Travel through the long dream millennium

After the battle with Li Xiang, whose temperament had changed drastically that day, Gu Changli and Gu Hei quickly hid in the crowd and left the scene in order to avoid being entangled by the patrolling guards attracted by his huge movement.

In the last days, the Holy City does not support idlers—especially for people like them who were able to enter the city with a little merit.They must decide as soon as possible to join certain service groups in the holy city, such as the collection team that goes out of the city to find food to test the outside world, or stays in the city to specialize in planting and breeding livestock teams... and so on.

Gu Changli himself hates these rules and regulations, but Gu Hei is really interested.Born in the black street, he already liked the "little game" of wandering on the edge of the boundary between black and white to gain profits, so after he patted his chest and promised to hand over these matters to him, they would definitely settle them properly, Changli is also happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

I don't know exactly how Gu Hei managed it. The next afternoon, the two of them were assigned to a hut with a good location and a quiet environment, and the work arrangements thereafter were barely leisurely.I have to say that some people are naturally suitable for a certain kind of food. If they were placed in a peaceful age, relying on his good skills, he might be able to get mixed up in some status - nestle on the seat leisurely, holding a certain Gu Changli, who took a sip of a cup of tea that was brewed so attentively, let out a long breath and sighed.

Now that the place to live has been decided, and the "job" has been settled, Gu Changli then remembered Li Xiang who had escaped from his hands.I don't know whether his crazy and distorted state at that time was just a momentary obsession or showing his true nature. Gu Changli wondered how much trouble might be caused by letting Li Xiang with that temper move freely in the holy city.

Of course, Gu Changli wouldn't care about how much chaos and turmoil the holy city would cause, but if it interfered with his plan, it would be quite bad.

The ghost knows whether what he said at the time that he didn't have the "original" Li Xiang's memory was true or false. Judging from the current situation, his identity as a "weapon" still needs to be kept secret, and he can't see it.

Recalling the memory of the original owner, the last people who appeared in imposing uniforms and mercilessly wiped out the researchers who were still sticking to the research institute one by one, Gu Changli's eyes became colder—the World Tree badge is really Impressive and familiar.

Gu Changli resentfully drank the tea in his hand, and Gu Changli knocked the teacup on the table lightly, signaling to Gu Hei, who was still holding a notebook not far away and was writing or drawing something, "I'll go out for a while." trip."

"Well... Master, be careful on the road."

The boy seemed to be still thinking about some very important issues, his whole face was almost buried in the black paper, until he heard Gu Changli's voice, he reluctantly "pulled" his head out of it When he came out, his eyes were still a little dull and dazed.

Seeing this, Gu Changli couldn't help laughing, waved his hand perfunctorily, and left without looking back.

In the house where there was only one person left, Gu Hei, who was sitting blankly on the spot, was dazed for a while, then suddenly shivered as if remembering something, and then turned his head again to continue the previous "altering" work.

Specific names and scattered and confusing nouns were written down in plain-looking notebooks, and many were quickly erased.

Since leaving Heijie, although he has never shown it on the outside, only Gu Hei understands what he is worried about when he is haunted by the same nightmare every night.Unlike Reinhardt's powerful ability, Li Xiang is familiar with the holy city of Myshin, and he has the weakest ability in the team and has the least effect.

And he also very clearly remembered what that person had said to him very seriously - in the last days, useless people have always had only the fate of being abandoned.

When Reinhardt let the master down, Li Xiang suddenly rebelled, and now that the original team fell apart, he is the only one who can stand by the master's side.

This also means that from now on, my ability and loyalty will receive unprecedented attention and doubts.

If you are not careful, the whole situation will be overturned.

He absolutely does not want to become the master's abandoned son.

anyway.

"The adult has been discharged from the hospital."

Gu Changli, who got the news from the indifferent nurse, frowned deeply after leaving the treatment center.

In all fairness, he didn't want to come to a certain guardian at the embarrassing time when he had just rejected his love.It's just that Li Xiang's sudden departure inexplicably aroused an ominous premonition in his heart, and the organization that could find and capture a powerful supernatural person in the holy city as soon as possible, no one but the guards.

After all, along the way, the members of the team more or less had some fetters—oh, except for Gu Hei, who was born with a black heart—it turned out that the silly, white and sweet Li Xiang still liked Reinhardt. Kind of people like it.He Qi mentioned this matter inadvertently, and his mission for this trip was almost completed.

Unexpectedly, Reinhardt, who was still lying on the bed unable to move a few days ago, was discharged from the hospital in the blink of an eye.The whereabouts of the guards are kept secret to most of the civilians in the Holy City. In other words, Gu Changli doesn't even know where Reinhard is.

【"Could it be that the foreign boy was rejected by your apprentice, so he played his temper and never saw you again?"】

Xuan Qing in the conscious space touched his chin narrowly and said jokingly.

【"That's not the case, he's not so fragile."】 Gu Changli shook his head lightly after hearing Xuan Qing's rant, his face became more gloomy, 【"It's okay if that's the case, I'm afraid I'm afraid that he will be forced to leave the hospital...he must go to perform some tasks."]

【"Is it a mission so important that a supernatural user will join it even if it hurts more..."] What a shrewd person Xuanqing is, he quickly learned the meaning behind his words from his apprentice's words, There was also a wave of turmoil in my heart.

I don't know what emotion touched my mind,

Gu Changli suddenly turned around and looked at the sky beyond the high city wall, his eyes focused and sharp.

He seemed to hear some faint voices that kept calling him.

--------------

"come out."

He stopped abruptly, frowning slightly on his snow-white and immature face, showing his master's unswerving state of mind.

"You guys, why do you keep following me?"

Her eyes were firmly fixed on a bush that looked quite normal, and her black and white pupils were full of innocent and harmless doubts, "If you don't come out, I'm going to be angry."

"..."

After a brief silence and stalemate, three people suddenly appeared from behind the bushes, and the leading man had a very serious and vicissitudes face.

"you--"

"I'm a girl. I'm from the deserted city and I'm going to the holy city. I don't have supernatural powers."

The girl curled her lips angrily, "Uncle, you are the fourth batch of people who have asked me this question, and I have memorized all the answers."

Having said that, she paused again, then slowly turned her head to look behind her.

On the ground very close to her back, there is a thick vine that has been frozen into an ice lump, covered with black and purple spikes, and it can be seen at a glance how dangerous it is.

"This is also the fourth batch."

"Why did you have to kill me?"

She blinked her eyes, a thin and transparent short needle flew to her neck at a speed that the naked eye could not capture, quickly followed the trail of the vine, formed an ice ball and quickly fell to the ground without any shock Get up a little dust.

Seeing the expressions of fear and despair on the faces of the three people who were gradually engulfed by ice and snow, the little girl tilted her head, and suddenly tapped lightly on the place where they were... The spreading ice crystals quickly solidified and became still.

"Girl along the way, I met many people who wanted to hurt me... and ugly bug monsters."

"The monsters want to harm me because they want to eat the girl's meat to fill their stomachs."

"Those people want to harm me, some because they think the girl is young and easy to deceive; some want to do strange things to the girl."

"But you're different—"

Step by step approaching the big ice balls with only their heads exposed, the little girl stopped in front of the leading man and looked up at him.

"You don't look like human-eating monsters at all, and your eyes don't have the hateful color of those people on the wild..."

"But you are more ruthless than those people. You don't even talk to the girl, but you want to kill me. Why?"

"why?"

"Strange……"

The middle-aged man's frozen Adam's apple squirmed for a long time before slowly uttering a breathy word.

The little girl subconsciously leaned forward and stood on tiptoe, trying to hear more clearly.

Immediately afterwards, the man's dry, hoarse but extremely vicious words resounded loudly, and the voice resounded through the sky.

"—A monster like you deserves to die! Damn it! You should—"

The last roar grew in an instant, and it stopped abruptly in the ice and snow that tightly wrapped his entire head. The man's final expression was distorted and pleased, with the satisfaction of expressing his full resentment and curse, against the crystal clear ice It looks a little distorted.

She lowered her head abruptly, and her long bangs, which hadn't been done for a long time, covered the little girl's eyes. Most of her face was hidden in the darkness, and her tightly pursed lips gradually lost their color, showing a rigid and cold expression. radians.

A mass of silver-white ice centered on her, expanding in all directions, until the small half of the forest where the little girl lived... and every living creature in it was frozen into the amber-like white ice .

It wasn't until this time that the little girl slowly raised her head, the brilliance in her obsidian-like eyes dimmed.

She suddenly bent her eyes at the seemingly empty air, showing a faint but sincere smile.

"I'm not angry."

"I'm not a monster."

"He must be talking nonsense."

"How can a girl be a monster?"

"I'm going to meet that blond-haired elder brother. He said he would take me to the holy city."

"I'm going to make friends there."

"She would come to me a lot, and we could play a lot of games."

The little girl, who was resolving herself like this, patted her chest lightly, and then suppressed the inexplicable pain and anxiety.Just when she was about to leave this postnatally formed world of ice and snow, some kind of extremely powerful pressure that rose from nowhere suddenly weighed heavily on her body.

The little girl, who had no defense at all, fell to the ground like this, unable to even breathe for a while, her snow-white and pink cheeks flushed red, and then gradually turned blue.

"It's so uncomfortable... so uncomfortable..."

The little girl, whose eyes were bloodshot due to the intense suffocation, hugged herself in vain and screamed hysterically.Accompanied by her sound of being on the verge of extinction, the ice and snow that had stopped spreading before was like a mad beast, quickly devouring all the life around it at a jaw-dropping speed, spreading endlessly, as if wanting to swallow the whole world.

I don't know when, the heavy pressure that almost took the little girl's life subsided. She clutched her throat and coughed non-stop, and then greedily breathed the air that was so important to her at this time, tears were completely unaffected. It slipped from the eyes in a controlled manner, wet the whole cheek.

With tears in her eyes, she seemed to see several slender figures walking towards her, one of them had blond hair as bright as the sun.

The necklace around her neck finally couldn't withstand the severe cold and broke suddenly. A small, ordinary stone that was used as a pendant fell and fell on the extremely hard icy ground, shattering. into chunks.

At the same time, the stone pendant with the chain on the blond man's wrist cracked softly and fell to the ground.

"Big brother……"

The little girl stared blankly at the face that had appeared in front of her eyes countless times, but the owner of this face was staring at her with a kind of icy cold eyes that she had never seen before.

"You said...you will bring me to the Holy City..."

Subconsciously ignoring the strange feeling in her heart, the little girl quickly raised her hand to wipe off the criss-crossing tears on her face, so that she would not look so embarrassed. She looked at Reinhardt expectantly, The bright and bright eyes are as dazzling as the stars, "I... I came by myself."

"You shouldn't have come."

Reinhard, who was in an extremely complicated mood, lowered his eyes to avoid the overly hot and joyful gaze from not far away, squeezed his fist, and then spoke slowly.

"No matter where you go...there is no place for you in this world."

Suddenly, a wind gently blows over this ice and snow field that should not have appeared in this season, engulfed with fine ice crystals... and a bone-piercing coolness.
