Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Vein: This is the first time I've heard of...

I always thought... ah, nothing.

Flo: Just kidding, really.

That, Mr. Tai, here now?

Ti: As you can see, it looks like this.

I can't bear to leave it alone in desolation.

So I'll just sit here all day, Old Bones, and I'm free anyway, very comfortable.

Vein: Does your family care about it?

excuse me.

The old man's eyes lit up, and his wrinkled face suddenly overflowed with radiance.

He suddenly got excited, clapped his hands, and laughed loudly:

Ti: Family?Ha ha!What it is?

Oops, I didn't want to annoy you, sorry, little brother!

He stretched his hand back, and he could precisely pull the latch open without looking back for confirmation.

The door is really rusted to bad shape, creaking, and the sound is harsh.

Once it was opened wide, the cool wind that swished inside would blow out.

Ti: Are you going to go in and have a look?You're welcome.

Want to see when, although enough!

The elder brother beside him nodded gratefully, grabbed his hand and rushed in impatiently.

Flo couldn't resist, so he could only let it go.He stopped after running more than ten meters, and covered his ears on both sides with his hands in pain.

Flo: Brother?

Vein: No, nothing.

That old guy has a really... loud voice.

Flo: Nothing has changed.

In the past, if everyone was disobedient, they would be fined to listen to him study within half a meter.

... Torture.

He had received this punishment before, and Flo was particularly impressed: within three days after receiving the punishment, everything he read was filled with the contents of Mr. Tai's reading.

It did take him some effort to survive that period of mental pollution, but...

Vein: Mmm...

Now, Flood.

Flo: Huh?

Vein: Growing up here... what was it like?

I thought it was miserable and humble before, but I can only describe it as tragedy...sorry.

But listening to it this way, it doesn't seem that miserable, at least Mr. Tai is very gentle.

Flo: I think about it.

Mr. Tai is very gentle, there is no denying that.

But not all the time by his care.

Vein: Really.he……

Bang!

The door behind him was slammed shut.

With this loud noise, the only light source disappeared.

Looking at it just now, the room is quite empty, and there is no accumulation of debris in a large area.

Sudden loud noises always startled Flo quickly, squinting his eyes to make out the scene in the dark.

Flo: (Mr. Ty...why.)

Brother, are you okay...Brother?

He was not far away, and he didn't get separated because of the darkness.

Strangely, the eldest brother suddenly said nothing, and found out that he seemed to be sitting on the ground.

Vein: No... nothing.

Leave me alone, go...to find the light...quickly...

The voice is also very weak?

Of course, Flo would not feel at ease if he was just left like this, at least he had to know the reason for this change.

Is it because of the light? Right now, this speculation is the most likely.

Flo: How could I just walk away like that.

what is going on?Please explain clearly.

Vein: Hah...it's... black, so.

I...I don't want to talk, hurry up...

Flo swallowed, confessed, and walked away, following his orders, to find a new light source.

Flo: (The door was closed by Mr. Tai. When he came here, he seemed to be very familiar with Big Brother.)

(It stands to reason that Mr. Ty knows that Big Brother can be weird in dark times.)

(...But, what is the purpose? Does he have the need to confront the big brother.)

By feeling, Flo followed the direction he came little by little.

There are no debris around, and it is not easy to fall when walking, but at the same time, there are no signs that can indicate the direction.

Even though it was only a straight line of more than ten meters, it took him quite a while before he finally touched the door panel.

Flo tries to knock on the door and calls out:

Flo: Mr. Ty, Mr. Ty?

Are you still there?open the door, please?

No answer.

Flo: (...in that case.)

Standing with his feet apart, Flo rubbed his hand against the cold door for a moment, estimating the distance and the force required.

He took a deep breath, tensed for an instant, and punched hard at the iron door with one fist.

Bang-!

The movement was even more terrifying than when the door was closed, and the air in the room couldn't help trembling.

Creaking, the hinges groaned again, and light leaked through the cracks.

The light expanded more and more, and with the crash of the iron door, there was light in the room again.

On the iron gate, there was a big hole in the part that was hit. Flo looked at the hole, then at his hands.

A little redness, that's all.He clenched his fist, feeling that there was still unfinished strength in his hand, and he slammed on the door frame.

Bang bang bang bang—it seems to be broken, the frame becomes distorted, but it can still support it for the time being.

Flo: (Haah...it feels refreshing.)

Brother, how are you doing?

In three steps and two, he ran back to his elder brother. As long as the light shines, the elder brother will be much more normal.

He was silent, looking at the poor door from a distance, and then turned his gaze back, staring at himself with complicated eyes.
