Rain or shine

On the second day after settling down, a man in black swaggered into the breakfast queue.Cang Yexiang, Caroline and him, all the adults in the room sat at the dining table, Zuo Yaoqing went out early, and Mo Shengling was still awake.

"You came very quickly." Caroline slumped on the chair with her messy hair, "Leon."

The two bongs smoked mistyly, and immediately filled the room with smoke.

Leon, his name is resounding in the world of sentries and killers. He was once the three-time winner of the Sentry Championship. Caroline and him are graduates of the same level. .Later, Leon chose to be a bounty killer, and Caroline held an important position in a high position.Although I haven't contacted her for several years, if Caroline insists on looking for her, she will still be able to catch her.

As for Cang Yexiang, she saved Leon's life, so the two met.

"Acquaintances don't talk around the corner." Leon said, "You said you found me an apprentice, so I rushed here, where?"

"There are only so many people in the room, can't you see?"

"Forget about your son. He has heard and seen it. Whoever accepts it is unlucky. As for the other one--I just saw it, let's talk about it." Leon flicked the cigarette ash, "Caroline, your son is still a sentinel who has just awakened. Don't let the children go? That's enough."

Caroline heheed twice, but didn't answer.Instead, Kuranoxiang glared at him, as if dissatisfied with his attitude.

"Lyon, you don't have much time. If you don't cultivate a successor when the sword is still young, and pick and choose you, the rest of your life will be really peaceful."

"Then you can't just find a third-rate person, at least you have to pass my eyes!" Leon slammed his glass on the table heavily, "The person you fancy, I believe, he must have talent—this age is more awakened than his peers." It’s already far ahead, but that’s not enough, I teach that one must give and receive everything, what about him? At least he has to convince me with something.”

Kuranoxiang frowned, and suddenly interjected: "Leon, in fact, Mo Shengling is not as good as you imagined... He awakened at this age, it may be because of my experiment yesterday and the use of drugs to stimulate him .”

Leon was silent when he heard the words, and looked at Caroline in surprise, as if he couldn't believe such an arrangement.

"Did Mo Shengling ask for it? That's fine." Caroline turned to Kuranoxiang with a look of "as expected".

"Also, Zuo Yaoqing's guiding ability is showing signs of recovery, and he should be aware of it soon. As for Mo Shengling, I don't know his ability yet."

"Well, there's no rush." ​​Caroline turned to look at Leon, "Let's try to see if Mo Shengling suits you first."

Mo Shengling was lifted from the bed by the man and thrown onto the lawn in front of the house.His fever has not subsided, his reaction is not fast, his limbs are limp, and his condition is obviously not suitable for testing.But Leon, who has seen too many life and death partings, has a heart as hard as an iron wall. It is impossible for him to worry about such trivial matters, and he is unwilling to talk nonsense with the weak.

Being woken up in this way, Mo Shengling was naturally in a bad mood. He stood up on the ground, his lips curled slightly, his eyes stared, and he looked straight at the person opposite him, almost getting angry.

"Not bad." Leon smiled back, as if it was something happy.But it only took a moment for his face to return to normal, a combination of frivolity and indifference.With a roar, a black and blue tiger appeared at the side of his feet, and its tail slapped the ground heavily, sweeping out a cloud of dust.

"Leon! It's too much to release the spiritual guide, isn't it?" Kurano Xiang, who was watching, couldn't help but stop it.

Leon snorted, ignored him, and casually threw a machine gun at Mo Shengling's feet.

Mo Shengling didn't retreat, he looked at the black and blue tiger, as if he didn't understand its origin, but the black and blue tiger was pressing forward every step of the way, drooling, trying to swallow him alive.Finally, it raised its front legs and flew towards him.Mo Shengling's gaze has been following it from the beginning, and now he is looking up, standing on his feet without dodging,

"Huh?" Leon stared at the scene in front of him with great interest, and he could stop at any time if necessary. Even if he couldn't accept Kuranoka's medical skills, it was not in vain, but he liked to let things continue like this.

The wolf howled suddenly, and a wolf with white fur and golden pupils stood in front of Mo Shengling. Upside down.

The tiger and Leon moved at the same time, and Leon took out two guns from his waist, and fired the bullet straight at Mo Shengling, while the tiger rushed forward to block the white wolf's path.

Mo Sheng was quick to react, grabbing the gun and rolling around for a few weeks, with a disheveled face, skillfully checking the loading of the bullets.

In the church, the stained glass windows refracted light onto the ground, and the icons of Mary and Jesus looked down on people kindly.The children in the choir wore white gowns and sang loudly, the cross hung high, and the believers clasped their fists on their chests and whispered prayers.

In the small confessional room, Zuo Yaoqing's eyes were as silent as thick fog, begging for a confession like atonement.

"Son, what mistake did you make?" It sounded like a middle-aged and elderly voice, and it seemed generous, gentle and approachable in a very small space.

"Since I was born, I have never lacked anything, even if others want it, I can easily get it. So I...I trampled on the emotions and even lives of irrelevant people unscrupulously, treating these as child's play, thinking that they I took it for granted. As a result, God punished me."

"My companion was seriously injured because of me, and my lover died because of me." He played with his fingers uncomfortably, adjusted his sitting posture, put his arms on his knees, and lowered his eyes.

"Too many people want me to die, and I am willing to die to atone for my sins, but no. There are still people who need me, and I can't throw everything away and go to hell and let them be punished for my sins."

"Will the great and loving god forgive even people like me?"

"Yes, child." The strange voice replied gently, "God loves every life, and your birth must have its meaning."

Meaning······Zuo Yaoqing looked at her hands, staring at the fingerprints on them.He could feel that his ability as a guide was gradually recovering.Surrounded by thick power, this familiar feeling reassured him, but made him even more afraid.

Is it because of last night's accident?He refuses to think about answers that border on betrayal.

The bell rang, and the snow-white bouquet was left in the sanctuary.

Swallowing all the thick blood rushing up from his throat, resisting the urge to retch, Mo Shengling leaned against the tree and stood up tremblingly. Just like that, his vision went black.The skin on his knees was broken, and he was basically unconscious from the waist down. His calf hit a stone, and there was a red mark where the bones could be seen. His arms and back were bruised and purple.

The white wolf lay down on the side panting, the blood oozing from the wound stained the white hair red, struggling with all four limbs, but Jin Tong stared at the black and blue tiger with high fighting spirit until he disappeared.

The black and blue tiger's tail was raised high, and it turned around and disappeared.

"Reaction speed, judgment, eyesight, intuition, fighting spirit, you have everything you should have." Leon was not without satisfaction, "Dare to fight with each other, and never beg for mercy. Your personality is really suitable for high stimulation and Dealing with death. Although the talent value is not particularly high, it is passable, I like it."

Mo Shengling stared at him fiercely without saying a word.Seeing that Leon stopped, Cang Yexiang hurriedly supported Mo Shengling, examined and treated him.

"Boy, I'll give you a choice, follow me to see the outside world."

Mo Shengling's eyes flashed, his face showed a look of astonishment, and he looked at Caroline hesitantly.

"I hope you will go." Caroline looked at him, "This is a meaningful choice for you and Zuo Yaoqing."

She sighed deeply, showing a bit haggard: "Zuo Yaoqing has a special status, she is not strong enough, so it is impossible to stay by his side. Unlike you, that child has not suffered much harm, and everyone around him dotes on her." He, so that his spirit is fragile."

"Mo Shengling, I hope you can make the right decision. Choose to help cruelly rather than indulge gently."

For a while, Mo Sheng was silent, watching Cang Yexiang touch his body with the ointment, and felt a burning pain, but soon, the open wound scabbed, the swelling subsided, and the skin was intact as before.

Without warning, he remembered Zuo Yaoqing's nightmare, whether it was the night when he passed out, or the night when they embraced and fell asleep after the celebration.He always sleeps lightly, and if there is no accident or physical discomfort, he always wakes up quickly with his eyes open.

The person next to him had a pale complexion, as if he was seriously ill, his brows were wrinkled, he was muttering something, tossing and turning, sleeping unsteadily.He tried shaking him to wake him up, but unfortunately the effect was even worse, he would curl up his body as if avoiding something, it was obviously summer, but he seemed to be frozen in ice and snow.

"...I'll go." He looked at Leon, saying every word, and the final sound came true, "After all, I can't stay here forever with Caroline, waiting for the future road to come one day. You can make the most of it. I, I will also use you to become stronger, I want to have my own strength without relying on anyone."

Leon smiled, squatted down, and ruffled the hair on top of his head: "A sensible child is easy to talk."

"Caroline, I will go out." Mo Shengling turned to Caroline, and looked into her eyes seriously, "It's not just for me."

In his first memory, when he woke up, his body was covered with a gray medical quilt, and as far as he could see, he saw a desolate and sad land.

The children gathered nearby were all disheveled and dressed in rags.

The crudely built tents were crumbling in the wind, and there were too many people on stretchers, their blood stained the bandages.

The crowd came and went in waves, soldiers in camouflage uniforms, priests in black, nurses in white, and people in gloves with pens and paper.

He doesn't like the last kind of person the most, with appraising eyes behind the cold mirror frame, like scanning unwanted garbage, holding a bright gun-shaped machine, pointing at the shivering children one by one, and then checking the display The red numbers that come out.

His legs seemed to be numb, and he staggered uncontrollably when he stood up.The foreign body sensation on his left leg forced him to dig into his trouser pocket, and found sand in his hand.

He didn't understand what the blond woman was thinking.She walked towards herself, wearing a black leather jacket and brown boots, squatting down, and asked, "Come with me?" There was an uproar all around.

He marched with her team for a month, during which time he lived in no fixed place, and the road was bumpy and fast.At first, he often suffered from insomnia, unable to eat, and retched twice or thrice.Fortunately, there was a doctor with him, not tall, with short red hair, named Cang Yexiang, who was in charge of his diet and health.After a few days, the bruises on his body were gone.

When he recovered slowly, the people in the team were also ready to wave goodbye.

In the middle of the night, they sat on the ground around the bonfire, each with a glass of beer, which was the last box in the car, and the fish made crackling noises and smoke on the fire.

Caroline sat with Kuranoka and two men, one with glasses and a beard, the other was very young, with all kinds of gadgets in his pockets—even if he didn't go deep into this branch. The team also remembers them, because their names are often mentioned by others.

"Lin Bin, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Go back to the laboratory and continue to edit the digital code." The man pushed down his glasses, "This trip is the most risky and correct decision I have ever made."

"I have to go around again." Oleg said, "I don't think it's enough."

"I'll just go back and be a teacher in the health room." Kurano Xiang smiled and said, "Caroline?"

"Me? Huh...it's time to settle down."

He watched as the smoke in her hand burned to her fingertips, and the ashes fell tremblingly.

After that, it was a turbulent parting.

All the tires in the camp were blown, and barrels of gasoline fell to the ground.The alarm blared harshly.The flames blazed, and the air smelled of burnt leather and cotton fibers.

He crawled out of the tent, seeing chaotic footsteps and fleeing figures in front of him.Just after running [-] meters, the heat wave that exploded behind him knocked him to the ground, his ears were almost deafened, and there was tearing pain.He struggled to get up, and saw a blue-eyed white horse not far away, with Caroline standing behind it, holding a shiny and blood-soaked knife.

Before he could make a sound, someone grabbed him by the back collar and directly lifted him up from the third place, yelling loudly: "I've missed someone!" Without even thinking about it, his hands had already grabbed the man's face, and with his ten fingers Stuck into the flesh, pulled down, stretched out his neck at the same time, bit his teeth hard on his forearm, and tasted the smell of blood.

The man yelled in pain, cursed a few ugly words, his body touched the ground again, his back hit the uneven stone, and he felt numb.He avoided the man grabbing his arm, his eyes were sore, and he stretched out his hand shortly, and really touched a hard metal object - it was the gun on the side of the man's trousers.

The world seemed to be silent for an instant, but the beating of the heart in his chest was comparable to thunder.

The man's terrified face gradually became clear. He raised the gun and pressed it against his abdomen. His fingers were wrapped in sweat and it was scorching hot.The sound of chaotic footsteps approached slowly.Someone is chasing this way... His pupils suddenly tightened, and they became as clear and bright as a beast.The man's stiffly fallen figure was reflected in his eyes, as if it was slowed down by a few frames.

The gunfire lingered in the deepest part of the cochlea, endlessly, and the breath in the nose was suddenly cold and sticky.

Zuo Yaoqing was listening to loud music in the bar, and was called back by Caroline when she was about to get drunk and have a spring dinner all night.That old woman... Although she was complaining in her heart, Zuo Yaoqing ran back to the house as fast as she could, panting.

The guests are all here, Lin Bin and Oleg are discussing the data on the white paper, Leon is smoking and drinking outside the yard, and Kurano Xiang is serving warm water to everyone.Since they are top talents in various fields, they always have an intersection with Caroline.Zuo Yaoqing had seen them when she was a child, and she was at the age of making trouble, but the bad impression she left was worrisome.

"Are you back?" Hearing footsteps, Caroline didn't raise her head, "We'll be evacuating the day after tomorrow. Your little sister Zuo Shengxi's phone calls are too frequent, and the address is forwarded, which exposed our location and made us more difficult than ours. It's a bit ahead of schedule."

Zuo Yaoqing nodded, without making too many comments, she naturally sat on the sofa and joined the meeting.

"Now that your ability has recovered, you don't need to take refuge with me, go back as soon as possible." Caroline handed him a blueprint, "Use your brain tomorrow, and do a lot of work the day after tomorrow."

"Summer is coming to an end, cherish the last of this time." Caroline said meaningfully.

Looking into her eyes, Zuo Yaoqing's heart skipped a beat for an instant, she was flustered as if she had lost her center of gravity, and she couldn't sit still: "What do you mean..."

At the other end of the living room, Mo Shengling walked around nibbling on a clean apple, his eyes just happened to meet him, and after staying for a while, he swam away abruptly, his way of hiding his emotions was too clumsy.

Is it not good?He was trying to avoid his.

However, when Mo Shengling realized what he wanted, he was extremely upset, as if the plants he had been cultivating had their own piece of soil for nothing and could grow independently.

Ah, if I had known this, I should have let it rot in the soil and never sprout.
