The author has something to say: the first short story, I hope everyone will give you more opinions, bow

The new era is 2026 AD.

The internal war among humans more than 2000 years ago ended with the extinction of the old humans, and humans finally established a global political power, which is no longer a loose federation, and the member states are fighting against each other.

At the beginning of the new era, the earth's environment deteriorated severely, and many old creatures were basically extinct.At the same time, batches of new organisms adapted to the harsh environment were also born, which brought the earth's environment back to a delicate balance.

The global war and the development of the new humanity for more than 2000 years have almost wiped out all traces of the existence of the old humanity, and the few artifacts of the old humanity that occasionally appear will become treasures that are snapped up in major auction houses in a blink of an eye.

Among these large and small auction houses, the "Castle" auction house is the most mysterious one.

First, its origin is mysterious, and there are many rumors about the origin of the "castle" like confetti.Some said that it was a remnant of the private property of a famous family of old humans. Some speculated that the mysterious person who never showed up was related to the unknown forces behind the global conference. Others said that the "castle" was a new In order to commemorate the lover who passed away in the war, the ancestors of mankind specially designed and built it to imitate the residence of the lover, and so on, etc., but no one took it seriously.

Second, its location is mysterious, not to mention the exact location, no one can even tell which continent it is in.Even the nobles who received the invitation letter will go to the designated location and wait for someone to pick them up.

Third, there are powerful mysterious forces behind it.For thousands of years, there have always been some curious cats who tried their best but couldn't find out a thing or two. Instead, they all suffered misfortune until they died, as if they had been subjected to a head-bending technique.In addition, even though the Global Alliance strictly prohibits the sale of ancient cultural relics, the "castle" has been prosperous for thousands of years.

Fourth, the rules are mysterious, from traffickers to pawns to high-ranking officials and nobles can only enter the "castle" after receiving an invitation letter.In addition, "Castle" only opens four times a year, and each opening is only based on sunrise and sunset.If it is cloudy and rainy, canceling the auction is very capricious.

However, even if the "castle" is very mysterious, it still cannot resist people's crazy pursuit of it.Every lucky person who returns from the auction house always praises the ancient style of the auction house and the very valuable items. It seems that the air around the auction house is much fresher than other places.

When receiving the invitation letter, you will also receive a special ring, which contains the relevant information of the lot and the conditions for winning the auction. In addition, you can put the lot in the ring for storage.

And this auction is because of an oil painting of a portrait of a teenager in the old era, which attracted the VIPs to gather at the door and wait excitedly for the moment of sunrise.

A person dressed in the European-style aristocratic costumes of old humans hovered over the auction house, skipping the landing aircraft, looking at the distant horizon, and kept opening the notebook in his hand, muttering to himself.The two waiters behind him stood quietly on both sides, appearing more calm and composed.

The distinguished guests below were gossiping about whether that person was the mysterious owner of the "castle", only to hear a strange rumbling and stamping sound coming from behind.It was an old-style carriage, and its whole body was made of nanmu, which was only available in the old times. The lines of the whole body were smooth and gorgeous. The most astonishing thing was that this carriage was actually pulled by real horses.There is no driver in front of the car, but the four tall horses walk in unison, like a program that can run on its own.

Now everyone didn't care whether the people above the auction house were the owners of the "castle". They formed concentric circles with the carriage as the center, waiting intently for the carriage owner's appearance.

The car door opened, and a young man jumped out first. The young man was dressed in complicated and gorgeous clothes, but everyone couldn't take their eyes off his face.Short blond curly hair, amber eyes, and a smile on his face that even warmed up the cold sunshine.The next man who came down did not have the outstanding appearance of the boy.He was tall but not muscular, with black hair and dark eyes, and a stern expression. He was wearing a dark yellow cloak, which seemed to be shining faintly in the sun.

The manager dressed in aristocratic attire finally waited for two people to arrive, got off the aircraft immediately, bowed respectfully to the two, and then took out the imitation sandalwood box containing two rings from his bosom, and read with a smile the The prepared line, "Two young masters, please follow me." This is the title of nobles in the old days that he found out from the only surviving ancient books according to the master's instructions.

After hearing this, the boy was stunned for a while, and smiled at the manager.But the man ignored the manager's overtures, and put a cloak on the boy on his own.He knelt on one knee, put on a bow tie, and looked solemn and reverent.After doing everything well, he pulled up the young man, passed the manager and walked forward.

The man kept his face cold, showing no emotion, but the young man beside him felt that the strength in his hand was much stronger than usual, and he only thought the man's rare jealous expression was cute and special, but the manager who stood by and nodded desperately had already turned pale , hastily handed the box to the two waiters behind him, and let the two quickly follow, before returning to the office with stilted steps, not even wiping the cold sweat off his face in time.

The manager couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the murderous look in the man's eyes.

Heart said, it's good to be alive.

The waiter led the two of them to the well-prepared box. Compared with the auction hall, the decoration in this box is more attentive.The room is not big, only two old-fashioned armchairs, a small table half the length of an arm, and two treasure pavilions on both sides, whichever one of the above is placed in front of the eyes of the world will definitely arouse crazy pursuit.Not to mention all kinds of treasures, the carved tables and chairs are enough to make people admire the heritage of the "castle", not to mention the strings of wooden beads of the same size hanging in front of the window. People leaning on the side seem to be able to smell the faint fragrance.

The young man didn't show much appreciation for the decoration of the room. Instead, he leaned on the railing and lifted the bead curtain to look curiously at the huge venue below.

As if satisfied, he put down the bead curtain in his hand, took the time to open his left hand wearing the ring, and clicked on the "Auction Items" column.

"Experimental manuscript, starting price: 5 kilograms of garnet. Flat gold ring, starting price: SGD 20. A set of silver-plated tableware, starting price: water tank agate [-] kilograms..." Compared with other auction houses, "Castle "The unsold rate is very high.In addition to the reason for the high starting price, it is also because the starting price can only be bartered with the goods specified by it.And a large number of gems rely more on the extensive network of auctioneers.In addition, "Castle" is unwilling to accept any credit, and all transactions must be completed during the auction.This is the main reason why it is difficult to buy what you like no matter how powerful you are.

"A pair of oil paintings and portraits. The starting price: one billion Singapore dollars. In conversion, the price of the last lot is more than twice the price of all the previous lots combined."

"Even if it's three times or four times more, it's worth it." The man said, his voice was as cold as his appearance.

"Why is this, young master?"

Hearing the young man's deliberate teasing, the man didn't speak, but brushed aside the broken hair on his forehead, and leaned forward slightly to kiss the young man's forehead, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

At this time, the host finally came belatedly and announced the official start of the auction.

"I believe everyone has seen our first lot. This is the manuscript of the experiment unearthed by the archaeological team in Yuanming Mountain some time ago. It has been proved that the characters in it are confirmed to be the hieroglyphs of a certain country of old humans..."

But obviously, for the teenagers, the words of the man Furui Wubo are more attractive than the host's appetizing and fascinating legends.

"Painting is naturally good, but the person who draws this painting is important."

A long time ago, there was a castle with a crystal coffin in which lay a sleeping young man.He has snow-white skin, golden curly hair, long and dense eyelashes, and he is as beautiful as an angel.

But his eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know what kind of beautiful color the pupils were.The bloodless lips gave him a fragile and illusory beauty, like a beautiful glass doll, who only dared to hide and watch from a distance, for fear that any overstepping move would shatter him to pieces.

This is the boy's first encounter with youth.

The young man fell asleep for a long, long time, and only woke up slowly when the malevolent spell could not withstand the ravages of time.

The young man opened his eyes, with dazed amber pupils, groped along the wall of the crystal coffin with his hands, and slowly sat up while supporting the crystal coffin.Hearing the cheering voices around him, he raised his head and looked at the people in front of him.

They were wearing white coats and glasses, and their faces that had been expressionless all year round finally had some joy, and they didn't even notice the young people's out-of-focus eyes.

The young man raised his hands and got closer and closer to his eyes, but those amber eyes were still out of focus.Xu Shi suddenly realized something, the young man looked towards the door behind him, where the boy who had been squeezed into the corner was standing at the door, ready to leave.The young man immediately got up and groped out of the crystal coffin. Before taking two steps, he tripped over the raised steps under his feet and fell hard to the ground.

He was blind.

When the boy saw the young man again, the young man was drawing with a drawing book.No, to be precise, it can only be regarded as a child's graffiti.

Xu Shi felt the boy's curious eyes, the young man raised his head, opened his amber eyes in a daze, pointed slightly at the towering roof and the colorful flowers in the painting and said with a smile, "This is my grandma's house. "

The boy pursed his lips and said nothing.

The young man turned a page, pointed to a blank space, and said, "This is a flower garden, and all the red roses that grandma likes best are planted."

The boy remained silent.He didn't understand what the "grandmother", "flower garden" and "rose" referred to by the young man.

He also didn't understand why the young man could smile so nicely when talking about these things, even his dim amber eyes sparkled.

"There are some, and there are some small flower buds. Some like to huddle together and turn into a red ball, while some are far away, very arrogant. When I was young, I liked to go to the flower garden after it rained. There are shiny water droplets on the flowers and leaves, and it would be even more beautiful if there are spider webs that the maids missed. But grandma never allows me to go there alone, he is always worried that I will ruin his flowers." The young man paused. After a pause, he raised his head slightly, as if recalling something funny, he actually laughed out loud, "However, I was very naughty at the time, and I always picked one or two secretly while the maids and sisters were not paying attention, although I would pick them every time." Was punished by grandma for copying the Bible. Tell me, how does a blind old woman know something that even the wise maid didn't notice?"

"By the way, my name is Matthew, how about you?"

Matthew, a gift from God.

The boy thought he should hate youth.

Because when the young man woke up, they all laughed. Although they were somewhat disappointed when they found out that the young man was blind, it was much better than when they faced him. Even the data in their hands was more important than him.

"You, don't you have a name?" The young man frowned slightly.

The boy thought for a while, and was hesitating whether to tell the young man the name his father often used to call him. The young man rubbed the boy's head, gently stamped his pale lips on the boy's forehead, and settled on his name with a smile, " install".

The boy stared blankly at the young man. He saw his own dazed reflection in the amber eyes of the young man. He didn't expect the young man to kiss his forehead.

The forehead was warm, and the soft touch seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, even the boy's breath was warm.

"An, I will be your brother from now on, let me take care of you, okay?"

The boy didn't understand what the "brother" and "care" were in the youth's mouth.

He also didn't understand that when talking about these things, the slight frown on the young man's face would make him feel tight in his chest, and even the beating of his heart hurt a little.

But before the boy could answer, he saw the "father" in a white coat not far away nodding at him, motioning him to hurry over and follow.

The boy hurriedly got up and left. When he was about to walk out of the door, he turned his head and glanced at the young man. The young man still opened his big amber eyes blankly, looking in the direction where the boy disappeared, as if he was waiting for the boy's answer.

Seeing the light in the young man's eyes gradually dimming, the boy's heart no longer hurts, but he was just depressed.

The boy lived in a cave with his "father" before, and later his father brought him to this "castle". Except for a different environment, the boy's life was no different. He woke up and fell asleep, no matter how uncomfortable his body was. Feel good.

But this time, he huddled in a corner and couldn't sleep.When facing the youth, my heart hurts, but after leaving the youth, my heart is empty again, as if something is missing.

The boy who has always slept well experienced insomnia for the first time, and the endless waiting in the darkness finally ended when groups of men in white appeared.

The boy felt that he was a little jealous of the young man, and he often followed the young man. Although he knew that the young man couldn't see him, he still stubbornly refused to show himself in front of the young man.

Until that day, he involuntarily walked to the youth, in order to see the paintings in the youth's painting book clearly.

The boy didn't understand, the young man couldn't see it, why he could smile so warmly at these cold instruments, but unfortunately, the young man found the trace and gave him a name.

After that day, the boy did not come to see the young man for a long time, and he vaguely understood that his heartache was caused by the young man.Later, when he thought of the young man's kiss again, he felt another feeling.

Thinking of that soft touch, the boy felt that his heart began to lose control, his body temperature rose rapidly, and then his whole body was in a dream-like situation.

That day, the boy didn't hide behind the door, he went straight to the young man, frowning, the emotion in his eyes was dim, he didn't know whether he was looking at the young man's painting or the young man.

"An?" Xu Shi felt someone's gaze, and the young man raised his head and stretched out his hand tentatively.

The boy squatted down slightly, and touched the young man's small palm with his face.The young man's hands are also fragrant, soft and cool.

"Ann! Ann! Is that you?"

The boy nodded, letting the young man's weak breath hit his face.

Seeing that it was a boy, the young man smiled slightly, knelt down and groped for the painting book that fell aside, and said, "Look, this is my home."

The lines are a bit messy, but it can still be seen that it is a small manor. Unlike the previous deep purple castle, the color of this manor is brighter and more friendly, with some childishness that can only be found in teenagers and refreshing.

"It's my home. You can live in my house in the future and treat me as a family member." Although the young man's amber eyes were facing the direction where the boy was standing, they still couldn't focus.

It is obviously the brightest color, but it doesn't have the slightest look.

The boy raised his head from the painting, and the hesitation in his eyes disappeared.He imitated the young man's movements, rubbed the young man's head, and gently kissed the young man's forehead.The voice was hoarse, and the beautiful and fragile figure of the young man was reflected in his eyes. He did not respond to the young man, half promising and half swearing, "You will see."

Afterwards, the young man never saw the boy again, and even the connection with the boy disappeared, as if the boy had been completely erased.Not long after, the young man fell into a deep sleep again, but this time he didn't sleep peacefully for a long time, and when he woke up, there was no darkness in front of his eyes.

It was as if God really received the boy's prayer and gave the young man a pair of eyes.

The young man blinked his eyes and finally got used to the strong light around him, but he still didn't notice the figure who had been hiding behind the door.

install!

install! !

install! ! !

The young man opened his black eyes, searching and searching among them who were wearing white coats.

No one pays attention to young people, they always focus on the data in their hands.

"If no one is willing to bid, I will announce that the last lot is unsold. Is there anyone else? Very good. A total of four lots in the 6098 auctions have found their predestined partners. Next, there will be special personnel to communicate with these few. As for the other nobles, please enjoy the dance specially prepared by the 'Castle' for you, and after the dance is over, you will be sent away by someone."

The "Castle" auction house not only imitated the old times in terms of architecture and decoration style, and auction process, but even held a dance party after the auction.

It's just that the nobles in the box don't seem to care about the next dance at all.

"That boy named Ann, dead?"

This is what the manager heard when he was standing outside the box and was about to knock on the door.However, he immediately calmed down and reminded, "Master, the dance will start soon, should we go down now?" Respectful and polite, even if no one appreciates it, every move of the manager seems to have been measured with a ruler of.

There was no trace of the cold sweat on his back an hour ago.

After hearing this, the man smiled slightly, bent slightly, handed out his right hand like a teenager, and asked, "Excuse me, do I have the honor to invite you to dance? My Highness."

The boy took the man's hand and followed behind the manager, while whispering to the man beside him, "Did Matthew find Ann?"

The man led the boy to the center of the hall, led the boy, and slowly started dancing to the music of the old era.

"Actually, boys and young people are just one of their many experimental subjects."

At that time, there was still a period of time before the emergence of new humans. The global nuclear war 500 years ago broke the boundaries of countries but really destroyed the earth.The earth's environment is out of balance and becoming less and less suitable for living organisms.

The backward technology of the old humans can't do anything about it.

Then, some people did the opposite. They thought that since the environment cannot be changed, why not change human beings to adapt to the bad environment.

Some people say that this is a fairy tale, but some people respond positively and agree that this is the only way out for human beings.

In any case, the world government at that time had no way out. I wonder if it was because of the mentality of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but a majority of people in the Congress agreed with this "Eden" plan.

Although it is called "Eden", their purpose is to create "Adam" and "Eve" adapted to "hell", like Lucifer who led the angels into hell.

Experimental subjects range from plants, animals, and even humans themselves.

Some of them often use their own clones as experimental subjects, and the boy is one of the few survivors.

The boy does not need to eat every day. He falls asleep when he is hungry, and he is not hungry when he wakes up.Or he passed out from pain during the experiment, and when he woke up, there were at most a few bloodstains on his body.

These people headed by "father" are the main force of the "Eden" project. After years of human experiments, "No. 14" was born.But the good luck of the "Garden of Eden" project ended here. The "No. 14" live experiment has not been smooth, and all living creatures injected with "No. 14" turned into monsters without exception.And if left alone, this degenerate mutation will continue forever.

Human beings have a kind of obsession or madness to live, so there is no need to be too harsh on nature.

Since in vivo experiments are not possible, some people suggest that you might as well try using corpses.

Since "Number 14" does have the effect of activating cells and speeding up cell evolution as the man said, isn't it also possible to activate corpse cells and revive corpses?

Soon the "Castle" project was officially launched, and "Father" and his party were also asked to enter the "Castle" to join the "Castle" project as an assistant.

Compared with the "Garden of Eden" project, strictly speaking, the experiments in the "Castle" are not about transforming humans, but more like resurrecting humans.

In theory, they believe that some corpses contain some special substances, and these substances can inhibit the adverse effects of "14".

The young man was the corpse they got from a lonely European nobleman. There were many such corpses at that time, but not many of them gradually recovered their physical functions or even woke up. The young man was the only experimental product among them who recovered their sanity.

The first one who noticed the young man woke up was the boy who had been lying beside the young man's crystal coffin.

They are very happy that the "Castle" project has finally improved, and some important figures can be accounted for, and at the same time, the imminent funding problem of the laboratory has been solved.

But soon, they discovered that the situation was still not optimistic.The youth is not a perfect evolutionary body. Not only is he blind, but his physical fitness is weaker than ordinary people, and this situation is constantly deteriorating.

But they are still deceiving their ears and stealing the bell, pinning their hopes on this only successful product.

Because this is bringing the dead back to life!This is something only God can do!Since Drug No. 14 can revive youth cells, perhaps it is only a matter of time before eye cells and other bodily functions are revived.

However, it is clear that "Number 14" no longer has any effect on the living cells in the young man's body when he wakes up.In addition, I don't know if it was because of the injection of "No. 14" before, the young man was actually immune to "No. 14". In other words, "No. 14" could no longer activate the cells in the young man's body.

With the passage of time, the youth's eyes showed no signs of recovery.

However, handing over such a failed experimental body would obviously not satisfy the people above.At this time, they noticed that the clone called "No. 14" by the man, the eye problem can be solved only by an eye replacement operation. As for the physical problem, it is enough to be covered up by the perfect resurrection of the young man.After that, it is only necessary to dispose of the "No. 14" clone as a failed experiment.After all, the "Number 14" clone is nothing more than a leftover from the failed "Eden" project.

"This, this...why are the old humans...too much, actually..." The man led the boy to the side sofa and sat down, patted the back of the boy trembling with anger, and called to the waiter standing beside him to bring it. With a glass of fruit wine, he comforted, "It's okay, it's just a story."

The boy's hands on his knees were clenched into fists, as if he was a witness to the story, unable to control himself for a long time.He took a deep breath and asked, "What happened next?"

The man took the fruit wine brought by the waiter, and signaled the manager who came to wait for a while, "Boy, or the clone of "No. 14" is not dead."

The boy was not dead, as far as he was concerned, he had just had another long sleep.

He opened his eyes, and in front of him was not the expected darkness, but the cave he was familiar with.Except for some blurred vision, there is no big problem with seeing things.The boy was not surprised that he could still see this, for him it was just another "healing of the wound".

The boy accepts eye-changing not only because he is used to accepting instructions from his "father", but also because he thinks the youth's paintings are too bad. He wants to know what the "home" in the youth's heart is like.

Thinking of youth, the boy felt a tightness in his chest, closed his eyes, and tried to sleep again.

"dong dong dong"

Hearing familiar footsteps with his right ear attached to the ground, the boy took a deep breath, relieved the boredom in his heart, and stood up while leaning on the wall.No need to look at the person, the boy could hear and know that the person was his father whom he had seen growing up since he was a child.

The man in the white coat nodded at the boy with his unshaven chin and turned into the darkness behind him.As usual, the boy immediately followed the man's footsteps, not daring to speak much.

The boy didn't know why a man could always find his sleeping place, just like he didn't know why every time he approached the young man, the blind young man could always look in the direction where he was hiding, as if he had some special sensing device on his body .

Walking out of this cave and turning another corner, the space in front of you is finally much wider.This space is not far from the decoration inside the "castle".Although the boy lived in the cave for many years, the men never allowed him to come here, so this was his first time here.

The boy shuttled among a bunch of instruments. He was used to seeing these cold things, but he had never seen the monsters in the instruments.

In those containers, monsters killed each other one by one, and what was left in the end, apart from the bitten flesh and blood in the pool of blood, were a few bigger monsters that had been holding on to the transparent containers.But the strange thing is that these monsters can still be seen screaming with their mouths open from a distance, but as soon as the boy approached, the monsters immediately hid in the corner on the other side of the container.They really looked like they were trembling now.

Regarding this, the man looked at him coldly, as if he didn't see it, and didn't say much.Then, he instructed the boy to sit on a chair beside him, fetched the needle, and stuck it into the boy's arm.

The blood flowed out of the body along the tube, and the boy's bloodless face became extremely pale again, but his expression was still cold. Even when he saw the man injecting his blood into the throat of the living creature, the living creature turned into The biting and howling monster, the emotion on this man-like face still remained unchanged.

In the days that followed, the boy's blood was drawn every day, but not much. I don't know if it was used to feed the surviving monsters or for experiments.

The boy didn't understand why the man let him into the laboratory, let him see that his blood could turn living things into monsters, and let him see that monsters feared and coveted his blood, as if to remind him of something.

Those monsters would not be quiet until they were full, or when they smelled his blood.No, to be precise, those monsters didn't have the extra energy to howl after they were full, but they lowered their heads and backed away slowly when they smelled his blood, more like they were afraid of his blood.But after one night, the blood there disappeared completely, unlike the blood left by the monsters after fighting, which would slowly turn into black blood clots.

He doesn't understand.

There are always so many things that he can't figure out, but he doesn't care. Thinking about it, there will be many more things that he doesn't understand. If he has to figure out all of them, his head will hurt.

Just like those monsters, they obviously became monsters only after drinking his blood, but they are both afraid and longing for his blood, which is an emotion that the boy doesn't understand.

After staying with the monster for a long time, the boy gradually became able to distinguish the difference between howls.

"Hiss" means full.

"Wow" is the start.

"Ho Ho" means to walk away.

"Ho Ho Ho Ho" is a signal to attack.

Living in the cave, the boy no longer fell asleep because of hunger. More often, he would sleep on a chair when his blood was drawn.The days of falling asleep passed quickly, and the boy didn't know how long it had passed.

One day he discovered that the monsters were not so ugly anymore, they began to become petite, or regain their original size.It is no longer always grabbing the container, and it has no strong interest in biting its prey.Many can go all day without eating live animals just by licking the boy's blood.

The most amazing thing is that the boys think they seem to understand human language.Every time the man spoke to other people in white coats, the eyes of these monsters would roll, but when they turned around, they resumed their roaring nature.

The boy didn't like the eyes of the monsters.

And this will always remind him of the amber eyes of the young man, very beautiful and clean.

Later, what happened, the man burned everything in the cave, including people and monsters.

The boy had never seen fire before, and the flashing yellow was like the color of the eyes of a young man, and it was very warm when it was close, like a kiss left on the forehead by a young man.

Desiring it, getting close to it, will naturally be burned by the fire, no wonder the people and monsters around are screaming.

The man had already sealed all the openings, and the boy tried to escape, but it was too late.

The boy was in so much pain, and his breathing was so painful, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't move, so he could only continue to be in pain, even the monster's roar gradually became quieter.

At this time, he remembered that the man once said to him, hate human beings, go hate human beings, and destroy everything.

When the boy woke up again, he was also awakened by pain, but this pain was nothing compared to the burning fire.The sound of the car door closing behind him, the boy shook his head, like every time he woke up, there was no wound on his body.When he turned his head, he could only see the dust on the ground brought up by the car, or the loess in the air. I don't know if it was because his eyesight hadn't fully recovered. The city in front of him looked like a yellow haze to the boy.

The boy didn't care about being left behind. There were too many things he couldn't understand.

The boy walked and walked in one city after another, whether he was hungry, sleepy, cold or uncomfortable, he went to sleep and woke up to continue walking.

This is his first time living in the outside world, and the world here is completely different from the world in Qingnian's paintings.The houses are transparent and square, like containers filled with monsters in a laboratory; there are no green trees on the road, let alone red roses; basically there is no one on the whole street except him When traveling, everyone sits in cars that run extremely fast one by one; the air also smells bad, and there are floating loess everywhere.Every time the wind blows, the boy must close his eyes and circle his body. If he is lucky, he will wake up in the same place. If he is unlucky, he will not sleep for too long if he is blown to another city by the strong wind.

It is also thanks to the storms, otherwise the boy would not have been able to reach so many cities with his slow feet.

That period of time is the time when boys grow the fastest.

He has learned a lot, for example, he won't be hungry after eating, he can steal if he can't find it, and grab it if he can't.And as long as you knock down the opponent, you can get everything on the opponent.

But beating people is also particular. Some people can get the food in his arms with a little threat. The iron rod was so painful that he passed out.

This kind of person is the most troublesome. If you meet him, the only way to avoid future troubles is to beat him with an iron rod until you pass out from pain until your body is splattered with his blood, and then deal with it secretly.

But at that time, the boy couldn't tell who just needed a little threat and who needed to be beaten until blood spattered, so he just dealt with the latter.

One day, the boy went to grab food from a square container.When I left, I saw my own portrait on a huge display screen, with a big "dangerous element" written next to the portrait, and when I wanted to look at the other words carefully, the screen flashed and turned into another stern-faced , a strange woman holding a sheet of paper.But what the boy noticed was another portrait next to the woman, with blond hair, snow-white skin, and pale lips, like an expensive and fragile doll, except that his eyes were no longer the captivating amber color, but It's the same black as the boy.

"Matthew," my god.

The boy muttered to himself, completely oblivious to the red dot shooting from a corner, right on his head.

This time the boy woke up on an iron board with a thin white cloth on his body. When the white cloth was removed, the surrounding walls were painted white.For a time, the boy even thought that he had gone back to the past, in the "castle", where youth could be found.

The boy walked out of the room, and it was gray outside the window. According to his life experience during this period, the boy guessed that it was about midnight.

How to find the young man, how to find the young man and snatch him from them?

grab?
