Chapter Twenty-Four: New Combatants
"Cherish fate!" Yun Xiao shouted, waking up from his sleep like a nightmare.
However, it is very strange that the surroundings are not the bedrooms that I am familiar with, but like a fairyland for practicing martial arts. Towering peaks with white clouds lingering on the mountainside, and a flat field the size of a football field at the top. The floor was all white marble, and a delicate-looking, purple-haired girl sat across from him.
"Am I dreaming?" Yun Xiao scratched his head.
"Sort of." The girl looked at Yun Xiao with a calm face.
"yes, who are you?" Yun Xiao looked at the little girl who was less than one and a half meters tall.
"The Seven Original Sins of the Holy AllianceβHua Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry to have penetrated your dreams without permission and checked your memories." The girl nodded slightly as she spoke, apologizing.
"Your memory, you mean that what I just saw was not a dream, but something that had happened to me."
"That's right, what you just saw is what happened in the first three years."
"Ah, don't be kidding. I'm just an ordinary office worker, a punisher of heaven, and murder, and my brain is a bit big. β
"No kidding, this is your past." Hua Xiaoxiao said with a serious face. Gong Chun Xiyuan didn't make a move in the end, but because the number of survivors was twenty-one, she was killed by Jin Shuangyue behind her. Although you successfully graduated, because of the death of fate, you had no intention of training to become an A-level Heavenly Punisher. In the end, the organization decides to tamper with your memories and return you to the lives of ordinary people. β
"And what's going on with my wife now?"
"It's a clone, after all, Gong Chun regretted that he didn't graduate successfully. In order to stabilize society, the organization made a clone of her to replace her. You fell in love with her at first sight because of this previous experience. β
"Oh, really? Then why did you awaken this memory to me? β
"I want you to kill someone for me, Jin Shuangyue. She is the culprit who killed your original wife and ruined your future. Of course, I also have a blood feud with her. β
"Turns out, you want to use me as a gunman." Yun Xiao sneered.
"Yes, but you must be eager for revenge."
"Indeed, from the memory just now, I really deserve revenge. However, how do I know if that just moment is my real memory, you also said. My memories have been tampered with later, so how do I know that what you showed me was not a memory that you tampered with. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in killing. I'm pretty happy with my life now, I just want to work hard and take care of the people I want to take care of. β
"You're such an elf." Hua Xiaoxiao's body began to become transparent. "Forget it, although you don't believe in many things, one day, reality will make you believe." After finishing speaking, Hua Xiaoxiao's body turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.
"Heavenly Punisher." Thinking of these three words, Yun Xiao had goosebumps. Soon he opened his eyes and found himself lying on a familiar bed, with the person he loved the most in the world lying beside him.
"Oops." Yun Xiao sat up violently.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiyuan asked beside Yun Xiao, and Yun Xiao moved just now, which made her wake up from her sleep.
"Nothing, I had a dream, I dreamed about what was before." Yun Xiao got out of bed as he spoke, looked at his phone, and found that it was half past six. I'm going to be late for work. He hurriedly got dressed and ran out in a hurry.
"Haven't you eaten breakfast?" Xiyuan shouted in the back.
"No, I'll buy some quick food downstairs." Yun Xiao responded loudly and went out.
I bought two pork pies at the pie shop downstairs, stuffed them in my mouth indiscriminately, and hurried to the bus stop to wait for the bus.
Originally, there were two or three people at the bus stop, and after standing for about twenty minutes, the No. 101 bus that Yun Xiao was going to do arrived, and there were more than 30 people at the bus stop at this time. As soon as the car opened, a group of old men and old ladies flashed out of nowhere and rushed in front of them like fierce tigers.
"Hey, the car is jammed. Don't come up again, wait for the next shift. The driver shouted impatiently and closed the door.
"But I..." Before Yun Xiao could finish speaking, a cloud of car exhaust blocked his mouth. This kind of exhaust gas that does not burn oil spit out all of Yun Xiao's breakfast as soon as he smelled it. "Damn, do you know how much pork costs a pound now?" Yun Xiao yelled, trying to throw a stone but couldn't find it on the street.
When I looked at my phone, it was almost seven o'clock, and it seemed that I could only break the bank. So Yun Xiao had no choice but to take a taxi and sit in the car. He saw the old men and women get off the bus, and they only took two stops before getting off.
"Your sister's." Yun Xiao cursed secretly in his heart. When he arrived at the company, he got out of the car. β30γβ The driver said and stretched out a hand to Yun Xiao.
"No, I was only 20 last time I sat down, how can this be so expensive. There's something wrong with your log? β
"Why are you so verbose, the log meter says 30, you want to pay the bill." After he finished speaking, he waved his fist in front of Yun Xiao. There was no way, Yun Xiao had to take out thirty yuan for him. When he got out of the car, the taxi driver was still muttering behind his back, "I can't afford to take a taxi." β
Yun Xiao endured a bad breath, thinking about the ugly face of the driver just now, and thinking about why he was so weak, he should have fought with him just now. I have been a taxi several times, but none of them exceeded twenty yuan.
"Hey, boy, what are you doing?" When he walked to the door of the company, a security guard in his fifties shouted at Yun Xiao.
"Go to work." Yun Xiao forced a smile on his face.
"You just walked here on the lawn." The security guard said and took out his baton and patted his trouser leg.
Yun Xiao looked back and saw that there were indeed two lawns in front of the company. If you come directly to the lawn, you can leave a large walking distance. So usually many people are stepping on the lawn and taking shortcuts, and no one cares, I don't know how someone cares today, and then look at the security guard, it is a new face that I have never seen.
"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time, I won't be stepping on the lawn." Yun Xiao said with a smile on his face.
"Next time, you want to have a next time. People like you, it's really not okay if society doesn't educate and educate. The security guard said and stretched out a hand to Yun Xiao, which reminded Yun Xiao of the taxi driver just now.
Yun Xiao hurriedly took out a high-quality cigarette from his pocket, of course, Yun Xiao himself is not a smoker, but his relatives and friends around him smoke, and he had to prepare it in case he needed it.
"If you don't come to this set, I want a fine."
"Fine." Yun Xiao looked confused when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "How much?" β
"Five hundred." The security guard said confidently.
"Five hundred, why don't you rob it." Yun Xiao thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he just smiled and said, "Uncle, I know it's wrong, I won't do it next time." β
"It's best not to do it next time, but you can call the money this time first. If you don't pay this money today, you don't want to get out of this door. The security guard shouted, calling the other security guards in. A security guard looked at Yun Xiao's embarrassed appearance and stepped forward and said, "Forget it." The security guard shouted, "No, it is because of the inaction of you people that there are so many violations of law and discipline in the country, and there is so much corruption." β
"Well, uncle. I really didn't know that there was a fine for stepping on the lawn, if I wanted to know..."
"Why, if you don't have a fine, you will step on it."
"No, but the company didn't say anything. And you see everyone stepping on the lawn, is it possible..."
"Who said that the company doesn't have regulations, the company's employee articles of association say it. A fine of five hundred, or you won't want to enter this door today. β
"Oops, I'll go." Yun Xiao's temper suddenly came up, and he was fined 100 yuan for not memorizing the company's employee rules. So it took two days to memorize it, although it has been five years, I haven't looked at the code again, and I forgot some things, but I know that I definitely didn't step on the lawn and pay a fine of 500 yuan. "Uncle, is the company owned by your family? You say you have it, I think you want to slander me. Yun Xiao shouted.
"You little bunny, if I didn't have you, I could have said you. You wait, I'll call the company boss right now and ask you to hear if there is any. The security guard pointed to Yun Xiao's nose and said.
"Okay, if there is, don't say five hundred, I'll give it to you even five thousand." Yun Xiao said and looked at the old security guard firmly, he was sure that the company did not have this article.
The security guard immediately called in front of me, "Hey, Zhiyuan, did you say that our company has stepped on the lawn and fined it?" β
"Zhiyuan." Yun Xiao was stunned when he heard these two words, how could this security guard directly call the boss's name, could it be that this security guard is a relative of the boss.
The security guard looked at Yun Xiao with a triumphant expression, and then turned the phone screen on the speakerphone to himself. "Yun Xiao, our company does have this regulation. You hurry up and call the money, and pay attention later. β
"I..." Before Yun Xiao finished speaking, the phone hung up.
"Boy, I told you about the fine." The security guard looked at me with a smile.
"I..."
"What am I, hurry up and pay the money." The security guard yelled like a creditor.
"Here you go, I'm going out and stepping on today." Yun Xiao said as he took out five hundred from his wallet and threw it into his hand.
"Wait, you're so forgetful. I remember you said that if this was true, you would give five thousand. The security guard looked at Yun Xiao with an indifferent expression.
"Five thousand, don't put your nose in the face." Yun Xiao said angrily, there was no such rule in the first place, it is estimated that this person relied on his relationship with the boss, and the boss protected him.
"Today, if you don't give five thousand, you won't want to enter the door. Didn't your mother educate you to make a promise? The security guard said and lit a cigarette, and the person next to him seemed to say something but stopped.
"I'm quitting." Yun Xiao saw that there was no room for maneuver, so he left the door of the company in a hurry, and he couldn't take out 5,000 yuan for a while.
After Yun Xiao walked out of the door of the company, he found a place to climb over the wall and enter the company, and his pants were inexplicably open when he climbed over the wall. As I sat in my office, I took a closer look at the company's employee rules. Read word by word, read all thirty pages, and Yun Xiao didn't see the article that he would be fined for stepping on the lawn.
"Yun Xiao, you don't have to get on the boat today, go home and wait." When Yun Xiao came out of the office and was about to find his boss, Yun Xiao's boss greeted him.
"Why?"
"I told you to come at eight, it's half past eight now, you know no."
"But...", without listening to Yun Xiao's explanation, Yun Xiao's boss strode into the elevator. Yun Xiao knew who he might have offended, so he had to prepare to leave the company.
As soon as he got out of the company, Yun Xiao saw it. The security guard who fined me trampled on the grass with a pure black wolfdog. The security guard whistled leisurely, and the dog dug a hole with his paws in the grass.
"Okay." Yun Xiao shouted and rushed over, but suddenly thought of what had just happened and slowed down again. This security guard should have something to do with the boss, it's better not to mess with it. So I had to find a place to climb over the wall and get out. Take the bus home.
However, how can I tell my wife when I go home? I haven't been on the ship for three months, and this time I guess I won't be able to get on for a while, although there are still a lot of savings at home, but after all, I have two children now. However, Xiyuan is very smart and virtuous, and in the three years since she got married, she has never quarreled.
Yun Xiao bought some vegetables at the supermarket next to his home, and then went home. As soon as he entered the door, Yun Xiao heard the sound of two people panting. Looking at the sound, the bedroom door was not closed, and on the bed, two people who were full of ** were engaged in some kind of intense exercise. One is her own wife, and the other is her cousin, according to his wife.
Yun Xiao's brain was blank for a while, and he didn't know what to do. Should you cough, or is it the wrong way to open the door yourself? Yun Xiao stood stunned, like a schoolboy who had been punished.
"Ahh A casual glance seemed to notice Yun Xiao. Hurriedly pushed the person who was pressing on him away, covering his naked body with a sheet, with a "why did you come back so early" expression.
And her so-called cousin, after simply putting on two clothes, looked at Yun Xiao. "Aren't you going to get on board? How did you come back so soon. β
"I..."
Without waiting for Yun Xiao to finish speaking, which cousin pushed Yun Xiao. "But you're back just in time, so we'll get things sorted out today. I don't want to see fate wronged with you anymore. Do you know how much suffering I have suffered with you? It's been three years, and the family is reluctant to buy even a car? Live in this pig's nest every day, and you have to let Xiyuan cook for you every day. β
"Don't talk about it." Xiyuan rushed to Yun Xiao and which cousin looked aggrieved.
"Don't stop me today, I have to make it clear to him today, I can't let you be wronged." Which cousin yelled, pointing at Yun Xiao's nose. "Do you know how lonely she is at home alone when you go out to earn money? You know that she has to take care of two children at home while you are alone at sea enjoying the scenery. She has suffered so much for you, you send her 15,000 dollars every month. I don't even have enough money for a day's food, are you embarrassed to say that you love her, can you give her happiness? β
"I..."
"Don't say anything, come with me, don't suffer with this poor bastard, he doesn't deserve how you love him." After his cousin finished speaking, he walked out directly with Xiyuan, who was only wrapped in a sheet, and as soon as he got out of the residential building, he stepped into a blue Koenigsette, and ran into the distance with an earth-shattering throttle.
Yun Xiao sat slumped on the sofa, not knowing what to do for a while. I stared at the wedding photos on the wall of the living room for an afternoon. It wasn't until the evening, because the lights were not turned on, and the house was too dark to see the wedding photos clearly, that Yun Xiao realized that he was still alive. Yun Xiao leaned against the wall and walked towards the bedroom, but he always felt that the wall was shaking. Then walk over to the bed and lie down on the bed. It feels like it's magical, and there's a sense of ethereal and illusory in a dream.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Xiao opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the house. On the contrary, it was surrounded by mountains, and a thick fog like milk surrounded him, covering the top of the mountain and halfway up the mountain. When I looked up, I saw a mirror-blue sky. I was sitting on a chessboard the size of a basketball playground, and a girl in a silver robe sat in front of me. Yun Xiao sat in the center of the chessboard, opposite the girl.
"You are, Hua Xiaoxiao." Yun Xiao remembered that he had dreamed last time, and he seemed to have met this girl.
"It's incredible, even an A-level Heavenly Punisher wouldn't remember the dreams he had in his deep sleep. And you, as an ordinary person, can remember it clearly. β
"You said it was my dream."
"That's right, the scene around you is also a reaction to your state of mind. This is already the realm of the unity of heaven and man, even if you are a genius of the world, it will take ten years of cultivation to reach such a realm, but you have it as soon as you are born. Hua Xiao wrote, and couldn't help but have a glimmer of dawn in his eyes.
"When you say that, I do seem to be dreaming." Yun Xiao smiled awkwardly, I don't know why, I faintly felt some colic in my heart.
"Even if you don't have the strength, you're too inferior in your heart." Hua Xiaoxiao took out a small wooden stick like a teacher and pulled it into Yun Xiao's palm.
"It hurts." Yun Xiao instinctively took his hand back. "What are you doing? Alas, no, it's a dream, how can I feel pain. β
"This is a space in your subconscious, which even the Heavenly Punisher would not be able to enter. It's a place where you'll be able to understand things five times more than usual, and it's a great place to do secret training. β
"Special training, what are you going to do to me." Yun Xiao said with a bad premonition.
"The king is back, and I will help you regain the power you should have."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. β
"It's literal, you are a genius who has not been seen in a hundred years, and with a little training, you can have the power of the Seven Original Sins."
"What you say in a dream is called a dream talk, right?" Yun Xiao smirked. But as soon as I finished speaking, a slap slapped Yun Xiao's face.
"Hey, what are you doing, it hurts." Yun Xiao yelled, even though the other party was just a little girl who looked less than fifteen.
"I'm sorry, I can't control my hand for a while." Hua Xiaoxiao looked at me indifferently.
"You kid has no tutor, how can you beat people casually." Yun Xiao raised his right hand as he spoke, and treated him in the same way as others, letting her know how heavy the palm she had just hit me was.
With a "snap", the girl's left face was imprinted with her own handprint, I don't know why, I feel a lot more comfortable in my heart.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite backbone, Yun Xiao. I gave you a slap in the face, and you won't spare me for the sake of being a little girl. Then why, in the face of the security guard who cheated you on your money, the man who snatched your daughter-in-law, the woman who killed your first love. But you don't complain at all, you don't have a temper at all. Why don't you want to slap him like that. After Hua Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he slapped Yun Xiao heavily in the face.
Covering his hot cheeks, Yun Xiao didn't know what to say for a while. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Hua Xiaoxiao's eyes, as if he had suddenly done something very embarrassing.
"Because you think I'm weaker than you, that's why you fought back. Because you feel that those people are better than you, you don't dare to complain. β
"No, I am..."
"You're nothing." Hua Xiaoxin slapped Yun Xiao again, this slap was very heavy, but it didn't hurt very much.
"That's the way the world is. The strong can play with the weak wantonly, and the weak can only grovel and beg for mercy from the strong. If you don't want to be hurt, if you want to protect the people you cherish. Don't find a reason to escape from reality, try to be stronger. Become stronger than anyone else, so strong that the weak will kneel and beg for mercy when they see your afterglow. β
"Get stronger." Yun Xiao Machinery repeats these two words.
"That's right, if you want to change that. Just do as I say, first take my training, and then participate in the Battle of the Chosen and defeat a demon named Jin Shuangyue. Hua Xiao wrote, his eyes were full of strange fire.
