Chapter 1 Like a dream, not a dream

Next Chapter

It is an endless void, without light or heat, as if in a cosmic vacuum without any starlight.

After being silent for some time, a soft sigh sounded, "Did it start again?"

A figure slowly appeared, but it was as vague as this nothingness. It seemed to raise its hand, something like starlight, like a firefly, fluttering out of its hand, silently merging into the nothingness......

~

Today's No. 1 Middle School is very lively, with ribbons fluttering, flags flipping, loud school songs resounding throughout the campus, and banners hanging at the door revealing the reason for everything: "Nanxi City 20XX Graduation Ceremony"

At this moment, the school hall was full, and no matter how bright the decoration in the hall was, there was no dazzling smile on the faces of the graduates in the front row.

The white-haired, bony old headmaster walked up to the podium with a smile on his face, and the light of the spotlight began to move closer to the microphone in the center of the podium with the footsteps of the old headmaster.

Standing still, there was applause, and the old principal waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to be quiet. After the applause stopped, the old principal's vicissitudes but energetic voice began to spread throughout the venue with the microphone.

"Dear students and dear teachers, we are gathered today to bid farewell to our graduates. ”

"Many of my classmates have completed six years in our school, and I believe that everyone has feelings for our school, and indeed the school is your home, you are all my children, and I am a responsible parent for all of you."

Speaking of this, some female students in the audience began to quietly wipe their tears.

"But when the children grow up, they will eventually leave home, after all, the young birds that cannot do without the nest will never be able to spread their wings and soar. I believe that you will see a wider sky, understand more profound knowledge, and experience a more splendid life. ”

"And City No. 1 Middle School will always be your home, and it will always be the home of your spirit!"

The applause came more violently, like waves of waves, and many students applauded desperately to hide the red in the corners of their eyes.

"Oh mom, it's finally over, it's like this every year, can the principal have something new. Many teachers applauded, thinking to themselves.

The old principal enjoyed the applause of the students, and after a while, when the atmosphere began to decline, he continued to speak: "The students in the third year of high school will always have too much reluctance to give up on the campus, and then let's invite the student representative of the third year of high school to pour out his feelings for the school."

At this moment, everyone's eyes invariably looked at the figure sitting in the first row, it was a teenager, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of smart gray eyes flashing under the black hair bangs that were almost over the eyebrows.

The boy felt the gaze of his classmates and teachers, and his fairer face couldn't help but flush.

"Next, let's invite the president of the student union, Jiang Heng, to give a speech to you. ”

Jiang Heng slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, calmed the tension in his heart, then opened his eyes, stood up under everyone's gaze, and walked steadily towards the principal, with confidence in his smile.

I don't know if you know, Jiang Heng not only studies hard, unites his classmates, and actively responds to the work of the school. And just three days ago, he helped the police subdue a bag thief, and I think this spirit and camaraderie is worth learning from all of you. ”

This caused some small commotion in the audience, but it was quickly quelled by the teachers.

Jiang Heng calmly walked to the principal's side, took the microphone from his hand, and faced the teachers and students of the school.

After the principal stepped down from the stage, he quietly swallowed his breath and tried to make his words sound calm.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Heng from the first class of high school, and I'm ...... today"

Suddenly, a white light flashed from under Jiang Heng's feet, and immediately after, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Jiang Heng didn't know what was going on, she only felt that she was very light, as if she was flying, floating in the sky like a feather, a very strange feeling.

Looking down, everything in his eyes turned to a static black and white, with panicked students, teachers struggling to maintain order, and-

- On the dilapidated podium, the corpse wrapped in flames is himself......

In the Rhine Empire, on a small road from Biyan City to Shire Town, a simple but elegant carriage is slowly moving forward.

But the interior of the car has a completely different scene from the outside of the car, the decoration is simple but everywhere reveals luxury, people at a glance feel that the precious animal skin cushions are spread on the seats, the floor is covered with purple stripes, a little purple light is surging in the stripes, and on it, there is some kind of unknown but similar to velvet carpet, the magic crystal chandelier above the head illuminates everything, everything looks extraordinary.

At this time, a young man who was sitting on a cushion and was napping with his head tilted with one hand on his head suddenly woke up! Panting for breath in his mouth, he slowly sat up straight, feeling the sweat oozing from his palms and his heart beating wildly, before he began to look at the familiar scene in front of him.

At this time, a handkerchief was handed over, "Young master, what's wrong?

Across from her sat a young girl, who looked to be eighteen years old, with long black hair that was smooth like a waterfall on the pink and white maid dress she was wearing, and her blue eyes revealed concern for the young man in front of her.

Jiang Heng came back to his senses at this time, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard the girl's words of concern, he took the handkerchief with a smile and wiped the sweat on his head. "Thanks, Meisha, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I just dreamed of something bad. Just, I had a nightmare, no big deal. ”

But Jiang Heng's heart was not as calming as his words sounded, "Is this the last time?"

I don't know how long ago it started, maybe from my own memory, or even earlier, every time I sleeped, every time I dreamed, I would dream of him, another self.

I dreamed of a planet named Earth, a self named Jiang Heng in the People's Republic of China, his everything, life, relatives, and experiences...... It's so familiar, but so unfamiliar, it's like living in another world in a dream, one day on one's side during the day, one day at night, if you have a birthday here, it's the same over there, how many birthdays you live, two lives, the same person.

This is Jiang Heng's own secret, and he has never told anyone about it, whether it is his parents or Meisha.

After knowing that Jiang Heng had nothing to do, Mei Sha relieved herself and teased with a smile: "Could it be that you are too nervous, young master, after all, this is the first time you have officially taken up a position since graduating from the Imperial Royal Military Academy." ”

Jiang Heng put down his handkerchief and thought thoughtfully, "When you say this, I'm actually really nervous, I don't know if I can do a good job, this first job." ”

"Okay, young master, I'm sure you can do a good job, but..." Then the girl changed to a regretful tone, "But young master, your first appointment as a sheriff in a remote place like Shire Town that can't be found on the map is almost unattainable, I think it's really condescending, the master originally wanted to transfer you directly to the military department, and when he heard that the young master you were going to this place to be a sheriff, he was almost half angry." ”

Jiang Heng maintained a smile, "My father still loves me and respects my ideas, I can't stay in a place like the military department, besides," a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "We have other purposes there, don't we?"

Meisha sighed, "Alas, okay, okay, I listen to you, it's just that the master loves you" As if remembering something, she took out a half-person-high black bag from under the seat of the car, stretched out her hand and handed it to Jiang Heng, "The master asked me to transfer it to you." ”

"What is this?" Jiang Heng took it curiously, opened it and looked inside, then his face changed greatly, and he immediately grabbed the mouth of the bag tightly, and asked seriously, "Why are they here?"

Meisha smiled and said, "It's not the credit of this special storage bag, but the master spent a lot of money to order it." ”

Jiang Heng tied the mouth of the bag tightly, "My father would actually allow me to carry them, I really didn't expect it." ”

"By the way, Madame has something for me to pass on to you," Maisa then pulled out a pendant from her pocket, the chain was crystal clear, wrapped in Mithril, except that the place where the gem was supposed to be placed, was set into a black bead.

After Jiang Heng saw it, he sighed slightly: "It's still my mother's thoughtfulness, no wonder my father's private money will always be discovered." As he spoke, he took the pendant and put it around his neck.

Suddenly, Jiang Heng's entire person's aura changed dramatically, and the demon source that was wandering around him poured into Jiang Heng's body as if it had encountered a flood of venting.

On his chest, a badge on it, the symbol of a feather, slowly turned from red to white.

"In that case," he took a deep breath, "the preparations are pretty much the same." ”

Meisha took a pocket watch from her jacket pocket and looked at it. "Yes, and we're less than an hour away from our destination. ”

Jiang Heng lifted the curtain, opened the window, and let the breeze blow his fairer face.

Outside the car, the scenery of the dense forest, the trees on both sides of the road are dense, generally not high, but the posture is different, several birds are nesting there, singing, the green leaves are soothed by the warm sun, and if you look closer, you can also see some of the small beasts swimming and playing there.

Jiang Heng propped one elbow on the side of the car again, and looked at everything outside the car with his palm in his ear, "Really, a little looking forward to it." ”

The tone is calm, and it sounds like a casual emotion from enjoying the scenery outside the window.

But, "Is that dream the last time?" I guess it is, the story over there seems to be over. ”

Jiang Heng thought casually, and the corner of his eye swept over the woods again.

There was something in it that he didn't know and couldn't see, but one thing was for sure, there was definitely something extraordinary around him. Close the windows, close the curtains, and the whole car will return to its previous appearance and move slowly.

No one should have noticed that a wisp of wind blew and a dead leaf fell quietly.
