The pale golden sun shines through the glass windows and onto the white floor tiles, giving the entire ward a golden halo.
On the hospital bed in the center of the room, the ninth lady's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
He stared at the ceiling above his head for a few seconds, then moved his head to the side, and saw a figure beside the glass window silently staring out the window, his shadow being dragged very long on the ground.
The ninth seat let out a long sigh,
"Why are you still here?"
By the window, Shen Qingzhu turned back and thought for a while:
"Oh, I'll come back to you to reimburse the medical expenses."
"..."
The ninth seater glanced at the exquisite fruit basket on the bedside and asked, "Do I need to bring a gift when reimbursing medical expenses?"
"The supermarket downstairs had a sale, so I bought some on the way."
"Play a few off?"
"99% off."
The corner of the ninth seat's mouth twitched slightly.
"The nonsense is dead, and the [believers] are gone as well. You have regained your freedom. If you don't go and reminisce with your brothers, why are you hanging around here?" The ninth seat said helplessly.
Shen Qingzhu glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid you'll die."
"..." The ninth seat couldn't help but said, "If I couldn't move now, I would definitely go down and beat you up."
"I'm serious." Shen Qingzhu turned to look at the sunshine outside the window and said calmly, "What I hate to see the most is the sacrifice of important people..."
He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes dimmed a little.
The ninth seat was stunned, "So, I am an important person in your heart?"
Shen Qingzhu twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his back silently, "I didn't say that."
The ninth seat stared at him for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth, "You, on the surface you are a tough person, tough, but in your heart you are softer than anyone else... When you came back from the nightclub that night, you hesitated for a long time, but you still didn't kill me.
, I saw it right then...
You cannot be a villain."
Shen Qingzhu looked at him in surprise, "Were you not drunk at that time?"
"As an undercover agent, how could I lose consciousness so easily?"
"..." Shen Qingzhu turned his head and made a "cut" sound.
"Brother!!!!"
Downstairs in the hospital, a familiar voice shouted.
Shen Qingzhu was stunned and looked down.
Downstairs in the inpatient department, I saw five people carrying a coffin, standing in the pale golden sun, looking up at this place with a smile.
Baili Pangpang took a deep breath, raised his voice, and shouted again: "Let's go!!!"
Shen Qingzhu froze on the spot.
On the hospital bed, Xi Xi smiled and said: "Your brothers are here to see you."
Shen Qingzhu turned around, looked at the ninth seat, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
"What are you looking at me for? It's not me they're calling." The ninth seat said helplessly.
"Brother!!!!"
Baili Pangpang's voice sounded again.
Soon, the noise downstairs became noisy.
"No... Comrade Security, we really didn't mean to disrupt the hospital environment... Five hundred, is five hundred enough? One thousand! I'll give you one thousand each!" Baili said weakly.
"Yes, Comrade Security, let's ask someone to come down..." This is Cao Yuan.
"We won't shout anymore. We really won't shout anymore. Can we just wait here... No, don't do anything!" This was Lin Qiye.
"?! Let's see who dares to touch him!" Jialan began to roll up his sleeves.
"Please don't touch this coffin, we really are not here to cause trouble." An Qingyu's voice was very serious.
"..."
Shen Qingzhu looked at Lin Qiye and others who were being blasted out by a group of security guards downstairs, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
"Your mission has been completed. Now, it's time to return to the sunshine..." The ninth seat smiled and said, "See you again in the future."
Shen Qingzhu looked into his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly spoke:
"……Take care of yourself."
He opened the door and walked out quickly.
"Hey!" The ninth seat seemed to have remembered something, "I haven't paid you the money yet!"
"I forgot to bring my list this time, maybe next time."
Shen Qingzhu smiled.
…
Lin Qiye and others stood dejectedly outside the hospital gate and looked at the time.
In the end, they were kicked out by hospital security guards.
"Qiye, will Brother Drag not come?" Baili Pangpang asked worriedly.
"Probably not." Lin Qiye said thoughtfully, "[The believers] have all been destroyed, so there is no reason for him not to come see us."
"What if he doesn't want to be a night watchman anymore?" Cao Yuan frowned slightly.
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye and others fell into silence.
Formally speaking, Shen Qingzhu died two years ago. Not only in the Night Watchman's files, but also in the memories of other people in the world, they also stay in the cave at the foot of Jinnan Mountain forever.
.
If his goal is only revenge, after killing all the [Believers], his goal has been achieved...
It seems that there is no reason for him to return to the Night Watch and go through life and death.
Find a quiet small city, get married, have children, and spend the rest of your life peacefully. From now on, you no longer have to worry about living... This is the ending that many night watchmen dream of.
"Wait ten more minutes." Lin Qiye looked at the time and said, "If he hasn't come down yet in ten minutes, we should leave."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
As time passed by, Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan kept looking at the time, looking through the dense crowd lining up at the entrance of the hospital, trying to find that figure among them.
However, the figure still did not appear.
When the second hand crossed a certain mark, Lin Qiye let out a long sigh and shook his head.
"He won't come...let's go."
Cao Yuan and Baili Pangpang looked at each other and saw frustration in each other's eyes. After stopping for a moment, they took steps forward and followed Lin Qiye towards the road ahead.
Everyone has their own choice. Since Shen Qingzhu has chosen this path, they can only give him instructions...
However, just after taking two steps, Lin Qiye at the front suddenly stopped.
Baili Pangpang raised his head in confusion and was about to say something, when he saw the figure on the street and suddenly froze on the spot.
Outside the small shop, I saw a young man leaning against the wall, holding a cigarette in his hand and blowing out a puff of smoke...
From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a few people not far away and raised his brows.
"Why so slow?"
"Brother Drag..." Baili Pangpang opened his mouth wide, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you ask me to come down?"
"But...what's wrong with the door..."
"Oh, the front door was too crowded, so I took the side door." Shen Qingzhu pointed to the canteen behind him, "And I was afraid that there would be no place to buy cigarettes, so I bought a pack first."
"..."
The corners of Lin Qiye's mouth couldn't help but raise.
Shen Qingzhu flicked his fingers, extinguished the burning cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can nearby, and then walked slowly to Lin Qiye.
"Lin Qiye... no, I should call you Captain Lin now."
Shen Qingzhu smiled and said,
"Nightwatchman Shen Qingzhu, please apply to return to the team."
