Volume 1 Chapter 3 The Meaning Given

So quiet.

Xu Lin thought to himself.

Xu Lin's eyes couldn't see anything anymore, his vision began to blur, and slowly he could only see a darkness, as if someone around him was saying something loudly.

He felt tired and didn't have the energy to pay attention to what the man was saying.

He felt something in him slip by, fading away.

The body also began to become cold.

It's so cold, am I dying? Xu Lin thought to himself.

Is that okay, can I meet them?

He tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't feel his eyelids anymore, he couldn't tell if they were open or closed, he only felt darkness.

His body is no longer his own.

Scenes began to flash in Xu Lin's mind.

He saw his father, who had died when he was very young, and his father was holding his childhood self.

Xu Lin only remembered that he was a great man and a hero, and that was Jiang Yueyang, Uncle Jiang told him.

Then he saw Uncle Jiang again, after his father's death, he was Xu Lin's guardian, he was his father's best friend, and he was also a good police officer.

He saw that Uncle Jiang was teaching him to do his homework, he was scratching his head, it was a time when he tutored himself to do his homework.

Slowly, Xu Lin began to grow up, and his homework became more and more difficult, Jiang Yueyang didn't understand, so he would call and ask his colleagues in the bureau, which caused a burst of complaints in the bureau.

Hahaha, Xu Lin wanted to laugh when he saw this, but he couldn't feel his face.

Then he saw the mother he only saw in the photo, the mother who died not long after he was born, lying on the bed, she was very gentle in her arms and humming a baby quietly.

Xu Lin no longer felt cold, so warm, Xu Lin thought to himself.

Then Xu Lin began to go to junior high school, high school, and college. Jiang Yueyang began to have gray hair.

Jiang Yueyang often stayed up late because of work, his face began to become haggard, and he became more and more busy with work, but no matter how busy Jiang Yueyang was, he would find time to accompany him, and later Jiang Yueyang was so busy that he couldn't see him once a month.

Xu Lin has never complained about him, every time he meets, he is very happy, and the happier he is, the more guilty he seems to be. It seems that Jiang Yueyang feels that he can give Xu Lin too little.

Xu Lin studied very hard and hard, he didn't want to live up to his love for himself, there was no blood relationship but the love of father and son.

But this kind of life didn't last long, and one day when I was in class, a man and a woman came to the door of the classroom, Xu Lin knew them, and it was Jiang Yueyang's colleague.

After a few words with the teacher, they called Xu Lin out, their eyes were bloodshot, and there was a hidden grief, and their eyes were full of distress when they looked at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin understood that when he first saw Jiang Yueyang when he was a child, his eyes were like this.

It's just that it was Jiang Yueyang who was at the entrance of the kindergarten at that time, and now he has been replaced by his colleague.

Later, Xu Lin didn't remember what they said.

Jiang Yueyang sacrificed.

The boy's sky fell again.

When the young man's numb eyes fluctuated again, he only saw Jiang Yueyang's body, and he saw the dense bruises and wounds on his body.

When Xu Lin saw this scene, he only felt angry and sad.

He wanted to clench his fists, he wanted to scream in anger, but he couldn't.

Xu Lin's consciousness was dissipating.

The scene continues, and later, after the "Apocalypse Incident", Xu Lin joined an organization with the concept of accepting and managing the "Apostles" and using the power of the "Apostles" to protect ordinary humans.

There Xu Lin met like-minded and like-minded companions with him.

It was a group of people with a noble spirit and a noble character.

Together, they braved danger and fought desperately in the darkest corners of the city.

Until they die trying to hold on to their beliefs.

The picture began to become clear and blurry, and he could only vaguely see himself lying on the sofa with his arms hidden and resting.

The girl was lurking and slowly approached Xu Lin on the sofa.

Suddenly, he jumped and tried to sneak attack Xu Lin.

"Phew! Ha! The girl jumped up and leaned back on the couch.

"How? Got any surprises? The girl's mischievous laughter rang in my ears.

The boy was still lying on the sofa and did not move, moved his arm and opened one eye to glance at the girl, and said lightly.

"You're moving so much, I guessed it was you from the moment you entered the room, really. A year older than me, you childish ghost. The boy was speechless, and continued to rest with his arms covering his face.

"Hee-hee."

The girl crawled on the couch on all fours and slowly approached the boy, her hands supporting herself, looking down at the boy's face between her arms.

The girl let her hair hang down, and she scrutinized the boy's unsuspecting sleeping face.

After a long time, the girl was not sure whether the boy was asleep or not.

She looked at the boy's face and muttered something quietly.

"Huh? What did you say? The boy asked aloud.

"Ahh So you didn't sleep! ”

"Nasty!"

The girl was startled and hurriedly sat upright.

"I said, what did you just mutter?" The boy didn't move, and asked in a lazy tone.

The girl was silent for a while, looked at the young man's sleeping face, her eyes became deep and gentle, and said.

"You are my salvation."

"So are you."

You are also my salvation

The boy said to the girl in his heart.

The eyes that covered his face with his arms were already open, and his eyes were equally gentle.

The girl's face turned red when she heard this, and she turned her head away and looked out the window.

The corners of the boy's mouth rose slightly.

The two were speechless.

With a gentle breeze on their faces, both of them were quietly enjoying the afternoon.

The sun is warm and the wind is gentle.

...

...

The picture begins to shatter and haze.

The footage continues.

It seems that there are still people and things who want Xu Lin to be aroused, but they have become powerless after all.

The picture is hazy and dark.

...

...

The next moment.

Xu Lin appeared in a vast and dark place.

It's a place where the eye can see, and it's overwhelming.

He only saw the darkness, Xu Lin gained his body again, he could clench his fists, he could shout.

But there was only endless darkness here, which made Xu Lin feel cold.

The vast darkness made Xu Lin feel dazed, and his body became colder and colder.

Xu Lin groped his way forward in the darkness, and he saw a white light appear in front of him.

Xu Lin began to run desperately.

Run in the direction of the light.

He saw a man at the end of the light.

It was Jiang Yueyang, and he smiled and beckoned to him.

"Uncle Jiang!" Xu Lin stretched out his hand and ran towards Jiang Yueyang.

He stretched out his hand and hugged Jiang Yueyang tightly, tears couldn't help but gush out in the next moment, so many grievances and pretending to be strong seemed to have been vented at this moment.

Xu Lin cried like a child for the first time.

He was a student when he first fought the Apostles, and had not even graduated from school when he joined the Order.

During this year, he witnessed too many lives and deaths, training and fighting with his fellow "apostles" as an ordinary human.

He never let himself stop for a year.

Every day, I am physically and mentally exhausted to squeeze my physical strength and temper my will.

This was followed by daily battles to the death against various "apostles".

The physical aches and exhaustion did not struck him.

However, he could not stop the people around him from leaving.

He's not strong enough.

The few remaining rays of light in a young man's life are fading and shattering.

Friends and companions are still sacrificed one after another.

More and more parting of life and death, infinite self-blame.

Howling of powerlessness, roaring of self-reproach......

His heart became heavier and sader, and his heart was like a boulder weighing on a thousand pounds.

He saw a vast expanse of crosses in the organization, where his companions were buried.

The once familiar faces have become these strange crosses.

He was surrounded by the white crosses that covered the mountains, and Xu Lin was crushed by countless partings.

He knew that one day he would lie in this place too.

...

Xu Lin felt quiet in Jiang Yueyang's embrace.

It wasn't until this moment that the boy was truly relieved of his burden.

"You've worked hard. I've seen everything you've done, and I'm really proud of you, Xu Lin. ”

Jiang Yueyang rubbed Xu Lin's hair and said calmly.

It's as if the slightly hoarse magnetic voice of a middle-aged man can restore calm.

"Stop crying, look back."

Xu Lin looked back and saw that it was his father and mother.

Xu Lin ran over and hugged them tightly, he was blaming his parents for leaving him so early, he even forgot his father's voice and appearance, Xu Lin said a lot, while his father and mother looked at him with tears and distress, nodding......

The space is no longer dark at this moment.

Instantly filled with light.

Xu Lin's companions began to appear around him.

More and more people appeared, surrounding Xu Lin.

People are coming together, and there is a light shining in them.

A girl in a wheelchair looked at him quietly with a smile on her face.

The girl who had been mischievous on the sofa looked at him with a smile on her beautiful crescent moon in her eyes.

A teenager of the same age as Xu Lin in a school uniform looked at him calmly.

A white-collar office worker in a suit and glasses looked at him calmly.

......

One after the other, all of them were dead souls.

At this moment, they came for Xu Lin, and they quietly surrounded him.

Xu Lin burned for them to the end, and at this moment they also came to illuminate Xu Lin.

...

Xu Lin felt a sense of tranquility and peace that he had never felt before.

He closed his eyes, and his body gradually radiated the same light as the crowd.

"Xu Lin, it's time for us to go." The wheelchair girl said.

"Where are you going?" This Xu Lin was a little at a loss, and he reluctantly looked at the crowd around him.

"I'm so tired, I want to stay with you." Xu Lin said.

"That's where we belong." The girl with eyes like crescent moon shook her head and said.

"Xu Lin, it's time for you to go back, your journey isn't over yet." Jiang Yueyang's eyes were full of laughter and tears, and he couldn't stop being satisfied and proud of this young man.

"We'll have to accompany you here."

"It's time to grow up, boy."

"May you be well."

"Take care, son. Mom and Dad love you. I love you very much, I have to eat well, I have to be good, I have to protect myself......"

From the crowd came the reluctant cries of the mother and the broken thoughts that she had never had a chance to instruct.

"Son! I'm so proud of you! It was my father's slightly trembling voice.

"Goodbye, little sun."

"Take care, master!"

"With so many people, the confession won't be discovered. I love you Xu Lin!! ”

"Goodbye."

"May you have a bright future."

"Take care, Xu Lin. I didn't win you in this life, and if there is an afterlife, I won't lose to you again! ”

"Fly! Juvenile!!!! ”

......

The light on the boy's body stopped, and his body was no longer blurry, but gradually condensed.

There were many goodbyes from the crowd.

All kinds of voices, choked cries, the joy of reunion, the relief of a best friend, the anticipation of a friend......

This parting is forever.

The crowd began to move slowly.

The tears in Xu Lin's eyes couldn't stop slipping, his heart seemed to be torn apart again, and he opened his legs and started running.

But no matter how much he chased, he couldn't keep up with the crowd that radiated dazzling light.

They are dazzling and warm.

They are getting farther and farther away.

Xu Lin kept wiping away the tears in his eyes, did not stop under his feet, and still ran hard.

He couldn't shorten the distance.

He couldn't help but choke and began to cry as he ran.

The light in front of Xu Lin's eyes began to flow behind him, and behind Xu Lin there was a bronze light, more and more dazzling and warm.

Xu Lin knew what that meant, and still didn't stop running.

Don't go, don't go!!

Xu Lin was crying.

He reached out and tried to grab the long vanished crowd in front of him.

"Let's go back."

A familiar voice rang out in the boy's ear.

The young man was patted on the shoulder with his hand, and subconsciously turned his head.

The bronze glow tugged at him.

All the images began to regress.

The light began to flow behind him.

Time flies.

Boom—
