Abaddon walked up and down the room, looking at the cheap electronic watch in his hand from time to time. The wristwatch has been used in many places, and many functions have been declared useless. However, time can still do it. Now, the number of 10:03 is on the electronic screen. Usually this hour, my son Langdon has already gone home. After dinner, he should play with his parts in the house, hoping to assemble a power machine one day.
But tonight, Langdon is not home.
This makes abedan very uneasy. He knows his son very well. Langdon has been very naughty since he was a child, but he is also very sensible and never does anything that worries his parents. It's never happened that he didn't come back late at night. Abaddon sighed heavily as he looked at the pictures of the three of them hanging on the wall.
In this ordinary family, abedan and his wife, ejiesha, are ordinary workers. They work 12 hours a day at a food processing factory in the suburbs, earning only a meager salary to support their daily needs. For the family, Langdon's birth undoubtedly brought happiness and hope to the family. Because when Langdon was born, he actually detected the precursor of his ability.
Abaddon still remembers how excited he was when he heard the news from the doctor. But as time goes on, this excitement gradually becomes a heavy burden. For an ordinary family, it can't support the cost of learning knowledge for an able person. This is why there are many able people in the common people, but their average rank is not high.
In addition to the limited potential, more importantly, they are not qualified to receive systematic learning and training. Although some people with civilian ability go to the wilderness and grow up on the battlefield relying on the identity of mercenary, it is very rare that they can be promoted to level 5 or above. After all, a lot of life is lost in the early stages when the ability is not strong.
And very few can survive this stage.
Abbedan did not let his son become a wild mercenary. He just hid the fact that he was capable from his son and raised Langdon as an ordinary child. Langdon had been playing with his parents in the factory when he was very young. For him at that time, the factory was more like his home and his playground. As for abedan himself, he quietly saves all the expenses he can save, and saves them little by little.
Abedang is not willing to let his son go on a common road like him. He thought that his son should have a wider world, so as a father, he did his best to create conditions for Langdon. Until this year, the conditions were finally ripe. When abbedan sent Langdon to menglia college, he will always remember Langdon's expression of surprise and excitement.
At that moment, Abaddon felt that his efforts for so many years had been rewarded.
Since then, Langdon's routine has been normal. Leave home at seven in the morning and come back at six in the evening. Sometimes he had a bruised face, but Langdon always had a smile on his face. Abaddong knew that he didn't want to worry about himself, and that it was not easy for a civilian to study in a college where more than 90% of the students were aristocrats. Since Langdon didn't say it, he didn't ask. Abaddon believed his son could handle it.
But it's a bit special tonight. It's past ten o'clock and Langdon hasn't come home yet. The darkness outside was like a mass of uneasiness in Abe's mind.
At ten twenty-three, the gate was knocked. Abadan looked at his wife, and they both saw the sadness in each other's eyes. Abaddon took a deep breath and strode forward to open the door. Outside stood a famous city guard, a man in his thirties. A little fat, but at the end of his middle age, he was already decapitated. The man asked abedang, ”Mr. abedang? Are you Langdon's father? ”
Abaddon nodded: ”I am. What's the matter with Langdon?”
”I'm sorry to tell you, sir. Your son had a traffic accident in the city. It's a serious accident. In a word... Please don't be too sad. ” The city guard patted abaddong on the shoulder and said to his back, ”bring the child up.”
Several more city defense officers came carrying a stretcher with a man lying on it. Still, see when a heart straight to sink. There was a vague syllable in his throat, and his wife, ejiesha, had snatched it out of the room. Then there was an earth shaking cry, and the whole person fell on the stretcher and began to cry.
Next, the city defense army didn't know what else to say to abedang. But abedan couldn't hear anything. There were only some empty sounds in his ears. He wandered to the stretcher, on which lay Langdon. Langdon opened his eyes and stared straight into the sky. His whole body was covered with blood, and even some parts of his body had been deformed, which was caused by blunt impact.
