Seventy years ago, before the fall of Celestial Kingdom.
Lu Baiyan was a Ascender in his prime, the leader of the Utopia's logistics and support team, and the Great Si Ming who had great expectations and effort poured into him.
After the fall of Celestial Kingdom, everything became completely different from the past.
The glorious future disappeared without a trace.
All the bright wishes were shattered by the cruel reality and ended gloomily.
Some people died of depression, some fell into madness, and more survivors were scattered everywhere. Some chose to step into hell and began a journey of no return.
There was no contact since then.
Among the vast majority of survivors, some were found to be involved with Golden Dawn and were sentenced.
There was also another group of people who were imprisoned and put under surveillance.
"But did he really betray us seventy years ago? Didn't the dossier say that there was no specific information … "Huai Shi was confused." Could it be that he was locked up for seventy years just because he was suspicious? "
"What else?"
Russell asked back. "He indeed didn't have direct evidence, but I didn't kill him with my own hands. Wasn't he still alive and well after so many years?
I even asked someone to plead his innocence back then … Although I did lengthen his sentence a little, didn't he still have life?
He was still alive, drinking coffee and watching TV every day. Even if everything he swore to protect was gone, he could still say to others that I was innocent.
If you say it's okay, I believe you, and I forgive you. But how can you face those who sacrificed themselves?
As a former partner, I was already benevolent enough to tolerate him spending his life in a corner. But now you've seen that he chose to repay me in this way — "
"Imagine, Huai Shi —"
Russell sneered. "At this time, when Celestial genealogy is about to be reorganized, a traitor waved the flag in such a high-profile manner and defected to Golden Dawn in front of the whole world. What kind of consequences will it cause?"
It was simply black humor that couldn't be more mocking.
When everyone used the last of their strength and tried to fight one last time before they died, a dagger stabbed into their back.
It brought about the old pain of division.
The abscesses and scars that had once fallen in the past were once again exposed in broad daylight.
Thus, the old news that had been silent for many years once again made the headlines.
Under the teasing and mocking gazes, the silent collapse.
"I have a question."
Huai Shi looked at the map and calculated the scale. "From Iceland to Granling, and then to the closest exit of the three major blockades … It only takes four hours after a Level Four Ascender's Source Substance Transformation. In other words, he should be dead by now.... Why is he still leisurely walking in the present? Could it be that he can't get a taxi? "
"This is a performance, Huai Shi." Isaac said, "A performance prepared for us by the Golden Dawn."
He adjusted the image. "Do you see this frame? Pay attention, his hat … "
The video quickly rewound and finally stopped at the scene of Lu Baiyan burning.
A skeleton bathed in flames.
There was also the solemn jade crown on his head. The texture and shape made people feel so familiar and intimate. Huai Shi couldn't help but move closer and look at it carefully. "What is this?"
"'National Slayer'."
Isaac said, "The matter of the Kingdom of Heaven's lineage is like a spirit, engraved by a miracle inherited from the Road of Heaven's Inquisition. That was the National Death Crown that was snatched away by the Golden Dawn back then.
They gave it to Lu Baiyan … "
"Tsk tsk, this is just short of a provocation."
Huai Shi shook his head and sighed. He moved his neck and fingers. "I roughly understand. So, what do you want me to do? Catch this thing back? "
"No need to go through so much trouble." Isaac suggested. "You can do it more thoroughly."
"How thoroughly?"
"As thoroughly as you want."
Russell said, "You have to kill him with your own hands, Huai Shi."
For the first time, as a teacher, he gave such a straightforward order to his student. He was calm and cold. "It can't be anyone else. You have to do it … You have to fulfill your duty as the Great Si Ming."
He said, "Regardless of the consequences, regardless of the cost."
The new blood of Celestial genealogy would kill the traitor of Celestial genealogy.
The new Great Si Ming would kill the old Great Si Ming.
He would use the back wave to push the front wave to death on the beach.
He would use the most straightforward method to prove to the world, to hell, and to the Golden Dawn that this was the determination from the Ivory Tower.
"Okay."
Huai Shi nodded. "I know."
"Maybe there's something else. Huai Shi, I know you don't like this kind of work."
Russell seemed to smile. He asked even though he knew the answer, "Will you be soft-hearted?"
"Is there anyone in this world who thinks that the Sword of Disaster is a good person?"
Huai Shi shook his head. "Come on, Russell, I'm not stupid enough to think that there's anything good about being with the Golden Dawn. So don't worry, I'll do it, and I'll do it decisively."
It was a scene that he could still dream of after such a long time.
Looking back, everything seemed like it was yesterday.
The bombing of Danbo.
The cluster bombs that fell from the sky, the merciless executioners, hell on earth, blood and fire, and the sky that was burned red.
More than that, there were the innocent people who died.
There was also the person who stood in hell and laughed loudly.
From that moment onwards, no, even before that, when he had witnessed the tragic scene on the Astral, they were enemies, and there was no room for negotiation.
"Russell, if he wants to go to hell, then he will die in front of the gates of hell."
Huai Shi said, "I promise."
"Very good, Huai Shi."
Russell smiled with satisfaction. "Then go ahead and do it. I'll get the school guards to cooperate with you. The two White Doves are on standby."
"No need. Raymond in front will stay to pilot the helicopter."
Huai Shi said, "I'll choose the rest of the people myself …"
"Okay, everything is up to you. I'll wait for your good news."
Just like that, he hung up the phone, full of confidence.
It was as if he had already seen the result.
The meeting ended.
And Huai Shi, after a moment of contemplation, took out his mobile phone and dialed Danbo's number.
Amidst the roar of the helicopter, he heard a voice from the other end.
"Little Nineteen?" he asked, "Are you free?"
On the other end, the young man was stunned for a moment. He seemed to feel the seriousness in the voice and subconsciously straightened his back. "Anytime."
"Very good. Pack your things and get ready. Yuan Yuan will come to you later. In fifteen minutes, the Rainbow Bridge of the Astronomy Society will be open to you."
He said, "It's time to get to work."
"Okay." The cabin in the woods did not talk nonsense.
The phone hung up.
Yingzhou, Danbo.
On the sofa in the living room, the young man who was peeling an apple with his head down did not stop. He carefully and carefully peeled off the last bit of apple skin, then divided the apple into several pieces, cut them, and put them into the fruit bowl next to him.
He picked up the towel on the coffee table and wiped the saliva of the old man who was watching TV. "Take your time, old man. I'm going to work overtime."
The girl in the kitchen poked her head out and asked doubtfully, "Lin-jun, aren't you going to eat dinner?"
"I have work, Yao Xiang."
The cabin in the woods shrugged. "I may have to go out. If it's fast, I'll be back in a few days."
"Hmm? Do you want me to prepare something for you to eat on the way? "
The cabin in the woods shook his head and smiled. "I ate a lot at noon. It's okay. The teacher will not leave me without food."
"Then I'll put your portion in the fridge." Yao Xiang warned seriously. "You must eat it when you come back, because I'll put double the chili!"
The cabin in the woods staggered and nodded helplessly.
In the end, he did not escape …
After a brief goodbye, he picked up the coat on the hanger. When he turned around to leave, he heard a voice behind him.
"I forgot to bring the thing."
The decrepit old man on the recliner said, "I didn't bring it all."
"Hmm?"
The cabin in the woods looked back in confusion.
"Aren't you going out?" The old man who was watching a funny variety show slowly chewed an apple. "When a man goes out, he should at least bring a sword."
Along with his words, the silent ancient long knife on the knife rack made a ferocious sound.
The cabin in the woods was stunned and could not help but be surprised. "For me?"
"Okay." The old man raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly, "As long as you dare to take it."
"… Spare me."
Feeling the fierce aura brewing in the scabbard, the cabin in the woods stretched out his hand several times as if he was catching a snake. Finally, he carefully grasped the handle and picked it up.
"Just lend it to me. Thank you, old man."
He waved goodbye, turned around and pushed the door open. When he walked out of the training hall, he saw the car parked outside and Yuan Yuan leaning against the car.
The Shanjun in the scabbard growled angrily and competed with the trembling long knife in the cabin in the woods.
The cabin in the woods glanced at her and his eyes stopped on her wrist.
Under the cuff, there was a black track extending.
It was like a tattoo with solemn lines …
"Qiuniu?" The cabin in the woods widened his eyes and sighed. "Wow, he gave it to you? Your family is so generous. "
Yuan Yuan glanced at him as if she was looking at a guy who was making a fuss out of nothing.
"He gave it to me, Yazi, but I don't want it. I kept it for Ah-Zhao." She said, "Why, your family didn't give it to you?"
The corner of the cabin in the woods twitched.
It hit the sore spot!
The knife that he had just rented from the old man, the Sword Saint, was not so nice in an instant.
It was not that it was not powerful, but it felt the difference between wild and domesticated.
He could not help but burst into tears.
It was a fool's dream to expect the elders of the Lin family to keep something good for the younger generation. If there was really something good, not to mention giving it to him, even if he got it, there would be elders who would help him keep it together with the New Year's money.
The child was still young, he would think about it when he grew up.
Even though the cabin in the woods claimed to be a freeloader, other than the usual gift bag when he left home, he only got a dragon-head stick …
Comparisons were odious.
But he could not let himself be overwhelmed by his junior sister's arrogance.
Lin Shijiu blinked his eyes and found a new way to annoy him. He suddenly smiled. "Have you heard? The teacher recruited a new student … It is said that she is from the Russian Federation, Katyusha.
I secretly asked someone to look through her photo. She is really slim and beautiful. Hey, do you want to take a look? "
Yuan Yuan turned around and looked at him.
But she did not look at his phone, but at his neck calmly.
So, the cabin in the woods obediently put away his phone and pretended that nothing had happened.
"…"
In the long silence, the little hut in the forest rubbed his chin out of boredom. He was eager to try again, "Why don't I give you a show of strength? Let the newcomer know the seniority … "
"You can do whatever you want, but the result will not be good."
Yuan Yuan calmly corrected him. "Also, I am the eldest."
"Bullsh * t!"
The cabin in the woods was furious. "I entered first."
"Oh, do you want to fight?" Yuan Yuan suggested. "Let's use the old method of our two families. The winner gets to talk."
The cabin in the woods rolled his eyes. "You don't want to work anymore?"
"It won't take more than a few minutes to beat you." Yuan Yuan said honestly. "If you don't run around, it might be faster … So, you better not mess around. If anything happens later, remember to stand behind me."
"That was then and this is now!" The cabin in the woods raised the rented weapon and laughed. "I have the sword of the Sword Saint here. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of me?"
In his hand, the long saber that was overflowing with hostility instantly withdrew its sharpness and turned into an ordinary antique.
He did not give face at all.
The corner of the cabin in the woods twitched. He was about to hold the sword and say a few words to establish a bond between them, but then he saw a rainbow light falling from the sky.
Then, there was a blur in front of his eyes and a blizzard hit him in the face.
He opened his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of snow.
He coughed violently.
She shuddered in the frosty wind blowing against her face.
He only saw a world of ice and snow.
"Where is this?"
