After leaving the training ground of Somus noble college, soshyang, who was preparing to board Lei Ying and go to the winter palace to deal with some affairs, saw a wandering figure at the gate of the college.

He didn't know the man, but his instinct told him that the man was looking for him.

In a sense, the kind of thing that the person represents is something he has been deliberately avoiding.

"Go and see him."

Gently, a hand rested on soshyan's shoulder.

"You should know who he is. Avoiding is not a soldier's choice."

Sol's soft voice made soshyang determined. He jumped off the suspended thunder eagle and walked to the gate of the college in the surprised eyes of everyone.

There were bald men sweating, slightly fat and wearing Nathan Xinggang work uniforms.

He has been wandering at the gate of the college for several days. The guard once wanted to drive him away, but under the sign of the senior management of the college, this behavior was not carried out or let him in.

Very few people know who he is.

Seeing the star soldiers coming with heavy steps, the gate guard immediately raised the iron fence gate and stood respectfully on both sides of the gate.

The man, seeing the person he expected, hesitated, hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to enter the door.

Finally, soshyan came to him.

An extraordinary angel and a poor mortal face to face is like a absurd play.

The man took out a greasy handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead. Facing an astat so close has caused great pressure on his spirit.

But compared with others, he has more reason to talk to each other at such a close distance.

After putting the handkerchief back into his pocket, the man held his hands rigidly, bent down and said tremblingly:

"Don, cousin..."

His voice was very light, but it was enough to make the surrounding guards look sideways. They shook neatly at that moment.

But for soshyan, it's really strange to be called brother by people other than astat.

Soshyan meditated on the mystery of family, which is a bond that mortals can no longer understand once they become astat.

Usually, their fraternity in the regiment is described as a family.

The word "brother" itself is a member of the family?

However, father, mother, son - soshyan is not so far away from human nature that he understands that those things are completely different.

Although their feelings were alien to him.

"You --"

Soshyan raised his hand slightly, but put it down again.

He can't even remember the man's name.

"Cousin, I'm nerio. I was only 6 years old when you left."

Looking at the man's sincere face, soshyan didn't feel a sense of closeness caused by blood.

"Nerio, what can I do for you?"

Soshyan tried to soften his tone, but it sounded stiff enough to nerio, which made him a little discouraged.

The expected happy meeting was torn to pieces.

Perhaps the angel, as rumored, was far away from humanity in order to protect the Empire.

"Cousin, i... I want to tell you something, something that happened after you left."

"Sorry, but I'm busy now. I have a lot to deal with."

"No, no, no!"

Nerio waved his hand and said in a defiant tone:

"You must listen and have a look!"

Soshyang frowned immediately

————————

In the arixie family cemetery, looking at the tombstone that has been honed for some years, soshyan fell into deep meditation.

Here lies his father - not the "father of genes" in the sense of the war group, but the father who contributed to the birth of his body and accompanied him in mortal years.

Nerio stood beside him and said with some disappointment:

"After your cousin left, my uncle began to indulge in the study of family history. He forgot to eat and sleep. He finally fell ill ten years ago and was seriously ill, but he refused any life support devices and was still studying the ancient history of the family."

As for the man lying in the tomb, soshyan could only scrape bits of debris from the fragments of memory.

Neat beard, greasy pipe, and the lingering smell of ink.

But no matter what happened before, he is now dead and has become a dead bone in the grave.

That's it.

Only this——

Soshyan felt the ring on his chest again. Although it had always been on him, it was rarely felt. Soshyan always deliberately ignored it.

He blinked and whispered:

"She --"

Later, soshyan didn't know how to say it for a moment. Nerio was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized who soshyan was referring to.

"Aunt, she..."

Nerio sighed.

Later, nerio led soshyan to his former home, which is now a deserted house full of vegetation.

Two old servants in the house fell to their knees when they saw the towering astat appear. When nerio said the identity of the giant, they were stunned.

"It's... It's master soshyan!"

"Master soshyan is back!"

Soshyan looked at the two wrinkled faces, but there was no memory in his mind.

"My cousin came back to see my aunt."

Hearing nerio's words, the two quickly got up and led them behind the house in front of a simple church built of wood.

"Since the young master left you, my wife has prayed for you day and night. Whether she is ill or lost her husband, she doesn't stop all day. After the master died, she even moved your old house to the church and lived in it."

An old servant said, and tears trickled down.

"She misses you so much, but she doesn't dare to say it. She can only pray to the emperor for your safety. Many people say she's crazy. She's a crazy woman, but madam..."

"She is now..."

Soshyan interrupted each other.

"How about..."

The two servants looked at me and I looked at you and shook their heads.

Finally, it was nerio who told the truth.

"Five years after her uncle died, her aunt also fell down. She only slept four or five hours a day and spent the rest of her time praying. In addition to other diseases, her organs have been seriously exhausted... The doctor installed a primary life support system for her, but said she could only last for three years."

Then nerio choked.

"But a year ago, the doctor said that her aunt's brain had died and her life support device had been removed, but she... She insisted and was still breathing, but her mouth could not speak, her eyes could not see, and she had no feeling of touch."

Soshyan didn't speak, but walked forward and gently pressed his hand on the wooden door.

After taking a deep breath, he carefully pushed the door open
