A few days later, on the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, the small town of Yoruk ......

The night is getting deeper, heavy dark clouds are piled up in the sky, and the thick clouds block the starlight in the sky, and the whole sky is gloomy and a little scary.

At some point, a gust of wind began to blow, and from time to time a bolt of lightning jumped out of the dark cumulus clouds, and then a thunderclap sounded, and only a few scattered figures could be seen on the streets of the town, and these people were hurrying to their homes.

However, while most of the pedestrians on the street were hurrying to their feet, a tall and thin young man was still strolling down the street, seemingly unconcerned about the impending rainstorm.

The man was in his twenties, dressed in a neat black suit, with a top hat on his head, his right hand holding the brim to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and a bouquet of fresh chrysanthemums in his left arm.

The man paced slowly on the road, and after a while, with a thunderstorm, the sky suddenly crackled and sprinkled with bean-sized raindrops, but in just half a minute, the rain had gradually become heavier, and the man in the suit holding Bai Ju was almost soaked.

The rain dripped down the brim of his hat, but the man in the suit did not speed up or slow down, still maintaining the same speed as before.

The lights on both sides of the road came on, and there was no one in sight on the wide street at this time, with the exception of the man in the suit, of course.

In the face of the fierce wind and rain, the man walked slowly through the deserted street, until he reached the corner at the end of the street, and then he turned and walked in.

Entering from the corner of the street, a garden was instantly caught in the man's eyes, and standing in front of the open gate of the garden, the man in the suit hesitated for a moment, then looked down at the bouquet in his arms, and then walked into the garden.

The garden is very empty, with tall cedar trees planted on both sides, slightly old street lamps embedded in the trees, and in the middle are rows and rows of extremely neat tombstones.

Obviously, this is a cemetery.

The man in the suit glanced around, then walked straight to a tombstone and stood still, he looked down at the two names engraved on the tombstone, his eyes showed a hint of remembrance, and the corners of his mouth also rose, revealing a faint smile.

After stopping in front of the monument for a moment, he put down the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hand, took one last look at the two names, and then turned and walked towards the back of the cemetery.

"Tuk Tuk ......" "Tuk Tuk ......"

Approaching the door of a small bungalow in the corner at the back of the cemetery, the man reached out and tapped on the door twice, and heard a rustling sound from inside the room, followed by the twitching of a lock, and the door opened.

An old white man with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and an old sweater poked his head out, and the old man's cloudy eyes looked at the man in the suit, and he frowned and asked:

"You ......"

"John, long time no see......"

The man in the suit took off his top hat, shook off the remaining rain on it, and greeted the old man with a smile.

"You ......"

Hearing this, the old man named John squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the young man in front of him a few more times, and when he saw his face clearly, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes, but he still asked uncertainly: "Are you Jay?"

The man in the suit patted the water stains on his clothes, didn't make a sound, just smiled and nodded his head.

"Jay...... When did you come back?"

His brows stretched instantly, and the old man John burst into a smile, and then saw him in wet clothes, and then glanced at the raindrops that fell in the darkness of the light, and hurriedly changed his words: "Why don't you take an umbrella when it's raining?" Come in, your clothes are almost soaked. ”

"It's just a little rain, nothing ......"

Jay smiled indifferently, his palm still tapping the water stains on his clothes, but this time after he rubbed his clothes back and forth a few times, a faint mist suddenly appeared all over his body, and his clothes dried out a lot as the fog rose.

This scene was naturally clearly seen by John, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask more, because there have been too many strange things in the world in the past few years, and he doesn't feel too strange if he has seen more...... Although these are all things he saw on the news.

After pulling Jay into the house, John hurriedly brought two chairs, made two cups of coffee, and sat with him by the fireplace to make a fire.

As soon as he sat down, John found that his clothes, which had been wet from the rain, had been completely dried, and there was not even a single wrinkle left in his trousers, as if they had been ironed out.

"Jay ......"

Staring at the smiling faces of the people beside him, John asked in confusion, "Didn't you get taken to school in New York State by that Mr. Marcuri? Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"The tutor gave us a few days off, so we rushed back. Jay replied casually.

Seeing him put his top hat on the table beside him, John smiled and said, "You're back to worship your parents, right?"

"Yes. ”

Jay nodded and said, "But I want to ask you something by the way when I come back this time?"

"What's the matter?"

Taking a big sip of coffee from the table, Jay frowned slightly and asked, "I want to ask what happened in the United States recently, and ...... What's going on with that army unit stationed outside town?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, John couldn't help but sigh lightly, puzzled: "Haven't these things been reported on the news for a long time? Don't you know?"

“......”

Jay pursed his lips and explained, "My school is a bit special, it's completely closed. ”

"Even a fully closed school should be ......"

John was still puzzled, but before he could say more, Jay interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said, "John, don't ask so much, I'll tell you if I have the opportunity in the future, and now you can tell me what happened." ”

"Okay. ”

Nodding his head, John saw a slight change in Jay's expression, and listened to his words, so he didn't choose to ask again, but thought about the wording for a while, and began to state the questions he had just asked him.

Jay didn't interject as he spoke, just sat and listened quietly, taking a sip of coffee from time to time.

More than ten minutes later, when he was no longer speaking, Jay's brow suddenly furrowed, and he glanced at John thoughtfully.

"The Ladistud has declared war on the United States through terrorist attacks, and the two sides have officially started a tug-of-war on the border? The Mexican side has also been involved, and the troops stationed outside the town are there to escort the townspeople to move in the near future?"

Staring at the lonely old man beside him who had watched him grow up, thinking of this place where he grew up, Jay couldn't help but take a deep breath and think about it.

"Da Da ......" "Da Da ......"

But at this moment, a particularly loud sound of horses' hooves stomping the ground suddenly came from a distance and fell to the ears of Jay and John.

"It's ......"

John looked sideways out the window, thinking he was hallucinating, but before he could go to the window to look, he saw Jay suddenly look up and stand up.

"John, it's time for me to go. ”

Jay put the cup on the table, then reached out and took out a stack of things from the inner pocket of his suit and put it next to him, then took the top hat in his hand, turned to look at John, and said softly, "Take care of yourself, I'll come back to see you next year if you don't leave town." ”

With that, he didn't wait for John to respond, he turned around and ran out quickly.

"Uh......"

When Jay disappeared into the room, John recovered from his stupor, walked to the table and looked at the cup, and saw that it was a stack of bills, and without thinking much about it, he hurried to the door again.

The rain loomed in the dim light of the streetlights, and as far as the eye could see, there was no one in the cemetery except for the two rows of cedar trees and neat tombstones.

But just as he was looking at the empty cemetery and was stunned, he suddenly heard two wings flapping not far away.

Looking up in the direction from which the voice came, in the dark night, John saw two huge black shadows swing through the rain curtain into the air, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
