"Student Su, where are we going?"
Above the sky, Xia Jiawen's voice was very soft.
"A dark place." Su Mingan said.
"Is it... Really?" Xia Jiawen said with a wry smile: "The alien species that are despised by the world can only go to the place covered by black fog. Student Su, you can obviously... have a bright future."
"I don't need it." Su Mingan said.
He is the leader of the Human Self-Salvation Alliance.
He is the deputy minister of the City Guardian Department.
He has the dual identities of a qualified person and an alien.
He is the first dream patroller.
He is the number one player.
Even if he went to the Human Self-Saving Alliance's headquarters or the City Guardian Department, he could immediately launch a counterattack. He could also go to the Lighthouse Church founded by Boris and start from faith. He was never afraid of anything.
"So, you're not going back to Daoya City?" Xia Jiawen whispered, "It's close to the bishop's church, Ms. Lin's psychological counseling center, and you and Su Luoluo's home... You're not going back."
Su Mingan was stunned.
——But this means there’s no going back.
The warm, daily and reassuring life can never be returned.
The kind female students in the church, Li Mingyue's plain but caring words, Dr. Lin Yunting's trust, Chi who was waiting for him in the dungeon, and... Su Luoluo who insisted on smiling cheerfully no matter how much pain she endured.
The old grandfather and grandmother who gave him antiques, the bald boss of the tavern, the tailor mother with the little boy, the homeless girl in the park, the blond businessman with a schoolbag, and the kind-hearted soldier on the edge of the city.
There's no going back.
Su Mingan's fingers touched his pocket. He was slightly startled and took out something from his pocket - it was a pink rag doll.
When he left home in the morning, he took the doll with him, thinking that he could go to the psychological counseling center after the college entrance examination and bring the doll to Chi. Although there are no Barbie dolls in the city, the simple doll is enough to comfort him.
But there is no chance now.
The short and warm daily life is completely over, and life as a high school student will never come again.
【Little Clouds...】
The smile of Su Luoluo is in my mind.
Su Mingan clenched the rag doll in his hand, and the doll's glass eyes reflected his expression.
——That was clearly a somewhat sad face.
The corners of his eyes drooped, his lips were pursed, and there was a faint pain in his pupils.
——At this moment he finally understood what Li Mingyue had said to him.
…
[“Do you like this kind of work?”]
[“I was thinking, if you like this kind of work, you can take over my job in the future. In this way—”]
[“Even if you don’t take the college entrance examination, don’t go to Peking University or Tsinghua University, and don’t get involved with the City Guardian Department… it’s okay if you don’t do these things. It’s okay. You can stay in this city for the rest of your life and become a host with Su Luoluo. This city is also recruiting civil servants, you can take the test, you can get married, and your life can be happy.”]
…
——Don’t step out of this small town.
——Once you take a step forward, there is no way back.
The moment Su Mingan stepped out of this small town, he inevitably came to the examination room, inevitably exposed the white tentacles, and inevitably began to escape. It seemed destined.
The military's wanted list added the name "Su Wensheng", the church memorized his face, and the burning flames seemed to be reflected in front of his eyes, burning away his past.
"Will my life be dark from now on?" Xia Jiawen murmured, "I will never see the light again."
"No."
Su Mingan looked at the black fog getting closer and closer, and pulled Xia Jiawen along, jumping into the thick darkness together. He held the doll in his hand, but was thinking.
——There will always be dawn.
In fact, he felt that just a little bit of warmth was enough.
That's enough for a few days.
You shouldn't ask for more.
With his feet touching the ground, Su Mingan stepped into the dark land for the first time.
Before the black fog enveloped this area, 80% of the human population lived here. Now it is extremely quiet, with a sense of absurdity that all humans have disappeared. Even small stalls such as ice cream stands, barbecue stands, and stinky tofu stands on the street have been left in the same state as before the escape, with even the bowls and chopsticks on the table confiscated.
Hundreds of vehicles were running across the road, and people had abandoned their cars and were running away. The light rail was also parked between two platforms.
Su Mingan stared at this scene, and a feeling of loneliness rose in his heart.
"This used to be people's hometown." Xia Jiawen murmured.
His fingers brushed against a window on the street. This was a coffee shop. On the bar was a sign that said [Today's Recommendation: Cappuccino]. "Perhaps, you can still find your grandpa or grandma's home here. The hometowns of the older generation are all in the black fog."
"Only after we clear the Dream Patrol game and dispel the black fog can we reclaim our homeland." Su Ming'an looked at the lonely scene and said, "One day, these lands will be reclaimed."
"Yeah, maybe that day will come." Xia Jiawen smiled, "But I watched the world live broadcast, and the First Dream Patrol family was also suspected of being an alien species. Humans are a race that is good at turning their spears against each other. Generation after generation, it will not change."
When Xia Jiawen said this, he thought of his students and shook his head: "But I just like this race so much."
They walked on the quiet streets, like two ghosts hovering in the darkness, and no one could judge them anymore.
"Teacher Xia, you are also an idealist." Su Mingan said.
"This word is often ridiculed. If you think I am, that's great." Xia Jiawen shook his head.
