Chapter 25: Infinite Possibilities
The somewhat tattered robe, covered with dust and sticky blood stains, was ragged on Liuyun's body, fluttering steps, light swelling and abrasions on his face, accompanied by blood stains that came out of nowhere, and his hands and feet were full of sticky and somewhat dry and hard blood clots.
Chu Nanhe drove Liuyun, who was stumbling on foot, and couldn't bear to ask how the evaluation was.
Holding the limping and silent Liuyun, the bleak autumn wind blew in his face, blowing Chu Nanhe's eyes a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao He, ......"
Liuyun's somewhat swollen face twitched slightly, and he spat out a few words vaguely.
"I'm here, Brother Liuyun. ”
Chu Nanhe hurriedly responded.
"You don't even ask me...... Didn't I pass the test? ”
Liuyun wanted to grin the corners of his mouth, but pulled a scrape on his face. Hissing and gasping.
Chu Nanhe heard Liuyun's somewhat hoarse voice, obviously thinking that Liuyun might not have been stimulated by the assessment, and just wanted to comfort and comfort him, but suddenly forgot the comforting words he had prepared before.
I had to search for the comforting words that I had been with Liuyun from my brain at high speed, and I casually followed Liuyun.
"That'...... Have you passed the assessment?"
Chu Nanhe thought about it and asked with sourness.
"Of course it passed. ”
Liuyun turned his head slightly, and grinned at Chu Nanhe with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Hmm...... Actually, it's okay, how many people have failed to pass the green section test several times......"
Chu Nanhe nodded in response and comforted softly.
In the middle of speaking, his face suddenly changed.
"What did you say?!"
"You...... You passed?"
......
In the open courtyard in gray and white tones, a young man in a gray and white robe, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, respectfully handed a piece of hard white paper and a pen to a man who stood in the bleak autumn wind and looked like a falcon.
"Mr. He, this is the boy's assessment application just now. ”
The man turned his head slightly, and on his grim face, a scar that ran through half of his face looked slightly creepy in the somewhat dim sunset.
The man looked down at Liuyun's assessment application, and a ripple flashed in his silent eyes.
"Linlan Pavilion ......"
The man, as before, walked out of the single-toned compound without saying a word after reading the evaluation application.
After He Ruidong left, several men in uniform carrying buckets and rags walked out of the room where Liuyun was conducting the green section assessment just now.
"Tsk...... This is really a kid whose brain can't turn around. Like the smarter kids in the past, they gave up a long time after being tortured by that guy a few times. ”
"Alas, it's also pitiful. Look at the blood on the ground. How badly beaten. ”
"I think we'll have to repair this door this time. ”
As the crowd dispersed, no one noticed the hard white paper on the limestone table, the late autumn wind blowing softly, and the pen on top of the paper was blown around a few times by the breeze.
Just as the pen was about to be blown off the table by the wind and immediately fall to the ground.
A broad, somewhat white hand gently picked up the pen and paper.
“...... Huh?"
Pale brown eyes glanced underneath the paper, and let out a startled voice.
I saw that at the end of the paper, at the place of 'Green Section Assessment Certified Assessment Inspector', it was very sloppy, but each stroke was full of energy, and the three big characters crashed into the pale brown eyes of the young man who was holding the hard paper in a daze.
"He Ruidong"
Three big words, the first time they appeared on the man's assessment application after the assessment.
"Tut-tut......"
After the surprise, the man carefully put away the hard paper and sighed.
"Kids now...... What a ......."
"The possibilities are endless......"
In the light brown eyes, there was a flash of inexplicable emotion.
......
How Liuyun went back Liuyun can't remember clearly.
I just vaguely remember that before my consciousness disappeared, I was lying on Chu Nanhe's lean back.
Liuyun slowly opened his eyes.
What caught my eye was the damp and moldy pale yellow ceiling with patches of paint falling off it.
Looking at the increasingly clear scene in front of him, Liuyun only felt that his eyes were astringent.
I couldn't make a sound in my throat as if it was blocked by something.
The small sofa full of holes under him made a "creaking" sound as Liuyun got up.
Really...... Is it a dream?
It was as if someone had dug a hole in his heart, and the wind kept exposing from the hole, making him chill.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the TV. There is a sitcom on TV, and the family is happily cutting cakes together.
In the next second, it was replaced by a sales guy who was selling a big gold watch, shouting at the top of his voice as long as 999.
TV...... How is it on?
Liuyun turned his head and saw that the dilapidated TV set was constantly changing the channel, the room was a little dark, and the light from the TV set shook Liuyun's eyes for a while.
"Huh. ”
A chuckle came softly from behind the clouds.
Liuyun looked back.
The boy in a green robe snuggled up in the shabby sofa, and without saying a word, Liuyun didn't even notice the presence of a person on the sofa.
The boy had big peach blossom eyes on his fair face and a tear mole at the corner of his eye. The little hand held the somewhat worn remote control, and adjusted the table with a blank face.
“...... Chu Nam-hyuk?"
The moment Liuyun saw the boy, the brain that originally felt a little clear was like a sudden burst of someone holding the mac10 at close range to the back of the head.
Liuyun stared at the boy.
"You're not Chu Nanhe. ”
The moment Liuyun saw the person clearly, his somewhat dazed and flustered brain gradually regained its calm.
It was the boy who appeared in the hole in the water ridge stream that was exactly the same as Chu Nanhe. Or rather, the strange creature dressed as Chu Nanhe.
"Oh. ”
The boy answered, continuing to hold the remote control and adjust the channel.
It seems that he doesn't care about what Liuyun says.
It turned out to be a dream.
Liuyun looked at the old-fashioned TV that was very familiar to him, and thought silently.
"Smack"
The boy pressed the power off button slightly, and for a moment, the noisy program on the TV was reduced to a calm black.
"Your original world was boring. ”
The boy tossed the remote back onto the dirty rug and sniffled.
“...... Who are you?"
Liuyun stared at the familiar face and asked softly.
The boy lifted his feet lightly and slowly walked from the couch to the window. The small body leaned against the dusty window frame and slowly spoke.
"I'm nobody. ”
There was a hint of husky coldness in it.
The inky bottomless eyes didn't seem to have a ripple, quietly looking at the tall buildings in the distance.
