Dawn [Sword Three System]

17 years later, the town of Burrell

The mottled arrow-shaped iron plate in front of him marked the direction of Burrell Town, Ren Tianzhu stared at it quietly, and then walked forward in the direction indicated by the arrow.There are only his footprints alone on the snowy road, which continues from the entrance of the town to the old residence.Ren Tianzhu paused at the door for a while, then turned around.

The field of vision is full of familiar scenes, which are memories that the dilapidated buildings cannot wash away.As if a smiling neighbor would come to say hello in the next second, Ren Tianzhu just stood there quietly.

After a long time, he turned and pushed the door open.

The first thing that caught his eye was the small round table placed against the corner of the wall. Even though it was covered with dust, it still looked familiar to him.His eyes swept over the other things in the house, but nothing changed.

Ren Tianzhu skillfully turned left, walked around the half wall that blocked his view, and came to the bedroom behind.There was a messy quilt on the narrow single bed, which he hadn't had time to fold.Ren Tianzhu stood in front of the bed for a while, stretched out his hand to pick up a corner of the quilt, and pulled it off completely.A lot of dust was splashed when the quilt fell to the ground, dancing and flowing under the light coming in from the window, Ren Tianzhu didn't hide or cover his nose, he stood holding his breath until the dust settled.Then he followed the gourd drawing and tore off the single pillowcases one by one.

After completing these tasks, Ren Tianzhu clapped his hands and walked out of the bedroom.

There were still two days before the day they agreed to meet, Ren Tianzhu spent two nights here.

Two days later in the afternoon, the bright sun was shining on the earth, and Ren Tianzhu was sitting on the steps in front of his house.After a while, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Two people.

Realizing this, Ren Tianzhu stood up extremely quickly, and turned to face the direction of the footsteps.

At the corner of the third house, two masked men in cloaks stepped out.The one walking in front was half a head taller than the one behind, but Ren Tianzhu's energy was all concentrated on the short man behind.

The two walked in gradually. The tall man seemed to be apprehensive. He hesitated for a few seconds before pulling off the sackcloth covering his face. Then the other party showed a not-so-friendly smile.

"Meet you again, Major General Ren"

Ren Tianzhu gave a military salute to the opponent, "Lieutenant General Wei"

After the greeting, both sides fell silent at the same time.

Wei Qing's eyes quickly swept around, and finally stopped on Ren Tianzhu's face.Ren Tianzhu stared at the people behind Wei Qing from the beginning to the end, and only gave Wei Qing a symbolic glance when saying hello.

The short man stood silently, motionless since he stopped, and didn't even raise his drooping head.There was no greeting, no eye contact, but Ren Tianzhu almost saw through the other party.

Wei Qing on the side didn't stop this almost rude behavior, but a trace of disgust flashed across his young and pale face.

For a long time, both sides remained silent.

Until Ren Tianzhu said again: "Can... see him?" The voice was actually a rare forbearance.

Wei Qing's expression instantly became complicated. He didn't answer for a long time, and his slightly wrinkled eyebrows revealed deep hesitation.

A simple question made the two of them fall into silence again, but Ren Tianzhu's expression was extremely serious, and a sense of determination that must be won burst out from him.

Wei Qing hesitated for a while, then turned around, gently took off the hat of the person behind him, and then pulled off the cloth on the other person's face, revealing a expressionless, very immature face.

Ren Tianzhu took a breath and stared at this face, but after a few seconds, he said a little out of control: "He is not..."

Wei Qing interrupted decisively before he finished speaking, "He's not."

Ren Tianzhu returned to normal suddenly, as if the loss of control in the previous second had never happened, but his clenched fists secretly revealed his true emotions.After a long time, he finally let go of his fists and completely regained his composure.

Wei Qing seemed to have timed it right, and after Ren Tianzhu calmed down, he said slowly: "He... can only do this."

Ren Tianzhu's eyes suddenly turned to him.

"You don't have to look at me like that, if you want to blame it, you can blame your superiors..." Wei Qing smiled coolly, "You know their reaction. Ha ha... really opened my eyes"

Wei Qing didn't hide his extremely mocking tone, he just looked at Ren Tianzhu with a shallow mocking expression.

Ren Tianzhu didn't say anything.

Wei Qing seemed a little disappointed, but quickly changed into an indifferent expression, "According to the current conditions, it is already the limit to reach this level." Then, he stared into Ren Tianzhu's eyes and emphasized again: "Limit...do you understand what this means?"

Ren Tianzhu looked back and answered with his eyes.

Wei Qing paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to explain it. After a while, he spoke again: "He is not perfect. Under limited conditions, he can only maintain a superficial normality. Do you understand?"

Ren Tianzhu asked back: "Defective product?"

Wei Qing's originally relaxed expression turned cold instantly, "Pay attention to your words, he is not a finished product."

Ren Tianzhu didn't answer.

Wei Qing took a deep breath, and said to himself with half sarcasm and half pity: "I actually told you this... Really..."

After all, the latter words were not uttered, and the atmosphere suddenly returned to the initial silence.

And as time passed, the expressionless young man never moved. Ren Tianzhu stared at him for so long, only seeing him blink occasionally.

When the silence was broken again, it was a problem for Ren Tianzhu.

"what is his name?"

Wei Qing froze for a moment, subconsciously turned to look over.This 15-year-old child is like a doll in a store, quiet and well-behaved.At that moment, Wei Qing seemed to be stung by something, showing a sad expression that could not be concealed.He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the other person's hair, "Wei Bai, from now on, he will be called Wei Bai."

Ren Tianzhu didn't answer, but heard Wei Qing continue talking to himself: "Anyway, it's blank, let's call it this name..."

Then he turned his head, faced Ren Tianzhu, and said very seriously: "From now on, he will be handed over to you."

Ren Tian nodded.

Wei Qing turned to face Wei Bai again, and said softly in an extremely kind tone: "You have to listen to this uncle from now on, you know?"

Wei Bai finally had movements other than blinking, he slowly raised his head, his dark brown eyes looked at Ren Tianzhu without blinking.

At that moment, it seemed that something exploded in the chest cavity.Facing these indifferent and alienated eyes, Ren Tianzhu felt that he couldn't breathe for a while.

Time and space seem to have stopped at this moment, and a certain scene in the impression perfectly overlaps with this.

For a long time, Ren Tianzhu was immersed in this, and finally, he spoke again, but his voice was strangely solemn: "I will protect him"

This is not so much an answer as a promise.

A trace of surprise flashed in Wei Qing's eyes, but soon, he made up his mind.

The sound of "Ren Tianzhu" was no longer contemptuous and indifferent, Wei Qing stared at the other party closely.

Ren Tianzhu seemed to have received some hint, and quickly stood up in the most standard military posture, and his eyes became more determined.

"I know you're different from them." Wei Qing's voice fluctuated slightly, "Your choice is correct." Suddenly strong emotions surged in his eyes, and even his voice trembled slightly: " It's the end...I can't do it, we can't do it...only he..."

Wei Qing seemed to be aware of his gaffe, he tried his best to restrain himself, and showed an extremely ugly smile: "I will arrange him in, bring that crystal... must complete the task!"

These words seemed to consume all his energy, Wei Qing's face became extremely vicissitudes in an instant.

"Definitely!" Ren Tianzhu emphasized the word, and there was a trace of respect in his already serious expression.

Wei Qing smiled gratifiedly, and then became exhausted.

Ren Tianzhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much longer?"

Wei let out a soft breath, "How long do you want to ask?"

"crack"

Wei Qing didn't hide his true feelings anymore, his face was heavy, and he shook his head after careful consideration, "I can't give a specific time for this, when I come out, those guys are also working hard... ..." After finishing speaking, he smiled wryly, "The entire Academy of Sciences... is not worth one person..."

Ren Tianzhu thought for a while and asked again: "When are we going to leave?"

Wei Qing's expression froze for a moment, "Soon..." Then he lowered his head, his voice full of helplessness: "I can't control this, everything depends on your boss"

Ren Tianyi understood immediately, and then he stopped making a sound, and Wei Qing was also dumbfounded.

After a long time, the sun slanted to the west, Wei Qing looked up for a while, and said: "It's getting late... I... I'm leaving"

Ren Tianzhu quickly gave a military salute.

Wei Qing waved his hands, turned around, and fastened the linen covering his face again.He took two steps forward, then, as if remembering something, he turned around and shouted: "Wei Bai, goodbye." After speaking, he waved his hand.

Wei Bai stood there expressionless, without moving.

Wei Qing covered his face so that people couldn't see his expression, but his eyes showed a trace of reluctance, then he turned around and strode away.

When the figure of the other party was completely gone, Ren Tianzhu shifted his eyes and refocused his gaze on the person in front of him.

Wei Bai still kept his head up slightly, looking at him.

Ren Tianzhu watched in silence for a long time, stepped forward, and took off the opponent's cloak, revealing a standard military uniform.After watching in silence for a while, Ren Tianzhu asked, "Is it cold?"

Wei Bai didn't answer, nor showed any expression.

Ren Tianzhu thought for a while, and after saying "Come with me", he turned and walked into his house, and Wei Bai followed obediently.

Then that night, the other party had a fever... He was in a hurry.There was no running water in the room and no clean cloth.In the end, he finally found a bucket at a neighbor's house, went out to fill it with snow, and came back to help him cool down.

Everything seems like yesterday.

Ren Tian expelled God's memories.

As a result, they still officially set off 17 years later than at that time.

Another 17 years...

Just as he was thinking, Wei Bai in his arms moved.

Ren Tianzhu quickly lowered his head and asked softly, "Are you awake?"
