forest country

Mizusawa didn't know when he was brought back to the mercenary group by Faster.

His mind was blank, he seemed to be thinking a lot, but he seemed to be thinking about nothing, and he was in a daze.

This state lasted until the end of the part-time job in the afternoon. He didn't even pay attention to Debbie who came to pay him the bill. She just stuffed the paper bag containing the money into her pocket and didn't count it.

"It's not that I won't see you in the future, don't be so downcast." Fast saw him in a daze, thinking it was because the part-time job was about to end, and he was reluctant to let everyone go, "It's okay, come to Storm City to play, come to me."

"Well, thank you." Mizusawa lowered his head and gave Fast a hug, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Josh rushed back from the outside, and was relieved to see that Shui Ze was still there: "Fortunately, it's not too late, I was afraid you would leave first, come, say goodbye to you."

The club was empty during the rest day. Originally, there were only Mizusawa and Fast, but now there was another Josh.

"I will remember you."

Mizusawa also hugged Josh, his eyes were a little bitter.

The warm embraces disappeared one after another, and Mizusawa felt a little cold in his body.

"I'm leaving, see you later."

On the way back, he passed the gate of the Blizzard Mercenary Corps in the middle of the street. The crowded crowd in front of the gate had dissipated, and only the flower baskets left in place proved that today was his grand opening ceremony.

Because it was already off-duty time, the sign hanging on the mercenary regiment was lit up earlier, and a few large characters flashing on the brand-new sign were particularly eye-catching.

"What are you doing! You are inexplicable!"

A passer-by bumped into each other's shoulders because Mizusawa stopped suddenly, said a few words in dissatisfaction, and then continued to walk forward.

"I'm sorry." Mizusawa apologized in a low voice, but the people who had gone far ahead probably couldn't hear him.

The door of the mercenary group opened, and two people walked out, they were familiar people in the village. Mizusawa remembered their names, where they lived, and how many chickens they raised.They seemed to be talking about something happy, and their laughter could be heard across the intersection from Mizusawa.

They probably sensed their gaze, turned around and saw Mizusawa standing opposite.

Mizusawa was a little nervous, he didn't know what he would say if they came over later, whether it had been a long time, or whether he would ask them why...

But the two of them just stood there in a daze for a while, and then left together, as if they just glanced at the stranger as if nothing had happened.

This made Mizusawa's already shaky heart instantly fall to the bottom.

The originally heavy feet started to move forward automatically. He lowered his head and took bigger and bigger steps.

Here, this street, he didn't want to stay here for a second.

It seemed that he bumped into several people along the way, but Mizusawa still didn't stop walking. Amidst their cursing, he walked straight back to the two-story building.

As soon as I opened the door, I could smell the aroma of food.

"Mizusawa is back, you are so early today." Qiao said while sitting on the sofa playing games without raising his head.

"Well, the part-time job is over, get off work early."

Mizusawa felt his beating heart return to his chest in an instant, and an inexplicable sense of security filled his whole body.

Neither Senior nor Adela were there at dinner.

Joe glanced at the empty second floor and said, "My lord and Adela have already eaten, we don't have to wait for them."

Mizusawa asked if he was going back to Guangyao City tomorrow.

Joe: "Yeah, does Mizusawa feel a little bit reluctant about this place?"

Mizusawa shook his head: "No, I also want to go back soon, I have packed all my things."

Joe: "That's good. I also want to go back. It's okay to go out to play occasionally. If you go out for a long time, you will feel homesick. It's better to be at home."

When Mizusawa heard the word home, he fell silent again, speechless the whole time.

Mizusawa couldn't sleep at night, so he sat on the balcony and watched the night sky.

Still no stars today.

He should have been prepared. The last time he went shopping with Joe, at House A, when he saw the neck displayed on the counter, he had a vague and unwilling to admit premonition.

After all, I was in the village back then. Although each person had a different part of the split, only Xue was on the neck, and most of the others were limbs.

Mizusawa took out a small note from his pocket.

That was the surprise Snow gave him on his 20th birthday.

A small note that came out of the fish's mouth and said Happy Birthday.

On the ship coming to Storm City, Mizusawa jumped over the water once, and the handkerchief embroidered with six-edged snowflakes fell into the water and washed away, leaving only this note related to snow.At first, he was worried that the note would be soaked in water, but after taking it out, he found that the note was fine. Fortunately, the paper was made of waterproof material.

Mizusawa carefully touched the four words "Happy Birthday" on the note, through which he could see how happy he was back then.

That day he also made an appointment to build a house with Yu Asong, if that day didn't happen...

Maybe now he also has a home that belongs only to him.

The bits and pieces of the past in the forest quickly passed through Mizuze's mind like a horse watching flowers.

Thinking of teasing the village head with Yu Asong before, the village head was so frightened when he saw them beating them every time, Shuizawa couldn't help laughing softly, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

Those memories, looking back now, seem strange.

Obviously it hasn't been that long...

When we arrive at Guangyao City tomorrow, let’s go back to the forest and have a look. Although the people there are gone, the place and memories are still there.

Mizusawa looked at the note in his hand, pinched the two sides with his fingers, and was about to tear it.

"Mizusawa, why haven't you slept yet? What are you doing?"

Joe's voice interrupted Mizusawa's movements.

"It's nothing, I can't sleep."

"Oh, me too, I'm going to get a glass of water, do you want a drink?"

"Then pour me a glass too, thank you."

"It's okay, hey, what are you holding in your hand?"

Mizusawa spread out his palm so that Joe could see the note.

"Happy birthday." Qiao tilted his head and read the words on it, "My lord's words are really beautiful, the more you look at them, the more beautiful they are."

"My lord? Senior?"

"Yes, isn't this the word of an adult?"

"You read it wrong." Mizusawa's voice trembled.

"Impossible. I have been with your lord for so many years, if I can even recognize the words written by your lord, then I should just resign." Joe yawned and muttered, "I'll go down to pour water, and I'll be thirsty at night. After drinking water, I have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, which is very troublesome."

When Joe poured water up, Mizusawa was nowhere to be seen.

Joe sighed and put the water glass on the ground.

Going back, you can see the lights in the living room on the first floor.

The adult is sitting on the sofa, and Adela is standing beside him, projecting the small screen on the opposite TV onto the small screen erected on his arm.

Jo came down the stairs and stood beside your lord.

The figure of Mizusawa appeared on the TV, he was running madly on the street.

The street in the dark night was deserted, only the dimly lit street lamps illuminated his shallow body outline.

"My lord..." Joe couldn't help but make a sound.

Senior: "Yes."

Qiao immediately held back what he wanted to say. Without Shui Ze by his side, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and finally asked dryly, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Senior: "Don't drink."

Joe didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and stood with Adela who was also silent, watching the surveillance video on TV.

Mizusawa didn't know how long he ran, or where he ran.

His mind was blank and he just wanted to keep running.

Escape from here, and escape from yourself.

A few drops of water spattered onto his face, and Mizusawa raised his head.

It turned out to be raining.

This is the first rain that Zi has encountered since he left the forest...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, wetting Mizusawa's clothes, sticking to the skin, the hair on the forehead was pulled back, the rain flowed down the forehead into the eyes, and then flowed out from the eyes.

I can't tell if Mizusawa is crying or it's just rain.

When he stopped wearily.

I found myself standing in the doorway of the Blizzard Mercenary Group, the windows were brightly lit.

Across the wall, laughter came from inside.

After a while, someone will push the door and come out, take a deep breath, feel the refreshing taste mixed with the rain, and just want to lament the beauty of the rain, when he hears a voice behind him.

"A Song."

He turned around and found a person sitting on the steps under the eaves by the wall. He was in the shadows. He couldn't tell who it was, but the voice was familiar.

Yu Asong walked over and saw Mizusawa who was drenched all over.

"Shui Ze?" Yu Ah Song opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and he didn't dare to ask him what's wrong, because the answer must be related to himself.

"Why... tell me, please."

Mizusawa's pleading voice made Yu Asong very uncomfortable. It was the first time he saw Mizusawa like this. In his impression, he seemed to be always optimistic and always full of vitality.

It is this kind of optimism and vitality that makes Yu Ah Song feel that even if Mizusawa knows the truth in the future, he will be able to survive and face a new life soon.

At the same time, thinking this way can also reduce his guilt and anxiety towards Mizusawa.

But at this moment, Mizusawa's embarrassed appearance broke the inner defense that Yu Asong had always built for himself.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to lie to you..." Yu A Song squatted beside Shui Ze, apologizing non-stop.

Mizusawa spread out his palm, and because he held it too tightly, there was a note on his palm where his nails had scratched teeth marks for several months.

"Is this written by Xue?"

Yu Asong took the note, looked at it carefully, and replied: "No, this is not the head's handwriting."

Hearing the expected answer, Mizusawa leaned on the wall and wanted to stand up.

"Wait a minute." Yu Asong called to stop him, "I'll tell you the reason."

"Don't you want to say it?"

"I'm sorry." Yu Asong covered his face, "I should say, I owe you this..."

"Oh, then tell me."

Mizusawa took back the note and sat down on the steps again, his expression could not be seen clearly in the shadows, only his voice seemed lifeless.

"Do you know why the Blizzard Mercenary Group is so famous? Even after disappearing for so many years, they still have a huge place in everyone's hearts."

Feeling guilty towards Mizusawa, Yu Asong told what he knew.

Ten years ago, not long after Yu Ah Song joined the mercenary group, a huge disaster broke out in the polluted land next to Storm City.

Dozens of mud monsters broke through the line of defense and rushed into the city!

Among the unarmed city residents, the mud monsters ran wildly, causing dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries in just 5 minutes.

The guns in the hands of the police can't do any real damage to them at all. The black mud on their bodies can not only cover the bullets that hit them, but also corrode a piece of flesh immediately when thrown on a person. Even a prosthetic limb can corrode a piece of flesh. black hole.

If it is not cleaned up in time, the rot will spread and expand to the whole body.

At this time, the Blizzard mercenary group that was passing by on a mission, under the leadership of their group leader, joined the battle.

At that time, the mercenary group in Storm City was not as famous as it is now. Not only did they have many clubs, but they were also very skilled.At that time, the Storm Club, which had two mercenary groups, Blizzard and Storm, was already very powerful.

After a life-and-death struggle, all members of the Blizzard mercenary group killed nearly half of the mud monsters that ran out, and the rest turned around and ran back because of fear.

The largest one, a mud monster nearly one person tall, was killed on the spot by Blizzard's team leader, a long-haired woman.

Although the Blizzard mercenary group was seriously injured, at the same time, they also saved everyone here before the mayor of Storm City and the tower owner arrived.

Hence, Fight to Fame.

Especially Xue, who was the head of the group, was widely reported. In addition, the contrast between her beautiful and young face and bloody and violent methods attracted a large number of fanatical fans.

As a result, the Storm Club they belonged to quickly broke out and established two mercenary groups, Thunderstorm and Rainstorm.The Storm Club, which has four mercenary regiments, also stood at the top of all the city's mercenary regiments in a short period of time.

At the same time, a large number of people were infected by Xue's courage and embarked on the path of mercenaries.

Newborn mercenary regiments and clubs have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, growing like the wind.

On the street where the Blizzard mercenary group was located, a large number of newly formed club mercenary groups gathered here, and some already established mercenary groups also followed suit.

In just one year, the rapid development here has far exceeded everyone's imagination.

It made the mercenary street that everyone knew later.

Xue, the head of the Blizzard mercenary regiment who had achieved such a reputation in his 20s, gradually swelled from his initial humility.

Her inflated self-confidence made her accept an order that she regretted for many years.

——Kill the master of Guangyao Pagoda, Senior.

The mission failed.

The people who got in were not only Xue, but also all her team members, a total of 30 people.

Yu A Song said that Senior originally wanted to kill them, but he suddenly changed his mind.

He gave Xue two options, one is to die, and the other is to marry someone and have children.

Although Xue felt that marrying another person was ridiculous, she didn't want to die, let alone her group members would die because of her.

For mercenaries who are often on the verge of life and death and constantly accepting challenges, life is even more precious.

She chose the second one.

Originally, Xue thought that the object of marriage was Senior.

But no, it was a silly 11-year-old boy led by Senior.

Senior asked them to live in the place he stipulated and could not leave, and installed parts on their prosthetics that could control their activities. The activity area was monitored around the clock. If they had any plans to escape, Senior could pass through the backstage The control made their prosthetic limbs collapse and instantly fainted.

As for the 11-year-old boy, he will marry Xue voluntarily when he grows up.

Senior promised them that they would be allowed to leave when the child was born.

At this time, Xue's neck suddenly collapsed. The neck is too important and delicate for the human body. Few people can survive. However, Xue survived in the hands of the doctors of Guangyao Tower. House A bought a neck instead, but the effect was not very good.

It was replaced with a new one within a few years, and this time it worked very well, but it didn’t show what brand it was, and it wasn’t from House A. Xue thought it was produced by the industry under the tower owner Senior.

Moreover, Senior also promised that as long as they behave well, when they leave, not only will they pay them a large amount of money, but they will also give Xue another mechanical neck with better quality.

These promises made the people who were originally resentful pay more attention, and also made them better play their respective roles.

Moreover, in the forest that Senior let them stay in, except for the lack of freedom and round-the-clock surveillance, other environments and conditions are far better than their previous lives.

That silly kid was Mizusawa, the name Senior told them.Although Mizusawa lost his previous memories, with everyone's help and hard work, he became no different from a normal child within two years.

The first five or six years were fine, but the more time passed, the more boring and boring life in the forest became.

There is also an increasing urgency to complete tasks.

They deliberately created the illusion that Xue was a childhood sweetheart for Mizusawa, and they would definitely be together and get married in the future.

Everything is going smooth.

But on the day of Mizusawa's 20th birthday, I don't know why the master of Guangyao Tower, Senior, suddenly changed his mind.

He stopped the task, pressed the pause button, and let the water out of the forest.

The mission of the Blizzard Mercenary Group was terminated, which was regarded as fulfilling the requirements. After staying in the forest for nine years, they gained their long-lost freedom.

He also got the money paid by the tower owner of Guangyao Tower and Xuexin's mechanical neck.

"You know the rest, I just met you today..." Yu Asong sat beside Shui Ze and didn't dare to look up at him, "You... have you lived well during this time?"

"pretty good."

"That's good……"

Mizusawa leaned on the wall to stand up, and walked unsteadily into the heavy rain.

"Shui Ze!" Yu Asong shouted behind him, "Would you like to come in, everyone is inside."

Mizusawa turned his head in the rain, the rain hit his face and then flowed down his cheeks.

Through the windows with yellow lights, he could see many people inside, once familiar, but now unfamiliar.Standing behind the most conspicuous bar was the woman he had called "Mom" for nine years.

The woman seemed to have sensed something, and looked out the window, but it was dark outside and she couldn't see anything, so she picked up the wine glass again and continued chatting with another person.

"Goodbye."

After Mizusawa finished speaking, he walked into the black rainy night without looking back.

Soon Yu Ah Song could no longer see Mizusawa's back.

"A Song, why have you been out for so long, come and drink." A voice came from the hall.

"coming."

Yu Asong quickly opened the door and entered, blending into the lively environment inside.
