(21) Cloud Horizontal Chapter (6)
Two clouds of different ages seemed to overlap at that moment. Tianheng knows that the cloud fall is the cloud fall, irreplaceable, irreplaceable. Therefore, he has always taken one step at a time to see ten steps, cautious step by step, and careful step by step, and he can't care about so many plans at this time. He knew that begging the managers would be like throwing himself into a pit of fire, but he did not hesitate to do so.
"Do you know that there is a great chance that you will not only not be able to save Yunluo, but will also put yourself in it?" I asked the person in front of me. Xu is combing through these many old events, Tianheng's mood has calmed down slightly, and he is no longer as excited as when he first met him.
"Otherwise, Miss Chu, if you want to save Yunluo, I have no way out of this way. Tianheng looked helpless and pathetic. There was a slight sound outside the door, as if the wind was blowing through the corridor, and then it was quiet. "So, you choose to go all-or-nothing. This is commendable, but unfortunately, it was not you who rescued Yunluo in the end. โ
It's really not a sky-cross. The one who rescued Yunluo was a man known as M
. F's mysterious man.
It is said that Yunluo was imprisoned in a cell in the training camp, and because he had been secretly disposed of by the verdict, the guards treated him like a dead man, ignoring him, or rather, in the eyes of these people, Yunluo was already a dead man. In short, no one remembered to bring him food and water on time, and coupled with the hot weather, the small cell was as hot and humid as a steamer, and the wounds inflicted by Yunluo's previous pursuit quickly worsened. The infection and inflammation of the wound caused a high fever, and Yunluo, who was imprisoned, was already dying.
At the same time, Tianheng was punished on the training ground for interceding for Yun Luo's head in the scorching sun, staying still, and holding a 20kg dumbbell in each hand. Rao is like this, Tianheng still refuses to give up, and when he is punished, he kneels on the ground, still begging the adults who are called "managers" to let the clouds go. Douda's sweat slid down his cheeks, the scorching sun was exposed, and Tianheng's consciousness was a little blurred, but he was still desperately persevering, trying not to let himself fall. He knew that once he fell, when he woke up again, Yunluo might already be a corpse, never waking up.
Sweat hits the ground, and it will be absorbed by the hot and cracked ground in an instant. Tianheng's vision was blurred, and a voice seemed to come from his ears: "Tianheng, what are you insisting on? Insist on saving a person you know you can't save? Insist on changing an ending that you know you can't change? Or insist on fighting a different path in the dark, cruel and bloody wilderness, tearing even the smallest crack to meet the morning light, so that a heart is not in the eternal night and completely sinks?"
Tianheng, do you insist on saving Yunluo, or do you insist on saving yourself?
There are many heavy rains in the summer in country M, and the sultry heat will be followed by a heavy rain. One drop, two drops of rain, and finally thousands of drops smashed into this land, smashing into this fourteen-year-old boy. Tianheng felt a buzzing in his head, mixed with the sound of rain, as if there were thousands of troops and horses. The question marks swirled and rose in their minds, shouting and roaring. At this time, Tianheng's heart was in turmoil, "What should I do, what else can I do...... Who...... Can anyone tell me...... "After being exposed to the scorching sun and then drenched in torrential rain, Tianheng was already physically exhausted and exhausted. In this world connected by rain curtains, the boy finally collapsed into the mixture of dirt and rain on the ground.
The icy muddy water soaked through his clothes, and most of Tianheng's face was also soaked in the muddy water. In a trance, he seemed to hear footsteps, and struggled to open his eyes.
It was the strange man. The one who sent Yun to the training camp back then.
It's M
. Fใ
Tianheng has a lot to say, a lot to ask, moving his chapped lips, but his hoarse throat can't make any sound. "You're doing a great job. Now it's time to rest. The man leaned down. Tianheng also wanted to ask how Yunluo was doing, but his heart was anxious, but his body seemed to be disobedient, heavy as lead. Before he passed out completely, he vaguely heard a word.
"Go to sleep, wake up and it's over. โ
Tianheng slept in a coma for three days and three nights. During this time, he had a dream. In the dream, fragments of the past keep flashing. He saw many people and many things, but what he saw the most was Yunluo, Yunluo who cowered when he first arrived, Yunluo who stubbornly followed him step by step, Yunluo who played coquettishly to him when facing him, Yunluo who was stubborn and unforgiving in front of those who bullied him, and Yunluo who frolicked with him after recovering from a serious illness...... Familiar pictures, familiar scenes, but in dreams become so unattainable. "The clouds are falling!" Tianheng shouted loudly. Only this time, there was no such weak but tenacious voice to respond to him: "God...... Brother Tianheng, I'm here. โ
No more, no one answered him anymore.
On the morning of the fourth day, Tianheng finally woke up. He didn't ask anything about Yunluo, as if nothing had happened, just more alone and desperate than before. Later, the world was full of hypocrisy, but who knew that his original sincere kindness was all given to one person, and he was wholeheartedly only given to one person.
The days are like flowing water, and time never stops because of a person's comings and goings. Spring has gone and autumn has come, and it is the ninth summer after the clouds have left. No matter how deep the pain is, it will eventually be healed by time. At this time, Tianheng was already the best agent in the intelligence organization of country M. In the past nine years, he has all the qualities that a good agent needs to have, and he has also become the Tianheng in the eyes of the world, smiling hypocritically and ruthlessly when carrying out his mission.
"There's a mission tomorrow, you can get out. When he left his superior's office, Tianheng had an extra box in his hand. "The mission information is in the box. Someone will cooperate with you in this task, and you will have a one-line contact with him when the time comes. โ
"I don't need a helper. Tianheng said coldly.
"This helper, you'll want to meet. โ
According to the intelligence, a freighter passing through country E will secretly carry a laser physicist from country C who has sneaked back from country E. If this person returns to country C, it will be enough to advance the field of laser nuclear fusion in country C for at least twenty years. The so-called laser nuclear fusion is the use of laser as the first ignition source, and the use of high-energy laser directly promotes the thermonuclear fusion reaction of deuterium and tritium. Compared with the traditional ignition device, its raw material source is more sufficient, and it will not produce radioactive fission products and residual nuclear radiation. As a result, it would not be subject to international nuclear arms control regulations because it was considered a nuclear weapon, and could be developed and used as a so-called "conventional weapon" with only increased power. In a word, if the scientist returned to country C, it would pose a major threat to country M militarily. According to the mission instructions, Tianheng needs to stop this person while the freighter from country C is docking in country E and prevent him from returning to country C.
And the importance of this mission cannot be overstated.
Although Tianheng was born in country C, he has the genes of country C people, and he has the blood of country C people flowing in his body. But after so many years of training and growth in the organization of country M, he does not care very much about the interests of country C or the interests of country M. For him, it's all about doing what he is told. Therefore, he had no psychological barriers, and simply packed up and rushed to country E.
According to the positioning instructions, Tianheng arrived at the port of Hades in country E one day earlier. This is the port where the ship assigned by the mission will call. It was dusk when we arrived, and the rosy sunset stretched to the junction of sea and sky, gilding the entire harbor with a layer of gold. The church bells rang in the distance, and the evening of Hades Harbour faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, and was enveloped in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Tianheng looked into the distance, stared for a moment, and then came back to his senses. There seemed to be some kind of emotional surge in his eyes, but he quickly recovered to a pool of stagnant water, and he was not alarmed.
There was no one in the harbor at this time. Tianheng comes to the port to detect the distribution of terrain and buildings. As he was walking, he suddenly saw a local old man sitting leisurely facing the blue sea. Tianheng was wary and deliberately slowed down. But the old man noticed him, looked very happy, and beckoned him to come forward in English with a thick local accent. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" said the old man, proud. "Young man, you're your first time in Hades, isn't it? The port is small, and there are several freighters coming and going every day, but no one from outside has come for a long time. โ
Tianheng wanted to get out, but he didn't want to attract unnecessary attention, so he was just perfunctory to the old man. But the old man didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He turned sideways, pulled out a stone tablet, and continued to babble to the sky, listening to the content of the general introduction of the long history of this place. Tianheng didn't pay attention to what he said, but his eyes fell on the stone tablet. After many years of sea breeze, the stele has long been mottled, most of the words on it are illegible, only one word remains, perhaps it is more important, the carving is extraordinarily deep, extraordinarily hard. "แผฮนฮดฮทฯ", Tianheng strokes the stone carvings with his fingers. He knew that the word was written in Greek from Hades, meaning the god of the underworld.
Hades, a god of death who guards the undead, a god of bad luck who once infected the city-state of Thebais with a deadly plague, and a guardian of darkness who patrols the underworld to prevent sunlight from shining through cracks and dispel darkness.
After leaving from the clouds, Tianheng no longer believes in goodness and karma. What is there to believe and revere? Even the name that once made the ancient Greeks so awe-inspiring, after a thousand years of wind and rain, has finally become a vague stone monument, forgotten by the world in a corner of this small port. What about God? What about faith? In this cold world, all righteous beliefs seem so small, so insignificant. Yunluo is Tianheng's salvation, and Yunluo's departure has cut off Tianheng's last trust in this world. Now he only believes in himself, and would rather believe in himself.
Yunluo, are you alive or dead now?
Yunluo, you ...... Where the hell is it.
