The ship has stopped,

Probably having received an order from his superiors to return to the sea, Fang Ran walked in the corridor in front of the deck, listening to the hustle and bustle of the crew coming through the steel pipes.

This is to be expected, the Palace of the Night, entrenched in Europe, could not allow ordinary people to approach the North Pole at this time.

Breathing slowly, I could feel the closer I got to the doorway of the deck in front of me, the more cold breath came.

If you take out the Crimson Queen or call Veronica, you should be able to move on.

But forget it, it's just the difference between morning and night, and they can't be involved in their own affairs with huge losses.

Finally, after confirming all the prepared things in the black box, Fang Ran lowered his black eyes and felt that he had not met such a calm mind and planned to do something stupid for a long time.

Longyearbyen is about 1,300 kilometers from the North Pole, and after more than half of the sailing time so far, it still needs to overcome at least a distance of more than 500 kilometers.

Raising his chin, his hand reached into the collar and pressed the switch, the light of the Closed One's Generation Zero lit up slightly on Fang Ran's body, the activation of the thermostatic life support system eliminated that trace of coolness, and the battle with Volta made him completely believe in the power of these future technological equipment.... Or should I say his own power.

Pushing open the door of the deck hard, he couldn't feel the cold air flow instantly blowing his broken hair,

The moment the dense starry sky of the Arctic night unfolded in front of you, the cold and magnificent gave a shock deep into the soul,

made Fang Ran lose the ability to speak all of a sudden.

The black eyes watched this scene with some distraction, and then a voice sounded on the side of the deck in surprise.

"Sir, it's you!?"

Surprisingly, this sentence is in Chinese that Fang Ran can understand.

Turning his head unexpectedly, he saw the appearance of black eyes... It was a somewhat pale young foreigner in a thick white plush coat.

"You... Know me? ”

Fang Ran subconsciously dispersed his black eyes and slowly opened his eyes to look at him incredulously, not expecting that someone would know his appearance here.

"Yes, that night three days ago,"

Listening to Fang Ran's answer, the pale foreign youth, Kerim smiled lightly.

"I'm on the same flight as you, sir."

His eyes were slightly abrupt and then slowly recovered, Fang Ran exhaled a white breath and looked at him and smiled:

"I see."

"I'm also in first class, and I happened to see you, sir, subduing the gangsters, please allow me to express my gratitude."

Hearing him say this, Fang Ran walked to the side of the ship on the deck beside him, looked up at the starry night sky with no lights, and then looked at the young man beside him who had not gone to sleep at this time.

He has a rather handsome face, even Fang Ran, who is different from Western aesthetics, can see that this young man has a smooth and smooth outline like a knife, and the eyes behind the glasses he wears have a quiet and charming charm, but for some reason his face is a little pale and pale.

"It's okay, I just happened to run into it,"

Standing on the edge of the deck of the North Sea Ice Ocean, looking at the quiet Arctic Ocean sea at night, above the sleeping iceberg is the starry night sky, holding above the cold guardrail and asking him:

"It's so late, don't you go to sleep?"

"I was going to sleep, but I suddenly had some insomnia while lying in bed, and... It's rare to see the night sky of the North Pole, isn't it? ”

Fang Ran saw that Kerim smiled at him, a very kind and ordinary smile, not much self-esteem, and it seemed that unlike his excellent appearance, this was a gentle, approachable young man.

"Is the night sky of the North Pole..."

Fang Ran looked up at the sky again, he had never seen such a grand and gorgeous sea of stars, and the beauty of the night was set off to the extreme under the silence of the North Pole.

"yes, it's really rare..."

If I hadn't been a participant, I might not have been able to see the night sky like this for the rest of my life.

In a quiet trance, Fang Ran suddenly felt a very wonderful feeling,

Because you see...

He was now in the North Pole, on an icebreaker about to return home, with a low temperature of more than minus 35 degrees, and he was standing in front of the railing of the deck with a complete stranger.

Let's look at the night sky of the North Pole together.

It's incredible...

So Fang Ran suddenly wanted to chat with him, in the North Pole... and this foreign young man he didn't know at all when he first met,

It's good to say anything, because he doesn't know when the next time he'll talk to someone.

The night breeze blew the hem of his clothes, and the shattered ice floe on the sea floated silently, Fang Ran turned his head to look at Krim and asked softly with some curiosity.

"Why are you on this ship, are you an employee on the ship?"

Shaking his head, Krim was slightly silent, then looked at Fang Ran and replied with a somewhat complicated tone:

"No, I'm actually a researcher, and I originally wanted to come with someone else this time,"

His smile seemed to Fang Ran to be a little depressed for some reason, and his eyes looked at the sea surface of the Arctic Ocean in his sunken eye sockets and smiled slightly:

"But that lady suddenly had something to do in Oslo, and then she happened to see the news of the icebreaker, so I came up with some connections."

"Then you may be disappointed, because the ship is returning tonight."

Fang Ran looked into his eyes, saw that Krim's eyes widened slightly, and then his expression was complicated to return to calm, and he lowered his head to look at the fence of the North Sea Ice Ocean and whispered:

"That's a pity...."

"Why did you come to the North Pole, for scientific research?"

Fang Ran turned around and leaned his arm on the railing, raised his head and looked at the peaceful sea of stars,

Two young men who didn't know each other's names were chatting on the side of the deck fence of the North Sea Ice Ocean.

One stares at the sea of ice, the other looks up at the starry night...

"Why did you come to the North Pole?"

Krim propped himself up, stared at the far north, and then lowered his head to hide a bitter chuckle:

"Maybe it's because I want to see it with my own eyes..."

Fang Ran's eyes were slightly stunned when he looked at Xinghai, Klim's voice was obviously beside him, but it sounded a little distant.

"It may seem strange to say this myself, but for as long as I can remember, there has been someone who has given me probably the highest level of education in the world."

"But although many people say that he is a genius, in the eyes of that person... Or in the eyes of those people, I'm just a joke of failure that doesn't matter. ”

Kerim also felt a little incredible, these things obviously he didn't want to say or tell,

But at this moment, maybe it was because he was in the lonely North Pole, or maybe it was because the long-term depression had finally reached the limit, but in front of this strange black-haired young man, he unconsciously said that he couldn't stop.

"He wanted me to be, but I couldn't."

"So...."

Forcefully tearing open the thick scarf that made his breath uncomfortable, Krim looked at the north farther away than here, still felt out of reach, and felt tired and whispered:

"I want to go there and see what it's like to be out of reach that I haven't become."

Fang Ran's eyes slowly widened, and then he silently turned his head to look at the pale young man.

Under the starry night of the North Pole, he didn't know how long he was silent before he spoke softly:

"So you gave up?"

Kerim shook his head and smiled silently:

"Because I know that it is really unbelievable beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it cannot be achieved by simple things such as hard work and talent, and it is unattainable on the other side of reality."

"I've spent more than 20 years of my meaningless life understanding this fact."

Fang Ran looked at him silently, he didn't expect what he said to be this kind of thing.

Out of reach....

They were silent in the night, and they seemed to be thinking about their own affairs with each other, and then the black-haired young man took the lead in exhaling softly, and said abruptly and calmly:

"I know a man who died not long ago."

His eyes lowered for a moment, Fang Ran raised his head and wondered if the man had turned into a star, and then he also let out a long breath, as if talking to himself.

"He had a woman he loved, and his memory was full of her shadows, and he did a lot of hard work for this, even to the point of being crazy enough to become a villain, dirty his hands, and desperate,"

Krim looked at the black-haired young man beside him who was talking to himself in a daze, his eyes were calm and complicated for some reason, and then he saw Fang Ran turn his head to meet his eyes and say a calm word.

"I persevered for half a century, just to see that person."

Then Krim watched as he turned his gaze back, his eyes lowered, and his tone couldn't make out what kind of emotion was spitting out words that made the listener a little desperate.

"But he didn't see him when he died."

Fang Ran had a quiet look on his face, and continued to speak as if his tone had not fluctuated:

"After that I went to ask the woman, and she calmly replied to me that she would never see him at all because she didn't love him."

Speaking of this, Kerim saw the dark youth beside him and laughed softly, but there was no smile in his lowered eyes.

"Then I knew that even if that man persevered for a long time and paid more, even if it was another half a century, he would not be able to succeed, and the person he loved was really out of reach for him..."

The black-haired youth said this as he straightened up and walked towards the front of the deck.

"But what he does is meaningless, doesn't he know that she actually doesn't love him, and keeps chasing people who are out of reach, and his life is in vain?"

Kerim watched as he walked forward step by step, muttering to himself what he had whispered in front of the figure in the dark blue dress one night in the Arctic night.

"I don't understand love, and I don't know the determination to give half a century of my life for an impossible goal, but..."

Walking to the front of the deck, Krim saw the figure of the black-haired young man under the night of the North Star looking back at him, his eyes black.

"At least from him, I get even the most unattainable goal, even in the far north of the world,"

"For the sake of those who are extremely important to you, you can also have the courage to go."

The silver dragon wings spread out on his shoulders, the jewels on his collar reflected the moonlight, and the sight of dark eyes and clothes standing at the end of the icebreaker deck under the icy night sky was imprinted into Krim's shocked eyes!

"So that's the only thing I can tell you without any doubt as long as that's what you want,"

A second before watching him flap his dragon wings and rush into the starry night, Krim heard his last words whisper softly on the deck:

"No matter how far away it is, what you pay is not meaningless."

That's right, he must think so about Arakawa himself...

Flying in the night sky in the far north of the world, his black eyes stared directly at the iceberg ocean in front of him, thinking about this thought in a daze, and then suddenly a certain feeling came, a blank card appeared in his hand, and then half of the twins appeared on the card,

The black eyes widened incredibly slightly, and then slowly lowered it, put away the 1/2 awakened [double card], and glanced back at the icebreaker that was almost out of sight.

I forgot to ask him for his name...
