into the sheath

When Tang Heng boarded the aircraft and went to the transfer station with Jiang Feng, he still felt a little unreal.

Three days ago, as soon as the guide gave the reason of "staying in the main city to handle affairs", the reminder light on the terminal in his hand lit up.Tang Heng was kicked out of the study room under Jiang Feng's silent gaze. He thought he would lose the possibility of discussing it, but he never thought that he would be called in again about ten minutes later.

Jiang Feng asked him if he really wanted to go with him, Tang Heng answered yes of course.

And then, three days later, he was sitting in the aircraft, with Xiao Chen, whom he hadn't seen for many days, in the pilot seat, and Jiang Feng, who was looking down at the screen, beside him.

The aircraft flew along the airway at low altitude, drove out of the tower, passed through the bustling urban area, all the way south, and finally came to the outskirts of the city.

Tang Heng looked out from the porthole and silently wrote down the driving route.

This place is a well-known no-fly zone in the main city. It is usually inaccessible, and there are not many people at this time.Looking around, at the end of the line of sight is a city with towering buildings, and a little closer there are only a few large factories, bungalow-style buildings, surrounded by one-story walls.Maybe it's because of the daytime, it's hard to tell whether those factories are still in operation, and being inside the completely soundproof aircraft, you can't hear any noise.

All this made the area seem more and more empty and deserted.

As usual, a strict identity check is required for the aircraft to land at the entrance. After the aircraft rose again, and drove a certain distance, Tang Heng couldn't help asking Jiang Feng: "Is there anything here that deserves a strict identity check? I don't see anything Especially, not even as good as the Third Tower."

"Ah."

Jiang Feng glanced out of the porthole in response, without saying anything, he lowered his head leisurely and continued to read the military affairs report in his hand.

This is not the first time Tang Heng's question has been ignored, but this time, he suddenly felt a little irritable.

"Hey, talk."

Jiang Feng looked up at him.

After looking at each other, Tang Heng felt awkward again, "... Forget it, just watch yours."

He touched his nose, avoided looking away, and looked out the window again.

At this time, the change of scenery outside the porthole stopped.The hovering aircraft slowly adjusted its angle, and then drove into an entrance ahead.Soon, the light was left behind, and it was pitch black outside the porthole, only the fluorescent lights that were constantly regressing remained to guide the forward route.

This is a downward tunnel, and the aircraft drives into it, as if it broke straight into the gullet of some kind of monster.

The sudden darkness made Tang Heng clenched his fists involuntarily. At a certain moment, he even felt that he even heard the roar of his Quantum Beast in the mental image.Tang Heng pursed his lips, and his gaze inadvertently turned to Jiang Feng's direction.

The dim light from the screen was very conspicuous in the dark, illuminating half of the guide's side face.

Tang Heng's eyes on Jiang Feng paused for a moment, and then quickly moved away.He turned his head to look outside again, seemingly unintentionally asking, "Where does this lead?"

"Transfer station."

"So it hasn't arrived yet?" Jiang Feng's glance at him was not seen, Tang Heng only frowned and said, "It's so troublesome. I thought it was the one outside."

"It's a protection for the 'unknown'."

"Oh, I just wanted to cover it up."

While speaking, his eyes slowly adapted to the brightness.

In the vision where the threshold is pulled down to an extremely low level, there are details that quietly emerge.On the porthole glass, half is the indicating fluorescent light that hastily slipped by, and the other half is the scene inside the cabin.The screen in Jiang Feng's hand was completely closed at some point, and Tang Heng could see that the guide was looking in his direction at this time, his gaze was quiet and steady, as if he was enjoying a scene in a skewed world with him. meteor.

In an instant, the slight noise of the aircraft engine also disappeared, and everything fell silent.

Tang Heng slowly loosened his clenched fist for a long time.A long and deep sigh quietly escaped.

Jiang Feng couldn't see the change in Tang Heng's expression at this time, and only the stiff outline of the sentry's back remained in his vision.The indicator light of the terminal in his hand lit up again. As usual, it should be a military report or an important letter.

At this time, Jiang Feng heard Tang Heng ask him: "What will a sentinel like me be sent to in Target City?"

In the darkness, the guide's voice was a bit impersonal and cold, "Perform some cleaning tasks."

"...Could it be me?"

"will not."

"Would that be your fault?"

Jiang Feng paused, "Probably not."

"Oh."

After answering this, Tang Heng remained silent.He no longer looked out of the window, nor tried to capture anything else, but leaned against the back of the seat, closed his eyes, and his exaggerated breath was quietly restrained, as if the whole person was plunged into the darkness.

In this temporary silence, Jiang Feng moved his finger on the terminal.He didn't turn it on to check, but the reminder light was still on, and the dark green light flickered, reflecting the fluorescent light outside the porthole.

After a while, Jiang Feng heard himself sigh softly.

He moved his finger and pressed to turn off the reminder light.

Jiang Feng said to Tang Heng: "Come here, I will give you spiritual counseling."
