Siren Blade

Chapter 147 Family
The reason why Xiaojing and her mother were drawn into the mist of the mirage was that the latter took Xiaojing to the mirage for some reason.

I have always been curious about the motivation of Xiaojing's mother to do this, so I will put aside the details of the shelter for a later time and introduce her later. Let me talk about her mental journey first.After entering the shelter, Xiao Jing couldn't help asking his mother, and this mother showed a bitter smile unique to a person who reaps the fruits of his own fruit, and then explained the ins and outs of the matter to us.

The matter can be traced back to the middleman incident. At that time, Qiao An’s seniors involved all the students in the private interest group into the ruins due to their own selfish desires. In the end, only Qiao An and Xiaojing survived, and the other students all died in the demon. mouth.Although I haven't paid much attention to the follow-up impact of this incident, from the perspective of the secular society, this is a major case of mysterious disappearance of many students whose life and death are unknown. Not to mention that the school must pay attention to it, and the local government must also pay full attention to it stand up.

But as a result, this case of a nasty nature was not taken seriously by anyone.Maybe it was paid attention to at the beginning, and there were even related news reports published in the corner of the city newspaper, but no one paid attention to it anymore.Such is the nature of covert events.Not to mention the death of "a few students", even the destruction of Bairi Town and the current destruction of the Mirage, the outside world will at most make noise for a while, and finally let it go.

However, other people don't have to pay attention to it, but Xiaojing's mother has to pay attention to it. Who told her that she is the parent of the client.At that time, Xiaojing had to go to the Security Bureau for medical examinations regularly because he ate food from a different space, and Xiaojing's mother also learned the whole story of the incident under the obligatory explanation of the Security Bureau.

She was deeply terrified of her daughter's unbelievably cruel experience, and she thought of her ex-husband whom she hadn't seen for many years, that is, Mingyi.

More than ten years ago, she married Mingyi and became husband and wife.Back then, Mingyi was not a law enforcement warlock, but a young man from a family of secular law enforcement officers. He had a handsome face, a strong body, and a kind and sincere heart.She fell in love with Mingyi and was determined to stay with him forever.

Although Mingyi is proud in love, he is frustrated in the workplace.His temper is too straightforward, he insists on taking care of any injustice he sees.To put it nicely, this is called rather bending than bending, and to put it in an ugly direction, it means stubbornness.This is true for colleagues, and it is also true for superiors. You can't rub the sand in your eyes.

And this kind of personality did not show any sign of change even after he was over 30 years old, on the contrary, it got worse.It stands to reason that after a man has a wife and children, he should also know the world and be tactful, but his nerves are probably more dull than others, and there is no sign of "repenting from evil and returning to the right", so I don't know if it should be said that he is the original intention to not fix.Although he relied on the relationship accumulated by his parents in the circle to prevent many disasters, but this method will not last long after all.

A few years ago, he was finally kicked out of the unit by some people.

"When I was young, I looked forward to my parents. I thought they were heroes, and I wanted to be like them when I grew up. But the heroes in my imagination seem to be different from the heroes in reality." Ming at this time Yi said mockingly, "I think there must be something wrong, but I don't want to admit that the problem lies with me, and I don't want to admit that I lack the ability to behave in the world and the heart to understand the difficulties of others."

"I heard from Xiaojing that the relationship between you and your wife was very...unfriendly. And you are not only drinking, but also gambling outside?" Qiao Gancao asked.

"I was really an asshole during that time." Mingyi was full of self-blame and doubts, "But, gambling? Even at that time, I never gambled."

"I explained it to Xiaojing in this way." Xiaojing's mother sighed and continued.And Mingyi temporarily suppressed his doubts, and inserted a few words beside him from time to time as supplements.

After going through a period of turmoil, Ming Yi was involved in a dangerous secret incident by accident, and was rescued by Lie Que, who then recommended him to the Security Bureau.He has seen an unprecedented world, and rekindled his ambition, and he cheered up.

But in the eyes of Xiaojing's mother, it's not the same thing. She only thinks that Mingyi is doing some kind of unknown and extremely dangerous job.There is no way for ordinary people to view the hidden world in this way. Even if Mingyi explained the content and nature of his work to her countless times, it was as useless as pouring fine sand into a funnel. Impressions of unspeakable terror in the hidden world.

Later, one time, the warlock criminal Ming Yi was chasing attacked their mother and daughter out of revenge. Although this attempt was stopped by Ming Yi in time, Xiao Jing's mother made up her mind and took her daughter away from Ming Yi.

At the same time, in order to explain to her daughter the reason for her divorce, she also vividly fabricated the lie that Ming Yi is actually a gambler.Why not tell the truth?Because she is really worried that her daughter will be interested in those bizarre things because she is immature and fearless, so she will take the initiative to approach her dangerous father.Instead, it is better to make up a story that will make the daughter actively distance herself from her father.

And after the middleman incident, she realized that even if she left Mingyi, her daughter and herself might not be able to completely stay away from those indescribable horrors.Although from the point of view of a sorcerer, Xiaojing was just unlucky and just happened to hit him, but Xiaojing's mother was in a mess, and even wondered whether her mother and daughter might be contaminated with "dirty things" ", I want to ask my ex-husband for help.

"It turns out that Dad never gambled outside..." Xiao Jing said in astonishment.

"Huh?" Qiao Gancao sensitively grasped the doubts in time when he heard this, "The middleman incident happened in October, right? It's late December now, why did you delay coming to Mirage for two months righteous?"

"Because I forgot." Xiaojing's mother said complicatedly.

Yes, she just forgot.

She clearly made the decision to leave, but forgot about it the next day.In the same way that one would not care what one had for lunch last Wednesday, she "naturally" forgot that she wanted to ask her ex-husband for help because of her daughter's experience.The Liucheng Security Bureau probably only told her about Xiaojing's experience in the Ruins of Random Numbers because of their culture of emphasizing rules, and probably didn't think she had the ability to keep it in mind.In the final analysis, even the mother of the person involved is just an ordinary person who has no relationship with the hidden world.

It wasn't until the end of November that she finally remembered.

At the end of November, the Liucheng Mass Sleeping Incident occurred, and the number of victims exceeded 5000.Although it was also published in Liucheng's newspaper, it was still inconceivably not received the attention of the society.When she saw the news at night, she couldn't help thinking, "It's such a serious incident, why is it not valued by society like her daughter was at that time?" Then she suddenly remembered the time she was swept into the corner of her consciousness that decision.

She was immediately seized by an indescribable horror, and then she made up her mind that she must take her daughter to find her ex-husband in the morning of the next day.

And early the next morning, she forgot about it again.

Almost a month later, when she was browsing the web on her mobile phone in the morning, she found that when she entered the word "drowsy" in her input method, for some reason, a "sleeping event" appeared in the candidate options.She suddenly became agitated, and finally remembered the decision made last month.Then she didn't care about 21, she just woke up her daughter and immediately set off for Mirage.

In order to prevent herself from forgetting again, she also set more than ten alarm clocks on her mobile phone in a row, and wrote down the information she must keep in mind in the notes of the alarm clock.

Her original intention was good, but the timing was not very good.Because the day she set off with her daughter was the day the mirage was destroyed by the mist.

It is rare for ordinary people to have such bad luck. Usually, only warlocks like me and Qiao Licao would be so unlucky to choose such an opportunity to go to the mirage.However, perhaps this is the inevitable consequence of her approaching the hidden world with her own will.The mother and daughter were thus drawn into the thick fog.

Afterwards, a demon attacked the mother and daughter, and the two were separated.Xiaojing's mother desperately searched for her daughter in the fog-shrouded woods, but she couldn't find her. She even ran out of the woods in a daze, and then witnessed the mirage of destruction.

There were far more demons in the city than in the woods, and soon, some demons attacked her.

According to the normal development, she was going to die there just like that.But for some reason, her eyes suddenly went dark and she passed out.When she woke up, she had collapsed at the entrance of the shelter.At that time, Ming Yi happened to be returning to the refuge, and when he saw his wife who had been separated from him for many years suddenly appear there, he was so shocked that he suspected that he was dreaming.

"That happened three months ago." Mingyi sighed, "After that, I learned from my wife that Xiaojing was still living outside, so I went to the woods to search for it many times, but there was no result. I thought Xiaojing Jing probably won't be able to come back, I didn't expect Li Duoyi to save her and save my daughter...Although I have said it many times, I still want to say it again, thank you."

"Three months ago? Isn't it what happened today?" Xiao Jing seemed to ask subconsciously.

"The fog in the woods is very thick, so the time is also very disordered. Just the order of leaving is different, which will cause a big deviation." Qiao Gancao briefly explained to Xiaojing, and then said to Mingyi, " The reason why you can avoid this phenomenon is because you entered the woods from the city. As long as you use the time in the city as the benchmark to prevent time confusion, you won't be unable to return to the correct time when you return to the city. "

"Yes." Mingyi nodded.

I looked at Xiaojing's mother, "You said that you passed out inexplicably at that time, did any weird phenomena happen before the coma?"

"No, no." She shook her head.

"Anything is fine, no matter how subtle it is." I said.

"I have to say it... It seems that I caught a black and white shadow out of the corner of my eye." She said unconfidently, "But maybe I just remembered it wrong..."

"I've asked many times, but I just can't figure out what it is." Ming Yi sighed.

"Anyway, our family of three is finally reunited." Xiaojing's mother showed an optimistic expression, and gently grabbed Mingyi's hand, her eyes lingering on his face, "And this is a real reunion .Until now, I finally realized that in such a long time, I have never really understood you, and I have never really been with you. I'm sorry..."

"I should say I'm sorry. During the time I was fired, I treated you very badly." Ming Yi also held his wife's hand instead.

The couple seems to have finally moved over the gap in the past and reconciled with each other.Xiao Jing also looked at her father with admiration. As a daughter, she watched this warm scene and smiled involuntarily.

Qiao Gancao and I waited slowly for the warmth of the family of three. After a while, Mingyi asked about my affairs, "Li Duo, you made such a big commotion at the radio tower before, because you were fighting fanatics. ?"

"Yes." I explained my experience after I and others entered the mirage, and the current situation.

After listening, he said regretfully: "Sorry, I may not be able to help you much. Whether it is a way to cross the barrier of the sky, or a way to defeat the blood biting who may still be in the fog... I can only help you at most. You found Bite Blood, but..."

"I understand. I have no interest in suicide," I said.

Joe Licorice joked, "Really?"

"At least not now." I changed my words and continued, "In short, we may need your strength and intelligence in the future, and I hope you can assist within your ability. In exchange, if your shelter has something Trouble, I can also help you solve it within my ability. Is this okay?"

"Yes." Mingyi nodded.

Even though he knew that I was "Majin Leedo", his attitude towards me was always friendly.It occurred to me that although he was said to be a person who couldn't rub his eyes with sand in the past, it seems that he has not reached that point now.It should be the tortuous experience in the past that made him change.

Or what did Lie Que say in his personal letter?I curiously asked Mingyi about the content of the autographed letter, he smiled and handed me the autographed letter directly.I took it over and unfolded it, and the content of the letter was full of compliments that made me restless.Qiao Gancao also moved her head curiously, and laughed out loud after seeing it, and couldn't help but pat me on the back.

"Let's arrange a room for you first." Ming Yi smiled and stood up, leading us the way.
