December 23, 2020 at 1:00 p.m.

Christianfield, the station of the Taiji Dragon Twin Towers.

Cheng Mo sat up from the bed, got dressed and got out of bed, picked up the glasses on the bedside table and put them on. At this time, the room was empty, not only Bai Xiuxiu was not there, but even Xie Minyun was not there, which made Cheng Mo feel strange. Because of Chen Fang's potential threat, Cheng Mo asked Bai Xiuxiu to find a reason to transfer him from his original bedroom and hide in the double room of Xie Minyun and Bai Xiuxiu, who he thought was the safest.

Bai Xiuxiu rarely appeared in the room these days, and even if she did, it was the time period when Cheng Mo entered Asgard. Cheng Mo glanced at Bai Xiuxiu's bed, although it was neatly folded, as if it had not been moved, but the box under the bed was placed at a slightly different angle than yesterday, plus there was a faint smell of powder and perfume in front of the makeup mirror, Cheng Mo knew that Bai Xiuxiu was in the room in the morning.

Cheng Mo didn't know if Bai Xiuxiu deliberately avoided him, in his opinion, Bai Xiuxiu's busyness was true, and the deliberate component was not small. Cheng Mo put on his shoes and walked to the desk by the window, usually Xie Minyun was studying at the table at this time, she rarely left the room, either reading or meditating, but today she was not there, which was the reason why Cheng Mo was strange.

He walked to the window behind his desk, opened the curtains and looked out, the sky was overcast, fine snowflakes were flying, and the whole of Christenfield was turned into a snow country, and the eaves of the spire were covered with white snow. Although he was wearing a constant temperature Tai Chi Dragon uniform and still staying in a heated room, Cheng Mo felt a cold chill. He stood in front of the window and looked out at the courtyard that belonged to the Japanese kamikaze, and it was empty, except for two lines of footprints that cut straight through the middle of the courtyard, like a mechanical painting.

Looking at the snow scene and being silent for a moment, Cheng Mo put down the curtains, took out the Black Death mobile phone from his pocket and opened the secret mailbox to take a look, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill had already replied to his email, and tactfully expressed that he was not interested in the secrets contained in Asgard, and he did not dare to cooperate with Cheng Mo and offend the Star Gate.

The black word 'dare' on the screen pulsed in Cheng Mo's pupils, and he held up his mobile phone and closed his eyes, and went through all the conversations between Saionji Red Pill and himself so far, before he began to reply to Saionji Red Pill's email.

"Red Pill Jun, let's not talk about what Asgard can gain, I just want to ask you, isn't it interesting to challenge the Star Gate?" Cheng Mo just typed this sentence and clicked send, and then he planned to wash his face and brush his teeth, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door of the bathroom, Red Pill of Xiyuan Temple replied.

Cheng Mo looked at the email, only to see Xiyuan Temple Red Pill wrote: "Mo sauce, you don't understand me well enough! Let me tell you, I've always been strange why I'm so tired and bored, I used to blame my family and myself, and then I went for a physical examination, only to find that my brain is different from ordinary people, my brain is in charge of fear of the amygdala is duller than ordinary people. ”

As soon as Cheng Mo finished reading the letter, he received the second letter.

"That is, I have to be stimulated by more people than the average person to feel scared. Only at this time did my adrenaline and dopamine secrete sharply. So, it's not that I don't feel fear, it's that the stimulus that makes me fear is high, and I am only happy when I feel fear and overcome the things that make me afraid. ”

"That's why I love the feeling of walking a tightrope to death, which is so sweet that it tastes like poison. But I can only challenge the limits of survival, and only when I challenge the limits and break through the limits can I get the ultimate pleasure. Sending me to death doesn't give me any pleasant feelings. Challenging the stargate is certainly fun, but sending it to death is not fun. For now, I won't have much thought about Stargate until I become a god general. Because that's no different from sending to death. ”

After three letters, Saionji Red Pill did not continue to be sent. Cheng meditated for a while, went into the bathroom and sat on the toilet and began to type: "Hongmaru-kun, I am similar to you in the matter of facing fear, but my fear is very stimulating, not because of family, personality or any other reason, but because I have had heart disease since I was a child, and I have exercised a cold heart in the fight against death that may come at any time." I had to keep my emotions from fluctuating too much, which made it difficult for me to feel happy......"

Cheng Mo clicked send, and then began to write a second letter.

"I used to think that I liked security, but as I entered the inner world, I realized that what I really liked was not security, but the strong stimulation of wandering on the tip of the knife, but I had not experienced this feeling before, so I mistakenly thought that I liked security. But I didn't join Tai Chi Long because I liked this kind of stimulation, nor did I try my best to fight against Xingmen because I liked these stimuli. For me, these are only incidental, I have studied the Ruins Land, and I have found that many things point to obvious things, and I should know it, but these things are not allowed to be discussed...... You said your goal was to become a god, so do you know what my goal is?"

"What?" said Saionji Red Pill replied in seconds.

"I want to know who the 'Creator' is! I want to know behind the Chosen One...... What the hell!" Cheng Mo finished typing these two lines, his breathing became involuntarily short, his fingers hovered on the "send" and did not fall for a long time, and after a long while, Cheng Mo licked his dry lips and clicked send.

At this moment, Cheng Mo felt a little tightness in his chest, and his whole body was cold, like a cold wind outside the window, blowing him like leaves fluttering in the wind. He knew what she was talking about, no one discussed the matter on the Chosen One forum, and in private, the students of the Tai Chi Dragon could make small talk, but they could not ask and study, which was a taboo subject for any owner of Uroboros.

It is extremely abnormal that such an important matter is not allowed to be discussed and studied, and what is even more abnormal is that all the Chosen ones remain silent in this vast fog that cannot be ignored and avoided.

Cheng Mo remembered that his father, a powerful chosen one, had died in an accident so easily, and his slightly confused gaze turned deep, gloomy, and cold. Cheng Mo clenched his phone, he straightened up, turned his head to look at the mirror in the bathroom, he looked at himself in the mirror, and wanted to know if this was his true wish, or just to deceive the red pill of Xiyuan Temple.

He stared into his eyes, and found that he had been restraining his desire to explore the mysteries of danger, and that it was because of longing.

Maybe it was because he was his father's son, or maybe it was because he had a strong desire to learn.

Cheng Mo felt that he was being dragged forward by an invisible fate.

He was covered in a cold sweat, and at this moment, the mobile phone vibrate, Cheng Mo lowered his head, and saw that he had received a reply from Xiyuan Temple Red Pill, he opened the email, entered the password, and immediately saw the text of the email sent by Xiyuan Temple Red Pill.

"It's so much fun!"

"It's so much fun!"

"Fun!", "Fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" " "Fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" ........

.......

The entire screen was occupied by this blackened and bold "It's so interesting!", and Cheng Mo seemed to see the unbridled cold smile of the red pill of Xiyuan Temple.

It felt like he was looking at himself in the mirror just now.

(BGM IN THIS CHAPTER - "T-KT" Hiroyuki Sawano)

"Didn't you go downstairs to eat?" Xie Minyun said as he closed the door and walked towards the room.

Cheng Mo, who was sitting at the desk, raised his head from the computer, looked at Xie Minyun and shook his head and said, "I don't really want to eat." ”

Xie Minyun walked over, took out a piece of "Dove" chocolate from his pocket and put it on the table like a trick, and said casually: "Just now my uncle gave me two pieces, I ate one piece, and I kept one with you." After a pause, Xie Minyun looked at Cheng Mo's forehead and asked, "Why are you sweating?"

Cheng Mo didn't go to get the chocolate, but pushed away the computer chair and stood up, he walked around the table to Xie Minyun's side, and slightly probed close to Xie Minyun's cheek and sniffed.

Xie Minyun was startled by Cheng Mo's sudden action, thinking that he was going to kiss her, he subconsciously tilted his head back and dodged, blushing slightly and said, "Do it.... What to do?"

"You're lying, you didn't eat chocolate just now, you don't have the taste of chocolate between your lips and teeth. Cheng Mo reached out and hugged Xie Minyun's soft and slender waist and said.

"I didn't lie to you, is it necessary to lie to you for a piece of chocolate?" Xie Minyun said softly.

"Let me taste it!?"

"Taste what?"

Cheng Mo spoke and replied with firm actions. Originally, Cheng Mo thought that he would face Xie Minyun's ruthless rejection, but to Cheng Mo's surprise, Xie Minyun just dodged a little and did not resist too much, so the sweetness of the chocolate taste rippled in the room. (A few words omitted)

A newlywed couple stayed in the room for a while, although they didn't really do anything, but for Cheng Mo, such a reward was enough to be happy.

Xie Minyun let go of the hand around Cheng Mo's neck, pushed Cheng Mo away a little, and instead grabbed Cheng Mo's hands to prevent him from moving, bit his lip, and asked in a low voice, "How is Asgard's mission going?"

Cheng Mo whispered: "At present, it can only be said that there is hope, but the final result is difficult to predict, the Star Sect has sent two Heavenly Chosen Ones who rank in the top 100 on the Heavenly List, it is really a bit difficult to ....."

"If you say there is hope, then there should be a lot of hope. But I don't seem to have any hope at all when I listen to my uncle's tone?"

"I didn't dare to say big things, and I didn't get the provincial one, which disappointed everyone. Cheng Mo said lightly.

Xie Minyun pecked Cheng Mo's cheek shallowly, and then said, "I believe you can do it." ”

"I hope so!" Cheng Mo said, "it's just ..... That's what you said when you saw your uncle?"

Xie Minyun shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "There are other things." ”

Xie Minyun didn't tell Cheng Mo that Xie Guangling asked her to leave Christinfield today, let alone tell Cheng Mo, she directly refused Xie Guangling, and quarreled with Xie Guangling because of this matter.

Xie Minyun didn't have any expression on his face, and what he said was an understatement, but Cheng Mo knew Xie Minyun too well now, he remembered the news he had just gotten from the Red Pill of Xiyuan Temple, saying that all the members of the Taiji Dragon were under the surveillance of the Star Gate, he frowned and asked, "Did your uncle tell you to leave?"

Xie Minyun opened his mouth in some surprise, and immediately said in a low voice: "It is said that there are some problems on the Russian and German sides, and the situation in Europa may deteriorate recently, so my uncle asked me to return to China first, but I didn't want to specialize, so I didn't agree." ”

Even if Xie Minyun doesn't say it, Cheng Mo knows that Xie Minyun won't leave, and there must be his own reasons for this. This juncture Xie Guangling told Xie Minyun to go, it is definitely not a trivial matter, linked to Xie Guangling's speech yesterday, Cheng Mo immediately realized that Xie Guangling was preparing for the evacuation of Christianfield at any time, Cheng Mo's heart became more and more uneasy, he let go of Xie Minyun's hand and said: "No, I also think you should go, Christianfeld is in danger......"

"Then I can't go. ”

Xie Minyun's tone was indifferent, this called Cheng Mo a little big, he knew that Xie Minyun was not a person who would be easily persuaded, sighed, walked to the window, and opened the curtains completely, the snow outside was still endless, and the street was empty, it seemed that this was a quiet, peaceful and pure world.

Xie Minyun walked up to Cheng Mo and said softly: "Don't be nervous, my uncle told me to go just in case, things are not as bad as on K20, otherwise what about so many students? I think I still have complete consideration in the organization." ”

Cheng Mo didn't think so, he had never believed in such a thing as an organization, but at the moment, he couldn't convince Xie Minyun, so he could only say noncommittally: "I hope!"

Xie Minyun sensed that Cheng Mo was a little angry, it was obvious that he didn't want her to stay here, but how could she leave Cheng Mo alone in Christianfield?

Xie Minyun is not a person who is good at expressing himself, so the two of them stood in front of the window and stared at the snow-white fairytale world outside the window, and did not speak for a long time, until the sky became dark, and the lamp in the room illuminated the glass, showing the shadows of two people, which changed from blurry to clear as night fell, until the world was engulfed in darkness, and the glass became a mirror.

Unable to see the outside, Cheng Mo didn't feel bored, because he could see Xie Minyun in the mirror, and he could see her beautiful eyes, and what surprised Cheng Mo was that he couldn't see the snow through the window, but he could see the reflection of the snow from Xie Minyun's shining eyes like a lake reflecting the sun. This scene is like a movie lens, where the virtual image reflected in the mirror is superimposed on the real object behind the mirror, flowing with the flow of snow. And Xie Minyun was also looking at himself in the mirror without blinking, his eyes were serious and sincere. Cheng Mo felt that his eyes had also lost focus, and everything became illusory.

This is an indescribable beauty, which makes Cheng Mo's heart tremble, especially when the light shines on Xie Minyun's face, he feels that he and Xie Minyun's refracted gaze are intertwined, forming a river that transcends time and space, just like a galaxy across the blue sky when the weather is fine.

Cheng Mo briefly forgot the imminent task, forgot the unpredictable danger, and looked at Xie Minyun in the mirror like this, as if separated by a long and long life.

Because of the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the glass windows quickly condense fine moisture.

The mirror is gone.

Xie Minyun raised his finger and wrote on the window one by one: "O stars! What made you pass through the dark space, experience the distance of light years, and project it into my eye sockets. ”

After writing this sentence, Xie Minyun grabbed Cheng Mo's hand and wrote under the glass with his fingers: "It's because I want to give you a little light." ”

Cheng Mo couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "I'm not so literary." ”

"This is what I wrote to you! stupid..... I'm Starlight!"

"Really?" asked Cheng Mo.

Xie Minyun leaned on his shoulder, Cheng Mo held Xie Minyun's hand, and the two of them quietly looked at the twilight snow outside the window in the confusing evening scene through these transparent words, as if they were watching a long and boring literary movie......

December 24, 2020, 2:00 a.m.

Cheng Mo arrived at the foot of the hill of Gisfeld Abbey, and he stood on a small hill looking up at the monastery built on the top of the hill, which was not very high, and the whole top of the hill was a castle-like monastery. The moonlight and starlight were obscured by dark clouds, and only black crows swirled like whirlpools over the spires of the abbey, which sensually felt less like a monastery and more like a vampire count's castle, giving it an oppressive and terrifying feeling.

"Looks like it's easy to defend and hard to attack!, but it's not a big problem for the Chosen One. A man in a Tai Chi dragon uniform next to Cheng Mo said in Japanese.

"I'm in charge of Daniel King...."Cheng Mo turned his head to look at the man next to him and replied in Japanese in a low voice.

The man was followed by thirty people, all of whom were Ritai kamikaze masters wearing Taiji Dragon uniforms, and behind Cheng Mo were more than a dozen NPC knights, plus the Sunflower Banner and Taiji Dragon following the Star Gate team.

When the decisive battle was approaching, Cheng Mo finally united everyone who could be united.....
