"This is..." After a while, when the boy slowly opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was not the familiar ceiling of the laboratory he expected, which made him feel a little relieved, "I don't know... the ceiling?"

"Are you awake?" At this moment, an old man's voice came from the side. There was nothing special about the sound, but it inexplicably gave the boy a sense of intimacy. Hearing this voice, the boy moved and struggled to sit up.

"Qing....frog?" Looking at the old man in a white coat in front of him in a daze, the boy was stunned for a long time, and finally spit out a word from his mouth.

"...." Perhaps for a moment, the boy seemed to see a flash of helplessness on the old man's face, but then he disappeared without a trace.

No, right, right... The boy looked at the familiar old man in front of him, shook his head hard, threw the frog in his mind out of his mind and thought about it carefully. The old man's white coat looked a little different from those researchers... In addition, he vaguely remembered before he fell into a coma that he wanted to escape into a hospital, but was hit on the shoulder by a bullet... Looking back at the feeling different from the other bullets gave him, that special feeling of heat... It was indeed a sniper rifle? Then this... is a doctor?

Thinking of this, the boy was shocked. If he was hit by a sniper rifle on the shoulder, judging by the power of the Academy Urban Sniper rifle, he would probably have been half of his body blown away. He hurriedly moved his arm. What surprised him was that not only did he not have the situation he imagined, but even the wound was only slightly painful. The doctor could cure this level, thinking of some legends that the institute had heard and a vague impression of the previous life, made the boy think of a possibility...

"Are you... the soul chasing the underworld?" The boy looked at the frog-faced old man in front of him in disbelief, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

My luck...is too good!

"Well, some people call me that too." The old man nodded, turned his head and looked at the crowd outside the window that was still dark. His face, which was originally very funny because he looked like a frog, looked very serious at this moment.

"They... are chasing you?"

"Yeah." The boy was speechless and could only nodded quietly, and then hurriedly said, "I...I just wanted to come in and hide...I...I...I'll leave right away..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the old man waved his hand indifferently at him.

"The patient stays honestly in the hospital." The old man said without caring, "No one in this city dares to rush into my hospital and take my patients away."

The boy was stunned. He heard a strong sense of confidence from the old man's indifferent tone. What surprised him even more was the attitude of the old man towards him.

There is no preferential treatment or discrimination. It just gives people an unparalleled warmth in their hearts in ordinary attitudes. Just like an ordinary doctor talking to a patient, there is no change at all because of the dark crowd outside the window.

Even though he was a human being for two lifetimes, his mind had long been mature, but after experiencing such a huge psychological gap of joy and sorrow, the boy still felt a slight dizziness.

"I'll cure your shoulders for the time being." The soul chased the soul of the underworld looked at the boy with a hint of pity in his eyes. "The bullet has been removed, but it will take a few days to move freely. During this period, you can stay here first."

"Will I stay here cause trouble for the old man?"

"What trouble is this?" the old man smiled and waved his hand. "Save death and help the wounded is the doctor's duty, right? If this is all troublesome, it will desecrate the sacred profession of the doctor."

The boy was silent. Even so, if anyone paid attention, he would find that the light golden color in the boy's eyes lit up slightly.

"When it comes to this," the old man sighed, "What happened to that guy in Qing Palace... is there anything wrong?"

"Do you know my dad?" The boy suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at the old man with a bright look. The old man sat there without changing his face, just raised his hand and pointed at the boy's neck.

The boy was stunned and looked in the direction the old man pointed. At the neck, in addition to the cold metal collar, there was also a thin thread tenaciously tangling in the gap under the collar.

Gently pulling out the thin thread, the boy looked at the other end of the thin thread, silently.

A simple wood carving fish.

"That guy in Qing Palace, the most precious thing in normal times should be that fish." The old man looked at the old wooden fish nostalgic, and his fingers unconsciously pondered his wrists, "Those guys who are also wearing white coats are the cleanest."

Holding the fish tightly, the boy was silent, but his eyes were already red without realizing it.

"I have known that guy in Qing Palace for more than ten years." The soul-chasing man leaned on the armchair, "I am a friend who is interested in his appetite... What a pity. With his personality, I am afraid he really doesn't fit in the darkness, right?"

"Actually... I knew he would have this day sooner or later." The old man sighed deeply, "But I can't persuade him to blend in with the darkness. Even myself can only protect this hospital."

The boy's hands were clenched tightly, and the knuckles were creaking.

"But what are you going to do?" The old man turned his head and stared at the boy, "The child protected by Qing Palace with his life."

The boy originally wanted to say something, but when he heard "the child protected by the Qing Palace with his life", he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

This smart and kind old man had already used his methods to enlighten him.

"Don't be immersed in hatred, because it will ruin you." The old man's wise eyes reflected the boy's shadow, "Qinggong is a kind person, and I don't think his children will let him down."

"Dad, what do you want me?" After a long silence, the boy murmured, his voice hoarse and scary.

"Maybe it's like this fish." The old man was silent for a while, pointed to the small wooden fish between the boy's neck, and said softly.

"Like a fish?" The boy was stunned.

"It should be freedom." The old man sighed, "The fish enters the water, like a dragon returning to the sea. Although he knew how difficult it is to be true freedom in the academy city, he still hopes that one day you can become strong, strong enough to control your own destiny, and truly look at the first ray of dawn of this city."

"Free..." He lowered his head and felt the coldness of the metal between his neck. The boy's voice was slightly low, "Looking straight... The first ray of dawn?"

"It's summer solstice today." The old man suddenly smiled and flipped through today's calendar. "If it was the dawn, today should be the earliest day, right?"

"Summer Sora..." The boy's voice gradually became unheard. Just as the old man sighed inwardly and wanted to turn around and leave, he found that the boy slowly raised his head. What surprised him even more was that through the boy's black hair, he saw two increasingly brighter gazes, as if something with great power was slowly gushing out of this small body.

"Thank you, Doctor Frog." The boy looked at the soul-chasing face of the underworld seriously, and his light golden eyes slowly lit up. "I think, I know what I should do in the future."

"I will live well, and in the most free way, with my father's part, to live well!"

"That's good." The old man named Doctor Frog smiled, "By the way, what's your name? I'm going to make today's case!"

"My name is...Qinggong Zhixia!" The boy smiled, with the brightest smile on his tender little face, "Today, June 21st, is my birthday!"

"Is the Qing Palace rushing to Xia..." the old man smiled, "Good name, let's have a good rest next. Your injury has not healed yet. It's time to rest more." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned around again and stared at the boy with a serious look.

"If you take revenge, when your injury is healed, I can recommend you to meet someone."
