Volume 3 Another Game Chapter 82 Lead them to the light
The impulsive and self-reproachful soul, in the midst of being lost, went down the wrong path, and when he realized all this, and impulsively tried to make amends, he fell into a deeper abyss.
And this abyss, in some ways, can be regarded as his own digging.
He once wanted to make this world a home, but he gradually lost and lost confidence in repeated disappointments and failures. Looking at those who do evil, with the support of various rights and various backgrounds, even if they are sentenced, can be released quickly. And those who are oppressed by them still do not receive a fair answer in all kinds of legitimate attempts.
He was in pain, and even though he was from the city center, he couldn't stop it from happening.
That's right, even he, the people in the city center, can't suppress those rampant demons. Even if he comes up with all kinds of plans, comes up with all kinds of management, and excludes that kind of people, they will still spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
Thinking of the real world he lives in, although it is not so corrupt, life is also very difficult for him. So he wanted to build this place into a paradise, but who knows, but he found that this is a veritable hell.
He pondered how to change all this, until one day, tired and miserable, he met someone from the Dead Guard on his way home.
Peng Yuyun.
At that time, Peng Yuyun did not reveal that he was a member of the Dead Country Guard, and he did not know Peng Yuyun's identity. He only knew that Peng Yuyun was like an oppressed and down-and-out homeless man at that time.
In fact, Peng Yuyun is indeed a person who has been miserable by this world.
The two inexplicably began to have a topic, and gradually began to talk and began to understand each other. They learned that each other actually had a lot in common with themselves, and gradually chatted very well.
Both of them share a common dream, that is, they hope that the world can be equal, that they can care about others, that they can be less suspicious, that they can be less cynical. After all, they are all people who have experienced social injustice, and it is very difficult for them to be able to live.
Gradually, Peng Yuyun began to pass on some ideas to him, and he also noticed that Peng Yuyun's resentment was a bit too much. It didn't take long for Peng Yuyun to call him away during his break, saying that he was going to meet someone.
Along the way, Peng Yuyun was mysterious, and after leading him through a narrow and dark corridor, he suddenly became respectful.
After opening the door, after seeing the man with a faint red light in his eyes, this confused man finally embarked on a path that he thought was right......
"Defend the Dead Country!
In the calm and sensitive streets, with a shout, people responded as if sensing the mission, and looked at this side in unison.
People's eyes seemed to be the gaze of wolves, and Li Zhucheng, who answered the phone on the street, was stunned, his scalp was numb, and his back was sweating. Silently looking around, people stood there looking at him.
You can't run, you can't run, you admit it.
But you can't just stay there and be taken in by someone to investigate?
In fact, it was not only him who was worried now, but also Bai Nanyu, who had just arrived after hearing the movement. She was on the rooftop, now wondering whether to wait and see what happened, or to arrest him.
People gradually gathered, and even Bai Nanyu gasped for him.
Now he can't run around and he can't be arrested. He must be under the control of someone he can trust, or he will most likely be assassinated.
However, in this tense atmosphere, Li Zhucheng seemed very relaxed and did not take people's suspicions into account at all. He began to look around, but not to figure out how to leave, but to find someone who didn't have a Guardian of the Dead.
No, unintentionally, he really saw it.
Near the downtown building, a man in overalls was walking towards the downtown building, apparently delivering something.
But before he could take a closer look, the man who pointed out in the street that he was the Guardian of the Dead came up to him. Not to mention, Li Zhucheng does look at him as a little familiar, maybe they have met before.
"Are you still pretending? Didn't you say in front of me before that you wanted me to join the Guardian of the Dead Country, and if you didn't join, you would kill me? I have always remembered your face, don't forget it. ”
"What are you talking about?"
"Hmph, I told you at the time that there are people with justice in their hearts, and now people can prove to you that we are not indifferent and not easy to bully!" With that, the man turned to the crowd, "Anyway, even if it turns out that he was wronged, we must at least bring the suspicious person back to investigate, right?"
As soon as the words fell, even if someone chimed in:
"Yes! Catch him!"
This dramatic scene made Li Zhucheng a little stunned, but his intuition told him that he had to leave at this time. He didn't know if he would fall into the hands of the Dead Guards after he was taken away, so he had to do something.
There is no way to go in the sky, and it is very coincidental that a member of the Guardian of the Dead Nation ran behind the crowd.
At the moment of discovery, the man casually knocked over the stalls set up on the side of the road and ran wildly into the distance. People noticed the fleeing man, but after hearing a burst of footsteps and a shouting of a person, they found that Li Zhucheng had slipped away.
Sure enough, curiosity is contagious.
Li Zhucheng's figure disappeared into the alley, and enthusiastic people also chased after him, all of which were seen by the people in the city center.
And, of course, the mayor.
He looked at Li Zhucheng's departing figure, and his mood was a little difficult to express for a while, and in the end he just shook his head instead. Then, the members of the Council of Eight, who had been waiting by his side for a long time, looked like they had something to tell the mayor.
"What's the matter?" the mayor asked.
"The complaint letter from the residents of our city, saying that they found out that the person you are helping now, mayor, is actually a bad person......
After a long night, the petite figure dragged his tired body home, and fell directly on the bed without saying a word.
Everything around her became chaotic and blurry, and she wanted to wash up, but she finally couldn't resist the sleepiness, and used the last bit of consciousness to hide her body in the quilt.
It's so tired, really tired.
On this day, she lost Li Zhucheng again, and in the long search, the nightmare couldn't sense him.
In desperation, Bai Nanyu couldn't do anything, so he could only come back helplessly and take a rest.
The sound of traffic is long gone, and so is the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and in this empty season, Black Lake City has rarely ushered in silence. Confused, swimming along with sleep, half-asleep, half-asleep, as if there was another world.
She thought of her in the past, and wanted to help everyone, but she was too simple and didn't take into account people's doubts, as well as the framing of wicked people, thinking that people would take her as a friend for the first time, but it backfired.
And that simple and naïve she, in the long life, disappointment, and frustration, gradually began to explore people's hearts.
Then, involuntarily, she was assimilated by the people, and like them, she felt an endless despair of their indifference and fear. She gradually began to stop thinking that people would help her, although she still kept naïve, innocent words on her lips.
Who believes it? I don't even believe it myself.
Despair blinded her eyes, turning this first-time child into a puppet, breaking her down and making her lose her heart.
Especially after the destruction of Guardian City, she was even more miserable.
Her power can literally make her a god, but she treats herself as a mortal, as a child - she doesn't want to use this power to discipline people, she just wants to influence people with her heart.
It is possible to use this power to discipline people? Indeed, it can be used to establish deterrence, and perhaps an empire of order can be established.
But what is the point of such an order born out of fear?
It will one day crumble, it will disintegrate.
Between confusion and hesitation, she staggered along, surrounded by the abyss, and a moment of instability would make her fall.
I don't know how long she walked here, but she finally saw the light. On that distant road, there was a light that shone as if it was calling her, waiting for her to be pursued.
She chased the light for a long time, but the light was always far away. So much so that she once thought that it was a light that did not belong to her.
Until one day, she hallucinated in the midst of her collapse and saw the deceased in Guardian City.
She was in pain and remorseful.
Although it was not her fault alone, she still apologized like a madman...... No, maybe he has become a madman, just chasing those illusions and running out in the pouring rain.
She apologized undeservedly, looked at the cold faces of those people, fell and got up again, ran again and again, until she ran out of strength and slowed down.
The men seemed to slow down, still looking at her with resentment.
I've always wanted to help people, and I've been doing it, so why do I do this?
Yes, there are too many injustices in the world, and even solid theories cannot overcome them. After all, it is just a theory, not something that can be seen and touched, and can protect people.
Her desperate steps froze for a moment, and her blank eyes could no longer see what expression it was.
"I really want to save you...... I've been helping you...... I'm really not a monster......"
The sky was still pouring rain, like her tears, washing over the world. Thunder and lightning flashed through the clouds in the sky, and the lonely soul kept muttering and muttering to himself.
Finally, the dead spoke again.
"Get out of the city! Get out of the city!
"We live a good life, because of your arrival, we have become like this!
"Protect us, protect yourself first!"
Again, she thought the words were uttered by the deceased, but they actually came from her inner memory, from the depths of her mind.
Finally, her heart was empty for a moment, where it seemed that there was a child abandoned in the dark, afraid of the dark, mixed with crying, and at the moment weakly cried out "Don't...... Don't leave me! Don't leave me......"
It was an eagerness and trepidation that could not be expressed in plain words.
Falling in the chase, the car almost crushed her feet, and she gradually lost consciousness in the heavy rain......
Then, he met the man, Wu Mingde.
The kind, faithful-like man who seemed to be atoning for her sins, had taught her a lot during the time he had taken her in.
In her heart, many seeds have already been planted, just waiting for her to understand and discover for herself. And the facts really did not disappoint Boss Wu, Bai Nanyu did gradually understand a lot, and also remembered what the old man who gave her strength said a long time ago.
At that time, the old man was already lying in bed because of a terminal illness, and he could no longer get out of bed and move around.
He knew that his time was numbered, but this power could not be stopped. There is no way, he can only do this, that is, to hand over the power to Bai Nanyu.
But before that, he had to test Bai Nanyu.
"Kid, do you know what the watchman's duties are?"
"Protect the city, protect the people, protect the world. Bai Nanyu replied very simply.
"It's more than that. ”
"And ...... What?"
"Waiting, guidance, and teaching. ”
At that time, she was naïve and had not experienced the dangers of the world, so she naturally did not understand what the old man meant. Although she has wandered, she has not really felt the sinister nature of the human heart.
For the sake of herself, for the sake of her family, those who stand on a different position from her, she has not experienced all kinds of evil things done to her.
"Wait...... Guidelines...... Teachings?Wait a minute, wait for me to understand, but the guidance and teachings ......" Bai Nanyu scratched his head, still unable to understand, "At my age, a ...... An ordinary little girl, guiding and teaching something......"
"Teaching is also learning. The old man just replied lightly.
"Forehead ......"
"In this world, there are many watchmen, and they are in this world just like their titles. They watch over another world, and they give guidance to those lost souls who have fallen into this world.
They have experienced many times more things than the people in the other world, so they can also understand the meaning of life better. Because the watchman guards not only the world, but also the hearts and minds of the people. ”
"Spiritual ......"
"Actually, it's not impossible to let a child like you be a watchman. On the contrary, there are certain benefits. The old man smiled slowly, "Because you are a very kind child, if you can let your heart infect others, then you are a qualified watchman." ”
After speaking, the cough followed the old man's words again, and he clutched his chest, looking in pain. It seems that this old man really doesn't have much time left.
Under Bai Nanyu's comfort, he calmed down a little, so he hurriedly continued to tell Bai Nanyu as if he was seizing every moment's opportunity:
"Powerful power is terrifying, but a good heart really has the most powerful magic. ”
"I ...... I'll think about it......"
When she came back to her senses, it was already dawn, but she didn't expect her to dream about those things again, the old man in the mountains.
It seems that the old man's soul may be watching and helping her.
Well, she has fully understood where she stands, and she has decided what kind of person she should be. No matter who she is facing, even if it is the king of the dead country, she can be calm.
Now, she wants to bring people to the light and be a qualified watchman.
A true watchman.
