The sky is a watery blue, the thin clouds are a tender pearl color, the vast sky has not yet been baked by the sun into a porcelain bright color, and the sound of birds and birds in the slightly undulating dark green canopy can be as crisp and pleasant as dew before the heat rises, all of which belong to a beautiful morning in early July.

Petra walked slowly in the shade of the weeping banyan and phoenix trees, and flocks of finches calling friends jumped and jumped over his head. He looked up and could see the birds in the shredded new sun looking at him curiously, chubby and undaunted, turning their heads to respond loudly when they heard the call of their neighboring companions, and cocking their orange buttocks.

How long has it been since he had enjoyed such a peaceful morning? He walked all the way through the trembling forest path, and a lake appeared in front of him—

The lake, the same color as the soft and clear sky at the moment, is slightly rippling.

It's like dreaming of peace. He walked to the lake, and found his friend in the quiet gazebo, who was as unreal as a dream—

"Sheng ......" still felt extremely illusory when he spoke, but the beautiful young man who was sleeping comfortably on the gazebo turned slightly sideways and smiled at him.

"Good morning. "It's still the same clear sound as a mountain spring, and the beautiful light-colored pupils have not changed.

"Why?" Petra had so much to confirm, but she didn't know where to start.

"The Soul Altar I planted at the beginning of my reign has left me with a glimmer of life, and your biological father mended me into a complete spirit out of curiosity. Sheng didn't mind, and calmly told him the truth that he should know.

"Then you-"

"Always alive, Lan Shi, as Jean Ronuss. Sheng stretched out his hand to the sun, the whole person was slender and fair, and still looked as weak as a butterfly that had just broken through the chrysalis, "The spirit body is too unstable, I still have to come back and get my body back, and now I am finally complete." ”

"But why are you—" Why do you keep refusing to tell me you're alive?

"I've been through something too," Sheng naturally understood his confusion, and Sheng sat up and smiled bitterly at him, "There are some reasons that can't be said yet." ”

"But—"

"But even if I can't say, have I ever given up on conveying it? I just want you to get to know me again and accept the way I am now, as Tono wants and likes. ”

Petra laughed self-deprecatingly, "But I didn't recognize it, I-"

"Because you think I'm going to be a substitute, and it's going to insult your past and hurt me," Sheng's smile was soft and bitter, "I know." But I also don't have a chance to make you understand that Tono has grown up and has become different...... It's not too late, right? ”

"I didn't think there should be any hope......"

"It really shouldn't be, it's a miracle that even I can't believe I'm alive. Sheng, who said this, jumped lightly and landed in front of him.

is still the dragon and phoenix silver clothes woven by the goddess curtain, and the body is still weak, but those eyes are stronger than before, and they have found their own ideals, and they accept all bad luck unswervingly.

"Shall you go back? I think the kids and my brother should wake up. Walking around so naturally, the boy really exists.

"Hmm. ”

"Have you spoken to the head of the headquarters?"

"Not yet, he's at your house, and I always feel a little embarrassed to look at it from afar, your friend pulled me out, called Carlos? ”

"Stupid deer...... Sheng couldn't help but smile, "Although he is not very reliable, he is still a good person." ”

"It's not reliable, but when dealing with his mother, he also commanded the pure spirit in the old city, I think he is not serious on the surface, but he is a very capable and thoughtful person. ”

"He's also a sage adjutant, and he's doing the same job as me. Sheng smiled and walked in front of him, turned around and asked, "Have you seen the emperor?"

"I've seen it, a very serious and shy person, I heard that his ability is very special when I was in Yan Yingyuan before, but it should be difficult to use?"

"Yes, there are always costs and rules. This time...... Because it was a desire to change his life, in the end, it seemed to have nothing to do with him. ”

"Change your life?"

"Well, my brother made a wish to him after he came......" Sheng looked at the blue sky through the mottled shadows of the trees, and a soft smile appeared on his beautiful side face that he had never had before, "May all the creatures of the Demon King survive this disaster." ”

"It's happening. It's the rule that you can't protect the dead, right?"

"Paris them...... It's a shame. There is no way to save it, and it is impossible to let them do evil, and the fate of the deceased cannot be changed. ”

"But everyone else is alive, and the damage of the deceased has been minimized. ”

"Maybe. Haven't you ever thought that we weren't dead, have you talked to the evil lord?"

"No, they probably think that they have a special identity here, and they don't know where to go after the battle. ”

This is very normal, Sheng nodded: "Maybe you shouldn't call the evil lord or Yuzhangjun anymore...... It's just Nobueda and Kluet. ”

"Have the nine kings of Yan Ying become synthetics?" Petra asked.

"No, that's not the case," Sheng smiled bitterly and lowered his eyelashes, "At that time, the primordial synthetic beast was indeed attached to the Beastmaster Ding, but those who survived the tempering, except for my brother and me, probably only Sister Dengzhi and the four of them...... Well, four. ”

"The four murderers, the seniors of Baili and the eldest sister of the soldiers-"

Facing his doubts, Sheng smiled and nodded: "I found it, but the situation is not as good as ours...... Maybe there will be a chance to recover in the future, but the synthetic beast experiment is like the sword of Damocles, and it really can't be said to be a good thing. ”

"There won't be any more dead in the future, right?"

"Perhaps, what we are afraid of is the unknown, and what secrets are there now?"

"Petra," Sheng couldn't help but pause at this point, "I'm really sorry for not telling you the truth all this time...... But how can I have the courage to confess that I am Tono Sheng? Everyone has decided that Tono Sheng should look like, Tono Sheng should be a strange strategist, and he should always manipulate thousands of dark lines in such a despicable way...... But back then, Tono Sheng would still grow into an adult, maybe he would be rich, maybe he would be stupid, the reality is always difficult to surpass memories, I am afraid that I will disappoint you, and I am afraid that the past will ruin my current career......"

Because reality is always difficult to surpass memories, and the past self is so flamboyant and prominent, as if it will become a fake of yourself if you are not careful. But—

"But I finally stood up from behind my brother, as you can see, I'm just such a weak, flawed ordinary existence, this is my growth, please forgive Tono Sheng for not being mysterious and not beautiful......" The posture of the young man in the morning light can finally be so fearless and bright, "I just want to be a dutiful heavenly punisher, to be a better self." ”

That's fine. Petra smiled softly, "I've always understood that Jean is what you want to be, and that's good." ”

"But there will be no difference between the two in the future, exposing the past will give my enemies a chance-" Walking calmly in the sun, Sheng smiled and looked straight ahead, "But there is no need to be afraid, I am Tono Sheng, and I will accept all challenges." ”

That's right, Tono Sheng is such a weak and strong existence, following him under the sunny sun, Petra finally feels that the sky is no longer depressed by the body and mind.

"Summoning you back was a long-made idea, but it's actually ...... My brother didn't know about it for a long time, and he was originally against me having a connection with you......" It can be seen that he is really defending He Yanfang, Sheng explained hard, "I hope you can understand his feelings, after Heishui Ji, his opponents are your parents." ”

"The seniors later went to the Blue World, I can understand...... He and your head of headquarters must hate my father, right?" Petra believed she could transcend blood, "I'll prove that I can trust." ”

Sheng stared at his serious face and said softly, "You can do it." ”

"Teacher!" they entered the door and saw that the cafeteria was full of children, and Ivan, who was eating breakfast, had a loud voice and was full of energy.

"Shhhh Probably having already experienced the grief of Paris dying in battle, this time everyone seemed much calmer.

"It seems that her parents are not so approving of her entering the heavenly punisher. Ivan observed in detail.

Ataya nodded: "She's a princess, there was no need for that...... But I think her parents would have agreed. ”

"Someone as stubborn as her, where can she still talk. Harden chuckled, and Ellie, who finished the call, rolled her eyes at him.

"Looks like you're almost recovered, and after the battle, watching you pass out one after another, to be honest, I'm a little scared. Sheng said and looked at Cedar Pine's slightly trembling appearance as he scooped porridge, and smiled lightly, "Xiao Song just woke up?"

Abel helped Cedar serve the conpoy lean porridge, and said with a smile: "He's overdrawn too much, but it should be fine, and it will be fine in a while." ”

Sheng took Petra to sit down, and then there was a knock on the door outside the wide open door, and the ghost mountain dragonfly carrying the snack box paused under their gaze: "...... Ah, good morning guys. ”

It's always a little awkward, Harden looked at him, and asked with a smile as he vacated the seat: "Ghost Mountain Dragonfly, this is not very cooked, right?"

"Don't call me like that anymore, I'm resigning!" the white-robed young man said generously, "Call me Sun Rin, Sun is Sun Wukong's grandson, and Rin is a righteous and awe-inspiring Rin." ”

Several of those present had heard of the name. But Selena froze suddenly, and then hesitated to ask: "You say- ...... are you?"

"Sun Rin. The boy stared at her, a smile in his eyes. Under everyone's gaze, he finally took off the mask and hat that covered his face, revealing a black hair and a fair face with tongs burned by the usual curls.

After a second pause, Sally stood up tremblingly, bypassing Harden and hugging the boy tightly.

"Harden, do you regret giving him a seat?" Looking at Harden's incredible face, Ivan couldn't help but laugh.

"You. Harden glared at him viciously, and then frowned at Sun Rin, who was holding the girl's doting smile.

"My father is Sun Chongdao, the former Heavenly Punisher of the Blue World Headquarters, and my mother is the Xuanshi beauty Ta Jianna," Rebecca, who was holding an egg tart in her hand, introduced with a smile, "This is a pair of twin brothers and sisters who have been reunited for a long time, Sun Rin and Sun Rin Li." ”

"Oh, that's great, Sally!" Ataya immediately congratulated.

“...... Are you still alive?" after all, it was a death experience, and Harden was really worried.

"Well, I've come back from a round in hell," finally able to sit in calmly, Sun Rin opened his snack box, "six years have been lost in vain." From now on, we will be companions, so please give us a lot of advice. ”

"You eat one first. Harden demanded bluntly.

"I'm here to poison you, aren't you looking for death?" Sun Rin sandwiched a piece of taro cake and ate it, Abel smiled at him, and began to eat it.

After eating a snack, Carlos looked at Sheng and asked, "It's going to be a little troublesome, isn't it?" ”

"What's the trouble with that, the city is almost restored, and there will be no problems with the handover. ”

"I've heard that they've been exterminating monsters with the branch since they arrived in Future City, and it's going to be very tiring. Rebecca said.

"Yes," the two days were still running for follow-up affairs, and Sheng seemed to be sleep-deprived, "After the empress was eliminated, the demon clan fell into chaos and riots, and now it is almost under control." ”

"Did you catch all the ghosts?" asked Harden.

Sheng shook his head at this: "There are still Anya the evil witch and Dr. Calvin the corpse left, and they all ran away. ”

"Speaking of which......" Harden suddenly remembered something, "did we miss anyone?"

"Who?" asked Cedar, confused.

"Ryan, Ryan Reese. He used to have a good relationship with us, but what happened to him?"

"The eldest sister seems to like him, but he ......," Ataya struggled to recall, "yes, where did he go afterward?"

"He's ......" Cedar vaguely remembered, "Who?"

"The one who disappeared silently is the one who died differently, right?" Han Feng asked.

"No, he doesn't have much to do with us, and we don't recall his death, no. Ellie shook her head.

"Then who is he, and what?" Zhaohua thought bitterly, but had no clue.

"Then there are a lot of questions," Ivan began to wrench his fingers, "for example, who is the Onishan Terro, did the Guishan Silver Rat escape, and why did Qin Yuan betray the Meridian Academy?"

Sure enough, there are still many mysteries...... Cedar also thought in distress: "Yonghe is gone, is he a dead person, or is he and Qin Yuan both betrayers?"

"The deceased we can confirm are different from Paris and Teng Xueyao, as well as armadillo, upper Bai Ze envoy, and lower Bai Ze Mingyin. It happened suddenly, and we didn't seem to be able to communicate with them properly......" Rebecca flipped through her notes and sighed rarely, "It's really gone all of a sudden." ”

"When it comes to the Bai Ze brothers and sisters, I think the most worrying thing is how to welcome the new person in charge of the Demon Palace," Sheng sighed lightly, "Shang Bai Ze Xinfang. ”

"That's ......" guessed half a point, Cedar frowned.

Sheng sighed lightly and nodded: "The father of the envoy, Mingyin and Yu Xuan." ”

"All the children are ......" Zhaohua was a little unbearable.

"It's not anyone's fault, but I'm afraid my brother won't be able to greet him...... And I'm a little embarrassed," Sheng smiled at Cedar again, "Looks like I'll have to let Komatsu go on his own." ”

"Me?" Cedar was stunned for a moment, and his expression became even more troubled.

"In the future, I'll let you take on some of the affairs of the Academy," Sheng's expression was reassuring to Cedar, "You're a man who can take responsibility, Komatsu." ”

Although there were bumps and bumps along the way, I was indeed different. But what can be done now, Cedar shook his head: "But ......"

"It's okay, and if Mr. He is not suitable to greet him, there is a reliable person now, right?" Rebecca winked at him, "It's okay." ”
