============================
Lu Ning felt sore all over.

The overall time of Four Seasons Garden is too tight, and the actual elapsed time is more compact than all the scenes she experienced before.All the abnormalities on the body will be cured when it is picked up, but the mental fatigue will still remain, and it will be completely released in a sleep.

But after moving around a bit, she soon felt better.

In the end, there were 22 people who came back, and they were greeted by a rather retro wooden pirate ship, the kind that would make a slight creaking sound during sailing.

Lu Ning walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.The ship is sailing in a vast ocean, with a brilliant starry sky overhead.At the bow of the ship, a group of people lit a bonfire, and someone could be heard singing a song with a very strange tune. Lu Ning walked over and found that many people had gathered here.

"Lu Ning!" Si Fangle was holding a wooden wine glass about the size of his own head, with a slightly drunken expression on his face. He held a lute in his arms, and occasionally fiddled with it with his free hand. For a moment, I seem to enjoy the atmosphere very much.

The one who was singing was Hongshang Rinko. Her companions looked at her very helplessly. Lu Ning approached Gan Xu and asked what was going on. This fashionable man showed a very unfashionable expression: "Drink too much .”

Lu Ning was a little dumbfounded.

"Hey, Lu, would you like some barbecue? There are bread and salad on the table over there." Sitting on a wooden pier, Levanska waved at her. He was looking after the barbecue next to the campfire, with a dozen pieces of meat The skewers were sizzling and exuding an alluring smell of spices. Even if Lu Ning was not too inclined towards Western food, she still felt a little twitchy with her index finger.

Rosa, who was sitting next to her, had already filled her mouth with meat skewers in one hand and a wine glass in the other. William was standing at the table holding a glass of white wine. Lu Ning walked over and took a look at him. There are several kinds of vegetables sandwiched between them.

"vegetarian?"

"It's not that strict. I don't deliberately follow those taboos in the scene, but I try to abide by them after leaving the scene." William took a bite of the burger, "By the way, I have eaten some vegetarian food, and there are very good restaurants in the distribution center. "

"You're the first vegetarian I've ever met."

"In fact, there are still many people. I know a few monks in the third rank. Many of them still abide by the precepts of certain beliefs even in such an environment. They are very respectable."

"Perhaps I should make more friends in Tier [-]."

"It's very simple." William laughed, pointing to the Rose Cross badge on Lu Ning's collar, "With that badge, you are a welcome guest in many organizations."

"Does the Rosicrucian have a high reputation among you?"

"The relationship between the Golden Dawn and the Monarch Continent has always been good." William shrugged, "So the Rosicrucian and the Glory Crusade often have some social activities."

Lu Ning knew that Glorious Expedition was a subordinate of Monarch Continent. Hearing what William said, she paid attention to his newly changed clothes. Sure enough, she saw a silver griffin pattern near the second button under the collar.

She took a glass, glanced at the assortment of food and drinks on the table, and finally took a bottle of blueberry juice.

At this time, someone came to the bow of the ship again.

Samuana has returned to her usual smile, but Naim is still a little sullen.After the two came, they took a glass of wine from the large wine barrel here, and sat beside the campfire.

"How are you resting?" Samuana raised her glass.

"Not bad, this scene is really tiring, isn't it?" Levanska nodded.

"It's far more difficult than the usual third-tier scenes. Fortunately, there are also a group of teammates who are far beyond the usual level." Samuana smiled slightly, "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future...in less confrontational scenes."

"Hahaha! Indeed! It is indeed a headache to have you as opponents!"

The two chatted happily. Lu Ning looked at the people present and found that someone seemed to be missing.

"Who are you looking for?" A voice suddenly came from the shadow of a piece of canvas, Lu Ning took a closer look there, and found that Maoyou was lying there, dazed as if she had just woken up.

"You sleep here?"

"The starry sky is the roof, and the earth...well, the deck is the bed. This feeling is really great." Maoyou got up.

"It's just a hangover." William exposed him unceremoniously.

"Don't you gringos all like this kind of romance?"

"I'm sorry, my motherland is known for its strict self-discipline...and is there any general impression of the people in such a place?"

Maoyou pulled the clothes on his body, managed to tidy up a little, walked out of the shadows and said to Lu Ning, "It's a pity that you didn't come to participate last night."

"Night?" Lu Ning pointed to the starry sky above her head, "Isn't it always like this here?"

"For example! Well, well, anyway, you missed a lot of fun." Maoyou smiled slyly.

"Your bonfire party lasted about ten hours, I'm sure there was a lot of fun in it."

Maoyou grabbed a hamburger on the table: "Of course! Do you know the scene where Rosa tried to forcefully kiss Levanska with the help of alcohol? And the old Si played the string with one hand to show off? What happened after that? By the way, Hong Shang looks like a different person when he's drunk hahahahahahahahahahahaha, is she still singing?"

"It's the second round." Gan Xu made a gesture, "You kid can still remember so clearly when you're drunk, and you can jump off the railing without everyone stopping you."

"What?"

Lu Ning looked at Maoyou suspiciously, and became more and more suspicious that this guy might not be acting in his true colors in the garden.

At this time, a person grabbed the rope and descended from the watchtower above. It was Duanmuxi.

"Okay, what Lu Ning cares about is not these gossip news."

She probably didn't take part in the drinking, so she seemed to be a fairly reliable one among the group.

"Cheng Wuling is giving Li Bei Fengdai psychological counseling, and the situation should be good. Helena and the group are not with us, but Mayuri has something for you..."

"What?"

"Look for her to play chess when you have time."

"?" Lu Ning was a little confused.

The pirate ship seemed to be sailing slowly, but in fact it was very fast. After another four or five hours, everyone saw the outline of the distribution center under the starry sky in the distance, and the sea had come to an end, and it was time to part.

"Contact anytime!" Samuana and Naim were the first to disembark. She waved happily, but no one could see any emotion under her expression.

Then, there is the distribution center where Lu Ning is. There are many people disembarking here. Naturally, Lu Ning, Cheng Wuling, and Si Fangle are together. Go up William.

"Lu! We have a chance to see you again!!" Mao You frantically waved his hands at the bow of the boat. Even though he already knew Lu Ning's full name, he was still used to calling Lu Ning by this name.Lu Ning turned her head and saw Levanska leaning on the railing and slowly waving, Rosa holding her thumb high, Ji Changhao smiling, and Duanmuxi climbing back to the watchtower at a higher level.

My mood suddenly improved a lot.

This time, Lu Ning successfully got the full score of [-] for the third level, which is completely enough for the hospital's expenses.Unexpectedly, in such a special scene, the damage can be said to be very little, and even [-] points can solve all problems.

Just as she walked out of the hospital, Lu Ning was patted on the shoulder.

"Hey!"

Lu Ning turned her head naturally and saw a familiar face.

"I thought you were going to turn your head and pinch my neck!"

"What kind of mentality should be used in any environment, and besides, welcome to the third level, Zhao Xihua." Lu Ning smiled at the people in front of him.

======================
Steam rises slowly in the air, and a bitter and slightly sweet smell lingers in the not-so-large room. The extraction pot is undergoing further refining, and a steady and strong hand wipes clean white coffee Cups are set aside on the table.

"Hero Tomb, you don't drink this often."

"Except when I think back to my hometown."

The woman in a dark blue dress sat quietly beside the bar, with some nostalgia in her eyes.

"Then correct me, you miss home a lot."

"Shitong, you never seem to miss anything, and you never have any special feelings for anything. You are the same as the speaker, I don't even know what you want-people, no matter good or evil, there is always something to maintain. Will continue to work hard to survive.”

"I know what he wants. And I... I really don't need anything."

Tokitomi crossed the fingers of both hands slightly, and then placed his hands on the bar counter.

"What have you experienced? Or... what is there?"

"Even if you're curious, I don't recommend you try it. The war is over, Jun Ying, and the peace of the distribution center has lasted for more than 100 years. Although we won't grow old, we will still die."

"Including you?"

"Of course, even if I know more than many people."

"In that dark age, the Astral Sanctuary you founded protected countless people who were struggling to survive at that time. And in the war, you beheaded two 'monarchs' with your own hands... But from the first time I saw When it came to you, it didn't feel like you were a hero."

"Because it wasn't originally." Tokitomi continued to fiddle with the instrument, and a cup of slightly thicker coffee began to appear at the bottom of the cup.

"But the speaker still has great ambitions that we don't know about, why do you..."

"It may be because of people, or it may be the influence of experience. Junying, you don't have to have any doubts. Everyone has their own way to go. I am not the direction you should look forward to."

"……I understand."

The coffee cup was pushed to Junying's hand, she picked it up and took a sip, the air became quiet.

After a while of mist cleared, Tokitomi spoke again.

"The smell of home?"

"No, it's just to make my memories that are about to be forgotten come alive a little bit more." Jun Ying's expression was a little disappointed, "That's actually good."

"No one can force you to make a choice. You can go home. With your current knowledge and strength, it is not too difficult to pass the final test."

"Do not."

"Is this still the answer?"

"Since I really understood the existence of the distribution center, there is only one road left in front of me. And this road does not lead to my hometown."

"I said...choose."

"Tokitomi, what kind of world did you live in?"

"forget."

"forget?"

"I have been in the distribution center for a long time, even though I have gradually lost the use of the hospital, but my early experience has worn away my memory of the past. My hometown, my relatives, and my death have all been taken away. Polluted souls are lost in those instruments."

"...so you won't understand."

"Oh, I understand. Although a lot of the past has disappeared, the past I have accumulated is bigger than what I have lost. I can understand your mood, so I just persuade you not to regret it."

Jun Ying pinched her fingers, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.She herself is also a fifth-level tourist with a long history, but when facing Shitong, it seems that she is facing the history of the entire distribution center, and the sense of gravity even surpasses that of the chairman.

"I heard that you seem to have done something in the low-level distribution center."

"Yes, after all, this year's [visa] will expire if you don't use it anymore, it's not a good habit to waste it."

"What will be the result?"

"Maybe nothing will happen, maybe we won't see it until more than ten years later, anyway, by that time, it's unknown whether you and I will still exist here."

"I will wait until the day when it blooms and bears fruit." Jun Ying held the coffee cup, "And you...is there anything else that can kill you?"

"Yes, elimination scene."

"Even if it's you now?"

"You seem to have misunderstood something, Jun Ying. The elimination scene is a place where all the malice of the distribution center is poured, and all the traps designed there point to a miserable death. Even people who have passed it once will still be afraid to enter that place again .” Shi Tong smiled faintly.
