It was not the hour, and everyone stopped. They looked at the bell tower, and then silently lowered their heads, their eyes full of regret.
They all understand what the ringing of the bell means at this moment. Someone has left again. This is the death knell. Today, there will be another photo in the Hall of Valor in Odin Square... If possible, they hope that the photo there will never be seen again.
Don't add any more.
The sky is getting dark, and the crescent moon hangs behind the clock tower high above the college.
White doves cover the night sky, like bats flying around the bell tower. The silver moonlight shines on the bell tower, giving people an eerie feeling, like the legendary vampire's castle.
It was dark and silent, with only the light on the top of the bell tower still on. The silver-haired old man was lying on the recliner, reading the report in his hand.
The old man was lying on his back, kicking the flip-flops on his feet toward the table.
The only electronic product on the table next to me is an old desktop computer.
The web page lit up on the screen was a forum, a forum named after his code name - Night Watch.
This is the official forum of Kassel College, and tonight’s forum is destined to be less peaceful.
The entire page is gray.
Because everyone knows someone died in the line of duty.
However, there are no posts on the forum about who died in the line of duty. There are only posts about two successful dragon slayings and posts about S-class commissioners successfully defeating two next-generation species.
Fingel still knows how to do some human things, and he probably knows that unnecessary sad things will only arouse people's sadness.
It started to rain outside the window, like tears from the sky.
An old man in a black suit held an umbrella and walked in the rain. He came to the lighthouse.
He was wearing mourning clothes, because someone would leave at any time, just like today. He was always ready to bury the Dragon King, and he was always ready to attend the funerals of his companions.
He climbed to the top of the lighthouse, opened an old door, and hung his umbrella on the door handle.
"You're still the same... free and easy."
Angers searched for the right words to describe the environment here, but it seemed that only free and easy could be used to describe it, although it was still somewhat inappropriate.
There are empty bottles of whiskey piled on the floor, and posters of bikini girls on the walls. This old friend’s taste has not changed at all over the years, and even the covers of the CDs piled on the table are still the same as before, so it can’t be like
Is he still a fashionable gentleman?
"Do you think everyone like you can pick up girls all over the world at public expense?"
The night watchman threw a bottle of whiskey to Ange.
"As I get older, I'm not as energetic as you, but it's always good to keep your eyes entertained, right?"
"You didn't look old at all when you were having a pool party at the college."
Angers never believed the lies told by this guy. He couldn't tell which one of them was more romantic. At least he himself was not like the guy in front of him. His son looked older than his father. Bah, Angers was stunned for a moment.
, it’s not right to think so, it’s just like he has no talent.
The night watchman threw the report aside and took a sip of whiskey. "I heard that your student killed two offspring in a row? They were the ones with dragon bodies."
"Ah, yes, I can collect more things in my garden. You should have read the report, right? Although the Japanese branch is not trustworthy, the second report was written by our own students."
Angers had a smile on his face, as if he had killed the two dragons himself.
"Oh, the report from the Japanese branch is outrageous. They say that they haven't even found the complete body of the second-generation implant. I think they want to keep it for themselves! The report written by the children in the college is also quite tactful. We don't even know that the first-generation implant is broken.
Where did his wings go? Judging from the wounds, they must have been recently broken. The people from the execution department did not find the remains of the wings. They couldn't have been roasted and eaten, right? But one thing is certain, your student is really
It's amazing that you can win head-on against an opponent of that size."
The night watchman asked, "Tell me in good conscience, can you do it? Hang a second-generation species weighing dozens of tons so that it has no power to resist?"
"Who knows?" Angers joked, "But doesn't it just have to be the right ending?"
"Is the ending really right? We have lost an outstanding student." The night watchman sighed helplessly.
"The war of slaying dragons will always be accompanied by sacrifices." Angers was unmoved, "Shouldn't we have gotten used to it long ago?"
"Habit? Haha... This doesn't matter. Schneider asked me to ask you, are you really sure you can control such a guy?"
The night watchman's face was gloomy. This is probably the difference between him and Ange. He has a son, so he cannot be like this Avenger and ignore everything. "If he loses control, who will stop him?"
"He won't lose control." Angers said with a confident smile.
"Why?" The night watchman frowned.
"This person can't be the Dragon King. I know this best. I think you should understand it too, right? Even the Dragon King cannot have such power in a human body." Angers' eyes were full of confidence.
.
"Of course I know. This is what we are worried about. This guy may be more terrifying than the Dragon King." The night watchman looked serious.
"Then there is no problem." Angers drank all the wine in his hand, "As long as this knife can help us slay the dragon, so what if I sacrifice the knife in the end?"
The night watchman's eyes were a little unbelievable. He really didn't expect the man in front of him to be so awesome. "He is harmless to humans? What if one day he wants to destroy the world?"
"I don't know." Angers shook his head, "But as long as you don't provoke him, I think it won't be a big problem. Big deal, I will stop him in the end..."
"It should be...not a big problem..." The night watchman's eyes widened.
…
In the dark environment, there were only dim lights hanging on the walls and the light from the old TV set on the floor.
There was 'Tom and Jerry' on that black and white TV.
Tom caught Jerry, Jerry escaped from Tom, Tom caught Jerry again, and Tom let Jerry go.
The end result is always Jerry playing tricks on Tom.
But Jerry never thought that this seemingly playful cat would actually be easy to catch. Tom is actually a very smart cat, so Jerry would be caught every time.
Every time Jerry was able to escape, it was because Tom would always let him go. They were not like natural enemies, but enemies. No one could live without the other. Jerry once saved Tom from falling into the water, and Tom would let Jerry go.
This is the best feeling.
Maybe many years later, Tom will be old, and his owner will no longer like this cat that can't catch mice. The new kittens will also bully him, and they will throw his food outside the door. And Tom no longer has the strength to run.
, he would also slowly go out and pick up the piece of dusty cheese, place it gently in front of the mouse hole covered with cobwebs in the corner, knock on the door, and wait for Jerry to come out.
The girl stared blankly at the pictures on the black and white TV. She was not interested and stretched out. She didn't understand what was so good about this kind of animation, but her brother seemed to like it, which made her embarrassed to change.
tower.
She yawned and lay down helplessly, feeling warm. Her pretty face was pressed against the 'floor', which was reassuringly warm. It was the temperature of a family member.
The girl's eyes moved slightly, looking at the potato chips that suddenly floated next to her, with a pleasant smile on her face. It was a bag of potato chips carefully twisted with a heavy paw.
The place where the girl was lying was not on the floor, but on the head of a huge dragon.
"Sister, don't be unhappy, eat potato chips."
The giant dragon made a deep sound, and it said the cutest words in the most awesome voice without any sense of violation.
The giant dragon's two huge golden eyes were looking at the girl above him like cross-bred eyes, with a little bit of prayer in his eyes.
He thought his sister was angry and refused to watch TV with him.
"I'm not unhappy."
The girl caressed its head, "It's just that I can't stand this kind of...warm animation."
The brother's brain is not very easy to use, so he always likes to treat her as his sister, but in fact, there is really no need to distinguish between twins.
The dragon didn't quite understand the meaning of the girl's words, but silently touched the remote control with his paw to change the channel.
But the scene turned into a youth romance drama.
The boy is inviting the girl to ride the Ferris wheel.
Inexplicable memories appeared in the girl's mind.
The man forced the ice cream into her hands and stuffed her into the Ferris wheel...
Through the window of the Ferris wheel, they looked at the city filled with stars, and recalled the night sky in the past. Their thoughts seemed to be projected on this black and white TV, and emotions that should not exist grew in their hearts.
Ferris wheel, aquarium and cinema, do you really want to take me to the remaining two?
"Ding——ding——"
The ringtone of the mobile phone rang one after another, and the mobile phone placed on the dragon's head began to vibrate and gradually shifted.
The girl wanted to catch it, but the phone fell from the dragon's head.
Being caught by a huge paw, the dragon opened his palm and the phone fell in the middle of his palm. He didn't know what it was, but his sister seemed very anxious.
It spread its palms in front of its head, and the girl's petite figure fell on its palms.
It raised its head, its huge body unable to stretch in this small space.
Every move it made seemed like the earth was shaking, so it could only huddle here, staring gently at the girl in its palm, as if waiting for something.
The girl's eyes looked at the lit screen of the mobile phone with some hesitation.
There is only one person's number saved in her mobile phone, and only one person has her number.
She was originally said to be blocked, but after thinking about it, she still didn't block her. It would be too lonely if she had a mobile phone but no one called her.
To answer or not to answer?
If a phone call is not picked up after ringing for forty-five seconds, the caller will receive a no-answer message.
She had hesitated for half a minute.
Will it be embarrassing if I answer the call? If not, will he call me again?
Finally, she picked up the phone.
"Hello? What are you doing? You haven't answered the phone for so long."
The typical straight man's speech made the girl frown.
"watch TV."
"I don't believe it unless you videotape me."
"I'm dead."
"No...actually, I have something to say..."
The male voice on the phone was hesitant.
The girl raised her eyebrows, that's it? Do you want to confess on the phone? Please wake up, kid, are you trying to get rid of me?
On the deck, Xuan Hao leaned against the edge of the ship, supporting his body with his right foot. He tapped his left foot on the deck, looking at the endless ocean, holding the phone in his hand, and the sea breeze caressed his face, with a smile on his face.
This was a huge transport ship, and the academy worked very hard to pack the huge next-generation dragon body home. This thing was too heavy, and it was impossible to transport it by air unless it was dismembered.
But how could the secret party bear to dismember such a complete ancient dragon's remains, so they could only choose to transport it by water.
Treya had already left with the girl's body, and the task of escorting the ancient dragon's remains back to the academy naturally fell on the other three.
At this time, Su Qian and Chu Zihang looked at each other.
Chu Zihang looked at the man leaning against the fence and was talking on the phone a little confused. What was classmate Xuan Hao doing? The sea breeze was a bit strong and he couldn't hear clearly what Xuan Hao said. No, of course he knew how to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls.
It was a very rude thing, but he had never seen such a manly expression before, so he was very curious.
He asked Susie with doubtful eyes.
Susie's face was full of helplessness. Of course she understood what this meant. She could see the joy overflowing from the actions of the man leaning on the edge of the boat, and she almost had the word "happy" on his back.
Who else can make a man so happy except his passionate girlfriend?
"Falling in love." Su Qian explained to Chu Zihang simply and clearly.
"That's it." Chu Zihang said with an "I understand" expression.
No, you don’t understand at all. Su Qian felt helpless. She knew that Chu Zihang must have understood the situation at hand. He always observed his surroundings carefully. He could judge all situations rationally, but he often ignored the things that related to him.
of.
"I'm a little curious." Chu Zihang suddenly said.
Su Qian raised her eyebrows. This is a good thing. Chu Zihang can be curious about love.
"What are you curious about?"
"What kind of person can this person who doesn't care about anything care about?"
Chu Zihang carefully recalled that he had not had much contact with Xuan Hao, but from his observations, he could feel that the man in front of him did not seem to be from the same world as them.
This feeling of isolation from the world is no longer just about Blood Mourning.
In the college, Chu Zihang only saw Xuanhao in one place, the dormitory.
He had a feeling that if no one called this man out, he would seal himself in the room forever.
"Chu Zihang, do you want to go back to China?"
At this time, Xuan Hao seemed to have finished the phone call and seemed to be in a good mood. He walked up to the two of them unhurriedly and spoke to Chu Zihang.
"No, I haven't completed my credits this year."
Chu Zihang's true answer stunned Xuan Hao.
He had forgotten that this guy was a perfect academic, unlike a worm like him who was too lazy to even go to class. Of course, he had to put his studies first.
"Besides, I will succeed as the president of the Lion Heart Club after I return." Chu Zihang seemed to think that the reason just now was a bit inappropriate, and added.
"Okay, excuse me."
Xuan Hao felt that he shouldn't have mentioned this. To him, the last sentence of Chu Zihang sounded like a real excuse. However, he had decided to take time to return to China. He would go back with or without Chu Zihang.
I just thought it would be nice to have a companion on the road, so I mentioned it.
Calculating the time, it should be almost... He turned his head and looked at the distance of the sea. After he sent the trophy to the refrigerator, he took the time to go home and take a look.
