Arknights is too real, right?

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky again.

After walking out of the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng stood on the steps, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Nowadays, some things can no longer be thought of in a normal way of thinking. They are like an unknown door. No matter what kind of survival equipment you prepare, safety cannot be guaranteed.

Opening the door, it might be an ice sheet, a volcano, a swamp, or an abyss.

At this time, Ergou's voice came from the street.

"Hey, Lao Xia, you're back again, why didn't you notify me in advance?"

We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, and Ergou, who is still in the growth stage, has undergone great changes.

The boy's voice has basically transformed into an adult male voice. Although he has not continued to grow much taller, he looks a lot stronger. The hair that he had before has now been grown into a bunch of hair, making him look like a young man. hip hop singer.

But no matter how he grew up, Ergou's character was still that carefree.

Seeing Xia Feng, he immediately came over to Balabala who was smiling and didn't listen, completely unaware of Xia Feng's mood at the moment.

Speaking of excitement, this kid actually did an impromptu street dance, and he danced in style.

After the dance, Ergou patted the snow on his body.

"Damn it, the ground is too slippery, otherwise I could dance better. How about Lao Xia, it's okay."

Xia Feng replied calmly.

"fine."

"Hehe, just average. Ranked third in the country. By the way, Lao Xia, I will participate in the Royal Academy football match next spring. You have to come and cheer me on."

Ergou's smile seems to always be so innocent. For him, probably the biggest dilemma in life is when his mother violently fucks him.

Xia Feng unconsciously thought that once upon a time, he seemed to be like this in another world.

I fantasize about unrealistic things all day long. I am addicted to games and animations all day long. I roam innocently in the world I created in my mind.

Growing up is a scary thing.

Since he came to this world, everything has changed. Unknowingly, he was forced to grow into a "horrible" person. The reason is very simple. He just wants to survive in this world.

But now, survival, which is a matter of course, has become a luxury.

"Two dogs."

"kindness?"

"I met your sister."

"ah?"

"She is very good. She has become a big girl. She looks a lot like you."

After saying that, Xia Feng put his hands in his pockets and walked down the steps.

Ergou was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

"Hey, Lao Xia, what's going on! Hey, hey, hey, don't leave. Where is my sister? Hey!"

Despite the two dogs roaring behind him, Xia Feng walked towards the old house at the end of Baigui Street without looking back.

Because no one has cleaned it for a long time, the snow on the streets has hardened, and it will make a "creeping, creaking" sound when you step on it hard.

At the innermost side of the street, standing in front of a door that he had never entered before, Xia Feng raised his hand and pushed it open.

This house is Captain Roger's home.

From the front door to the room door to the bedroom door, not a single door in Captain Roger's house was locked. Xia Feng walked in slowly.

As he expected, Captain Roger's home was deserted because he lived alone, and there wasn't even decent furniture.

In the living room, there are only old wooden chairs covered with traces of time. In addition, there are many photos hanging on the yellowed walls.

Most of these photos have been blurred, but looking at them as a whole, it can still be seen that they were basically taken on the boat.

There are many people on the deck in the photo, such as a strong sailor, a chef wearing a hat, a navigator holding a map, and a captain holding the rudder of the ship.

It seemed that Ergou did not lie to him. To be precise, Captain Roger did not lie to Ergou.

In the bedroom, Captain Roger was sitting on an old rocking chair, with his legs covered with blankets and a small stove in front of him, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the old face opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

"Hey, little boss, you're back again."

"kindness."

"Why don't you wear your glasses?"

"I am Xia Feng, the owner of the barbecue restaurant. I have never worn glasses."

Captain Roger's eyes showed confusion, and after a moment, he seemed to remember something.

"Oh, it's Xia Feng. Oh, I remembered it. It turns out you are Xia Feng, not the one who took pictures. You are Xia Feng who runs a barbecue restaurant."

Seeing Xia Feng standing blankly, Captain Roger immediately motioned to the small bench by the window.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to Baigui Street. Sit down quickly. I'm not in good health lately, so I won't entertain you. You can sit on your own stool."

Xia Feng looked around the room for a moment. Like the living room, there were many old photos hanging on the walls.

"Captain Roger, I came back in a hurry and didn't bring you a gift."

"Hey, we are all neighbors, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Okay, then I'm not welcome. In fact, I came back to see you this time because I want to ask you something."

Captain Roger leaned on the rocking chair, his eyes slightly dull.

"What else can you do with me, an old man who is about to die?"

"It's a very important thing."

"Oh, tell me about it."

Xia Feng stood in front of the rocking chair, quietly staring at Captain Roger's old face.

"Since the neighbors in Hyakki Street call you Captain Roger, you must have been a man who sailed across the sea when you were young."

"Hehehe, it's all the neighbors who are yelling, why do you take it seriously?"

"If you didn't say it yourself, how could everyone call it that."

Captain Roger said leisurely.

"Oh, I just told the kid Ergou that when I moved here, Ergou hadn't started school yet. When I saw the kid was lonely, I just talked to him about some unreasonable things. Ha, little kid. Kids, it’s easy to take that seriously.”

Xia Feng still looked at Captain Roger quietly.

"So you haven't been to the sea, have you?"

"Yes."

"Then Turtle was sick before. Where did the blue stone bracelet you provided come from?"

Captain Roger's expression was smiling, because the wrinkles were so deep that even his eyes were sunken.

"What kind of bracelet? My memory is not very good as I get older, so I can't remember it anymore."

"What about those pictures on the living room wall?"

"Ahaha, those were taken by a friend a long time ago. I had no place to hang them, so I just hung them in my house."

"But there is a boat, the sea, and you in the photo. I can recognize it."

The smile on Captain Roger's face gradually disappeared, and the tight wrinkles relaxed.

In the room, an old man and a young man sat and stood in silence.

a long time.

Captain Roger sat in his rocking chair and sighed.

"I'm tired. Let's stop talking today. Please help me close the door tightly when you go out, otherwise the cold wind will blow in and my waist will suffer again."

Xia Feng had no intention of leaving.

"I'm not leaving today without getting the answers I want."

After hearing these firm words, Captain Roger raised his head and finally looked squarely at Xia Feng's face.

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Agor."

"What."

"When you were young, you went to Argor."

"Maybe, I can't remember clearly."

Xia Feng took two steps closer, lowered his upper body, and asked in a deep voice in Captain Roger's ear.

"You once told Ergou that there is a huge treasure in the deepest part of a certain sea area. There are monsters guarding it near the treasure. If I guessed correctly, the so-called treasure is in the deepest part of the Agor Sea. Department, right?"

Captain Roger closed his eyes, and there was a special meaning in his voice.

"So you want to get the treasure?"

"No, I don't want the treasure. At the same time, I can even guess what the treasure you are talking about is the Origin Stone. There are thousands of them all over the mountains and plains. You can't see the edge of the Origin Stone at a glance. Captain, am I right? .”

Hearing the word "Captain", Roger seemed to recall something, opened his eyes, and his eyes flickered.

"What do you want to know?"

Xia Feng's words were word for word.

"What I want to know is where the treasure is in the Agor Sea. I don't want the treasure. What I'm looking for is the monster guarding the treasure."
