No.62 The burden to bear
It was past ten o'clock, and the cold wind blew from an oblique angle, dispelling the dark clouds on the horizon and letting the dim sun shine into the monotonous training ground.
The frost on the weeds on the roadside melted, and the night fog was dispelled, but the autumn wind was still biting, making it difficult to figure out whether it was winter or autumn.
Maybe it's the Arctic incident that Megumi Kuruma said, this year's autumn is colder than any year, even if he is wearing an old GUTS uniform, Ye Yifan can't help but shiver. He had just gone to the infirmary to prescribe some psychotropic drugs, and was now ready to go to the dormitory to pack his luggage, and then take a special car back to Shimmer City for vacation.
Originally, he planned to go back after attending the martyrs' memorial service tomorrow, but the doctor told him that his current mental state was no longer allowed to touch the dark and heavy scenes, so he could only go back today. It's also good that his current San value recovers sooner.
The restlessness and darkness of the low SAN value were affecting Ye Yifan's spirit every moment, but at the same time, they were all suppressed by another feeling. That was Jie Yu's encouragement and the hope of the soldiers of the third class. Darkness and light, hope and despair have always been restless in Ye Yifan's heart, and there are two different whispers in his ears.
"This is just the beginning, the truth will never fade, and one day you will get a glimpse of yourself and fall into madness."
"You're not alone, and hope has always been there. End it all, you are the light. ”
It's time to rest.......
Ye Yifan sighed, he changed the old GUTS uniform on his body, put on a black velvet hooded sweatshirt, and wrapped a green scarf around his neck...... The scarf was given to him by Mu Yanxue, and I don't know what this girl's heart is.
After putting on civilian clothes, Ye Yifan sorted out the rest of his things and went out. Before leaving, he had to say goodbye to his best friend and take a look at Du Fei by the way.
I stayed in the dormitory for three months, and now I officially say goodbye. Although he will come back in fifteen days, Ye Yifan has some feelings. He picked up his suitcase, and when he was about to go downstairs, he happened to run into Han Qixuan and Gaoqi Fengyun.
They ask themselves about their situation, such as whether Megumi is making things difficult for him or something. Ye Yifan also answered their questions truthfully, saying that he was in a bad mental state and was now ordered to go back on vacation.....
Han Qixuan nodded after listening: "It's time to rest, after all, you have paid too much this time......
"This time you're going to let go. When you come back, remember to bring me a puff pastry cake from our school gate, I've been thinking about it for a long time. The sky above has returned to its former formality, but the gloom on her face can still be seen.
"Certainly, certainly......"
Ye Yifan held back a smile, he first hugged the high-altitude Fengyun before parting, and then went to hug his best friend Han Qixuan.
"It hurts, it hurts! You're holding it so tight! ”
This incomprehensible guy, Ye Yifan immediately punched him in the shoulder with dissatisfaction, and this guy let out a scream like killing a pig......
This is the tranquility before the storm, after joking, Ye Yifan said to the two of them solemnly: "Training, you have to work hard....... With Jie Yu's share. ”
"It's necessary......" The expressions of the two of them also became uncomfortable. If Jie Yu was still there, he would definitely be able to join the special department with them, but it backfired.
Therefore, it is now necessary to uphold the wishes of the dead and work hard so that the darkness can disappear from this world and the laughter can fill this world again......
After talking, Ye Yifan left the dormitory building with his suitcase, and when he just passed by the tarmac, he saw the instructor Du Fei coming towards him in a wheelchair, with liquid hanging next to him.
"Phineas." Ye Yifan said hello to Du Fei, and Du Fei also waved his hand and said, "Holiday?" It's time for you to get some rest. ”
"Thank you for your guidance these days, and thank you for believing in me." Ye Yifan bowed to Du Fei. He is really grateful to this brother, and he is also glad that he did not die, and that he can still teach and enlighten him later......
"Don't say so much, I understand. I'm glad you can be on your own and have a good time on your vacation! Remember to bring me more spicy potato chips when you come back, or I'll knock you out! Du Fei sat in a wheelchair and laughed. Even if he walked through the ghost gate, he didn't leave any haze.
Hearing these words, Ye Yifan also smiled and said, "You can't eliminate me now...... I'm in the special department! ”
"Stinky boy, hurry up! I'm like this, you don't know how to deal with me. ”
"Haha, let's talk about it again."
After saying that, Ye Yifan dragged his luggage and got on the special car back to the city, he didn't notice that Du Fei's eyes were flashing with tears, and he looked relieved and warm.
After getting in the car, I greeted the driver, and the special car started to drive out of the base and headed for the downtown area of Shimmer City.
Ye Yifan is already a member of TPC, so this time the vehicle doesn't want to see the outside of the modified car before he comes. He can now see the landscape of Luoguang Mountain and the natural scenery in the car.
In addition to his own luggage, Megumi also sent him an ID card for TPC, as well as a PDI and a Haipa gun. Although the alien incident has come to an end, who can guarantee that the dark forces will not trouble Ye Yifan? In addition to protecting himself, he also needs to contact Megumi on a regular basis.
The weather isn't too good today, but it's okay. After sitting for half an hour, Ye Yifan's mood also relaxed, but after experiencing a section of the road, he could see through the car window that there were some cracks on that section of the road, and the guardrail next to it was broken in half, and there were still some blood stains on it, which looked so shocking in the sunlight.
This was an accident that happened last night when the students were evacuated, and TPC has not yet had time to deal with it. Through Megumi Juma's words, Ye Yifan knew that the car carrying the trainees flew down from here, and then had an accident.
The ghouls say that the students have intruded into their territory to summon the Old Dominators, so surely that is the influence of the whisper? What a bastard, it was he who provoked the relationship between the two, which led to the accident......
At this time, Ye Yifan's head hurt again, and the impact of the low San value made him only remember the events of that night, and his spirit would collapse. So Ye Yifan didn't think about that, but quietly waited for the car to arrive at its destination.
The mountains are steep, the insects hiss, and the engine of the car rises and falls. Ye Yifan was a little sleepy, the car was no longer so bumpy after driving for an hour, and he had already seen the high-rise buildings entrenched in Shimmer City.
Passers-by appeared one after another around, and there were some stalls. Ye Yifan plugged in the headphones and started playing music, the car drove for a while, and the familiar street scene came into Ye Yifan's eyes again, he had arrived in the downtown area of Shimmer City.
It is the rush hour after school, and I can see many students waiting for the bus, walking, and eating on the streets. When the car drove to the gate of Shimmer University of Science and Technology, Ye Yifan pouted and said, "Let's get here, I'll get off here." ”
The TPC staff member who was the driver answered, and then stopped the car at the gate of the science and technology department. Ye Yifan got out of the car, and the TPC staff who followed him also helped him carry his luggage, which was seen by the students of HKUST.
It's HKUST's lunch break, so many students have to come out to eat and relax. They all looked at Ye Yifan in amazement.
A lot of people have heard that he was selected for TPC, and it doesn't look like he's been eliminated yet. After all, how could there be a special car to send him back if he was eliminated? And help him carry his luggage? And they still have the silver medal of TPC on their chests, which is obviously a success and a return to their hometown.
For a while, many students came over and asked about Ye Yifan's situation. I haven't seen him for three months, his physique has become stronger, and he has become more handsome, and everyone wants to slap him, so that he can brag and get a piece of the pie or something.
If you don't rush anything else, you will rush so much silver. That's only available to people who have a very high position in TPC or who have made great contributions, and with her, TPC's stores are free, and other stores can also receive the highest preferential treatment!
Ye Yifan also knows this, after all, a dangerous position must require the highest material comfort, and he can relax with this. But I finally know why everyone wants to enter GUTS, because GUTS has a silver medal, and the former GUTS is really comfortable, but it's a pity that the group is wiped out......?
Simply dealing with that group of students, lamenting that they can only see the bright side of others, and they don't know what kind of despair and pain they have to pay behind this person's success......
Ye Yifan took his luggage to talk to the group of students, but his eyes kept looking at the door.
He's waiting for someone......
Not long after, Ye Yifan saw a girl with long hair in a purple waterfall, holding a book and talking and laughing with the girl next to her, and the autumn wind was blowing her hair.
Ye Yifan was stunned. There was also a turbulence in his heart, and a smile inevitably appeared on the corner of his mouth. She looked at the girl, the girl was like a white lotus in autumn, exuding a unique temperament and fragrance, she was different from the group of students.
Suddenly, the girl's eyes converged on Ye Yifan, who was included in the students, her footsteps stopped, and the book in her hand also fell to the ground with a "snap".
Ye Yifan noticed that something was wrong with her. Normally, even if she reunites after a long absence, she will smile and pounce excitedly.
But now, what is her gaze? A bitterness, helplessness and grief? Why, she cried......
Seeing this, Ye Yifan pushed away the surrounding students and came to her with a suitcase. With a hearty smile, he touched her head and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying?" I'm back now that I'm famous. ”
"Who are you fooling? Why is it that your face is so haggard even after only three months? So gloomy? What exactly did you go through at TPC to get to this point? ”
Listening to the girl's crying words, Ye Yifan was stunned. Others can only see his glamorous side, only her...... Only she saw her despair and pain, and even shed tears over it......
At this moment, Ye Yifan couldn't help it. After meeting the person I wanted to see the most, the helplessness and bitterness in my heart were all revealed. The darkness, the despair, and the sight of a brutal death made him tear the tears of the girl and say, "It's all right, it's all over, it's all over...... I am back. ”
After saying this, Ye Yifan wiped his tears, pointed to the silver medal on his chest and said, "Do you see this?" Now the whole Shimmer City is free for us to play! So free in the afternoon? Take you to the Shimmer amusement park and eat Michelin at night. ”
The girl didn't speak, just nodded. Ye Yifan showed danger, he took her hand and left the gate of the University of Science and Technology in full view of everyone......
Shimmer City is one of the big cities in China, and the amusement facilities are also first-class in the country and even the world. Even the most troubled people will be happy after a lap here, and this is a real paradise.
But again, the best recreational facilities, the consumption is also top-notch. It's just that for Ye Yifan, who got the silver medal, this is not a problem, they can play that if they want to, and they don't have to pay any money.
"Have you thought about it? Play that? Ye Yifan looked at Mu Yanxue, her mood stabilized along the way, and now she has finally regained her former self-confidence and vitality.
Mu Yanxue came with the purpose of letting Ye Yifan forget his troubles and forget the darkness, so she wanted to choose an exciting project, so she pointed to the roller coaster that was taller than Diga and said, "Go and ride that, I haven't sat yet." ”
Ye Yifan glanced at the roller coaster lightly, originally said that he wanted to change the project, but he couldn't bear to hit Mu Yanxue's emotions, so he went to the front desk and asked for two tickets. Mu Yanxue said to sit in the front row, because it was the most exciting there.
The two got on the roller coaster, and when it was full, the car started. Sitting in the first row had the greatest visual impact, especially when she saw the roller coaster rising, Mu Yanxue was a little scared, Ye Yifan stared at her and smirked, which was nothing to him.
After all, during training, in order to resist weightlessness and fear of heights, Du Fei let them ride a roller coaster for a month. It was specifically for training, and I don't know how much higher it was than the level of this kind of amusement. Ye Yifan is tired of sitting on this thing, even if he falls sharply, his eyelids will not blink, after all, he has even driven a plane.
When the roller coaster fell, some people in the back let out almost pig-killing screams. Ye Yifan only felt like laughing, but he didn't hear Mu Yanxue's voice.
When she turned her head, she saw that the girl's eyes were closed, clutching at the guardrail like a koala, and she didn't make any sound. The delicate face was twisted, and the purple hair slapped on her face like seaweed, which looked particularly miserable.
Mu Yanxue didn't know how to hold back for a few minutes, and as soon as she got off the roller coaster, her legs were so weak that she almost fell to the ground. My mind kept buzzing, and I was obviously frightened.
Seeing a beautiful girl so miserable, Ye Yifan couldn't help laughing. Although the roller coaster was of little use to his mental recovery, Mu Yanxue made him feel a lot more relaxed.
What do you mean by that? Your own happiness is always based on the pain of others.
Seeing Ye Yifan smile, Mu Yanxue was also a lot happier in her heart, her sacrifice was not in vain.
But why is this man smiling so happily? This made Mu Yanxue a little unhappy, she wanted to get some face back. Since the roller coaster can't scare him, then ......
"How about we go to the horror house?" Mu Yanxue pointed in the direction of the horror house, her expression was very firm. Ye Yifan said with some concern, "Why do you like exciting things so much?" That thing can't scare me, I'm afraid you'll faint inside. ”
"I don't care, I'm going!" At this time, Mu Yanxue showed the arrogance of a little girl again. She is also secretly happy in her heart, she wants Ye Yifan to get in touch with exciting things and forget her troubles, and the horror house is undoubtedly the best choice.
To be honest, Ye Yifan didn't want to go to the horror house when he saw it. His mental state is still unstable, and entering the horror house will inevitably be a little shocking. But seeing that Mu Yanxue was so enthusiastic, he didn't want to refuse, after all, he also knew that Mu Yanxue was thinking about him.
Ghouls have experienced all the horrors, and are you still afraid of fake horror? Ye Yifan mustered up the courage to ask for two tickets, and it is estimated that he can accept the impact.
After entering the horror house, a wave of darkness enveloped the two of them. Blood-colored light shot out of nowhere, and there was eerie music in my ears.
fake, even if he knew it was fake, Ye Yifan still couldn't help but tremble. He was not frightened by the atmosphere of the horror house, but by the fear and darkness in the depths of the Luoguang Mountain.
Props stained with red and blood, and fake corpses, the artificial smell permeated Ye Yifan's nasal cavity. Ye Yifan felt a panic and weirdness, he saw the dummy head in front of him and remembered the tragic situation of Lu Jieyu's death, and everything in front of him seemed to have turned into a dream. The bones twisted in front of my eyes, and a strange aura permeated.
The soldiers of the third squad are all dead, and so is Jie Yu...... The SAN value is too low, even if he knows that it is fake, Ye Yifan still can't bear it. His spirit wavered, as if nails were tearing at his meninges.
"Ah...... Yes! ”
Ye Yifan let out a scream of weird fear, and he squatted on the ground trembling uneasily. The tragedy of death loomed before my eyes......
"Xiaofan, what's wrong with you?" Mu Yanxue felt that something was wrong, they had just entered the door, and even if they were afraid, they would not behave so violently.
There must be something wrong, Mu Yanxue hurriedly helped Ye Yifan out of the horror house. The tourists in line all ridiculed when they saw this scene, and they were still TPC people, but they were scared in front of their girlfriends, which was too embarrassing.
Ye Yifan sat on the chair and rested for a while before recovering. He has overestimated his spirit, and his San value is 36, and he can feel fear in the face of killing pigs, let alone entering the house of terror.
At this time, Mu Yanxue was already crying. She originally wanted Ye Yifan to relax, but it led to this result. A strong Chongye Yifan apologized, and at the same time asked him what he had experienced at TPC.
Those things couldn't be said originally, but thinking that Mu Yanxue was so worried, and she wouldn't talk nonsense, Ye Yifan told her. His own camp was attacked and witnessed brutal deaths. He was awarded the Silver Medal by solving this matter, but his spirit was also damaged, and this time he was ordered to return from vacation to regain his spirit.
"I'm sorry Xiaofan, I originally wanted you to forget about your troubles, I don't know about those.... I ......" Tears overflowed from the corners of Mu Yanxue's eyes. She did something bad with good intentions, which really made her feel guilty.
But she finally knew what kind of darkness and despair Ye Yifan had experienced......
"It's okay, I know you're doing it for my good...... If you want to blame it, blame my mental state. ”
This incident made Ye Yifan clearly realize that his San value was really low...... He can't bear it anymore, even if he faces the killing of pigs, he will be afraid, how can he complete the incident of entering the special department?
The hope entrusted by the squad leader Chi and the agreement between Jie Yu, what should he do?
In this way, the two of them are not in the mood to continue playing, they plan to go for a walk, and by the way, think about a solution to the problem......
