Xinghe wakes up in a white tent. The tent is mainly white, about thirty or forty square meters, the layout is relatively simple, six beds are placed side by side, and there is no other furniture in the tent.

Ye Zhiqiu opened the curtain and walked in, and when he saw himself sitting up, he smiled, "You're awake." ”

Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and in his last memory, Sneve seemed to be going berserk, and endless black qi erupted from his body, devouring everything, including him and Lan Yue. So, I should be dead, but I didn't expect it to end like this. He bowed his head in some frustration, but more than that, he felt relieved that he was finally able to let everything go.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and smiled, "Xiaoyue, are they also here?"

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, "They're just outside." ”

Xinghe jumped out of bed, ready to go to them, it was his decision to come to Jiangcheng to meet Sneve Snow, now that everyone is dead here, at least I have to apologize to them first, as for whether they forgive or not, let's talk about it. After discovering that he was dead, Xinghe felt that he had suddenly become very open-minded, but before that, he had to apologize to someone first.

He looked at Ye Zhiqiu and bowed to him solemnly, "Mr. Ye, uh...... , Uncle, I'm sorry to get you involved. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a while, and after hearing what Xinghe said, the stunned on his face turned into a smile, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

Now it was Xinghe's turn to feel stunned, did he say something wrong, why did Ye Zhiqiu smile so happily?

Ye Zhiqiu finally held back his laughter, "Xinghe, you know that some people in this world are born with some abilities. Just like José, he can turn anything into the words of his black book, and like him, I have some abilities. ”

Xinghe nodded, but he still felt dazed, he didn't find the key between them.

Ye Zhiqiu pressed his hand on his shoulder and said seriously, "My ability is immortal." ”

Well, not to die, not to die?

"So at that time, you didn't die?" Xinghe called out in shock.

"Yes. Ye Zhiqiu nodded and admitted, "I'm sorry to worry you, the situation at that time was a little complicated." ”

Xinghe reached out and pinched his cheek, it hurt, he wasn't dreaming, "So I didn't die, and Xiaoyue and they were all right?"

"Of course. Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, "Everyone is alive, you did a good job, there is no need to apologize to anyone." ”

Not everyone can have this experience, thinking that they are dead, and after accepting this fact, they were suddenly told that you are actually alive and well, Xinghe felt that being alive was such a beautiful thing for the first time, he couldn't help but smirk, and Ye Zhiqiu watched quietly from the side, after a long time, Xinghe's mood finally calmed down, "What about Sniff, was he caught?"

Galaxy hadn't forgotten the other key figure in the incident, Sniff, and that Moro knew a lot about what he wanted to know. To his little disappointment, Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, "Sneef is dead." ”

"How did you die?" Xinghe subconsciously asked.

"The general cause of death should be the backlash of power, and the power of the King of Crime and Punishment is not so easy to control. Ye Zhiqiu patted Xinghe's shoulder, "Don't be too sad, think about the bright side, at least everyone is safe." ”

"Hmm. Xinghe nodded, everyone was safe, this was already the best to take over.

Ye Zhiqiu led him out of the tent, the tent of dozens of square meters inside looked like it was just a small tent of two or three square meters on the outside, he remembered the backpack that Ren Tianqi showed them when he was in the academy, the space was expanded, but he didn't expect it to be used on the tent, "Why hasn't this technology been promoted, it obviously looks convenient?"

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the tent, "The cost of space expansion is not enough to support civilianization, and its technology is not mature enough." ”

"But shouldn't this magic be very difficult, the technology is not mature enough because there is not enough research?" Xinghe asked, Ren Tianqi said this course very lightly when he said it.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "You have grasped the key, the research of cutting-edge magic in the empire has always been led by the three major research institutes, but they rarely focus on the civilian use of cutting-edge technology, although in my opinion, this is the more meaningful thing." ”

Xinghe nodded, in the Empire, the demon spirit has an absolute monopoly on magic, and the cost of any emerging magic technology is not too high for them, so the three major research institutes of the empire will naturally not have much enthusiasm to further reduce the cost of those magic to the real civilian level. Suddenly, Xinghe began to understand why Ren Tianqi admired Ye Zhiqiu so much, and abolishing the cumbersome household registration survey system meant that the demon's monopoly on magic was broken, which was a very significant thing.

In addition to the tent they just came out of, there were dozens of tents of all sizes erected in the surrounding camps, and many people wearing Valhalla uniforms were shuttling back and forth between these tents, looking very busy.

Ye Zhiqiu led Xinghe to the largest tent in the camp and lifted the curtain, the inside of the tent was covered with a dark red carpet, and a circle of chairs was placed in the middle. Anton, Arashiki, Shigego, Rongruo, Dr. Emilio, and Dan Huisheng were all here, and Xinghe naturally walked over and sat on the edge of Lanyue.

The collar around Dan Huisheng's neck had been removed, and so was Dr. Emilio's, after Xinghe and Ye Zhiqiu walked into the tent, he moved his index finger, and the curtain of the tent was connected to the canvas around him, leaving no gaps.

Ye Zhiqiu sat down behind Xinghe, and after he sat down, Dan Huisheng said: "Today is a long day for us, and there are many dangers, but fortunately, the result is good, Sneef is dead, and the situation in Jiangcheng has been controlled, these are all your credits, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Valhalla like all of you." ”

"Polite words are exempt, and the point is directly stated. Dr. Emilio leaned back in the chair with her legs crossed, her face looking impatient.

Dan Xuansheng nodded, "It's because of this incident that I brought everyone here, I hope you can keep your mouth shut about everything that happened in Jiangcheng today." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a briefcase from under his feet, took out a stack of papers from it, and handed one to each of them, "So I want you to sign this confidentiality agreement and promise not to reveal what happened today to anyone in any way." ”

Xinghe carefully examined the densely written regulations on the paper, and so did Anton and them, but Doctor Emilio just glanced at it and put it down, "I saved a city and almost died in it, I think there should be some payment, right?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Emilio, who didn't feel a little uncomfortable, and continued with a normal expression: "I'm more realistic. ”

"Of course, Miss Garcia. Dan Huisheng nodded, and took out another stack of checks from his briefcase, "These checks can be withdrawn from any branch of the Imperial National Bank for 100,000 Dan to thank you for your contribution to this incident, but since this matter is absolutely confidential, there will be no overt honor, but I can owe you a favor in my personal name, as long as it is not illegal, and within my ability, no matter what the request is, I can help." ”

As Emilio said, she was realistic, and after hearing the conditions given by Dan Huisheng, she quickly signed her name on the non-disclosure agreement and then took a check from Dan Huisheng.

Xinghe and Anton glanced at each other, and then set their eyes on Ye Zhiqiu, he just looked at them with a smile on his face and didn't give any advice. Xinghe lowered his head, looked at the confidentiality agreement in his hand, and thought about it, in fact, without this agreement, he would not discuss what happened today with anyone, so he happily signed his name at the bottom of the agreement.

After he took the lead, Lan Yue and the others immediately signed an agreement, and Dan Huangsheng did not break his promise, and put a check for 100,000 Dan in everyone's hands. Looking at the long string of numbers on this piece of paper, Xinghe felt very wonderful, so many things happened not long ago because of money, and now the four of them have a total of 400,000 in their hands.

"You don't have to give me the money. Ye Zhiqiu waved his hand when Dan Huangsheng handed him the check, "As for your favors, you know, the academy is expanding, I hope to recruit a group of teachers, it will be a little difficult to come in my name, but I don't think it's a difficult thing for you." ”

Dan Huisheng took back the check, smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'd rather you take the check, you can't help with this." ”

Ye Zhiqiu straightened his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said lightly: "Since it is your favor, you don't need to use it in vain." ”

Compared to him, Rong Ruo immediately shouted after handing over the confidentiality agreement to Dan Huisheng, "Why don't you have my share?"

Dan Huisheng was sorting out those non-disclosure agreements, and when he heard her voice, he glanced up, "Oh, Jose said that you have handled your own financial problems very badly, so I will keep them for you first, and it just so happens that you have also paid a lot of money from him, and I will help you pay it back by the way." ”

"Eh, damn senior brother!" Rong Ruo had an expression of wanting to devour Jose alive, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she immediately came to Dan Huangsheng again, "That father, you see, can you cancel the suspension order, I can already cast spells with Pixar, we are very powerful, we can destroy the enemy with one blow!"

Dan Huisheng put the sorted documents into his briefcase, stood up, and looked at her with a smile, "It's just this thing, I'm thinking about some other requirements." ”

"Ah, why?" Rong Ruo grimaced, but Dan Huisheng was unmoved, he looked at Emilio, "Miss Garcia, I don't know what your plans are for the future?"

Emilio stood up after collecting the check, "What do you mean?"

"You're from a military background, you're clean, you don't have any bad records, and I've asked Jose and Kocchi about you, and they have a good opinion of you. So, if you want, Valhalla can offer you a job. ”

Emilio didn't directly refuse, she thought for two seconds, "How's the salary?"

"Let's talk as we go. He made a gesture of invitation to Emilio.

Emilio was not pretentious, and bargained with him one after another over the issue of salary, Rong Ruo glanced at it, and also trotted to follow, as if she had not given up her suspension order.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the four children and also stood up, "I think you have a lot to say, so I won't spoil the scenery here." With that, he also came out of the tent.

There were only four of them left in the huge tent at once, Xinghe looked at Anton and them, and found that they were also looking at him, he swallowed his saliva and slowly spoke: "Anton, Chongwu, there is something I want to tell you." ”

"I'm a demon spirit, Satsuki, she's an alien, I didn't tell you this, just because I didn't want to...... I don't want to ......" Xinghe didn't know what word to use for a while.

While he was still thinking about the wording, Shigego spoke, "I know, José told me before. ”

"You know?" Anton looked at him in surprise, "I'm the only one who doesn't know?"

Xinghe didn't expect that Chonggo would already know the identities of himself and Ranyue, but in addition to being shocked, he was more worried about how Anton would react.

Anton sensed his gaze and crossed his hands on his waist, "Look at what I do, do you think I'll do anything just because you two aren't human?"

"It's not. Xinghe smiled slightly, but it quickly faded away, "What happened two years ago was caused by me, those demon pursuers all came to Shiva Town because they came to chase and kill us, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be orphans." So, if you two hate me, it's understandable. However, Lan Yue has nothing to do with this matter, and I just hope that you will at least not be angry with her. ”

"Brother!" Lan Yue cried out as she tugged at his sleeve.

"I don't know. Shigego's voice interrupted them, and he lowered his head, "I don't know, I don't feel like I hate you, maybe I should, but I really don't feel ......, I don't know." ”

"Chonggo......" Xinghe was just about to say something, when he heard Anton let out a cold snort, which attracted his gaze.

"That's true, but in the tavern, Sneve let me see all the things, so it can't all be your fault, after all, you just want to save Arazuki, if I were in that position, I might not have done as well as you. He paused, "I was also a little excited in Jiangcheng just now, and now after I wake up and think about it, there is indeed a reason why Shiva Town will be destroyed, but it is mainly because of the result of those demon spirits disregarding the lives of civilians, and in the past two years, you have done a lot of things, I owe you at least one life, and the things between us are not so easy to explain, right, you said, we are not friends, we are family, what I can't accept is that you are always in the dark." ”

Anton said a long series of words one after another, and when he stopped, he realized that everyone was looking at him with a strange look, "What are you doing, this is disgusting." ”

"Uh..."Shigego spoke, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and whispered, "Well, we are family." ”

"We are family and will always be family. Xinghe repeated, all the words he wanted to say and the feelings he wanted to pour out were finally condensed in this sentence.

We are family......
