Looking at the starry light that Kiga Chimera had turned into in the sky, it took a while for people to react and let out a deafening cheer.

Sero and the other eight Ultra brothers floated side by side in the air, quietly watching the people cheering for them.

But it's not over yet. The puppet clones of the shadow mages scattered all over the city turned into strange purple light clusters and floated in the air, and then quickly converged.

"We're not going to disappear...", the Shadow Mage, a giant Evil Heart King and Shadow Mage formed by the negative energy gathered by all the puppet clones, appeared in front of Sero and the Eight Ultra brothers. Its 1,500-meter-tall body instantly set a new record for the largest monster that Sero had ever seen, and in Sero's eyes, the shadow mage was not much different from a monster...

"We are able to summon powerful monsters countless times and envelop the hearts of humans in the darkness of despair!" The gigantic shadow mage continued in his eerie, hoarse voice, "Wipe out all Ultramans in the parallel worlds!" Ha ha... Hahaha..."

Sero and the others were not moved at all, and Diga opened his mouth to retort: "It's useless! No matter how desperate it is, the light in the heart of human beings will not disappear! ”

"Ah~ Attack!" Sero also acquiesced to Tiga's words and shouted loudly. The ice axe that had just returned from Toushan was separated from the body again and assembled to the sides of the timer by Sero's backhand.

At this moment, all Ultramans present, including Sero, shone with a dazzling golden light!

"This is—" looked at the golden light shining on his body in surprise, and Sero wondered.

At this time, the other eight Ultramans glanced at each other, and then nodded silently, as if they had made some decision together. The eight Ultramans then put their hands on the shoulders of their partners, and finally Tiga and Hatsudai put their hands on Sero's shoulders.

Feeling a warm and massive energy quickly converging into his body, Sero turned his head to look at everyone. Everyone on both sides of Sero nodded slightly, and Sero chuckled and stopped talking.

The eight Ultra brothers, who were floating behind Sero and shining with golden light, passed on the light from their bodies to Sero. With the transmission of the golden light, the golden light on Sero's body became more and more dazzling.

And Sero, who was wrapped in golden light, had a solemn expression, carefully experiencing the perception brought by the light of the human heart.

In a trance, Sero seemed to have come to a place that seemed to be very familiar to him, and Sero, who had turned into a human form, looked blankly at this familiar and strange place.

The man in front of him with his back to him made Sero feel a little familiar.

"Yo, you unlovely boy, do you live like the wind?" The man with his back to Sero in front of him spoke.

"You... You are... Bearded...? After hearing the man's voice, Sero suddenly remembered who the familiar man in front of him was, that was the guy he remembered the most in his previous life.

Although, Sero and he have known each other for less than a month...

----- the dividing line of memory-----

A military base

"This is the newly redeployed member, codenamed Zero." A man who looked like a chief pointed to the expressionless young man beside him. Then he glanced at everyone in the audience, "Seven, forty, nine, zero will be your partner in the future, don't underestimate him, otherwise you will regret it." ”

"Ah~ yes..."The man named by the code name 749 replied lazily, this man looked to be about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he had a beard, so he was nicknamed a beard.

"You kid really broke the previous record and was sent here out of the ordinary? No, ~ how old are you..."Qi4jiu, who walked towards the dormitory, looked at the information in his hand and said to the young man next to him with a look of disbelief. But before he could finish speaking, a cold dagger was already around his neck.

"Uh... Just kidding~ haha... Ha..."Seven-Four-Nine looked at the young man in front of him in a cold sweat, he didn't even realize that the young man drew the dagger from there.

The young man glanced at him faintly, withdrew his dagger and walked forward silently. The palpitating Seven Forty-Nine touched his neck, and then quickly caught up with the young man.

.....

"Ah, you're here~" The bearded seventy-four nine looked at the young man who was fiddling with the dagger in his hand and said, but the young man didn't even move his eyelids, and was still concentrating on adjusting the dagger in his hand.

"Your name is Zero, right? This code name is really not good, hahaha... Haha..."The bearded man said to the boy mockingly, but at the end of the laugh, he found that the boy still ignored him, so he stopped laughing awkwardly.

"Do you have any ideals? For example, saving the world and so on. As if accustomed to the indifference of the boy, the bearded man spoke again. Ignoring the young man's reaction, he continued: "My ideal is to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future and live a happy life, which is very ordinary, right? ”

"Ordinary indeed." The boy said lightly.

"Uh... It's really an unlovely boy, you can't tell a white lie..."Although he heard the young man speak, the faint tone and content were simply lethal, and the bearded man said speechlessly.

"There's no need." The boy still didn't look up, and responded lightly.

"Uh... Okay, okay, I'm convinced. The bearded man gave up hearing the good words from the young man's mouth, got up and said, "I'm here to inform you that there is a mission." Let's get out of the way. ”

.....

Playground

After the task, the boy looked at the children who were happily holding their parents' hands and playing around on the playground, and couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"You're envious?" The bearded man asked as he looked at the distracted boy, who was showing some emotion when he saw him for the first time.

"Before, perhaps." The young man who came back to his senses said lightly, "Now, I only think about how to complete the task. ”

"I heard that you chose to be an agent when you chose a career at twelve?" When I see a duplicitous teenager, I don't pick a beard. He chuckled and said, "Why?" You're the first one at that age to choose a profession with the highest mortality rate as a secret agent. ”

“... Just repay the favor. The boy was silent for a moment before replying.

"Really? Hearing the young man's answer, the bearded man seemed to remember something, and said softly, "That... Have you ever decided something of your own volition? For example..."

"A good agent doesn't need a lot of emotion." Before the bearded man could finish speaking, the boy interrupted, "That will only make the mission fail." ”

"Hehe, are you saying I'm not a good agent?" The bearded man chuckled, but the boy did not answer, acquiescing.

"Maybe I'm really unqualified~" The bearded man shrugged indifferently, then took out a quaint black square and handed it to the boy, "This is something left by one of my brothers, give it to you to play with." ”

The boy didn't speak, glanced back at the bearded man, and reached out to take the quaint cube that resembled a Rubik's cube.

"I've been fiddling with that thing for years, and I don't understand it. Seeing how nimble your hand is with the dagger, you might be able to handle it. Seeing the boy take the cube, the bearded man chuckled and said.

"Ah, the wind is blowing," said the bearded man, closing his eyes and enjoying it.

The young man who didn't understand what the bearded man was talking about directly ignored him and concentrated on fiddling with the quaint Rubik's Cube in his hand.

.....

in the dormitory

"Give." The boy walked into the bearded man's room and tossed him something.

The bearded man reached out for some reason and took the thing that the boy had thrown to him, and looked at it intently. It's a quaint jade pendant, but it doesn't look very good.

"What is this?"

"What's inside the cube." The boy said as if he didn't care.

"You solved it in one night?!" The bearded man said with a look of surprise, he has been fiddling with that thing for several years and hasn't done it, this kid untied it in one night, this is really shocking...

"Well, it's not difficult." The young man replied with an unchanged expression, in fact, it was not a night, he just fiddled with it for ten minutes. It's a good thing he didn't say it, otherwise the bearded man would have burst into tears...

"I'd better put it on for you, after all, it's all for you." The frustrated bearded man was depressed and ready to throw the jade pendant to the boy, but the boy turned around and left.

"Don't give away what others leave you." The bearded boy with his back to him said lightly, and then left the bearded room.

"Hehe, was discovered by that unlovely boy?" The bearded man rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly, then found a thin thread and put the jade on his neck.

.....

"This mission is very serious, and it is also related to the dignity of the country, so we must not allow failure!" A commander said to the crowd in front of him.

"Understood!" Everyone also replied cooperatively, and then began to rush to the destination of this mission.

This combat mission is to wipe out the elite agents sent by other countries, and there is no backup. The whole process can only be completed by these fifteen elites, and the mortality rate is quite high.

The boy, codenamed Zero, is constantly shuttling through the jungle. Six agents from other countries have died at his hands in the past ten days, but the situation is still very serious for them, because they have already sacrificed three elites.

After climbing over a jungle, the boy suddenly stopped. Slowly lurking in the surrounding grass and moving forward, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

After a while, the boy moved to the place where the smell of blood came from, and what greeted him was a beard covered in blood! There was also a foreign agent lying on his back beside him, and the wound on his neck was actually bitten by his teeth to cut his throat! Until death, he still stares at the sky with his eyes, and he does not blink his eyes to death.

The young man was not impulsive, and cautiously confirmed several times that there was no ambush around him before appearing and walking to the bearded man who fell to the ground. At this moment, the bearded man who fell to the ground suddenly burst out, pulled out his pistol and was about to open fire on the boy!

However, the boy reacted faster, reached out and held the body of the pistol, and quickly pulled it upward. The bearded man was so boarded by the teenager that he was disarmed by the teenager before he could shoot.

"It's you... Hehe... Ahem..."The bearded man realized that the person who came was his partner, and just when he wanted to laugh twice, he couldn't help coughing violently, coughing up a lot of blood.

"Heh, don't look at it, it's hopeless..."The bearded man looked at the boy and said indifferently, "Hey, you unlovely boy, do you have any wine?" ”

"Nope." The boy replied.

"Hehe, all... It's all about time, you're... Can't you lie to me?" said the bearded man, looking at the boy.

“... Yes. After a brief moment of silence, the boy spoke again.

"Haha... Ha... Ahem... Ahem, ahem, ahem..."The bearded man burst into laughter at the boy's words, followed by a violent cough.

"It's kind of cute this time." After coughing violently, the beard seemed to be much more energetic, and he no longer stuttered when he spoke. But it's not happy, it's obviously a return to the light...

"Boy, remember when I asked you if you ever decided something of your own volition?" The bearded man spoke, and the boy nodded silently.

"No, right? Just look at your performance and you can see that you don't have a goal of your own at all. You also said that you only became an agent to repay the country's nurturing kindness, after all, you don't have a sense of belonging at all, right? Seeing that the young man nodded again in acquiescence, the bearded man looked up at the sky, "It's impossible for you to change it now, you've long been used to this kind of life..."

"Boy, let's make a pact." The bearded man suddenly said to the boy, "An impossible promise. ”

"Impossible... Conventions? ”

"Hmm." The bearded man looked into the distance with blank eyes, "Since I was a child, I have longed to be as free and unrestrained as the wind, but this is probably just a luxury for you and me, so I want to make an appointment with you." ”

“... You said. The boy said as he looked at the beard that was starting to get weak.

"Hehe, if, I mean if... There really is a so-called next life..."The bearded man said softly, "Live like the wind... Like the wind that will never be restrained... Alive..."

"Like the wind... The same? The boy was stunned, and his face immediately returned to calm.

"That's it." The bearded man smiled in the direction of the young man with blank eyes, "Okay, those guys are probably coming soon, you can go quickly... Otherwise, it will be too late..."

"....." The young man silently glanced at the bearded man again, and then turned to leave, it was impossible for him to leave with the seriously injured beard...

"Hehe, what a calm guy," said the bearded man with a chuckle after the boy left.

At this time, a breeze gently blew on the bearded face.

"It's windy..."

The bearded man weakly stretched out his right hand, as if trying to catch the omnipresent wind, but in the end it didn't work...

Because his hand had fallen to the ground weakly, and he still had a satisfied smile on his face...

.....

In the end, only the boy made it out of the jungle alive. After returning to the military base, the teenager was awarded the title of the best agent with the most potential, and how many people will remember, what about the fourteen people who died for this mission?

A few days later, a piece of jade pendant was delivered to the young man. It was the only remnant of the bearded man found by the aftermath team, and according to the bearded suicide note, this jade pendant must be sent to the young man's hand.

Because this cube containing this jade pendant is a relic left to him by the bearded man's ex-partner. Now, he has given it to the boy as his own belongings.

This jade pendant has been accompanied by the growth of the teenager until nine years later, when the teenager died in the self-explosion of a biochemical base in an island country...

----- reminisced dividing line-----

"What? Don't remember me? You're still so unlikable as an unlovely teenager~" The bearded man said teasingly.

"You're not..."

"Dead? That's what you mean to say, right? The bearded man picked up Sero's unfinished words unconcernedly, "Stammering doesn't look like your style, boy." ”

"Hehe, give you some color and you will open a dyeing room? You fake uncle~" Sero retorted back to his usual tone.

"Huh? Hahaha... Interesting, now you look like you should behave at your age, which is like before, teenage hairy children like to pretend to be calm. ”

"Hairy boy? It seems that the position of this hairy boy in your mouth is two levels higher than you~" Sero also joked politely.

"Uh... Actually, the position is a fictitious position, so there's no need to pay so much attention to it... Ha... Haha..."As if being poked in the hole, the man laughed awkwardly, trying to divert Sero's attention.

"Okay, I've been dead for so many years, you shouldn't just come to talk to me." Sero didn't bother to pierce the beard's cover, and asked.

"Hehe, I'm really just chatting with you..."Looking at Sero with a look of contempt, the beard rubbed his nose helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, to be honest, I don't know how I came here, but it seems that thanks to you, I can appear in front of you for a short time when I should have died." ”

"Huh? Temporarily? You... Can't stay here? Sero said in surprise.

"Hehe, I'm a dead man, of course I can't stay in this world, this time it's also thanks to you, the warm light on your body brought me, and I'm about to leave."

"Where are you going?"

"God knows~ Anyway, death is dead, no matter where he goes..."The bearded man shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, but his expression still exposed his heart, the kind of uneasiness and panic that he didn't know where he would go.

"Anyway, it's time for me to go. Boy, don't miss me too much~"

"Hehe, will this young master miss you? Dream on~" Sero said with a chuckle, then turned and left.

"Young Master Ben? Hehe... You kid—" The bearded man chuckled twice when he heard Sero's words that were not right, and turned to walk away as well.

"Hey, bearded"

"Huh?" As soon as he turned around, the bearded man heard Sero's voice and turned to look at Sero in confusion.

"Remember to live like the wind, I kept my promise." Sero turned to look at the bearded man and said.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You still use your little hairy boy to remind?" I've given it to you. ”

"Ah, so I'll give it back to you now." Sero said with a chuckle.

"Hehe, then I'll thank you, you uncute boy has become cute, hahaha..."

"Get out, get out~" Sero chuckled and turned to leave again, this time Sero didn't look back.

"It's really a super adaptable kid, it's still the same as before, but, thank you, kid...."The bearded man looked at the vanishing Sero, and the anxiety in his heart about not knowing where he would go next had disappeared.

"I'm leaving, I'm going to be ahead of that kid, this time it's my turn, free as the wind...", the bearded man said, turning around and walking forward with a firm step. No matter where the road leads, he also wants to work hard to pursue his ideal life and live as freely as the wind...

.....

Back to the real world

Sero looked at the giant shadow mage on the other side and laughed softly, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, so I'll give you a gorgeous funeral..."

With that, the light that had been stored in his chest for a long time suddenly burst out. A dreamlike rainbow of light shot towards the gigantic Shadow Mage with countless golden bands of light, ignoring the distance between them, and instantly bombarded the Shadow Mage's body!

Bearded, live like the wind, I did it, I really want to show you, thank you for reminding me of that.

Look at it, the promise that spans time...

Mystery!

Aurora: Sparkling New Life!

(Today's second watch is over.,There probably won't be a plot recalling the protagonist's past life in the future.,As for where the beard will go?) God knows, it won't be in this book again anyway. As for the memory part, it is pure nonsense, please don't delve into it. ）
