As if returning from a dive in the abyss, Long Yun woke up and gasped for breath.

Why do you have such dreams again?

Returning to reality from the crossing, what is presented in the line of sight is the elegant wooden bed drapery; Outside the window, larks chirp briskly, and sunlight casts clear light and shadow on the floor through the delicately decorated glass windows.

I looked at my phone, and it was almost nine o'clock in the morning.

Despite having such strange dreams again, Long Yun still slept quite comfortably, he stretched his waist, and then suddenly remembered his duty.

What about Shangguan Ling, where is she?

After careful observation yesterday, Long Yun knew that the security work of the Brittany Manor was quite meticulous, and with the effect of consciousness snooping, he was not too worried about the personal safety of this eldest lady; But it was a little too late to sleep until nine o'clock.

Hurriedly getting out of bed and getting dressed, Long Yun walked out of the silent room, closed the door and walked into the corridor with a linen carpet.

In the silent corridor, Long Yun thought as he walked that in that parallel world, he had just fought the CIA in a manor that was exactly the same as this one; In the building he was in, at the top of the staircase at the corner in front of him, he had killed two unlucky people who rushed up. Thinking like this, when he walked towards the staircase, Long Yun suddenly felt very frightened, as if he was worried that a corpse lying on the ground would suddenly appear in front of him.

There was nothing there.

Long Yun could only shrug his shoulders, probably he was still stimulated.

Walked quickly back to the door of Shangguan Ling's room, through the door, he could feel Shangguan Ling's thoughts, it seemed that she had just gotten up and had not gone out.

He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who is it?"

"I, Long Yun."

After the click, the exquisitely made wooden door was opened, and Shangguan Ling, who was dressed in loose casual clothes and had a calm face, let Long Yun in sideways, and looked at him a little unhappily.

"Woke up? I thought you were going to sleep until the afternoon. ”

"-Sorry, I overslept a little." Long Yun was uneasy, sure enough, this eldest lady was still angry with him? To his surprise, probably due to the influence of the environment, Shangguan Ling's love today's situation is quite good.

"Oh, actually, it doesn't matter. Let's go, I'd like to go out into the wild this morning. ”

After having breakfast casually and saying hello to Camilly, Long Yun followed Shangguan Ling out of the main gate of the manor.

Following the carefree wandering Shangguan Ling, Long Yun held the beagle "Maddie" she had borrowed from the owner of the manor, Brown. Although they only got together for a short time, both of them already fell in love with this clever and well-behaved purebred dachshund; There's not much hunting here lately, so it's not allowed to use its ability to burrow and catch hares, but it's good to take a walk around the neighborhood.

It's early summer, and as far as the eye can see, the winding path is filled with green and lilac crops, and the characteristic scent of lavender fills the clear air.

The morning sun casts the trees in the distance in a faint warm hue; Long Yun looked around and felt that the scenery in front of him was really picturesque.

With the traction of "Maddie", strolling along the babbling stream, Shangguan Ling seems to enjoy such an idyllic time, and also improvises the scenery from time to time to take pictures.

While walking, it seemed that he was unconsciously looking at the surrounding terrain, and Long Yun had to admit after looking at it for a while: in the world he had just crossed, the Brittany Manor and the surrounding area after a fierce battle could be said to be exactly the same as the scene in front of him.

Can two different worlds really be similar like this?

Long Yun thought about it casually, at this time they had already walked a long distance; I don't know what the reason is, at the fork in the creek, Long Yun subconsciously pointed to the small bridge not far away.

"Oh? That bridge is kind of interesting, let's go and have a look. ”

Shangguan Ling also seemed to be interested in the scenery over there, and the two of them stepped onto the forked path one after the other.

Approaching the bridge, Long Yun could see more clearly, he was completely sure that the scene here was exactly the same as the place where they fought fiercely across the bank with the French.

It's exactly the same everywhere, and there's something weird about it, of course; But Long Yun is no longer surprised. Seeing Xiao briskly running to the tree and picking up a hind leg to prepare a convenient "Maddie", Long Yun stepped forward very casually; He wasn't sure if he could allow pets anywhere and wanted to get the little dachshund away.

The key to fate always appears inadvertently.

Grabbing the leash and casually glancing at the tree trunk, Long Yun suddenly looked as if he had been immobilized, and his eyes stared motionlessly at the trunk in front of him.

Right in front of him was a mediocre tree trunk, the kind of birch common in the countryside of southern France, but at this time, it seemed like some kind of demon that made Long Yun unable to move. After a while, Shangguan Ling, who had noticed his strange behavior, approached and couldn't help but feel very strange when she saw Long Yun's surprised look.

"Long Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Long Yun didn't answer right away, his eyes still lingering on the trunk of the tree in front of him. Less than a man tall, there were several notable scars on the trunk, as if they were the result of some old scar.

If my memories are not wrong, here, this should be-

"Uh...... Miss Shangguan. ――Can you wait for me for a while? ”

"Yes. But what are you going to do? ”

"I ...... I think...... Take a closer look at the tree. ”

Reaching out and pulling out the multi-functional knife in his trouser pocket, Long Yun took a step forward and began to think about how to quickly remove these scars.

Fiddling with the small saw and sharp hook knife for a while, under Shangguan Ling's slightly surprised gaze, Long Yun used the tip of the knife to pry out a small piece of something from the scar and dropped it on the ground where the blades of grass were sparse. Slowly squatting down, twisting his two fingers to look carefully, his face gradually became cloudy, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

The small metal particles that were already rusted and distorted could not escape Long Yun's scrutinizing eyes. It's-

Elongated warhead. 5.45 mm caliber. That's right, this is the warhead of the AK74 family of rifles.

Shocked by such a discovery, Long Yun rubbed his eyes, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Rifle warheads, is this possible? On the outskirts of southern France, where there has been no war for almost a hundred years, there are traces of 5.45mm bullets?

His thoughts suddenly became confused, and Long Yun's mind suddenly showed the scene of the battle that night: the French soldier who was shooting sideways on the opposite side, he was leaning against a small tree, and when he just leaned up, he splashed blood under the shroud of his AKS74 crosshairs......

- No!

It's- it can't be! It's simply ......

A bold guess gradually pressed on the top of his head like a thick black cloud, Long Yun only felt a little spinning, his thoughts really scared him.

This distorted warhead, probably, was hit into the trunk of the tree by his own hands.

Twenty-three years ago in the middle of the night.
