Twilight War

Chapter 36 Dreams

...At least let me finish this dream.

01

In the endless night, silver-white vehicles are driving on the road.

Huang Xuanjin leaned against the car window, looking at the flickering street lights outside the window with a somewhat disconcerted gaze. He had one leg resting on the car seat, and the light hit his face through the glass car window, which was somewhat dim.

He took off the shirt on his body and wanted to tear it into strips to bandage the wound, but found that he couldn't even tear off the shirt. Every time he tried hard, his wrist began to hurt.Huang Xuanjin smiled self-deprecatingly in the back parking space with the corner of his mouth twitching, biting his knuckles.

Wischpel handed over the medicine box on the car, "There are gauze inside and some basic medicines."

Huangxuanjin raised his head and glanced at Wisper, and then took the medicine box. Wissipel reached out to see how Huangxuanjin's injuries were, but met Huangxuanjin's eyes. Pell withdrew his hand and continued driving.

The most serious injury was the one in the abdomen that was attacked by the giant wolf. Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and rummaged through the medicine box to find out the medicine that could be used.

Taking advantage of Huangxuan Jin's lowering of his head, Wisipel lightly adjusted the rearview mirror, half of the boy's face in the mirror was hidden in the darkness, and half of his face was in the flickering lights.

The cold yellow light shone on the rear car mirror, and the boy's face was blurred.

Huang Xuanjin finished treating his wound.

"Where are you going?" Wihipel didn't look back, and took off his windbreaker and handed it to the back.

"Go straight." Huang Xuanjin took the windbreaker and put it on.

Wisper didn't ask any more questions, Huang Xuanjin looked out of the window, there was nothing outside the window except the boundless night and flickering street lights, but he just kept looking out of the window.

Huang Xuanjin lay on the back parking space, watching the sky gradually turn white.

It's dawn.

Wischpel parked the car at the abandoned machinery dump, "Is this it?"

Huang Xuanjin nodded.

The early morning mist hangs over the machinery dump, and the air smells of copper rust.

"Did Carter give you the Dragon's Breath Stone?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"Well," said Vichypel, "why don't you give it to me yourself."

"I don't like it very much and want to leave early."

"Then you shouldn't ask her to give it to me." Wihipel turned off the engine, but didn't get out of the car.

"What can't you do?"

Wihipel didn't speak, looked at the endless fog in front of him, and said for a long time: "Get out of the car."

Huang Xuanjin crawled out from the back parking space, and Wisipel had already opened the trunk, and there was a sack inside, and Wisipel said, "Here is the money, as agreed."

Huang Xuanjin didn't look at him, and directly carried the sack on his shoulder, "You can go back."

"I'll take you back to the Black Tower," Vehipel said.

Huangxuanjin didn't speak, and continued walking with the sack on his shoulders, and Wihipel followed behind him.

He quite likes carrying a sack of money like this, like a fugitive.

The garage door was opened, and the morning light shone into the dark garage.Several people looked at this place together. Before Huang Xuanjin could speak, he was completely embraced by the red fire ants that rushed over.

"Boss! You are finally back! We thought you died outside!"

"Dead!" Huangxuan Jin wanted to push the red fire ant away but failed, "When I die, you just divide the family property."

"Boss, you are eccentric. You only take Carter with you when you go out on missions, not us." The belly-cut snake said quietly.

Huang Xuanjin rolled his eyes, "Whenever you can captivate Master Dude, I will take you there."

"Boss, admit it. You value sex over friends." Red Fire Ant patted Huangxuan Jin on the back, which almost made Huang Xuan Jin vomit blood, "Carter has been waiting for you here for a long time, we Tell her to go back first, and wait here for you to come back."

"Who said I'm waiting for him? I'm just waiting for the money. I can't let me go in vain." Carter looked here. She was still wearing the long red dress and Huang Xuanjin's military jacket on her shoulders. , with half a glass of wine in her hand, her curves are exquisite and proud, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a landscape.

Huang Xuanjin poured out the sack in his hand, and the gold coins were piled up all over the floor, "Why, the money is here, can I run away with it?"

"Wow, boss, your ticket is big enough." Belly Snake stared at the gold coins on the ground.

After pouring out the gold coins, Huang Xuanjin leaned sideways on the car.

"Why did you come back so late?" Carter asked.

"It was too chaotic at the banquet, so I went out to see the stars."

"Looking at the stars?" Carter seemed to be in disbelief.

"What? Don't believe me."

"I don't believe nine out of ten of what you said." Carter leaned over and whispered in Huangxuan Jin's ear, with the rosemary scent lingering around her neck.

"You crushed his wound." Vihipel suddenly pulled Huangxuan Jin over, and Huang Xuanjin couldn't stand still and hurriedly supported the truck next to him.

Carter asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

Huang Xuanjin waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a small injury." Then he showed Carter the wound on his arm that was scratched by the wolves.

Carter was relieved when he saw that it wasn't too serious, and then smiled, "I'll treat it as a serious injury, but our master can single-handedly challenge the whole audience no matter how serious the injury is, right?"

"Hehe." Huang Xuanjin laughed dryly twice.

"Really?" Wihipel looked at Huangxuan Jin.

"Ha ha."

"Who is he?" Hui Wei, who hadn't spoken the whole time, looked at Vehipel and asked Huangxuan Jin.

It was only then that the red fire ants and the belly-cut snakes remembered to ask who the sudden extra person was. Carter had seen Wisipel from the very beginning, but she was instinctively wary of him, as if she wanted to avoid him on purpose , she didn't like the way Vichypel looked at him.

That's not the way a man should look at him. Not many men can be indifferent to her. Not only are they not indifferent, but they are even somewhat hostile.

Like a lion that has been robbed of its territory.thought Carter.

She had noticed this man since flirting with Huangxuan Jin at the banquet, and everyone was looking at him, but his eyes were different from others, as deep as a bottomless abyss.

He obviously has accumulated too much intolerable things, but he still seems to be enduring something.Carter thought of the glaciers floating in the sea in the North Pole.Everyone only saw a corner, but Carter could vaguely feel the larger and more intense emotions under the water.

It will collapse. When you can't bear it anymore, when the ice and snow accumulate to the point where you can no longer accumulate, then the sky and the earth will crack, and the snow will fall and the ice will break.

When she handed him the dragon's breath stone, he asked her, why you.

Are you expecting something?What can such a man expect.The man didn't say anything else, but she could feel a deeper chill on him.

She knew the icebergs were getting colder under the water.

"It's just the employer this time." Huang Xuanjin smiled.

"The money is very generous. Remember to find our boss next time you have a job." Belly Snake said quickly: "Although our boss is a little crazy when doing things, the completion rate of the task must be [-]%."

"Yes, yes, although our boss is unreliable most of the time, he is quite reliable when it comes to money-related matters." Red Fire Ant also said quickly.

Graytail still looked at Vehipel, but said nothing.

Just as Wihipel was about to say something, Carter spoke first.

"I'll go first." Carter handed the remaining half glass of wine to Huangxuan Jin, and walked away gracefully and gracefully pulling the long red dress.

"Aren't you going to take the money?" Huang Xuanjin said looking at Carter's back.

Carter looked back at Huangxuan Jin and smiled, "Give me Paradise Lost then."

The red fire ants and the belly-cut snakes booed, "After all, I'm still worried about our boss after waiting so long!"

Huang Xuanjin took a sip of the wine in the glass, feeling a bit bitter.

"Boss, Miss Carter is really good." Red Fire Ant said to Huangxuan Jin.

"Which girl you all think is good." Huang Xuanjin pushed away the belly-cut snake and the red fire ant and walked up the steps, "You can deal with those gold coins yourself first. I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

Wisipel also went up after Huangxuan Jin. Before going up, he glanced at the red fire ant, the belly-cut snake, and the gray tail who had not spoken, and happened to meet the gray tail's eyes.

"Sit in the front." Wisper opened the co-pilot's door, and Huang Xuanjin got in.

"Go back to the Black Tower?" Vehipel asked.

"kindness."

The dappled light reflected on the face of Huang Xuanjin in the co-pilot seat, bringing a sense of almost illusory blur.

"Why didn't you tell them you were hurt?" Wihipel asked.

"It's not necessary."

"You won't tell me if you're injured." Wihipel asked suddenly.

Huang Xuanjin didn't speak, just looked out of the window, and said for a long time, "Telling you that the injury won't heal."

"Why do you do this kind of work?" Vehipel asked, "Don't you think it's too dangerous?"

"Fast money."

"You need money?"

"No, it can be considered." Huang Xuanjin said, "I have always been in short supply, and I don't know where the money is spent. I have never been very good at managing money. I can't do anything else, so I have to do this."

"Then do you only think about making money every day?" Wihipel asked.

Huang Xuanjin chuckled and said, "What? Don't ask for money, do you want immortality?"

"Interested in taking on another job?" Wischpel asked.

"I'm so injured, I'm afraid I'll have to take care of it for a while."

"anytime is fine."

"What live?"

"Life reward."

"I don't give birth rewards." Huang Xuanjin said, "Death rewards are okay, but life rewards are too troublesome."

"Very simple."

"Who?"

Wisper handed over an envelope, and Huang Xuanjin put it into his arms without looking at it.

"The gods in Asgard have bloomed recently, do you want to come back and have a look?" Vehipel asked suddenly.

"Didn't it bloom a long time ago?" Huang Xuanjin said, "I remember that the flowering period is almost over now."

"I just found time to talk to you. Do you want to go back and have a look, since it's about to fall."

"It will open every year." Huang Xuanjin said.

"It's not the same after all, isn't it?"

When they arrived at the Black Tower, Wisipel parked the car in the basement, Huangxuanjin walked out, and Wisippel followed behind him.

"I'm here."

"It's morning, it's time to eat something, it's inconvenient for you to look like this, I can help you make breakfast." Vehipel said.

Huang Xuanjin didn't even notice that it was already dawn, he frowned, and went upstairs directly regardless of Wisipel.

The attic was a bit messy, Huangxuan Jin didn't have the habit of tidying things up, there were a lot of potato chips scattered on the floor, and it would make a crackling sound if he accidentally stepped on it.

The bed was piled with snacks and sundries while the quilt was piled up.There were a few half-turned books spread out on the balcony, and the windows were open when I left, and the pages were curled in the wind.

Wisipel helped up the cup that had fallen on the table, and Huang Xuanjin dug out the clothes he wanted to change from the closet. The clothes inside were piled up and it was a bit hard to find.

"What's in the fridge?"

"I don't remember, it seems to be nothing."

Wischpel opened the refrigerator, and there were rows of wine inside, including a complete set of shakers, and a box of dog food at the bottom.No fruits or vegetables at all.The eggs were laid out in a row.

Huang Xuanjin walked over, took a glass from inside, "Hey, there's still a glass of absinthe." Then he poured himself a glass, "Do you want some?"

Wisper took back the wine from Huang Xuanjin's hand, "Drinking on an empty stomach is not good."

Huang Xuanjin shrugged.

"I remember there is a place to buy things around here, right?" Wihipel asked.

"En." Huang Xuanjin nodded.

"Wait here for me, I'll be back later." Wihipel went over and rubbed Huang Xuan Jin's hair, Huang Xuan Jin was putting a jumper on his head, and his hair was messed up.

Huang Xuanjin struggled out of his shirt, and Wispel had already gone downstairs.

Huang Xuanjin threw himself on the bed, raised his hand, and didn't know whether he was looking at his own fingers or the rays of light passing through his fingers.He pulled out a puppet bear from the quilt and hugged it tightly, then continued to sleep.

The bear had been there when he came here, and it looked a bit old, with some open ears and a little fluff showing.

He stuffed the fur back and frowned, the puppet bear would become thinner and thinner.

Huangxuanjin didn't think about why there was such a thing here, and if he found it, it was his.

After a while, hearing the sound of the door opening, Huangxuan Jin glanced at Wisipel who had returned with his things, and then went back to sleep on his stomach.Some distant voices came from the kitchen that hadn't been touched for hundreds of years. Huang Xuanjin was playing with the cuddly puppet in his hand, touching the nose of the puppet bear with his nose.

After a while, Wispel finished the things and found that there was no dining table in the attic, "Where do you put it?"

"Just put it on the ground." Huang Xuanjin said: "The table was trampled by that dog a month ago, he is too good to eat."

Wisper put the finished oatmeal on the floor, Huang Xuanjin got out of bed, and found Wisper staring at the stuffed bear on his bed.

"You sleep with that every night?" Vichypel asked.

"Yes!" Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and whispered, "Laugh if you want!"

"No, I'm just envious."

"Envy what?"

"The bear."

The porridge was placed on the ground, and the two of them sat facing each other on the ground, with a cool breeze blowing from the still open window.

After eating, Huangxuan Jin lay down on the bed and continued to sleep. After washing the dishes, Wisipel stood at the door and watched for a long time.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Huangxuan Jin opened his eyes.

After lying on the bed for a while, he slowly crawled to the side of the bed, picked up the clothes thrown aside from the side of the bed, and found out the envelope that Vehippel had just given him.

It's his picture.

In the photo from a long, long time ago, he was lying asleep on the balcony in the room deep in the Golden Palace, and half of the textbooks of the Department of Mechanical Engineering were placed beside him, with the key points outlined in black pen.Wearing Valhalla's white military uniform vest and shorts, barefoot.
