There was no moonlight. The wind carried black snow across the Scottish Highlands.
From time to time, dead vines and broken bricks were swept away. Nothing worth recording happened on the desolate surface, except for the thin and tiny shadow that moved almost close to the ground. Its speed was not fast.
It was hesitant in the headwind, but it nimbly avoided the gravel that might have hit it and rolled down a hill smoothly.
It landed on the flat ground in the lee of the wind and was stopped by several guards at the entrance of the cave with their weapons.
"Password!" The cold light emitted by the cold weapon in the dark was quite awe-inspiring, so the order sounded cold.
"For the freedom of tomorrow!" He pulled down the scarf wrapped around his entire face, and in the weak light,
The guards saw the short and thin child clearly. Under the wide hood, some dirty and messy red hair grew recklessly.
He was panting as he reported his name.
"It's me. Orlando. "
Seeing that the visitor was one of them,
The guards put away their simple homemade weapons.
"Orlando," they asked.
"You sneaked in again!"
Orlando pulled down his hood.
His bright brown eyes were unusually bright in the night. He lowered his voice, but his voice was still obviously excited. "I heard! Blue Box - Tadis! Did they catch a person riding in a blue police box? "
The guards looked at each other hesitantly and then said, "Orlando, don't worry about the soldiers."
"Go back to the fortress."
"But -" Orlando saw that the sentinels looked different from before.
He knew that it was true.
He - Dr. Harry was really back, three years later!
"Let me in, let me see him!"
The guards would not be rough with Orlando. One of them controlled the child to prevent him from breaking in, and the other pulled him back, intending to drag him to the living area behind the bunker. But Orlando punched and kicked, and even bit the guard.
As if hearing the movement outside, a tall man walked out of the cave. "What happened?"
The guards released Orlando and reported, "It's a child from the fortress who insisted on breaking in."
Orlando rubbed his arm and looked up at the tall man with black eyes and black hair. Seeing that he was dressed differently from the soldiers and that the guards looked at him with respect, he was slightly surprised. "You are John?!" He didn't expect that the leader of the resistance would also come.
"I am." John glanced at the boy. "What about you? Why do you have to break into the bunker? This is the place of the warriors. "
"I'm Orlando." Orlando straightened under his stare. "And I'm also going to be a warrior." Then his ears reddened slightly. "I mean … I've heard of you, Big John."
John, the leader of the first Ming Dynasty army. "
"That's not the reason why you had to break into the bunker, Orlando." There was a scar at the corner of John's mouth, which made his smile look a little scary. "Send him to the living area at the back and send him back to the fortress tomorrow morning."
The guards responded and were about to pull Orlando, but the child bent down to avoid their hands and rushed to John's side, shouting, "No, John, I have to see him. I know you caught Tadis …"
Big John, who had already turned around, heard the child shout out the word accurately. He immediately turned back and looked down into Orlando's eyes. He waved his hand to stop the guards and whispered, "What did you say?"
"Tadis." Orlando grabbed him. "And Dr. Harry."
John stared at him for a while, then picked Orlando up with one hand and stood up straight. He said to the guards, "It's time to change shifts, right? You go in and rest. Let the brothers on the next shift be vigilant. "
"Yes!" They answered in unison.
This was the first time Orlando had walked into the bunker, the place where the military would hold a meeting tomorrow. After passing through the dark entrance, there was a long and narrow aisle with only two torches at the end. Under the flickering light, only the ground could be vaguely seen. But after walking through this section of the road, a spacious cave appeared in front of Orlando. There were torches on the walls, so it was as bright as day. Forty or so rebel soldiers stood or sat on stone or wooden tables and chairs, but the first thing to attract Orlando's attention was the blue police booth standing in the corner of the conference hall.
John had been staring at Orlando's face and was the first to catch the light in the boy's eyes. He immediately asked, "Do you know it?"
Orlando nodded and then asked nervously, "Its owner, Dr. Harry … is there?"
John shook his head. "It fell from the sky above the bunker today. There are two people inside, but there is no one by that name."
Isn't it him? Orlando's gaze was always on Tadis.
Peter, another leader of the Ming Army, came forward to say something to Big John, but he didn't speak because of Orlando.
Orlando suddenly looked up and asked, "John, have you seen it? Tadis? "He sensitively noticed the abnormality in the leader's words and expressions.
"No, I haven't." John shook his head, and then his eyes darkened. "But I have seen God."
Peter came to report to Big John about the two extraterrestrial visitors. They were held in a temporary cell in the back. John had just arrived, so he hadn't seen them yet. But when the two heard the news of the leader's arrival, they asked to see Big John.
After listening to Peter's report, John glanced at Orlando and asked, "What are their names?"
"Snape and Deadpool, strange names." Peter hesitated for a moment, and then said with a strange expression, "That Snape, he also brought a bird. We saw him talking to the bird."
John showed the kind of smile that couldn't be said to be scary or majestic. He patted Peter on the shoulder and then pulled Orlando. "Let's go and meet the guests."
The second-in-command's eyes fell suspiciously on Orlando. After the leader and the red-haired boy went to the back, many people in the conference hall gathered around Peter to ask who the child was.
In fact, the Ming Army had no prison and never had prisoners of war. They only had soldiers and civilians, and civilians could be converted to soldiers at any time. Since the uprising, they had only two choices – to fight, or to fight to death. So Peter just temporarily cleaned up a lounge for the two guests to sit and sleep, and then sent several soldiers to guard it. Of course, this practice was not because of lack of reference experience, but based on the judgment of the two strangers who were not malicious.
When John walked into the lounge with Orlando, he saw the man with the same black eyes and black hair at a glance. He sat in front of the wooden table with his arms crossed expressionlessly, and there was a cold air around him. But John guessed that this cold air was not directed at him, but at the other man who was lying on the stone bed and chattering.
Hearing John's footsteps coming in, the black-eyed man looked up and glanced at him, which made the leader slightly surprised: this man has a pair of very powerful eyes. But the most important thing is that John can see something different in his eyes.
As the leader of the Ming Army, John needs to see a lot of people every day. Most of the soldiers of the Ming Army have angry eyes, and in the fortress that accommodates refugees, in addition to angry eyes, there is also sadness, despair, and compassion – all of which John is used to. But the man in front of him is different. There is something rare in his eyes: suspicion and inspection.
"So, you are the person in charge here?" The man's voice was low and clear.
"John." John nodded. "You are?"
"Snape."
The man lying behind Snape also replied, "Deadpool ~"
Only then did John notice that the man was lying on the stone bed with a very solid rope tied to his body. He was surprised for a moment as he was sure that the soldiers did not do such a thing to him.
Deadpool was also helpless and shouted, "Hey, Old Bat, can you help me break the spell? There are children watching ~ The Binding series is not suitable for children ~ "
Snape's face was dark as he pulled out his magic wand from his sleeve. He wanted to give Deadpool a Petrification Spell, but this person was brought by Harry. This person may still be useful … In the end, he lifted the "Binding Spell".
Deadpool immediately jumped out of bed and twisted his old waist while greeting John and Orlando, both of whom stared at the magic wand in Snape's hand in surprise.
John also saw another thing at the same time – the gray-blue bird held in Snape's left hand.
A very small bird, curled up in the man's palm, fell asleep, and Snape was poking it with his magic wand. "Potter, wake up."
Orlando suddenly felt that Snape was very fierce, and John hesitated and asked, "Is this a bird with a name?"
Snape pulled the corners of his mouth evilly. "This is a famous bird."
The seagull that had been woken up shook its feathers and woke up. Its glass-like eyes turned, and it saw John and Orlando. Its eyes stayed on Orlando for a while, before it flapped its wings and flew up. It landed in front of Orlando and turned into a young man about his height. It held Orlando's arm in surprise. "Wow, you've grown up!"
The teenager looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with black hair and blue eyes. After Orlando was surprised, he saw the lightning-shaped scar on the teenager's forehead. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. "You are … you are … Doctor?"
Snape's eyes fell on Harry. "Potter, when did you get your degree?" He knew that Harry was a fan of the show.
Harry touched his nose awkwardly and looked at John. "Hi!"
John's reaction was calmer than Orlando's, but he also suppressed his excitement. "You're back!"
"Uh, how long has it been?" There was some malfunction when Tadis landed, and Harry guessed that it was because he couldn't land at the same time twice …
"Three years," John said. "After you left, things changed a little."
Harry motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.
John's words confirmed Harry's guess. His last visit had some consequences, just as he had in 1993.
The escape from the Scottish concentration camp was unsuccessful, but the uprising didn't stop. After that escape, John became the leader of the concentration camp. He waited, plotted, and the news was passed among the different cells. Finally, one day, John used extreme provocation to infuriate a guard and was sentenced to death. But when John was dragged out, the other prisoners in the cell swarmed forward …
"We studied it for a long time. In a cell five units away from us, there was an old man. He was a mechanical engineer. He told us how to dismantle the steel prison guards and how to observe their movements … "
A human body against a Zhiyuan race's mecha. Harry's eyes dimmed.
"It didn't react at first." John smiled. "Probably because we've been quiet for too long. Angie was the first to die. He used his body to block the beetle's cannon. Then the others rushed down from behind and pushed him down … "After a pause, John continued," There were twenty-one people in our cell. "
They spent fifteen people to dismantle the prison guard's left arm. Then John carried the weapon and blasted the electronic locks of the cells along the way. His cellmates stood side by side at the junction, facing the prison guards who heard the news.
"Until that day, I didn't know how many people were imprisoned in this concentration camp."
Without any advantage, humans could only use their bodies as weapons. The people in front were blasted to dust, and the people behind took their place. Their only weapon was anger.
"Later, I kept thinking, why, why didn't anyone think of resisting after we were imprisoned for so many years? Why did they suddenly decide to revolt? There must be a moment, a reason, that inspired these people to stand up … "John stared at Harry." You've shown us a miracle. "
Harry shook his head. "How many escaped?"
The scar on John's lips trembled. "Twenty-one."
That was the original army of the Ming Dynasty.
"What a great price …" Harry sighed.
The tall leader suddenly stood up. His shadow covered Harry, and then he slid to the ground. He squatted in front of Harry and covered the corner of Harry's wizard robe with his hands. "We must fight for tomorrow. Tell me, are you a god? Can you show us more miracles? "
Orlando looked at the leader in surprise, then looked at Harry. He then got up to accompany the leader.
Harry quickly got up and pulled John, who was much taller than him, up. He whispered, "I'm not a god. I'm just a wizard. "
However, this word had obviously disappeared for too long and lost its meaning.
"I need your help, John."
"What?"
"I need a war."
