autumn sunshine

The departure itinerary was scheduled for the afternoon of the same day, and the direct airship of the Hunter Association was sent directly to the periphery of NGL. NGL is a place where all electronic and modern items are prohibited, and all food and clothing are not allowed to be brought into the territory of NGL.There will be very strict checks before entering.

The master master is the main force of this operation; Nobu's ability is very mobile, very suitable for investigation and infiltration; Mo Laowu

, Xiuto, take cool killing, in addition to looking for Kate, also shoulder part of the work of cleaning up ants, Pam and I also have a very clear job, whether it is Kate whose life or death is uncertain, or Xiaojie who is unconscious. A doctor with quick first aid, and Pam's ability to quickly find people in times of crisis.

The task is very clear, so everyone starts their work quickly when they arrive at the destination.

However, it was also the day when I arrived at the periphery of NGL, and it was the first time I formally met Qi Ya in more than a year.There are no pictures of touching and hugging, nor any words of innocence and warmth.It can be said that since knowing about Xiao Jie, these emotions have been completely exiled.

Hastily nodded with Qiya, and said goodbye to the master master, and Pam and I rushed behind Qiya to where Xiaojie is now.

The hotel is very quiet, Qi Ya should have chosen a quieter floor on purpose.The moment I opened the door, I saw Xiaojie. He was lying quietly on the bed. The evening sun shone in through the tulle. It was obviously a peaceful and peaceful picture, but I felt a deep fear.Tears flowed down without disappointment. How did this child manage to make himself look like this.

He ran over in a hurry, his right hand had spontaneously started to use his mind ability, a faint warm light gathered from his hand, and then slowly wrapped Xiaojie's body, fortunately the injury was not serious, the light on Xiaojie's body faded after a while, The last sphere of light did not enter his body.

I withdrew my hand and waited for Xiaojie to wake up.At this time, I was distracted and glanced at Qi Ya, and then turned back silently.After more than a year of blankness, I don't know how to communicate with him. What's more, it seems that the person in front of me is no longer the wayward boy back then, he has grown into a teenager.

There is already too much estrangement between us.

Pam didn't know where he went.The room has been very quiet, until Xiaojie wakes up, I won't let go of my mind.

Time passed little by little, and this silence became embarrassing for too long.I thought maybe I should say something, anything is fine, even if the other party doesn't respond, at least I have already worked hard on my own initiative.So, he moved his dry mouth, and when he was about to say something, Qi Ya's voice sounded.

It was the clean and refreshing voice unique to teenagers. It didn't become weird and ugly due to development, but it made people feel crisp and hearty.It's just that if the content of the opening is not so heavy, I might look forward to it more.

Qi Ya: "Sorry, I failed to protect Xiaojie well."

I moved my mouth, not knowing how to answer his words.He didn't seem to want me to continue, he just talked about their time in NGL.

"...Also, Migar, I don't hate you."

I was watching Xiaojie's situation while listening to Qi Ya's words. I didn't know that Qi Ya was such a talkative person. This time was very abnormal, and because I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, I don't know how to communicate.When I was extremely entangled, Qi Ya's sudden words shocked me.

I thought about it, maybe he still remembers that strange kiss that year.

So, after Qi Ya finished speaking, during a brief pause, I raised my head and forgot about the past, and found that he was staring straight in my direction with wide-open eyes.

Me: "I don't think Qi Ya hates me."

After thinking about it, I still said something like this against the law.For a moment, disappointment and annoyance appeared in Qi Ya's eyes, as well as some other things.It's just that these flashed by, so fast that I didn't have time to observe carefully.

The conversation didn't last, for good reason, because Young-jae woke up.

Xiaojie's waking up made me have no other attention to pay attention to other things.After carefully observing Xiaojie's situation and finding that there was no problem, I sat down again, and this time I was the one who asked. I still want to confirm with Xiaojie.

Me: "Xiaojie, the Chimera Ant business has been taken over by President Nitro, you can go back after a long rest."

Xiaojie: "...I won't go back, Miguel. I'm going to find Kate."

I knew that you wouldn't go back, so when I asked, I didn't intend to get the answer I wanted at all, "It's okay if you don't go back, first heal your injuries, and then strengthen your ability. If you still have this ability, you can only Stay with me on the perimeter as support staff."

Xiaojie: "...Migal? I thought you agreed. Won't you stop me?"

I sighed, reached out and touched Xiaojie's head.Thinking helplessly, stop?If it is useful to prevent it, Mitt would have prevented you from applying for the hunter exam when he was in Whale Island, but both Mitt and I know that this kind of prevention is meaningless. If you have such an idea, you will always try your best to complete it.Instead of stopping you, it is more useful to encourage you to practice more and increase your strength.

"I won't stop you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. The Chimera Ant matter is very serious, and it is related to the survival of human beings. The hunters who can come here are determined to die, but you must promise me that you must protect yourself at all times. , as long as you have breath, I can save you." I smiled and said to Xiaojie, who was obviously a little better, although he was still a little melancholy.

However, no one knows that it was because of this sentence that I regretted it and wanted to go crazy soon.

I turned my head and looked at Qiya who became quieter after Xiaojie woke up, it was very strange.I looked at Xiaojie again, it seemed that something happened between these two, of course I didn't intend to ask, it's better to solve the problems between the teenagers by myself.

What makes me more concerned is Kate's situation. Xiaojie doesn't want to talk about it at all, and Qiya keeps silent.But I can roughly guess that with Xiaojie's character, he probably won't be willing to leave now, and Kate is even less likely to put the master's son in a dangerous place, so the only possibility is Qiya. This stubborn and willful boy must be In the dilemma at that time, he chose to protect Xiaojie and leave. In fact, Qiya did nothing wrong.Those who are not strong enough will only become a burden to Kate, and if they can't protect themselves, they will also implicate Kate.

However, this is a thankless endeavor.Xiaojie will definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart. The child will definitely think that he has abandoned Kate and ran away.That's why the current embarrassing atmosphere appeared between Qi Ya and Xiao Jie.

From my point of view, I am more in favor of Qi Ya's approach, do what you can, otherwise it will be a drag.

I don’t know what to say, this kind of topic is heavy and realistic, lack of strength is flawed, at the age of 14, it is already very good to have the abilities of Xiaojie and Qiya at this age, the gap between me and them is not A few sentences and a few paragraphs can describe it.No matter in terms of body or talent, I can only be regarded as above-average, and they are the ones among the thousands.It's just that the more such a child is, the more afraid of being hit.Either fall into a slump, or rise up.

"I used to be very envious of you and Qiya," I looked at Xiaojie, my voice slowly penetrated the tranquility of the room, crossed the embarrassing sky, and surrounded the three of them, "you have extraordinary talents. Even if I work hard, I can't catch up, not to mention that there is a natural physical gap between me and you, although I don't want to admit it, but it is true. My growth pace can no longer catch up with you. But I am very glad that I am the same There are many people. On this road of cultivation and becoming stronger, even if there are many difficulties, I will not feel alone. Because there are people who work hard with me, help me when I fall, comfort me when I fail, and share with me when I win..."

I paused, and continued: "Xiaojie, I really want to accompany you to become stronger and travel together, no matter how dangerous the situation is. But I know my existence, and those who are not strong will be with you , if you encounter danger, it will bring you infinite danger and bondage. Instead of doing this, I would rather give up this idea and not become any handle or burden from the beginning. However, there are very few people with extraordinary talents. On the way of growing up, it is not good to taste the loneliness alone. But... I am very happy and fortunate that you met."

I looked at Xiaojie and then back at Qiya.Finding that the two of them were listening to what I said quietly, Xiaojie seemed to have some clarity in his eyes, "Maybe you will laugh and fight along the way, and you will also argue and contradict, but friends who are friends of life and death are friends who are close to each other. confidant."

Feelings, can only say so much.However, seeing the state of the two of them, I think the previous speculation is probably the truth.Afterwards, I simply told Xiaojie to take a good rest, and left, leaving the rest of the time to the two of them.

Although it is on the periphery of the NGL, that kind of horrible creature may only be a barrier away from us, but my mood has also been temporarily relieved. At least Xiaojie has awakened, and now he is alive and kicking in special training.In fact, neither I nor the master master had already guessed that Xiaojie would not go back so obediently, so the master master had already arranged special training for Xiaojie and Qi Ya.With Bisji as the guide, Xiutuo and Na Kulu became the training partner.And the president has already gone to NGL with Mo Lao Wu and Nobu to investigate the situation.

However, the news brought back was not good news.Although Wang hadn't been born yet, it seemed that all members of the guard had appeared, and it was preliminarily determined that there were three of them.Except for the Catwoman who had an encounter with Little Jackie and the others, the other two have never met, and their abilities are unknown. In fact, even Catwoman's abilities are not very clear.Kate also has no news.

Such a result inspired Xiaojie's fighting spirit even more, and he pounced on it as if he was desperate for daily training.On the contrary is Qi Ya, his state is obviously abnormal, and his spirit seems to be in a trance.Until one day, when I was planning to find Biski, I overheard her conversation with Qi Ya.

"...you will betray Xiaojie one day! If you can't win, you have to leave him!"

Betrayed Xiaojie?It's impossible for this kind of thing to happen, Biski, what does this mean.I quietly hid in the darkness, thinking wildly.

Biski: "Come out, Migal."

Hearing Bisji's voice, I came back to my senses, walked out of the shadows, entered the room and found that Qi Ya had left at some point, only Bisji was still there.

Biski: "Have you heard everything?"

Me: "Only one thing. However, I don't think it's possible for Qi Ya to betray Xiaojie."

Biski: "Migar, are you blinded by strange emotions?"

Biski didn't say it clearly, but I understood it all at once.Maybe I thought I hid my emotions very well, but when facing an old man like Bisaki, those concealments became a cover.My different feelings towards Qi Ya have already been completely wiped out by her peeping.My face froze for a moment, besides the embarrassment of being discovered, I was also a little overwhelmed.

Biski: "Migal, I don't want to say anything. Just don't forget that Kiya's surname is beat enemy. Professional killers are very principled, but most of the time they are too principled, and they will appear impersonal.

Me: "But... Qi Ya..."

Bisji: "He is more like a beater than anyone else. Don't forget that he is the chosen head of the beater's family."

I closed my opened mouth and swallowed the words that were about to come out, but none of these could suppress the bitterness in my heart.Maybe I was really blinded by emotion, since I forgot that Qi Ya is behind a whole group of enemies.It's like the ancient emperors. After ascending to the throne, no matter how good the relationship was before, they were still a little bit involuntary and couldn't do it, and they were afraid that in the long run, what they couldn't do would become what they should do.That's the sad ending I don't want to see...

After I told Bisji about the news from Master General, I left.
