Chapter 54: Parting
On August 21, 2019, in bedroom 402, Nie Kai was silently packing his luggage.
One week has passed since the attack, during which in addition to the director, three more trainees involved in the operation died of serious injuries and passed away. In this regard, the college did not show too much concern, nor did they ask the police for help to find the whereabouts of the murderer. It was just the usual practice to tell the parents of the deceased that their child had died in an accident, and then give them a large amount of comfort.
As for Qiya, who also died in the incident, because she was not a member of the academy and no family members came to investigate, she was hastily cremated.
Cremated. A fresh life turned into a jar of miserable white ashes in the blink of an eye, and when he saw Song Xiaoxue come to see him with Qiya's urn, Nie Kai could hardly believe his eyes.
This is life, this is Yog.
"In fact, in the four years since I entered Youg, including your brother, the second group has lost 4 people, and these 4 people are still uncertain. Maybe one day, I'll never go back. Nie Kai remembered what Mr. Yang said to Song Xiaoxue, and a huge chill rose in his heart.
Mr. Yang is not joking, this place called Yog is indeed not a peaceful place. The guys here are ready to sacrifice for the exploration of the ancient gods at any time. The fall of one or two lives is not at all worth tears for such an organization that licks blood at the edge of a knife.
Thinking of this, Nie Kai suddenly had an irrepressible disgust for Yog. Therefore, when Nie Kai's wound gradually healed, and Liu Tianyi asked him for injections again, he decisively refused.
"You don't have to ask me anymore, I'm really not the kind of person you need. I'm just a coward, a coward who weeps when he sees bloodshed and tears when he sees sacrifice, you know? Cthulhu or something, I don't care. Nie Kai said coldly, looking at Liu Tianyi's eyes.
Liu Tianyi silently listened to Nie Kai's words, shook his head gently, and then walked out of the ward without looking back.
Two days later, Nie Kai was officially expelled.
After hearing the news, Mr. Yang and the fat man were very indignant.
"He can't do this, counting the Yangshan Port time, you have already saved Liu Tianyi's guy twice. In my opinion, even if you refuse to be injected, you are capable enough to do Yog's task. Mr. Yang said indignantly, picking up his weapon and preparing to go to Liu Tianyi to settle the score.
Seeing this, Nie Kai hurriedly grabbed him.
"No, it's not Liu Tianyi's fault, it's my own decision. To be honest, I don't really have much interest in what you're studying. Nie Kai tried to make himself act like he didn't care, "And, as you know, I haven't been home for two years, and it's time to go back to see my mother." My mom was actually a duplicitous person, and she said that I should not go back, but she must have missed me in her heart. After Nie Kai finished speaking, he smiled hard.
Mr. Yang wanted to say something, but Song Xiaoxue had already stopped him.
"This is Nie Kai's own decision, and we shouldn't obstruct it. Song Xiaoxue said softly, looking out the window.
Nie Kai looked at Song Xiaoxue's side face, and suddenly felt guilty in his heart.
"I can go with you to your brother. When he said this, Song Xiaoxue looked at him, and Nie Kai still remembered it. What kind of look was that? relief, gratitude, and joy. Nie Kai made such a promise to her, but now, Nie Kai wants to escape from this place alone, which may be a betrayal for Song Xiaoxue.
Nie Kai opened his mouth, but said nothing. He actually hoped that Song Xiaoxue would leave with him, after all, Yoge was a dangerous place, no matter what, Nie Kai didn't want such a good girl to die in such a cold place like Qi Ya. But he didn't know what to say, what could he say? In the king of comedy, Yin Tianqiu, who had nothing, said "I'll raise you" in order to keep Liu Piaopiao. But Nie Kai is not Yin Tianqiu, and Song Xiaoxue is definitely not Liu Piaopiao, the only intersection between him and Song Xiaoxue is that they have only lived together in Youge for a month. Moreover, Song Xiaoxue is still a girl who does what she says, since she decided to stay in Yuge to find his brother, then she will definitely not give up halfway.
Song Xiaoxue was still looking out the window, where a sparrow was singing on the branches. Nie Kai took one last look at Song Xiaoxue, pulled up the quilt, and covered his face.
Nie Kai's recovery speed was even more amazing than that in Yangshan Port, and in just one week, the wound on his back had healed. Even the severely damaged right hand regained mobility. Now Nie Kai has begun to pack his luggage, and Mr. Yang and the fat man are sitting in the living room, but no one has come over to persuade him.
They understood that what Song Xiaoxue said was right, although with Nie Kai's current situation, he would encounter many difficulties when leaving Yuge. But is it better to stay in Yog?
Admittedly, compared to the hardships outside, Yog's life seems extremely comfortable. However, beneath the surface of comfort, Yog is indeed a dangerous place. Cthulhu, what kind of existence is that? What will happen to those who try to spy on it? Will it be a great treasure, or will it be an endless disaster. The fat man didn't know, and Mr. Yang didn't know, the reason why they didn't leave here, in addition to liking the life here, was that they had been injected with the serum of the ancient gods.
There is no turning back for them, and Nie Kai is different. So far, Nie Kai and the ancient gods have not had any intersection. At this time, it may really be a good choice to stop the horse and leave Yog.
