The next day, as soon as Wu Qiao went out, he heard that two people had died last night.

There is a depressive atmosphere everywhere.

Many people are talking, some of them are really very uncomfortable, and some are pretending to be very heavy.

It is said that one of them was killed by the other, and that person also committed suicide after killing.

"It's weird," someone said.

"It's not too surprising to think about it, Imos is mad." Another said, "It's too unlucky and unlucky to be killed by him-who would have thought of encountering such a thing on the way back?"

"Why did you take that road? It's a pity that he died."

"Who said no?"

"But... Imos is just a teacher, he's a soldier... How could Imos **** the gun?"

"I think it's okay. That road is darkened, who can see someone coming? When you are suddenly slammed by someone, you may have to react to it. This will be succeeded by someone. After all, I am in the dark. ."

"I still think something is wrong..."

"Wait." Wu Qiao called the two of them, "Where did the thing happen?"

"It's the'Forest' side."

Wu Qiao only felt his head numb, and he hurriedly asked the other party, "When did it happen?"

"I heard it was about zero o'clock?"

"..."

The forest...zero point...Su Yiqing happens to be in that place...

There was a terrible guess in Wu Qiao's heart, but he dared not ask, for fear that the guess would become true after asking. In many cases, what you are afraid of will come. His mood is a bit like watching a ball game when he was a child. Which team he liked would lose, so he didn't dare to watch another game later, for fear that he would not be able to win when he went to see the team he liked. In fact, everyone knows that there will be no real relationship between the two.

Wu Qiao told himself to relax.

Relax and ask casually, maybe you won't hear the bad news.

He tried to adjust the expression on his face, and finally, finally assumed a natural look and asked: "What's the other person's name?"

"The other one?" The two thought for a while, "This year's newcomer, but I don't know him well... it seems to be called..."

He can't remember. That guy only joined this year. Although he used to speak on stage as a representative, he hasn't been in the limelight since then. This is different from Wu Qiao, who likes to be the most pushy. It didn't take long before Wu Qiao arrived at the base that everyone knew him.

"what is it call?"

"...Su Yiqing?"

Wu Qiao stood there as if struck by thunder.

Su Yiqing?

Su Yiqing had an accident last night? After they said goodbye to each other, something happened to Su Yiqing?

Killed by that Emos after going mad? !

He really can't believe it!

How is this possible? !

After failing to dial Su Yiqing's communication number, Wu Qiao ran into the woods like crazy.

He ran violently along the road, the branches scratched his skin, and blood flowed out of his arms, but he seemed to be unaware of it, so he kept running on the road.

He hopes that the road is shorter so that he can learn the truth quickly, and he hopes that the road is longer so that he can always keep hope.

He saw the crowd from a distance.

There is a mess, and many people are busy.

At this time, Wu Qiao stopped.

His chest was undulating, with a heart hanging in the middle.

Wu Qiao closed his eyes and prayed in his heart, don't be him, don't be him... He didn't believe in God at first, but at this moment he is begging for the gods he knows all over the place. When he begged, he also said that if his friend was okay this time, he would believe it religiously in the future. It seemed that he had never expected that even if a certain **** played a role, he could not tell which one to believe.

Wu Qiao promised to do more good deeds. After reading a few times, he took a deep breath, opened his eyes suddenly and walked over.

Then, he saw the face of a good friend.

Su Yiqing's eyes opened wide.

Someone next to him was saying that he was dead to death.

Wu Qiao felt that his heart suddenly fell in the ice cellar.

His head was dizzy from time to time, his eyes went dark, his knees softened, and all his consciousness instantly drifted away. The two people next to him couldn't hold him back, so he knelt down on the road.

The moment he fell to his knees, he regained consciousness.

It's really Su Yiqing... But how could it be him? !

Wu Qiao stared at Imos bitterly.

Go crazy enough to kill innocent people? !

Wu Qiao only felt that Imos's body made him nauseous, so he looked away and never looked at it again.

After making some psychological preparations, Wu Qiao looked at Su Yiqing's side again.

He had to look at his friend one last time, because he would never see him again.

However, at this moment, he discovered a very strange thing!

Su Yiqing's fingers look strange and unnatural.

Because it was a little far away, Wu Qiao carefully observed it again. That's right... Su Yiqing's right thumb and index finger circled into a circle, in the shape of an "O". The **** was stretched straight, because it was too hard to look stiff, and the ring finger was stretched straight, but not as long as the middle finger. As for the little finger, it is hidden behind the ring finger.

According to Wu Qiao's understanding of Su Yiqing, this gesture must be meaningful.

Su Yiqing's left hand seemed normal.

Yes... Wu Qiao knew that Su Yiqing must be suggesting something to herself.

So, what does it mean...

The circle around the thumb and index finger should be an "O". There is nothing wrong... the **** is so long and so straight... is it a lowercase "l"? The ring finger is also straight but not the longest...Is it "i"? The little finger is hidden, there is no hint.

O...l...i...

Oli...

Wu Qiao frowned.

Oli...?

What did Su Yiqing want to say before he died?

It stands to reason that it should be the murderer... but Imos spelled "Immers", which is totally wrong.

Could it be that there is something else hidden in his death? Oli is the first three letters of the murderer?

Is there such a person on the base?

Wu Qiao searched carefully in his mind, but didn't think of it for a long time. He felt that the answer was on his lips, he must know such a person, but at this time his head turned slowly, and he couldn't remember it no matter what he thought.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that a name "sweep the ground" flashed through his brain.

Olivier! !

"Olivier", not a single word!

Wu Qiao felt a little confused.

Wasn't it not Imos but Olivier killed his friend?

But why did Olivier do such a thing? Wu Qiao had no idea that Su Yiqing had offended Olivier.

Then... there is another possibility... Wu Qiao placed his sight on another corpse.

Imos is also dead...maybe...that's the target?

The more Wu Qiao thinks about it, the more reasonable... Su Yiqing was in a bad mood after the quarrel last night, and decided to change his mood temporarily. He probably just happened to bump into something.

But why did Olivier kill Imos?

Wu Qiao knows that Imos is a cryptanalyst, and is currently under the order of Darrell to thoroughly investigate the communication records of the base owner, looking for documents that may contain another layer of meaning in the conversation.

Could it be that the traitor was afraid of being found out, so he killed Imos... Su Yiqing was killed when he hit the scene? Moreover, without leaving fingerprints, the traitor took out four bullets from Su Yiqing’s pistol and filled it into his own gun, pretending that Su Yiqing was killed by his own bullets, and forced Imos to hold it. Su Yiqing's gun and pulled the trigger, creating the illusion of "suicide". Wu Qiao knew that the base bullets were not numbered, only batches, and their bullets were probably of the same batch. Imos was just a civilian and had no strength to resist.

Olivier! !

Wu Qiao's heart was burning with raging anger, as if he could burst his chest at any time.

Olivier is the traitor, which is really a terrible speculation.

Wu Qiao did not dare to express his doubts directly to Darrell, and after a long time of thinking, he dialed Ji Yao's communication number.

"That..." Wu Qiao said, "Ji Yao."

"...Wu Qiao."

"Something happened around midnight..." Wu Qiao wasn't sure if Ji Yao knew it already.

"Yes... it's him." Ji Yao's voice was soft and distant.

"Ji Yao..." Wu Qiao didn't know how to comfort him, because it seemed irrelevant. This kind of pain lasts a lifetime, and you can only suffer it by yourself. People who have never experienced it will never understand it.

"I'm fine." Ji Yao said to Wu Qiao automatically, "Don't worry about me."

"Ji Yao..."

"Is there anything else?"

"That..." Wu Qiao hesitated, and finally said, "There is one thing I think is wrong..."

He still feels that he should tell Ji Yao, because if there is an inside story, Ji Yao has the right to know all the truth-has the right to know how Su Yiqing died, and has the right to decide what he wants to do to punish the real murderer.

He can't hide such a big thing from him just for fear of touching the wound.

"Do you think there is something wrong?" Ji Yao repeated it, and then asked Wu Qiao back, "Do you mean that he gestured before he died?"

"...!!!" Wu Qiao felt a little surprised, but soon he felt very normal, Ji Yao, after all, was Su Yiqing's lover.

"So, what do you want to ask?" Ji Yao asked again.

"I want to know... Does that gesture mean... Olivier?"

"I think so."

"..." Wu Qiao asked again, "Do you mind if I report to Major General Darrell?"

Ji Yao said: "It should be."

"Ok."

"No... I should say, please do this, because I really don't have the mood to do this."

"take a good rest."

"If I can rest."

"..."

Wu Qiao went to report to Darrell.

Darrell didn't believe it.

However, after two incidents, Darrell did not dare to underestimate the feeling of Wu Qiao.

Wu Qiao's feeling is really accurate. In Sheng Chongguang's time and the last time he "total attack", everything Wu Qiao said was correct.

"...Okay." Darrell said, "I will try him."

"...Hmm." Wu Qiao said again, "If it is indeed him...before detaining him, you can use him first."

Use Olivier to completely defeat the opponent... For example, let the opponent think that they will send troops one day, but actually suddenly launch a general attack before then, of course this requires good deception skills.

"I understand." Darrell nodded.

"Also... the base is still... full coverage monitoring... Now this will give people a chance to take advantage of it."

"…I will consider."

"Then... I'm out."

After going out, Wu Qiao thought for a while and walked to find Ji Yao.

At such times, he still had to accompany Ji Yao.

After arriving at the hospital, Wu Qiao found that Ji Yao was not there, so he went to the "Forest" to look for it.

It has been cleaned up over there, and the two bodies are gone.

"..." Where will Ji Yao be?

By the way... Wu Qiao suddenly thought that Su Yiqing's room...

He rushed into Su Yiqing's room.

Sure enough, Ji Yao sat on Su Yiqing's bed, staring into the distance blankly.

Wu Qiao called Ji Yao.

"Wu Qiao." Ji Yao moved his eyes to Wu Qiao, "I'm really fine."

"How could it be okay..."

"Okay," Ji Yao said again, "it's very sad."

Wu Qiao looked at the person on the opposite side, and really didn't know what to say.

The two of them have been together for so many years, and the other has long been like air, but now, if the air is drawn away uncontrollably, it must be a feeling of suffocation, painful as if it can't breathe.

"It's my fault..." Ji Yao said again, "I shouldn't have quarreled with him. If I don't quarrel with him, he won't leave at that time."

"You... don't blame yourself too much, who would have thought that this would happen?"

"I can't apologize to him." Ji Yao lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were long and dense, "The cold war was frozen forever, and he had regrets when he left. I, too, will be sorry for him. Restless all my life."

"Ji Yao!"

"Do you know Wu Qiao," Ji Yao said again, "because of my appearance, from before to now, everyone around me thinks that I will definitely be happy in the future... I will find a very, very good and most outstanding partner. Spend a lifetime together, others can only envy."

"..."

"As they talked, I took it seriously."

"..."

"So..." Ji Yao lowered his head, Wu Qiao saw a drop of tears falling on the bed, "This ending I... really didn't expect..."

Ji Yao is a proud person, and at this moment he is trying to endure his emotions.

"Ji Yao." Wu Qiao reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, "Don't do this...he...he will be fine in another world, and you will be together in the future. In this life, he is only separated temporarily. He is going to explore the way first. Up."

"Yeah." Ji Yao seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, he lowered his head and said to Wu Qiao, "Wu Qiao, can you go out first?"

"Okay." Wu Qiao looked at him worriedly again, "You...you will be fine, right?"

"Are you afraid of me doing stupid things? Don't worry, I won't seek death."

"…Oh."

"I still need to help you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Help me?"

"Yes." Ji Yao raised his hand and wiped his face, not to keep tears on it, then raised his head to look at Wu Qiao, "I have to help you."

"What...what do you mean?"

Ji Yao smiled again: "Wu Qiao, do you know that if you want to realize that dream...many times it is absolutely impossible to rely on you."

"…why?"

"Why?" Ji Yao said, "because you are too idealistic."

"..."

"At that time, when I graduated from the military academy, I asked Su Yiqing where we should go. He thought about it and said that we should go to Wuqiao. Anyway, wherever we go, it is the same. It’s better to help Wuqiao guy in the past. Wu Qiao probably won’t do it on his own. ."

"I..." Wu Qiao didn't feel insulted, he was only very moved in his heart.

He couldn't help thinking, how can he make so many good friends? He is an annoying person, why is it worthy of friends to treat him like this? He felt that he was not worthy of them at all.

Ji Yao said again, "I know to help you... The only wish of Su Yiqing that I can fulfill, so I will definitely realize it for him. However, I don't know how much I will achieve... I didn't plan to do it before. Seriously, but now it’s all different, although you may not like my way sometimes."

"Hey..." Wu Qiao didn't want to entangle himself with the other party for too long, "Then, don't be too sad, pay attention to your own body, and you can call me at any time."

"Will do."

The next day, Wu Qiao went to Su Yiqing's room again, but this time he did not see Ji Yao.

I heard that Ji Yao has been sitting in Su Yiqing's place, not eating or sleeping, but if someone talks to him, he is quite gentle.

Later, Su Yiqing's roommate came back and saw Ji Yao sitting there. He didn't intend to rush people, but Ji Yao apologized and left on his own initiative.

Then in the middle of the night, Ji Yao went over again, but this time he didn't sit still, but took back all Su Yiqing's things.

"..."

Wu Qiao went to Ji Yao's again.

Ji Yao is deleting something from the computer.

He lost control in front of Wu Qiao before, but now he was completely calm.

"What are you doing?" Wu Qiao asked.

Ji Yao took a pause in his hand, but quickly resumed his action, "Retiring all art groups."

"Ok?"

"They are all study groups for art appreciation." Ji Yao said as usual, "When Su Yiqing was by my side, in order to discuss things he likes with him, I added a lot of such groups. But now... it's never again. No use."

During the conversation, Ji Yao withdrew several more.

About a minute later, Ji Yao looked at the empty group list on the communicator and exhaled, "It's finally quiet this time."

"Ji Yao..." For some reason, Wu Qiao felt that Ji Yao was about to cry when he was doing these things.

After thinking for a while, Wu Qiao picked up something on Ji Yao's desk and changed the subject, "What is this?"

"..." Ji Yao said, "Su Yiqing... a painting that he intends to give me."

"..."

"You took it upside down, there is a picture on the other side of the board."

"...Oh." Wu Qiao turned it over and found that it was a portrait in a very abstract style, and it should have been painted like Ji Yao.

"Do you know the content of our quarrel?" Ji Yao asked.

"Yeah. I know."

"This is... the birthday present he prepared for me when he dropped the group activity yesterday... My birthday is today. He wants to draw a picture for me."

"…I am sorry."

"Wu Qiao," Ji Yao said suddenly, "you really don't have to worry about me anymore. Although I am quite young, I dare to say now that there will be no worse days in my life than yesterday. I have experienced the most painful thing, and it will be better in the future. You see, today will be better than yesterday."

"Ji Yao..."

"I also figured out a bit... how do you say that sentence? People have sorrows and joys, and moons have eclipses and eclipses, which has been like this since ancient times."

Hearing what Ji Yao said, Wu Qiao could only sigh again.

…

—After returning from Ji Yao, Wu Qiao felt very uncomfortable. He was also cold and uncomfortable everywhere, as if he was about to suffer a serious illness.

Just now, when he said that Ji Yao's eyes were severely swollen, Ji Yao asked him if he knew that the tears seemed to be sticky and could stick to the eyelashes so that the eyes could not be opened.

Wu Qiao couldn't help but want to curse, this **** life.

He was not as hit this time as last time, and I don’t know if it was because he had already experienced it, or because he didn’t see the scene with his own eyes this time. However, he felt very scared, fearing that this kind of thing would never happen. Stop.

He has an urge to destroy his current life. He has been struggling between persistence and escape for two days. He has told himself rationally to persist, but emotionally he really wants to be a deserter and escape from the army, even , Escape from the world.

He talked about this idea with Tan Yan-because Tan Yan can always untie the knot in his heart.

Tan Yan didn't say much, he just said, "This is an exploit of life. Don't bury yourself in it. Your friends don't want this."

Then, after only one day, Tan Yan came over.

"You..." Wu Qiao didn't mean to call him at all, and he didn't know what to say, "Why are you here."

Tan Yan stared at Wu Qiao for a long time, then finally turned his head and said two words: "Passing by."

"...Oh." Passing by...that's fine.

"Just passing by... so come and see you."

"I have nothing to do."

Tan Yan frowned: "Don't you want to see me at all?"

"No."

"Not what?"

"No... I don't want to see you." Wu Qiao said a little hard. In fact, it's the opposite.

"I don't know the friend you lost this time, am I?"

"Yes," Wu Qiao replied, "you don't know."

Tan Yan fell silent and said, "You can tell me about this person in the future."

"...Okay." Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan and asked hesitantly, "Admiral, you...look like you are a little tired."

"...Some." Tan Yan replied, "the recent situation...really not very good."

Wu Qiao looked at the person in front of him.

He suddenly thought of Sheng Zhongguang and Su Yiqing. These friends are so alive when they get along. At that time, they thought that those happy days could last forever. However, suddenly there was one day, and the world was turned upside down.

Such a thing... will it happen again?

Wu Qiao wondered if he had the fate of losing friends.

"What are you thinking about?" Tan Yan asked.

"...Admiral." Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan's face and asked, "You will...live until the end of the war, right?"

"..."

"Please...please..." The emotions that had been accumulated in my heart for three days but did not vent suddenly began to mess up, and tears poured out inexplicably. Wu Qiao was incredibly fragile at this time. Begged, "please...please...don't...have disappeared..."

I must not lose my trace from this world...

Tan Yan stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from Wu Qiao's face.

But the tears grew more and more, and the more Tan Yan wiped Wu Qiao's face, the more flowery he was. In the end, he had to sigh and pull the other party into his arms, making him rub all of his clothes.

"..." Wu Qiao couldn't stop as soon as he touched the other's shoulder.

Tan Yan kissed Wu Qiao, but Wu Qiao didn't respond.

"I promise you." Tan Yan hugged the person in his arms, "I won't leave."

"really…"

"Really." Tan Yan said again, "I will always be by your side."

"If you lie..."

"If I lie..." Tan Yan paused before saying, "If I lie, you will never fall in love with me, okay?"

"..."

"You know how much I like you, this oath is poisonous enough? If I fail to do it, I will make you fall in love with someone else and be happily with that person."

"..."

In Tan Yan's eyes, this is the best.

If he lied and died in the war, then please punish him. Punish him that he will never be loved by the one he loves, and that he will never experience the pain of losing his love.
