Chapter 809: Training Camp Approaches
A few days later.
The day before the training camp began.
The long wail of a train horn echoed as a green train raced along the tracks toward Shangjing City.
By the giant square window, a young man sat lazily in his seat, his right hand propping up his head, gazing at the scenery flashing past outside while his mind had already drifted far away.
Just then, a boy, around six or seven years old, poked his head out from behind the young man's seat and reached up to yank on the少年的头发.
The young man winced in pain and turned around with a frown. The little boy stood on the seat behind him,好奇地揪着他的头发，发出咯咯咯的笑声。
"Are you sick?!" The young man's eyes flashed with anger.
"What's your problem?!" A woman standing beside the boy glared at him. "Kids don't know any better, they're just playing around. It's just a tug on your hair. What's the big deal?"
"You…"
The young man was about to curse when his peripheral vision caught the boy's稚嫩的面孔. After hesitating for a moment, he冷哼一声，turned his head away.
They were almost to Shangjing City anyway… No point arguing with a brat.
The young man thought to himself.
He leaned back in his seat by the window, gazing at the faint city silhouette in the distance, fatigue washing over him as he slowly closed his eyes…
Behind his seat, the little boy blinked and, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, reached out again, wanting to grab the young man's hair.
Suddenly, his余光瞥到了少年怀中紧抱的老旧背包，眼中浮现出好奇之色。
He reached out and,趁着少年沉睡之���，pulled out a document folder encrypted with multiple layers from the worn backpack, clutched it to his chest, and began folding a paper airplane.
The young man seemed to sense something and猛地睁开了眼睛！
The first thing he noticed upon waking was that his backpack had been opened. He turned around and saw the document folder that had been crushed into a ball in the little boy's arms. His pupils constricted.
In his mind, a volcano of anger erupted, his fists clenching involuntarily.
Boom—!
A low humming sound炸雷般在空中炸开。
At that moment, the speeding train carriage suddenly trembled slightly.
Sleeping passengers惊醒过来，有些不解地环顾四周。At the same time, the train飞速驶入隧道，整个车厢陷入一片黑暗。
In the pitch-black darkness where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face, a pair of angry scarlet eyes slowly opened.
The young man had, somehow, stood in front of the boy who had been crumpling the documents.
"What… are you doing?"
Those crimson eyes stared into the boy's eyes, like a furious beast sizing up its prey.
The boy was scared witless.
The boy stared at those eyes as if seeing something terrifying, and let out a wail, crying loudly!
Everyone was drawn to the miserable cry and turned to look.
The train emerged from the tunnel, light returning to the carriage.
The dazed woman saw the young man standing before them and screamed shrilly again:
"What do you think you're doing?! Who told you to come over here?! Get away!"
She seemed to have been frightened by those eyes too. She grabbed the crumpled document from the boy's hand and hurled it at the young man's chest. It bounced off and rolled to the floor at his feet.
"It's just a bag! What are you trying to do? Bullying a little kid? He's innocent, are you innocent too?!"
The woman's shrill voice echoed in the young man's ears. The fire of anger in his eyes burned brighter.
"What do I want to do?" The young man coldly smiled. He bent down and, like a demon, spoke chillingly:
"Want to take a guess?"
Boom—!!
In the middle of the speeding green train, a surge of flames suddenly erupted. A piercing braking sound rang out as one carriage of the green train detached from the others. Wheels ground against the tracks, sending up a shower of sparks.
The woman clutched the terrified boy as they sat in their seats. The entire front of their carriage had vanished, as if some invisible hand had torn it apart.
On the wilderness, this carriage, trailing thick smoke, gradually ground to a halt.
All the passengers inside, whose belongings had been scattered by the gale, sat frozen like statues. The demonic young man had already vanished without a trace.
Outside the carriage, somewhere in the wilderness.
The young man clutched the crumpled documents, casually glanced at the destroyed carriage, and walked alone toward Shangjing City.
He opened the document folder and pulled out a form.
At the top of this form, several large characters read: "Night Watch New Recruit Training Application." And in the applicant name field was written a simple, unassuming name:
Lu Baoyou.
…
Shangjing City, Squad 006 headquarters.
Li Zhenzhen dragged her luggage trunk to the gate of the courtyard house, bit her lip, and looked back.
The other members of Squad 006, except for Shao Pingge who was at a meeting and Yuan Gang who was busy preparing for training, all stood smiling in the courtyard, watching her.
"I'm… leaving?" Li Zhenzhen's eyes reddened.
"Yes." Zhang Zhengting nodded slightly, smiling. "Safe travels."
"Zhen Zhen, take care of yourself at the training camp."
"That's right, Zhen Zhen. We can protect you here in Shangjing City, but once you're at the training camp, you'll only have yourself to rely on."
"If we get the chance, we'll come visit you at the training camp."
"Work hard with your training, and graduate with the best results. That way you can come back to the Shangjing Squad, and we'll be teammates again!"
"Go, Zhen Zhen!"
"…"
The members of Squad 006 waved farewell to Li Zhenzhen.
Li Zhenzhen watched them, her eyes growing red again. She abruptly turned her head so her tears wouldn't fall, and with all her strength, dragged her heavy trunk toward the other end of the alley.
When she reached the end of the alley and could no longer hear the voices of Squad 006, her tears finally couldn't be held back any longer. Like two trickling streams, they rolled down her youthful cheeks.
She looked back one last time at the faint courtyard in the distance.
When she came back next time, who knew what it would look like…
Perhaps by then, the Squad 006 she knew would be gone, replaced by a brand new team she wouldn't recognize…
The courtyard was still that courtyard. As long as Great Xia endured, it would always be there.
But the people living inside might have already gone their separate ways.
Li Zhenzhen wiped the tears from her eyes, determination flickering in her gaze. Facing the morning sun at the end of the alley, she stepped forward.
"I'll take care of myself…" she murmured to herself. "You all… take care too."
