No.293 There is no separation between the past and the future
As a dutiful and loving father, Xinghai was almost bound to his son during the Quartz League competition. Especially when Xiaotian was conducting special training, this Mr. Investigator stayed on the training ground forever, for fear of missing his son's growth. If his son was a hairy boy in the rebellious period, he might have already felt that his father was in the way and annoyed.
Fortunately, Xiaotian is not a person who will be cold to his parents, and it doesn't matter if his father is nearby. In particular, Xinghai has always been very restrained when giving advice, and will never directly teach Xiao Tian a set of labor-saving strategies to deal with the enemy, but prefers to let his son integrate his experience and skills in battle after battle, and he will only point out Xiao Tian's weaknesses in rare cases. In the face of such a full-scoring tutor, Xiaotian naturally has nothing to fault with.
The third round of Koten's fight was at 4 p.m., which was a little later than Night. He didn't have the strange habit of going to the wilderness to train alone, so he directly chose the location at the training ground attached to the Pokémon Center.
Tactics are arranged according to the opponent's information, and after practicing again and again until the skills are mastered, the sun has risen overhead. Seeing that Xiaotian paused his command and looked at the sky, Xinghai, who was watching from the side, stepped forward with a smile, "Let's go to lunch first, it's enough to practice to this extent." ”
Xiao Tian responded, took the Pokémon back into the ball, and was about to walk towards the exit of the training ground, when he suddenly vaguely felt that the person next to him looked a little wrong.
"Father?"
The solemn expression only flashed from his face, and when he looked closely, the silver-haired young man still smiled gently, "You go and treat the Pokémon first, I'll make a call." ”
Xiao Tian nodded knowingly. His father is a search officer, and many messages and calls cannot be leaked to others, even if he is the son of Xinghai, he should avoid it at this time.
When Xiaotian's figure disappeared around the corner, Xinghai immediately put down the mobile phone whose screen was not lit up, and his steps became hurried.
The waveguide messenger is a person who is good at perception and has the ability to be sensitive to the five senses. The fluctuations released by the hedron cannon were too striking for any waveguide messenger, like the only flame lit in the darkness that represented destruction, not to mention that the sea of stars had been dealing with such a creepy weapon for many years.
Subtle fluctuations spread silently, locking onto the distorted room in the dormitory. Every part of it, including every look and every word of the two people at the door, was included in the perception range of the controller of the power of the waveguide.
====================
In the dormitory with the door closed, the two people were silent for more than ten seconds as if they had pressed the pause button.
The cold and scorching light swallowed, as if it could tear the girl's neck at any moment. Luke was satisfied to see that the guy who was expressionless when he swung his blade at him seemed to frown in fear, and then he opened his mouth, "What, you don't know me anymore?"
Looking at the enlarged face in front of her, Xiao Ye frowned helplessly, and really wanted to propose, "Can we change the posture of conversation" - although she is not a person who pays attention to the way of chatting, it is too strange to talk in a door-knocking posture, right?
Fortunately, the person on the other side did not stubbornly maintain the original shape, and quickly straightened up. The transparent light gun left the girl's throat with great compassion, but the beam of light still flowed, and the muzzle of the gun pointed directly at the heart of the night seemed to be ready to shoot at any moment.
"Don't shout, don't touch your phone, stand here and don't move. Or I'll kill you. ”
When the boy said this, Xiao Ye finally had time to take a look at the people who came. As if he was afraid that she wouldn't recognize herself, the young man was still wearing the familiar snow-white trench coat, and the red Sun Wheel badge on his chest was particularly eye-catching. Silver goggles obscured half of his face, and Sayo could only see the corners of his mouth curl full of malice.
Radiance Society-Saya certainly hasn't forgotten their names. In fact, Xiao Ya knows almost only one name about them. If it weren't for the fact that the feathers of the Phoenix King happened to be in the hands of this young man during the First World War on Red Lotus Island, and Xinghai issued an order to seize the feathers of the Phoenix King, Xiao Ye would have no reason to be hostile to this group of unidentified people.
As early as Luke's appearance in the first round of the Circle, and his obvious hostility towards Sayo, Sayo had expected that sooner or later he would appear directly in front of him in search of revenge, and nothing that happened now was not surprising. However, since the dormitory is not a suitable place for fighting, Xiao Ye just nodded very cooperatively and asked calmly, "Why did you break into my dormitory?"
"Why? Don't you know why I've come all the way to play with you?" Luke raised his eyebrows and smiled, putting his hand on Xiao Ye's shoulder like an old friend who had known each other for a long time, and the strength of his fingers tightening was full of threat, "I really appreciated your care in Red Lotus Island a few days ago." As for me, I am the most particular about repaying my kindness, since you have taken care of me, how can I not repay the grace of a drop of water?"
The little Pichu in his pocket was confused, but that didn't stop him from sensing the other party's malice. Its fur stood up under the influence of static electricity, baring its small fangs at Luke. Before he could deliver an electric shock, Luke suddenly let out a small cry.
"Hey, what do you want your Pichu to do? I warn you, if you do it to me now, your dorm will be a detention facility tomorrow. ”
Xiao Ye patted his coat pocket lightly, signaling the fried electric mouse to calm down, "You mean to say that you are not here to fight today?"
Luke sneered, and instead of answering Nighto's words, he walked into the room with a loud bang, and sat on the bed like the owner of the house.
"Before I came, I surveyed you and the people around you. The brown-red-haired teenager tapped the floor with the heel of his shoe and said nonchalantly, "The result almost made me laugh my big teeth." A member of the Xiayang clan, an illusionist of the Furuya family, and the son of a Shenyu investigator—"
Sensing the other party's expression suddenly tense, Luke smiled with satisfaction and wickedness, "I really don't know who gave you the courage to sneak into a circle you shouldn't have entered." You, who happened to be a fellow villager with the son of the Shenyu Investigator, and met the granddaughter of Lie Yen Shuai by his thigh, did you think that you were amazing, and that you were different from others and could get ahead?"
His body leaned back slightly, leaning lightly against the head of the bed, but his mouth kept spitting out vicious words, "Have you figured out your position? Listening to them talk about topics you don't understand, buying things you can't afford, and casually using your unheard of combat skills, don't you feel like a misfit impurity? A mere incompetent orphan at the bottom of society, and pretending to wear the same clothes as others to play team games, what qualifications do you have, and what kind of capital do you have to be friends with others?"
Despite his age, Luke has already experienced several actual combat battles as a full member of the Radiant Society. Unlike the naïve students who graduated from the Radiant Academy, he was accustomed to the battlefield and was well aware that when a person instinctively perceives a crisis, his body automatically reacts with aggressive tendencies just like a beast at the end of his life.
yes, it's like this—
He watched the girl's movements adjust her stance slightly, her eyes were fixed, and every nerve fiber was highly invoked, as if she could burst out at any time, and laughed almost heartily.
"Well, you're self-aware, you just don't want to accept reality, right?" Luke stood up slowly, "I'll give you some good news for free." Your three unilateral friends, their parents are friends in life and death, so the fact that the three of them are friends is decided before they are born. As a result, you are an idle person waiting to run into their circle of world friends and stick your foot in it, do you have any eyesight? People may not know how to dislike you? ”
Luke admired the girl's expression of awe, even when she swung her knife at him, and spoke in a distorted tone, "At the end of the day, you don't have to force different levels together, you should understand such a simple truth, right? You won't be valued by them as friends-"
"Because you are not people of the same world at all. ”
After the boy's voice fell, the room fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Ye, whose brain had completely turned in the other direction, was silent for a moment, and then vaguely guessed that the uninvited guest in front of her wanted to hear her respond. So she nodded, and according to the usual social norms, she calmly affirmed the other party's point of view, and then politely asked the question she wanted to know the most: "Well, you're right." So why the hell did you break into my dorm?"
Luke's smile froze on his face. The little bit of leisure he disguised was immediately replaced by a frenzy, and he grabbed Xiao Ye by the collar, "What the are you kidding me?"
Xiao Ye, who was grabbed by the neckline for some reason, looked calm, but in fact, he was already crying out in his heart. The conscience of heaven and earth, from the very beginning, answered the question that was not asked, obviously the guy opposite, how did she become a tricker?
When Luke mentions his friends, Saya is on high alert. She didn't know how Luke managed to find her by avoiding the interference of identity protection, but there was no doubt that he—or the Radiant Society—had the ability to crack the Alliance's identity protection system. It's not a big deal that it's just her own words that are being sought for revenge, but if Luke wants to go and do it to the others around her, then she would rather use inappropriate extreme means than have to dispel him here.
However, after listening to Luke's tirade, Xiaoye's worries subsided a little. Although Luke is hostile to herself, he doesn't hate Yaya and Wu for Xiao Tian and them, but instead elevates them to hit Xiao Ye - it should be a blow, right?
For Xiao Ye, this set of rhetoric with the central idea of "you can't do it, you're bad, you don't deserve to make friends" is too boring, and it's the same nonsense as "water system restrains fire system". What's more, she was too busy keeping an eye on Luke's attitude towards the others, and she didn't even hear the insult.
"Don't you cry when you don't see the coffin?" Luke viciously shoved the person opposite, "Hey, then I ask you, how does it feel to earn credit for someone else with the feather that was snatched from my hand?"
“?”
Seeing Xiao Ye's puzzled expression, Luke sneered, "You grabbed the phoenix king feather, but did the alliance commend you? Didn't you even say a pretty word? Of course, because the credit was all taken by Shenyu Xinghai, who knows who you are." Even the Shenyu Investigator didn't bother to say a good word for you, do you really think ......"
"Stop. The more Xiao Ye listened, the more wrong it became, and finally couldn't help but stretch out his hand to interrupt Luke's mouth, "If you want to scold, scold me, don't scold Mr. Xinghai, okay?"
Seeing that Luke's expression changed, as if thousands of swear words were about to be squirted out at the same time, Xiao Ye then said, "Didn't you say that you know how to repay your kindness? It's not good to insult Mr. Xinghai who is kind to you like this." ”
"Kindness to me, I think you're sick!" Luke squirted back unceremoniously.
"Think about it. "If it weren't for the fact that her sunglasses covered half of her face, she might have looked more like a kindly soothing kindergarten teacher who comforted the bear children, "If Mr. Xinghai hadn't kept the details of my fight with you under wraps, there would have been such a report on file for the Alliance personnel to check at any time - a member of the Radiant Society named Luke was snatched of the Phoenix King's feathers from his hands by an unknown rookie trainer. I don't think you'll like the ending, will you?"
Sayo doesn't know if Luke is just spitting or sowing discord, but she won't agree with Luke in the slightest.
After handing over the phoenix king's feathers to Xinghai, Xiao Ye never inquired about the whereabouts of this valuable, nor did she try to use it to make any profit for herself. Although Xingying, who had looked directly at her fighting, didn't say much, Xiao Ye knew that she was just a girl who was just ten years old, with no special background or strange experience, and it was too unusual to have such a skillful fighting skill. Xinghai took the "credit" of regaining the feather on his head to protect her, otherwise she would have felt better just by dealing with the fancy interrogation of the police.
What's more, Xinghai has helped Xiao Ye too many times, not only sharing the analysis of the seed players with all of them, but also instructing Xiao Ye's Charizard to practice Flash Charge alone, and it is thanks to Xinghai's rescue that he can escape from the mountain ruins behind Zhenxin Town. If she had to calculate all the "credits" clearly, Xiao Ye felt that she couldn't give Xinghai a phoenix feather, and she had to give a phoenix ace down pillow.
Maybe he didn't expect that Xiaoye, who was like a stuffy gourd before, suddenly sneered at each other, and Luke was choked red for a while. As if sensing the mood of its master, the transparent light gun began to flash a dangerous light, causing the force of the surrounding waveguide to throb with fear.
A few seconds later, Luke suddenly lowered the light gun that had been pointing at Nighta's heart.
"Interesting. ”
The boy leaned back easily, letting go of all his guards, as if he was about to surrender in advance, and as if he didn't pay any attention to the man in front of him who had once chopped his weapon. His expression was no longer so hideous and irritable, but his invisible momentum became more and more dangerous.
"You want to rebel? Yes, you dare to disobey even the highest orders, what is it to resist me. ”
Xiao Ye was stunned, and a familiar and strange feeling came over her. This is the kind of experience where the other party is talking seriously, but he doesn't understand it at all...... It seems like it just happened once not so long ago?
"What the hell are you trying to do? You still continue to be close to the people on the "list" as if nothing happened, and the objects of your closeness are Shenyu Xinghai and his son—do you know what the consequences of stepping on that gentleman's scales are?" the young man lowered his voice, but the softened voice inexplicably made Xiao Ye's body have an urge to shiver.
However, Luke doesn't give Sayo any more time to think. With a creepy smile, he continued to whisper, "I ask you, do you want to know who you are, do you want to know what happened in the first nine years of your memory?"
The fatal voice fell, and the girl's expression, which had been calm, finally changed.
"It's pathetic...... It's been a mess for half a year, and I can't even figure out my identity. The boy seemed to be muttering to himself, "Count me using the wrong strategy in the first place." Someone like you who doesn't know what you are or why you exist doesn't have any self-esteem, and even if I step you into the mud, you're just going to think, 'I'm right,' right, right?"
He stood up and approached the other step by step, until the light fluctuations of the "girl" hidden behind the sunglasses were also hidden in the shortened distance.
"But you're scared to death, aren't you? You have no past, no future, no memory, no home, you're just a foreign object outside the whole world. ”
"Get the hell out of our world. ”
====================
Small Theatre:
Luke: (vicious) Don't shout, don't touch your phone, don't stand here. Or I'll kill you.
Sayo: I'm sorry, but I don't have a phone to touch. (Eyes die)
