"Wow, the dinner is so rich, it's all my favorite food."

Su Rou propped her head on the dining table, and at the same time held a chopstick in each hand, grabbed it in the palm of her hand and propped it on the table, looking at the table full of delicious food and salivating:

"Brother, can you start?"

"Eat." Su Nian picked up his chopsticks and nodded.

Hearing that it was ready to eat, Su Rou instantly propped up her head, picked up her chopsticks and began to put vegetables in the rice bowl:

"Yo hoo ~ what a wonderful night."

Ji Yun also picked up chopsticks at this time, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then gave Su Nian a thumbs up:

"Brother Nian, your cooking skills have skyrocketed in the years since I was away."

"You also know that my dad is running around all year round, I can't eat takeout every day, this is a forced cooking skill, especially with Xiaorou, I have to take care of the family."

When Ji Yun heard this, he was silent for a moment, and asked after a long time:

"How did Uncle go?"

"I don't know, I went to his workplace to inquire, and the reply to me was that he suddenly disappeared during the archaeology...... It is guessed that he was recruited to the decaying world during the archaeological process, failed to pass the first novice mission, and never returned. ”

Hearing this, Ji Yun put down his chopsticks and sighed:

"I still remember that I was often beaten by my uncle with you back then, and the superpowers we have practiced hard for many years are still no match for the little stick in my uncle's hand."

Hearing this, Su Nian smiled dumbly.

Back then, he and Ji Yun were inseparable, and they would spend time at Ji Yun's house after school in the early days, often watching TV secretly.

But Ji Yun's parents are very strict with his education, and every time they come home from work, they will touch the TV and computer to see if they are hot, check whether they are doing their homework at home, and whether they are secretly playing.

In desperation, he had to transfer his position to his house.

Although my dad is often away from home, he occasionally kills a horse gun.

If they are found to be secretly playing with the computer or watching TV during their study time, they will stage the famous scene of "father's love and filial piety" by thunderous means.

At the beginning, he gave Ji Yun face back and only beat him, and Ji Yun looked at him tremblingly.

Later, with the permission of Ji Yun's parents, his father beat Ji Yun together.

This obviously left a deep impression on Ji Yun's childhood.

Talking about the past, fragments of childhood memories flashed through my mind.

After dinner, Su Rou was responsible for cleaning up and washing the dishes, Su Nian and Ji Yun took two semi-reclining folding chairs, hugged a case of wine, and went to the rooftop of the building.

The sunset is in the western mountains, and the sunset renders a corner of the sky.

The bonsai on the rooftop follow the setting sun, closing its leaves in the breeze.

Looking around the familiar environment on the rooftop, Ji Yun's eyes were full of nostalgia when he saw that the walls were still engraved with the blurred handwriting and drawings they left behind when they were children.

"Brother Nian, I still remember that we were brothers here, and we all had big dreams at that time."

Hearing this, Su Nian couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Don't mention it, it's embarrassing to think about it now."

Taking the chair and sitting down, Ji Yun reached out and opened the wooden box where the wine was placed, and said with a smile:

"It's embarrassing, I don't think it's embarrassing at all, the innocence of childhood is always the best memory in my eyes."

After propping up the folding chair and lying down, Su Nian looked at Ji Yun and asked:

"By the way, you haven't told me until now, why did you leave suddenly, is it time to give me an answer now?"

In the face of the inquiry, a trace of memory appeared in Ji Yun's eyes, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to his white hair:

"Is being terminally ill the answer?"

"Terminally ill?"

"Well, a genetic disease that caused my body to deteriorate rapidly, and my parents took me around to seek medical treatment...... That night I had another physical problem, and I didn't have time to say hello to you, so I was taken to the hospital, and then transferred to the hospital several times. ”

Hearing these words, Su Nian's mind recalled the past.

He remembered that during the period before Ji Yun left, there was indeed a problem with his body.

often lying on the desk weakly, coughing non-stop, and only shaking his hand in the face of his inquiry to say that he was fine.

"So why didn't you contact me when you're cured?"

"How can it be so easy to cure, I was in a coma like a vegetative state for five years, and in the end, the old man cured my illness with extraordinary means, and he went in because of it."

"Extraordinary means? Got in? ”

These words made Su Nian feel foggy, and in his understanding, going in generally meant going to prison.

"Uncle went to jail?" Su Nian was stunned.

"Well, the old man's job at that time was the museum's security supervisor, and the prehistoric museum he managed collected a batch of new artifacts that year, including a pill that was detected to have a strong vitality...... At that time, I could only rely on genetic repair technology to survive, so he took some extraordinary measures and is still in it. ”

As he spoke, Ji Yun took out a palm-sized box of photo albums from his pocket.

He pulled one out of it and handed it to him.

After taking the photo, Su Nian looked down, and there was a familiar figure in the photo, much older than in his memory, with white temples, wearing a striped prison uniform, and his tendons looked very strong, and he made a thumbs up gesture to the camera.

"This is a picture of the old man taken last year, and he is in good shape inside."

"Uncle wears glasses in my memory, gentle and elegant, and has a thin body, how did he become so strong in prison, it seems that he usually exercises a lot."

Looking at the figure in the photo, Su Nian couldn't help but sigh.

"You think the old man wants to exercise...... When he went to visit the prison, he told me that the place either exercises the biceps or the sphincter, and the two exercise modes are your own. ”

Su Nian: ......

In the midst of small talk, the sky was dark, and the sky was full of stars without dark clouds.

Ji Yun picked up the wine bottle and handed it to him, and asked with a smile:

"Brother Nian, what are your plans for the future?"

After taking the wine glass handed by Ji Yun and clinking glasses with him, Su Nian took a big sip and shook his head:

"You have to get by, and you have to struggle to survive."

"Do you remember when we were kids, we agreed here?"

Hearing this, Su Nian immediately understood what Ji Yun wanted to say next, and immediately said helplessly:

"Remember, we want to be the heroes who save the world and stand up when the crisis comes...... But we can't always follow the childish wishes we made when we were young, we all grow up and understand the world more clearly, and there are some things that we are destined to be powerless. ”

"Maybe I can't, but you can." Ji Yun's eyes suddenly became extremely serious.

"Don't lift me up, I know what I'm capable of...... It's good to think about dreams, not reality. ”

When Ji Yun heard this, the seriousness in his eyes faded, and he suddenly laughed, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip:

"Brother Nian, your current state is like a salted fish lying flat."

"In troubled times, we can't change the future, let alone have unrealistic dreams."

When Ji Yun heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head:

"Dreams are not fake and empty things, you can understand it as a kind of spiritual sustenance, the process of weaving dreams, but also weaving expectations for yourself to grow and progress, this is the process of accumulating motivation, so that you will not be shaken by the confusion and unknown of the road ahead, and you can wake up every day to know what you want to do...... Becoming a big hero is our dream, and it can also be the driving force for our progress. ”

Looking at Ji Yun, whose face was slightly red, but his eyes flashed with a glimmer, Su Nian was in a complicated mood.

He couldn't bear to break Ji Yun's inner insistence, but he knew what he needed to face if he wanted to save the world, which was an unshakable supreme existence.

"In this world...... How can there be so many heroes. ”

"Brother Nian, there have never been natural heroes in this world, only mortals who have stepped forward, most of them have fallen on the way forward, and a very few have become heroes in the eyes of people...... Maybe I can't, but I'm sure there will be thousands of fellow travelers who will make it impossible. ”

When he said this, he saw mixed emotions in Ji Yun's eyes when he looked at him.

Expectation, encouragement, eagerness...... Ji Yun seemed to have something in his words and wanted to tell him something.

He also didn't understand why Ji Yun was so adamant that he would have the ability to turn the tide.

"Change the subject, Brother Nian, do you remember the last card battle I lost to you here?"

"Remember, you were about to cry." Thinking of the picture of his childhood, Su Nian couldn't help laughing.

In the last game, Su Nian was so impressed, he chose to sacrifice an important hand to lure Ji Yun into the pit, and finally won the whole game.

If it hadn't been for this hand to death, he would have been the one who wanted to cry at that time.

"I didn't cry, but this trick is really high."

Chatting about the past, Ji Yun suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the starry sky above his head:

"Brother Nian, what do you think of the existence of the Purgatory God above us?"

Facing Ji Yun's inquiry, Su Nian replied after a short thought:

"Higher-dimensional beings beyond our comprehension are like ants who can't understand humans, just as we can't understand the God of Purgatory...... But the relationship between the gods does not seem to be harmonious, which is why we were recruited to take advantage of it. ”

Ji Yun nodded and continued to ask:

"What would you do if you had the ability to summon life for your own use, like the Hellgod of Purgatory?"

"Open a big harem for yourself?"

Ji Yun: ......

"Haha, just kidding, if I really have the ability of the Purgatory God, and I am still hostile to other gods, I will definitely recruit the lives of other worlds to help me fight with other gods like the Purgatory God."

Ji Yun shook his head at this time:

"Brother Nian, the model chosen by the Purgatory God is destined not to get true believers."

"What do you mean?"

"Like me, even though I am a conscription warrior of the Purgatory God, deep down I am thinking about how to kill Him...... If I were the God of Purgatory, I would pay in exchange for the loyalty of the conscripted warriors, and then form a loyal army to lead them to protect the homeland I want to protect, not to achieve my desired goal by enslaving them. ”

"Does it matter if you're loyal or not, at least the goal is achieved, isn't it?" Su Nian was stunned.

"Important, perhaps some of the enslaved ones will be able to change their lives in the process of exploring the decaying world, and gain the ability to splash the blood of the gods in five steps."

Ji Yun's words, combined with the words he said earlier, gave Su Nian a hint of illusion, Ji Yun seemed to know that he had a shadow godhead, and he always had something to say.

But when you think about it, this may not be true at all.

Except for Xiao Rou, how could anyone else know that he had mastered the Shadow Godhead, not even the Purgatory Godhead.

"Xiaoyun, how do I feel that you have something to say, don't fool me to save the world, I'm not that material."

Ji Yun didn't answer, and changed the topic again:

"Brother Nian, what do you think is the biggest change that the arrival of the conscription era has brought to this world?"

"Maybe it's changed people and made a lot of things that rarely happened in peacetime become the norm, and my combat coach told me not to be a good person in a rotten world...... Because being a good person comes at a price. ”

"Yes, the appearance of the corrupt world has revealed the ugly side of the heart...... Maybe people's hearts are not as good as we think, but they are not as bad as we think, as long as there is a shining point, it is worth our desperate protection. ”

The words went around and around, and after all, they returned to the original point.

He could hear the meaning of Ji Yun's words, and hoped to embark on the path of fighting against the God of Purgatory with him, to complete the impossible, and save all mankind.

If he had rewind the clock to ten years ago, he would not hesitate to agree, even if the end would be tragic.

But now he is no longer the second-year boy who is willing to accompany Ji Yun's blood.

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about our childhood and reminisce about our childhood."

Ji Yun finally stopped insisting, and after clinking glasses with him, he nodded with a smile.

Under the stars, on the balcony, the breeze blows...... Chatting about the past, the memories of the two were blown back to the summer of their childhood.

At that time, the sky was very blue, the cicadas were singing, and the refreshing evening breeze on the rooftop washed the soul.

These are the most carefree days of life, and the soul of the second blood is burning brighter, hotter than the summer sun.

It's just that the dream at that time has become his joke at this time, only Ji Yun is still insisting, talking about his childhood dreams are still enthusiastic and persistent.

The appearance of dancing made Su Nian see the familiar figure holding a wooden sword.

Seeing the longing in Ji Yun's eyes, Su Nian felt as if a light had shone into his heart.

This light wants to break the seal that he had buried deep in the darkness and awaken his sleeping childhood dreams.

Unconsciously, Su Nian was drunk, and in his dream, he huddled in a dark corner with his knees crossed, and he couldn't see any light when he looked up.

Confusion filled his inner world, and at this moment, he vaguely heard a loud knock on the door:

"Brother Nian, Brother Nian...... Why are you still sleeping, wake up quickly, the world is in danger, and the hero squad is attacking! ”

……

I don't know how long it took, Su Nian woke up from his slumber and found that it was already dark.

The morning light was shining from the end of the horizon, and he was reclining in his chair with a coat draped over him.

Looking up, I saw Ji Yun standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the sun rising from the horizon, the breeze blowing his short hair, and a layer of golden halo on his body, shining like a god.

Ji Yun turned to look at him at this time, and found that he had woken up, with a bright smile on his face:

"Brother Nian, I will break the shackles for you, even if I fight for my life, I will make it impossible for you."

Hearing this, Su Nian suddenly lost his breath and said:

"You're like an evil jiao, don't brainwash me, give up."

"Hey, never give up, you know I never give up in my dictionary."
