Chapter 54: Looking Back
"They...... It's moving! ”
It's late at night, most of them are asleep in their tents, and only a few of the more atmospheric people are around the campfire, counting the stars with their beloved him or her, feeling the evening breeze, and occasionally paying attention to the rankings in the light curtain. Reading artifact. YAnKuAi.
"Wake up, wake up! Six hundred and sixty-six steps! They moved! The shout was extremely loud, waking up the sleeping crowd.
The book mountain is boiling again.
At this moment, the ranking on the light curtain has quietly changed.
First place, laughing three knives, six hundred and sixty-eight steps.
Second place, Chen Ran, 667th order.
…… After that, Tian Tian, who ranked third to ninth, was all on the 666th step.
Everyone's order is rising at a constant rate. No one thinks it's strange, it's as it should be.
They no longer focus on the tenth and the next hundred, and they have lost their meaning.
Level 3...... is the real place of trial!
"How lucky they are......" someone sighed, his eyes full of longing and remorse. This is a senior senior: "The Gate of Rebirth, the most famous treasure of the Galaxy Academy, can make people's lives start again...... It's a shame that I didn't make it to the Six Hundred and Sixty-Sixth Steps. ”
Several people around him couldn't help but sigh on their faces, it was too difficult for a freshman who had just been admitted to the hospital to be able to break into the six hundred and sixty-sixth steps.
"Reborn?" Suddenly, a person next to him spoke, his expression was like an ancient well, and he didn't make any waves, but he recalled it in his eyes, and he didn't know what emotions he had in his heart: "You don't understand...... How can life be repeated? No matter how you choose in the door, you still can't escape the current fate, fate may have a fork in the road, but there will be a time when it will cross...... This door is looking back. ”
"Even though I had gained a lot of money, I still didn't want to go through it again...... Looking...... Hey. ”
The man burst into a burst of self-deprecating laughter.
Similar conversations appear in many places, either reminiscing, or painful, or longing, or yearning......
But no matter what they have in their minds, they can't change one thing.
They can no longer feel the wonder of that door, this is the most abundant resource that the academy pours into the best of the freshmen, and it can only be obtained in the freshmen's book mountain test!
If you miss it, you miss it forever, and there is no chance to make up for it.
Those who can step through that door are both lucky and unlucky!
……
"Little slave, what's wrong with you?"
A chubby boy about four or five years old, who looked stupid and stupid, was led by the hand of a thin, tattered child walking down the street.
Suddenly, the expression of the thin black child who was originally smiling froze, and his eyes seemed to contain all the sad emotions from the bottom of his heart at this moment.
Pain, struggle......
The seemingly stupid teenager's attention has always been on the toy in the hands of the black and thin child, so the anomaly was discovered at the first time.
"It's okay...... Master. ”
The thin black servant smiled with difficulty: "Let's go back." ”
"Not playing today?" The young master pursed his lips, his face full of disappointment.
"Hmmm......"
At this moment, an old white-haired old man with a dragon bell ran over eagerly, grabbed the young master's hand, and shouted desperately: "Come with me!" ”
"Butler, what's wrong?" The young master asked in a daze, and the servant began to be silent, the pain in his eyes intensifying.
The housekeeper didn't talk nonsense, knocked the young master unconscious with one palm, and carried the young master on his shoulders very urgently, and was about to leave, but after a pause, he began to look at the servant and said, "You come too." ”
"Yes......"
The servant followed the butler all the way to a large courtyard, not far from the young master's house, and the housekeeper hid the two children in the firewood room.
After a while, a voice was heard not far away that made the servant extremely sad.
There were men's howls of pain, women's desperate cries, and he seemed to hear the baby's cry and last gasp.
Angry roars, cries of fear, screams of sorrow, all kinds of voices poured into the ears of the servants.
The servant trembled slightly......
The butler looked at the servant in a daze, his eyes showing apologies, sympathy, and sadness.
The servant knew what the butler was going to do, and he smiled bitterly, "You need a substitute, don't you?" Before I die, I wondered who they were. ”
"You're really amazed that you can see through this at such a young age, yes...... I need a substitute for the dead, otherwise the young master will not be able to escape this catastrophe. The housekeeper sighed, his eyes turned to the young master, the warmth in his eyes was completely different from that of the servant, he stroked the young master's chubby face with his old hand, and said with a wry smile: "The master was a member of the science and technology organization...... Not anymore. The young master has always been the best for you, and I hope you can give me your life at this moment. ”
"I got it......"
At this moment, a firewood knife penetrated the housekeeper's old body, and the housekeeper turned around with an incredulous look: "Why?" ”
"Actually...... You shouldn't give up your vigilance because I'm only five years old, this time, the last time was ......" The servant's eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop falling, but his voice was very calm: "Why? I told you the answer before...... Why? ”
"Why should the son of the old man live, and the son of the servant die?"
"Why should I die?"
The servant with tears on his face smiled: "I remember the first time, you tried to trick me into taking off my clothes and going to get this wood knife yourself, but I took it in my hand and stabbed you in the stomach. ”
"I am only the son of a servant...... But I want to live. The servant's voice was calm and firm, speaking his thoughts.
The butler, perhaps because he didn't want to disturb the people outside, didn't scream, but just looked at the servant in horror, like looking at a devil. He collapsed in a pool of blood.
The servant held a firewood knife in his hand, walked slowly in front of the young master, knelt down, and bowed his head: "Young master, you are the only one in the mansion who regards me as a friend...... But the world can't be rebuilt, I'm sorry ......"
"At the beginning...... You see the butler who has always loved you the most lying in a pool of blood, and rushed towards me like crazy, trying to hit me, trying to bite me. I was flustered, but I didn't expect to cut your neck......"
He was silent for a moment and then continued to recall: "Young Master, I wanted to cover the wound on your neck for you, but I couldn't cover it no matter how I covered it......"
The servant suddenly raised his head and looked at the young master in front of him, he was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and laughed miserably: "Maybe it's not manslaughter...... Maybe I just wanted to kill you. It's been so long that I can't remember exactly...... Maybe I thought that as long as you die, those people won't bother with me, the son of a servant. ”
"If I could do it all over again, I would give you my life...... Master, I'm really in pain. The servant wiped the sweat from his face, and the miserable smile turned flat, but in this smile, there was a cold to the bone: "But I can't do it again, this time, I won't let you die in pain again...... Now that I know the origin of those men in black, I will avenge you...... I'll pay you back in the future! ”
The servant stood firmly, weeping, laughing, and raising his sword......
One Knife ......
Two knives......
Three-knife ......
Completely cut off the young master's neck, and at the moment of death, the young master woke up, he was confused, with puzzlement, but slowly closed his eyes without any pain.
At the last moment of his life, he saw his friend who was crying, and his lips moved slightly, as if to comfort him.
The young master has always been a fool......
The servant wept loudly and broke his heart. Holding a rusty, blood-stained firewood knife in both hands, he stood in front of the young master's corpse, his little face was full of pain, his body was trembling, and he could collapse to the ground at any time.
But he never fell.
……
Leaving the small town, the servant went all the way north, and in the wilderness he did not encounter any wild beasts, and although he could be covered with fruit in the mountains and forests, hunger kept him company.
I don't know how far I walked, I don't know how long I walked, but the yellow-faced and thin-skinned servant followed his memory and found a dilapidated house in the mountains and forests.
There was an old man inside.
The following year, the servant lived in this mountain forest, until one day the terminally ill old man called him into the house.
There was no furniture in this room, only a bed and a long knife.
"Would you like to learn from me?"
"I don't want to ......" The servant looked indifferently at the old man who was lying on the bed, "but I have to learn ......"
The old man smiled: "What's your name?" ”
"Laugh three times."
Soon after, the old man died, and since then Xiao Sandao has never been out of the mountains and forests until he was fourteen years old, the old man's old friend came to visit, and found that after the old man died, he brought Xiao Sandao into human society.
Galaxy City - Galaxy Academy!
Xiao Sandao did not choose to try to change what had happened, and unswervingly walked his life trajectory again.
His knife is firm!
He must be firm, too!
Only by becoming the strongest can you take revenge. This was understood after he experienced the past for the first time in his life.
So he has to believe in himself and believe that he is the strongest, so that he can go on the path of the strongest.
The past could never be changed, and he looked back just to find the answer, even if it was painful again.
Afterwards......
At the beginning of the school year and the admission to the hospital, someone broke into the mountain of books, smiled three knives and walked up with a knife, and walked into the door of looking back.
This long and painful retrospective begins here and ends here.
Xiao Sandao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already standing at the six hundred and sixty-seventh steps. He glanced back at Chen Ran behind him, his eyes full of emotion.
Much like the young master...... xh118
