029. The Inquisitor
I remember the rain falling on the grassnds like pearls, gently rolling, crystal clear.
"rade Drelov, I've been w for two years now, and I'm in good health. When will the General Affairs Bureau assign me a husband? I 't wait any longer."
I remember spring taking away a bit of the ess, then using warm and pleasant arms to gently embrae's shoulders.
"I'm sorry, rade Alexia, but the most suitable person for you hasn't been born in this era yet."
I remember children running barefoot and free uhe white clouds and blue sky. Oher side of the golde field was a friendly brown bear, living in harmony with nature and people.
"rade Alexia, would you like to participate in a wedding that transds time and space? To see the future world on our behalf."
I remember the great white swan lifting the space shuttle, sending heroes to the sky, their aspirations s, all aimed at the deep dark Star Abyss.
"Alexia..."
I remember—
"Alexia."
The man's call awakened Alexia from her dreams.
"Sorry, I got lost in thought." She offered a slight apology, but the man who called himself Li Aozi seemed to uand her emotions.
Li Aozi didn’t offer any f words, instead lightly patting his shoulder, then turo the young man beside him and said, "Let's go, this isn't the pce for versation."
She lowered her head, her mind bnk, her boots sinking into the soft soil. She turned her head to look at the heroes buried around her, whose tombstones had even been eroded.
Five hundred years is a long time for a try, but just a fleeting moment for this p.
What should I do?
Where should I go?
Where is my world, my home?
Alexia looked down at herself in her solemn uniform and suddenly said:
"I don’t seem to look like a bride about to walk into a wedding."
"You are who you are, Miss Alexia." Li Aozi waved his hand. "If you’re willing, e with me; maybe you’ll find your answer."
Alexia bit her lip. As Li Aozi raised his hand, ready to use gravity to move the Niobium Alloy coffin, Alexia walked over and casually pressed a few buttons. The coffin that had protected her for five hundred years began to rapidly transform, press, and fold. Under Barnum's shocked gaze, it finally turned into a very ordinary briefcase.
Alexia lightly gripped the metal box with both hands and was about to follow Li Aozi when she suddenly stopped. She turned her head, her gaze sweeping across the cemetery, and then said to Li Aozi:
" you wait for me a moment?"
Li Aozi nodded.
"Thank you."
Alexia gave him a grateful look, turned, and walked into the forest. After a while, she returned, holding a bouquet of flowers. She walked past Li Aozi and Barnum, pg the bouquets on the weathered, eroded tombstones.
"Lieutenant Alexey, thank you fhting against radiation until the st moment. Good night."
"I remember you, Major Ohalion Mahed. Your son and I attehe same middle school."
"Sergeant Yang Zihui, the mothernd has not fotten your heroic deeds."
"Firefighter Shi Ryoji, the nuclear ination did not spread."
She clearly spoke the names of everyone buried here and their deeds, even though Barnum, who wasn’t very profit in Yami Liyoko nguage, could guess what she was saying.
He turned his head. As a person of the new era from the Frost-Pted Republic, Barnum didn’t quite uand this behavior and asked in his native nguage, "It's been five hundred years; the bodies underground should have already deposed along with the coffins, right?"
Li Aozi raised a finger. Normally frivolous, he was solemn at this moment and softly said:
"Say nothing."
After pg the st bouquet of flowers, she looked at her own grave, silent, uo find peace for a long time.
Several seds ter, she raised her head and faced the cold light of the artificial sun, saying:
"The sun you’ve raised isn’t blinding at all."

——————————
Li Aozi closed Alexia’s attribute panel and gnced in the rearview mirror at the old-era Inquisitor sitting in the back seat. She leaned against the hover car’s door, her head turo look out the window.
The cold sunlight bathed her naturally smooth skin. Alexia’s eyes reflected the neon-lit streets, silent and expressionless.
This era must have deeply disappointed her. Not only has teology not advanced, but society has alsressed pared to five hundred years ago. On the curfewed streets, people scattered in all dires, with many taking advantage of the chaos to loot and ransack stores.
It was awful.
Even Barnum, the driver, felt embarrassed seeing this se from the past. He expined in Yami Liyoko nguage, "This is just a small try. The four nations are still very developed."
Alexia didn’t respond, as if her heart had died along with her homend.
A pure-hearted girl, filled with the hopes of her time and longing for the future, had e aloo a world five hundred years ter, only to see such a sight. She couldn’t find the words to say.
The atmosphere in the car pressive, but Li Aozi offered no expnations.
"Shouldn’t you fort her?" Barnum couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you her fiancé or something?"
"So what?"
