Qin Zhilu looked at him, "My custom-made gloves are much more expensive than a piece of clothing."
"It doesn't matter." An Yu said immediately, "I will sell more bread."
As he spoke, he threw the fourth broken lens on the ground and drew the knife from his waist.
The blade was sharp, reflecting the candlelight in the darkness.
Qin Zhilu grabbed him and pressed his bare palms against An Yu's skin.
He paused and said, "It's up to me. I told you, before your wings become full, you should cherish your own feathers."
An Yu stood beside him, not looking at him, "But you and Ling Qiu also said that I am more like a little wolf."
Qin Zhilu raised his eyebrows slightly, "So?"
An Yu held the knife and stared at the boy in the broken mirror in the distance, "The wolf is not a bird, and there is no need to cherish its feathers. The wolf's claws have to be stained with blood to make people know how sharp they are."
"In the future, please give me all these opportunities to press buttons."
He also took the candle from Qin Zhilu's hand, stepped forward with the knife, and stood in front of the broken lenses on the ground.
There was a strong fishy smell in the wind, and the blood of white thorns flowed on the ground, bypassing every broken mirror, and sketched a strange and sad picture on the snow.
Those eyes stared at the sky above - although it was dark, the mirror covering the orphanage finally disappeared, and the world seemed to suddenly become very clean, just like those years that had faded in memory.
"Chen Nian and Aji are both dead." He murmured: "The ones I wanted to keep most, in the end, none of them were left."
A tear slipped from the corner of his eye and rolled into a pool of blood on the ground.
An Yu sensed strong human emotions from this hyper-deformed boy.
This seems to be contrary to people's cognition, but it is natural.
He raised the blade above Bai Jing's sight and stated calmly: "You did not protect Chen Nian and A Ji. But Chen Nian guarded Sisi as he wished. This was his choice. And A Ji..." His tone Pause, "Aji has always known that he has a brother in the orphanage."
The pair of eyes that were about to be distracted suddenly focused for a moment. Bai Jing looked at him with trembling eyes. After a long time, he smiled sadly and said, "The other children in the orphanage will blame me."
An Yu thought for a while.
He thought of Ling Qiu - in fact, Ling Qiu had noticed something wrong with his drowsiness early on, but had helped him hide it for so many years. Fortunately, nothing happened to Area 53 because of this cover. If something happens...
"They will blame you, they hate you so much." He said softly, paused for a moment but then said firmly: "But Aji will not."
In this world, no matter how inhumane a person is, they will not blame someone who tries their best to protect them.
An Yu looked into those absent-minded eyes, "Your human will seems to have not been completely lost, but the mistake here was made by you, so I'm sorry, but I still have to execute you on behalf of humanity."
"Yes. My disappearance may help the orphanage dispel the last darkness. This is all I can do to repay it." Bai Jing turned back and continued to look at the dark sky and murmured: "The frozen time seems to be in Recover quickly, I wonder who has such ability... If you can meet that person, say thank you for me."
The Blade of Order cut the young man's throat. In order to ensure his death, An Yu simply cut open his chest and stabbed his heart.
When doing all this, his movements were clean and neat, and his expression showed no mercy. He whispered to the lives lost on the ground: "Sorry, I can't use a gun, this is the only way."
Qin Zhilu said behind him: "You are indeed a natural killer."
An Yu pulled up a corner of his clothes, wiped the blood off the blade, and said softly: "I just listened to you. You taught me not to dwell on other people's past -"
"Compassion should be reserved for those who are worthy of saving." Qin Zhilu continued the second half of the sentence, and a smile finally appeared in his silent and dark eyes. He stretched out his hand towards An Yu and inserted the knife back into his waist. , said quietly: "It seems that you have not only learned bread, but also understood compassion."
After Bai Jing died, the darkness that shrouded the orphanage faded away, and the world returned to daylight. The wind and snow that had been blowing for ten years finally stopped. In the blink of an eye, it seemed like nothing had happened.
Qin Zhilu sat on the ground, slowly chewing the compressed biscuits that An Yu gave him. According to An Yu, he originally left two energy bars as "protective food" for his superiors, but he didn't think clearly about it just now and decided ahead of time. It was given to Fengjian and Jiang Xiao, so there was only a piece of compressed biscuit from the cafeteria left.
Even for this biscuit, he only gave half to Qin Zhilu, while he was holding the other half in his hand and chewing it.
Qin Zhilu refused to comment, and while fiddling with the dandelions surrounding him in the air, he dialed the Black Tower channel using An Yu's terminal.
The order of time and space was restored, communications were reestablished, and the other end of the channel was filled with the chaotic and busy footsteps of the Black Tower.
"There are two aberrations that need to be monitored closely, Sisi and Jianxing. The relevant information has been uploaded to my node record.
"Well, there are still a lot of freaks in the orphanage that need to be cleaned up. My team members have been seriously damaged in the battle. Please send reinforcements.
"It's normal not to be able to see my data, I accidentally crushed my terminal.
"I'm fine. The survival value is now about 6%, and the mental strength is 33%. They are all recovering slowly."
The other end of the phone suddenly turned into a noisy voice, and Billy screamed like a startled bird: "Is this okay?! I haven't seen you look like this in years! Where is An Yu?" ? An Yu can’t be dead already!"
Qin Zhilu said indifferently: "He is very good. Can't you see his data?"
"I just can't believe it when I see it... Who knows how crazy you two will become. I always feel that it's not you who is teaching him, but he who is leading you..." Billy breathed a sigh of relief and muttered for a long time. Then he said: "Um, the Black Tower is going to arrange some healing assistants to pick you up and help you recover on the plane. Can you just fly to the equality zone?"
Qin Zhilu's tone dropped, "What happened to the Ping Ping District?"
"To be precise, it's not the equality zone, but the vicinity of the equality zone." Billy whispered: "The mission of the Plant Seed Museum, something happened to Zhu Tao."
An Yu, who was listening to the commander's call on the headset, suddenly froze, "What happened to Putao?"
Billy hurriedly said: "He's not dead, not mentally retarded, don't be anxious. He just suddenly... Oops, suddenly he acted a little arrogant. He couldn't break the momentum and got into a fight with Heita. Even Tang Feng didn't listen. , you go and have a look.”
Qin Zhilu had no reaction at first when he heard that something happened to Zhu Tao, but now he frowned.
He held the terminal for a long time before saying "hmm", "Then arrange two planes to take Jiang Xiao and the others back first."
"Understood. The reinforcements have already set off and will arrive soon." Billy said seriously: "Thank you for your hard work."
As the time and space in the orphanage are automatically repaired, the broken glass everywhere is disappearing one by one. The four lenses are still scattered on the ground. After the main body of the mirror is broken, both sides of the black and white mirrors are destroyed. They seem to have become useless. of ordinary glass.
When time and space were repaired to a certain extent, the first broken lens also disappeared.
Everyone was exhausted and sat on the ground waiting for reinforcements. After watching it disappear, they all looked at the second piece in unison.
But the time and space controlled by the second piece seemed to be repaired slower than the previous piece. After waiting for a long time, the broken lens still didn't disappear.
An Yu stared at it boredly for a while, then inadvertently glanced at Jiang Xiao, who was sleeping beside him, and suddenly slipped away.
He regretted giving the last energy bar to Jiang Xiao, not because the commander was unhappy when he heard that he had lost the protective food, but because he was really hungry at the moment, so hungry that he couldn't even wait a few more minutes for reinforcements. Can't stand it.
While he was lost in thought, a gust of cold wind swept through the sky without any warning, and in his peripheral vision, the second broken lens also disappeared.
Slade snapped his fingers and said, "Finally."
Fengjian Tianyu yawned and muttered sleepily: "Good guy, he didn't disappear for a long time, and it was so sudden."
An Yu asked casually: "What's sudden?"
"The first mirror disappeared slowly." Kazama was saying, and the third broken lens also disappeared with his words. He pointed there and said: "Look, these two pieces are slow." It slowly becomes transparent until it disappears. But the second piece just disappeared all of a sudden, as if an invisible hand snatched it away with a whoosh. Is it because the corresponding protected person on the second layer is not dead? "
Pat gave a rare smile, "You are observing so carefully. I only care about when our reinforcements and supplies will arrive. I am about to starve to death."
He said, turning to Slade, "By the way, I remember you brought half a backpack full of energy bars."
Upon hearing this, Slade looked at An Yu silently.
An Yu immediately turned away expressionlessly and looked at the officer beside him.
There was still a small piece of the compressed biscuit in Qin Zhilu's hand, but he held the biscuit without moving for a long time, as if staring at a point in the air.
"What's wrong with you?" An Yu asked.
Qin Zhilu stayed still for a while before eating the last bite of biscuits. "The gust of wind just now... seemed to have a very familiar smell passing by."
He paused and shook his head again, "I haven't had a mental crisis in many years. I may have had some hallucinations."
As he spoke, the sky above his head was suddenly covered by a large shadow, and dozens of Winged Lawmen were hovering over the orphanage.
Since there were too many aberrations, the Spire still sent out combat leaders this time, allowing the wing group to focus on attacking the aberrations.
Bo roared down from the sky, greeted Qin Zhilu and An Yu in turn, and checked Sisi and Jianxing's information with Qin Zhilu.
Qin Zhilu asked lightly, "Xide is back?"
"I'm back, sir. The mission went well, but I was a little depressed, so I didn't come in person." Boli reported smoothly, "Are you okay? An Hening is on standby on the plane, and they will accompany you to find the grapes. "
Qin Zhilu did not answer the question of whether he was good or not, but just nodded casually, "Closely monitor Sisi's distortion. If there is a problem with her mental strength, just deal with it normally according to regulations."
Bo nodded and said, "Of course."
Fengjian and others had already boarded the plane back to the minaret, and An Yu followed Qin Zhilu to the other plane. When Qin Zhilu and Bo passed by, An Yu heard him ask in a low voice: "When you came here, did you see any strange people in the sky?"
"Huh?" Bo was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about the abnormal ones? No, the sky near the orphanage is very clean, and my terminal did not alarm."
Qin Zhilu nodded and got on the plane.
An Yu was about to follow when he was stopped by Bo again. Bo opened his hand towards him, "Here you go, the commander told me to bring it. He thought you would be in a terrible situation like last time, but he didn't expect that it would be Lu who was seriously injured."
There were two pieces of energy liquid spread out in Bo's palm, something that Xi De mocked as "only children like to carry".
"Thank you." An Yu only took one and left one for him, "Be careful."
Bo was stunned for a moment, put his hands together and put the energy liquid back into his pocket, with a faint smile on his lips, "You too."
*
The plane took off, and the orphanage riddled with holes on the ground quickly became smaller in the field of vision, and was soon replaced by clouds.
In the cabin, countless white and blue Morpho butterflies were fluttering their wings lightly. An and Ning were treating Qin Zhilu respectively. Qin Zhilu was wearing a windbreaker and leaning against the wall with his eyes closed to rest.
An Yu opened the terminal. Inquiries from Shangfeng and messages from the Minaret Forum were about to explode his device, but he ignored it at all and quickly checked the business reports of the past few days in the bakery group. and investment income, and then you can be satisfied and open the Spire Forum icon.
The recorders of teammates have automatically transmitted the mission video back to the spire, and the relevant archive has been released.
Since An Yu had unabashedly used his space folding and time acceleration abilities in several important battles, the screen would automatically turn into a mosaic as soon as he reached the relevant part. The hours-long film was filled with mosaics, which was too horrible to watch.
The lawful people watching were collectively drunk.
-Come here quickly. I heard that this mission almost killed Lu?
-Theoretically yes, but... uh...
-Gradually confused, what on earth am I looking at...
-If you don’t know, you really think we are looking at something...
-Is this... is this a sexy mission? ?
- Abnormality appeared, mosaic, abnormality died. Slade in danger, Mosaic, Slade out of danger.
-I only have six things to say about this video:...
-The source of the mosaic seems to be the awakening of new powers in the corner, you know.
-I guess so, the only thing that can cover it up is another god-level operation in the corner.
-I heard that the people working in the corner are crazy. Are the higher-ups afraid that we will learn from them?
