Volume 2 The Game for the "Half-Dead" Chapter 50 The Lie Behind the Truth

In the silent city of Weidun City, people seem to don't know each other, and they are busy. Even in the midst of the crowd, this loneliness still can't be dispersed, only an inconspicuous corner that tries to hide itself, exuding a different kind of warmth.

Two girls, one black and one white, one tall and one short, came out of the corner as if they appeared out of thin air.

Passers-by occasionally cast numb, tired glances, and then slowly looked away, continuing to blend in with the gray crowd.

When the busy crowd gradually dispersed and returned to their quiet corner, the two girls sat down on the side of the road and chatted.

"Xiao Jing, why are so many people unwilling to stick with everyone, it shouldn't just be because of selfishness......

"There's also suspicion of others, and a herd mentality. The black-haired girl said habitually putting her arms around the white-haired girl's shoulders, "It's okay, no matter what happens to them, we are still by your side, and if you catch it one day, we will do our best to save you." ”

In this world, there are always many people who do things that others can't understand.

At first glance, they are selfish, evasive, and unreasonable. Yes, they are cold and selfish, and the so-called desire to go home may be just an excuse, but their desire to survive is innate.

What's more, maybe they were also people who were full of help, but in the end, they were overwhelmed by the cold tide of indifference.

The icy atmosphere, as if it were an endless sea, is terrifying and despairing. Those who fall in it with warmth are like a fish that can't swim, and can only struggle desperately until they run out of strength and swim in all directions along the tide.

That's some people who are lost, some people who are lost on the road.

Their warmth is too small, and they can't find anything like it in this world.

"But the League of Bad Boys is definitely a haven for those who do good, I can assure you. Xiao Jing patted Bai Nanyu on the shoulder, "We have been trying to tell people to unite, believe in others, and give warmth to others. ”

A cool breeze mixed with the hustle and bustle gently blew past the two of them. As if watching the wind leave, the white-haired girl raised her head and slowly spoke her inner voice.

"I'm thinking...... Regulators, what kind of existence are they? I used to think they were terrible and hateful, and of course they are just as hateful now, but I realized that they weren't just troublemakers, and their existence seemed to have other meanings. ”

What is the so-called regulator?

Like a mourner for the dead, the sky of Black Lake City was covered with dark clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it began to rain heavily.

It's still daytime, but everything gray is starting to get dark. The headlights illuminated the dense raindrops, flowing through the puddles on the side of the road, and the splashed water flew to the side of the road, and got into Bai Nanyu's shoes unprepared.

Bai Nanyu, who was angry and helpless, gasped, looked at the car in the distance, gritted his teeth and let out an angry cry.

People are looking for shelter, and passers-by are becoming scarce. Bai Nanyu finally found the downtown building, and in this rainy scene, this high-rise building with lights on revealed an indescribable feeling.

It's like loneliness and hope.

The mayor, who was meditating in his office, heard a knock on the door, answered the question, and looked up to see Bai Nanyu, who was drenched in the rain, and the only female member of the Council of Seven holding a towel behind her.

At this time, Bai Nanyu regretted that she didn't bring an umbrella, although the weather forecast told her that it would rain, but there was no rain in the morning, so she luckily didn't bring it. At this point, she wanted to slap herself, oh no, she had already done it when she was talking to the female member about why she was in the rain.

The mayor first asked the female member to take Bai Nanyu to change her clothes, and then took advantage of the time to dry her clothes and start talking to her.

Bai Nanyu changed into a work suit temporarily placed here by a certain staff member who worked hereβ€”a white shirt and a blue suit coat, and a pair of pants that were long enough to fold several times. In fact, the sleeves of the dress are also rolled up, otherwise it would be like a singer.

Looking at the size, this should be a big man, after all, it was agreed to take casually, and she was embarrassed to change into other clothes, so she had to wear it for the time being.

Finally tidying up, Bai Nanyu sat down at the reception table next to the office and began to talk about business.

"Things have started with this big ...... My sister heard about it, but she didn't expect Councilor Li to leave. Bai Nanyu said and rolled up his sleeves and crossed his arms, "So what's between you?"

Not long ago, after the mayor received a gift from Councilor Lee, the female member hurried into the mayor's office when she wondered if Councilor Lee had something to do and told the mayor that she knew who killed the youngest member of the seven.

In fact, when the incident happened, the female member was about to go downstairs to throw out the garbage, and when she reached the stairwell on the second floor, she noticed a stranger walking towards the garbage dump in the rear. This aroused her alarm, so she hid in a place with a good view and watched the garbage dump, and finally witnessed the whole thing.

There were two people on the other side of the junkyard, one with her back to this side that she didn't know who it was at first, and the other who looked a lot like the youngest member of the Seven. She didn't hear the obvious gunshots, but she saw the young man fall after the man walked over and raised the gun, so she knew who did it.

After that, Councillor Lee, who was present, left the garbage dump with the man who shot her, and as she passed by her neighborhood, she saw the appearance of two people.

She didn't know Peng Yuyun, who was doing it, but she knew Councilor Li as a regulator.

It cannot be ruled out that Councillor Li was forced to follow Peng Yuyun at that time because she was afraid of something, so the female member had been hesitant to speak out, but when she heard that Councillor Li had resigned and left the city center, the female member panicked and felt that she had to say it.

Then she told the mayor about these things, and told her when she just met Bai Nanyu. Now that they all knew what had happened, the mayor began to talk about Councilor Lee.

Councilor Lee was actually one of the people who was summoned when the mayor was implementing the "Homeland Project".

The so-called "homeland plan" was formulated by the new mayor when he took office, and he hoped to care for the masses and give everyone the warmth of "home". And, he would personally survey the masses to find out who was available to join the inner-city work.

After learning his story by chance, the mayor felt that he had a somewhat similar experience to his and began to notice him.

The mayor found him to have a strong sense of responsibility and management skills, and often put forward some suggestions, most of which were confirmed to be feasible and adopted. In his daily life, he is also very gentle with others, and according to his own words, this is because he punished himself for neglecting the company of his daughter.

Gradually, the mayor also found that he seemed to be very dissatisfied with this society, and always had a materialistic idea of wanting to completely change the world.

β€œ...... He once told me that he hated the world, but I also believe that he didn't ...... because of that I don't know if he followed the man, whether he joined them, or chose to go undercover there or something......" The mayor said with some guilt.

"Do...... Do you go undercover...... Hehe......" Bai Nanyu sneered and rolled up his sleeves.

"I've been enlightening him in the hope that he can change his mind. After all, he is also very kind to people...... Alas, now that he is gone, I don't know which path he chose. The mayor sighed briefly, "I don't know where he is now or what he's doing, I must find out about this matter." ”

"What if he was actually a member of the Guardian of the Dead Country a long time ago?" Bai Nanyu said as he waved his fallen sleeves and rolled them up again.

β€œ......”

I don't know how long it took, but the atmosphere was dull, depressing, and breathless. This heavy reality turned into a boulder in his mind, pressing against the mayor's chest, and like an iron cage that imprisoned his mind, locking him in place.

Unexpectedly, this atmosphere was broken by Bai Nanyu's exclamation.

"Ah~ this sleeve!"

Bai Nanyu waved the extra sleeves angrily, and the cuffs rotated like a big windmill. Because she always felt uncomfortable holding it just now, she put it down and pulled it up again, and she made it for a long time, but she was either uncomfortable or she slid down with Bai Nanyu's movements.

So, she gave up and waved it directly in a hurry.

Looking at the surprised eyes of the two people around him, Bai Nanyu pursed his lips in embarrassment, wrapped the extra sleeves into a knot with each other, and raised them silently.

Seeing this scene, the female member smiled lovingly, patiently loosened the knot for her, and slowly folded the sleeves on her arms, trying to fold as few layers as possible so that she would not feel strangled. When tidying up, Bai Nanyu noticed a fairy tale book on the table again.

That's right, it's the one given by Councilor Lee.

"Storybook ......" Bai Nanyu choked before his words fell.

"What's wrong...... Oh...... Sorry ......"

"It's okay, I'm just envious, if my dad was here, he would have mischievously run to my room and my sister and me and read us stories like little babies...... Actually, I was looking forward to it, and I hated it when I was teasing the two of us like this. Now, if I could, I'd love to stay next to my dad like this......"

As he spoke, the picture in Bai Nanyu's mind became more and more conspicuous.

On that night, that night of wandering on the streets, my sister took the storybook she had picked up and stubbornly read bedtime stories next to her sister, even though they were long past that age. If they hadn't wandered, they might have laughed, but now, those smiles melted into tears.

"It was sent by Councillor Li before leaving, and I don't know if he will be able to come back. ”

The mayor's words brought back Bai Nanyu in her memories, she frowned and changed her tone, and finally decided that it was better to tell the matter: "I don't want to hide it anymore." Mayor, you should be mentally prepared, in fact, Councilor Li has always been a member of the Guardian of the Dead Country. He's the 'regulator' of the 'game', I'm not kidding, it's true. ”

After speaking, Bai Nanyu, who thought that the mayor would collapse, saw that the mayor was not particularly surprised at this time.

"I ...... I see, is there anything else. ”

"That's it...... Pay a little attention and watch out for those who assassinate you. ”

"I will. ”

When the conversation ended, Bai Nanyu got up to say goodbye, and walked to the corridor outside the office door accompanied by female members. Loneliness gradually permeated the air, corroding the mayor's heart.

At that moment, another exclamation ruined the dreary atmosphere.

"Ah~ This sleeve smashes ......" Bai Nanyu waved his sleeves again at the door.

Well...... She probably did it on purpose, just by looking at the way she looked back at the mayor. She didn't want the mayor to be so sad, although the mayor never showed it, but those negative emotions must exist. So, she wanted the mayor to smile.

As she wished, the mayor did feel the joy and smiled slightly, unable to sink into the sadness any longer.

Finally, Bai Nanyu left, and the mayor looked out the window and muttered to himself.

"In the end, did he really do that......

Leaving the mayor's office, the female member sent Bai Nanyu all the way to the gate on the first floor. Bai Nanyu was about to leave, but the female member called out to her again.

"Hey, wait, kid. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Nanyu turned his head, he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly his eyes suddenly lit up. She took what the female member had given her and stroked it like a treasure, panting with excitement.

It turned out that the female member handed her a crystal ball the size of her face. That crystal ball is a limited edition, except for the shell, which is mass-produced, and the things inside are hand-made and unique. The color of the crystal ball is slightly purple, and there are some small edges and corners that are deliberately made, reflecting a beautiful light.

I don't know where I bought it back, Bai Nanyu has never seen such a beautiful crystal ball.

"Yes...... Is it for me...... Give it to me......" Bai Nanyu was so excited that she stammered, and her hands began to tremble.

The female member nodded, and she also felt extremely satisfied when she saw Bai Nanyu being so happy that she couldn't calm down. Her eyes at this time are like a mother's eyes when she bought a gift for her child, and the child was so happy that she jumped up and down.

Indeed, she was indeed a mother, a very young mother, and when she came into this world, she lost everything she knew for a while. Her child is still very young, just 4 years old, and at this time, she may be feeling how her daughter feels after she is sensible.

Bai Nanyu was so excited that he was about to cry at this time, oh no, in fact, his eyes were already red.

"Anyway...... Why do you want to give me this ......" Bai Nanyu calmed down a lot in an instant.

"Child, you must have worked hard these days, you are obviously still a child, and you are still a girl. The female member touched Bai Nanyu's head lovingly, "Girl, take good care of yourself, think more about yourself, don't treat yourself badly." ”

"Hmm......"

Bai Nanyu swayed her body with a twist, and the female member glanced at her up and down, and said slowly with a sigh of relief.

"I have a daughter who is only 4 years old, and I ended up here by accident. I wish I could go back and take care of her and watch her grow up to your age. The female member's smile suddenly mixed with more joy, "Come to think of it, it's really happy." I'll have to bother you in the future, come on, big hero. ”

"No, I'm not...... Ah...... I will...... I'll do my best......"

Bai Nanyu's face suddenly turned red, and he blocked his face with a crystal ball, looking very shy. At this moment, in her inner world, it is indeed a different scene.

I'll do my best, and you'll hold on until the day we win. I believe that there will be that day, there will be......
