Song Yuan had insomnia.

There was a thirteen-hour time difference between Lao Beizhou and Jingzhao, which also caused Song Yuan to maintain his vigorous energy in the middle of the night.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

After many attempts to no avail, Song Yuan got out of bed and sat down on the sofa in the living room, thinking of relying on the TV to pass the time, but turned on the TV only to find that there were only snowflakes on the screen.

"If you don't sleep and don't turn on the lights at night, are you going to play a ghost?" Inas yawned in her pajamas and turned on the light in the living room, and saw Song Yuan sitting cross-legged on the sofa staring at the snowflakes on the TV screen in a daze, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm counting how many snowflakes there are on the screen. Song Yuan rubbed his somewhat sour eyes and said, "I haven't reversed the jet lag yet, and there is no signal on the TV, so I have to find something to pass the time." ”

"Then you're boring!" Inas sat on the couch and picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, then hugged the pillow and said, "I can't sleep either......."

"You haven't had jet lag either?" Song Yuan looked at Inas in some surprise.

"I recognize the bed!" Inas threw the pillow in her hand to Song Yuan's face and said angrily.

There was a short silence in the living room, Song Yuan looked out of the window, the window was half-hidden, a waning moon hung in the sky, the moonlight sprinkled on the roof of the castle of Geou Fein, and the slightest cool breeze blew on Song Yuan's body, making Song Yuan have an illusion, as if it was a dream, maybe when he woke up, he would return to the old residential building, he did not receive a letter from his parents, did not go abroad, did not meet strange people, and did not have strange ......

Everything will return to normal, and he will prepare for the exam with peace of mind and wait for the next year to go to the university where no one knows him, start a good life, and maybe meet the girl he loves the most in his life.

Parents will also appear by their side, nagging that going out is not better than at home, don't be bitter, eat on time, have anything unpleasant, you must tell us, etc., there will be no more good study and don't want us to lose face.

"You're smiling a little lewdly. Inas stretched out her foot and kicked over.

Song Yuan's face suddenly drooped, as if he was complaining about why Inas interrupted his beautiful fantasies.

Inas ignored Song Yuan, she stood up and came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, flipped through the refrigerator for a long time, and then returned to the living room, pretending to be pitiful and said to Song Yuan affectionately, "I'm hungry......"

"Why don't you order a takeout?" Song Yuan didn't want to deal with her.

"The takeaway is not healthy, and the castle is on the outskirts of the suburbs, and no one wants to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads so late," Inas came to Song Yuan's side and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "I'm hungry ............"

"Wow~" Song Yuan hurriedly stood up, the cold hairs on his whole body stood upside down, and goosebumps fell to the ground, "I remember that there are still some leftovers in the kitchen......"

Ten minutes later, Song Yuan came back with two bowls of fragrant fried rice, and he pushed one of the bowls in front of Inas, "There's no need to start the stove so late, you can eat this mat." ”

"Chen Mo is right, you really know how to cook. Inas took the spoon handed over by Song Yuan and began to deal with the egg fried rice in front of her. She was indeed hungry, and when Stuart posted the news on the intranet, she was about to buy something to eat, and she immediately came over after seeing the news.

"Are you very familiar with Chen Mo? Please you two only met today!" Song Yuan didn't understand the girl's mind at all, Inas went to Chen Mo's room for less than half an hour, Chen Mo took the initiative to come down and tell Stuart to let Inas live in the small courtyard, to see how good they were, and people who didn't know thought they were best friends who had been together for more than ten years.

"Of course! Chen Mo also told me about you peeking at her taking a bath. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, that's just an accident, okay!" Song Yuan grimaced, "Stuart didn't tell me that there were other people living here. ”

"I know, I know. Inas showed an expression of I understand you, and Song Yuan didn't bother to explain.

"Do you mind giving me your share of egg fried rice?" A bowl of egg fried rice quickly went down, and Inas set her eyes on the untouched portion in front of Song Yuan, although she said so, her body was very honest, and she directly brought the rice bowl in front of Song Yuan.

The rice bowl had already been snatched away, and Song Yuan couldn't get it back, so he had to nod.

"Is it delicious?" Song Yuan asked, watching Inas finish the second bowl of egg fried rice.

"For the sake of the egg fried rice...... Hiccup!" Inas hiccuped, "I know what you want to ask..... 81，62，89。 ”

"What do these three numbers represent?" Song Yuan thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what Inas meant by these three words.

"Didn't you want to ask Chen Mo's measurements?"

Song Yuan was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly felt a nameless fire originating from his heart, and he shouted angrily at Inas, "Did I give you face!"

"If you give me your face, won't you become shameless......"

Song Yuan was speechless.

"Alas, in fact, each of us will encounter all kinds of unexpected things in this life, and we will definitely feel very uncomfortable in our hearts, so I want to stimulate you to see if you can vent all your negative emotions, and it will be very uncomfortable to hold these negative emotions in your heart. Inas suddenly said in a serious and old-fashioned manner.

Song Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect Inas to say such a thing, and his heart swelled up with a little emotion, but he didn't expect Inass to make Song Yuan speechless with his next sentence, "Who made me your sister!"

Song Yuan suddenly felt a little tired, he leaned on the sofa, looked at the ceiling above his head and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"I'm not messing with you, but you're actually trying to ask about tomorrow's assessment, right?" Inas said.

"You won't be the roundworm in my stomach, will you?" Song Yuan squinted at Inas.

"Don't say it so disgustingly!" said Inas in disgust.

Song Yuan looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, "Is tomorrow's assessment difficult?"

"It's not difficult, the assessment process is similar to self-awakening," Inas shook her head, "but the difference is that we will put on a corset and inject tranquilizers into the participants beforehand. ”

"It sounds a bit like the way doctors in mental hospitals treat mentally ill people. Song Yuan said.

"In fact, the principle is very simple, each of us has a memory, and the assessment is to affect the memory of the people participating in the assessment through brain waves, and amplify the deepest and most painful memories deep in the mind to the consciousness of the people participating in the assessment. ”

"So the principle is to expose people's scars?" Song Yuan said speechlessly, "But I don't seem to have any scars to reveal, and I don't have any friends over the years, and the people who were beaten by me at the beginning only said that I was "having a mother and not raising a mother", which made me angry, not to mention that my parents are both complete, and even Uncle Ma, who took care of me at the beginning, is now "resurrected" and become a pastor in the organization......

"Impossible!" Inas squinted, her gaze like a torch, as if she wanted to see through Song Yuan, "This memory does not depend on your subjective consciousness, but the part that is hidden in the deepest part of your consciousness and is selectively forgotten by you, and you will only remember it when you receive a stimulus." ”

Song Yuan hesitated for a moment, he felt that he should still tell the truth, "I really don't have any scars to reveal...... And I haven't had anything that can irritate me. ”

"You've never had anything bad happen?" Inas asked, frowning at her pretty eyebrows.

"Yes, but soon I'll forget, just like when I was a kid, when those people scolded me for "having a mother, not having a mother", I would get angry and fight with them until they didn't dare to say anything, and then I didn't care. Pastors say I'm the heartless kind of person. Song Yuan said truthfully.

"You don't have a favorite girl?"

"I've never spoken more than ten words to other girls except you. ”

"You're not going to be so miserable, are you!" said Inas's eyes widened.

Song Yuan was silent for a long time, then scratched his hair, "Actually, I seem to be so miserable, but I don't think there is anything here!"

"I have a hunch that you're going to scare Stuart tomorrow. Inas said quietly.

In the castle not far from the courtyard, Stuart and the priest sat opposite each other, the faint light of the fireplace illuminating their faces, and the faint scent of charcoal in the air.

This is the top room of the castle, about two stories high, with a central circular roof hollowed out, inlaid with stained glass that can only be seen in the church, and on all sides of the room are displayed huge bookshelves with beautifully bound scribes and manuscripts, each with a staircase for those who come to climb up and down.

"Do you really want Chen Mo to participate in the assessment?" Stuart crossed Erlang's legs, holding a glass of Arteiro with ice in his hand, he liked to drink some smooth wine late at night, which would help him sleep.

"She can't just keep putting it off, sooner or later she'll have to face up to her abilities. The pastor said lightly, "Actually, I also want Chen Mo to live a carefree life here, but judging from the news coming out of the shadows, the activities of the "Night" organization are becoming more and more frequent, and we can't sit still. ”

"Isn't there anyone you can trust at Europa HQ?" Stuart took a sip of his drink, "While we're sure there are people in the organization who have infiltrated Night, it's not so ...... at the top."

"Have you heard of Project Swastika?" the priest interrupted Stuart.

"Project Swastika?" Stuart first heard the name.

The word "swastika" is pronounced in Sanskrit as "Sri Raksha Raksha", which means auspicious clouds and seas, representing auspiciousness. But this is only a distorted meaning of religion in order to set off the brilliance of its own faith, and in fact this symbol represents the state of total zero, that is, "the extinction of all things, all kinds, all kinds and all kinds of things, and all laws", and is a symbol of death. The priest stood up and went to a bookshelf, climbed the stairs to take down a document and handed it to Stuart.

I tore open the seal of the "swastika" document and flipped through the yellowed paper documents page by page. Slowly, horror crept up Stuart's face, his hands trembling slightly, and the bruises on his arms were exposed.

"That's why I haven't been at Europa headquarters for 18 years. ”

"This can't be!" Stuart roared in a hoarse voice, "The organization was established to protect the seal of the demigods, and it has done so over the years!"

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. The priest muttered, "The so-called hostility is only because the cost is too great. History has always been written by the victors, and their efforts to rid the world of evil are just an excuse for their own desire to rule the world, and they have been and still are. Have you ever wondered what will become of us outliers who have the ability to be reached forever when we completely eliminate the threat of demigods one day?"

"We're going to be the new demigods. Stuart sighed, and although he didn't want to admit it, it was true and human.

"Chen Mo's ability is very strong, we must ask her to grow up in a short period of time, so that we can have a glimmer of hope in the confrontation with the Elders. The priest whispered.

"I see. Stuart nodded, and got up to leave, "I won't let a third person know about tonight." ”

As Stuart left the room, the priest pulled out a photograph of three men in dark green military uniforms hooking shoulders and smiling brightly.

"I miss it so much!"

The charcoal in the fireplace burned out completely, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.
