Chapter 2: Monsters in the Dark
"AC312 reports!"
The man in front of him put down the book in his hand and slowly raised his head.
"It's just in time, how is your health?" His brow furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be some anger in his eyes.
I shuddered, and said slightly, "There is nothing wrong with my body, I used to do it often, but this time I ......"
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry! Prime Minister! I bent down and said earnestly.
The Prime Minister was silent.
I looked at him, and I became more and more uneasy. I kept thinking about what to do now.
After a while, the Prime Minister spoke, "Do you know about your mission?" β
"Yes, Shang Lin told me."
"What is claimed to the outside world is actually false."
"Huh? What do you mean ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, all the alarms went off in an instant. A group of people wearing Federation combat uniforms barged in, wearing very heavy helmets and all-black combat uniforms, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell the difference between men and women.
While I was in a trance, the man who took the lead walked up to me with heavy steps. With a hand, all the alarms stopped again. There was still noise, but it felt very silent. It seems to be a flat ground after a storm, one second it is still windy, and the next second it is quiet and harmonious.
"AC312, you are suspected of violating federal regulations and stealing federal war secrets, according to federal regulations, you should be sentenced to ......"
The moment he spoke, I was confused, "Breaking federal rules? Stealing war secrets? What is it. β
"Death penalty, summarily executed now!" When the man shouted the word "death penalty", his voice was deliberately raised several times, as if to declare a kind of majesty of his own.
Three men rushed up to me and grabbed my hands, one of them kicked me in the leg, and then stomped on me so hard that the pain was so severe that I couldn't stand and had to kneel down.
The man who took the lead took out the Yinlai gun and slowly pointed his hand from his waist to my head.
There was no change in his eyes during the whole process, he was always so cold and emotionless. It seems that looking at each other for a second will make people feel cold and fall into the endless abyss.
I slowly closed my eyes, without any fear of death.
I borrowed my life from the Federation for more than ten years, otherwise I would have died on Artimus.
If you don't have a moment of doubt before you die, can you leave with peace of mind?
But...... Why are you so unwilling!
Is it because he has been wronged? Is it because of confusion? Or do you regret it because of your lonely life!
Bangββββββ
A tear slowly ran down the corner of my eye and down my cheek.
In this life, although there is hesitation and helplessness, I have gone to heaven and hell, but I have finally left some reluctance.
I lost consciousness.
Another timeline, or a different plane. Su Xia said in a daze, "Hmm......? Where is this? Hell...... Or paradise. β
It took a lot of effort for Su Xia to open his eyes to a perspective that could be seen roughly clearly
Surrounded by a white curtain, he lay on a bed that looked like a hospital bed and not like a hospital bed.
She tried to lift her head, but she didn't have the strength to do the kind of movement that required her to move.
In desperation, she used the last bit of strength in her body to slowly look at the man on the right who was reading.
"Huh? You're awake. Yin Xunan raised his head and put the book in his hand on the small table next to him softly.
"Here...... Where is it? Su Xia's voice was very small, and the paleness of her face made her very weak now.
"This is the school infirmary." Seeing her like this, Yin Xunan also lowered her voice, for fear of disturbing her. It's like guarding a piece of sapphire that shatters when you touch it.
"I ...... What's wrong. β
"You just fainted suddenly, and you can't wake up no matter how you scream, so I'll carry you here." As he spoke, he lowered his head silently, but slowly looking up from his cheeks, he could still see the roots of his ears that were gradually reddening.
Su Xia looked at the roots of his red ears and felt a little embarrassed.
After a while, he whispered, "Hmm...... Are you okay. β
"I'm fine, I just don't have the strength in my body." Su Xia's voice was smaller than Yin Xunan's, maybe it was really because he had no strength, or maybe he was too embarrassed.
There was another period of silence with no lower limit.
After a while, Yin Xunan seemed to be about to speak, Su Xia looked at him expectantly, but he silently put his hand on his lips and was silent.
In the end, it was Su Xia who opened his mouth first. "I'm fine, why don't you go back first?"
"I don't have anything to do when I go back for the time being, I'll tell you what I said at school yesterday first."
"Uh-huh...... Wait, yesterday?! Did I sleep all day? Su Xia was stunned, she didn't expect that she had slept for so long this time.
"Does my mom know I'm fainting?" Su Xia began to panic a little, although she was still very weak, but she could hear a lot of crampedness and uneasiness in her voice.
"Auntie knows, she just went down to buy breakfast, and she will come up later."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Su's mother hurrying, running up quickly, putting down the breakfast in her hand, and hurriedly hugging Su Xia, "Xiao Xia, are you okay, why did you suddenly faint?"
"I'm fine." Su Xia said unhurriedly, looking more light and breezy, which made Su's mother quickly let go of her uneasy heart.
Mother Su gently let go of Su Xia, turned her head to Yin Xunan and said, "Thank you, young man." β
Yin Xunan shook his head and slowly stood up. "It's okay, it's what I should be. Okay, I'll tell you about it......"
After Yin Xunan left, Su Xia suddenly thought, "I slept for a day, did Yin Xunan stay here for a day?" β
"Yes, this kid is so nice, he is very busy, but he insists on staying." Su's mother said with relief.
"Oh my God! Are you so relieved to give your daughter to a strange man? Am I your own daughter? Although Su Xia's face was expressionless, her eyes were full of shock.
"Hmm...... It seems to be oh, no way, who called people too handsome, I can't stand it for my mother. Su's mother was fiddling with her demeanor, covering her face with her hands, as if she was not a woman in her forties in front of her, but a girl of the same age as Su Xia.
Su Xia could only shake her head in resignation, there was no way, there was an elderly mother, and she didn't even want her daughter when she saw a handsome guy.
"Wake up quickly, what are you doing lying down?" Su's mother suddenly put down her hand, and changed back to the mother who was still charming before.
"I don't have the strength to ......," Su Xia said helplessly.
Although I would have fainted suddenly, I wouldn't have no strength like I have now, what happened?
"Tsk, are you staying up late again?" Su's mother pointed at her and said in a questioning tone.
"Nope...... I went to bed at 11 o'clock yesterday. β
"Then if you can't go back now, would you like to borrow a wheelchair?"
Although Su Xia felt a little embarrassed, it was not good to stay in the school infirmary all the time, so she agreed.
Walking out of the campus, she really received the eyes of many people, and there were some people who seemed to have seen it yesterday, and those people who had seen it were whispering, probably because Su Xia's classmates remembered her yesterday.
Although it was summer now, it had only rained last night, and now Su Xia's body was weak, so he began to tremble unconsciously.
At this time, a somewhat familiar figure ran over, Su Xia squinted his eyes and saw that it was Yin Xunan, who was running over.
"Auntie, is Su Xia okay?" He came over and gasped, pressed his hand on his thigh, and said with some hurriedness.
Su's mother suddenly seemed to have changed again, and she didn't have the old Cheng before, "Xiao Xia is fine, thank you Xiao Nan for caring so much about my daughter." β
Su Xia regained a little strength, turned her head to look at her mother, and then looked at Yin Xunan, but she didn't expect Yin Xunan to be looking at her, just in time, the atmosphere began to be embarrassing again.
"Uh...... It's okay, that's how I should be. Yin Xunan scratched his head awkwardly, "If Su Xia is fine, then go home and rest for a few days, and I will help you go through the formalities and ask for leave." β
"Thank you." Su Xia spoke slowly.
"You're welcome, I should." Yin Xunan looked at her, looking back at another person through her eyes. My eyes couldn't help but redden. It seems to be back to that beautiful youth, smiling.
Su Xia felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this, slowly lowered her head, pulled the corner of her mother's clothes, and urged her to leave quickly.
Mother Su also sensed that something was wrong with Yin Xunan, and said softly, "That'...... Let's go first. β
Yin Xunan didn't react, still staring at Su Xia.
"Yin Xunan?" Su Xia opened her mouth a little angrily.
Only then did Yin Xunan react, retreated backwards, and almost fell. Mother Su hurriedly went up to support him, and Yin Xunan thanked him and turned to leave. Although I don't know what happened, through his back, I seem to see a lot of vicissitudes and helplessness, and sadness lingers all over my body.
Su Xia felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't care so much, so she asked her mother to leave.
On the way back, the more Su Xia thought about it, the more wrong it became, the sense of despair and vicissitudes was very familiar, just like ...... Her father's back before committing suicide.
Once, Su Xia also had a complete home, and her parents were very busy, but her parents loved her very much.
But at that time, there was a lot of social pressure, and the emergence of a financial crisis was enough to tear a wealthy family apart, and Su Xia's family was one of the victims.
An accident shattered a family that originally had a bright future.
One night, after returning home, Su's father hanged himself in front of a little girl who was only two years old, with his back to his daughter, and did not say a word before he died.
The next day, after the police came, they checked and cleaned up the scene, and found nothing wrong, which was an ordinary suicide.
But this ordinary thing has given a two-year-old child eternal damage in his heart.
Smiling depression, on the surface, it seems to be no different from other girls, but the soul is filled with sadness and sorrow. But Suxia is a special one.
She is lonely, but she is hidden deep in her heart, and people can't guess her. She is a monster in the dark, but yearns for the light. A pure little heart, because of a childhood accident, changed her life.
