Arknights is too real, right?

The Palace Square was bustling with activity.

Along the way, Xia Feng saw many people.

He passed by these people without any communication or even eye contact.

He walked through the crowd and walked to a tree on the edge of the square.

At this time, a rough male voice came from beside him.

"Brother, do you want to buy cigarettes? Let's get a pack."

Hearing the sound and looking sideways, he saw a small stall set up under the shade of a tree. A man with a bald head and a horn was selling cigarettes from the stall to him with a smile.

Xia Feng asked expressionlessly as he squatted down next to the bald man's stall.

"As far as I know, private sale of cigarettes is prohibited."

The bald man glanced around a few times, then replied with a wicked smile.

"Hey, it's okay. I have a brother who is watching nearby. I have no choice but to take risks to make a living and earn a few small bucks."

"Are you short of money?"

"Hey, no matter how you put it, it's not really in short supply. It's just that my sister is graduating from the Royal College this year. In order to pay for her last semester's tuition, I, the older brother, have to work harder, okay? Brother, please support me by buying a pack of cigarettes."

Xia Feng glanced at this small stall that could be packed up and run away at any time.

"Do you usually sell contraband?"

Hearing Xia Feng's words, the bald man looked a little unhappy.

"What are you talking about? I've been short of money lately. Don't look down on people. Go to Happy City in the south and ask around. I, the bald Aguang, am the tyrant in the Kilt neighborhood."

"Is it."

"Believe it or not, hurry up and stop the ink stains. Do you want to buy it or not?"

"Sorry, I never smoke."

"Damn it, you've been talking to me for so long, you idiot."

At this moment, a tall, blond young man came to the stall and took out a banknote.

"Here's a pack of cigarettes. There's no need to look for them."

The bald man raised his head and exclaimed after seeing the man's appearance clearly.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Nan? Why are you here in the north? Are you here to accompany Boss Fredo?"

The blond young man frowned.

"Who are you?"

The one-horned bald man had a silly smile on his face.

"It's me. I'm Aguang from the Kilt neighborhood in Happy City. I work for Boss Rich to earn a living. Hehe, Brother Nan, you are such a noble person and forgetful about things."

"oh."

Nan Feng lit up a cigarette and had no intention of paying attention to this small character in his eyes.

At this time, a voice deliberately lowered the voice and shouted from the side.

"Brother Aguang, the military police are here, retreat quickly!"

"Holy shit."

Aguang quickly put away the stall.

"Brother Nan, please hang around for now. I'll leave. See you later."

After that, Aguang and his brother who were responsible for the lookout disappeared in a flash.

There were only two people left under the tree, Xia Feng and Nan Feng, but to Nan Feng, who was still the gold medal player of the Fredo Chamber of Commerce, the person next to him was just a stranger.

Pulling up his trouser legs, Nan Feng squatted next to Xia Feng with a natural arrogance, and subconsciously handed over the cigarette case.

"Brother, would you like to smoke one?"

"No, I don't know how to smoke."

"Once it's raw, it'll be ripe again. If you smoke it too much, it won't get better."

"Okay, then I'll smoke one."

This was originally a teasing joke, but I didn't expect that Xia Feng actually took out a cigarette from the cigarette box.

"Here, lighter."

"Thanks."

Under the trees outside the square, two "strangers" squatted side by side, smoking silently.

It can be seen that Xia Feng really doesn't know how to smoke, Nan Feng said with a slight smile.

"What's wrong, brother? Did something bad happen at home?"

"No."

"Then why don't you go to the palace? Princess Vina's wedding will start soon."

"There are too many people and I don't like the noise."

"Huh? Why don't you come if you don't like the noise?"

Xia Feng held a cigarette in his hand and stared at the ground with a calm expression.

"I just want to take a look at her from a distance and then leave."

Nanfeng was stunned.

"Who are you looking at? Princess?"

"kindness."

"Haha, listening to your tone, do you have a secret crush on Her Highness the Princess? Hahahaha, you are so funny. Give up. You can't compete with that prince Sami, hahahahahaha."

Nan Feng smiled heartlessly. When treating a stranger, he certainly had no obligation to consider other people's feelings.

However, when he noticed that Xia Feng didn't show any emotion from beginning to end, he gradually stopped laughing.

"Bata!"

Throwing the cigarette butt to the ground, Nanfeng patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Brother, be happy. There are no obstacles in this world that you can't overcome. Life is still long."

After Nan Feng left, Xia Feng squatted under the tree alone in a daze for a long time.

Until the sound of a radio came from the direction of the palace.

"Attention everyone, the grand royal wedding is about to begin. VIPs are asked to take their seats in the venue quickly, and people outside are not crowded."

Standing up from under the tree, Xia Feng cast his gaze in the direction of the palace.

————

The sun is shining brightly, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, this prosperous age is just as she wished.

In the square, Turtle was running happily with the windmill, Ifrit was eating snacks accompanied by Hemo and Ceria, and the two dogs were holding his mother and pushing forward in the crowd.

Aguang was still selling cigarettes quietly among the crowd, and Nanfeng also returned to Boss Fredo.

Under the palace, Bagpipe was still carefully supervising the work of the guards, and Mesa in military uniform was also ready to accompany the princess.

In addition, Xia Feng also saw Brother ACE, Doctor Kane, Nancy, the Three Wolf Brothers, Lapland, Shuangyue, Shuangxing, including Yinhui who kept a polite smile at the VIP table, and his face was so gloomy that he seemed to The murderous Yi Nanxue.

Looking back suddenly, he seemed to see Red Knife and Dark Crow sneaking around, as if they were avoiding the military police's investigation.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Yunye carrying the Qingyun Sword walking through the street with a purple-haired girl.

In this bright world without natural disasters and Origin Stones, these people don't know each other, because the ties that connect them to each other no longer exist from the beginning.

But so what.

In this bright world without despair, everyone seems to be living happily.

Standing under the tree, Xia Feng stared alone at the world that had been changed by his own hands.

Until finally, her figure appeared on the wall of the palace.

In sight, Weina was wearing a pure white wedding dress, holding hands with a tall and tall strange man, facing all the guests and people who came to bless them.

He could tell that Vina's face was not filled with happiness from the bottom of her heart, but a fake smile full of royal etiquette.

But so what, in this world without sadness and despair, as long as she is smiling, that is enough.

That's enough.

That's enough.

Is that enough?

The answer is yes, there is no need to doubt it. This is the bright world he got after giving up a switch. There is no room for doubt or regret.

But why, when he stared at Vina on the city wall, he felt so lonely inside.

On the city wall, Vina exchanged wedding rings with Sami's prince in the presence of the whole country.

"Princess Vina, be happy!"

"I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon!"

"May Victoria and Sami live in peace and prosperity forever!"

The preparations for the Royal Salute were completed, and following the instructions of Legion Commander Terege, 99 cannons symbolizing eternity were fired in unison.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang."

Facing the tsunami of blessings from the audience, Wei Na held her lover's arm, smiled and waved her thanks.

Suddenly, as if she noticed something inexplicable, she looked beyond the VIP seats and the onlookers to a place farther away.

She seemed to feel that someone was looking at her. Yes, hundreds of thousands of people were looking at her at this moment, but she just felt that there was something different about that gaze.

At this time, the voice of my lover came from beside me.

"Vina, what's wrong?"

Weina, who withdrew her gaze and didn't notice anything strange, shook her head thoughtfully.

"I don't know, I just feel like there is a special set of eyes looking at me."

The handsome prince shook her hand firmly and comforted her.

"You are so beautiful, there will definitely be many people who are envious, jealous, and hateful. Don't worry, maybe it's just a poor man who wants to eat swan meat."

After saying that, the prince gently embraced Vina in his arms in front of everyone.

The hustle and bustle behind him gradually faded away, and Xia Feng left the square alone.

Without stopping or looking back, he walked straight out of the city of Londinium.

It was as if he wanted to throw away all the past events that only he could remember.

Alone, walking alone.
