I can tell the time by looking at the stars, and I can tell the position by looking at the moon, but no matter what I look at, I can't understand people's hearts.
Do you understand? "Shenzhou Xuanying".
——In the quiet night, the electric sparks on the blade were rubbing and making noise.
The stars and the moon hung high in the sky, and Lin Shuwen was sitting on the edge of a strange stone on the top of the mountain. In front of him, Xinlian was holding a short dagger, confronting the figure that appeared in the woods.
With black round edges, feminine bows and white T-shirts, the man who dedicated himself from the shadows was no stranger to Lin Shuwen.
Yu Wenmo, who claims to be "Ye Lanxin's sharpest scalpel" and the leader of the "Garden" assassination headhunting group "Champagne Rose", is codenamed "Lianzi".
The difference is that he has a long sword on his lower back.
"To be honest, I think I am well-informed, but I still feel embarrassed and disgusted when I hear this code name."
Yu Wenmo tilted his head, the shadow of his hat covering half of his eyes. Under the silver moon, the eye staring at Lin Shuwen was full of hostility and contempt.
"I'm still curious about where you went after you left. Now it seems that Lan Xin herself has ambushed many chess moves~"
"Lan Xin? Why can you, the man who placed the orbital weapon on the second lady's head, be so shameless?"
"It seems that you can check further than me~"
"It doesn't matter whose clue I follow."
"Did you kill Wang Qiyuan?"
"Keep what is useful and throw away what is useless. Any life should be so clean and tidy, but human beings are different. When they consider discarding, there are other factors."
"For example, disgust."
Yu Wenmo slowly pulled out the Changtachi sword from his lower back. The blade of the sword shone with cold light under the moonlight and had a simple and unsophisticated design.
This is Yu Wenmo’s trophy in a certain cross-border operation, the Moon of Light
It is said that the magic power of the Onmyoji is added to it, allowing it to cut through invisible objects. Xinian's explanation is that this knife has a certain incantation carved into the inside of the blade, which can interfere with the activation of elemental spiritual powers.
The premise is that it does not exceed the user's understanding of their own abilities.
"Before I take action, I want to ask you a question. Why do you choose someone who is not related to you?"
"Why don't you choose the person you care about the most?!"
Lin Shuwen sat up from the ground and pulled Xinlian behind him. His face against the moonlight was obscured by shadows, and Yu Wenmo couldn't see his expression for a moment.
"So, I don't want to be a hero."
The answer was not what he asked. When Yu Wenmo heard Lin Shuwen's answer, he laughed angrily. He turned his wrist and slashed diagonally at Lin Shuwen with his sword!
"bass!"
The sword flashed past the tip of Lin Shuwen's nose and sank into the ground. Except for a clear mark, this slash did not stir up any dust!
Lin Shuwen did not take time to think about these details. Through previous fights, he clearly knew that Yuwenmo had the ability to divide. Although he immediately covered his body with dragon scales, he must always pay attention to the fact that the target of Yuwenmo's ability was himself.
Which part.
Out of habit, he called her name again.
"Small……"
This was the second time he called Xue Lin's name today. At this moment, because of Yu Wenmo's arrival and Xue Lin's memories, a what if pierced his mind.
(If I had not stopped and seized that "insurance", that orbital weapon, would I not be afraid of Naia...)
(If Naiya can be driven back, Xiaolin won’t have to die!!)
This day is so unbridled
Although the result was outrageous, it successfully aroused Lin Shuwen's emotional fluctuations.
Human beings are always like this. When someone puts your past choices in front of you who have already accepted the consequences, you will always subconsciously think about it and ponder what ifs.
In the end, I will give myself an IF that is outrageous to the extreme but has a happy ending.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Wenmo seized the opportunity to raise the knife. Lin Shuwen had no choice but to cross his arms in front of him and increase the crystal density of the dragon scales to the limit, preparing to resist the knife.
However, at this moment, Yu Wenmo activated his ability!
Bright red, dotted with the silver light of the moon.
Yu Wenmo cut a knife mark on the black scales on Lin Shuwen's right arm that was blocking the outside.
The unimpeded sword "Moon of Cutting Light" cut open Lin Shuwen's flesh and blood directly along the knife mark. Under the blood, there were dense white bones.
At the same time, it also shattered the inconspicuous "arm guard" on Lin Shuwen's right arm, which was a mechanical device for the Blood Scale Sword in its folded state.
Due to their portability and habit, Lin Shuwen would always ignore their existence when he didn't use them.
Under the severe pain, Lin Shuwen turned pale and fell to his knees on the ground. He hung his right arm and looked at the scattered debris on the ground in trance.
In his mind, there seemed to be a scream as the blood scales collapsed.
"Xiao Lin...it's all my fault!"
Lin Shuwen, who had been driven insane by the IF option, once again suffered a severe mental blow.
It's so similar, this powerlessness and loss, this fear.
Once again, it came to his mind.
He lowered his head and was exposed to Yu Wenmo's knife in a completely defenseless manner.
The sword struck down, aiming at Lin Shuwen's neck.
"Stop the attack!"
At the critical moment, Xinlian shouted with her power. This sound directly knocked Yu Wenmo stiff. Hearing the hint, he kept his posture and froze in place. The black scales separated by his power did not reunite and condense.
This completely shows that Lin Shuwen has forgotten his own life.
When he noticed the knife falling, he even chose death.
"Yu Wenmo! Are you crazy?!"
As someone who worked as a handyman for the "Red Hyacinth" of Ye Lanxin's intelligence unit, Xinlian naturally knew Yu Wenmo.
Even before the formation of "Haizhi", she was sent by Ye Lanxin to be Yu Wenmo's assistant in Tiandu.
She also participated in Yu Wenmo's action of picking up Lin Hao. She was the driver of the bus.
Later, it was also at Ye Lanxin's request that Ye Yuan arranged Xinlian to join the "Haizhi" team.
Since she is in Tiandu and works in the same job, her joining was as smooth as lubricating oil.
There is another fact here that breaks the fantasy of love, that is, why Ye Lanxin’s first sentence when she saw “Dagger” was to call it “Shu Wen”.
And this time, Xinlian also learned that Yu Wenmo would return here tonight, so she followed Lin Shuwen alone, looking for the right time to tell him this information.
But it was interrupted by a series of events.
"Have you forgotten the agreement you made with me?"
"After handing over the information to you, you will not be detrimental to everyone in "Haizhi". Have you forgotten?!"
Xinlian's scolding made Lin Shuwen sober up a little. He gradually calmed down his thoughts, and the black scales under the knife gathered and condensed again.
"Do you know what he did?! For the sake of fame! He actually allowed others to target the second lady and the others with orbital weapons!"
Yu Wenmo did not give in to himself
After the "Haizhi" team left Tiandu, he took over the investigation of the Central Normal University, and finally found the laboratory dedicated to that "insurance".
That "insurance" is an orbital weapon disguised as an abandoned satellite.
At this moment, it is floating over the Xushan Mountain. It has locked onto the battlefield with a radius of fifteen kilometers by relying on the coordinate positioning devices disguised as measuring instruments left behind by Tong Cong, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"But he is trying to save more innocent people. If we fail and release Damon, more people will lose their lives!"
"Then why hide it! Even if it's for the sake of the people of China, why didn't he tell the second lady and Uncle Ye?!"
"Because I do not know……"
A huge force came from the blade. Lin Shuwen held the blade of "Breaking Moon" with his left hand. The black scales continued to reorganize in his hand and moved it away from his neck.
On the hanging right arm, the scars that were originally visible on the bone have been covered by darkness.
"I learned this from Yu Yi. The best secret is not knowing."
The captain of the "Garden" covert action group "White Hyacinth", Yu Yi is a bisexual person with dual personalities. He often uses an unknowing female personality as his identity in daily life. Without the knowledge of outsiders, he can basically It is the most confidential method.
"That "insurance" is like "shadow killing", when you know it, when you can touch it, when its inviolable veil is removed..."
"You want to own it and control it."
"This is also what President Tong Zehai, no, to be precise, is the guys under him, those "curious cats" want or are doing."
Lin Shuwen looked pale. The information that there was an "inner ghost" in the team made him sober because he was worried about others, but he did not get over the collapse just now.
Since Xue Scale's sacrifice, he has never come out of this shadow. He came here just to find a quiet place to talk to himself.
Yes, through talking to yourself, you can relax, accept, and let yourself go.
Just like he did when Lilith was sacrificed.
"This is not simply a question of saving which side, there is no such simple question in this world."
"Everything is a variable!"
Yu Wenmo was silent. He suddenly realized what a big mistake he had made.
She is equivalent to Pandora with a magic box, and any possible factors will lead to a worse outcome.
Knowing the true identity of this "insurance" was equivalent to inflicting eternal torture on himself.
Unless, let others...
Yu Wenmo took the sword out of Lin Shuwen's hand, put it back into the scabbard, and looked at Xinlian, but after a few seconds, he silently shook his head.
"Why?"
"Let Xinlian activate her power to make me forget this, but this won't work for me. I know myself. After forgetting, I will realize one day what I have forgotten, and then try my best to find it."
"The consequences will be more serious."
"And I don't want the second lady to bear all this."
Yu Wenmo turned around and walked slowly towards the woods. With his eyes dimmed by the moonlight, his voice floated into Lin Shuwen's ears.
"Guarding the living, carrying the dead, living is to cherish those things that you cherish, or cherish your existence..."
“The best promise.”
Thin clouds drifted past the bright moon, and Lin Shuwen's shadow illuminated by the moonlight shrank little by little.
