Chapter 164 His Past
The officer led the young man in the opposite direction.
Only the barrage of crazy "?"s remained, messily staying in place, zooming in and out, constantly comparing the facial features of the people in the picture.
The novelty that came from seeing the young man in broad daylight suddenly faded, and the fear that followed it flew over in a flash.
"Wait, who is this?"
“No? Is this Commander-chan?? Or does the Commander have twins!! They look so alike!!”
"No, this is obviously the commander himself."
“Ahhhh, isn’t this the problem? Why did the commander bring the young boy Hiru back with him? Aren’t they about the same age???”
"Where's the forum boss?! Help! Tell my CPU what's going on. This is definitely the same siege from two years ago. The guild and the government are right next to us... The leader must be the government guy himself, there's no way he can be wrong (Ah Ba Ah Ba)"
"Washing kelp... What's going on? Even if the boy is two years old, he won't grow this big. What kind of illusion is this? (Confusion)"
"…Family, I have a very bold idea."
"We can think of your family without you telling us."
…
Questions popped up one after another, and in the huge bubbles that were pieced together were jaw-dropping answers.
But no matter how tangled the reader's thoughts are, the comics continue to turn to the next page, revealing the folded truth step by step, which is discovered by an outsider due to an accident.
The young man at the center of the memory fragment was also drawn into this memory, and it was unclear whether his soul was sinking or awake.
——
The illusion continues.
The space twisted like a whirlpool, and then another memory was revealed.
In the picture, the three protagonists suddenly appeared, and they looked about the same age as those in the outside world. His body was straight, but the difference was that he was still wearing a badge that was not straightened. It seemed that he was still doing the exercises designated by the coach in the training ground.
This is the earliest stage of the comics, and even earlier stages. Before officially clearing copies above level A, psychics need to undergo several months of training. Only after reaching the standards can they obtain a formal badge and become a member of the government psychics.
But why are these three still this age? The barrage of comments was wide-eyed and doubtful about life. They stared at the familiar trio from the comics and Bai Zhou, who was obviously underage, not far away. The former was smiling, while the latter had a blank expression. For a moment, they felt their worldview collapse.
This time the background was very clear, and one could even hear the noisy laughter of the people around. It was different from the previous one where it was so unreal and only vague silhouettes could be seen. Obviously, the owner of the memory has a strong memory of it.
Si and An have always been passionate.
When he saw the young boy coming over with the coach, he was the first to rush forward, looking at the other person with wide eyes and curiosity. He maintained a good sense of boundaries, and his gaze was friendly and non-offensive, so he did not make Bai Zhou, who had not communicated with anyone for a long time, feel unhappy.
[Hello, are you the new member who is going to join our team? 】He smiled brightly at the daytime who looked up at him.
The young boy stared at him for a few moments and nodded. He looked a little bored, looking around with a cold look. The gazes from all around him pierced him one after another, making him turn his body uncomfortably.
Most of the wounds on his body had healed, and the hideous scars were white, crisscrossing his skin and covered under his clothes. Only the exposed areas of his neck and wrists gave a glimpse of his past.
He was still very thin, and due to malnutrition he was only about the same height as Ye Yunhe, but fortunately his complexion had become much rosier after a period of nourishment, and he exuded the aura of a teenager.
Ye Yunhe stood aside, with her hands on her hips and looking down at him. She still looked listless, but she would reveal a faint smile when the boy looked at her.
Si and An have tried to talk to Bai Zhou. This intuitive guy didn't sense the other party's displeasure, so he took the initiative to introduce various training tools to the other party, and he was able to make the scene very lively by himself. The tall man stood aside, covering the young boy tightly and blocking other eyes.
Lin Muyu smiled and briefly greeted the boy. Then he and the coach went aside and talked quietly: [He is...]
【right. 】The coach agreed with a strange expression, [The newcomer with very...special abilities. After the above discussion, I finally decide to add him to your team. After all, he is very versatile and you can take care of him as well. 】
[Now your team has two key protected persons.] 】The coach joked.
Why is this burden getting heavier? Lin Muyu sighed, his gentle gaze stayed on the boy for a few seconds, and then moved away before the other party noticed, [But, it is also what we should do. Don't worry, Yu An's social skills have never dropped. 】
The conversation over there is getting a little better. Although he frowned and looked annoyed with Si Yu'an, the young boy did not ignore the words thrown at him and replied with just one or two words.
We get along pretty well.
…
This memory also ends.
It seems this is our first encounter. After joining the government as a teenager, Bai Zhou was assigned to the corresponding team to meet his future new teammates.
The barrage felt unusual.
The young and taciturn Bai Zhou met the now adult trio and became a new member. This is a plot that even the second creator dared not write, but now it officially appears in the comics.
Compared with the previous confrontation and crushing between the adult Bai Zhou and the protagonist group, it is as magical as a dream.
Moreover, it feels strangely familiar.
By the way, do psychic abilities need to be discussed in such a secretive way? The reader feels something is wrong.
The illusion distorted again.
Then came the fragments of memory, some long and some short, struggling to piece together, then shattered into pieces after being played, melting into the whiteness bit by bit.
Four puzzle pieces with strange but compatible personalities slowly fit together, sticking tightly together as one, just as they should be.
Each illusion carries emotions again and again. The warming feelings, the tacit understanding of facing each other with their backs to each other, and the trust given to each other regardless of everything. The taciturn boy eventually cracked a smile and showed the vitality that he should have at this age. One morning, he proudly stood on tiptoe to show his increased height, and received unanimous encouragement from his companions. The days passed one by one.
The smiling face fits the mask perfectly, the arrogance and superiority are all the human skin that has been pasted on by one's own hands. The real thing underneath is the shadow of adolescence, a soul abandoned in the past.
——
【▇▇, what are you looking at? Do you know what day it is today? 】
Their relationship was already very close, Ye Yunhe called the boy by his nickname and opened the dormitory door without any hesitation.
It’s just strange that the nickname for daylight that came out of her mouth appeared as a dark mess in the picture, naked, in the warm atmosphere.
【new year. 】Bai Zhou turned around and responded.
With the free supplements, the young boy finally managed to grow back to the height he should have during his growth period. The fertile nutrients fed the wilted little bamboo into a upright green bamboo. Just standing there with its back straight, it exuded vitality.
He smiled cheerfully, already showing some of the temperament of an adult, and the evil hidden deep in his character gradually emerged.
[Xiao Ye, are you going to give me a red envelope?] The young boy tilted his head. [Then I have to take three portions, and Captain An and the others should also get some. 】
Ye Yunhe raised his eyebrows, and raised his hands in his pockets, causing the hem of his clothes to sway: [They have something else to do, so they will come back later. I will come alone. You are such a disrespectful guy, I should call you Sister Xiao Ye. 】
[And——] She slowly stretched out her hand, and under the boy's gaze, she suddenly stretched it out and swung it in front of the man's eyes. The bright red color flashed by, and the tip of her hand stopped in front of the daytime, [You forgot your boss's share. 】
[He is as busy as a dog now, so he asked me to bring it to you. 】
Ye Yunhe shook the red envelope in his hand: [This is ▇▇’s New Year’s money, please accept it? 】
The young boy blinked. After staring at the red for a long time, he reached out to take it.
The warm red envelopes, which are heated by body temperature, look festive, with golden ingots embedded in them. There were two red envelopes in total. Ye Yunhe and his superior wrote blessings at the bottom of each red envelope. The ink had dried long ago. They had been prepared a long time ago.
【Thanks. 】 He squeezed the solid red envelope and said thank you softly.
[What are you saying?] 】Ye Yunhe laughed,【Why don’t you open it and take a look. 】
The young boy opened the red envelope, which was filled with a stack of banknotes. On both sides of the pink envelope were two bright yellow talisman papers.
[You also gave away talismans?] 】
He pinched the bright yellow top and planned to pull out the two talismans to check -
The illusion is shattered here.
——
The rooftop of the east building.
The door was locked all year round. After being abandoned for a period of time, it was requisitioned by four guys. Since then, it has become a secret base and a favorite place to hang out in their spare time.
It was a month after the New Year. The four-member team, who had just successfully cleared the first copy in their career, came here again with tablecloths, planning to go camping on the rooftop. They also carried various snacks bought from outside, which were still hot.
After all, it was the first time to clear an A-level copy, and we won a great victory, so it was really memorable.
[This place is really great.] 】A cool breeze blew in when the door was opened. Si Yu'an sighed, 【You still love to run around. I had never been here before you said that. Now it's almost become our second camp. 】
The young boy was busy fixing the tablecloth to the ground: [This place is high and the scenery is beautiful. It’s my first time here, so I thought of bringing you guys along. 】
The bricks were still piled where they were last time. Lin Muyu moved them one by one and placed them on the four corners of the tablecloth. He took a glance and found that there were still burnt brown marks on the white wall that had been accidentally burned last time.
It seemed like the young boy wanted to use his supernatural power to barbecue, but he accidentally got his head covered by a plastic bag that suddenly flew over. His hand tilted and the supernatural power was released onto the wall, which burned a tattoo on the wall.
At that time, Xiao Ye and the others were busy laughing, and none of the other four thought about the mark.
[Next time, get some paint to fix it.] Lin Muyu touched the wall; it was rough and prickly.
[You can keep it, just as a trace of having been here. 】Si Yu'an rushed over, put the bags of snacks on the cloth, and slumped beside it. [Anyway, no one comes to this place except us. 】
Ye Yunhe counted on his fingers: [The Battle of Zhuolu is about to begin. I will be very busy by then and probably won't have time to come here. 】
[Speaking of which, do you want to take the first place? 】The young boy caught the key words, raised his head and asked loudly,【I heard that the prizes for the champion this time are very rich, and there are more people participating than before. 】
He said cheerfully: [I'm quite interested. 】
[In that case!] 】
Si Yuan sat up straight abruptly and clenched his fist: [Then work hard to become the champion! Let’s get up two hours earlier tomorrow and go to the training ground to train. We can’t let other teams overtake us! 】
Ye Yunhe did not participate in the topic and just looked at the clouds silently.
Helplessly clearing his throat, Lin Muyu calmed down his excited teammates and stuffed a skewer of barbecue into their mouths: [Fill your stomachs first, I don’t want you to faint from hunger on the training ground. 】
The atmosphere was cheerful, and the young boy laughed quietly a few times.
It has been raining a lot these days, but today is a nice day with no clouds in the sky. The wind blew up my hair, making me feel neither stuffy nor hot, just cool.
The four's secret base is still full of memories.
The voice gradually faded away, and the illusion returned to peace.
——
According to the timeline, the next illusion will be the memory of the "Battle of Zhuolu".
But the readers dare not turn the page.
"Wait... Putting aside the fact that Hiru-nii shrank and the protagonists became one team, is there no information about the adult Hiru-nii in this world line?"
Here's why.
"...Yes. So the government is not aware that the Dark Nest has not been completely eliminated, and the raid on the Dark Nest in the Battle of Zhuolu will come as planned."
By then, what kind of severe blow will the unprepared decent people suffer? After two years of reorganization, the potential supernatural beings known as the "hope of the future" have all gathered in the team competition illusion. What will happen then... readers dare not imagine it.
But a tragedy that is bound to happen cannot be stopped by the resistance of outsiders.
All the questions about the daytime were known the moment this illusion first began, but due to the unwillingness to believe in their hearts, no one bothered to point out this fact.
But the deepest mystery has yet to be solved.
The reader was silent for a moment and continued to scroll down.
