About 850 steps to the west, the tunnel slopes downward, and the bricks and stones on the four walls are getting more and more humid.

I judged that at this moment we were already directly below the Wulong Pond, and above our heads was the blue waves that the people saw every day. Of course, at this moment, Wulongtan is under siege by Japanese invaders, and I can't tell how dangerous it is.

Walking further on, the tunnel suddenly became extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass sideways.

After the narrow twenty paces, the tunnel gradually widened. After a while, it was a very narrow stretch again. After repeating this three times, we entered a triangular stone chamber with a faint light overhead.

The side of the stone chamber was about ten paces long, and when I looked up, I saw that the glimmer of light was coming in from the outside, and the light and shadow were hazy, and from time to time a large fish two feet long swam by. It turned out that a semi-transparent crystal plate similar to glass was installed on the top of the stone chamber, and the movement outside could be observed.

"This is it. Jingguan Xiaowu whispered.

Her voice was very strange, as if she was trying to suppress the great grief in her heart.

"What's wrong with you?" I looked at her.

"Mr. Xia, something very bad is about to happen here, we stay out of it, we can't change anything, we can only watch. When the time comes, when the time comes......" she suddenly took a step forward, holding a dagger in both hands, and brought it to me, "If I can't control myself, you can give me a ride with this dagger." ”

I didn't understand what she meant by "something bad", but I took the dagger and stuck it in my belt.

"Mr. Xia, we will have to wait patiently. She said.

"What are you waiting for?" I had to ask.

This triangular stone chamber is already the end of the tunnel, and there is no way forward. If the Ghostface Force finds the corpse of their companion, they will surely chase them down the tunnels.

"Wait for the moonlight to come. Jingguan Xiaowu leaned against the wall, her face full of fatigue. Later, unable to hold on, she slowly slid down and sat on her knees on the ground.

I carefully searched the three walls of the stone chamber, but found nothing. Obviously, the three walls were made of ordinary blue-striped stone, and the stone cracks were filled with ordinary mortar. The only thing worth paying attention to is that the top surface and the ground of the stone chamber are all made of crystal plates, but the ground is opaque, dark and dull, and I don't know how thick.

"Sit. Jingguan Xiaowu said.

I sat against the other wall, half-tilting my head and looking at the aquatic plants and swimming fish above me.

"The future must be bright, right?" she added.

I didn't know what she meant, so I just nodded in response.

"I want to forget someone, but I can't forget it. Or vice versa, I wanted to remember him, but I couldn't remember him. Would you like to help me?" she asked.

"I'd like to, but how can I help you?" I asked.

"Help me remember his face. She said.

"Whose face?" I asked again.

There were some subtle emotional entanglements between Zhang Quanzhong, Jingguan Xiaowu, and Little Maiden, and when this entanglement was mixed with war, everyone couldn't tell what was love, what was family affection, and what was admiration and worship. They needed time to clarify something, but fate didn't give them a little more time, as if it were a sudden brake, it ended in an instant, condensed into a freeze frame, and then it was not traceable.

"Yes. She nodded.

The fish overhead suddenly dispersed, and then I faintly heard the dull sound of gunfire. Later, a man's face appeared on the crystal plate.

The man was dead, but he still had a serene smile on his face, clinging to the crystal plate, like a portrait magnified dozens of times.

I jerked to my feet, stretched out my arms, and tried to touch the crystal roof.

The stone chamber was about two and a half meters high, and I stretched my arms to the limit, still half a foot away from the roof.

Zhang Quanzhong is dead, and he is dying in front of our eyes. So, I know that his attack on the headquarters of the occupying forces has failed before it has even begun. Now, we look at each other through the crystal plate, and he can't see it, and my eyes are cracked.

I didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of alarming Jingguan Xiaowu and breaking her liver and intestines.

"He's coming?" she asked suddenly.

It was as if my heart was being grabbed by a big hand, rubbing it desperately, and it hurt so much that I couldn't breathe.

"This is not a dream, although I have dreamed many times before, but I know very well that one day, there will be a time when I will no longer see him in a dream, but a real parting of life and death. We are thaumaturgists, we are divine operators, and even if we don't want to, we can calculate our own destiny. Well, that's it, whether I admit it or not, fate hit me hard again...... Please help me up, I'm just afraid I'm exhausted......" she said.

I turned around, and Jingguan Xiaowu was already holding her hands on the wall and struggled to get up.

"You...... You slow down. I hurriedly stepped over to help her.

As my left hand rested on her right wrist, I suddenly detected two heartbeats.

Only pregnant women will have a "heavy pulse", and I can conclude that Jingguan Xiaowu has been pregnant for at least three months.

"You...... You ......" I can't go on.

"It's Mr. Zhang's child, don't feel sorry for me. With my help, she got up, took three steps forward, and raised her head to face Zhang Quanzhong's face.

I became more and more sad, my throat choked, and I couldn't open my mouth to persuade me.

"That's fine...... That's fine...... It's okay, we can't change our fate, and fate can't change us. At the very least, it can't make our future worse, and it can't take away our children. Don't worry, I will tell her everything in the future, and let her know what a great father she had, who did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for the city of Jinan. Sleep in peace, and leave the rest of your time to me, all to me. Didn't you say that the lord of the merman will not die, and there will never be peace in Asia. You are recognized as the 'No. 1 God Operator in Jiangbei' in the world, and what you say will definitely come true. Therefore, we still have the opportunity to avenge today's hatred, the hatred of the snow country. When our child grows up, I will definitely train her to be the best thaumaturgist, let her hold high the banner of resistance against Japan, and follow the path you are taking today......" Jingguan Xiaowu said, with a smile on her face, tears in her eyes, and red blood overflowing from the corners of her mouth.

Zhang Quanzhong's face had been sticking to the crystal plate, and his eyes, which had lost their lustre, were wide open, staring at me and Jingguan Xiaowu underwater.

He knelt down in humiliation and begged seven other thaumaturgists to help him attack the occupation headquarters, and he once led the group of men to the west generously to divert the enemy's main force with the sound of the headquarters' explosions. Now, he died silently at the bottom of the Five Dragons Pond, and all his ambitions have been replaced by this pool of cold water.

"Something must have gone wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have been captured alive by the enemy so quickly!" I whispered.

"It's Xiaoling. Jingguan Xiaowu responded.

"Who is it?" I asked in a low voice, but then realized that "Xiaoling" was the name of the little girl.

"It's fate, you can't avoid it. Jingguan Xiaowu whispered.

I clenched my fists wordlessly, Zhang Quanzhong is a god operator, calculated that Xiaoling would turn against the water, and still died generously, naturally in order to divert the enemy's attention, he made a desperate bet to help Jingguan Xiaowu escape.

He exchanged his death for Jingguan Xiaowu's life, but this time we were hidden under the Five Dragons Pond, what are the chances of escaping? Especially when I know that after Jingguan Xiaowu became pregnant, the pressure on his shoulders was even greater, and he changed from protecting one person to protecting two people.

"Tragedy could have been avoided—" I gritted my teeth and stared at Zhang Quanzhong's face.

If I do it all over again, I can even sacrifice myself and go out on his behalf, and he will accompany Jingguan Xiaowu to escape.

The greatness of a man lies in this, he can give up his life for the sake of justice and justice, and let the blood be sprayed happily.

"It's fate, you can't hide from it. Your appearance is the greatest rising star, which made him make up his mind to take such a risk and act in such a play. He once said that as long as the next generation lives and continues his life and responsibility, he will smile at Jiuquan. Jingguan Xiaowu's voice has become mechanized, and the whole person seems to have turned into a shell, and his soul is gone, and he has gone with Zhang Quanzhong.

More gunshots came continuously, and someone behind Zhang Quanzhong was shot and fell into the water, naturally it was the group of Jinan thaumaturgists who followed him west.

If you want to act like a play, you can't do it. In my opinion, those thaumaturgists who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who live in the world, have ended up like this, and they all deserve to die.

In this human tragedy, the most unworthy one is Zhang Quanzhong, because he already has a child. What a tragic thing it must have been for that child to be born without a father.

The crystal plate gradually lit up, and it turned out that a full moon had risen into the sky at that time, overlooking the entire city of Jinan.

"The moonlight is coming, and it's about to begin. Jingguan Xiaowu muttered.

The moonlight grew brighter and brighter, passing through the pool and crystal slabs, directly at our feet.

The dark ground was also lit up, and in the endless depths, there were many shadows of castles and houses.

"This is the change that Mr. Zhang calculated, don't be afraid, everything has already been decided, the sky is bright, and the future is prosperous......" Jingguan Xiaowu half-closed her eyes, only her chapped lips twitched slightly.

I have no worries about my future, I am only worried that I will not be able to live up to Zhang Quanzhong's entrustment and not be able to protect Jingguan Xiaowu and let her and the fetus in her womb be harmed.

The moonlight gradually became stronger, the triangle room was as bright as day, and the image below the ground was as clear as an aerial photograph.

I fixed my mind to distinguish, and the one standing proudly in front of the right side of the ground seemed to be the tallest building in the green space of Jinan City.

"How so?

I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately opened my arms and hugged Jingguan Xiaowu tightly in my arms. If the stone chamber collapses, at least I can arch my back and block the masonry for her.

"Mr. Xia, let's ......" Jingguan Xiaowu called out, but I didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly.

The stone chamber spun around, and I barely managed to stand with her in my arms, but soon stumbled and fell.

"Keep the kids......" I shouted.

This is my only thought, that is Zhang Quanzhong's flesh and blood, he is kind to Jinan City, we must explain to him.

For a long time, I seemed to be in a deep coma. I couldn't open my eyes at all, my ears were buzzing, and my tongue was so astringent that I couldn't move.

Someone moved me, someone stuck a needle in my wrist, but I didn't feel any pain.

"Keep the child, keep the child......" I shouted desperately, but my throat was hard, there was no trace of saliva, and the voice was all muffled under the Adam's apple, and I couldn't scream.

"Doctor, doctor, let's inject him with Demerol again, he is sweating in pain...... Please, doctor, the last one, the last one, please......" A woman called.

The voice was familiar, but it wasn't Jingguan Xiaowu.

I fell into a deep sleep, and my face was always shaking in front of me.

"If I catch Xiaoling, I'll skin her alive. "When I was sober, I gritted my teeth and was furious. She must have fallen in love with Zhang Quanzhong, thinking that letting the Japanese catch him was equivalent to saving her love.

Women in love are stupid, and there are endless moles like her in history, but they have no good ends, harming others and themselves, and leaving a stench for thousands of years.

Suddenly, my eyes opened, my ears heard a sound, and I sat up.

I am not in the triangular stone room at the bottom of the Five Dragons Pond at the moment, but lying in a neat and white hut. Pale golden sunlight shines through the white curtains, and it should be another quiet dusk.

"Are you awake?" the woman sitting by the bed jumped up in joy.

I looked back at her, of course she was not Jingguan Xiaowu.

"What about people, what about her?" I asked urgently.

"Who?" the woman froze.

"Jingguan Xiaowu, and her children! What about her?

The woman was completely stunned, and her beautiful eyes were wide open, looking at me in a daze.

I rolled over and got out of bed and hurried out.

"Summer Stone, where are you going, where are you going?" the woman followed closely.

When I went out, I found a long white corridor outside, and from time to time women in white clothes passed by. For a moment, I didn't even know where I was.

"Xia Shi, what are you crazy about? After being in a coma all night, did you hit a ghost or an evil spirit?" the woman grabbed my arm and roared in a low voice.

I shook my head vigorously, my temples swelled and ached, and the green tendons on my forehead jumped suddenly, and I couldn't help but snort in pain.

"Do you want me to call a doctor?" the woman asked with concern.

"Who are you?" I asked, leaning against the door frame and smiling wryly.

She froze again, turned to me, and stared firmly into my eyes.

"Have you forgotten who I am?" she asked.

My mind was full of Jingguan Xiaowu, and I couldn't calm down to think about the other party's identity.

"I'm Lianchengbi. She had no choice but to report herself.

I was startled and looked around, not believing that I had broken free from the distant illusion.

Of course, she is a beautiful woman who has fought side by side with me countless times, and she is also the future head of the Qin King Society.

"Is it you, is it you?" I took a deep breath, my feet limp, and I was unsteady on my feet.

Lian Chengbi hugged me and helped me back to bed.

"I'll ring the bell and call the doctor, you're lying down. She said.

After the bell rang, two middle-aged doctors wearing myopia glasses came in together, one holding a stethoscope and the other holding a flashlight, and examined me up and down.

"Miss Lian, the patient is fine, everything is normal. Moreover, patients do not need to be injected with Demerol, but need to eat well and increase nutrition. A doctor said with a grin.

I stared at the two of them coldly, wondering what was funny.

"Thank you, Dr. Li, thank you, Dr. Fang. "Lian Chengbi sent them out very politely.

I stared out the window at the sunset, and Jingguan Xiaowu's grief-stricken appearance resurfaced in my mind.

"I'm here, where is she?" Now, I had made a distinction between illusion and reality, but my heart was filled with guilt.

Zhang Quanzhong entrusted his women and descendants to me, and before I could finish it, I instantly became a deserter and returned to my world, leaving only a pregnant and grieving woman in the tunnel. In my lifetime, I really can't forgive myself.

Lian Chengbi came back quietly, poured a glass of water, and put it on the head of the bed.

"I'm sorry. I was ashamed to speak.

"What is there to be sorry for? Those two policemen have been here many times, and they are the ones who should say sorry. If they hadn't left you, you wouldn't have fallen on the side of the road and been in a coma for fourteen hours. I thought you'd never wake up, and you're ready to be in a vegetative state. Lian Chengbi's eyes turned red silently.

We have experienced so much together, both friends and foes, and at the same time mixed with inexplicable feelings between men and women.

"Thank you, the first thing I saw when I woke up was you, and I was already very satisfied. I say from the bottom of my heart.

After careful calculation, except for Tang Wan, what I would like to see the most is Lianchengbi. She's here, at least I'm at ease.

"Well, I'm glad you can say that. What do you want to eat for dinner? I ordered Quehuaju's vegetarian meal, if it doesn't suit your taste, we can order again. She laughed with tears in her eyes.

I sat up and drank the glass of water in one go, and suddenly felt empty in my stomach, and I longed to eat a big meal, and to offset my mental distress with material satisfaction.
