The thick curtains were drawn, leaving only a glimmer of light through the gaps, revealing the dust in the air.

Xu Changge sat in front of the table, the world was slightly dark in front of him, and the thoughts in his mind were constantly rolling.

Darkness, despair, betrayal, redemption......

Most of the time, most people choose to grin the corners of their mouths in a sarcastic arc in the face of such words.

After all, these words appear most often in fantasy works such as "Ragnarok" that are too far from reality.

These emotions are more for us to appreciate than to be genuinely attached to them.

But...... What if it appeared next to you and me?

When the world is crazy, do you also choose to go to destruction with it?

When the world has completely disappointed you, do you choose to despair and stop expecting?

If you were asked to choose again, would you choose to look down on all beings indifferently?

Is the world beautiful or ugly?

And "Ice Blade" is just such a world!

Because it contains so much shady content in it.

Under Lu Xinghe's lens, there is always a sense of spiritual oppression.

There is an air of darkness and intrigue hidden in every room.

People always have indifferent eyes and closed lips.

Too many people are proudly enjoying the fall, and that is a hysterical powerlessness and madness.

And what Xu Changge has to do...... It's to enter this crazy, dark world!

In a dimly lit atmosphere.

Xu Changge's hand was raised steadily compared to the appearance of a pistol, pointing at himself in the mirror.

He tilted his head slightly, and in the dim atmosphere, his dark eyes were cold and restrained, firm and resolute, but the occasional focused emotion in his eyes made people shudder.

Three...... Two...... He was calculating the best time to make a move...... Bang!

"No, that's not how it feels!" Xu Changge shook his head and frowned and said to himself.

"It's not like that, Hansanseong shouldn't be like this. Xu Changge's eyes were scattered, and his thoughts continued to diverge.

He is not a policeman who fights for his life to carry out his belief in justice, so he can't have a sense of righteousness.

He is not a policeman who will not change his position after being hit by reality, so he can't have a decisive look.

He is not a policeman who is extremely sarcastic and disdainful of today's police system and politics~governance, so the ridicule at the corner of his mouth is more of contempt and disdain for crime.

So what kind of cop is he!

Xu Changge looked at himself in the mirror, there was not much emotion transmission in those eyes, and he looked extremely indifferent and calm.

In a trance, the person in the mirror seems to have become another person, standing high in the clouds and squinting at the joys and sorrows of this world.

"I understand, you're not a policeman at all, you don't have blood and tears at all, you don't have humanity, you're the same as us!"

This is what a criminal who was arrested in the play said to Han Shancheng.

Isn't it a policeman? Xu Changge gradually understood.

His grip on the gun never wavered, and he didn't hesitate when he fired it.

He wasn't much of a savior, and he wasn't misanthropic, he just watched, listened, and then moved the corners of his mouth silently.

He doesn't love others, and he doesn't love himself.

Perhaps his love has become so stiff that it is difficult to express and manifest because of his indifference.

He is wrapped in indifference because he is himself an "evil" that overrides all evil.

"Mountain Castle...... It's the kind of monster that can only be produced in a society where human nature is degraded, crime and money worship, and we can only be glad that he is not a criminal!"

This is the evaluation given to him by Han Shancheng's boss, which is very real and cruel.

But is he born like this, and how did his character come about?

The biggest reason is probably because of Han Shancheng's father, who is also a criminal policeman.

Han Sanseong's father hanged himself after a stray bullet fired while arresting a prisoner and hit ordinary citizens, because public opinion was quite incomprehensible to him......

This incident is the cause, and Han Shancheng's character is the result.

How should this deep, restrained emotion be presented, and how does it affect Han Shancheng's thinking pattern?

Xu Changge pondered, analyzed and straightened out little by little.

Needless to say, Han Shancheng is a cold person, but what about other emotions......

Xu Changge could see his anger.

When his partner Fang Xuming was killed, he grabbed the slimy blood with his hands and was expressionless, but he went to the gang alone.

When his father's partner and his predecessor Tang Zhengcheng was injured, he kicked the table with his foot, and his eyebrows were full of hatred and murder.

He often stared at Jiang Rong on the other end of the phone and told Jiang Rong to be careful, but his tone was still calm.

Xu Changge has reason to believe that he values his friends more than life.

It's just that his intense indifference makes people dare not approach, no one understands him, how can he have friends?

Maybe he's used to being alone.

Xu Changge could still see his tolerance.

No matter how smart and mature a ten-year-old child is, he is still a child after all.

Their so-called "assertion of my existence" and "changing the world" are nothing more than childlike willfulness after all.

Even if the little boy named Zhao Qingsong was powerful, he would cry and panic in front of the criminal's gun.

Han Shancheng behind the elevator raised the gun in his hand coldly.

At this time, the child realized that human blood can be so hot, and the feeling of death can be so terrifying.

"Criminals die, children grow up, it's all part of real life, if you don't like this world, change it yourself. ”

The child cried "wow" and fell in front of Han Shancheng, and at that moment, he actually had a relieved face.

Xu Changge could still see his sadness.

When the bad news of Fang Xuming's death came, his expression was full of pain, his eyes trembled suddenly, his eyebrows trembled, and his hands began to tremble for the first time.

When Tang Zhengcheng died, he sat alone beside Tang Zhengcheng and was silent.

For him, Fang Xuming is his brother, and Tang Zhengcheng is his father.

All his emotional fluctuations are due to their origins and deaths.

Xu Changge had never seen Han Shancheng who would ask Fang Xuming with a smile, "Do you like boys or girls?"

I have never seen Han Shancheng who will show a comfortable smile and often ridicule Tang Zhengcheng's comfortable life after retirement.

Perhaps Han Shancheng does not have the concept of "possession" and "loss", but he knows what it means to "protect" and "cherish".

For their sake, he will be willing to sacrifice his life.

If it is true that Han Shancheng is a ruthless man who will not shed a single tear in the face of the tragic death of his partner, as the prisoner said at the beginning of the story, maybe Han Shancheng can live more easily.

"Yamashiro, I wonder what it means to die in your heart?"

“…… It's a failure!"
