Chapter 173 Now is the time to shatter illusions!
Chapter 173 It’s time for fantasy to be shattered!
The atmosphere seemed to solidify all of a sudden. Even though there were ten thousand questions in Yin Chengyi's heart, he still held it back and did not speak. As a child who grew up in a single-parent family, he especially understood this psychology - it was as if he was being questioned by others.
When I say something about my mother, such as "Your mother must be like this," there will always be an unexplainable tingling feeling, as if the heart has been pricked by an invisible thorn. For children like them, parents
It's not an easy topic to touch on, so it's better not to ask.
Of course, if it was the squad leader who took the initiative to speak, that would be a different matter.
"My dad... used to be a high school chemistry teacher, but he not only knew chemistry, he was also very good at other subjects. But he didn't teach us much about homework. He usually waited until my grades dropped by more than ten places before he gave me some lessons.
Give me some tutoring. Every time he finishes teaching, my grades are like a rocket, jumping to the top ten in the class. I like that very much - with such good grades, I want to learn musical instruments and dance.
, Mom won’t object.”
"Everyone thought it was incredible. In fact, my father just flipped through the book and told me in his own language what was going to be said in class later. He has a very magical talent, and he can always explain a lot of things to me in his own language.
Complex things should be explained clearly in the simplest terms. Whether it is physics, chemistry, or even the most abstract mathematics... he has his own understanding. Believe it or not, even if you ask him to build a rocket now, he will do it.
Can you tell me something of your own and do it eloquently?"
Speaking of my father, the usually vigorous and resolute squad leader suddenly seemed five years younger and turned into a carefree little girl, needless to say how sweet her smile was.
In addition to the novelty, Yin Chengyi felt a hint of heartache in his heart.
Father, for any growing girl, is an unobtainable role.
In a similar situation, she still had Big Insect and Little Spirit, but she... only had one sister who needed her to take care of her. If something happened, she wouldn't even have anyone to discuss it with.
…
"I remember very clearly that in the month after I passed the high school entrance examination and was preparing to compete in the provincial youth dance competition, my father, as an 'excellent teacher' at the municipal level, was going to a small country in Eastern Europe to exchange and learn with the teachers there.
There are more than ten teachers in the group, and he is the youngest."
"At that time, I thought that I must practice hard and wait until my father comes back from Eastern Europe to show him the first prize and give him a surprise... But..."
The smile on her face gradually solidified, her eyebrows furrowed, and her voice swirled in her throat, "After he went there, for some reason, the superpowers in that small country suddenly launched a riot. Overnight, the regime changed and the country was divided.
It became a war zone. Visiting teachers like them were not spared... At first, there were sporadic news. Later, this small country suddenly became a hell on earth, as if it had disappeared from the world, and there was no trace of it anymore.
News.”
"My dad...has been staying there for almost three years because of this incident..."
…
small country.
Riots of superpowers.
Everything sounded so familiar, and in Xutian Palace, Cui Yu indeed said so. At that time, Yin Cheng had heard it and didn't take it too seriously. But he never thought that the drastic changes in the world would actually happen.
So close to myself.
"[Raptor]."
"……What?"
"It is said that the worldwide ability user mercenary organizations have always targeted small countries with insufficient armed forces. They guide the ability users there to launch coups, establish a regime belonging to superpowers, and then reap the benefits.
profit and make a lot of war fortune." Yin Chengyi said softly, "Squad leader, the country your father visited...may be they are the ones behind it."
"..."
"Monitor?"
————
The mountain wind blew by, and the unusual warmth made her feel dizzy, unable to tell the difference between east, west and north. In this half-dream state, Zhao Yichen sneezed and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.
Under a gloomy tree.
Even though she was far away, she still recognized this face at a glance, and immediately stopped in her tracks. On her usually dignified face, there was a funny expression of extreme astonishment, and her mouth was opened wide enough to fit a whole egg.
"Are you okay?"
Looking along her line of sight, Yin Chengyi saw nothing, only the cold wind blowing on the leaves, making the few sparse stars in the night sky even colder.
Looking at the squad leader's appearance, his whole body was tense, his eyes were straight, and his hair was standing on end, as if he was completely separated from the people around him by a whole world. As soon as this symptom appeared, Yin Chengyi immediately realized that something was wrong, and he and
Lin Yimiao and Li Shupei were almost carved out of the same mold when they were first attacked. He quickly grabbed her shoulders with both hands, shook her hard, and shouted her name loudly.
No reaction at all.
Zhao Yichen's eyes were empty, as if his soul had been taken away.
…
"dad……"
A line of clear tears subconsciously welled up from her eyes and slid down the side of her face. It was rare for a girl who was usually very strong to show her fragile side, and she looked particularly moving.
In her field of vision, her father was still the same as before, with a steady side-parted hairstyle, a clean black suit, a white shirt, meticulously polished leather shoes, and a black handbag in his hand, just like before
What he looked like when he walked out of school.
At that moment, my heart almost stopped beating, and the good-smelling air broke through my brain and the last bit of my sanity.
The girl broke away from Yin Chengyi's hand, stumbled, and ran towards her father.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Four steps.
…
When she reached the fifth step, the girl, who still had tears in her eyes, suddenly stopped and stared at her father in the distance.
The unwillingness and pain melted into tears, which she wiped away resolutely.
"You are fake."
As soon as these four words were spoken, the father under the tree became blurry, like the snowflake screen that often appeared on old TVs when the connection was poor.
"Zizzizi..."
There was a strange stabbing sound, and the father's face was like a white candle that had been burning for a long time, melting bit by bit, the blood and flesh mixed with the marrow of the tragic failure, peeling off his face bit by bit. The monitor revealed the face inside without using any words.
Describe it, because it is not a face at all, but a mass of darkness, like oil, but more viscous than that. Countless slender black tentacles are squirming in the darkness, resonating, and blending evil words into the wind.
"Real, false...is that important?"
"Obey your heart, obey your wishes...dedicate your whole body and mind, and [Black Tai Sui] will naturally give you the same happiness in return."
The darkness opened up, gradually submerging the surrounding scenery. In such darkness, orange light was emitting directly in front.
That's candlelight.
Under the shadow of the lamp, I, my mother, and my father... were all there, celebrating my sister's birthday. Under their gaze, my sister smiled happily, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and seemed to be making some wish.
"call……"
When the candle is blown out, the only source of light disappears.
…
"There is no truth or falsehood in this world." The voice that was half like his father and half like someone else sounded again, as if whispering in his ear, "Seeing is true, hearing is true, tongue touching is true, nose smelling is true...
…I let you hear, see, smell, taste, everything can be real.”
"Embrace me and accept my hug..."
"I can fulfill all your wishes."
————
The messenger in the darkness opened his hands to her.
…
Take a deep breath.
After calming down, the squad leader slowly walked up to him, mustered up the courage to look, and seemed to see a faint smile under the black cloak.
Raise your hand.
"Pah——!"
The girl used all her strength to slap him hard on the face with a big ear-scratcher.
Chapter completed!
