“Why we are special is unknown for now, so let’s regard the unknown as our destination.”
"Thanks to the rules for allowing the soul to appear, we will eventually be bound."
"Maybe one day the answer will finally be clear, and we're on the way."
The dull sound of the whistle penetrated the waves and the dust floating in the sky. Before it ended, it started up again and again, three times in a row. When the whistle was about to end, the ship made a large circle on the sea and sailed towards the shore again.
Ronan stood at the stern of the ship, holding on to the railing of the ship's side, and looked quietly at the sea behind. Among the waves where the propellers turned, the ashes belonging to the two ability users were scattered in the wind, and fell down, some undulating with the waves.
Some of them were swallowed by the fish and shrimps behind them.
The powerful mental induction also stretches the duration of the memory and fills in too many details that make people feel depressed.
Ronan took a deep breath. The pure black dress was tightly wrapped around his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"You know? People with abilities cannot be buried. Even if they are cremated, their ashes must be thrown into the sea. Because none of us know whether at the next moment, they will be dug out by some madman and sent to the laboratory.
"
Zhang Yingying stood on the edge, leaning on the railing with her elbows. She also followed Ronan's example and looked behind at the sea that was crushed by the propellers. Her body position was lower, and the topic she touched on was also very heavy, but her voice was always bright.
Qingyang:
"Live well, young man."
"..." Ronan didn't look back or respond, because he didn't know what expression or sentence to use at this time.
Today's ceremony is to see off the two ability users who died in the Municipal Square incident a few days ago. One is Charlie, who was parasitized by Luo Yuan in Shangding Building and died; the other was the one who originally drove Ronan to King Ke
Driver in the communications building.
In a strict sense, the deaths of these two people were inseparable from Ronan. Although no one mentioned this to him, he felt enlightened when he put on his formal clothes and stepped onto the ship.
Enlightenment is one thing, but mood is another. When Zhang Yingying came to talk about this topic, he was resistant in his heart. Fortunately, the topic quickly changed and Zhang Yingying talked about more practical things:
"The outsourcing business has been completed. The payment has been made to Sanzha Security. There are some financial and tax issues involved, and the firm is still calculating. But don't worry, we will never lose you, and the amount is quite considerable."
"Oh." Ronan responded casually. Similar topics could not arouse his attention.
Zhang Yingying could probably guess his mood. She curled her lips and said no more. She continued to lie on the railing and watch the sea with him.
Time passed like this bit by bit. During this period, people came and went, and some eyes came from a distance. Ronan knew it, but he didn't want to worry about it or pay attention to it.
The ship docked and the guests attending the funeral stepped down the gangway one by one and shook hands with the relatives of the two victims. Ronan moved forward step by step in the flow of people, but he gradually hesitated and soon fell behind by several places.
.
Zhang Yingying next to her said "tsk", took his arm directly, and led him forward. Before Ronan could recover, he was taken to the edge of the gangway.
The family members had no other reaction at all, they shook hands with them numbly, and took the children next to them, who were only a few years younger than Ronan, to bow and thank them.
Charlie has two children, and driver Tian Lai also has one. Compared to adults, the dazed and stunned state of these children really made Ronan unbearable. At this moment, his blood was about to coagulate, until he stepped off the ship.
Neither of them came back to their senses.
Next to her, Zhang Yingying acted like a good buddy, put her arm around his shoulders familiarly, and carried him along the pier. At the same time, she whispered in his ear: "Don't always play those hard-hearted people, let alone try to get into trouble. Everyone is here for work.
, it’s just that the business scope and nature of ability users are more special... You don’t think I’m trying to comfort you, do you?”
"I just feel that there are too many things related to human life."
"Are you sour? But it's true, people are social creatures. When a person dies, it digs a hole in the social network. The closer they are, the more awkward they are. But if you can't get along, don't do it.
Pushed up hard."
"Not next to each other?"
"It's really not a fight! Just like Charlie, the other party is obviously interested in President Ouyang...well, Lao Tian is still a little bit on the same side."
Zhang Yingying was also pragmatic and thought for a while and said: "If you really feel sorry for yourself, just put some money into the 'Friendship Fund' and make a targeted donation or something. It is much better than being here to grieve for the spring and autumn."
"Friendship Fund?"
Ronan searched for relevant content on the Lingbo Internet and found that it was a public welfare fund initiated by the Federation. Its main direction was to provide funding to association members or their families who encountered special circumstances to ensure their stable lives.
While checking the information, Ronan felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw Maoyan standing in front of him talking to Qin Yikun, waiting for him to come over.
Zhang Yingying also saw it, but she still maintained her good buddy attitude and walked over with Ronan carelessly.
Today, Maoyan was unusually dressed formally, with light makeup, looking dignified and serious, but her hanging left arm was quite eye-catching. When the "Plane Crossbow" exerted its power, she was affected, and her left upper arm was almost blown off, although
After proper treatment, it will take some time for the broken bones and flesh to grow.
On the ship, Ronan and Maoyan had already greeted each other. They had something to discuss and made an appointment to go together.
"Mr. Luo." Qin Yikun, also in dark formal attire, signaled that the car was at the edge of the pier.
Qin Yikun is currently still in charge of Ronan's security work, but as the situation escalates, the composition of the security team has changed. He is no longer the captain, but exists as Ronan's personal bodyguard. Gaode has also made similar changes
.
Today is Saturday, November 26th, exactly seven days after the last incident in the Municipal Square. Ronan will not have classes today, but he has something to do at school. This is a planned trip, so his car and everything are ready.
Zhang Yingying said with a smile: "You don't mind if I take a ride. Take me to the cliff section of the Huanhai Highway. It will be very quick, only two steps away."
Maoyan turned his gaze away, paying a little attention to the way the two of them were holding each other's backs, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Yingying's face: "Going to the bottom of the sea for retreat again? You are getting more and more desperate."
"Sister Cat Eyes!"
Zhang Yingying loosened her arm around Ronan's neck, stepped forward and hugged Maoyan gently, and said with a smile: "I cherish my life. I can see from your appearance that the current situation is that if you don't practice for three days, you will go straight to the Palace of Hell...
…”
"I think it's like 'if so-and-so is by your side, you'll be on the verge of death'. To cherish life, shouldn't you stay away from someone?"
The two of them were friends who played the game "Wild" together, and they had a good friendship. They had many contacts on weekdays, and they talked very casually. The person lying next to him with a gun couldn't help but feel even more worried, and he immediately got into the car.
Gaode was in the driver's seat. Normally, Qin Yikun should sit in the back seat with Ronan to facilitate handling of dangers, but as soon as the door opened, Zhang Yingying sat in next to Ronan and stretched out comfortably.
Bulletproof off-road vehicles really have this space.
Qin Yikun had no choice but to get in the car from the other side, squeezing Ronan in the middle. Maoyan was tired of dealing with someone, so he was happy to sit in the passenger seat, which was spacious and clean.
When the vehicle started, Zhang Yingying came over to chat with Ronan again: "You have become very familiar with Maoyan recently. Do you want to take advantage?"
"Oh, I'm asking for advice." Ronan was very familiar with lying.
Zhang Yingying sneered: "What do you ask me for? Global awareness?"
After she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue and apologized to Maoyan, who didn't care at all.
"There is no global sensing, but the long-distance sensing is still very good. You know, I just learned the dripping sword. If I can use it to achieve long-distance killing, it will be more suitable for my path."
"What do I know? I don't know!" Zhang Yingying curled her lips, "After I got you a business, I practiced holding my breath on the bottom of the sea. As soon as I came out, I heard that someone had provoked extraordinary beings and almost destroyed the municipal square.
Hundreds of thousands of people were blown up into the sky together..."
The cat eye on the co-pilot raised his injured arm slightly: "Personal experience, golden words."
She was referring to the previous sentence "The Gate of Hell". Ronan's face twitched and he fell silent again.
On the other hand, Qin Yikun couldn't help but say: "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Luo. In the final analysis, the enemy is just using Mr. Luo to attract attention, and the target is President Ouyang. But even the president sometimes cannot take care of him.
…”
"When gods fight, mortals suffer." Zhang Yingying summed it up sharply, "To put it bluntly, if you think they died because of you, it means you think you are an extraordinary god and the world revolves around you... arrogance is
What’s wrong!”
"Get out!" Ronan finally couldn't help but fight back.
Zhang Yingying laughed loudly. Although she was sharp-tongued and used to cut people's skin just like the person in the co-pilot, she was a true optimist and wanted the people next to her to be happy with her.
Amidst the laughter, Zhang Yingying knocked on the car window: "Thank you for the ride, just park here. Now my place is a real shack, and I won't invite you as guests..."
When the car stopped, Zhang Yingying patted Ronan's cheek rudely with the back of her hand, teasing her: "Boss Luo, wait until you really become a god, then you can think about those boring things."
Once she succeeded, she jumped out of the car happily, jumped over the railing, and fell towards the sea below the cliff dozens of meters high. The water waves shook and made a muffled sound.
Speaking of which, the "White Rainbow" Qi in her body has really become more and more powerful, and it has almost affected the presentation of her normal life aura. I think the next step is to seriously polish the control.
The car restarted, and Ronan's thoughts turned back to himself. He didn't want to be pretentious and act like a sour fool who said "it's all my fault", nor did he think he was really above the majority of people...
...Well, maybe there are some signs.
But if nothing else, even now, there is a fatal and insurmountable barrier waiting for him. How can he be confident?
It gradually became clear to Ronan that perhaps today's low mood was more of the root cause of the stress in recent days that had been difficult to relieve.
If the stress is not eliminated, he will not be able to have a good day.
While I was doing self-analysis, my ears were shaking. Zhang Yingying sent a message, with a "dumbfounded" expression on her head: "It suddenly occurred to me that the Dripping Sword... Are you the Watering Can Man?"
