Chapter 7: A Ridiculous Fate
Colorful houses are lined up on both sides of the road in an orderly manner, and the traffic is constantly flowing, and the slanting sun reflects the happy faces of pedestrians on the road. This is the holy capital that Qazi sees, and although it is very different from what Alain Bu describes, it is indeed very much like heaven.
"The sun is about to set, how slow is your broken car?" The first thing Xia Ke did after getting out of the car was to complain.
"Oh, I can't help it, the engines are so worn, don't be embarrassed about it." Kuva looked unbeaten, then turned to Kazi and said, "Then, I'll take you to the institute now." ”
"Then I'll go around and I'll be looking for you soon."
Kazi didn't say anything, but agreed. He didn't understand the girl's thoughts, but he was still a little lost in his heart. Kuva seemed to have guessed Kazi's feelings, and while comforting him, he drove the car to the end of the road.
At the end is a white high-rise building with a shimmering dark green glass curtain wall, surrounded by landmarks and plants like boxwood and snow trees. To be precise, it is truly called the Holy City, and other buildings outside of it are only accessories.
"See? The building with the S-shaped logo on the top is the Academy of Sciences. Kuva excitedly pointed ahead with his finger.
Kazi nodded helplessly, he was not blind, he had already seen it. After the car was parked, he was taken to the Academy of Sciences by Kuva.
Despite the thin patches of glass, Kazi saw a lot of strange machinery inside, and there was a foul smell coming from it, which he didn't like. Kuva soon vanished, and the chatter of his former colleagues could be heard in the hall, and poor Kazi was left alone in the corner. But soon, Kazi saw a middle-aged uncle in a gray coat walking towards him.
The atmosphere of the cemetery is unusually deserted, and the granite stele records the names of those who deserve to be remembered by the state, which is the highest honor. One of the steles was recently erected, and the name engraved on it was the most familiar to Qazi. The flowers enshrined at the bottom of the monument still have fresh traces, and the bright petals sway in the wind, as if they will scatter at any time.
"Dr. Meron died about a few days ago, and no one noticed how he was murdered, and I'm sorry we couldn't catch the killer." The man, who claimed to be the superintendent, said.
What's the use of apologizing now? If an apology could bring people back to life, Kazi would have apologized more than 100,000 times. He knew that this was just his momentary angry words, just a useless angry word that silently accepted his parents' wholehearted efforts without knowing how to thank and repay the favor, and rigidly thought that this was the stupid child who should be. Now he is standing in front of his "father", and his sadness can no longer describe his mood at the moment, he is like an emotionless monster, and he has not even shed a tear.
"What about Mom?" The sound was as cold as ice.
The superintendent seemed to be frightened by him, and he took a step back and leaned against the locust tree next to him and said, "It's a pity that Academician Bina has not been able to find his whereabouts since then, as if the world has evaporated." Seeing that Kazi was not reacting, the superintendent paused and continued, "Obviously, they were the killer's target in the first place. ”
Sitting on the grass in front of the stele, Kazi's thoughts drifted into the distance. I don't know much about his parents since then, except that they work far away, have a stable income, buy him all kinds of interesting things, and when they come back, they wander in the endless paradise of joy without worry. It was only at this moment that he realized that while living this life that he thought he was very happy, he had been losing the thing that was important to him, and it felt like he had never had it.
After some time, the superintendent said goodbye to him, citing the heavy workload.
I don't know how long it took for Kuva's voice to ring in his ears.
"I know you're having a hard time, but...... It's getting late, it's time for us to go. ”
Kazi's body trembled slightly, and he stood up slowly, he was stronger than he had imagined.
On the way back, the car seemed to be much faster than when it came. Along the way, Kuva talks to herself about how she bargains with the car guild people, while Xia Ke shows off strange things she bought out of nowhere. Only Kazi stared out the window, watching the brilliant meteor streak across the horizon and then disappear into silence, and a supernova fell.
"It's okay, I'll send you back tomorrow." Kuwa walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"No, I want to stay here." There was a resolute determination in Kazi's words.
Everyone was puzzled, but only Yin Yun understood what he meant. With his hands crossed, he looked at those empty eyes, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Maybe you should know that children are not allowed to join the Demon Hunting Society, at least I don't agree, but I can't call the shots in this matter."
Kuvaha laughed, showing an expression of "I see", but did not say anything, and then left silently.
Xia Ke, who was sitting on the crimson sofa and munching on snacks, raised his hand excitedly at this time: "I agree!" ”
As if even the air had frozen, the fluorescent lamps on the ceiling glowed pale and the glass of the windows reflected the equally pale faces of the crowd, only the wise flat-screen TV behind the front desk knew that the legendary heavyweight was finally about to appear.
A drunken bald head suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding a bottle of rum in his hand and sticking to the door frame with a dead face, and his mouth was still laughing "hahaha" from time to time.
Yin Yunxin couldn't say it well, ran over like the wind and walked towards the back room with his bald head in his arms. The unpleasant smell of alcohol gradually spread, Xia Ke and Kazi couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, and Yin Yun, who came back, could only show an embarrassed smile.
"Excuse me, but I'm smiling. This is the president's ** sick, and we can't do anything about him. ”
President? That...... That's the president of the Demon Hunters? Kazi gasped, this demon hunting club is really a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.
Xia Ke seemed to be accustomed to it, she put down the bag of snacks, sat down next to Kazi, leaned close to him and whispered, "I've seen this kind of thing several times, and the president looks like a child when he's drunk." Once when he came back, he drank all the wine in his hand, so he reached out to get the wine on the wine cabinet, but Yin Yun saw it and was beaten. ”
Xia Ke's words caused Kaqi to laugh, and turned his head to look at Yin Yun with a gloomy face, feeling that he should be the kind of gentle and humble gentleman, not like a rude guy who can beat people.
"Well, ask the president tomorrow, and I'll have no problem if he agrees with you staying." Yin Yun glared at Xia Ke fiercely.
Kazi nodded obediently, but his inner activity was violent: Isn't it? The guy who can beat the president should be the boss here, according to this situation, Yin Yun is the boss here, the so-called president is the second boss here, and Sister Xia Ke and Uncle Wei can only be the third and fourth here, so it seems that offending him will not end well.
It was nearly midnight, and Kazi stared out the window at the stars in a daze. It's not like he didn't want to go home, but what's the use? Now the grandmother and grandmother have no one to rely on, and going back will only cause trouble for them. If he could find someone to talk to, would Kazi really wish Arambu could be here, was it right or wrong to stay here? Where will your destiny lead?
