Chapter 170: Pie in the sky?

Chapter 170 Pie in the sky?

Ye Yunhe remembers his hometown as a teenager.

One afternoon in the past, four people who were resting in Qiheng’s dormitory started talking about their childhood for some reason.

Si and An are from an orphanage. Their brothers and sisters who are always making noises are also from there. They have acquired good eloquence and brotherly manners since childhood. Since joining the government, he has rarely been able to go back, after all, it is so far away.

Lin Muyu certainly comes from an upper-class family, and his family heritage can be called ancient. He said that his childhood was boring and there was nothing to talk about. He also cut off all ties with that place after the end of the world and has had no contact with it until now.

Ye Yunhe comes from an ordinary lower-class family. Her parents are not well educated, but they have extreme expectations for their daughter to become a successful person. Her family's financial situation is not good, so she also says that there is nothing worth reminiscing about her childhood. She stretched out her hand to show her friend the gold ingot bracelet she had bought on her own. It was very beautiful and golden.

The last person to speak was Qi Heng.

The young boy held his chin. He said that his memory of his hometown was already vague. He only remembered that it was a remote village swallowed by black fog. He was outside picking up stones to play with, and walked farther and farther away. Who knew that when he turned around, he found that his friends who were calling out to him had long since disappeared, and only the black fog that covered the sky and the sun swallowed up his shadow.

After the four people finished speaking, the dormitory fell into inexplicable silence. After a long time, Ye Yunhe pressed her lips together and laughed. She really felt that this scene had a bit of a hellish joke vibe.

"Does Xiaoheng still remember the location of his hometown? The captain knows the detailed map of the safe zone by heart. Just tell him the location and he will be able to find it for you." Si Yu'an rubbed the boy's head. The cool hair felt great.

"It seems to be in the direction of Bai Ye?" Qi Heng waved his hand away and fixed his hair disdainfully. "I heard about Bai Ye when it was established. Later I realized that the familiar feeling was because the village was only a short distance away from there."

"Although the black fog has been cleared, the area it engulfed is still desolate. Nothing is left."

"Then after we go back with Yu'an to visit the kids, we can go back to your hometown." Ye Yunhe held a straw in his mouth, "By the way, do people with special abilities have annual leave?"

Si Yuan scratched his head: "It seems like there is? But it may not be approved."

"The contract doesn't mention annual leave, it only says that long vacations can be considered at the discretion of the parties." The reliable Captain Lin remembered it clearly, "Didn't you read it when you signed it?"

"We still have to look at that thing." The three of them shook their heads.

How is this not considered trust in the government?

…

The memories end here.

Unexpectedly, the agreement made casually that day ended up becoming the boy's will in his farewell letter.

The boomeranging knife of the past always seemed to spin at unexpected moments and stab into people's hearts.

The boy's tone was too vivid. Ye Yunhe read it over and over again before gently folding it up and stuffing the letter back into the envelope.

But there is a doubt.

A naked and weird blind spot that proves that this matter is not ordinary - Qi Heng is clearly an energy body. In Bai Zhou's description, there was no childhood at all. Why did he talk about the so-called "childhood"?

The letter was written after the boy met Bai Zhou. He clearly knew his identity and understood that his so-called childhood memories were all false. Why did he write down the strange "three memories" and the "three directions" on the back of the paper?

Is there any meaning in this? Is the boy’s childhood real or fake? Was he trying to tell them something?

Or have they been deceived by the daylight again - Qi Heng is not an energy entity without a past, but a living human being with a past?

One person's brain is no match for three people's brains. Ye Yunhe ran directly to Si Yu'an's dormitory and woke up the guy who was still lying on the bed by knocking on the door.

Now there was one more person who was in disbelief. There was no time to call the captain. The two of them slipped in and searched every corner of the dormitory. They briefly told Lin Muyu the news in the group chat and asked him to search his own dormitory to see where the letter given by the boy was.

Finally, the letter was found in the chandelier on the ceiling and in the gap between the floor and the wall.

"How did this guy get up there?" Si Yu'an rubbed his arms, which were numb from being stretched to their limit, and grinned, "Could he have pried open my lock and sneaked in?"

"It's probably true." Ye Yunhe also looked at the letter in his hand.

Lin Muyu suddenly remembered: "Then I guess he was released when I went out to buy breakfast. No wonder Xiaoheng always came to my dormitory to hang out those days. It turns out he was scouting the place."

The two people who received the letter later opened it and read it carefully. Ye Yunhe jumped left and right, looking here and there.

The contents of the letters were basically the same, all carefully written by the teenagers, and at the end they all mentioned "things buried in childhood", like a puzzle written specifically for them. The three directions were clearly written on the back of the letter paper, and they seemed to be not far away, all shrunk in the same circle.

But it’s really far away. It takes at least three or four days to get from the government to the White Night Guild. The teleportation device is too expensive. Although it is fast, it is a real money-burner. The wallets of the three people do not allow them to make such a choice now.

But when they saw the letter, Si Yu'an could no longer sit still. He felt like his butt was on fire and he couldn't sit still on the chair. He wanted to fly straight from here to an enormous place.

"This must be something special! Xiao Heng must know that his identity will be known by us. Maybe the secret is related to those three memories." The brown-haired young man said hurriedly, "We have to dig it out and take a look even if we have to crawl over it!"

"Calm down, Yu'an." Lin Muyu pushed him down. "We all know that this is not a contradiction. We must go there, but not now."

"Perhaps, Xiao Heng wants to use us to find out what he cannot do himself."

Perhaps the boy’s memory is not just fiction. Such clear points are like puzzles he remembers in a dream after waking up, representing some meaning that he himself does not know. And the daytime, who knows all this, will not tell them the truth.

But, whether it was a hint or a last wish, the three of them would help him fulfill it.

But how to get to the destination... is a problem.

Just as I was feeling worried, my cell phone rang. I opened it and saw that it was a work group that was not set to do not disturb.

"Huh?" The three were stunned.

There was nothing else to say, because the subject of that message happened to be closely related to their worries, and their names were clearly on the list of people going together. The screen suddenly lit up the eyes of the three people, making Si and An jump up again.

"Who will go to the White Night Guild to attend the appointment?!"

——

After receiving this news, some small groups that only occasionally appeared became lively, and they were all friends from other guilds who had also received invitations.

After making an agreement to sit together at that time, the three of them finally recovered from this perfect "pie in the sky".

During this short holiday, you don’t even need to pay for the cost of the transmission device yourself, the government will help reimburse you.

All you need to do is prepare the necessary items and wait to set off the day after tomorrow. The ceremony is scheduled for seven days later. According to etiquette, you should arrive two or three days in advance and then wait for the opening ceremony at the arranged residence. During this time, you can stroll around the city and appreciate it. After all, it is not easy to come such a long way.

With anticipation in mind, the three of them went back to their respective rooms to pack their luggage.

…

Soon it was the day after tomorrow.

Perhaps the higher-ups finally showed some kindness, and Chief Xiaozhe, who was always busy, also took a short vacation. He got in the same car with the three of them, preparing to go to the White Night Guild.

The four people sat upright in their seats. They were quite excited at first. However, before the next day, the more than ten hours of driving made them droop in their seats, and the bumpy road made them doubt their lives.

Even people who don't get carsick can't stand it. As soon as they arrive at the rest area, they immediately set up a tent and lie down, falling into a deep sleep. The next day, the bumps continue.

We encountered a sudden black fog halfway through the journey. Not far from the car, only a few meters away from the safe zone, there was a stable village on the other side, which was now feeling panic due to the sudden black fog.

An A-level copy is not very difficult and takes about a day to complete. The officer made a judgment in seconds based on the analyzed data.

Now that you have seen it, just clean it up while you are at it, so that other people won’t have to spend time coming. The trio volunteered to help themselves and relieve their numb bodies. They had never been so eager to move before.

The senior management of the group made a decisive decision and asked the three people and the responsible employee to get off the bus and stay temporarily until the situation was cleaned up before continuing the journey. After giving these instructions, he led the others and drove away, leaving only the exhaust fumes to pollute the air that a few people breathed.

The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the copy silently.

…

Twenty hours passed before we finished cleaning and got in the car with the newly made props. The road was not very safe at night, and the people waiting were all sleepy, so a group of people packed up their tents and slept soundly until they woke up, fully energized, and continued on their journey.

By the time we arrived at the destination, there was only one day left until the ceremony began.

——

The White Night Guild was established in a city.

Due to the excellent relationship between the guild and the residents of the city, the ceremony held by the guild was incredibly grand and packed with people. Balloons, fireworks, and long red cloths dotted everywhere make you feel the lively atmosphere as soon as you step in.

The laughter has been going on for several days. The long street is connected by small stalls set up by residents. There is a dazzling array of goods, including special snacks on one side and novel gadgets on the other. It may take an entire afternoon to visit them all.

Bai Ye's employees were dressed in uniform, standing at the city gate to greet visitors, serving with unremitting smiles, and their whole bodies exuded a sense of relaxation. The psychics were no exception and stood among them, even using their energy to create fireworks to welcome the guests.

The hawkers' shouts rose one after another, and the smells of various spices lingered together, tempting people to sniff their noses and salivate.

Si and An kept turning their heads to look, and for some reason they felt a sense of homeliness. Ye Yunhe and he looked at each other, both of them were shocked.

Lin Muyu was sending a message to his superior, and he pushed two people who were trying to run away to his sides to avoid being dispersed by the crowd.

"Hey!" A loud young voice was heard, and someone waved his hands desperately at them. Si and An were the first to look over there, and when they saw who was coming, they immediately waved and greeted them.

It was Sheng Mu, and with him was of course the indispensable Sheng Chao. The two of them were looking at the three people with a smile. It looks like the Dawnbreaker Guild has also arrived.

After squeezing through the crowd, the few people met again at a lively event. Sheng Mu hooked his brother's elbow and rushed over: "Why are you here so late? Did you encounter any obstacles on the road?"

"That's true." Si Yu'an waved his hands, "I just cleared a dungeon on the way, just sprinkle some water."

"We have been shopping here for a day. It's so interesting. There are so many new and interesting things we have never seen before." Sheng Mu stretched out his hand and showed them his new purchases, smiling proudly. "Kalinte and his friends arrived earlier. I don't know where they are shopping now. My brother and I saw you first."

Sheng Chao and Lin Muyu nodded to each other. The mature elder brother looked a little tired. It was obvious that he was exhausted by the accelerated landing copy during this period, but he didn't want to disturb his younger brother's enthusiasm for running around.

He asked, "Are you planning to go to the temporary residence first? We just happen to be going back as well, so you can lead the way directly."

"That's troublesome." Lin Muyu put away his phone. He didn't know what the officer opposite him was doing. He sent a message about "where is the temporary residence" but received no reply. "I was just about to ask the staff. It would be much more convenient if someone I know can lead the way."

"polite."

On this side, the conversation is serious, on the other side, it's the opposite.

Sheng Mu first looked around, and after staring at an empty space for a long time, he pursed his lips and finally asked Ye Yunhe and the others the questions that he was concerned about.

His voice was very light: "...Qi Heng, do you plan to hold a funeral?"

That was his first friend of the same age.

They didn't spend much time together. When Sheng Mu learned that the hero who passed away in the news was Qi Heng, he had just returned from a dungeon and didn't even have time to treat his wounds. The news headlines two days ago were about another heart-wrenching death of a hero. He just clicked on it out of habit, and his eyes were fixed on the familiar name.

The comments below were full of condolences; no one forgot about this supernatural being who had shined so brilliantly in the Battle of Zhuolu.

The young hero who saved countless people died along with the special copy without leaving any body. He read it over and over again stiffly, with a strong sense of disbelief in his heart.

Sheng Mu cried bitterly that day. Because he didn't want others to see him, he cried while treating his wound. His tears dripped into the wound, causing even more intense pain, so he cried even more violently.

However, no matter how painful the emotions were at that time, they would be washed away by a month of high-intensity dungeons, leaving endless regrets.

Most people with special powers do not have funerals. Their names are only published in the news and in special lists. Usually, people with special powers do not have corpses after death, so most of them have cenotaphs. The ups and downs of their lives are finally condensed in a small pile of earth.

But relatives and friends can also choose to hold a special ceremony.

"It will be held." After a moment of silence, Ye Yunhe replied, "I just haven't decided on the time yet, but it will be soon."

"We have to wait for us to bring his hometown back as well."

Sheng Mu quickly hugged the two of them. This was a belated comfort from his good friends. As teammates who were as close as family, the three of them felt much worse than he did.

Just thinking about the possibility of parting with his brother made his heart tremble subconsciously.

"Please let me know when the time comes."

Sheng Mu said softly: "I will definitely be there."

Si Yu'an narrowed his eyes, wiped away the gloom from his brows, and turned into the appearance of a cheerful big boy again. Seeing this, he patted the boy's shoulder hard, as if to dispel his bad mood.

"Don't look so depressed!" He hooked his arm around Ye Yunhe and Sheng Mu's necks, and led them to the captain, "It's time to put the luggage in the temporary residence. Those who arrived early, please lead the way for me--"

"Hey, you're so heavy!"
