Chapter 3: Childhood Dreams
The setting sun casts a golden glow on the earth, and the whole city is covered with a golden veil like cicada wings, and the earth is covered with mystery.
In one of the tallest buildings in the city.
"It's confirmed that it's him now, but the memory seems to have been tampered with and is still deteriorating, so what should I do next, Mr. Karin?"
The boy lazily put his hand on his cheek and asked the blonde woman across the table.
A month ago, Karin stumbled upon a teenager living in District 7 while chasing a defector.
When she saw him for the first time, Karin felt a storm in her heart. She never dreamed that she would meet someone who was already dead here. She wanted to check it out, but gave up because of the mission.
During this time, Karin had been silently watching him, and it was only today that the shadow and the ability to warp time and space were seen to confirm Yichen's identity. But she couldn't be happier.
"Take your time, I don't know what is affecting his memory."
Karin answered the boy's question as she picked up her teacup with a noble and graceful gesture to swap her overlapping feet up and down. There was a hint of remorse in her eyes.
The boy frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a moment asked, "Teacher Karin, is it really useful to expect that guy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy suddenly coughed violently, and a stream of fishy black blood spit out of his mouth along with phlegm.
"Haitian, are you okay?" Karin woke up from her fantasy and hurriedly ran over to help Haitian up and comforted, "Was it the injury you suffered during the battle with that little girl?"
Haitian hummed softly, recalling the scene of the battle with the out-of-control Yan Xuan, and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
I thought to myself, if it wasn't for the woman who caught him, I would never provoke that madman.
Although the madman usually looks as cute as the little sister next door, when he gets out of control, he looks like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.
"You go back first, remember! Never tell Bai Yu that madman about me looking for you, as well as Bai Xi's name. ”
At the mention of Bai Yu's madman, Karin's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of worry in her red pupils.
Haitian squatted on the ground, and a unique feminine body fragrance came to his face. As an adolescent teenager, he couldn't keep his composure, so he quickly pushed Karin's hand away from his waist, and hurriedly agreed and ran out.
"This little guy is really funny." Karin took a sip of her teacup, looked at the bustling city outside the window, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "At that time, you were as interesting as him." ”
…………
Early the next morning.
The rain had stopped, and the gentle sunlight was shining on Yichen's cheeks. He squatted on the ground, looking left and right with glazed eyes, "This is the ...... Where? ”
He had forgotten everything that had happened here yesterday, only bits and pieces flashed through his mind.
"My home!"
Yichen staggered towards the small two-story bungalow that had become a ruin, the pain once again invaded his body, but he didn't care at all, only he was anxiously rummaging through the ruins.
Half an hour later
The wrinkled hands that had been soaked in water were scarred by the friction between them and the stones.
He didn't know why he was doing this, he didn't know what he was looking for, he just felt that something very precious was missing.
The sun shone on an ice crystal pendant, emitting a dazzling light, and Yi Chen happily picked up the ice crystal and carefully held it in his arms.
"Why do I feel so heartbroken?"
Tears dripped from Yi Chen's dirty cheeks and fell to the ground, he didn't know why he was crying, and he had even forgotten who gave it to him.
Tears dripped on an old photo, and Yichen put the pendant around his neck and gently wiped the old photo. Looking at the two blurry figures on the old photos, a picture appeared in Yi Chen's mind again.
…………
"Mom, why should I go to the academy?" The little boy, shaking his head, looked at the woman in front of him and spoke.
The little boy seemed to be only about five years old, wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon cat on it, and his little blue eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.
The woman gently stroked the little boy's brain and asked in a gentle tone, "Then do you know the significance of our existence here?"
"Hehe, of course!" The little boy broke free from the woman's palm and said in the form of a little adult: "To save the world!"
The woman was amused by his words, and gently tapped his little head melon and said, "Little fool, have you forgotten so quickly?"
"Slightly, of course not." The little boy grimaced mischievously and said again: "It's to protect, to protect those who don't have special abilities."
"Ahem, a thousand years ago, Blue Star,"
"Our ancestors suddenly gained super powers, and..., then..., I forgot." The little boy scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
The woman looked at the little boy dotingly and said, "Then I'll tell you again, you have to remember it this time."
The little boy nodded vigorously, indicating that he would definitely remember.
"On a normal night, the people living on the blue star suddenly had a strange change in their bodies."
"I know, I know!"
The little boy exclaimed excitedly, "They have gained abilities, just like me." As he spoke, an illusory black shadow split from his body.
Thousands of years ago, people who gained great power went from bullying the weak at the beginning to waging war on the Blue Star.
The war swept across the Blue Star, littering the corpses of dead people. The desperate cries of the people were particularly piercing in the blood-soaked air.
In the midst of the crisis, a man named Shadow Moon stepped forward, and his appearance changed the outcome of the Blue Star's demise.
Shadow Moon first organized a group of young people who were persecuted by the war and taught them a powerful ability to fight against the Anomalous - magic.
After two years of brutal warfare, the Adeptus chose to surrender, and the war was won by the mages led by Shadow Moon.
Under the management of Shadow Moon, the Adepts and the Magicians let go of the hatred in their hearts and worked together to repair the shattered Blue Star.
However, just ten years after the people had spent a happy time, monsters from another world invaded this wonderful place.
The monsters were humanoid, extremely large, and had two pairs of sharp horns on their heads. Murderous appearances and sharp teeth wreak havoc on this beautiful world.
In order to stop the invasion of those monsters, God led millions of supernatural people and magicians to wage an extremely brutal battle against monsters.
Eventually, the gods, 10,000 supernatural and magicians forced the monsters back into their world at the cost of their lives.
In order to prevent the monsters from invading again, the god used the last of his strength to establish the city, Moon Shadow, at the entrance of the passage between the two worlds. And it is stipulated that all people who have obtained the ability must protect the ordinary people of Blue Star in this city.
"Haha, I'm the next god! I'm going to save the world! The little boy laughed, his tone full of confidence.
This time, the woman did not contradict the little boy, but encouraged him in an appreciative tone.
This is where the picture stops.
Yichen slowly stood up with the old photo in his hand, walking like a walking corpse in the ruins.
Suddenly he began to laugh maniacally, tears glistening in his empty eyes. A puff of black smoke emanated from his body and spread in all directions.
Everywhere he touched the smoke turned into a puddle of sewage, he raised his head and roared, venting the negative emotions in his heart.
At this moment, the pendant on his chest emitted a faint light, and after a moment, the smoke around him disappeared, and his pupils gradually changed back to their original shapes.
Yichen collapsed weakly on the ground, and at this moment, he remembered the appearance of those teenagers and girls, and what had happened over the years.
Tears welled up in his eyes, "Bai Xi, Karin, everyone, I'm sorry. Yichen curled up, hugged the old photo and pendant tightly in his arms and muttered.
