The silent city exudes an indifferent noise, and the lonely dungeons echo with the cries of the dead.

Pain and fear rose again and again, and the white-haired girl locked in the cross struggled in pain, just freed from the torture of the moment, but was frightened by the next wave of pain that was coming. Pieces of metal were attached to her fingertips and temples, always causing her unbearable pain when the electricity was turned on.

Of course, she hoped that these people would let her go, but she couldn't accept the conditions they put on her.

Be their weapon, stand in front of the people and threaten them to obey the country. To be a bargaining chip and shield for the oppression of the people in the dead country, the white-haired girl was resolutely unwilling to accept it, even if the king of the dead country was flattering, she insisted on not agreeing.

Because of those tortures, tears of pain had flowed into her clothes, and the white-haired girl felt that the world was spinning, her eyes wandered, and even the voice of the dead king sounded in her ears like an illusion.

"See, they chose to hand you over, so what reason do you have to ......?"

"Shut up, you continue to fix me, if you don't kill me, you will be a grandson. The white-haired girl interrupted him angrily.

"Tsk!"

It was the first day after the Guardian City compromised and handed her over, and she finally fell into the hands of the Lost State for the first time in a long time, and was subjected to the same torture. Taking advantage of the fact that she was so tormented that she couldn't breathe, the king of the dead country ran over to brainwash her again, however, this time she couldn't listen to it even more.

"The game isn't over yet. The white-haired girl replied indifferently.

As if he had guessed what the white-haired girl had discussed with the mayor in Weidun City, the king of the dead country smiled confidently, and said to himself without caring about the white-haired girl's stopping.

"Do you think they're really going to clean the room and wait for you to go back?"

"Shut up!" the white-haired girl roared.

"Don't be naïve, even you know that they just found a suitable excuse to get you out of the house......"

"I don't want to hear it!" the white-haired girl still roared.

“...... It's like saying to a guest you don't like, you go out first, I'll clean the room first, and then welcome you back after cleaning, but the door is closed and never opens again. Are you going to climb in through their 'windows'?"

"Shut up...... I'll tell you to shut up!" Perhaps subconsciously slowly agreeing with his words, the white-haired girl began to weaken.

"You're just abandoned, they're just thinking, you're just a white-haired man, why should we have a promising future and hope to go home to die to help you, the living dead who have become a geist?" said the Dead King, glancing contemptuously at the poor child, and laughing.

"I beg you...... Don't say it......"

The white-haired girl's momentum gradually weakened, and her crying and swollen eyes had long lost their pure and beautiful color, but they were only dim and full of indescribable pain.

"Alright, it's over, you just keep being stubborn, I'm going to be busy with our business. ”

Thinking that the game is over, the Dead King has assigned an army to set off for Guardian City, but when he tells the white-haired girl about it, it only makes her refreshed. The white-haired girl looked at the dead king in surprise, yelled at him to stop, and told him once again that the "game" was not over.

"Are you going to keep going? Okay, okay, we have a lot of time anyway, so come on. The king of the dead country turned away proudly.

Is it really not over yet? Are people really reflecting, really welcoming her?

Even the white-haired girl herself didn't know very well, as if she was in a forest shrouded in clouds and mist, and could only walk straight ahead......

In the silence of the night, the white figure walked through the buildings of Black Lake City, and suddenly stopped on a low building.

Beneath the low, two-story building, a down-and-out figure locks his motorcycle on the side of the road and walks towards a small shop nearby.

Barbecue restaurant? The figure on the tall building thought.

Although this small shop has a façade, the interior is not large, so many tables and chairs are placed and it is an open-air restaurant. They stay open until one or two o'clock every night, as if they were specially designed to prepare supper for people who stay up all night.

Oh no, it's not like, it's true.

It is not known when it was opened in the afternoon and closed after midnight, and this kind of rule has long been customary.

Watching people sit around the table at night, eating small dishes and drinking small wine and chatting, full of thoughts flow in everyone's hearts along the overflowing joy. Looking at the table raising the wine glass and touching the glass, and seeing the table chatting and laughing, this down-and-out figure seemed to be looking for something, looked at it a few times, and then silently walked to the boss's side.

Two bottles of wine, a few appetizers, this simple and simple food, for these people living at the bottom, is better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas at the dinner party.

As soon as he finished ordering, he was about to find a place to sit down, but he was stopped by someone.

Time returned to noon on this day, Bai Nanyu was still wandering around the city alone as usual.

Catch the bad guys and help the people, a very classic big hero scene. But on this day, when she was wandering, she met a special person - Wang Aoxiang, the captain of the Border Self-Defense Force detachment.

It was noon time, and because he was busy with affairs, he went to a small branch, and this branch only had one building, and there was no canteen, so Captain Wang went downstairs. Just as he was thinking about what to eat at a nearby evaluation restaurant, Captain Wang heard a soft call.

The voice was so weak that it was hallucinational, so mixed with the noise that he almost didn't hear it. However, he was still relatively alert, and when he looked behind him, Bai Nanyu's petite figure had just walked out of a sea of people.

"Hey. Bai Nanyu waved his hand and smiled, "It's Captain Wang Aoxiang of the guards." ”

Bai Nanyu was wearing a cotton coat at this time, and after saying hello, he put his hands in his pockets, which seemed to be very cold. It's close to the suburbs, so it's normal to be colder than the city.

She seemed to be deliberately looking for Captain Wang, and Captain Wang had also received a call from Bai Yu not long ago, saying that Bai Nanyu was looking for him.

It was also inconvenient to talk on the street, and it happened that Bai Nanyu hadn't eaten lunch yet, so Captain Wang decided to invite her to a meal. So, they went to a cheap restaurant and sat down.

"Captain Wang, I came to you this time to ask you for a favor. ”

"Please. ”

Time back to the present, in this open-air restaurant at night, the down-and-out figure just finished ordering and turned around, and found a person standing in front of him.

This person he is very familiar with, this is Wang Aoxiang, the captain of the guard team.

As a special force of the Guard, many people in the Border Self-Defense Force have thought of joining them, especially this down-and-out person, and even take it as an honor, so he is very familiar with the captain of the Guard. But he was just a nobody, and Captain Wang didn't know him, so he was a little panicked when he saw Captain Wang meet him at this time.

He almost joined the guard or investigation team, but was eventually assigned to the security team, and gradually became the leader of a squad. I was injured some time ago, and I was a little depressed in my predicament.

Yes, this down-and-out person is Wu Shengquan, the captain of the security squad who was injured some time ago.

"Come, Captain Wang, I will give you a drink. Wu Shengquan raised his glass respectfully towards Captain Wang.

"Hey, don't, you still call me by my name, Wang Aoxiang. Captain Wang waved his hand modestly, and drank it all with a touch of glasses.

After a brief exchange, the two found an empty table and sat down, ate a little peanuts before the meal, drank wine and started chatting.

Captain Wang actually took the initiative to find him, and after he was busy with his own affairs, he found the Border Self-Defense Force Security Corps Branch, and after asking Wu Shengquan's team members, he learned that he often went to this place for supper, so he found this place.

Coincidentally, he saw Wu Shengquan's motorcycle, and turned his face to see him ordering.

It just happened that this situation was suitable for a heart-to-heart conversation between brothers, so Captain Wang stopped him and said hello, and then also ordered some snacks and took two bottles of beer.

"You have a great sense of justice, I heard that you were caught by the people of the Dead Guards, and you didn't give in after being tortured. ”

"Ah, yes. Wu Shengquan raised a glass of wine that had just been poured and took a sip, "I almost thought I was going to die that time, but I didn't expect to pick up a life." Actually, it would have been honorable to die there at that time, and the guards came to save me at a great cost, so I am very grateful to you. ”

Wang Aoxiang smiled proudly and raised his glass to take a sip. After all, Wu Shengquan mentioned the guards, and it was normal to feel relieved to hear that his subordinates had done good deeds and were praised.

"Anyway, is it worth it for you to save an ordinary nobody like me, with so much effort? Although I am a squad leader, my team members can take my place at any time, isn't it better for you to give up on me?"

"How can we let a warrior who stands in front of others bleed in vain, while he hides behind his back and enjoys happiness. ”

"What ......"

"We can't lose a single person like you, so we expect people like you to lead everyone, infect everyone, and make everyone become a warrior with a sense of justice. ”

A side dish was served, and the fragrance instantly wafted out, but it didn't seem to be able to arouse Wu Shengquan's appetite.

He fiddled with his chopsticks and hesitated for a moment, not starting to eat.

"What's wrong?" Wang Aoxiang asked.

Wu Shengquan shook his head, laughed and moved his chopsticks. The food was in his mouth, but he was in no mood to taste it, as if he was out of his body.

"Team Wang...... Yes...... Wang Aoxiang...... Captain, I'll call you Captain Wang, I'm not used to calling you by your name. Wu Shengquan smiled awkwardly, and saw Wang Aoxiang nodding before continuing, "Captain Wang, there should be something wrong with you appearing here today." ”

"Ah...... No, it's just a chance encounter. Wang Aoxiang explained with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I don't usually see you, are you starting to be interested in eating something around here? I can recommend something to you, I'm familiar with ...... around here."

Before I knew it, everything I ordered was on the table. The two seemed to have endless words, and the people around them walked and came and went, and it was not until nearly eleven o'clock that they gradually got tired of talking.

Happy time is always as fast as an illusion, and it seems like a dream to meet and just finish talking.

The two of them were already slightly drunk, but Wu Shengquan was still pouring wine into his stomach, looking like he was unspeakably sad.

"You seem to have something on your mind. Wang Aoxiang asked with concern.

Wu Shengquan hesitated for a few seconds, perhaps with the strength of wine, he said boldly: "It's about work." Didn't I lose my troops during this time? They began to doubt the ability of me and my teammates, and began to think that I would be able to make a strong army, and maybe I would have to lay off the staff. ”

"But aren't casualties a regular occurrence?"

"Yes, casualties are inevitable against bandits, but after that little white-haired girl came to this city, we looked like a bunch of rubbish when we had a comparison. Wu Shengquan began to gradually have no tendency to restrain at this time, and said indignantly as soon as the wine glass was put down, "Robbed my job, caused me to be injured at work, and comforted me without a word of being scolded, my team members will face layoffs if something happens, disaster...... Die, duh. ”

Wang Aoxiang was a little worried when he said this, looked around a few times, and then patted Wu Shengquan on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"You seem to be a little drunk. ”

"I'm not drunk!" Wu Shengquan said word by word, took the wine glass and drank it all, and poured another glass.

Wang Aoxiang wanted to stop him from drinking, but he couldn't speak, and in the end, he toasted as he wanted.

There were fewer and fewer people on the street, and the silver-gray car drove a short distance away, honked its horn under a building, and picked up a woman. Wu Shengquan and Wang Aoxiang glanced at each other casually, and then continued to eat side dishes.

Actually, it is easy for a person to fall, but it is very difficult for him to stand on his own feet. This difficulty is not only whether you can manage yourself well and motivate yourself, but also external factors. When you shine, you must learn to protect your light and heat, and not let it dissipate in a cold world. Wang Aoxiang looked at the wine glass and muttered to himself.

Listening to his way of speaking like an essay, Wu Shengquan smiled and teased: "Captain Wang, has you suddenly started to discuss life in literature and art?"

"Ha, yes. Wang Aoxiang put down the cup and looked at Wu Shengquan's eyes, "You have actually done a very good job, you are willing to stand silently in front of others, endure unknown pain, and persist for so many years." I hope you can go on, don't doubt, you have to believe in yourself, you are doing the right thing, there are people behind you who understand you and support you......"

“...... A warrior like you, who stands in front of people, is a well-deserved hero. ”

On the tall building, the white figure muttered silently, and saw Wu Shengquan starting to look, so he hurriedly hid.

"Captain Wang...... This way of speaking doesn't look like you would say it, does it?" Wu Shengquan was a little flustered, and he looked so frightened that he woke up a lot.

Wang Aoxiang was still smiling and looking at Wu Shengquan, but the smile at this time was like someone would only show it after they had guessed something.

Yes, the last words were indeed not said by him personally. Since he was guessed, there was no need to hide it, Wang Aoxiang spread his hands and explained: "Yes, in fact, these words were told to you by a white-haired girl. She told me that you wouldn't be okay if she came by herself, so she asked me to speak for her. ”

Wu Shengquan was stunned, and the cup was about to fall.

"Oh yes, and one more word, I'm really sorry for stealing your job. Wang Aoxiang added.

After a while, he came back to his senses, couldn't help but laugh but covered his mouth: "That little thing ......"

A relaxed breath behind the voice made Wang Aoxiang feel the relief in Wu Shengquan's heart at this time, like a person who was locked by an invisible shackle, and was deliberately discovered and unshackled one day.

Yes, he'd been hiding his pain, and he wanted someone to understand him, but for so long he had just been silently patient. Men, he just wants to be strong, and he doesn't want to pour out his bitterness like a girl. As a result, after so long, his suffering was discovered by the person he hated the most, and he also took into account their current situation, so he specially asked someone to bring him a message for her.

That child, as expected, is still not as annoying as imagined, but not annoying.

Wu Shengquan's eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly picked up a glass full of wine and poured it down, trying to suppress the tears that were not angry.

She has also been working hard to publicize recently, telling people in this city that people like you should not be treated as useless people, but should be used as role models, dare to take responsibility, dare to stand in front of others. Wang Aoxiang opened his mouth one after another as if he was mending a knife, "It may be a little naïve to say, but she really hopes that people in this city can treat others as their other half and take responsibility with others." ”

Finally, Wu Shengquan still couldn't bear it anymore and stood up as soon as he put the cup.

"Is there anything else Captain Wang does, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go first...... I went to check out first, and I was going to ...... late I'm going back. ”

"It's okay, I'll pay for it...... Hey......"

Although Wang Aoxiang wanted to pay, Wu Shengquan walked to the counter unstoppably, said goodbye to him after paying, hurriedly ran to the motorcycle, and hurriedly rode the motorcycle away.

Wang Aoxiang smiled helplessly, suddenly looked at the white figure above the building, waved his hand, and the white figure also waved at him.

Such a hurried appearance is understandable, after all, he has been subjected to ridicule and discrimination, even if he has been trying to insist on his heart to be a shield for the people, but this hint is only like an anesthetic and does not last long and has side effects. At this time, he finally got recognition, understanding and encouragement, so he could no longer suppress the soft side of his heart.

Even a man who stands up to the sky has a weak side like a girl.

The surrounding scenery passed by quickly, Wu Shengquan was driving a speeding motorcycle, and the mood of wanting to endure going to the residence couldn't help but explode in retrospect.

At this moment, he was in the cold crowd, but he felt the warmth of the shining heart outside the crowd.
