Falling garbage bags rolled on the ground, abandoning the corner as the wind swept through the alley. Suddenly, it trembled gently in the alley as if it felt fear, and then, a white figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking inside.

This is the gap between a tall building and a medium-height building, only about five or six meters wide.

After standing in the alley, she began to scan again, making sure that no one was seeing her and that no surveillance was watching her. When her glowing red eyes gradually turned back to a clear color, she took out a utility knife.

The blade of the artisan blade kept making a "click" sound, causing her to look around nervously again. After finally drawing the blade, I saw that the bright blade quickly slashed towards her snow-white arm, and her soft skin opened a wound two or three centimeters long, and blood gushed out in the blink of an eye.

The white-haired girl bent over in pain, slowly let go of the hand holding the utility knife, and watched the utility knife levitate in mid-air so incredibly. Then, it retracted its blade and flew back into her hand.

Putting the utility knife away, she once again made sure that no one saw her, took a deep breath, held her breath, and took a half-step back. In an instant, her figure suddenly looked like a white rabbit, and like a bird of prey that soared into the air after swooping on the water, jumped slightly, stepped on the wall and kicked again, and the whole person rushed directly to the top of the high-rise building with the momentum of soaring up to 90,000 miles.

As she approached the rooftop, she suddenly slowed down as if she had been caught by something, and landed perfectly on the edge of the rooftop.

Once she was on her feet, she pulled out her phone, dialed it, and inadvertently glanced at her arm.

The wound has healed completely, only a little blood remains near the wound.

Before she could say anything, the phone was quickly connected, and it was the voice of the receptionist at the front desk. This is a very normal situation, and if you want to call the mayor, you must go through the receptionist.

"Hey, please help transfer to the mayor's office. ”

"Hmm...... Are you Miss Bai Nanyu? Okay, transfer right away. ”

After waiting for dozens of seconds in the anxious flames, she finally waited for the mayor's voice. After hearing the mayor's inquiry, she hurriedly responded to the mayor's words and hurried to the edge of the rooftop near the downtown building. From here, the mayor's office can be easily seen.

"Hey, I'm Bai Nanyu. Mayor, are you alright, is there anything out of the ordinary?"

The mayor was stunned for a moment, a little foggy, and a little worried and doubtful: "What's the matter?" ”

"That's it...... Have you seen anyone doing anything unusual......"

The mayor frowned, thinking about what had happened recently, and there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. So he smiled easily and persuaded Bai Nanyu on the other side of the phone to take it easy.

"Mayor, you probably won't believe it, there's a spy in your place. I don't know where he works in the city government, anyway, pay attention to a guy with the surname Li. ”

"Surname Li?"

"Hmm. ”

The mayor nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly noticed that someone was standing by the door waiting, and then asked Bai Nanyu to wait and talk to that person.

"Xiao Li, what's the matter?"

"That's right, Mayor, there's a serious arson in the city, and the fire has spread to half of the seven districts. The fire is still ongoing, and the perpetrators are nowhere to be seen, so you may need to deal with it. ”

"Got it. The mayor picked up the phone again, "Hey, are you still there? I have some business to attend to here, so if there is nothing else, hang up first." ”

When he heard the voice of the person who was talking to the mayor on his mobile phone, Bai Nanyu was already stunned. Fear slowly crept into her head with the voice on the phone, creeping up her spine and sending shivers down her spine. When the mayor spoke to her again, she didn't react for a moment, and hesitated to respond.

By the time she reacted to warn the mayor, the mayor had already hung up.

Bai Nanyu gasped and shouted at the mobile phone a few times, only to find that the phone had been hung up. At that moment, she had the idea of breaking into the mayor's office directly from here, but she eventually stopped. She chose not to move, this may be the right choice, if it was the former her, she may have rushed in.

Time back to Weidun City half a year ago, in the downtown building of Uprising Street, the mayor of Weidun City was dealing with recent things and was very busy.

The noise of people, the noise of traffic, all the noise in this small space was like a floating cloud - until a childish voice caught the attention of the mayor.

Looking at the little black-haired boy running towards him, the mayor temporarily put down what he was holding and hugged him in his arms in the face of his collision. This is his son, and when he came into this world, the son who was protected by him in his arms came with him.

It was both a blessing and a misfortune for his son to come here, not to mention that this feeling was even stronger after learning that he and his son were no longer in the same world.

"Dad, why do you hate that white-haired sister so much, she is obviously a good person. ”

The son curled up in the mayor's arms and asked in that innocent tone.

"Because, everyone is just standing from a different perspective. The corners of the mayor's mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled unintentionally, "For them, that young lady will be dangerous." They all have families like ours, and they don't want to see their families without seeing them. ”

"Worried about not being able to see your family?"

"Yes, everyone wants to go home and be with their families. ”

The son thought for a moment, and the mayor seemed to look at him with some nervousness, expecting him not to ask that question. Eventually, however, the son asked.

"Really...... So, Dad, can we still go home?"

"Yes. "The mayor did not hesitate.

"When. ”

The bright lights suddenly turned pale in the mayor's world, as if snowflakes were falling on the heads of the two of them. Under the reflection of this light, the mayor's hair was particularly gray compared to that young son.

"Soon home, very soon. ”

Suddenly, Bai Nanyu woke up from her dream, and at that moment, it seemed that something was making her uncomfortable and breathless. Catalyzed by Fang Cai's dream, those painful memories sprouted and turned into thorny vines, which tightly strangled Bai Nanyu's chest and neck like revenge, making her feel oppressed and uneasy.

She patted her head, trying to chase away the bad memories and relax herself.

However, the more I tried to forget, the more angry those memories came back. In desperation, those depressed emotions once again made Bai Nanyu unable to control himself.

At this moment, there was only one sentence in her mind: help me.

"Troubled by the affairs of Guardian City again?"

A familiar voice was like a lifesaver that recalled the painful and depressed Bai Nanyu and pulled her out of the quagmire of depression. It was Xiao Jing, looking at Bai Nanyu's face full of tears at this time, she pursed her mouth and shook her head, and gently wiped it for her.

"Sorry to disturb your dreams, I let the nightmare wake you up. ”

"I'm asleep, oh no!" Bai Nanyu hurriedly stood up and lay on the roof guardrail.

"Don't worry, Nightmare has been watching you all along. Xiao Jing smiled, "You've always been too nervous lately, you must not have slept well, pay attention to rest, who did you protect without spirit." ”

It's night now, and Bai Nanyu has been guarding here because he is worried, and it turns out that this guard is a day. Since he didn't sleep well last night, Bai Nanyu fell asleep at some point, probably because he felt tired and squatted down.

Seeing that Bai Nanyu was still immersed in the nightmare just now, Xiao Jing squatted down and asked softly, "Do you still trust people?"

That might seem strange to say. Bai Nanyu said with a smile, "I believe that others will give their lives for strangers or something, and I won't be willing to do it." ”

"It doesn't have to be a matter of giving lives, in fact, if people had come together earlier, maybe almost no one would have given their lives. Xiao Jing swore by it.

"Really......"

Bai Nanyu looked thoughtful, and his eyes were still full of suspicion.

"I am the one who experienced the 'Blood Sea Incident', and I was the temporary leader of the Bad Boys Alliance at that time, and I know very well the reason for the withdrawal of troops at that time. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Nanyu looked at Xiao Jing in surprise. Xiao Jing, who said this, the confidence on her face just appeared, and suddenly disappeared again, replaced by an unspeakable pain. If you blame those who stand by and watch, maybe it means some moral kidnapping, after all, it may cost lives.

I don't know when it began, there are fewer and fewer heroes who are willing to give their lives to protect others, is it because they are all old, or because they have also changed with the times? However, in fact, here, people don't need to be heroes who give their lives for others, they just need to be a person who is willing to regard other people's lives as equal or slightly superior to themselves.

In this way, in a way, those heroes who are willing to give their lives for others may really be "extinct".

"This ...... Maybe it won't work, and if those residents were me, I might have excluded myself. ”

"Humans are herd creatures, and as long as someone does something bad and gets a benefit, then the butterfly effect will happen. Xiao Jing's tone was inexplicably serious, "But you have to remember that this world is not made of wicked people, and don't think that this world is filthy just because someone has smeared a handful of mud on your face." ”

The air was silent again, and only the bustle of the city remained, pervading the endless darkness.

"Xiao Jing. ”

"Huh?"

"When did you start to be so philosophical? ”

Xiao Jing was stunned, carefully thinking about everything that had happened in Black Lake City before, and the boy who dragged her back from her dangerous dream back to the dark reality suddenly appeared in front of her. The reality is indeed cruel, but human beings cannot live in a greenhouse forever, and people have to move forward.

"If a person wants to go back, then he has to turn around. But as soon as he turned, he could no longer see the hope ahead, but the dead end of everything that had passed behind him. ”

"What?" Bai Nanyu didn't react from Xiao Jing's sudden words for a while.

"Xiaoyu, don't doubt it, keep going, do your own everything. As long as that's right, it will one day give you a fair reply. ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly stood up after speaking, as if she was going to run away, but was stopped by Bai Nanyu.

"Xiao Jing, wait a minute. Bai Nanyu also stood up, "What's wrong with you, is it because I reminded you of something uncomfortable?"

Xiao Jing, who was standing, tried to empty her brain, but those warm memories always naughtily broke into her brain, making her extremely entangled at this time when she had not been nostalgic for her family for a long time.

I miss them so much, but I can't think about it.

"Xiaoyu, I should have told you that I also have a sister, right. Xiao Jing smiled and turned her head, "Although my sister is much younger than your sister, I also deceived her just like you, so that she is still waiting for me until now." ”

"Xiao Jing ......"

"You have to know that waiting for a loved one should not be a chain that binds you, it should be a motivation for you to keep going. Do you want them to finally come into this world and never see you again?"

After that, Xiao Jing rarely left so actively, leaving Bai Nanyu, who was standing in place and smiling, standing quietly in the cold wind.

It turns out that I have always been wrong, and even she hasn't let go of the past.

Bai Nanyu smiled, suddenly thought about it, and suddenly said to himself, "That's not right...... It's not that she hasn't let go, she's always remembered. Really, she's still much more mature than me. ”

The wind at night was blowing quietly, blowing Bai Nanyu's hanging hair and skirt, and I didn't know where I wanted to take her. Looking at the time on her phone, it was already late at night, and when she looked at the mayor again, she noticed that someone appeared next to the mayor.

Due to his busy work, the mayor who stayed up late to become a daily routine was really unable to restrain himself and fell asleep at his desk. After he fell asleep, a person quietly appeared in the office, Bai Nanyu took out the prepared binoculars and observed him carefully. The moment he saw his face clearly, Bai Nanyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It's him, you can't be wrong, that's the regulator!

At this moment, Bai Nanyu couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly took out the utility knife in his pocket while continuing to observe, however, the utility knife fell to the ground. When she was about to cry in panic, picked up the utility knife and looked at the mayor again, she was stunned again.

She watched as the man took off his coat and silently laid it over the sleeping mayor, then smiled quite naturally. Yes, a very natural smile, in this smile, Bai Nanyu couldn't see any malice. Contrary to expectations, she could even see a sense of anticipation and indescribable satisfaction in this smile.

Bai Nanyu rubbed his eyes vigorously, confirming over and over again that this was not an illusion.

How is it possible? The regulator who has done all the bad things actually quietly draped the mayor in the middle of the night instead of murdering the mayor in the middle of the night.

Bai Nanyu continued to observe, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Suddenly, the regulator glanced at the picture on the mayor's desk, and the smile vanished in an instant, replaced by unspeakable pain. Watch his mouth open and close slightly, as if he was talking to himself.

At this point, in order to find out what he said, Xiaoyu begins to call out to Nightmare, wanting Nightmare to read what the Overseer is saying. However, instead of answering her, Nightmare keeps talking to herself. Bai Nanyu called many times, and the nightmare finally began to speak to her:

"That's ...... Daddy......"
