Gun Kai
Chapter 151 Intersection Three
The streamlined seat tilted backward, and Li Chengyi leaned back, turning his face to look at the constantly rising scenery outside the diamond-shaped window.
Trees, grass, and flocks of birds flying in circles were gradually left behind by the aircraft.
"You came just in time." He retracted his gaze and looked at Rainbow Candy, who was sitting in the pilot's seat in front.
"I set off as soon as I got your call. If you ask me, why bother talking so much with these messy terrorists? Just blow them to pieces and be done with it!" Rainbow Candy took a bottle of yogurt from the small refrigerator with one hand and tossed it to Li Chengyi.
"It's different. That's Elysium." Li Chengyi replied.
"Elysium? Okay..." Rainbow Candy wanted to say something, but the name Elysium clearly stunned her.
The less you know, the more fearless you are.
And she happened to be one of those who knew a lot, so she had a very direct understanding of the power of Elysium.
"Where to now?"
"Did we shake off the lock?"
"I shook it off a long time ago, but the Sky Eye will start patrolling from time to time in a while, so it won't be so convenient then," Rainbow Candy replied.
Li Chengyi was silent for a moment.
"Wait a moment, I'll make a call."
He took out his phone and dialed his teacher Yu Long's number.
After two beeps.
The call connected.
"Master, I have a friend who is a Dead Angle person and wants to defect to the authorities. He's quite strong, but he's done some things that aren't exactly legal..."
He briefly mentioned what he had done as his small account.
His master Yu Long used to be a high-ranking training officer in the military, and perhaps going through this route could avoid a lot of trouble.
Yu Long listened carefully on the other end of the phone, then repeated a few key questions.
Finally, after thinking for a while, he replied.
"It's difficult."
He said in a deep voice.
"Actually, the things your friend did aren't much, and they can all be certified afterward. After all, many of those people and forces can have a lot of criminal records dug up, it just depends on whether the authorities are willing to arrest them.
At that time, give him a revised timeline and reissue some official documents, and everything will be justified.
After all, your friend didn't harm innocent people. That's a good thing.
The key lies in another point."
"Which point? Master, tell me clearly." Li Chengyi asked in a deep voice.
"He's a Dead Angle person." Yu Long said bluntly.
"This... is it very taboo?" Li Chengyi was silent for a moment and asked.
"It's not taboo, it's just that Dead Angle people have no value to cultivate." Yu Long replied, "The difficulty of the Dead Angle will increase over time, and none of the Dead Angle people can live long. Such people, no matter how talented or valuable, are just unstable talents, and the higher-ups can't invest too much energy in them. At most, they'll be used as consumables. They might even spend manpower monitoring them."
He sighed.
"Although our Yi Nation does a good job in protecting the people at the bottom, is people-oriented, and pays attention to humanitarianism. But Dead Angle people are different. National resources cannot be wasted on an individual who is destined to disappear.
So, from a personal point of view, I don't recommend your friend joining the authorities."
"But the Jiuyi anti-terrorism operation is about to be fully promoted nationwide..." Li Chengyi said halfway, and the rest was left unsaid, everyone understood.
"That's simple." Yu Long laughed, "Did you think the higher-ups didn't consider this? For people like your friend, there's a special review mechanism. Just register, express your willingness to cooperate with the military in fighting the enemy during wartime, and find a way to get some proof of loyalty, and there's basically no problem."
"I understand. Would killing a lot of Elysium's Complete Forms count as proof of loyalty?" Li Chengyi said.
"Of course it counts. Elysium cooperated with Bai Xing this time to assassinate Minister Zhou, and the royal family is completely furious. The high-level officials of the anti-terrorism department have been replaced by two, and all tasks have been taken over by Jiuyi. Alas..." Yu Long obviously knew a lot of inside information, but he didn't dare to leak any news casually, so he could only say half of it.
"Anyway, tell your friend to rest assured, at this juncture, killing Elysium's terrorists is the best proof of loyalty. Is there any proof?"
"I didn't dare to keep any, but there should be quite a few people in the local Union and the Security Bureau who know about it," Li Chengyi replied.
"That's okay. It must have been recorded, don't worry." Yu Long gave him a reassurance.
After thanking him, Li Chengyi hung up the phone and saw Rainbow Candy looking back at him curiously.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Cheng, I heard a little bit." Rainbow Candy's expression wasn't as carefree as usual.
"We Dead Angle people, sure enough, even the authorities don't care about us."
"Isn't your family treating you pretty well? There are still people in this world who care about you," Li Chengyi comforted.
"They... actually gave up on me too." Rainbow Candy paused and replied.
"How long have you known me? Have you ever seen my family?"
"..." Li Chengyi was stunned, he really hadn't seen them.
"Do you know what my family does?" Rainbow Candy asked again.
"...They don't let you say?" Li Chengyi frowned.
"My dad said, I'll give you a fixed amount of money, and I'll do my best to get you whatever you need. But the conditions are to give up the right to inherit property, and, you're not allowed to tell anyone that you're their daughter," Rainbow Candy said softly.
"Why?" Li Chengyi was puzzled. His parents treated him as always, only after he beat his sister did they not protect him as much as before.
But before that, it was still very good.
"Because I'm a Dead Angle person." Rainbow Candy smiled, "Dead Angle people can't live long, so they simply don't invest any more energy in me.
It's only because of the legal regulations on property inheritance, and some family affection from before, that they couldn't bear to give up on me directly.
A year ago, my mom signed a notarization with me. That way, my brother doesn't have to worry about anyone competing with him in the future."
"Then you're really miserable," Li Chengyi said.
"...Brother Cheng, you really know how to talk." The bubble gum in Rainbow Candy's mouth flew out of the window with a biu.
"Actually, most of us in this group whose families know are basically like this. Longmen Diao is similar to me, his dad brought his illegitimate son home, and he's basically given up on him now.
Da Xiong is slightly better, but only slightly. Her parents each play their own game, and both have illegitimate children outside, but because she's been excellent and sensible since she was a child, and also has business talent, she took over some of the family's industries very early, so she wasn't abandoned.
Da Hei and Xiao Zong don't need to be said, they came out to mix in society a long time ago, and their families died a long time ago. After it was discovered that they were Dead Angle people, they lost their jobs. After all, everyone is afraid that our group of people will go to extremes."
Li Chengyi listened quietly, never expecting that everyone in his small team had similar situations.
"At this point, which of us isn't just living one day at a time?" Rainbow Candy turned her head and said while driving the aircraft.
"Everyone is waiting for us to die. The higher-ups want to stabilize us and not let us cause trouble. Our families want to stabilize us and not let us implicate them. Friends and classmates look at us like monsters. They avoid us like the plague, afraid of being dragged into the Dead Angle themselves.
So you see. We are actually a group of people who have been abandoned by society..."
"I can feel it," Li Chengyi said.
"But there are also benefits to this." Rainbow Candy suddenly smiled. "Everyone is afraid of us. Afraid that we'll go crazy and die together with them."
Watching her smile, Li Chengyi also smiled.
He suddenly remembered what he said when he first established the team.
Now that he thought about it.
Perhaps it really touched Rainbow Candy and the others.
Dead Angle people are destined to be a group of people who are abandoned, but they also have emotions and desires, and they also yearn to be accepted and remembered.
Plant a flower for each of them, and if they die, bury their ashes under the flower.
That way, even if they die, there will always be someone who remembers them, and remembers them at the moment they see the flower.
This is also the origin of the Garden of Fate.
Now, it's also time to plant the flowers corresponding to them.
Li Chengyi made a decision in his heart.
"So, since no one accepts us, how about we accept ourselves?" He suddenly said softly.
"Brother Cheng, you're joking." Rainbow Candy faintly heard his meaning.
"I'm not joking, it's just that the Garden of Fate is a little bigger. Just plant a few more flowers." Li Chengyi laughed.
Rainbow Candy was silent for a moment.
"What if the flowers wither? Wouldn't that be very awkward?"
"With me here, they won't."
Li Chengyi stopped talking, turned his face and looked at the clouds floating outside.
Dead Angle people are just such a group of people, perhaps as long as you give them a little hope, a little sunshine, they can hug each other together, crowd together, at all costs.

Two days later.
Eternal Botanical Garden.
Li Chengyi slowly walked between the different greenhouse flower areas, looking at the surrounding swaying flower bushes, thinking about what kind of flower he should use as the main flower for the members of the Garden of Fate.
Many flowers, such as sunflowers, are actually not suitable as the main flower, because sunflowers are annual herbs, and they only have one year from birth to withering.
So you have to find flowers that can survive for many years.
Soon, he found a greenhouse area, specially isolated, as the main flower area for the team members.
After thinking about it, he got some floribunda rose branches from the rose garden on the side and directly inserted them into the soil here.
He wanted to do a test.
The rose branches were only arm-length, and there were still many unopened flower buds on them.
He randomly inserted them into the soil and fixed their positions.
Then, Li Chengyi stretched out his hand and gently touched the roses.
‘Flower Language · Glory Field.’
A trace of invisible gentle force field instantly covered the entire rose.
Zzz.
Soon, visibly to the naked eye, new buds began to grow rapidly on the rose branches.
The buds turned into branches, grew new leaves, and the flower buds slowly opened one by one.
The part inserted into the ground also obviously grew roots, and some roots even protruded from the soil, constantly crawling like insects.
Li Chengyi was also a little surprised.
He had also used the Glory Field to treat sick flower branches before, but none of them had such a good effect.
Obviously, this should be the effect of the thrice-evolved Glory Field.
Stopping the force field, he reached out and pulled out the rose branch, and found that many dense roots had grown below.
In that case, perhaps the team members can choose their favorite flowers themselves.
Li Chengyi's heart moved slightly.
He went to other places and tried some withered flowers. Under his treatment with the force field, they would immediately regain their vitality and reopen.
That is, he deliberately avoided the surrounding staff, otherwise, if people saw it, it would cause trouble again.
