Teng Yun took a deep look at the world of benchmarks. It was evident from the www.biquge.info that after he had fallen asleep, the train had moved some distance again. Now the place where it docked Teng Yunshen is not familiar, but slightly impressed. It's not far from the university town, and it's only about a 20-minute walk away.

The train stopped at the lively pedestrian street, and it was still early, but it gradually became bustling and lively. Of course, no one will complain about being blocked by trains, they only operate in the baseline world, and do not touch the first world...... Authentic.

The first world is quiet. The architecture of the benchmark world, most of which are three- to four-storey shops, are presented here in the form of glass houses, row upon row, glittering in the cold mist, which makes Teng Yunshen surprised by the breadth of the street. However, both the houses and the streets were empty, except for two taciturn wizards watching the dead city.

Teng Yunshen looked at the benchmark world again, and a group of people walked towards him, young people, the same age as him, but their expressions were much lighter.

In the First World, the energy of mortals also seems to be present, wisps of smoke, kaleidoscopic hazy light and shadow, vaguely indicating the posture of the baseline world.

They are full of vivid colors. They walked past him. Invisible gaps quietly separate them from him, and the two worlds are not symmetrical.

Jiang Xiaoxiao nervously tugged at his sleeve: "Don't just go out like this." It doesn't have to be a nuisance, but it's better to be careful. ”

"I'll take notice. Teng Yunshen walked down the ladder in three steps and two steps, and to his surprise, Jiang Xiaoxiao did not let go, but followed him inch by inch.

He shook his arm and made a slight gesture, Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly let go of her five fingers and lowered her head: "I'm sorry." ”

Teng Yunshen shook his head, then turned around. The train lay on the track without saying a word, like a delicate model that has been magnified dozens of times. He couldn't find any traces of the war, so he was a little disappointed. The roars of the wizards still linger in the wind......

"Do I have to say goodbye to Professor Gray and Su Ruiwen?"

Professor Ash left, and Raven was sleeping. ”

Teng Yunshen nodded: "Then I'll go back first." Good bye. ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao recklessly stretched out her hand to stop him: "I'll go with you." ”

Teng Yunshen frowned: "There is nothing wrong with my body...... I think you have a lot of work to do. ”

"Taking care of you is the most important thing right now," the girl sniffed, "and, I—I want to go out for a walk." Can you stay with me?"

Teng Yunshen recalled Su Ruiwen's expression at the last moment. The shapeshifter mage who tore the enemies apart without changing his face, the strong and brave warrior, cried so sadly, it was like ...... It's like a girl their age, it's no different. However, the girls usually cry only because of emotional frustration, and the witches go for the death. At such a young age, they suffered such a shocking death.

"I'm sorry. Teng Yunshen apologized to Jiang Xiaoxiao, "I'm so useless, I shouldn't just faint." You've been dealing with the battlefield all night, right? the wounded, the dead......"

"It's all in the past. Jiang Xiaoxiao pushed him, "I mean, it's over for the time being." Let's go. ”

They walked through the empty streets, their boots tapping lightly against the frosty pavement, making a crisp sound that echoed in the thin light of the streetlights.

"Let's leave right here. Jiang Xiaoxiao proposed. She observed two layered worlds at the same time, and unlike Teng Yunshen, who had to concentrate to do so, it was as natural for her as breathing.

Teng Yunshen confirmed the environment of the baseline world, an empty corner. He walked out, back into a familiar world.

The air between the flocculent and the crystalline melted, and there were sounds everywhere, the sound of cars, people, and the wind, rushing into his ears, noisy, but extremely nostalgic.

"I don't want to go back, I mean...... Go back to the wizarding world. He said to Jiang Xiaoxiao, who came out of the air immediately behind, "I don't want to go back." ”

The girl's reaction was calm: "That's what I thought too...... I just don't have to go back. ”

Teng Yunshen suddenly grabbed her hand—earlier than all thoughts—and he immediately regretted the impulse, his heart pounding, and his fingers trembling.

"Let's leave together. He moved his lips, but he couldn't get the words out of his heart. He knew that it would not help, and just like him, the girl would not change her mind easily.

"Yesterday was also my first time killing someone. Jiang Xiaoxiao let him hold his hand, "I have arrested evil wizards before, and handing them over to the court is equivalent to sending them to the guillotine...... However, the feeling of killing people with your own hands is really different. She held up her other hand, "I've done it hundreds of times, but it still feels wet, it's all blood, and the blood is still flowing." ”

Teng Yunshen's palm was dry. He couldn't even remember what the wizards he had killed looked like. However, Jiang Xiaoxiao's mind is more delicate.

"So I'm going to stay. It's because I hate it very, very much, that I'm staying. She smiled embarrassedly, "I know them, the members of the association, they are all good people, they will definitely not like this feeling, and I have to face it with them." ”

Teng Yunshen let go of the girl's hand in frustration. The girl's strong inner strength impressed him, but it also made him sad.

"Let's go. Jiang Xiaoxiao pushed him, "Since you have decided to stick to your post-"

"What will happen to the clerks if the spell is not lifted?" Teng Yunshen forced himself to take his attention away from the bleak future, and he changed to a more light-hearted topic, "Customers will turn a blind eye to the store, but what about the clerks?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao replied, "I don't know exactly which spell Professor Gray used. However, the simplest and most effective one...... Everything around them is able to attract their attention except for this store, whether it is the staff or the customer, and it is the same for them. ”

"It's funny. Teng Yunshen muttered, "It's a pity that I have to be worthy of my employer's salary." Otherwise, it's nice to be undisturbed all the time. ”

Jiang Xiaoxiao stopped hesitantly. "Yun Shen," she became distracted, "will you cheat on the exam?"

Teng Yun pondered the meaning of the girl's words.

It's so easy for a wizard to cheat on the admissions exams for colleges and universities...... Another choice between "freedom" and "order"?
