at night.
After all, Qin Tie had no chance to go back, so he was forced to stay as a tool and lived in temporary housing on the edge of the city.
"Hey! Hey, you have to be careful on top. If you don't repair it, you will be guilty..." Li Yunfei's voice was noisy outside. After being diffused by the speakers, the already annoying voice became even louder. One step ahead.
"Ahhhh! I'm so annoyed!" Qin Cong covered his ears and buried his head on the desk.
"Yeah, yeah, it's so annoying." Someone said next to him.
Qin Cui was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Li Yunfei's big face next to him. When he looked over, the other party immediately smiled.
"I'll wipe it!" Qin Cui slapped the other person's face, and then kicked him.
"Hey -" Li Yunfei's center of gravity was unsteady and he almost fell to the ground.
"Why are you here?!"
"Hey? Can't do it?" Li Yunfei finally managed to stabilize his body and fell to the ground without losing his composure.
"No, no, no, I mean, shouldn't you be directing the maintenance over there?" Qin Cui pointed outside. That annoying loudspeaker is still disturbing the people with Li Yunfei's voice.
Li Yunfei scratched his head and said, "Isn't it almost finished? I'll go out for a walk."
"Then outside..." Qin Chou looked at him doubtfully, and Li Yunfei's voice was still yelling outside.
"That's a recording... I don't like to stay there all the time, so I recorded a lot of sounds and asked people to play them for me according to the situation. It's been many years." Li Yunfei looked proud.
"Is this something to be proud of! You are a 'leader' after all!" Qin Cuo flipped the table.
"Calm down your anger." Li Yunfei pressed the table with a playful smile.
Qin Tie was silent for a while and then asked: "Tell me, what are you looking for me for?"
He was very surprised. It was clear that the two of them had met for the first time not long ago, but this guy seemed familiar to him, and he always felt like he wanted to beat him.
"Hey, why do I have to come to you when something happens? It can't be the first time I meet you..."
Qin Tie showed an expression of extreme disgust.
"Well, it's not that I have anything to do with you... I'm just a messenger." Li Yunfei changed the subject. What he did was indeed a bit too inconsiderate, just like someone who kept saying "666" during a chat.
He sat across from Qin Cui, then took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Take a look."
Qin Cui looked at the letter lying quietly on the table, frowned, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
letter. Paper sealed letter. This ancient thing should have been submerged in the dust of the Great Collapse. Nowadays, most of the people who can use these are "those people".
"It's...them?" Qin Xi murmured to himself. Before Li Yunfei could answer, he picked up the letter, took out the paper inside, smoothed it out, and started reading. During this process, he kept a straight face and showed no emotion or anger.
After a while he raised his head, his eyes filled with anger.
"Those hypocritical guys." Qin Ji tore the letter casually.
"Hey!" Li Yunfei grabbed the letter and put it on the table, then spread it out and aligned it. After a few glances, he balled it up and put it in his trouser pocket. Qin Tie did not stop him.
"Go and tell them that I have nothing to talk about with them," Qin Chou said.
"This is too direct, after all..."
"That's the truth."
"Okay, okay," Li Yunfei waved his hand and said, "They must have never thought of convincing you anyway."
Qin Tie said nothing.
Li Yunfei continued: "Actually, you already have a plan, don't you? Although you told insiders that you have no plan, but... I know what kind of person you are."
"Ha," Qin Cong sneered: "It seems that the chief of the Central China city-state is just your puppet."
"You have wronged me," Li Yunfei said, "That man is really my father...his biological father. But he is not one of ours. There is only one of us, only me." He laughed at himself, Said: "I can't even figure out what I was doing in the first place. Now I'm like a clown, hiding."
"Do you regret it?" Qin Cidao asked, and then asked again as if he had given an answer: "Do you regret it?"
"Of course not, nor will I." Li Yunfei said: "Just like you, you have no regrets, just some hatred, some anger, and some... despair."
"Did they tell you everything?"
"That's not true, but I still know a lot about you. As I said before, I know what kind of person you are." Li Yunfei lowered his head and stared at Qin Xi's light reflected on the table.
"As for your plan," Li Yunfei continued: "It's probably the 'L Plan'."
Qin Tie fell into silence again, which was the default behavior.
"Are you really planning to do that?" Li Yunfei raised his head.
Qin Ji lowered his eyes and lowered his voice: "I have to do this."
"I have no choice."
"It's called 'mission.'"
"I thought you were the same as me - you were thinking, 'What a bullshit mission! I won't be bound by that kind of thing!'" Li Yunfei said.
"I thought that, but eventually I changed my mind."
Li Yunfei looked into his eyes and said, "Is it really because of... her?"
Qin Tie's expression suddenly changed. His eyes widened and an expression of suppressed anger appeared on his face. He stood up and put his hands on the table.
"You don't deserve to mention her!" Qin Xi growled: "It was you hypocritical villains who imposed these bullshit missions on her! It was you who took away everything she should have! It was you who... killed her Got her!"
"It's them, not me." Li Yunfei remained calm.
Qin Cong suddenly fell back and stared at Li Yunfei's face in confusion.
"Don't you remember how she died?" Li Yunfei said softly: "You should have known better - but you still chose to forget."
"I..." Qin Xi didn't know what to say. There were some truths that he clearly wanted to know, but he had to choose to refuse to reveal them.
Behind some things is an unbearable truth. Qin Ji knows this very well, so he has been waiting for the time to lift the curtain that covers every story.
"You may have forgotten that I met you before, a long time ago." Li Yunfei said, "She had just grown up at that time."
And then shortly after that, they decided that she would be the one to fulfill their mission.
"And I saw you even longer ago. You should have forgotten that I was the one who sent you to them." Li Yunfei gently patted Qin Xi on the shoulder and said, "That year, I just turned seventeen. As of today, fourteen years have passed."
Qin Cong was in a trance for a while, and then some hazy memories came overwhelmingly.
That year, in the wind and snow, he fell to the ground, and the sound of heavy footsteps gradually approached...
Then he saw a figure running towards him...
And then……
He walked in the snow with a person whose appearance he couldn't see clearly, rested in the ruins together, and spread out in the dense forest together...
Finally, he came to a dense forest and met a girl...
From then on, there was no longer a shadowy and shining metallic "Death" chasing after him...
"So it's you..." Qin Xi covered his head and put his head on the table.
"It's me." Li Yunfei only said this.
"Why...why..." Qin Qi growled in pain: "Why didn't you come to help us and save her at that time..."
"I'm sorry..." Li Yunfei said softly: "This is exactly what I am here to atone for. Promise me to give up that plan. If you continue, you will not end well."
"Give up... give up? No, I won't give up." Qin Cuo clenched his trembling fists.
"You will offend the gods!"
Qin Cuo raised his head: "That's fine. I'll let Him know."
"Humanity can survive this damn 'apocalypse' on its own."
