There Is No Afterlife

Olivia landed gently in front of Mugen, his left hand became a palm, he wanted to swing the mechanical head away, but at this moment, the lights in the room suddenly turned on.

Dazzled by the sudden strong light, Olivia had to retract her left hand and cover her eyes for a few seconds before he adjusted to such a bright environment.

Surprisingly, one after another, he heard someone speaking from outside the door.

"Duoduo, I changed you new clothes today!"

It was a female voice, young and energetic.

Then there was the sound of footsteps, and someone was busy running around in the corridor outside.

"Oli..." These voices were too loud, and Mugen heard them too, hugged Alpha tightly, and pointed in the direction of the door.

"Well, let's open the door and have a look." Olivia replied in a low voice.

The two teenagers then gently opened the door.

The room they are in now is the one from the beginning. Except for the lights that were not on, this room doesn't look any different from before. Even when they pushed the door, Olivia looked at it. Checked the door lock—as before, the door lock was still broken.

However, in this room, when they opened the door this time, what they saw was completely different!

"Wow..." Mugen was stunned. Although Olivia's expression was not obvious, he was obviously surprised.

They saw a brand new ship!

Instead of the rotten railings that fell down once they were touched, the wooden fences in front of them are brand new, exuding the fragrance of wood and the slightly pungent smell of anti-corrosion paint; the metal floor is also just welded and there is no scratch on it. , In order to protect such a beautiful floor, a woman was running back and forth on the deck, she was pushing a roll of red carpet, trying to cover every corner of the ship.

"Duoduo, do you like red?"

They heard the woman's voice again. The woman was crouching on a plywood not far from them, where the carpet seemed a little disobedient, and she was trying to flatten it.

Olivia's eyesight was very good, and he even saw that the woman's sweat was falling on the floor drop by drop, and the brand-new red carpet sucked in her sweat, and it was slightly crimson.

He saw her clearly, but she turned a blind eye to him.

She passed Olivia and Mugan like a gust of wind, still turning a blind eye.

Under the watchful eyes of Olivia and Mugan, she worked hard like a worker ant, filling the empty spaceship little by little by herself.

She painted all the wooden fences three times, she covered all the metal floors of the ship with carpet, she gave each room a purpose, and one person tinkled and made all the furniture in it, and waited until When she couldn't run, she would pull out her sewing machine, clunk on the pedals, and make beautiful curtains in every room.

Time passed as the woman improved the spacecraft day after day, the blue silk turned into white hair, and the wrinkles crept up between her brows and forehead.

She is old.

But the spaceship was finally born under her hands!

Together, Olivia and Mugan witnessed the miracle this woman created: Alone, out of nothing, she built an incredibly handsome spaceship!

This is not an ordinary spaceship, but a medium-sized spaceship that can accommodate at least 5,000 people!

"When you sail between the stars and the sea, it's like the blossoming white clouds in the starry sky, Duoduo, your name is Baiyun Duoduo!"

"You must be the most beautiful spaceship!"

On the day the spaceship was completed, the woman waved her crutches proudly.

However, she has been unable to drive the spaceship she built by herself to go out to sea.

"Ships are all going to sea; spaceships are born to go to the universe." She could no longer go to sea, but she had no objection to her ship leaving.

"So, say what you want!" Even if she became an old lady, even if she had to walk on crutches, she was still the proud lady she used to be.

Then Olivia and Mugan heard this second voice for the first time:

"I...want to be a pirate ship."

It's obviously a flat mechanical sound, but somehow there is a coquettish meaning in it.

After saying this sentence, Olivia and Mugan instantly shared the same expression as the lady: 囧! !

I remember when I was a kid I wanted to say I wanted to be a pirate, and Mengmeng burned all the books about pirates in the house - Olivia thought silently; if Sigma wanted to be a pirate...he would be spanked by Uncle Alpha - Mugan was sure thought, and he was sure he didn't want to be a pirate at all; after thinking about the situation on his side, the two of them waited with bated breath for the lady's decision.

The old lady, who is a combination of adjectives such as tenacity, vitality, and arrogance, raised her eyebrows from the moment she heard that sentence.

Her angry look was especially terrifying - Mugan, who had never seen an angry expression in a human, thought secretly.

She leaned on the cane tightly in both hands, and she leaned so hard that the blue veins on the back of her hands burst out, her face was ashen, Mugen thought, she would definitely say no.

Mugan had a vague idea in his heart, he thought, this mother-in-law must have loved the spaceship named Duoduo as her own child.

Since he was not born, he has made perfect plans for him, given him the most beautiful name, managed every detail for him, and everything shows that she loves him very much.

The shoulders that had been standing up suddenly collapsed, and this always strong woman finally showed her weak side that belongs to women.

"Okay, you go."

Completely contrary to Olivia and Mugan's imagination, this woman actually agreed with the ideal of the ship.

He often makes unreasonable requests like him, and feels that a ship that wants to be a pirate ship... It's stupid, Olivia thought to himself.

"Since you want to make a pirate ship, then make the best pirate ship! In the next time, I will re-paint a film for you. After painting it, others will not be able to see you easily."

The old lady smiled indulgently and entered Mugen carefully, but noticed a little bit of loss in the corner of the old man's eyes.

Yes, if you paint with invisible paint, then such a beautiful "white cloud" can't be noticed, right? Is such a beautiful name meaningless?

Between "wanting to show off her child" and "children's safety", the woman chose the latter without hesitation.

Then, in the following days, the woman really bent her back, which was no longer young, and brushed precious paint on the spaceship named "Duoduo" little by little. After this period of time, her back, which was no longer upright, was vaguely hunched.

However, when Duoduo chose her future partner and set sail, she still held her chest out and sent him out with pride.

At this moment, Mugen suddenly seemed to understand a feeling again.

Since he was not born, he has made perfect plans for him, given him the most beautiful name, and managed every detail for him. These all show love. However, for his ideal, he can overturn all his previous efforts. , what does this mean?

Mugen thought that the mother of the Baiyun Duoduo must love him very much.

Then, in the next picture, the woman is no longer there.

The ribbons were flying, the pirate flag was flying, and the Baiyun Duoduo became a veritable pirate ship. It wandered among the stars with the previously selected companions, and the Baiyun Duoduo was always the safest ship. The fleet's spaceships have changed a lot, only Baiyun Duoduo is a strong member of the team.

The Baiyun Duoduo, which has achieved the ideal, is very happy. Every room on the body is filled with his own companions. He is very satisfied to carry everyone on adventures and travel together every day.

There is only one dissatisfaction: the sea of ​​stars is too big, and Duoduo has not returned home once since going to sea.

Although I applied to return home five times, I was rejected each time for various reasons.

He became a ship with homesickness.

Then-

Then came the day when the long journey came to an end.

The two galaxies intertwined and collided, and the pirate fleet that happened to pass by also became one of the affected members.

The Baiyun Duoduo looks very big on land, but it is so small among the stars. The unparalleled stealth ability is invisible in the impact of the stars, and the Baiyun Duoduo is finally hit.

The engine compartment is broken, but the stealth ability remains the same. For the first time, the Baiyun Duoduo, which was known as the last position in the past, was disliked due to its stealth ability.

Unable to navigate, unable to send distress signals, undetectable.

To stay on this ship is to die—a phrase that became the perception of everyone on the ship.

Everyone eventually left.

All the valuables were taken away, all the food was taken away, they packed everything, but no one thought of the Baiyun Duoduo as the spacecraft itself.

Lonely floating among the stardust, the white clouds have become the legendary ghost ship.

In the past 100 years, before Olivia and Mugan, people have discovered this mysterious spaceship several times. They boarded the ship curiously and found that it was not worth the money they imagined, and then left boringly.

There were also attempts to take the entire ship, but nothing happened.

The body of Baiyun Duoduo floated in the universe as a spacecraft, and the head rolled to a more difficult to find place in the turbulence.

Every time someone enters the spaceship by mistake, it is an opportunity for him. He uses the phantom countless times to attract people, but no one has ever noticed him.

The rust crept up his brain little by little, Duoduo's remaining energy was getting less and less, and his time was getting less and less.

Sooner or later, this ship will be taken to an unknown place by the torrent of the universe and lose its navigation system. Baiyun Duoduo has already lost its ability to locate, but he knows that he is now farther and farther from home.
