Chapter 153: Su Bing'er's Past
"Come in." As soon as we arrived at the door, Zhuang Lao's voice came from inside the door, and we pushed the door and walked in.
Zhuang Lao was still sitting there working on the papers, but this time he seemed to be much older than before, as if he had been sitting at his desk all the time he had been sitting at his desk, wearing glasses, and dealing with the stacks of papers.
Speaking of which, did Zhuang Lao wear glasses before?
Listening to Xiao Lao, Zhuang Lao seems to be an idle person, and he generally leaves the affairs of the city to his subordinates, which can be seen from the fact that Zhuang Lao was not seen at all in the Nine Star Academy, but now he seems to have imprisoned himself, dealing with the affairs of the alliance every day. The reason for this is because of the previous alien invasion.
Although the alliance was prepared, it was still too hasty to deal with it, no one expected that the other party's strength would be so strong, and the protective shield of the City of Truth would be shattered directly without even resisting it. Those guys invaded the city, causing the death of a tenth of the lives of the entire City of Truth, and although it was considered a successful escape now, the desk was filled with the business that needed to be dealt with after the disaster.
The consolation of the dead and wounded, the expansion of the city, the economic recovery, the transportation of resources, and even the rebellion and distrust of the alliance, all kinds of things piled up, and at this time it was necessary to solve it alone, and this responsibility naturally fell on the head of Zhuang Lao.
Zhuang Lao didn't look up, but kept reviewing the various applications of the alliance one by one, and I also asked Xiao Lao before, why Zhuang Lao didn't use the power of technology to assist in these alliance affairs, in that case, it should be a lot easier.
Xiao Lao said that he used a pen to personally correct the project, one is safe, and the other is because this is the tradition of the alliance, he also advised Zhuang Lao, but Zhuang Lao just shook his head, this old man who is very strong and responsible in all aspects, only behaves very stubbornly in this kind of thing.

After waiting for a while and seeing that we didn't respond, Zhuang Lao looked up at us, "What's the matter, children, what's wrong?" Zhuang Lao asked.
It's still Ning Xinyan, basically as long as it involves something similar that needs to be communicated, Ning Xinyan stepped forward as a representative, "Elder Zhuang, take a look at this." As he spoke, Ning Xinyan projected the task information received on the quantum communication device and put it in front of Zhuang Lao.
Zhuang Lao looked intently, and after just a few lines, he noticed that something was wrong, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Just yesterday, several of us received a mission to go to this small world called Erwin to retrieve a sword, but as you can see, there is no reward for this task, and there is no explanation of who should give it to after retrieving this sword, and there is no other information."
"And most importantly, this task itself was not taken by us, it was Bing'er who received this task first, and then the rest of us also received it."
Speaking of Su Bing'er, I subconsciously glanced at her, Su Bing'er didn't know why at this time, her face seemed to be a little ugly, and her eyes were full of complex emotions.
"Hmm......" Zhuang Lao pondered for a moment, Gao Han hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Could it be that those people before wanted to take revenge and set a trap?" ”
Zhuang Lao shook his head, "It's unlikely, the method of going to the small world is the top secret of the alliance, and very few people know about it, and even if they do."
There must be a large device for jumping, not to mention ordinary people, even top controllers can't build it. ”
"And ......" Zhuang Lao looked at Su Bing'er and paused, "This seems to be too much of a coincidence." ”
"What does that mean?" I asked, listening to what Zhuang Lao said, coupled with Su Bing'er's reaction just now, it was obvious that he knew something.
Ning Xinyan looked at Su Bing'er and handed over a confirmed look, Su Bing'er hesitated for a moment but nodded slightly, and then Ning Xinyan said: "This Erwen world is actually the world that Bing'er has been to. ”
Hearing Ning Xinyan say this, I understood. The word "once been" here does not refer to the mission that he once went there, but refers to the Elwin world, which is the place that Su Bing'er once saved and left from. With Su Bing'er's current age, it can be seen that when she cleared that world, the small world should have been polluted by despair, so if she said it, she would probably have experienced something similar to me.
Looking at Su Bing'er, I couldn't help but have a trace of pity in my eyes, although maybe she didn't bear as much as I did in Tisbor, but even so, this is really a bit cruel for a little girl.
"Anyway, put this matter aside for a while, I'll give you an answer tomorrow, I need to ask other people's opinions, I remember that the Erwin world should be a fantasy world, there are magic and the like in it, I don't know much about it, you can go back first today."
Saying goodbye to Zhuang Lao, we went all the way back to Gao Han's home, on the way Su Bing'er seemed to be thinking about something, kept her head down, and sometimes showed a look in her eyes as if she had made up her mind, but then it would be replaced by a look similar to fear, and then return to normal again.
Because I am close, I have captured all these changes in Su Bing'er, this emotion looks like I am afraid of something, I want to face it but I dare not face it, a bit like my former self.
A few of us sat together, and our eyes involuntarily turned to Su Bing'er, even Ning Xinyan, who had always been to Su Bing'er, was no exception, the mysterious mission notice, Su Bing'er was the first to receive it, and the destination of this mission was also the small world that Su Bing'er had cleared, if it had nothing to do with Su Bing'er, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
"Sister Bing'er." Gao Han called softly, "Sister Bing'er, if some things are hidden in your heart and make you very painful, you can say it, let us share it for you, aren't we your teammates." ”
Su Bing'er shook her head, she sat on the sofa and hugged her knees, her petite body curled up in a ball, she was escaping, she didn't want to think about those past things, even if it was obvious that things had found her now.
None of us know about Su Bing'er's past, but now that such a thing is happening, everyone wants to find out, and Su Bing'er is the only one who can ask.
"Bing'er......" Ning Xinyan's eyes showed a touch of distress, she sat down next to Su Bing'er and hugged her gently, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, let's ignore this mission, I'll tell Zhuang Lao later." ”
Gao Han on the side sighed, spread his hands, and said, "Sister Bing'er, I don't want to force you, I really don't want to say it, just follow what the eldest sister said, just ignore this mission." ”
Su Bing'er was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of warmth in her cold eyes
Nuan, she looked at Ning Xinyan, her small fist squeezed imperceptibly, and then curled up, leaned on Ning Xinyan's arms, and said slowly in a low voice: "Erwin World is a place I have been to. ”
Hearing Su Bing'er speak, a few of us stopped talking, and our minds were concentrated, this was the first time Su Bing'er told her own things, and everyone listened very seriously.
"I have a vague memory of the past, but I vaguely remember that I used to have a wealthy and warm home, my father received a high salary, my mother took care of me at home, and I often followed my mother to clean the house, which should have lasted forever."
"Until one day, a group of unknown people broke into the house, and my mother hid me under the bed, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to move."
Hearing this, I have already guessed the end of the story, and I can't bear to listen to it anymore. I've seen a lot along the way, but I've never been able to adapt to it.
"Then the group found Mom and Dad and said a few words, and Dad suddenly got into a fight with them, and then they took out their knives and ...... them in front of my eyes."
Su Bing'er's shoulders were obviously twitching, and Ning Xinyan hugged her, gently stroking her hair, comforting Su Bing'er's mood.
Su Bing'er took a deep breath, her whole person seemed to calm down a little, and continued: "Later, I fell into reincarnation, came to the world of Erwin, and became a girl of the elf race. ”
Elves? It is worthy of a fantasy world, and even this race that only exists in Western legends actually exists.
"At first I was very confused, I didn't know what to do, I just wanted to save my mom and dad, I followed those faces that looked very strange, day after day, every day I learned how to fight, every day I learned how to make myself cruel, I was taught by them, how to be able to kill my opponent faster, to kill those who should be my compatriots, until ten years passed."
Decade...... Although what happened in the small world was like another life, for ten years, Su Bing'er had been spending time in this kind of cruel training, if it were me, would I be able to do it? I think I could, because I'm a man, and I'm talking about it from the perspective of someone who has come before. But she was different, she was a girl, a girl who had just lost her parents, a girl who had seen her parents killed. Ten years is tantamount to torture for her.
"The elves are at war with humans, and in ten years I have grown up in that world, and I was forced to go to the battlefield with a bow and arrow, use the weapons in my hands to kill people with the same soul as me, and then watch my companions fall one by one, bleeding one by one."
"Until that time I knew that victory in this war was my only hope of recovering my mother and father."
As she spoke, Su Bing'er raised her head slightly, her eyes were already a little red from tears, she quietly stretched out her hand and picked up a glass on the table, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, the glass turned into a glass paper crane.
"This ability of mine has existed at that time, and as I continue to grow, I have found that I can change the objects I touch into what I want, and then I relied on this power to manipulate the treasure of the elven race and win the war, and that treasure is called the 'Yunyin Sword'."
