After saying this, I sat in a daze, and when I came to my senses, I realized that Honglian was gone.

There seems to be no life on the empty mine, the sun has risen, and the sunlight pierces the layers of clouds, casting a long-lost light on this land.

But I still only felt the chill to the bone.

Changed.

Things are people, and they can only be described by this word.

Red Lotus's voice suddenly resounded across the earth, her laughter was as charming as ever, and she said: "There are twenty-five survivors so far, I really didn't expect this battle to be even more exciting than I imagined, you are really worthy of being candidates for the Night Watch, you are all warriors worthy of praise." ”

Hearing her say this, I could only show a wry smile.

Yes, we are indeed warriors, and when we know that the fewer the numbers and the better the ranking, everyone begins to kill each other unscrupulously, and on my side, I have lost so many important partners because of a horse and a double wood.

Wang Xilai, Wang Shu, Li Chun, Lin Sui......

Feng Tong'er, who was not far away, had already woken up faintly, looking at her a little tired and accompanied by a blank expression, I finally reacted and walked over slowly: "It's okay." I said to her.

Feng Tong'er glanced up at me, and the moment she saw me, the confusion in her eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep sadness, and she whispered to me, "It's all over?" ”

I nodded, "yes, it's all over." ”

Feng Tong'er stood up, she looked into the distance and whispered, "So...... Shall I go? ”

I frowned, "Let's go together." ”

Feng Tong'er shook her head, "You don't understand what I'm talking about, I'm talking about leaving the night watch." ”

When she said this, unexpectedly, I didn't have much surprise in my heart, maybe it was such a series of blows that had made me feel numb, so I was just silent for a long time before slowly saying to her: "You make your own decisions." ”

Feng Tong'er's eyes gradually emerged with a maturity that she had not had, she was no longer the naughty and cute girl she used to be, at this moment there were more and deeper things precipitated in her eyes, that kind of charm was like a deep night, and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

I watched Feng Tong'er's figure disappear into the mine.

At this time, Honglian's voice came again, and she said with a smile: "Everyone follow my guidance, now is the time for you to return with glory." ”

As soon as her words fell, I saw a flame suddenly appear, the flame in the air as if it had its own will, gently drifting in one direction, and stopping from time to time, as if urging me to move forward, I was not as ignorant as before, just quietly followed the flame forward, without any expression on my face.

I'm really numb, compared to the hairy boy at the beginning, now I'm not only growing up but also numb, everything will no longer feel strange, and I don't have the awe or timidity I had at the beginning.

I have really grown, but the cost of such growth is too heavy, and these bloody human lives have taught me how to survive better in this world, which is a misfortune in itself.

I don't know how long I walked, other people appeared in front of me, and there was no Feng Tong'er and Yun He in the crowd, they seemed to have disappeared.

I was no longer curious, just sighed softly.

The group of people were all standing there, their whole body was tired except for vigilance, and Red Lotus stood in the middle of the crowd, her clean and tidy clothes in stark contrast to us.

There was no smile on Honglian's face, but her voice still sounded extremely charming and moving, but there was really no trace of a smile, and she said, "Actually, you are much luckier this year than I was at the beginning. She stroked her hair and said softly: "Twenty-five people, it is considered an elite, you can directly start to contact the tasks above 10,000 yuan, 10,000 to 100,000 caps, the tasks in this range are you can choose, as long as you complete a certain amount of tasks every year, then whatever you do, you can do whatever you want......

Her voice softened, "It's better to be a student or to go to work...... Small hidden in the mountains and big hidden in the city, it is your task to hide yourself, and now ...... Follow me back to the Night's Watch branch. ”

All the survivors looked at her numbly, and then followed her mechanically towards the door.

This is the end of the mine trip.

In the days that followed, we underwent a thorough medical examination, and then there were no more tasks.

I also have my own residence, which is not luxurious, but it is indeed a luxury house in Shenzhen, where every inch of land is expensive.

In the days that followed, I rarely saw the Red Lotus, not even Ma Shuangmu or Ma Xu, they seemed to have completely disappeared from my life, I watched the same scene day after day, occasionally went to the Night's Watch branch for physical training, and then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I contacted the Red Lotus.

When the red lotus appeared, I felt in a trance that everything had happened.

"Can I go back?" I asked her.

Honglian shrugged at me, and she smiled exactly as usual, "Of course you can, didn't you say it?" As long as you complete a certain amount of tasks in a year, you can do whatever you want, and you'd better go back and continue to be your student. ”

I nodded, didn't say anything, packed my bags and headed back to school, just as winter break was approaching.

The school is still bustling, the students are fighting, and the teachers are still very old-fashioned and hard to listen to, but for me when I return to class, it is undoubtedly the most beautiful sound.

Once upon a time, the happiest years I felt in my midnight dream were when it was time to study. Now sitting in the classroom that haunts my dreams, I look around and sigh slightly, I am still the same me, the classroom is still this classroom, but everything has changed in just a few months, I am the only one in the dormitory, Li Chun and Wang Xilai have ...... gone, Lin Sui also ...... is gone, Feng Tong'er doesn't know where she has gone, and her life and death are uncertain.

The old locust tree at the entrance of the school seems to be still like that, but the couples who are flirting and scolding below don't know how many waves have changed.

I didn't stay at school for a few days before it was time for the holidays, and I went home, and it was only now that I realized that my parents were no longer young.

There were already a few gray hairs in their ears.

They are no longer young.

Returning to my hometown and revisiting my hometown, the last thing I can let go of in my heart is Ma Chengcheng. 10
