Chapter 209 Awakened! Xiaoyun! My name is Yun Fuyu
"Little Yun~"
Under the giant tree, a black-haired man sat cross-legged at a small table, a fire curling beside him, and he was brewing tea.
He stared intently at the fragrant mist and waved with his hand.
Not far from the table, there were three other people.
One man leaned his back against a dozing white lion, another lay side by side with a black bear in the shade, and another held a reddish-brown fox.
All three were in deep sleep.
Xiaoyun walked over and sat opposite him.
A small black snake with eyes like rubies quietly poked its head out and climbed up Xiaoyun's soft fingers.
The man raised his eyelids, and smile lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"Are you tired?"
His eyes were also dark red like wine.
Xiaoyun raised her head and looked at the big tree.
He couldn't remember what year or month it was or where he was.
Xiaoyun was a little dazed, and murmured an honest answer:
"A little tired."
The man said, "Come back if you're tired. I just wanted to help humans, but who knew you'd work for them for over a thousand years, only to be bullied like this... I wouldn't have helped you if I'd known. You didn't gain anything, and you even lost a World Tree."
The man raised his hand and knocked Xiaoyun on the head.
"Why are you so stupid? Weren't you a very smart little sapling before?"
Xiaoyun touched his forehead.
"But I want to protect your people and humanity."
The platinum-haired woman sleeping under the tree seemed to be awake for a few seconds.
"They're not useless. They can take care of themselves... Besides, they're not your children, so why should you care?"
Xiaoyun just looked at the man when he fell asleep again.
The man sighed, "Ignore these lazy bums."
The man said, "We added additional clauses to the oath because we were afraid someone would harm you after we were gone. Unexpectedly, the oath has restricted you instead."
Xiaoyun didn't say anything, just blinked and stared at the man in front of her.
"It feels like I haven't seen you in ages."
The man paused, bent down, supported his chin, rested his elbows on the small table, and looked at Xiaoyun with a smile.
"Yeah, it's been a while. I don't know how long it will take for me to wake up. So, you have to take care of yourself."
Xiaoyun said, "I take good care of myself."
Man: "No, you don't. If you took better care of yourself, you wouldn't be here."
Xiaoyun said, "But I don't remember anything."
The man's eyes narrowed again.
"If you don't remember, then don't remember. Humans today don't remember their past, and psychics today don't remember they're psychics."
The man continued, "But you have to figure out one thing. Who are you?"
Xiaoyun: "I'm Xiaoyun."
The man shook his head. "Are you Xiaoyun, or Yun■■?"
Xiaoyun looked at the man's lips in confusion, unable to hear the name clearly.
"What's the difference?"
Man: "Of course there is a difference. Are you Xiaoyun, or the Son of God? Are you the Son of the Psychic, or the Son of the Seven Towers Alliance? Do you want to go back, or continue sleeping? If you go back, do you want to stay in the Vatican again, or go out and have a look? Your life is so long, how should you view your human friends?
What is your self-identity? How do you want to live your life?
Xiaoyun was confused by the series of questions, and the confusion on her face became even more intense.
"It's so complicated, I can't figure it out. Do I really have to figure it out?"
Man: “You must think about it.”
After saying that, Xiaoyun held the teacup and sat there to think seriously.
But after thinking for a long time, his face became more and more confused.
"Otherwise... I'd better wait until I think it through before going out."
The man sighed deeply, supported his chin, raised his hand and gently tapped Xiaoyun's forehead.
"You trees just love to get into the cracks. I told you to think, and you just think? Why do you think so much? Thinking about mission, meaning, position, promises, and agreements all day long will bend the saplings and make them stupid."
He snatched Xiaoyun's cup, filled it with tea, and put it back in Xiaoyun's hand.
The man said, "Come on, repeat after me. 'I am a tree.'"
Xiaoyun repeated obediently: "I am a tree."
Man: "A tree doesn't need to worry about so many things. When a tree wants to bask in the sun, it basks in the sun. When it wants to sleep, it sleeps. When it wants to drink water, it drinks water. Everything else is external to the tree."
"Whoever you like, be with them. Whoever you hate, fight them. Wherever you want to go, go immediately. Whoever you want to keep, sign a contract with him and let his soul accompany you."
Man: "Do you understand?"
Xiaoyun nodded confusedly.
"I understand."
The blonde woman sleeping under the tree spoke again, "I don't think he understood."
The big bear sleeping on the other side turned over and expressed his agreement.
The man said helplessly, "Time is limited, I can only say this much. I also need to go to bed... I'm so sleepy."
He yawned, tears welling up in his eyes, and raised his hand to rub Xiaoyun's head.
"The descendants of my clan chose to play politics, and their current fate is because they couldn't play others better. The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, and I don't blame you."
"Good night, Xiaoyun."
———————
Dark, warm, safe and comfortable.
It feels like returning to the womb and amniotic fluid of Mother Earth.
Yun Fuyu's dreams were shaky, but no matter what he dreamed about, he would not be afraid.
He returned to the place where he felt safest.
The darkness cherished and joyfully held the long-lost child, repairing the damage to his body and gradually filling him with strength.
But Yun Fuyu felt a little anxious in his heart, as if the dream just now reminded him that there was something he had not finished before going to bed.
The sleepiness gradually faded away and he began to want to go out.
The darkness around him seemed helpless, rocking him as if to coax a child.
An'an wanted Yun Fuyu to sleep a little longer, rest a little longer, and repair the damage to his body.
Ke Yun’s desire to help Yu go out became stronger and stronger.
He tried hard to open his eyes...he tried everything he could to get out of the darkness as quickly as possible.
At a certain moment, there was a bump in the black waters, and Yun Fuyu was thrown out.
The power to repair the body was interrupted, and the soreness surged up through the internal organs, and the limbs were numb from the cold.
*
My eyelids feel slightly hot.
"Brother...Brother..."
A very quiet call rang in his ears.
Yun Fuyu opened his eyes.
In the blurry vision, the firelight flickered, and it seemed that two figures were approaching.
Yun Fuyu's throat hurts.
"water......"
A hand instantly shot out to cover his mouth.
The cool liquid was brought to Yun Fuyu's lips. He drank it anxiously and choked a few times.
The bitter water barely moistened his throat. Yun Fuyu drank half a cup very slowly to suppress the bloody taste in his throat, and then he opened his eyes clearly.
The light in front of me is dim.
The room was narrow and crowded, and two children, a boy and a girl, came up to Yun Fuyu.
Yun Fuyu was lying on the bed, covered with a thick blanket.
The bed was narrow and with three people squeezed in, Yun Fuyu could hardly move.
Yun Fuyu struggled to pull his hand out from under the layers of blankets, put his hand to his lips and coughed a few times.
His character is pale, with messy yet smooth black hair covering his face.
When he coughed, his shoulders hunched slightly and his thin body shrank.
Even though the environment was simple and the heavy blanket was frayed, it was still breathtakingly beautiful, as if a fairy was forcibly dragged into the human world, making people dare not look at it for too long.
The little girl was still at the age of slurring her words, and she said slowly with a whisper:
"Sister, you are so beautiful."
The boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with spiky hair and a wary look in his eyes.
He sent his sister to get another glass of water, speaking in a very low voice, as if afraid that others would hear.
"He's a man. It's already late and he's still talking like this... Go get some more water. Don't put the fever-reducing medicine in the cup. And be sure not to make any noise, okay?"
The little girl nodded and tiptoed to get some water.
After Yun Fuyu finished coughing, he wanted to sit up, but he had no strength.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his dark eyes were watery.
"Where... am I?"
The boy put his index finger in front of his lips and raised his eyes vigilantly, as if listening to the sounds around him.
"Eternal Gold Tower, Aesera. There's a pollution outbreak outside, so don't make a sound."
Yun Fuyu didn't understand what he said for a moment. She closed her eyes and tried to recall what had happened before.
pollute?
It seems... he did kill many mutants in the area where the pollution broke out...
Could it be that he was injured and rescued by the residents?
...Is this the Hengjin Tower? Why does it feel like it's somewhere else...
Yun Fuyu's thoughts were in a mess, and she couldn't tell what year, month, and place it was. One moment she felt like she was in the Vatican, and the next moment she felt like she was in a military academy.
He moved his fingers.
There is nothing wrong with my mental strength, and I have no physical injuries, but I just feel uncomfortable everywhere.
Yun Fuyu extended his mental power and discovered that the house was equipped with protective devices, so the aliens from the outside world had not yet discovered the people in the house.
His five senses had not yet returned, so he instinctively suppressed the mutants around him. While purifying himself, he asked:
“What’s with the pollution?”
The boy said, "Those officials at Hengjin Tower ignored us and wanted to make an example of us. If it weren't for the protective equipment the school installed for my family, we would have been finished long ago."
Yun Fuyu felt anxious, as if a fire was rising from her lungs, blocking her throat, and she began to cough violently again. Her jade-white face and neck turned red from coughing.
With her elbows resting on the edge of the bed, her ink-like hair flowed down her jade-white back, layer upon layer.
The heavy blanket slipped down to his waist. Yun Fuyu looked down and found that he was only wearing a pair of unfamiliar pants that didn't fit him well.
The boy continued to whisper, "When I found you yesterday, you had no clothes on."
The boy described the scene vividly with his hand drawing.
The pollution broke out for half an hour and it was raining heavily outside.
The boy secretly looked out from the surveillance camera and suddenly found a white figure lying on the ground at the corner of the street.
The wandering mutant happened to be passing by the figure.
But before the mutant could get close, it was suddenly frozen in place, then swallowed by white light and dissipated on the spot.
The boy's heart was pounding, thinking that this man might be a priest who could protect them.
In addition, the heavy rain covered up the human scent, so he plucked up his courage, ran out with a knife, and dragged Yun Fu Yu back home as quickly as possible.
My sister peeked out the door, ran over, and handed Yun Fuyu some warm clothes:
"Sister, put it on."
"I told you, he's a man."
Yun Fuyu thanked him and asked as he put on his clothes:
"What did you mean when you said Hengjin Tower was using you as an example to scare the monkeys?"
......
This year is the 1136th year of the Qita calendar.
Seven years have passed since Yun Fuyu became the chief and went to Yongyao Tower to suppress the pollution.
Yun Fuyu was in a trance and didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Did this brother and sister remember the year wrong?
No matter what... let's get out of here first.
While he was changing his clothes despite his discomfort, he listened to the boy whisper about what had happened over the years.
Ever since the Level 1 pollution disaster at Yongyao Tower, the seven towers began to split.
Yuan Guta only cared about his own business and refused to send troops unconditionally to assist other regions.
Something big seemed to have happened in Yongyao Tower. For a period of time, the entire area was blocked and no one could enter or leave.
The boy had read some posts on Starnet, saying that there had been a major reshuffle of officials at Yongyao Tower.
Only the Sun-Chasing Tower was relatively good, as schools were built in many places among the seven towers.
The siblings' guardian died, and they didn't want to move to the school.
The school gave them subsidies and, fearing that it would be unsafe for the two children to live alone, also paid for the installation of surveillance and protective equipment.
That is why the brother and sister were able to hide safely at home.
Although they and their siblings don't have to worry about their livelihood, it's not easy for other residents.
Ever since the rebels occupied parts of Aesra, the Hengjin Tower has imposed a blockade on Aesra and has been closely tracking down the rebels, which has affected the normal operation of the city.
Life is already difficult for residents, and with this blockade, some people are having trouble making ends meet.
For this reason, a movement against the blockade broke out in S City two days ago, and the people surrounded and occupied the government building.
"It's said that many officials were killed on the spot... snap. The red stain on the ground at the entrance of the government building has not been washed off yet."
Because his sister was beside him, the boy made a horizontal chopping gesture with his palm.
The Seven Towers officials classified the incident as a terrorist attack.
One hour after the terrorist attack, an unknown person suddenly uploaded a video to Starnet.
A self-proclaimed member of the resistance claimed responsibility for the incident. In a video, he officially declared that S City would break away from the rule of the Seven Towers and achieve independence, saying that this move was to "end the oppression of the Seven Towers."
But City S had extremely bad luck. Just after it declared independence, it encountered level five pollution.
There was a lot of excitement on StarNet.
People have spoken out for the deceased officials, and many people support killing the chicken to scare the monkeys and nip these mobs in the bud.
"We pay taxes to support the Seven Towers' army. Why should we pay these traitors?"
"Don't send a psychic to rescue them!"
In response to the public's call, the upper echelons of the Hengjin Tower decided to block the block where the terrorists were located and cut off all energy supplies.
Neither allow people inside to come out, nor allow people outside to provide support.
As for other areas of S City, the Hengjin Tower still sent psychics to rescue.
Some people also questioned, saying, "What if there are good people in these blocks? Are we just going to ignore them?"
Soon, the dissenting comments drowned out the doubts.
"If they were really good people, they would have left long ago. Who would still stay there?"
The boy scratched his hair: "The problem is, I've never seen the resistance army!"
The brother and sister had the bad luck to live in a block that was locked down.
The school teachers were extremely anxious.
Their school was funded by the Sun Tower Foundation and is located outside the blockade area. The teachers and boarding students were evacuated in time, but they can't just leave the students in the contaminated area alone!
The teachers tried their best to send a request for help to the Sun-Chasing Tower.
The teacher told the brother and sister not to be afraid, to close the doors and windows and hide indoors, and that when rescue arrived, they would definitely go in and rescue them.
The young man whispered the story very quickly. By the time Yun Fuyu was getting dressed, he had already explained the situation clearly.
Yun Fuyu stretched his body and told the brother and sister:
"You two stay hidden. I'll deal with the pollution as soon as possible and have your teacher come get you."
The boy was startled. "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The little girl also ran over and threw herself into Yun Fuyu's arms.
"Brother, don't go out. It's very dangerous outside. The teacher said someone will come to rescue us soon."
Yun Fuyu rubbed her hair and said softly:
"Don't worry, I'm very good."
He hasn't recovered from the number seven years yet and still has some doubts in his heart.
The rebels...launched a terrorist attack?
In his memory, the rebels had a strong sense of self-discipline and had never done such a thing.
The little girl pulled him worriedly.
"Brother, you haven't told me your name yet?"
Yun Fuyu answered subconsciously: "My name is Xiaoyun——"
He paused, stunned.
This answer was so natural that it fell out of my mouth without even thinking.
After a moment, he corrected his self-introduction.
"...My name is Yun Fuyu."
