After Earthbind's first stop, the Daedalus Bridge was successfully passed. The satellite area and the city became one again. Wandering Star and the others also moved from the satellite area to the city and began to live in the heart of the city.
"Wandering Star, you're really something. The improved engine's power had increased quite a bit.”Jack sat on the Wheel of Fortune and said with satisfaction. Wandering Star was monitoring the data of Wheel D on the computer at the side, and his ten fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard.
"Ke Luo! Ke Luo…do you want to try?”
Crow woke up from her thoughts and looked away from the card in her hand." Oh, Jack, I think it's better to forget it.”
"Hey, kid, what's wrong with you? Haven't you always wanted to try my Wheel of Fortune? Moreover, it's an improved version today. Aren't you interested in trying it?”Jack turned off the power and got off the D-wheel to walk in front of Ke Luo.
Wandering Star also stopped working on the computer, released the electromagnetic pen in his mouth, and came to Ke Luo's side. "Ke Luo, what's wrong with you today? The World Grand Prize is starting in a year. We have to seize the opportunity. The card in your hand is…"
Wandering Star took the card from Ke Luo's hand. It was different from all the normal cards they had seen. The frame of this card was black, and the most puzzling thing was the level of the card.
So far, all the cards had been ranked from right to left, but Ke Luo's card was the opposite, from left to right. The effect frames were also different. Wandering Star had seen rituals, alliances, fusion, adjustment, and synchronization, but he had never seen excessive amounts.
Jack also leaned over to take a look and said in slight surprise,"How can there be such a card? It's actually black. I say, Ke Luo, it can't be a fake card, right?”
Ke Luo suddenly stood up and snatched the card back. He shouted," It's not a fake card. This is the last thing he left behind at that time…"
Ke Luo sat back down on the stool weakly after he finished speaking, his expression somewhat dispirited. Wandering Star Jack was shocked." Could it be that this card is…"
" That's right. I was the first person to be knocked down in the battle with Godwin. Just when I thought I was going to fall to my death, Dragon Ya shot a card at me. The bird that came out of the card and saved me was transformed by this card. After Dragon Ya was swallowed by that strange black hole, this card has always been with me. I've never had the chance to return it. How could the card he used be a fake, Jack!”
Jack lowered his proud head in shame." Ke Luo, I'm sorry. I didn't know that card…"
Wandering Star also silently turned his head, his eyes revealing a faint sadness." Zero Bird Beast…"
"Dong dong! Thump thump…"
"Someone is coming, Jack…"
"Got it. I'll open the door."
The door of the repair shop opened. A tall, dark-skinned man in a green uniform and a young woman with short blue hair stood outside the door. She was tall and slender, wearing a clean work uniform and holding a document bag in her hand.
The young woman with a fair and delicate face and a good temperament blushed when she saw the person who opened the door. Her eyes were filled with panic and surprise.
"A…Lord Atlas, how could it be you…"
Jack frowned and asked in confusion," Oxtail, Deep Fog, what are you doing here? The facilities of the Public Security Department should be much better than here. I don't think you need our help to repair anything.”
"We're not here to do business with you. It's about the specters.”
"Spectre?"
Wandering Star walked forward." Let's talk inside!”
Deep Fog found a random seat and sat down. Oxtail stood beside Deep Fog." Wandering Star, you should have heard about the meteorite landing outside the city, right?”
The three of them nodded, indicating that they knew what was going on." What does this have to do with the ghost you were talking about?”
Deep Mist opened the file." According to the latest investigation by the Public Security Department, the ghost incident only started after the meteorite appeared. All the duelists who fought with the ghost were seriously injured, which seriously affected the city's security. This was the first time such an incident had happened since the satellite area and the city area were connected.”
"You want us to help?”
"That's right. We know your strength. As long as you can make a move, this matter will definitely be resolved very quickly.”
Ke Luo said," Isn't protecting the safety of the citizens your job? Why are you looking for us? Can't you see that we have a lot of work to do?”
"I'm sorry! I know you guys are busy, but we really have no choice. The Public Security Department had sent out many police officers to capture the ghosts, but it was to no avail. Dozens of police officers were all injured. I can only rely on you now. If your work is delayed because of this, the Public Security Bureau will compensate for the losses.”
Wandering Star continued to work, his fingers tapping on the keyboard." I don't care!”
"Hey! Hey! Hey…Wandering Star, we don't have that much time. The development of the D round's engine requires a lot of time and experiments. A year is not even enough. How can we spare time to manage these things? Don't you want to participate in the World Grand Prize and win the championship?”
Jack waved his hand." Wandering Star, Ke Luo is right. Since we want to participate, we have to win the championship. Otherwise, we might as well not participate!”
Wandering Star closed his eyes slightly." Alright, I understand. I'm sorry, Miss Deep Mist, but I can't agree to your request.”
"But, Wandering Star…"
Deep Fog wanted to continue persuading him, but he was pulled back by Oxtail." Alright, let's go!" We should rely on ourselves for some things, we can't always rely on Wandering Star. They have already sacrificed a lot to save this world from Earthbound God. We should do these things ourselves.”
"Ah, I won't send you off! Have a good journey!"
"Ling…"
When the bell rang, the originally quiet campus suddenly became noisy. Countless children in bright school uniforms swarmed out of the classroom, and the corridors suddenly became crowded.
The bell for the end of class was a heavenly sound to all the students because it meant freedom, that they could play to their heart's content, that they could go home...
However, there was a girl who felt suffocated by the temptation of the bell. Just stay in school, stay here, don't go home, don't wander around in an empty room alone. There was only one person left in the big house. In the silent night, he could only stay in the room with the lights on, curled up under the blanket, and sweat until dawn.
But so what if she didn't go home? After a while, she would be the only one left in the classroom. At least when she went home, she would still have his scent and memories to reminisce about. There was nothing here…
"Long Ke, what's wrong?" The Heavenly Soldier walked forward and sat on the stool beside Long Ke.
In the past half a year, that angelic smile had never stopped on this girl's face. Her lake-blue hair was no longer combed as carefully as before. Without the monarch, even if the beauty was still there, who would she show it to?
The eyes that were supposed to make people's eyes light up and their hearts soften were now empty and dull like a flat mirror, unable to stir up any ripples. Gemstones and jade artifacts were covered in dust, and no matter how beautiful they were, they could not shine.
"Long Ke, don't think about it. It'll get better!”The Heavenly Soldier did not know how to comfort him, even though he was the best friend of Long Ke other than Long Ya. However, the Heavenly Soldier realized that no matter what he did, he could not open this girl's heart. Silkworms wrapped in cocoons would never break through that thin silk cage until spring arrived.
No matter how slow the passage of time was, a silkworm that had created its own cocoon would sooner or later welcome the spring when it broke out of its cocoon. However, no one knew if spring would come for this young girl in front of them. Unfortunately, that day might never come. The only thing the people beside her could do was to use words to warm the silkworm bud, so that she could feel enough warmth to separate herself from the silk.
Unfortunately, this layer of silk was too thick…
"Long Ke, don't be like this. If Long Ya knew you were like this, he would definitely beat me to death. Besides, he probably can't bear to see you like this…"
Hearing those two familiar words, the young girl's expression finally changed." Heavenly Soldier, let's go. Sorry for making you worry…"
"Yes!" Heavenly Soldier took the initiative to help Long Ke carry her bag and walked beside Long Ke to send Long Ke home silently. It had been like this every day for six months. Long Ya was no longer around. As Long Ya's best friend, Heavenly Soldier took the initiative to take responsibility for protecting Long Ke. Sending Long Ke home every day was something he had to do.
Seeing a young and energetic girl become a dull person who was full of sorrow, full of longing every day, and suffering and loneliness every night, Heavenly Soldier's heart tightened. However, he had no choice. He was not the one who could warm her world. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shine the light into her heart.
Walking to the school gate, Long Ke suddenly heard someone calling her again. The accent was not the childish voice of a child, nor was it the kind of thick male voice. It sounded like a magnetic youth who had just matured.
" Wandering Star…" Long Ke was slightly surprised to see who it was.
"It's not just Wandering Star. We're here too. Why didn't you say hello to Jack and me? We'll be sad, won't we, Jack?”
Ke Luo elbowed Jack, who turned his head to the side." Don't mention this to me. I... I don't care..."
As Jack spoke, he sized up Long Ke from the corner of his eye. He saw that the little girl looked a little haggard and pale. Her physical condition was obviously not very good.
Seeing that her former companions had arrived, a rare smile finally appeared on the girl's face.
"You came to our school to…"
"I just came to see you. In the past six months, we couldn't come to see you together for various reasons.”Wandering Star's eyes were filled with apology when he saw the young girl's expression.
In fact, after the Earthbound God incident ended, Youxing and the others often came to visit Long Ke. No matter how busy they were, they would send someone over. However, it was really the first time that three people came together like today. After all, they had opened a shop and needed someone to take care of it. They couldn't just close it for no reason.
Now that the three of them had come together, Long Ke was pleasantly surprised. It was not only because Wandering Star and the others were her good friends, but more importantly, Long Ya liked Wandering Star very much and even worshipped him a little. Moreover, Wandering Star had risked his life to save Long Ya during the battle against Godwin. To Long Ke, who viewed Long Ya as the most important person in his life, Wandering Star wasn't just a representative of his companions. It was also an alternative form of sustenance for Long Ke.
Ke Luo said," Actually, we've always wanted to come together, but we were too busy with work and developing the engine, so we delayed it until now. Speaking of which, it wasn't appropriate to talk here.”
"Ah! Sorry, everyone, come to my house. Heavenly soldiers, do you want to come along? Let's go upstairs today!"
The Heavenly Soldier waved his hand." Hehe…Forget it. There are so many people going home with you today. I'll pass. Maybe next time!" Well then, goodbye Long Ke. I wish you all a happy chat today!”
Just as Wandering Star and the others turned around and took a few steps, a voice called out from behind them," Wandering Star, you guys are too mean. You didn't even invite me along when you came to see Long Ke-chan. Don't you see me as your companion?"”
Everyone turned around and saw a red figure walking towards them.
"Cho…"
"Sixteen Nights…"
Ke Luo said," How did you know we were here?”
Sixteenth Nights smiled." When I arrived at the Wandering Raven King Repair Shop, I saw that the door was closed, so I asked the old man next to me. I knew that you were heading in this direction, so I'm pretty sure you came here.”
Ke Luo was instantly displeased." Hey! Hey! Hey…Sixteen Nights, can you not make the name of the shop sound so bad? It should be Bullet Crow Shop.”
Wandering Star remained silent. As for the name of the shop, it hadn't been opened for long, only a few months, so he hadn't had the time to name it.
Jack clenched his fists." Crow, it's obviously the king's shop. Your name is really unpleasant to hear.”
Cho reached out to stop him." I say, you two didn't do anything in the shop. Wandering Star didn't even say anything, but you two started fighting. Right, Wandering Star?"
As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In Sixteen Nights 'eyes, the shop was mainly occupied by Wandering Stars.
Wandering Star explained to his two best friends,"Cho, don't say that. Jack and Crow helped a lot.”
The two of them nodded at the same time." That's right…that's right…"
"Because Ke Luo has the knowledge to repair and make D-wheels, he often helps me with repairs. Because we were too busy, some of the things that we couldn't leave were handed over to Jack, sharing a lot of my burden.”
Ke Luo snorted unhappily. Every time Jack went out to do business, his employer would come to him personally and ask me and Wandering Star to apologize.”
"Ke Luo!" Jack glared at Crow, but what Crow said was the truth, so he couldn't get angry. He could only shout a few words to save some face.
Sixteen Nights walked in front of Long Ke, squatted down, and affectionately stroked the young girl's head. She gently rubbed Long Ke's head and gently said,""It must be very lonely at home alone. You should have nightmares at night, right? You have to pull yourself together, Long Ya. If he sees you like this on the other side, his heart will ache. Look at you, you don't even know how to dress yourself up. This won't do. I'll help you dress up later. Perhaps Long Ya will fly back when she finds out that my Long Ke is so beautiful!”
Sixteen Nights smiled and closed her eyes, revealing a very friendly smile.
" Elder Sister Qiu…" Long Ke's eyes instantly became moist. Her heart was touched, and tears could no longer be controlled as they flowed out. She threw herself into Sixteen Nights 'arms and started crying wantonly. After Long Ya disappeared, Long Ke tried her best to control her emotions and not cry in front of others. Because…because Long Ya once told her to learn to be strong and take care of herself.
Every day, she tried her best to endure the longing, sadness, and grief. She wanted to release these but could not. So tired. She really felt so tired. Every night, she would curl up under the blanket alone at home. Every morning, when she woke up and looked at her wet pillow, she could not help but think of Long Ya. She thought of the person who had sworn to protect her for the rest of her life, but had heartlessly left her.
Long Ke seemed to have found an outlet to vent her emotions. She cried wantonly in Sixteen Nights 'embrace. She wanted to vent all the longing and sorrow she had felt for the past six months. It was like a flood that had broken its banks, and it could not be stopped.
Sixteen Nights hugged Long Ke tightly, feeling the delicate body in her arms trembling violently. The moist coldness in her chest quickly spread. Sixteen Nights 'tightly shut eyes couldn't help but shed tears of sadness. This was a cruel reality for an eleven-year-old child.
