feet that was different from the surrounding land, and said in a low voice: "I will always remember you.

You should be like me. You don’t like being known by many people, because the more people know, the more trouble it will cause. Not to mention being alive, you will have trouble sleeping even after death.

Because heroes have to protect others, and more importantly, they have to protect themselves and those around them.

Besides, what does it matter if it is known? In a few thousand years at most, it will become a thing of the past."

Back then, Jingtian Jinglong might have been revered and praised by the world for slaying demons and eliminating evil. His deeds were written into stories and widely circulated, but what about him now?

Except for a tattered volume of "Taiping Fengtu Ji", no one else knows of his existence or his story.

Time is the best way to forget. No matter how great a person is, he will gradually become ordinary as time goes by, and eventually be lost in the crowd.

How many people have left their names in history and passed down their reputations for generations to come?
Even if it is done, it will only be brought up when needed and forgotten afterwards.

Even though Tiga is admired by hundreds of millions of people now, one day in the future, he will become a story and a legend until he is unknown.

Not to mention other people, even Chiba Makoto himself could not remember most of his classmates from his school days. There were about three or four hundred classmates in total, but the number of people whose names he could still call out even when looking at photos could be counted on two hands.

Being forgotten is a pity, but being forgotten can sometimes be a blessing.

"When will I be able to be calm and peaceful?" Chiba Makoto said to himself, standing there for a long time.

It was not until the sun jumped up from the horizon and rose high that he started walking down the mountain.

The dead are gone, but the living are like this!
All we can do is to move forward.

We can only move forward.

The long river of time never stops and does not allow people to stay.

When we reached the foot of the mountain and looked back, we saw lush greenery everywhere. The trees, flowers and plants covered the mountains layer by layer. Only the top of the mountain was clearly visible, standing proudly in the sky.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—There is a saying that goes, you never know which will come first, the surprise or the accident.

Chiba Makoto had not yet returned to the city and was still driving forward in the forest when he received a call from Dagu.

After issuing the command, the in-vehicle intelligent program answered the call and projected the live image onto the front windshield through the head-up display.

I saw that Daiko and Lina were wearing very regular TPC uniforms, with a sky blue base color, black stripes on the shoulders, and white stripes around the waist.

This is also a kind of "unspoken" rule of TPC. The uniforms are unified and the base colors are also classified, but different departments can cover the base color with unique stripes. However, the total area cannot exceed one-tenth and cannot affect the TPC logo.

Probably no one in the Space Adventure Team has any artistic talent, including Maya, who only has singing talent. Not to mention knowing nothing about the garment industry, they can only thread a needle. Not to mention embroidery, they can't even sew buttons properly, so the uniforms of the Space Adventure Team use simple and contrasting black and white stripes.

Looks pretty featureless.

But, clothes also depend on the person.

The same clothes look different on different people.

Just like now, Dagu is wearing it like a school uniform, and Lina is wearing it, well, it's also the same as a school uniform.

But you'll get used to it.

Anyway, Chiba Makoto is used to it. He won't stay in the space adventure team forever anyway, so let future generations worry about the clothes.

"Aren't you guys going to pick people?" Qianye Cheng was driving the car attentively, looking ahead, and said casually: "Are they all picked?"

"Well, all the geniuses have been picked." Lina, who was squeezed next to Da Gu, spoke first. "There is a huge shortage of pilots, especially excellent pilots. Many departments have sent people to ZERO Flight Training School. Whenever they find a potential candidate, they immediately pay attention to him. Even before graduation, he has been contacted privately many times."

Lina pouted and looked very unhappy.

As a senior, the happiest thing is to discover a good seedling, and the saddest thing is that the good seedling is taken away by someone else.

"Then let's go to the West Asia branch. Vice Captain Munakata is running Zero's Second Flight School there. There must be a back door, and maybe we can even capture all the outstanding pilots at once." Chiba Makoto said as he turned the steering wheel and steered the car from a branch road that was slightly larger than a single lane to a two-way four-lane main road.

Then he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine hummed, and the car rushed out immediately, rushing forward like lightning, overtaking one car after another, driving at the speed of a race track on the road, leaving a series of exclamations behind.

In the original arrangement, Seiichi Munakata was to be the captain of the 'new' Victory Team, but unfortunately, before Chief Yoshitsugu stepped down, he pushed Kihiko Tsunesuke, whom he had high hopes for, to a new position.

So, the cooked 'captain' flew away, and Seiichi Sohō, who had already begun to organize a 'new' Victory Team, was transferred to the West Asia branch, served as the chief flight instructor, and was ordered to build the ZERO Flight School, also known as the Zero Branch.

This is also the result of taking too big a step. With the rapid development of the new territory era, TPC has built a large number of interstellar bases and space stations in just a few years.

But the universe is not peaceful yet, and there are always monsters roaming around. In order to protect the results of the New Territory Project, elite teams have been formed in all larger and more important interstellar bases and space stations. In addition to the drivers of space flights and astronauts going out for exploration, the demand for pilots has increased dramatically.

In order to fill the huge current and future gap in pilots and astronauts, TPC had to increase and speed up pilot training. One flight school was obviously not enough, so flight training schools were opened in each branch.

Zongfang is in charge of the largest branch school after Zero's main school, and has achieved certain results, having exported two batches of pilots.

"Of course you can, but." Dagu said with some hesitation: "That's not what I'm talking about on the phone."

"Then tell me what you want to say."

Chiba Makoto was chatting without delaying the journey. He slammed the steering wheel and quickly stepped on the brakes, causing the car tires to rub against the ground violently, making a sharp explosion and also making the car do a tailspin. It passed the sharp turn in a very rough manner and continued to speed along.

Chiba Cheng rarely races. He usually drives in a law-abiding manner. Not to mention speeding, he would not even run a red light at night when no one is around. But now.
He wanted to have some fun before reaching the city while there were fewer cars on the road.

However, Dagu was not aware of all this. Although the car was going fast, the TPC product was extremely stable and the sound insulation was also very good, so the sound could not be transmitted to the other end of the communication at all.

Not to mention that Da Gu was struggling at the moment, and said helplessly: "We just met a very talented pilot, he wants to join us."

"That's perfect. We need help right now. Since he's a genius, he must have good skills. He can team up with Fudo Ken, or go solo."

"But the problem is."

".He's been booked."

Dagu and Lina spoke in unison without any pause between sentences. If you closed your eyes and ignored the difference between male and female voices, you would think they were spoken by the same person.

"Who made the reservation? As long as it's not the police department, they should be able to give me some face."

"Super Victory Team!"

"Which one?"

Chiba Makoto immediately turned his head and focused part of his attention on the screen on the heads-up display.

"Super victory." Da Gu hadn't finished speaking when a young face suddenly squeezed in from the front, with a bright smile on his face, and said quickly: "Hello, my name is Asuka Shin, I want to join your space adventure team, may I?

Oh, by the way, my grades are excellent and I have passed the G2 level pilot's license assessment. Even for the main fighter jet Victory Condor, I have flown hundreds of hours on the simulator. I only need a little practice to be able to perform the mission.

What do you think? I’m pretty good, right? So can I join?
That's fine."

"."

creak!

The squealing sound of the tires almost penetrated the glass. Even though the quality was excellent, four long black marks were left on the ground. Even though the suspension was super strong, it still shook due to the sudden braking.

"Birds."

"Yes, my name is Asuka Shin. Have you heard of my name? Yes, I am so outstanding that there must be many people vying for me, but I still want to join you."

Asuka Shin, who squeezed in, kept talking, which made Daigu behind him look helpless, and Chiba Makoto's mouth twitched when he heard it.

Of course I know you are Asuka Shin and not Tsuru No. Otherwise, I would not have listened to you saying so much and I would have kicked you into the sea long ago.
