Perhaps in the night sky, every star is a life. They are so small, so numerous, so faint, and yet so shining.

Looking at the boundless night sky, the young mind thinks and fantasizes. Endless thoughts swirled through her mind, and suddenly, a familiar face flashed through her mind, and in an instant, a strong longing overshadowed everything.

Even if you are a girl, you can be a hero! But I can't protect the world, and if I only protect one person, am I a hero?

Forget it, if I can protect a person, I am a hero.

"Yes, I want to be my sister's hero and protect my sister. ”

The short-haired girl muttered to herself, looking at the emerald green pendant in her hand, and a sense of determination filled her heart. She gently lifted the pendant, which seemed to glow faintly in the moonlight.

The light, like the longing in her heart, was dim but tenacious.

"Of course, if I have enough ability in the future, it is not enough to protect my sister, I will protect the world where my sister lives. In this way, my sister can live a better life. ”

This is her obsession, the obsession of a weak child, and now, her obsession has infected the person she protects.

When the short-haired girl was talking to herself, her sister who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep heard it clearly. She couldn't help but roll her eyes arrogantly, and secretly cursed "stupid" in her heart.

"Can we meet again?Inherit your obsession, this world, my sister has always been guarding......"

The white-haired girl sat by the window, sitting in the same position as the short-haired girl at the time, looking at the sky and holding up the blue pendant.

At that moment, their hearts seemed to be connected again......

A day ago, Boss Wu received a letter. The moment he saw the letter, he smiled and knew who had sent it and what it was for.

The letter came from a powerful but amiable man, the city's administrator, the mayor. The mayor is actually good friends with Boss Wu, and this matter is a bit long-term, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Familiar restaurants, familiar seats, and familiar waiters. Boss Wu arrived at the place where he met on weekdays and waited quietly.

After a few minutes, the mayor arrived very punctually. At this time, the mayor may not be called the mayor, and Boss Wu prefers to call him Lao Yu.

As soon as Lao Yu sat down, he immediately began to get to the point.

"I was attacked last night. ”

Boss Wu didn't look particularly surprised, after all, the position of mayor is very dangerous here.

"But that's not the point......," Lao Yu took a deep breath and continued, "I seem to have met the 'Watcher', and she saved me." ”

She ...... Do you see what she looks like?"

Lao Yu nodded, shook his head again, and said after thinking for a while: "She is a white-haired person, wearing a blue dress, and at that time she looked like she had a cut on her arm, and there were blood stains from her wrist to the palm......"

Listening to Lao Yu's description, the more Boss Wu listened, the more familiar he felt, and even her appearance appeared in his mind.

"I ...... Probably know her......"

The mayor had heard about her for a long time, but he just knew that she was a homeless person at the time.

"Are you sure it must be her?" the mayor tapped his index finger on the table.

Faced with the mayor's question, Boss Wu also hesitated, but he always had a feeling that he had been telling Boss Wu that the girl the mayor said was her.

"Anyway, you'd better pay more attention to her, she's certainly not easy. ”

After these conversations, they began to chatter again, and the meal was unconsciously served on the table and eaten by them before they knew it. By the time they decided to go, it was already afternoon.

Boss Wu, who returned home, thought about it all night, and finally fell asleep at the table.

He had been hesitating how to say those words, and you might think that it was just a very common question. In fact, the reason why Boss Wu hesitates is because she always tries to hide herself, and every time she is about to mention something related, she shows full anxiety and fear.

She shouldn't be an ordinary person who wants to hide herself and be a folk hero, the fear is as strong as a criminal about to be exposed, she must have something unspeakable.

Boss Wu's hesitation lasted until the next day, that is, as mentioned in the previous chapter, when Nangong Yu arrived at the bookstore again. That's right, Boss Wu's strange eyes were not Nangong Yu's illusion.

Before the security team came, Boss Wu didn't decide to let Nangong Yu see the thing he was going to show her at midnight, but when he stood in front of the cash register, he suddenly felt that it was better to say it. The hundred-dollar cash in the cash register had just been given to the gang of hooligans, but at this time, it was unexpected—there was not a penny of money in the cash register.

Thinking of Nangong Yu's wound just now, and the white-haired girl who saved him as described by the mayor, Boss Wu finally decided to speak up.

When the world gradually entered a rest, and only the dim moonlight maintained the glory of the world, Nangong Yu was invited to the bookstore.

Half past twelve, no more than a minute, no less.

Almost all the buildings have been dimmed into the night, except for the bookstore, which is still lit up and stands out like a candle in the darkness of the city.

"Boss Wu...... Call me...... What are you going to do?"

The petite figure pushed open the door, and the rabbit slipped to Boss Wu's side, which caught him off guard. After sorting out the books, Boss Wu took out a key and walked to the bookcase behind him.

"Follow me. ”

Behind the counter there is a bookcase, and behind the bookcase is a toilet. But it is easy for those who are interested to see that there is a small space between the wall of the toilet and the back of the bookcase.

Nangong Yu also noticed it, but then ignored it.

The secret of this small space has been solved today. Boss Wu was looking for something in the bookcase, then inserted the key into it, twisted it, and pulled the bookcase again, and a downward staircase appeared in front of them.

It turned out that this bookcase was a secret door, and Nangong Yu suddenly felt that Boss Wu was not simple, but he still maintained three points of caution.

"Come on. ”

Boss Wu turned on the flashlight and took the lead and walked down. In an instant, the bookstore that had just been brightly lit was dark, and Nangong Yu was so frightened that she whispered in panic, if it weren't for Boss Wu turning around and shining a flashlight on Nangong Yu, she might have thought she was blind.

All the lights went out, maybe Boss Wu touched something, it could be seen from his smiling expression. After all, Nangong Yu's appearance just now was so funny and cute, Boss Wu couldn't help laughing.

"What's ...... down here?"

Nangong Yu looked around as she spoke, and after about two floors of the building, she found that there were not even a few cobwebs along the way, and it seemed that someone often came here.

Finally reached the end, Boss Wu opened an iron door, brought Nangong Yu in and closed it.

"What the hell is here...... Yih!" Just when Nangong Yu was at a loss to touch the dark, the light suddenly turned on, "Boss Wu, can't you talk to me before turning on the light?"

"Ah...... Sorry, I should have said it, I just thought about it. ”

When his eyes gradually adjusted to the brightness around him, Nangong Yu found that the lights here were not particularly bright. On a closer look, it appears to be an underground library, but many of the books appear to be in the names of people.

"Each of these books represents a person, and they are all heroes. Boss Wu took out a copy at random, and said in a very sad tone, "Do you know about the Blood Sea incident in Black Lake City?"

The "Blood Sea Incident", which happened in Black Lake City many years ago. In that incident, the entire city of Black Lake was almost slaughtered by the "dead country", and in the end, for unknown reasons, a very small number of people in Black Lake City survived.

And Boss Wu is also one of them.

After that incident, the entire Black Lake City became "Blood Lake City", and no matter where you go, the smell of blood will always envelop you. The chilling corpses and the bleak scenes are deeply engraved in people's hearts.

When Black Lake City began to improve, Boss Wu thought of recording the deeds of those who dared to confront the country at that time, as long as people still remembered it.

Even if some of these stories are made up, eighty percent of them are true.

Sadly, among these books, there is an unbelievable fact - 60% of the books that represent a person here are some children, and some young people with great promises.

They should never have been involved in such strife, they should have lived in a good world.

Whenever he thought of this, Boss Wu always sighed, he knew what these children were dying for, but he couldn't do anything at that time.

"Of course, I'm going to show you more than that. ”

Boss Wu took out a badge and shook it gently in front of Nangong Yu, and suddenly, Nangong Yu even stopped breathing. She recognized the badge, the old badge of an organization she knew.

The name of that organization is called the Bad Kids League.

Maybe you'll laugh out loud when you see the name: what a weird and childish name. But when you learn the story behind the name, you probably won't think so, because these "bad boys" who formed the organization in the first place used their young lives to forge the future of Black Lake City.

They died long ago.

Before they died, their parents probably really thought they were just going out to play, but who knew that this "play" never came back. What came back for them was the deeds of souls who were awake and willing to fall asleep and bow their heads.

Although many of the successors of the organization are adults, they are still unwilling to change the name, and they can't add a single word less. Perhaps, to abandon any word of the name is to abandon those children. They can't do that, they know that as long as the name is still around, those children will always be with them.

"You, one of them, too?" asked Nangong Yu in surprise.

Boss Wu nodded and shook his head again:

"I was, and I don't. ”

“......”

"You're just a watchman, don't worry, whatever you do, I can accept you. Because I'm also a watchman, and I've made too many mistakes. If I had done that earlier, the owners of these books might still be happily living......"

This sentence woke up Nangong Yu, who was hesitant, like an electric current, and she looked at Boss Wu in surprise. Suddenly, behind Boss Wu's glasses, in those old but godly eyes, she saw a tragic scene.

The earth was red with blood, the sky was clouded, the screams were incessant, and everything was immersed in pain and despair. An angry soldier grabbed a boy by the hair in one hand and a dagger at his waist in the other, shouting at the angry but powerless crowd.

The boy was bleeding from his head, but he still struggled to resist, shouting at the crowd.

"You're resisting!"

People were just angry, that's all, they didn't dare to do anything but watch the boy being abused at the hands of smiling smiling soldiers of the dead country.

The boy's struggle broke a few hairs and almost got out of control, and the soldier became angry, and the blood-stained knife stabbed the boy in the back in an instant. The wound was bleeding like a spring, but the boy was still struggling, shouting, and the soldier stabbed him dozens of times in succession.

This soldier is nothing else, he just wants to tell these people that this is the end of resistance.

The boy's desire to survive drove him, and he was still shouting as the soldier threw him to the ground, but the crowd did not move. They know that anyone who rushes up will end up like a boy.

The soldier arrogantly trampled on the boy's head like dog shit, perhaps the soldier trampled on the boy's life at this time, but on the other hand, he trampled on the soul of the onlookers. After some time, the boy lost his voice and could no longer shout, and then the crowd dispersed, and the soldier left with a smile, leaving only the boy's cold body.

At this point, Boss Wu didn't dare to look directly into Nangong Yu's eyes anymore. The reason may be guessed, the reason why Nangong Yu can see this scene in the eyes of Boss Wu is because Boss Wu has seen it with his own eyes - during the Blood Sea Incident, Boss Wu was also one of the onlookers.

Even if he eventually became a rebel and became the one who led people to rebel together, his guilt still could not be erased. He watched the young lives fall, but he didn't dare to rush forward to protect them.

After a moment of silence, Boss Wu walked to the workbench and picked up a book with Nangong Yu's name on it.

The current Boss Wu is no longer a member of that organization, and he now likes to write down the stories of everyone he has met, but if that person minds, he will also choose to burn the book.

"I wrote this book for you, do you mind if it exists?" Boss Wu held the paper to Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu shook his head, and Boss Wu continued to ask:

"Is your name really Nangong Yu? That should be your pseudonym, right?"

"Actually, I ......" Nangong Yu hesitated, and suddenly changed his tone deeply, "If I say it...... Okay, Boss Wu, my name is not Nangong Yu, my real name is called ...... Bai Nanyu. ”

As soon as the words fell, Boss Wu noticed that something seemed to be moving in Nangong Yu's eyes, and suddenly, it covered the iris of Nangong Yu's eyeballs, causing her eyes to turn into a glimmering blood red......
