The people helped the villagers repair the village, and left a jade alarm device to contact the Great Wall to prevent the Miza gang from killing a return gun, and then embarked on the way back.

The banner of the Great Wall Guards is known to everyone in the Yunzhong area, although the sand bandits are rampant in the clouds, but even the large-scale Shazhou Brotherhood will not attack the Great Wall soldiers and horses halfway, and it will not take many days for the troops to return to the Great Wall.

Going out on a mission, several people were tired and went to rest.

Kai went to the logistics department alone to get a few bottles of sword oil for weapon maintenance, passed by the logistics canteen, thinking that he had not eaten at home for many days, so he walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone chatting loudly, and the tone was angry.

"This mission is really too much, that Haidu man is out of control again, ruining our hard work in ambush for many days, and injuring many of our brothers. ”

"That's right, seeing that I didn't have a knife, it was the guy who cut it, and even cut his own people, it's unreasonable. ”

"They all say that he has a magic armor that will get out of control, why don't I believe it, will he be pretending?"

"Hmph, that's perhaps, that Haidu man was a wanted criminal who was hunted down by us before, who knows if he has a grudge against us and deliberately 'lost control'. ”

As he went, he saw a group of wounded Great Wall soldiers chatting while eating, it was the soldiers who participated in the battle, including the adjutant who quarreled with Mulan.

The adjutant turned his back to him, knocked on the table, and complained: "So many brothers have been cut by him, I went to Chief Mulan to propose to kick that Haidu man out of the Great Wall Guards, she didn't agree, and I don't know what she thought, she had to take an unstable team member." ”

As he spoke, the adjutant suddenly noticed that his colleagues were frowning at him, and when he looked back, he saw the armor standing at the door, and knew that the words he had complained about behind his back just now had undoubtedly been heard by the main owner.

The adjutant was not embarrassed, but glared at the armor angrily, stopped talking, and concentrated on eating.

The originally noisy canteen was quiet, and many of the Great Wall soldiers who were eating did not speak, and frequently looked at the armor, and the field suddenly became cold.

Armor was silent for a while, ignoring the unwelcoming atmosphere in the dining hall and went straight to pack some food, and then left silently.

It wasn't until he walked out that he heard the cafeteria behind him come alive again.

......

Armor's lodging was a remote house assigned to him by the Great Wall, which was his own request, and he was used to being alone and did not like to live next to his neighbors.

Back at home, the armor stored the food he had packed, and without even taking off his battle robe, he sat on the bed cross-legged, his sword crossed in front of his knees, and meditated.

The mind sank into the deep sea and remained awake in the darkness.

This is a way to exercise the mind, Zeng Kai was also plagued by the emotional influence of the magic armor in his daily life, until he found this way to maintain his own personality, he overcame this problem, which is also the way to improve the control of the magic armor.

Only by touching and anchoring oneself in meditation can one enhance the mental toughness of one's personality and withstand the mental impact of summoning magic armor to a greater extent.

This is already a compulsory course for the armor every day, in order to completely control the magic armor as soon as possible, he has not slackened for a day, and because of his personality, he wants to carry more dangers for the team, which is also his motivation.

The blade needs to be sharpened, and so does the soul.

With the meditation, fragments of past memories also came flooding in, but many were blank, and it was the missing memories.

Suddenly, a fragment of memory suddenly magnified and swallowed him inside.

The next moment, the armor saw a flower in front of his eyes and came to a strange space.

There was only black and white, and I stood in a huge square, the sky was gray, the rain was pouring down, and in the distance was an endless black ocean, without tides, as silent as stagnant water.

"Is it here again......"

The armor muttered to himself.

This is a scene hidden in the depths of the soul, and the memories of the past are all blank, and only this hazy image remains.

It's not the first time he's experienced it, and every time he meditates or sleeps, he might come here, like an eternal dream.

He called it the "remnant dream".

Just like countless times before, many vague black figures appeared in the square, as if fleeing in panic, and a red figure appeared, wantonly slaughtering in the crowd, killing one figure after another, turning into smoke and dissipating into the air, and the armor himself could only stand aside, silently watching this scene go on silently, like a mime with ink.

He knew that this memory must be related to his past, but he couldn't remember the details, so he could only experience this dream over and over again, as if he was watching a video, and the only thing he knew was that the place where this memory happened should be Haidu.

When he first experienced the remnant dream, he thought that this red figure who killed the big murderer was himself, and he became a wanted criminal in Haidu...... But every time he thought about it, he would have an intuition that told him that this figure was not him.

But every time he has the desire to explore the past and retrieve his memories, an inexplicable palpitation will emerge, warning him to stay away from Haidu, as if once he returns, something extremely bad and terrifying will happen.

That's why the armor is getting farther and farther away from home, and it is all because of this strong intuition.

After a long time, the dream dissipated, and Armor reopened his eyes and shook his head.

"I've been disturbed by the remnant dream again, is it the magic armor that is preventing me from controlling it......"

Every time he meditated, residual dreams would always appear, preventing him from exercising his spirit.

Because of the amnesia, the armor knows that the deep self-personality in his heart is actually missing, and the tempering of the mind needs to anchor the self, and the lack of past memories makes his self-perception incomplete, so the meditation effect is always half the effort, and it is easier to be disturbed by the power of the magic armor.

This is the main obstacle to controlling the magic armor, but so far, he has not found a solution other than retrieving his memory, and it is also the biggest bottleneck he has encountered so far.

Come again......

Expressionless, he regained his firmness and closed his eyes to meditate again...... Even if he can't see progress, it will not shake his belief in perseverance, which is the only way he can grasp at present.

Moreover, the guilt that welled up in his heart turned into a strong motivation when he thought that the threat of Misa was still hanging over the civilians in the clouds because of himself, and he just wanted to solve the problem of the magic armor getting out of control as soon as possible to prevent something like this from happening again.

......

For the next few days, there were no new missions for the Great Wall, so the armor did not take half a step out of the house, and remained in retreat at home.

On the morning of this day, Baili Shouyu came to visit and invited Kai to his house in the evening, saying that he personally cooked and feasted several familiar colleagues, including Mulan.

Kai originally planned to meditate and exercise at home all day, but seeing that Baili Shouyu was very enthusiastic, he nodded and agreed to go to Shouyu's house as a guest in the evening.

Although he doesn't like to talk, he doesn't reject people thousands of miles away, and he doesn't exclude exchanging feelings with his teammates.

And most importantly...... The food made by Shou Shou is so delicious!

The sun was setting in the west, and soon it was dusk, and the armor went to the appointment on time, and followed the Baili who came to welcome him into the house.

There was a big table in the hall, and there were already a few Great Wall officers who had come in advance, sitting around the table, chatting casually, when they saw that someone was coming, they turned their heads to look at it, and greeted the armor politely.

Kai had seen these people a few times, and knowing that they were friends who kept the promise, he also bowed his head and found a place to sit down.

"Sit down for a while, I'm still cooking in the pot. ”

Baili Shoujo smiled, turned around and went back to the kitchen, and soon the sound of aggressive chopping vegetables sounded in the back kitchen, as well as the humming of Dunshan of unknown significance.

Several officers were all people in the clouds, and they couldn't help but talk about the customs in the clouds, because the armor had always been taciturn, and they also knew it, so they didn't talk to the armor.

Armor listened silently for a while, and when he saw that they were chatting hotly, he didn't disturb a few people, and got up and came to the back kitchen alone.

The kitchen of the covenant was several times larger than that of the armor house, and there were several stoves, all of which were lit at this time, and the pots full of dishes were on top of it, which were gurgling, and the strong aroma of stewed meat and aloe vera filled the whole kitchen, which made people can't help but jump their appetites.

"Hmm, what are you doing here, the food is not yet good. ”

Baili Shoujo was wearing an apron, holding a kitchen knife, using Dunshan's head as a board to chop vegetables, and when he heard the sound behind him, he turned back with one person and one stone.

"Can you help?"

The wings of the armor nose moved slightly, resisting the urge to reach out to scoop the meat from the pot, and asked.

"Haha, no, it's my pleasure, I can't let you interfere. ”

Baili Shoujo smiled lightly.

Kai nodded, didn't say anything, reluctantly glanced at the big flesh and bones in the pot, and turned around to go out.

At this time, Baili Shouyue remembered something, and his tone was paused: "By the way, if you are idle, can you go and help me urge the captain, my dish here is almost ready, why hasn't she come yet." ”

"Good. ”

The armor agreed.

After leaving Shouyue's house, he arrived at Mulan's residence, and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of medicine and a faint smell of blood wafting from inside.

He paused for a moment, then knocked on the door, and there was an immediate noise inside, as if he was cleaning up bottles and cans.

After a while, Mulan opened the door, and seemed to be dressed in clothes, with a strong smell of medicine on her body.

When she saw that it was armor, she couldn't help but smile.

"Armor, what's wrong?"

"Keep the covenant and urge you. "The words are concise and to the point.

"Oh, I remember, I'm getting ready to go out, let's go over together. ”

"Good...... What were you just doing?" the armor tilted his head.

"I'm changing dressings. ”

“...... Where I was hurt? Let me see the damage. Armor frowned.

"It's just a slight injury, what's there to see, I'll have to eat in a while, and Shou said that he made a table of good dishes today. ”

Mulan slapped the armor's arm and said that she was about to step past him.

The armor suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "Let me see." ”

Hua Mulan stopped and sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll show you." ”

As she spoke, she rolled up the sleeves of her arms and lifted the bandage on the wound, revealing a hideous scar, which was still bleeding slightly and stained red with the medicine just after being medicated.

"You call this a minor injury?"

Armor frowned.

With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see that if an ordinary person suffers such an injury, he is afraid that he will be disabled, that is, Hua Mulan has a strong body, nourished by the power of martial arts, and can recover quickly.

"The doctor said that the injury was a bone and muscle, and it would take a month of rest to recover, and it was best not to do anything with people before that, otherwise the injury would worsen. ”

Seeing that she couldn't get over, Mulan no longer concealed it, and told the truth, not saying that she didn't want Kaitai to blame herself.

“...... I'm sorry. ”

Kai looked at Mulan's wounds, and guilt spread in his heart.

"We're teammates, so there's no need to apologize, after all, you didn't mean to, and thanks to you, I also mentioned a paid holiday. Hua Mulan quipped, retied the wound, put down her sleeves, lifted the topic, and said with a smile: "Let's go, don't let you keep the promise for a long time." ”

The armor took a deep breath, and didn't say anything about it, just pressed it in his heart, at this moment, he almost wanted to put off the meal and go home to exercise immediately, and seize every second to control the magic armor.

As if seeing the armor's thoughts, Mulan pushed him and said with a smile: "Don't pestle, it's time to keep the promise." ”

“...... Okay, let's go. ”

The armor nodded silently, and agreed to keep the invitation, but he couldn't break his promise.

The two of them were silent all the way, and returned to the house where they had kept the promise, and by this time the dishes had been served, and they were full of fragrance, waiting for the feast to begin.

Seeing this, Kai and Hua Mulan hurriedly sat down, and as soon as they heard Baili Shou say that the meal would be opened, they picked up the dishes and chopsticks and devoured them, for fear that the good meat and vegetables on the table would be eaten by others.

"Eat slowly, there's still in the pot. ”

Baili Shou kept persuading on the side, but there was a satisfied smile on his face, what he loved to see most was that others liked to eat his food.

He glanced at the armor and couldn't help but smile and asked, "How does it taste?"

“...... It's OK. ”

Kai replied lightly, and then quickly stripped the food in front of him and continued to add rice.

The corners of Baili Shouyu's mouth twitched slightly.

When eating, it is really an advantage to talk less, and in just a while, the two dishes are eaten clean.

It wasn't until they scrambled to eat seven or eight minutes that the speed of everyone picking up vegetables slowed down, and they began to chat while eating, and the topic quickly turned to work, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more serious.

"Recently, the demon seed nomadic area has been a little unquiet again, it is said that the demon seed tide has hit several villages again, Commander Li Xin has already sent people to investigate, and I don't know how large this time it is......"

"I don't know how to settle those refugees, alas, how good the previous official market was, but it's a pity that something like that happened, if General Su Lie was still there......"

"I heard that there are also some problems in Thousand Cave City, and it seems that it is against a group of forces called Hunters, I don't know what the situation is. ”

"By the way, the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce, the Son of the Sand Sea, and the Secret Jade Society have also made trouble recently, it seems that a batch of black crystal sand goods has been robbed by someone, and the recent movements of several Shazhou Brotherhoods are also a little strange, and they suddenly lost their traces, and they don't know what to do......"

Hua Mulan and several Great Wall officers talked about topics like that, all related to the situation in the desert in the clouds.

The Great Wall Guards are tasked with monitoring the movements of the entire Cloud Desert, and any forces here are concerned about the information.

The armor listened silently, just concentrating on eating with his head down.

These things were far away for him, he was an amnesiac and a Haidu man with limited knowledge of the region, which was thousands of miles away from home. Although he has been joining the Great Wall Guards for some time, he still lacks a sense of belonging to the desert in the clouds, so naturally he doesn't care as much about the situation in the clouds as a few people.

He couldn't interject at all about the topic in the clouds, and always felt that he was a stranger who didn't fit in.

It's just because he has nowhere to go, and Hua Mulan accepts him, that he is staying on the Great Wall now.

After eating a meal for two hours, the banquet was dismissed, and several officers said goodbye and left, and Kai wanted to go back and seize the time to meditate, but when he saw Mulan and Shou Yu dealing with the leftovers, they also stayed and helped wash the dishes and clean up together.

The three of them stood side by side in front of the sink and lowered their heads to wash the dishes, no one spoke, except for the sound of the water washing the dishes.

Hua Mulan turned her head to look at the armor, and suddenly said, "Armor, the result of your punishment has come down." ”

The armor paused, continued to brush the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "What is it?"

"The generals unanimously feel that with your state, you are not suitable to carry out the mission again, and you are not allowed to follow the team until you have full control of the magic armor. ”

“...... I understand. ”

Kai had expected it, but when he actually heard it, his heart still trembled.

"During this time, you can continue to exercise and control the magic armor first, and then act with us after you can stabilize the control. Hua Mulan noticed that the armor was washing the dishes with greater intensity, and her tone paused for a moment, and said, "I still believe in you, this is only a temporary treatment, I know that you will definitely be able to control the magic armor." ”

"I will. ”

The armor lowered his eyes, and his tone was low and resolute.

Mulan hesitated for a moment and said, "There is another thing, regarding your combat style, I hope you can change it." ”

"You say. ”

"Armor, you're used to fighting alone, so many times you're out of the team's system, and even though you're taking the lead and taking the lead, you occasionally interfere with the team's tactics. Just like in this battle, Shou Covenant had a few chances to inflict a heavy blow on Miza or even kill Miza, but it was interfered with by your intervention...... I can understand that you have good intentions to help him resist danger, but as the captain, I need to think from the perspective of the team, and the cooperation between us can be improved, and we will become more tacit in the future. ”

"I'll think about it. Armor thoughtfully.

"Okay, during the time you stay, let's think about it......"

Mulan withdrew her gaze.

In fact, she had long wanted to talk to Armor about teamwork, but she deliberately delayed it until this time, and after talking about the punishment of prohibiting Armor from acting with the team, she gave a proposal for Armor and team cooperation, which was a vague indication that Armor was still a member of the team, and they would not abandon their teammates because of the punishment, otherwise they would not consider Armor's run-in with the team in the future.

She felt that Armor would understand what she meant, and she also hoped that Armor would not have the misunderstanding that she was kicked out of the team.

Baili Shouyue continued to observe the expressions of the two with his spare eyes, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "Armor, we can't do without you, you have to join us as soon as possible." ”

The armor turned to look at the two of them and nodded slightly.

Aggressive......

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Baili Shouyu hurried to open the door, and the other two looked through the kitchen and saw a herald standing at the door.

"That's looking for me. ”

Seeing this, Mulan said a word, wiped her hands, and immediately walked over.

She spoke to the herald in a low voice, her brows furrowed and her face worried, before she turned to the two of them:

"I have something to do, go first, armor, don't forget what I just told you. ”

Throwing down a sentence, Mulan followed the herald and left, walking eagerly and hurriedly.

"It's so late, she's injured and can't recuperate, what is there to do?"

"It should be that the intelligence department has a new clue about Miza's whereabouts and asked her to deal with it. Baili Shou paused, and reluctantly explained: "These days, the captain has been staying up late every day to collect information, urging the intelligence department to track Miza's whereabouts, and only sleeping three or four hours a day, and I don't ......listen to her if I persuade her."

Armor fell silent, Mulan's injuries flashing through his mind.

He didn't understand Mulan's thoughts, and dragged the sick body to track Miza's whereabouts, the reason why he was so eager was because he was worried that Miza would commit another crime, causing more innocent civilians in the clouds to be killed.

In front of herself, Mulan didn't emphasize this matter too much, as the captain, she would never vent her inner emotions to her teammates, but in fact, in her heart, she must be extremely annoyed by the failure of this operation.

Armor sighed in his heart.

If I hadn't lost control, this hidden danger wouldn't have arisen......

If any more civilians are killed by Miza, it will be my responsibility......

“...... It was my fault. ”

Armor muttered to himself.

Baili Shoujo noticed the guilt hidden under the cold expression of the armor, and comforted him warmly:

"Armor, don't think about it, Miza was cut off by you, he will have to recover for a long time, maybe we can catch him before he commits another crime, so don't feel too guilty......"

Armor interrupted the words of the covenant and said calmly, "Don't comfort me. ”

"Okay......" Baili Shoujo smiled helplessly.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, he has a general understanding of Kai's character, and knows that this is a cold but calm and reliable person, and there is no word "vulnerable" in the dictionary, so he may really not need to be comforted by others.

The two didn't speak again, silently washed the dishes and chopsticks, and stacked them neatly in the cupboard, before the armor said goodbye to Shou Yu.

Walking out of the house, the clear moonlight sprinkled on his shoulders, and the wind carried the vastness and desolation unique to the desert in the clouds.

Armor glanced up at the knife-like crescent moon, and his eyes flashed with a glint of essence.

"Misa ......"

He is not a self-pitying person, and has always believed that he can make up for his mistakes and solve the problems he has caused.

An idea is born quickly in the heart and grows and grows.

Although I was disciplined and couldn't follow the team for the time being, maybe ...... I can go out on my own and solve the hidden dangers caused by my mistakes.

Just like when you're wandering......

Walking alone, leaning on the knife in his hand.

Thousands of problems are solved by the "edge".

"The only problem is how do I convince Mulan to let me go out alone......"

The armor pondered in his heart and gradually walked away.

As a member of the Great Wall Guards, subconsciously, there was no other option in his consideration.
