Chapter 195: Funeral Song (Part II) (Subscription Requested)
At the age of six, Andrew attended his mother's funeral.
Before that, he had seen his mother being pushed down the stairs and lying in a pool of blood.
On that day, the mother wore a cream-colored cotton dress that the aristocracy did not like so much, like the stamen of a blooming red thorn rose.
As the thorn rose slowly and slowly bloomed, her skirt also turned red, and it seemed that her whole body melted into this blood red.
"Andrew." She seemed to want to call him, but she just kept her eyes open and didn't shout anything.
So what was she thinking? In the moments before dying.
Andrew has always been curious about this question, and then this question has been extended to what he will think about the moment he is dying?
What do you think? His brain seemed to be blank, and he only saw Tang Ling's cold eyes, and even the pain of his fist hitting his body was numb.
Yes, why is Tang Ling so powerful? What would be his place on that list known as 'Lullaby of Terror'?
"This punch was given to you for Vivian." In the rain, Tang Ling's fist brought up a strong wind, blowing away a piece of rain and hitting Andrew directly in the chest.
'Poof', Andrew spat out a mouthful of blood, there seemed to be internal organ fragments or something, it didn't matter.
He had done his best, and he did not desecrate his last battle because of mortality, but if he can't be defeated, he can't be defeated, and some things can't be changed by will.
Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Andrew stood up reluctantly, staring at Tang Ling and smiling.
Should he be grateful to Tang Ling? gave himself a relatively honorable way to die, instead of being oppressed and self-judged, or quietly executed in a dark cell.
"This punch is for you, Amir." Tang Ling rushed towards Andrew, and the punch hit Andrew directly in the jaw, and the sound of bone cracking was so harsh.
When the name Amir came out of his mouth, Tang Ling's heart stinged.
In the end, do you still want to seek justice for him?
'Whew', Andrew felt a little difficult to breathe, and his jaw was cracked or something, right? If it were Henk, he would pay so much attention to his image, and would rather die than have his jaw cracked, right? Will he be able to dodge the punch?
Yes.
"Huh." That year, it was four years old, Andrew shouted, punched Henk, he was serious, he wanted to subdue Henk, he wanted to be a big brother.
But Henk, the guy who pouted and cried at any moment, and who timidly liked to follow behind a group of aristocratic children at any time, cried and avoided.
He seemed to be bullied, but in fact Andrew was even more aggrieved, he didn't even punch him.
Tired and stopped fighting, Andrew turned around and left.
Henk, with his unwiped snot, followed behind Andrew.
"Why are you following me?" Andrew actually has nowhere to go, family gatherings, he and his mother are not eligible to participate, and often at this time, his mother will be very sad, he does not want to go home and see his mother's sad eyes.
"You're not really going to hit me." Henk said timidly, as the son of a small nobleman, especially the son of a new little nobleman, he still got this title because of his father's sacrifice.
Henk is actually separated from this circle by a moat, and it is the norm to be bullied.
"Huh?" Andrew was stunned, he clearly couldn't hit, okay?
But at that moment, Henk's serious and helpless eyes seemed to touch him, and Andrew involuntarily reached out his hand, touched his head, and said, "Okay, then follow me." I will take care of you like a brother. ”
How many years has this one been?
Andrew couldn't calculate a little, but he felt that Tang Ling grabbed his collar, and 'Peng' punched him again, directly in the abdomen.
"This punch is given to you for the Raptors." Tang Ling's heart was tumbling with sadness.
The Cliff of Hope was right in front of them, and on that hot afternoon the day before, they had stood side by side on the edge of the Cliff of Hope.
That image is like the imprint of life, seared into the soul.
It wasn't until today that Tang Ling felt what it meant to be young at that time, and ironically how high-spirited he was at that time, and how broken he was at this time.
In the same way, Andrew was almost unable to see what was in front of him.
Do you give the Raptors a punch to themselves? Well, well, very good, I've had a squad myself, the best squad, the pinnacle squad.
"Andrew, I've been assessed, and I'm the first in the overall score." At the top of the Cliff of Hope, Henk's blonde hair shone with a tiny glow, as dazzling as the badge on his chest.
"Isn't that how it should be?" With an indifferent smile, Andrew entered the first reserve camp, and then became a Purple Moon Warrior, dreaming that he could finally set sail from this time.
If he becomes a powerful Purple Moon Warrior with Genk or more powerful teammates by his side, he can finally get rid of the damned Onse family, right?
"Yes, I'll always be there for you." Henk smiled, his lips red and his teeth white, and his green eyes charming.
"Well, beside me, accompany me to the top of the first reserve camp." Andrew smiled as well and couldn't help but hug Henk.
At that time, how high-spirited?
And then what? And then there was Deere. Godin, with Emma... Eventually, there was the Summit Squad.
It's all over, right?
It's over, and Andrew can feel that life is passing quickly, and he can't stop it.
I wonder why that Amir was able to hold on for so long? This kind of breath of life with heat, when it is far away, how helpless and powerless...
In addition, there is a kind of sweet peace, as if the best picture of all life has become clear, and people want to embrac death impatiently.
So, how hard is it to hold up?
Andrew raised his eyelids with difficulty, and he could see Tang Ling's face in the blur, with black hair and black eyes, delicate and clean, it seemed that there would always be a trace of shyness and a trace of melancholy, but it was more of a convincing sense of strength and a sense of reassuring trust.
It's hard to believe that such a feeling can appear on such a face.
But his eyes are red, does he want to cry too?
"I gave you this punch for myself. You have destroyed the dream in my heart that I wanted to keep for at least ten years. Tang Ling lifted Andrew, who was already weak, and hit Andrew with his last knee...
Well, there's no way to support it.
At this moment, the last breath of life is like ushering in a pair of wind-cast hands, and those hands gently take away the warm vitality.
Andrew's eyes began to drift, and Tang Ling's eyes began to blur.
"Andrew, what do you think we will be like in ten years?" Lying on the lawn of the forest in the sun, Henk suddenly asked.
"Ten years? Of course, we are to become the Purple Moon Warriors. Andrew replied as a matter of course.
"I don't mean that, I mean, do you think you're going to have a wife and have children?" In this era, even the aristocracy must shoulder the heavy responsibility of increasing the population of mankind, and marry late? Not married? That is not in line with the requirements of a nobleman.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe there will be, but what about you? "Andrew doesn't have much interest in this kind of thing.
"Me? No, it won't. Henk tilted his head, his face was a little serious, and then he said a little shyly: "I think the meaning of my life is to be by your side, to see you reach the top, and to achieve the wishes you want to achieve." I will be their sister to your wife, and if you have children, I will be their other father. ”
As he spoke, Henk turned his head to look at Andrew and smiled, with the afternoon sun behind him, it was rare that it was not so hot.
"Hehe, what are you talking about?" Andrew made a 'gurgling' sound in his throat, and only he knew what he wanted to say at this moment?
But he didn't have to say it, he seemed to see his mother coming to pick him up at this moment.
"Come here, little Andrew, look, why is your face so dirty? And bleeding? Are you fighting with people again? ”
"Mom." A smile tugged at the corners of Andrew's mouth.
"What a naughty little guy. Let's go, let's go home, today Mom made a stew..."
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go home." Andrew exhaled his last breath, in front of him was his mother's warm embrace, and in the back should be the back of Henk's departure.
Don't look back and let him forget about me.
"Ahh
In your ears, don't you want to reverberate that song that you can't forget?
"I will not forget the promise with you at the end of summer"
"And dreams and greatest wishes for the future"
Tang Ling stretched out his hand with blurred eyes, and broke Andrew's neck with a 'snap', no matter how many reasons there are, no matter what he is confessing in the end, he can't get back what some people have lost, such as Vivian.
As a result, his body cannot be respected, and his head must be used in Vivian's honor.
"I believe we will see each other in late summer in ten years' time"
"I still have the best memories at that time"
With a 'snap', Andrew's head was placed next to Vivian, who was very peaceful, as if she could open her eyes in the next second and sing in her sweet voice.
"I met you in a casual moment"
The rain had gradually fallen silently, and Christina squatted on the ground, hugging Andy, crying so that her eyes were numb.
Andy looked at Tang Ling helplessly, he wanted to say, Tang Ling, is there a way to bring them back to life?
Auston sat dumbfounded, beside Amir's already cold body, no matter what, Auston couldn't bear to soothe his eyes.
Yu stood still, he seemed to have lost the ability to speak again, will he become stammering again in the future?
The audience was silent.
This challenge has come to this moment, and this is how it turned out? A scoundrel-like boy of the First Reserve Battalion, in front of everyone, played a mournful funeral song for his companions.
"Ah, the fireworks are blooming in the night sky, inexplicably sentimental"
"Ahh
You can't go back to the past, can you? It's a bit sad.
"Do you want to keep trying?" An impatient Purple Moon warrior who had been waiting on the side for a long time looked at Tang Ling, whose eyes were red.
Tang Ling glanced at Andrew's head and shook his head slightly.
"Then I officially announce the arrest of Tang Ling. He is suspected of stealing important supplies from Security Zone 17 - advanced cell repair agents. As he spoke, the Purple Moon warrior walked quickly into the ring.
At this time, Yu, who had been silent, suddenly rushed up and blocked in front of Tang Ling, followed by Auston, Christina, Andy...
"Which of you dares? If you want to arrest Tang Ling today, you must first go over my corpse, I am Yu of the Yufeng family. "It's shameful to use the reputation of the family, but what does it matter if the reputation of the family is used at this time.
Tang Ling had already done this for the sake of his dead partner, what reason was there not to be with him at this time?
"I'm Auston of House Godin. I'm not going to get out of the way. Auston stood behind Tang Ling.
"I'm Christina from House Brad, and you don't want to take our buddies." Christina blocked Tang Ling's left side.
"I'm Andy, I'm not a nobleman. I just have such a life to protect my companions. Andy blocked Tang Ling's right side.
They surrounded Tang Ling tightly.
A group of people rushed towards this side silently and anxiously, and in the mocking smiles of Abel and Cockeline, one of them, who seemed to be very powerful, rushed through the crowd and rushed into the ring in an instant.
He grabbed Yu's shoulder and said loudly, "Yu, from today onwards, you withdraw from the first reserve camp, this is the family's decision. ”
"Auston, I hope the ramparts aren't a place for you to be willful, so you're not fit to stay here! Come back with me, it's the family's order. Another man rushed to the ring at this time, with a tattoo of the Godin family sun on the left side of his neck.
"Tina, grandfather asked me to take you back. He thinks that you are not a girl who is suitable to stay in the barracks and grow up after all. At the same time, another man walked up to the ring and grabbed Christina.
Andy was a little confused and helpless, when he saw his mother running anxiously towards this side: "Andy, you come down, come down!" Mom thinks you should go back and work with us, and don't be a soldier. ”
"No, uncle!" Yu wanted to struggle, but was firmly controlled by the man he called his uncle.
"Big brother, you're insulting me, insulting me, you know?" Alston hit him directly, but was knocked to the ground with a punch from the man he called Big Brother.
"Please, please, cousin, you can't—" Christina pleaded in disbelief, tears, but the person she called her cousin just shook her head silently.
"Mom, Mom, go back, go back." Andy crouched on the ground, crying.
"I beg you, son." Andy's mother fell to her knees in the ring, and she was too frightened to run to the ring.
They had been given an urgent notice to arrive here, and the scene had been silently announced as to who was the real owner of Security Zone 17.
Maybe everyone in the Raptors team has feelings for Tang Ling, but their family is not, they still have to live and survive, and it is impossible to gamble everything against the Anse family in order to protect Tang Ling.
Cow Klein whispered in Albert's ear, "Look, there are things that you don't have to do yourself. Here's the power of power! You have to know how to use it, you know? Exploit! ”
"Yes, Patriarch." Abel seemed to have forgotten the humiliation just now, and an elegant smile resurfaced on his face, yes, even if everyone knew that it was him Abel who did it? Does anyone dare to say anything? Does anyone dare to stop anything?
Tang Ling never said anything, and his mind was still echoing with the song that seemed to be unable to disperse.
His hand lightly rested on Yu's shoulder, and said to Vivian's corpse in front of him, "Say goodbye, let's go." ”
"Tang Ling..."Yu turned his head, and everyone looked at Tang Ling in disbelief.
Tang Ling took a deep breath, looked at the Purple Moon Warrior who was about to arrest him and said, "Don't you mind if I send my final goodbye to my partner, right?" ”
"Then, I'll go with you." Tang Ling didn't have any look of concern in his eyes at all, the arrest was expected.
The bitter hatred has not been exhausted, how can he leave so easily?
"Tang Ling!" Alston shouted.
"Listen to me." Tang Ling pulled up Andy, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "We, now say goodbye to Vivian." ”
Everyone in the Raptors squad was speechless, and they could see that Tang Ling's persistence could not be shaken.
Perhaps, it was also this unshakable will that the Raptors family members let go of their hands, and Andy's mother also stood up crying.
In the rain, five people stood side by side, and it was a little unaccustomed to the absence of two people, but it didn't matter, in the rain, Christina hummed the song softly.
"I believe we will see each other in late summer in ten years' time"
Holding back tears, I smiled and said goodbye.
"It's a little sad, but I have the best memories."
As is customary in Safe Zone 17, the dead are miserable enough when they are alive, and happiness is far away in this era.
So, when you leave, have a gentle song to accompany you with a goodbye, and even if you don't, hum a gentle tune... But at this time, what could be more appropriate than this song?
For Vivian, although her heart is full of regrets, but also for Amir.
The song slowly ended, and all five of them bowed at the same time: "Goodbye, Vivian." ”
"Goodbye, Amir."
Tang Ling stood up straight, looked at the people of the Raptors team, and said, "Bury them well." I'll come back to see them in 10 years. ”
"You..." The four of them looked at Tang Ling in unison.
"Don't forget." Tang Ling didn't look back, only said these four words, and walked straight to the Purple Moon Warrior, stretched out his hands, and a pair of shackles that he didn't know when was ready were handed to the Purple Moon Warrior's hands, and he gave Tang Ling the handcuffs with a merciless 'snap'.
Tang Ling slowly walked out of the ring, but when he passed by the horn, he suddenly picked up the horn and looked at Eber.
"You really won't regret arresting me? Eber? ”
"No, you won't regret it, because you're a stupid X from start to finish! You even lost the game against Andrew, what qualifications do you have to play against me? ”
"If I were a member of the Anse family, I would think that Andrew would be more suitable to inherit the Anse family, rather than you stupid X, and let the family wipe your ass for you! But alas, Andrew is also dead, I killed it with my own hands. ”
Tang Ling's speed of speech was very fast, but it was better for everyone to hear these words clearly, and a few stupid X's in a row, making some people want to laugh inexplicably.
Abel endured it hard, and finally couldn't help but shout loudly: "Why don't you bring this thief down to me?" ”
Tang Ling sneered and followed the Purple Moon Warrior away, as if intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the Hope Cliff.
On the hill at a certain distance from the ruins battlefield, Su Yao stretched his waist, turned off the communicator, and said to the man next to him: "Let's go, the big drama is over, let's get ready to work, just tonight." ”
