Chapter 266 Their country has truly become powerful! How wonderful!
Shen Yu looked at them, but wasn't angry.
He knew this was normal.
They died at the height of the Japanese army's arrogance; they couldn't believe that the Japanese devils would be defeated.
"I know you don't believe me," Shen Yu said calmly. "It's okay, I can prove it to you."
He stretched out his hand, and his spiritual energy circulated slightly.
A golden curtain of light rose from the water's surface.
The screen began playing a video.
The first scene shows Japan announcing its unconditional surrender, the Japanese Emperor's surrender proclamation, and the scene of signing the surrender document on a U.S. warship.
Then came the footage of the trial, where the war criminals were brought to court and sentenced to death.
Then, there was footage of the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the great leader announcing its establishment on Tiananmen Square.
Then came the present-day China, with its skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and prosperous prosperity.
People wear beautiful clothes, have smiles on their faces, and live happy and peaceful lives.
With a mighty army, soaring fighter jets, and aircraft carriers at sea, no one dares to bully us anymore.
Images flashed across the screen.
More than three thousand souls stared blankly at the light screen, at everything on the screen, completely mesmerized.
The Japanese devils have truly been defeated.
The new China was established.
Modern China is so powerful and prosperous.
People are living such good lives.
Is this... really true?
Some elderly people stared wide-eyed at the skyscrapers in the picture, unable to believe their eyes.
Some women looked at the girl in the picture wearing a pretty dress with envy in their eyes.
Some children looked at the amusement park in the picture with sparkling eyes, full of longing.
They died during a time of war, when they couldn't even get enough to eat.
They never imagined that decades later, China would become like this.
So good, so beautiful.
As they watched, some of the departed souls shed tears.
Although they are spirits and have no real tears, their emotions of sorrow and relief are clearly conveyed.
Their revenge was truly achieved.
Their country has truly become powerful.
so good.
……
The light curtain slowly disappeared.
The water was quiet and still.
All the departed souls bowed their heads, seemingly lost in thought.
The black aura surrounding them had mostly dissipated.
The resentment has also weakened considerably.
Shen Yu looked at them and continued:
"Look, China today is no longer the China that was once at the mercy of others."
"No one will dare to bully us anymore."
"The nation will not forget you, and the people will not forget you."
Shen Yu paused, then said:
"I've already spoken to the government."
"Afterwards, a monument will be built by this reservoir."
"Carve all your names on this monument."
"Generations of people will come here to worship you, to remember you, and to remember this history."
As soon as the words were spoken, all the departed souls raised their heads.
They looked at Shen Yu, their eyes filled with excitement and disbelief.
monument?
Engrav their names?
Will future generations remember them?
They... will not be forgotten?
Some of the departed souls trembled as they reached out, pointing to themselves, as if asking: Really? Will my name really be engraved on it?
"Really." Shen Yu nodded, his tone firm. "I mean what I say. The government has agreed, and construction on the monument will begin soon."
"Furthermore, the crimes of Chu Ergou, the traitor who brought Japanese people to massacre you back then, as well as the crimes of his grandson Chu Tianxiang, will all be made public."
"They will be forever nailed to the pillar of historical shame and cursed by people for generations to come."
"Your revenge will not only be fulfilled, but it will also be remembered by everyone."
boom--
Upon hearing this, all the departed souls became excited.
Traitor!
That Chu Ergou!
it's him!
If he hadn't brought the Japanese, they wouldn't have died!
They hated that traitor so much they gritted their teeth.
Now, not only have the Japanese devils been defeated, but the crimes of that traitor will also be made public and condemned by generations to come.
Great.
That's great.
The emotions of the departed souls grew increasingly agitated.
But this time, it wasn't anger, it wasn't resentment, but rather... a sense of relief.
The resentment that had been building up for decades seemed to find an outlet at this moment, and slowly dissipated.
Their figures became brighter and brighter, more and more transparent.
……
"That's about it," Shen Yu muttered to himself.
He knew the time had come.
These departed souls have let go of their hatred and are willing to leave.
Shen Yu raised his hands and gently formed a soul-soothing seal.
The movements are simple, yet they possess an indescribable rhythm.
Golden spiritual energy surged from his body, transforming into countless tiny specks of light, like stars in the sky, drifting towards each departed soul.
Golden light fell on the departed souls, warm and comforting.
The wounds on the dead slowly disappeared.
The pain and resentment on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by peace and tranquility.
Some of the elderly people straightened their backs and smiled.
Some women, whose babies stopped crying, started laughing.
Some young people lowered their clenched fists and relaxed.
All the departed souls bowed deeply in the direction of Shen Yu.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting us know the truth.
Thank you for allowing us to clear our name.
Thank you for letting us know that we have not been forgotten.
Then, hand in hand, they slowly transformed into transparent specks of light in the golden glow.
Little by little, it slowly rose into the sky.
Like countless stars, it twinkled, soaring higher and higher, until finally, it completely vanished into the sunlight.
All three thousand two hundred and seventeen souls have found peace.
……
At the very moment the last soul vanished.
An immense power silently surged from all directions, converging towards Shen Yu.
That is the power of merit.
The merit of saving the drinking water safety of millions of citizens.
The merit of praying for the salvation of the 3,217 victims.
Exposing the crimes of traitors and restoring historical truth is a meritorious act.
This is a meritorious act to seek justice for the twelve deceased and to comfort the victims' families.
Several immense streams of merit converged, flowing silently into Shen Yu's body like a warm current.
Lin Jianguo, Zhao Rui, and their family members and staff, who were a kilometer away, felt a gentle breeze, which felt comfortable and warm, as if something had gently brushed against their hearts.
The heaviness and oppression that had been weighing on my heart vanished instantly.
I felt much more relaxed.
"Strange, was there a gust of wind just now?" Zhao Rui scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"It seems so." Lin Jianguo nodded as well. "I feel... much more comfortable."
They didn't know that it was a faint aura emanating from the power of merit.
