When Zhang Qiang took Ling Zijie back to the Dragon God Academy, Chen Xiong's plane had already stopped on the tarmac, and seeing that Chen Xiong's plane had been parked there, Zhang Qiang's face changed, and after instructing Ling Zijie to report to the relevant instructors, he hurried to Mo Lao's office.

He couldn't help but be in a hurry, that guy had always looked crazy, and if he led these little guys, there would definitely be a big mess.

Zhang Qiang guessed well, Chen Xiong had indeed arrived at Mo Lao's office before he arrived, and he just wanted Mo Lao to agree to him to lead these boys to complete the clean-up task, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Xiong's face was a little gloomy at this moment.

Chen Xiong had just learned that the task of exterminating the spirits would be the sole responsibility of the masters of each family with these students, and he rejected his request, and also rejected Wang Jun's suggestion.

You must know that even Chen Xiong planned to let the army be the main force, he took these boys to fight the autumn wind and clean up some spirits that were not too strong, and never thought that they would complete it independently.

"Mo Lao, isn't it a bit too hasty to do this, those little guys haven't even awakened their abilities, and if they rashly participate in such an operation, the casualty rate will be very large." Chen Xiong said with a calm face, and behind the table in front of him, Mo Lao was sitting on a chair smiling.

If other people heard that Chen Xiong actually cared about the life and death of a group of little guys, they would definitely be stunned and stunned, this mad dog who regarded human life as a mustard could actually say such a thing?

After Mo Lao finished talking to Wang Jun on the phone, a smile appeared on his face again, as if he had recovered from the pressure caused by the two materials, and after listening to Chen Xiong's words, Mo Lao raised his hand and pressed him, signaling him to sit down first.

"I understand what you're worried about, but you also have to understand that our time is running out, I've thought carefully about this operation, there will be casualties but they can't be too big, and if you don't go through real grinding, those little guys will just be sheltered by you forever under your wings, and it is impossible for them to grow into warriors like you."

"But ......" Chen Xiong was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mo Lao waving his hand.

"This is a material I just received, it is news about the alien civilization in Antarctica, you can take a look first." Mo Lao got up and took out a report from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Chen Xiong.

Chen Xiong took the material and looked at it suspiciously, but before he finished reading it, the expression on his face had changed several times, and he kept looking up at Mo Lao, but Mo Lao kept smiling and signaling him to finish reading.

"Is this all true?" After reading the materials, Chen Xiong closed the materials and looked up at Mo Lao, his eyes were full of incredulity, what he wanted to ask Mo Lao just now had been left behind by him.

"It's true." Mo Lao nodded, and said with a heavy face: "So I just said that there is not much time left for us." ”

"But isn't it enough to have a special group and a hidden family? Why did you want those kids to get involved? ”

"It's not enough, it's far from enough, we don't know what we will face in the future, and we don't know what kind of weapons and strong people the other party has, but if we want to continue in this catastrophe, we can only go all out."

"That's why I just rejected your request to lead the team to exterminate the fleeing spirits, what you have to do now is not to take a group of little guys to destroy a few spirits, but to find out the movements of that civilization in Antarctica for our Huaxia."

"So you transferred me back from the North Pole in such a hurry?" Chen Xiong returned the materials in his hand to Mo Lao and asked in a calm tone.

"That's right." Mo Lao nodded and said, "Among all the powerhouses of the Alien and the Hidden Family, only you have the experience of conducting missions in the Extremely Cold Region for many years, and your strength is not weak compared to Ling Tian, so you are the best candidate for this mission." ”

After listening to Mo Lao, Chen Xiong was silent, in fact, he was not a madman who loved to kill, nor was he a cold-blooded butcher who ignored family and friendship, on the contrary, it was precisely because his love was as deep as the sea, and it was precisely because of his deep brotherhood that he would do such crazy things in the last battle.

"I know." Chen Xiong was silent for a long time and finally nodded, and then reached out and took out a pocket watch from his arms.

This pocket watch is a memory for him, but also a pain, he has been carrying it with him all these years, and he often holds it in his hand and rubs it gently, but he has never opened it.

He didn't want to remember that memory again, he couldn't bear to see those smiling faces again, this pocket watch was like a shackle on his heart, he often touched it, but he couldn't open it.

Seeing Chen Xiong take out this watch again, Mo Lao's face showed a faint sadness, he sighed and said to Chen Xiong, who looked down at the pocket watch: "The past, let him pass, you have been self-imprisoned in the North Pole for so many years, even if there is a big mistake, it has been returned, I believe that they will never blame you in the spirit of heaven." ”

Chen Xiong didn't speak, his fingers kept rubbing gently on the lid of the pocket watch, as if touching the most beloved woman.

"Do you know Mo Lao, I have been asking myself a question day and night all the years I have been in the North Pole." Chen Xiong said as he rubbed his pocket watch, as if recalling an extremely old story.

"I asked myself, was what I was doing at the time really wrong? Am I really just a mad dog? I kept thinking about it, but I couldn't think of an answer, and every time I closed my eyes, the young faces of the boys would come to me, all covered in blood, screaming at me, screaming for me to avenge them. Speaking of this, Chen Xiong raised his head slightly and looked at the ceiling in a daze, as if he could see those former siblings on the ceiling.

"I avenged them, I killed those miscellaneous and cruel torturers, but they can no longer laugh and call me Brother Xiong, I thought I would always be in the North Pole like this, going through this kind of torment day and night, but you let me see another group of boys."

As he spoke, Chen Xiong suddenly laughed, "When I first came to the classroom of the second class of the dragon god, those boys were unruly and unruly, they were really the same as them, the same young and frivolous, the same fearless, and at that moment I seemed to see their shadows in those boys, as if they had returned to me again." ”

"It occurred to me that these little ones must be them, and they came back to me in this way."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiong pressed his finger lightly, and the pocket watch that he had not opened for many years popped open, revealing a photo inside.

In the photo, seven or eight boys gathered around him and threw him high, everyone was laughing, even he had a happy smile on his face, and in a corner next to him, a beautiful woman who was as light as a chrysanthemum was covering her small mouth and chuckling at him who was thrown in the air, her eyes were also full of happiness.

Chen Xiong stared at the photo quietly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew, "Brothers, are you back?" ”

Mo Lao didn't speak, listened quietly, and saw that Chen Xiong finally opened the pocket watch, the pretended relaxed smile on his face disappeared, and when he changed to a happy face, he knew that this man with a strong appearance had finally opened the shackles in his heart.

"So you are so insistent on taking them on a mission this time, do you want to make up for the regret in your heart?"

"Regrets?" Chen Xiong raised his head, looked at Mo Lao and shook his head with a slight smile, "No regrets, it turns out that I always felt that if they called me Brother Xiong, I should be responsible for their fate, but I have figured it out now." ”

"Everyone has their own way to go, whether it is difficult or not, this is the road they must walk on their own, I have no right to intervene and no ability to change, you are right, they do need real blood to grow stronger, thank you, Lao Mo."

Chen Xiong smiled at Mo Lao, closed his pocket watch and put it back into his arms.

"Tell me when I'm leaving."

Crunch! As soon as Chen Xiong finished saying this, the door of the office was suddenly opened, Zhang Qiang hurriedly ran in, and Zhang Qiang and Mo Lao turned their heads at the same time.

"Mo Lao, Chen Xiong's guy ......" Zhang Qiang just said this, and when he saw Chen Xiong sitting opposite Mo Lao, he was full of excitement, and he was stunned and didn't dare to say more.

"Brother Xiong ......, Brother Xiong is also there." He looked at Chen Xiong with a sneer, his face embarrassed.

Chen Xiong stood up with a slight smile at him, turned back to Mo Lao and said, "I'll go see those boys first, and let me know when the time is set." After speaking, he walked up to Zhang Qiang, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and walked out.

Zhang Qiang stood motionless, when Chen Xiong walked over to him just now, although he knew that this guy would not dare to do anything to himself in front of Mo Lao, but a fine sweat still oozed from his forehead, especially when he patted his shoulder, he felt that his legs and stomach were weak, and he almost knelt down directly.

When Chen Xiong walked out of the office and closed the door, Zhang Qiang raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat on his head and let out a sigh.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang was scared like this, Mo Lao couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, are you so afraid of him?" ”

"Who is not afraid of this guy, even Brother Ling Tian doesn't dare to do it against this guy easily." Zhang Qiang said a word, stepped forward to Mo Lao's side, "By the way, Mo Lao, just now he wanted to ask you for the command of this clean-up operation, right?" ”

"What? Is there a problem? Mo Lao smiled and asked deliberately.

"This is not good, you don't know that guy's temperament, if he is allowed to command this operation, will those little guys come back alive? Mo Lao, you must think twice. ”

Seeing Zhang Qiang's nervous look, Mo Lao laughed: "Don't worry, I just chatted with him just now, and I didn't say anything, by the way, are the students all back?" ”

Hearing what Mo Lao said, Zhang Qiang was a lot relieved, nodded and said, "I'm back, a few boys ran away, but there were no accidents, but ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qiang wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to say some doubts about Ling Zijie in his heart, but he was afraid that Mo Lao would be unhappy, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"If you have something to say, what are you pretending to be with me." Mo Lao knew this guy's temperament, and raised his head and glared at him angrily.

Zhang Qiang grabbed his bald head and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Ling Zijie seems to have a problem." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Zhang Qiang talk about Ling Zijie, Mo Lao was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"That's the ......" Zhang Qiang said the matter of Ling Zijie's special mission this time, and also said some of his doubts about him.

"It is said that he hasn't opened the ability yet, even if he has the Tianyuan Secret you gave him, it is impossible to open the prohibition there, but this time, I can't think of anyone else except him, so I ......"

"So you think that kid is hiding something from us?" After listening to Zhang Qiang, Mo Lao raised his head and asked.

"Very likely." Zhang Qiang nodded affirmatively and said, "I'm wondering, is that kid the one from the family that spread the news?" ”
