But I don't want to be comfortable. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin. - Adolphus Huxley, Brave New World.

◇

That was 10 years ago.

She saw the people she missed very much, tall and tall, with a bright and gentle face, the person who often smiled warmly in her impression, and the person who had exactly the same face as she grew up.

"Have you slept well lately, Wanghai?" (Yoo Shin's original name.) ）

At the end of the day, it grew dark in the room.

A golden light opened through the crack in the door, and it was a woman in a trench coat.

"Good night today, too."

The empress smiled, the red-haired girl did not answer, curled up in the quilt in pink pajamas, with her father's graphic paper left by the pillow.

It was still an old house, with a dim two-bedroom living room, and Liu Xiu and Liu Zhen slept together.

With a click, she turned and closed the door.

At night, there will be no one left on the road. The key to the motorcycle was clenched in the glove.

I didn't have the breath of a brother, but I was still called out by this 7-year-old child, what a serious joke.

Squeak, behind the Empress, the door was pushed open.

"Sister Xiu hasn't listened to me say goodnight yet." Yoo Jin muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Really?" Liu Xiu leaned down, "My sister should know that I'm going out on patrol." ”

No, the decisive battle.

"Of course," the girl folded her arms proudly, "I have also laid out the defensive array around me, since it is already the third stage of the magic envoy, of course I must protect Sister Xiu well." ”

"Then I'm looking forward to it," Liu Xiu pinched Liu Zhen's nose, "How does it feel to be protected by your sister?" ”

I'll do the work of removing the threat for you.

"Not good," Ryu Zhen leaned over suddenly and looked at her at a very close distance, "It would be nice if I were ten years older." ”

It's not as mature as ordinary children. Liu Xiu looked at her so affectionately.

The present world is nothing but the result of historical interference.

My History.

The magic flowing in my body is no different from yours, and I can detect it if I look a little closer.

It is as if it is a faint electric current floating in the atmosphere, and it can touch the atrium without the restraint of distance.

The passionate flame empress's feelings for Lihua also seem to have inadvertently flowed to Liu Zhen.

"Then look at the sea, my sister is about to leave." She touched Yoo Zhen's head.

No, it's not right.

The girl's eyes suddenly welled up with endless sadness, why?

"Then I'm leaving, you know what happens next." Liu Xiu looked at her calmly.

Liu Zhen cried even harder, sobbing while holding her hand, "I don't understand." ”

Liu Xiu suddenly hugged Liu Zhen tightly, pushed her away again, and then smiled slightly at the door.

"Goodbye, my love."

Boom.

Yoo Jin knelt on the ground and couldn't get up again.

It's me who is wrong.

If I had known that this was the last time, I might have seen the same smile.

In order to one day redeem this farewell, I have practiced smiling again and again by myself for ten years.

At least for now, in her trench coat, she is smiling so brightly.

In the howling wind, the magic fluctuations that shake the air.

It has exceeded the speed of 200 kilometers per hour and is still slowly climbing.

The roar of steel from far and near.

Opening the throttle valve just as he was about to arrive, Yanagi injected torque into the rear wheels, and the front wheels suddenly floated, and then used a lateral pure blast to steer the body and decelerate suddenly.

The air is sprinkled with thread-like red light particles, which are not visual residues.

When the appointed time had arrived, Yoo Jin parked the motorcycle on the extinguished road in the corner of the square, took off his helmet and shook his head to let his short hair fall apart.

Wen Cheng, who had just come out of the conductor state, made a gurgling sound with white vapor all over his body, sweating profusely, his head drooped down weakly and panting, but his mouth was muttering her name.

Liu Zhen didn't care about these because.

All the action tonight has nothing to do with me.

There's only one thing I want to do.

I don't care about anything agreed upon.

Both in the East and in the West, there is a custom of force deciding everything.

"The right colonel of the Huns, Li Ling! Li Guang, the former general of the Han Dynasty! Saying this sentence in a voice that resounded throughout the audience, Liu Zhen called out a three-meter-high flag.

The glittering red and black Tai Chi was surrounded by flames on the edge of the fabric.

The crackling air, the smell of molten iron.

"I am the knight of the true princess, Liu Xiu, Emperor Wu of Hanguang!"

After tying the flagpole in the center of the circle, Liu Zhen crossed his waist and shouted to the sky.

"I'll give you one last chance, if you can kill me in three rounds, Chixiao will be yours!"

Three rounds?

The two generals who slowly walked to the opposite side narrowed their eyes. Liu Qin stood in the far corner.

Whether it is coercion or fighting skills, neither of them can compare with the empress in front of them.

"And," Ryu Zhen curled the corners of his mouth with confidence, "I won't be defensive!" ”

Hearing this, Wen Cheng, who was in a trance, suddenly let out a painful murmur.

Why not defend? It wasn't until this moment that he understood what was going on in the Great Mage's mind.

But

"Never...... You can ......" Collapsed, he struggled to crawl towards the center of the circle, as if there was something most precious there.

"Get out of the way." After throwing down this sentence to Wen Cheng, Liu Zhen paced forward.

Facing this scene, Li Ling suddenly smiled excitedly.

The noble empress in front of her is a complete target of murder.

The thirst for murder was not weak in the slightest, but he could say such a frank thing.

Won't defend.

"What if you don't die?" Li Ling asked.

"You surrender to the Shinnoku."

Is it? Li Ling suddenly smiled, this is the best condition.

If we win, we will get the supreme red sky, and if we lose to the strong, it is also a good choice to surrender.

Is that so?

"No," Li Guang took two steps back and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to make a mistake in my humble position." ”

Grandpa, why are you so stupid?

Anyway. Li Ling took a step forward.

"Then, I'm going to kill you now."

This sentence liberated the shackles of the two of them.

"Ling'er is presumptuous! Get on your knees! Li Guang yelled in a deep voice.

Li Ling glared at Liu Zhen with resentment.

As long as my master is not dead, I have a duty to be faithful to him.

If you want to be loyal, you can prove it by killing Liu Zhen!

Yoo Jin ran.

On the marks scattered with gunsmoke, in the evening breeze, lightning-fast speed.

At a distance of less than ten meters, it was enough for the series of actions of choking Li Ling's throat and then pressing Chixiao against his neck.

No defense, that is, an all-out attack.

But the cost was also big enough, and an orange lightning bolt immediately swooped down.

The astonishing speed of the arrow was caught by the red eyes, but she didn't dodge.

Whoosh, whoosh......

Liu Zhen's right forearm was torn, and his right hand hung down in a daze, and the incision was gushing with blood.

She called out Chixiao with her left hand, ready to continue sprinting, while Li Ling had retreated more than ten meters away.

Can't you really get close?

You can kill him instantly with your eyes, but you have to make our team bigger anyway.

She suddenly laughed again.

So...... Hurt or something...... It's been a long time since it was taken seriously.

She used Chixiao and cut off a corner of her trench coat. Then skillfully wrap the right arm part tightly.

This tearing sensation was only one-tenth of the pain I had endured the previous times.

Because he will be stunned by his eager roar when he says it, so he will not tell the stupid person if the pain remains or something.

Smiling proudly at such a little caution.

The whirring wind stirred her short hair, making her feel like she was still awake.

A boy's cry of pain was getting closer and closer, and he seemed to dig his heart open as he crouched over his heart.

The second lightning bolt hit, and Yoo Jin simply closed his eyes.

In the darkness, I couldn't see anything, and this loneliness became clearer and clearer.

Bang dang. It's the sound of the sky falling.

The left shoulder slammed as if it had been run over by a wheel, and the connection was severed.

That's it, Liu Zhen endured the pain and opened his eyes, and two rounds had passed.

Her arms swayed like leaves in the wind, her eyes burning, and the circuits of her whole body were focused on the heat of her eyes.

The left eye is clockwise red and black Tai Chi, and the right eye is counterclockwise, and Li Ling's arm can be broken with just one shot.

However, if it is to be truly convincing.

"Li Ling, since you are so persistent," Liu Zhen, whose arms were broken, stood and said, "One last time, let you take the lead." ”

Orange lightning came straight to the heart.

Bloodlight that soars into the sky.

In front of her was the figure of a young man.
