"Ahh

"Ahhh!!h

Xu Yuanhang hugged his head and shrank in the corner of the bed, his body curled up and trembling, wailing in pain.

Beads of sweat kept pouring out of his forehead and back, and soon made him drenched like a chicken in soup fished out of water, and his clothes were crumpled against his skin, looking extremely embarrassed.

His mind was stirring as if he had been stuffed into a stone the size of a millstone, and all kinds of bizarre and strange visions kept flickering and playing in front of him.

The physical body was extremely painful, but the soul felt a sense of stagnation and blockage, as if it had been bound by this physical body for too long, and could not wait to get out of the body, so that even the soul began to tear and split with the physical body.

At this moment, his painful and distorted face was very similar to the girl who had the source disease in Sheena's clinic.

"This is the price you need to pay for forcibly using other people's strength, Xu Yuanhang."

Cowering in the corner like him, the shadow that blended with the darkness twisted exaggeratedly on the wall, and whispered in his ear in a hoarse voice:

"You want to be a hero, you want to get ahead, you want to be worshipped, you want to be above others, you want to be glorified, you want to be famous, you want to ......be famous, you want to be famous, you want to be famous, you want to be a hero, you want to be admire

"How is it possible not to suffer and not pay a price?"

"The pain in front of you is the proof to test whether you are qualified to bear these radiances, Xu Yuanhang, if you want to become strong, if you want to stand on a high place and not be blown down by the wind, you must have the strength to carry these pains."

"I hope you don't let me down."

Xu Yuanhang didn't answer, except for screaming, he couldn't make any other sound.

Heroes, Worship ......

He finds this mysterious man who lives in the shadows, and he comes to this central city to prove himself.

In order to prove it to his father, to Xia Ming, to Tianhua's classmates, and to those who look down on him.

He is no worse than you people!

He didn't expect that even so, he still couldn't get rid of Xia Ming's shadow.

The dangers and calamities he encountered here were unprecedented in his life.

What to do, do you want to go back? Do you want to run away?

Do you want to go home and ask for shelter and help from your father?

Shadows or mocking or fierce voices kept coming from his ears, reminding him of a cold truth.

He knew that by now, there was no turning back.

——

After the two team members who followed him submitted their reports last night, at noon, Xia Zheng found two more letters of apology on his desk.

Two more members of the team left his command and joined other classrooms.

Xia Zheng's mood was inexplicably a little low, but he didn't show it in front of everyone.

When he went out on patrol, he walked aimlessly on the street, and unconsciously turned into a familiar place.

The apartment where the old lady lived.

"Ah, Xiao Xia, you've come to visit me again, a bad old woman."

The old lady, surnamed Hu, was quite happy and warmly invited him into the house, bringing him tea and homemade rice cakes.

The TV was playing a boring TV series, and the noise was as reassuring as the chirping birds outside the window.

While watching TV, Mrs. Hu chatted with him about trivial matters in life.

The old lady's back was slightly rickety, and her voice seemed gentle.

Xia Zheng felt an inexplicable relaxation, as if all the irritability and pressure in his heart had melted away in such a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

The sun will soon set.

Mrs. Hu turned on the stove and left him for dinner, and Xia Zheng hurriedly took the initiative to get up to help.

At this time, he found that the old lady's movements were a little sluggish and stiff when cooking, occasionally one meal at a time, card by card, like some patient paralyzed by electricity.

"Heh, people are old, and they are useless."

As if sensing his gaze, Mrs. Hu smiled self-deprecatingly, and checked the spatula in her hand, "I can't lift the pot, I can't even hold the spatula." ”

Xia Zheng hurriedly comforted him.

With his help, the two quickly made a simple home-cooked meal.

In the middle, Mrs. Hu kept praising him for his quick hands and feet, meticulous and conscientious work, and considerate and kind.

"Xiao Xia, you can often come to sit with me when you have time in the future. Old woman, I have time at any time. ”

Before parting after the meal, Mrs. Hu stuffed him with a large bag of her homemade rice cakes.

Xia Zheng had no choice but to say that he was busy with work, and he would definitely come to visit the old man again when he was free in the future.

Waving goodbye to Mrs. Hu, turning around and remembering her trembling appearance of hands and feet, Xia Zheng's eyes were slightly gloomy.

The evening glow was too bleak, and the dim light stretched the shadows, reflecting a sense of loneliness.

Xia Zhenggang didn't go far from the apartment where Mrs. Hu lived, and met a person head-on.

"Mr. Xia Zheng?" The other party called his name.

Xia Zheng stopped and looked at the other party who had been on one side or two.

"Are you...... Mr. Terred? He looked puzzled.

Treed stepped forward generously and shook his hand.

"It's me, Mr. Xia Zheng."

While shaking hands, he looked at Xia Zheng's expression and asked, "Did you encounter anything troublesome?" I don't think your face is so good. ”

Originally...... Can even Mr. Treed, who had only met once or twice, see the upset on his face?

Xia Zheng tried to keep his face straight and not let his inner emotions float outside.

If even he himself showed a tangled and sad look, then the players under his command would feel even more nervous and panicked.

"There's nothing you can't get by, Mr. Xia Zheng."

Thinking that he was worried because of public opinion on the Internet, Tried patted him on the shoulder and said in relief:

"Don't you think I also lost an important big fish and wasted an afternoon wandering back and forth around here?"

"Those comments and rumors on the Internet don't matter, as long as you have a clear conscience, isn't it?"

In all conscience?

Conscience...... Guilty?!

The entanglement and confusion in Xia Zheng's heart seemed to be broken by this sentence with a clear conscience.

Coming back to his senses, Treed had warmly invited him for a drink.

"By the way, your brother is an exchange student who just came to the White Night Psionic Academy, it seems that his name is Xia Ming, right, my sister's name is Theresia, and she is also a student of the White Night Academy, and do you know that the two of them happen to be hand-picked by the principal......"

——

Under the brilliant sunset.

After Xia Ming and Ming Feiyan separated, he came belatedly and joined up with Theresia and Kagura China.

"Xia Ming, you're late."

Kagura China looked at him with a look of guilt.

"Do you know how long my sister and I have been waiting for you? It's almost an hour! It's just a simple assembly agreement that you can be so late, I can't imagine how untrustworthy you will be and how many appointments you will break in the future. ”

She gushed out a crusade against Xia Ming, and she had to start making a fuss about the little thing of being late, and let her sister see Xia Ming's unreliability and give up her filter and liking him.

However, as soon as Xia Ming sat down, he blocked all her follow-up words with only one sentence.

"I've found the clue to the Tears of Time."

"So fast?"

Kagura China's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Isn't it deliberately trying to make excuses for being late?"

Xia Ming asked rhetorically, "Do you think I will lie to people on such an important matter?" ”

"Okay, you dead scumbag admitted it yourself, right, you're going to lie to people on other unimportant things." Kagura China accurately grasped the weakness and counterattacked.

"Alright, China."

Theresia pressed her shoulders and looked at Xia Ming, preventing the topic from being distorted by her.

"Coincidentally, when we were looking for the Tinder members, the other party actually set their sights on me, trying to catch me and force me to rescue the Fifth Tinder who was locked up in the academy."

Xia Ming concisely explained what happened.

"I was captured in their underground stronghold, where I met Veronica, the third Tinder of the Tinder Order, the Queen of Silence, and the Tears of Time just hung around her neck."

"And how did you escape?" Kagura China asked curiously.

"Feiyan arrived with a large number of psychic people from the Ming family and rescued me, but Veronica also took advantage of this to slip away, and we missed the tears of time." Xia Ming spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Ming Feiyan?"

Theresia's body suddenly sat up straight, staring at Xia Ming's eyes with blazing eyes.

Just now she stopped Kagura from turning the subject, but at the moment she was also focusing on a strange point.

The tears of time don't matter at all, after all, she has one on her chest, but she is disguised on weekdays, and others can't see it.

What matters is why Ming Feiyan is there!

"Xia Ming, can you talk about this matter in more detail and detail?"

Theresia's momentum suddenly came up, and she was completely sure of what the source of the sudden throbbing right eyelid and the inexplicable uneasiness was.

"Whether it's the Tinder organization or the Tears of Time, it's a very dangerous hazard, you must tell us all the processes without missing a trace, so that we can analyze, okay?"

Theresia actually only wanted to hear about Ming Feiyan.

Her eyes didn't blink, staring at Xia Ming's face, trying to analyze how much Ming Feiyan had eaten by observing his tone and expression.

However, how could Xia Ming be such a thief?

Theresia was stunned that she didn't find any flaws in his next description, or any weakness in her heart.

Don't...... Did I misunderstand him?

As soon as she thought of this, the guilt that filled her heart rose spontaneously, making her feel ashamed and resentful of her performance like this.

But suddenly, her intuition as a woman and her acuity, which is unique only when she catches rape, makes her realize that something is wrong.

"Qianna, could you please compile Xia Ming's description just now into a report and give it to Principal Mariana?"

She suddenly touched Kagura China's head and smiled softly at her.

"Hmm!"

Like a puppy that has been rewarded, Kagura China nodded vigorously, a look of joy on her face.

However, as soon as she turned her head, Theresia had already pulled Xia Ming out of the café, and her back had long since disappeared.

Kagura China's mouth opened wide in a daze.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

Under the sky surrounded by the sunset, Xia Ming was held by Theresia and flew in the air.

"Theresia, didn't you say that you were going to ...... in front of outsiders?"

"I know, it's my little secret and yours."

Theresia tilted her head slightly, a sly smile on her lips, "So...... As long as others can't recognize us, isn't it? ”

"Xia Ming, don't resist my psionic powers."

She stretched out her finger and tapped it lightly on Xia Ming and herself.

The physical appearance of the two suddenly changed slightly, although it was a subtle change, but the small changes in various details were enough to make people who knew them see that they would only think they were another person.

Theresia has learned a lot of spiritual techniques in the Spirit Hall over the years, some of which are not useful, and some of which are extremely useful.

Xia Ming's eyes lit up slightly when he saw this spiritual technique, if he learned this, then he would have another layer of camouflage in the future.

Even if someone is unfortunate enough to take off the mask, they will not be recognized.

After all, who would have thought that the face under the mask would still be a mask?

I want to learn!

The slight change in Xia Ming's expression caught Theresia's eyes, causing the corners of her lips to rise slightly by 0.01 centimeters.

She deliberately took out this magic to lure him in, because she knew that he needed this kind of magic to facilitate his night walk.

You see, now Xia Ming doesn't let her obediently hold her palms, doesn't she have the slightest intention of resisting?

The sunset is gorgeous and beautiful, and large expanses flow in the sky, like the bare and flushed skin of lovers.

People often only get a glimpse of such a beautiful scenery from below, but Theresia takes Xia Ming to keep going up, up, wanting to enjoy such beauty from above.

"Xia Ming, has anyone accompanied you to watch the sunset?"

Her cheeks were also dyed red with the sunset, and her hair, which was stirred by the wind, stretched out her arms softly, gently scratching Xia Ming's heart.

The golden sea of clouds turned into a soft carpet for the two of them to rest, and Xia Ming naturally reached out to wrap his arms around her shoulders and let her snuggle in his arms.

"I haven't done that yet."

She sniffed and rested her head gently on his shoulder, "If you have time in the future, can you accompany me to watch the sunset?" ”

Xia Ming gently stroked her long silky hair.

"If Theresia you're willing to keep such a secret."

Secret.

It's a secret again.

Do you have such a similar secret between you and Ming Feiyan?

Theresia pursed her lips unhappily, looked at Xia Ming, who was still pretending, and suddenly kissed him on the cheek mischievously.

Kiss.

Xia Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Theresia, you ......"

Theresia turned her head away, looking at the sky, at the setting sun, at the fiery clouds beneath her feet.

Xia Ming's surprised expression made her very happy.

This shows that he has rarely, if not said, not encountered such a sneak attack.

In this way, doesn't it mean that even if the woman who smokes Ming Feiyan steals it, I'm afraid it will only be to the extent of pulling hands at most, and she won't be able to catch up with my progress at all?

At the thought of this, Theresia's mood suddenly improved.

Beneath the sea of clouds.

A high-end teahouse somewhere in the heart of Central City.

"Ming Feiyan, you're nearly two hours late, give me an explanation." Ying Caiqing looked at the girl in the white dress who was belated.

The corners of Ming Fei's cigarette mouth were cocked, Shi Shiran sat down, and the reason he said was the same as Xia Ming's.

"I found traces of the Tears of Time."

Hmph, silly woman, do you know what I did while you waited for information?

Your strength and the forces behind you are weaker than mine, so it's no wonder that you didn't dig up the information about the Tinder Organization's outcrop in time.

Ying Caiqing, you didn't eat this cup of soup today, you deserve it.

Her heart was full of pride.
