It wasn't until Zhuo Xuan left the Xinlong Hotel and walked out of the outer commercial street for a long time, the people passing by were talking, laughing and laughing, and the bell tower in the distance rang the bell at eight o'clock at night, that he realized that it was not early. At this moment, Zhuo Xuan's mind was blank, only Wan Hongyu's words were still hovering in his mind, lingering.

Because of the lack of love, I cherish every feeling that arises in my heart...... As a result, this cherishing finally turned into an obsession, so that he could work hard and go to the fire for others.

Is that really the case?

Zhuo Xuan couldn't give an answer, so he simply didn't think about it anymore. At the side of the platform, the bus staggered to a halt, he silently walked up, chose a position by the window, turned his head, and watched the night view of the city outside the window quickly retreat behind him, and for a moment, it suddenly became calm.

Returning to the university town and swiping the entrance control of Tinglin University with the campus card, Zhuo Xuan finally had a sense of steadiness, as if he had returned to his nest, warm and safe. As early as on the way to find Wan Hongyu, Zhuo Xuan and Zhou Xueqiu briefly explained everything, they agreed to meet on the phone, although the time to return to school was later than expected, but Zhuo Xuan decided that Zhou Xueqiu was still waiting for him in the office.

Just as he had just expected, when Zhuo Xuan walked in the corridor, he noticed the light spilling from the crack in the door, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a wry smile, and the echoing footsteps became more and more urgent.

Stopping at the door, Zhuo Xuan twisted the doorknob, and the greeting in his mouth was already ready: "Zhou Xueqiu, I'll be late-"

The unfinished conversation came to an abrupt end, and the long tail note floated through the air. The office wrapped in a dead silence was empty, and there was no trace of Zhou Xueqiu at all.

Zhuo Xuan's heart was furious, and he hesitated into the room, and in a chaotic brain, a strange feeling was about to break free frantically.

"Zhou Xueqiu, are you there?"

Zhuo Xuan felt that at this moment, his heart felt like a storm was brewing, and when the dark clouds dispersed, the brewing wind and rain had to dissipate silently, leaving only a great sense of terror.

It seems that Zhou Xueqiu is not there.

There was no time to turn off the lights, too late to lock the door, it seemed that he should have left in a hurry.

Zhuo Xuan sat in Zhou Xueqiu's place and found that the familiar laptop was still on, and the open web page was stuck in an old news, which made him even more convinced of his guess.

"I can't even close the web page, what's the urgency......"

"The case of the destruction of a single-family house in the suburbs three years ago...... What did he do with all this old news? Zhuo Xuan was puzzled, his body collapsed on the boss's chair, and the feeling of comfort hit his body like electricity, and tiredness came well.

Finally, it's time to rest.

All we have to do now is wait.

Zhuo Xuan thought, his heart was slightly relaxed, his eyes gradually closed, and after a while, he let out a slight snoring sound.

……

Outside the door, in a dark corridor, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped, like the end of the very regular music.

The man was standing in the middle of the aisle, breathing evenly.

It's just that the night is like an abyss, as if it wants to swallow him up.

……

The shuttle runs smoothly on the dirt road leading to the countryside.

It rained last night, and today it is a warm and calm sunny day, which is precious in winter. The mud of the land was slightly smoked by the sun, as if it also had a slight fiery taste, just like Chen Xiaoyong's stirring heart.

He sat in the back seat of the bus, staring out the window at the depressed scenery of the withered leaves, and his gaze became softer and softer.

Went home.

Chen Xiaoyong, who has an extremely vague concept of home, finally made the decision to go home. Last night, after receiving a prompt that the task was completed, he left the Xinlong Hotel alone.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered his grandmother, who had passed away for many years. In the hazy dream, the grandmother who had been absent for a long time seemed to reappear, holding her hand and giving her a strong longing.

As a result, Chen Xiaoyong temporarily forgot all the past about the "Chosen One" or "Beast", and chose to return to his hometown as an ordinary person.

There are still two months to go before the traditional Chinese New Year, and there are not many vehicles on the road. The car drove up the bridge and headed in the direction of the mountain house.

Just when Chen Xiaoyong's thoughts were flying, the body shook violently, which couldn't help but make him frown slightly.

In the direction of the driver, there was constant invective with a dialect accent. In this regard, Chen Xiaoyong did not pay much attention to this, but only roughly understood that there was a problem about sitting on the station.

……

"Why didn't you just stop! I've been on it all, do you know? ”

"I asked if anyone got out of the car, no one was panting, you want to get off now, don't you know if you don't stop on the bridge!"

"Now there's no one on the bridge!"

……

Chen Xiaoyong disdained to ignore the pickled things of the small people in the market.

He opened his mouth wide, yawned, and fell into a deep sleep.

The noise in my ears gradually subsided, and perhaps the quarrel escalated into a brawl......

Wait, brawl?

Chen Xiaoyong opened his eyes violently, but his face was horrified to see that the driver had let go of the steering wheel and scuffled with the quarrelsome woman.

The people in the carriage were still silent, like sculptures that could not speak.

Chen Xiaoyong panicked and got up, but the unfastened seat belt tied him like a rope...... Then, the sky swirled!

The body of the bus slammed into the side of the bridge, making a loud noise, and it crashed towards the river like a meteor.

The railing that had been knocked open twisted as if squeezing out an eerie smile.

……

"Insert an urgent piece of news. Yesterday, a bus from Tinglin City broke through the railing and crashed into the river. Firefighters were alerted and are rushing to the fishing ...... This station will follow up and report for you. ”

I didn't expect that after so many years, the news is still so boring.

casually pressed the power button of the remote control board, Zhang Yunlong, who was sitting on the sofa in the suite, yawned, but his thoughts flew to other places.

Who will complete yesterday's task?

Never mind. To be able to come back to life is the most fortunate thing.

"Brother Long!"

One of the Chosen ones pushed open the door and called.

Zhang Yunlong was indifferent, still fiddling with a few tricks in his hand.

"Brother Long!" The Chosen One came to his side and continued to call.

"Call me?"

Zhang Yunlong slowly raised his head at this time, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Ordinary...... Isn't that what they call you?

The Chosen One had some doubts in his heart, but then he thought of Zhang Yunlong's various quirks, and couldn't help but stop talking, and hurriedly got down to business: "Brother Long, after everyone received the task prompt from the watch yesterday, many of the Chosen ones have already left. That woman has been investigating the whereabouts of those guys since last night, and we don't care? ”

The woman.

Which one?

"Leave her alone."

Zhang Yunlong's reply was very brief, but it seemed to contain an unquestionable power.

Then, without waiting for the other party to raise any questions, Zhang Yunlong waved his hand and motioned for the Chosen One to leave.

Although this Chosen One was very confused in his heart, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Yunlong's instructions. has been by Zhang Yunlong's side for a long time, and he has become accustomed to all kinds of strange behaviors of the other party.

However, today I always feel that something is wrong.

What went wrong?

The Chosen One's gaze naturally shifted to Zhang Yunlong, but in an instant, that worry vanished.

With such a powerful Chosen One as Brother Long, it's too unfounded.

He nodded, withdrew his gaze, and silently stepped back.
