Valhalla Palace (Valhalla) in Area B.

Lin Sheng walked in from the main entrance, passing by the tall statue of Odin, holding a black umbrella, and the light rain was falling on the top.

As evening approached, the atmosphere in Valhalla had become very deserted, and some of the worshippers who could usually be seen more or less had disappeared at this moment.

The weather was not very good today, perhaps because of the rain, so the campus was very empty and quiet, and the students rushed back to their dormitories early.

The evening sun has sunk on the horizon, and in the solemn cemetery are clusters of tombstones. These are the gods who have died through the ages, and they are all buried here after their sacrifices.

Lin Sheng bypassed the magnificent statue of Odin, walked out of Langfang, held a bouquet of flowers from the quaint sacrificial room, and walked straight forward.

Valhalla sits in the middle of the academy, and the pioneers transformed it into an open field because it was a military assembly place long ago. Later, the princes fell into a deep sleep, and Valhalla was used as a meeting place for students or public sacrifices.

In the square, the huge statue of Odin stood majestically, and the withered yellow gungnir spear pointed far ahead. The cemetery is located on the northwest side of the statue of Odin, with the golden Dropnir chalice pointing to its temple.

Walking through Valhalla, Lin Sheng came to the huge marble tablet, and the mournful and monotonous black came into his eyes.

The cemetery arrived.

The rain dripped down the edge of his umbrella, and the old bell tower chirped in the hall.

It's like mourning a departed friend.

Under the umbrella skirt, Lin Sheng gently raised his eyes, and his cold and calm eyes were staring at him through the rain curtain at the moment. The old tombstones are lined up on both sides in an orderly manner, and these dead heroes are as majestic as they were when they were alive even if they are in good sleep.

After a short pause, Lin Sheng stepped through the stone door, walked past the tombstones that had stood on both sides for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped in front of a new row of graves.

"Lola...... Donald...... Scat ...... Arlene ...... "He walked gently past each of the tombstones, calling their names. It's like a friend who hasn't seen him for many years, patiently sweeping away the fallen leaves for them.

"Long time no see." Lin Sheng stood quietly in front of their tombs, and every time he passed by a tombstone, he would put down a branch of flowers. It's just that the flowers in front of each tomb are different, Laura's is a chrysanthemum, Donald's is a carnation, and Scart's is a tulip...... It wasn't until there were three white roses left in the end that Lin Sheng stopped in front of the eighth tombstone.

"Laura, your sister was married some time ago, and the groom is Slyle, whom you personally selected for her, and I attended the wedding day, and as you wished, both of them were very happy...... Scart, your family is well, and this year Mirandy was admitted to the University of Chicago, and she worked harder than usual in your absence...... And Donald, your father has recently been successfully discharged from the hospital, the academy has found a suitable kidney source for him, he is healthy now, and only occasionally clamoring to see you......"

Lin Sheng silently looked at the once familiar names on the tombstone, and his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. They were all former members of Lin Sheng's team, and like Kimura Changli, they all died in a certain mission.

"The flowers are all purchased according to the kind of flowers you like, and as in previous years, I won't stay too long this time." He walked slowly to the eight tombstones, crouched down, and reached out to gently caress their inscriptions.

After a while, he got up from the ground again, stood quietly for a few minutes, and then turned to leave.

"What for!"

"He's Xu Chong, Xu Ya's brother! What should he do if he leaves, Xu Ya? How old is that girl......"

"How nice it would be if it was strong enough, if that's the case......"

"Goodbye...... Commissioner Lin...... Help me take care of her, and Xu Ya......"

In front of the newly built tombstone, Lin Sheng stood silent for a long time, and the scenes of the past appeared in front of him one by one, like a passing cloud. The rain in the sky has gradually become heavier, and the drizzle has turned into a bean-sized raindrop.

"I'm sorry." He said. It took a long time for him to finally shake this sentence out of his heart.

Perhaps the atmosphere of sorrow was rendered, and the continuous rain became rapid in an instant. There was no one in the entire empty cemetery at the moment, and only Lin Sheng was left in the empty black.

In fact, everyone in the academy thought that Lin Sheng was just an expressionless 'dead sullen', not only 'sullen' but also an out-and-out 'madman'. In addition to keeping a cold face every day, he will not hesitate even to kill people.

It's just that what they don't know is that in fact, Lin Sheng just doesn't like to express his emotions, because he is used to it, so he feels that it is not necessary.

When he was a child, he was always at home alone, and only he knew whether he was happy or sad. Whether he says it or not, whether he shows it or not, there is no need because no one cares about his feelings.

"I don't know what you like, so I brought you white roses without permission, I hope you don't mind." Lin Sheng squatted down and gently placed three roses as white as snowflakes in front of the tombstone of Kimura Changli.

The flower language of white roses has the meaning of respect, because Lin Sheng didn't know the flower species that the three of them liked, so he chose three white roses for them without authorization, which means 'respect'.

In fact, Lin Sheng didn't know what to choose at that time, but he happened to see the flower girl in the sacrificial room selling this kind of color to others. Although no one bought it in the end, at least it looked better than the other flowers.

"Are you here to see my brother?"

I don't know how long it took, a childish voice suddenly came from behind Lin Sheng. Like a light swift, it quietly passed in front of it.

Lin Sheng turned around when he heard the sound, and what caught his eyes was a little girl in a white raincoat. The girl's appearance is very immature, her face is small, and she exudes a pure whiteness. She stood quietly behind Lin Sheng, holding a worn-out doll bear in her hand, very young, looking like she was only nine years old.

Lin Sheng didn't answer the girl, just looked at her quietly. He knew the name of the girl in front of him, but he couldn't answer because he knew.

The girl was very understanding and didn't ask much, but took a step and walked straight to the three brand-new tombstones.

"Brother Changli doesn't like roses, because he says that roses are only suitable for girls. My brother and Su Ming also don't like roses, because they both think it's too hypocritical for a boy to like roses. ”

The girl stood on the marble altar used for the sacrifice, stretched out her hand and placed a carnation in front of Kimura Changli's tomb, and then walked to the tombstones of Su Ming and Xu Chong and placed a white tulip.

The girl gently wiped the rain from the tombstone with her hand, trying to make their names clearer. It's just that the rain in the sky keeps falling, and no matter how she wipes it, there will always be a new layer of rain covering it.

The girl broke down a little, and she squatted helplessly on the ground and cried. At this moment, she is like a kitten that has been discarded, squatting alone in the rain and wailing in despair.

She's ...... Saddened. Lin Sheng thought.

The icy rain dripped down the girl's body and finally wet the gray-brown doll bear. She hugged the only bear her brother had given her, and her body kept trembling slightly in the rain.

It's like I'm blocked by something, and it's so congested that my heart is congested.

He wanted to go up and give the girl some comfort, but he really didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to comfort anyone, because no one had ever comforted him. A person like him, whose EQ is so low that it is almost negative, has always been a loner.

"Liar...... Big liars, you big liars! obviously said that he would accompany Xiaoya to the playground, but now no one has returned. Liar, you are all liaring Xiaoya! You are all lying to Xiaoya...... You big liars......"

"Big liar!" The girl squatted on the ground aggrievedly, and the rain fell from her face mixed with tears.

She has no relatives anymore, and since the day of December 25, her only brother has left her. From then on, she could only live alone in this world, only one person.

"Xiao Ya......" Qin Yue followed from behind at some point, stood behind Lin Sheng, and looked at her distressedly.

"Big liar...... Sister Qin Yue, they are all big liars, they are all deceiving Xiaoya, why didn't they come back, why didn't they come back? Why...... Xiao Ya is already very well-behaved, and she has always listened to her brother's words, but why did they leave Xiao Ya behind, Xiao Ya is really sad, Xiao Ya really misses her brother......" Xu Ya choked and turned her head, with tears streaming down her face, and asked Qin Yue heartbroken.

Qin Yue didn't know how to answer her, he just covered his mouth and stepped forward to hug her, holding her hard in his arms.

"I'm sorry." Lin Sheng said softly. He reached out and handed the umbrella to their heads.

"I don't blame you." Qin Yue shook his head, "The strength of the princes is too strong, although they are still in the weak stage, but the advantage of the beast clan is innate, no matter how we fill it, we will never be able to make up for this gap." You've done a good job, at least you've avenged them and rescued us. ”

"......" Lin Sheng was silent.

After a while, Qin Yue got up to leave, and gently hugged Xu Ya in his arms. The little girl was probably tired of crying, and fell asleep on her shoulder with her eyes closed.

"That's right." Qin Yue seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped and said to Lin Sheng, "Suzuko has applied for a visa to return to China, and the academy has agreed, and she will leave Atlantis the day after tomorrow." I heard that she would not come back this time, and she wanted to develop in Japan, so she returned to Kumano with her ashes by the way. ”

Saying that, she sighed again, and said sadly, "The blow to Suzuko is too great, and the two of them have always liked each other secretly." It's been five years, and it's just a confession from the other party, and this should have been done by Chang Li, but you also know that Suzuko's suitor in the academy is like a reinforcement company. Kimura Changli is also inferior, and he didn't dare to say a word after so many years of death, if he could have been more confident and cheeky to confess to Suzuko, I think, that ending would at least be much better than now. Now it's okay, Kimura Changli patted his ass and left directly, and he didn't even say goodbye to Suzuko when he died. Suzuko is also stupid, waiting for him for five years. If it were me, I would have tied him up a long time ago and forced him to comply. ”

"Ugh." Finally she sighed, "Forget it, she's leaving the day after tomorrow, and if you can, I want you to send her off." ”

"Aren't you going?" Lin Sheng asked.

"I won't go, Shen Ji and I have to go to the UK for a mission tomorrow, and the morning car will be too late. You can go talk to her for me, let her take care, and if I have time, I will go to Japan to find her. ”

"yes, I see." Lin Sheng nodded and handed her the umbrella.

Qin Yue took the umbrella, nodded to him, and then hugged Xu Ya and turned around and disappeared into the rain.

I don't know how long it took, the rain gradually stopped, the color in the sky was approaching night, and Lin Sheng faintly heard the bell in the distance.

The bells echoed, and they should have come from a church far away. But when Lin Sheng looked in the direction of the church, he found that it was pitch black.

Not a church.

Where did the bell come from?

Suddenly, he looked around and saw that the entire cemetery had been darkened. Whether it's the sacrificial room with lights on not long ago, or the Valhalla, which is always lit up on weekdays. Everything was pitch black, as if some eaten-up monster had suddenly crawled out of the darkness and opened its monstrous mouth to swallow all the light at once.

"Are you upset?" In a trance, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him, Lin Sheng turned around and saw a boy sitting quietly on the bench.
