There is no doubt that it will be decided on the battle configuration this time. According to the usual practice, Xiaozhu followed, and Rumei followed behind the two, but Wen Cheng suddenly sat up without saying a word.

Li Rumei.

As if asking her in his heart, Wen Cheng began to look at this new comrade-in-arms.

You can also feel a little that the woman in the same uniform has a strong desire to fight.

He should be ten years older than Xiaozhu, with a slight body curve protruding under the men's shirt, the hem of the trousers slightly bare the ankles, and the two arms folded together on the table, if he didn't look at him expressionlessly, he would be more murderous than Ning Ran. Her black hair is cut short with a few strands of blonde, and her crisp sideways bangs and bright red lips make people look forward to her decisiveness on the battlefield.

For now, her behavior is normal, until she was uncomfortable with Wen Cheng, and then moistened her throat and raised her hand and said,

"Can I smoke?"

Wen Cheng had two choices: either ignore the sentence, as he had since he met her, or pretend not to hear it.

Finally, he went to the cupboard in the corner of the living room, got an ashtray and put it in front of Rumei.

Ning Ran showed a slight dissatisfaction, Xiao Zhu's face showed a trace of fear, obviously these two can't accept second-hand smoke, what can I do.

In fact, Rumei's sentence was actually asked to everyone present, and after getting the answer on everyone's faces, Rumei consciously resisted the urge to take out the pack of red shell cigarettes from her pocket.

This is her new habit, because in the next moment, the feeling of welcoming death emerges. The air that wrapped around her brightened.

"Please let me be the vanguard."

This sentence is a bit of a joke, because there are only three people instead of three thousand soldiers and horses.

The gentle but resolute general posture is like a Shura who is dying in Wen Cheng's eyes.

"Okay." Wen Cheng nodded, "You are with me, Empress Xiaozhu." ”

But this resolute atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by Contemplation.

"Can the team leader get out of the way?"

Retreat?!

Never seriously considered the question.

Ning Ran noticed that Wen Cheng and Rumei lowered their gazes at the same time for a moment.

"Team leader," Ning Ran still looked at him in a gentle tone, "wanting to win and getting victorious are completely different things. ”

Especially compared to you and me.

"I understand," Wen Cheng showed a hint of displeasure, "at least you can't deny the effect of the loop." ”

Ning Ran shook his head with a smile, "Even if it's something that is made for you and your junior, you can't abuse it, after all, every time you restart it, it will cause entropy increase and law source consumption, isn't it, as the deputy leader, I can't forgive the leader who doesn't care for himself so much." ”

It turned out that Ning Ran had been instilling her values in me, at least Wen Cheng, who couldn't hold his face slightly at the moment, thought about it, but he quickly accepted this opinion.

Because her way of speaking is very useful, the words of reproach can be turned into nice flattery by her.

Feeling as if he had been shunned from the topic, Wen Cheng looked at his phone, eight fifty.

"Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter." Ning Ran said a short sentence.

This assistant really saw me through. Wen Cheng smiled very acceptingly and said, "Xiaozhu Belt Rumei is waiting for me downstairs." ”

After the younger sister closed the door with her new subordinate, Ning Ran suddenly grabbed a piece of baked cake and gnawed it.

"Is there anything else I can tell you, senior sister?"

There's no one else here, so tell me if you're dissatisfied with me.

With some displeasure, Wen Cheng smiled and generously pushed the soy milk over.

"I don't want your saliva." Ning Ran cast a disgusted look and took out a new cup from the bag.

"It's a pity that no," Ning Ran said as he ate, "Don't think I'm too mysterious, I'm just spurring myself to keep working hard, that's all." ”

Business blows each other will still be.

"What a strange humility," Wen Cheng flattered her in turn, and was about to retrieve his cup, "I just said in front of Rumei that I didn't want to die." ”

"It's a fact, it's as naïve as you and Liu Zhen agreed, junior."

Call me naïve?!

Wen Cheng's wrist was suddenly grabbed by Ning Ran and pressed to the table.

I was stunned by her sudden move, and I was too late to react to her next move.

While calming down, Ning Ran suddenly hung his head dizzily.

The feeling of vomiting came up at the same time, and she moaned softly, and she propped herself up, barely holding back the vomiting.

"Ning Ran, what's wrong with you?!"

"It's okay......"

It's okay for you to call it, your face is white.

Wen Cheng immediately walked over and patted her on the back, letting her clutch her hand tremble as if she was squeezing out something.

The unpleasant feeling of piercing the chest like the tip of a spear causing the body to arch is the reason for the force.

"Damn, it's ...... at this time"

The warm liquid with the smell of rust, Wen Cheng noticed that this was actually the blood that was spit on the table, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

A fragment flashed through my mind.

Hold her on the roof of the building when she jumped off the floor, her words.

Finally...... It's easy.

Five minutes later, Ning Ran came to his senses and smiled, and then pulled out a dozen sheets of tissue paper and covered the blood stains on the table.

"Ning Ran, what happened to you?"

"That's a gunshot wound from a while ago." Ning Ran pulled Wen Cheng to the side and pointed to his chest, "Don't worry, there's nothing else, it's just labor pains, it's a pity," she breathed a sigh of relief, "If you get injured in the loop, maybe you won't have this problem now." ”

This is the meaning of life itself, even if it is small, but it is realized when it is on the verge of death.

"Senior brother, this kind of pain will appear once every three or five days, but the hospital has checked it, and it's not a big deal, so can you understand what I was talking about just now?" Ning Ran asked softly.

Wen Cheng did not answer directly,

"Yoo Jin...... You know? ”

Ning Ran shook his head.

"I'm sorry to keep you like an assistant."

"What kind of junior are you talking about," Ning Ran smiled, "I will be your assistant in the future, and I am glad to know that you have the courage to do whatever it takes, because this is something I can no longer have." ”

The sudden bright smile is hard to face.

"Does it still hurt?" Wen Cheng asked.

"Don't worry about me, just take a break."

Silence after a sigh.

At this time, no matter what you say, it will not create a relaxed atmosphere.

After half a minute, Wen Cheng was finally able to calm down.

Ning Ran said quietly, "Senior sister is right, she should have forgotten me at that time, just like my innocence at the beginning." ”

He smiled as if he regretted his past.

"Gaze ......"

"Team Leader." Ning Ran suddenly remembered one thing again, "And ...... Think about the organization's mission vision, something that only you can do. ”

The word was a little strange, but Ning Ran still said it.

"Mission vision?"

"It's about elevating your individual beliefs to the will of the group."

If Wen Cheng is for the sake of your beloved, then what is the Shinnogumi for? What are the members of the Shinnogumi fighting for?

In fact, Wen Cheng already has the answer.

"For Liu Zhen...... Unify the global wizarding community. He stared at Ning Ran and whispered his fist as he spoke.

Somehow, this phrase came up, but this is the only way to defeat a powerful enemy than passive protection or a goal limited to one city.

Just brag about it, probably everyone else will think of me like this.

With a hint of hesitation, will Ning Ran laugh shamefully?

"Junior brother, that's why I follow you." Ning Ran suddenly looked back firmly.

"Really?!"

"Even if a lot of people don't believe in us or even leave us, our core team can believe in this reason."

It was enough to leave Zhengcheng and Rumei willing to follow us.

"That's what you mean by the core team?"

"Yes, and more and more people will believe in our vision in the future."

That's what vision is all about, especially when faced with the challenges that lie ahead.

Even if it sounds unrealistic, it's better than not having or setting a very easy goal.

Wen Chengcai, who had to accept it, recalled a question, "That Ning Ran, last time you said victory, ...... you"

"Victory is not something I want to pursue, although you convinced me half of it in that moment." Ning Ran smiled weakly.

"Then you ......"

Because I have seen too many pillars of the family die under my gun, and I have seen too many desperate eyes of my family.

"Go back to the younger sister and guard this home with you."

Home?

"Your new vision has conquered me, though." Smile softly.

Don't tease me.

"Go ahead, team leader, remember my words, for the sake of our vision, from now on, we must cherish our lives, and we must retreat with all our bodies."

I see. Wen Cheng nodded and turned around.

◇

Half an hour later, the old and the clouds rose. Wen Cheng and Rumei walked side by side.

The three objectives of this trip are to probe the enemy, confirm Xu Yan's traces, and analyze the feasibility of taking this spiritual vein.

But. How do you convey the vision of the Shinnokumi to them?

Still reminiscing about Ning Ran's words in his heart, Wen Cheng did not open the topic, Rumei walked forward with a vigilant gaze without saying a word, and walked in front of Wen Cheng from time to time.

Odd.

I always felt that there was a mysterious aura behind me, but the other party seemed to be able to hide the breath well and didn't show up, Xiaozhu had to feel his brother's breath while being vigilant, and followed after about a hundred meters.

is intertwined by chaotic thoughts, and from time to time I am a little distracted.

This place is not simple, the breath is getting more and more disordered, what is going on these days?

The intersection of the upper hill is next to the road, the wreckage of the van is hastily pushed aside, a high archway stands on the stone steps not far away, the torii as the entrance is covered by several fences, and a large signboard for the maintenance of the scenic spot stands aside.

The mountain road winds and winds, with a bamboo forest on one side, and the charred footprints are faintly recognizable, even if it is close to noon, there is a thin morning mist.

It is impossible to tell the size of the foggy valley by visual inspection alone, and it is impossible to determine the correct size without dropping a few drones.

After walking less than three hundred meters, a dirt path leading to the valley appeared on the left.

The footprints of four or five people went straight down the valley. But at this time, there are still two options, and a dozen steps can reach the ruins of the Hexagonal Pavilion, or the lower valley.

Wen Cheng was about to ask Rumei's opinion, when suddenly his vision suddenly changed, all he could see was the outline, and the world was reduced to a white expanse.

Rumei also disappeared.
