On a street in the city, time, 9 p.m.

Pedestrians on the streets today seem to be a little scarce, not only because of the earthquake during the day, but also because it is New Year's Day, it is just after 9 o'clock, the streets are already a little deserted, and some shops have even closed their doors in order to let their employees go home early for the holiday.

There had been a light rain in the sky, and at the foot of the steps of a closed clothing store, a girl with messy hair sat on the steps, with a white curtain in front of her, on which some very cute clay and handmade ornaments were displayed.

The girl's gaze was glazed, but her expression was gentle, her thin body was wrapped in a short white coat, and the lower body was thick jeans, but the wash had turned white, and there was an old backpack beside her, and she leaned on a blind man's cane.

The girl was blind, but that didn't detract from her beautiful countenance.

The girl's lips quivered slightly, and although the eaves in front of the shop were wide enough not to let her get rain, the cold wind whistled against her coat, which didn't look too thick.

Today was supposed to accompany her brother at home for the last day, but she couldn't rest, she thought, sell a little more today, she can bring back a toy for her brother, although her father's money still has some left, but that money can't be moved, those are used to save lives.

Their siblings depend on each other, and it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no emergencies, so she must come out to make money, although the earthquake during the day is terrible, and it seems that many people have died on the side of the pedestrian street, but it is useless to stay at home, and the four-walled home cannot bring them any protection.

Thinking like this, she exhaled a white breath and rubbed her hands.

Although she came out to set up a stall just after dinner with her brother today, so far, only 3 have been sold.

There are really few people today, after experiencing the earthquake during the day, all the people are a little panicked, and now the TV is reporting the tragic situation of today's pedestrian street, and the rescue work has not stopped for a moment until now, listening to the pedestrians on the road, it seems that there are still many victims who have not been rescued.

She suddenly felt that it would be better to go back to accompany her brother today, because there was such a terrible earthquake, and her brother might be afraid.

So she thought that in another half an hour, if there was no business, she would close the stall and go home.

At that moment, a sudden sound of footsteps came and stopped right in front of her.

"Please take a look at it, it's all handmade. The girl thought that a guest had come, and said softly in the direction of the voice.

But what answered her was a somewhat frivolous man's voice: "Yo, what is this?"

The girl had some ominous premonitions, but she felt that the man was squatting down in front of her, and the goods under her came with a rustling sound, so she had to say, "Yes, it's some handmade products... I did it myself..."

"How much?" the voice asked, seemingly picking up a handiwork.

"This... This, may I ask which one you chose..."The girl was a little helpless, her eyes could not see, usually at this time, she would ask the customer to describe which product it was.

"What, are you blind?" said the voice with a grin.

“... Well... I'm so sorry, I.. I can't see with my eyes, can you let me touch the product...?"

Although the girl was a little frightened, she still trembled and stretched out her hand.

Suddenly, she felt her hand being held by another pair of powerful hands.

So the girl screamed in fright.

"What do you do!?"

There was a giggle and laughter around him.

"Don't you want to touch it, I'll let you touch it, hahahahaha. The voice laughed and pulled the girl over.

The girl couldn't break free, and was pulled into the arms of the man, and naturally, all the goods under her were trampled to the ground.

The girl kept struggling, shouting for help.

But it was getting late at this time, and the road was not too lively, because in a lively street, girls would not be allowed to set up stalls like this.

In addition, due to the earthquake during the day today, everyone is now willing to stay in a safe place, and it can be said that even cars rarely pass through this street.

The man grabbed her wrist and tried to drag her away, and several other voices came from beside him.

"Look, I'll just say, she's blind, hehe, even if we... Hehe, she doesn't recognize us, quick, get her out of the alley, there's no camera here, hurry. ”

"Hehe, I've earned it, this blind man is so beautiful, hurry up, I can't help it. ”

The girl's face turned pale with fright, she already knew what she had encountered, a bunch of shameless hooligans, but she didn't intend to be slaughtered like this, she kept struggling and shouting.

The men were a little angry, so the man who grabbed his wrist slapped the girl to the ground, and the girl only felt dizzy, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.

Then she felt another pair of powerful hands directly wrap around her waist and carry herself.

"Hurry up, no one will see it, hurry up, remember to take her bag, there must be money in it." ”

The girl was tossed and turned on her shoulders like this, not knowing where to run, she had not recovered from the dizziness, and she could only hear a giggle around her.

She knew what she was up against.

A sense of despair and grievance arises spontaneously.

Just when she wanted to cry and beg for mercy, suddenly, the bump stopped.

She felt that the man who was running on her shoulders stopped.

Is it already there? The girl was so frightened that she began to tremble.

But suddenly I heard the man just now say.

“... Boy, get out of the way, don't meddle, we have knives. ”

With that, she heard another click.

After losing her sight, her sense of hearing became extremely sharp, and she could hear the sound of a folding knife popping out.

The man continued viciously: "Get out of the way, or you will die." ”

"She's blind and has no money, so what's the point of you taking her away?"

The girl heard voices talking again in front of them.

The sound is calm and magnetic... Moreover, I seem to have heard this voice myself.

"Hey, hey... You're a fool... It's not better that she's blind, and we don't want her to see us when we do that. ”

The man's voice came again, only this time, full of banter.

"Oh, it's sad, I thought you could at least get rid of that ugly wild instinct so far, but now it seems that after so many years, you haven't evolved at all. ”

Several men were silent for a moment, and they all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha,, this is a fool, fool, you want to save this blind man?

"Hehe, I think, this kid wants a piece of the pie, or, let him follow, wait, let him finish?"

"Damn, you're not afraid of him calling the police, grass, beat him up first, he looks richer than this blind man. After the voice of the tall man who carried himself spoke, the voice in front of him spoke again.

"It's really sad that after so long, human beings have not only not gotten rid of their animal instincts, but have gradually forgotten the instincts of crisis awareness. ”

"What do you mean?" asked the man carrying the girl.

"You'll find out later. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, she heard a muffled sound, and then the girl immediately lost her balance again and fell to the ground.

A cry ensued.

"Ahhh

"No, no, we were wrong! We're all just students!"

"Mommy, Mommy, Help, Help, Help!"

The girl felt as if something terrible had befallen them, and she didn't want to hear it anymore, so she curled up and covered her ears.

I don't know how long it has been... Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her wrists and removed her hands from her ears.

"Hey, I've called you several times, are you deaf besides being blind?" the girl was still trembling, but she felt that this voice was really familiar, she had heard it... But where have you heard it?

Then, the man pulled himself straight from the ground.

"You're so weak. The man said to himself with a sneer.

The girl asked tremblingly, "... Thank you, thank you for saving me...."

"Oh?" the man suddenly said in an extremely strange voice, "How do you know that I am trying to save you, in case I want to swallow you alone..."

As she spoke, the daughter felt that the man leaned his head to her ear, and at this moment, she felt something terrible crawling all over her body, and even the pain of stopping breathing swept over.

But it's just a moment.

Immediately, the man smiled.

"Lie to you. ”

The girl was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground again.

"Alright, let's go back quickly. The man said again.

Then the girl remembered that her crutches were gone... I don't know where those people took me now.

"I... I don't know where it is..."

The man was silent, so silent that the girls thought he was gone.

Suddenly, the girl felt like she was being picked up.

It's the kind of princess hug.

So she screamed again in fright.

"You, what are you doing!"

The man said coldly, "Send you back." ”

With that, he ignored the girl's struggles and carried her in a certain direction.

The girl panicked all the way, she didn't know whether the man was going to take her back to the place where she was selling things, or if he was going to take him to a place where no one was...

But after a few minutes, she was relieved.

The man put her down, and she immediately felt that it was a step, and she touched it, and sure enough, she touched her backpack and crutches, and the group seemed to have finally decided to throw down their worn-out looking backpack.

Then, looking very anxious, she fell to her knees and groped for the goods on the blanket.

Sure enough, it was almost broken, so she had to sigh.

It seems that you won't be able to come out and sell things at night in the future...

Suddenly, she felt as if she had forgotten something, and only then did she notice that the man was still by her side.

So she immediately said, "Yes, I'm sorry, sir, I misunderstood you just now, thank you very much for saving me..."

After that, the girls lay on the blanket and touched the goods one by one.

Finally touching a good piece of clay, she smiled happily, straightened up and handed the clay to the man.

“... This, this one is for you, though... It's not precious, but I want you to take it... If you don't think that's enough, I'll give you more tomorrow..."

The man seemed hesitant, but reached out and took the clay.

Then he said mockingly: "No need, this thing, why are you giving me so much, no matter how much garbage there is, it is garbage." ”

The girl was a little displeased, but after all, she was her savior, and she couldn't say anything.

But suddenly... She seemed to hear who it was...

“... Are you... Last time... of..."

Wen Xinghe saw that the girl finally found out that she was the one who stepped on her goods last time, and smiled again and said: "Well, my proposal to you has not changed, and I can also add one more item to you, if you are willing to kill your brother, I will not only let you regain your vision, but also let you give you eternal life." ”

The girl sighed.

was actually saved by this man.

But to put it mildly, someone else saved her after all, so she forced a smile and said gently: "... No, sir, if you think I'm blind and don't read much... Just come and play tricks on me, I tell you... It's bad behavior, and there's... Even if you can do that... I won't do it either, and there are some things that people like you may never understand. ”

Although the tone is very polite, they all use "you".

But the phrase is clearly full of mockery.

Wen Xinghe was a little puzzled, he thought that after experiencing the terrible situation just now, the girl would feel that life is precious and living is more important than anything else.

But why is she still so inflexible?

And she kept saying, what kind of person am I like me?

I'm not even human... But why, when she said this, she felt very unwilling...

It really confused him.

“... If nothing else, I, I'm leaving. "Just like last time, the girl just wants to get rid of the man in front of her as soon as possible.

So she took the broken goods into her bag and stood up with the blind man's cane.

"What's your name?" Wen Xinghe asked suddenly.

“... Huh?" the girl wondered why he had asked this suddenly.

"I mean, what's your name. Wen Xinghe repeated.

The girl didn't want to say it, but the other party was her savior, and it was a little too ruthless to do it herself.

So she said slowly: "Shu Ziyi..."

"Do you need me to send you?" Wen Xinghe asked behind her.

Shu Ziyi seemed to be startled by his voice again, and then immediately replied: "No, no need... I, I'm gone. ”

looked at Shu Ziyi's back as he gradually moved away.

Wen Xinghe stood in place, holding his chin, as if thinking about something.

Then he turned back to the dark alleyway, where a bloody arm lay on the dark ground.

"Eat cleanly if you want to. He whispered into the alleyway, his voice eerie.

Immediately, a withered arm stretched out from the alleyway, grabbed it and dragged it back.

"Master, what are you thinking?"

I don't know when, the girl with short silver hair has appeared beside her.

She wore a cute little coat, and the dress of this season with short skirts and stockings showing her waist really made passers-by shiver for a while, although there were not half pedestrians on the street at this time, and it seemed that the cold wind did not hurt her at all.

"Huh?" Wen Xinghe glanced at her, and then said, "You shouldn't wear it like this in this season, humans are very cold animals, and at this time they should wrap the fur of other things around themselves." ”

He lectured the girl beside him.

But the girl said nonchalantly, "Oops... That wouldn't look good, it would look too bloated. ”

Wen Xinghe smiled and said, "Hmm, so you are on par with human aesthetics." ”

"Aren't you, master, running out of the lair all of a sudden, and coming to this place on purpose, did you deliberately want to save the girl?

There seemed to be some dissatisfaction in the voice of the short-haired girl.

Wen Xinghe laughed.

"I don't know why a human being cares so much about abstract things like beauty and ugliness, but, well, I don't think she's not only not beautiful, but she also has a major flaw, she can't see. ”

The girl sighed sympathetically.

"Isn't that just like a monster? I'll kill her and help her get free. ”

Wen Xinghe shook his head.

"But, she... There's something I can't fathom to, and you don't let any brutes do anything to her until you know what it is. Wen Xinghe's last sentence was a little low, with a hint of command.

"Yes, yes, yes. The short-haired girl waved her hand impatiently.

"Also, master, that experiment is almost ready to enter the final stage, and the organization and the blessings of the Xue Fang family... The one in the lair seems to have started working. ”

Hearing the girl's words, Wen Xinghe's face became interested.

"Really? That's good news. ”

After that, Wen Xinghe jumped lightly, jumped up the steps, opened his arms, looked at the sparsely populated streets and said: "Human beings, thirst for power, worship power, obsessed with power, then we, come and be their gods, we give them strength, give them everything they want, give them monsters... No, for them, it's the power of God. ”

Wen Xinghe's voice became louder and louder.

The girl scratched her cheek helplessly.

"Alright, alright, master, come down quickly, what a shame it is to be seen. ”

“... You're becoming more and more human. Wen Xinghe looked at the girl with a smile.

Immediately, the two of them melted into the ground like rain floating in the air and disappeared.
