Feng Qi was walking by the lake, thinking about something on his mind.
There are both plans for the future and thoughts on the structure of human civilization.
At this time, the breeze was blowing in my ears, and I heard the sound of harmonica coming from the distance.
Looking up, she saw Mu Qing sitting on her knees under the willow tree by the lake from a distance, playing quietly. And the harmonica in her hand turned into the silver-white harmonica he gave her as a gift.
Without saying hello, he walked to the grass beside Mu Qing, quietly sat down, and listened to her continue playing the music.
Compared with before, the tune is less sad and more warm.
The sound of the piano is like a complaint, containing all kinds of thoughts. Under every note, there is a calm and flexible soul buried, and his emotions also fluctuate with the tune and are included in it.
After a while, Mu Qing put down the harmonica that was leaning against her lips, picked up a strand of hair that was blocking her sight, hung it by her ear, looked at Feng Qi and said:
"Why did you give me a harmonica and treat me so well?"
"Because I can understand the feeling of seeing things and missing people. This harmonica is not only a gift to a friend, but also a hope that you can come out of the shadows."
"Are you an orphan too?" Mu Qing looked a little surprised.
"They were once warriors of the Domain Chapter. They disappeared together during a domain exploration. The team comrades only found their tattered clothes and the weapons they carried. When I learned the news, I cried for several days.
Slow down."
"Now my impression of them is somewhat vague, but I still feel a little sad every time I think of them."
"What about you, how many days have you been crying?" Feng Qi suddenly looked at Mu Qing and asked.
Mu Qing:......
Seeing Feng Qi's curious eyes, Mu Qing hugged her knees and whispered:
"When they really left, I didn't cry anymore. It's just that every time I see the green basket on the window sill blowing in the wind, it is getting haggard because no one has taken care of it. No one drives away the mosquitoes when they chirp at night, and no one puts me to sleep.
Only then will you feel the pain and loneliness.”
"But now that I'm used to it, my impression of them is blurry." There was no emotion on Mu Qing's face as she spoke.
"Stop pretending. You couldn't hold it back that day when your harmonica broke. You cried so miserably. You have to pretend to be strong every day. Are you tired?"
Mu Qing:......
Looking at Feng Qi with a smile on his face, Mu Qing felt like she had been seen through and suddenly lowered her head.
"Have you ever thought about what you want to do after graduating from Star City University?"
Hearing his question, Mu Qing raised her head again, nodded and said:
"I want to join the domain battle group after graduating from school, be on the front line against domain invasion, and then die heroically one day and end this life."
When he heard these words, Feng Qi couldn't help being stunned.
If these words were Mu Qing's true thoughts, he could not understand why Mu Qing finally established the "Dawn Rebels" and chose to become the enemy of mankind.
He even led the rebels to massacre several human cities.
Thinking of this, he asked:
"Why would you want to be on the front line against realm creatures?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing did not answer directly, but asked softly:
"You should know that I am a scavenger, right?"
"Yeah." Feng Qi nodded.
"You are from the city, so you don't understand the hatred that we scavengers have for the creatures in the realm. That is a memory engraved in our bones. We have been taught it since childhood and have never been erased."
After hearing these words, Feng Qi suddenly remembered something Wang Jinjin once said in class.
He said that when it comes to fighting against domain creatures, the most heroic team is the team of scavengers outside the city.
In class at that time, a student stood up and objected, feeling that the courage of city people to fight against monsters in the realm was no weaker than that of scavengers.
As a result, what Wang Jinjin said next left the student speechless.
He asked the students present:
"If you were imprisoned by those who transcended the realm and were forced to ask you for details about the situation in Star City, who could persist in not revealing the secrets during torture?"
"I think 50%, no, even 80% cannot withstand the cruel torture of those who transcend the domain, because you are missing the most critical link in your heart, the strong hatred for these invaders!
"
"Putting it into context, your originally happy life was suddenly broken one day. Your city was invaded by monsters. Your mother was beheaded by monsters. Your father had his limbs twisted off and was eaten by monsters. Your pregnant baby
The monster cut open the belly of your wife, took out your soon-to-be-born daughter, and ate her in front of you..."
"Now back to the original question, after everything you have gone through, you are imprisoned by a creature beyond the realm, with sharp claws on your head. You feel severe pain all over your body, but will you be unable to withstand it? Are you afraid of death?
Will you beg for mercy? You want to eat his flesh and blood at this moment, and that kind of hatred is like a flame exploding in your chest."
"The situation I just mentioned has been experienced by many waste pickers. They were originally residents of the city, but one day their city was suddenly covered by territory."
"Here's an example. You all know Ye Huang among the scavengers. You only know that he is one of the strong men in historical records, but have you ever understood what he went through?"
"All seven members of the family died from the torture of the monsters in the realm. His sister, who was closest to him, had her left hand, then her right hand, and then her legs... In the end, he was the only one who walked out of the realm alive and continued to fight.
During the long journey of domain invasion, our Ye family gave birth to more than a hundred martyrs. This kind of hatred has been passed down to this day. Can you understand that feeling?"
Feng Qi clearly remembered that the whole class fell silent at that moment.
As Mu Qing said, the scavengers hate the creatures in the realm far more deeply than the people in the city.
If you haven't experienced it, you won't understand the hatred that is engraved in your bones.
City people's stereotypes of scavengers are cruel, greedy, and selfish, but they don't know that they have determination flowing in their blood and their spiritual inheritance of stubbornly resisting the creatures in the field to the end.
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why Mu Qing's relatives were willing to join the rune transformation project.
This is not only for Mu Qing's future, but also to contribute to the fight against domain invasion.
Although Mu Qing was still young at that time, she understood this hatred and made her own choice to continue the unfinished experiments of her relatives, even if it meant death.
Thinking of this, he became even more confused as to why Mu Qing would betray humans.
What happened in that period of secret history that made Mu Qing choose to stand on the opposite side of all mankind.
"Feng Qi, what about you, what are your plans after graduation?"
At this time, Mu Qing interrupted Feng Qi's thinking.
Facing the inquiry, Feng Qi grinned:
"I haven't thought about it. How about I build a domain war group, and then bring you, a great expert, as the deputy leader. We will form a team to fight monsters, and then one day we will die heroically and become remembered by future generations.
big hero."
Mu Qing:......
"What, you don't want to form a group with me?" Feng Qi asked curiously.
"Actually, I have also thought about forming a battle group to fight against domain creatures. Maybe you will be my deputy leader." Mu Qing smiled.
"It was a really rough life back then."
It's not certain how many years the sentence will be, but it's most likely the death penalty, Feng Qi complained in his heart.
"What?" Mu Qing frowned slightly, her expression cute.
"It's okay. The leader remembers to give me more salary when the time comes so that I can support my family."
"We are fighting for the future of mankind. Talking about money is tacky."
"Hahaha, that makes sense."
The night breeze was blowing, and during the conversation, the two of them unknowingly drew closer to each other's friendship.
