Volume 1 The New Guest in the City Chapter 15 The Game of Human Nature
The traveling clouds stopped, and the noisy birds landed on the branches and rested quietly.
It had been a day since Nangong Yu arrived in the white-haired residential area, and she had not found a place to live during this time, but only slept in an abandoned corner.
To be clear, there is practically no such thing as a lifetime property in this city.
In most cities in the world, houses are bought through work. When a person becomes a member of the city and works for the city, whether he is a white-haired person or a black-haired person, he can get a house to live in.
Of course, you can also buy a house with money, but each person can only own one house, and many are forced to buy it.
Moreover, when a person dies, or goes missing for more than a year, then the house will be confiscated.
After all, the population flow in this world is very unstable, and there has even been a phenomenon of empty cities overnight, and if one person has been occupying one or more apartments, then more people will be displaced.
But why are there so many white-haired homeless people? It is because the white-haired people are very trusted, so the recruitment of white-haired people generally does not recruit white-haired people, and only public enterprises have the opportunity to recruit them.
Congressman Lee was one of the white-haired people who were recruited.
In order to have a place to survive, some people can do anything, and there are even many people who do some unspeakable thing at the bottom of the society to earn money to buy a house.
As for Nangong Yu, she can't work, and she is extremely resistant to this kind of thing, so she can only either wander or wait to be taken in.
"Hello! Xiaoyu, meet again!"
A familiar voice came, and Nangong Yu instantly knew who it was, yes, it was Xiao Jing.
"Why are you here?" Nangong Yu immediately stopped, "This is a white-haired residential area...... Although you ...... But you're not a white-haired person now!"
"Why do you hate me so much?"
"I didn't ...... No, it's just because you're so kinky. Nangong Yu hugged himself as he spoke.
Suddenly, Xiao Jing disappeared in front of Nangong Yu's eyes, and before Nangong Yu could react, two hands immediately stretched out from behind her and hugged her tightly.
Nangong Yu exclaimed and struggled hard.
"What are you doing! Let go of me! Dead pervert!"
"I didn't do anything to you, just hugging you because you're cute!We're all girls, what do you have to be shy~"
", I'll beat someone, I'll tell you!"
"Then you're coming~"
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Yu was silent in an instant, and her face was completely replaced by a strange look. After brewing for a few seconds, Nangong Yu suddenly played a complete set of combos.
Step on your feet, elbow your abdomen, and reflexively punch your chest in one go.
Of course, Nangong Yu must have released the water, she didn't use any special force, but it still hurt.
"I'll ...... You're really ...... here."
"Why do you have to beat you up every time so you don't me?
Xiao Jing smiled and waved her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out her mood, and began to talk about business.
In fact, Xiao Jing came to her for a reason.
The Bad Boys League has become an underground organization, but it still has a severing relationship with the city government of Black Lake. This is also why Xiao Jing said that this organization can protect Nangong Yu, after all, their organization is not a bad person, but it can't be on the stage for the time being.
Through the organization, Xiao Jing learned that the mayor of Black Lake City had been looking for Nangong Yu. With some worries, Xiao Jing felt that she should tell Nangong Yu some necessary things.
Although it was very dramatic, it was not uncommon for the person being searched to mess things up because they didn't know whether the seeker was good or bad, so Xiao Jing decided to tell Nangong Yu about these things, maybe this situation could be avoided.
Well, maybe.
Because even if Nangong Yu knew that the mayor was a good person, she was afraid that she would harm the mayor, so she would definitely avoid the mayor all the time.
"Oh, really...... Can you take on this alone?hh? Weidun City has already taught you a lesson, and you still don't believe us?" Xiao Jing crossed her waist.
"It's not that I don't believe you...... I just don't want to see anyone die because of me anymore......"
An unspeakable bitterness overflowed beyond words, although Nangong Yu was also looking forward to someone standing by her side and sharing weal and woe with her. But every time someone does that, that person will always die because of her.
And she can easily protect herself and kill anyone, but she can't protect those who speak up for her no matter what.
In the endless darkness, they are just some matches that try to illuminate the darkness and bring her warmth.
But if she wasn't paying attention, the matches would be extinguished. So, she no longer wants there to be "matches" willing to burn for her.
"What if it's not one person, but a group of people?" Xiao Jing smiled.
Xiao Jing's words attracted Nangong Yu's attention, and Nangong Yu looked at her, waiting for her next sentence.
As a result of some gossip, there were small riots in the white-haired neighborhoods.
That's right, it's a small range, because the level of sanity of the white-haired group is still relatively high overall. If you don't carry out this plan, you may never find out that in fact, the white-haired people who usually riot and protest are only a small part of the white-haired people in the entire Black Lake City.
In order to appease the masses, the mayor decided to intervene himself, even if it was dangerous.
But after thinking about it a little, you may be able to understand the reason why the mayor did this, he must have wanted "Bai Nanyu" to appear. When the white-haired people gather, and there is danger, Bai Nanyu will definitely appear.
Cold, resolutely blocking the aura behind the iron net, eye-catching words come and go. The white waves were surging incessantly, shouting all kinds of slogans of "righteous words".
At that moment, dark clouds obscured the sun, a haze covered the land, and everything was bleak.
People's faces seemed to have been erased by the gray mist, leaving only a vague black shadow. The petite figure walks through it, as if it is in a memory.
"This scenario...... It's so familiar......"
The white-haired girl raised her head, and there seemed to be another white-haired figure on the high platform behind the iron fence outside the forest-like crowd of countless people waving their hands and full of anger.
The figure bowed her head and was silent, her face seemed to be erased by the gray mist, leaving only an emotionless black shadow.
It was her, maybe it was, and now, she seemed to be able to stand from the perspective of the onlookers at the time.
"Rumors are really the fatal weakness of human beings. ”
The white-haired girl quietly turned around, as if she were a ghost in this gray world. The moment she turned, the figure on the high platform behind the iron net raised its head and looked at her one last time in despair.
She stopped and didn't look back.
Then, the figure on the high platform relaxed its body, and the whole person drooped down. Then, the floor at the figure's feet fell, and she was suspended in mid-air by the rope around her neck.
The white-haired girl sighed and continued to walk out of the crowd, while the figure on the high platform struggled painfully to breathe. It was like a fish being lifted out of the water, struggling frantically with the last bit of strength.
Walking out of the crowd, the crowd blocked the road where the white-haired girl walked as if the door was closed, and the white-haired girl turned around, and the crowd had closed her sight.
In an instant, the gravity of the city suddenly went into chaos, and everything trembled because of the invisible force. Dark clouds completely obscured the sky, forming a whirlpool over the city, spilling an inexplicable fear over the earth......
Stop! The white-haired girl slammed her head and crouched on the ground, trying to stop the memories from her head.
She turned her head tentatively again, the white-haired man still shouting, there was no platform behind the bar, and there was no executed man, only the mayor who appeared there at some point.
In order not to be discovered by the mayor, she immediately ran to the nearest alley, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the sound of the crowd faded into her ears.
"Remembering those things again?"
A voice sounded in her head, and she hurriedly took out the mirror, and only then did she relax when she noticed that her eyes were slightly red.
"I was really scared. She looked up, "I'm afraid Black Lake City will be the next toy to be eliminated." ”
Suddenly, the air seemed to condense, and it was extremely quiet.
She looked down mechanically and saw another figure in the alley.
"you, don't come here!"
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
"I already know what you're thinking, get out of here!"
"Why do you draw a sudden change in the wind, Xiaoyu?
That's right, according to her reaction, you don't have to think about it to know who it is, it is Xiao Jing of the "Bad Boys Alliance".
Nangong Yu's face was flushed, even if those things just now were not caused by Nangong Yu's sudden second soul outburst of fantasy, but being seen by Xiao Jing always made Xiaoyu inexplicably shy.
At this point, she quickly turned her back, her face already flushed.
"Well, laugh at it! Don't think about that. Xiao Jing walked behind Nangong Yu and gently pinched her face, "You see that as soon as I appeared, you were completely different, am I not the source of your joy?"
"It's obviously the source of nightmares. Nangong Yu was disdainful for a while.
"Really...... Okay, now let's get down to business, well, the mayor is there, are you really not doing anything?"
"What do you mean?"
"Can you believe it? There are people who have died here, and they are in the crowd. ”
Xiao Jing laughed as she spoke, and for some reason, that laughter made Nangong Yu feel cold like a biting cold wind.
"So ......"
"You're not Xiao Jing. Nangong Yu categorically interrupted her words.
Due to the appearance of the mayor, the situation of the white-haired people eased a little, and some decided to leave.
The mayor promised them that he would stay in the white-haired neighborhood for the time being, so that they could always come to the temporary office to find him.
During the negotiation, the mayor suddenly noticed the crowd of white-haired people, and there seemed to be a little movement in an alley, and the people in the vicinity also looked in that direction curiously.
"I'll just say why I can't feel you, it turns out that you are fake! Tell me, where is Xiao Jing?"
In the alley, "Xiao Jing" was thrown in the corner of the wall, and there was blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, while Nangong Yu pulled her collar and questioned her with various questions.
She is not Xiao Jing, she is a clone, a clone made by the dead country.
"We didn't treat Xiao Jing well, don't worry. She only killed one of herself yesterday, and today you're going to kill another one, hehe, she's so miserable. Fake Xiao Jing smiled, "Soon, maybe you'll have to kill yourself." ”
"You ......"
Nangong Yu slammed a punch that was completely inconsistent with her physical fitness, and the fake Xiao Jing immediately had a bloody face and a crooked nose to the side, which made Nangong Yu gasp and suddenly pinch her heart.
Yes, Nangong Yu must be reluctant to beat Xiao Jing, this fake Xiao Jing is cloned by Xiao Jing's genes, and it is exactly the same as Xiao Jing herself.
"Hey...... Isn't it unpleasant to beat up your own friend? I know what you're thinking, there are many clones like me who have died in the country, not only your friend Xiao Jing.
Let me ask you, can you guess which of the people around you are real and which are fake?
I can give you a hint, that white-haired man looks honest, but in fact he is planning a plan that will ruin you......"
The fake Xiao Jing's words were stuffed into Nangong Yu's heart little by little, and the more Nangong Yu listened, the more frightened she felt.
"Are you scared?" Fake Xiao Jing smiled very arrogantly, "Let me tell you, this plan was made for you." I'm here to wait for you, remember that game, right? Now, that game has started again...... Hey hey ......"
"You...... You ......" Nangong Yu's voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Okay, I'm done, now, how are you going to execute your friend's clone? Maybe this clone will die like your friend will be like in the future...... Hey hey ......"
"Shut up ......"
Noticing the abnormality of the alley, the mayor hurriedly called the security personnel to rush through the crowd of white-haired people who had calmed down.
However, the moment he arrived, it was as if nothing had happened in the alley, only a white figure that disappeared into the distance the moment he saw it.
