“…… So, I'm leaving, sister! The sound of the teenager's laughter faded around the corner of the alley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Alas, really, I ran out to play again, I hope I can come back early today." Covering her forehead helplessly, the girl suddenly thought of something, and shouted at the end of the alley: "Don't forget to go home for dinner!" ”

"Got it~" was still the sound of laughter, dragging out a long rhythm in the air.

On June 25, the third year of the imperial calendar, Meteor Town, in the afternoon, the sun was shining.

"Whew, swooh......" The boy gasped slightly, and ran across the endless meadow with the same sharp pace. It's a nice day......" The boy looked up, his eyes squinting slightly from the blinding sunlight. "Here we are." Stopping and taking a few large breaths of fresh air, the boy lay comfortably under a large dense tree, lazily looking at the blue sky in the distance. Not long after, as soon as his eyes were closed, the boy fell asleep gently, with a pleasant smile on his immature face.

The boy's name is Xingyu, and he celebrated his fourteenth birthday in March this year. Despite his young age and playfulness, he was one of the few geniuses in town, and just this past May he successfully passed the exams for the Empire's leading engineering school and received a certificate of acceptance. In addition, it is usually sunny, so the people in the town love this child very much, and Xingyu's parents and his sister also have a lot of smiles because of this. On the other hand, when Xingyu was ten years old, he was told in the town's annual cultivation qualification test that he could not absorb true qi. For this reason, the teenager was distressed for a long time, but it was his parents and sister who persuaded him to relax his mentality. If you can't cultivate into a hero, use your IQ! The young man thought to himself, after all, there are still a few people in this world who can cultivate. Now, time flies, compared with four years ago, the boy has grown a lot, and his body is becoming more and more like a young man, but the playful nature has not changed, often going out for a day, often skipping dinner, which also makes his family a headache.

“…… Syllable...... "A drop ......or two of rain dripped down the young man's face along the green leaves. "Huh...... Why is there a sudden chill on his face~" Rubbing his sleepy eyes, which were still a little hazy, the young man looked at the sky, but jumped up like a frightened mouse. "Ahh The boy hurriedly ran towards the town in the distance. "Really, I have to be spanked by my sister again, obviously I'm so old......" pouted, and the young man's mind showed a girl holding a feather duster looking at him "fiercely". Looking up at the gradually violent raindrops falling from the sky, a panicked look began to appear on the young man's face. "I didn't say it would rain today, don't let it rain too much, I just changed my clothes yesterday." No longer muttering to himself, the young man quickened his pace and ran into the distance, the branches and leaves of the big tree behind him gently swaying in the cool breeze that had just blown......

"Whew, whew......" Just as he did when he began to leave, the soaking wet boy finally saw the familiar alley. Alas, if you are beaten, you will be beaten, it seems that you can't stay so long in the future, the naivety of June, you will change when you say it. Xingyu grumbled, slowing down and walking towards the door.

"Huh? Why did my sister and mother forget to close the door today? Xing Yu frowned strangely, with the cautious nature of his sister and mother, the door had always been closed. Forget it......" shook his head indifferently, shook off a piece of rain, and Xingyu continued to walk forward. "Snort" However, as soon as he took a step, Xing Yu heard a strange sound in his ears, like the sound of cutting something, and like a splash ......of liquid. The boy's footsteps faltered. "What the hell is ......" took a few more steps, the young man inadvertently looked at the door, his steps slammed, his pupils gradually constricted...... "This is the ......" Xing Yu stared carefully at the ground in front of the door, and after a few seconds of stagnation, he suddenly gasped violently.

"Yes, yes, it's blood......" The red color in front of the door gradually spread along with the rain flowing on the ground. Breathing rapidly, Xing Yu shook his head again, and a faint smell of blood mixed with the breath of heavy rain wafted in, causing the young man's pupils to shrink again. "No, don't think about it, maybe it's just Daddy killing chickens...... voice gradually faded, and the boy looked around. Who would kill a livestock in the yard on a rainy day?

Taking a difficult step, Xingyu moved towards the door little by little, and a tattered wooden door gradually came into view. "Damn!" Unable to bear the suppressed heart, the boy rushed to the door, but perhaps there was still a little fear in his heart, the boy stopped, poked his head out, and looked into the courtyard......

"Whew!" At the same time, there was another strange sound, and at this moment, in the young man's vision, a man in black was stabbing a sharp sword into the girl's chest. At the same time, there is also a splash of red liquid...... On the ground, there were already two people lying down, a man and a woman, who were already middle-aged. In the small courtyard, there were two other men in black standing, dressed in the same clothes as the one just now.

“…… Sister...... Sister? "I struggled to squeeze those two words out of my throat, but the volume was not half as loud as the sound of the rain." Cough...... Fast...... ......Coughing up a little blood, the girl was the first to notice the boy with his head exposed at the door, and said with all her strength at the moment. "Anyone?!" The three men in black turned their heads in an instant, and at the same time found the young man who was already stunned.

......A black shadow flashed, and a red line gradually emerged from the rain-soaked side face of the young man, and a black dart had been deeply inserted into the earthen wall of the neighborhood facing the door. At the same time, either subconsciously or for some other reason, the boy quickly turned around and ran forward desperately.

"In the end...... What's the matter......" The rain blurred the young man's vision, and the sounds and sights of the outside world seemed to be all cut off, and the only thing he knew was to run forward, and then run forward, and as for where to run, how long he could run, he didn't think about it at all. At this time, his brain was already in a state of complete confusion. He tried to open his mouth and shout, but he couldn't make a sound anyway. Gradually, he could hear it, but only the constant sound of rain filled his ears. The white expanse in front of him, or the rain, or something, filled his eyes...... That's it, running...... Running...... At some point, there was no longer just grass, heavy rain and dark clouds, but a thick tree stood there as always, its thick leaves swaying in the heavy rain against the wind......
