Chapter 71: Greyhound Bus (1)
It's been nearly a year since the North Sea Monster attacked New York, and the world has begun to become less peaceful, perhaps it has never been so calm, just in some darkness where sunlight can't reach, and in places where light is scarce, our naked eyes can't capture those scenes.
The war with the North Sea Monster took a huge toll and the naval fleet deployed in the waters near New York was nearly wiped out, and the Air Force fighter formation consisting of F22 Raptor fighters also crashed. And the ground forces, consisting of Delta Special Forces, Rangers, Navy SEALs, also suffered heavy losses. After the war, less than thirty percent of the sergeants remained. This was the deadliest battle since the founding of the US military.
The impact of the war was so great that people all over the world watched the terrible battle on television, and governments could no longer hide the secret of the blood of the gods. Some information about the Divine Descendant, the Dangerous Species, and the Divine Son was revealed. Governments around the world have promulgated a series of laws, such as the Divine Descent Act, the Dangerous Species Handling Act, and the Divine Child Incident Response Act. He also set up a department dedicated to dealing with special people who awakened the blood of the gods, and established an institution called Purple Hanging Wood with Zgrad Academy as its headquarters.
The Purple Hanging Wood will send special specialists to deal with events that the local department can't handle, such as certain powerful dangerous species and criminal gods. These commissioners are known to the outside world as scavengers, god-blood executioners.
Liu Weiguang was born in Dandong, Liaoning Province, and grew up in a city with a forest coverage rate of 61.6%, Dandong is rich in geothermal resources and is a famous hot spring health resort, with a coastline of 120 kilometers, which is the northern starting point of China's coastline, across a river from Sinuiju City in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Walking through the forest, the fresh breeze through the forest of rhododendrons and ginkgo leaves meets the refreshing blue breeze blowing from the sea in this beautiful city. Liu Weiguang's family is well-off, and sometimes his father will take him to the hot springs. He loved the feeling of being in a warm pool, not having to think about anything, not having to talk to anyone, listening to the sound of the wind, watching the steam rise on the water, and watching the clouds change through the skylight.
In addition to going to school, he is one of the few activities he is willing to leave the house, and most of the time he stays at home alone to study, and disassembles all the electrical appliances in the house, and then puts them back together, which is not tiring. He was frail and sickly from an early age, and his body began to be strong in his 10s. He learned to speak and walk several years later than other children his age. He plays a little bit of behavior that is not the same as ordinary people, and he can't play with the children around him. In addition, he has a withdrawn personality and is not good at interacting with people. So he doesn't have friends, but he doesn't need friends either.
Mr. Lau started school later than the rest of the children, but he did well in his schoolwork, and his classmates hated him more and more because his parents repeatedly compared him to him. He was a five-year-old fool who could only talk and walk, why did his grades be so good? He was ostracized and bullied in the class. Sometimes he returned to his empty home with a blue nose and swollen face, and took out a cold dinner from the refrigerator alone, and ate it directly without heating it. His parents work in the hospital and are busy, sometimes coming back in the middle of the night. His neighbor's kid stabbed him in school for wetting the bed as a teenager, and when he was at school, on the road, he met people far away from him, pointing fingers at him behind his back.
After he graduated from high school, he was admitted to a southern university to study computer science. At the train station, her mother saw her off. Thinking that her son would have to live alone more than 2,000 kilometers away from home, Liu's mother burst into tears. Liu Weiming doesn't have any sad emotions, if you don't have people to worry about or some good memories in your heart, you won't have any sad emotions when you leave a city.
In college, the withdrawn Liu Weiming still didn't make friends, but he fell in love with a girl named Juanzi. Juanzi is from Liaoning Province like him and is a fellow villager. They always sit together in class, close to each other, sometimes inadvertently there will be some physical contact, but Juanzi did not show any disgust, people around him joked that they were a couple, he quickly denied it, but she did not alienate him because of this.
Before meeting Juanzi, Liu Weiming had never been in contact with girls of the same age, nor did he have any thoughts of falling in love. But when he met her, he felt that he understood what love was. He began to wash his hair frequently, combed his hair neatly, dressed appropriately, and tried to communicate with the people around him, and the classmates around him gradually accepted him, and the loneliness of more than ten years gradually left him, and something called happiness grew in his heart.
One night, he saw a circle of people gathered downstairs in the girls' dormitory, which looked very lively. Although he is not as withdrawn as before, he still has some unspeakable fear of the crowd, and he always stays away from lively places. But just as he was about to leave, he stopped, and he seemed to hear Juanzi's name in the crowd, so he turned and squeezed into the crowd.
He saw a boy with hairspray on his head holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, standing in a circle of heart-shaped candles and shouting Juanzi's name to the girls' dormitory, and his brothers standing behind him cheering him on. Liu Weiming looked at all this enviously, thinking about putting himself in the position of that boy, he thought that he probably couldn't do this kind of thing in his life.
Juanzi ran down the stairs with a red face, would she refuse? Will she tell the stupid guy who confessed that she already has a heart? Liu Weiming fantasized.
But what she said was that I would do, and she was held in the arms of the boy and kissed passionately in the romantic candle flame and the sound of blessings from those around her. It's as beautiful as in a fairy tale, surrounded by laughter.
Liu Weiming looked at all this expressionlessly, he had a feeling of betrayal, and his heart was like a knife. He heard a few girls around him talking about how Juanzi and the boy had been together for a long time, and another said that she had guessed that they were going to be together. Some people around chimed in and said they could see it. Some people praised the boy for his courage and romance.
It turned out that he was the only one who had been kept in the dark, fantasizing about the love that belonged to him. He thought that the boy was holding Juanzi's hand and strolling along the path of the academy with fallen leaves, saying touching love words, and today's scene was just a natural thing.
He was reincarnated and left, his back was a little hunched, he looked tired, and his originally expressionless face finally had a little pain. But no one around noticed him. In the somewhat conservative '90s, it was very rare for someone to confess with a candle. At that time, in college, if someone found out that they were in love, they would be expelled for holding a small hand, let alone publicly confessing and kissing.
However, the boy's father was the vice principal of the school, and he wrote a review of the matter. The review was not so much an admission of mistakes as an open love letter that circulated between boys and girls, and the boy became a prominent figure on campus for a while. He would sometimes run to Juanzi's class and sit with Juanzi. Some teachers will not embarrass him when they see him, and some young lecturers will make fun of this matter during recess, everyone laughs, and he also graciously takes Juanzi's hand, and his words control the atmosphere of the whole classroom.
No one noticed that Liu Weiming sat in the corner of the last row, or that everyone chose to ignore him. He was no longer as tidy as he had been before, and a girl would not tell him that it was time for him to wash his hair, to wash his clothes, to clean his shoes, and to be refreshed. No girl would have helped him sort out the messy hat behind his back in spite of everyone's eyes.
