It's already October, and the weather is getting cold. After leaving the dark room, I found Xiao Lin and went to the backyard with her.

Wearing a khaki tweed coat, she looks a little mature, and her hairstyle has long changed from a ponytail when she first met on campus to a shoulder-length one, and a strand of hair is hidden next to her ear.

I was looking at it, and she said, "I was really frightened by the appearance of the little fish that day, and now she is still trapped in her room, and no one will knock on the door." I don't know how to help her......"

That day, Xiaoyu used a shotgun to bombard the fallen boy desperately, turning hatred into murderous bullets and tearing at the corpse on the ground. At that moment, was the smile on the corner of her mouth the satisfaction of revenge or the pleasure of murderous addiction?

"I remembered what you said that day......" Xiao Lin hugged my arm and meekly rested her head on my shoulder. The autumn sun shone on her hair, trembling slightly.

"When I couldn't let go of Xiao Qian's death, you told me that we would definitely face many similar scenes," Xiao Lin smiled lonely, "It's obviously not a long time ago, but it seems like a long, long time has passed...... Ah Chen, I'm a little tired......"

I had to hug her tightly, I was so naïve at that time to say such things without pain, until after all this, I suddenly realized that the world is not as easy as I said.

As a result, I was speechless and had to kiss her forehead.

We came to the back of the mansion, under a large tree in front of the greenhouse, a dozen or so corpses were neatly laid out on the ground, their faces covered with white cloths, and next to a dug grave.

Almost all the survivors gathered under the tree, all of them looking sad. I found out that the small fish were not among them. Didn't you even attend your father's funeral?

"The ceremony is about to begin." Xiao Jiu said lightly. Then a middle-aged man stepped forward, his black suit making him look energetic.

"Thank you to all of you for attending their funerals, these twelve are the warriors who guarded this manor. Under the fierce attack of the enemy, they stubbornly held out until the last moment of their lives. Here, we express our deep silence for their passing! ”

Everyone bowed their heads, the autumn wind was bleak, the leaves were rustling in the wind, and there was silence all around, and the faint screams of corpses in the distance enveloped the place like background noise. It suddenly occurred to me that last time it was Su Aaron who saved us but died because of it, and this time it was Mr. Fang who took us in...... It's ironic, maybe they shouldn't have saved us in the first place......

Thinking of this, I quietly looked up at Lu Feng, who was mourning silently, he was lowering his head and not realizing anything. I clenched my fists, and I had to make sure he made something clear.

After the silence, the funeral celebrant began to read out the lives of the deceased one by one to the script: "...... Mr. Fang relied on his hard work to build a huge business empire, and this beautiful manor was also built by him. In the last days, this paradise did not refuse people who came to ask for help, but generously accepted everyone. Someone as generous as him will never be seen again in this life...... Xu Linfeng is the captain of the guard team and has been ...... since he was a child"

After everyone's eulogy was read, the host said, "Today, they will take root in the land of this manor and become our protectors, continuing to protect this pure land in the chaotic world." ”

So, several people carried the body into the pit and began to sink into the earth. Team Zou held up his crutches, straightened up and saluted the pit, tears on his face. Under his influence, the crying on the scene gradually rose, Xiao Lin's eyes were shallow, and she couldn't help but bury herself in my arms and cry.

After planting the spirit tablets on the graves of the deceased one by one, the funeral came to an end and everyone left.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Lin took my hand and prepared to leave.

"Xiao Lin, you go back first, I still have some things to deal with." As I spoke, my eyes were on Lu Feng standing under the tree, and he was motionless looking at the spirit card on the ground.

Xiao Lin thought that I was going to discuss something important with Lu Feng, so she left with a sense of humor. When I came to Lu Feng, he didn't raise his head, he was still looking at the ground.

After a while, he spoke: "There was an emperor in ancient times who once said that power is a broken chair on the pile of bones, and if you want to sit on it, you can't reach it without stepping on the bones......"

I didn't know what he was talking about, but I asked within, "Did you break the generator on the top of the mountain at the beginning, at the beginning?" ”

I was expecting a negative answer from him, but the words he said with a smile on his face made my whole head buzz like an explosion. I was reminded of his quote – "Before you make any choice, put your options on both ends of the scale and weigh ......."

As a result, before I knew it, I had punched him in the face. Able to dodge the Prophetic Boy's attack, he fell under my fist once more.

I crouched down and grabbed him by the collar: "Say it again!" ”

Lu Feng smiled again and said, "That's right, I asked Tianliao to destroy the generator, you really guessed ......"

The autumn wind swept across the courtyard, blowing off a few brown leaves, and the lint from the trees drifted down around us, and not far away a gust of wind swept the fallen leaves into the air again.

I clenched my fists, but let go suddenly: "Why the hell are you doing this?" These people underground, they're all innocent......"

Lu Feng stood up, rubbed the place where he was hit by his fist, and said, "Do you remember what I said to you when we first met?"

In an instant, I felt as if I was back on that rainy night, and what came out of the mouth of this boy who broke into the commissary was an incredible ambition to conquer the world.

Lu Feng looked at the ground and muttered: "We have experienced a lot of things along the way, nine deaths and one life, and I myself have been pulled back from the Ghost Gate Pass by you once, which made me have such an idea for a while, and I think it is not bad to live with you like this, and face difficulties together until death really comes......"

He said a little excitedly: "But, how can I forget, how can I allow myself to forget—my dream is to build a kingdom of my own in this chaotic world!"

A dark cloud passed by in the autumn sun, and the whole courtyard went dark. From the first time he talked to me about his dream, I thought it was an illusory, unattainable delusion, but he never forgot it.

No kidding! I grabbed him by the collar again and shouted, "Bastard! You're just ...... for your illusory thoughts. How can you bear to kill these good people?? ”

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my stomach, and I reflexively leaned down and coughed in my throat. Lu Feng fought back rarely.

He condescendingly said, "Quite the opposite. That boy is a hurdle that we will have to overcome sooner or later, and annihilating them into the realm of our grasp will minimize the sacrifice of this place. ”

"Sophistry!" I kicked my legs and slammed into Lu Feng, knocking him to the ground. We scuffled, rolling on the ground, and finally we both crashed into the tree at the same time, giving out a muffled grunt.

I was lying on the ground snorting and panting, and he was in a similar condition. The autumn sun pierced the dark clouds and shone back on the earth, and I saw a lot of lint falling on the canopy, and my head was still buzzing.

"You, you really didn't want to harm them, but just to deal with Lin Yifei and them?"

Lu Feng also calmed his breath and said eloquently: "Tianliao only wants to avenge the madman, and I took advantage of his emotions to let him destroy the generator and provoke disputes between the enemy and me. I also thought about the temper and character of Mr. Yifang, and probably chose to fight hard, and also considered the situation that he might sacrifice. But in any case, as long as the other party is given the illusion that they are winning, they will fall into the net. ”

In other words, when I think of all the possibilities, it just happens that something worse has happened...... Is that what it means? I sat up, holding my forehead with some amusement.

"One last question," I asked, "if you knew that these people were going to die because of this, would you still make the same choice?" ”

Lu Feng only replied with one word; "Yes."

I staggered to my feet, this is the balance in Lu Feng's heart, I already knew it, maybe his approach can save more people in this last days...... But...... Even so......

I walked to the mansion, leaving behind the courtyard and a teenager in the autumn sun.
