Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sparrows

I originally wanted two chapters, but it's at this point in time, the temperature is still so low, and my hands are stiff, I'm guilty!!

Why did I work so hard, and suddenly realized that I didn't know how long it had been since I had watched anime.

--------------

The final leader of the reconnaissance team was finalized as Xiangkong, which was unexpected, but it was expected, although Heatscliff mentioned it in the form of a proposal at that time, Xiangkong did not dare to hesitate and immediately responded.

This is not a position to please Lu, in the layer where the transfer crystal has not yet been popularized, the task of the reconnaissance team is actually very dangerous, so there are not many people who want to join the reconnaissance team, but as long as Heathcliff is there, Xiangkong is not worried about the lack of people in the team. After all, that man had the means to invite the right people, and that was the main members of the strategy group, almost all of whom he had invited, including himself.

Nearly half a year has passed since he entered Aingrant, and during this time, countless subtle changes have been layered in this world, until today, the reality that is established for the future has been advanced several steps forward.

This is true of the creation of the Knights' League, as well as the early formation of the Scouting Team.

The progress of the strategy is like holding the reins of a wild horse, straight and tight, and the day of the reins is estimated to be not far away, and by then, the storm stirred up by the butterfly should also show its power, but Xiangkong just doesn't want to think about this problem, and what he thinks in his heart is to do his best to let the player who should have died survive.

Taking up the post of head of the reconnaissance team also drove him away.

Three days later, in front of the Black Iron Palace in the Beginning Town, in the light of the teleportation array in the center of the huge square, a figure slowly appeared.

Xiangkong slowly walked out of the light, stood under the steps, looked up at the people coming and going in the square, his eyebrows couldn't help but reveal emotion, and he stared quietly for a moment before retracting his gaze and walking towards one of the main roads.

After the logistics department of the Blood Alliance began to operate normally, the members of the Raiders team had a lot of freely allocated time, so they no longer needed to search the maze for the room where the boss was located.

Although Xiangkong has become the leader of the new reconnaissance team, he also has a lot of free time, to put it bluntly, the task of the reconnaissance team can only start after the boss room is discovered, and the rest of the time, there is nothing to do except keep upgrading to make his character's data stronger and stronger.

Besides, he doesn't have to worry about the selection of the scout team personnel at all...

It's not a whim to come to the Town of Origin today, but it's because of the email from Yuxi that I'll return to the Town of Origin after a long absence.

Walking alone on the street, there will always be empty-eyed NPCs walking by from time to time, and the things in my memory don't seem to have changed at all, so I think about it, it's not been half a year since I came to this world.

Walking slowly, Xiangkong looked ahead, and among the people he saw, there were more NPCs, and the current army guild had not yet encountered the tragic boss battle on the twenty-fifth floor, so the focus was not yet on the first layer of the starting town, and the players who gave up waiting for the rescue idea took up their weapons, so there were not many players on the first floor.

Looking at the place where he stayed a few months ago, Xiang Kong's heart gave birth to inexplicable emotion, just a few months, he felt as if a long, long time had passed, and then looked at those things that clearly appeared in his memory, he couldn't help but have the illusion of a long time away.

If you want to stay here for two more years, I am afraid that under the calculation of the system, there will be no changes.

Today's sun is warm and soft, scattered in the entire starting town, Xiangkong squinted slightly, facing the sun, only the cheeks were warm, so uncomfortable, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: In addition to us, there is only this weather that has been changing.

Feeling the happiness brought by the good weather, Xiangkong slowed down, the content of the email sent by Yuxi was not urged, and he was not in a hurry, anyway, he was free now, and it was not bad for that time.

Passing by a shop selling food, Shoku stopped, first glanced at the familiar shop, then turned his head to look at the chair not far in front of the store, and the street lamp standing next to it, and smiled softly.

I still clearly remember that on the second day of the game, I bought cheap but unaffordable brown bread at this store, and now that I think about it, I feel a little nostalgic.

There was still a lot of food in the inventory, Xiangkong stopped for a moment, thought about it, and walked into the store, the store was very deserted, and not a single player could see it, he walked to the two glass cabinets, glanced at the glass cabinets with expensive food, and then looked away and looked at the black bread in the other glass case.

"Does anyone still need you, brown bread..."

Xiangkong smiled, stretched out his finger to the void in front of the glass case, and chose to buy a unit of black bread in the pop-up menu, and then materialized the black bread in his hand, lowered his head and took a bite, chewing slowly, the dry, astringent and slightly bitter taste suddenly filled the entire mouth, and Xiangkong, who was used to eating food, did not have any discomfort at all.

"The most unforgettable thing is bitterness...", taking another bite of black bread, Xiangkong muttered to himself, somehow, he thought of the person who had brought him to this point.

"Your family must be sad, Rivervalley..."

Silently nibbling on the black bread, the bitter taste in his mouth seemed to fade, and Xiangkong stood in the empty shop, slowly swallowing the black bread into his stomach.

After a moment of silence after eating, Xiangkong suddenly smiled to himself: "Actually, the taste is not so bad, since no one needs you now, why don't I learn how to adapt to you." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed on the purchase menu, selected the purchase unit of ninety-nine black loaves, and then turned around and walked towards the door, only a few steps later, a player walked in outside the door, Xiangkong looked at the player's face, and stopped suddenly.

"Sparrow—" whispered the player's name, and Shoku stood there and looked at him silently.

The sparrow lowered his eyes, and the only slit could be seen that the eyes were dull, without any charm, like the walking dead, he didn't seem to see the sky, shuffling his steps, slowly walking towards the counter where the black bread was sold, his movements sluggish, as if his limbs were stiff.

Xiangkong watched him walk past him, watched him tap a few times in the void, and after a few seconds, he saw a black loaf of bread appear in his hand in a brief burst of white light.

He picked up the black bread and took a bite of it, his cheeks bulging slightly, chewing very slowly, as if he was distracted from eating, and his steps were slower than before.

Xiangkong looked at the sparrow's appearance, remembering that night, his eyes were so arrogant, and his eyes were full of disdain, but now he has become like this.

Poor people must have something to hate, but looking at such a sparrow, Xiangkong can hardly hate the sparrow's behavior of abandoning his teammates at the beginning, I knew that at the beginning, why bother, if I didn't abandon my teammates at that time, maybe the Sword and Fire Squad wouldn't have died four, and that kind girl wouldn't have become a memory.

"Sparrow."

When the sparrow walked not far away, Xiangkong called him, and the latter did not react at all.

Xiangkong frowned slightly, reached out and pressed it on the sparrow's shoulder, the latter's body shook violently, and Xiangkong called the sparrow again.

Only then did the sparrow realize this, slowly turned his neck, and when he saw that the person holding his shoulder was soaring into the air, his eyes shrank suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be still, and even the black bread that was swallowed in the middle of his throat stopped.

His head seemed to be still functioning, and he pulled out an extremely ugly smile, and said desolately, "Are you here to see my jokes?" Did the tipster tell you I'm here? ”

Xiangkong shook his head slightly, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
