i am your guide

The Imperial Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Capital Star, and it is not uncommon for the destination to be the same.

The entrance of the cemetery is a dark black thorn rose fence, and the pointed barbs are like swords and halberds pointing directly at the sky, extending from south to north without seeing the edge.Two Zhenling sculptures stood at the entrance, and the gate of the cemetery was slightly opened.Autumn is about to begin in the capital, and there is a slight breeze blowing the leaves of the tall sycamore trees and rustling. The sun in the early morning is not as harsh as that in the afternoon, and it is very comfortable to shine on the body.

The gentle wind brushed against the face without pain, and the three of them walked along the atrium road with white chrysanthemums in their hands, surrounded by densely packed gray tombstones.Looking around, they are neatly arranged in the cemetery. Some of the tombstones are placed next to the fresh flowers left after the sacrifice. The light colors are extremely soft in the sun; some of the petals have withered and drifted away with the breeze.

The cemetery is lonely and there are few people, except for the chirping of birds and cicadas, there is no sound. The three of them walked on the road, feeling very sad.

There is no photo on the tombstone, only a line of small characters representing Gao Wen's identity, and a rose pattern at the bottom: it seems that it was carved with a knife later, and the strength of the blade is uneven, and the depth is uneven.

The three put the flowers in their hands in front of the tomb, closed their eyes and mourned silently.

When Selina opened her eyes, she saw Sith standing in front of Gawain's grave, frowning and mourning for a long time.

After a long time, Selina spoke up.

"There are some problems with the experiment at the research institute, I want to go and have a look."

Hearing Selina's voice, Sith opened his eyes and let out a soft 'hmm'.

"I'll leave later."

He smiled at Selina, and his emotions never fluctuated in the slightest.

He always felt that he was sorry for Gao Wen. The panic after amnesia and injury was overwhelming. The young and vigorous youth chose the most cowardly escape, and he escaped for four years.

Because I dare not face it.

"it is good."

Selina lowered her head. She glanced at Keweier, said goodbye to the major general, and returned the same way.

Soon, there were only the two of them left in front of the tomb.

The autumn wind blows, like a sad song, chilling Sith's heart. His tears are not dry, and his eyes are aching. He gently kneels on one knee in front of the tomb, and caresses the uncarved rose with trembling fingers. .

The pure white chrysanthemums were like the brilliance of the bright moon, reflecting every inch of darkness in Sith's heart. His fingers sank along with the nicks, and the cold temperature of the stone tablet stimulated his nerves, reminding him of the fact that this person had passed away.

"I didn't protect him well."

Sith murmured, he smiled wryly, and sighed deeply.

Kavier stood behind Sith, and his heart throbbed as he looked at the guide kneeling in front of the tombstone.

When he said this, he didn't know whether to say it to Keweier or to himself.

"He has been very strong since he was a child. He once told me that he would go to the same university and enter the same team. He talked with me about many future plans. I laughed at him for being naive..."

Sith pursed his lips and continued.

"Me, Gao Wen, and Sarina, we grew up in an orphanage, and he was the oldest. At that time, the food in the orphanage was not good, and he always hid good food for us. There were older children who bullied him. We, he would fight with others, and in the worst case, he was covered in blood."

Keweier stood in the autumn wind, listening to Sith's words.

"He is very talented. It is hard to imagine that a child in the orphanage is an A-level sentinel. He was favored by the Imperial Sentinel Association and said that he wanted to focus on training, but the children of Desolate Star will not be treated well. sold on the black market...so we fled."

Their childhood was very bitter, so they remember it clearly.

"I remember when Selina couldn't recite the text in primary school, she was scolded and cried by the teacher. His temper, he was so protective of his younger siblings, that he almost rushed to the guidance class to have a real-life PK with the teacher, but I stopped him. For a long time after that, he told Selina bedtime stories every day, just like when he was a child. Selina was afraid of rain when she was a child, and said that the sound of rain hitting the window was scary, so we took turns telling her fairy tales... He put The texts and history were compiled into stories and told to Selina, and Selina remembered them, and she was never scolded by the teacher again."

Sith remembered that Gawain was really angry at that time, and he wanted to beat up the teacher with jealousy. How old was he then, and if he really went, he would not be expelled from school?He had no choice but to stop Gao Wen, and the two almost had a fight in the corridor.

"Later, the three of us all went to junior high school. We had no money to pay the tuition fees, and the guarantee money given by the empire was even difficult to eat, so he skipped class and went to work. He was so young at that time, where was there any work to do? Later, he really had no money, so he went to steal , to threaten elementary school students, to help fight in group fights... none of these things were good, and when Selina found out about it, the little girl cried and slapped him, and he never did those things again."

Sith smiled bitterly.

"Soon, there was no money, and the private schools were pressing hard. If we didn't pay the money, we would be expelled from school. We have no problem with ourselves, anyway, the two boys will not starve to death anywhere, but Selina can't. If you don't go to school, you will have no way out. She does her homework. Very good, it is material for learning. He is still stubborn, what to say... He sees that girls from other families want to be rich, beautiful clothes, cute dolls, and the best learning materials, no matter what. Pay Selina's tuition fees in full. You said it's already that time, and he still thinks about it."

At that time, the two of them ate the simplest things to fill their stomachs every day. Sometimes it was common to eat two meals or one meal. They saved all their money and gave Selina the money. The little girl was also frugal and never spent Money... It should be said that it does not cost money.If the worn clothes are damaged, they will be mended, and the pages of the book will be written with a pencil, and when they are full, they will be erased and rewritten.

"When he was older, when he was old enough, he went to fight underground and signed a contract of life and death. He was just a child, and the worst time he broke two ribs, his arm was dislocated, and he walked through the gate of hell , fortunately came back alive. There are some people who like to watch children bleed..."

When he thought of Gao Wen lying at the door of the dormitory covered in blood at that time, he was afraid. If Gao Wen hadn't come back that day...he couldn't imagine what happened afterwards.

"At that time, he was recuperating in the dormitory, so I went out to fight gangsters. I remember one time when I won a bounty and came back to climb the school wall in the middle of the night, I was caught by the dean. I ran back and forth in the woods behind the building, listening to my classmates say , that night, the whole dormitory building could hear the dean's swearing."

Thinking of this, Sith laughed twice, but it was uglier than crying.

Kavier didn't speak, his mind was filled with the scene of Sith going to the underground black ring. He knew where it was, and thought about life and death. It was common for him to die in the ring. He must have been in high school then... so young.

It is a joke to say it now, how difficult was it at the time?

What is it that will force them to fight black games.

"My level of black beating is much better than his. I am a guide, and the opponents are all powerless people. I use a mental shock to create a gap. It is easy to win and the money comes quickly. Later, in actual combat As your ability gets stronger and stronger, you can go to the sentinel's arena to fight, and the bounty is high... Later, if you play with him in a two-player arena, your survival rate will be even higher."

It was a period of blood licking with the tip of a knife, and if one was not good, he would die on the stage. There were several times when he really wanted to see the god of death, but in the end he persisted.Therefore, it is not unreasonable for him to use the term survival rate.

"He worked so hard to keep us alive."

Sith stood up, and he looked down at Gawain's tombstone without saying a word.

The childhood of the three of them was very gloomy. Selina was well protected by them, and she was not attacked by the dark side of the world too much. The two of them did almost everything in order to survive. They had no relatives, no help, and the only reliance was each other. , can't cry, dare not cry, dare not stop, can't look back, as long as there is a little hesitation, you can't see tomorrow.

He had survived all the hardships in the past, but now that life is better, he lost Gao Wen.

Sith couldn't shed a single tear, his heart ached, he looked up at the sky, the sky was clear.

"sorry."

Sith gently stroked the tombstone and said in his heart.

A few years ago, I was an asshole, and I promised to protect her for you, but I left, and I will never do it again.

He took a deep breath, turned and said to Keweier.

"Let's go?"

At that time, Keweier looked at Sith with complicated eyes. Those were all the past that he had never understood, and he had nowhere to understand.He knew that he was born in an orphanage, but he didn't know that his childhood was so difficult, if...if he could meet him earlier.

"Ah."

Kevel nodded solemnly.

No matter what the past is, the past will eventually pass away. Since you guarded them before, let me replace them now.Neither my guide nor my subordinates will be lost.

……

four years ago.

Sith sat on the chair and swayed his legs comfortably. He had a milk-flavored lollipop in his mouth and ate it with relish. His nimble fingertips clicked on the keyboard of the teaching optical brain, and after a layer of light-colored ripples faded out, a The interface is this year's Imperial College admissions video.

He and Gao Wen were recommended to enter the school at the beginning, and Selina was admitted to the academy by herself. In the first year's intramural competition, Sith and Gao Wen teamed up to participate. After winning a gold medal, Sith had no interest at all.

loneliness and defeat.

I thought that the level of Imperial College would be higher, but now it seems that it is a little higher.

Sith watched the interface flow, and heard the sound of relatively hurried footsteps outside from far to near, no need to look, it must be Gao Wen.After living together for so long, Sith and Gawain couldn't be more familiar with each other.

"Why did you refuse to team up with me?"

Gao Wen kicked open the door of the dormitory, he stared angrily at the person on the chair, and asked puzzledly.

"Didn't you say I have to team up with you?"

Sith spoke with a lollipop in his mouth, and he didn't even lift his head.

Imperial College implements a model of cross-arranging four dormitory areas based on gender and orientation attributes. Men and women are distinguished and the orientation is separated to ensure the privacy and life of students to the greatest extent. However, the dormitory access is not too strict, especially As for the sentinel relationship registered in the register, this also caused Gawain to go to the Sith dormitory frequently. By the way, the students are all in single rooms, and the treatment is absolutely good.

"You want to team up with someone else?"

Gawain was not happy anymore, he pressed the back of Sith's swivel chair with one hand, and forcibly turned Sith to face him.

"Don't block me from watching the video, take your hands away."

Sith was even more displeased, he slapped Gawain's hand aside, and then said: "Look at you, if you don't know it, you might think you've moved on and started liking me."

Gao Wen's face darkened for a moment, and he pressed hard on the optical brain switch, and within a second, the optical screen shrank and disappeared.

"Hey, isn't that amazing?"

Sith, who had nothing to look at, was particularly manic. He gave Gawain a blank look, and gasped angrily.

"Why don't you team up with me?"

The question went round and round and came back again, Gao Wen emphasized it again.

"I don't want to fight anymore, I will abstain this year, okay?"

Sith took out the lollipop and twirled in the air with the paper stick that still had a little bit of candy left, he said indifferently.

"No, if you don't team up with me, what should I do?"

"If you want to fight yourself, I think we have quite a few guides who like you this year. Can you give it a try? If it doesn't work... some freshmen and seniors seem to be very interested in you, so you Qiang, are you afraid you won’t be able to find a partner?”

Sith smiled and spoke in a teasing tone.

He had read a hot topic on campus before: Gao Wen ranked fourth among the Sentinels who most wanted to form a team, which really gave them a good face this year.The top three were all monsters from the upper grades, and it was not easy for Gao Wen, a second-year student, to rank in this position.

"It's okay to talk nonsense."

Gawain snorted coldly, completely ignoring Sith's suggestion.

"Sorry, I forgot, you have a deep love for the little girl."

Sith laughed, but he knew that his brother had a white moonlight in his heart.

"I don't want to form a team with others. If there is something unclear...Selina will misunderstand me."

Gawain sighed.

"There is no more with me? I am a B+ level guide, and I am two levels behind you. I am more dangerous, okay?"

Sith was not happy to hear that, he retorted.

"You don't have binding fever, how safe are you."

Gao Wen said something.

Sith's anger rose slowly, he rolled up his sleeves, he was very angry when his ability was questioned, he laughed twice, the coldness in his pupils was particularly frightening, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'll tell you now How safe am I."

The guide picked up the cushion behind him and threw it out. He hit Gawain directly in the face with great strength and precision, knocking the sentry back. Sith didn't intend to stop, because Gawain would definitely backhand him. Throw that cushion back.

Gawain's hair was disheveled. He grabbed the cushion and looked at Sith viciously. He was not very happy about this matter at first, but now he touched the lead, and the two young men fought in the small dormitory. When they got up, pillows, cushions, and cardboard boxes were flying all over the sky. They still had a sense of propriety, picking some things that couldn't be broken and throwing them away. They didn't stop until they were crazy for a long time.

"In the future, if you dare to say that I don't have binding fever, I will bite you to death."

Sith restrained Gawain, he vigorously ruffled Gawain's hair, not caring about the image at all.

"A fait accompli should not be told."

Gawain pouted, and pushed Sith off his body with one hand.

"Who said it's a fait accompli? It's just that the people are wrong."

"Cut...whether you want to team up with me, give me an answer?"

The topic came back again, and Sith stared at the ceiling in despair. After a long time, he said, "I've convinced you, can I promise?"

He was afraid that if he didn't agree, Gao Wen would block him in the dormitory every day and not let him go out, he really couldn't stand it.

"Brothers."

Gao Wen smiled, and said as if he suddenly remembered something. "Did you know that the chief sentinel of Imperial College will return to school at the end of the month?"

Sith had never been interested in this kind of gossip, he didn't even give Gawain a look.

"A fourth-grade student, an S-level sentinel, the son of the Jones family. He completed most of the courses in the second grade, leaving only some non-advance fixed courses. It seems that he came back this time to complete the schoolwork It's over. He's...has joined the army, I don't know the specific department, but he's very strong."

Hearing the words 'S-rank sentinel', Sith raised his eyes with great interest: This is really incredible, the proud son of heaven.

"The name seems to be..."

Gawain thought for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Sith took over the conversation.

"Cravel Jones."

He has the impression that this person is number one on the imperial college sentry list. This person really only lives in the major lists, such as the sentinel combat power list, the ring score list, the course record list, the sentinel list that most wants to form a team, and the list that most wants to marry The sentinel list, the most romantic sentry list...there are too many to count, that person has a domineering physique, his name is everywhere, but the real person can't see it.

Sith smiled, he wanted to try how strong this legendary S-rank sentinel would be.
