Chapter 1: Winter
A month after Lu Qing returned from the mission, the space finally calmed down temporarily.
Lu Jie has completely disappeared from the world. Like other dreambreakers who died on missions, Space erased all traces of his reality. And the reason why Lu Qing killed the other party was also requested by Lu Jie himself.
"He has a terminal illness, a malignant brain tumor, and even if he leaves space, he will die soon." In front of Xu Zhen and everyone, Lu Qing said these words lightly.
Lu Jie is dead, and there is no one and no evidence that Lu Qing is lying.
Everyone was skeptical, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it. Space can heal any injuries suffered during a mission, but it does not include injuries or illnesses suffered in reality.
Over time, this incident was gradually forgotten by everyone over time. There are still days to pass, and tasks have to be done. The only thing that everyone will not forget is that although it is only a short moment, someone has indeed completed the task and is really out of space.
Time wanders through the wheel of fate, covering the complicated mortal world, in the blink of an eye, the years pass in a hurry, spring goes to autumn, and a lot of changes have occurred around Lu Qing and Dai Shikai.
Dai Shijin and Liu Chengyan entered the palace of marriage, and Dai Shikai and Lu Qing served as best men and witnessed the happy moment of the two.
Although life in reality is very beautiful, the smile on Lu Qing's face is decreasing day by day.
Xie Yuxuan and Qianshu died together in the regional mission, and Li Zeyan became the captain of the second district. As for the captain of the fourth district, it was taken over by Shimizu, and Carol Betsy was promoted to the deputy team, second only to Shimizu. (The experience of this period of time will be released one after another)
Chen Shuo and Dai Shikai completed their own solo assessment tasks without danger, and Dai Shikai also officially completed nine missions, becoming one of the few most promising dream breakers in the space.
He firmly believes that as long as he and Lu Qing spend the last mission, the two of them will be able to completely get out of space, and the laughter and laughter of the past will return to Lu Qing's face.
"What's the wind in the winter, don't you stay at home, you have to go to the Internet café to play?" The cold wind whistled on Lu Qing's face, and he couldn't help but lift his mask and tighten his scarf tighter: "It's not too cold because the snow is so heavy outside." ”
Dai Shikai on the side was also shivering from the cold, he sneezed, and his glasses slipped to the bridge of his nose, but he didn't bother to reach out and push, but stabbed Lu Qing's arm excitedly and said, "Do you remember Brother Ma and the three fat men?" I haven't been in touch for a long time since I graduated, didn't ZNG win the championship a while ago? The two guys rushed to South Korea to watch the game, and when they came back, they were excited, so they didn't immediately ask the two of us to fight in the Internet café, so that the King Canyon once again recalled the horror of being dominated by the 408 dormitory. ”
"It's good that they finally earned a breath for China and won the world championship." Lu Qing had a rare smile on his face, what Akai was talking about was a professional e-sports team, and it was also their favorite team in college.
Suddenly, Lu Qing recalled his carefree college life in the past, when he had no worries, and often played games in the dormitory with Akai and other roommates, stayed up late to watch games, and cheered for his favorite team......
"Brother Qing, we haven't had a good time for a long time, this time the old classmates have an appointment, not to mention the snow, even if the volcano erupts, we have to go! Besides, you've been depressed for most of the year, and I'm sad to death. Dai Shikai's words touched Lu Qing, he was right, he had been tense for so long, and it was time to relax.
Lu Qing didn't say anything more, but the expression on his face was much more relaxed than before.
"Let's go eat first, they're already there. As for the Internet café, it is still the one near the school, and a few of our brothers will revisit the old place today to reminisce and recall the green and prosperous years. Dai Shikai saw Lu Qing rarely smile, and his mood became a lot better.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Lu Qing also met his old classmates.
The tall and thin man wearing black glasses stepped forward and gave Dai Shikai a hard punch when he met: "Akai, you kid is growing up?" I see that you look more and more like a now, why are you so thin and tender. ”
"Fuck you, old man. If you don't believe me, I will be punched, and I will not be able to get up after falling to the ground. Dai Shikai was not annoyed, scolded the other party with a smile, and then turned his head to greet another person: "Three fat people, I haven't seen you for a few years, your hair is getting less and less, and I haven't seen the swimming rings on your chin and stomach." ”
"I'm getting busier and busier after work, where do I have time to exercise. It's you and Lu Qing, now you look more and more robust, and you are more handsome than before, what's the matter, are the brothers both married? "It was a fat man with an honest appearance, he was in the dormitory next door to Lu Qing and Dai Shikai, and they had a good time when they were in school.
"They're all single, and whoever talks about them is a dog." Dai Shikai was afraid that Lu Qing would recall the matter about Wen Qiao, so he changed the topic in time: "Okay, don't stick with the pestle here, today you Kai Ye and I will be the east, open to eat!" ”
"Well, then you're old!"
The cafeteria is near the school, and after a few years, the food still tastes the same as it did back then. Lu Qing was in a particularly good mood today, and he had never drunk much outside, so he rarely raised a glass and drank more.
A few people had lunch, and as previously arranged, they went to the Internet café where they used to open black together.
"Little sister, open four machines and sit in a row." Dai Shikai skillfully took out his ID card, filled the card with money, and while the waiter was operating, he didn't forget to turn around and chat with Lu Qing and the others: "In the past, this little sister at the front desk still had a crush on Brother Qing, right?" Not to mention the extra ten yuan for him every time, a few of us only drink Nongfu Spring, but Brother Qing can drink Assam. ”
"That was how many years ago Chen sesame rotted grain, and now my children are about to go to kindergarten." The front desk handed them back the ID card and looked at Lu Qing with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are getting more and more handsome." What's the matter, today you organized a group to reminisce about your youth? ”
"yes, revisit." Lu Qing exchanged a few words with the other party, and the group walked upstairs to the Internet café. Entering the private room and turning on the computer, looking at the familiar icon, Dai Shi Kaimo clapped his fists and said viciously: "I haven't touched it for a long time, I must have a good job today!" ”
Lu Qing coughed a few times uncomfortably, reminding Dai Shikai to pay attention to his words and deeds in public. The other two classmates didn't care, and a few of them started the game and soon immersed themselves in the hearty battle.
……
By the time I said goodbye to my old classmates and left the Internet café, it was already dark. Thick snow had accumulated on the ground on both sides of the road, and after a heavy snowfall, the city's roads, trees, and rooftops were covered with hoarfrost.
As soon as the wind blew, the snowflakes fluttered, and Lu Qing looked at the weather forecast before going out, and there would be snow at night. He took out the umbrella from his bag and handed it to Dai Shikai, while he gathered his scarf and buttoned the collar of his coat more tightly.
Due to the bad weather, it was also extremely difficult to get a taxi. After they watched the two old classmates get into the car, Dai Shikai rubbed his red cheeks from the cold, rubbed his hands with heat, and said to Lu Qing: "Brother Qing, let's go back quickly, freeze to death......"
"Akai, I want to go." Lu Qing stood quietly under the street lamp, the orange light poured softly on him, Lu Qing's slightly gloomy face on weekdays was illuminated by the light at the moment, the warm orange light made his body exude a gentle dream-like atmosphere, the deep and distinct outline of the past was under the soft light, and it was a little hazy and not like him.
In a trance, Dai Shikai seemed to see the scene when he first met each other in the cafeteria seven years ago, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but nod.
Well, this is the last volume of "Ghost in the Night", and after the end of this month, the new book "Death Stranding" will officially start to be updated. It's been more than a year since I knew it, and it's really emotional...... Our Brother Qing is finally about to usher in the graduation exam, applause!
