"You killed beautifully. ”

The weather is still hot and scary, the sun does not know how to cherish the heat, and constantly provides energy to the planet, so that the ground under your feet is almost burned through your shoes.

The vast sky has been forged and tempered by the sun, revealing a washed blue color, and the color is beautifully clean, like the most perfect sapphire bred by nature. In such a majestic tone, even the thorny roads and barren deserts are as beautiful as paintings.

No one knows how much blood was sprinkled under this blue sky just a few days ago.

It's been a long time since I've breathed the outside air.

Gu Lian took a big breath of the hot air, squinted her eyes and looked into the distance: "Do we have to talk about such a terrible topic under such a great view?"

"I just didn't expect you to be able to do it. The tall boy had a pair of steel muscles that could instantly age his appearance, which made his exclamation sound more and more old-fashioned.

Gu Lian turned her face up, her white and delicate face was covered with golden sunlight, her long hair was scattered like silk, and her slender neck made people stop. Luo Xian glanced at her, this is such a girl who looks harmless and clean that people can't help but take the initiative to protect her, but she really killed someone with her own hands, not to mention how shocked she was when she first heard Jiang Ran mention it, even now, he felt that things were a little unreal.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Gu Lian said with a smile, "Don't tell me you haven't killed anyone." ”

"Of course I have ......," Luo Xian blurted out, and after seeing the slightly mocking smile on her face, he paused, shook his head, and said, "But this is different." There are many things that you can do countless times if you do it once, but as long as you don't take that step, you will always hold the right not to take that step. Do you know how valuable this right is? It's something you can't buy anymore. ”

Gu Lian nodded: "I know." ”

In this day and age, probably no one knows better than she how valuable a right it is to keep your hands clean.

"But this is a place where there are no laws. Gu Lian said quietly, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished, if I will only wait, then no matter how much I wait, I will not wait for Qiaoqiao to be punished." "There's no law here, so, on the other hand, everybody is an enforcer." Everyone is doing what they can within their rights, and in that case, I'm here too. If there is no order, I will establish an order of my own will that I can approve of. I can't allow her to continue to live at ease because of my cowardice, it's not fair. ”

"Fairness?" the gentle middle-aged man who came slowly happened to hear her words, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "What are you looking for? So that's why you didn't choose to use the ability instead, but poison? But when you have the right to be called a miracle, you are inherently deprived of the conditions for talking about fairness. ”

"No one is exactly the same, abilities are the same as IQ, talent, and appearance, all of which form a natural inequality, and what I think of as fairness is fairness based on 'people', but ......" Gu Lian paused, looked at Jiang Ran, and said with a smile, "If Mr. Jiang just wants to find out what my ability is, don't bother with it, I won't say it if I die." ”

Rao is Jiang Ran's city government, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, touched his fairly well-maintained white face, and said: "It seems that now I am hated by you miserably, and if I open my mouth, I will be dead or alive, have I done anything to make you unhappy?"

Ask while knowing the answer. Gu Lian grinded her teeth: "How come, you are now a high-ranking regent, cabinet minister, real power elite, and grassroots hero, where did I get so much courage to dare to be disrespectful to you?"

As always, Jiang Ran thought about what happened when he first met, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I thought you would be a little more disgusted with traitors and thieves like me, but I didn't expect you to throw all your family wealth to me with confidence." ”

When Gu Lian heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Everyone is a revolutionary compatriot, an old comrade-in-arms, you will definitely not forget our revolutionary friendship, right?" She kindly reminded him that his methods of climbing up were really unclean.

Well, speaking of which, this person is really a powerful character, he secretly became an intelligence dealer, his eyes were all over the base, and he held two simple and easy-to-use high-level abilities in his hands, not to mention, while agreeing to himself, he took over the infiltration work given to him by Chen Zhi, and the benefits and intelligence on both sides were in hand, and the two tasks provided convenience to each other, and he also jumped up and became the third real power person other than the Yu family and Yu Qing.

As soon as she thought that she was being played in the palm of her hand by this person, Gu Lian became angry.

This cunning, two-faced, completely unreliable profiteer!

…… However, profiteers also have the benefits of profiteers, at least if it weren't for the fact that this profiteer and Yu Qing both occupied such an important position, and now happened to be at the time when their power was at its most concentrated, it would not be easy for Gu Lian to keep a few hundred people.

Jiang Ran smiled: "You said so, if I don't help you, I really can't say it." ”

"Don't forget to dig wells when you drink water, you always look at the acquaintance, don't call too much. Gu Lian tried hard to maintain a smile.

The two people looked at each other, one wanted to use such a group of people and pretended to be embarrassed, and the other wanted him to help protect these people and pretended to be generous, obviously knowing it, but neither of them would say it, and they had to fight for face. After looking at the smiling face for a long time, Gu Lian was not as strong as the old fox, and she was the first to lose, rubbing her sore cheeks and muttering: "Whether it is for the sake of acquaintance, for the sake of Sister Bai Hengyuanqing's face, or for the sake of everyone being a race, it will always be a favor, Jiang Ran." ”

The shrewd intelligence dealer smiled slightly when he heard this, and the smile spread from the bottom of his eyes along the fine lines at the end of his eyes, like a spring overflowing, and looked at the girl who was younger than his daughter, and said softly: "You know, I have not violated your interests. ”

Gu Lian didn't say anything, but he looked at her and suddenly changed the topic.

"I went to visit Aster that day. The middle-aged man sighed, "We don't have the habit of building graves here, I think you must have done it." It's a beautiful tombstone, and it took a lot of effort to find such a nice rock, right? Thank you, he's a lonely kid, and I think he'd be glad to know it. ”

The three of them fell silent.

"The dead will not be happy, but the living are fiddling with the bodies of the dead to comfort themselves. Gu Lian said in a low voice.

"But I hope he'll be pleased. The middle-aged man smiled and whispered.

May he be well.

Jiang Ran noticed that Chen Zhi and the others had finished talking to Yu Qing, and were looking at Gu Lian, so he said, "Okay, you should go, they are waiting for you." ”

"Come back when you have time. Luo Xi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and his tone was a little reluctant.

When she stepped onto the restored bus full of supplies, Gu Lian couldn't help but look back again.

The towering buildings resemble puzzles of different colors, forming strange and massive shapes. Against this backdrop, the people standing in front of the door seem so small.

She saw the car chopping standing at the door jumping and shouting, and Li Dong bowed slightly. She saw Yanxu, an idiot who had taken a whole photo of her, waving at her. She saw Lei Xing and Luo Zhanghua, who had been with them for a week, waving vigorously not far away. She saw Yu Qing's sassy figure, with a high ponytail and a determined expression.

Goodbye, expeditionary base.

Gu Lian smiled, bowed deeply to everyone, and turned around and got into the bus.

***

"She's really gone......"

Yan Yuzhen sat alone in the empty laboratory, and suddenly felt that the world was as quiet as snow, absorbing all the sounds.

There was no apology, no goodbye, no soft-heartedness, and just walked away neatly.

Knowing that it was impossible, his heart, which was still hung in the air by the empty expectation, finally sank, and he slowly tightened his cold numb fingers, unable to stop the coldness.

He smiled lowly and said lowly, "How can you teach me, how can I find a substitute and then go......"

The void is constantly magnifying in his world.

At the end of the day, he's a human being again.

***

Standing in front of the window on the fourth floor, Liu Liu took Ari's hand and watched the bus start slowly, getting smaller and smaller, until it disappeared into the distant barrenness.

"She said she didn't want you to watch her leave, but I thought you probably should know what it was like to leave. Liu Liu squinted at the dazzlingly bright junction of heaven and earth and said.

"What does it feel like to part?" repeated the delicate little boy a little dazedly.

"Hmm. Liu Liu touched the top of his hair, "Someone left because of your gun, and I would be worried about whether you would just leave this world." You held the gun before you knew it was parting, and if she could teach you that, you wouldn't have been poisoned by her for a few days with such unpalatable vegetables. ”

The innocent and romantic little prince who lives in fantasy, and a cold and profound fictional animal farm.

Even if you can't let him live innocently, at least don't let him fall into endless coldness.

***

Su Jingming stood at the window and looked down - in fact, he couldn't see anything, and the so-called window was just a movie on an electronic screen that confused the eyes.

He now lives in a lavishly furnished room, with almost the same food and clothing as before, except that he is imprisoned here, where he is not allowed to go out for anything, and is forced to accept frequent inquiries.

This is tantamount to a humiliation for Su Jingming, the eldest young master who has been a loafer and a lackey for most of his life. Every time he faced menacing inquiries and former friends who were polite on the surface, Su Jingming would feel nervous, and his heart was like a piece of rotten wood, cut off layer by layer.

Sometimes, mental torture is more unbearable than material negligence.

At this time, they have already left, right?

is not angry with Bai Hengyuan's freedom and wantonness, relying on Gu Lian's support and warmth, but perhaps......

"It's time for me to grow up. Su Jingming muttered to himself.

It's time for the long, long period of youthful rebellion to end.

***

The sky was high and clear, and the bus carried several people slowly disappearing under the gaze of people and heading into the distance. For most of the people at the base, this didn't make any difference, and no one knew what the changes this group had caused in just two weeks at the expedition base.

A young woman sits next to the infirmary waiting for a dressing change. The line was too long, and she looked down and picked her nails in boredom, the bright colors as beautiful as flowers.

The young woman's life, reality, and present are all built into this huge but contemptuous building, from life to the present, and perhaps to death.

But, maybe not,

Who knows?
