Ma Chao walked towards the old building area, while observing the environment around the old building area, and the old man said that there was no difference between this old building area and no one lived in it.

But from the staircase of each floor, there are traces of footprints. and the placement of items can be seen that there are indeed people who have shuttled through these buildings.

"If the old man really didn't lie to me, if that person was really a good person, maybe I could help Li Xiang by bringing him back. ”

Ma Chao muttered as he walked inside. One accidentally almost stepped on the air and fell into the manhole cover.

"Was this manhole cover already open, how do I feel that he wasn't open just now?"

Ma Chao looked at the open manhole cover on the ground a little strangely, he recalled it carefully, but he didn't see the manhole cover open in his memory, it seemed that the manhole cover suddenly popped open by itself.

Ma Chao took a look and walked around the edge of the manhole cover and continued to walk forward. After all, according to what the old man said, that person should live in the deepest part of these buildings.

Still thinking while walking, another accident, he almost fell into the well again.

This time Ma Chao saw it very clearly, he deliberately left a number in his heart, so that he could pay attention to observe whether the manhole cover on the ground was opened by himself or originally open, but he saw with his own eyes that the manhole cover was slowly lifted from the wellhead and moved to the side, without a trace of people.

"Boy, don't hide, I know you're a supernatural, maybe you don't know what you're going on right now. But I can tell you very clearly, as long as I come, I will definitely make you live a good life. ”

Ma Chao said loudly while looking up and forgetting his surroundings. He hoped that he could speak so loudly that Xiao Li could hear him, but despite his shouting so loudly, there was still no sound in the last few buildings to respond to him.

"Isn't it because I can't hear it? How can I be doing a thankless job here? If you don't agree to go back with me to-day, then don't blame me. ”

Ma Chao saw that the soft one was not good, and immediately became hard, and he stood downstairs violently, pointing to the surrounding buildings and scolding in circles.

But Xiao Li didn't seem to say anything about his influence at all, he judged very clearly and carefully, and he could almost see what this man was thinking in his heart.

"How could I possibly believe you, you must at least do something to make me believe. I can't be convinced by such an empty remark of yours. ”

Xiao Li's voice surrounded him from all directions. Although Xiao Li was very loud, there was no way for us to clearly judge where he was standing.

Ma Chao gradually fell in love with this teenager. It shouldn't be too loud to listen to at the age, since it can have such a vigilant mentality, it doesn't embarrass us superpowers.

"I just met the old man at the door, and if he was going to tell you, you should have known my details. Besides, I don't need to do anything to deal with your level, okay, I'm making peace with you calmly now just to let you out. ”

Xiao Li doesn't seem to eat him at all, because many policemen who came in the past said so, and it was because of this that once he walked out rashly and was almost knocked down by the police with a gun on the spot.

"What do you want to do to get me out? You first give me a good reason to convince you, or that you have a great ambition or an ideal. ”

Xiao Li didn't know where he was standing, and he was talking with a big loudspeaker connected to four buildings, which amplified the originally small sound several times.

"Maybe you've been here for so long, and you've felt the sinister nature of this society. Beishi, a seemingly glamorous city, is actually undercurrent. There are so many evil forces that are on the rise here, and my dream and goal is to eradicate them once and for all. ”

Ma Chao didn't care at all about saying it here, whether these words would be heard by the gang of people. After all, if you can recruit the brainy teenager in front of you to your side now, it will be much more effective than considering these things.

In the last building, Xiao Li sat in front of his seat and watched the surveillance, Ma Chao, who was standing in the middle of the road, put his chin on his hand, frowned, and looked at the man carefully while calculating, wondering if his words were reliable.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Li got up from his chair, he had been here for so many years, and it was the first time he had encountered a policeman who could say such retaliatory words. After all, he himself was originally a person with a great sense of justice, and he couldn't stand such a dark aspect of this city for a long time, and now that he has met someone with the same interests as himself, why can't he join him.

The corners of Xiao Li's mouth raised a slight smile, and with a slight wave of his hand, he transferred from upstairs to Ma Chao.

"This ability of yours is still more useful, so your ability can change your position at any time?"

Ma Chao is well-informed, he has seen a lot of this ability to move in time and space, but he has just carefully observed the ground, and there are no imprints left on the ground in advance, so he estimates that there are no specific requirements for this person's movement.

"As you might guess, I can move anywhere at will within a certain range, and of course, within that range, almost all of his matter can be mobilized for me. But this range is relatively small, about 100 meters, although you don't know it just now, in fact, I am just on the building in front of you. ”

Xiao Li didn't have much defense against Ma Chao, after all, according to the information that the old man at the door had just sent him, this person was not a bad person, and he did have good thoughts in his heart.

"Is the story told by the old man at the door true? If you really beat that person to death because of justice and in order to help everyone, then your intentions are actually good, but your methods are too extreme. ”

Ma Chao took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, shook one of them, and handed them to Xiao Li, the two skillfully lit the cigarettes, sat on the stone platform on the side of the road, and chatted while smoking.

"The situation, maybe he didn't make it clear to you at all, that man back then, what he did was too much. Actually, I know that my brother didn't do it right, but even if he didn't do it right, even if he just tied the fat man to the bed, he really didn't go down and just stood by the bed. Complained to him and intimidated him. ”

Xiao Li wanted to wipe his tears when he talked about this, in his life, only three of his relatives left him, but it was his brother who walked the most heroically.

"It's okay, just like the ancients said: people are inherently dead, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. Your brother's death is heavier than Mount Tai, and he has erected your Mount Everest on the top of Mount Tai. ”

Ma Chao gently exhaled a puff of smoke rings, he looked up at the sky, thinking about the strange abilities of the young man next to him, and probably had a number in his heart.

"Alright, boy, do you choose to go with me, or do you choose to stay here?"

Ma Chao stood up, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, gently rubbed it with his foot, stretched out a hand to Xiao Li, and looked at him with a smile.

But Xiao Li still had a few doubts in his eyes, as if he was worried that after he left, what would happen if this group of old men and women living here were threatened again?

"Don't worry, even if you don't leave, I won't arrest you today. You are a kind person, I don't need to catch a kind person, I just want to sincerely invite you to join the gang. ”

Xiao Li shook his head slightly, he sighed, slowly spit out the last puff of cigarette, looked up at the sky and said:

"I can't rest assured that the people here, if I'm gone, there's a good chance they'll never have a stable guarantee again. Unless you can promise me that you can guarantee their safety. ”

Xiao Li was still relieved, and asked tentatively while looking at Ma Chao's reaction.

Ma Chao nodded slightly, but this time he didn't stay too long, just smiled and said:

"Okay, no problem, of course I can agree to your request. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned and left the place. Only Xiao Li sat alone, looking at the sky in a daze, not knowing how to choose.

"Kid, I think they should be persuading you to join them in punishing evil and promoting good, I feel that the police should have taken a fancy to your excellent ability, so they specially invited you. You have to believe me, everything in the world is done by a bunch of people, and I feel that individual heroism like in anime doesn't exist in reality. You want to be a hero here alone, and you want to stand alone here, just because you haven't met a real capable opponent at all. Listen to grandpa, let's go, go to the outside world, help more people, and change our city!"

Xiao Li lowered his head and clutched his mobile phone, looking at the heartfelt words sent to him by his grandfather, and he couldn't stop crying and wanted to flow out.

A place that had given him a home for many years was now uninhabited. The main reason why this place is almost forgotten is because of the law and order problem.

Xiao Li held his head in pain, he really didn't know how to choose, on the one hand, his heart, on the other hand, his own duty, the choice between responsibility and dream is often the most difficult to decide.

Ma Chao didn't know how far he had gone, although he had made up his mind to walk out while telling himself that he would not look back, but in his heart he really hoped that Xiao Li could change the city with him, after all, his ability was indeed one in a hundred.

"I'm here, the city needs me, you need me!"

A childish voice with a slight cry came from behind Ma Chao. A hand gently put on Ma Chao's shoulder, and that hand had some strength, and actually pulled Ma Chao back a step.

"I guess you'll come along, after all, it's your heart, it's your dream. ”

Ma Chao turned his head and looked at the childish teenager in front of him with a smile, like himself back then.

The two walked away under the old man's tearful gaze, leaving only a lonely figure sitting at the familiar street corner. Looking at that familiar neighborhood, guarding that familiar memory......

Beiyuan Community

"From today onwards, you can live here, downstairs is our home. Sometimes, if it's convenient for you, you can take care of our family. In the future, we will all be a family, and if you eat, you can just go downstairs to eat when you get to dinner. ”

Ma Chao has been an assassin for so many years, and his family has a lot of property, and there are more than a dozen houses in this community that are his own, so he chose the one closest to his home and gave it to Xiao Li.

"It's not as comfortable as my old building, so it's better to say every morning. Take the bus or take a taxi to report to you. ”

Xiao Li still muttered, he still couldn't forget the street that had fed him for so many years, and the group of old men and women who had taken care of him for so many years.

"Almost every task you have to do is to deal with the gangsters, you go back to get into trouble with the old ladies, the gangsters will definitely not be the only ones who will retaliate, if they know that you used to live on that street, then they will definitely go to the street and make trouble, and then it will be their end. ”

Ma Chao has experienced many incidents of gangsters taking revenge on people, and he also knows very well how gangs work. If you are looking for trouble, you must not look for a strong opponent, you must start from that person's weakness.

Xiao Li also understands this truth, after all, everyone is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but the degree is different.

"I know that living here doesn't affect them, but it will have a big impact on your family, and if they do come after you, what will happen to your daughter and wife?

When Ma Chao heard this, he patted Xiao Li on the shoulder with a smile and said:

"That's what I'm going to teach you. If you have free time at home, you must help me take care of my wife and children. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Li smiled, lay down on the sofa, and took a long breath, as if he had swallowed all the troubles that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years.

"After dinner in a while, I will take you to the police station, we belong to informants, in the eyes of others, we can't blatantly meet with those policemen. After all, we are secretly helping them solve cases and help them change the city. ”

Xiao Li has never heard of what is called incumbency, after all, he has lived in isolation for so many years, and he has always lived in a small neighborhood of his own. Faced with this emerging profession, he didn't know what it was.

"Then if I go to the police station with you at night, isn't that equivalent to turning myself in?"

Ma Chao smiled, and sure enough, the young man in front of him was an innocent child who didn't understand anything.

"Alright, let's stop inking here, you can go downstairs with me for dinner first. Trust me, my daughter will like you, after all, you are so handsome and have a good voice. ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but praise the young man in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that his clothes were a little shabby and his hair was still messy, maybe he could really be poached by them after being seen by those scouts.

downstairs

"Little baby, look at who Dad brought back for you today?"

Ma Chao had prepared a new set of clothes for him upstairs, and his hair had been taken care of.

At this time, Xiao Li looked like he was in good spirits. The white shirt was paired with black shorts, and although the hair was a little long, it was only just past the eyebrows, and after taking a shower, its original complexion was revealed, and the skin was as delicate as egg whites.

"Wow! It's my brother, it's my brother!"

The little girl has never seen such a good-looking little boy, and she has been dependent on her father since she was a child, so he also has a sense of dependence on her brother from the inside out.

The little girl pounced directly on Xiao Li's body, and Xiao Li had never seen such a cute little girl, after all, in the neighborhood where he lived, only the old man and the old lady had always been with him, and he was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly saw such a cute little girl.

"Who is this little boy?"

The wife was still a little puzzled, after all, the husband had brought a strange boy to the house just a few days after he returned. This makes any woman a little suspicious, this is her husband's illegitimate child outside.

"Don't think about it, I'm already a policeman, he has some special abilities that can help me, and at the same time, he is also a little boy whose parents are dead and homeless, punishing evil and promoting good, and accidentally injuring people, as a result, the person opposite is powerful and powerful, and the whole neighborhood is disturbed. Now the child is left on the streets. It just so happens that he has the ability, and I also need talent, so I took him back, and our family has an empty house anyway. ”

Ma Chao helped his wife wash the dishes while talking about Xiao Li's origin.

Qizi still believes in Ma Chao very much, after all, her husband has always been a man, and he has never deceived him in the slightest thing, even the informant who is a policeman, this kind of top-secret thing that only the two can know between them, he told his wife without reservation.

"Okay, okay. Then of course I believe you, as far as the things you used to do, although I didn't tell our baby, but I remember it in my heart, you can even do such cruel things, what else can't you do?"

In fact, I put the washed dishes on the watered shelf and began to mix the salad.

"Isn't that what I can't help myself? If I don't, there's no other way out. And let's not talk about this matter well, won't we mention it again in the future?"

When Ma Chao heard his wife say this again, he still felt a little uncomfortable. But who knew that his wife smiled in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile:

"You hate it so much? You won't let me say, how could you leave our mother and daughter here back then, and then go out to work alone?"

As he spoke, he poked Ma Chao with the chopsticks used to mix the salad.

Ma Chao apologized to his wife while smiling, and the warm atmosphere of the family was brought out at once.

Xiao Li has never felt such a warm and warm scene. He sat on the chair with some restraint, and when he saw that everyone had begun to eat, he dared to tremble and pick up chopsticks to eat with them.

"Brother, this will be your home in the future, don't think so much, we are all a family, the family must eat together, and we must stay together happily!"

The little girl still looked at the big brother in front of her innocently, and looked at him with a smile as she put the chicken wings on the table into his bowl.

The wife is also very pitiful, and the little boy in front of him whose parents are dead is concerned about the general. He took a piece of steak and put it on his plate, smiling as he handed him a glass of orange juice.

Xiao Li saw that the family was so enthusiastic about her, and tears couldn't help but seep out of the corners of his eyes, after all, since his brother died, he has been sitting in front of the TV every night, watching the so-called warm and funny family short dramas broadcast on the TV, while eating tasteless instant noodles.

He hadn't experienced this kind of warm and happy day for nearly four or five years, and now he suddenly felt this kind of atmosphere, but he was a little uncomfortable......

Meal

Ma Chao told his wife that he was going to take Xiao Li out to the police station, and asked his wife to stop the girl who insisted on following up.

"I'll go back as soon as I go, just like the squadron leader to report the new informant, after all, his original identity is a wanted criminal, and we have to give someone a clear explanation here, telling him that an agreement has been reached. ”

As he spoke, Ma Chao pulled Xiao Li out of the door, walked out, and quietly bowed his head and said to him:

"When you go to the police station, you must not talk too much to other people, first of all, the first problem is that you have a backup with them, they all know who you are, and the second is that not everyone has a good opinion of you, and even so, almost most people don't have a big impression of you, after all, you are a murderer in their eyes. The more people you see after you go, the more dangerous it is to yourself. ”

Hearing Ma Chao say this, Xiao Li didn't want to go over, and while looking at Ma Chao, he asked lightly:

"Can I just go over, I'll just talk to him on the phone here. Because I feel that I have not only been bad to him in the past, but also not good to myself. ”

Although Ma Chao thinks this is also a good way, but after all, it is not himself who is facing himself, but Li Xiang, as a dignified police station squadron leader, if you don't even say hello to them, you will be added as an informant without authorization, and you will not be very respectful to others.

"Let's go, if you don't go, I don't feel very respectful to people at all. ”

Xiao Li heard this and nodded, although they came to invite themselves, but there were indeed some people who didn't respect people very much. It's better to be in the past.

Thinking of this, Xiao Li could only stubbornly walk towards the police station little by little, in fact, he originally refused to be here, but for the sake of his beliefs, he gritted his teeth and walked there......

in the community

"You said that that person lives in the same community as us, and we are so close, they just can't do anything to us, can we go up and seduce them?"

Wang Tao asked with a smile, because he had already seen the green robe that had met him in the community, and the man looked at Wang Tao with anger on his face, but Wang Tao did wave at him with a smile and said hello very friendly.

"Hehe, although it is said that they can't do it in a crowded place, but I didn't say that they can't come to our house to do it, wow, you are so cheap to seduce people, what if people get angry and come up and kill you? Of course, only helping you kill it alone doesn't have much impact on us. ”

Bai Yu saw that Wang Tao was so cheap, he couldn't stand it anymore, and while maliciously reminding him, he kicked Wang Tao to the person's side.

But who knew that the green robe didn't seem to have much interest in Wang Tao, just glanced at it lightly, and then walked around to Bai Yu's side, his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he asked with some doubts:

"I didn't expect you to become a group of people with them, a well-known figure in the organization, and actually came together with them, what do you say about the people in our organization?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu's eyes immediately showed a murderous expression, as if he was teaching an ignorant teenager, he gently put his hand on his shoulder, patted it vigorously, and said lightly:

"Li, you have to remember, no matter where you wear it, the place where you are must be where your own beliefs are, what I believe in is justice, and what you believe in is loyalty, the two of us have different positions. But we are all good in nature, and I believe that if you stay in the organization, you will only get better and better. And my stay in the organization will only get more and more painful. ”

The two seemed to be very familiar with each other before, and they hugged each other like brothers. It seems that there is no notice at all that the positions of the two are now completely opposite.

"Boss, since you left, I have become the eldest brother of our original group, who said that I am still happy to be the eldest brother. But I still miss you a little, after all, in the eyes of my boss, I am just a substitute for you, I know this very well, but I chose to stay in the organization because I kept my heart. ”

The man's eyes were obviously full of sadness and pain, although he had a gold medal hanging around his waist, but her eyes, look and tone of speech did not have the confidence and elegance of the gold medal at all, but like a working person at the bottom, every word revealed infinite pain.

"I'm sure you'll be mixed up here, much better than when I was here, everyone will have a period of extreme pain when they first come into contact with their position, even me, when I just chose to give up the organization and come here, I felt for the first time that I had lost my purpose in life, and I was also very painful, but when you get used to it and accept the status quo of this position, you will find that this is actually a big piece of treasure!"
