In the dead of night, Li Boan and Alya sat side by side under the stars.

It's really rare to get along quietly like this.

The troubles of the past are gone, and Arya's words have become more.

"Brother, do you know what constellation it is?" Arya asked, pointing to the sea of artificial stars in the sky.

The brilliant sea of stars is carved into the sky curtain, and at night, as long as it is sunny, everyone can look up and see them.

Li Boan's brain is still recovering, so he really can't remember it for a while.

"I ...... I seem to remember...... But I can't name it...... emmm…… Let me think...... Isn't it some kind of bird? ”

Arya smiled, "It's the Throne, the closest constellation to the Throne, I heard that there may be our compatriots there." ”

Li Boan was a little unconvinced when he heard this: "Really? Then why didn't they come to the door? ”

Arya smiled even more happily: "You should be between neighbors, just a few steps away, although the constellation is closest to me, but in fact, the closest star to us in the constellation is more than five million light years, think about it, how far away it is." ”

Li Boan suddenly lay down when he heard this, he looked at the starry sky intently, and said, "Yes...... More than 5 million light-years ...... It's out of reach. ”

Arya heard the depression in Li Boan's tone, so she also lay down, next to Li Boan.

"Brother...... Why do you say, the Supreme Bill always prohibit any research and development of space navigation? Didn't we get here thousands of years ago through the Quantum Voyager-class mothership? The starry sky is so beautiful...... Why don't I go and check it out? Arya's questions began to evolve.

Li Boan also had this kind of thinking when he was very young.

It's a pity that no one will listen to him at that time, and no one will give him an answer.

Until Li Boan joined the homecoming program...... Only finally until the truth in it.

"Do you know the laws of the Dark Forest?" Li Boan asked.

Alia frowned, she turned her head sideways and looked at Li Boan with her head in her hands and said, "I know, but it's just a space voyage, it's not that exaggerated, right?" ”

Li Boan smiled slightly: "I think so too...... Although the Dark Forest Laws sound reasonable, they always give people a sense of retreat...... I haven't experienced it yet, so I'm afraid of being like this...... Ay...... Maybe we ordinary people are ignorant and fearless......"

Arya also smiled when she heard Li Boan's words, but her smile was a faint wry smile.

Because Arya knew what Lin Sen and Lin Yan were doing...... She also asked Lin Yan similar questions, but the answers Lin Yan gave were even more cruel than this.

Human beings are "cocooned and self-bound" not because of cowardice, let alone because they have comprehended the laws of the dark forest...... But...... Because this starry sky has long ceased to belong to humans.

Arya didn't tell Li Boan these words, because she didn't understand the deep meaning either, but when she got this answer, from Lin Yan's eyes, Arya saw an empty confusion.

"Well, the topic seems to be heavy again, huh...... I really want to go back to when I was a kid! Arya lay back on the lawn, her eyes closed and she sighed deeply.

"As a child? Hehe...... Oh, yes...... I think I was very comfortable when I was young, but I didn't expect that when I grew up, I would lose the strength to laugh. Li Boan also sighed.

Arya snorted: "Brother, were you the king of children when you were a child?" ”

"The Kid King?"

"The one who took the lead in the mischievous group of kids?!"

Li Boan recalled for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, I was actually quite well-behaved when I was a child. ”

"Hey??!? Really? ”

"Of course it's true, and it's good now." Li Boan said frowning, he always felt weird, maybe the word "obedient" is really a bit inappropriate to use on him now.

Arya also found out, she laughed, and then her little hand restlessly pointed at Li Bo's reassuring mouth: "Why didn't I see it?" Kindness? Would you like me to verify it? ”

As he spoke, the little hand was about to make a gesture and go down.

Li Boan, who knew Alia's temper well, naturally grabbed the little hand even though her brain was currently damaged, and gently kissed her on the forehead when Arya pouted.

"Good way~"

Arya gave up, and then she looked at the stars and remembered her childhood.

"When I used to have my brothers and sisters, the whole family didn't expect anything from me, and I was happy, at that time, I ran to Sister Yan's house all day long, and often lived for a few months, or even half a year, at that time, I felt that Sister Yan, Brother Sen and Xue'er were my relatives...... Can ...... now My brother and sister are gone...... My father has also been missing for many years...... I'm the only one left in the whole of the Stevens......" Arya reminisced about the past, but as she spoke, the fleeting beauty was gone, and all that was left was helplessness and bitterness.

"After the fall of Cerberus...... Even Sister Yan and Brother Sen have basically cut off contact...... Elder brother...... You said...... What exactly are we holding onto? Or rather...... What exactly am I holding onto? ”

Li Boan listened carefully, but he was not brought into it, and he did not feel Arya's distress at all.

Because Li Boan has been alone since he was very young.

Family...... Family affection has always been strange to him.

Until now, Li Boan, who chose to escape in the face of feelings, has more of Alia, the titular sister, and he is still the same.

So after a long time, Li Boan could only say the answer in his heart.

"Maybe it takes more courage to live than to die, we are all the kind of people who don't admit defeat, so ...... I can't give up for the time being. ”

Lee's answer was mediocre for Arya.

In fact, Arya didn't need an answer, she had been so insistent for another reason.

She just wanted to vent her inner emotions...... And after venting, she understood everything.

The two lay on the lawn and stopped talking.

After a long time, Arya asked again: "Brother, if you really found the mastermind behind the scenes, would you kill him?" ”

Without answering, Li Boan closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

"Brother?" Arya sat up and looked at Li Boan, who was breathing extremely peacefully, she slowly withdrew her gaze, and then activated the sleep mode.

In the blink of an eye, the lawn was covered with a curtain structure.

Alia kissed Li Boan lightly on the lips, and then quietly left.

But as soon as she left, Li Boan opened her eyes......

He didn't fall asleep...... Regarding Alia's question, he also heard it clearly, but Li Boan didn't give the answer so neatly.

Because in Li Boan's heart, finding out the mastermind behind the scenes and then killing this kind of revenge drama is too child's play in front of the problems he has to face...... It's about the rebellion of five years ago...... Li Boan knew that the reality he was about to face was much more complicated than he had imagined.

In five years, Li Boan has changed a lot.

From the first killing machine, to the later decadent drunkard, to the loss of many partners to be met alone by the highest arbitration executive.

Li Boan only now knows what he wants to do.

……

On December 7, 114, the snow-covered Aruber was about to celebrate the Winter Veil Festival.

Li Boan, who was overly drunk that day, was stuffed into the trunk as soon as he woke up, and when he sat down in a daze, he had already come to an antique bamboo house.

The owner of the bamboo hut sat less than two meters away from Li Boan.

It was already a bit vulgar to describe her, because the moment Li Boan saw her, he began to wonder if he was dead......

Otherwise...... How can there be such a beautiful person in the world???

The style between the smiles and smiles is fascinating...... Even Li Boan, who was full of resentment and decadence in his heart, almost lost his mind.

Fortunately, when the woman saw Li Bo'an waking up, she picked up the white fox mask on the side and put it on.

With this mask, Li Boan finally relieved himself, and then couldn't help but sigh that the world was wonderful, he didn't expect that after so much cruelty, he would one day be easily defeated by a woman's beauty.

"You're Li Bo'an?" The woman's voice was also covered with a mask that was unreal, but it was still clear and ethereal, and it sounded very pleasant.

Li Boan nodded, and then asked, "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

The woman replied, "This is the upper level of Arno's Heart, and I ...... It's called Dongfang Ruo. ”

The upper ?!!!!! of Arno's Heart Oriental Ruo !!??

Although I haven't seen him, I often hear his name Dongfang Ruo?!

Li Boan was shocked...... Quickly sat up straight, and hurriedly straightened his hair.

But the hair hasn't been washed for a long time, and it's still like a chicken nest after tinkering a few times.

Dongfang Ruo smiled: "Don't be so restrained, there is no one else here." ”

Li Bo'an felt a little relieved when he heard this, but he was still very embarrassed, he looked around, and after confirming that he was in the third queen, he looked at Dongfang Ruo seriously.

Dongfang Ruo is also looking at him, looking at every detail of him.

From the man's awakening, to his composure in stabilizing his mind, as well as his observation of Dongfang Ruo's words and expressions after hearing about Dongfang Ruo's identity, and his keen insight into the environment, Dongfang Ruo nodded secretly.

This person is indeed what she is looking for, and it is indeed as Sister Yan said...... It's a talent that can be made.

"Any idea what I'm asking you to do today? If you guess it right, the things you did last month against the rules will be written off. Dongfang Ruo also likes to sell Guanzi, but her tone is much more playful.

Li Boan was stunned when he heard this, and then asked back: "Can you give me some hints?" ”

Dongfang Ruo nodded, and pushed a cup of Yinghua tea in front of Li Boan.

Li Boan looked down and saw that this cup was very exquisite, although the shape was simple, it gave people a very special beauty in terms of details and arc.

But on the other hand, the tea in the cup looks too ordinary.

It was slightly cloudy, and the flowers were not of the highest quality, the mutilated petals were as if they had been soaked many times, and the flickering fluorescence was no longer so charming, leaving only a faint, gossamer-like trembling.

Looking at it, Li Boan's brows locked.

Because he didn't see anything to do with it...... So it's impossible to guess what this cup of tea means......
