The years have honed ordinary people into invulnerable steel, and they have also pampered ordinary people into weak and withered grass, what kind of environment cultivates what kind of fruit. The spring rain flutters, moisturizing things silently, everything is changing, but it has never changed, what has changed is the rhythm of change, and what has not changed is the years.

The temple bells on the top of the hill are ringing, and the vigorous pines and cypresses overlook the purple artemisia meadows below, and the crazy growth is terrifying. The gazebo next to the meadow is much more gentle, but also slightly bleak.

"Is everything ready?"

"Ready, as long as the Requiem is fully awakened, it will be time for us to retake Zhonghai City."

"The Sanyun Gang has no use value, it's all up to you this time, I hope your choice is not wrong."

"Although he is just an ordinary person, under the guidance of Requiem, he will definitely become an unimaginable force of the Dark Cross Society, and winning Zhonghai City is just around the corner."

The cardinal shook off his robe and sat down, and said in a deep tone.

"Nagi Ling, I hope you won't disappoint me like the cobbler."

"Rest assured, Requiem will be a nightmare for all of them, and all their abilities will be food for Revenant, and it will devour, devour, endlessly, until it will lead this world into the endless abyss."

The cardinal sighed and said.

"Just remember your tasks and don't do anything superfluous."

"Understood."

With that, the cardinal got up and left. Nagi Ling stood at the door and looked at the cardinal's figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He remembered the scene when he met Wu Jia for the first time not long ago, Wu Jia was a helpless wild dog at that time, and it was he who gave Wu Jia the capital to get back on his feet, so Wu Jia was just a developing tool in the eyes of Nagi Ling.

Wu Jia woke up from a nightmare, he dreamed that countless sharp claws slice open his chest and took his most precious things from it, and countless resentful spirits were also reborn at that moment, and he himself turned into a demon and embarked on a path with no end.

Wu Jia gasped for breath, and Guo Jianyue, who was next to him, was startled by his pale face, and then asked.

"Are you alright?"

Wu Jia shook his head and said.

"It's okay, I just had a very strange dream."

With that, he looked down at the Requiem on his wrist and saw that the nerve catheters had re-burrowed into his arm. Wu Jia asked with a gloomy expression.

"Still there's no way to take it off?"

Guo Jianyue sighed and said.

"Our previous experiment failed. Requiem has unimaginable greed, only your life, no, only your soul can satisfy its desires. Without you, it will go after an innocent third person, just like the woman who sent you before. If there had been no man-made ghost that night, the woman would have died. ”

Wu Jia rubbed the sheets and asked.

"And how long do I have left?"

Guo Jianyue shook his head and said.

"I don't know, it's impossible to estimate. But no matter how abundant the water is, it will eventually dry up one day. But it's not completely impossible. ”

Wu Jia was taken aback and asked.

"What's the solution?"

"It's about finding a water source that will never run out, only in this way can you fully satisfy the desire of Requiem, and still keep you from dying."

"Where's that stuff?"

Guo Jianyue shook his head and said.

"You can only ask Fang Fan about this matter, they are better at this kind of thing."

Wu Jia was silent again, thinking that he had already looked down on life and death after Fluttershy's incident, but he didn't expect to lose to the fear of death. Fluttershy's appearance became clear to him again, and he went from nostalgia to shame. He has no shame to face Fluttershy, and even more so to face his previous arrogant self. Now Wu Jia just wants to live, even if it's not so decent.

"Fang Fan, it's me."

Fang Fan on the other end of the phone sighed and asked.

"I know, what's the matter?"

"I have something I want to see you."

"Falling Cloud Town."

After hanging up, Wu Jia goes on his way alone, he doesn't tell Mishima and Toyoya Yu, and they are no different from Fluttershy in Wu Jia's eyes. But he didn't expect that his place in Mishima's heart was no longer what it used to be.

"Wu Jia, where are you?"

"I..."

Wu Jia hesitated, he didn't know if he should tell Mishima, and after a moment of silence, he said.

"I've got to go outside and take care of some things, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

"Tell the truth."

Mishima's keen intuition revealed Wu Jia's lie in one word, he no longer had an excuse to lie, and he didn't have the courage to lie in the face of Mishima. Wu Jia struggled repeatedly in his shackles, but the more he tried to break free, the tighter he was strangled.

"I'll go to Luoyun Town to find Fang Fan."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to live, I want to live."

As he spoke, Wu Jia actually began to sob, he didn't expect him to be like this. The inner defense line will completely collapse in an instant, the sobbing sound is getting louder and louder, and the driver looks at Wu Jia with strange eyes from the rearview mirror. Fluttershy didn't cry when he died, he didn't cry when he was injected with strange potions by a mysterious man, he didn't cry when he faced the cruel corpse for the first time, and now he cries so hard when he faces the hope of living, his courage is slowly drying up like his life.

"Let's live. With your love for Fluttershy, live bravely. ”

Wu Jia endured the roar in his heart, his hand had already pinched his face, and he couldn't say anything and could only nod vigorously. The driver's eyes switched back and forth between the road ahead and Wu Jia in the rearview mirror, and after a long time, the car stopped at the entrance of Luoyun Town, the driver said.

"Here we are."

Wu Jia said lightly.

"How much?"

"Let's go. Gratis. ”

Wu Jia was taken aback and asked.

"Why?"

"How old are you?"

“25。”

"Your life has just begun, don't give up easily, you still have an unknown future, don't you want to take a look?"

After that, the driver handed Wu Jia a business card, and the driver said.

"Get out of the car, I'm going to take the order, goodbye."

After getting out of the car, Wu Jia looked at the business card and wrote only three words simply, memorist. He put his business card in his pocket and walked towards Falling Cloud Town. The tranquility of the town soothed Wu Jia's heart, although he didn't know what to do next, but at this time he was indeed redeemed. Wu Jia saw someone beckoning to him from a distance, it was Fang Fan. He walked a few quick steps and came to Fang Fan. Fang Fan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Wu Jia was just about to speak, but Fang Fan continued.

"Go home first, and talk about something slowly."

Wu Jia followed Fang Fan to the door of a compound, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Zhang Ze, Jinqiu, Lin Yu and others. Everyone looked at him kindly, but he didn't feel the slightest warmth in his heart, not as good as the cry of a bird in the forest. Lin Yu stepped forward and said.

"It's hard to come from afar."

Wu Jia hummed coldly, Lin Yu's expression froze, and then he smiled awkwardly. Fang Fan glanced at Lin Yu and motioned for him not to mind. Seeing this, Zhang Ze immediately beckoned everyone to avoid, and at this time, only Fang Fan and Wu Jia were left in the courtyard. Fang Fan poured two cups of tea and said.

"What's the matter with me in such a hurry?"

Wu Jia pondered for a moment, and then told Fang Fan about his current situation and the advice that Guo Jianyue gave him. Fang Fan looked at Wu Jia with a frown and said.

"A fountain of souls that will never run dry? You're doing this to renew your life with someone else's life, is that what you want? ”

Wu Jia sneered and said.

"If you were the one standing in front of death right now, would you still ask such a question so easily?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly appeared behind Wu Jia and said.

"He has been through 10,000 times more pain than you."

Wu Jia looked back, and it turned out to be Zhang Ze. He held a sugar cane and nibbled leisurely, his expression relaxed and natural. Wu Jia looked at him with a look full of unhappiness and said.

"We're talking, and we're not asking you."

Hearing this, Fang Fan glanced at Wu Jia. I saw Zhang Ze spread his hands and walked away, talking as he walked.

"A child will never grow up."

"Stop, what did you say?"

Zhang Ze turned around and said unhurriedly.

"I said you're a child, and you'll never grow up."

Wu Jia walked quickly to Zhang Ze, grabbed his collar and said.

"There's a kind of you saying again."

Before the words fell, Fang Fan suddenly shouted.

"Stop."

Wu Jia slowly let go of his hand, and Zhang Ze whispered in his ear.

"The boss is mad, you can cry and beg him not to blame you."

After that, he ran away in a puff of smoke. Wu Jia gritted his teeth with hatred, and Fang Fan walked over and said.

"Zhang Ze is like this, you will understand after a long time. He doesn't have any bad intentions, but he sometimes speaks quite poorly. ”

Originally, Fang Fan thought that Wu Jia was not angry, but he didn't expect him to suddenly turn around and yell at Fang Fan.

"I can't understand my feelings, you normal people, why you can sit back and embrace love, and I have to be tortured after losing love. Why is it not you who are experiencing such a thing, but me, why. Fang Fan, aren't you supernatural? Why are you suing me? ”

Fang Fan let out a long sigh and said.

"What I went through, you didn't experience. And what you're going through, I can't understand either. Only you can help yourself out of this dilemma, and if you only ask for understanding or comfort from others, it only proves that you are not ready to face it. ”

"Looks like I'm looking for the wrong person."

After that, Wu Jia walked outside angrily, Fang Fan wanted to stop him, but suddenly someone held his shoulder. Fang Fan looked back and saw that it was Zhang Ze.

"Forget it, that kid can't listen to what you say now, just let him calm down, and he will definitely come back to you again."

Wu Jia also regretted a little after coming out of Fang Fan's house, he felt that he was indeed a little impulsive just now. But the fire hit his chest, and he couldn't contain it at all. He felt a wave of vertigo, stumbling a few steps and almost falling, a side effect of Revenant's Requiem. Wu Jia sat on the side of the road gasping for air, this symptom has occurred more and more frequently, I don't know if it is the artificial ghost that caused the appetite of Revenant to increase, he must now quickly find the inexhaustible source.

Wu Jia leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the pedestrians on the road looked at him curiously, and then quickened the pace of leaving. Only one person stopped, took out a carton of milk from his bag and handed it to Wu Jia. He opened his eyes and looked at the milk in front of him, and then at the person holding it.

"How are you?"

"I happened to be passing by and saw you pass out on the side of the road. I was afraid that you would be taken away by wild beasts, so I rescued you with righteousness. ”

Wu Jia raised his hand to block the milk and said.

"No, I don't."

"Hey, don't be ignorant, don't thank you, forget it, what kind of attitude do you have with me."

"You insisted on coming over yourself, and I don't know you."

"Why don't you know each other, anyway, let's spend a night together."

"I didn't ask you to stay with me."

After that, Wu Jiatou walked away without looking back. Night falls, and Falling Cloud Town is faster than the night. Wu Jia was wandering around, and now he just wanted to find a place to rest quickly.

"If you follow me again, be careful that I'm not polite to you."

"So what's the point? I've been with you for so long, don't you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? ”

Wu Jia pursed his lips and continued to walk forward, and the voice of speaking came from behind him again.

"Oops."

Wu Jia looked back and found that she had fallen. Sighing, he walked over and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't have to."

"I'll see."

Wu Jia took off her high heels and found that her heels had been worn out, and the soles of her feet were blistered.

"Does it hurt?"

She said with a crying and aggrieved voice.

"What do you say? Walking so fast, and ignoring others, who do you think you are? Men don't have a good thing. ”

Wu Jia helped her rub her feet and said in her mouth.

"You deserve it, who told you to follow me all the time."

As soon as the words fell, she pinched Wu Jia's face hard, and said with tears in her eyes.

"Do you have to be so mean?"

With that, he pushed Wu Jia's hand away, then got up and stepped on his high heels and walked into the distance. Wu Jia shouted.

"Hey, if you leave now, you'll definitely be taken by the beasts, they have already seen your little belly."

Her face flushed, then she turned and walked quickly to him, saying.

"Even if I am eaten and there are only bones left, I don't need your hypocrisy."

Wu Jia spread his hands and said.

"Alright, let's go. Don't cry then. ”

At this time, there was a sudden agitation from the woods, and she hid behind Wu Jia in fear. Seeing her scared look, Wu Jia showed his first smile today. Then he pointed to the ruined temple not far in front of him and said.

"I'm going to spend the night there, are you coming?"

She looked at the ruined temple of the black hole and said.

"Are you sure?"

Wu Jia didn't answer her, turned around and walked towards the broken temple.

"Wait for me."

The two came to the gate of the broken temple, Wu Jia walked in first, and she dragged the corner of Wu Jia's clothes and followed carefully behind. It was only when she walked in that she smelled a strong musty smell that would directly aggravate the sense of repulsion in her heart, she said.

"I just saw a hotel outside, why don't we stay there?"

"I don't have any money."

"I have, I have. I have both cash and cards. ”

"Then you go and live. I'm fine here. ”

She stomped her foot angrily and said.

"Why are you so stubborn? I said there were no people living here. ”

"That's right. So if you want to live outside, I didn't stop you. ”

She hit Wu Jia the back and said.

"You're a stone in a pit, smelly and hard."

Wu Jia didn't take her words seriously, he lit a bonfire next to him, and then cleaned up the clutter in the temple little by little, until he had a place to sleep, he said.

"Please."

She looked at Wu Jia angrily, and her heart was still counting Wu Jia's shortcomings, but the injuries on her tired legs and feet had made her almost unable to stand.

"What? You have to let me hug you? ”

"No, you don't."

After that, she lay upright on the 'bed' that Wu Jia had cleaned up. As soon as I lay down, I smelled a foul and musty smell. She choked on and almost threw up, then bounced off the bed as if she had a spring under her, and complained.

"What's this? Disgusting to death. ”

"Miss, you're so pampered."

Wu Jia said as he took off his coat, laid her out, and said.

"That's okay, right?"

She lay down again, although there was still a smell this time, it was more of the smell on Wu Jia's body, she nodded and said.

"It's so much better than just now."

Wu Jia lay down beside her, her heart was suddenly beating so fast, like a fugitive who was about to escape from prison, and her chest was almost unable to hold that little thing.

"I can't sleep, talk to me."

"Count the sheep, count the stars, count whatever you want, just don't bother me."

"Did you make it of ice?"

Wu Jia rolled to the side and turned his back to her.

"Hey, if you don't say it, you won't say it, who is rare."

At this time, she suddenly heard the sound of something squirming, and then pasted it on Wu Jia's body.

"What are you doing?"

She whispered.

"There's something over there."

"It's nothing, it could be the aborigines here, after all, we are later."

"Let's go and have a look."

Unexpectedly, Wu Jia said immediately.

"No, I'm afraid."

She simply couldn't care about being reserved, and hugged Wu Jia's waist from behind, playing tricks.

"If you don't want to go, I'll hold you like this all the time."

"Hold it. It's still warm. ”

"You... Rogue. ”

"Miss, you posted it, and I didn't force you."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Jia suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind her, and then Wu Jia turned over and blocked in front of her, grabbing the unknown object. The action is fast, and the speed is not enough. Before she could react to what was happening, she was already protected by Wu Jia, and when she reacted, she asked in a low voice.

"What's going on?"

Wu Jia shook the snake in his hand and said.

"Do you want to see it?"

"Ahh

Her screams almost shook off the thick dust that had been building up on the beams of the house for years. Wu Jia covered his ears and looked at her.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Snakes, snakes, there are snakes."

"It's strange that there are no snakes in this place. I'll just say you're not fit to live here, so we can all get a good night's sleep, so you might as well go to a hotel. ”

"Hey, you can rest assured that I will walk to the hotel alone at night this big night? What if you run into a rogue like you along the way? ”

"Don't worry, the hooligans will never do anything to you, they are all afraid of your broken voice."

After the two quarreled a few more words, Wu Jia fell into a deep sleep. Tong Fei looked at him sleeping like a playful big boy, and smiled gently. As for why she's here, it's a few hours ago.

After Tong Fei returned home from the Spring Bar, she kept wondering what Wu Jia said to her at the end. If what Wu Jia did was really to save herself, then her heart would definitely not be steady. She has the righteousness and heroism of northerners in her bones, and she doesn't want to owe anyone affection, let alone a stranger. So she went back to the Spring Flavor Bar, but when she got there, Wu Jia was already gone, and she only saw Mishima.

"I'm looking for the guy from yesterday."

Mishima looked at Tong Fei's harmless appearance and asked.

"Who?"

Tong Fei didn't know how to describe it, so he said.

"It's the guy I bumped into yesterday. Skinny, about this tall, very good-looking, especially like the little fresh meat in the movie. ”

Tong Fei gestured as she spoke, and Mishima already knew who she was talking about. Said.

"He's gone."

"Where did he go? I want to see him. ”

Mishima looked at Tong Fei suspiciously and asked.

"What's your relationship with him?"

This sentence opened Tong Fei's eyes wide. Yes, what is the relationship between yourself and others? Friend? No way, I don't even know what people are called. It's even less likely for couples. Thinking about it, Tong Fei said.

"I hit him yesterday and I'm here today to see how he's doing."

Mishima waved his hand and said.

"He's all right, you can go."

Who knew that Tong Fei's shaft came up, pressed the table, stood on tiptoe, and said.

"I must see him."

The voices of the two of them became louder and louder, and Feng Gu You and Guo Jianyue walked out when they heard the voice, and Guo Jianyue recognized her at a glance and said.

"Why are you here?"

"I want to see him."

"I advise you to stay away from him, he is not an ordinary person."

"I don't care, there are some things I have to ask him face to face."

Yu Toyoya pulled the excited Tong Fei aside. Mishima took the opportunity to ask what had happened yesterday. Guo Jianyue made last night's incident clear to Mishima, Mishima sighed and looked at Tong Fei who was talking to Yu Toyoya.

"Do you like Wu Jia?"

Tong Fei knew Wu Jia's name, but as soon as she heard this question, she was dumbfounded, pondered for a moment, and said.

"How could it be that we met once, although we slept together, it was impossible to like it so easily."

Hearing this, Mishima asked excitedly.

"You slept?"

Tong Fei was taken aback by him, and Yu Toyoya quickly pushed Mishima aside and said.

"You're scared."

Then asked Tong Fei softly.

"Are you really..."

Tong Fei's face flushed and said.

"How is that possible, what do you say? I accidentally knocked him over yesterday and took him to the hospital. In the hospital, I was afraid that he would have any accidents, so I stayed there with him, but I fell asleep. ”

"That's it?"

Tong Fei nodded. Mishima's expression softened, and Toyoya Yu asked.

"And what are you looking for him for?"

"I wanted to ask him face to face what he meant by what he said yesterday."

Toyoya Yu looked at Mishima, and Mishima looked at Guo Jianyue. Guo Jianyue thought to himself that this is to make me this bad guy. Suddenly, Guo Jianyue stood in front of his hair and said.

"Did you see what he had in his hands yesterday?"

"Is that the dark red bracelet?"

"That's right. That thing was actually a parasitic evil spirit, and it would keep devouring Wu Jia's life until it was completely exhausted. But I did a failed experiment before, and it didn't satisfy the appetite of the demon, so the demon did it to you. ”

After that, Guo Jianyue pointed to the marks on his hair and neck. Hair reached out and touched it, and said.

"I thought it was a mosquito bite."

Yu Toyoya smiled, thinking to herself how thick this girl's heart is? Guo Jianyue continued.

"In order to prevent the evil spirit from continuing to infest you, Wu Jia put it into his body again."

Tong Fei pondered for a moment and said.

"So it's all your fault."

Guo Jianyue said with a blank face.

"What does this have to do with me, it's all the demon's fault."

"If your experiment doesn't fail, Wu Jia won't be fine."

"This..."

"Anyway, I'm going to see him."

"Mishima, I'll leave it to you. I'm out of options. ”

Mishima looked at Tong Fei's stubborn appearance, pondered for a moment, and said.

"I'm still that question, do you like him?"

"Why are you all like this? Does this have anything to do with liking or not? ”

"Of course it matters, he became like this for love."

Hearing this, Tong Fei suddenly didn't know what to say. After a while, asked.

"And what about his lover?"

"Dead. He died after giving everything, and now he's probably going to be killed by that thing. So if you like him, don't approach him. Because, that consequence is something you can't afford. ”

Suddenly, Mishima noticed a determined and resolute light in Tong Fei's eyes, and she said.

"I don't like him."
