The villa in the night is quiet and serene, the ghost poppy in the garden with its tenacious vitality in this period of ten years that everyone has ignored it still blooms throughout the inner courtyard, the surrounding environment except for a little old, everything is familiar to him, just after a light rain night, the air is filled with a long-lost fragrance, maybe this ordinary breath is not even qualified to stop for people who are tired of the world, but for Su Jiuxia, who has been wandering forward all day long for ten years, at this moment he is like standing again on the night when he went home after the high school entrance examination thirteen years ago, and went home because he longed for warmth and security, but he didn't dare, because he, what he has done in the past ten years is just like his high school entrance examination that year, wrong and deviant, wrong mess.

Why did he think of that kind of memory that had become a long time ago, he didn't know, at that moment, Su Jiuxia felt as if he had never changed, whether it was the name that made the hearer chill, or the storm that raged the world, it was just a fantasy when he dreamed, everything never really appeared, he was still so weak, so fond of fantasy, so... Longing for security.

"Hey, why did you stop again? Yu Qianye, who had already walked to the iron fence of the villa gate, looked at Su Jiuxia, who had stopped, and waved his hand to signal him to come in quickly.

"Count... Forget it, I'll be back later..."

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Before Su Jiuxia Zhiwu's words could be spoken, Yu Qianye, who had always been straightforward, ran over and grabbed his hand, signaled Chu Feng Zhiyu to open the iron door and pulled him in, she didn't care if you are very strong now, how weird your personality has become, maybe it is that in the next ten years, there has not been much contact with Su Jiuxia, in her cognition, you Su Jiuxia has always been the novice Xiaobai who does things recklessly, as the Xiaobai of the organization, of course, you have to listen to the words of the seniors.

"Hmm... Hmm..."Yu Qianye's little hands are as soft as bones, Su Jiuxia can break free as long as he uses a little force, and now he has the strength to do it, but at this moment, he can only let Yu Qianye's pull and stagger towards the house that he has not entered for ten years and has only dared to look at from afar.

The door carving, which had never been seen in detail, was already a little yellowed and worn, and it was clear that the existence of his longing was close at hand, but Su Jiuxia suddenly used force in his hand and grabbed Yu Qianye, who wanted to knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Yu Qianye turned her head and looked at Su Jiuxia with a curious expression, obviously Sister Linxuan told herself that he had been looking forward to it, why did he always retreat now.

"Or... You go in first... I'll be there later..."

"Let's go!" Yu Qianye once again didn't wait for Jiuxia to finish speaking, after pushing open the door with her right hand, her body turned sideways and right, and she also pulled Su Jiuxia's left hand and pushed him directly and forcefully, she had always been so straightforward and straightforward, she wouldn't think of Jiuxia's embarrassing mood now.

"Uh..."Fortunately, there was no one on the first floor, Su Jiuxia also breathed a sigh of relief, according to memory, the first floor was just a place where they stored their equipment, although it was empty now, but the traces of cleaning could be clearly seen, did you really come back?

Anything, for a creature whose lifespan is not very long, the ten years he has waited for will completely subvert all this image in his cognition, in fact, in Jiuxia's memory, Gu Qinghuan's true image has long been blurred, what he has been insisting on is, more precisely, a fantasy of his own, although this fantasy is cruel, but it has allowed him to find a reason to survive, and now this fantasy is about to touch the truth, he... What should I do?

But hesitating at this moment is not in line with the decisive will he has honed in the past ten years, after a brief thought, he followed Chiya and Nakazu up the stairs of the second floor with apprehension, but obviously, he was not the first person to return here, and the person who had always harbored this fantasy and was more eager to realize it than he was returned here one step faster than him.

"Lynn... Lin Xuan?" Jiuxia looked at the person lying flat on the sofa in surprise, with his legs crossed on the back of the sofa and reading comics while eating potato chips, his casual and casual expression made him unable to contact the crazy bloody phoenix who looked crazy when he fought with him a few days ago, and at this time he was more like an otaku girl who stayed at home all day to enjoy comfort.

"Yo, you're here. Lin Xuan waved her fingers casually, greeted Su Jiuxia, and then grabbed the comic and fell down again very casually.

She herself clearly knew that all this was just a dream brought to her by Lin Xinyue, but for her, even if it was a dream, even if it was all fake, she didn't want to wake up, she was a pure idealist like Jiuxia, and the difference was that she preferred to indulge in such an environment.

Xin Yue was cooking inside, and Qinghuan was next to her. The loose tone, like a naughty girl who was waiting for her relatives to cook a meal at her own home and was lazy and came to eat directly, Lin Xuan now gave Jiuxia the feeling that she was just an ordinary girl next door.

"Ah, Sister Lin, I brought that bag back from Norway, bastard, don't steal it!" Yu Qianye made an angry pounce and went straight towards Lin Xuan, but she dodged sideways.

"Put it on the coffee table, who knows it's yours, oh yes, the taste isn't yet..."

"Hehe... Don't care..."Chu Feng Zhi Yu smiled awkwardly at Jiu Xia, now he is no longer the monster hunter with empty feelings, Yu Qianye fills his blank emotions, those places that are dyed white by Chu Feng Liu's glass, once again dyed with the glow of human nature.

"He's in there. Chu Feng Zhiyu pointed to the kitchen not far away very humanely, and then sat on the sofa, looking at Yu Qianye who was laughing and playing with Chen Linxuan with interest, even if he had emotions, but his emotions only belonged to its creator.

"Hmm..."Su Jiuxia replied in a low voice, almost walking at a pacing speed, he really didn't think about how to face Gu Qinghuan, when the dream was still far away, it would look dreamy and hazy, but when the dream was close at hand, it would make people feel extremely embarrassed.

"Ah, don't make a fuss, it's hot sauce, not tomato..."When Jiu Xia was wandering indefinitely ten meters from the door, Gu Qinghuan, who was holding a plate of fruit salad, turned around lightly as if he was dodging the chase, and appeared in front of him from inside the door with a light smile.

"Huh... Jiuxia, welcome home. Qing Huan reacted quickly after being stunned for a moment, he was not so embarrassed as Jiuxia showed but directly stepped forward to say hello, maybe it had something to do with his inclusive character, anyway, at the moment after Qing Huan appeared, Su Jiuxia's previous embarrassment in the imagination of facing Qing Huan was quickly eliminated by Qing Huan's direct appearance.

I haven't seen each other for many years, life and death part, and we don't need too exaggerated language to meet again, a simple sentence to go home is enough.

"Well, I'm back, long time no see. Su Jiuxia's originally stiff expression began to loosen, he was the same as the previous time, he couldn't tell the true situation of Qing Huan, but now he is facing this, it can really bring him the warmth and security of returning home, the feeling that even if he makes a mistake, he can feel at ease, and only when he really faces Qing Huan, he will feel that apologizing for the past ten years is something that will definitely be forgiven and accepted.

"Master... I..." However, before he could say the words of apology, Qinghuan's action directly made him stand in place, he stepped forward and hugged Jiuxia gently, whispering softly in his ear like an elder who would always forgive children.

"I don't think you really understand how weak you are, you're tired, you can rest for a while. ”

Although Qinghuan's arms are not very powerful, they can still make Su Jiuxia turn back to the high school student who was always complaining about society and full of hopes and fantasies about life ten years ago, he is not an emotional person, but now he really wants to cry, the whispers in his ears made Jiuxia feel at ease, but it deepened his sense of guilt even more, his heart was full of contradictions at the moment, he was afraid that Qinghuan would not blame him so that everything he had done in the past ten years would lose its meaning, and he was afraid that Qinghuan's punishment would be too heavy and make him lose this sense of peace of mind again。

"What, I didn't have any injuries all over my body, and I thought something would happen to you, so I rushed back. With a light smile, he let go of Jiuxia, a simple hug, but it was the most direct contact to express emotion, "It's almost one meter eight, it's much taller than me..."

"Yes, I hid quietly for ten years, and of course I wasn't hurt. The corners of Su Jiuxia's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything, he still smiled after all, "I said I wanted to protect you, it's too short." ”

"Protect..."A trace of helplessness flashed on Qinghuan's face, and it seemed that similar words had already learned from the past, "Just be alive." ”

"Hmm?... Master, you're really... Don't you punish me?" Although I don't quite understand the meaning of Qinghuan's words, I feel that all this is over, and my previous life, even though it is full of holes, is still back after all.

"Punishment? How to punish you?" Qinghuan smiled helplessly, "Surrender you to those who are in the hands of those who are in the name of serving the interests of all mankind to receive capital punishment? Erase your strength and memory and become an ordinary person from now on?" I'm sorry, although your master is very weak and likes to run away, it doesn't mean that I will compromise with the side with more people, I have escaped enough, this time, I took the initiative to come back. ”

"Master, you've changed... A lot..."I didn't ask Gu Qinghuan where he had gone in the past ten years and why he came back, for Jiuxia, it was enough to come back.

"Yes, maybe, but I still firmly believe that all people have rights, but now I understand more that some people's rights have been discarded by themselves, and they have willingly degenerated into garbage, and garbage should be treated differently, and saving all is just an unrealistic fantasy, and since we are just monsters used by them, why should we kill each other so much that we don't even have the strength to resist when they betray us?"

"Eh, Jiuxia?!" Lin Xinyue, who was originally chasing Qinghuan out of the kitchen door, also moved when she saw Su Jiuxia, and then waved her hand naturally, "It's just right to come, come over and help, Qinghuan will know how to make trouble." ”

I haven't seen her for ten years, Xin Yue is still as intellectual as ever, and compared with before, she has more reassuring mature temperament at this time.

"Obviously, I'm cooking very seriously!" Qinghuan turned around and protested softly, his tone was still so clear and gentle no matter when and where, like a flower blooming on the other side of the Lethe River.

"You're back, so... What about Mocheng?" Su Jiuxia didn't see Bai Mocheng, who should have been the first to run out to spread fun, and couldn't help asking.

"Dead. Lin Xinyue took the salad plate in Qinghuan's hand, and then replied softly, "She met the person she wanted to meet, and for the sake of her love, she offered the power of a witch and died willingly." ”

"Die... "Okay, Su Jiuxia didn't say much, although this dream is no longer complete, but the most critical part has returned, it's enough... He didn't take care of the strength of others, and Qinghuan's return already made him feel lucky enough.

"Light Huan... The water in the bathroom is so hot..."At the corner of the upstairs, the soft and weak voice attracted Su Jiuxia's gaze, or rather, it made him a little surprised, because it was no one else in front of him at the moment, it was Gu Qinghuan in the keel state, what was going on? Turning his head again, Jiuxia realized that although the current appearance of Qinghuan is somewhat similar to the state of the keel in his memory, it is not the feeling that it is like the first snow of a thousand mountains and more like the Nine Shadows Flower, if anyone is more like Gu Qinghuan in the previous keel state, it is the girl in front of her, this... What's going on?

"Her name is Xiao Xuetong, although this is the first time we have met, but it is not unfamiliar. Qinghuan's smile now has an indescribable feeling, no longer like the innocent freedom of the past, more like the indifference after going through the wind and frost, and then he turned to Xiao Xuetong, "Okay, I'll help you." ”

"Let's help first, after eating, Qinghuan and I have something to tell you. Lin Xinyue looked at Qinghuan who went upstairs, sighed lightly, and said to Jiuxia, "One, a long thing." ”
