"Well, the second lady's order only includes intelligence investigation and surveillance of Damon and the others, and does not include other tasks."
"I understand. Bringing this teleportation talisman, the guidance time is 9.81 seconds. I'm sorry, without the guidance of Teacher Xi Nian, I can only speed it up by one second."
"Where is the teleportation location?"
"You must pay attention to safety in the temporary camp of Qidong troops. We don't want to see sacrifices due to helplessness, don't we?"
"Are you caring about me? I'm obviously just a temporary member of the team."
"I care about everyone who has helped or accompanied me, even if she is a veteran who is more experienced than me."
"Veterans will die eventually, and all that is left to be praised are the past tense and stories. I just want to make them more exciting."
——After saying goodbye, Lingjiu took off the teleportation talisman on the dark element crystal and left alone.
The night wind was blowing. Lin Shuwen, who had put on his equipment, curled up his right leg and sat leaning on a huge granite with a solemn expression.
At his five o'clock position, Liu Yexiao, who was in his personality state, was holding his face with one hand, staring obsessively at his red eyes reflecting the moon. The duck was sitting on the sand beside the stream.
Lin Shuwen was thinking about some messy things. In such a moment when there was basically no one to disturb him, it was rare for him to have a moment of leisure and relaxation.
The wind pulled up his scarlet bangs, and Lin Shuwen suddenly turned his head and looked at the woods on the right.
"Come out! Doesn't the cat think there are too many bugs there?"
"Shashasha..."
In front of Lin Shuwen's sight, weeds with the smell of burning insects spread to both sides. Mo Yunfei, with leaves on his head, was dressed in formal combat uniform and walked out with a complicated expression.
Liu Ye glanced at Mo Yunfei with his red left eye, then lost interest and continued to look around cautiously.
To be precise, there are several human-shaped black shadows around.
"Let's talk! I didn't have time to talk to you when I was on the mountain. As the boss, I should pay more attention to my younger brother, nuh!"
Reaching into the shadow, Lin Shuwen threw a bottle of mineral water to Mo Yunfei, who was standing not far away.
"Shall we sit down?"
"Um."
After receiving the mineral water, Mo Yunfei sat down cross-legged with some hesitation, opened the bottle cap, raised his head and drank it all.
"Cough cough cough..."
As expected, I was choked.
"You're not afraid of water poisoning either..."
Lin Shuwen smiled easily and threw a clean towel to Mo Yunfei.
"Boss, your injury..."
Mo Yunfei wiped his mouth and finally said his first sentence.
"After taking Master's medicine, the pain has been suppressed for the time being."
"What's the pain? The driving element shouldn't cause pain..."
As a fire elementalist who has ascended to the original level, Mo Yunfei still has some experience in controlling elemental spirits. In his impression, Lin Shuwen and the waning moon who can barely control the elemental spirits coexist in this kind of situation where there is no distinction between you and me.
With the blessing of intimacy, there should be no such problems.
"Well... you should remember the setting of the masked warrior Kong Jia, right?"
Lin Shuwen narrowed his eyes slightly, his red eyes were like daggers, and the strange shape under the moonlight made Liu Yexiao feel a little thirsty.
"Ah~ It's better not to dig out those eyes... This would be great..."
"Alas...my Xiao'er, you are hopeless."
Liu Yexiao, who was starting to get sick, was talking to himself in the distance. His complaints and idiotic voices did not break the conversation between Lin Shuwen and Mo Yunfei.
"Remember, the burning biochemical warrior."
"Actually, my dragon transformation is similar to Kongjia's. To be precise, it's a complete dragon transformation. Well... let me explain it to you this way."
Lin Shuwen took off one sleeve and exposed his right arm. The eye symbol of the dark element appeared between his eyebrows. Blood lines covered his body like a spider web, forming patterns similar to the shell of an armor.
Between his eyebrows, the physical blood condensed into a talisman eye representing "now".
"Uh-huh..."
Lin Shuwen's face tensed, and he let out a low growl of pain from his open mouth. Mo Yunfei subconsciously wanted to stop his actions, but then, he was shocked to the spot by the sight in front of him.
The blood-red tubular tissue, unknown to be nerves or meridians, tore open his arm and expanded and combined with some kind of red particles. Finally,
A meridian system in the shape of a dragon's claw was formed on Lin Shuwen's ulcerated and torn arm.
Then, the awe-inspiring white bones pierced out from the fragmented arm mountain, expanded and grew with the help of the same particles, and combined with the meridian system to form the basic dragon claw skeleton.
With the formation of the skeleton, the severe pain Lin Shuwen experienced doubled for the first time. He used his remaining left hand to grab the turf and his clothes. The boulder he was leaning on had already made several punch holes on the surface.
Full of cracks.
He wailed miserably...
The darkness, like a living creature, tore at the remaining skin and flesh, and the black and red muscles stretched, clinging to the skeleton and meridians under the command of the red particles.
Because his muscles and meridians were in an extremely sensitive state, Lin Shuwen's pain doubled for the second time. He grabbed his right shoulder with his left hand and banged his head against the boulder crazily.
"cough……"
The white bone wings waved gently. Mo Wei, who couldn't stand it anymore, replaced the boulder and accepted her lover's crazily hitting her head with her belly. Her pale arms were like the highest-grade jade pillows, hugging her gently and firmly.
The lover's jade teeth are sunk in his lips, his eyelashes are shining, and his silky silver hair is flying amidst the wails of his master and his sweetheart.
The red of blood, the black of darkness, and the white of ghosts, under the moonlight, the two people embracing formed a poignant and beautiful picture.
Mo Yunfei was completely stunned, and Liu Yexiao's two personalities were also frozen in place. In the advanced plane, a cloud of silver-gray mist was also trembling excitedly.
"Another me..."
"Well, you can't be wrong. That red particle is the same as mine. It is the basic particle that constitutes the origin-level life form, the cornerstone of high-dimensional life form..."Kaina"."
One black and one red pupil reflected the red particles trailing upstream of the newborn dragon's claws. Lin Shuwen, who had finally completed his true dragon transformation, was breathing heavily and kept saying sorry in Mo Wei's arms.
Mo Wei's abdomen was completely congested and red, and there were even ruptures and bleeding in some places.
"Darling... let's live in seclusion! Don't worry about these humans anymore!!!"
With tears streaming down her face, Mo Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore and tried to persuade her with a tearful voice. She couldn't imagine what kind of pain it was, and she didn't dare to speculate on what would happen to her if such pain happened to her!
What's more important is that the man she loves is undergoing such training not for herself, but for creatures like humans who have hurt her countless times. There is absolutely no place for her to comfort herself.
"Boss, you..."
The words rolled up and down his throat several times, and Mo Yunfei could only spit out these few words.
"I'm not...cough! For human beings..."
Lin Shuwen staggered and propped himself up, leaning on the boulder again. He glanced guiltily at the beautiful lover next to him, and left an apologetic kiss on her forehead.
"I'm just... pursuing efficiency, in order to be able to protect you guys in a future like Naiya where gods may appear..."
Lin Shuwen looked up at the sky, laughed softly, and then said in a pretentious manner:
"What do you think the thorns piercing those mercenaries are?! Those are my bones and nerves covered in dark elements!"
"Boss..."
Mo Yunfei's mouth was dry, and he didn't know what he should say at this moment.
Language is so cheap that there is no need to even make a sound.
"It doesn't hurt that much anymore! As long as I practice more... Just look at the performance in The Masked Warrior! As long as you get used to it, you can transform at will..."
Lin Shuwen smiled and patted Mo Yunfei on the shoulder with a real black dragon claw.
"Boss, you really don't have to be a hero, let alone a hero who has repeatedly saved people like me..."
Mo Yunfei once again thought of Lin Shuwen, who had shrunk in sight on the day of the annual meeting, although Lin Shuwen had a few words with him when he formed the "Haizhi" team, which relieved his guilt to a certain extent.
But for Mo Yunfei, Lin Shuwen's heroic behavior of risking his life to save himself these few times... no, it was his stupid behavior that caused Lin Shuwen to be injured because he was unable to do so. The regret and self-blame from them are always reflected in the moment when he calms down.
Torturing him, Lin Shuwen's heartwarming "It's okay" smile was what he feared the most and what he least wanted to see.
He felt that he was unworthy and not worthy of being treated like this. He had even been asking for Lin Shuwen to kill him with his own hands that day so that he could atone for his sins and obtain redemption and liberation.
Compared to this warm smile, Mo Yunfei would rather Lin Shuwen treat him like an animal!
"Have you forgotten? I once told you that I will not be a hero. I will just protect you guys selfishly. Compared with me, you are a born hero."
Lin Shuwen looked at the helpless Mo Yunfei in front of him and stretched his hand into the shadow.
"I won't do it either! I'm not qualified at all! I will only bring trouble to you, the boss! I can't do anything except make trouble! I can only do stupid things without thinking! I...I even..."
"But because of you, many people have been saved. If it were anyone else, whether it was Xu Rong, the students who slandered you, or even the seriously injured civilians at the annual meeting, and others who only you would care about
Ordinary people who will be abandoned by most people. Yes, if it were me, they would not be saved at all."
Lin Shuwen fumbled, took out his mobile phone from the shadow, and flipped through the photo album.
"I...I just had a hot head...compared to those, boss, you are the hero..."
"Look at my appearance, and then think about my behavior, do you think other people will regard me as a hero, or as a "good alien"?"
Lin Shuwen raised his dragon-shaped right arm and waved it twice. The ferocious scales shone brightly in the moonlight. The night wind passed through the gap and the whole arm made a clanking sound, like the tail of a rattlesnake.
"but……"
"Okay~"
Lin Shuwen leaned forward, and the dragon's claws put Mo Yunfei's shoulders, pulling his upper body towards him.
"despair!"
With their eyebrows colliding, Lin Shuwen looked directly into Mo Yunfei's eyes and said in a big brother's tone:
"If you really feel guilty for me, try to make yourself stronger, save those people I can't save, and protect the things you cherish! If you still feel it's not enough, then hold on! Just be like a man to me.
Just keep those girly thoughts in your mind! Remember! Always! Live like a man!"
"Live like a crisp, upright man!"
"yes……"
"Are you screaming at me?!"
"no!!"
"Then speak louder! Do you want to listen to me?!"
"want!"
"Do you want to be a man that I can respect?!"
"want!!!"
“Great!”
"Boom..."
Lin Shuwen hit Mo Yunfei's forehead hard, and Lin Shuwen laughed with a certain sense of satisfaction. In front of him, Mo Yunfei, who was relieved, burst into tears, and kept wiping his tears and snot with his arms.
.
"Boss! Boss I'm sorry!!!!"
"Louder, I can't hear you!!!"
“I’m sorry, boss!!!!!!”
"Louder!!!"
“I’m sorry, boss!!!!!!!!”
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Lin Shuwen hugged the crying Mo Yunfei and laughed, with a few looming crystals flickering in the corners of his opened eyes.
Why on earth do I want to be so nice to this guy? He's stupid, stupid, likes to lie, fake smiles, follows others' influence, is a girl control, a gangster...
Why should I care so much about this man who is so hard to brag about, even to the point of sacrificing his own life to protect him?
"Yunfei..."
"Um...cough...boss?"
"You are the first friend who treats me sincerely, and you are also one of the few good men in the world with an innocent heart. I am good to you just because you have given me your sincerity, just because you are a person like
A pure "hero" like a treasure."
"Boss, no, I..."
"However, those are only part of the reasons. I just want to be good to you, just like the heroes in my childhood impressions. I care for you like a hero just like I care for my beautiful childhood dreams."
Lin Shuwen looked up at the moon and seemed to see himself as a child, holding the hero's doll in his hand and begging with his body that was beaten black and blue by his father.
In this world, there really are those pure heroes.
"Yunfei, be the hero you want to be. I will always, like Night Batman's butler, protect you as a hero until I die."
"I will not let a hero like you be tainted with tragedy!"
