Ann would always say something strange that I couldn't understand. He said that his full name was not only Ann, but the pronunciation was completely different from that of Hunter World.

He taught me once, I tried to imitate his pronunciation and said it, and he laughed happily.

"Sure enough, teaching foreigners to speak Chinese is very strange!"

I tugged at his sleeve and asked in confusion, "What is Chinese?"

Ann's laughter gradually stopped, and she looked into the distance with a look that I couldn't understand at the time: "It's the language of my hometown."

Later I realized that the emotion contained in that kind of eyes is called longing.

"Where is Ann's hometown? I want to go." I took it for granted that the hometown he mentioned must be outside Meteor Street, "We can go there by airship."

An Puchi laughed, and his tone was very gentle: "It's so far away that even an airship can't reach it."

I opened my eyes wide, not expecting it to be so far away.

But I changed my mind again, the airship can't reach the Dark Continent, maybe An is also from other continents.

"Then why did Ann come to Meteor Street from such a far place?" I hugged my knees and tilted my head to look at him.

"Of course it's for—"

He grinned brightly and pointed to Jimmy who was sitting by the window grilling meat behind him, "Meet Jimmy."

Jimmy: "It's disgusting, don't take me."

An's smile remained unchanged, and she turned her wrist, pointing at the knight squatting in the waste electronic parts: "Meet the knight."

Knight: "Huh? Yes. But Ann, some parts are missing, and I can't assemble what I want."

The big hand that turned slightly turned suddenly landed on my head, I raised my face and looked at his crooked eyebrows and eyes through my fingers, as if there were tiny spots of light taking root in his eyes, paving out a shining river of stars .

"Most importantly, meet the cutest Anna."

……

……

really?

Am I... the most important thing?

Countless strange emotions suddenly surged from my chest, pounding my beating heart repeatedly, and the corners of my mouth raised uncontrollably.

I'm so glad.

The happiness that cannot be described in words at all.

She rushed forward into An's arms, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, buried her head in his chest and rubbed vigorously, her voice was full of joy that could not be concealed.

"So is Ann! He is my most important person!"

He hugged me in his arms with a smile, "Really? That's my honor."

I was so excited that my cheeks were flushed, and I raised my head and was about to say something more, when I saw Jimmy holding the skewers and looking at me with disdain.

Jimmy: "Ouch."

Xia Ke also crawled out from the pile of parts, went to Jimmy and grabbed a skewer, took a bite and said: "It's really disgusting."

The skewered wooden stick swayed and pointed at me precisely.

hateful.

These two bastards.

I glared at them bitterly, and buried my head back in Ann's arms depressedly: "Ann just likes me, and leave those two bastards alone."

Jimmy: "Stop talking."

Knight: "I can't eat meat anymore."

I jumped up instantly: "I'll kill you now!"

"Ha... haha... don't tear down the house..." An reluctantly rubbed her forehead, and whispered to herself, "But it should be a good thing for children to be more lively?"

boom!

A big hole was smashed into the roof that had just been repaired.

install:"……"

Ann: "Get out of here!"

……

……

The slight sound of fluttering wings startled me, and my absent-minded eyes gradually returned to reality. When I moved my gaze down, I saw a small bird stopping in front of me to comb its feathers.

It has a sandy yellow body with black cheeks and tail, and the outer rings of its wings are also black.

"Are there any birds here, too?"

A male voice suddenly sounded behind him, and the bird immediately flapped its wings and flew away, quickly turning into small sandy yellow dots in the air, and then getting farther and farther away.

"It's Mo Ji Niao." I turned my head and looked at Xia Youjie, who was a bit embarrassed. "It's a small bird that mainly lives in the Gobi Desert."

After a pause, I added: "It's delicious when baked."

Xia Youjie: "..."

His hairstyle, messed up from previous battles, looks uncomfortably disheveled, and he's holding a rubber band in his mouth and holding his long hair behind his head with his hands.

"You're improving quickly, and you don't seem to be injured at all." I scanned his blood-stained parts and commented.

"Well, I felt it myself." Xia Youjie said calmly, "From a big hole in the abdomen to countless small holes in the whole body."

……yes?

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was being sarcastic or telling the truth, so he simply ignored it.

I asked curiously: "Can the reversal technique restore the lost blood?"

"can."

"It's so convenient, I want to learn too."

He thought for a while and said, "You're using something called reading ability, you can't learn it if it's not mantra."

"Yeah, I can't learn it." Staring at him enviously, I sighed, "Am I right? You will become stronger. Are you especially grateful to me now?"

Xia Youjie: "...Thank you."

Indeed, I have learned a lot, even learned the reversal technique, this thank you is due.

But strangely, it doesn't seem to be particularly grateful.

He looked away and changed the subject: "Why do the birds that live in the Gobi Desert appear here?"

"Didn't I say that?" I turned my gaze to the distant Meteor Street, "Outside Meteor Street is the desert and the Gobi Desert."

In the barren land of 10,000+ square kilometers, the sandstorm that may roll up at any time completely isolates Meteor Street from the outside world.

This is a completely unfamiliar world to Xia Youjie, so naturally, he would also be curious about places other than Meteor Street.

"What's it like outside?"

"There are prosperous places, and there are very ordinary places." I searched my memory carefully, and said decisively, "But there is no place more special than Meteor Street."

Xia Youjie: "..." Needless to say, I know it.

"Do you want to go outside and have a look?" I changed to sit cross-legged and looked at him with my face in one hand.

He looked around at the dilapidated old buildings nearby, nodded and said, "If possible."

"Well, there is no airship coming today, so we can't snatch it."

"……Rob??"

I blinked: "I can only use your spell to fly out."

At this moment, the sorcerer who can manipulate spell spirits didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so he directly agreed: "Yes."

I groaned, and added: "Take out your storage magic spirit again, and fill it with food and water."

A bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart: "Why do you need to bring supplies, is it far away?"

"It takes ten hours for the airship to go to the nearest city, and it takes about ten hours for Ju Lingfei to reach the nearest small town."

"...Ten hours?"

"Yes. Also, you will sit in the front later."

"Can I ask why?"

I sighed and said truthfully, "It's going to be very windy."

Xia Youjie: "..." Thank you for your honesty.

……

……

Xia Youjie never imagined that one day he would control the magic spirit to fly across thousands of kilometers of desert, and would sometimes have to detour to avoid the coming storm.

Someone behind occasionally complained with regret: "It's another detour, and it will take longer."

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said in a low tone, "If you complain any more, you will go down."

I didn't make a sound anymore, and wrapped myself in a thick coat and lay sideways on the back of the curse spirit.

My ears are full of noisy wind, chaotic and chaotic, so noisy that I can't sleep at all, but it can calm my heart down.

I didn't feel anything special until the black slime reappeared, but now it's back, and it's back to its nasty start.

Gone was the potato that had been with me for so long and would joke with me, replaced by this nasty thing that called itself the Evil of Mankind.

From that moment on, I suddenly didn't like the quiet environment.

If it's too quiet, I feel...

A little lonely.

……

……

After more than ten hours of sleepless nights, I finally arrived at a sparsely populated town. It is now eight o'clock in the morning, and there are no shops open yet.

Stretching my stiff limbs, I sighed quietly: "It's really hard for me."

With faint dark circles under his eyes, Xia Youjie said speechlessly, "Who is working so hard?"

"This is the town where people from Meteor Street arrived first, so it is also the most chaotic, and robberies often occur."

I yawned, "If you want to see a more prosperous city, you have to fly for a while."

He resolutely refused: "No need."

"Then go to Long Nose's tavern and sit for a while." I took the lead and led the way.

sit for a while?Are you going somewhere else?

Xia Youjie's question turned around in his mind, but he didn't ask, but just followed.

Turn into a narrow alley, climb over the high wall with spikes, and then remove the iron box blocking the way, revealing the password locked door hidden behind.

After entering the password, the red light on the door lock instantly turned green. When I pushed the door in, I turned around and told Xia Youjie: "Bring the iron box back, or the long nose will get angry."

So Xia Youjie summoned two curse spirits to carry the box.

After passing through the dark corridor, a small door was drilled, and the lobby of the tavern was in sight. The area was not particularly large, but there were various kinds of alcohol on the wall.

I walked to the counter with ease, took out a bottle of carbonated drink from below, and glanced at the production date: "Well, it hasn't expired."

Xia Youjie seemed a little shocked: "Why are there drinks in the tavern?"

"It's specially prepared for me, I'm a regular customer." I took out two cups from the disinfection cabinet, "What do you want to drink? Wine? Juice?"

...so why do taverns still have juice?

He didn't want to complain anymore, he said weakly: "Juice, thank you."

After setting up the glass, I pushed the juice in front of Xia Youjie to signal him to pour it himself, then filled my own glass with carbonated drinks, lay on the table and stared at the transparent bubbles in the glass that kept surfacing and then exploded gently.

Xia Youjie took a sip of juice: "Are you here to take a rest?"

I shook my head and continued to stare at the bubbles in the glass: "No. I was planning to take you to the Sky Arena, but now I don't have time, so I just came here for a drink."

"Why don't you have time?" He reached out to get another cup, but unexpectedly found it empty.

Taking a closer look, I found that my hand had become transparent and went straight through the glass.

"Because you're going back." I turned my head to look at him, "It's time."

He withdrew his hand and saw his strange appearance in the mirror on the wall: "...unbelievable."

I stared at him and asked abruptly, "Have you remembered the rules of Meteor Street? Will it turn the society over there into Meteor Street?"

Xia Youjie looked at me silently for a long time before replying, "I remember, but I won't."

"Really, then I'm at a big loss." I lowered my eyes, pecking at my drink in small sips.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if the society doesn't change, I don't care that much anymore." I raised the corners of my mouth, with a malicious light in my eyes, "You might really be able to kill all ordinary people when you go back now, come on."

"..." He looked down at his increasingly transparent hands, and asked suddenly, "If a monster appeared on Meteor Street one day, would you protect ordinary people?"

"I will shoot, but not to protect people." I put down the glass and looked directly at him, "I want to protect that piece of land, my hometown."

"Meteor Street people don't need protection. They will also give their lives for the land under their feet. Don't use your society to measure the paranoid and pure feelings of Meteor Street people."

Xia Youjie was taken aback, "Sorry."

The figure disappeared completely.

Holding the glass in both hands, I lowered my eyebrows and muttered, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't waste the fragments..."

……

……

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the whole person suddenly appeared on the bustling street in the center of Tokyo. No one in the crowd noticed that there was an extra person here for no reason.

After Xia Youjie landed, he staggered for a moment, and managed to recover from the weightlessness. When he looked up, he saw the shop he had been to, and his pupils dilated slightly.

The passers-by around had indifferent expressions on their faces, and no one cared about his gaffe.

back to... this world...

The fist hanging by his side was clenched violently, and the thoughts that had faded in Meteor Street floated again uncontrollably.

Putting your eyes aside to look at the crowded crowd, emptying your mind, walking aimlessly, nothing can fit in your dark eyes, until you stop in front of a familiar door.

He stopped in his footsteps, turned his head to look reflexively, his eyes froze suddenly.

"Xia You... House...?"

Did he... subconsciously walk home...?

The whole person stood in front of the house in a daze, staring at the house that carried all his memories of growing up.

White exterior walls, red tiles.

He is very familiar with all the structures in the house. Entering the door is the entrance, walking through the short corridor is the living room, turning right and walking a few steps is the dining room, and going straight to open the door is the kitchen.

Every time he came home from college, he could see his mother busy in the kitchen.

……

Make him his favorite food.

this place……

his parents……

It is the last fetter between him and ordinary people.

What are parents doing now?

They should be sleeping at home, they don't know anything, neither that he is back now nor what will happen.

If this disappears...

There will be no more hesitation for ordinary people.

in case……

As if possessed by a demon, black magic power gushed out from his fingertips continuously, and his pitch-black eyes locked on the house in front of him.

until--

"Jay?"

Xia Youjie woke up suddenly, the magic power on his fingertips collapsed, and he turned his head stiffly: "...Huh?"

The haggard woman opened her eyes a little bit, and took a trembling step forward as if in disbelief, only to find that Xia Youjie hadn't disappeared, so she dared to believe that what she saw was not a hallucination.

She stared closely at Xia Youjie, her lips trembling uncontrollably, and her eyes quickly turned red.

Throwing away the bag directly, striding over, waved suddenly——

"Snapped!"

He slapped Xia Youjie hard.

His head was tilted suddenly, and Qingjun's face quickly turned red and swollen. As if he hadn't reacted, he still maintained the posture of being hit with his head tilted, and then his body was suddenly hugged by his mother.

"Where did you go! Three months! Why didn't you want to contact us for three whole months?!"

Mother cried out in pain.

……

...has it been three months?

Xia Youjie stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the ground, letting his mother hug him and cry bitterly.

He disappeared for three full months, and his mother almost called the police, but was stopped by Teacher Noctua.

No matter how you make up an excuse, it's not appropriate, Teacher Ye Mo told the truth to her mother, telling her what Xia Youjie has been doing all this time, and then she was yelled at by her collapsed mother.

"Why should a child be burdened with such a heavy burden of humanity!"

Teacher Ye Mo was speechless and could only bear her anger silently.

Later, my mother quit her job and went to the high school every day to wait for him to come back. She worked tirelessly from morning till night.

……

……

"Why don't you want to tell mom if it's painful!"

"Isn't Mom worthy of trust?!"

"Mom... Mom is an adult! Jie! Why don't you want to say it!"

……

……

"Why...why make yourself so sad?"

"Jie...don't hurt yourself, mom can help you too...even if it's just a trivial comfort..."

……

……

Xia Youjie stared at the dense white hair on the back of his mother's head in a daze.

One, two, three...

So many, too many to count...

When did it become so many?

By the way, when was the last time he was home?half year ago?a year ago?

……

Can not remember.

He laughed silently, his eyes suddenly blurred, and his throat choked.

"I'm so tired……"

I don't want to stick to my previous beliefs anymore, and I can't hold on anymore.

Whether it's saving people or whatever, I don't want to do any more.

"I don't want to do it anymore." Words suddenly came out of his parched throat.

That's weird.

Why on earth did he set foot on the road of a conjurer in the first place?

……

Is it because you don't want the curse spirit to harm ordinary people?

His mother held his hand firmly, many fine lines appeared on her aging cheeks, but those bright eyes remained firm for ten years: "Quit!"

"We're going to drop out of school now! You don't need to take on these things anymore!"

……

Quit school.

It is mother who will make such a decision.

Xia Youjie blinked, and the moist heat gradually filled his eyes. He smiled with the corners of his mouth open, raised his face, and tried his best not to let the tears fall.

"it is good."

The warm light of winter is bright but not dazzling, covering everyone gently, almost melting in such a soft embrace.

He raised his hand and carefully embraced his mother's shoulders. The bones under his palm were so fragile that they could be broken with a little force.

……

Why are you so skinny.

It shouldn't be like this, she should be healthier.

The mother was still crying and held his hand tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear in front of her eyes again in the next second.

Hot tears pattered down on the back of Xia Youjie's hands, splashing countless water that pierced his heart.

Xia Youjie's trembling breath suddenly suffocated.

don't cry...

Mom, don't cry.

The vague memories of my childhood were suddenly wiped away from the dust that blocked my eyes, and suddenly became vivid, together with the vows I made at the beginning, they clearly emerged in my heart.

Then gave him a slap in the face.

The chaotic brain became clearer than ever.

……

I remembered.

He remembered it all.

Eyelids lowered in embarrassment, the heat in the eye sockets was squeezed into tears, tremblingly hanging on the edge of the eyelashes.

"Sorry……"

At first he decided to learn spells, not to protect ordinary people at all.

"Mother……"

Just simply, I don't want to see my mother cry because of him anymore.

……

"sorry."

The author has something to say: the last slap is for my mother

Brother Jie’s plot basically ends here. If he wants to write, he can actually write again. His idea has not been completely given up, but it is already very long, so forget it. I will leave it to my family to solve it. This is what I can give His tenderest ending yet.
