Road to Peace

"Sincerity?" Yang Shen turned around and saw a nervous young man with black hair and yellow skin, obviously Oriental, but not Chinese.

The young man looked full of desolation and decadence, with a slightly stooped body, he was obviously very young, but he gave the impression of an old man in his dying years.

After being called by his name, he looked even more panicked, shivering like a dead leaf blown by the wind, with a look of hesitation and fear in his eyes.

He shouted hysterically: "You, how do you know my name! Who are you? An envoy of the Merman? You are clearly a human!"

Not only is he a human being, he even has the exact same name as... his former friend.

But they are completely different.

Just when he was flustered and didn't know why he ran out out of nowhere to stop this person just now, the man with emerald eyes suddenly smiled.

"Didn't you call my name, Cheng?" A gentle voice, a distant yet familiar feeling.

A trace of doubt flashed in Cheng's eyes. Although they were trapped at the bottom of the sea in the past, they could not wait for hope, but he was not as nervous and timid as he is now.

It wasn't until his friend insisted on leaving and there was no more news, and he didn't know where he was buried in the deep sea storm, that his temper became more and more weird.

However, just now, when this completely unfamiliar human being in front of him smiled and talked to him, for a moment he felt that Yang Shen had returned.

That's right, this person with emerald green eyes is also called Yang Shen.

He trembled all over, glared at the person opposite him with a pale face, turned around and was about to run away, when he suddenly remembered something, his face froze.

"No! I, I have seen you, the newcomer that Babu brought to the rally that day, the newcomer who said that the guide was Yang Shen, it was you, right, who are you!"

That encounter didn't last long, but because the light in the cave where the human slaves met secretly was better than nothing, and the newcomer kept his head down almost all the time, people didn't recognize him for a while.

"No wonder... no wonder, during the ceremony... when you and the Shark King came out in the cabin...we felt familiar."

"Bubba and I thought it was because you had the same name as—— it reminded us of him, so you've been in it for a long time!"

The oriental man named Cheng was probably really a little neurotic and crazy. The fear just now turned into gnashing of teeth and tyranny. He rushed forward and grabbed Yang Shen by the collar.

"Speak! Why did you sneak into our secret meeting! You betrayed us? Tell those mermaids about us?! That's why that Lanhuang married you, isn't it? This is your bargaining chip? You know Yang Shen? Why do you say him? It's your guide!"

A series of questions were thrown at him, and Yang Shen was forced to raise his neck and look at this crazy man sadly.

The last time we met at a secret meeting, Cheng had already become suspicious. Now he... he still didn't think enough. If he had told the truth directly, wouldn't his friend have become like this?

"He won't believe it." Seins' voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "Master, your disappearance is just the fuse. If you didn't escape to Utopia at that time, you might end up like this in the end."

Yang Shen shook his head, Cheng was shorter than himself, and the action of him grabbing Yang Shen's collar was not much of a threat, he felt uncomfortable, which had nothing to do with physical reasons.

Reaching out to cover Cheng's hands, the person opposite was still muttering, "Why...why..."

"Sincerity." Yang Shen softened his voice, probably because Yang Seer hadn't grown up before, and the voice of this body originally had the unique shrill voice of a young man.

But now, it has become more and more like Yang Shen's own voice, gentle but not sharp, without that kind of cowardice.

"I didn't betray you, trust me."

"Why should I believe it. You admitted it! You really are the newcomer who sneaked in that day. What are you so worried about?!"

Yang Shen broke off Cheng's hands on the collar, "Listen to me, Cheng, would the Lan Huang marry me just because I told him that there was a secret gathering of human beings under the sea? Is he this kind of person?"

"No, of course not, he doesn't like anyone... No, no... If he knew, why didn't he eat us?" Cheng's face became more confused and chaotic.

Yang Shen put his hand down and stroked his messy hair, "Cheng, be sober, sharks don't eat people."

Cheng suddenly let out a shrill laugh, "Don't eat people? Don't be kidding, they clearly—"

"have you seen?"

"I, I don't seem to have it." He seemed to wake up a little bit, and finally realized who he was talking to, his face became even uglier, and he was panting violently.

"You speak for the Merman everywhere! Yes, you have been confused, you are a traitor!"

Seins' voice sounded in Yang Shen's mind again, "Master, his mental waves are very chaotic. According to you, he is already crazy."

"No." Yang Shen looked deeply at the friend he used to be most familiar with, "He just wants to protect himself and use the way of evasion."

Those people in the secret meeting, they desire, they look forward to, they wait, but they dare not do anything, they are all using evasive methods to protect themselves.

Even if you tell them the truth of the end of the year, the truth of the war, the upside-down black and white, the situation of the mermaids, some humans and Auston's ambitions, they will not believe it.

It is impossible for them to accept such a truth after being ignorant for so long, and Cheng will not be the only one who will collapse by then.

But there's no way he'd let these people stay here waiting for some false savior to show up, because there never was.

Thinking of this, Yang Shen slowly made up his mind.

"Let go of me, you traitor, how dare you use Yang Shen's name, you can't use it!" Cheng struggled.

Yang Shen felt that there were countless veiled and probing eyes falling on him from all around. It was those people hiding in the room, watching this scene.

They were looking at Cheng and him, all hesitating, not daring to go forward.

Yang Shen sighed lightly, "Cheng, haven't you recognized who I am?"

"You are a traitor!"

"Is the pot of green algae in the room still alive? Last time you said that you would give the piece of silk gauze you picked up to Lilia to make a skirt for her daughter. Is the skirt ready? And I secretly wrote Those feelings hidden in the moonstone box—"

As if thinking of something, Yang Shen paused slightly, intending to ignore this matter.

On the opposite side, Cheng opened his mouth even more like a fool, and looked at the obviously strange man with disbelieving eyes, but his sanity was obviously much clearer.

"Yang Shen said that the things in the moonstone box are love letters to the person he has a crush on. Why do you know? There is also a silk gauze for Lilia. The only thing I picked up the gauze was Yang Shen alone knows that you——you—”

Yang Shen bent the corner of his mouth, and called him again, "Cheng."

He didn't know if it was due to psychological factors, but he felt that this green-eyed foreign boy vaguely overlapped with Yang Shen back then, and there was no obvious, obvious resemblance at all.

No, the smile is very similar, and the tone of speech is also similar.

Yang Shen raised his head, looked around, and raised his voice, "Bub, do you still have sea anemone seeds in your pocket?"

"Grove, have you borrowed my three pearls and successfully proposed to Tony?"

More and more people came out from the shadows of the houses, just like Cheng Yong, looking at each other with disbelief, their bodies trembling, and their voices trembling.

"Impossible, impossible, Yang Shen is obviously dead."

"But……"

"I'm back." Yang Shen stretched out his arms, waiting.

Facing all doubts and suspicious eyes.

After a long time, the straightforward Babu took the lead and strode forward, punching him on the shoulder, "Hey you boy!"

Then he gave him a big hug again, "What the hell is it? Although it has changed a little, it can still be seen in many places. Welcome home."

Come back home.

Indeed, these people spent the first half of his life growing up, taking care of him and accompanying him after his parents passed away.

Home is not a place, but just this emotion.

Who in the crowd wiped away the tears first, and soon there was a burst of sobbing, and even Yang Shen's eyes were red.

Farther away, there are humans who don't know Yang Shen, watching all this suspiciously.

"Who are those love letters in the moonstone box written to?" Cheng wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and when he opened them again, his sanity was much clearer.

Yang Shen choked when he was asked.

"You...how did you become like this, became the person chosen by God Li Ling again, and even held a ceremony with the Shaman Emperor?"

After the emotional catharsis, the people who calmed down began to ask their own questions one by one.

"Can we ever go back to land?"

Yang Shen signaled everyone to be safe and calm, looked around, and found that there were not many open places where all human beings could gather.

Moreover, these people are extremely insecure. If they don't have a safe and private place in the shark's territory, they probably don't want to get together.

After all, not everyone knew him, and not everyone believed him. After thinking about it, he asked Saines to release the Shatang.

The fiery red building boat appeared in front of everyone in an instant, arousing high and low exclamation. Yang Shen looked at everyone, "I have something to tell everyone, and those who are willing to listen can come on board."

"It's safe inside."

Cheng glanced at Yang Shen, he was still not used to associating this strange face with his former friend, but he just hesitated for a moment, and got on the boat first.

Babu followed closely behind, and then, people who knew Yang Shen also walked to the boat one after another.

In the end, those who didn't know Yang Shen and still had expressions of fear and panic on their faces gradually approached tentatively.

Among these people, not everyone is suitable to fight with him, but everyone wants to return to the sun.
