Volume 1 The New Guest in the City Chapter 2 It was an unforgivable mistake

The newborn morning sun has just bloomed a slightly reddish light, and two petite figures are running down the street bathed in the early morning sun.

"Sister, if you can't catch up with me, you will be punished. ”

"You...... Give me...... Stop ......"

The frolicking figure seems to be a relaxed silhouette play, casting the beginning of the day's endless joy.

The birds in the treetops and the cicadas on the trunks of the trees seemed to be infected by this joy, and gently sounded the music for it, making the otherwise joyful morning even more relaxed.

"Ahhh......h I'm still counting how many minutes my sister will come over today, but I didn't expect it to follow me......" The short-haired girl said with two cans of drinks.

The girl with short hair seems to be the younger sister, and unlike the older sister, she wears casual clothes, while the older sister wears a dress.

They were in front of a convenience store at this time, and every morning, the younger sister would forcibly take her out for a morning run, and finally go to the convenience store to buy breakfast.

"You...... Can you ...... No...... Bully...... Sister ...... "My sister was almost out of breath, but she still managed to finish the sentence.

"They all say that you lack exercise, take it, and then go to the library to read the books after drinking and having breakfast. ”

When she heard that she was going to read a book, her sister immediately became excited, but before she could say anything, she choked on her, and those words were completely replaced by coughing.

"Eh, I didn't expect my sister to like to read......" my sister said, taking a sip of her drink.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm a dead house......" My sister slammed her fist on the stone pillar next to her, and there seemed to be a crisp sound between her fingers, "Ahh......h Pain and pain......"

The younger sister helplessly took the drink can and looked at her sister expressionlessly, as if she wanted to say "stupid" out loud with a hesitant look.

After the pain subsided, my sister continued: "Although I am a game dead house, I am also a literary girl, okay, I have written novels, you don't know." ”

"Was it read out by a classmate?" said the younger sister and immediately covered her smile with a drink, but in the end she couldn't hold back and almost squirted out the drink.

"Hey you!"

Without hesitation, the older sister put her arms around her neck, pinched her sister's soft cheek with her free hand, and made a cry similar to that of a kitten when threatening the enemy, while the younger sister shrank her head and laughed. Only at this time,The younger sister who usually looks very cold will become naughty.。

My sister doesn't hate my sister like this at all, but she especially likes to provoke her sister to get her, seeing her sister angry but can't bear to hurt her, she is extremely happy, and regards this as a kind of happiness.

She often thinks that if she can be held in her arms by her sister like this for the rest of her life, then even if she dies like this, she will be satisfied.

The convenience store owner heard them outside the door and looked at them with a smile on his face behind the counter. This happened almost every day, and for him it was a little bit of a color to his boring and boring life.

He liked the sisters very much, their energetic appearance reminded him of his own childhood, and when he thought of it, his longing for life was aroused again.

Just to see the funny and cute appearance of the two of them again, the convenience store owner who was almost crushed by life rekindled his interest in life again and again.

After a while, they finally walked into the convenience store, and the drink that my sister had just picked up was from the vending machine outside the door. The moment they walked into the convenience store, it was as if they were bringing sunlight to a dark corner, and the convenience store instantly became happy.

"I thought you'd see that, once upon a time there was a princess who was captured by the prince and then the demon king went to ......" The sister was stunned for a moment, "Wait for me to say it's mixed......

"Once upon a time there was a demon king who was taken away by the princess, and the prince sent the king to save her. My sister raised the corners of her mouth without emotion.

"What a mess ......"

"Poof...... Hmph......"

My sister couldn't help laughing, and then the boss also covered her mouth and laughed, and the indifferent sister couldn't pretend to be able to put it down in the end, so they laughed together.

The joy lasted for a short time, and everything became blurry, as if it were covered by a fog. In a trance, all the scenery became dim, and the lonely girl sat on the big bed, still smiling at the corners of her mouth.

"Stupid...... Sister ......"

The sky was getting dark, and under the cold wind, all the tired things began to rest quietly. The blue moonlight was as cold as frost, and the black shadows that followed the walking spread a faint loneliness.

Every late at night, the shops in the streets and alleys close one after another, and the bookstore that is still lit up also begins to rest.

Boss Wu reluctantly scanned the entire bookstore, as if he wanted to freeze the figure of people concentrating on reading and continue forever.

"It's not too early......"

Boss Wu breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the electric switch and turned on the flashlight, and the entire bookstore was immersed in darkness.

Suddenly, he noticed a figure standing in the darkness outside the door, and then began to move again. At first glance, the figure looked similar to the girl he had taken in, but when he walked in, he found that there was still a big difference.

The figure was a young girl, with short and medium black hair, and looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a gray-blue sweatshirt and light blue denim shorts, and her body was relatively thin, about 1.5 meters by sight.

And on her feet are a pair of cloth shoes that fit well, because she is wearing invisible socks, she can't see the edge of the socks, and her whole leg is bare from the trouser leg to the shoe.

She seems to have a very obsessive pursuit of blue, and even the watch in her hand is blue.

In this city, the chances of crime are very high. And, because of a certain "peculiarity" of this world, after many people have disappeared because they have been kidnapped, no one generally cares.

Unless those people have a lot of friends, people know each other, and they're willing to help.

And a girl who looks so weak is hanging out alone in the middle of the night, which can't help but make people feel a little worried. The rampant traffickers may take her captive, sell her as slaves, and possibly eventually have her organs removed.

But Boss Wu didn't know her, and he didn't say anything for fear of being treated as a bad person, so he just paid a little attention and did his own thing.

However, when he closed the faΓ§ade, he stumbled upon the girl standing not far behind him.

In the middle of the night, a young girl quietly appeared in front of the bookstore, staring at him silently behind Boss Wu, which was a little weird to think about, which couldn't help but make him shiver.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Boss Wu tentatively.

The girl reacted sluggishly, nodded silently, and then approached, as if in prayer, and said, "You're the owner of this bookstore, right, I heard that you've inspired a lot of people." ”

"Ah...... Oh...... That ......"

"Can I ask a question?" the girl kept staring at Boss Wu, her face was so indifferent that it was weird, "You said, a killing machine that kills countless people, said in front of you that she wants to change her mind and be an ordinary child, will you forgive her for the mistakes she once made?"

This question was a little inexplicable, and Boss Wu didn't understand why she asked such a question, so he just answered it gently according to his own point of view.

If the murderer still has the idea of repentance, then it means that he is still saved. After all, horses have stumbled, people have misses, and a growing tree may grow crooked if it is not supported. For those who dare to repent, what is most needed is tolerance. Give him a chance to make up for the mistakes he has made, better than endless revenge. ”

The girl listened carefully, as if listening to a lesson to purify the soul. Unconsciously, a look of relief appeared on her face that was originally as cold as a machine.

"Thank you. ”

The night was silent, and the thin figure gradually faded into the darkness, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

For that girl, Boss Wu was still a little worried and a little curious - why did she ask such a question, could it be that she had a murderer friend who asked her for forgiveness in front of her?

More than ten minutes later, Boss Wu returned to his residence. It was already midnight at this time, and the room where the "guest" was still brightly lit and did not seem to have slept.

Boss Wu locked the door and wanted to check on her before going to bed, after all, she was very sick. However, when he reached the door, a very clear and powerful voice was heard.

"Well, open the door...... No need to knock ......"

She was obviously seriously ill, and it was impossible for her to recover so quickly with such a high fever, and she could still speak so normally. Boss Wu was stunned for a moment, thinking it was an illusion, but he still pushed the door open.

When he opened the door, he found the girl sitting on the edge of the bed, her face ruddy, and she did not look seriously ill at all.

She still had a fever in the morning, and she could sit on the edge of the bed like this at night, Boss Wu couldn't believe it at all, and walked up to her with concern and touched her forehead.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu, I'm fine......" Nangong Yu said a little shyly.

"Is it really okay? I still have a fever this morning, but don't be reckless. ”

"It's really okay...... I'm also curious about why my recovery ability is so strong, I'm really fine......" Nangong Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, "Uncle Wu, I'm ...... I haven't slept until now, because I want to say goodbye to you......"

"Farewell, where are you going?"

Looking at Boss Wu's eyes, Nangong Yu suddenly felt a little at a loss as if he was bound by something, and stammered in reply.

"I don't know...... Like before...... Wandering...... What the hell ......"

Boss Wu frowned, and his uneasy expression clearly expressed a strong worry. After all, he had met a girl once, because he said that he could live a good life without bothering him, but the next time he saw that girl, it was on the news of child abuse.

This incident made him regret and grief immensely, and he made up his mind that he would not let anyone he rescued live on his own casually.

"Son, you've only been here for a short time, and if you're doing it because you're scared in a strange place, and you're worried that someone will hurt you, I can assure you that I'm not going to hurt you in the slightest. ”

After that, Boss Wu patted Nangong Yu's shoulder like a father, and continued in a serious tone: "Child, there are a lot of villains outside, and it is better for a child like you to find a place to live a stable life." ”

Nangong Yu seems to understand Boss Wu's worries, or can see everything Boss Wu is thinking, even the girl who was brutally tortured and killed.

At that moment, she gave up the idea of leaving for the time being and decided to stay for the time being.

Seeing that she no longer insisted, Boss Wu turned around and left with confidence, but the moment he arrived at the door and was about to close the door, Nangong Yu spoke again.

"Wait...... Can I ask a question......"

"Huh?" Boss Wu turned his head with a puzzled expression.

"......What if" Nangong Yu hesitated, and finally decided to say that euphemistically, "If a murderer who has killed countless people asks for your forgiveness in front of you, will you forgive her......"

Boss Wu was taken aback, and stammered a little for a while, after all, this question was just asked by another girl, is this a coincidence?

Because he had been teased by children many times, Boss Wu was a little vigilant, but after hesitating for a moment, he seriously repeated what he had said to another girl.

Nangong Yu listened seriously, showing a different reaction from the girl just now. She obviously didn't agree with Boss Wu's point of view, her slightly pale lips opened and closed, and she wanted to speak and stopped.

In the end, she still chose to change the topic: "Uncle Wu, why did you behave like that just now...... It is...... Very surprised......"

Nangong Yu's appearance was suddenly a little vigilant, giving people the feeling that if she said the wrong thing, she would explode in the next second, and she seemed to be very afraid of what Boss Wu knew.

"No, no, no. Boss Wu waved his hand, "Not long ago, a girl asked the same question. ”

"Coincidence......" Nangong Yu finally relaxed his vigilance and became quiet.

In the silent night, the unspeakable sorrow extends infinitely, and the girl who waits in the darkness meditates quietly. Those thoughts were as difficult as a mess and as fragile as spider's silk.

Those pictures that made her timid and guilty appeared from time to time in those pictures that made her extremely happy and warm.

Broken buildings, fallen stars, cries of pain, and weeping people.

The girl walks down the streets that are almost in ruins, and the shattered city is devastated. She was so miserable that she collapsed to the ground, as small as a fallen leaf.

"Rest well, don't think about those sad things. Boss Wu saw her entanglement at this time, patted her shoulder again, stood up and left the room.

The silent city had passed through the long dark night, and the crimson glow on the horizon finally appeared. The girl stood on the roof of a tall building, and as far as the eye could see, the whole city was full of hope, like a city shrouded in darkness, and finally ushered in the dawn.

She couldn't help but ponder, hoping that her world would also usher in the dawn.

"Have you heard? There have been a lot of white-haired rioters recently, you have to be careful, old Wu. ”

When Nangong Yu went downstairs, he happened to hear a middle-aged man talking to Boss Wu at the staircase on the second floor, so he involuntarily stopped and waited.

They chatted for a while, talking about some news and daily life, such as the recent "white-haired" riots.

"White-haired people" are a special kind of human beings in this world, and they are all human beings just like ordinary people. But the difference is that all the hair on their bodies is white, regardless of age.

Brainwashed by lawbreakers, the "white-haired people" began to consider themselves revolutionaries and began to make a fuss in urban areas for freedom and sovereignty. This puts great pressure on urban areas, and also makes the impression of "white-haired people" worse and worse.

During the conversation, Boss Wu suddenly noticed the figure in the corridor and stopped talking.

"Uncle Wu...... I think...... I want to go out, but I'll be back in the evening, don't worry. ”

The two returned to the house, Nangong Yu sat on the sofa with her head down, while Boss Wu looked at her with his arms crossed.

Boss Wu was very anxious about Nangong Yu's disappearance just now, but he was a little relieved when he heard the middle-aged man who was talking to him say that he saw Nangong Yu and that she only went to the rooftop.

"It's messy outside......

"I ...... I would really be back......"

Looking at her determined eyes, Boss Wu sighed, still a little uneasy, especially when the "white-haired" people rioted.

"Please......"

Boss Wu looked at her, his long snow-white hair was reflected in his eyes, and suddenly, a fluke psychology took over him.

If it were a normal child, something might happen, but if it was her, it might not be.

In the end, Boss Wu agreed to her and took out the dress he had chosen for her.

She started out wearing a dress that was generally white and slightly blue, full of stains and tears that had already made it unrecognizable.

Boss Wu didn't just help Nangong Yu as a girl, so there are other women's clothes in his house, if Nangong Yu feels that this dress is not satisfied, he can find the one in the wardrobe by himself.

After explaining and agreeing on the time, Boss Wu left seemingly with confidence.

Subsequently, Nangong Yu went to take a shower and change his clothes at the usual time according to his previous habits-the one given by Boss Wu.

The dress was really to her liking, with a non-conflicting blue and white color scheme, a high-waisted design that showed off her legs, and ruffled lace and a pretty bow. This outfit matches her petite figure, and the shawl-long hair tied up with a double ponytail, looking like an angel blending into the world.

Standing in front of the mirror, Nangong Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes, ran to his original clothes and took out a pair of round-framed glasses, and tried to put them on.

"Hee-hee...... Still looks good without glasses......" Nangong Yu muttered to himself and put away his glasses.

Suddenly, Nangong Yu's smile faded on his face in an instant, and a sense of uneasiness gradually crept up his back.

She sensed something, something unknown had run into the house, and was now watching her secretly.

Nangong Yu picked up the utility knife on the table and shrunk into a ball in the corner of the wall like a hamster. The uneasy feeling was like a thorny vine, tightly wrapping around her all the time, making her nervous tense and unable to break free.

At a glance, she found a dark shadow reflected in the mirror, which frightened her into a cold sweat. But when you look at the location, there's nothing there.

Is it gone? But the feeling is still there, what the hell is it going to do?

Nangong Yu gave up thinking and mustered up the courage to rush to the gate.

However, the moment her hand touched the doorknob, a cold hand slammed into her shoulder.

"Are you sure she's coming to this city?"

On a small hill in the wilderness, a man takes off his hat and looks into the sun at the city in the distance. Scattered crows swirled, spreading inexplicable fear across the endless countryside.

The chirps seemed to be trying to warn someone that something dangerous was coming.

The crow's chirping faded away, and an answer came from the man's headphones.

"Yes, we're pretty sure. ”

After listening to this, the man took off his headphones, his eyes were filled with a trace of confusion, and he was suddenly covered by a strange anger. He smiled, put his headphones away, and put on his hat again. As he walked towards this peaceful city, perhaps its fate was already sealed.

"Really...... Since it's the city you chose, you have to let them think they're unlucky. ”
