The night of Crosswind Harbor seems to have come earlier than elsewhere, and the evening has inadvertently sunk into the sea of clouds, gilding the sky with a burning cloud. Soon, even the last ray of red light faded.

The lights in the harbor were lit up like stars falling into the earth, lit up one by one from far and near, and converged into a mighty river in the darkness, reflected in the depths of Fang Yuan's eyes, pitch black, cold, and with a trace of temperature.

This vast world seems to contain the ultimate answer to all questions in the eyes of the world—but it cannot answer the question in his heart at this moment:

Did you come into this world out of your own volition? Or is it an inevitability among countless accidents?

Has someone manipulated this possibility?

It's the same thing that happened to my parents back then.

Seventeen years of knowledge have been wiped out, and it is difficult for him not to have such thoughts. Is his life in his own hands, or is he being manipulated by an invisible hand in the dark?

Of course, the rational Plover also understands that such a thing as manipulating the trajectory of a person's life is almost impossible to happen at the theoretical level, and the more complex and sophisticated the plan, the more difficult it is to describe its feasibility. But his state of mind at the moment, it's hard not to consider all this from the perspective of conspiracy theories-

It may not be rational, but it meets the needs of emotions.

What is the face behind the ID of Rekehtopa?

Because of the death of the Stargate employee, it is hard to believe that the purpose was benevolent or inadvertent.

The reason is so simple, just as ravens accompany corpses, and death always goes hand in hand with the conspiracy behind it-

Assuming that there was a big net behind this ID, covering him heavily, Fang Yu still found a trace of reason from the layers of fear. It stems from the instinct he has learned over the past few days to find opportunities in the midst of difficult situations, and the way of thinking calmly in times of crisis that Miss Tata has taught him.

The point is, when did this big net come to you?

The possibility of recognizing him from his unintentional remarks above the community is almost non-existent. That's tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, the key is that his uncle's family protects him so well that even he doesn't know the lives of his biological father and mother, let alone how others can confirm it?

Therefore, it seems that he can rule out the suspicion of his own teacher, and his acquaintance with R is full of chance, and the other party never encourages him to come to this world. In his opinion, R's teaching of him is more like throwing pranks and trying to see him give up, but he surprises the other party again and again, and both of them enjoy this feeling.

Of course, when he can't solve the problem for a while, the other party inevitably wants to sneer at him, and even the relationship between the teacher and the student is also what he has asked for again and again.

As for Shana-Shana, Fang Yu had a slight doubt in his heart when he mentioned this ID, and he still couldn't rule out the possibility of these people for the time being. He didn't know what these people were trying to do for him, just as he didn't know what Rekehtopa was about.

If Rekehtopa had deliberately sent him into this world, it was possible that the other party was still spying on him through some unknown means, just as one cannot easily let one's investment go down the drain.

Then Shana's purpose is very suspicious. Of course, another thing Fang Yu has learned in these days is not to jump to conclusions until a fact is confirmed. He can be suspicious, but it is best to be cautious, because prejudice can blind people to the truth.

If you don't mention these people you know in the community, then there is only one way for the other party to find out your identity, in fact, there should be quite a lot of ways to do this, after all, his relationship with his uncle's family, his birth and kinship partners are all on the surface.

If the military can find out about his relationship with his uncle's family more than ten years ago and transfer the file from the local court, then those who are interested should be able to find out through other methods. Although this is by no means something that ordinary people can do, it is also difficult for him to believe that the forces behind the planning of an air crash will be ordinary people.

The Summoner's file has a certain level of secrecy, but the so-called secrecy measures are often relative, and after going through so many things, the most important thing Fang Yu has learned is that you never know whether you are facing a dark believer or not, so most of the secrecy measures are meaningless.

In fact, it is precisely this that is a headache for the military, and the existence of dark believers has broken the preconceived notion that most extreme religions and cults usually maintain their adherents with their radical fundamentalism. This is a matter of course, man is a leisurely and industrious animal, and if he cannot brainwash himself, then the ascetic religious organization will be disorganized and incapacitated.

The more extreme the religion, the more so.

But the dark believers seem to have broken this common sense. Most dark believers are no different from ordinary people when they hide among ordinary people, and they don't even need to perform any religious rituals to complete their self-identification, nor do they need to monitor each other to strengthen their faith.

But when the time comes, when the dark saints need their followers to give to, these dark believers will act efficiently, as if they were loyal and fanatical. But it's not that there aren't traitors among the dark believers, it's just that they're pitifully few relative to their base.

Not to mention that Fang Yu cannot understand such a situation, the military of all countries also feels that they have no way to start, and it is almost difficult to prevent problems before they occur, so they can only establish a set of emergency response mechanisms.

In fact, he had asked Su Changfeng a question a long time ago, what did the dark believers, especially the followers on Earth, have their intentions?

Worship of the true God?

But that doesn't seem to have anything to do with earthlings.

In particular, most dark believers seem to be blind and rational at the same time, which is really incredible.

However, Su Changfeng's answer was concise and to the point: "In fact, there is no other, just desire." ”

"Desire?"

"In the usual religious brainwashing, you need to die to get something, but here, you may be able to get it. This is the biggest difference between whether there is a true God or not, and it is why we find it difficult to get started. ”

"But the true god only exists in Aitalia, doesn't he?" Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"If you think of Attaria as a non-existent, illusory world, or even just a game of life, that's true." Su Changfeng nodded, "But the problem is that the stargate is real relative to the earth. ”

"I don't quite understand." Fang Yu really couldn't understand the difference between this, the star gate is the star gate, the earth is the earth, even if the dark believers can infiltrate the earth through some means, they can only be no different from ordinary people on the earth.

"For example," Su Changfeng said this example, a little ghostly light flashed in his eyes, "Eternal life." ”

"Eternal life?"

Fang Yu froze when he heard this word. The word was not unfamiliar to him, and the Dragon-worshippers always took the trouble to mention it, and what they had been fanatically pursuing, although in Fang Yuan's opinion, it was not worth thinking about becoming a monster and achieving eternal life.

"Of course you can't achieve eternal life on earth, but what about in a world where there is a true God?" Su Changfeng said meaningfully, "If the Dark Saints promise you eternal life, then what is the difference between staying after you stay at the Star Gate and staying on Earth? The fear of death is common to all people, even the better the people, which is one of the reasons why dark believers are so tricky. ”

"But there is no eternity in this world, even if it is God, there is a moment of extinguishment."

"It's up to you to define eternity, but for most people, living for a thousand years is a great temptation." Su Changfeng replied: "Think about it, if you were asked to kill other people, but the advantage was that you could get a longer lifespan, even if you could only stay in Aitalia, would you do it?" ”

Fang Yu thought silently for a moment and shook his head.

"And what about the people around you?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, but was silent for a moment, and still shook his head.

"That's the difference between us and others," Su Changfeng replied, "Most people still have reason in their hearts, and they would rather be a human being than a beast." But even you hesitate for a moment, don't you, and it won't be difficult for you to understand why there are so many followers of the Dark Saints. ”

The bright moonlight had risen over the harbor, and it was the beginning of the month, like a hook hanging above the sea of clouds. The faint silver glow reflected the slowly moving cloud wall in the sky, like several towering giants, silently watching over the land.

The north wind pushes the clouds forward, changing shapes, occasionally rolling up a few dead leaves and falling on the square plover. Recovering from his musings, he raised his hand to sweep them off his coat when a large furry paw reached out from behind and pressed it on his shoulder.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw the big cat man's braid mane and the metal ring with the moonlight reflected on it. The Lion Paladin looked up at the front, not at him, the injured eye narrowed slightly, and the silver eye shone brightly.

"When a boy grows into a man, he begins to learn to pretend to be able to do some things," the big cat man said slowly, "but there is nothing that cannot be crossed, I have learned a lot from my past experiences, and I have given up some perseverance - but this is the only one, which has always been with me." ”

"Big cat, these things you said are called Chicken Soup for the Soul in our place, and there are not many people who still believe in this thing these days."

A loud voice came from the tree, and the Lion Paladin looked up—and when Fang Plover heard the familiar voice, he couldn't help but look in that direction, just in time to see the Paparal sitting on it, holding the trunk of a tree with one hand, shaking a pair of small short legs, and looking at them with dark eyes like beans.

Fang Yu paused for a moment, "Parker, when did you run to that place?" ”

"For a while," replied the Paparal, "or do you think that those leaves were thrown at you just now?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a golden light thrown out of Fang Yuan's hand, which hit the bridge of his nose, and he screamed backwards and planted an upside-down onion from the tree. Fortunately, this is Aitalia, and if you want to put it on Earth, you have to at least make him a high paraplegic or something.

The big cat man stroked his beard and watched the Paparal man get up from the ground with a disgraced face, and couldn't help but smile slightly, the so-called self-inflicted suffering, probably that's what he said.

Fang Yu used Parker as a punching bag, and his mood finally felt better, since he got the news from the military this day, and experienced everything since, although he thought that his willpower was quite tenacious, but he still had some confusion.

He then looked at the big cat man on the side and said, "Mr. Red, thank you." ”

Of course, he understood that the Lion Man Paladin appeared in this place at this time to comfort himself. The Seven Seas Brigade may not know the ins and outs of the whole thing, but they do know about what happened to him and his parents and his uncle's family.

"No thanks, in fact, there should be someone else to accompany you at this time, but your ship's officer's lady may not be able to leave for the time being," Red replied with a smile: "You don't dislike me as a substitute, of course, I also understand that it is more suitable to be accompanied by a beautiful woman than a big man." ”

"Not necessarily," the Paparal man patted the ash on his ass and muttered there, "what's so good about women, troublesome and verbose. ”

"And what about your Miss Affa?" The big cat man asked rhetorically.

The Paparal man immediately jumped up as if he had been stabbed in the foot, and said something that made people laugh about Miss Afifa being Miss Afifa, and how could she compare with other women.

Fang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to this living treasure, and glanced back at the direction of the manor - it was the residence arranged for them by the military, and it used to be about a nobleman's winery, but after Hengfeng Harbor was assigned to the military, the surrounding area was bought by the military.

The manor was brightly lit, and you could faintly see two little people, Tianlan and Ai Xiaoxiao, chasing around inside, and the laughter came from afar, like a warm tone in this cold night.

The New Year in Eitania is approaching, and the locals have their own way of celebrating them – such as winter festivals, holly trees and local delicacies, but for the countrymen, the best thing is dumplings. The unique cuisine that comes from the earth can be perfectly presented in this other world.

Ms. Zhang Rou, of course, will take her future daughter-in-law with her, and this may be their last reunion in Aitalia, which is the definition of "home" in China, and after that, she and her uncle will return to Earth.

The next time we see each other, I don't know when it will be.

This situation reminded Fang Yu of spending the New Year at his uncle's house when he was very young. At least the faint aroma wafting through the air, the smell of home contained in it, is exactly the same.

The big cat man gently lifted his paw on his shoulder and patted him: "Actually, it's not just me and Parker who plan to come over to see you, everyone is worried about you." ”

"I understand," Fang Yu shook his head, "I'm fine, Mr. Red, it's just a little confused for a while. ”

"I know what you mean," Red replied, "and it's not surprising that anyone gets lost sometimes. But I mean, besides us, there's actually another lady here who has something to say to you, but she's a little shy and a little embarrassed. ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but turn around.

In the direction the big cat man looked, there was only pitch black, and it was approaching winter, and everything was silent.

Fang Yu looked at the Lion Paladin with some confusion, and Red smiled, gesturing with his eyes that he was waiting. So the three of them looked at it like this, and after a long time, the bushes there began to tremble, and a figure came out of the darkness with some twisting, and gradually revealed the familiar face of the square plover.

"Mr. Red." Tang Xin looked at the big cat man a little embarrassed, biting her silver teeth. Ever since she heard about it from her parents, she hadn't thought about what she was going to do with her cousin - she quietly followed them over because she couldn't make up her mind.

The impact on Fang Yuan's heart, how could she not be like this, the brother she had been familiar with for ten years suddenly became a 'stranger'. She was both uneasy and confused, afraid that the familiar person would never be out of her sight—the only blood connection between the two had been lost.

That feeling, it's like a piece of empty heart all of a sudden, and the brother who has been taking care of him in his memory is going to leave him? But what Tang Xin herself couldn't understand was that there seemed to be another emotion hidden in her heart that even she couldn't explain, it seemed to be uneasy, but there seemed to be a trace of joy that lingered.

She looked at the Fang Yu in front of her hard, her face was slightly stained with a red glow, she took a breath lightly, and after a long time, she shouted in a low voice:

"Brother......

Fang Yu was stunned, but looking at the shy expression on his cousin's face, he couldn't help but be a little funny, he had never seen sugar candy like this:

"Sugar Candy."

He paused for a moment, changed his tone, and said, "Don't worry, I'm still here." Don't worry too much about what my uncle and aunt said, you're still my only sister, and that will never change. ”

Tang Xin glanced at him a little complicated, was silent for a while, and suddenly didn't know where the courage came from, and said, "Brother, I plan to stay." ”

"What did you say?"

"I said," Tang Xin bit her lip and said firmly, "I have already thought about it, I plan to stay in Aitaria and have an adventure with you." ”

Fang Yu looked at each other a little stunned.
