Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

Snap

....

With a knock on the door, Chen outside pushed the door in, carrying some supplements purchased on the ship, as well as a bouquet of flowers wishing recovery.

It was something she had never done before.

"I won't disturb your meeting, Rhode Island still has things I need to deal with, if you have any needs, or questions, Wen Yue, you can contact the Rhode Island Commissioner through the channel I gave you."

Kelsey walked to the door and said to Wen Yue.

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Kelsey."

Wen Yue said quite politely.

"Chen... Go ahead, talk to them, there must be a lot of talk between you.

Kelsey said one last word to Chen, then pushed open the door and left.

"Yes, Dr. Kelsey."

Chen nodded lightly and watched Kelsey leave.

“...... Here you are, Hui Jie.

Wei Yanwu half-sat up and said to Chen, his tone still a little weak.

Snap.

Chen came to Wei Yanwu's side, put down the flowers and tonics in his hand, and... The one she took with her, the highest tactical terminal of the Dragon Gate, Wei Yanwu used it to transfer the position of the Supreme Archon of the Dragon Gate to Chen.

"Uncle... This one is returned to you.

She spoke, but she didn't know where to start her first sentence, and finally... Just said such a sentence.

Chen returned the highest tactical terminal of the dragon gate to Wei Yanwu, and the true meaning of this action, whether it was Wei Yanwu or Wen Yue, was clear in his heart.

"No, it's your stuff now, don't shirk your responsibilities, Hui Jie, now, the dragon gate is on your shoulders."

Wei Yanwu shook his head and said to Chen.

"Although I do want to make Longmen have a better life, I know that my jin two, that position, I am not qualified to sit now."

Chen insisted on saying this, she paused, and then spoke:

"Uncle, why... To hide from me... You are a mutant, if you tell me... I..."

Wei Yanwu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied,

"Tell you... Yes, I can even reveal my mutant identity now, whether it is Gerry or Sick Tiger, whether it is a rich area or a slum.

"It's just... At that time, there were too many variables, Chen, I didn't dare to tell anyone, I didn't feel fear or shame because of my mutant identity, but this identity was inconvenient, too much.

"Longmen is my everything, for this I can only endure, I am not sad that I have an illness, but feel that time is urgent, and I hope to lead Longmen to a better future in my limited time."

Chen let out a soft breath and said to Wei Yanwu,

"... I take back my previous words, maybe there are some places where I really don't have the right to evaluate you, and people in different positions may really have no room to make their own decisions.

Wei Yanwu nodded lightly and said to Chen:

"Chen, this is your growth, I am very happy."

Chen responded:

"... This kind of growth is indeed painful, but maybe this is a necessary stage in life, uncle, the dragon gate is still waiting for you, those under your command... The black cloaks were already on fire in a hurry.

"And, uncle... I also need your guidance on the next step in my swordsmanship after I recover... I found out that I was still... Too weak.

"After this incident, the mobile city of Longmen will become more sensitive than ever, and every move will provoke the nerves of the high-level officials of various countries... So I'm going to get stronger.

However, Wei Yanwu shook his head.

"Hui Jie, I can't teach you swordsmanship in the future."

Wei Yanwu said to Chen:

"I actually went to Chernoberg and was ready to die."

"It's just... Oh, it seems that God has not yet taken my life.

Chen said to Wei

Yanwu, "Uncle..."

Wei Yanwu shook his head and said,

"Chen, from now on,

you will be your own teacher."

"In the final analysis, all moves are transformed by the will of the person wielding the sword, and you may be able to walk your own path."

"The Sword of the Broken Pawn is a sword style that I created in a battle with the will to see death as if it were home in a desperate situation."

"And the other sword styles of Chixiao's sword technique are also crystallized by the path of generations of Chixiao's sword masters, whether it is Cloud Crack, Dragon Cry, Ziwei, and Fallen Dragon, they are all treasures passed down by them."

"These are the paths that I and the previous generations have walked, I teach you, Hui Jie, you are the most talented child I have ever seen, stepping on our footprints, you will definitely learn."

Chen was a little eager to speak, she felt a little sorry for Wei Yanwu, but she didn't know how to speak.

"I'm sorry, uncle."

She finally spoke, still a little stubborn:

"But... I don't think you did the right thing in the slum before..." She

thought that she would be reprimanded by Wei Yanwu just like before, but this time Chen found that Wei Yanwu in front of her seemed to have aged a lot overnight and became an ordinary dragon old man.

"You're right, Chen... Perhaps, at that time, I still have a better option than to let them die.

"I apologize to you, Hui Jie."

Wei Yanwu said to Chen, but this made Chen a little at a loss.

"Look outside, Huijie."

Wei Yanwu pointed his finger at the window outside, and Chen's vision extended.

"

At the moment, the path of Rhode Island is on the border between Usas and Longmen, and from the window of Wei Yanwu's ward, you can see a forest of steles made of large and small stones.

“...... According to this time, if it is a normal dragon gate, it will drive through this area in about thirty hours.

Wei Yanwu said to Chen.

Chen didn't speak, waiting for Wei Yanwu's follow-up.

"Because of that forest of steles, where Tallula's father is buried... And your mother.

Chen bit his lip, but did not speak.

"They end up ... Not buried in the city they loved, no, your mother's words, should be love and hate for that city.

"I will never forget the view here, Hui Jie, just when I see these little stone tablets, I think of them, my sister, brothers who are not related by blood but are better than blood."

"They are buried here."

"The tomb cabinet is too small to accommodate their enthusiasm; The words were too soft to express their remorse.

Chen looked at the forest of steles full of wind and sand, and said to Wei Yanwu,

"So... Is that a nameless tomb?

Wei Yanwu said:

"Yes, nameless tombs, these stone tablets are engraved with words, even if they are deep, they will be weathered in less than three days, erasing all traces, probably the wind also understands that the name may only have meaning to the living."

"—In this land, burial is only an idealized statement, because all graves will eventually disappear, and no one can sleep quietly forever."

"In the event of a natural disaster, in the event of a war, whether it is a meteorite or a crater, it is enough to shatter the decaying bones underground, and when a city disappears, the dead buried in the city will also be wiped out."

"As for the countless settlements in the vast wasteland, the descendants of every settlement I have heard of have not been able to find the burial place of their ancestors."

"There is a funeral ... It is called the cemetery road, and a part of the route of the mobile city is set as a cemetery, and the relics of the deceased are thrown to that road, and the cycle of driving through is regarded as a kind of mourning and respect.

"I am too forgetful, I have too many things that are easy to forget, and there are too many things that I want to die forgot, but I dare not forget them, forget this small forest of monuments."

Chen quietly listened to Wei Yanwu and said that she had never experienced such sincere emotions from Wei Yanwu so much catharsis at once, and finally she said to Wei Yanwu:

"The cemetery... Maternal...... Tomb.

Wei Yanwu continued:

"Your mother does not have much affection for you, this is Kosice's vicious trick, but it is also a sin created by me, in order to protect her, I had to let him marry the Minister of the Yan Kingdom, I should have done better."

"And this time I met Kosice again, and as I thought, he lived in Tallula, at least dozens of times more evil than when I met him decades ago."

"I just want to say that if Longmen must sacrifice alone, this person must be me, and it can only be me, and if one day I also die, Chen, trouble you to bury me in that forest of steles."

"I just hope that in a few years, when you wear the coat of an archon and the dragon gate drives there, you can remember that there is a man named Wei Yanwu, who is buried here..."

Chen shook his head vigorously and said,

"Okay, the past things, let it pass."

"Uncle, the archon of the Dragon Gate is still you, but please promise me not to let the Dragon Gate ... Turned into a slaughterhouse.

Wei Yanwu said,

"I will never again."

At this time, Wen Yue seemed to hear something and said, "

Xiao Chen, your tone... Are you leaving the Dragon Gate?

Chen said to Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue,

"I'm just... To find my own way.

At the same time, he took out the badge next to his Guards Bureau medal from the inner lining and placed it in front of Wei Yanwu's eyes:

"... I'm now a guard operator in Rhode Island, and here... Whether it is knowledge or other observations, I need to learn urgently.

"I will leave the dragon gate for the time being and enrich myself."

Wei Yanwu did not affirm or object, but was silent.

"Uncle, I'm going to find Tallula... I have a lot of things... If you want to ask her, I will bring her to you.

Chen seemed to be preoccupied, and after a few words to Wei Yanwu a little uncomfortably, he pushed the door and left.

"Tallullah, she..."

Wei Yanwu wanted to open his mouth to stop Chen, but was said in advance by Wen Yue:

"Dr. Kelsey said that Tallulah has returned to normal."

Wen Yue said to Wei Yanwu

, "But it's you,

you look like you're a big realization... It's not as bad as before, and if I want to guess the reason, I guess there is only one. "

“...... Because of Xiao Chen.

"Now the conditions have changed, right?"

Wei Yanwu replied,

"The mutants of the Dragon Gate belong only to the Dragon Gate."

Wen Yue said to

Wei Yanwu, "So Xiao Chen..." Wei

Yanwu replied,

"Chen Huijie... She has her own path, and she is now... Like me back then, walking on the blade of Chixiao's sword... But this way, she must... You have to go, you have to finish.

Wen Yue said to Wei Yanwu,

"Do you visit her often?"

Wei Yanwu was silent for a moment and said, "

I... Alas, although Chen returned the position of Dragon Gate Archon to me, but this position, I really can't sit for long, Wen Yue, I have ... Tired. "

But since I am still the archon of the Dragon Gate, and there is Da Yan behind me, I can't and won't have much to do with a mutant organization anymore."

Wen Yue chuckled and said, "

Hmph, petty."

"Then I'm going."

Wei Yanwu was silent for a moment and said, "

Then... Just please.

Wen Yue seemed to have thought of something and said,

"Although Xiao Chen chose to join Rhode Island, but... Wei, are we going to consider putting Xiao Chen in the Sword Sect for the time being?

Wei Yanwu pondered for a moment and said,

"It's still not necessary, even if you look at the entire Dayan, maybe only those two have escaped the world now, and every move affects the luck of Dayan, so don't bother them."

"To be honest, I didn't expect Hui Jie to reach the heights of those two, there... It was so lonely, if it weren't for the two who had different philosophies and fought until now, they would have drowned in loneliness.

Wen Yue nodded and said, "

You're right, Wei, we just hope that Xiao Chen and Xiao Ta can live healthy and happy."

Wei Yanwu thought for a moment and asked,

"What about my old guys?"

Wen Yue said:

"They were all waiting for you around Rhode Island, and they wanted to support you, but at that time the situation of Chernoberg... According to their report, it's like... God War.

Wei Yanwu was silent for a moment and said, "

Those old guys who informed me are waiting for me at the Dragon Gate, and Wen Yue, please contact the doctor, we need a speeding boat, we are about to leave, and I have to deal with the big and small affairs of the Dragon Gate."

Wen Yue nodded, and Wei Yanwu finally chose to continue to work and do his best for Dayan.

"Before that, let's go see the little tower one last time... I'll bring her back to meet you with Hui Jie.

Wen Yue finally said to Wei Yanwu and stepped out the door.
