Chapter 232 A Captain in Name and in Disguise
Rainwater trickled down her hair and into her collar.
It took away the last bit of body heat from my body.
"elder brother."
She called out.
The sound was very soft.
The sound of rain tore it apart.
"I brought some good wine."
She pulled a flat metal flask from her pocket.
Unscrew the cap.
The crisp aroma of wine mingled with the earthy smell of soil.
She tilted her wrist.
The wine was poured in front of Xiao Tianyu's tombstone.
The alcohol mixed with rainwater and seeped into the soil.
She stood up.
We walked to Chen Liguo's tombstone.
He poured out the remaining half-pot of wine.
"Uncle Chen."
"This liquor is strong."
"You previously said that you can't drink alcohol while on duty."
"Nobody cares about you anymore."
She tossed the empty wine jug aside.
The metal struck the stone slab with a dull thud.
She squatted down.
He hugged his knees with both hands.
Rest your chin on your knees.
"The monsters on the southern front have been wiped out."
"They were beaten badly."
"But I killed a lot of high-level aberrations."
She paused for a moment.
My breathing became a little rapid.
His chest heaved violently.
"But none of you can see it anymore."
The Sichuan-Chongqing secret realm went out of control three years ago.
The official records contain only four simple words: heavy casualties.
That was an insurmountable obstacle for her.
She looked at Xiao Tianyu's photo.
The young man in the photo is laughing irritatingly.
"Brother, you lied to me."
"You said those low-level secret realms aren't anything to be afraid of."
You said you would always stand in front of me.
She clenched her fists.
The fingernails dug into the palm.
Fresh blood mixed with rainwater flowed down.
A blush of red spread out on the ground.
"That day when the monster horde surged in."
Why did you push me away?
"You're blocking that narrow passageway all by yourself."
"Those were more than a hundred two-headed demon wolves."
"Their claws are half a meter long."
"When they tear you apart."
Why didn't you even make a sound?
Her voice began to tremble.
His eyes were red-rimmed.
Rainwater washed over her face.
I can't tell if it's rain or tears.
She turned to look at Chen Liguo's tombstone.
The old policeman in the photo has a kind and honest face.
"Uncle Chen."
"You're the one who dragged me out of the pile of blood."
"You're just an ordinary old policeman."
"You're not even the lowest level of Awakened."
"You're driving that beat-up Jeep."
"They broke through the encirclement of the dire wolves."
She bit her lower lip.
Until you bite until you draw blood.
The rusty taste spread in my mouth.
"You saved me."
"But you have been contaminated with poison."
There is no antidote for that poison.
"You've been taking a lot of pills every day for the past three years."
"He coughs up blood every day."
"You even lied to me and said it was just my old bronchitis."
The fighting in various places was intense a few days ago.
Old Chen insisted on maintaining order on the front line.
The toxins erupted in full force.
His wife called Xiao Qianyu.
She wanted to seek help, but Xiao Qianyu was too busy fighting to do so.
He fell in a pool of blood on the street.
He never woke up again.
Xiao Qianyu raised her hand.
He pounded hard on the waterlogged stone slabs.
Water splashed everywhere.
"What's the point of killing so many monsters!"
"I can't save you!"
She screamed in suppressed anger at the tombstone.
Footsteps sounded behind me.
Very stable.
The rhythm remained unchanged.
The military boots pounded through the puddles on the ground.
Wen Yue had already retreated silently to the outer perimeter of the cemetery.
Lu Yan dispelled his concealed aura.
They emerged from the shade of the pine trees.
He wasn't using an umbrella.
He let the cold rain pour down on him.
He stepped onto the stone-paved road.
He stopped three steps away from Xiao Qianyu.
Xiao Qianyu did not turn around.
She already knew he was there.
The senses of a top assassin never disappear.
She just didn't want to pay attention.
But now he's moved on.
She slowly stood up.
My body was stiff from the cold and my emotional distress.
She turned her head.
Looking at Lu Yan.
Looking at that calm, expressionless face.
Her eyes were complicated.
Many images flashed through my red and swollen eyes.
At the first meeting.
The Dragon Guard headquarters said they would send an Aura Master to assist them.
She felt it was a burden.
In her understanding.
On the battlefield, the Aura Masters could only hide in the back, trembling with fear.
They even need to spare some manpower to protect him.
later.
This so-called auxiliary force was deployed on the southern front.
It gave the entire team a hundredfold boost.
Yang Jian and Nezha shattered the high-dimensional weapon.
He threw out the black lotus flower.
It directly deconstructs the indescribable monster.
He stood in front of everyone.
Face directly at that pure white eye of the supreme god.
They didn't retreat an inch.
That silhouette was more steadfast than a mountain.
He is not a burden.
He is the soul of this team.
It is the cornerstone of stability for the Chinese military and the awakened people.
Xiao Qianyu took a deep breath.
The cold air rushed into my lungs.
The rise and fall of his chest gradually subsided.
She straightened her back.
Raise your right hand.
Bring your five fingers together.
Place your fingertips on the edge of your brow bone.
She looked at Lu Yan.
He gave a perfectly standard military salute.
This was not a casual nod between colleagues.
This is the highest level of courtesy when addressing a superior.
Rainwater streamed down the back of her hand.
It hit the black clothes.
"Lu Yan".
She called out his name.
There was no job title following the name.
There were no formalities involved.
"The appointment documents issued by higher-ups are not important."
"That was just a piece of paper with a stamp on it."
She lowered her hand.
He stood like a javelin.
"In my heart."
"In the hearts of Zhao Leiguang, Wen Yue, Su Yunqing, Lin Chuxue, and Shen Xinglin."
"Starting today."
"From the moment you stood in our way."
She looked directly into Lu Yan's eyes.
His gaze was intense.
"You truly deserve the title of captain of the first squad!"
The sound pierced through the rain.
Definitely.
Without any hesitation.
This is her status as a top assassin.
The most complete surrender and trust.
Lu Yan looked at her.
Looking at this girl who is usually aloof and unapproachable.
Looking at her trembling shoulders.
Looking at her red and swollen eyes.
Lu Yan remained silent.
He did not refuse.
He simply nodded slightly.
He took on this heavy responsibility.
I received that look.
This represents the complete unity of the first squad on a spiritual level.
Xiao Qianyu saw him nod the moment he did so.
The last bit of strength I'm holding on to.
It collapsed instantly.
She was like a bow with a broken string.
Take two steps forward.
She suddenly bumped into Lu Yan's arms.
She gripped his shirt collar tightly with both hands.
She buried her head in Lu Yan's shoulder.
She burst into tears.
This wasn't the usual sobbing of a girl.
This was hysterical wailing.
She was like a lost little girl.
Finally, we've found a safe haven to dock in.
Why...?
She cried and screamed at the same time.
Tears mingled with the rain, soaking Lu Yan's combat uniform.
"Why do we need secret realms at all!"
"Why do we need a nationwide awakening?!"
She gripped Lu Yan's clothes tightly.
The joints are protruding and white.
"Isn't it good to be an ordinary person?"
"I don't need any advanced talents."
"I don't want any Dragon King Halberd."
"I just want my brother to come back alive."
"I just want Uncle Chen to make me a cup of goji berry tea again."
She was crying so hard she could barely breathe.
The despair that had been suppressed for three years was finally released.
For the past three years, she has been killing every day.
Every day is like dancing on a knife's edge.
Everyone praised her as the strongest assassin.
But in her heart there was only a black hole riddled with holes.
Lu Yan let her hold him.
He let her wipe her tears on his clothes.
There was no attempt to dodge.
There were no empty words of comfort either.
He knew she needed to vent.
A person is too tense.
It will break.
He raised his right hand.
The movements were very gentle.
He patted her on the back.
Then place your hand on the top of her head.
His hands were very steady.
It carries a power that gives people absolute peace of mind.
"Cry."
Lu Yan spoke.
The sound was low and muffled in the rain.
"Cry it out this time."
"Just wipe away your tears completely."
He lifted his eyelids.
Looking at the two tombstones in front of me.
Looking at the photos of Xiao Tianyu and Chen Liguo.
"Running away is useless."
"Weakness is useless."
Lu Yan's eyes turned extremely cold.
That wasn't coldness towards Xiao Qianyu.
It was pure killing intent towards the creatures behind the stargate.
"They want to turn this place into a hunting ground."
"They want to treat us like food in a petri dish."
Lu Yan's fingers ran through Xiao Qianyu's wet hair.
"I won't let them have their way."
He spoke slowly and deliberately.
It was as if he was speaking to Xiao Qianyu.
It's like making a vow to the person in the tombstone.
"It will be alright."
"We will win."
Lu Yan raised his head.
Looking up at the gloomy and oppressive sky.
The black lines on the back of his hand were faintly visible.
The power of the Void Disc lies dormant within the bloodline.
"I will definitely lead you into the Star Gate."
"Tear down all that high and mighty garbage."
"Then."
Lu Yan tightened his grip.
"End all of this."
