He thought he would fall asleep when he finally returned to the base, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the blood-stained backpack, the dried corpses in the park, and Captain Han's back falling into the lake kept flashing in his mind.
The starlight shines through Pan Yue's window through the dark red sky, sending a chill down his spine. He is always worried that he will inadvertently catch a glimpse of Hua Tianming's snake-like eyes in a dark corner.
After experiencing these things, he finally understood that what he had to face was far more complicated than he initially imagined.
After tossing and turning for a few hours, Pan Yue gave up fighting the shadow in her heart, got up and walked out of the room for a walk. He walked through the long corridor composed of many mirrors, and countless reflections of himself followed him.
Although he had put on the blue robe of the Resistance Army at this moment, the dark energy still surging in his body repeatedly reminded him of the fact that he was now a true son of the cult.
Pan Yue was struck by her sad and tired eyes in the mirror, which made her heart tremble, and she walked faster in the corridor.
There is a room-sized garden at the corner of the corridor. The flowers, plants and trees in it are specimens imitated by the resistance army based on the memories before entering the aperture. However, it is also one of the few pure places in this apocalyptic world that can make people feel peaceful.
Pan Yue slowly walked into the garden. A piece of dogtail grass was slightly trembling in the wind under the dark red light. This made him miss the world outside the circle of light.
That sunny little village, where I spent countless boring days, has now become my hometown that I can never go back to.
Just when he was feeling sad, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the garden. Pan Yue was still not ready to face other people, so she hurriedly hid in a dense flower bush deep in the garden.
"I'm warning you, if you do something like this again next time, I won't be able to get around you!"
The first thing Pan Yue heard was Fang Yang's voice.
At this time, Fang Yang changed his usual calmness and lowered his voice to make a sound that was almost a roar.
Pan Yue suddenly realized that he had come at the wrong time, and was about to walk out of the flowers to apologize to Fang Yang, when another hoarse voice made him tremble all over, and he could no longer move even half a step away.
"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. Since you can't bear to do this, I can only take action."
Hua Tianming.
Pan Yue felt uncomfortable whenever he heard this voice now, and Hua Tianming's next words made him have to listen carefully.
"The stars are about to reach the correct position. Do you want them to go back to die with their pitiful power of nature? We all know that the world more than 20 years ago was much more dangerous than it is now."
As the footsteps got closer, Pan Yue saw Hua Tianming's sick face through the flowers, and Fang Yang's face turned red with anger. Besides the two of them, Zhao Quxie was also close to him.
He stood next to Fang Yang and glared at Hua Tianming.
At this moment, Hua Tianming's eyes stayed for a few seconds in the flowers where Pan Yue was hiding. He was so frightened that he quickly buried his head in the shadows. He didn't dare to raise his head slowly until he heard Hua Tianming speak again.
"General Fang, I care about the safety of the Holy Son as much as you do. No matter what my methods are, it must be for his good."
Fang Yang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and it seemed that it was difficult to refute for a moment. Instead, Zhao Quxie took a few steps towards Hua Tianming with sad and angry eyes.
"Hua Tianming, is this your method of manipulating others like chess pieces? What about Captain Han and those team members? Do they deserve to be sacrificed by you?"
"That's right. For the day of judgment, I don't mind sacrificing anyone, including you, including Fang Yang, including myself, and even the Holy Son if necessary."
When Hua Tianming said this, his tone was as calm as ever, as if the three of them were discussing just a trivial daily matter.
That kind of disregard for life made Pan Yue even more creepy, and at the same time completely angered Zhao Quxie.
"Cultist, you must die a good death!"
A sharp wind blade flew out from Zhao Quxie's fingertips. Hua Tianming faced his provocation without changing his expression. He just raised his eyebrows slightly. Finally, the wind blade stopped in front of Hua Tianming, blowing his curly hair towards him.
Then fly.
"Haha, Xiao Zhao, if you slander the sect founded by his father like this, his spirit in heaven will be very sad."
What!
Pan Yue's eyes widened in shock at the sudden news. Could it be that Zhao Quxie is the son of Uncle Zhao Qingquan and Aunt Yang Rou?
Hua Tianming sneered in front of Zhao Quxie, who was choked and speechless, and leaned in front of him and continued to say in a sinister tone: "To be honest, after being the substitute savior for so many years, what will you do when the Holy Son really shows up?"
Let’s live with disappointment and jealousy, right?”
"enough!"
Fang Yang saw Zhao Quxie's emotions gradually getting out of control, and he shouted angrily and protected him behind him.
"Hua Tianming, if you have the energy, you should save it to deal with those crazy people at Peace Dove tomorrow."
"Haha, of course. General Fang, you have to remember that he is our enemy."
"get out."
"General Fang won't you send me off?"
The muscles on Fang Yang's face twitched, but in the end he whispered a few words to Zhao Quxie and led Hua Tianming out of the garden.
This secret conversation made Pan Yue vaguely understand something, but it also gave rise to more doubts. He held his head and tried to piece together these fragments into a complete message.
"Come out, we have seen you a long time ago."
Zhao Quxie looked at the flowers with a helpless smile, his mood seemed to have returned to stability.
"...."
Pan Yue's face suddenly turned red and she walked out of the flowers in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry...I really didn't mean it at the beginning..."
"It's us who should be sorry. Some things are really difficult to explain to you for a while."
Pan Yue thought of what Hua Tianming had just said to Zhao Quxie, and roughly guessed the reason why his name appeared on the manuscript in the basement. An awkward atmosphere filled the two of them.
"Ahem... you should go to bed early. People from Peace Dove are coming tomorrow. If you don't mind, General Fang hopes that you will be there too."
"Ah? Okay, no problem. Is Hua Tianming also..."
"Um."
"...."
"I hate him as much as you do, but we really need to cooperate with him at the moment. General Fang will tell you the specific reasons later."
"..."
The two were awkwardly silent for a while, then nodded to each other and left the garden one after another.
Peace Dove, Pan Yue once heard that this organization is mainly engaged in business. Although it has a large number of people, most of its members only master some of the most superficial powers of nature and are extremely resistant to black magic. However, Fang Yang and Hua Tianming seem to take them seriously.
Pan Yue lay back on the bed, but her thoughts were even more confused than before.
He knew that he was destined to have sleepless nights tonight. This chapter has been completed!
