Has my wife lost her horse today?

During the short cut period of abilities, for Xu Youlan a year ago, it was a very busy period; but for Xu Youlan now, it is undoubtedly a rare quiet time.

Overactive supernatural energy is a boost for combat and cultivation for low-level supernatural beings.But for those with advanced abilities, it is the constantly shaking water surface when the embankment bursts.

It is also because of this that the short-cut period for those with abilities above the sixth level is more like a holiday.

Xu Youlan was rarely idle. Except for the occasional need to take time out to deal with some tasks of the Special Operations Department every day, there was no more work for the supernatural beings.

Of course, this is also due to the contribution of a certain captain who is still fighting on the post.

Xu Meng hadn't been able to find any good announcements recently, nor had he been able to find any new scripts suitable for Xu Youlan.Now Xu Youlan can be regarded as a famous person in the entertainment industry, so naturally he can't accept all the messy announcements and scripts, so he can only watch Xu Youlan relax so much.

Xu Youlan nestled at home reading a book, playing mobile phone and swiping Weibo, so comfortable that Qiu Xiaozhi, who was still in transit to catch up with his schedule, was so jealous that his eyes were red.

It's a pity that people who are used to being so busy all of a sudden feel a bit at a loss when they suddenly relax.

Xu Youlan was holding a book in his hand, his eyes fell on the paper, but his eyes gradually became empty.

...Qi Guang had specifically told her before that this time the special power shortcut period was extremely special. Although until now, her own power core had not been greatly affected, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.

It was as if there was something very important, but she couldn't remember it.

She was stunned for a while, then woke up by the sudden vibration of her phone.

Xu Youlan turned on the phone casually, glanced at it hastily, and found that it was a message from the Special Operations Department.

She threw away the book in her hand, and was just about to click on the message, but suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

Xu Youlan subconsciously locked the phone screen.

She was a little guilty.

So Xu Youlan hurried to the door, took a sticky kiss with Xie Xuan who had just entered, and asked coquettishly, "...Why did you come back so early today?"

"Why else?" Xie Xuan rubbed her little head, "Isn't it just to cook for you?"

"...Actually, I can do it myself..."

Xu Youlan just said something in such a low voice, but Xie Xuan stopped her and said, "Let's talk again? If you talk about it again, I really won't do it."

"Don't!" Xu Youlan's eyes widened suddenly, and just as she exclaimed, she saw the smile on Xie Xuan's lips, and immediately patted her arm lightly in anger.

"Okay," Xie Xuanshen pointed to her forehead, "Go wash your hands, and come over to chop vegetables later."

Xu Youlan leaned forward, made the finger poke harder, and responded simply: "Yes! Come right away!"

Watching Xie Xuan enter the kitchen, Xu Youlan took out the phone again and clicked on the message.

……

There was still a sweet smile on her face, but now it froze a little bit.

[Urgent notice from the Special Operations Department:

The captain of the first team of the Special Operations Department died due to official duties, and the position was vacant. The deputy captain of the first team was temporarily appointed as the captain.

In this task of the shortcut period of the ability...]

Xu Youlan froze in place in a daze, only feeling that the blood all over her body seemed to have cooled down at that moment.

...the captain of the first team?

……sacrifice?

The mobile phone in her hand was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that Xu Youlan could hardly lift her arms.

...Qi Guang?

Xu Youlan turned off the screen abruptly, threw the phone away like a snake and scorpion, and clenched her hands tightly.

She pretended to be calm and walked to the bathroom, lightly

The soft water flowed down the back of her palm.

That was obviously the feeling Xu Youlan was most familiar with, but at this moment, she felt that the cool water flow seemed to take away the temperature from her body.

She closed her eyes hard, then scooped up a handful of water and slapped it on her face.

Xu Youlan raised her head, and the cool water rolled down her cheeks and bridge of nose drop by drop.

……how can that be.

She must have read it wrong.

She opened her eyes in a daze, wiped the water off her face casually, and turned on the phone again.

[Urgent notice from the Special Operations Department:

The captain of the first team of the special operations department sacrificed due to official duties, and his position...]

...not the slightest change.

Xu Youlan stared blankly for a long time, as if suddenly lost all thinking ability, and could barely move his eyes.

A moment of silence.

Tears gushed out of his eyes uncontrollably and rolled down again.

……how can that be possible.

she thinks.

Although Qi Guang is not the most powerful ability user, even the ability level has not reached the sixth level.But she used to be a soldier, so Xu Youlan might not even be able to beat her by herself.

The ability of the thunder system is very powerful.

Xu Youlan remembered that when she first became a supernatural user, the low-level water-type supernatural beings were useless. Before she could use supernatural powers to create enough water, she had almost no ability to protect herself.

At that time she had not yet entered the Special Operations Branch.

It couldn't be easier for any elemental power user to kill the only talented third-level power user who just appeared in the world.

Xu Youlan herself couldn't remember exactly how many times she was attacked by supernatural beings during that period of confusion.

She only remembered that no matter what, there would always be a thunderstorm arriving in time, and the electric light would defeat those supernatural beings one by one with a thunderous aura.

Obviously the thunder and lightning are always scary.

But Xu Youlan felt that it was the only comfort in the endless night.

Qi Guang's height is not too tall, and his figure is far from being burly.But she is undoubtedly the most reliable and safest existence for everyone in the first team.

...how could she die.

Xu Youlan's fingers trembled slightly, she turned on the screen again, and quickly found the serial number belonging to Qi Guang at the top from the list.

That was the permission she had just obtained, and she had the permission to check the location and status of the team members at any time.

She hasn't even used it once.

Xu Youlan clicked on the serial number.

[Life status: no response

Location: Device destroyed, unknown

...]

Tears fell on the screen, the touch screen recognition made an error, and as the drop of water rolled down, the interface moved, and it happened to back out.

...Qi Guang died.

Xu Youlan clenched her teeth tightly, suppressed a whimper, and tried her best to force back the tears.

She pressed her elbows hard against the sink, her skin was so oppressed that it turned pale, but Xu Youlan seemed to be unaware, only holding the phone tightly in her hand.

...But she couldn't even cry aloud for Qi Guang.

Xu Youlan's slightly loosened palm formed two pieces of thin ice little by little. She lowered her head and pressed the thin ice on her eyelids.

After tidying up, Xu Youlan in the mirror couldn't see any flaws, so she walked out.

When Xu Youlan entered the kitchen, she naturally took the kitchen knife at the side and lowered her head to cut vegetables.

She was so restless that she didn't even realize that Xie Xuan, who had a smile on his lips when he entered the door, was also silent at the moment.

To the bone.

And when Xu Youlan came back to his senses, he realized that his hands were not important. People who have been playing with knives for so many years will have their fingers cut open by such a small knife one day.

Fortunately, the cut was not deep, and just as Xu Youlan stuffed the injured finger into his mouth and sucked it, Xie Xuan grabbed his wrist and pulled it out.

Xie Xuan frowned tightly, Xu Youlan seemed to have not seen her expression like this for a long time.

"...Okay, don't cut it." Xie Xuan's voice was a bit chilly for some reason, she hurriedly dropped what she was doing, dragged Xu Youlan aside, and after dressing the wound, she looked at Xu Youlan, " What's going on with you today? Why have you been absent-minded. "

Xu Youlan's bandaged finger moved slightly, but she never raised her head to look at Xie Xuan.

Then she stretched out her hand and suddenly hugged Xie Xuan tightly.The sharp chin rested on Xie Xuan's shoulder, and it hurt a little, but Xie Xuan didn't push her away, but slowly stretched out his hand, hugging her even tighter.

Xu Youlan didn't know how long she hugged Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan also unexpectedly did not pursue further.

She quietly leaned on Xie Xuan's shoulder to sort out her final emotions, and rediscovered her long-honed acting skills, and forced a smile: "...I'm fine."

Xu Youlan knows well that the best lies are always half-truths and half-false, and she never concealed her previous gaffe, she just said: "...I just suddenly remembered something from the past."

"If it's something sad, then stop thinking about it."

Typical thank-you consolation.

Xu Youlan held Xie Xuan's hand tightly, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

Until the end, she could only answer in a low voice.

"……Um."

[Special Operations Division Dispatch Order:

The captain of the first team was vacant, and Xu Youlan, the deputy captain of the first team, took over temporarily.

Please go to the headquarters immediately to complete the corresponding handover. 】

Xu Youlan stared at the transfer order, then walked into the office silently.

Xu Youlan was not familiar with the so-called data administrator, and the few times they met, Qi Guang took her in almost all of them.

She stared fixedly at the mask sitting on the office chair not far away. Due to the lack of color on that white face, it was difficult to see any expression fluctuations on his face.

But Xu Youlan didn't care.

She came this time, except for the transfer order——

Xu Youlan lightly pressed her fingers on the table and asked word by word:

"—Qi Guang, what happened to her?"
