Volume 1 A New Guest in the City Chapter 26 I want to be mortal too
Half a year ago, Weidun City Uprising Street.
"Son, you should be ...... The rumored girl......"
After a man approached the mayor of Guardian City and told him to play a "game" with him, a girl caught their attention. Immediately afterwards, the mayor managed to find the white-haired girl who was wandering on the street and invited her to the reception room of the downtown building.
The white-haired girl complied with the mayor's words and nodded silently.
After the strangeness of the place faded slightly, she began to tell the mayor why she had come here. But because of the "contract", she couldn't tell everything about it.
According to her, she is here to protect all the people in the city. After receiving the power of an old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains, she took on some responsibilities and came to the city because of the "game".
Then she expressed her hope that she would save her sister who was dying in her hospital bed.
"Contract" and "game", these two ordinary words that refer to something, inexplicably gave the mayor of Weidun City a hint of foreboding. Regardless, she's shown her supernatural powers, and she's promised to protect the city, so at least she's not a direct threat to it.
But when he thought about the content of the "game", the mayor couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart. After that, the people of the "dead country" will come to ask for people, and if they don't give it, they will attack the city. But in the face of such a child full of terrifying power, the mayor suddenly felt a sense of invisible hijacking.
If she falls into the hands of the Dead Country, God knows what kind of abuse she will receive, so she will definitely not be willing to be handed over. But if she stays in the city, it will be a time bomb planted in the city.
This game is much tougher than what the man says.
At that moment, the mayor's mind flashed with such a thought - her arrival would bring disaster to the city, so I hoped that she could leave on her own......
The analysis of the destruction of Guardian City is still ongoing, and the mayor of Black Lake City is trying to combine these scattered pieces of information to guess the whole case.
The White-Haired Riot has been temporarily quelled for a long time because of his sincerity, and the White-haired Settlement Plan is currently going well at this time, and it seems that there will be no White-haired people inciting an uprising.
In this way, a stone in the mayor's heart has fallen. And why he suddenly mentioned the matter that ended a long time ago at this time, it was because the mayor was suddenly confused, thinking that he had forgotten that there was still a matter of the white-haired riot that had not been dealt with, and his nerves suddenly tensed.
But after calming down for a while, he suddenly remembered that the matter was over.
"What was I thinking, what a ......"
It's normal to get confused when you have too many things. The mayor put down the file and turned on the music on the computer, trying to empty his brain.
Those soft, more classical sounds seemed to be a warm hand, gently soothing his restless and chaotic heart. Gradually, in the midst of such music, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
The notes went into his head, in his mind they were woven into a city, and he was young again, and he was in it.
The laughter in the sky brought everything into the amusement park, and outside was the city of Fangcai. The colorful balloons carry sorrow and sadness, and gradually disappear without a trace, leaving only endless joy.
Looking sideways, his 4-year-old daughter was beside him, lying on his lap and shouting for a hug.
That cute look made the mayor ...... No, it should be called Lao Yu now. made Lao Yu feel unbearable for a while, hugged her lovingly, and kissed her lightly on the cheek. This is a dream, Lao Yu subconsciously understands, but he is only willing to follow the dream and continue the memory.
In this world, there are countless people who are willing to indulge in beautiful dreams. When they realize that all this is a dream, they often find it difficult to accept it and prefer to sleep forever.
"Dad, where have you been, I've been waiting for you for a long time......" The daughter in Lao Yu's arms curled up, enjoying the warmth of her father's arms, like a kitten.
"Daddy...... I went to a far place, but Dad was able to come back. You wait for Dad, Dad will definitely come back, and when Dad comes back, Dad will definitely compensate you for all the time he owes you. Lao Yu kissed his daughter's round cheek, and then pressed his face against his daughter's face, reluctant to leave for a long time.
If I can go back, I must pay off everything I owed my daughter at the beginning, and I will not leave my daughter alone. Lao Yu thought so.
"I miss you so much...... Daddy......"
"I miss you too...... Children, life is short, we need to forget our troubles and enjoy the joy to the fullest. ”
"Hmmm......"
In such a vast world, this ordinary father and daughter hugged each other tightly, but in the eyes of the white figure on the street corner, it turned into sadness.
"I envy you......" the white-haired girl smiled, "I also miss the feeling of being hugged tightly by my father......"
"Are you ......" Lao Yu noticed her, he was stunned for a moment, and his scalp was numb for a while, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Lao Yu put down his daughter and told her to stand still, then walked to the white-haired girl and tried to touch her. However, the figure of the white-haired girl could not be reached, and Lao Yu's hand passed directly through her shoulder, as if touching a ghost.
"Kid...... You ......" Lao Yu wanted to say something very much, but he, who already knew everything, really couldn't say that kind of encouraging words to her wholeheartedly. However, before Lao Yu could say anything intelligible, she said something inexplicable first.
"They said they didn't want to die and wanted to live...... I also want...... I want to do it too......"
As the girl became more and more excited, countless dark clouds converged in the sky to form a whirlpool, sprinkling the eerie darkness onto the earth. The rides began to crumble, disintegrate, and fall into pieces, flying into the sky, staining everything that was so joyful with endless horror. All the scenery that had been warm had collapsed, and people had been hit by rubble, and some had fallen into cracks in the ground.
With a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses, the girl shuddered violently, realizing that she had inadvertently ruined it all in the chaos, but she couldn't do anything about it. Eventually, watching the city become unrecognizable, the girl suddenly fell to her knees, her face full of regret and pain: "I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
In an instant, a white light flashed, and the mayor opened his eyes suddenly, almost jumping out of his chair. As his mood slowly stabilized, Fang Cai's dream gradually blurred and disappeared, leaving only a fragment.
He had just woken up and was still a little dazed, but the mayor held his forehead and slowed down, and the sound of knocking on the door broke into his ears.
It seems that the mayor was woken up by the knock on the door just now, and after allowing the knocker to come in, the mayor sat up straight and straightened his clothes, and then Councilor Lee walked in.
"Mayor, there is an individual fitness test in the school in the afternoon, I think, will there be something ......?" as soon as he entered the door, Councilor Li immediately expressed his thoughts.
"What do you mean?"
"That girl, if she liberates her power during the test, she will definitely not be able to control it and make people notice, but if she doesn't release her strength, then the test will definitely not pass. Councillor Li smiled helplessly, "In this case, she will have to stay at school every day and will not be able to patrol the city." ”
The mayor thought for a moment, and seemed to be prepared for the worst.
"If you can't hide it, you can only learn from the mayor of Weidun City, and you're desperate. ”
Time passed minute by minute, and the time finally came. The school recalled all students for a monthly physical fitness test, including Bai Yu and Bai Nanyu.
The stadium is like a pool of water that is filled and released at the same time, and the students on one side are coming one after another, and the students who have completed the test on the other side are leaving in a hurry.
In the midst of the crowd, several boys stopped and looked at the white figure sitting on the edge of the stadium auditorium. For some special reason, they recognized her immediately.
It was Bai Nanyu, a boy's shout caught her attention, causing her to raise her head, and after confirming the conjecture, the boys suddenly pushed one of the boys twice. They looked like they were saying "go, go, go" to the boy with their actions, and the boy was anxious.
Bai Nanyu smiled, and already understood what was going on in his heart - the boy liked her, but he didn't dare to confess, and it was rare to meet at this time, so his brothers began to "assist".
The group of boys pushed and shoved the boy next to Bai Nanyu in the audience, and then retreated to observe.
Bai Nanyu sat in his position with his hands on his cheeks and tilted his head to look at him, his face full of a smile that would be revealed when he was funny. Looking at the boy's anxious look, it was obvious that it was the first time he had confessed to a girl. This immature appearance made Bai Nanyu feel nostalgic for a while, and a memory couldn't help but flash in his mind.
In the modern campus, in front of the fountain flower bed with a trickle of streams, she was invited to come here, and under the quiet gaze of her sister, she was presented with a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers by a boy, as well as an ignorant and simple love. It was the first time she had been confessed by a boy, so she was also very shy at the time and didn't know what to do.
Later, although she agreed to the boy, the relationship between them became more and more ordinary inexplicably, and in the end they were not together, and the boy only became a good friend second only to his sister.
As a young girl, of course, the yearning for love is still maintained. The kind of love that is like being wrapped in marshmallows, soft and sweet, if he can, Bai Nanyu also hopes that he can have it at this time.
But it's a pity that these romantic things may never be with her again.
"I know what you're trying to say. Seeing that he couldn't speak for a long time, Bai Nanyu sighed helplessly, but still kept smiling, "I can't promise you." ”
The boy was stunned and hurriedly asked why. And Bai Nanyu slowly sat up straight, lifted the snow-white hair on his cheeks, and gestured with his eyes.
"It's okay...... That didn't affect ...... "The boy looked like he was struggling.
"No, it's more than that...... I can't really be with anyone, I can't ...... anyone"
"Why ......"
Because after accepting that power and accepting that mission in order to save her sister, she will never be able to be an ordinary person. She had been stripped of almost everything, leaving only a body.
Bai Nanyu wanted to tell him very much, but he couldn't tell him, so he had to get up and leave.
Can't really say anything? No, it won't be long before they understand why, because reality will tell.
As the number of students dwindled, the white figure walked up to the teacher who was recording the test results. A few minutes later, the white figure left, and the head of the school's physical education department rushed to the teacher, who was recording the test results, and found him in a daze.
"What are you looking at?"
"Just a test. The teacher who recorded the results was stunned for a long time, "There is a girl who is very strange. ”
"Huh?"
"She tested twice, almost failed the first test and was injured, but she asked to retest. And this second test score reached the level of nearly perfect score. ”
As the teacher said, there was a huge difference between her two test scores, and it was simply made by two people. Well, that's right, it seems that Bai Nanyu inadvertently overdid it again in order not to be left on campus.
"Hey, there are many such students, at first I thought that the grades were nothing, and when I learned that something was going to happen if I failed, I immediately became serious. The person in charge waved his hand.
"No, what I care about is her grades, and the second time she met the standards of an adult boy. ”
"Huh?"
After leaving the stadium, Bai Nanyu wandered around alone because he had nothing to do for the time being. Inadvertently, she wandered to a strange place, and the moment she raised her head, it was as if she had traveled through time and didn't know where she was.
In this case, it is either for her to ask her classmates and cleaners who sweep the floor, or to go to a high place to have a look.
Today, she is really confused.
It looks like a playground in the middle school district, and the facilities are relatively old, and it looks quite nostalgic.
The rusty iron rods, the cement basketball court surrounded by the loess track, and the basketball hoops set up on both sides of the court are like a tough veteran, always sticking to their posts.
Just when Bai Nanyu was immersed in such a peaceful atmosphere, a noise broke into this quiet environment. Looking at the source of the sound, a man ran out of the corner outside the school building.
He looked like he was chasing someone, and he still had a gun in his hand. Intuition told Bai Nanyu that there was something wrong with this person, and he was not just chasing someone, but also being chased by someone. I guess I was found when I was secretly arresting someone, so I searched for it while running.
It doesn't matter who the person he is chasing or who is chasing him is, just running around where the students go to school with a gun is dangerous enough.
However, what was even more coincidental was that because Bai Nanyu was the only one who didn't run away, the man ran straight at her and locked her up as a hostage with his hand.
The man chasing him hadn't shown up yet, so the man looked left and right with trembling hands.
"Hey. Bai Nanyu patted his hand.
"Don't move! I'll ...... if I move again," the man roared, stunned the moment he saw her face, "you...... How are you ......?"
At that moment, the man's face evoked that dark memory in her heart, which in turn brought endless anger.
"Guardian of the Dead, you've won the lottery. ”
