"When you return to Beijing, you have two things to do.
First, go to the headquarters to register the information of your fifth special team, including the team name, captain, deputy captain and other information. You also need to customize your cloak and communication equipment, and by the way, choose your team’s exclusive aircraft... If you
if you need.
The second is the awarding of honors."
Zuo Qing continued, "The things you did in Japan's 'human circle' have spread to the top brass of the Night Watch, and a 'Star Sea' medal is a certainty.
And this time of disaster-level beast tide, it was only through your own defense of Shenlong Pass that a catastrophe could be avoided. This achievement is enough to earn the second 'Star Sea' Medal. However, because this incident has just happened, leaving
The procedure may take a while, and you will have to stay in Shangjing for two more days until the two medals are awarded together."
In one breath, two "Star Sea" medals?
On the side, everyone in the [Phoenix] team turned their heads and looked at Lin Qiye and others with envy in their eyes.
Since the establishment of the [Phoenix] team, they have had as many "Star" medals as they want, but they have yet to get a "Star Sea" medal... It's not because [Phoenix] is weak, but because it hasn't been able to get the "Star Sea" medal.
Medal opportunity.
To get "Star Sea", you must have corresponding achievements.
This kind of opportunity to achieve achievements does not appear often. For example, the beast tide appeared once half a year ago, but Wang Mian turned the tide. Although it appeared again this time, a [Night Curtain] shot out of the sky.
Another great achievement was made.
As for entering the "human circle" and turning it upside down, it is even more impossible for the [Phoenix] team.
It's not that they don't have the strength to win "Star Sea", it's just because of bad luck.
"Then are we the only team among the active special teams with two 'Star Sea' medals?" Baili Pangpang asked excitedly.
Xia Simeng was stunned, then smiled and said: "No... the [Masked] team got another 'Star Sea' medal from the catastrophic beast wave half a year ago, plus the one from many years ago.
[Masked] also has two ‘star seas’.”
Baili Pangpang grinned, and his interest suddenly waned.
"By the way, I have a question..." Lin Qiye looked up at Zuo Qing and recalled what Xia Simeng called him at the beginning. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked:
"Commander Ye...where have you gone?"
As the breeze blew through the sea of blood, Zuo Qing's eyes condensed and he fell into silence.
…
Half a day later.
Lin Qiye sat on the broken steel city wall of Shenlong Pass, looking at the horizon in the distance, motionless like a sculpture.
The waves subsided, the night receded, and the sky returned to its original color. The dim sunset fell on the pink sea like broken gold, dragging Lin Qiye's back for a long time.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind and handed him a bottle of beer.
Under the setting sun, the orange-yellow wine liquid in the glass bottle swayed slightly, and fine bubbles poured out from the bottom, rose, shattered, and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Qiye took the bottle of wine, and after a moment of silence, he took a swig of it.
Cao Yuan also held a bottle of beer in his hand, sat next to Lin Qiye, and sighed helplessly.
"I know what you are thinking." Cao Yuan turned to look at him, "It is Commander Ye's own choice to change his life. Although it is you who brought that heart back, it does not mean that you need to treat Commander Ye
Responsible for his death."
"...I know." Lin Qiye held the wine bottle and said hoarsely, "But there is actually no need for him to change his life. The seal of the goddess of the night has no time limit. Even if hundreds of years pass, the seal of the senior sword master
The heart will still beat. In these long years, maybe... we can find another way to resurrect the senior sword master without having to change his life.
If I could return to Daxia in time and tell him this, maybe he wouldn't die."
Cao Yuan looked at Lin Qiye's profile, his eyes full of complexity.
"You have worked very hard, Qiye." Cao Yuan sighed, "If you hadn't taken us and ventured into the fog, Senior Sword Master might not have been able to take that step. If it weren't for you, Senior Sword Master might have transformed into a Tao and completely dissipated...
…
After all, we are only mortals and cannot be omniscient or omnipotent. As you said, we only need to protect the people within our ability under this night."
Lin Qiye didn't speak. He just sat on the city wall, picked up the wine bottle in his hand, and took another sip.
"Commander Ye's death, I should be the one who suffers the most." Cao Yuan said slowly, "If it weren't for him, I would still be locked up in the deepest part of the fasting center, imprisoned like a beast, let alone join the vigil.
People, enter [night] again...
I don’t want him to die just like that. After all, he is my benefactor, the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Night Watch, and the person who sows the seeds for this era.
But since this is his choice, we should respect it instead of regretting our inaction here."
Lin Qiye was startled.
At this moment, a ship sailed from the north and entered the broken Shenlong Pass. Several figures got off the ship carrying a stretcher and passed by Lin Qiye and the others.
The stretcher was covered with a dark red cloak, covering the lifeless human body lying on it. In the man's hand, there was a sheathed straight knife.
Lin Qiye's mental power swept across the stretcher, and he saw the body under the cloak clearly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is……"
When the stretcher passed by them, Lin Qiye asked.
Among the people carrying the stretcher, Fang Zuo's eyes flashed with deep sadness, and he explained: "This is the temporary person in charge of Shenlongguan, the former deputy captain of the 066 team, Lu Qiu, he is here for
He passed on the information about the beast tide as soon as possible, used the "Ghost and God Guide" to overdraw his life, and finally died in front of Tujiao Pass.
His body was sent back from Tujiao Pass, and we are going to pack up his body and belongings and transport them back to land... for burial."
Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.
Of course they are familiar with that face.
If Lu Qiu hadn't risked his life to deliver the information, Lin Qiye and others would not have appeared at Shenlong Pass now, and Daxia's reinforcements would not have arrived so quickly. This catastrophe might have spread to the land, causing immeasurable damage.
damage……
In the eyes of most people, the [Night] team that fell from the sky was the savior, but very few people knew that it was a night watchman named Lu Qiu who really saved this pass and avoided a catastrophe.
