[Crossing] Beacon Fire Dragon Line

〖The door of the house opened, and a woman appeared in front of me.She has black hair and blue eyes, and holds a newborn baby boy in her arms. ... where a lifetime is but a moment, and everyone has his own dream of paradise.

All that was lost was found again.

——"Book of Lost Things"〗

Sheng Rui followed Xue Yuan to leap forward on the ruins, like a cat running after a fox.

In order to avoid the Soviet tanks, they had to take a detour and break through the weak German defenses.Xue Yuan picked up a Mosin-Nagant rifle, commonly known as "Water Lianzhu", and used it to clear the way for the two of them.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to reach the Spree, they encountered another obstacle: about a squad of German troops took a half-destroyed house as a stronghold, and opened fire on them with rifles.

"Tsk." Xue Yuan's patience finally ran out, his eyes suddenly turned cold.Sorry, I don't have extra time to spend with you, so I have to clean up you for the Soviet army.

He turned back to Sheng Rui and said, "Stand back a little."

Sheng Rui took two steps back.

Xue Yuan copied "Shui Lianzhu" in his right hand, and jumped out like a hunting fox. With his left hand, he slammed against the wall, his legs exerted strength, and his vigorous figure jumped up and landed on the roof.

The already crumbling half of the roof could not withstand the heavy pressure, and immediately collapsed and scattered, and the German troops hiding below fled in all directions in a panic.

But no one can dodge Xue Yuan's bullet.His dynamic vision is not inferior to that of Qi Han, even in the process of falling like this, he can still aim and accurately calculate the advance amount.When he landed firmly, the house was already full of corpses.

Part of the reason why his nickname is "Arctic Fox" comes from such a habit of attacking repeatedly.

"Go." He greeted Sheng Rui.

"..." The future of human beings seems terrible, one or two of these bastards are all humanoid weapons.

"How far are we from him?" Sheng Rui asked, anxious.

Xue Yuan glanced at the map: "It's coming soon, turn around this street corner, and you'll be by the river."

riverside?Sheng Rui's heart tightened.

He looked up, and the blood-stained Spree appeared in front of him.

They found Qi Han on the bank of the river where the corpses were strewn about.

Like the others, he was stripped naked, his body pale and naked like a broken daffodil.The fatal wound was in his left chest, with a bullet piercing his heart.He should have been killed almost instantly.

On his face, the lifeless dark green eyes were still slightly open, looking up at the gray sky above Berlin.

Sheng Rui felt his eyes go dark, and almost fell to his knees.But he suddenly remembered something, gritted his teeth and rushed forward, cupped Qi Han's face and checked his pupils.His cornea has not yet clouded, indicating that he died not long ago.

During their last long talk on the outskirts of Florence, Qi Han once said that life can repair itself, as long as there are living cells in the body when leaving this time and space, life can be restored after the leap.

After the death of the human body, some tissues and organs will still maintain life skills for a period of time, and there will be supernatural reactions.If the leap is in time, maybe there is still time to revive him.

Of course Xue Yuan also knew this.Without a moment's delay, he immediately carried Qi Han into a relatively secluded room next to him, laid him flat on the ground, and pried open his mouth with his fingers.They have all been trained: if they know they are going to die, try to swallow the important things in their stomachs and keep them out of other people's hands.

He looked into Qi Han's mouth, and said to Sheng Rui: "There is something in his throat. ——Help me hold his head."

Sheng Rui fixed Qi Han's head with both palms, and Xue Yuan inserted the index finger and middle finger of his right hand into his mouth.But the hard object was firmly stuck between Qi Han's soft palate and the root of his tongue, unable to move.He must have swallowed it before he died.

Xue Yuan ruthlessly said to Sheng Rui, "Turn your face away."

Sheng Rui understood what Xue Yuan was going to do, so he turned his face away.

Xue Yuan suddenly increased the strength of his fingers. "Click!" came to Sheng Rui's ears.He knew what happened - Qi Han's hyoid bone was broken abruptly.

A throbbing pain gripped his heart like a knife's edge.He felt a scorching and humid water vapor rising freely in his field of vision, occupying his eye sockets and flowing across his cheeks, making him unable to see everything in front of him clearly.Even though he knew that Qi Han would no longer have any consciousness, he didn't want him to be tortured again.

After a while, Xue Yuan touched his hand with something: "Is this yours?"

Sheng Rui wiped away the tears from his cheeks with the clothes on his shoulders, turned his head, and saw the coin with his name engraved lying beside him.Xue Yuan has already taken out the chip inside and is calculating the link, dragging the QLED screens all over the floor.What he has to do is to re-bind the broken "thread" to Qi Han, and let him be "dragged" back together with him by Chi Caifan.The amount of calculation is quite huge, and he concentrates on keeping his brain running at high speed, his fingers flying like flying.

Sheng Rui picked up the coin, Qi Han's body temperature was still on it.He clutched it tightly in his palm.

sorry Sorry.I've been looking for you for too long.

Why don't you wait for me this time?

He grabbed Qi Han's hand.Qi Han had just died not long ago, and his body had not yet started to stiffen.The arm that had completely lost its strength was as soft as if it was boneless, and the fingers drooped slightly along the edge of Sheng Rui's palm, as if shaking his hand back, telling him that he never hated him.

On the inner side of Qi Han's bare left arm, near the armpit, there is a black tattoo.This is the SS blood type tattoo.After the war, this became the hallmark for identifying and arresting members of the SS.Even if that piece of skin is removed, the location of the scar will tell people what was there.This is a mark of sin that cannot be washed away for a lifetime.

Qi Han has always been very clear that from the moment he got this tattoo, he lost the qualification to live in this time and space as an ordinary person.To this day, Sheng Rui doesn't know what to say about it.

He leaned over and kissed those slightly parted lips.

The first kiss was the smell of daffodils.

The second kiss is the smell of chocolate.

The last time, it was the taste of blood.

This time, it was enough for him alone to remember.He only hoped that Qi Han would remember one thing when he went back: someone loved him.May he remember this and live well.

There were sporadic gunshots in the distance.

Sheng Rui followed the sound and looked out. Another group of Soviet soldiers who were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield was coming from a few streets away. enemy.

broken.

He turned his head and asked Xue Yuan, "How long will you have?"

"About 3 minutes." Xue Yuan also saw the group of soldiers, but he couldn't move.Suspend the calculation now, and all previous efforts will be for naught.

Sheng Rui nodded: "I'll find a way to hold them back."

He picked up "Shui Lianzhu", ran up to the second floor, dismantled a chair, tied the legs of the chair into a simple tripod, placed it one meter away from the window, and put the gun barrel on it.Shooting at this distance, the muzzle flash would not reveal his position.

He holds the gun in his left hand.He didn't need to aim very precisely, he didn't want to shoot anyone, he just wanted to hold them back and buy some time for Xue Yuan.

He has a deep understanding of how much psychological pressure a sniper can bring to the opponent's soldiers.When they were on the Western Front, every platoon of them was suppressed by a sniper and dared not raise their heads.Therefore, if he is clever enough, it is entirely possible to hold this group of Soviet soldiers for a few minutes by himself.

When the group of soldiers entered a suitable distance and angle, Sheng Rui aimed at the ground in front of them and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" The bullets drilled into the ground splashed the soil.

The Soviet soldiers were used to seeing German snipers on the Eastern Front, so they didn't turn pale with fright. Instead, they quickly hid behind the bunkers and searched for the opponent's location.

Sheng Rui took the opportunity to move to another shooting point.The sniper has to change the place with one shot, otherwise he will soon expose himself.

There was a swastika flag on the wall, and he pulled it out, tore off the flag and threw it aside.The flagpole is a hollow celluloid tube more than one meter long.He found a hidden angle, took out the only remaining cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, crushed the cigarette butt, put one end of the pipe in his mouth, and the other end slightly protruded from the window a little.He fired a second shot, and at the same time slowly blew the smoke out of the pipe as if from the muzzle of a gun.Sure enough, where the smog spread, it immediately attracted a hailstorm of bullets.

Sheng Rui quickly crawled to another position, fired again, and deliberately exposed the muzzle flame.

The effect of this is that there seems to be more than one sniper in this building, making the other party confused and afraid to attack rashly.

This tactic worked for the time being, and the few Soviet soldiers who were probing their brains all shrank back.It seemed that they decided to fight a war of attrition and wait for Sheng Rui's ammunition to run out.

However, as time passed, the patience of the Soviet soldiers ran out before Sheng Rui's ammunition.

Hearing some movement outside, Sheng Rui leaned against the wall and glanced out of the window, and gasped suddenly - a "Katyusha" door came.

Although the name is very beautiful, it is not a gentle girl, but a deadly weapon.

All calculations are completed, the link is turned on, and the countdown to the transition begins for ten seconds.

Xue Yuan just breathed a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard Sheng Rui yelling from upstairs: "Get down! Bazooka!!"

Before he had time to think about anything, Xue Yuan bowed and threw himself on Qi Han.

"boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Xue Yuan desperately protected the people under him.However, he didn't bear too much impact. The target of "Katyusha" was Sheng Rui upstairs.

As soon as the shaking subsided, Sheng Rui immediately crawled out of the rubble.The roof was crumbling, and the dust from the ceiling gurgled down in strands like sand in an hourglass.

Because he was too close to the impact point, his eardrum was shattered and he lost his hearing.But he didn't care about checking the extent of his damage, he hurriedly climbed to the stairs, and looked at the place where Xue Yuan and Qi Han were.

It was empty.

Sheng Rui was startled, and then crawled closer to take a closer look to confirm that there was really no one below.Qi Han and Xue Yuan took everything they brought into this time and space, as if they never existed.

He just felt that all the strength in his body was pulled away in an instant.Unable to turn over, he kept lying on the ground in that crawling forward posture.

He knew that life was going away from him.He couldn't feel his body below the waist, but he didn't have the strength or need to look.He couldn't hear or see everything that happened outside.

In the tranquility like nirvana, he closed his eyes, feeling warm and at ease.Only at this moment, his future is certain, and nothing can hurt him anymore.

The scene of the first meeting with Qi Han a year ago suddenly came to mind at this moment, like a meaningful echo from the previous life.

Rome, February, Pantheon.

The so-called eternity is that you stand there, turn around and look back, staring at me.From then on, I searched for thousands of miles, through desolation and flames of war.

Across time and space, he answered his gaze.

If there is an afterlife, I would like to meet you again in a better world on a bright and peaceful afternoon in Rome. "There, a lifetime is but a moment, and everyone has their own dream paradise."

This time, we must have a better ending.

On May 1945, 5, Germany surrendered.

On May 5, the fighting in the European battlefield came to an end.

More than three months later, World War II ended.

☆, end

〖Time is the best author, it will always write a perfect ending. ——Chaplin〗In Rome at the end of April, the sun was shining brightly.

The Rotunda Square in front of the Pantheon is full of tourists.

Sheng Rui felt that he recovered his hearing in an instant, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bustling crowd.Just like when he traveled through the past, he didn't feel anything when he traveled back.

The sky was brilliantly blue, and the translucent clouds were crystal clear and white.No smoke, no fire, no gunshots, no bloody streets.The world is peaceful and peaceful.

It was a long time before he believed it: he was back.This is his original time and space.

This place is exactly the same as when he left, and he himself is still the same as when he left, nothing has changed.There was no scar on his body, and the broken finger was intact.The year of traveling through the flames of the Jedi on the European continent did not leave any traces on him in this time and space, just like a long daydream in the afternoon.

The only thing brought back is memory.

He reached into his pocket, where the one-euro coin was still lying quietly.He took it out and looked at the "Confederate Eagle" pattern on it.

ended.

It's really all over.

Where it all began, it all ends.

Seeing his dazed expression, a passer-by kindly asked, "Do you need help?"

He tried his best to smile at the man: “thank you, I’m fine.”

Only one person can help him.But that person is not here and does not know where.

His heart seemed to be waiting for something.

It was as if there was still someone waiting for him in the Pantheon.

[21××year]

Xue Yuan felt his brain was smoking.

Looking at the four walls of the jump cabin, he believed that he did it.He actually did it.

Qi Han, who was pressed under him, moved, opened his eyes, and asked a little confused: "Why are you here?"

Xue Yuan was completely relieved, and fell down on the ground slumped, ignoring that the two of them were stacking together in such a strange posture.

He heard the door of the jump cabin open, and someone came running in a hurry, and then Chi Caifan screamed—"Why are you riding him?!"

Before the review hearing, Xue Yuan found Qi Han.

"You must not tell about your joining the SS." He confessed, "You are already suspected of defecting privately, plus this, if you are convicted of crimes against humanity, you will be exiled in time and space for life .”

Qi Han shook his head.There was a different look in his eyes, which was both gentle and fierce.He secretly ran to check the jump records, and not long after he and Xue Yuan left that time and space, Sheng Rui also left.

"Ivan, do me a favor. This time, he has no way to come to me, so I must go to him."

Soon after, the verdict on Qi Han came down.In view of his anti-human tendency during the transition period, he will never be used, and he will be exiled in time and space for life.

For this seemingly severe punishment, only a few people understand its true meaning.

The four-dimensional coordinates of the target time and space were chosen by Qi Han himself, Rome on April 20, 4××.Because Sheng Rui said that that day, he was in the Pantheon.

Before Qi Han left, Chi Caifan rushed to see him.The realization of his wish is largely the result of Chi Caifan lobbying her father.After hearing Xue Yuan explain the ins and outs of the matter, she decided to help him at all costs.

"Hans, I wish you happiness." She wished sincerely, and hugged him tightly.She imagined the appearance of that lucky one, a little jealous, more joyful.That person is braver than her, so that person deserves the happiness that she didn't get.

She looked up into his face.This handsome face has been engraved in her mind, and it will still come to mind when she dreams back at midnight in the future.It's just that their lives will never intersect again.

Goodbye, my first love.

This time also, it was Xue Yuan who sent Qi Han away.

Before the door of the jump cabin closed, he called him: "Hey, Hans." He hadn't called him that way for a long time, and there was a kind of friendly strangeness for a while. "Say hi to that guy when you see him. I kind of like him."

"it is good."

"Take care. If I can get to know you again, I will go to your classroom to find you." He made a gesture of tapping his finger on the table, "Let's go have dinner together at noon."

The door closed before his eyes.

Xue Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and silently recited a poem by Yesenin——

Верю, верю, счастьеесть. (I believe, I believe in happiness.)

[April 20, 4××]

Rome, February, Pantheon.

Almost at the first glance, Qi Han saw the handsome figure standing in front of the obelisk.

Although separated by a sea of ​​people, even though he was dressed differently, he could recognize him at a glance.Such an alluring beauty, as long as you have seen it once, you will remember it for a lifetime.He approached that figure, so close that he could smell the faint fragrance of peonies on his body.

He knew that everything, everything he had lost, was found back at this moment.Time, the great author, finally wrote the most perfect ending for you and me.

Just let me hug you tightly when everything has not yet started, when everything is still too late.
