Chapter 18: Hesitation (I)

"First of all, we need to awaken your Wing Clan identity."

"This thing still has an awakening? Didn't you say that the birth rate of the Wing Clan was only 1 in 10,000, and they were born with wings? "Until now, I don't quite understand how you got back together, how do you distinguish your companions?" ”

"That was in the past, remember what I mentioned? This drug locks that part of the genes in the wings, including regrowth and natural generation; But it can't protect us forever, and after a few generations, the potion begins to fade, and ordinary people who might become Wing Clan will gradually grow wings after birth. Peony explained to him very seriously.

"I'm almost twenty years old."

"It doesn't matter, it's also possible that it's hidden deeper, and it can be re-unlocked with an injection."

"I didn't feel that special."

"It's okay, I didn't feel how special I was when I was younger."

"Don't you think about probability?"

"It's okay, I've already decided."

"How do you know for sure?"

"What are you hesitating about?" Peony suddenly asked this pointed question.

yes, what are you hesitating about? Yan Qingcheng pondered silently. What a wonderful creature the Wing Clan is, with a stronger physique, a smarter brain, and a longer life than ordinary humans, he repeated what Peony told him over and over again in his heart, but he never made up his mind.

"Let me think about it." His tone was sluggish.

"Okay." Peony sensitively sensed his unnaturalness and didn't ask any more questions.

Yan Qingcheng walked aimlessly through this golden hall, and finally stopped in front of the statue in the center.

"The wisest, strongest, and most determined leader?" He tried to reach out and touch the book in the woman's hand, but was stopped by an invisible force, "Is the Wing Clan really that good, good enough for humans to destroy them out of jealousy?" ”

"I originally wanted to completely cut off this bloodline inheritance, but in the end I couldn't make up my mind." This is what Yan Qingcheng said to him when he was not awake in the illusion.

"How are you sure?" Yan Qingcheng thought twice and raised the question again.

Peony has been following him all this time, "Three pieces of evidence." 1. Your IQ is particularly high, and you can be admitted to the National Academy of Sciences without relying on any relationship and only by your own efforts; Second, the recovery ability is outrageous, and the eyebrows can survive being shot by the shaped gun; 3. Pure intuition, the Wing Clan can judge each other's identity by feeling when they are close to each other, and someone will teach you about this after you awaken. ”

Yan Qingcheng nodded, "Is there anything else you want to explain to me about the relevant history?" ”

"You agreed?!" Peony is very happy.

"No, you're thinking too fast."

"You have to think fast." Peony muttered in her heart, and began to consider whether to forcibly tie him up for injections.

"Let's get out of this place." Yan Qingcheng gave up thinking, there were so many things that had happened in the past few hours, and he needed a little time to sort it out.

"Your brain is suitable for studying to death, and you don't have any courage or courage at all." Peony couldn't help but speak.

Yan Qingcheng let out a long sigh, "Yes, I am indeed a person who is content with the status quo, if these things had not happened, I would probably have only curled up in the lies woven by the coalition government, refusing to touch the truth; For me, being able to spend my life in purity is the most luxurious dream. ”

Peony heard a thick gloom and desolation from his words, thinking that this young man must have experienced some ulterior past; But Peony is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, and she has very little life experience, so she doesn't know how to guide the teenager in front of her.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to think it through."

Peony walked to the inside of the hall with Yan Qingcheng, and she fumbled a few times on a floor-to-ceiling painting to open a cleverly disguised secret door.

The secret door led to a narrow spiral staircase, and the two walked for a long time to reach the exit.

Outside the exit was a familiar scene, it was inside the hospital where Yan Qingcheng woke up, and they came to a ward.

"That means we came full circle and ended up back at the beginning." He rubbed his temples, not realizing for a moment that something was wrong; He looked at Peony again, and the girl's cheeks were a little red, and her face was full of embarrassment.

"Then what did you do with me so far before?" He finally reacted, they could have walked directly from this staircase to the mural hall, but Peony took him a thousand meters through the desert, and then dragged him to the bottom of the cave with great difficulty, and finally crossed the dark corridor to reach his destination; Even if Peony is energetic and energetic, you have to take into account his feelings.

"Well, wouldn't that make you even more impressed? I've seen adventure novels write like this, where the protagonists struggle to reach the secret room where the treasure is hidden, and when they finally escape, they take undiscovered shortcuts. Peony replied cautiously.

Yan Qingcheng didn't want to deal with this brainy girl, he sat on the ground, and all the tiredness came up after seeing the day again, it was already very dark outside, and they must have been underground for a long time.

"Oh, you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat." Peony saw the opportunity and hurriedly left.

Shortly after she left, the physician Cheng En pushed the door and walked in.

"Grandpa Cheng, why are you here?" Yan Qingcheng hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"I heard your voice next door, so I came over to take a look," Cheng En smiled and nodded to him, "Presumably Peony has already shown you the secrets below, how do you feel?" ”

"I believe it."

"But you're hesitating." is worthy of being a weathered old man, and he can see through his words at a glance.

"Well, a little overwhelmed."

Cheng En patted Yan Qingcheng on the shoulder, "I don't know their attitude towards you, but I think you should choose a path that you won't regret, even if it's not the most correct choice." With that, he walked out.

"Won't you regret it? The hardest part is that I don't regret it. Yan Qingcheng sighed lightly.

Late at night, Yan Qingcheng lay on the hospital bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It didn't take much time for Peony to bring him food, and the food was exquisite, but he obviously didn't have much appetite, and he was full after a few bites.

After that, Peony didn't stay with him anymore, and Cheng En arranged this ward for him to rest for a night.

"I can't sleep," although his body was very tired, he still didn't feel sleepy, and Yan Qingcheng's mind was full of things about the Wing Clan; He got up and walked outside the hospital, sat on the sand dunes, looked at the stars in the sky and muttered, "What the hell am I going to choose?" ”

He suddenly remembered the girl with the black ribbon tattooed with bright red flowers, and only her face calmed him at this time.

"Hey, what the hell am I going to choose?" He asked silently into the starry sky.

"Yan Qingcheng, are you thinking about spring?" A hearty male voice came from behind him.
