The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

At the same time.

Above Nanjing Wuzhong High School.

The roar of helicopters once again drowned out the night wind.

With the crisis involving the demon race resolved, the curfew in the city was temporarily lifted, and returning fighter jets and helicopters continued to fly over the playground.

Searchlights swept down in a crisscross pattern.

The entire playground was illuminated as brightly as day.

The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army set up a cordon, keeping the students in the outer circle.

The students from Class 9 also returned one after another.

Some of them still had demon blood on them.

Some people were holding the seized materials, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets with laughter.

But at this moment, no one dared to speak loudly.

Because there was a figure standing in the center of the playground.

Yes, Lu Ming.

He had been waiting there for a long time, his back straight, but his shoulders were very tense.

A helicopter slowly descended from mid-air.

Everyone knows.

The sister that Lin Fan and Lu Ming had been searching for for ten years was in that plane cabin.

"Boom!"

The propeller whipped up a fierce wind.

Lu Ming looked up at the searchlight that was getting closer and closer, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

He searched for her for ten years.

He is about to reunite with her.

But when the moment actually came to meet him, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

The thought that it was all because she lost her younger sister that year caused her to suffer so much was unbearable.

His heart began to ache in waves.

Guilt and self-blame enveloped his entire being.

The searchlight stung his eyes.

In a daze, he seemed to see the look in his parents' eyes before they left.

He was still young then.

But he patted his chest and said that he would take good care of his younger sister.

I will protect my younger sister very well.

But now?

"Dad, Mom..."

Lu Ming's Adam's apple bobbed, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he held them back.

"sorry."

"It's my fault for not taking good care of my little sister."

"After I have completed my mission in this life, I will personally go to you two and kowtow to confess my sins."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The strong wind blew away the tears welling up in his eyes.

Lu Ming suddenly came to his senses.

The helicopter has landed.

He turned his head and quickly wiped the corner of his eye.

When he turned back, he tried to force a smile, a stiff one that was almost clumsy.

Ten years of blood and fire in the military had long since made this young man forget what a smile was.

But today is the day my sister comes home.

He wanted her to see her brother smiling.

Even if the smile is ugly.

"Splash—"

The hatch opened.

Lu Ming rushed forward almost immediately.

His gaze passed over the Zhenguo Army in the cabin and landed directly on the stretcher.

Just one glance.

The tears he had just suppressed almost burst forth from his eyes again.

My sister was lying there.

The clothes she was wearing were originally supposed to be white.

Now it's a dull yellow, so old that you can hardly tell what it was originally like.

Lu Ming remembered that piece of clothing.

They hadn't separated that year.

While picking up bottles next to a trash can, he encountered a family moving and throwing away a lot of unwanted old clothes.

He squatted on the ground and rummaged through the clothes for a long time before finally picking out the cleanest one.

That was a birthday gift he gave to his sister.

The clothes are very long.

My father used to say that it's better for children's clothes to be a little longer.

It can be worn for several more years.

But ten years have passed.

The dress looked loose and baggy on my sister.

Her hair was dry and yellow, her cheeks were sunken from thinness, and her wrists were so thin that people dared not touch them.

He was curled up in the stretcher, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in years.

Lu Ming's gaze gradually turned cold.

"Someone come here."

A soldier from the Zhenguo Army immediately stepped forward and bowed to receive the order.

"Mars!"

"Investigate for me."

Lu Ming stared intently at his sister on the stretcher, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Over the years, who took my sister away, and in whose house has she been kept?"

"All materials."

"Investigate everything thoroughly!"

When the last few words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to chill.

"yes!"

The soldier's expression turned serious, and he turned and quickly left.

Lu Ming then turned his head and looked at Lin Fan, who was sitting next to the stretcher.

"Lin Fan".

How is my sister doing now?

Lin Fan glanced at the girl, his expression unusually serious.

"The situation is very bad."

"Her bone age is close to sixteen, but due to long-term severe deficiencies, her physical development has probably only reached the level of a twelve or thirteen-year-old."

"In addition, he was previously threatened by the Blood Fox and had a symbiotic curse implanted in him, resulting in severe mental exhaustion."

Lin Fan paused for a moment, then softened his voice.

"Normally, it would take at least one or two months of rest before it's possible..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

His voice suddenly stopped.

Lu Ming frowned and looked at Lin Fan.

"Only then what is possible?"

next second.

A hoarse, almost inaudible voice gently entered his ears.

"elder brother……"

Lu Ming was suddenly jolted.

He lowered his head stiffly.

The girl on the stretcher slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes were originally dull and gray, as if they had long since lost all hope for this world.

But the moment she saw Lu Ming's profile, light suddenly shone through the darkness.

Very faint.

But it was like the light she had finally seen after waiting for ten years in the darkness.

"Jiu Jiu..."

Lu Ming's voice suddenly went hoarse.

Lu Jiu looked at him with red eyes.

She wanted to raise her hand and touch her brother's face.

But she was too weak.

I tried to lift my fingers several times, but I couldn't actually lift them.

Lu Ming suddenly bent down.

But the moment he touched her, he released all his strength.

He grasped that thin, cold hand and carefully pressed it against his cheek.

"Wine."

"Brother's here."

"I'm here!"

Lu Jiu looked at him, tears streaming down her face.

"elder brother……"

"I miss you so much……"

"When you're not here, they all bully me..."

"boom--"

It felt like something in Lu Ming's mind had completely collapsed.

The echo of the propeller still lingered in my ears.

But at this moment, Lu Ming couldn't hear anything.

He couldn't hold back any longer.

Large tears fell down, landing on Lu Jiu's cold hands.

The man who had never bent over in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the North was now kneeling before the stretcher, crying like a child who had done something wrong.

"sorry……"

"sorry……"

"It's because I'm late..."

"Jiu Jiu, I'm late!"

The silvery-white microspheres in mid-air have not yet been removed.

The whole country witnessed this scene.

The dense barrage of comments in the live stream paused for a moment.

Then I was completely overwhelmed by words that sounded like weeping.

"Baby Lu Ming, don't cry... You tried your best too, Auntie will give you a hug."

"Who were those human traffickers back then?!"

"Find them for me! I'll make sure they suffer a terrible death!!"

The outer circle of the playground.

Many students secretly lowered their heads and wiped their eyes with their sleeves.

The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army stood ramrod straight, but all of them had red eyes.

Lu Jiu watched as her brother cried, his shoulders trembling.

She moved her fingertips with difficulty and gently wiped away the tears on his face.

"elder brother……"

"You've worked hard..."

After saying that, the light in her eyes slowly faded.

He fell into a deep coma again.

Like that "brother" just now, it was just a hallucination caused by my own desire to hear it so much.

Lu Ming stood frozen in place, motionless.

Because that faint touch was still there on my face.

That was not an illusion.

His sister did wake up.

I actually called him "brother".

And I really did tell him.

You've worked hard.

Lu Ming lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he gently released Lu Jiu's hand.

She tilted her head back, took a deep breath, and wiped away all the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When he looked down, he was the brother who had lost his sister ten years ago.

When he looked up, he saw the God of War who could strike fear into the hearts of the demons of the Northern Frontier.

Just then.

The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army who had just left ran back quickly.

His face looked terrible.

His voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Mars……"

Lu Ming turned around.

"explain."

The soldier gritted his teeth and bowed his head to report.

"Found it."

"For years, Lu Jiu has been imprisoned by the Zhou family in Jinling!"

"The Zhou family is no good. The entire clan, men, women, and children, are secretly involved in human trafficking!!"

boom--

The lights on the playground seemed to go cold at that moment.

Lu Ming didn't speak, but slowly tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife.

next second.

A blood-red blade intent surged skyward.

The entire city of Jinling heard the voice of the God of War.

"Seal off the entire Zhou family!"

"Tonight, leave no one alive!!!"

--------

Damn, I cried buckets while writing this.

She was writing and crying at the same time.

Just one or two more for the transition, and tomorrow the main plot of Yan Cong will begin.

By the way, thank you very much, Baozi.

A gift from Sweet Romance Dreamland (I can't type that symbol) [Bonus Chapter! yay!]

Love you!

As for frequent updates... cough cough, I've quietly started a new book, and now updating 10,000 words a day is already exhausting me.

Let me see if I can squeeze in another chapter.
