Shore barely sleeps all night.

Throughout the night, whenever he felt that he was about to fall asleep, his mind would always be filled with infinite absurdity and horror scenes, so that the sleepiness he had just had just had was dispelled. went back and forth several times like this, and he couldn't bear to be disturbed, and he directly made up his mind not to sleep.

"You don't seem to be in good spirits. As soon as Ye Xiang walked in the door, he saw two dark circles on Xiao Er's face. "Have you not slept all night, or do you want to learn from China's giant pandas?"

Xiao Er scratched his messy hair and smiled helplessly: "No way, it seems that I really have insomnia, maybe I should try your Chinese Chinese medicine next time." ”

Ye Xiang pursed his lips: "Chinese medicine is not drunk indiscriminately, this is a broad and profound knowledge, be careful to poison you by drinking indiscriminately." ”

The two of them were joking with each other, but Raven rushed in one step at a time.

Looking at the panting Raven, Shore asked with a surprised face, "Why are you panting like this?" ”

Raven asked breathlessly, "You still asked me, something happened last night, don't you know?"

Xiao Er and Ye Xiang looked at each other, and they both looked puzzled. Raven looked at the two of them with a look of not knowing anything, and he couldn't help but feel angry: "Last night, Bolton left overnight, and he took all our reports and research data with him, so we have been working for nothing for the past few days." ”

"What are you talking about!?" Shore jumped out of bed, his teeth bared in pain from the wound he accidentally pulled, "Did Bolton leave last night? He didn't report to me that he had left, and he took all our data with him, what the hell is that man going to do?"

"Looks like he's ready to break away from our nickname. Ye Xiang calmly analyzed, "After all, he used to be a member of the Wild Hunt, and people like them can't get along with normal people in the first place." As for him taking our data, it is probably an order directly given to him from above. ”

"I think the vice-captain has a point. Raven said approvingly. "That guy might have been a spy sent by Wild Hunt to keep an eye on us, and he felt like he wasn't fit to stay with us last night, so he fled overnight. ”

Shore nodded with a gloomy face, but his heart was depressed, could that man really be a spy?

As he wondered what to do next, Nicholas hurriedly opened the door of the tent, and before he could say a word, he drank several glasses of water until the last drop of water in his throat flowed into his throat.

"What's wrong with you?" Raven asked, staring at a sweaty Nicholas, "There won't be any bad news, right?"

Nicholas wiped his face: "There is really bad news for you, don't get excited and listen to me first, Clough John Retiff is dead." ”

Nicholas brought the news like a grenade thrown in the midst of the three, their faces filled with shock and disbelief, and it took several minutes for them to wake up from the explosive news.

"How did Mr. Clough die?" Shore could feel his voice distorted with grief, he never imagined that someone would do anything to such an old senior.

Nicholas looked at the grief-stricken Shore and swallowed: "His death was so tragic that his entire body was almost torn apart, and his brain was taken away. To make matters worse, the man who did it was digging out Mr. Clough's brain alive while he was still alive. His voice trembled with emotion. "What a terrible atrocity, they actually did such a murder to an old man. ”

Shore slammed his fist into the table next to the bed, so force that it left marks on the solid wooden tabletop, and his hands oozed blood.

"These guys!" Shore was about to deform because of his hatred, "it was the hell guys who did it, and because Clough helped us make that prophecy, they must get rid of him." Now I finally know why Mr. Clough didn't tell us the truth directly. ”

"You don't mean that-" Ye Xiang said with a sudden realization.

"That's right. "He had long expected that he would die, so he decided to erase the truth he knew from his brain forever, so that even if hell got his brain, it would be useless." If we had known, Hell would have been hunting us down, so he told us the secret words in the form of prophecy so that we could avoid the pursuit, and he would sacrifice his own life to protect us. ”

Silence fell again, everyone's eyes were full of grief and reverence, the old man who had fought for humanity all his life died, but he kept the spark of hope alive, and perhaps he would be happy from the bottom of his heart because of what he had finally done before he died.

"He's a great guy. Raven held back his tears, "He has indeed passed on the spirit of fighting to the end to us." ”

Nicholas's voice was almost choked: "It's so good! He has finally fulfilled his last dream and can pass on the flame of hope, he should feel that he has no regrets in his life, right?"

"He fulfilled his mission, and because of him we can continue to fight, and he died as a hero, and his spirit lives on. Tears swirled in Ye Xiang's eyes, but he stubbornly didn't let it flow.

Shore didn't say a word, he calmly put on his battle suit, and then without saying a word, he retracted the double sword of Maiya hanging from the bedside into the scabbard behind his back. He is no longer confused, whether he will go to war with his brother or not, and whether humanity must be exterminated or not, all he can do now is to walk on the path paved by countless predecessors with corpses, maybe he will also become a member of the corpses, but as long as he can guard the smiles of others, what is there to fear from death?

"Let's go too. Shore stood in front of the tent door facing the rising sun and said that no one could see the tears on his face, but Shore was glad that others could not see it, after all, a true warrior would not shed tears, and he did not want to insult Mr. Clough's noble sacrifice with tears. "Call Wakaba and Rex as well, and let's set off now, heading for that glorious and fearful death. ”
