implication [end times]

"A man will not like pain for no reason. Unless the pain can divert attention, or make him feel that it is atonement and confession. Then he will regard pain as enjoyment, and look forward to pain and even death."

Round glasses looked at He Rongsheng who was standing upside down against the wall for a quarter of an hour and refused to come down, and explained to Ran Yu.

Yuan Xi's name was Yuan Xi, and he lived next to Ran Yu and He Rongsheng's dormitory. After the exam was completely over the next day, he rushed over to check the answers.Before coming to Ran Yu's dormitory, he had visited more than a dozen dormitories, and compiled a very detailed and comprehensive answer.

The second day of the city entrance exam is combat class. In the morning, there are all kinds of physical fitness tests. In the afternoon, there are actual combat, group battles, and scoring according to winning rate and difficulty.Many candidates failed the one-day combat class assessment, and He Rongsheng was no exception.But instead of applying medicine to heal his wounds, he stood on his head against the wall like self-torture, dizzy and dizzy, and his head hurt like a pinprick.

Because he's a sad man who's done answering.And it was the unlucky guy who corrected a multiple-choice question 1 minute before the general education exam was handed in.

3 points for a multiple choice question.But among the nearly 3 candidates, a score of [-] is enough to exclude hundreds of people.

The results of the city entrance exam will be announced in two days. During this period, candidates are required to stay in the exam area and not to go out.After the test results come out, the top ten will be eligible to live in the city, and will be assigned to work in a public office, enjoying a special promotion channel and V point compensation.

Within a few minutes, He Rongsheng finally couldn't hold on anymore, put down his heavy body with a bang, and collapsed on the ground in large characters, expressing that he was going to rest.

Ran Yu's answer was not too different from the comprehensive answer Yuan Xi brought. If the essay questions in the Ideological and Moral class did not hold him back, he was quite confident of being selected.

Thinking of the essay question, he thought of the snatched candy.

The last toffee he was reluctant to eat.

I don’t know how long it will be until the next banana-flavored toffee.

When the incident happened suddenly, Ran Yu obediently stretched out his hand, thinking that the temporary proctor wanted to temporarily confiscate things that had nothing to do with the exam.Who would have thought that this was not confiscated.

"Confiscated" will be returned to the candidates in the end.But the inspector named Lou Yue ate the candy—in front of the original owner of the candy, he ate the candy.He even suspected that the original owner was stingy.

How brutal, how cruel, how ruthless, how immoral.

No wonder he has such a bad reputation.

No wonder Hengheng also said in the letter that he hates a person named Lou Yue the most.

Ran Yu felt sleepy after thinking about it.After a day's combat test, he was very tired, and after taking a hot bath, he was even more tired, and gradually fell into sleep.He had another very familiar dream.In the dream, he lived under the sea, sleeping in a cave in the reef, otherwise he would be easily swept away by the undercurrent or eaten by fierce predators.

The bottom of the sea is not completely dark. In fact, many bacteria, jellyfish, fish, and floating silkworms can glow.Most of the light they emit is faint blue-green, quietly illuminating a small area of ​​water around them, like night lights.

The corals and algae that are native to the ocean floor are different from those that have mutated to appear on land, where they are more at home and more at home.Those on land are more difficult, wanting to invade territories that do not belong to them.

Ran Yu was looking at the bottom of the sea, his body's sense of vigilance was suddenly full, and the water around him was surging. He subconsciously flicked his tail and swam out of the reef hole, escaping the disaster.

He was just a hair away from being swallowed by a moray eel.

That moray eel is a ferocious predator on the seabed, with a body like a snake, a wide and protruding snout, a well-developed dorsal fin, and extremely fast movements.

For some reason, this time he was not afraid, nor did he hide. Instead, he went up to meet him, erected his long thorns, and pierced the eel's back extremely quickly.The ferocious moray eel struggled a few times, its body gradually weakened, as if it had been completely defeated by the neurotoxin.

The sharp mouthparts pierced the skin of the moray eel, and a burst of fishy-sweet warmth poured into the stomach, and Ran Yu really felt the satisfaction of filling his stomach.How strange, it was clearly just a dream.He knew it clearly, and immersed himself in it with the same lucidity, as if he had lived like this, and lived at the bottom of the sea.

After eating his stomach full, Ran Yu found himself changed.He became that moray eel.As for what kind of fish he himself was, he no longer remembered.

Then, he ate a lot of weird sea creatures and turned into them.

Strictly speaking, it is not like becoming them, but like sharing their senses.For example, when looking at the same piece of coral, he can look at it from many angles at the same time, because there are his "eyes" around the coral.The eyes of those fish, shrimp and grass insects have become his eyes, and his eyes are also used by other creatures.

It's as if he has merged with all the sea creatures here, unable to find any boundaries between you and him.

When Ran Yu swam to the upper sea, he could feel the waves on the sea rising and falling.He let his body be engulfed in the current, and as he floated back and forth, he found that the ups and downs of the waves were similar to his own breathing rate.

So he became one with the sea.

He seemed to be melting in the sea. The waves were rushing forward, surging, and suddenly blocked by an iceberg.

Ran Yu was forced to stop.Probably because he was too close to the iceberg, he suddenly felt very cold.Then he heard Bingshan speak humanly: "What are you doing here?"

Ran Yu was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and found a young man in a dark green uniform standing in front of him, who looked very familiar.

At this time, they were standing near the iron railing at the outermost part of the park. The street lamps were far away, the light was dim, and there were insects chirping from time to time in the grass.The temperature dropped sharply at night, but Ran Yu was only wearing short-sleeved pajamas and flip-flops on his feet. The coldness he felt at this time was stronger than the one he felt in his dream. people.

Lou Yue's expression was very serious, but the dim light weakened his sense of sternness at this time, adding a gentle and caring atmosphere to him for no reason.He stretched out his hand, shook it in front of Ran Yu, and asked, "Are you awake? Answer the question, why did you appear here in the middle of the night? Are you going to the city defense station?"

Not far from the railing is one of the garrison points of the main city defense station, which is guarded and patrolled by heavy soldiers, and has a high degree of secrecy.

Ran Yu also wanted to know why.

He remembered that he fell asleep after taking a bath, then had a dream, and when he opened his eyes again, he stood in a strange place and was caught by the strict inspector.

Seeing Ran Yu's cold and confused look, Lou Yue's attitude softened a little: "Come and sit in the car, I'll take you back to the dormitory."

Ran Yu didn't want to get in Captain Lou's car, but he had no other choice.At first, Ran Yu couldn't tell where this place was, the exam area was huge and the roads were complicated.Secondly, approaching the city defense station alone in the middle of the night, the inspector obviously wanted to interrogate him. If he refused, the suspicion would be even greater.

The car was not far away, Lou Yue walked to the co-pilot's door, opened the door, and signaled Ran Yu to go in.

Ran Yu sat in with a generous expression, only to find that Lou Yue had a slight smile on his face, and he put down his hand blocking the frame of the car in a good mood, and walked back to the driver's seat.

Why is this man so fond of laughing.It's pretty, but scary.

After taking his seat, Lou Yue didn't drive immediately. He put on a stern and steady face again, stared at Ran Yu for a while, and said, "Be honest and be lenient."

"I don't know either," Ran Yu said honestly, "I was sleeping in the dormitory, dreaming that I turned into a sea wave, and then I was woken up by you."

Lou Yue recalled the state of meeting Ran Yu before, thought for a while, and said, "Sleepwalking?"

"Ah?" Ran Yu didn't react.

"Have you ever had this symptom before?"

"I don't know, no one told me."

Lou Yue started the car and turned lightly at intersections one after another: "Schedule your work and rest, the exam is over, and don't stay up late in the future. Sleepwalking is very dangerous, what if you encounter bad guys and monsters?"

"... Oh." Ran Yu didn't understand why the inspector who had only met him once wanted to educate him suddenly, but he couldn't refute.

After driving for three to five minutes, they arrived at the centralized dormitory area for candidates. If it was walking, it would take at least a quarter of an hour.

Ran Yu kept his head down, recalling his previous sleeping conditions, and didn't notice that the car had stopped.

After a while, a bag of candy appeared in front of him.It's the familiar packaging, a pack of banana-flavored toffee.

"Give back your sugar, don't be wronged."

Ran Yu: "...I am not wronged."

Lou Yue didn't seem to believe it, and smiled lightly: "Go to sleep, don't run around. If you run around again, I'll arrest you."

Ran Yu took the candy, got out of the car and walked into the dormitory in a daze.Walking through the long corridor, before going up the stairs, he looked back at the door of the building.The car stopped there quietly, and through the windshield, Lou Yue could be seen frowning and talking to the communicator.Sensing Ran Yu's gaze, Lou Yue raised his head and looked over, his brows seemed to stretch a bit, and he waved his hand, signaling Ran Yu to go back to sleep.

Ran Yu hugged the bag of candy tightly, and walked up the steps, suspecting that he was still sleepwalking, and hadn't woken up from the dream from the beginning to the end.

He thought, in this dream, Lou Yue didn't seem so bad.
