Volume 1 The New Guest in the City Chapter 27 The Game That Will Be Lost
This is a game that tests human nature, but it is also a game that is destined to lose.
After all, it was inherently unreasonable, a game made based on the oppression imposed by the strong. And this unreasonable game is based on the complex human heart, a messy existence.
Why is it messy? Because there's so much dispute, so much mistrust.
After all, in such a world where everyone doesn't know each other and everyone wants to live, it's really hard to accept that you give up your future and your life to save those you don't know, and you won't get anything in return. Therefore, playing this "game" with people, she is bound to lose.
"So, why did I promise him to play this game with him...... Is it just to get out?" Near Uprising Street in Weidun City, the white-haired girl leaned against the wall, pondering, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, just for that little bit of hope." ”
The people who wanted to kick her out of the house didn't know that even if the bomb was thrown away, they would still be harmed, and it was only because of the "contract" that they could be temporarily protected by the "game". In fact, in the end, she is still protecting them.
Hope...... No, definitely, people must not be indifferent, anyone must have a heart. After all, when she was wandering in the real world, the young man used his savings to help her sister, so there must be hope for this game.
Yes, I will definitely win this game, and I will definitely slap him in the face.
The more she thought about it, the more hopeful the white-haired girl's heart became, the reason why this world is dark is only because we are confused by darkness. Beyond the darkness, there is an endless beauty.
"Yo, isn't this 'Watcher'?" a man's voice said.
Suddenly, the hopeful voice in Bai Nanyu's mind stopped abruptly, and she knew that an uninvited guest was coming. Looking sideways, it was indeed the person she thought.
He was a member of the "Guardian of the Dead" and roamed the city as a "regulator" of the "game". Although they are "regulators", they actually do more than "regulate". What's more, they are actually spies born within Guardian City, attached to the dead country.
Thinking of what he had seen in Weidun City and the atrocities they had done, Bai Nanyu was extremely angry.
In order to survive, these people can already give up as human beings.
Perhaps this metaphor shouldn't be at all, because dogs aren't a bad thing. In order to attach themselves to the dead country and show their sincerity, they can incite an uprising in the city, and they can desperately make all kinds of illegal moves, and the ultimate goal is that the dead country can let them go when they destroy the city.
Then, the dead country was "moved" by their sincerity and awarded them the title of "Guardian of the Dead Country". Maybe they know they're just being used, but they think it's funny that this is the only way to survive.
"Are you here to spy on me, or are you here to make trouble?" Bai Nanyu's voice sounded, and blood dripped down her snow-white arm to the ground.
"No, no, we're just here to inform a slacking 'player'. The man didn't seem to care, "The downtown building is going to be blown up." ”
"What?"
"If it's bombed, what will happen as a 'watchman' guarding the city?"
Before the man's words fell, the white-haired girl had no intention of continuing to listen, stood up and ran away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye......
The breeze blows, and the white figure ghostly walks through the buildings. As the filthy rats fled the streets and alleys, the white-haired girl stood on the top of a barely reachable tall building, like a stone statue watching into the distance.
"Guards of the Dead Country", this kind of person is like a cockroach at home, since he saw one in Black Lake City, it means that there is a nest in Black Lake City. It seems that as a "watchman", her next mission is coming again.
"Drove them away?" Xiao Jing appeared beside Bai Nanyu unconsciously again.
"Sort of. ”
Looking at the figures of those people in the distance, a worry once again surfaced in Bai Nanyu's heart. Looking at her face full of uneasiness, Xiao Jing naturally understood why this was and was ready to deal with it.
"Don't worry. Xiao Jing gently bumped Bai Nanyu's body from the side with her elbow, "You must know that evil things are always rejected by people, and people will definitely stand on your side." Although this game may seem unreasonable, they will understand that you have been protecting them. ”
"Yes, yes, and the citizens of Weidun City also understand, don't they?"
The atmosphere was once again dull because of these words, but Xiao Jing, who had always hoped for optimism, did not intend to continue like this, so she kept trying to find ways to say something.
It's just that as soon as she spoke, Bai Nanyu snatched the right to speak.
"Xiao Jing. ”
"That'...... Yes...... Huh?"
"You say, why doesn't my sister want to meet me? Bai Nanyu bit her lip tangledly, "I've been trying to contact her all this time, but to no avail." ”
"Would you love to meet her?"
"Hmm...... Oh no...... I...... Yes...... Well...... Maybe I don't want to ......."
Xiao Jing squinted slightly, watching Bai Nanyu's long snow-white hair fluttering quietly in the harmonious wind, if it wasn't white hair, maybe she wouldn't continue to hesitate. Although she kept saying that in order not to get her sister into trouble, she would solve the current matter first and then go to meet her sister, but in fact, as Bai Nanyu's best friend at this time, Xiao Jing knew very well that it was just an excuse.
She was afraid, yes, she was afraid to meet her sister.
"Man...... Ever since I had such a thing as feelings, it has become a lot of things. Xiao Jing suddenly lowered her head and sighed like a weathered old man, "Many people will always miss the beautiful scenery for a while, and after encountering a tragic scene, they will never forget the beautiful scenery, and they will always be unable to let go." However, man must move forward, and man is a creature who is easy to move forward and difficult to retreat. ”
Seeing the inexplicable vicissitudes in Xiao Jing's eyes turn into hope, Bai Nanyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a warmth fill his heart. It was as if Bai Nanyu and Xiao Jing were connected at this time, allowing the warmth in her heart to flow into her heart.
"Xiaoyu, I am also a person who has had a similar experience as you, and I can also understand your inner entanglement. But look at me, aren't you coming out now?" Xiao Jing put her arms around Bai Nanyu's shoulders like a brother, trying to give her strength in this way.
Suddenly, all kinds of thoughts suddenly came together, and Bai Nanyu remembered something.
"By the way, Xiao Jing, just after driving them away, I met Shen Mengyun, and those people came to arrest her. ”
Back to the time when I met the "Guardian of the Dead Country" on campus.
When the man tried to take her hostage only to find out that he had caught the wrong person, he fled without hesitation, throwing away his gun. And while fleeing, he was also screaming at his companions in embarrassment. In order not to attract more trouble, his act of shouting like this must be stopped.
At that moment, bright red blood slipped from the snow-white arm, and before it touched the ground, the white figure had long since disappeared. By the time her eyes refocused on her, she had rushed out dozens of meters away, holding the man down without him reacting at all.
"Look at me. ”
Bai Nanyu's eyes were full of blood, and the originally clear eyes were now filled with a brilliance like a ruby refined from blood. Those eyes are seductive and beautiful, but they are terrifying to those who look directly.
One second, two seconds...... Just a few seconds passed, and the man came back to his senses, and his companion had arrived and was asking him what had happened.
What happened? Did something just happen? Am I arresting someone? Then why am I kneeling on the ground looking at the wall? The man's brain was in a state of confusion, completely oblivious to what had just happened.
"No matter, the security team is coming, I'll look for it next time. Damn, I'm going to kill her next time. ”
One man led the way, and then the gang all left.
The playground was quiet again, but Bai Nanyu, who was standing silently with her back to them, tilted her head slightly, and suddenly felt that someone was pulling her skirt.
A sense of fear rushed to his heart, Bai Nanyu gasped, and subconsciously jumped back. When I took a closer look, I found that there was a familiar face squatting on the ground - Shen Mengyun.
It turned out that she was also in this school.
Shen Mengyun showed that angelic smile, and quickly wrote a paragraph in the small notebook she carried: Thank you for driving them away, they came to arrest me.
"Arrest you, why?" Bai Nanyu asked.
After listening to Bai Nanyu's words, Shen Mengyun once again worked hard to write: Because I took something that was very important to them.
After Shen Mengyun read the words on the small book to Bai Nanyu, she took out a black card. This is a memory card that holds secrets, and she doesn't want to say anything about how she got it and what it is, she just frantically diverts the topic, so that Bai Nanyu can't help but chat with her topic.
After chatting for a while, she said goodbye to Shen Mengyun, ran to the tall building, and met Xiao Jing. At this time, she remembered this incident, so she told Xiao Jing that the black card on Shen Mengyun's body was very important and might bring death to Shen Mengyun.
"Mayor, what's the matter?"
In the mayor's office, Councilor Lee arrives when he is notified by the mayor that he has something to announce.
"I roughly understand the matter of Weidun City. The mayor said and took out a freshly printed piece of something like a contract, "Although this matter is understood, it is still difficult to do. ”
The "contract" in the mayor's hand is something similar to a contract, and once signed, it means that the fate of the signatory is already on the line. This thing, which is similar to the mayor of Guardian City, is to form a team to support the "Watchmen".
That team, it seems that the task is not very difficult, but in fact it is not easy to do.
Mobilize people to support the "watchmen", not afraid to give their lives to absolutely support the "watchmen", collect all the news that is unfavorable to the "watchmen", one person is assassinated, and the others cannot have two hearts......
Treaties like brainwashing are like a chain sticking out of Hades. This chain is connected to another chain, a chain that binds the "watcher". The chain had been pulling her towards hell little by little, and the others, once they signed their names, were part of the chain, pulling the chains with the "watcher".
On this chain, people can die at any time, but no one can shake this chain. For the strength of the chains will grow greater, and if one person wavers, the burden on all will increase.
This is a task that is many times more difficult than the ordinary description.
"Xiao Li, you are also responsible for intelligence collection and processing, and pass on this matter internally. Remember, it's the interior. ”
The mayor handed the "contract" to Councilor Li, and Councilor Li's outstretched hand trembled violently and retracted.
"Mayor...... Do you want to be like the mayor of Guardian City?"
"That's right, we have to protect that girl, that's the best thing to do. ”
A few seconds after the mayor's voice fell, as if it had been brewing for a long time and then exploded, Councillor Lee looked eagerly left and right, and repeatedly glanced at the mayor and the contract. After repeated confirmation, there was no mistake, the mayor himself was in front of him, and this contract was really his handwritten contract.
It was his order that was not wrong, but Councillor Lee was very entangled.
"However, you have also seen the fate of Guardian City......"
"It's okay, as long as people's hearts don't change, we definitely won't lose. You have to trust people, and I believe very much. ”
The anxiety gradually calmed down, and since it was the mayor's order, Councilor Li had no choice but to carry it out silently. After taking the contract, Councillor Li let out a long sigh, and there was no hope in his eyes.
Seeing this, the mayor decided to encourage him a little, so he spoke at length without hurry.
The white figure still walks through the tall buildings of the city, watching the entire city like a falcon prey, monitoring every abnormal behavior. It's been a long time since I did this, and although I still feel like I'm shouldering a heavy responsibility, it's also mixed with more worries.
Before she knew it, she had once again arrived at the downtown building.
Now that you're here, let's take a look at the mayor, that's what she thought. Since the mayor had given her a special pass, she didn't need to be sneaky or go through a lot of complicated summonses.
"Who are you looking for?" said the doorman who stopped Bai Nanyu.
"Mayor. Bai Nanyu said and took out the pass.
Confirming that the pass certainly can't just be a glance, the doorman took the pass to the machine and swiped it out of respect for his profession. During the period of confirming the authenticity, Bai Nanyu waited obediently and silently.
"Yo, little thing. ”
In an instant, it seemed that a sharp blade slashed through Bai Nanyu's back, causing her to tremble violently, and then she was covered in cold sweat.
That voice, yes, that voice is familiar.
The moment she looked up to confirm, a man walked past her with a smile, and she seemed to have been immobilized, only the round eyes on her surprised face twitched uneasily. In her heart, it seemed like a storm was blowing at this moment, and she remembered again that in the alley where a young girl was tortured and killed, the man in formal clothes who killed the woman.
It's him, it's definitely him, why is he here, it turns out that he's been working here?
As if he was being hung by a string, Bai Nanyu turned his head stiffly, looked at the man and the doorman said hello, and waved goodbye very friendly. This friendly appearance made Bai Nanyu feel even more frightened.
Looking at his back, it seemed as if countless sharp knives had slashed through her heart, and it turned out that the Overseer had always been in the most dangerous place for her.
