Preface (II)

After a few tentative rounds of machine gun fire, Tata rushed in with more than a dozen men, followed by a thin middle-aged man with rather cold eyes.

Of course he knew what was going on, but there were some things that he couldn't say explicitly, and successfully killing the general was something he never dreamed of, and if it weren't for the mercenary with the old guy next to him, he would have laughed crazy in the morning!

He needs to confirm the death of the general, and the mercenaries need to confirm the death of the general. The former is to get status, and the latter is to end the commission and start a new task.

The simple but luxurious tent tent looks tattered by the strafing of bullets, and even the most basic shelter has been lost.

It's a pity that no one cares about this, and in the innermost room, the middle-aged man and the mercenaries all see the picture they want.

The general lay on the ground, with a bloody hole in his forehead, and his unrelenting eyes were full of surprise and unwillingness, as if he could not believe his death.

As for the initiator, there is no need to guess.

"Smack-bang"

Pushing away the sofa made of bulletproof materials, Aaron patted the dust on his knees,

"I remember telling you to wait a little longer and be in such a hurry to get on top?"

Ah Long said to the middle-aged man, attracting the mercenary's surprised and contemptuous gaze.

This guy?! The middle-aged man didn't expect that the round of strafing just now hadn't killed him, but instead let these mercenaries know what they shouldn't know.

If you don't kill them now, you'll have to spend a fortune!

"Kill him for me!"

The instructions of the middle-aged man are of course effective for mercenaries, and I believe that this guy will give them a satisfactory answer to the question of money, but now they still have to do their job well.

So, the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Aaron again.

"Drip-Drip"

"What sound? Tata was startled, and then seemed to think of something, "Fu*ck! “

On the soles of the mercenaries' feet, the set mine array lit up, shining with dazzling brilliance, releasing gorgeous fireworks fueled by life.

In the raging flames, Aaron tried to stand up, but found that his legs were already unconscious.

"Hehe, I'm really not very good at using this kind of minefield, boss, you really taught me so many times in vain"

Crawling with difficulty, pulling the general's corpse in a safe position, Ah Long dragged it over,

"Boss, you're ruthless enough, don't give me a chance to be soft-hearted if you don't finish speaking.

Forget it, I owe you so much before, but this time I paid it off, and my father sent it to you, if you have anything to say to your face, I won't mix it anymore. ”

Taking out a cigar from the general's pocket, lit it with the flame beside him, Aaron took a deep breath, and then pulled his backpack,

"Well, the dolls of the third daughter, the robot of the fourth bear child, tsk, why are toys so expensive now?"

Holding a red mecha-covered doll, Ah Long looked up and down, and he didn't know where this thing was expensive, it seemed to be similar to the ten yuan a toy on the roadside in the early years.

"Forget it, forget it, well, the perfume you want, it's a pity that the girl doesn't like you, and it's useless to send it; The real silver cross you want, I don't know if this thing can be burned, I can't help it~"

One by one, things were sent into the flames, and Aaron leaned back on the sofa, feeling that his body and mind were on the verge of limiting a little.

"Hey, seriously, everything you want me to do has been done, and I don't care about what you cheated me about.

But—"

With a pinch of two fingers, snuffing out the cigar, Aaron said lightly,

"In the next life, we will go our separate ways, and I don't want to see you again. The love of this life ends today. ”

Dusting off the cigarette ash from his fingers, Aaron raised his head,

"Pur-Pur"

On the mutilated LCD screen, the blurred image continued, and Aaron smiled in surprise,

"What brand of goods, the quality is not bad. Hiss - let me see what else there is, it's better to see the last trip than not to have it"

Among the ashes, the only remaining CD was picked up by Aaron, wiped a little, and put into the machine.

"Oh? Animation?

Hiss, I remember it seems to be a Saint Seiya? Dare to love this thing is still on the air, and it's also quite powerful.

The Pure Land of Bliss? It's a bit of an impression, I watched a lot with the bear child last time, and it was just one episode away

Pegasus Meteor Fist? Kind of interesting."

As his vision blurred, Aaron leaned against the collapsed wallboard, the hourglass pendant on his chest flickering by.

"By the way, and this?"

This is the ornament that several brothers bought for him when he went out on a mission for the first time, saying that it can turn evil into good fortune. But how does this thing look unlucky, but it didn't take it off because of love.

Now, it's time to take it off.

Aaron pinched the small hourglass, but hesitated and did not move. The tired eyes gradually raised, just in time to see the screen, that day the horse seat was pierced through the chest by the long sword, and collapsed weakly.

"Hey, you and I will all end up the same, a dead end."

Blood from the corners of his forehead ran down his cheeks and poured on the small hourglass.

In the inverted ornament, the speed of the quicksand gradually slowed down, like the owner's breathing, until it stopped.

=============================================

It is said that when a person dies, all pain will dissipate and all attachments will be let go, which is why some people often associate death with liberation.

Aaron didn't know what liberation was like, but now he understands a little.

The weakness and pain in the body dissipated, and the consciousness was not clear, but it could barely think.

It's just the scene in front of you, what the underworld looks like?

He stood in a low depression, surrounded by mountains that were not very tall, and in front of him was a calm lake.

If you look closely, the clear water of the lake seems to reflect the nebula.

No, maybe it's not a reflection, but a real nebula that is hidden in the waters of the lake, pulsating like a heart.

Finally, an old voice came from the lake, as if asking Aaron,

"Are you a fallen god?"

Aaron shook his head, where would I be so ugly if I were a god.

"Is that a purified monster?"

Ah Long shook his head, although his life is relatively short, he must have seen more people than ordinary people, and he really hasn't encountered monsters or anything.

"Are you a ..... human?"

There was a hint of disappointment in the old voice.

"Grandpa, I'm really sorry for being a person, it looks like you're looking for the wrong person. If it's convenient, tell me where to go, I'm in a hurry to go to reincarnation."

"Reincarnation? Haha, you're a very interesting person.

There are gods and monsters here, but they never thought of returning empty-handed, but you, a weak species, are in such a hurry to return to the underworld. ”

The nebula in the waters of the lake bloomed with a more intense brilliance, as if echoing the banter in the voice,

"I am the Lord of Time, and I heard a prayer from that distant branch not long ago, and in order to respond to that voice, I chose the right person, sent him to that time and place, and tried to do something."

"I didn't understand too much" Ah Long plucked out his ears, "Anyway, someone asked you for help, so you caught me to help them?" ”

"That's to the effect, now things are starting to go in an unknown direction, so I need to fix it, and if you can do the job, then you can get a good pay."

"Generous pay?" Aaron muttered, then shook his head again, "Sorry, I'm not interested"

"Huh? Don't you think about it for a moment? "As far as I know, humans should be a race of rich desires, and you, as a member of it, should have many things to want, right?"

Say it and maybe I can help you"

Ah Long thought for a while when he heard this, and said.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything I want."

"No?" The flow of the lake seemed to be still, and Aaron could feel something snooping on him, "Is there really not?" ”

Ah Long thought that he was not a living person, so he no longer concealed it, and simply said it

"You're so powerful, you must be able to see it.

I've gone my own way, and although it's not a life to boast about, and there are many things I don't like, but I did get the result.

What is lost has been lost, and there is no value to pick it up.

So I don't have anything to keep, and I don't have a desire to fulfill. ”

Aaron sat down and rested lazily,

"If you understand, the old man will come with another person."

"That's right," the fluctuation of the lake calmed down, and after a long time he continued, "then it should be a commission from God, how about you help me work as a human being?" ”

A commission from God?

"Aren't you as a god able to handle this easily, so why bother asking me for help?"

Aaron was surprised,

"I don't know what kind of life God is in your legends. But I really don't have much to spare in this matter. After all, the rules I have set cannot be broken by my own hands. ”

Aaron somewhat understood,

"Are those people important to you?"

"It's not a question of whether it matters or not, it's just that I, as the god of time, have work that must be done."

The nebula in the lake said lightly,

"According to your human understanding, it is probably responsibility."

Responsibility, Aaron chewed on these two words.

Since he was adopted, he has done everything willfully, and although his life has been bumpy, he has lived quite chicly.

Country, family, he did not have a clear concept, because he did not like bondage.

Now a god spoke before him about responsibility, and it made him feel weird,

Aaron stood up and patted the dust on his knees,

"Can you tell us about the situation? I need to know what's going on over there. ”

"It's still a dispute over rights and land, and the purpose of countless battles is the same," the voice grew cold in the lake, "only this time they were well prepared, and they had everything in place before I even noticed the anomaly. I don't want to go to extremes to erase life on that timeline, so I'm just looking for the right person to fix the anomaly.

If you are willing to help me, you can save a lot of people. ”

"Savior?"

Aaron smiled,

"I don't have that ability, don't overestimate me."

"I believe in my own vision, and I can also make an agreement with you, as long as you are willing to try, then I will do my best to protect the life on that parallel line."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Get there, do what you want to do, and I'm sure you, as a human being, know what you have to do."

"What a vague answer," Aaron shook his head, "I have some equipment, well, weapons and armor or something." ”

The lake was silent for a moment, and then said,

"There is no equipment, no other power, in fact, I sent you there, only in the form of reincarnation, this is to weaken your influence on that world as much as possible."

"If you don't have a weapon, you will even lose your memory, old man, I always feel that this is going to die"

"I'll leave a little strength in your memory, and maybe sometime when you grow up again, you'll be able to recall everything. Your power is up to you, and I can't help you in any way.

As for your judgment, there is no difference between this commission and sending it to death. ”

Aaron was silent for a while, then took a deep breath,

"Forget it, I've died once anyway, and one more time is nothing.

Old man, I've been talking to you for so long, I feel that you are quite pleasing to the eye, so I'll try it for you this time. ”

"Pleasing to the eye?"

"Well, that's what I mean when I think you're a good person and don't hate you."

"Well, I'm the same with that, although you're weaker, I still hope you can succeed."

Hehe, it's not unreasonable for this old guy to be single until now, Ah Long thought with malice, and then adjusted his breath and asked,

"I've heard you say that you've been talking about it for so long, and you haven't mentioned what kind of enemy you want to deal with, so if you have any information, tell me first, and a little more preparation will give you more chances of winning."

The nebula in the lake was silent, and it was not until a long time later that a voice came,

"As before, the only enemy of your humanity is the gods."
