On the night of December 26, 1999.

Huaxia Republic, Yanjing, Miyun base.

Winding down the path, an old jeep appeared in the distance in the eyes of the sentries at the gate of the base. The speed is not fast, and the dim lights are so conspicuous in the dark night.

Xing Chong sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the approaching sentry posts and the sentries waiting for battle, his expression was unwavering.

The car slowly drove to the door, and a sentry stepped forward and knocked on the window:

"Please show your ID."

Xing Chong rolled down the window and took out a leather black notebook from his arms.

The sentry took the notebook, and after a few seconds, there was a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes. He made a gesture, and several of the sentries behind him immediately straightened up and gave a standard military salute.

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the sentinels, the windows rolled up and the car restarted and drove deeper into the base.

The night was so quiet that the cries of crickets and crickets echoed quietly in the bushes. The breeze blew and the rustle of the leaves was heard.

The car drove quietly in the night, and at last, the car slowly stopped in front of a small cabin in the middle of the wilderness.

The tall driver pulled the door open for Xing Chong. He stepped out of the car and picked up a washbasin-sized bamboo basket from the back seat. The basket is small and covered with a small soft white plush blanket.

The driver bowed to Xing Chong and asked, "Do you need me to carry the basket for you?" ”

"No, just wait here."

Listening to Xing Chong's brief answer, the driver respectfully returned to the car and watched Xing Chong walk towards the wooden door of the hut.

Looking at the hut in front of him, Xing Chong exhaled a turbid breath.

The hut was not big, and it looked about the size of a woodman's cabin. The hut was surrounded by weeds nearly a man tall, and insects chirped weakly in the grass, and it was clear that no one had set foot in this place for a long time.

Xing Chong shook his head, and he suppressed some of the pleasant and unpleasant memories that came to his mind and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

There was a somewhat vicissitudes of voice from inside the door.

Hearing this voice, Xing Chong smiled coldly and said, "Open the door." ”

There was silence inside the door for a while, and then a somewhat incredulous female voice came from inside the door:

"Punishment ...... Torture? ”

"What's it for, isn't it?"

There was not a trace of ripple in Xing Chong's voice, and he continued: "I don't have much time, you better open the door quickly." ”

"After so many years, your rotten temper still hasn't changed."

The vicissitudes of life sighed helplessly, and the wooden door of the hut creaked softly, and it quietly opened in front of Xing Chong.

Xing Chong walked into the wooden door with the basket, and he looked at a man and a woman standing in the doorway, and pouted.

"It's rare that Lin Chang and Xie Ying came out to greet me, I really don't dare to be it."

Listening to Xing Chong's sarcastic tone, a trace of anger flashed across the woman's face. But as soon as she was about to speak, the man standing next to her took her hand and said with a smile: "There is no reason not to welcome an old friend to the humble house." We are drinking tea in the house, it is Pu'er who is new this year, and I hope you will join us. ”

Xing Chong's face was as usual, but his fingers carrying the basket were already trembling slightly from the exertion.

Several people walked into the living room of the cottage together, Lin Chang and Xie Ying sat on the sofa, they looked at Xing Chong, Lin Chang asked with a complicated expression: "You have disappeared for more than ten years, and Yan Huang and Long Yin can't find you." Why is it here now? ”

"Because of this."

Xing Chong placed the basket in his hand on the table and pulled back the blanket that covered it.

A baby boy is sleeping quietly in a basket. His smooth chest fell together, and there was a healthy flush on his face.

"I think you're still short of students."

Xing Chong looked around at the hut and said, "And your hut should be big enough." ”

Lin Chang looked at the baby in the basket and said with a smile: "I don't accept everyone. ”

"I found him myself."

Xing Chong glanced at Lin Chang, and a sense of arrogance slowly flowed out from between his eyebrows: "Don't forget, I used to be the world's No. 1 ability appraiser. ”

"You have a lot of faith in him."

Lin Chang's eyebrows raised, he glanced at Xie Ying beside him, Xie Ying stepped forward, looked at the baby boy intently, and rubbed him a few times from time to time.

The baby was not woken up by her, but a shallow smile appeared on his little * face, and he slept more soundly.

After a while, Xie Ying looked up at Xing Chong and said with a smile: "It's not bad, there is the smell of wind, land and water abilities on my body, and the three-attribute ability is indeed a one-in-a-million ability physique." But this is the child you found in person? Don't forget the shackles of elemental abilities, unless he is an innate high-level elemental ability, his achievements in this life will not reach the pinnacle. Some time ago, we found a baby who had a great gift for strength and a very conductive body, and he was a little stronger. ”

Listening to the woman's words, Xing Chong glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Your vision is still as bad as ever." ”

Xie Ying's expression changed: "You ......"

Xing Chong raised his hand to interrupt her words, but he was just about to say something, Lin Chang, who was standing on the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, this kid should be a talent with four natural attribute abilities, the fire attribute is very hidden, but the position is in the heart of the human body with the most fire energy. Once inspired, future achievements ......"

"Unlimited."

Xing Chong answered coldly: "You still have some skills. ”

Lin Chang smiled and grabbed Xie Ying, whose face was a little blue.

"Now that you've recognized his talent, let's get down to business."

At this time, Xing Chong looked at Lin Chang, his eyes flashing with a deep light: "This time I didn't hand over the baby to Fei Lun and Su Chen, but came to Yanhuang to hand it over to you without making offerings, I think you should know what I mean." ”

But at the same time, his fingers quickly dipped the tea, and wrote on the table:

"This child was born yesterday."

Lin Chang's pupils shrank suddenly, he glanced at Xing Chong deeply, and said loudly: "If you are willing to stay, I will ask the elder group for instructions and give you the treatment second only to the members of the elder group, and at the same time, all your bad records in the past will be destroyed, and no one will know your past in the organization." And in the outside world, we will also give you the status of a high-ranking official, and your life will be very smooth. And the organization doesn't limit you to anything anymore. ”

Subsequently, he also wrote two words on the table with tea:

"Hope?"

Xing Chong smiled coldly, a strange brilliance crossed his eyes, and did not say anything more.

Xie Ying stretched out her hand to wipe the water stains on the table, and there was a hint of sadness in her tone: "Stay, the previous things are over." The organization won't bother with you anymore. ”

"The organization doesn't care about me?"

Hearing this, a cloud of anger jumped out of Xing Chong's eyes, he glared at Xie Ying, and roared:

"Don't forget that we were all members of the Elders! Ye Meng has done things that far, and now he has to speak to me with a face that needs to be lenient?! ”

Xie Ying's eyes seemed to be shrouded in a mist, and she shouted, "You think we want to stay?" It's been fourteen years since the civil war, and we've been under house arrest in this hut, and you think we don't want to go? Constrained by the Ceasefire Pact, we must stay. Have you forgotten all this? ”

"Even if I'm going to die outside, I'm not going to stay in this hellish place for another second."

Xing Chong turned his head in some disgust and said, "Don't persuade me, fifteen years ago, I was completely disappointed here, Yan Huang, and all of you. ”

"You ......"

Xie Ying's tears finally flowed from her eyes.

After being silent for a while, Lin Chang looked at Xing Chong and said indifferently, "I will intercede for you in front of the elder group." ”

Xing Chong glanced at Lin Chang contemptuously and said, "Your plea will not have any effect at all, in their eyes, you are no different from a traitor." ”

The anger and remorse in Lin Chang's eyes flashed, he smiled indifferently and said, "Since this is the case, don't send it slowly." ”

Xing Chong didn't look back, he opened the door and strode out of the place.

Xie Ying covered her face, tears slowly flowing down her fingers.

Lin Chang sighed and hugged Xie Ying tenderly in his arms. At this moment, an energy field that emitted a soft light gradually formed around him, blocking out all the sounds around him.

Watching the formation of the energy field, Xie Ying stopped crying. She leaned on Lin Chang's arms and looked in the direction where Xing Chong left.

"Old friend, even in this situation, you give us hope."

Looking at Xing Chong's disappearing back, Lin Chang was stunned for a long time and muttered, "This time, we won't let you down again." ”

……………………………………

Xing Chong walked out of the hut. He glanced at the driver and said in a deep voice:

"It's still ten minutes before the worshippers appear, so get the six people from the space department ready, let's go."

The driver's eyes instantly became fanatical, he stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string. Under the horrified gaze of the sentinels, the car burst out of the fence and drove into the darkness in the distance.

Listening to the shrill sirens sounding in the base, Xing Chong let out a sigh of exhaustion, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old. In the middle of the night, he lowered his head and pulled out a yellowed black-and-white photograph from his coat pocket.

There are three people in the photo, a man and a woman standing in front of a set board with the beach as the background, and the woman holding a female doll carved in pink in her arms.

The woman smiled happily, and the man in the photo was Xing Chong, who was more than ten years younger.

"Yanhuang ......"

The sirens behind him were getting farther and farther away from him, and he stared at the photo for a long time, his eyes seemed to be a little moist.

In the middle of the night, he put the photo back in his pocket and closed his eyes.

"My debt has been paid off. Now, it's time for you to pay your debts. ”
