Super Soldier

After dinner, Xiao Bing invited Lil Bei out for a drink. The amount Lil Bei drank was more than that of Xiao Bing. After seven or eight bottles of wine, Lil Bei’s face was red and he looked at Xiao Bing, and grinned, “Brother Bing, in your opinion, will you see me next time?”

“Why won’t I see you?” Xiao Bing smiled. “Relax. I might settle down in Jiang City. Whenever you can come out, look for me anytime.”

“I mean…Maybe one day I will be like Sister Peiya.” Lil Bei grinned and said, “Dead.”

Xiao Bing’s eyes were gloomy, but Lil Bei did not notice the difference in Xiao Bing’s expression. He continued to speak, “Anyone who does this kind of job may die at any time. Every moment may be the end of life. If I am not there, I will never be able to come back to see you… all of you.”

Suddenly, Xiao Bing, like a volcano erupting, thumped the table and said loudly, “I don’t care about others, but you can’t die!”

Lil Bei was stunned, and people around them also looked over at their table.

Xiao Bing gritted his teeth, “Peiya is dead, Old Lei is dead, and you are now the most important brother around me. I can’t allow you to die!”

Lil Bei smirked and said, “I was just making an analogy.”

“I don’t want such an analogy in future.” Xiao Bing was angry. “Who are you? Who are all of you? You are not allowed to die, all of you are not allowed to die.”

Lil Bei said, “But when you were our captain, every time before performing a task, you told us that the task could be the last mission in our lives, and we should enjoy every minute of every day, as if it was the last minute of life.”

Xiao Bing was jolted and he fell silent. He said, “Maybe… maybe I am old, and my heart is also vulnerable.”

“Oh, actually, I am also vulnerable.” Lil Bei grinned. “If it were before, I wouldn’t have been sentimental about this, but now… I seem to have fetters.”

“Fetters? Xiao Bing was surprised. “What are your fetters?”

Lil Bei did not answer and he said to Xiao Bing, “Brother Bing, promise me that you will take good care of Xiaoxiao. She is a poor little girl. Her sister is gone, her father is gone, and even her mother will not be alive in two years, but the poor girl does not know about it now.”

Xiao Bing was surprised, “Is your fetter Su Xiaoxiao?”

But thinking about carefully, it was normal. He and Su Xiaoxiao had been together for so long. If you have been in contact with a girl like Su Xiaoxiao, who looked like an iceberg, for a long time, it was normal to fall in love with her.

Xiao Bing took a deep breath and assured him solemnly, “Relax, I will definitely protect her, no matter for whom.”

“Yeah.” Lil Bei said, “In fact, Xiaoxiao likes you.”

Xiao Bing said, “I already have Yezi.”

“I know.” Lil Bei grinned. “Emotional things, I am not qualified to blame anyone and I can only remain silent, I just don’t want her to be hurt. Brother Bing, I used to do whatever you told me to do before. I would never refute anything. But this time I want to say that if you don’t like her, then don’t let her suffer, don’t provoke her. If you like her, then treat her well.”

“I know, I know.” Xiao Bing hurriedly said, “I will do so.”

“Yeah.” Lil Bei raised his glass and said with a smile, “Brother Bing, I will come back to see you later, as long as I am still alive.”

Xiao Bing frowned, “Your words are unlucky. Come on, let’s have a drink!”

They clinked cups and then drank the wine in the cups.

After drinking for a while, Lil Bei had already drunk too much. Xiao Bing also felt a little dizzy. At this time, Xiao Bing’s cell phone rang. Xiao Bing walked out and looked at the phone, and his face changed. His fingers hovered over the answer button. He hesitated and did not know if he should take the call.

The caller had made a call to Xiao Bing three and a half years ago, when Xiao Bing left Dragon Teeth. In the past three and a half years, the two of them had never contacted each other again. This did not mean that Xiao Bing was indifferent to the caller now. On the contrary, after three and a half years, when Xiao Bing received his call again, his mood still fluctuated. He did not know how he felt, maybe uncomfortable, grateful, rancorous, joyful, expectant and nervous… a whole series of emotions was running through him now.

Xiao Bing took a deep breath, and finally answered the call.

At this moment, in a church in Europe, a tall, handsome and hawkish white man walked out of the church. This person looked gentle and dressed like an elegant knight. He even had a sword hanging from his waist. After he walked out of the church, from time to time, there were foreign beauties who were attracted to his looks and pointed at him suggestively. He walked straight across the street, then continued walking farther, till he stopped outside a remote cabin.

The cabin was located in a courtyard. There were various kinds of flowers and trees in the yard. After walking to the door of the cabin, he stood motionless. Then he bent in a humble and courteous manner. He said, “Childe, you wanted to see me?”

Surprisingly, the words spoken by him was in Chinese.

It was silent in the cabin, and there was no sound inside. The man waited quietly, unhurriedly and did not move at all.

Finally, someone inside spoke, “Is the investigation clear?”

The person talking in the cabin was also a man. His voice seemed young, as if he were eighteen years old but he gave people the feeling that he was about 80 years old. After the voice came out, the Eagle was surprised to find that sometimes he thought he was in the sea of fire for a while. Only the one in the cabin could control one’s thoughts by sound alone.

“Yes.” The man said respectfully, “One death and one injury. The injured one has already fallen into the hands of Feng XIII.”

“Good. In your opinion, what is he going to do?”

The man thought for a moment, then cautiously said, “He seems to have been unfaithful to Childe.”

“Rebellion?” The man inside the cabin was not angry, but smiled. “Have you finished the business I arranged?”

“Yes, I have finished it. I have already passed the message to Dragon Teeth of China. I just don’t understand. Mr. Buddha, what can the two men be used for? If they are really useful, let the people of Buddhism do it directly. Why bother to use the Dragon Teeth?”

“Do you think that is an unnecessary move?”

The voice inside did not sound happy or angry, but the man felt chilled as he broke out in a cold sweat, and dared not speak again.

“You don’t have to be afraid. I also feel that it is an unnecessary move. But I have a deep meaning for this matter. If Dragon Teeth was told about this matter, the person who can complete this task in Dragon Teeth is probably the only old trump card—the Master of the Dragon Gate.”

The man understood at this time, “Mr. Dragon?”

“Yes, Mr. Dragon. The only one who can be regarded as having the same status as me?”

The man showed some disdain, “The same status as you? They do not know how powerful you are.”

The speaker in the cabin was the legendary Mr. Buddha, and the man who talked with him was of course, a member of Buddhism.

Mr. Buddha said slowly, “Cathaysian State will not sit still and watch this thing happen. They must send the strongest trump card they have ever had. Only in this way can they guarantee to finish 100% of the task. The relationship between Mr. Dragon and the above leaders has been in a very troubled stalemate. If that’s the case, it will be good for me to help him; it will give him such an opportunity to find fulfillment.”

The man asked, “So, does Mr. Buddha think that Mr. Dragon can make it?”

“If he can’t do it, then he will not be worthy of being the same status as me, and as far as I know, his current strength has always been one step higher. A Feng XIII can’t stop him.”

“I get it.” The man was puzzled. “In this case, why should Mr. Buddha give him such an opportunity? Should the relationship between Mr. Dragon and us be as an enemy, but not a friend? I don’t understand.”

“You don’t need to understand. Some things are not what you can understand in the naked eye sometimes. In the end, Mr. Buddha is just a mortal, no matter what level he reaches, and ultimately he is in my hands. And he is just a very, very useful piece. Then it is none of your business now. Um… It seems that you were happy when you came.”

The man was shocked, but he replied respectfully, “I am really happy.”

Mr. Buddha asked, “Feng XIII was a person from R country and I hate R people, but I have to say that he is very useful. He betrayed me, and you are happy, right?”

“Yes.” The man said, “Because of this, I will have the opportunity to be a part of the eight Buddhist generals.”

Mr. Buddha laughed. Hearing Mr. Buddha’s laughter from the heart, the man also breathed a sigh of relief. Because Mr. Buddha was a man who could take his life back just with his backhand. No matter how powerful he was, he was vulnerable in front of Mr. Buddha.

Mr. Buddha said, “Very good. I’m so delighted that you can be so ambitious. Aldrich, I will announce that after the death of Feng XIII, you will be one of the eight Buddhist generals. But not now, let them continue to play the scene. Now that Feng XIII wants to cheat me, then we will pretend that we don’t know anything. Let them play and sing and perform, we will watch the show and wait until he dies. At that time, I will announce this again.”

Aldrich said with great joy, “Thank you, Mr. Buddha.”

“Well, you can go now. Stay here, and wait for my summons.”

Aldrich bent over and slowly left. When he arrived the yard, he realized that he had broken out in cold sweat!
