The shops beside the Heping Bridge gradually closed down, and the street lights lit up on both sides of the cold road. On the huge street, only one shop still emitted warm lights.
At the messy dining table, Hongying stood with one foot on the chair, holding a can of beer in one hand, and with the other hand raising her eyebrows, vividly describing Lin Qiye's dark history to everyone.
"...At that time, he had just joined the Night Watch and had no place to live, so he temporarily stayed at my house... hiccup...he knocked on my door that night. To be honest, I had a pretty good impression of him during the day.
, I didn’t expect... hiccup... he turned out to be this kind of person..."
Hongying seemed to be drunk, and she said something vaguely. No one heard her clearly, they just widened their eyes and kept looking at Lin Qiye and Hongying.
Commander Lin...is he this kind of person?
"...What do you mean by this kind of person? Could you please finish your sentence?" Lin Qiye felt the strange looks from everyone and said helplessly, "And Wen Qimo... Even if they look at me this way, you look at me this way too.
What means?"
"I don't live in Hongying's house. How do I know what happened to you that night?" Wen Qimo replied matter-of-factly, "Besides, during the day, you didn't even know the color of Hongying's underwear..."
Before Wen Qimo finished speaking, a palm quickly covered his mouth. Lin Qiye held a beer in his other hand and stuffed it into his arms.
"Stop it! I am also the commander-in-chief now, and I want to save face..."
“￥#!%*@……”
At the beginning, because Lin Qiye was here, the younger generation of Team 136 were still a little restrained, but then they found that Commander Lin did not seem so dignified and rigid, and they slowly relaxed and even took the initiative to drink and chat with him.
Listen carefully to that little-known past.
The meal lasted until four o'clock in the morning. The street was already deserted. Under the dark night, everyone present except Lin Qiye was basically drunk and unconscious.
This was the first time they had been so drunk since they joined Team 136. Even if they drank on weekdays, they could only drink a little. After all, no one could guarantee that there would not be a "mysterious" invasion while they were drunk.
But this time is different... there is a Commander-in-Chief of the Night Watch sitting in Cangnan, why should they worry about this?
Next to her, Hongying was lying on the table like mud, snoring slightly. She licked her lips and muttered from time to time, not knowing what she was saying in her dream.
"Ahem..." Wen Qimo wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and stared at the drunk Hongying. A flash of memory appeared in his red face, "The last time I was drunk like this was that year.
New Year's Eve... in a blink of an eye, almost ten years have passed."
"……Um."
"Time flies so fast... I still remember that year, Hongying cried in the cemetery and said she would wait for you to come back... In the blink of an eye, the team became seven people again." Wen Qimo raised his head with hazy eyes.
Looking at the New Year's Eve photo on the wall, he murmured,
"Ten years...you are back...but no matter how much you wait...they will never come back..."
Lin Qiye also looked at the photo and remained silent.
"I've known for a long time that you...all of you have secrets and pursuits, whether it's Captain Chen Muye, Vice Captain Wu, Xiaonan, or you...but Hongying and I, we are just ordinary people.
A common night watchman cannot do anything important in this life... For us, guarding this Cangnan is the whole life."
b/
"……Thanks."
"What are you thanking? This is our job."
"Thank you and Sister Hongying..." Lin Qiye glanced around, with a hint of complexity in his eyes, "Over the years, too many people and things have changed... But fortunately, you have not changed. Here
It hasn’t changed.”
Wen Qimo looked into Lin Qiye's eyes. After a long time, he walked to him with empty steps and patted his shoulder:
"When I have free time, I often go home and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down on the sofa and snored peacefully one after another.
Lin Qiye sat alone at the messy table and smiled gently. He raised the beer can in his hand, made a toast gesture to the photo on the wall, and drank it down in one gulp.
The dim light of dawn lit up from the other side of the bridge. Lin Qiye cleaned up the messy table, took one last look at the sleeping people, and walked slowly to the door of the office. In the reflection of the glass, a calm face appeared
And the resolute face overlaps with the city.
He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
…
"Cough cough cough cough..."
In the commander-in-chief's office, a charred figure pushed open the door and entered.
In front of the office window, Seraph Lin Qiye raised his head and stared at the fish-belly-white sky, slowly withdrew his gaze and looked back.
"Are you ok?"
"...What do you think?" the disgraced fateful monk said quietly, "I have to carry two Star Destroyer Cannons in the front, even if I can deflect the damage...after all, it's not the memorial I promised, so why should I help you carry it?
These two times?"
"Because even I can't bear it five times, so of course you have to share some of it."
"Really? Why do I think you just want to torture me on purpose?"
Lin Qiye smiled and said nothing.
The fateful monk patted the dust on his body, walked to the window and looked at the blue sky, "Departure?"
"Yes." Lin Qiye nodded slightly, "We have reached the edge of Saturn."
"The universe is so big, do you know which direction to go?"
Lin Qiye raised his palm, and a faint golden light circulated in his palm, like a miniature compass.
"I don't know...but miracles will guide me."
…
Deep space of the universe.
In the dead darkness, Lin Qiye sat cross-legged on the blade of the Tiancongyun Sword, slowly flying towards the edge of the solar system. Little halos of light radiated from the sword, like a small boat floating under the stars.
The huge Saturn star ring flew past Lin Qiye, and from time to time a few meteorites floated out from it, but he easily dodged them.
Lin Qiye's body is a Hongmeng spiritual fetus. Unlike a mortal fetus of flesh and blood, it does not need oxygen to breathe, nor does it need to eat or rest. It can move freely even in the universe, and can even slowly absorb spiritual energy from the boundless void to replenish itself.
Continuously driving Tiancong Yunjian to travel through the universe.
But even so, Lin Qiye's speed did not exceed the speed of light. In fact, he progressed extremely slowly in the vast universe. At this speed, even if he wanted to fly out of the solar system, it would take several months... By the time he reached the depths of the universe,
