Chapter 20: The Dragon

The salty sea breeze swept the smell of blood, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the figures still standing could no longer be seen on the wide sandy beaches and grass.

In just two or three minutes, everything in this open area became silent, blood flowed, more than twenty corpses fell, witnessing the accurate and almost brutal harvest of the sniper rifles that had just been fired from the woods, and in the distance, the villa was still ringing gunshots, it ignited flames, and nearly half of the main building collapsed in the explosion, and the debris of stone and various furniture was piled up in the area of the explosion.

The swaying waves washed up the sand, swept away the flesh and blood of a corpse, and then retreated, rolling up the milky white foam, and a white line of water rushed towards it, and then—

Rumble! The abrupt wave seemed to explode on the beach, setting off a splash of water three or four meters high, and two black shadows were thrown out in this explosion, falling into the sand a few meters away, and they had already fainted. These two people were the two hijackers on the speedboat escorting Xingzhiwei and Xie Lao.

As the splash fell, a figure silently walked out of the water, it was a tall thin man in a black diving suit, his eyes calmly looked at the corpses on this large area, he looked at the villa where there was still a riot and the woods where the occasional gunshots were heard, reached out and pressed it to his ear: "It's done, do you need help?" ”

“…… That's it. In a moment, an answer seemed to be heard, and he turned, and silently dissolved into the dark sea, like a ghost.

After a while, the gunfire on the other side of the villa stopped, in the courtyard, in the house, in the corridor, only the flames were still beeping and burning, the torn wires were bursting blue and white electric sparks in the air, and there were corpses everywhere, they were either shot through by bullets, or their throats were cut, or half of their bodies were split by knives, and their hands with guns were cut off by sharp blades, I don't know when, there was a faint rustle in the air, as if something was quietly walking past in the dark, and then, The corpses were dragged into the darker corners......

The woods were the last to be quiet, after the gunfire stopped, the whole area became cold, the starlight was sparse, in the distance in the villa that was only half left, the lights suddenly turned on, the speedboat approached the shore, Xing Zhiwei and the old man were already soaked, with a towel around their bodies, and in the process of walking to the villa, they saw two men coming out of the woods, one of them was saying: "It's inconvenient to do things with your second group, sneaky, I haven't been in the limelight at all, I still want to say a few words to pull the wind, You killed all the people, everyone is the team leader, why do I have to accommodate you! Ah, Sister Xing, and this is Grandpa Xie, it's okay......"

After finishing speaking, the man who rushed over to say hello didn't seem to be thirty years old, one meter eight tall, with a handsome face that could give people a good impression, as soon as he approached, the temperature around him had already begun to rise, Xingzhiwei knew him because he was also an evolutionary, and his ability was relatively special, and he often cooperated with the research institute to do some experiments, although he looked young, he was actually the leader of the third action group in the "boundary monument", and his name was Xin Muyang.

The person he complained about not being in the limelight hadn't seen much, he was a little shorter than Xin Muyang, his appearance looked ordinary, and he belonged to the type that might not be found if he was thrown into the crowd, at this time, he was talking to people on the phone while walking, Xing Zhiwei introduced Xin Muyang to the old man, and the old man nodded, only hearing the last few words.

“…… You can notify the military region to come and clean up the scene...... The second group of the 21st National Security Bureau, team leader Ye Chi...... "The so-called" boundary monument "is actually the code name of the 21st National Security Bureau, after the phone was finished, he nodded at Xingzhiwei, which was regarded as a greeting.

"You guys sent two teams?" Xing Zhiwei was a little frightened, and asked Xin Muyang next to her in a low voice.

"Where? Just the four of us. Xin Muyang pointed to the man in the diving suit who was silently following the two of them, and then pointed to the villa, "The three are all Ye Chi and their group, and I don't have a chance to show off at all, so I can only cooperate with them, but it is also because I came in too much urgency, and even the nearby police and military did not notify the deployment, there are fewer people, and the hands are a little heavy, and it is estimated that there are few people alive......" He looked around, frowned at the corpse in that place and shrugged his shoulders, and laughed again: "Don't say it, don't say it, it's cold, Let's go into the villa and sit for a while, and wait until the army comes to clean up, and then we'll find a car and go......"

**********************

A day later, near Yuling, Qingping Forest Farm.

The convoy was in groups, the originally remote forest farm suddenly became lively today, and I don't know what government officials came over, including police cars, almost formed a convoy, and then there was a helicopter landing in the simple square, and the people in the forest farm guessed that it was probably related to the pair of little brothers and sisters who were taken in last night.

Two days later, Coral finally saw her mother, she hugged her mother and cried, Xingzhiwei also cried out in tears, grandpa came, dad also rushed over from the institute, many, many people. In the window on the second floor of a house by the small square, Lan Zi was standing there watching this scene, stunned for a while.

In the mountains and forests, the scene of the explosion two nights ago was still in shambles, and now some people were walking and watching, some were researchers, including Xin Muyang and Ye Chi, who participated in the rescue operation two days ago, the tall and thin man and another silent woman in black clothes, all looking at their respective places of interest.

"Wow......" Xin Muyang stood in the center of the cone-shaped destruction surface, opened his hands, felt the huge destructive force, and looked at the sky and slowly circled, "Who did this?" It's so handsome......"

Ye Chi was squatting next to him at this time, touching the burnt marks on the ground with his hand, and he didn't raise his head: "On the night of the incident, Dr. Xie's daughter was rescued, and later it was her friend who sent her to the police station, but his friend was injured and went to the hospital, and several killers came to chase and kill again, and it was also her friend who escaped with her, and it was initially estimated that it was him." ”

"A kid is so powerful? It's really potential, if you train it, it's definitely going to be a blast......" he muttered to himself, "I'll see you later, what's your name?" ”

"Lan Zi."

"Baskets?" Xin Muyang laughed, "Why do you call such a name, it's a curse in the north." ”

"Azusa of Mugassin."

"It's not the same ......"

Xin Muyang waved his hand, repeated it a few times with a smile, and after a while, he gradually became thoughtful, turned his head and asked again: "Basket?" ”

Ye Chi glanced at him and ignored him.

"Sango, dad and grandpa want to meet your friends, will you introduce us to you later......?"

After examining Sango's bruised chest kick and making sure that the little girl was fine, Xingzhiwei brought it up again. Originally, he said it once after crying, but at that time, Coral said that Lan Zi was sleeping, and the hearts of the group were on the little girl at that time, so he didn't say much, just said thank you when he woke up, and brought it up at this time, which was naturally more formal.

However, the surprise of seeing her parents again was at its peak, and this time the little girl's face was wrinkled, and she was a little vigilant: "What are you going to say?" ”

"Well, just say thank you, and besides, although Mom has already met him, Dad and Grandpa will also want to see your friends."

The little girl was distressed for a while: "Don't say messy things, you can only say thank you." ”

"Huh? What a mess......"

The little girl couldn't say this, she just frowned and thought, but she couldn't avoid this meeting, she whispered again: "Mom, is it okay for our family to take in Lan Zi?" He's been alone, and he's had a hard time...... Dad, grandpa, okay? ”

The three adults glanced at each other, and then they all readily agreed to this condition, and then Coral said: "Well, when he wakes up, I will call you, he is injured and unwell, don't wake him up." ”

Saying this, after a few minutes, Coral carefully walked into the room where Lan Zi was resting, only to see Lan Zi sleeping quietly on the bed, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the young man's sleeping face for a while, and then cautiously walked out and closed the door.

After a while, Xin Muyang, Ye Chi and others also came over and asked Coral about Lan Zi, but the little girl was vigilant, so she didn't have a good impression of Xin Muyang who asked about the east and west, she showed hostility, Xin Muyang couldn't help but be a little stunned, and didn't understand what she had done wrong, probably past noon. Xin Muyang made several phone calls to the headquarters of the "boundary monument", and then called the local government, asking to mobilize all the information of Lan Zi to come and see. The information was sent in the afternoon, and after three o'clock in the afternoon, he went to urge Coral to see if Lan Zi had gotten up, the little girl ignored him with a stiff face, and he played around like a treasure beside him, and for nearly an hour, Coral looked at this "naïve" adult a little unbearable, and walked to Lan Zi's room angrily.

Pushing the door open, she saw the window open, light streaming in and the curtains shaking.

There was no one in the bed.

Sango opened her mouth and subconsciously looked out the door, but there was no one anywhere, she put the back of her hand to her mouth, and tears suddenly fell out.

When they arrived in the room, the little girl was crying silently, tears like a string of pearls with broken threads, and she pressed the back of her hand to her mouth, as if to do her best not to cry out loud, which alarmed the others......

*********************

Lan Zi is gone.

The little girl cried for more than two hours, and when it was almost dark, she fell asleep like that, and the convoy began to return to Yuling, and at the same time Xin Muyang received an order, and Ye Chi and others were called to other places because of urgency, and the two sides parted ways halfway.

Eight o'clock in the evening, hotel room.

Coral fell asleep quietly on the bed, Xingzhiwei was called out for dinner by her husband, and in the evening, it was divided into a toss to find Lan Zi, and until this time, everyone was still hungry.

After the door was closed, the little girl sat up from the bed, put on her slippers, trotted out to the balcony of the hotel, and looked up at the starry night sky, and in a short time a figure descended from the sky.

"I knew you'd come back to see me!" Coral hugged him, almost crying again, and after a moment, "You don't want to go, okay?" ”

"But ......"

"Mom and Dad promised me that you can live in our house in the future."

"But...... They know I have a supernatural ability......"

"No, I don't necessarily want you to do experiments, maybe, maybe not......"

The little girl was also a little unsure, at this time she didn't have any confidence to speak, Lan Zi touched her bald head, so sad that she couldn't speak, and then the little girl finally cried quietly, after crying, she took out a blue wallet from her arms and took out all the money inside, which looked like hundreds of yuan.

"I stole my father's wallet, you are alone, and you can't go back in the future, what should I do......" she choked and wiped her tears, "but I can't give you my father's bank card, if you withdraw money, you will be photographed, so they will be caught...... Don't you go, it's okay, such a little money is not enough. ”

The little girl said, still crying while stuffing the money into Lan Zi's pocket, Lan Zi said: "I have money, ......" and there was no way to refuse the little girl's kindness.

"So where are you going from here......"

"I don't know ...... either"

"You have to come to me, come when you are short of money, I am not in Beijing, I will go to Xincheng with my parents, and my grandfather will also go over, the address is ......"

The two sat on the balcony, talking softly, starlight blinking in the night sky, looking at the tiny figure.

In the restaurant below the hotel, Sango's father looked at the bill, and when he reached into his pocket, he was slightly stunned, and then went to look for other pockets.

"What's wrong?" Xingzhiwei asked.

"Wallet is missing......"

The husband and wife and Xie Lao glanced at each other suspiciously, and then they all glanced upwards thoughtfully, of course, they could only see the ceiling of the restaurant.

"Probably in the room...... I'll go get it later......" Xing Zhiwei said, and then turned to the person who came with her, "Xiaohu, do you have any money left?" Lend me a checkout, the wallet is upstairs, and I'll get it to you later......"

The plane passed through the clouds, Xin Muyang was still frowning and thinking about things, Ye Chi glanced at him suspiciously: "What's wrong today?" Is there anything wrong with that Lan Zi? ”

"No, I think...... Maybe something very important was missed......"

"This mission involves the Gate of Truth, and it is obviously important to call us all back."

Xin Muyang rolled his eyes: "Everyone has different styles, I don't want to partner with you......"

Ye Chi turned his head and did not comment on this. Xin Muyang frowned again, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

"In the past, the chief had a son named Lan Jia'an."

Ye Chi turned his head and glanced at Xin Muyang, making sure that he was very serious, and then he spoke: "I wasn't here seven years ago, I don't know, I heard that I'm dead?" ”

"When the accident occurred at the institute, that kid was nine years old, and he ran away with a group of children, although he also stayed in the institute for two years, but he had no special abilities, and it was Emiro Harris who was chasing after this group of children, you know this person, right?"

Ye Chi was silent for a moment: "I've heard of it, I haven't dealt with it, at that time he was one of the strongest evolutionaries in the world." His ability is called ...... Demigod realm? ”

"The boy used himself as bait to lure him away in order to cover his companion...... Later, Emero was killed by the chief himself, there were too many people who died that night, and there were many dead children, and some were even crushed into pulp, and they couldn't tell the difference at all......" Xin Muyang covered his mouth and took a deep breath, "The children he saved have been looking for him, or they just want to avenge him, two of them have entered the official formation, Su Xin came in a few months ago, and he is the one who has been following the boss behind the back with a notebook to write and draw, looks beautiful but never speaks, surnamed Ming, followed the ancient team out of a mission, followed me out of a mission." , all looking at the back, didn't make a move. ”

"I know her."

"Bai Shi, it's been a year in Chen Xu's team. In addition to these two, there is actually another one, who challenged you last year and was shot out by you, Tan Yuran, the grandson of Tan Lao, he is actually the best, I don't know if it was inherited from his grandfather...... What does Japan say about Nakamura Yingda Nakamura Yuxiang brother and sister are the most outstanding evolutionaries of the younger generation in Southeast Asia, they can be called Southeast Asia, and Tan Yuran can be called the ...... of all Asia"

Ye Chi thought for a while: "Tan Yuran...... It is indeed very strong, but his heart is also strong and unqualified. ”

"It's okay to press him for two years," Xin Muyang took a deep breath and looked at the top ......of the plane, "They used to play together, and when they joked, they kept calling him by his nickname, as if they called him basket...... If Lan Jia'an is still alive, he will be about the same age as this Lan Zi......"

"The more I think about it, the more I think I might have really missed something big this time, if I stayed over there tonight...... At least more than fifty percent of the time, he will fly back to meet that little girl again......" Xin Muyang said this, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his usual cynical joke look, but at this time, he became solemn, and his right hand subconsciously slapped on the arm of the chair.

Buzz –

The lights of the entire plane blinked, followed by a violent shaking and trembling of the whole plane above the clouds, and for a moment the whole cabin panicked, and after a few minutes it gradually stabilized again. Xin Muyang opened his mouth and rolled his eyes, Ye Chi glanced at him and leaned to the side.

"If you want to kill yourself, please find the next plane, I didn't want to die with you."

"I'm sorry." Xin Muyang raised his hands, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

***********************

In the dark, he flew into the sky.

The tropospheric winds were tearing in from all directions, and he had already flown to heights that he would never have come up before, and the energy gathered around his body, enveloping him, and he continued to ascend in a free posture from what he had been.

The center of the energy ball was like being in warm water, he could feel the power of the wind, and even could see their continuous ripples blowing on the energy ball, but the cold feeling would not come to him anyway, the higher he flew, the more the clouds surrounded by water vapor became wider and thicker in his eyes, the thicker and heavier, like a lid hanging from the zenith, and finally, he rushed into the sea of clouds!

Soon, above the sea of clouds, he rushed into the amber night sky.

The Milky Way flowed quietly in the zenith, the moon became bigger and brighter, and the brilliance of the stars and moon sprinkled on this quiet cloud, just like sprinkled on the surface of a quiet lake, not just the rolling sea of clouds, and then flying upwards, looking down, he could even feel it clearly...... Earth.

Open your arms, that's freedom.

"Ahh

He shouted in the clouds, and rushed towards the tumbling clouds with open hands, and what echoed in his mind was actually the last shout of the little girl: "Remember to come to me-"

The crisp shout almost extended to the clouds.

"Remember to come to me!"

"Remember to come to me!"

"Remember to come to me......"

The voice was lingering, and the energy ball carrying the figure rushed into the clouds, and after a while, it rushed out of the clouds, and then it was submerged by the sea of clouds in front of it again, and flew out from the other side with a clear trajectory......
