MMB Chapter 38 The Day of the Funeral
Chapter 38 The Day of the Funeral
The various benefits of the Anti-Union Association can be said to be very good, even the chef in charge of the cafeteria was not invited casually.
Except for the accident of Su Mu, the food in the cafeteria of the Anti-Union Association is actually very delicious, and there are a variety of special meals in various places.
Tang Yong'an ate the food that was so delicious that people could squint his eyes, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
It's that sense of loss.
Normally, Su Mu was around, and they forced themselves to eat it for the benefit of enhancing their "beam" ability. Now that Su Mu's window is temporarily closed, it really makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Senior Tang, why can't you eat? You must have been eating the dishes made by Senior Su for too long. There must be something wrong with your taste buds!" Bai Shui came out of nowhere.
"Do you have any magical ability to reduce the sense of existence? Why do you appear so silently every time?" Tang Yong'an couldn't help complaining.
"It's not my fault. It's because Senior Tang is always concentrating on other things, so he doesn't notice me." Bai Shui retorted.
"It stands to reason that this research institute is not far away. Why did Su Mu go and never come back? To be honest, I'm a little worried about him." The worry in Tang Yong'an's tone was obvious.
Seeing Tang Yongan's performance, Bai Shui felt a little emotional, and patted Tang Yongan's shoulder: "But, Senior Tang, Senior Su has only been gone for two days."
Tang Yongan: "Isn't two days long enough?"
Bai Shui: "... Alright senior, today is the funeral of the victim, maybe Senior Su will also come, of course, if he didn't come, and you are really worried, there are no tasks recently, wait for today's The funeral is over, we can also go to the research institute to visit the class together."
"I will come. After all, it is the funeral of the victim. We have been together for a long time as comrades-in-arms." After speaking, he felt that maybe Su Mu would not come. After all, the research institute and the Anti-Union Association are not far away, and Su Mu has been He never came to look for them, maybe he couldn't leave that mission at all.
"However, judging by the current situation, we might not be able to come here. I guess we still have to find him. But is the matter at the research institute so important? There is no time to return to the Anti-Federation Association. It is so important, then Can we still go in?" Tang Yongan was not sure, "Maybe we found something incredible in the ruins, if we go in, there won't be any problems."
Bai Shui: "...I'll go to the president of the association to apply first. If I pass, I'll definitely go." As for failing to pass, don't think too much about it, Su Mu's task is probably really unusual.
Tang Yong'an looked at him with contempt: "So you are drawing cakes for me in front of you!"
Bai Shui glanced at his head: "Eat quickly, Senior Tang, the funeral is about to begin."
After breakfast, the two went to the auditorium together.
In the auditorium, countless rectangular freezers were placed neatly, but Tang Yongan and Bai Shui both knew that not every freezer contained corpses, and more of them contained only relics.
Beiyao and others were sacrificed to the ruins, but there were no bones left.
In comparison, those who were killed by Mu Yunshu and Mu Yunshu himself could at least have a whole body.
Around the auditorium were sitting or standing countless people in black clothes, they were covered with white linen, and some had cuffs with the word "Mourning" printed on their arms.
Those are the families of the victims.
The reason why the funeral was held three days later was that the first three days were the time for the families of the victims to conduct their own funerals, and at the same time, it also allowed the Anti-Union Association to deal with a series of matters such as compensation as soon as possible.
Waiting for the funeral held by the families of the victims to finish, the Anti-Union Association will proceed collectively.
However, because their sacrifices were not normal deaths after all, the funerals held by family members were not allowed to take the corpses back, and everyone used their clothes to carry out.
For most of the families of the victims, there is no difference, because their families do not have remains.
Only a small number of family members of the victims can still see the remains of their own family members.
Everyone is also a reasonable person, and no one is desperate to take away the remains for a funeral, especially when the Anti-Union Association said that it will hold a collective funeral in three days, and bury all the victims in the grave according to the standards of martyrs.
Gradually, there were more and more people in the auditorium. Most of the people who were not family members could only gather around outside, even on the street. They spontaneously bought white chrysanthemums and placed them on the side of the road. Everyone in Lingbei City, They are sending them to rest in the ground.
The collective funeral of the Anti-Union Association only lasts for one day. In the morning, there are various links of sending wreaths and mourning speeches, and in the afternoon, all the victims are sent to the cemetery for burial.
"Excuse me, where is Mu Yunshu's body?"
Tang Yong'an and Bai Shui had just finished mourning, when they came out, they were met with someone asking.
The person who asked the question was a man who looked like a frail scholar. He nodded towards Tang Yongan and Bai Shui as a greeting.
Anyone who can enter the auditorium must at least be someone related to the victim. If this person asks this question, he should be a relative or friend of Mu Yunshu.
"The third one in the first row." Tang Yongan immediately came out.
"Thank you." After finishing speaking, the man was about to go over, holding a eulogy in his hand.
"Ah, let me ask, is there any relationship between you and Mu Yunshu?" Tang Yongan asked.
"It's his friend. He used to bring us to start a business." After the other party replied, he bowed and nodded, first pasted the eulogy, and then walked in the direction of Mu Yunshu.
Standing in front of Mu Yunshu's freezer, he couldn't see the expression on his face. He just stopped and watched for a long time before preparing to leave.
"Senior Tang, you seem to be paying attention to Mu Yunshu." Bai Shui was a little different, Tang Yong'an was able to report the location of Mu Yunshu's freezer in the first place.
"Strictly speaking, he was killed by me." Tang Yong'an lowered his eyes, "Besides, he, Bei Yao and others were also transformed into followers of the new mother of weirdness by her ability, so they betrayed human beings."
Tang Yong'an later thought about whether Mu Yunshu would be able to return to normal if Mu Yunshu hadn't died and the mother of the new weirdness had died.
Perhaps it was not his intention to betray humanity, he was just being manipulated.
But Tang Yongan also knows that if he is fine and regains consciousness, he is actually doomed to encounter misfortune. Their situation at that time was broadcast live by drones. Acknowledging that they are what they are because they are being manipulated by the weird.
But people who have lost their loved ones cannot be so rational. Even if they know that the group of awakened people who are being manipulated can only be said to be knives, and the real stabbing is weird, they can't help but vent their anger in their hearts. Stay resentful.
But now, because they are dead, the whole public opinion can be so calm.
Besides, if Mu Yunshu was a very good person, after regaining consciousness, knowing that he had killed so many people, it must be extremely painful.
Tang Yong'an couldn't help thinking about those things. This was his nature. He loved to make friends and was kind. Ever since Mu Yunshu was killed because of his good friend's ability, they had been involved by an invisible line of cause and effect.
"I thought Senior Tang had a big heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so easy to deceive. Logically speaking, shouldn't such a person have any troubles? I didn't expect that there would be such sentimental moments." Bai Shui said in surprise.
These words interrupted Tang Yongan's somewhat depressed mood.
"...Bai Shui!" Tang Yongan rubbed his fists, "You don't want to lend me something, do you?"
"That still won't work."
Because Tang Yong'an was interrupted, he forgot those messy thoughts before, and began to think about what Su Mu was doing now.
And Bai Shui's squinting smile stopped where Tang Yong'an couldn't see.
They have encountered this kind of thing before.
Comrades defected because their relatives were controlled and coerced by the enemy.
It was Bai Shui who killed that former comrade-in-arms.
He knew that there was no answer to Tang Yongan's doubts.
Because he once asked himself, if he found out in advance, would there be a chance to save the family members of his comrades-in-arms, and comrades-in-arms who were not checked and balanced, naturally they would not fight each other.
Or, if the senior management on their side can notice in advance and better protect their family, will nothing happen.
Everything will not come to the point where it cannot be changed in the end.
However, time will not go backwards, and there will be no answers to all of that.
"It seems that Su Mu really won't be able to come, not even at such an important time, the research institute must have discovered something truly extraordinary." Tang Yong'an said with emotion.
Bai Shui resumed his squinting smile: "Then I can only wait until the funeral is over. I will apply to the association president, but if it is really similar to what Senior Tang guessed, the application may not pass."
"Give it a try, it's not necessarily a good thing if you pass it." Tang Yongan became even more worried.
After all, if they can't walk an inch and they can go to visit the class, it means that the research institute has not discovered something, but that the research institute is in danger, and Su Mu and the awakened ones need to guard and protect it all the time.
That is obviously not good news. It would be better not to go, at least to prove that the research institute has produced some incredible research, which may be good for everyone.
Bai Shui: "Yes."
The mourning continued, with more and more wreaths, eulogies plastered on the walls and chrysanthemums adorning the auditorium.
It was almost noon.
Mu Yunshu seemed to have no relatives, and there were not many people who came to mourn him, they were all young people who looked about his age.
Although Tang Yong'an came out of the previous depression, he still couldn't help paying attention to the people who came to mourn Mu Yunshu, so he knew more or less about Mu Yunshu's situation.
Originally, Mu Yunshu's ability was to be shared by those who saw it, that is, to share part of other people's abilities. It seemed that there was a kind of person who would ask for a part of the money that others picked up on the road.
But in fact, after listening to his friends, he seems to be the one who picks up money.
And it's not that others ask him to have a share in the meeting, but that he will take the initiative to ask for it.
During the period of starting a business with his friends, he was very kind to everyone, and he would share some with everyone, but he would not ask for others.
This is somewhat similar to Tang Yongan.
His ability is that a good friend can forcibly borrow other people's things and not return them. It doesn't sound like a good friend, but a bad friend.
He sounds like a very charismatic person, and people will feel that following him, he will definitely not let everyone suffer.
Coupled with the vigilance he showed after being manipulated by the new mother of weirdness, and his proficiency in using abilities, it can be seen that he has a good mind when he has a good personality.
If it is a teammate, maybe it will be very reliable.
Tang Yong'an couldn't help thinking of this again.
A magical idea even popped into my head: "The mother of the new weirdness probably has a deep understanding. As a teammate, Mu Yunshu is very reliable."
