Half a year ago, in the center of Weidun City, the city hall building.

"Mayor, the girl's story is being rumored, should we do something, such as restricting their discussion or something. ”

The mayor of Weidun City faced the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the peaceful scenery outside the window, and suddenly felt that what he saw was nothing more than a mirror. Trapped by the things he had always had, overnight, he seemed to age several years.

"Is it true that she killed the deputy mayor?" the mayor asked coldly.

"We've only heard about it, and there's no evidence, but people seem to have pictures and it's been going viral. ”

The mayor nodded, and then said no more.

Is this part of the game? We will be chosen, probably because of the "Guardian Shield" predecessors who were burned at the stake many years ago, they want to see if we have the qualifications to live, right?

From the way we met that girl, she was just a poor person who had been looking for her sister. Those who know her may not believe that she would do this, but the citizens do not know her, so is it really necessary for us to do this to her?

"Come here. The mayor of Weidun City beckoned, "Let out the news that the girl has been arrested and is awaiting interrogation." Then give her a room to live in and try to be nice to her. ”

"Mayor...... Why are you doing that?"

"Don't ask, just do it. ”

After the two of them finished speaking, the person who notified them turned to leave, and gently closed the door after going out. Then, the entire office was darkened, and the dim sunlight outside the window made the contemplative mayor into a silhouette......

"You don't need to kill her ......"

In a certain alley in Black Lake City, Bai Nanyu looked at the corpse of the woman in front of him and said in fear. Although she didn't look at the man who had just killed the woman, the man knew she was talking to him.

The man didn't reply, but spoke of his own.

"Do you know about the Relic Disease?"

"What...... Why are you suddenly saying this......"

"The younger brother of the girl who was killed by this woman has this disease. ”

Remnant disease, an extremely rare terminal disease.

There are many reasons for the rarity, for example, most people who get this disease have died.

People with this disease will first appear as a purple, electrical circuit markings from the major artery in the neck. Subsequently, the markings will become larger and larger, and as the markings expand, the patient will become weaker and weaker, and eventually die.

The disease is the most painful after the middle stage because it will leave the patient dying without killing him.

In the later stages, the patient will still have labor pains from time to time, and the patient has almost become a vegetative state at this time, and can only endure silently. This kind of pain is like the soul being trapped in a hell made of physical bodies.

"People say there is no cure, but in reality it can be cured. The only way to save the patient is to send him back to the other world. The man tilted his head to look at the woman's corpse, his face full of anger, "And this woman, she killed the girl and destroyed the only bulb that could send the boy back." ”

"So you killed this woman? ”

Bai Nanyu's words had a mocking meaning, and the man understood why it was very well, so he didn't refute it.

"That's right, it came out of my mouth, how about it? I'm sure you've felt the pain of lying helplessly on a hospital bed waiting for your loved ones to return? Oh no, you should be from my sister's point of view. ”

"Sister's angle ......" Bai Nanyu was stunned.

"Well, I'm not here to make you uncomfortable. Now, I sincerely want to invite you to a show where you don't have to do anything, just be an audience. ”

The so-called performance is also part of the "game".

In the city of Black Lake, there is now a legend of the "Relic Disease", and people are afraid of this disease. In this regard, some people can't help but speculate, what infection is the "relic disease" transmitted?

In Black Lake City, there are many people who suffer from "relic disease", and many of them are white-haired. If people in urban areas are told that "relic disease" is contagious, for example, as the disease progresses, patients with "relic disease" will release stronger and stronger radiation-like things, and they will become infected if they are around them for too long.

If so, then what will happen to people?

"This is simply gibberish!" Bai Nanyu shouted, "The 'Relic Disease' can only infect one person at a time, and the only way to get infected with the 'Relic Disease' is to go to the ancient ruins. The Bad Boys have told me, don't lie to anyone!"

"How do you know? Have you experimented with it? What if there's some hidden way of transmission?"

This sentence completely knocked Bai Nanyu down. Yes, I haven't tried it, it's just a unilateral statement by the Bad Boys League, what if there is anything else to hide?

"What are you thinking?" said the man, his face becoming a little strange.

Bai Nanyu was still silent, but took a step back timidly. Seeing her appearance at this time, the man couldn't help but laugh.

"Just like then, you're such a likable little thing. The man's eyes seemed to glow red, "Maybe I should call you 'Administrator.'" ”

"You...... You're not him...... You are...... Same as then...... And the person who manipulated the fake Xiao Jing...... Wait...... When did you show up!It was definitely not you who was talking to me just now!" Bai Nanyu took a few steps back.

"It's so clever to see it. Anyway, humans are really a magical species, aren't they?" The man smiled weirdly, looking like a weirdo who had succeeded in his tricks, "Rumors are always loved and hated like a little devil, and people will be shaken by the slightest convincing word, which is so funny." ”

At this time, Bai Nanyu's mind suddenly flashed the picture that she would never forget.

On the gallows, the white figure stood there, and from the way she got here, she seemed to see something shuttling in the crowd, talking to her.

As her neck was sheathed, the voice was unrelenting, destroying her sanity like the whispers of an old god.

But she has been resisting.

"Then again, the boy is still in the hospital bed. Guess what would happen if you told everyone that the disease was contagious?"

The man's voice called her back, and she had no intention of answering him by this time.

"What do you get out of this? Is it satisfying your perverted pleasure?"

Bai Nanyu's voice disappeared for a long time, and the man didn't reply, only the wind whispered quietly. By the time the man came to his senses, his face was full of anger.

"yes, that's it! I just like to play with you humans! You two-faced maggots deserve to die by your own hands!"

"You're crazy. Bai Nanyu said coldly.

"In your eyes, I've never been normal. ”

The man laughed again and turned to leave. At that moment, Bai Nanyu pulled out the utility knife in his pocket, but was knocked to the ground by the man with a return gun.

The world suddenly turned upside down and swayed, Bai Nanyu covered his head and struggled to get up, and found that the man had run away. With willpower, Bai Nanyu had just taken a step, but he fell down again.

In desperation, she could only watch the man's back drift away, gradually weakening in the struggle, and losing consciousness in front of her.

In the mayor's office, a rare guest came at this time.

This rare guest is something that no one wants, not even himself, unless he is a civilian. He was a researcher sent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to discuss something with the mayor.

Most of the things that make them nervous are that some terrible infectious disease has a bad trend.

"Remnant disease", yes, there are some new research advances in this disease.

The disease was discovered years ago, and at that time, it was not contagious, and the infected person would die quickly. But with the development of targeted technology, the lives of those patients are being saved for longer and longer, although most patients choose to be relieved quickly because they can't stand the torture.

Such medical advances have led scientists to believe that one day the "remnant disease" can be defeated.

However, before there was a solution to the problem, the "relic disease" was found to be contagious.

That's right, the "relic disease" is starting to spread.

Researchers told the mayor that they had identified two cases of "relict disease" infection, both of whom had the most frequent contact with "relict disease" patients.

One is a loved one and the other is a nurse.

Perhaps because the mortality rate of "relic disease" was too high, it killed the host before it could be infected. Now that the host has been forcibly saved for a longer period of time, the "relic disease" has more time and begins to infect.

If this news spreads, it will definitely cause panic.

It's like a person who stays with a cancer patient and cares for them closely, and suddenly learns one day that "cancer is contagious." Although he didn't believe it, there was always a voice in his heart and subconscious warning him: don't get too close to them, otherwise you will also be infected.

It's unfair to those who are infected, but if it doesn't get out, more people may be infected.

The conversation between the mayor and the researcher went on for a long time, and when the researcher left, Bai Nanyu also woke up from the alley, and was already walking on the road at this time. Coincidentally, Bai Nanyu saw the researcher and the car with the words "Center for Disease Control and Prevention" printed on it.

At that moment, an ominous premonition filled my heart, and it seemed that the "show" that the man had called had begun.

"Damn...... Is everything still under their control at the end of the day...... What kind of realm have their people penetrated into the city......

The wind blew through the empty branches, and the green leaves had long since disappeared with the birds, and there was no more joyful birdsong and leaf sound, only endless loneliness.

The white-haired girl looked at the lonely tree and felt the pain of losing everything it had once joyed. They have all had countless joys, like the crisp birdsong, and the countless green leaves that accompanied her. Eventually, they left her.

Although the green leaves will still flourish as winter turns to spring, she is still scared that she will become the next such tree.

"Xiao Jing, don't hide. ”

After learning that she was exposed, Xiao Jing walked out from behind the building on the side with a smile, slowly approached Bai Nanyu's side, and bumped into her mischievously.

"Xiao Jing. Bai Nanyu's eyes were already full of tears at some point, "I don't want to continue the game anymore, why don't you do me a favor, send my sister back, and then kill me." ”

This sentence turned Xiao Jing's whole person into a stone statue.

"What are you talking about!" Xiao Jing grabbed Bai Nanyu's arms.

"When I was in Guardian City, I was already desperate. I can't save anyone......"

"You have to have faith in them! I'm sure most people are behind you!"

Then they were all killed. ”

Xiao Jing's optimistic smile was gradually erased by Bai Nanyu's despair, and turned into an indescribable expression. Due to a certain characteristic of Xiao Jing's body, she could clearly feel Bai Nanyu's mood at this time.

"At least, how about you go find Boss Wu first?" Xiao Jing suggested with a smile on her face.

Bai Nanyu looked at Xiao Jing with teary eyes, thought for a while, nodded silently, lowered his head and left in the direction of Boss Wu's bookstore.

"Really...... Why do you have to let such a weak girl endure all this!"

Xiao Jing thrust her back and said resentfully, looking like she was talking to herself, but in fact she was talking to the whole city. That's right, she said it to the "city", but they may not hear it.

Can this "game" really be as she expects, and everyone will survive to the end?
