There is a way to travel when the mountains are high, and there is a boat to cross the deep water.
The new year is better than the old one, and everything can be expected.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, gorgeous fireworks bloomed one after another.
It’s Chinese New Year...
Jiang Che looked at the night sky, his dark eyes flickering with the fireworks of different colors.
In the old year, many things happened.
From Brother Yong to Conspiracy.
From Ye Qingyao to the Flame Demon God.
From Zhuge Ye to Zhuge’s house.
From ordinary people to challengers.
From Huangquan Hospital to Plague Town.
…
From escaping to facing.
From fear to determination.
From shirk to responsibility!
A boy is no longer a boy.
A boy is still a boy!
…
"Captain, Brother Yong, have you seen it?"
"The city is prosperous and the fireworks are beautiful." Jiang Che murmured, with a smile on his lips.
…
New Year's Eve, 3033 Secret Team New Year's Eve dinner.
Facing a table full of delicacies, Nangong Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, with tears in her eyes, and her little hands holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, but she hesitated to pick up the food.
Jing Xiaolan on the side laughed and asked: "What's wrong, Xiaoxiao? Why don't you eat?"
Nangong Xiaoxiao raised her chin stubbornly, "Brother Yong... let me eat less."
Jing Xiaolan: "emmmmm... You eat the New Year's Eve dinner first. Next time, eat less next time."
"Really? Is this really possible?"
"It might work?"
When he turned around, Xiaoxiao had already finished a pig's knuckle in a few strokes, and his cheeks were bulging.
"Hey, hey, hey, eat, Xiaolan, you eat too."
Jing Xiaolan: "Uh...oh oh, um."
Xiao Yuan, who rarely had dinner with everyone, turned his head and secretly looked at Qin Li, who had been playing with his mobile phone.
Qin Li noticed it and immediately turned off his phone and stared at Xiao Yuan, "Why don't you stay outside and peek?"
Xiao Yuan: "Brother Yong asked me to hang out with you more. Who are you chatting with? It looks like she's a girl in the profile picture?"
Qin Li: "Brother Yong asked me to pick up girls, I'm just performing a task, don't meddle in other people's business!"
Su Jingshuo stretched out his arm and waved it in front of Zhuge Ye's eyes, asking, "Did you see it?"
Zhuge Ye: "What?"
Su Jingshuo: "My hair! My hair has grown back!"
Zhuge Ye: "Wow! It's true! Your hair looks like Cheng Guanxi!"
Su Jingshuo looked arrogant: "No, some people even say that my profile looks like Peng Yuyan!"
Zhuge Ye: "Why don't you say you are the Invincible Greymon?"
"What kind of joke is this?"
"It's okay. I want to say that the popsicles you bought last time didn't melt even after I left them on the table for a day."
"Really or not? It must be too cold, right? What I bought was the Ice Cream Assassin, more than a hundred sticks!"
"Haha, you are the only one who can buy ice cream in the winter, my brother."
"..."
"Is the injury on your waist healed?" Jiang Che looked at Su Xiaojin beside him and asked.
Su Xiaojin nodded: "Yes."
"Really? Let me see." After saying that, Jiang Che stretched out his hand to grab Su Xiaojin's waist, but was slapped away by the other party's palm.
Jiang Che: "What are you doing? They say that the waist is a girl's second face. I'm worried about what's wrong with you?"
Su Xiaojin: "No need."
"Okay, let me have a hot face and a cold butt."
"You are so beautiful."
"???"
Zhuge Ye squinted his eyes and whispered: "This is the first time I have seen someone who can speak so grandly about lsp..."
Jiang Che glared back: "Shut your stupid mouth!"
Zhuge Ye: "Humph~"
At this time.
"uh-huh!"
"As the temporary captain, let me just say a few words." Hong Ling coughed a few times and straightened her back, showing off her appearance.
Everyone put down their chopsticks and waited for the captain to speak.
"Please persist in your love and rush to the next mountain and sea!"
"May 3033 get better and better, and may we get better and better!"
"Okay! What the captain said is good!"
Su Jingshuo took the lead in applauding, and others followed closely.
Hong Ling raised her glass: "Come on! Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses: "Cheers!"
The nine cups collided together, making a crisp sound.
But at this time, Jiang Che glanced at the corner.
Two people were standing there.
Smiling face: "Baby, when will you come to my cave?"
Jiang Wan: "Xiao Che, sister can't live without you..."
Jiang Che withdrew his gaze and drank all the wine in the glass.
"..."
"It will definitely get better and better..."
…
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Che went home to accompany his sister.
Time flies by and it’s the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
A letter from the top of the conspiracy arrived at Tianqing City Branch.
At the same time, after receiving the order, Hong Ling immediately summoned Jiang Che and the others and issued the order.
"According to instructions from high-level officials."
"Order 3033 Secret Team, Jiang Che, Zhuge Ye, and Su Xiaojin."
"Before the 20th of the first lunar month, we will arrive at No. 03 Guimen Pass and Tianma Pass to report!"
"At that time, there will be a medal awarding ceremony, an entry ceremony, and the awarding of a conspiracy number!"
Hong Ling handed a black letter to Jiang Che and said to the three of them: "I didn't expect that the gossip I got before was true. The higher-ups really wanted to transfer you to Guimen Pass, but I never expected...
…It’s actually Tianmaguan No. 03.”
Jiang Che: "No. 03...what happened?"
Hong Lingdai frowned and continued: "Although Guimen Pass is named and numbered according to the order in which it was established, Tianqian Pass, which has existed for a long time, has a terrible reputation... I don't know why the superiors transferred the three of you.
When I went to Tianma Pass in Level A, I originally thought it would be Rashomon."
"Oh, right." Hong Ling suddenly remembered something and said solemnly.
"This order is not mandatory. If you don't want to go, I can just apply."
"You can stay in Tianqing City."
"In addition, there is another thing you need to be aware of. Even if you go to Tianma Pass, you may not be able to become a gatekeeper."
"You have just obtained the qualification now. If you want to become a gatekeeper, you still need to take a test."
Jiang Che: "What test?"
Hong Ling said with a serious face: "You should all remember Sushen City, right? Humanity has already established a certain foundation in the mysterious world, but if we want to solve the harm and threats that the mysterious world brings to the real world, we still need to continue to do so.
explore."
"The various tests you solved in the past basically revolved around mysterious challenges."
"And the gatekeeper has to perform a certain task in a mysterious world..."
"Escape from the challenge and truly enter the mysterious world."
"Can you... understand?"
Jiang Che nodded: "Understood."
Su Xiaojin: "Understood."
Zhuge Ye: "As long as they two understand it, it doesn't matter whether I understand it or not."
Hong Ling's towering chest rose and fell slightly.
She looked at Jiang Che and asked: "So, what is your choice?..."
Su Xiaojin and Zhuge Ye looked at Jiang Che at the same time.
At this moment, Jiang Che's mind echoed the three words spoken by the Flame Demon God before.
"Ten years ago, Yan Yibing was the gatekeeper of this tricky gate."
"Ten years ago, your parents were the gatekeepers of this tricky gate."
"Ten years ago, Xiaoman was beheaded at this tricky gate."
"..."
At the same time, the smiling face of the strange fairy standing in the shadow also made a sound: "In my cave, there is a panacea for bringing the dead back to life..."
Jiang Che took a deep breath.
"Didn't Brother Yong say he was waiting for me in the mysterious world?"
"I……"
"We will be the gatekeepers!"
…
Time passes easily, the sun and the moon jump like bullets.
On this day, the three of them embarked on a new journey.
Head to Tianma Pass!
Just like Hong Ling said.
Stick to your love and rush to the next mountain and sea!
…
ps: I’ll add more updates for the million words, thank you for accompanying me all the way.
