Volume 1: The Tide of Dusk, the End of Old Dreams (3)

Qi Tianming's eyes slowly tightened, as if he had been touched to the most sensitive corner of his heart, his limp fists clenched, and his mind was full of thoughts that were about to lose consciousness.

"Why, I'm a little surprised, you should know what that kid is, so I won't explain it to you. ”

There was a mischievous laugh coming from her mouth, like a child who had made a funny joke with her elders.

The scene in front of him was gradually dissipating, and the golden heart had already stopped beating, and it was able to survive until now completely relying on the tenacious spiritual power and vitality brought by his ability, but the ability that belonged to him could no longer be urged.

The last vestige of his ability was quietly flowing away from the cracked wound, and the golden lion standing just now was just a weak old man at this moment, and the breath of life was rapidly flowing in this body.

He still has many questions that have not been answered, it should be said that in this life, he has too many unsolved doubts, his eyes look at the figure that sneaks up on him, and the tall figure with his back to him is in a vacuum, isolated from the air, so that he who is sensitive to his senses cannot smell a trace of breath.

"Old guys, I'm coming. ”

He lowered his head, there was no reluctance in his lowered eyes, a bitter smile couldn't help but come to his lips, and his body, which could no longer be supported, fell to his knees with a bang, and his proud head finally hung down at the last moment.

Finally ushered in the end, and the dual emotions of regret and relaxation surfaced in my heart for the last time.

"My friend, may you have made the right decision. ”

The faint murmur was drowned out by the sound of blood dripping, and the breath of life completely dissipated from the body.

A golden lion figure flashed in midair, and the energy essence that shimmered with golden brilliance overflowed from his body and drifted away towards the shattered glass roof.

5 January 1953, Kingston-on-Thames

"Now, according to my arrangement. ”

The man in the white coat let out a puff of smoke and asked the man in the brown leather jacket next to him.

It was the cold winter, the air turned into frost, and the smoke mixed with the fog and drifted away in the air.

"Otherwise, what else can you do, you are so calculating, listen to you. ”

The muscular man in the leather jacket had his back on his head, and he straightened his hair that had been blown in the wind, and complained with some dissatisfaction.

"You're also a big man, don't be like a resentful woman every day. ”

"I'm not like you old monster, you know that I'm not good at dealing with those messy incidents, the situation outside is not peaceful, and the wars between the capable are going on one after another, and that war has only been a few decades since it was like this, it's annoying to think about!"

The leather-clad man sighed heavily, leaning against the bridge and looking at the bustling crowd on the side of the road.

"To be honest, we are really different, the passage of time is like stagnation in you, but I am different, there is always a limit to what one person can do. ”

The leather-clad man pouted at the man next to him, looking helpless about the topic.

"A few decades ago, I could be on the front line, and I can now, but in a few decades, people like us will die one day, and maybe you are destined to face everything alone one day. ”

"So you can't leave your old friends alone, and I'll be very troubled if that day comes. ”

"I can't say you, forget it, anyway, when I'm alive, you can send me quickly, I'm also an old man, I can't be used by you for long. ”

"I see your posture, wouldn't it be a problem to work hard for another hundred years? ”

The man in white looked at the man with a sturdy physique beside him, from the appearance he was only about thirty years old, and his actual age was indeed twice his age, and his unusually vigorous vitality delayed the aging of his organs and skin, and the shadow of a male lion was reflected in his eyes with a faint golden light.

"Say yes in advance, I'm going over there but I'm ready to retire, don't bother me every day if there's anything bad going on here in the future. ”

"Deal, I promise you, for the time being, I can still handle it. ”

"Hey, it would be nice if Lao Bei was still here. ”

The leather-clothed man's eyes darkened, and the gloomy atmosphere made the two of them not speak for a while, and there was no sadness or joy in the face of the man in white covered by his long hair, but he smoked calmly and let time flow slowly.

"Anyway, it's a real place to get away from strife, and I'm sure you'll manage it well before you start that project. ”

The man in white was the first to break the silence, he put out the cigarette, put it in the iron portable ashtray he carried with him, waved his hand at the man in leather clothes, and turned to walk across the bridge.

"Do you really think that the day the project will be launched?"

The stout man asked towards the back of the man in white, and the cold wind blowing from the bridge spread the sound far away.

"Tianming, you know me, I never do things that don't make sense. ”

His answer became farther and farther away, and the figure dressed in white disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed here.

The sturdy man scratched his neatly combed back, and he pulled out the extra ticket in his pocket at some point, and sighed heavily.

"I, Qi Tianming, shouldn't be entangled with this old thing!"

He shook his head and turned to walk towards the other end, the cold wind that blew made him shrink his neck, and a faint golden light poured out from his neck, blocking the erosion of the cold wind.

"The British's clothes really don't work. ”

The whining words dissipated in the wind, and the figure of the man gradually faded away at the head of the bridge, blending into the hurried crowd of people in the block.

The sky was getting darker, the dim light was shining through the glass dome, which had been completely shattered, and the rain could fall suddenly at any moment beyond the temperature threshold.

Qi Tianming maintained a kneeling posture with his head bowed, but his anger had completely dissipated, and the body that had lost his ability to maintain it was a little old at this time, wrinkles kept spreading on his face, and dry white hair gradually crawled all over his head.

"It's so dangerous, I didn't expect this old lion's fangs to be so sharp. ”

She sighed as she opened her hands, the suspended four-color origin was slowly absorbed under her movements, and under the consumption of the summoning spear, the luster of the origin dimmed a lot, Rao is so, the legendary divine spear was almost defeated by Qi Tianming.

"Thanks to you, you saved us a lot of effort. ”

She chuckled at the black-clad figure standing aside.

"Your abilities, are they working? ”

Ignoring her teasing, the man turned toward Wisdom and asked in a deep voice.

"It's about an hour? I can't predict it, after all, it's the first time I've tried a person like you. ”

Wisdom smiled and shrugged, looking at the person in front of him with a little helplessness.

The man stopped talking, he lifted his coat, leaped into the shattered dome, and disappeared in an instant.

"What a shy child. ”

She raised her right hand, and the right arm of the fire elemental illusion jumped in the air, showing signs of losing control.

"It's not a loss to exchange one hand for the life of the Lionheart. ”

She walked slowly towards wisdom, her originally ruddy face turned pale because of the consumption of the war, like a delicate girl who had been bedridden all year round.

"Well, how long can I stay like this? ”

"Ten days at most, but that's enough time for us. ”

He stretched out his hand to the girl who walked in front of him, knelt on her shoulder, and the fluctuating energy passed from his hand into the kingdom's body, soothing the somewhat disordered soul aura in her body.

"Is it necessary to do this? ”

Sensing the situation in the girl's body in his hand, he couldn't help frowning slightly, her aura was even weaker and disordered than he imagined, but the flowing origin was constantly repairing and suppressing it, so that it would not explode.

"After all, the opponent is the Lionheart, and this level is nothing. ”

Her tone and demeanor gradually calmed down under the transmission of wisdom, returning to her original solemn and majestic demeanor, and the flickering uncertainty in her blue eyes also calmed down.

"Huh?"

A soft sound came from the elevator hall behind him, and the elevator hall, which was not affected by the ability of the two, was still running independently, and the floor showed that the elevator was rising to the 49th floor.

At the same time, the eyes of the two of them followed the sound to the slowly opening elevator door, looking at the figure in the elevator, a playful smile welled up on the corner of her mouth.

"Fate is really wonderful. ”

The slightly messy purple shawl hair slowly fluttered as the origin gushed out again, and the restless air seemed to welcome visitors.
