into the sheath

Tang Heng didn't answer immediately.

Freedom, a word that sounds a bit too "big".

Tang Heng believed that, for such and other purposes, perhaps Wen Jinghuan would have really chanted such slogans at the time; even now, even if those people still flaunted themselves like this, he would not find it strange, it was just a trick Just a high-sounding rhetoric.

The focus of Tang Heng's concern lies in other places - why does Mr. Shu know these things?

As if catching some movement, the cub's ears stood up quietly, and the tail behind him stopped swaying leisurely, but it was still lying down, its amber eyes covered in the half shadow cast by the armrest of the sofa.

"What happened next?" Tang Heng asked.

"Later, due to some reasons, the original plan was interrupted. The part related to the sentinel was modified many times and became the version you see today; as for the part about the guide..." Speaking of this, Mr. Shu left The corner of his lips twitched, as if in thought.He watched Tang Heng's eyes without too many fluctuations, and his sitting posture was correct, which made him more like a machine—or a substitute—generally following the script, "It is divided into many sub-projects. As for Mr. Wen What exactly were responsible, and what happened to them later, we don't know."

Tang Heng nodded. He didn't hesitate to ask questions, but turned his eyes to the storage device in Mr. Shu's hand, "Is there anything else in it that you can tell me?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"The names of the other three people who worked with Wen Jinghuan at that time?"

Mr. Shu smiled silently.

"Okay. Then..." Tang Heng sat up straight and clasped his fingers together.The name he was about to say made him hesitate, hesitant, and nervous for some unknown reason.

Tang Heng said: "Is there any relationship between Jiang Feng and what you said?"

Mr. Shu's expression remained unchanged: "He is Jiang Feng's teacher."

"..."

It seems that this person will not tell himself anything more.

Tang Heng stretched out his hand and rubbed his scalp hard with his fingertips, as if this could wipe away the sudden rising irritability, and then stood up.

"That's how it is," Tang Heng said, "I don't have anything else to say."

Mr. Shu also stood up together, "It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to meet with you, and I look forward to our future cooperation."

"Ah."

Tang Heng responded, and scribbled back to Mr. Shu's outstretched hand.

However, the moment he turned around, a flash of whiteness flashed from the corner of Tang Heng's eyes.Tang Heng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help looking in that direction.

In the corridor leading to the room where Mr. Shu took the memory storage just now, there stood a white goose-like bird with a long orange-red beak that made it completely different from the common poultry, and the black feathers on the wings were like A corner of the rock hidden in the snow.It walked tremblingly, as if looking for something, and disappeared into the corridor after a while.

It's a Quantum Beast.

Tang Heng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the cub without any trace.Sure enough, the lazy Dumb changed his prostrate posture, stood up and faced the corridor, lowered his head slightly, but he didn't look like he saw a threat.

Facing this scene, Tang Heng vaguely felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Shu asked.

"It seems that a bird flew in." Suppressing the small thoughts in his heart, Tang Heng pretended to raise his chin casually, and signaled, "Here, it's over there."

"Really? Maybe I got lost."

Mr. Shu was justly surprised, but until Tang Heng left, he didn't even look in the direction he said.

……

Tang Heng hasn't had a dream for a long time, and the last time he had it seemed to be before the "sugar" incident broke out.

Let's talk to Jiang Feng after waking up, he thought in his heart, hoping it won't be another omen of something bad going to happen.

In the dream, it was an afternoon no different from usual.Silky clouds float lazily on the somewhat grayish blue sky, and the leaves cast shadows with unclear outlines, and it seems that the rustling sound of the breeze blowing by can be heard.

Then, a voice came from behind Tang Heng.

"Xiaoheng, come here."

Tang Heng was taken aback.The familiar voice made him immediately recognize the identity of the speaker, and in a daze, without even giving him a chance to deliberate and speculate, the perspective has already turned.

"...Principal." Tang Heng heard himself answering, and a boy's voice sounded, hard.

This is a memory I experienced.

The place where the gaze falls is clearly drawn.In a corner of the atrium of the orphanage, because it was time for a lunch break, the surroundings were quiet. The lights of the teacher's room not far away were extinguished, and the window revealed an empty indoor scene.The person who spoke was standing in this background board, his face was blurred; or maybe, the word "blur" was not used accurately, it was like looking at a jigsaw puzzle that was broken up, Tang Heng could see clearly Every piece of scattered fragments, but they couldn't piece together the final and complete appearance - the image of the man called "Dean".

But it shouldn't be, Tang Heng thought, he remembered the appearance of that person.

The man came closer again, as if reaching out to pat Tang Heng on the shoulder.The boy's height is always raised very quickly, and the line of sight is almost parallel.

Even so, I still can't see the appearance clearly.

The man asked, "How are you getting along with your Quantum Beast? Time to give it a name."

"Already selected, called..."

Probably because he was ashamed to align his teeth, the young man's voice at the end of the sentence was small and indistinct.

It is called "big head".Tang Heng thought to himself.He already knew which memory it was.

Sure enough, amidst the person's rising questioning tone, the boy repeated the word: "'big head'."

With a bit of gnashing of teeth.

I don't know if it was because of the tone of the speech or the content of the answer, the man was amused.He stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of "Tang Heng", and then said, "It's not bad, it's a cute name."

The young man struggled with this for a long time, and as soon as the topic came up, he couldn't help complaining: "It's terrible. Which Sentinel's Quantum Beast would be called this name, and it will be laughed at when it is introduced..."

The man listened very carefully, even though he couldn't distinguish his face clearly in the dream, he could still feel the gaze cast on him by Dao Xuxu.

When the boy's confession finally came to an end, the man said softly: "Xiao Heng, Quantum Beast has a different language system from ours. Maybe the words represented by this syllable have other meanings? As your closest partner in the future, you can Go ask it what it thinks. Moreover, I also know such a person, and his quantum beast’s name is also very uncommon.”

"is it him?"

"Yes."

The man affirmed this reference, as if it was tacit understanding.He cast his eyes forward, as if he was looking at something further away through this building.

"It's obviously a majestic white tiger, and he's also a cool guy, but he has such a cute name..."

The gentle voice echoed leisurely in the sunlight. A pelican with white background and black border stood quietly beside the flower bed, its neck half-hidden by its back feathers, as if it was taking a nap, while the cub was hiding in the classroom door not far away. Behind the half-closed door, quietly looking in this direction...

Tang Heng woke up from the dream.

His breathing was a little heavy, and the warmth of the afternoon sun seemed to remain on his skin. He obviously didn't do anything, but felt that his heart was beating too fast.

Tang Heng raised his eyes and stared blankly at the white ceiling, the voice of "Mr. Shu" echoed in his head.

--it's me.

——How much do you know about the Dark Sentinel?

—I'm curious where you got such detailed information, but you don't need to tell me.

——It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to meet with you, and I look forward to our future cooperation.

--Yeah?Maybe I got lost.

……

His thoughts stopped abruptly, and Tang Heng sat up abruptly.

He finally understood why he felt familiar: the bird that had appeared in the corridor was also a pelican.

— Exactly the same as in the memory!
