At the age of six, Andrew attended his mother's funeral.
Before that, he saw his mother being pushed down the stairs and lying in a pool of blood.
That day, my mother wore one of those cream-colored cotton skirts that nobility was not so fond of, like the stamens of a red rose in full bloom.
As the thorny rose slowly bloomed more and more, her skirt also turned red, and it seemed that her whole body was melted into this blood red.
"Andrew." She seemed to want to call him, but in the end she just opened her eyes and didn't shout anything.
So what was she thinking? At the moment of death.
Andrew has always been curious about this question. Later, the question expanded to what he would think about when he was about to die.
What are you thinking about? His mind seemed to be blank, only Tang Ling's cold eyes could be seen, and even the pain from the fist hitting his body was numb.
Yes, why is Tang Ling so powerful? Where would he be on that list of so-called 'horror lullabies'
"This punch is for you, Wei An." In the rain, Tang Ling's fist brought up a strong wind, blew away a patch of rain, and hit Andrew directly on the chest.
'Poof', Andrew spit out a mouthful of blood. There seemed to be internal organ fragments or something in it. It didn't matter.
He had tried his best and did not desecrate his last battle because he was bound to die, but if he could not win, he could not win. Some things could not be changed by will.
Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Andrew managed to stand up with support, staring at Tang Ling and smiling.
Should he thank Tang Ling? He gave himself a relatively honorable death instead of being forced to commit suicide, or being quietly executed in a dark cell.
"This punch is for you, Amir." Tang Ling rushed towards Andrew and hit Andrew's jaw directly. The sound of bone cracking was so harsh.
When the name Amir came out of his mouth, Tang Ling's heart stung.
In the end, do we still want to seek justice for him
'Huh', Andrew felt a little difficult to breathe. Was his jaw cracked or something? If it were Henk, he was so concerned about his image that he would rather die than have his jaw cracked, right? Can he dodge this punch
Yes.
"Ha." That year, he must have been four years old, Andrew shouted and punched Henk. He was serious. He wanted to conquer Henk and be the big brother.
But Henk, this guy who would pout and cry at any time, who was always timid and liked to follow a group of noble children, avoided them while crying.
He seemed to have been bullied, but in fact Andrew was even more aggrieved. He didn't even hit him with a single punch.
Being tired and not fighting anymore, Andrew turned around and left.
Henk followed Andrew with his unwiped nose.
"Why are you following me?" Andrew actually had nowhere to go. He and his mother were not eligible to attend family gatherings. Often, at such times, his mother would be very sad. He didn't want to go home and see his mother's sad eyes.
"You won't really hit me." Henk said timidly. As the son of a minor noble, especially the son of a newly promoted minor noble, he only gained this title because of his father's sacrifice.
In fact, Henk is separated from this circle by a huge distance, and it is normal for him to be bullied.
"Huh?" Andrew was stunned. He obviously couldn't hit him, okay
But at that moment, Henk's serious and helpless eyes seemed to touch him. Andrew reached out involuntarily, touched his head, and said: "Okay, then follow me. I will treat you like a younger brother." take care of."
How old is this one
Andrew was a little confused, but he felt Tang Ling grab his collar and Peng punched him directly in the abdomen.
"This punch is for you for the Raptors." Tang Ling's heart was filled with sadness.
Hope Cliff was right in front of them. On the previous day, that hot afternoon, they had stood side by side on the edge of Hope Cliff.
That image is like the imprint of life, imprinted in the soul.
It was only today that Tang Ling felt what it meant to be young back then. The irony was that how high-spirited he was back then, he was so broken now.
Likewise, Andrew could hardly see clearly what was in front of him.
Give yourself a punch for the Raptors team? Well, okay, very good. I once had a team, the best team, the top team.
"Andrew, I passed the assessment, and my overall score was first." On the top of Hope Cliff, Henk's blond hair exuded a fine light, as dazzling as the badge on his chest.
"Isn't that what it should be?" With a calm smile, Andrew entered the First Preparatory Battalion and later became a Purple Moon Warrior. From this time on, his dream could finally take off.
If he becomes a powerful Purple Moon warrior and has Henk or more powerful teammates by his side, he can finally get rid of the damn Anse family, right
"That's right, I will always be by your side." Henk smiled, always with red lips, white teeth and charming green eyes.
"Well, stay by my side and accompany me to the top in the First Reserve Battalion." Andrew also smiled and couldn't help but hugged Henk.
How high-spirited was that time
Then what? Then there was Dil Godin, there was Emma, and finally, there was Summit Team.
Is all this over
It was over. Andrew could feel that life was passing quickly and he could no longer stop it.
I wonder why Amir was able to hold on for so long? This kind of hot breath of life feels so helpless and powerless when it is far away.
In addition, there is a sweet sense of peace, as if the best pictures in all life have become clear, making people want to embrace death impatiently.
So, how hard is it to hold on
Andrew raised his eyelids with difficulty. In the blur, he could see Tang Ling's face, with black hair and black eyes, delicate and clean. It seemed that there was always a hint of shyness and a hint of melancholy, but more importantly, there was an impressive sense of power. , and a sense of reassuring trust.
It's really hard to believe that such a feeling can appear on such a face.
But his eyes were red, did he want to cry too
"I gave you this punch for myself. You destroyed the dream that I had wanted to keep for at least ten years in my heart." Tang Ling mentioned the powerless Andrew, and gave him a last knee strike, slamming into him hard. Andrew
Well, there is no way to support it.
At this moment, the last breath of life was like a pair of wind-cast hands, which gently took away the warm vitality.
Andrew's eyes began to become distracted, and Tang Ling's eyes began to blur.
"Andrew, what do you think we will be like in ten years?" Henk suddenly asked while lying on the lawn of the forest in the sunshine.
"Ten years? Of course we will become Purple Moon Warriors." Andrew answered matter-of-factly.
"I don't mean that, I mean, do you think you will have a wife and children?" In this era, even nobles must shoulder the important task of increasing the human population. Marry late? Not getting married? That is not in line with the requirements of a noble.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe there will be. What about you?" Andrew was not very interested in this kind of thing.
"Me? No." Henk raised his head, with a serious look on his face, and then said slightly shyly: "I think the meaning of my life is to be by your side, to watch you reach the top and achieve what you want. I will treat your wife as your sister, and if you have children, I will be their other father."
As he spoke, Henk turned to look at Andrew and smiled. Behind him was the afternoon sun, which was rarely so hot.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Andrew made a gurgling sound in his throat. Only he knew what he wanted to say at this moment.
But there was no need to say it, he seemed to see his mother coming to pick him up at this moment.
"Come here, little Andrew, look, why is your face so dirty? Is it bleeding? Did you fight with someone again?"
"Mom." A smile appeared on Andrew's lips.
"What a naughty little guy. Let's go home. Mom made stew today."
"Okay, okay, let's go home." Andrew breathed out his last breath. In front of him was his mother's warm embrace, and behind him should be Henk's departing back.
No need to look back and let him forget about me.
"Ah" In the rain, Tang Ling grabbed Andrew's lifeless body, looked at the sky and roared.
In your ears, should you stop echoing that unforgettable song
"I will never forget the promise I made with you at the end of summer."
“There are still dreams and biggest wishes for the future.”
Tang Ling stretched out his hand with blurry eyes, and broke Andrew's neck with a 'snap' sound. No matter how many reasons there were, no matter what he confessed in the end, he could never get back what some people had lost, like Wei An. .
Therefore, his body cannot be respected, and his head must be used to pay tribute to Wei An.
"I believe we can meet again at the end of summer ten years later"
“I will still have the best memories with me at that time.”
With a 'pop' sound, Andrew's head was placed next to Wei An. Wei An was very peaceful, as if she could open her eyes in the next second and sing with her sweet voice.
"I met you in an inadvertent moment."
The rain was gradually falling silently. Christina squatted on the ground, hugging Andy, crying until her eyes were numb.
Andy looked at Tang Ling helplessly. He wanted to say, Tang Ling, is there a way to bring them back to life
Auston sat blankly, next to Amir's already cold body. No matter what, Auston still couldn't bear to touch his eyes for him.
Yu stood there blankly. He seemed to have lost the ability to speak again. Will he stutter again in the future
The whole place was silent.
This challenge has reached this moment, and this is the result? A rogue-like boy from the First Reserve Battalion played a sad funeral song for his comrade in front of everyone.
"Oh, the fireworks blooming brilliantly in the night sky is inexplicably sentimental."
"Ah, the wind goes by with the passage of time"
Can't we go back to the past? It is indeed a bit sad.
"Do you want to continue the challenge?" A Ziyue warrior who had been waiting impatiently looked at Tang Ling, whose eyes were red.
Tang Ling glanced at Andrew's head and shook his head slightly.
"Then I officially announce the arrest of Tang Ling. He is suspected of stealing an important material from the No. 17 security zone - advanced cell repair agent." As he spoke, the Ziyue warrior quickly walked onto the ring.
At this moment, Yu, who had been silent, suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Tang Ling, followed by Auston, Christina, and Andy.
"Which one of you dares? If you want to arrest Tang Ling today, go over my body first. I am Yu from the Yufeng family." It's shameful to use the family's reputation, but what's the point of using the family's reputation at this time? relation.
Tang Ling had already gone to this point for his dead partner, so what reason was there for not to stand side by side with him at this time
"I am Auston from the Godin family. I won't get out of the way." Auston stood behind Tang Ling.
"I am Christina from the Brad family. You can't even try to capture our partner." Christina blocked Tang Ling's left side.
"I'm Andy, I'm not a noble. I just have this life to protect my companions." Andy blocked Tang Ling's right side.
They surrounded Tang Ling tightly.
A group of people rushed towards this side silently and anxiously. Amidst the mocking smiles of Amber and Cocklain, one of them, who appeared to be very powerful, rushed through the crowd and rushed to the ring in a blink of an eye.
He grabbed Yu's shoulders and said loudly: "Yu, starting from today, you will withdraw from the First Reserve Battalion. This is a family decision."
"Auston, I hope the barrier is not a place for you to be willful, so you are not suitable to stay here! Come back with me, this is the family's order." Another person also rushed to the ring at this time, and the left side of his neck Got the Godin family sun tattoo.
"Tina, my grandfather asked me to take you back. He thinks that you, a girl, are not suitable to grow up in a military camp." At the same time, another man walked to the ring and hugged Christina.
Andy was a little confused and helpless. When he saw his mother running towards this side anxiously: "Andy, come down quickly, come down quickly! Mom thinks you should go back and work with us, and stop being a soldier." "
"No, uncle!" Yu wanted to struggle, but was firmly controlled by the man he called uncle.
"Brother, you are insulting me, insulting me, do you know?" Auston directly contradicted him, but was punched to the ground by the man he called eldest brother.
"Please, please, cousin, you can't" Christina was in disbelief, pleading with tears, but the man she called cousin just shook his head silently.
"Mom, Mom, go back, go back." Andy squatted on the ground, crying.
"I beg you, son." Andy's mother knelt before the ring. She was so frightened that she had no strength to run to the ring.
They had been notified here urgently, and this scene had actually silently announced who was the real owner of Security Zone 17.
Maybe everyone in the Raptors team has feelings for Tang Ling, but their family members don't. They still have to live and survive, and they can't risk everything to protect Tang Ling and go against the Angs family.
Cocklain whispered in Albert's ear: "Look, there are some things that you don't have to do yourself at all. This is the benefit of power! You have to know how to use it, understand? Use it!"
"Yes, Patriarch." Albert seemed to have forgotten the humiliation just now, and an elegant smile appeared on his face again. Yes, so what if everyone knew that it was him, Albert? Does anyone dare say anything? Does anyone dare to stop anything
Tang Ling never expressed anything. The song that seemed to be unable to go away was still echoing in his mind.
He gently put his hand on Yu's shoulder and said to Wei'an's body in front of him: "Say goodbye and let's go."
"Tang Ling" Yu turned his head and everyone looked at Tang Ling in disbelief.
Tang Ling took a deep breath, looked at the Ziyue warrior who was about to arrest him, and said, "Do you mind if I say my final farewell to my partner?"
"Then, I'll go with you." Tang Ling's eyes showed no concern at all. The arrest was expected.
How could he leave so easily before all his deep-seated hatred had been vented
"Tang Ling!" Auston shouted.
"Listen to me." Tang Ling pulled up Andy who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Let's say goodbye to Wei An now."
Everyone on the Raptors team was speechless. They could see that Tang Ling's persistence could not be shaken.
Perhaps it was because of this unshakable will that the Raptors family members let go of their hands, and Andy's mother also stood up crying.
In the rain, five people stood side by side. It was a bit uncomfortable to be missing two people, but it didn't matter. In the rain, Christina gently hummed the song.
"I believe we can meet again at the end of summer ten years later"
"Hold back the tears and say goodbye with a smile."
"It's a little sad, but I still have the best memories."
According to the custom of Safe Zone No. 17, the dead were already suffering enough when they were alive, and happiness is far away in this era.
Therefore, when leaving, there should be a gentle song to accompany the farewell. Even if you can't, please hum a gentle tune. But at this time, what else is more suitable than this song
For Wei An, although my heart was filled with regret, but also for Amir.
The song slowly ended, and the five people bowed at the same time: "Goodbye, Wei An."
"Goodbye, Amir."
Tang Ling stood up straight, looked at the Raptors, and said, "Bury them properly. I will come see them again in ten years."
"You" the four of them said in unison and looked at Tang Ling.
"Don't forget." Tang Ling didn't look back. He only said these four words and walked straight to the Ziyue warrior. He stretched out his hands and handed the shackles that he had prepared at some point to the Ziyue warrior. In the soldier's hands, he slapped the handcuffs on Tang Ling without mercy.
Tang Ling slowly walked down the ring, but when he passed the speaker, he suddenly picked it up and looked at Albert.
"Are you really not going to regret arresting me? Amber?"
"No, you won't regret it, because you are a fool from the beginning to the end! You even lost the game against Andrew. What qualifications do you have to play against me?"
"If I were a member of the Anse family, I would think that Andrew is more suitable to inherit the Anse family, instead of you, a fool, asking the family to wipe your ass! But unfortunately, Andrew is also dead, I killed him myself. "
Tang Ling spoke very quickly, but it might as well be that everyone heard these words clearly. A few silly words in a row made some people want to laugh inexplicably.
Albert tried hard to endure it, and finally couldn't help shouting loudly: "Why don't you take this thief down with me?"
Tang Ling sneered and followed the Ziyue warrior. As if intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Hope Cliff.
On the hilltop some distance away from the ruined battlefield, Su Yao stretched, turned off the communication device, and said to the man next to him: "Let's go, the show is over, let's get ready to work, tonight."
Hold hands with returning old book fans.
