Chapter 279: The End
North District, Fisherman's Wharf.
The howling sea breeze blows like the song of a siren to the golden sands coast of the outer harbor, and the rolling waves are like the wings of a siren flapping against the reef at the bottom of the sea. Fisherman's Wharf on the Sands Coast is home to a magnificent cultural centre and Vientiane Square, and the lighthouse along the coast no longer seems to have the function of guiding ships to dock in the dark, but has become a tourist attraction.
Fishermen who make a living by the sea have opened seafood restaurants on the pier to entertain diners who come from far and wide, and each seafood restaurant is still in full swing from the early morning and day to the night. Even if there are no diners at the seafood restaurant, you can see the laughter and laughter of tourists everywhere under the brilliant lights of Fisherman's Wharf.
The nine-hole stone bridge spans the Zhenjiang district on the opposite bank from the Jinsha Coast, and the river in the middle of the two banks is wide and smooth, and there are often many painting boats passing through it. The water of the Zhenjiang River meanders down from the upper reaches until it flows out of the outer harbor.
At night, the nine-hole stone bridge is brightly lit, the cornices are warped, the corridor is curved and the fence is crowded, the crowded lights are mixed with noisy human voices, and the dark river reflects the colors of the lights. The reflection of the nine-hole stone bridge was disturbed by the ripples, and the rippling colors became trembling. Every night, there are many young people who have a good time drinking and chatting at this drink. Because there is a whole entertainment store like an "assembly line" here, the "small bridge flowing water family" with the nine-hole stone bridge alone represents the young culture of the entire North District.
There was a seafood restaurant near the river, and an hour before a teenager stood in front of the restaurant facing the quiet river. The passing breeze kissed him on the forehead, he held a small pebble in his right hand and threw it into the river, and in his left hand he held a fluffy Pomeranian close to his arms without speaking.
"Ahh Achu sneezed, and Shenwei in his arms opened his eyes and closed them again.
Ah Chu trembled and hugged Shenwei tightly, the reason why he hugged Shenwei tightly was not because he was worried that it would catch a cold, but because he used Shenwei's fur to warm himself, he was really shameless.
Achu wiped his snot with his sleeve and muttered, "Aren't they finished yet?" Did you have that much fun? I'm tired to death, even if it's a self-study ...... It's all over the place, and it's time to get out of school. When I get home, I'm going to take a hot shower and go to bed, what do you think of Kamui? Are you tired too? I see you're running pretty happily, scurrying around, and then you're running to Fisherman's Wharf. You're good at choosing places! You've found it, and I've never been to Fisherman's Wharf. ”
"Ahhhh Achu trembled and went crazy.
"They're not going home, are they?" Achu began to think crankily, "It's not like I'm still wandering around here alone, right?" I don't think they'll abandon me mercilessly, at least they'll let me know when they get home, but the problem is that no one will pick me up...... How can I get from the North District back to the Yesing District by myself? ”
"Why don't you ......" Achu looked at Shenwei in his arms, and a strange thought suddenly sprouted in his heart, he touched Shenwei's fur, "Lovely Shenwei, why don't you take me back?" ”
God Wei rested silently, how did he say such a shameless request? Isn't it tiring to ask a Pomeranian to take him home, running around? Someone said before that Kamui can only be formalized once in a week, and it is impossible to transform it a second time in a short period of time. Achu probably forgot all about someone's words, and he was fugue every time he had a meeting.
Seeing that Shenwei didn't make a sound, Achu sighed and leaned against the railing. Suddenly, a familiar voice blew along with the passing breeze and stopped in Achu's ears.
"Why don't I send you back?" The red-haired woman's voice is so gentle, like a calm river.
Achu didn't have time to answer before he turned his head to look at the other party, he was not nervous or afraid, he asked the other party curiously, "Why are you here?" ”
Tu Lin replied with a smile, "Let's come here for dinner, the fat man said that the seafood restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf in the North District is very good, so we came over to take a look, and I happened to bump into you here, you said this fate...... It's amazing, hahahahaha. ”
Tu Lin's hearty laughter embarrassed the fat man on the side, and pushed everything on him, when did he say that the seafood restaurant at Fisherman's Wharf in the North District was very good? Although he has a certain area of food, he has never even been to Fisherman's Wharf, how can he know if the taste here is to his liking? Forget it, whatever the woman says, in case she is unhappy, she may throw the people around her into the flowing water of Zhenjiang.
"Hahahaha, yes, the small bridge and flowing water here are really good, and many young people come here to drink and talk." The fat man's laughter was seamlessly connected with Tu Lin's laughter, but fortunately, he had done a strategy a few minutes ago.
Xiao Wu leaned over and asked the fat man, "Then which restaurant will we go to for dinner later?" ”
"Get out!" The fat man said without hesitation, Xiao Wu glanced at him speechlessly, this man changed his face faster than turning a book.
Tu Lin and Achu leaned on the railing together to blow the wind, two meters apart between the two, Tu Lin would pay attention to Achu's gaze and follow his gaze to look at the lights on the other side. Fat man and others are swiping their mobile phones to choose a nearby seafood restaurant, for the fat man, a high rating does not mean anything, at most it means that this seafood restaurant is a little popular.
"Who are you waiting for?" Tu Lin turned his head to look at Achu and asked.
Achu did not shy away from telling Tu Lin, "I'm waiting for my family, so who are you waiting for?" ”
Tu Lin smiled and said, "Me too." ”
Hearing this, Achu turned his head to look at Tu Lin, and suddenly a naughty "wind elf" lifted Tu Lin's long red hair, and from the side, her red hair looked like a red flag fluttering in the wind. Sometimes Achu is very curious, what kind of person would a woman like Tu Lin be in the past? What kind of turn made Tu Lin the boss of the Red Spider?
Instead of trying to break your head, it's better to ask directly.
"I want to know ...... your past," Achu asked Tu Lin bluntly.
Tu Lin was stunned for a moment and looked at Achu, "Why do you want to know my past?" ”
"Hmm...... It's just curiosity. Achu told the truth, he was indeed curious.
Tu Lin leaned on the railing and smiled at this, the gust of wind that belonged to her threw her messy red hair on her face. Her eyes stared at the landscape in front of her, and those bright lights condensed into a sea of stars in her pupils. She felt happy, it was the second time that someone had wondered about her past. That girl who doesn't have a sense of existence, she never imagined that someone would pay attention to her in the future.
"You...... That's how you usually talk to girls? Tu Lin asked Achu.
Achu stroked Shenwei and told Tu Lin, "This kind of thing...... It's all situational.,It's usually a chat with my own girl.,I don't have any friends of the opposite sex.,So ...... I can ask whatever I can think of. ”
"Hahahaha......" Tu Lin smiled, she said to Achu, "From the first day I met you to the present, you haven't changed much except for treating people, other than ...... It's changed, and now you can go it alone. ”
"You've been keeping an eye on me, huh?" Achu was a little puzzled.
Tu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”
"Uh......" Achu was speechless for a moment, and Tu Lin continued, "Tonight's decisive battle against Japan is to test your strength, and then the number of people on both sides will be discussed by the way." I looked at the general situation, and not only are your people amazing, but even the entire organization is weird. Those who can fight, run, jump, fly, and even eat supper at roadside food stalls...... I'm really convinced. ”
"Uh......" Ah Chu seemed to know who was eating supper at the roadside food stall, and before he could come up with a third name, Tu Lin continued, "I thought they were counter-reconnaissance, but it turned out that they were really eating supper, and they knew that I had bombarded it." ”
"I don't think they should have been able to kill them when this bombardment passed. Because of someone with great luck like Uncle Cao, the flying cannonballs may be able to turn......" Achu muttered to himself, and Tu Lin, who was two meters away from him, didn't hear what he was saying.
Tu Lin continued, "You showed good results in tonight's game, very good, I thought you would wear that suit to participate in the game, but I didn't expect you to practice a set of swordsmanship in private, it seems that they have trained you in the devil." ”
"Of course," Achu nodded slightly, "That's a one-week accelerated swordsmanship training class, and you won't find this kind of training class outside." ”
"Hahahahaha," Tu Lin smiled and said to Achu, "It seems that they have put a lot of thought into you, it's hard to imagine ordinary people who didn't know anything a few weeks ago...... Now you can fight against the Wanderers, your qualifications are very good. If you're expelled from Daybreak...... The door of the red spider is always open for you. ”
"Uh......" Achu was speechless when he heard Tu Lin say this, but he still had to take Tu Lin's words, "If I am expelled from the Daybreak Organization, then I won't become a wanderer?" ”
He continued, "Even if I'm homeless, Daybreak will always be a safe haven behind me. Even when I see the world as it really is, it will be my blade against it, and it will also be a shield for me to resist all harm. ”
"Wow...... That's a great way to say it. Tu Lin smiled and applauded, and she continued, "But even if you really want to come here, we don't have extra rooms for you to sleep in." Most of our empty rooms are used for groceries, which can be a lot of trouble to clean up. ”
"Unless you're willing to squeeze with them." Tu Lin pointed to the three big men behind him.
"Haha...... Then I'll lay the floor. Achu smiled awkwardly.
"Well......" Tu Lin continued to lie on the railing and look at the lights on the other side, she told Achu, "Judging from your results tonight, you have indeed improved, so next time I will personally arrest you, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"Huh?" Ah Chu was a little confused, and Tu Lin's sudden seriousness made him a little afraid.
Tu Lin smiled and said, "I didn't bring that lotus flower tonight, I'll spare you for the time being, hahahahaha." Do you remember that lotus? It's the floating andrographis that killed the CIA investigators. The last time it bloomed in that investigator's heart, then the next time it may be in yours...... Bloom again. ”
Ah Chu didn't speak, he looked at Tu Lin calmly, and the other party continued, "Don't think I'm merciful, don't think that I think I'm a person who can put down the butcher's knife after I invited you to dinner, I'm a murderer after all." The position I stand in now does not allow me to let you go, there is not much relationship between me and you. I am Tu Lin, I am the leader of the Red Spider, the head of the Crimson Triangle, not Sister Tu Lin in your eyes. ”
Achu continued to listen, the evening breeze continued to blow, Tu Lin continued, "I admit that I was indeed a little soft on you before, but that is only in the past. Now I won't show any mercy to you anymore, I and you...... Oh no, it shouldn't be said. There has to be a winner between us and you, and there can't be too much trouble on this plane, somebody has to cause it, and somebody has to fix it. ”
"You still have a long way to go, and you still have a lot to work out." Tu Lin slowly approached Achu, the distance between the two shortened by one meter, and she continued, "And my end can only be to get rid of that red-haired woman, if you want to get rid of her completely, I'm afraid there is only a dead end." After all, we're in this business, and once you're trapped, don't think about coming out again. I admit that she changed my life, I got the power I wanted, and at the same time I lost my most precious freedom. ”
"That'...... So why can't we join forces together against your boss? Achu wanted to lend a hand, but Tu Lin refused.
Tu Lin told Achu, "First of all, she is my boss, but also my benefactor, she is the one who changed my life, if she didn't appear in my world, I believe you wouldn't see me now." Be a human being...... I can't forget my roots, and I know that I'm just a pawn of hers, a pawn that will be discarded at any time, so I can only hold the chips to be qualified to discuss freedom with her. And not everything can be expected clearly, I do things for her, at first just gratitude, then to make money, because the salary she gives is really high, and in the end, ...... It was numbness, and I couldn't walk if I wanted to. ”
She continued, "If I had known the situation in the morning, if I had known in the morning that I would be indecisive with you, then I would not have repaid the favor. But I can't turn back, since I do things for her, then I will do things seriously. As the saying goes, 'take people's money and eliminate disasters for others'. ”
Ah Chu didn't speak, he couldn't bear to look at Tu Lin, she thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe I will one day...... Betraying her, I believe that I was not joining forces with you at that time, and I don't like to join a new group very much, so I will choose to fight alone. I hope that day will not come, I would rather be defeated at your hands, which can be regarded as a glorious sacrifice. ”
"Then in the next few days, let's play seriously, we will use all our strength to defeat you and avenge the dead." Achu stared at Tu Lin with an unwavering gaze.
Tu Lin smiled and applauded, "I'm glad you didn't sympathize with me, because that would be too inconsistent with the identity of a 'chivalrous man'." Your future is to be a big hero who saves the world, there is no need to feel sorry for a little person like me, and you don't have to sympathize with me. Because that is the path I have chosen, I have to bear all the unknown cause and effect. ”
She finally said, "What kind of thing to do and what kind of game to end, I should know from the beginning." May your flame of vengeance burn the sky, and that dawn will crush the darkness. ”
"Uh-huh." Achu nodded and asked, "Aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?" ”
Tu Lin smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid of fire." ”
"Hahahaha interesting," Achu smiled and wondered, "how can someone not be afraid of fire, and you are not a flame person." ”
"Also, if I'm a flame person, I'll open a barbecue restaurant directly, and then open a Western restaurant, remember to come and visit when the time comes." Tu Lin said to Achu with a sweet smile.
She took a few steps back with her hands outstretched, she turned to face the quiet river, and asked Achu as she greeted the evening breeze, "Son of prophecy, can you predict the outcome of the game between us?" ”
"Hmm......" Achu hesitated for a long time and couldn't answer Tu Lin's question.
Tu Lin asked Ah Chu while confessing his thoughts, "It seems that you can't predict the future that is too far away, and you little prophetic son is just like that." I think so...... It's not so much that you can't predict the outcome of the game, it's that you don't trust your organization. You have to believe in your organization, but you have to believe in your eyes. Prophecy is just knowing the answer in advance, and if you can't see the future, then you can also deduce the future. If your prophecy gives you a false future, do you choose to believe it or not? ”
"Well...... this," Achu still hesitated, and didn't know what to say.
Tu Lin smiled and understood Achu's hesitation, she continued, "It seems that you haven't encountered a mistake in prophecy, forgive me for talking nonsense, but I still want to inform you that any rumor or hearsay must be witnessed in person to be believed, because you don't know how much water is mixed in it, otherwise what is the difference between this and a bedtime story." I haven't learned your powers of foreknowledge, but I think ...... It's no different from the 'prep-study' of school. If you have prepared for the next text, then when the Chinese teacher talks about this text in class, you can easily understand it and raise your hand to answer. ”
"What if the Chinese teacher temporarily changes a text? So what do you do? This sentence was like a golden-bronze bullet between Ah Chu's eyebrows, Tu Lin watched Ah Chu fall into endless contemplation, she nodded and understood.
She continued to tell Achu, "As long as you have strong enough ability, no matter how difficult a text is, listen to the teacher tell you what it is." Isn't it possible to listen to this text without studying it? Sometimes the battle is like this, and you have to face unknown attacks. Your prophecy may tell you what kind of enemy you will fight tomorrow, but will your prophecy tell you how to fight your enemy? ”
She looked at Achu and still couldn't answer, as if her brain was down, Tu Lin said earnestly, "I told you just now, your journey is still far away, and there are still many things that need to be exercised. I think you can do it, and I believe you...... For you are the child of prophecy. ”
It was this sentence that directly made Achu's heart beat faster, why would anyone believe that he was the son of prophecy more than him?
"Thank you, Tu Lin......" Achu smiled and thanked him, he didn't say the last two words.
Tu Lin smiled and waved her hand, "Thank me, what are you doing?" I'm not your mentor, I just want my enemies to be stronger so they can match me. ”
"Uh-huh." Achu nodded.
Tu Lin looked at Achu with his hands in his pockets before leaving, "There's nothing more to say, if there's anything else you want to say, let's talk about it next time we meet." I'm going home to sleep, so you can get some rest. Young people stay up less late, which is not good for their health. ”
Ah Chu nodded and didn't say anything, she watched Tu Lin turn around and leave.
"Let's go, let's come over to eat at the seafood restaurant here next time, and the fat man will have a treat next time." Tu Lin pushed the three big men away.
The fat man looked confused, "What? Why do I pay for every meal? I also paid for Halloween before, I paid for your treat, and I paid for your treats, and the good people let you be, when can I be a good person? ”
"It's almost time, you are the best man in the world." Tu Lin told the fat man impatiently.
"Oh yes," Tu Lin turned to Ah Chu and said, "I forgot to answer you one thing, don't you want to know about my past?" I don't want to tell you about this question just yet. If you've experienced bullying at school, then I can tell you without wasting extra saliva. Well, that's it, good night. ”
After speaking, Tu Lin turned around and left, and the fat man and the others followed behind Tu Lin.
"School bullying?" Achu frowned and pondered what Tu Lin said.
