Magic City

Outside the hospital

Luthor swore he was absolutely not mistaken

In the blink of an eye of the explosion just now, a bunch of orange-red flames loomed in the palm of the man's palm, and all the flames were absorbed by the orange flames at the moment of the explosion, and then extinguished in an instant.

Struggled to get up and tucked the phone into his pants pocket.

The orange-red flame lingered in my mind

Could there be such a weird thing in reality?

Is it the illusion of completely diving into the helmet?

Instead of imagining it on a deeper and more bizarre level, more than ten years of science education has made him uphold the belief that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and any unknown thing can be explained clearly by science.

I didn't let the episode affect my plan.

Find a self-service bank, transfer the 8,000 yuan from the bank card to your personal account, and take a taxi back to your residence.

........................

Come to the gate of Jinghua Community

Looking at the floor of the dwelling, I feel a lot of feelings

I have been renting here since I graduated

Although Jinghua Community is far away from the former company, it is convenient in transportation, cheap in rent, and located in the suburbs of the magic capital

Otherwise, it is impossible for migrant workers who have just graduated from college to afford to live

The days of going out early and returning late to crowd the subway in the past are gone the moment I put on my helmet, and the fragrance that once lingered on the tip of my nose may have appeared at the head of someone else's bed at this moment.

Shaking his head and laughing at himself attracted the disdain of the community security guards

"Go, go, go back to your construction site!"

"Huh?"

Only then did he look around, the clothes he wore from the ward were in tatters at the moment, and there were ashes on his arms and face, and he looked like he was dusty, and it was inevitable that he would be misunderstood by the security guard at the door.

Pouting and taking out the key from his pocket, he opened the door of the community with the gate under the consternation of the security guard and walked away.

Ignoring the red-faced security guard, Luthor went straight back to the rental house and collapsed on the patchwork couch.

The studio apartment of less than 20 square meters is still the same as before the helmet is put on

The uncleaned space allows you to see the dust in the air through the sunlight

Since graduation, his unwilling heart seems to be polished by the society without a trace of edges and corners, when the boss forcibly seized his own plan as his own, and swept himself out.

Under the double blow of career and feelings, he chose to escape from reality

Fate played a joke on him

Put on a helmet and experience a short reincarnation in the game

"Do you want to join the military department?"

The sound is not loud and reverberates in a small space

Luthor smiled bitterly to herself

This is an impetuous society, a cannibalistic society, a society that entertains to death, and laughs at the poor and not at prostitutes

You can't do anything without money, you don't have the ability, you don't even have the basis to survive!

Just like the chain of contempt of the security guards at the door, the security guards look down on these mud legs who come to the demon capital to work hard, but they don't know what kind of posture he has in the eyes of others!

Although all kinds of doubts are hidden in the heart, as the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and a Buddha fights for a stick of incense.

When I had a falling out with my family, I came to the magic capital alone to work hard, just to mix up my personal appearance!

Now the opportunity is in front of you!

It doesn't matter if the road ahead is heaven or hell

Is it a mountain of knives or a sea of fire

There is no way out for me, and it will never be possible to continue to write soft texts to survive!

Join the Army!

With his mind set up, Luthor began to pack his clothes and book his plane ticket for tomorrow

It's time to go home and say goodbye to the naïve and stubborn self you used to have!

..............................

The next morning

Gudu Airport

"The smog in the ancient capital is still as mellow as ever!"

Luthor covered his mouth and nose and hit the car

"Master, Bell Tower!"

"Okay, what's the matter, let's play!"

"Go home!"

The taxi driver chattered all the way, and Luthor listened to his fragmented thoughts, thinking of the inseparable figure

The relationship between parents and children is the most magical relationship in the world, as the saying goes, father's love is greater than the mountain, mother's love is greater than the sky, but the children's feelings for their parents are also very complicated.

When they were young, they were seen as supermen and omnipotent

When you are young and rebellious, you see yourself as an enemy

When I became a parent, I could also appreciate their hard work at the beginning

A thousand turns

It's hard to complain

If this unfilial son finally turns back, will his parents forgive him?

After getting off the bus

Walk through several narrow alleys

Finally reaching the upper floor, which was not too old, Luthor saw a familiar figure at the top of the staircase

That's a girl who has been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, so many years

She's still there!

I really wanted to say hello to her, but my body froze

After all, I don't have the backbone and courage to ask if you're okay

Maybe it's because I'm too depressed now, or maybe it's my resistance to my childhood sweetheart marrying another woman, Luthor waited outside the building for a while before taking the elevator to the 21st floor.

Stand in front of the door

The raised right hand hovers over the door

After a long moment's hesitation, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door

Knock knock

Knock knock

"Who!"

It was Lu's mother's voice, which was more vicissitudes than before she left.

The throat choked, but no sound sounded

"Who!"

"It's coming!"

Knock knock

The door opened, and a figure appeared

The once black and bright green silk is now a little white

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes have deepened

The cheeks are a little sunken and not as rounded as I remember

Maybe the unfilial son left home to let her work

Luthor stared blankly at the figure in front of him

Thousands of emotions finally turned into a voice

"Mom!"

Lu Mu covered her mouth, her eyes were red and moist

Tears rolled down the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes

Raise your palms and slap them on Luther's head

"You still know to come back!"

"You still know to come back!"

Luthor hugged her, and Lu's mother sobbed

"It's good to be back!"

"It's good to be back!"

Father Lu walked out of the kitchen when he heard the sound, holding a shovel in his left hand, wearing an apron on his body, and a drop of grease on the lenses on his face

The temples are full of gray hair, the wrinkles on the forehead are clearly visible, and the white beard is faintly visible on the chin

There was no such storm as expected

Father Lu pushed his glasses

"Coming back?"

Luther wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded

"Hmm"

Father Lu looked at Mother Lu, "Open my bottle of wine"

Mother Lu burst into tears and smiled, reached out and hung Luther's coat on the hanger, and pulled Luther around the room.

The furnishings of the house are much the same as they were three years ago

It's just that there are more flowers and plants, shrimps, birds, fish and insects

The bedroom is still the same as when I was in high school, and the posters of football stars on the walls are a little yellowed

Luthor's chest was a little blocked

That indescribable feeling lingered in my heart

Perhaps, this is home!

.........................................

Meal

Father Lu sat on the other side, and Luthor sat on the other end

Father and son drank a bottle of wine

Some of the words were also brushed over in the wine

"What are you going to do?"

Luthor's father has always been strict with Luthor and participates in his various life plans, but at this moment Luthor can feel that he does not have any opinions of his own.

It's just a simple inquiry

"Join the army!"

Didn't tell the parents about the Conqueror Helmet.

Based on Lu's mother's performance, she heard that her son had been lying in the hospital bed for five days because of the game helmet, and she must not be reluctant to the game company.

"At your age, you don't have enough conditions to join the army!"

"Hmm... It's a civilian recruitment."

Father Lu nodded in contemplation when he heard this, and Mother Lu was on the side

"Why do you want to join the army! I'll tell you, I'll go to your aunt tomorrow, your cousin has opened a company, and it's doing very well, where are you going to him! ”

"Also, you're not too young, and you should..."

"Xiaoqing's child also grew up with you....."

Xiaoqing is the shadow that Luthor saw outside the building.

"Xiaoqing doesn't have a partner?"

"Xiaoqing's mother told me last time, if your son is here, how good it would be to make a pair!"

"Xiaoqing is three years younger than you....."

Luthor could no longer hear Lu's nagging, and his thoughts fled light years away

Xiaoqing has no object?

I don't know why, a stone fell to the ground in my heart

The girl who was a childhood sweetheart in my memory has no object

It's like the rice harvest in the rice field on the bank of the river where I have been living

In the face of Xiaoqing, Luthor has complicated feelings,

But I am in this situation now

Let him be clueless

Scratched his head

"Mom, don't worry about this matter first, let's think about it in the long run...."

"I'm not in a hurry? I don't have to worry, the classmates who went to high school with you have babies! ”

Lu Mu's voice was suddenly too high, and when she said the excitement, she trembled

Father Lu stood up and pressed his hands on Lu's mother's shoulders

"In what place? When to go? ”

"Hmm... Recently, I haven't asked clearly! ”

Father Lu stopped talking when he heard this, and Mother Lu began to nag again...

It's a big head

It's homely!

Lu Thore was thinking in his heart, when would he talk to Cao Yunhua and inquire clearly.

But Lu's mother grabbed her arm and dragged her to the door, insisting that she wanted to go to Xiaoqing's house to have a look, which scared Luthor to go down to see her classmates and run away.

Come downstairs to the complex

Sit in the gazebo in the garden

Lit a cigarette

Lu Mu's actions really scared him

Xiaoqing's name is Ouyang Qing, his father and Luther's father originally belonged to a research institute, and the two families have been on good terms since they moved into the community more than 20 years ago.

Xiaoqing herself does not object.

It's just that Luthor was young and vigorous at that time, so ambitious, and always felt that the outside world was more exciting, and he said goodbye three years ago.

Deeply hurt the people around me.

Now he is facing an invitation from the military department again

I definitely can't stay with my loved ones for a long time!

Ay!

sighed

Get up, when you are not good enough, you are not qualified to be entrusted by others.

...............................................

"My brother told me that in 99 he was one of the three thousand white-robed cultivators, and when the aliens attacked the earth, the three thousand white-robed cultivators bore the brunt..."

"Impossible!"

"My sister told me!"

"She was the vice-captain of the Galactic Fleet at the time, and when the Zerg attacked, the fleet she led used particle cannons to beat the Bug swarm to pieces!"

"But my brother clearly said that the white-robed cultivator is powerful!"

"My sister is the best!"

On the grass not far away, the childish voices of several villains came

The content made Luthor amused for a while

Look back

A few small figures pushed the only snow on the grass together and piled it up into a snowman of less than twenty centimeters

Winters in the ancient capital are becoming less and less presentable

There is no snow shadow all year round

This causes several villains to laugh when they look at the snowman, who seems to Luthor to be a little embarrassed

Whispered to the villain

"You're all right, and you're not right!"

"In 99, aliens invaded the earth, but it wasn't just the Zerg!"

A few villains followed the sound and found a tall figure behind them, screaming and scattering

But he was attracted by Luther's words

"Uncle, you said there are other aliens?"

"Uncle, my sister never told me!"

Uncle?

Luthor was stunned

I touched my chin

The stubble has grown

Let's just be an uncle!
