Volume 1 The New Guest in the City Chapter 12 Can the Crimes Committed Be Paid Off?
"If helping others puts you in danger, will you continue to do it?" asked my sister as she slouched on her side on the soft plush sofa, eating potato chips, "...... If there are a lot of things like this, you will naturally be on guard. ”
The room was silent for a second, and finally my sister's answer came.
"Not necessarily. My sister listened to her sister's words, and suddenly showed a warm and innocent smile, "If the person being helped is my sister, it doesn't matter if I die millions of times." ”
“...... I mean...... Forehead...... Forget it......"
My sister looked at the screen in front of her with the game screen in front of her, and fell into deep thought.
Now on the screen, the injured protagonist faces a passerby who is about to fall, hesitating to give him his last bottle of healing. At the very front of the screen, there are three options, one is to give, one is not to give, and the other is to rob him while he is powerless.
According to my sister's character, the third one is definitely impossible, and the question is whether to give or not to give.
It is worth mentioning that the protagonist has also encountered a lot of choices before.
For example, on the edge of a cliff, an enemy is about to fall off the cliff, and my sister relents for a moment and chooses to save him, but the protagonist is torn off the cliff and almost falls to his death......
These endings chilled her heart one by one, so much so that she was already very vigilant at this time.
"This kind of thing, if you don't experience it yourself, may not be so strong...... No...... I can feel that I can't let the protagonist continue to suffer, right...... It's too kind, it's still too stupid......" My sister was a little depressed.
"Then don't give it. My sister said casually.
My sister nodded, but resolutely pressed the "give" button.
"Eh, sister, you ordered the wrong ......"
"No, I'm not wrong. It's just that I think...... I'd better continue to be a fool, even if it might end up being a bad end. ”
The sister smiled, and on her face, it seemed that she could see the relief that the main character in the game should have shown on his face.
Sure enough, the enemy came immediately after the man was cured, and the man who was healed was very timid and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, my sister's heart cooled again.
"The protagonist is so pitiful, sister, you should have let him be a bad guy in the first place. My sister said indignantly.
Unable to fight, with no one to support, all the protagonist can do is try to escape or wait for death. The younger sister sighed, and suddenly she could feel the despair of the protagonist.
I kind of know why the villain of this game always says "kindness is stupid". The two sisters couldn't help but think of a piece, and then, the older sister was ready to close the game after playing this escape level, and the younger sister was going to get something to eat.
The protagonist of the game, it seems, can feel his helplessness, and a sense of desolation overflows from the screen.
Because of physical exhaustion, on a section of parkour over the wall, the protagonist fell down halfway through the climb. At that moment, my sister put down the handle and concentrated on eating snacks.
CG appears, and the protagonist collapses to the ground like a dead corpse. His face was like ashes, and no matter how those people stepped on it, he didn't react, and he only had one breath left.
"It's useless, kill it. After the captain of the enemy finished speaking, he turned to look into the distance, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he staggered, "Hurry up......
Before the captain could finish speaking, a bullet flew into his mouth and passed directly through the back of his head, killing him instantly.
My sister's mouth chewing potato chips suddenly looked like a stuck machine, but it trembled slightly. When a large group of militia members surround them, my sister finally learns from the conversation between the people and the protagonist that the person who was rescued just now went to move the rescuers.
"You're a good person, hold on, you can't die, we need people like you!" The passerby who was saved by the protagonist hugged the protagonist and looked at the protagonist's smiling face, tears raining down.
At this time, another option appeared on the screen, and my sister didn't think about it, and immediately clicked on the only option.
However, the protagonist doesn't say that sentence, and it's clear that the protagonist wants to say it, but he doesn't have the strength anymore. Injured before, bleeding all the time, and now running for so long, the protagonist is already on the verge of death.
"We owe you a lot...... Give us a chance...... What else would we like to do for you...... Isn't the medical staff here yet? Hurry up! He's about to ......."
In the gradual loss of voice of others, the protagonist loses consciousness and is pitch black in front of him, and at this point, the game is over.
The sister can't wait to press fast forward, but in the end she obediently sits in front of the screen, waiting for the moment when the protagonist's eyes light up again. However, this game doesn't say whether the protagonist lives or dies until the end.
Let the protagonist's life and death be uncertain, perhaps to give people a space for imagination.
Many years had passed since playing that game, and the white-haired girl opened her eyes and recovered from her memories.
Is kindness really stupid?" the white-haired girl thought, after all, she had been betrayed too much at this time, just like the protagonist.
Raising her head, she looked at the sky, feeling the familiar scene.
She had woken up in countless of these streets and alleys, thinking about how to cope with this new day, so she had long been used to it.
It can even be said that she is a little nostalgic.
"Shen Mengyun? I think I've heard of it. ”
In the noisy streets, Xiao Jing once again found the wandering Nangong Yu and told her something.
Not long ago, a member of the "Bad Boys Alliance" left the organization in anger because of a conflict with the citizens of Black Lake City, and wandered the streets.
She is a white-haired girl named Shen Mengyun.
It is worth mentioning that she is a mute, and her personality can be said to be the type that is kind to stupid. At the time of leaving the organization, she wore a certain man's leather jacket and a dress similar to the "Lolita" style.
"A man's leather jacket?" Nangong Yu frowned, "Why are you wearing a man's leather jacket?"
"That's ...... The man...... Alas...... She's going to go because ...... Some of them are not easy to say...... Anyway, you should keep an eye on it. ”
Nangong Yu nodded knowingly, and watched Xiao Jing leave.
"By the way, do you want to continue wandering? Isn't it good to come back and organize?" Xiao Jing suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, don't be arrogant, what are you waiting for...... Hey, little rain!"
Without waiting for Xiao Jing to finish speaking, Nangong Yu ran away first, leaving Xiao Jing alone in place.
The breeze blew through the abusive corners, gradually becoming bitterly cold, and the white crowd was like a wave of the sea, rushing into a street blocked by guards with blast shields.
The gray city was silent, watching these white people roar and protest, indifferent.
The crowd reached the blockade and finally stopped. I don't know who started it, and people began to shout for the mayor to come forward and give them an explanation.
"Calm down, we're already discussing policy, please don't be impulsive, don't let the bad guys take advantage of it. ”
As they wished, as a sign of sincerity, the mayor really appeared in person. He had been waiting here for a long time, just to discuss with these white-haired people.
But who knows, just after saying a few words, the white-haired people began to get excited.
"You said you would help us, why are we still wandering now?"
"Aren't the white-haired people human, why are they only wary of us?"
"Why treat us differently!"
The white-haired man's voice gradually drowned out the mayor's voice, and the mayor sighed helplessly, not noticing the change in the crowd - in an almost imperceptible place, a white-haired man found the best position to shoot and sneaked out the gun on his waist.
This scene happened to be discovered by a girl behind him. The girl subconsciously wanted to let everyone know, but for some reason, she gave up after thinking about it.
The white-haired man raised his gun, but no one noticed him, only the girl kept staring.
His hand gradually pulled the trigger, watching the finger bend little by little, and the moment he was about to pull the trigger, the girl decided to stop it. However, it was already too late, the trigger was pulled, although nothing happened.
The white-haired man reloaded the shot, but it was useless.
Just as he was preparing for the third shot with a look of fear on his face, he flew out of the crowd for no apparent reason, and threw it in front of two waves of people as if he were a man throwing evidence in front of the crowd. At first, people were curious about what was going on, until they saw the gun on the ground, and most of the people panicked.
Before everyone could react, the white-haired man picked up the gun like a dying struggle and frantically pulled the trigger at the mayor, of course, it was still useless. Until he was caught and pressed to the ground, he was still holding the trigger unrelentingly.
"What's the matter with this man?" questioned the captain of the guard.
The crowd was babbling, they didn't know the existence of this person, they were only gathered because of dissatisfaction, not to assassinate the mayor. It's ironic that they think they have become revolutionaries, but in fact they are a refuge for the bad guys.
I don't know who led the way, and the crowd dispersed, because there must be other assassins in it, so the guards immediately began to randomly arrest the fleeing crowd. After the crowd dispersed, the girl walked unhurriedly, unscrupulously scouting the white-haired man.
On a sparsely populated street corner, a white-haired girl came from a distance, clutching her wounds and lying weakly on the side of the road. Suddenly, she noticed that someone had quietly walked up to her, and when she looked up, she saw that it was a girl.
She didn't seem to be able to speak, looked at the white-haired girl and smiled, and then wrote something in the notebook in her hand.
After a while, she pointed the notebook to the white-haired girl, and wrote on the small notebook:
Are you Miss Bai Nanyu?
I'm Shen Mengyun.
You've probably heard of me.
Because you used to be in the Bad Boys League.
After reading the above words, the white-haired girl looked at the back of the notebook again, and the girl smiled innocently. What can you say about that smile? It can be said that it can turn the heart of a person no matter how strong his heart is, and looking at her smile as precious as a diamond, you will even feel that making her sad will make you even more uncomfortable.
This girl is Shen Mengyun, from the perspective of the white-haired girl, this is much cuter than she imagined.
"You still call me Nangong Yu, I don't want to use that name anymore. The white-haired girl turned her head.
However, Shen Mengyun still quickly wrote in the notebook: I understand, Miss Bai Nanyu.
"Ah......" Bai Nanyu raised his forehead and sighed, "Forget it, I'll give up, call me Bai Nanyu and Nangong Yu." ”
In silence, Shen Mengyun sat down next to Bai Nanyu, tidied up her clothes, and after tidying up her clothes, she took out a few xiaolongbao bags from the leather jacket she was wearing and handed them to Bai Nanyu.
"For me?" Bai Nanyu asked.
Shen Mengyun nodded, it happened that Bai Nanyu was also hungry, although he still had some money, but it didn't matter if he "ate and drank". So, she ate one unceremoniously, and looking at her eating appearance, Shen Mengyun laughed again.
Bai Nanyu was stunned and looked at Shen Mengyun with blinking eyes.
Shen Mengyun waved her hand and wrote in her notebook: It's nothing, you are so cute.
Bai Nanyu's face flushed immediately after reading it, he cleared his throat "tactically", pushed his glasses, deliberately looked at no one and continued to chew the bun. Within a few seconds, she felt Shen Mengyun patting her on the shoulder, turned her head, and saw the words on the notebook - you did it just now that the white-haired man flew out of the crowd.
"Ah...... Well, I was scared to death, and I thought I couldn't catch up, so I was slashed and hurt to death. Bai Nanyu covered her mouth to avoid letting the unfinished things in her mouth be seen by Shen Mengyun.
Does Miss Bai Nanyu's ability have to be bled to use it?Shen Mengyun continued to write.
Bai Nanyu nodded: "Almost." ”
The two were silent for a long time, Bai Nanyu finished eating the buns and deliberately left one for Shen Mengyun. The fallen leaves are gradually falling, like the fallen souls in the world, perhaps every minute and every second, in a certain corner of the world, there are countless people who have just died.
Shen Mengyun patted Bai Nanyu's shoulder again and pointed the notebook at her.
You said...... Too kind, isn't it really too stupid.
A sense of disappointment in the city was engraved in those few innocent words, looking at those few words that looked very petite, even if Shen Mengyun couldn't speak, Bai Nanyu seemed to be able to hear her tangled words at this time, that helplessness and strong expectation.
"No, trust me. Kindness is always right, never be a bad person. ”
As soon as Bai Nanyu's words fell, Shen Mengyun wrote: But kindness can't live at all!
After being silent for a moment, Shen Mengyun looked at the leather jacket on her body, and then wrote:
That uncle is the best proof of this!
Why should they do this!
Why can't you give it a chance!
He wants to be a good person!
He wants to atone for his sins!
He is kind!
Shen Mengyun's writing speed is getting faster and faster, and she is getting more and more sloppy, and countless words are holding her mouth, but because she is a mute, she can only write helplessly in emotionless words. The words gathered more and more, and she gradually became unable to release them, and eventually, they turned into tears in the corners of her eyes, which gradually flowed.
Maybe you don't understand what's going on at this point. That leather jacket belonged to a man, that man used to be a criminal, people spurned him and excluded him, but Shen Mengyun was willing to accept him.
It's an iron fact that he's a criminal and that's a criminal, and people won't know what he committed the crime for, or who he actually is. When he sincerely repents and wants to be a good person, there are always people who want to slander him and deny him a chance.
Only Shen Mengyun was really willing to give him a chance, and their relationship gradually became as deep as a father and daughter. But people's impression of him is getting worse and worse because of all kinds of hype, even if he does more good things. Until one day, when he put on his favorite leather jacket for her sleeping and never returned, she hated the city.
So, why, they are always reluctant to let go of those who are willing to repent, they have made mistakes, but they can atone for their sins...... Shen Mengyun finally calmed down, slowly finished writing these words, and buried her head in crying.
Thinking of what Xiao Jing and Bai Nanyu said, Bai Nanyu suddenly guessed why Shen Mengyun left the "Bad Boy Alliance".
Suddenly, Bai Nanyu thought of the name "Bai Nanyu" and thought of the matter of Weidun City.
Will the crimes she committed in Weidun City make her be spurned by people like that man? Thinking of this, Bai Nanyu's hairs stood on end, and a burst of fear filled her heart. Immediately, she tried to make herself forget about it and try to calm down.
At this time, Shen Mengyun patted Bai Nanyu's shoulder and wrote again: Miss Bai Nanyu, don't worry, I am willing to accept you, I hope you will not become the next him. And, I'm certainly not the only one who accepts you, am I?
Maybe...... No, absolutely. Because Boss Wu is also willing to accept Bai Nanyu, she is not insisting on it alone.
"If the people in the world were as innocent and kind as you, maybe I wouldn't be suffering in this place at this time, and these people wouldn't be living so painfully. ”
On a lonely autumn day, the white-haired girl sat on the street, thinking of the innocent and kind short-haired girl, and suddenly felt a force pushing her heart.
Even if I really get ruined like that, I have to keep going for her sake.
