Chapter 1062 – The Beginning

　　Kayush Border Defense Company.

　　Su Zhe sat alone on the top of the dormitory building, wrapped in a heavy military coat, looking at the distant rolling mountains in a daze.

　　”What did I say, after searching for half a day in the dormitory, I couldn’t find you, so it turns out that you ran here alone.”

　　Ke Changlin’s voice came from behind him, he walked to Su Zhe’s side, patted his shoulder, and sat down in place, “Normally at this point, you should be lying on the bed huffing and puffing, right? Today this is something on your mind?”

　　Su Zhe helplessly smiled, “Sort of …… I just, kind of miss my mom.”

　　Ke Changlin quietly looked at him, waiting for him to continue, at this time, being a listener is far more appropriate than an opener, more appropriate.

　　”Back then, my mom was awesome, she was the best police officer in our city, she was beautiful, she fought well, two or three male police officers couldn’t beat her even if they teamed up, and most importantly, she also had a good hand at cooking.

　　Let me tell you, my mom’s pancakes are no worse than your Ana’s, really.”

　　As if Su Zhe remembered something, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

　　”Back then, our city and the police department of the next few cities were spreading the word that she was the God of Cooking police flower, my sister and I were the happiest thing at that time, was to have a parent-teacher conference, you don’t know, when my mom walked into the class gallantly wearing a police uniform, how scenic it was.

　　Even if every time I got the lowest grades and went home without a beating, it was worth it, after all, parent-teacher conferences are the kind of thing that is used to show off my mom for me.”

　　The smile on Su Zhe’s face grew wider and wider, he sat there giggling for a long time and fell into silence.

　　”What happened afterward?” Ke Changlin couldn’t help but ask.

　　”Later, she died, shot in the heart by a drug dealer during a firefight, didn’t even have time to enter the resuscitation room.”

　　Ke Changlin froze in place.

　　Su Zhe looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and a bitter color emerged in his eyes, “After my mother’s accident, my sister and I became dependent on each other, relying on the state’s subsidies and a series of preferential policies, we lived quite well.

　　During that time, I became more and more depressed, I didn’t go to school, I just stayed at home every day and ate and drank, like an invalid. But my sister was like a different person.

　　My sister’s favorite when she was a child, is painting and Latin dance, she is very good, very obedient, speak also warm and soft, but after that incident, she began to contact the extreme sports, she went to unarmed climbing mountains, over the desert, high altitude parachuting ……

　　For this reason, I also had a few big fights with her, you know, she never used to quarrel with me.

　　Now that stubbornness in her body, her eyes, are more and more like my mom back then, this time when I received the vigil …… cough, when I received the military transfer order, also, without hesitation, I put on my backpack, ready to go with the old mom back then, to shoulder heavier duties, to guard more people.”

　　Su Zhe paused and let out a long sigh, “But I don’t want her to be like this.”

　　”My mom has already sacrificed herself for the duty of guarding, I don’t want my sister to repeat her mistakes, I know it’s weak and selfish to think so.

　　But right now, my sister is my whole world, I’m not as selfless as they are in wanting to protect others, I just want to protect my sister, that’s enough.

　　Uncle Chang Lin, a person like me, even if I become a person who guards a side of the town, I am still just a selfish alien, I don’t have such a great and selfless conviction to protect my family and defend my country …… Perhaps, I’m not suitable for this place at all.”

　　Su Zhe said so many words in one breath, Ke Chang Lin did not interrupt a single word, he just quietly waited for him to finish and gave Su Zhe a complicated look.

　　He reached out his hand and knocked Su Zhe’s head.

　　”Silly boy, do you know that in the four words of protecting the family and defending the country, why is ‘protecting the family’ in front?” Ke Changlin gave him a big meaningful look, “You, just think things too complicated ……

　　To be honest, I really don’t have a high level of education, and my ideological consciousness is not as noble as you think, I only know that if this borderline is broken, then my Ana and my two younger brothers, will be in danger, and the reason why I’m standing here is to guard their safety, but these millions of small families together, isn’t that our country?

　　Without a home, where is the country? And without a country, where is a home?

　　If you want to protect your sister, then go. No matter what happens to her in the future, you’ll be by her side. To you, she’s the home you have to protect, isn’t she?

　　Besides, who says that people who come to the front line have to be great and selfless?

　　Next door dormitory that old Li, when he joined the army, ah, the intention is to want an iron rice bowl, back home after it is good to get a wife; opposite the second bed of that old Yang brother, he joined the army is simply think that when the soldier handsome ah, their era, is a boy are thinking of being in the army, tall and powerful, how good!

　　Were their intentions noble? Not really. But do you think they would have frowned when it came to sacrificing their lives on the battlefield?”

　　Su Zhe froze.

　　Ke Changlin patted him on the back with his hand, and reached out to point to the back of the Border Defense Company, the vast Daxia territory.

　　”People, they grow up, maybe we all gather here for different reasons, but every day when you look at the ten thousand lights behind the border defense, you’ll understand that since we’re standing here, there are some duties and responsibilities that we have to carry.”

　　Su Zhe is like a statue standing in place for a long time, the color of confusion in the eyes gradually faded, has been plagued by his heart knot unraveled, clear.

　　He had indeed thought too much.

　　He wanted to join the Night’s Watch just to protect his sister, so what? Who stipulated that one couldn’t join the Night’s Watch for the sake of his sister?

　　As for those duties and responsibilities after joining the Night’s Watch, he would just take them on, since he had chosen this path, no matter what the final result would be, he would never regret it.

　　Joining the Night’s Watch for the sake of his sister was not in conflict with being a good Night’s Watchman.

　　He took a deep breath, stood up from the roof of the building, and solemnly said to Ke Changlin, “Thank you Uncle Changlin, I understand.”

　　Boom–!

　　Before the words fell, a roaring sound came from the distance, and the boundary of the Time Silhouette instantly covered this border company, spreading towards the misty border to the west.

　　Under the coverage of the Time Silhouette, the mist once again returned to the way it was a hundred years ago, retreating dozens of miles outward from the border of Grand Xia, while its concentration was dozens of times that of the original, the pitch-black, ink-like body of the mist resembling a wild beast approaching the border, emitting a suffocatingly terrifying aura.

　　”The mist has receded? What’s going on here?”

　　Ke Changlin saw this scene and violently stood up from the ground, his eyes filled with shock.

　　He was about to rush down the stairs when a stream of light whistled past from the south along the border of the mists, a fat-headed monk stepping on an auspicious cloud, his face staring intently at the ever-approaching mists.

　　”The mists have an extremely strong restraining effect on gods …… Does that mean that by nullifying one’s godly power and falling back to a demon, one can avoid its stranglehold?” That monk muttered for a moment, turned his head to the east, and

　　”I also don’t know, when will Monkey arrive ……”
