The July sun is at its hottest, and even when you stand on the cool beach, the blazing sea breeze can make those who stay on the beach pray for a little coolness. Somewhere the dock was full of yachts and boats, but it was a tiny fraction of the size it had been a month earlier.

The streets along the coast are remarkably clean, with buildings made of yellow bricks standing on the shore, and behind them are green forests and mountain peaks...... Together, these make up the most striking scenery on the coast. This is the port of Fino, the most beautiful port in the whole of Italy, and indeed in the whole of the Mediterranean.

It's the hottest time of the year, but the number of people who linger here at the moment is not as many as expected, and it can even be said that it is rare. There were only a few people on the streets that were originally bustling with people, and most of the shops on both sides were closed, so you can tell that they haven't been open for a while. Last year, this was unthinkable.

Somewhere on the pier, dressed in black and carrying a cross, the priest from the church of San Martino was facing the incomparably calm sea and said: "Today we pray for the souls who are still in purgatory after death, hoping that through our humble prayers they will soon be in the company of all saints......"

Behind the priest, the eyes of the people who were also dressed in black were either sad, dull, or confused...... They may not know each other, but they have one thing in common: a month ago, they lost their loved ones, their loved ones, and their best friends in the tsunami that swept from Tyrrhenian to the coast of Italy.

In that tsunami, even the port of Fino, which was off the Tyrrhenian Sea, was affected. Countless people gathered here in anticipation of a perfect summer, duly alerted to the tsunami, huddled in the hotel. But it is clear that this is not a tsunami caused by nature, and it is not something they can stop.

Flooding the streets with watery waters several metres high, people who never thought they would be hit by a tsunami paid a terrible price. This sudden sea water comes and goes as fast as it goes. The receding waters have taken away the prosperity of the place, and it has also taken away many people.

"May the living mourn and the dead rest in peace, Amen!" The priest said, drawing a cross on his chest and bowing his head in silence.

The black-clad crowd behind him did the same, bowing their heads in silence for those who had disappeared into the ocean and would never return. There were already not many people on the beach who put down their entertainment and bowed their heads in silence...... And now such a scenario is playing out on all the coasts of Italy facing the Mediterranean.

Dressed in a white suit that was very different from the others, Caesar placed a river lamp on the surface of the sea far from the crowd. Beside him, Fingal silently pushed out the river lantern in front of him. Chu Zihang stood on the shore and watched the river lantern that he had put down drifted farther and farther. And Percy and Susie, a group of people who had returned from the Nibelungen, stood quietly on the shore.

Naturally, these lanterns were made by the ingenious Susie herself, and the appearance of this ritual from the East did not attract much attention in the Mediterranean, because there are people from other countries who use their own customs to honor the vanished people. And Caesar's white clothes are not to cater to the white affairs of the East, but just a simple hospital gown.

"The disaster was stopped, everyone was saved, there was no sorrow, no tears, everything was happy...... This kind of thing only exists in the imaginary world. Fingal stood up and said silently.

His gaze was extremely deep, and his voice was extraordinarily low, which was diametrically opposed to his usual appearance, which made people very unaccustomed to it...... Perhaps he himself knows that now is not the time for gags.

Caesar looked at him silently, and then at Chu Zihang, who was speechless. He and Patsy were paying tribute to the people who had disappeared with the Nibelungen, the world was not black and white, and not everyone of the Cato family hated him.

Fingal, on the other hand, was a tribute to the people who may have been in the Nibelungen a long time ago, but who had just disappeared. As for Chu Zihang, he told them about the viaduct that happened on that rainy night for the first time, and let them understand why he had always been so bitter and hateful.

"That's the reality." Chu Zihang's black eyes silently stared at the sea and said, "Even if you are a superhero, you can't take care of everyone." ”

Susie glanced sideways at him, silently turned her head, and fell silent with him.

"But even so, you still have to grab what you have at hand." Caesar stood up and patted the mud and sand on the hem of his clothes, "I should go back, otherwise the nurses in the hospital, and my father, who is already fine but still wants to send me in, will go crazy." ”

Patsy behind him chuckled softly, "That's proof that he cares about you, isn't it?" ”

Caesar shook his head indifferently: "If this concern had come more than ten years earlier, I think I might have been happier." ”

He looked at Patsy, who was wearing the same hospital gown as him, "Well, you too, it's time for the Gattuso family hopefuls to go back...... Having said that, I seem to be a little ashamed. ”

Chu Zihang glanced at the beach in the distance, Susie beside him followed his gaze, looked back at him and said, "It's not a wise choice to go up and disturb at this time." ”

“…… I know. Chu Zihang nodded.

Susie turned her face a little inexplicably, and the two hands behind her back stirred together and said, "So, do you want to walk together?" Today's weather seems to be pretty good. ”

Chu Zihang looked down at her, because he was facing back, he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but he could also see that the fair skin on her neck under her long hair had become rosy.

The breeze blew and Susie's long hair brushed the tip of his nose, making him want to sneeze a little, and then he nodded: "Okay......"

Retracting his gaze from the sea, Fingal looked left and right: "No, what about people?" I'll go to God, where are the people? ”

No one else could see it, and the girl in the white dress gently landed beside him and said, "You should spend a lot of time remembering the past like you?" ”

Fingal looked left and right again, and then the deep look on his face disappeared, and he took Eva's hand with a flattering expression: "Look, shouldn't we also find a place...... Well, sit down? ”

"I said, do you still think of yourself as a student in your teens and twenties?" Eva tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

She smiled beautifully, and her overly white skin reflected the sunlight, which was fascinating. Then passers-by saw it, a burly man with a head of 1.8 meters smirking at the air.

"Ahem......" Coming back to his senses, Fingal whispered, "Well, no, the eighth grader is in the bottom." Also, I'm in my twenties, and that's not a fake! ”

"Congratulations, you're not anymore from today." Eva continued to smile, "Executive Department Number 022077, A-Level Commissioner Fingal von Frings, welcome to the Executive Department. Have fun, your performance has made you skip the internship stage. ”

"What's that...... Can you let me go to the logistics department or the medical department? I really can't do it, and the psychology department can do it. Fingal whispered, "It's not that there are more girls there and the executive department is too troublesome or anything, but I simply think that I might be quite suitable there." ”

"No......"

On the other side of the beach, Chen Motong glanced back at Fingal, who was standing alone on the beach and making a collapse. She shook her head and stopped paying attention, and looked back at Lu Mingfei, who was sitting on a beach chair in front of her, taking a cool ride under the parasol, and looking at the sea in front of her silently.

He uncharacteristically changed out of his formal suit, wearing beach pants and a short-sleeved shirt, and no matter how he looked, he looked like he was enjoying summer. In addition to her, Zero, who could feel the coldness just by standing beside her, changed into a white one-piece swimsuit like snowflakes, and with cold white skin like ice, it was quite conspicuous in the sun.

She was piling up the sand with the bear doll that didn't leave her, and it was still the Kremlin to see the unusually complicated pattern. If the students at school called her the Iceberg Princess, they would probably be stunned if they saw it. However, the title of the iceberg princess is not wrong to some extent.

The same one-piece swimsuit, but a black wine Mai lying on her stomach on a beach mat, flipping through the fashion magazines in front of her. There was also a black translucent beach towel around her slender waist, and her two long legs loomed in the beach towel, giving Chen Motong a considerable blow.

"They are all Asians, why is there such a big difference...... Chen Motong thought in pieces, looking down at himself, all red swimsuits. The figure that seems to be developing again is also first-class among Asians, but compared to the long-legged spirit in front of him, there is still a little gap.

】

"It's gone...... Gone...... It's all gone......" Su Enxi had the same collapsed face as Fingal, and the duck sat on the beach like a duck.

She was wearing a pink swimsuit with lace, and she looked particularly girly, which was in very strong contrast with the usual image of a strong woman in a business dress. The waist and thighs that are not related to slenderness, and even have a little fat make Chen Motong regain a little confidence.

Su Enxi is now like a squirrel who found that all the nuts he had stored for the winter were gone, and he said with dull eyes: "It's gone, my hope, my life, and my motivation to survive are all gone......

It can be seen that all the snacks that have been stored triumphantly for a while have evaporated inexplicably, which is still quite a big blow to her.

After a month ago, and many people went to the festival, there are not many people on the beach at the moment, and there are only a few of them in this originally popular corner, as if it was a chartered venue.

"I said, aren't you a school director? Aren't you afraid of being late when you stay here? Mai couldn't stand her crying and kicked her.

Su Enxi still cried with a sad face: "That's just work, what I don't have now is life!" ”

"Okay, okay, my sister will buy you the snacks, so get up and work." Like coaxing a child, Jiude Mai picked up Su Enxi and dragged her away like a piglet.

"Tap the long legs! You treat me like a pig? Su Enxi rebelled dissatisfied.

"What do you say, pigs aren't as heavy as you."

"Long legs!"

The noisy acting school director and her bodyguard left, Chen Motong breathed a sigh of relief, as the saying goes, three women in one play, plus she is already four, and I don't know what the scene will evolve into if it continues.

She stood in place for a long time, hesitated a few times with her hands behind her back, and then said to Lu Mingfei's back: "What, thank you again for saving me several times or something......

Zero stopped the Kremlin in his hand, which was about to be completed, and glanced back at her, his eyes staring at her inexplicably flowing out as if he was looking at some kind of fool. This time it wasn't Chen Motong's imagination, but she really showed this kind of look!

Chen Motong crossed the beach chair and stood in front of Lu Mingfei, looked at the sleeping Lu Mingfei speechlessly, and then patted his face: "...... Am I a fool? ”

She sat on the beach mat left by Mai Jiude, took the cold drink on the tray next to her, bited the straw, and blew into the glass. It took a long time for her to look at Zero, who was planting the bear flag for the completed Kremlin.

"The ......," she said, after a moment's hesitation.

"Don't ask anything, don't delve into anything." Zero replied coldly, "When you should understand something, someone will naturally tell you." ”

"No, I mean to say, your bear ran away." Chen Motong said silently, pointing to the bear doll that was sneaking towards the sea.

After arresting the fleeing Zoro and imprisoning him, Zero suddenly asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Hmm...... Come to think of it, it's quite a lot, but don't worry, I know what to ask and what not to ask. Chen Motong said.

She thought for a while, looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "Do you know red?" ”

Zero looked back and glanced at her from top to bottom.

"I'm not talking about me." Chen Motong said, "I mean ......"

Before she finished speaking, Lu Mingfei, who woke up slowly, took out a pair of glasses by his side and put them on, and then asked a little confusedly: "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

“…… Two hours. Zero answer.

Chen Motong didn't need to explain anything, she understood what the red color she was asking was. Before Lu Mingfei put on his glasses, an incomparably conspicuous red overflowed from his eyes.

……

Somewhere on the top of the mountain, in a room that is closed on weekdays and only opens once a year, people in uniform black suits are bowing their heads in silence.

"May God forgive you, as you forgive others, men come from dust and return to dust, may your soul rest in heaven, Amen......" said a patriarch dressed in black like a priest.

"Then, after a moment of silence for the departed, allow me to declare......" Ange stood up in silence, "the long-awaited Senate is reconvened. ”
