- "The prophet of this term is a half-blood. ”

Refers to...... Number One? Is his position as firm as he says? People like Hengxie can be shaken by the faith in their hearts, but what about No. 1?

"Hmph, what do you say about half-blood, but it's just another victim of the power war."

“！！”

The voice of an extra person suddenly sounded behind him, Qiu Xuan subconsciously pulled out the blade and turned around to make a defensive posture in front of his chest, and then put down his hand in the man's inexplicable laughter.

"Why are you here?" She rubbed her still sore arm and glared at the old man, who glared back with the same unflinching. "The movement is so loud, am I deaf that I can't hear it! I've been here all along, and you just didn't notice it yourself. ”

"She means didn't you go to the Academy with the little prince and them, what are you doing here?" Qin Jiuyuan stepped forward and blocked his vision towards the old man, and at the same time, his left hand pressed a few more times on several parts, and the internal combustion ...... The internal combustion double-headed conversion optoelectronic steam magic energy impact cannon was retracted.

The name was too hardcore, and if it weren't for Qiu Xuan not being a magician, she really wanted to experience how it felt when she activated it.

"They were discovered by people from the military." The old man lit another cigar that he touched out of nowhere, and the cigar burned and exuded rich white eyes, and then he paused in Qiu Xuan's gaze, still insisting on putting it to his mouth and taking a sip.

Qiu Xuan: "I think you are ......"

"Old man, don't smoke so much." Qin Jiuyuan carried the cannon barrel on his back, stepped forward and took the cigarette butt politely and toughly, "This is good for the body." Take one less bite today, and live to ninety-nine tomorrow. ”

Old Man: WDNMD

He blew his beard and glared at Qiu Xuan and then glared at Qin Jiuyuan, and after seeing that no one paid attention to him, he had to breathe a sigh of relief, and after calming down, he continued: "Maybe that sissy reported to the Academy of Sciences, we were stopped and taken away by the army when we were halfway through, and that kid's elemental staff doesn't look very effective." ”

"Because Hengxie was originally a member of the Academy of Sciences!" Ling You interrupted him angrily, "Do it for the tiger, huh." I really didn't expect that I would be blind one day, those animals in the Academy of Sciences are really not human anymore, and I really want to let them taste the bad things they have done. ”

The old man was noncommittal and explained the folds of his clothes that had been made by the bumpy journey, and continued, "Later, when I saw the right time, Lao Tzu jumped out of the car and left, and they wanted to send someone to arrest me. It's ridiculous, the overall quality of those boys is really not as good as the generation, and they still want to catch Lao Tzu? Do you know what I used to do, I'm ......?"

"Hey, what do you mean? It was you who asked Lao Tzu before, and now it's you who patted your ass and left, can you give the old man a little respect?! ”

Knowing the information they wanted, the three of them dragged a trance-like Lin Mo towards the path leading to the Academy of Sciences. The old man hurled after them, insulting them as he said don't take the avenue in the central square, or there would be patrolling soldiers.

Along the way along the forest path to the center of Norbaili town, while passing through the free goods trading market, a ragged and dusty man was pushed and knocked into Qiu Xuan by a strong man.

In line with the principle of quickly passing through this downtown area, Qiu Xuan raised his hand and lowered the hood on his head, and after helping the man, he followed the team and wanted to pass straight, but in the next second, he was grabbed by a bony hand by his wrist.

"Tsk...... Is there anything wrong with you? ”

"Save ...... Save me, save me, please. ”

"What, do you want to meddle with him?" The strong man with a meaty face strode towards her, "I advise you not to meddle in your little girl, do you know what he did?" He wants to steal my weapons! You know, in the past, stealing other people's weapons at will would have to cut off a hand depending on the severity of the situation, not to mention that now that the world is over, when materials are as heavy as life, do you think he can still be forgiven? ”

I don't want to know the reason for the dispute, don't mess with me, the soldiers who will patrol will be here soon! Qiu Xuan lowered her head and covered most of her appearance with a wide hood, and raised her hands to show her innocence. "I didn't care about you, I also saw that he grabbed me, you guys solve your own affairs, don't come to me, go."

"No, no...... Lieutenant, save me, save me......"

"You recognized the wrong person, brother, I'm not...... Wait, what did you just say? ”

In the next second, the homeless man's withered fingers were ripped off her arm, and Qin Jiuyuan walked back and looked at the two people in front of him with unkind faces.

"We're just passers-by." He said coldly, "Solve your own affairs by yourself, don't pester her anymore." ”

"Lieutenant, lieutenant save me! Help me!! ”

The homeless man sat on his knees, as if he had seen something terrible, and he whimpered and covered his face and screamed, saliva overflowing uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and only the name of the lieutenant was shouted over and over again.

Qiu Xuan was silent for a while, and combined with his previous contextual performance, she realized that she might have been stimulated by some scene, and that person's PTSD had relapsed. "Hey! Geezer! She turned back to the man who had already reached the edge of the bazaar and shouted, "Is this man your former soldier?" ”

"What are your soldiers, my soldiers, you can't leave in a hurry!" The old man walked back with an impatient face, "Isn't it too loud for the big academy to hear, you...... Yu San?! ”

"Lieutenant! Lieutenant save me, they are here again! They want to eat me, they want to eat me...... Help me! ”

"......" The old man stood completely stiff in place, and his ravine-ravine face rarely revealed a trace of complexity and hesitation.

The strong man shouted relentlessly, seeing that there were more and more crowds of onlookers watching the excitement, and Ji Da's existence could not be revealed at all in the vast sea of people - his rotten infectious face was too recognizable. Qiu Xuan pursed her lips, and simply stepped forward to pick up the homeless man named Yu San and run.

Seeing this, the people hurriedly chased after the reaction, and the strong man cursed loudly, and then was knocked unconscious by the handle of Qin Jiuyuan's knife on the side of the neck and thrown to the ground, shaking the crowd that was about to gather around to watch the excitement take a step back.

Qiu Xuan ran with Yu San on his shoulders, but fortunately, the man was already so thin that he didn't have much flesh to the bones, so he could still carry it more or less. Seeing that she had already run to a place that was some distance away from the crowd in the market, she hurriedly moved her fingers slightly to direct Ji Da, who was following on the side, to take over the heavy responsibility of carrying people.

Yu San is still struggling with the nightmare of PTSD. Controlling Ji Da to grab him and continue to run forward, Qiu Xuan turned around and walked a few steps to look at the old man and the others who followed him.

"Hurry up, your soldiers are looking for you, go and see him." She pulled the old man closer to Yu San, but the old man hesitated rarely, neither sarcastically nor with any disdainful and arrogant expression.

The group ran to a relatively safe distance and stopped, and Ji Da put Yu San down. When the ragged homeless man saw the old man, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, his limbs still twitching unnaturally, and he froze in place in fear of something, but the child still shouted "Lieutenant" in his mouth.

The rest of the people watched the play with their arms crossed, and the old man glared at them before hesitating forward, his arms hanging in the air and stiffening for a moment, but then patting the man's thin shoulder comfortingly.

"Go home, ah." Finally, he said, "Didn't I give you a house in the center of the city when I was assigned it after the war, go back, your brother is still waiting for you at home." Didn't I say it, don't think so much, live well. ”

"It's gone, it's gone...... It's all gone. "The iron-blooded soldier who once belonged to the Academy of Sciences was crying profusely, his messy and greasy hair sticking to his face with snot and tears." Home, gone...... Yu Xiaosi is gone...... He's been taken away and turned into that kind of man-eating monster, and he wants to eat me! They, they want to eat me! ”

The old man couldn't bear to turn his head away, but he didn't dare to look at the sorrow in his eyes anymore, regardless of the dirty and ugly embarrassment of the man, he hugged Yu San and stopped him by the shoulder. "It's okay, no one will eat you, it's all over. The war is over, it's all over, you'll be fine. ”

I don't know how long it took, Yu San calmed down little by little. His eyes regained consciousness and no longer trembled, and he hugged the old man hard, his fingertips white as if he had grasped the only life-saving straw.

"Lieutenant, I know, I'm okay just ...... The old mistake is committed. You're finally back, and we miss you so much. ”

The old man patted him on the shoulder.

"You're right!" Yu San suddenly raised his head, and a scorching light erupted in his cloudy eyes. "The Academy's approach is wrong, and Luoshui's decision is wrong! We have to stop them, the brothers who survived the war are waiting for you! Let's tell the truth to the people of Nobel, and together we stop this misguided plan, Lieutenant! ”

“……”

“…… I'm not. ”

Yu San's eyes widened, "What did you say?" ”

"I said I wasn't." The old man turned back and stopped looking at him, "Forget about those things, go back and find a new place to live well, don't mess around anymore when you're old." ”

"Lieutenant?!"

"I said I wasn't!!" The old man suddenly roared, and Yu San stiffened to the side as if he was frightened. The old man then walked to the side of the onlookers, and when he saw that everyone was staring straight at him, he yelled in a very bad temper: "What are you doing here, hurry up!" Then a man took the lead and disappeared into the horizon.

The others looked at each other for a moment. "Let's go." Qin Jiuyuan said.

"You go first, I'll come right over." Saying that, Qiu Xuan walked towards Yu San, who was still standing in place in a daze. "Brother, give me the contact information, and we maybe, uh, should contact you later, most probably."

"You ......"

"People with PTSD don't think so much, I know I'm not qualified to stand and talk without backache, but I'm calm, it's okay." Qiu Xuan leaned down to meet his eyes, "Wait and see, that old man will definitely regret it later, and when the time comes, I will make him cry and beg me to give him your contact information." Everybody is on the same line, so it's okay, we're always there. ”

"......" Yu San opened his mouth in vain, his throat choked without making a sound.

Lowering his head and being silent for a long time, he dug his fingers into the tattered clothes for a while, and took out a simplified version of the one-way intercom device and handed it to Qiu Xuan. "This device is connected to our tentative 'headquarters', and there will be someone on duty at all times. If the time comes...... If he really changes his mind, you can let him come to us through this. ”

"Okay. You go back first. ”

Carefully putting away the small communicator, she quickly caught up with the group in a few quick steps, and soon disappeared from view with the speed of her travel. The ragged former soldier stood and couldn't see anything, he stood there for a moment, then suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and disappeared into the bushes, not seeing the weakness he had since recovered.

On the other side, Qiu Xuan walked a few steps quickly and followed the old man, gently pulling his cuffs.

"Tell me not to give Lao Tzu that set, I'm tired of hearing your rhetoric." The old man spoke before her, and his tone was mocking, "Don't come to pity me or teach me anything, I know what I should do, I don't need you to teach me." ”

"I didn't say I was going to say this." Qiu Xuan was not angry, "I just want to ask, were you in a relationship with Luo Shui before?" ”

“…… Stay away from Lao Tzu. ”

"It doesn't seem so." Qiu Xuan shrugged, "I know you can handle your own affairs, and I don't want to influence your thoughts." But since I said this, I still have to remind that Luo Shui is the executive officer of the goal of 'human co-evolution', and she also gave the elemental staff to Hengxie, can you understand what I mean? ”

She turned her head and glanced at the old man meaningfully, "Don't be emotional. ”

"I just saw that strange group of people passing through the outskirts of the city in this direction!" Not far away, just across a low wall, a completely unfamiliar voice sounded, "They also injured Mr. Li and took away Yu San, the madman!" ”

"Are you sure it's going in this direction?"

"Sure, I saw it with my own eyes!"

The sound of orderly steps sounded, accompanied by the words of the commander-in-chief of the soldiers, and the steps of Qi Shushu trotted straight in the direction of the crowd.

The faces of the crowd froze, and they all retreated into the shadows to hold their breath. Somehow, if the man was pointing in the wrong direction or something else, the patrol team passed by the dark alley they were in and rushed to the other side of the path.

They breathed a sigh of relief, and waited until the silence outside was completely restored, and then cautiously felt out. "We've got to hurry." Ling You said, "The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to the rest of the team, and now it is imperative to ......."

"It's been a long time since I saw you......"

The next moment, a strange and beautiful female voice sounded behind her, interrupting her words.

"Lieutenant Rodel."
