Eat marrow and taste

On the second day after Ye Ze returned home, news from the front line came again.After the Bakatas and Kernas withdrew from part of the battlefield, they stopped provoking disputes. The two alliances were in a delicately balanced relationship, and everything seemed to have calmed down.

A few days later, Ye Ze went out.

Following the address in his hand, he found No. 13, Roland No.108 Street.

The wooden door in front of it is obviously old. This place is very close to Roland's suburbs, and most of the people living here are poor people.

When Ye Ze stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, the wooden door opened half a minute later with a creak, and a thin Omega stood inside the door, with unfaded sadness in his eyes, this emotion was obviously already in him. It stayed on the body for a long time.Seeing Ye Ze, he showed a somewhat puzzled expression, and asked softly, "Who are you looking for, Mister?"

Ye Ze's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he tightly squeezed the hand with the address on it, and then he heard his normal voice: "Excuse me, is your name Ian?"

Omega on the opposite side froze for a moment, then nodded: "I am."

Ye Ze nodded, and said in a somewhat difficult voice: "My name is Ye Ze, and I am Rosh's friend."

Ian was stunned, his eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, he let go of his hand, and made a welcome gesture: "Please come in and sit for a while."

"Thank you in advance." Ye Ze nodded to him politely, and then walked into the room led by Ian.

The corridor was very narrow, and the light became brighter after a while.

Ian gestured cautiously to Ye Ze to sit on the sofa: "Please sit there, let me make tea for you, or do you want to drink some wine?"

Ye Ze shook his head, waved his hands and said, "No need, just a glass of water."

"Ok."

Ian walked to the home robot, took a glass of water from its hand, and put the glass in front of Ye Ze with a smile so shallow that it was almost invisible.

"Please enjoy."

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength after saying this, and sat quietly on the sofa beside him without speaking.Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely stagnant.

After drinking a glass of water, Ye Ze explained the purpose of his visit.

He took out a round box from his arms, which was something that Rosh carried with him, and it was left behind when he was packing up his belongings.

When Ian saw the round box, his whole body trembled, and he covered his face and burst into tears.

Ye Ze put the round box in his hand solemnly, patted his back with the same sadness, and said in a low voice: "That was his choice, I don't think Rosh will regret it either. I hope you are not too sad."

After he finished speaking, he felt that such comfort was very pale, and added: "No matter what, he loves you. When we were still fighting together, he always mentioned you to me. He said, you are a very A gentle person, if possible, he also hopes that there will be no war, and he can always be by your side. Although such a wish has not been fulfilled, he is still a hero."

After sobbing for a long time, Ian slowly stopped his tears.

He gently wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue, and said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now, I'm really sorry."

Ye Ze shook his head: "No, you should be sad."

Ian stared blankly at the round box on the table, and murmured: "This is my engagement gift to him. We just got engaged, and he went to the battlefield the next day. He said he would collect the Hear my voice."

The last sentence, Ian said very softly, he leaned over, solemnly held the things on the table in his palm, then turned his head, looked at Ye Ze seriously, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Ye Ze, you are a good man , may your family be safe and healthy."

He stood up and said softly, "Would you like to take a look at the place where my fiancé used to live?"

As a friend, Ian thought, maybe Ye Ze came here with the same idea.

Ye Ze nodded to him, stood up, and walked into the inner room under Ian's leadership.

Ian calmly introduced the traces of Rosh's life here to Ye Ze.

He pointed to something hanging on the wall, and his voice was a little soft: "He used to like to play the harp, but there was only one piece of music he played the most, and it was also the one he played when he proposed to me."

"What song is it?" Ye Ze asked sideways.

Ian showed a very faint smile: "National anthem."

Ye Ze also smiled slightly, and the two continued to walk in.

Through Ian's introduction with a nostalgic tone, Ye Ze seemed to see another Rosh through these old things, not the one covered in blood, nor the heroic one who died for his country, but a gentle Rosh who loves life Varied.This is strange, but Ye Ze has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if all people who have not stood on the battlefield should be like this.

When he left, Ian thanked him again, and Ye Ze shook his head: "This is what I should do."

Ian gave him a big smile too, and said goodbye.

Ye Ze walked along Roland No.13 Street, surrounded by ordinary residents of Heramo who were busy.His bone marrow had been infested with too much gunpowder smoke and blood in the past few months, and now that he had returned to such tranquility, he felt somewhat dazed and unreal for a while.

Half an hour later, he returned home.This trip seemed to have consumed too much of his mental energy, and he fell asleep on the bed quickly.

It was already night when he woke up again, Ye Ze got up, went downstairs to eat, then went outside for a walk, and when he came back, he received a message from Bai Yuan.

[Are you still used to it at home? 】

Ye Ze looked at this sentence for a long time, and then slightly raised the corner of his mouth.After he installed a program on the communicator, the editing time of the message could be displayed.

It took a total of 15 minutes for Bai Yuan to edit this message.

Ye Ze could even imagine the way the man was hesitating at the screen, deleting, erasing, and amending, but he only sent a few short words, and he felt a little helpless in his heart.

He replied—

[Well, it's okay.The war is over, where will the instructors stay? 】

This time, Bai Yuan responded quickly.

[After a while, I will go back to Steer, and we may be able to meet at that time. 】

Ye Ze was about to type, but there was a knock on the door outside the room, followed by Ye Lan's voice: "Ah Ze, come out."

Not knowing what happened, Ye Ze temporarily put down the communicator in his hand, got up and walked out.

"That Omega committed suicide." Ye Lan glanced at him with deep eyes, "It's the one you visited today, the police will come later, and I need you to cooperate with the interrogation to answer some questions, don't be nervous, tell them what you know Even, don't lie."

Ye Lan reminded him patiently, but Ye Ze's thoughts froze at that moment.

Suicide, his first reaction was impossible!

They just met each other in the morning. Although he was sad at that time, the expression on his face when showing him around was extremely gentle. Even when they parted, the smile on Ian's face was as bright as the sun.

But when he recalled that smile again in his mind, Ye Ze only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and the blood all over his body was frozen.

He realized belatedly that there was a hint of determination in that smile that he couldn't detect at the time, and it also contained a kind of relief.

10 minutes later, the police came.

When they inquired, they were calm. Rosh was not an important person, and so was Ian. There were many cases of suicide due to the death of relatives and lovers. Ian even asked the family robot to leave a message, explaining The reason for the suicide, the monitor on Roland No.13 Street also told the police that Ian's suicide had nothing to do with Ye Ze.

Before leaving, the police patted Ye Ze on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. In fact, you delayed his suicide. In fact, when you went to the deceased's house, he was preparing to commit suicide. He was very grateful to you in the recording. Please don't worry about it."

Ye Ze's face was pale, and he nodded inaudibly. When Ye Lan sent the police officers out, Ye Ze returned to his room, and when he sat on the soft bed, his mind was still blank, and even the opposite wall was blank. It seemed to be full of a sense of oppression, so that he didn't dare to look any more, and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

After a long period of thought stagnation, Ye Ze thought that before leaving Steer, he had assisted the police in killing a criminal in the winery.

Ye Ze still remembered the suspect's name, his name was Dong Cheng, he originally had a handsome and sunny face according to the information, but after suffering a lot of pain, Dong Cheng's psychology became distorted, which eventually led to his tragedy.

Ian and Dong Cheng are the same, their loved ones died in the war, and their final endings are sad, the only difference is that the former only chose to hurt himself.

Ye Ze's scalp was numb, and he didn't fall asleep until late at night.

He suffered from insomnia in the gentle and quiet night, many fragments filled his brain, making it impossible for his nerves to relax, and he could not fall asleep as quickly as usual.

The skin rubbed against the warm quilt, gradually accumulating hotness, the hotness penetrated into his heart through the skin, and made him turn over constantly.

He tossed and turned, finally got up from the bed, when the wall lamp was turned on, Dong Cheng's distorted and ferocious face appeared in front of his eyes.

The opponent was holding a gun in his hand, but he was not pointing at others, but at his own temple.

He raised his head and laughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "You understand my pain now, I will not suffer alone, there are too many people like me on this planet, if death is a relief, then alright."

Ye Ze shook his head, but it was Ian's face that appeared in front of his eyes.

He stood on a high place, the wind blew his hair, and the bright light made the young man's gentle face look more like an angel.But in the next second, the angel's face was covered with tears of despair.He thanked Ye Ze with his lips, and then jumped into the abyss.

It took a long time before Ye Ze got rid of this illusion.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his breathing became short of breath.Ye Ze gently closed his eyes, letting his heartbeat calm down a little.

Turning his head, he picked up the communicator placed aside, looked at the text message that Bai Yuan had sent to him before, stared at it for a long time, finally typed a line, and clicked send.

It was still daytime on the planet where Bai Yuan was located, and he had just finished contacting the Supreme Marshal of the Alliance, Yuss, and was going to complete the H-12 Corps command exchange ceremony the next day.

He returned to his room a little tired, and when he saw the message prompt at the bottom of the communicator screen, he walked over to have a look.

I guessed right, it was a text message from Ye Ze.

[Instructor, what is the meaning of war? 】
