Chapter 4: The Past

"What are you looking at?" said Spiceton as he walked over to the Gambler.

The gambling snake looked at the mountains in front of him, his eyes were deep and thoughtful. The thin oxygen and sub-freezing temperatures didn't seem to have any effect on the already cold man.

"Look at my past. The gambling snake replied.

"Your past is spectacular, and it doesn't seem to be a good fit for the average person. Pieton made a conscious joke.

Gambling snakes don't usually laugh, and this time is no different: "Years ago, when I first left the city, I thought I had changed something, but when I set foot on the land again a few months ago, I found that nothing had changed. ”

"That's why you joined the Reverse Cross?" Spellton said, "Because you believe that what Qianying can't do, Tianyi can do." ”

"People need ideals to live, I once tried to bury my ideals, erase the past, and live an ordinary life, but then I realized that the world is too dirty, even if I find a clean place to live this life, I am just deceiving myself.

My path in life has not been my choice since childhood, but I have no regrets about my past experiences. I serve the light, cultivate the darkness, and cleanse the filthy soul with the blood of sin. I want to create a new world where children can choose their own path to the future, rather than resign themselves to a predestined fate. The gambling snake replied: "And Tianyi is the only answer I have found so far." ”

"It's good to have ideals, but I think your idea will never come true. "Mankind always wants to create heaven, but our paradise itself is ugly," Shipton said. It is true that the current empire is very rotten, but in a few hundred years, when we look back at history, we will definitely say that they were also great, they united the whole earth, they contributed to national integration, racial problems, language simplification, etc.

Suppose that one day the empire really falls, and it is replaced by another force, maybe us, maybe someone else, in short, it is replaced by some people, and your ideal world is really realized. But for how long?

It is only a matter of time before any human dynasty will fall and perish. People pinned their hopes on the character and inheritance of the emperor, the consciousness and self-examination of the bureaucracy. This is the most typical foolishness. One day, those in power will abandon morality and responsibility, no longer pursue fairness and freedom, and driven by **, human will is not worth mentioning at all. Even aging, a natural phenomenon, can easily change a person's mind, and we humans ...... What is it?"

The Gambling Snake turned his face away and glanced at him, "Is that what the Night Knight has concluded...... The inferiority of the whole race is destined to allow individuals to adapt and change, and it is also destined to be a kind of reincarnation......"

"I'm just talking, I'm a mercenary, I don't have any firm position, and I don't have your so-called ideals. Specton said, "Maybe one day, I'll leave the organization for my own safety." But at least for now, I feel much safer to join you than to stay outside of the Cross. ”

The gambling snake sneered: "Then you can see our boss and this organization as too simple." ”

"Have you had enough chatting between the two of you, scouting is not looking at the scenery, but looking for things. A white-haired, two-meter-tall snow monster appeared behind the two of them, and as if complaining, a human word popped out of his mouth.

"You're hiding in an air-conditioned room playing with remote-controlled Bigfoot, we're too cold to move here. Spellton looked back.

The marshal said unhappily: "Nonsense, if I had your physique, I would build a big mechanical dog and go out to reconnoiter on it." ”

Twin Eagle County, Yakutsk, bookstore.

Tianyi collapsed in the long-lost sofa chair, leaned his feet on the table, and looked at an old newspaper, which was about ten days ago, and the headline was that the third prince, Victor Wittstock, had died in an accident during his travels, and the local governor had resigned. For the untimely death of His Royal Highness the Prince, the whole country mourns.

In fact, Tianyi had already read some books of the heart related to Victor's death, and he just wanted to see what the announced news looked like, so that he could make a more accurate guess about the whole incident.

At this time, someone pushed open the door of the bookstore and came in, but it was not a customer, but a moon demon who went out to take takeout.

Tianyi put down the newspaper, glanced at her, and said casually, "It's hard work." ”

The moon demon glared at him, struggling to adjust his breathing before calming down. She walked to Tianyi's desk and put down the things in her hand: "If it weren't for my lunch being in there, I would have thrown it in your face just now." ”

Tianyi replied nonchalantly: "The microwave oven is over there." ”

"You're my son, heat yourself up!" she moved a chair and sat down.

"I don't want to have a hot meal, how do you say that your child will marry in the future. Tianyi picked up the takeout and walked towards the microwave.

The moon demon picked up a book and smashed it on the back of his head: "You're my dad, so much nonsense!"

Closing the door of the microwave oven and setting the time, Tianyi scratched the back of his head and said, "Where did we talk about yesterday?"

"Phased operation of change. The Moon Demon said, "Aren't you a genius?

"I'm a genius, but you're a fool, so I'm going to test you. ”

This time a book was thrown in Tianyi's face.

"If you could read all these random books, you might be a little smarter. ”

"If you weren't so cheap, maybe you wouldn't have been thrown away. ”

Tianyi sighed: "I am in my busy schedule, and I can find time to guide you in the knowledge of those who are able, and your attitude is still so bad. ”

"Your so-called busy schedule is to let me, the accountant, and Zuo Dao buy you takeaway from different stores every time, and then curl up in a chair and read some ......" She randomly picked up a book in the pile of books in the corner of her desk: "Words like 'The Merchant of Venice' to pass the time." ”

"It's a good story, a celebration of love and devotion. ”

"It's out of place for you. ”

"That's why I think it's a veritable 'comedy'. Tianyi smiled, just as the microwave oven prompt sounded, he turned around and took out the takeaway.

"So, how does the Reverse Cross work, like this? Doing nothing all day?" the Moon Demon asked.

Tianyi brought the food to the table and pushed the Moon Demon's share in front of her: "You have finished my class and mastered your own abilities before you can go out on a mission like other members." If you are slightly stimulated, you will become a monster, and I'm afraid it will be embarrassing. ”

"I must have more self-control than you think, otherwise I would have torn you apart the first time I saw you. The Moon Demon replied.

"Huh...... Trust me, I don't have to imagine, I know exactly where your bottom line is. Without warning, Tianyi grabbed the moon demon's hand: "It's nothing so far, but ......" He reached over with his other hand and stroked her cheek: "This won't work." ”

The moon demon's eyes turned red, and the monster inside her seemed to be on the verge of awakening.

"You take your claws away now, and I can act as if nothing happened. Her tone was serious.

Tianyi withdrew his hand and sat down again: "You haven't lost control, it's because of the lessons in the past few days that your control over your abilities has changed. He paused: "I said, I know exactly what induces your awakening. General physical contact doesn't matter, for example, if you take the initiative to post it that day, it doesn't hurt.

There are two key points to your transformation, the first is the instinctive reaction to danger, such as severe pain and injury, fear, the instinct to fight in the face of strong enemies, etc., and the second, sexual innuendo, most mutants' abilities are discovered during puberty, and for a reason. I think you must be very distressed, since you have a little bit of understanding, those guys who have a crush on you just hold your hand with you, or half-jokingly hug you from behind, and you kill them. So your emotions towards men have changed, and you have to have a hatred all the time, if not hatred, at least not a good feeling, otherwise a small act may make you kill the person you like. ”

"Do you know too much?" the Moon Demon looked at Tianyi suspiciously.

"Isn't that the reason why you left Xingtian? What a poor fellow, a friend of the opposite sex who has just become acquainted, thought it was nothing to reach out and touch his face, what age is this, do you need to kill someone? After that, you will naturally not be able to stay in Xingtian, because even if you explain it clearly, they have no reason to forgive your actions. ”

The Moon Demon's expression changed significantly: "How did you find ......?"

"It's so easy, when you tell me your real name, I'll be able to piece together your past sitting in the bookstore. Tianyi replied: "I will explain the principle to you later, now, can you please control your emotions, eat something, and then return to the class." ”

The Moon Demon picked up the plastic cutlery and reminded him in disbelief: "Since you know my past, you should understand that once Xingtian learns that I have joined the Reverse Cross ...... now."

"What can they do?" interrupted, "Let me sacrifice your head in memory of the dead brethren?" he laughed, "You don't have to worry about the situation of people like me." ”

"I'm just worried about my situation. She replied.

"Say whatever you want. Tianyi: "Anyway, you should be clear by now, when you can't see, I'm 'busy' with something." ”
