Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 119 When You Said Back, We Were the Same Age
When Cooper and Brandt returned to the Eternity, what they saw was that Romilly was no longer what he used to be, and his beard and thinning hair had begun to be taken over by white.

"I've been waiting for you for many years." Thanks to Tas's presence, Romilly, who still had a communication partner, did not lose his ability to speak.

Cooper looked at Romilly guiltily: "How many years have you been waiting?"

"It should be... 23 years, 4 months and 8 days..." Romilly said flatly, and he noticed that there was one person missing: "Where is Doyle?"

Cooper didn't answer, but stepped through the airlock and walked towards his bed.

Little Brand thought of Doyle, his eyes were red again, and he said in a crying voice: "I thought I was ready...I am proficient in theory...but the facts are completely different..."

"What about Miller?" The long-term loneliness seemed to have weakened Romilly's feelings. Even though his teammates were killed, he didn't show too much sadness.

Little Brand folded his arms and did not answer directly: "There is nothing we are looking for on that planet."

Going forward and looking at Romilly, who had aged a lot, Little Brand asked distressedly, "Why don't you sleep?"

"I have hibernated several times, and I thought you would never come back." Romilly said, "I feel that it is too wasteful to spend my life and time sleeping, so I have been studying black holes."

"But I can't pass the information on to your father. We can only receive it, but we can't send it out." Romily felt very regretful.

Little Brand asked, "Is he still alive?"

"Of course, he's still alive." Romilly said, "Really, I've saved all the information over the years, go and have a look."

[More than 23 years... Countless ordinary people don't have a clear concept of this number. Only some older ones recall the clearer youthful years in their memory. Since then, they have been reminiscing like a lantern until now. , in order to understand how long this is.

And Romilly, alone, has been waiting for his companions who don't know if they will come back at an unknown distance from the earth for more than 20 years.

Many people thought of what the pink-haired murderer did when they were looking at the inventory yesterday. He hid his biological mother under the dark floor. I don’t know how long it took, but one thing is certain, even if the eyes can already see the light , even though she was only a little bit away from being rescued, she was as unresponsive as a corpse.

Loneliness does not make blood flow.

But it will make people feel ashamed.

In the interstellar world, Cooper looked at Tas next to him gratefully. If he did not leave Tas behind in the future, what would happen to Romilly who has no one to communicate with is simply unimaginable.

"At least, we won't make the same mistake a second time." In the clean room, Romilly said relaxedly. He hadn't experienced it himself, and as a person, he couldn't imagine what kind of pain it would be.

But if you can, don't go through it.

For the four people in this clean room, the inventory video can really be said to be a lifesaver, especially for Doyle who really died in the inventory, let alone this planet is worthless. I will go again; even if I go now, I can have some experience and know how to deal with it, so that I won't panic like in the video, and then lose my life in the reality that is too far from the plan.

In a certain historical world, Bai Juyi looked at the gift from Liu Yuxi in his hand and sighed. At this time, both he and Liu Yuxi had returned to Luoyang. , I thought it was enough mixed feelings.

But now seeing this Kunlun slave living alone for 23 years, he suddenly felt that the difficulties he had experienced were nothing.

Looking up to the sky and laughing a few times, Bai Juyi cheered up, left the place where he was staying, and walked into the crowd. 】

Sitting in his seat, Cooper clicked on the communication data that had been cached for 23 years.

Taking a deep breath, Cooper looked at the screen nervously.

"Hi, Dad." Tom on the screen changed and became more mature, his voice was a little deeper: "I graduated, and my grade was No. Got me a C grade and lowered the average, so I'm... No. 2 is actually pretty good, right?"

Cooper looked at his slightly proud son on the screen, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled.

Good boy, you proved the son of a bitch teacher wrong.

"Grandpa came to the graduation ceremony...uh...um..." Tom was a little embarrassed: "I met another girl...if I can't think of anything unexpected, she will become your daughter-in-law... Her name is Lu Louise."

Passing the group photo to the camera, Tom's face was full of regret, but the happiness in his tone couldn't be hidden: "This is a photo of her, she is very beautiful, right, this stubborn little girl Murphy said we are a good match. "

Tom couldn't see that his father 23 years later was in tears, gritting his teeth to keep himself from crying, and despite the uninterrupted tears, he had to see everything displayed on the screen clearly.

But Tom did a good job as a bridge of communication: "Speaking of Murphy...Murphy stole grandpa's car...then the car crashed, but don't worry, nothing happened to her, after all, she hit the tractor as soon as she started it On it, the airbags didn’t explode.”

Cooper knew that he had missed the most important time in the children's lives. Murphy was now in his thirties, and she might even have children of her own. Tom and Murphy's graduation...wedding... ...without being there, the corn crop may have failed...did the tractor break down...did Donald break something recklessly...

Missed so many things...

"Hi, Dad." On the screen, Tom, who just graduated, was replaced by a somewhat fat and vicissitudes man. Cooper didn't recognize it for a while, and it took him a while to confirm that this was the grown-up Tom.

"You're a grandpa!" On the screen, Tom hugged a ignorant baby and said with pride on his face: "We named him Jesse, I wanted him to be Cooper, but Louise said this The name can be kept for the next child..."

Handing the baby to his wife Louise, Tom told little Jessie to say goodbye to the cameras.

On the other side of the screen, Cooper, who wiped away the tears on his face, subconsciously waved to the video, as if this was an instant video call.

"Sorry, I haven't sent you a message for a while." The video is automatically broadcast. Compared with showing his son, Tom, who has experienced a lot of vicissitudes, looks at the camera alone, wanting to see his father in the starry sky through this camera: " Because... because of Jessie..."

A few seconds ago, the child’s joy was still captured in the video. Cooper didn’t know how long he had been on the earth, but all the 23 years of video had accumulated together, and Cooper had a feeling of time and space confusion.

A few seconds ago...was the joy of a newborn...now...the condition of the earth is so bad that newborns are prone to die...

"Grandpa passed away last week..." The vicissitudes of Tom on the screen had endless melancholy on his brows: "We buried him in the wasteland behind the farm... with his mother... and Jesse …Jesse’s place is actually reserved for you.”

Cooper has stopped crying, and countless emotions are suffocating in his heart. It is difficult to say what mood he is in now.

"Murphy came to grandpa's funeral...Although we haven't seen each other very much these years, she still came..." Tom stared blankly at the camera, turned his head and sighed: "I know you can't actually see These...all these messages...just floating in the darkness...Louis said...I have to put you down."

Looking up at the camera, Tom's eyes were full of confusion, but after he was silent for a while, most of the confusion had dissipated: "I also think I should let you go. I don't know where you are, Dad, but I hope you Goodbye...bye."

The screen went off and everything came to an abrupt end.

Cooper subconsciously reached out, thinking that there was something else, but the video sent by his son for more than [-] years had already been played.

[Interstellar World, Little Brand, Doyle, and Romily looked at Cooper, who was crying like in the video, worriedly.

Graduation, dating, marriage, childbirth... bereavement, bereavement...

Every node, for anyone, is crucial, but Cooper is not there.

They have prepared everything, including their hearts, to find hope, because they have nothing to worry about. Even Little Brand participated in Operation Lazarus with the support of his father.

But not Cooper.

If 'they' hadn't found him, he would have lived a very happy middle-aged life, with the only spiritual shock, perhaps only his grandson dying early due to desertification and air quality degradation.

For a while, they had this idea in their hearts: If they still need to go, why not let him stay on the earth, just the three of us.At least, there is no need to go to the most terrifying planet. 】

The video cuts off abruptly, the desperation that Cooper has never felt so alone.

It didn't take long for the screen to turn off, and a strange woman appeared on the screen.

"Hi, Dad." It was very different from Murphy when he was a child. The grown-up Murphy seemed to have never woken up, and he had never seen her as a teenager. If it weren't for that call, Cooper would really I couldn't recognize that it was my daughter.

"Hi, Murphy..." Cooper called to the strange woman on the screen with a voice that was hard for him to hear.

"You bastard." Murphy's first words after greeting were not very gentle, but Cooper couldn't control his tears and expression again, and once again wept while laughing.

"When you got the news, I didn't speak, that's because I was still angry about your leaving." Murphy in the video was a little thin and looked very haggard: "But when you lost the news, I felt It’s all on my own.”

The screen on the Eternal is not high-definition, and in order for the information to be sent over such a long distance, the video itself cannot be too large.

But even so, on the unclear screen, it can be seen that Murphy's eyes are red: "Today is my birthday, and this birthday is very special, because when you left..."

Cooper covered his mouth, his lips trembling.

Murphy on the screen opened his mouth several times, but couldn't speak: "Because you said when you left, we will be the same age when you come back."

Murphy on the screen couldn't see Cooper who couldn't hold back his tears: "Now I have reached the age when you left, so it stands to reason that now is the time for you to come back..."

But you don't.

Murphy didn't say this, but her heartbroken eyes had already told everyone about her sadness.
