"Su Su, I've finished eating. Lao Liu and the others will arrive in half an hour. I'll pick them up." Gui

Ning Qinghou gently put down his chopsticks and stood up. He saw his son Ning Xiuyuan looking at him and said gently,

"You don't have to stay at home all the time during the holidays. You can also go out for a walk. You have never been to Changping and Chang'an. It is also a good opportunity to learn about the world by making an appointment with some classmates and friends to do a holiday trip and social survey.

"

Ning Xiuyuan just turned sixteen last year. He was already a student of Utopia No. 1 Middle School when he turned sixteen last year. Now it is summer vacation.

As Ning Qinghou's son, he inevitably received special attention in school, so he worked extra hard, hoping to become a good student and child as expected by the public.

His determination was also stronger than that of other children of the same age. When he was in his teens, he learned about the Chosen Death. In the following years, he lived in fear like other children of his age, but he

Be able to overcome the fear of the Chosen One, believe in the fear, and persevere in learning.

Teachers in the school praised him for his excellent moral character and academic performance, and encouraged his classmates to learn more from him. Elders who were familiar with him praised him for being sensible and polite, and asked their children to interact with him more.

Ning Qinghou, a father, rarely cares about his son's grades in school. He is always concerned about other things.

He cares most about his children's moral character, being honest, kind, trustworthy and harmonious. Secondly, he cares about keeping their children happy and avoiding unnecessary pressure as they grow up.

Then there are these things that cannot be learned in classrooms and books. When Ning Xiuyuan was still young, he would take his children to work in the fields and identify the crops in the fields. He would take his children to interact with all kinds of things.

People chatted with each other, practitioners, classrooms, craftsmen, and businessmen. Ning Xiuyuan was listening while he was communicating.

These are all part of social surveys.

If it were normal, Ning Xiuyuan would definitely agree happily and discuss with his father what goals and methods could be set to facilitate students to carry out social surveys, but today Ning Xiuyuan has other concerns.

"Dad, Uncle Mingjiang and the others are going out to pick up Zihao and the others, right? Are they coming back?"

"Yes, it's Zihao and the others." Ning Qinghou reached out and patted his son's shoulder. He knew his son was like a father, so he could probably guess what his son was thinking.

The children in the same batch as Xu Zihao were all born in the same year as Ning Xiuyuan. They are the closest in age. They grew up together and have the closest relationship.

If it weren't for Lu Chuan, Ning Xiuyuan would have been transported to the depths of the endless sea and swallowed by the Yasha who had fallen into madness.

Last year, before Li Qingfeng's daughter Li Xia was successfully prevented from traveling through time for the first time, a total of 15 people were transported through Utopia and children who were not in Utopia, including Lu Chuan's original consciousness.

After the consciousness of these 15 children was devoured by the crazy Yaksha, only three children's consciousness was not completely destroyed, but turned into a way of symbiosis with the crazy Yaksha and survived until now.

Utopia already knows who these three children are, which is why Xu Keming can accurately call out the names of the three children when facing the crazy Yaksha.

At the beginning, when there were more than 60 children in total, Lu Chuan really couldn't confirm which children were still alive one by one. However, as Lu Chuan's level improved and the number of questions he could ask every day increased, coupled with the cruel probability of choosing 3 out of 15, Lu Chuan

There are so many anxious parents who can't stand it, so they can only tell them the results in advance.

"Are it really true that only Zihao, Binbin and Shucai survived?" Ning Xiuyuan asked with some persistence. Although he was saved by Lu Chuan through fate, things like fate are too unmaterialistic.

.

"Yes." Marquis Ning Qing sighed, "Dad, you have to get there quickly. The news that Uncle Mingjiang and the others are coming back is not hidden from anyone. There will definitely be uncles and aunties who don't want to believe it like you and come to the airport."

This situation has happened before. The children in Dongji Mountain lost their shelter due to the death of their mother tree, which also caused the complete death of some children's consciousness. When the search and rescue team led by Tian Luyuan returned to Utopia, it also caused

Quite a commotion.

If they all come back or none come back, it doesn't matter. Some come back and some never come back. How can people bear such a disparity?

Moreover, the situation this time is more complicated than the last time. There are fewer surviving children and the time for the children to be transported is shorter. Many parents cannot accept the loss of their children. The most recent time for the child to travel was only a short time.

Less than a month earlier than Li Xia.

What's even more difficult is that these children don't know what happened when their consciousness was swallowed up. Their spirits don't seem to have entered the underworld at all, so that they can't be resurrected even with Xie Wan's talisman.

Ming Bai, the messenger of the Nether tribe who was "invited" to Utopia, said that he had never encountered such a situation. The souls of the deceased must have a place to go. If they did not go to the underworld, they would probably be devoured by Yaksha.

At that time, it was integrated with its consciousness.

"I'll go with you." His wife Ji Susu also sighed. There will definitely be many parents crying heartbrokenly at the scene. There are always some people whom Ning Qinghou cannot comfort. She can do it too.

Help.

"I want to go too." Ning Xiuyuan raised his head and met Ning Qinghou's eyes.

"Xiaoyuan..." Ji Susu frowned. Speaking of which, Ning Xiuyuan was also about the same age as these children. Their children were gone. Ning Xiuyuan's appearance at the airport at this time would inevitably make people emotional.

"Let's go together, it's okay." Ning Qinghou smiled gently and waved to Ning Xiuyuan, "They are other people's children, Xiaoyuan's childhood friends, partners, and good friends. Xiaoyuan feels the same way.

Likewise, no matter what the result is, you should see it for yourself."

When Ning Qinghou said this, Ji Susu said nothing and gently touched Ning Xiuyuan's head, and the family walked out of the room.

It was raining lightly outside the door. It was evening again, and the sky and the earth were even darker.

When a family of three drove the Yunsuo to the airport, there were already many people waiting at the airport. People were holding umbrellas and looking up at the sky. Some were full of expectations, while others clung to their expectations in despair.

...

Ming Bai saw the lights. Looking down from a high altitude, he could see the outline of a city, which looked special and charming in the dark night.

But he was a little afraid to speak.

After the plane approached Utopia, the people on the plane gradually became silent, especially Lu Chuan, Liu Mingjiang and others who had been talking to him. The smiles on their faces disappeared, and the enthusiasm for asking questions also disappeared, which made him couldn't help but

I began to reflect on whether I had said something wrong.

After thinking hard and not finding out what he said wrong, Ming Bai could only think of a guess.

Could it be that they are just like me, they just want to hang out outside and don't want to go home at all?

But this isn't right. Ming Bai could clearly feel how relaxed they were looking forward to going home, and how proud they were when they showed him all the good things in Utopia.

"Mr. Zhao, why don't everyone look unhappy?" Ming Bai thought that he still had to ask clearly. No one else was paying attention to him, so he could only ask Zhao Wuya, who was responsible for looking after him.

"Because some people may never come back." Zhao Wuya said softly. Now that he has a daughter, he can understand this emotion even more. If one day his daughter is suddenly transported through time, her original consciousness will

He couldn't accept being swallowed by a monster either.

Ming Bai understood this. Lu Chuan had asked him before about the fact that the children swallowed by Yaksha could not be resurrected. He questioned why these children had also entered the spiritual practice and had left pictures on the road. Why did their spirits not survive after death?

Enter the underworld.

How could he know that if he didn't go to the underworld, it means that the soul didn't reach the River Styx? There are many possibilities for the soul not to reach the River Styx, and not dying in this world is just one of them. Maybe the souls of those children have turned into this Yaksha.

Is there no way to separate a part of it?

He could understand this feeling. The uncle who opened the door to the new world for him had never seen him again after that day.

Although death is the final destination of all living beings, all living beings are actually trying their best to fight against this process. On this point, whether they are the underworld or the human race, everyone is the same.

"Perhaps I can ask dad after I go back. He might know more." Ming Bai also said softly.

"Then let me thank you on behalf of everyone." Zhao Wuya smiled, "We're here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the plane landed steadily under the strong control of vitality, and only slid for a short distance before stopping.

As soon as the cabin door opened, the first thing to do was to transport the unconscious Crazy Yaksha out.

Zhang Sanwen and Jiang Lingshan took over Crazy Yaksha together. They needed to separate the spirits of the three children from Crazy Yaksha as soon as possible. Ming Bai saw a woman rushing towards the unconscious Crazy Yaksha through the porthole. She looked like

He was about to beat it, but was stopped by others, followed by a burst of suppressed crying.

Ming Bai was a little at a loss. He had never seen other tribesmen cry in the underworld. He saw someone else hugging the woman. Whether it was the hugger or the hugged one, tears were dripping down.

.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sad. He clearly didn't know the person in front of him, and then he truly understood why Lu Chuan and others stopped talking so long in advance.

He was the one who should get off the plane next. Zhao Wuya signaled him to get up, and he respectfully obeyed, stood up obediently, and walked out of the cabin.

A few raindrops fell on him. This was the first time in his life that he had been exposed to rain. Then Liu Mingjiang instantly transformed into an umbrella, separating him from the rain.

He saw someone coming up to him, saying he was welcome as an envoy of the Hades to come to Utopia to communicate. Liu Mingjiang introduced him to him as the leader of Utopia.

Hey, isn't this the leader of the current group of humans? Mingbai thanked Utopia for the hospitality. He didn't bring any gifts at all. He simply gave them to him by stepping on a piece of driftwood on the endless sea.

Ning Qinghou said that this was a treasure brought from the underworld.

Marquis Ning Qing did not expose this bit of cleverness on his part, and accepted this tasteful gift, which was a gift in return for Ming Bai on behalf of Utopia.

On one side, the guests and hosts were happily welcoming the foreign guests. On the other side, Lu Chuan finally walked out of the cabin. He had always been extremely unwilling to face such an occasion. At this moment, two completely opposite emotions, numbness and relief, were entangled together.

.

"Lu Chuan, is there really nothing you can do? Do the math again. Can you do the math for me again..."

As he walked down the gangway, he heard a crying question. The aunt who was going to beat up the crazy Yaksha just now broke free from Zhu Xiusu's arms and was already in front of him.

But she had no strength to break free, but could not support herself. Lu Chuan quickly supported her, and Zhu Xiusu also followed, supported her body, and whispered, "Huizhen..."

Lu Chuan supported her, his hands trembling a little. This aunt named Huizhen, her son's time travel happened in August last year, even his birthday was after Lu Chuan, but Lu Chuan had just met her at that time.

When Luo Dingguo came into contact, he didn't even have time to touch on the matter of the Chosen One.

"Aunt Huizhen, please forgive me..."

When she heard these words, it was as if all her strength had been taken away from her. She fell softly into Zhu Xiusu's arms, her eyes still looking at Lu Chuan, but they had lost focus.

"Why didn't you come earlier..."
