"I'll... stay put for now and not walk around, so as not to implicate Su Mingan." Changge thought for a while and returned to bed.

He looked at his system prompt:

[You have officially awakened. You can watch the actions of another player during the day. You will always share the perspective and senses with this body. ]

In this way, even if Su Mingan wakes up, Changge won't have to go back to that confused state, he can just watch.

It just so happens that his abilities are more inclined towards healing, so if Su Mingan needs it in the future, he can treat Su Mingan.

He sat on the bed, keeping a vigilant posture, ready to sit still all night to ensure safety until Su Mingan woke up.

…

Midnight, front line.

"——Dear viewers, what we are seeing now is the scene after the black fog has receded." The female reporter from the TV station took the microphone and introduced the situation on the front line to the audience.

After the black fog receded, the original homeland of mankind slowly emerged. Many cities still maintained their pre-escape appearance, with buildings and high-speed rail tracks well preserved, giving a sense of absurdity that mankind had disappeared en masse. The military was carrying out radiation removal work, and it would not be long before humans would re-enter.

The camera moved slightly downward, and people saw an underground building that looked like a tunnel.

The female reporter excitedly introduced to the people:

"This is the underground building we discovered after the black fog faded. The detector has been put in. The tunnel is likely to be an underground city hundreds of years ago. The United Government named it - [Relics]!"

There are a lot of comments in the live broadcast room:

[An underground city from hundreds of years ago! ]

[Human history has only been recorded in recent years, and the earliest records are only from ancient times thousands of years ago. The first thousand years in between are completely disconnected, and we have no idea how humans survived. Now we finally have some clues.]

[It's a ruin. There must be a lot of antiques and treasures. 】

Under the cover of night, Ying was riding the mechanical roulette wheel to the United Government, and happened to pass by this area. He looked down and found that it was very lively below.

"Hey, what is this doing? Live broadcast?" Ying said to himself.

Ying jumped off the roulette wheel and landed on the ground with a thud, splashing dust all over the floor.

"You, who are you?" The female reporter was startled. Why did a person suddenly fall from the sky? She looked closely and saw that face - wasn't it the face of the eldest prince?

——Is it the First Dream Patrol? He finally showed up in the real world?

"First Dream Patrol, let me interview you--" The female reporter immediately held out the microphone.

In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Ying pushed aside the female reporter, and before people could react, he smiled and waved at the camera:

"Hi everyone, I'm Su Ming'an. I'll go to the execution ground at 12 noon tomorrow, cause a big disturbance in the coalition government, and beat up Mizushima Kawai. Everyone is welcome to watch the live broadcast."

Before people could be shocked, Ying hurriedly climbed onto the mechanical roulette wheel, ready to slip away.

"Wait, First Dream Patrolman, does your statement now mean that your position is against the coalition government?" the female reporter shouted frantically below.

Ying flew up into the sky, turned around, and smiled at the camera from a distance:

“No.”

"I am only against all those who have ulterior motives and those who have no regard for the greater good."

“I hate all those who are blind and foolish, I hate all those who are short-sighted, I hate all those who are superficial.”

The female reporter wanted to ask a few more questions, but the figure slipped away so quickly that she soon disappeared.

…

The fourth day of the copy opening.

Su Mingan woke up from his sleep, packed his schoolbag, printed his admission ticket, and went to the college entrance examination venue.

Su Luoluo and Lu Shu saw him off. Jiang Xiaoshan from the church carried her schoolbag and went to the examination room with him.

The college entrance examination lasted for one day, with cultural knowledge tested from 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning, and the use of talismans tested from 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. Su Mingan walked with the crowd and saw many parents with children, soldiers evacuating the crowd, and candidates holding plastic-sealed pencil bags.

The sun shines through the sycamore trees, and the air is filled with the fragrance of leaves and the smell of burning sunlight. Su Mingan's forehead is favored by the sun, and he is a little dazed, as if he has returned to June last year, walking in the crowd like this, and his youth flows to an unknown distance with the falling of the pen tip.

But that time, no one saw him off. This time, there were many more people around him.

[All the soldiers of Ubang Nation Daoya City wish every candidate to write well, live up to their youth, win the first prize, and be on the list of successful candidates! ]

【Twelve years of hard study finally paid off! May you feel as proud as a warrior sheathing his sword when you close the cap on your pen!】

The bright red banners hung on the road, facing the broken walls of the city, as if stained with the weight of life.

In front of the college entrance examination gate, Jiang Xiaoshan handed Su Mingan a blue bracelet with a little rabbit pendant, which looked cute and fashionable.

Jiang Xiaoshan said: "Brother Wensheng, this is Taomeng's favorite bracelet."

Su Mingan asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaoshan's eyes flickered slightly. In the crowded crowd, she lowered her voice, her voice a little hoarse:

"Tao Meng said before that when she passes the college entrance examination, she will... wear this bracelet and walk towards you."

"She has liked you for a long time. We all know this, but you are the only one who doesn't know."

"Every time you came to church, she was always the first person to look at you, even if you never made eye contact with her, but she would still be the first person to look at you every time."

“……”Su Mingan was stunned.

"She said that if she couldn't make it to the day of the college entrance examination, she would let me give the bracelet directly to you - she could no longer spread her wings and fly, she hoped that you could take her bracelet and fly out of this poor little town, fly to the prosperous city, fly to the upper class, fly to... the sky." Jiang Xiaoshan said:

"Fly to a place far away where she can no longer see you, fly to a place that truly deserves you."

"You don't need to respond to her, and she doesn't ask for a response."

"She just said, 'Your road must be very long, go ahead and walk it.'"

Su Mingan clenched the bracelet.

He raised his head and looked at the gate of the college entrance examination. The steel gate spanned under the bright sunshine, like a long golden bridge connecting the past and the future.

This end and the other side are so far and so long.
