In the light of the fire, the white tower collapsed.

A group of soldiers armed with guns and wearing blast suits opened fire indiscriminately at the unarmed crowd below the tower......

The sound of gunshots, the collapse of buildings, the screams, and the roar of wild beasts from nowhere, make for a symphony of absurdity.

A little boy about six or seven years old hid behind a big rock in the distance, and witnessed the bloody scene of his parents and relatives being slaughtered one by one.

His young body trembled uncontrollably slightly, not knowing if it was anger or fear.

Beside him, there was a little girl about his age.

The little girl looked weak and kept sobbing quietly.

The little boy did not cry, his eyes were fixed on the pale middle-aged man outside the fire, as if he wanted to keep his hateful face in his heart forever.

The middle-aged man has deep eye sockets, a straight nose, and a typically decent face.

At this time, he was indifferently looking at the people struggling for help in the sea of fire, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying an interesting animal show.

Middle-aged people's hair is pure white, but it is clearly not the kind that has been formed by aging, and it looks very special.

He wears a cloak-like black coat with a strange and unfamiliar logo on the back of the coat.

It was a stick figure tree with branches.

Whether it is the trunk or branches of the tree, the lines are straight and stiff.

There are no leaves or fruits on it, and it looks more like a fake tree made of some hard material......

I don't know how long it took, the sound of collapse, screams, and roars slowly disappeared, and the sea of fire turned into a charred ruin.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to leave.

The little girl's voice gradually became hoarse, and her body curled up weakly.

The little boy stood up, patted the little girl on the back, and comforted:

"Stop crying, sister. Let's go find something to eat. ”

"Mom and Dad, they won't die in vain."

"Someday, I'm going to kill these people."

"I promise you."

……

"Bai Lin! You stand for me! ”

Bai Lin woke up suddenly, subconsciously wiped the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly stood up.

Looking around, the classmates in the class all looked at him with a smile.

The roar of the male history teacher on the podium sounded again:

"When is this, still sleeping!"

"Forget about sleeping, what kind of dreams do you say!"

"Don't kill anyone, you're going to kill me first!"

When the teacher said this, the students in the class couldn't help but laugh anymore.

Bai Lin scratched his head in embarrassment, and quickly opened the history textbook as if flattering.

He didn't sleep well last night, and he wanted to take advantage of the end of class to rest for a while, but he didn't expect to sleep until now.

The history teacher saw his movements, and the angry expression on his face softened a little:

"It's time to ask a question, you answer me a question, if you get it right, sit down!"

Bai Lin immediately nodded.

"What does the sign on the illustration on page 47 of the book represent?" The history teacher asked.

Bai Lin turned the book to page 47 according to the teacher's instructions.

The symbol that had been in his mind countless times came into his eyes.

He couldn't help but froze and unconsciously clenched his fists.

Seeing Bai Lin's reaction, the history teacher shook his head with some disappointment:

"Alas...... You don't know that? That's the easiest question. ”

The classmates around him also looked at him suspiciously, expressing their deep understanding of the teacher's words.

Bai Lin took a deep breath and spit out three words:

"Super Homo sapiens."

When the history teacher heard Bai Lin's answer, Ben's softened expression became serious again:

"Who doesn't know that this is a sign of a super-homo sapiens? I'll let you answer what he stands for! ”

"Do you just answer these three words in a short-answer question?"

"How many times have I told you, this is a required question for the wisdom test!"

……

The history teacher's voice became louder and louder, and the students in the class also realized that the teacher was really angry, so they all put away the smiles on their faces and mourned for Bai Lin in their hearts.

History teachers are always punished severely, especially when angry.

The classmate who made him angry last time was punished for copying the wrong question 200 times, which is enough for tens of thousands of words.

"Teacher, the ...... I'll answer, is that okay? ”

A soft female voice sounded beside him, and Bai Lin saw his tablemate slowly raise his hand.

The history teacher paused for a moment, but nodded anyway:

"Okay, Chen Minhui, you can answer. Just let Bai Lin listen to what the correct answer is. ”

Chen Minhui is a member of the study committee in the class, and her grades have always been in the top few in the class, and she is deeply liked by the teachers.

The head teacher arranged for her to sit with Bai Lin, just so that she could help Bai Lin with his studies.

And she's been doing it all the time.

Bai Lin is an orphan, and the teachers and classmates know this.

So whether it is in life or study, they take care of Bai Lin.

The history teacher was angry with Bai Lin, and there was also an element of hatred for iron and steel......

Chen Minhui stood up and said eloquently:

"This is the sign of the cosmic race of super-sapiens, representing wisdom and eternity."

"Super Homo sapiens believe that trees are the most intelligent beings, and the lifespan of trees is extremely short compared to them, so they use hard lines to depict trees to symbolize eternal wisdom."

"And for the people of Earth, this symbol represents hope and rebirth."

"In the year 2048 A.D., the sun suddenly had an abnormal change and was about to explode, and the earth was facing the fate of destruction."

"Just when the human race on Earth was on the verge of despair, the cosmic race Super Homo sapiens descended. They have used technology to stabilize our universe and created "pseudostars" to replace the sun. ”

"In addition, they have also taught us that human beings have mastered a lot of advanced technology, which has greatly improved the scientific research level and production efficiency of the earth. Since then, the earth has entered a new era, known as the beginning of the eternal era. ”

"Homo sapiens also transmitted to us more advanced ideas, and they integrated all the nations of the time into one "United States". ”

"Before that, there were many countries on our planet, and different countries were hostile to each other, and there was a big gap between different races."

"And now, we're one. Everyone can obtain the status of "cosmic citizen" by participating in the wisdom test and the martial arts test, and then fight for the rights and interests of the whole earth in a wider and unknown place. ”

……

After Chen Minhui finished speaking, the whole class applauded.

The expression on the history teacher's face also changed from anger to appreciation, and he praised:

"Well, that's a good answer. I didn't copy the language in the book, but at the same time added my own understanding. ”

"If I were a grading teacher, I would definitely give you full marks for this question."

His gaze swept to Bai Lin again, and he said earnestly:

"Bai Lin, I want to learn more from you at the same table, you know? Only by studying hard can there be a future. ”

"If you want to mess around, why are you still coming to school? Don't you know how cruel the wisdom test is? ”

"Alright, you both sit down."

After Chen Minhui sat down, he saw Bai Lin standing absentmindedly, and quickly pulled his cuffs hard.

"Hey, you're stupid! The teachers all said to sit down. ”

Bai Lin reacted at this time, hurriedly sat down, and then smiled at her and said "thank you".

"It's okay, it's a little funny!" Chen Minhui replied with a big grin.

The history teacher on the podium was still talking, and Bai Lin's gaze gradually wandered out of the window.

It's late autumn, and a cold wind is blowing, and the yellow leaves of the poplar trees on the campus are withering one by one and piling up on the empty playground.

On the playground, a few children were running around, looking very happy.

The parents of the children chatted on the side.

From time to time, they turned their heads to look at their children, as if they were afraid that they would run too far and not find them.

Naturally, Bai Lin thought of his parents.

In his memory, his parents were kind and gentle people.

He didn't understand why those super-Homo sapiens would brutally kill his parents.

If according to the textbook, super-sapiens are selfless, then what did his parents do wrong?

He distinctly remembered that when the Homo sapiens killed his parents, his dad stood in front of his mom and didn't even fight back, just kneeling and pleading......

Thinking of this, Bai Lin closed his eyes in pain and covered his eyes with both hands.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

In any case, he wants revenge.

Even if it's wrong.

To achieve this goal, he is willing to give everything he has.

Because after that fire, that's all he had to live with.

……

As the sun sets, night envelops Nishizawa Castle.

As the school bell rang, the bustling school fell silent.

Bai Lin casually ate a light meal in the school cafeteria, and walked towards the locker next to the bathhouse.

Opening the wardrobe, the first thing that catches your eye is a wide boxing suit.

The boxing suit is black and white-edged, with a wide brim, which looks very clean, but it doesn't look like brand new.

He took out his boxing suit and slung it casually over his shoulders.

An ugly and tattered mask is thus revealed.

The face of the mask was a porcelain-white skull, with a large piece missing from the left side of the mask's forehead.

Along the edge of the mutilation, there were many small fissures that extended to the left eye hole of the skeleton.

This makes the mask look even more terrifying.

Bai Lin took a deep breath, gently brushed his hand over the mask's cheek, and muttered in a voice that could only be heard by himself:

"Long time no see, my old friend......"

After saying this, Bai Lin carefully put the mask and boxing costume into the backpack behind him.

Then he took out his mobile phone and, as usual, sent a message to the person with the note "Uncle Mu".

"It's at the school gate, come pick me up."

Within a few seconds, the phone rang with a message.

Bai Lin didn't see what the news was.

He slipped his phone into his pocket and walked in the direction of the school gate.

……

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Bai Lin saw Uncle Mu waiting for him.

Uncle Mu is a burly, dog-like middle-aged man.

At this time, he was wearing sunglasses and waving enthusiastically to Bai Lin.

Behind Uncle Mu was a convertible sports car that looked precious.

Bai Lin didn't know what brand it was, and he wasn't very interested in it.

He walked straight to the convertible, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

Uncle Mu smiled bitterly to himself, put away his hand to say hello, and sat in the driver's seat next to Bai Lin after going around.

There were many students at the school gate who looked curiously and secretly towards Bai Lin's side, secretly guessing in their hearts which young master this was.

But before they could think about it, the hum of the engine sounded, and the convertible was gone, bringing up a stir of dead leaves on the road.

……

In the car, Uncle Mu put on a popular rock music, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Bai Lin.

Bai Lin shook his head and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Uncle Mu seemed to be accustomed to Bai Lin's cold attitude, and he didn't care, and put the cigarette directly to his mouth.

"How many coins do you want to earn this time?" Uncle Mu spat out a smoke ring and asked.

The currency is the universal currency of the earth since the beginning of the Eternal Era, controlled and issued by the institutions left on the earth by the super-Homo sapiens.

Bai Lin didn't open his eyes, and said lightly:

"It's still the same. Earn as much as you can. ”

"I'll help you get that thing this time?" Uncle Mu asked.

"Hmm." Bai Lin nodded.

"It's getting more expensive now. I don't know how many milliliters I can change this time. Uncle Mu said.

"It's okay, you just have to change."

After Bai Lin said this, the two fell into a short silence, and after a few minutes, Uncle Mu spoke again:

"Why do you have to change that?"

Bai Lin shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to answer.

The middle-aged man sighed and said:

"We've been working together for so long. I know you're not like the other reckless people, but why are you doing things so ......?"

Uncle Mu didn't continue, he took a deep puff of cigarette and continued:

"Do you know how much money you've made?"

"Every time I help you change it, I really feel sorry for the money, as if I threw it away."

"And, does that thing really work? It's not like you don't know that no one in Nishizawa City has ever been able to pass through the martial ......."

Bai Lin opened his eyes, shook his hand, and interrupted him.

"We are not people of one world. All I have to do is box. You just make your money. ”

"If I really don't need that one day. Then I won't punch again. ”

Uncle Mu nodded, threw away the cigarette butt, and didn't say anything more.

Nothing to say all the way.
