Volume 2 The Game for the "Half-Dead" Chapter 56 The Real Game Begins
As time passed, the crowded wet market gradually became less crowded.
Wandering girls with long hair pick up rotten fruits and leaves left on the ground, all kinds of things that people don't need, or accidentally drop things that no one picked up. It's like panning for gold, maybe she can pick up something useful from someone else's drop somewhere, or even money.
The long-haired girl stopped, and the short-haired girl followed.
They looked at the barbecue restaurant that had just opened one afternoon, and the short-haired girl tugged at the long-haired girl's clothes and told her not to look at it, the more she looked, the more hungry she became.
Eventually, they sat down and ate the rotten leaves and fruits on the side of the road. Passers-by walked by, just squinting slightly, and then walking on their own roads irrelevant to each other.
"Sister, if we live in a city where each person can donate one dollar, then maybe we won't be like this. "People look very cold, is there really anyone willing to come to our rescue?" ”
"That's because there are more than two of us in this city alone. The long-haired girl replied.
"No, sister, I didn't mean to really donate money. You know what I mean?"
The long-haired girl was stunned for a moment, looked at the short-haired girl beside her in surprise, and then laughed and gently hugged her shoulder. She understood what the short-haired girl meant, but she didn't want to believe it.
"Don't think about it, someone will save us, there will be. ”
The sun dimmed, time passed quietly in the world of the two, and everything was finally covered in darkness again, leaving only the light that led them back to their temporary home.
Home, how close and far away are words, when will the world become a home?
The two girls snuggled, huddled together in the cold world to keep warm, and walked back to their temporary home. Today's sun has gone down, and I don't know when they will see the real sun......
Recently, a video went viral in Black Lake City, which sparked heated discussions.
This video is the video of the boy whose girlfriend was tortured to death, yelling at Bai Nanyu on the street. The video was labeled with all sorts of labels, such as "Unreasonable! Blame the watchman for not protecting his girlfriend", "The watchman failed to do his duty, and the victim yelled in the street", "The watchman's ability was questioned, and I believe she made the right choice......
These headlines express a wide range of ideas, and in the comment section, people from different factions are engaged in a "war". Seeing that the matter was slowly becoming distorted, even the Council of Seven was hesitant to let people stop talking about it.
And Bai Nanyu, who was following the boy, also noticed the news, she put down her phone and continued to look at the boy.
Unlike Wu Shengquan, the captain of the security team last time, this time the boy seems to have only that girl as the only support, so Bai Nanyu can't repeat the old trick and let someone approach him to untie the knot for him.
Is this going to be the best way to do it with a nightmare......? bar.
In the empty streets, the lonely figure of the boy moves like a walking corpse. Eventually, he sat down in a corner and lay quietly as if he were dead.
Perhaps, if you didn't see the light at the beginning, then you wouldn't feel like you were falling into the abyss. Nightmare told Bai Nanyu that this boy was the girl he met here, and they were both wandering at the time, enduring indifference and pain.
The girl and his personalities are more compatible, and the two quickly got together in this context, and finally came together.
They didn't have much confidence in life, but because of this coincidental meeting, they encouraged each other, and even made an appointment to find each other when they returned to the real world and become a real husband and wife with each other.
The feelings in crisis are often much deeper than the feelings in ordinary life, so when they are separated, it is much more painful.
Once again, the boy held back his tears and cried hysterically, like a crazy monster.
Although Bai Nanyu is not to blame, every time the boy beats the ground, it seems to be beating her heart. Bai Nanyu is rational and quite mature, but sometimes she is too kind and contradictory, and she always doesn't want anyone to be so miserable.
What's more, Bai Nanyu actually had the ability to save him, but she didn't find out at all.
If people are willing to take care of those who do evil, it will definitely spread the word, even if Bai Nanyu can't come, at least there will be law enforcement officers rushing to the rescue.
Fear is innate, and when we learn about it, will we intervene at that time?
Now, things are doomed, the girl is no longer there, and she will never be tortured again.
Life and death are really a painful thing.
The boy seems to have suicidal tendencies, and it seems that he can only do so, Bai Nanyu wants to use nightmares to enlighten him. There are many ways for Nightmare to enlighten him, and I believe that there is always one that works.
At this moment, a woman suddenly walked up to the boy's side. Bai Nanyu was startled a little at first, and then took a closer look, the woman seemed to be very familiar...... The only female member of the Society of Seven can't be wrong!
The woman squatted down, looking like she was talking to him, and he was very cooperative, and it seemed that the two must know each other. By the way, after all, the Seven will have been helping the homeless.
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Bai Nanyu was a lot happier, and it was just at this time that the nightmare reminded her that something was happening nearby, so she left with peace of mind.
In another corner of the city, on that slum grocery street, the survivors of Guardian City had come here again.
Things are cheap here, they don't have much money, they can just buy more things here, and the economy here is also very backward, and making some money for them is also supporting them, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, the last time the youngest member of the Seven, he came here to see the quality of life of the poor, to try to improve, and to find more people who had no place to be. And these survivors of Weidun City are also on the list of investigations, but that member was targeted by the regulators before he could send the news to the mayor, and then was killed by Peng Yuyun.
In this way, they may have to have some tossing and turning if they want to get a home.
But they don't particularly care about these things, this time they came to buy things, there are other things.
Since the last time he chatted with the grandmother of the stall, Wei Youyuan has never forgotten what she said, this time, under the guise of cheap things here, he asked his companions to come here together, and then left the team and came to the original stall.
The old grandmother is still the same clothes, the same kind and optimistic smile.
"Grandma, I'll buy something. ”
"Okay, take your pick. The old lady looked at Wei Youyuan with a smile, and suddenly noticed something, "Eh, you shouldn't be the young man from the outer city who bought a lot of things here last time." ”
"Wow, you recognize it, hahaha...... Actually, I'm here to talk to you about what I talked about last time. Wei Youyuan said, his hands still picking the things on the stall.
Matches, candles, a little wild fruit...... After choosing, Wei Youyuan stopped and began to talk to his grandmother.
Wei Youyuan wanted to know what the old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains had gone through.
Many years ago, before the "Blood Sea Incident" happened, and even the Bad Boys Alliance was not established, there was an old man who had been guarding the city, known as the "Watcher".
It is said that he came out of the Dead Country, and originally belonged to the Dead Country. Because he couldn't stand the oppression of the people in the country, in order to prevent the country from attacking those cities that did not obey the management, he escaped from the underground library of the country.
He has a very special supernatural power, it is said that he is not a person of this era, he should have died a long time ago, but he has survived because of that power.
Seeing what the dead country had done in the city, he was immediately filled with righteous indignation, subdued the thieves who oppressed the people, and rescued the people in dire straits. With his support, people gradually got back on their feet.
This was supposed to be a good thing, the beginning of a good ending, but it took a major turn.
The dead country found him and told him to stop doing it, but he was unwilling and still stood by the people in the city. He protects people from harm and regularly sends brunettes back to the real world. The dead country warned him that if he continued, he would definitely regret it.
He didn't believe it, and even began to threaten the country.
People have finally gained the upper hand and are living well, and although there are always people doing evil, it will not cause a catastrophe.
Gradually, at some point, some people began to suspect the old man who was protecting them, and some people coveted his power and wanted to take it for themselves.
Greed, suspicion, framing, countless difficult internal contradictions followed, and the country did nothing but watch and laughed.
One night, the old man was quietly meditating under the moon, and the surroundings were so quiet that it was suffocatingly quiet. Those things that puzzled him finally gave birth to the seeds planted by the dead king in his heart at this time. Perhaps it was too old to see things clearly, but he gradually believed the words of the dead country.
Yes, the old man finally regretted it.
Taking advantage of his wavering, the dead country began to harass the urban area. People noticed his change at this time, and as a result, his status quickly declined, and he even became an enemy or spy in the eyes of some.
In the last few years of dying struggle, he persevered, trying to make everyone understand, unite everyone, and change his mind, until in the end, he gave up. What he said was right, he left, hid in the mountains, and was never heard from again.
People said he was seriously ill and could no longer protect people.
But there were other people who spread the word that he had been poisoned, poisoned by the Dead Guards, so he fled and never came back.
What is the truth? People don't know.
His existence seems to be a legend, and people who know him even begin to doubt the authenticity of this story, until now, they have seen a white-haired girl with the same power, Bai Nanyu.
Now, very few people know about this legend, really very little. They either died or left, or lived silently like the old grandmother who talked to Wei Youyuan.
After listening to the old grandmother's story, Wei Youyuan nodded, as if he had woken up from a big dream. In his dreams, he seemed to witness the rise of a century, and witnessed its fall, and then returned to reality, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
Perhaps, one of the meanings of the elderly lies in this, they have experienced a lifetime, stored those stories in their hearts, and told them to future generations.
They are witnesses to history and tellers.
"I see, thank you grandma, then, I'm going to go back now, I'll come back to do business with you later. ”
"Come often. The old grandmother's fat face was still smiling, "I will prepare everything you want for you, waiting for you to come back and buy it, hahaha." ”
Wei Youyuan answered, waved his hand and left.
“...... It's okay, you know, even she wouldn't want you to be sad, would she? Think about it, if her soul could see you now, what would she say to you?"
Hopeful, positive words are expelling the evil spirits that eat away at souls, pouring dew on the wounded hearts and mending wounded hearts.
The cold wind is coming, and under this warmth, it doesn't seem to be so cold.
She ...... Will tell me that I hope I can live well and enjoy life over there......"
Since the video of his girlfriend's abused boy yelling at Bai Nanyu on the street was reported, it quickly attracted the attention of half of Black Lake City, and the Seven Association naturally received the news. So, the female member of the Council of Seven planned to find the boy and talk to him.
This female member used to help the boys, so the boys knew the female members. This is much more convenient, she can directly approach the boy and untie his heart knot unhurriedly.
This is a great help for Bai Nanyu.
Thanks to the Seven, although there are still many people in the city who are hesitant to help others like them, it is already difficult to get so many people to be influenced by them.
After all, the population of this city is unstable, and there are people coming and leaving at any time. Besides, this is a Black Lake City that is bigger than any city in the real world.
"Why are you here?"
The boy was comforted by the female members of the Seven, but at this moment he heard a voice that made him shudder, and even the hairs seemed to be immediately alert.
Looking at the man not far away, the boy immediately recognized him, but he was not the "he" at that time.
This man was Peng Yuyun, and after he walked out, the supervisor also walked out.
"You ...... What are you doing?"
The female member recognized the two of them at a glance, and the unconcealed fear instantly overflowed, making her behave extremely unnatural. This performance aroused the vigilance of the regulator, he and the female member must have known each other, and without much thought, the female member must have known something.
This made the regulator a little afraid, since there was one fish that slipped through the net, then there must be a second, although he didn't need to care about this now.
"What should I do?" Peng Yuyun looked at the regulator, "Kill it directly, or keep it?"
"Keep them for now, we'll still be useful with them. "Even though it has been exposed, the regulator still deliberately turns his face and looks like a thief.
Sure enough, seeing this scene, the female member immediately turned from fear to anger, and pointed at the supervisor's nose and scolded: "Li Zhucheng, you dog! I didn't expect you to be such a person! The mayor is extremely disappointed in you!"
"Mayor......" the regulator muttered.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little deadlocked, Peng Yuyun held a gun, pushed away the supervisor, and smiled weirdly at the female members and boys.
"Be disappointed, be disappointed, after all, the mayor is also about to die......"
