Huo Yuhan and Wang Dong hurriedly hid when they heard the footsteps, hiding in a small corner, watching Lu Ming go away step by step, not even daring to ask what happened.

The old man in the room collapsed decadently on the chair, the chair that Lu Ming had made, but there was no residual heat on it, and it was even as cold as an iron plate in winter.

The old man trembled and picked up the pink notebook, slowly opened the cover, and read it carefully page by page, following the girl's delicate handwriting. Those memories of the past that I once ignored continue to grow from the depths of my mind along the words.

Like a tenacious weed, arching through the hard and formed corrupt thoughts, how could he not feel the slightest feeling when he saw a little girl who was only eleven years old being subjected to such an encounter? She's only eleven years old!

Huo Yuhan and Wang Dong slowly walked into the house, the room was filled with the choking smell of tobacco, and the sunlight wafted in the room through the smoke, as if covered with a light veil.

The two of them frowned, opened the window next to them, and watched as the viscous smoke slowly flowed out of the narrow window, forming a cyan picture outside the window.

The old man was slumped in the corner, the sunlight happened to stop at his feet, the whole body was completely shrouded in shadow, like a sculpture, and even the slight sound of insects wriggling and crawling could be heard, and the dark and damp smell poured into his mind through his eyes.

Looking at the more and more decadent and decadent old man in the shadows, like an old man who would die at any time, the two of them were startled, and after slowly approaching, they determined that this was the old man who ate with them on weekdays, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, what happened?"

The old man's cloudy eyes stared at the two villains in front of him, two girls who were also eleven years old, and he recalled Lu Ming's words, those words pierced his heart again like a steel spear, and every time he breathed, he could feel the pain of muscle tearing, and the strength of his body was slowly lost in the pain, like a leaky balloon.

As a person with the Bright Holy Dragon Martial Soul, the existence of the Martial Spirit itself always affects him at all times, allowing him to have an upright and kind heart, which is exactly what Moon is.

But when did you start to become like this? The old man pondered this question quietly, and did not answer the words of the two, and his cloudy eyes appeared in the long-standing sunset.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhan looked at the silent old man, stood beside him cautiously, and shook him gently, as if shaking a dry tree, even with a slight force, it could break and break.

Shrek Academy - the biggest pride of my life, it's always been like this...... But I had been deceiving myself, and Moon finally remembered the phenomena that he had ignored in the past.

The students who were bullied on campus, the students who bullied the commoners after graduation, the princes and nobles and the unaffordable tuition fees, and the various problems in the choice of teachers, all these phenomena that were ignored on weekdays all grew out of the young shoots at once, with a piercing pain.

Every inch of growth caused the hard concrete on top of it to burst into pieces, and every inch of growth was like sandpaper stuffed into the brain and rubbed rough on it.

It is an unwarranted sore sore spot that comes not from anywhere else, but from the most primitive nature of a person—his compassion for his fellow man, his self-reproach for his own mistakes.

There is no pain more painful than the crushing of a man's greatest pride, his only ideal, and the old man is the only ideal that has been crushed.

Even in this state, looking back on his life, he felt meaningless, ashamed of his martial spirit, ashamed of his youthful spirit.

He finally discovered why he always had an inexplicable affection for Lu Ming, it was not just the inseparable family affection brought by a long life, it was also mixed with nostalgia for the past that had passed.

He saw a boy with his own eyes, a boy who was more determined and upright than when he was younger, a boy who was more worthy of the Bright Holy Dragon Martial Spirit than himself.

He ignored Huo Yuhan and Wang Dong's slow shaking, raised his wrinkled and stiff hand, and stared at the dense lines on it.

Looking at the dense lines on it, the stiff muscles, the deformed folds, like the claws of a monster, time has made him strange, the former boy has long since died in the past, not even the slightest trace remains, only the rotten and smelly corpse full of maggots remained.

I'm afraid that when I see that I have become like this now, I can't help but come up and slap myself twice, step on his face and scold him for his incompetence, and scold myself for being a damn old brute.

Moon thought like this, thinking slowly, looking back on his life, looking back on his actions from becoming a Shrek Academy talker to now, nothingness, pure nothingness, he is just a bystander!

Forgot everything, quietly watched this filthy and huge machine roar, and threw bloody human lives into it, and what spit out was a soul master who ate human blood steamed buns.

As the album of memories kept flipping, the old man's breath became weaker and weaker, and even the sound of blood pressure and heartbeat gradually became smaller, Huo Yuhan and Wang Dong, who were next to him, also experienced this change, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Grandpa, grandpa, Lu Ming didn't mean to quarrel with you, he must have been unintentional"

"Grandpa, are you uncomfortable?"

Although the two of them didn't understand the specific reason for the quarrel, they also understood that the old man's state was extremely bad at this time, and his body was getting stiffer and stiffer.

The old man's eyes lifted slightly, and the familiar name stimulated him slightly, he looked at the mess in this place, and slowly spit out in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine, don't worry"

After saying that, he stood up tremblingly, leaning on crutches, as if he might fall at any moment, which frightened the two little girls, and hurriedly supported him.

"Ancestors of Shrek Academy, I'm sorry for you, but I have to do this, I need to atone for your sins, for myself", the old man's lips squirmed slightly, and he muttered to himself indistinctly, but only he could hear it clearly.

After the old man finished muttering, he slowly walked two steps, walked into the sun, looked out the window into the distance, the sun at the end of the horizon was still so warm, he looked at the distant sun blankly, he didn't feel dazzling at all, after a long time, his decadent breath was swept away.

The sound of blood pressure and heartbeat also slowly became stronger and harder, and standing next to him, he seemed to be able to hear the roar of blood flowing over the walls of the blood vessels, and the old man's breath changed suddenly, becoming like a young man, and his body burned like a furnace, making the two little girls next to him feel warm.

He raised his head and looked at the two little girls in front of him, the folds stood up, he smiled, and pulled the hands of the two people, "You two go find that stupid boy, don't let him do stupid things, at least not now, this will leave a handle"

"Tell him, don't let yourself be guilty for the rest of your life, just make up for the problem after you find it, let him wait for me to come back, I will make him satisfied"

The old man slowly finished saying all the words, touched the heads of the two little girls, and walked towards the outside with a cane, still trembling and leisurely, towards the Poseidon Pavilion.

The old man in the sun didn't seem to be the slightest different, but it seemed faintly different, and his eyes rekindled the flame that had been extinguished for many years, a golden flame, a flame like the sun.

That one came back again, and he had abandoned his goddamn monster-like self, this self who was blind to human blood, and he was going to carry the sins of the monster to atone for those people.

He made a decision that went against the ancestors of Shrek Academy, but at this time he didn't regret it at all, he felt that he was ashamed of the ancestors of Shrek Academy, but he was even more ashamed of those who died, and he was ashamed of the suffering on the mainland.

Shrek Academy needs some changes, even the same changes as being broken and burned into ashes from the bones, and I can't do it myself, but I can make a start and pave the way for others.

Moon laughed as he walked, as if he saw the scene of the fire burning, his lips squirmed, and he said to himself, "Xiao Ming, grandpa is not a brute, grandpa is a human, I will help you clear the obstacles." As long as I live for one day, you can have peace of mind for one day"

Under the sunshine of Poseidon Lake, the water vapor slowly rises, condenses into fine water droplets in the sky, and scatters into beautiful rainbows under the refraction of the sun.

Looking at this sky, it seems that there is a faint difference, large areas of clouds are crowded together, condensing into thick dark clouds, but it is strange that it does not block the sun, and even a rainbow can be seen between the clouds.

The breeze blows the fallen leaves on the grass, caresses the undisturbed surface of the lake, ripples one by one, many insects burrow into the dirt, and birds linger under the eaves for a long time.

The fine raindrops slowly fell, and a thunderclap sounded high in the sky of Poseidon Lake, and a little light appeared in the gloomy clouds.

The storm is coming!
