Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal

Shen Qiran seemed to be frozen, not daring to move.

He stared at the name that kept flashing on the screen without even daring to blink his eyes. The pleasant ringtone rang for a long time in the silent night until he hung up automatically because no one answered for too long.

The screen returned to the original screensaver interface, and Shen Qiran's screensaver picture was a photo taken with Shao Xing before.On the screen, the two people look at each other and smile, even if the relationship between the two has not been finalized at that time, the sweetness and joy without words can be felt through the screen.

It was only two weeks ago that the two of them took a group photo, but looking back now, it seems that a century has passed.

Shen Qiran gave a wry smile, his eyes were full of bitterness.

At that time, I never thought that it was not only the first time they took a photo together, but it might also be... the last time.

Suddenly, the melodious ringtone broke the silence again, and the name "Shao Xing" flashed on the screen again, persistently shaking.

Shen Qiran's breathing became short of breath, he really wanted to connect immediately, but he really didn't dare to.Esther's order was still in his ears, and Shen Qiran was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he couldn't help but inquire about Shao Xing's whereabouts.

That person trusted him so much, even surpassed a lifetime of hatred, and handed over his sincerity and trust to himself. Could it be that he wanted to repeat the mistakes of the original owner and let Shao Xing experience another betrayal?

The vibration of the smart phone never stopped. After the second time, no one answered the phone and automatically hung up. Soon, it rang again for the third time.

The other party's determination to call was so firm, Shen Qiran gritted his teeth, he got up and spread out the quilt, leaned against the head of the bed, pretending to have just been woken up from sleep, took the smartphone and pressed the call button.

The holographic image was projected, and a figure that hadn't been seen for a week appeared vividly in front of him.

"Sorry, I woke you up." Shao Xing's first words were an apology.

He knew that it was late at night in the capital, but this opportunity to call was hard-won. If he missed it, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next time, so even though he knew it would disturb the other party's rest, he still chose to call.

"Fortunately, I just slept for a while." Shen Qiran managed to squeeze out a smile, his eyes lingering on Shao Xing's face.He felt that Shao Xing seemed to be a little haggard, and it was really not that easy to improve his spiritual power. Even with the aura of the protagonist, the process would consume a lot of energy.

"Why did you suddenly communicate with me?" Shen Qiran asked, "I thought you would not be able to communicate with the outside world until you were promoted."

"According to the rules, it should be so." Like Shen Qiran, Shao Xing's gaze remained on his lover's face, unwilling to move away for a second, "But I really want to see you."

Shen Qiran's hands buried in the quilt were tightly curled up. He saw Shao Xing looking at him deeply. The long-distance call was limited by the magnetic field, and the voice was a little distorted, but the love overflowing from the other party's words was gentler than the most beautiful night.

"I miss you very much, Qi Ran."

The strength she had been struggling to support was broken in an instant, and the lingering longing and the suppressed pain were entangled together, and Shen Qiran's eyes became moist in an instant.

"I...I miss you too."

In fact, he didn't want Shao Xing to worry, and he didn't want to make himself look too fragile and useless, but the tears poured out so unbelievably, more and more, more and more violently, with grievances that could not be expressed and grievances that were difficult to resolve Confused, completely submerged him.

"Shao Xing, I really miss you very much." He cried so hard, "I miss you so much, I really miss you so much, when will you come back? How long will I have to wait for you?"

The person in the holographic image subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to wipe away the tears on his lover's face, but the illusory image just passed through the other person's body in vain, and they still couldn't touch each other after all.

"Sorry." Shao Xing felt extremely uncomfortable, every tear from the other party was like a thorn in his heart, but he was really helpless, "I'm sorry, I don't know when I can go back... Sorry, Qiran ,Really sorry."

"You, don't apologize, and you don't need to apologize," Shen Qiran wiped the tears off his face in embarrassment, his eyes and nose were red from crying, "I just, just couldn't control my emotions for a while, don't be influenced by me, You, you have to do well there, you must, must be promoted successfully, don't rush back."

He was sobbing, rambling on and on a lot, after venting his depressed emotions, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.After his emotions finally stabilized, Shen Qiran immediately ran to the bathroom to wash his face, and sat back on the bed again.

"Sorry, I just..." He rubbed his eyes embarrassedly, "Did I embarrass you?"

The other party's forced smile made Shao Xing even more sad. He looked at the man's eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and promised again: "I will do my best to get back as soon as possible."

"Is everything going well with you?"

Shao Xing nodded: "It's okay."

"How did you feel when you were promoted?" Shen Qiran wanted to ask this question a long time ago, "Will it be very... Painful?"

"Rather than pain, it's more difficult." Shao Xing explained patiently, "Spiritual power above the SSS level has a great impact on the real world, so I want to enter a special closed device to maximize my mental power. I let it go out, take it back, put it out again, take it back again, and repeat it until it is condensed into a new sea of ​​spiritual consciousness. During this process, my spiritual power will confuse my perception of time and space, just like walking on the In the endless desert, I have to find the right path to condense successfully, otherwise I will get lost in the maze of time and space constructed by spiritual power and never come back.”

Shen Qiran opened his mouth wide. He thought that the promotion of mental strength would cause physical torture, but he didn't expect that the actual process would be more difficult and dangerous than he imagined.

"Is there no one who can help you during this process?" Shen Qiran couldn't help asking, "Dr. Langdon and the others are all there, aren't they here to help you and guide you?"

"Their main duty is to prevent my spiritual power from leaking out and causing serious impact on the real world." Shao Xing said, "The promotion process itself must all depend on me, and only myself."

Seeing that Shen Qiran's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was very worried, Shao Xing comforted him softly.

"You don't have to worry, I won't lose myself. Although I don't know the return date, I will definitely come back successfully." He paused slightly, "Because you are still waiting for me."

Shen Qiran couldn't help laughing, this was the first time he smiled from the bottom of his heart tonight: "Do you still want to say, when you think of me waiting for you, you will be full of strength and courage, even if there is a big You will work hard to overcome the difficulties?"

Shao Xing also smiled: "Most of the difficulties in this world can only be faced and solved by yourself. Others can't help you, but if you have an inseparable concern in your heart, no matter how difficult it is to move forward, there will always be one. There is a glimmer of hope for the way out, because the direction that person is in is the direction you want to go, relying on this obsession, you will never get lost."

Shen Qiran listened in a daze, and suddenly Langdon's voice came from over there: "Shao Xing, it's time."

Shao Xing turned his head in response, and looked at Shen Qiran again.

"Sorry, I'm leaving."

Shen Qiran nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where are you now? Are you far away from the king?" Without waiting for Shao Xing to answer, he immediately said, "After your promotion is successful, can I go there in person? Pick you up? Can I ask Dr. Langdon to pick me up then?"

When asking several questions at the same time, people will instinctively answer the one that is easiest to answer first. Shao Xing nodded: "Yes, there will be some signs when my promotion is coming to an end. I will let Langdon pick you up early."

The tense heart instantly relaxed, and Shen Qiran smiled: "Okay."

Seeing that Shao Xing seemed to want to say something more, he immediately said first: "Goodbye, go to work quickly, come on!"

Shao Xing finally gave him a reluctant look, nodded: "Goodbye, you also have to take care of your health, don't be too tired."

After the call ended, the holographic image disappeared, and the screen of the smartphone returned to the initial screen.Shen Qiran stared at the group photo of the two on the background of the screen. He didn't raise his head until the screen went dark, and turned his gaze out of the window again.

The night is as cool as water, and the moon tonight is hidden in the clouds, looming.Although the clouds will cover the light of the moon, after the clouds disperse, the bright moonlight still shines unselfishly and firmly on the ground, coating the sleeping earth with a layer of gentle moonlight.

Shen Qiran lay back on the bed, connected the smartphone with his earphones, called up his non-spiritual music library, and started playing it in a loop.

Accompanied by the beautiful and smooth music, he once again immersed his consciousness into his own sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, and landed on that isolated island.He wrapped the strange parasitic black egg with his own consciousness, and at the same time observed the color change of the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, which lasted all night.

When she opened her eyes again, the music in the earphones was still playing. Shen Qiran sat up and saw that the morning sun had illuminated the eastern sky, and the sleeping world opened her eyes again.

A new day has begun.

Aunt Mei was busy in the kitchen from downstairs, Shen Qiran got out of bed and went to the bathroom, washing her face with cold water.

When he raised his head, he looked at the person in the mirror. Because he hadn’t slept all night, the person in the mirror had red eyes and a tired look on his face, but the eyes projected by those eyes were powerful and resolute, with light brown eyes. In the depths of the pupil, there seemed to be a black flame burning quietly.

It seemed that Shao Xing's voice sounded in his ears again, and that person spoke a truth that he should have known long ago in a calm and breezy tone.

——Most difficulties in this world can only be faced and solved by yourself, and others can't help you.

Yes.

No one can help him, and no one can rely on, even if Shao Xing is by his side now, he can't know his plight.In this world, the only person who can save oneself in the end is himself.

Wiping her face clean with a towel, Shen Qiran walked out of the bathroom.He went to the bedroom window and opened it.The chirping birds, the voices of early risers, and the honking of vehicles on the street in the distance all flood into the room with bright sunlight.

What a living and real world this is.

I used to be so naive, thinking that as long as I keep a distance from this world, as long as I maintain the sobriety and independence of an outsider, I can protect myself wisely in the chaos between the two forces.In fact, looking back now, Esther's anomaly might be traceless, but I never thought about integrating into this world, and I never seriously observed and understood these "paper people", and in the end because of this " Arrogance” paid a heavy price.

That being the case, let him blend into this world.

This is no longer a foreign land, but his battlefield.He will use the means and methods of this world to win this lonely battle.

He must, must win.
