084. [Shenhai + Meimo] Nan Xiao's life story (self-proclaimed)
"I, Nan Xiao, were born in a tribe called Wakanda. It is simply not found on the map, and we have been isolated from the world for generations. β
Nan Xiao began to tell the story.
"I was born in a secret valley and, like all the other children around me, was born with extremely brutal training. My mother was a very ordinary person, and my father, I had never met. According to his mother, he has been out on a mission all the time. Occasionally go home, rest for the night and leave in a hurry. It's like the cold winter that has been enveloping our valley, the silent loneliness ......"
Sarah listened excitedly, and her hands were clasped together, but she still couldn't help but shiver.
Not only her, but everyone else was deeply intrigued.
It turned out to be a stranger!
There are rumors of supernatural beings in this world, and there are many mysterious stories about the gods. But today, at last, there is a living Psychic who wants to tell his own story. It's a secret that can't be heard anywhere else. It is a strange and mysterious world that is taking off an incomparably wonderful corner of them!
Looking at Joel's expressions, that's probably what they thought.
Giving full play to his mouth cannon expertise, Nan Xiao began to compile: "I have an older brother." He's not as naughty as I am and very sensible. Respect for elders, be modest and prudent, and work harder than me in cultivation. And he took good care of me. When I was bullied by other kids in the valley, he was always the first to come out and help me. Later, together we became the apprentices of Master Infinite Sword Saint Yi. He was a master swordsman who taught us the art of controlling the wind. It was the happiest time of my life. I practiced sword practice with my brother and repeatedly practiced controlling the flow of the wind......"
Speaking of which, Nan Xiao deliberately paused, wanting to test the audience's level of involvement, and it turned out that the effect was very good. Needless to say, Sarah, Joel and Tommy are also attentive. Virginia looked incredulous at first, but gradually became infected by the atmosphere and unconsciously pricked up her ears.
Very good, that's what I want.
"That," Sarah couldn't help but urge, "Brother Xiaonan, what happened later?" β
Nan Xiao continued: "Then one day, people of unknown origin invaded our valley. On a cold, snowy night, they descended from the sky on an iron bird with a propeller, weapon in their hands that spewed fire and deathβ"
"Helicopters and rifles." Joel interjected.
Virginia and Sarah glared at him almost at the same time: You know? Microphone for you, you for talking?
"I'm talking about how I felt at the time," Nan Xiao explained, "I hadn't seen a helicopter or a rifle at that time. Our valley is closed, with no electricity and no internet. We've been like that for thousands of years. β
Sarah's eyes turned red when she heard this, and her eyes were full of sympathy when she saw Nan Xiao.
Nan Xiao continued: "At that time, I foolishly thought that by defeating them on my own, I could become a hero to save the village. I rushed up and killed some of the intruders. But there were too many of them to kill. I got shot a few times, my eyes went black, and then I didn't know anything. β
Tommy also fell into Nanxiao's story. "Then you woke up and found that everyone in the village was dead? You weep bitterly in front of their corpses and swear to avenge them? β
Nan Xiao suddenly discovered that this old brother was also a genius who made up stories. A few sentences but very graphic, perfectly combining revenge, determination, prodigal son and other growth elements. The skeleton stood up in an instant, and as long as enough details were added, it would definitely become a flesh-and-blood novel.
"No," he said, shaking his head, "when I woke up, I found that I had been taken prisoner." I was put on the planes of the invaders, with my hands and feet tied, lying on a stretcher. There are a lot of kids like me. I saw my brother, unconscious, lying not far from me. β
"Why did they arrest you?" Joel asked.
"It's for training."
"Training?"
"Well, brutal cold weapon combat training, assassination training, and drug cooperation erase our feelings and turn us into outright killing machines. We are not allowed to have our own ideas, we must act according to orders. There, I was erased even by name. The instructor gave me a code name, 47. According to the instructor, I was just a knife, and it was impossible for a knife to think for itself, and it was necessary to obey the command of the hand. β
"It's so pathetic......" Sarah burst into tears.
"Maybe it's Master Yi's teachings. I continued to meditate and practice at night, and in the end I resisted the medicine and did not become an emotionless killing machine. I learned a lot about killing people with cold weapons, but I never forgot that I was a human being. Later, during a training session, I broke free of control and escaped through the snow. β
Escaped! Everyone pricked up their ears and waited to hear the story below.
Nan Xiao coughed and took two sips of water.
Sarah couldn't wait, grabbed Nan Xiao's arm and shook it: "What happened later?" And then? β
"Later, I became a fugitive and was hunted down by my former training companions. Many of them were friends of mine since childhood, but I had no choice but to kill them one by one. Until one time, I met my brother. He's been sent to hunt me down......"
Joel suddenly turned away and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to find a plane." There are plenty of private hangars here, and it shouldn't be difficult. β
His steps were slightly unsteady, and the story seemed to bring back memories for him. To be sure, it's definitely not a pleasant old day.
Nan Xiao continued: "It was on a cargo ship that crossed the Pacific Ocean. My brother followed me all the time and found my tracks. I remember it was very windy, and the waves were as high as mountains. A large ship of more than 100,000 tons was tossed around like a leaf in the face of a huge wave. We stood face to face and drew our swords to each other according to the etiquette taught by Master Yi. The blade and the blade collide ......"
