[Sword Three] The World Bank at the End of the Seven Shows

There are still three days until the Spring Festival, which is a great joy. In addition, through the unremitting efforts of people, the railway line from the imperial capital to many residential and protected areas across the country has been completed. This is the happiest joy.

This railway stretches from Imperial Capital in the north to City W in the south. There are fifteen stations in between. The entire line is guarded by nearly [-] supernatural beings in rotation. They are responsible for protecting the railway from mutant creatures. This is the longest post-disaster railway in the world. A new railway in the city can be called a miracle after the end of the world.

All together, we must celebrate!So it is scheduled to hold a New Year's celebration today.

In the early morning, when the sky was just dawning, many people were still asleep, but those who were busy with the celebration had to get up early.

Mu Qiantong got up early in the morning, pushed open the window and took a breath of fresh air, refreshing her spirits.The five-element stone of the water system made her feel no chill even in her pajamas. After washing her hands and feet quickly, she took the props and went straight to the next building to knock on the door.

Wen Yu was carrying a lunch box, dressed like a round cotton ball, and opened the door tremblingly: "Morning, morning, good morning..." Seeing Mu Qiantong wearing only a thin cotton coat but not cold at all, listening to the sound outside the window The cold wind howled, and Wen Yu was extremely envious.Her father was on duty at the hospital last night, and her mother stayed away all night to help design the scene for the celebration. She wanted to save money, so she only burned some mutated grass to keep warm.But she didn't control the amount well, the grass had already been burned when she got up in the morning, and she was almost frozen in the quilt.

Mu Qiantong was almost amused by her appearance, and pulled Wen Xiaomian ball to go out: "It's not cold to walk, we have to be there early to prepare for today's event. You still have to bring breakfast to your master."

As soon as Yu Yang was mentioned, Wen Yu's attention was immediately diverted, her cheeks flushed slightly: "What 'my family' master... I won't call him master now." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she laughed herself, murmuring Said, "Just call your name..."

Mu Qiantong smiled without saying a word.

A year ago, she was in a coma for a while after completing the final task, and she heard about it from someone else.

After destroying the origin base, Wen Yu and Yu Yang were the first group of system boarders to return to the imperial capital using the divine line.When the system was completely silent a few minutes later, everyone else was fine, but Wen Yu passed out in full view of everyone!

The people around were astonished, Yu Yang jumped up anxiously, hearing the doctor who came for the examination faltered and couldn't explain why, he almost lost his mind and attacked the doctor, but was dragged away by Shi Mingjie.

Wenyu's system was once damaged, and everyone knew about it.Could it be that when the Xuan character zero zero five loses its effect, she will lose consciousness again?

Yu Yang's eyes were red, he stuck to Wen Yu, and no one could persuade him to leave.

However, only a few hours later, Wen Yu woke up by herself.The first thing after opening her eyes was to throw Yu Yang, who had been guarding her for a long time, in front of everyone—yes, throw herself down.

Delicate and weak, Wen Yu in a hospital gown pushed the tall and strong young man Yu Yang to the ground, opened his mouth and called "Little Brother" instead of "Master", and added "I like you" .

Yu Yang was so shocked that he couldn't even utter half a word. After Wen Yu finished shouting, he found that a circle of people in the ward, including his parents, had a panoramic view of the scene, and they were so shy that they almost got under the bed.

——Her memory came back, whether it was before or after the system was damaged, all the memories were back.

The little things that Yu Yang took care of along the way made her no longer willing to hide her small thoughts, so she confessed to Yu Yang immediately.

Yu Yang had already graduated from the police academy at that time. As soon as he found out that his family members were all alive and still in the capital, he also stayed in the capital and returned to his job. Now he is guarding the law and order of the capital with his senior brother Miao Shiyi.

Wen Yu always felt that the food in her little brother's work unit was not good, so she cooked and sent it to Yu Yang every day.These days, she and Mu Qiantong are on winter vacation, so she cooks more dishes, and she even arranges Mu Qiantong's breakfast by herself, anyway, they live next door.

Wen Yu immersed herself in being a braised snail for a while, but she still couldn't help but want to chat: "Where's yours?"

Mu Qiantong spoke to Li Xiao on the phone last night: "He should be able to come back tonight. But he probably won't be able to watch our performance in time. It doesn't matter, the TV station will rebroadcast it."

Wen Yu almost complained for Mu Qiantong: "You two can meet each other several times a year."

When Mu Qiantong was reminded by her, she really did the math: In the past year, Li Xiao, who became the first-line commander of the special operations force, met her seven times in total, and the total time they spent together was less than 20 days. Writing reports and analysis all day long.

But what does it matter?She understands Li Xiao's work. She is not particularly clingy and is busy with her studies. When they can get together, the two of them will go on dates. On the days when they can't get together, they will text and talk on the phone. She thinks it's good. .

It takes about half an hour to go to Yu Yang's police force from here, and it happens to pass through a main road of the imperial capital.These days the road is generously marked out with several areas for people to set up stalls.In order to attract customers, the stall owners tried their best to make their stalls beautiful. Many stalls prepared enough mutated grass and lit handmade lanterns all night.

In the hazy morning light, the two of them could see from a distance that the street ahead was brightly lit. All kinds of novel retro lanterns, new paper-cuts made of mutated plants and other small objects almost occupied the entire street.

Wen Yu became excited. Mu Qiantong stayed at home for a few days to prepare for the performance. She delivered meals to Yu Yang every day, and always wanted to share the beautiful scenery here with Mu Qiantong: "Did you see that big lantern over there? I The stall owner gave me a big mutated radish to thank me for helping to modify the pattern. I made radish cake, and I can eat it in a while."

"It's very beautiful." Mu Qiantong looked all the way over, and the lantern improved by Wen Yu's guidance was indeed the most eye-catching. Early in the morning, tourists gathered under the lantern to admire it, and waited for the stall owner to open the door to welcome customers.

Wen Yu was complacent, and it wasn't cold after walking for a while. She held Mu Qiantong with her head held high and her arm held high as she crossed the long street that had just woken up, and stepped into the police compound in another alley.

She came to cook a small stove for Yu Yang, but she didn't forget about the others, and gave the extra prepared snacks to the chefs in the kitchen.

Putting Yu Yang's share in his place, Wen Yu and Mu Qiantong came out, just in time to see the young policemen from the team's morning training running over.Yu Yang ran in the middle of the team, dressed like everyone else, but Wen Yu recognized him at a glance, and kept watching him run away.

"Let's go." Today, she and Mu Qiantong have something to do, so she can't watch it for too long. If Yang ran away, she would consciously pick up Mu Qiantong and leave the police force.

The two came to the open-air stage of the performance, and there were not many staff and performers arriving at this point.When the two of them went backstage, Wen Yu opened the lunch box, took out two breakfasts that were still warm, and gave one to Mu Qiantong, and the two of them began to eat breakfast at this time.

After breakfast was finished, the staff had almost arrived, Mu Qiantong changed into costumes, and Wen Yu started to help her put on makeup.

A busy, fulfilling and festive day has begun.

The performance went smoothly, and Mu Qiantong's part was particularly exciting. After the dance, the audience applauded like thunder.

After Mu Qiantong finished his work, he went back to the backstage to rest, and took out his mobile phone to send text messages to Muye, adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Mobile phones are not rare now, but mobile phones that can send text messages are rare. After all, the reconstruction of communication lines after the disaster is also a big problem.But this is not a problem for Konoha, anyway, he has plenty of money.

After sending the letter to her family, Mu Qiantong leaned back in the chair and took a nap. There was a lot of noise outside, so she sneaked to this corner to rest by herself, which was quite comfortable.

Holding the phone in his hand, Mu Qiantong didn't notice that the corners of his lips were slightly curved when he looked at the text message he received last night.

The officers and soldiers led by Li Xiao are still on their way back to the imperial capital. Their special operations force has been in charge of guarding the engineering team and cleaning up the mutated creatures blocking the way. The last time Mu Qiantong saw him was a month and a half ago.It's no wonder that Wen Yu in the morning felt a little bit blaming him for Mu Qiantong, the separation this time was really long, and Mu Qiantong missed him very much.

The weather in the imperial capital is cold, and the school's winter vacation is much longer than when Mu Qiantong was studying in the south; Li Xiao came back from this trip, and the biggest task was successfully completed. At least one month's vacation should be given, except for work reports and report writing. This reunion is longer than any previous holiday, and Mu Qiantong has already planned several ways of vacation.

Thinking of Li Xiao, Mu Qiantong inevitably thought of the partners who fought side by side a year ago.

At that time, Shi Mingjie was the first to leave the imperial capital.

System Xuan Zi [-] "Shaolin" sect disciple Shi Mingjie was indeed born in Shaolin Temple. He fought with everyone all the way through life and death, playing the most inconspicuous but most solid backing of the team.After the disaster, Shaolin accepted many ordinary people who had fled. Shi Mingjie had completed his mission, and there were still many things to do back home.

When he went back, he applied to take away his ancient magic weapon, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage also agreed.Twelve-ringed tin sticks were originally ancient cultural relics, and also Shaolin sacred objects. To be able to preserve them in Shaolin, to assist Shi Mingjie in guarding the Shaolin Residential Reserve, is to make the best use of them.

Guo Ling left the imperial capital with his father, stayed in the vibrant small town near the imperial capital, and went to a city further away.It is said that he and his father intend to develop that side as a new residential reserve.

After the disaster, the whole country was not completely twisted into one rope. Although many supernatural beings did not clearly establish themselves as kings, they did become emperors of one side by virtue of their own abilities.The state neither advocates nor prohibits this kind of practice. These people have indeed made efforts to defend those ordinary people.

Guo Ling's ancient magic weapon is not owned by the state, let alone a cultural relic, he took it away by himself.

And Lu Yan.

After bringing Muze back, Lu Yan handed Muze over to his department. Neither Mu Qiantong nor Muye had the chance to meet Muze again. After all, Muze couldn't even reveal that he was alive, otherwise he would want to kill him. people can circle the imperial capital three times.

No one cares what Mu Ze's original intention is, if he does some things, he will have to pay the price.

As Mu Qiantong's senior in the dance department, Lu Yan is naturally familiar with dance.He knew that Mu Qiantong used dance steps to leave a message to his younger brother when he finally separated from him, but he didn't expose it.

Along the way, Lu Yan knew very well how much Mu Qiantong valued his younger brother. Lu Yan felt guilty for not being able to help Mu Qiantong meet Mu Ze, and even receiving a little news from Mu Ze.

Seeing Mu Qiantong's loss, Lu Yan asked her and Konoha one day for a "spring outing" at a mutated plant breeding research base in the suburbs.

The brother and sister went to the appointment for no reason, and Lu Yan led the two of them through the heavy guards to the botanical garden for a tea break, leaving the two behind for an excuse to pour water and go out.

After he left, a pot of green plants on the table slowly unfurled its leaves, and the leaves nimbly rubbed against the table, leaving a faint juice.

Of course, both brothers and sisters could see clearly: the words on the table read "Brother, sister, I'm sorry, I'm fine. Help me take good care of my parents".

After a while, Lu Yan came back again, "accidentally" spilled water on the table, wiped it off casually, sat down and chatted with the siblings for a while, and then sent them back.

The identities of all system boarders were ordered to be sealed, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and even Li Xiao can only turn back to work on the bright side.But Lu Yan was very careful when doing business, and would wear a mask most of the time, so the only people who knew that he was a boarder of the system were some people in the army, and this group of people had strict customs.

After that, of course Lu Yan continued to be his big star.But Lu Yan's fans don't know that their idol is not just a beautiful vase.

Lu Yan's Fen Ye stayed in his department. Fen Ye was a controlled knife during the regular period. Although Lu Yan loved these two weapons very much, the long scimitar with an open blade should not be used as a movie prop to fool the police. uncle.What's more, among the boarders of the system, there were originally two policemen who knew everything about Star Lu and would not watch him break the law.

In short, everything is slowly on the right track, whether it is a supernatural person or an ordinary person, they have started a new life.

The intensive rehearsals these days made Mu Qiantong a little tired, since she had no acting tasks anyway, so she simply closed her eyes and closed her phone to rest.While she was half asleep and half awake, a voice came.

[Xuanzi [-] [Qianli Chuanyin]]: I'm in an alley teahouse, is it convenient to meet up?

Mu Qiantong bounced straight from the chair!

With a face full of shock, he saw the system panel light up again in his mind, and Mu Qiantong tried to use the system ability to "disguise and change clothes". Sure enough, a dance costume and stage makeup changed into a normal dress and plain makeup in seconds!

The system is back? !Then the person who spoke is not...

How could she be willing to delay, she ran out without saying a word!

The alley teahouse is not far from here, Mu Qiantong didn't want to be too conspicuous in the crowd, instead, he felt the familiar energy of the water system while walking fast, and his eye circles were almost red.

There was no need for a waiter to lead the way, Mu Qiantong whispered "I have an appointment" to the welcoming waiter and went straight to the second floor.

Standing outside the small box, she stabilized her mood and pushed the door open.

Tang Huai wore a pair of half-rim glasses, and Mu Qiantong subconsciously looked at his injured right eye first, and found that the light in his right eye was slightly dimmed.She looked at Tang Huai carefully again, and saw that he was wearing a tracksuit and sneakers, but he had returned to the standard physical education teacher's attire.

What happened a year ago?He single-handedly chased the senior cadres of Yuanyuan to leave everyone, and even left the ancient magic soldiers in the ruins; he was blind in one eye and lost all system capabilities. How did he survive?Why did Mu Qiantong not feel his presence at that time?Where was he this year, why didn't he want to come back to see everyone?

With a hundred thousand reasons in Mu Qiantong's mind, he watched Tang Huai at the door for 5 minutes before taking his seat under the silent urging of his eyes.

"One year." Mu Qiantong spoke first, with a dry voice.

"En." Tang Huai answered a syllable without emotion.If Mu Qiantong got to know him better, he would probably find that this elder brother was actually a bit unnatural, and he was just pretending to be indifferent.

Mu Qiantong glanced at the words "Didu No. [-] Elementary School" printed on his sportswear, his heart was burning and his teeth were itchy: "This year, you will be in the Didu."

"Yes."

Doesn't he know how many people have worried about him this year? !She didn't talk about it herself. When Feng Wei learned that his own son had died in the ruins, and even the body could not be found, he even covered his face and wept in front of all his colleagues—he didn't even hear a sound from his son. call!

Tang Huai, you are ruthless!

Mu Qiantong really exhausted his self-restraint so that he didn't jump up, and squeezed out the words between his teeth with a blank face: "It's your turn, brother."

Tang Huai paused: "The system has recovered, I can't hide it anymore."

"so?"

"I am prepared to surrender."

Mu Qiantong didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he couldn't help becoming nervous: "Wait, what do you mean?"

Tang Huai looked into Mu Qiantong's clear eyes: "I was responsible for the serial murders before the imperial capital. Before the end of the world, the case files on me were piled up higher than yours. There were many people chasing me. After returning to the imperial capital, I I have been greedy for a year where you can't see, and now I have no regrets. I'm sorry."

Mu Qiantong was tongue-tied, the anger just now was extinguished in an instant, and more worries surged up.

Tang Huai was not surprised by her shock, and said calmly: "Manpower is very expensive now, I don't want to waste everyone's time, thank General Feng for giving me my life. If he is willing, he can come and see me. I haven't I have called my father, and I can call him once if he wants to hear. Finally, it is... my sister, we meet again."

"Wait..." Mu Qiantong stood up abruptly, and held Tang Huai down, "Who said you have to pay for your life?" After finally seeing her living brother, Mu Qiantong was so angry that she didn't have time to be happy How can you accept this result? !Get rid of its three views, get rid of its laws, Tang Huai has done so much, why does it have to end like this in the end? !

Tang Huai looked up at her, his usual frozen expression was a little loose, but probably because his face had been paralyzed for too long, Mu Qiantong couldn't tell whether he was smiling or not: "I have notified the police."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed open, and Miao Shiyi, who was sweating profusely from running, stared at his brothers and sisters, followed by Yu Yang.

Two police officers, one criminal, and one civilian.

Miao Shiyi's Acacia Bone, an ancient divine weapon, is a musical instrument, which he usually wears on his body, and is still hanging around his waist now.Mu Qiantong's Huixue Ningguang was left at home today, but the system backpack can be opened, and the general Mo Xie can use it, but what will happen to the "controlled knife cultural relics" in front of the police?

And Yu Yang is still...

Mu Qiantong weighed whether she could beat these two people, but her body was better than her mind and stopped in front of Tang Huai first: "Please wait..."

Miao Shiyi didn't even look at her and pushed her back. With a click, the handcuffs were placed on Tang Huai's wrists, and the words that followed were squeezed between his teeth: "Follow me!"

Tang Huai stood up without any resistance, didn't look at Mu Qiantong again, didn't say a word, and obediently followed downstairs.

Just as Mu Qiantong was about to chase, Yu Yang pushed him back into the chair.

After those two people left, Yu Yang said: "Who do you think you can stop after chasing now?"

Mu Qiantong was at a loss for words, and Yu Yang said again: "How far do you think people you know can be selfish?"

Mu Qiantong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Yu Yang let go of her: "Let's do something useful. General Feng is in the imperial capital, Lu Yan is back, and Konoha is away, but his hands are longer than anyone else's. Let him find a way to operate and keep that The guy has a lot of methods." Seeing Mu Qiantong's eyes brighten, Yu Yang added, "The special operations forces have been recruiting criminals with supernatural powers to eliminate harmful mutant creatures, allowing them to perform crimes and meritorious deeds in exchange for reduced sentences. Don't Tell me you don't know who's in Special Operations."

Mu Qiantong was woken up, and he didn't hesitate any longer, didn't even have time to say "thank you", passed him and ran directly from the balcony, and took out the "controlled cultural relics of knives" in front of the police.

Yu Yang watched her disappear from sight, scanned the tea on the table, and honestly went downstairs to open his wallet: "How much did you spend in the box above?"

During the rare vacation, Mu Qiantong was as busy as a spinning top, and so was Li Xiao.Tang Huai's case is complicated, and there are many forces involved behind it. It is not easy to find a way out for him.

After a full week of work, the former criminal was captured by special operations forces.

Mu Qiantong finally met Li Xiao who was longing for him.

After a long time no see, Li Xiao has lost half of his color again, his eyes are still bloodshot, it can be seen that he has stayed up all night.

The first thing he said when he met Mu Qiantong was: "Don't worry."

Seeing that he was so tired, Mu Qiantong was glad that he had cooked a table of delicious food in advance: "Eat first."

Soldiers eat fast, and Li Xiao is no exception.Seeing that Li Xiao was about to swallow it without chewing twice, Mu Qiantong put down his chopsticks and held his hand: "Eat slowly, this is at home."

It is easy to get stomach problems if you eat too fast, Feng Wei has this problem, Mu Qiantong doesn't want Li Xiao to suffer from it, even if he has a strong resilience of the system.

Li Xiao held her hand behind his back, didn't say anything, just pressed her palm to his face.

Having not seen each other for nearly two months, Li Xiao couldn't help thinking of Mu Qiantong when he was eating and drinking every day.Just because he didn't say it didn't mean he wasn't worried. He really didn't want to repeat the experience of Chief Feng Wei.

However, even if his mission is transferred from the bottom to the ground, how long can the incompatibility last?

Precious relationships need to be maintained with heart, and he is really reluctant to leave Mu Qiantong to live alone.

Mu Qiantong laughed: "I have to practice dancing for at least five hours a day. When I'm resting, I help Xiaoyu make clothes, and I read books when I have free time. When I'm in school, I practice dancing for longer. How about you?" Do you remember what time I chat with you every day? I’m not idle during the holidays. Xiaoyu’s family is very busy. We are neighbors. Sometimes I cook, sometimes she cooks, and then help each other with housework— — life is rich.”

Li Xiao stared into her eyes, before speaking for a while: "I..."

Mu Qiantong scooped up a spoonful of vegetables with his other hand and fed them to his mouth: "The vegetables are getting cold."

After enjoying a delicious dinner, the two went out for a walk together.The Spring Festival has already passed, and the two of them did not even get together on the most festive day. Fortunately, the street still retains a lively and festive atmosphere. Many foreigners who took the train that just opened entered the imperial capital for sightseeing, and the pedestrians on the street were completely No reduction seen.

The aroma of delicious food is wafting all over the street, and many children let their parents carry them on their shoulders to watch the lanterns on both sides.

Mu Qiantong held Li Xiao's arm, thinking that he had completed the task of guarding the railway construction, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, where will you go in the future?"

The tasks of the special operations forces are semi-public in nature, and sometimes some supernatural beings are recruited to assist them.

"We will gradually clean up the troublesome mutated creatures in other areas, depending on the arrangement of the higher authorities." How could Li Xiao not understand her thoughts, "Go to school well."

Mu Qiantong didn't care about him: "I just discovered a bigger interest recently. Now that 'they' are all back, do you have the heart to waste such a good thing?"

Li Xiao stopped and looked at her seriously: "I'm the officer, I can decide who I want."

Mu Qiantong protested: "You are abusing your power."

Li Xiao was unmoved: "It's not the first time, I just abused it."

Mu Qiantong turned her eyes, and Li Xiao stopped her directly: "By the way, Miao Shiyi resigned and just came to join me. We have no shortage of people who can heal now. You go to school hard."

Mu Qiantong was a little discouraged: "Wait a minute, I'm going to take the postgraduate entrance examination for military arts after graduation... No, I'll go directly to sign up..."

Her face was suddenly held, and she swallowed the words that followed.

"When you graduate," Li Xiao said word by word, "You have to think about it carefully. Which is more important, the dance you love so much, or the kind of life where the sky is the bed and the earth is the bed."

Mu Qiantong still wanted to talk, but Li Xiao said again: "We did those things to protect your life. You got [-], which is not bad. You have accomplished many great feats with [-]. This is also true. Great. But will the rest of your life be changed just because of them?"

Mu Qiantong was at a loss for words for a while, she actually thought about this question more than once, but until today, she didn't have a definite answer.

She loved dancing since she was a child, but because of this sudden disaster, she was forced to leave school and embarked on the road of chivalry under the guidance of the system.She doesn't regret her choices and experiences at all, but isn't she satisfied with losing her systematic life this year?Isn't this the life she should live the most?

Li Xiao took Mu Qiantong back into his arms, and said as he walked: "Shi Mingjie has gone back, and he should stay in Shaolin forever. Your brother Muye, the place where he can best use his ability is actually his business field. Your other My brother is one of us now, and it is very appropriate for him to reactivate the power of Zero Eight. However, these are their lives, and you have your own path."

Mu Qiantong fell silent, and rethought this matter again.

The system was silent for a year.This year gave her enough time to reflect on the life she wanted.Li Xiao was right. Among the ten former system boarders, there were those who chose not to use the system to return to normal life, and there were also those who chose to reactivate the system and continue to fight for justice.These are their lives. She misses Li Xiao, hopes to be with him, and does not reject the kind of life that can help people stand up again or fight side by side with others, but because of this, she has to give up the dance she has always loved since she was a child. Career?

"Zero Zero Two, what's your opinion?"

[Xuanzi Zero Two]: Host, I respect your choice.

After walking quietly for a while, Mu Qiantong raised his head: "I've made up my mind."

Li Xiao didn't ask her conclusion, but just held her hand silently.

Two years later.

The special operations force wiped out a group of mutant creatures entrenched outside a certain city, and returned to the imperial capital smoothly.The next mission has already come down, the target is very powerful, and they need to add some powerful people.

A young girl walked into the recruitment hall first with steady steps.

Li Xiao was still talking to the person in charge of recruitment, when he caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but raise his head.

"Hello, my name is Mu Qiantong. My theater troupe has a one-month vacation. I think your salary here is pretty good, and the bounty is also high, so I'm here to apply."

A lupine appeared in her hand: "Want to see my abilities?"
