forest country

Throughout the rest of the reception, Mizusawa was filled with indescribable excitement and joy.

Knowing that Senior wasn't being used, did he lessen his self-blame and guilt?Or is it the worship of Senior who can be so powerful that it seems that he can hold everything in his hands?

Even Mizusawa himself couldn't tell.

Maybe it's both, but it's not just the two.

Tolan went up to the second floor, found a lounge and sat down on the sofa, leaning against the soft and elastic backrest, and sighed comfortably.

Although the wound on the shoulder had been bandaged, it was still throbbing and painful because the gun penetrated too deeply and hurt the muscles and bones.What's more, his broken arm was connected to a prosthesis before it fully recovered.

Tolland closed his eyes, bleeding too much before, and still a little dizzy now.

He has been standing upright until the end of the dance, and persisted until now like a normal person, just not wanting to show a little weakness in front of everyone.

And that damned woman, who was still holding on to his shoulders while dancing, pinched the wound with her fingers, and Tolland had worked so hard not to throw her out just now.

After all, she is the daughter of the mayor of Guangyao City, and she is an important person related to whether she can directly contact the mayor of Guangyao City.

Eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, Tolan seems to be dreaming or waking up, as if dreaming of his childhood...

He saw himself falling and crying, and the back of his father leaving without looking back.

The child wiping his nose and tears sat on the ground and kept calling "Daddy, Daddy", but his daddy never came back.Toland's father abandoned him and his mother when they were young, married the banker's daughter, and began to step into the privileged class that made them look up and out of reach.

Although his father is gone, Toland's childhood was not unhappy.

Because he has a good mother.

He has what the other kids have, and he has what the other kids don't.His mother sent him to school, explained his doubts, and told him to be grateful and discover small touches.

The woman with soft hair held Tolan in her arms, and her thin body gave him the greatest warmth and support.

That was the day Tolland lost his lower leg, following his broken left foot.

Tolan couldn't remember many things when he was a child, but he remembered the scene that day very clearly.

The calf broke suddenly. He was playing in the yard, playing ghost hunting with a few friends. He happened to be a ghost in that game. He jumped up and down and shouted "Catch me, catch me", but suddenly raised his head It fell down, completely without warning.

The calf was broken, and it was breaking fast.

Amid the shouts of his friends, he didn't even realize what happened. He just saw his mechanical foot fall to the ground, and the calf connected to the foot also fell to the ground. The flesh and bones seemed to melt into a ball, thick Lying thickly next to his knees, there seemed to be only a centimeter between them.

It is so narrow that it seems that it can grow back in the next second.

His sluggishness didn't stop until he saw his mother rushing over in a panic, and then it seemed to turn on a switch to cry.

The magical love in his mother's voice easily comforted Tolland, who was screaming in terror.Tolan's voice gradually became much smaller, and he turned to his mother for help with tears and choking on his face, complaining hoarsely about his pain, and wanted to find someone to rely on.

"We are grateful for our lives. Physical disabilities are nothing, right? As long as we have life and we are alive, we have infinite possibilities. You have me, and I have you, and in the future, you will have even more A lot of your stuff."

"Tolan, we have a life, so we have a future."

Tolan opened his eyes and wiped away the tears that flowed down his face at some point.

Since his mother passed away and entrusted him to his former father, he seldom recalled things about his mother.

The person who promised to stay with me at the beginning left first.

She is a liar.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the lounge door.

"Please come in."

Tolan thought that Obadiah had something to report to him, and sat up straight when his voice fell.

But it was his banker father who opened the door.

"My son, I'm proud of you," Toland's father said.

Tolan showed a moved expression: "Thanks to my father's support, otherwise I would not be able to complete my plan so smoothly."

His father smiled and was satisfied with Tolan's attitude.

After he left, the expression on Tolan's face disappeared immediately.

On his first afternoon at his father's house, his half-sister cut up his teddy bear.The brown bear fabric was broken into four or five pieces, and the cotton stuffing inside was also dug out.

His sister said to him with a smile.

"This is my home and you are not welcome."

But Tolland couldn't hear her at all. All he could see was the little bear that had been thrown aside. It was a birthday present his mother had made for him when he was ten years old.

Tolland left the lounge and took the elevator up to the top floor.

But this is not the top of the Storm Tower, but the penultimate floor.

Tolland stood before the stairs leading to the real top of the tower, which was blocked by a closed gate.

And Tolan did not have the key to this door.

He tried all the methods, but he couldn't find a way to open the door, and there was no similar key in all the items left by the previous tower owner.

The color and material of the door in front of him seemed to be integrated with the tower, which made it impossible for Tolan to judge whether the door had always existed or was just made by the previous tower owner.

Tolan closed his eyes with a headache, maybe Gao Yi, the former tower master's confidant, would know something.

It's just that things aren't friendly between them right now.

Tolan walked to the glass window of the tower on this floor and looked down condescendingly. Even though this was the penultimate floor, it was still the highest point of the city.He can look at the scenery in the city unscrupulously, and has a trance feeling of trampling them under his feet.

The kind of self-confidence that seemed to be infinitely inflated made Tolan close his eyes again.

No, he thought.

I'm not strong enough to be unscrupulous.

Tolan calculated the time, and it was probably almost the end of the reception.

Then he took the elevator down slowly.

Except for the first floor to the second floor and the top floor of this tower, the rest of the tower can be directly accessed by elevator, and the password of the elevator is set by the tower owner.

When I walked to the first floor, I was not surprised to see Obadiah who continued to guard here.

"Did you put my father in there?" Tolland asked.

After being stunned for a moment, Obadiah regretted it in his heart. He wanted to stop Tolan's father when he was about to go up just now, but he was afraid of offending him and the new tower master.After all, the relationship between their father and son is still very good in the eyes of outsiders.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I..." Obadiah wanted to explain in a panic.

Toland: "One last time."

Obadiah immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes, my lord."

The last speech and concluding remarks of the new Storm Tata Master Tolan drew a successful conclusion to this reception.

The people who had harvested a lot also left one after another satisfied.

They gained a new friendship here, as well as a general understanding of the new tower master. Although the attack was fierce, he was still a young boy with a little childishness who listened to his father.

What these mean is up to them to judge for themselves.

Mizusawa followed Senior out of the gate of the Storm Tower, and immediately looked forward to it.

Regarding the piece of iron that was hidden by Senior, he had been fascinated all night.

"You two go first." Senior told Joe and Adela.

"Yes, my lord."

Senior walked to the back of Mizusawa's wheelchair and pushed him to the outer wall of the Storm Tower not far away.

"Look here."

Mizusawa followed Senior's fingers and saw that it was just an ordinary outer wall, no different from other places around.Probably because it is at the root of the wall, less than half a meter above the ground, this place has experienced more wind and frost than the surrounding higher walls, and there are small scratches all over it.

Ordinary like the rest of the tower's walls, nothing special.

wrong!Mizusawa bent down to look at the area more carefully.

He reached out and touched it carefully, back and forth three times.

He touched a thin depression the size of a palm!It is so light that it will make you feel like an illusion, and the color is not different from the surrounding ones, but there is indeed a piece of light iron sheet missing here.

It's the one in Senior's hand!

Mizusawa looked up at Senior in surprise, and the answer was ready to come out.

Senior promptly covered his mouth.

"Woooooo!"

"Let's go." Senior pushed Mizusawa's wheelchair with the corner of his mouth bent.

Their actions on the wall did not attract the attention of others, as if two people stopped at the foot of the storm tower and chatted quietly for a while.

There are many people similar to them around. After all, this reception is a very good social place, and many people are still reluctant to part with it.

Mizusawa grinned and endured back to the two-story building.

"Show me now."

Senior waved his finger in front of Mizusawa, and the iron sheet appeared between the index finger and middle finger.

Mizusawa received it with curiosity and excitement about the unknown.

I saw a few words engraved on the iron plate.

[Built on May 2128, 5. 】

It's like a simple and maybe a little weird build time stamp, but other than that it doesn't seem to be different.The material of the iron sheet is similar to that of Tapi, and the text is also a common text here, and every word is recognized.

But it is like a water glass filled with water, and another drop of water dripped on it.

The water in the entire water glass overflowed in an instant.

Mizusawa's heart was pounding, and he raised his head subconsciously and asked Senior.

"What does this 2128 mean?"

Senior lowered his eyes: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be another unit of measurement that we don't have besides the month and the day."

For the word year, they will say this year, the year before next year, three years ago, ten years ago, etc., but they never add a specific number in front of the year to represent which year.

This is obviously a better way to calculate time or events, and it is obviously a word that can be understood quickly as long as it is simply spoken.

But it happened to be ignored by everyone...

Are the people here stupid, or have they been deliberately erased.

Mizusawa saw the clock hanging on the wall of the house, the second hand was still moving, and the minute and hour hands were waiting.

The calendar on the table has twelve pages in total.Every year ends from January to December, followed by the arrival of the new year, which will start counting from January again, and you only need to turn the calendar that has been turned to the bottom to the beginning.

There are 60 seconds in one minute, and sixty minutes in one hour.

There are 30 days in January and December in a year.

What about that year.

What about the missing numbers before the year...

Mizusawa felt cold all over.

At the foot of the Storm Tower, a dragonfly was parked on the tip of a leaf. When it flew up again, the long thin wings on its back suddenly broke, and the dragonfly fell straight to the ground.It struggled to fly again, but was stepped on by a passing person.

After the man walked away, the dragonfly trembled its legs, then froze, its time stopped at this moment forever.
