[The distant golden stars shining in the night sky. I saw them in my dream last night, and they were the color of a bird.]

The girl's voice rang out across the plain. It was barely audible at first amid the noise, but gradually became clearer.

In the midst of an insect plague, people shouldn't have the intention to enjoy music, but the singing has a calming power that clearly lingers in everyone's ears.

Ling was also singing, but her mind gradually lifted up and became the vision of a certain existence. She overlooked the firefly plain, the TAC team, military vehicles, transport trucks, countless fireflies, and darkness.

The open wilderness.

Looking back, it doesn’t take too long. More than 20 years ago, this place was still a barren mountain and green space, and everything was a primitive ecology. Gradually, roads were developed in the mountains. The winding mountain road connected the mountains and forests with the city. The traffic brought people, and there were people in the surrounding area.

Residents, there is an endless stream of vehicles coming and going every day.

It is conceivable that with the gradual acceleration of urbanization, one day, this plain will disappear into ancient memories. And that time will not be too long ago.

Also disappearing are the firefly groups that depend on this plain. The name 'Firefly Plain' will also be replaced by the name of a road paved by future generations. No one will remember that there was once a large group of fireflies here.

hometown.

The line of sight continues to rise, moving into the clouds, and continues upward. The plains are no longer visible, and the sparks of human civilization in the darkness have replaced the dim light of fireflies. As far as the eye can see, it extends beyond the horizon. That is more

The vast, endless neon lights formed a long dragon, like a glass paradise, paved with spider webs, filling the entire field of vision.

Ling also suddenly had an illusion.

The fireflies' habits were changed by the Yabo people, and they engulfed other creatures in the plains. Little by little fireflies attacked humans crazily, like horrific natural disasters. But what about this firefly that belongs to humans?

Compared with the green fluorescence of those crazy fireflies, the light belonging to human civilization that occupies the field of vision is vaster. How many living beings have been swallowed up by human light? How many living creatures have been deprived of their homes? Perhaps that is a more terrifying natural disaster?<

/p>

However, there is no going back.

Having embarked on the journey of civilizational evolution, human beings can no longer return to the era of slash-and-burn farming. Individual human beings can return to the mountains and forests, throw away their mobile phones and electrical appliances to briefly enjoy the so-called pastoral life, just like what was written in "Walden Pond"

, everyone has that corner of desire in their heart, so "Walden" has become a famous work.

But human beings as a whole cannot stop. Billions of people around the world cannot leave everything behind and return to the mountains and forests. Once the pace of evolution starts, it cannot be stopped. Otherwise, we will only be destroyed, by monsters, cosmic beings, and even humans.

Destroy yourself.

From an elevated perspective, the earth can no longer be seen clearly, and the world has become a round sphere. In the endless dark universe, there is a lonely rotating blue sphere.

Beautiful, but lonely. This is the earth in Gaia's eyes. He never cares about individual humans, or even a certain biological group. His perspective, which stays outside the long river of time almost forever, is much more macroscopic, thousands of years, and tens of thousands of years.

Years are already the entire history of civilization to humans, but to Him it is just a moment.

Perhaps the five mass extinctions of life that the earth has experienced can leave some ripples and memories in his heart. Other than that, it doesn't matter to him whether humans or dinosaurs dominate the earth. Because the term "dominate the earth" originally

It's ridiculous. A huge sand castle built by the sea thinks that he is the king who rules everything, but nothing will be left after the big waves.

The earth was born 4.6 billion years ago. After the 800 million-year Hadean period, signs of life appeared on the earth as early as 3.8 billion years ago and entered the Paleozoic Era.

No one knows whether in the 3.8 billion years before humans appeared, there were any biological groups on earth that could be called civilized. But obviously, even if there had been one or more generations of civilized organisms, their evolutionary process had already

It failed. Nothing was left of the seaside sandcastle covered by the big waves. Even the ruins built with the most stable molecular structure may be able to stand for millions or tens of millions of years, but they cannot withstand billions of years or billions of years.

Time washes out.

Ling had never been so deeply confused as at this moment, wondering why Gaia would choose her. A great being who stood outside the long river of time, chose an inconspicuous little creature to be its spokesperson. The person who was talking to him at that time

Is it really Gaia?

Gaia should be more indifferent. How could it empathize with the joys, sorrows and joys of living creatures after watching everything in solitude for billions of years? But at that time, it was so humane.

Protect the earth on his behalf?

Ling also never thought that she was special. Rather than being flattered, she felt terrified. Was she really qualified to respond to Gaia's expectations and the expectations of human civilization?

Just like a few weeks ago, she used the photon ice blade to destroy the Helm Crab Super Beast. Until now, she has not regretted taking action at that time, but she has never been able to let go of her doubts about the Helm Crab's hatred of humans - even if it was controlled by the Yabo people.

The result, but the hatred is real.

She always stands on the human side, but she doesn’t know whether what she is doing is right for Gaia.

It's like letting a child hold the button to launch nuclear bombs around the world. Ling also thinks that she is the ignorant child. She doesn't know what the right choice is, and she doesn't know when to press the button.

.

At that time and that moment, the same as this.

There is no doubt that the fireflies are controlled by the Yabo people, but Ling also believes that the hatred for the fireflies is real. Attacking the passing vehicles and blocking the passage of the highway is indeed their original intention.

They hope that the Firefly Plains will return to the past, which is the home they depend on for survival. Human development has built roads, noisy sounds, and the exhaust of passing cars, smearing the place with human colors. Not only that, the pace of human development continues.

It will stop, maybe five years later, maybe ten years later, the Firefly Plains will be gone forever.

This group of fireflies will also lose the land they live on - something like this happens every moment in any corner of the world.

But what can she do?

Even if she could look at the earth from this perspective, she was not Gaia, just an ordinary earthling. A girl who looked nine years old but was actually a high school student. She had long known that Gaia would not

Intervening in her choice, just like He has never made any comments on how he uses the light of Gaia in these months.

And Ling is also a human being, so she can only make choices that favor humans. This kind of thing was determined from the beginning.

The fireflies stopped attacking during the song.

Ling is also singing, pouring her feelings into her singing. Language is a shortcut for human communication and a high-level code that only humans can master, but singing is the ultimate way of communication. Even a peasant woman in a remote rural area of ​​North America can

Hear whether the other person is sad or happy from the drumbeats of an African tribe on the other side of the world.

Singing is common not only between human beings but also among all living things. Singers are probably the first and perhaps the final way of communication for human beings.

[The distant silver moon shines in the night sky. I saw it in my dream last night, and it was the color of a wild rose.]

This is a real emotion that Lingya did not have when she sang to her music teacher before. She hopes that the fireflies can listen to this "Song of the Night" and at least get a moment of peace in this song.

This prayer was also watched and promised by Gaia.

Therefore, the fireflies are really quiet. The influence exerted by the Yabo people through unknown means has disappeared.

"It's so beautiful." On the hillside, Kuze, who arrived belatedly, murmured.

"Yes." Zhemu nodded in agreement. The flying fireflies were indeed a fairy tale scene - this was because he had missed the way the fireflies were eating people just now.

Kuze ignored Zaki, because they were not talking about the same thing.

The song that touches the soul, and the prayers that are answered. There is no more beautiful scene than this.

Kuze took out the Kagura bell and danced the Kagura dance on this grassland - not Reiya's radio gymnastics, but the real, ancient Kagura dance. A dance dedicated to please the gods who are willing to worship.<

/p>

Her long silver-blue hair flew with the movements of her body, and her bright eyes reflected the dazzling rays of the divine light that only she could see.

A witch is singing and a witch is dancing.

Singing is to calm anger and appease the creatures of the earth. Dancing is to worship gods and offer faith.

They are coincident and appropriately harmonious. Just like the age of mythology, Kagura dance can be traced back to its origin.

In his line of sight, he did see the dancing witch, and the fireflies all over the sky seemed to be dancing with her. But at the same time, Ling also saw in his line of sight, a sudden spot of light in the fireflies, and other lights.

Fireflies are out of place...

That’s not a creature of the earth!

Found it!

At the same time, an ominous voice echoed in the Firefly Plain——

[Super beast Hotalunga, no need to hide anymore, come out and stop the TAC team’s transportation plan!]

A small point of light that originally looked no different from an ordinary firefly, quickly grew in size under the Yabo people's voice, until it exceeded a height of forty meters.

That's a super beast. Firefly Super Beast Hotarunga.

"It's a super beast!" The super beast appeared, and Captain Long breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy had already revealed his identity, so there was nothing to say except the word "war".

"Everyone listens to the order, target the super beast, concentrate your firepower and start attacking!"

Everyone has been waiting for this moment.

The first person to fire was the individual rocket launcher carried on Konno's shoulder, and then Yoshimura and the TAC guns in the mountains were not to be outdone. But the real strong firepower came from those military vehicles of the National Defense Forces. For this transportation mission, the military vehicles of the National Defense Forces were equipped with

A large number of large-caliber weapons.

"Beidou, Nan, you two escort Ryoko to a safe place."

After the fireflies stopped attacking, Beidou immediately found Ryoko, took the mask off her face, and shot the mask to pieces. At this time, Ryoko had already passed out - Beidou didn't think it was his fault, he

It was just a few pulls with Ryoko. It was most likely because Captain Dragon threw her so hard just now.

"Understood!"

Beidou picked up Liangzi and made a gesture with Nanxizi.

Ace's ring had already flashed, and they were just trying to find an excuse to escape from others' sight. Captain Dragon's order came just in time.

However, it is indeed necessary to send Ryoko to a safe place. Captain Long’s order is not abrupt, it is very reasonable.
