A great battle outside the Sigma District had claimed many lives.
But a person's death had never truly marked their end. Only being forgotten did.
The stories of those who had died would continue.
Over the past two days, the busiest affairs within the Safe Zone had been mourning rites and funerals.
Among families with top-tier Sequence Ability Users, nearly half were dressed in mourning, casting a pall of grief over the entire Safe Zone.
Many people were invited to countless funerals, repeatedly witnessing the anguish of those who had lost their loved ones.
Qin Siyang, for instance, had been invited to the funerals of Gu Weiyang, Chu Xiaoang, Guan Fuhai, Ulit, Xu Wenju, and several other university principals, researchers, and merchants' association presidents, all at once.
Even with a Drill Pod, he could not be in several places at once. He could only attend a few and ask others to convey his apologies for the rest.
For Guan Fuhai's funeral, he sent Yu Yongyou and Wang Xugong to pay their respects on his behalf.
For Ulit's funeral, he sent Hu Chan and Yu Ziying to pay their respects on his behalf.
He did not know Xu Wenju, the principal of Eastern Revival University, very well, but Zhao Longfei seemed to have been on good terms with him, so he asked Principal Zhao to attend on his behalf.
The only funerals he absolutely had to attend himself were Gu Weiyang's and Chu Xiaoang's.
And, of course, Lu Daoxing's.
But Lu Daoxing had no family, had nominally become a Guardian of the World-Destroying Church, and had forbidden anyone from building him a grave or burying him. Naturally, there could be no large funeral for him.
Qin Siyang planned to set up a memorial tablet for Professor Lu in the Miracle Building
