2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

When Yan Muyun met Ye Buyu on the east side of the road, he noticed that one of his cheeks was bulging and he looked a bit like a squirrel.

"What did you eat secretly?" he asked with a smile.

The little squirrel tilted its mouth and puffed up the other cheek: "Old Mrs. Liu gave me a candy just now. It was very delicious. Didn't she give it to you? Wei Min and Yan Long seem to have both."

"Maybe she hasn't had time to find me yet." Yan Muyun touched his nose, and then emphasized it as if he was respectful: "I ate the candy when I went to their house the day before yesterday. It tastes really good."

The two walked up the path and after turning a corner, they saw a relatively empty flat land. The man in the brown jacket was sitting on a rock, with his back to them, and his signature half-cigarette in his hand.

"This way." Xing Xiuxian pointed forward without looking back.

Yan Muyun and Ye Buyu stepped forward and found that this was indeed a highland with a good view. From here, they could have a clear view of the entire sacrificial venue. Any problems should be discovered immediately.

Xing Xiuxian exhaled a puff of white smoke and said calmly: "We are short of manpower. It is easier to see from here. If anything happens, you can just jump down."

"Actually, you can watch from here. If anything happens, just notify us as soon as possible. There is no need for all three of us to be here." Yan Muyun suggested.

Xing Xiuxian turned his head and glanced at him with his peripheral vision: "Do you hate me so much?"

"No... I just think this is more reasonable." Yan Muyun was a little dumbfounded.

Xing Xiuxian turned his head and patted his side with his hand: "Sit down, let's chat."

He sat on a long stone, more than enough for three or four people.

Yan Muyun and Ye Buyu looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes. I don’t know what happened to this man tonight, he felt like he had changed his personality. I had clearly ignored them before, as if saying another word was a waste of time, but this time I actually took the initiative to chat with them?

Yan Muyun hesitated for a moment, but finally sat over.

After all, he is a good-natured person. As long as he is not facing a particularly annoying person, he is generally not willing to refuse other people's requests.

"You come too." Xing Xiuxian looked back at the girl standing behind.

He sat in the middle of the long stone, and Yan Muyun sat on the right side, leaving only the left side empty.

Ye Buyu twirled the candy in his mouth a few times, and finally stepped forward and sat on the edge of the left side, half a body away from the man.

"Feel sorry."

At this moment, Xing Xiuxian suddenly reached out and took off her hat.

"What are you doing?" Ye Buyu was startled.

Yan Muyun also frowned, not understanding why the other party suddenly did such a strange behavior.

Xing Xiuxian raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating that he had no other intentions: "Sorry, I just want to confirm whether you are wearing an ability suppressor. I don't like others to hear my voice."

"Just ask me directly." Ye Buyu put on his hat again and added: "I will not take off my ability suppressor unless necessary. I have no interest in what ordinary people are thinking. I am not interested in eavesdropping on others." I’m even less interested in privacy.”

It could be heard that she seemed a little angry.

However, Xing Xiuxian still looked listless, looking down at the bustling sacrificial venue with his eyelids half drooped.

"This night may be very long. I don't know when it will end. Do you want to hear a story?"

Yan Muyun was a little surprised. He didn't know what made this decisive and decisive man who was once the nightmare of countless people suddenly become so sentimental tonight. But he had an inexplicable premonition in his mind that something bad was going to happen.

...

One winter 33 years ago, in a small town in southern China, a baby boy was born.

The birth of this new life brought no joy and laughter, only some sympathy and pitying looks from the surrounding people.

Because one month before he was born, his biological father died in a car accident. After a period of suffering, his mother decided to take him to death, filling the bathtub with water and slitting her own wrists.

If his grandmother hadn't returned home immediately after buying groceries and his mother's cold body had been sent to the operating room in time, he might never have had the chance to open his eyes and see the world.

Under the care of his grandparents, the baby grew up into a physically and mentally healthy boy with excellent morals and academics.

However, when the boy was 15 years old, a conflict between supernatural beings involved his grandmother who was out for a walk, and her body was not found. In the same year, alien species appeared in their community, and their grandfather, who already had heart problems, was stimulated. Even though he used all his first aid knowledge, he was still unable to save himself.

The young man was a little confused. He didn't know why the world treated him like this. He couldn't even find someone to resent or curse.

It rained heavily that day at the high school opening ceremony.

On the way home from school, the boy jumped into a fast-flowing river.

But when the cold river water enveloped his whole body, he regretted it.

He still wants to live, with his father's share, grandma's share, grandpa's share...and mother's share, living together.

After grandma died, grandpa told him that when grandma came home from shopping for groceries, she originally thought her mother was sleeping in the room and planned to go straight to cooking. But as soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she heard something knocking in the toilet, so she went to check.

It was his mother tapping the shower head against the tub, again and again. She was speechless and could only make sounds in this way.

The boy believed that his mother must have regained her courage and wanted to live with him, but it was just a little late.

But as long as he can summon up his courage again, it's not too late.

So the boy desperately climbed ashore and finally fainted on the side of the road.

When he woke up again, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling and a familiar face.

He knew this girl with a worried face. She was his classmate for three years in junior high school, and they were roommates for a while. But in general, the relationship between them was not close, they just knew each other. He didn't know why the first thing he saw after waking up was her.

The girl's father is a doctor. He boiled a bowl of Chinese medicine for him. After drinking it, he fell asleep again. When he woke up again, he felt much better.

The young man learned the next day that the girl and he were admitted to the same high school and were classmates.

On the way home, she found him passed out downstairs in her house and took him home.

The girl’s mother is a teacher, a high school teacher, the teacher of their high school, and the head teacher of their class.

"After school, come to our house for dinner."

With this sentence, the boy had a new family in the next three years.
