Why it never ends

Chapter 622 A New Parting
She quickly replaced the old battery in the camera, and the old machine in her hand started working again.

Chiba skillfully opened the corresponding menu bar, and the only video in the camera was still well preserved.She put on the earphones, pressed play, and looked at her teenage self in the picture, with a slightly embarrassed smile on her face unconsciously.

Qianye leaned against the fence, staring at the screen intently.She always thought that she remembered many things of the year very clearly, but when those vivid details were presented to her again, she found that many of them were unfamiliar to her... It seems that only when facing the recorded past Only then can people suddenly notice the subtle changes in themselves.

Towards the end, Chiba looked at herself outside the camera and asked "Will you come?" Chiba tapped the screen lightly with her thumb, and the corners of her mouth sank slightly.

Chiba jumped off the high stool with the camera in her arms. She put the lens on another table, adjusted the angle for a while, and then walked quickly to an old-fashioned record player. Chiba put down the stylus, and the black film Start spinning.Immediately afterwards, the gentle drum beat and the familiar piano prelude entered Chiba's mind again.

"You will find me"

"In a sea of ​​dreams"

"I heard her voice"

"She laughed..."

Chiba closed her eyes and sighed softly, then unplugged the earphones.

The camera starts to play with full loss sound quality.

"I will take your word for it"

"Just like a good friend would—"

She grabbed the hanging wire of the camera and spun it around her fingertips a few times. Just as she was about to let go, a young female voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Hello!"

Qianye turned her head and saw a soldier standing not far from her.

"There are trash cans on the ship specially for dealing with electronic waste," the soldier said loudly, "Please take care of the marine environment and don't create marine waste!"

Qianye took a deep breath, and the camera in her hand turned around for the last time, and she held it firmly in her palm.

"...You're right," Qianye smiled, "I didn't think about it."

"Thank you for your cooperation," the soldier also laughed, "If you need, I can help you deal with the one you don't want—"

"No need." Qianye put away the camera and left the deck briskly. The soldiers stood there looking back, and Qianye even hummed a song after walking away.

The soldier was a little puzzled - what is this man... doing?

……

Twelve days later, the cruiser sailed into the northern port of the Fourteenth District.

Hesta no longer needs a wheelchair, and with a pair of crutches, she slowly followed the crowd to disembark.

Li Ke had already left an hour ago, and the separation came so suddenly that there was no time left to say goodbye.The two just said briefly to take care, and Hesta watched her leave from the deck.

At this moment, Chiba was carrying Hesta's accordion on her back, carrying her suitcase, and was waiting for her at the end of the stairs.

"What's the matter, you look a little depressed?"

"...I just thought that I could spend another night with Li Ke tonight."

"There's no other way," Chiba said without turning her head. "The situation in District [-] is a bit complicated. It will be more convenient for her to leave earlier."

"complex?"

"The fourteenth district government may want to completely take over the AHgAs organization in this area. All the mercury needles belonging to this area will be separated from the mercury needles in other regions, and will no longer accept the transfer, appointment, dismissal, and supervision of the headquarters... In short , Next, they will completely become part of the military establishment under the government army."

Hesta chewed a little ignorantly, she faintly felt that this was an extremely unusual signal, but she couldn't quickly figure out what it meant.

"But don't worry, your next identity is not Mercury Needle. You are a medical soldier who once participated in the rescue of civilians at the Mercury Needle Workstation - just an ordinary person," Qianye said quickly, "Last year you retired due to injury , according to the rights and interests of veterans, you will return to a livable place to continue your studies."

"my name is?"

"It's your own name," Qianye turned around, "or do you prefer to use a pseudonym?"

Hesta immediately shook his head, "...my own name is fine."

The two entered the Mercury Needle apartment near the port together. Chiba had already completed the check-in procedures. After signing, Hesta quickly followed her to take the elevator upstairs.

In the elevator, Chiba handed over a business card, "Remember this person's information."

Hesta took a look and saw the words "Yu Xuekun" written on it, and the person's number, email and office address underneath.

"This person is a clerk at the Orange Town Workstation and also my friend. When you arrive in Wusongyuan, contact her. She will assist you in completing the next cross-district procedures. In the future, you can meet any problems in your daily life. Contact her, she knows your identity." Chiba paused for a moment, "Any questions are fine, and she will completely stand on your side to help you."

Hesta raised her head, "Where is Miss Chiba going next?"

"I will disappear for a while." Chiba replied, "If you have anything to contact me, you can also pass it on to her first. I may not be able to reply to you when."

"Is it also related to the personnel changes in the fourteenth district?"

"Aha," the elevator door opened, and Chiba took a step forward, "There is nothing that has nothing to do with it right now..."

……

In the evening, Qianye left the apartment, and she took Hesta's accordion and all important luggage to Wusongyuan first. After that, Hesta only needed to find the clerk named Yu Xuekun to retrieve all the things... Her suitcase has been streamlined a lot.

This night, Hesta went out with a little cash to hang out, and the night in this port town was full of fireworks that she didn't expect.The streets are full of square tables, many people sit around drinking, and more people dance happily in the square.Hesta passed them to the sea.

She piled two crutches beside her, and sat alone on a stone pier by the water.Here is the other side of the town, the pier is dilapidated, only some small boats heaving up and down in the slightly moving waves.With the sea breeze blowing, Hesta felt very comfortable.

"Girl! Are you taking a boat?" A voice came from behind Hesta. Hesta couldn't understand what she was saying, but turned her head to look at the man.

"It's the last trip today, to Viborg!"

Hesta was still puzzled, and the visitor finally realized that she was a foreigner in front of her, but she did not give up, but continued to make gestures with Hesta.

"Vyborg! Have you heard of it? It used to be called the Vilyuchinsky Wasteland, but it has been designated as a livable land in the past two years. It's beautiful! It's so cheap!"

This time, Hesta's eyes brightened slightly, "...Viluchinsky? You mean Vilyuchinsky?"
