In the endless darkness, a hopeful black-haired girl runs through the deserted streets with simple satisfaction. What she held in her arms was her greatest satisfaction at this time, and the crystal eyes that were filled with hope reflected a beautiful scene.

It's great to finally be able to go back and finally see Mom and Dad with my brother.

These are the words she has been silently reciting in her heart at this time.

Running into an alley, the girl suddenly felt a joy that she would soon be saved, and unconsciously quickened her pace. This is the closest way back to your accommodation, but something doesn't seem right ahead.

"Little girl, what is that? Can you show your sister?"

The voice of a woman with bad intentions came, and the girl couldn't help but shrink back, but out of politeness, she still looked at her and replied weakly, "This...... It's something very important......"

The moonlight illuminated the woman's white hair, making the dark-haired girl's heart tremble.

"Show me. ”

"No...... No......"

The black-haired girl suddenly thought that there was such a person in Black Lake City. They want to go back to the real world, but they can't, so they are jealous of those who can go back to the real world, and they do everything they can to hinder them.

Or even kill them.

Thinking of this, the black-haired girl involuntarily took a step back. For her, the things in her arms are not only important to her, she also has a younger brother who has been waiting for her with great anticipation after learning that her sister can take him back.

"Show me. The woman began to get impatient and said word by word.

The girl stopped making a sound, but began to retreat silently. Seeing this, the woman began to walk towards her, and this advance and retreat made the girl speed up her retreat, but she accidentally fell to the ground. But it didn't matter if she fell, it was the thing in her arms that rolled out.

Seeing that familiar thing, the woman confirmed her thoughts, and a jealous anger instantly filled her.

"That thing ......"

"Don't come here!"

The girl immediately grabbed the ball-sized bulb-like thing and climbed up.

"Give it to me!" the woman roared.

"No!" the girl yelled back.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the girl turned and ran, and the woman seemed to have taken something out of her waist. It was a pistol, and she had aimed it at the girl's leg.

A gunshot pierced the silent night, and many of the houses that were lit up immediately turned off their lights.

The girl was shot in the leg, and if she had not been rescued, she would probably have died of blood loss. But women don't intend to let her go, even if they have no grievances.

With the sound of high heels, the woman walked over and stepped on the girl who was struggling to crawl towards the "bulb", because she kept struggling, and the woman stepped on it in anger. The heels could have been a lethal weapon, but the foot was right into the girl's wound, causing her to dizzy after a terrible scream.

"Help...... Help ......" The girl who got the bulb began to ask for help.

"Stop screaming......"

"Help me...... Who's going to save me......"

"I told you to stop yelling!"

The woman let out a hysterical roar, followed by another step, grabbed the girl and threw her against the wall, kicking her in the abdomen.

"Why...... Why are you only black-haired people who can go back!, hand over that thing!" the woman still roared, unfastening the women's belt around her waist and beating the girl.

"My brother is still waiting for me...... I can't give it to you...... He's only 7 years old......"

"I'll take care of you......," the woman looked a little impotent and furious, "hand it over!"

The girl has been guarding the things in her arms and looking for opportunities to escape, but the woman keeps catching her back when she escapes. The girl had already been beaten to the point of blood, but no one came to stop her, and it was unknown how long the horrific beating lasted.

Is this a despair of death and separation after giving hope to life?

Since being sheltered by the school, Bai Nanyu not only did not feel at ease, but became more panicked. During this time, she finally had a mobile phone and finally saw the news on the Internet.

It's like a person who tries to escape from a disaster and finally realizes reality.

It's true that a lot of those news are fanciful, almost based on a photo, but there are a lot of people who believe it.

When a white-haired man is bullied and can't help but start fighting back, the photos taken by those present will divide this into two stories. One is the real report, although there are still some discrepancies with reality, but they are probably accurate. The other is a biased brain supplement that thinks that the white-haired man is dissatisfied with the policy and starts a rebellion, just like the white-haired thugs.

The first news may win the pity of many people, but many more may believe the second version - after all, the white-haired riots have been a regular occurrence recently. In this way, the person who broadcast the news successfully rubbed the heat of a white-haired riot and got traffic, which was harmless to them.

And enthusiastic netizens may become hurtful "keyboard warriors" again.

"When you see her, run away, she is the culprit who destroyed Weidun City?" Bai Nanyu read a very hot news on his mobile phone, out of worry, although he was afraid, he finally clicked in.

Nothing else in this news is very important, Bai Nanyu only noticed that there were words "The matter is still being investigated" at the back of this news. Probably this means that although this news says so, it is actually just alarmist. There's a feeling of casually hearing someone describe the appearance of a white-haired girl, and then retelling it in my head.。

Although he may have been right...... Oh no, you guessed it.

Fortunately, this is a false alarm, but Bai Nanyu still needs to pay attention to the rumors on the Internet, last time she couldn't pay attention to the news on the Internet, and this time she can't let it go when she has the opportunity.

After reading the news, the corners of Bai Nanyu's mouth rose, smiled coldly, and slid all the way to the bottom of the news.

Sure enough, except for a few who expressed concern, the comments were all scolding the editor.

"Xiao Li, you came just in time, there is a new case. A man from the press corps approached Councillor Lee and reported to him the latest case, "We found an unnamed female corpse in an alley, which looked like she had been beaten to death, and there were obvious signs of struggle at the scene. ”

This is a corridor, the third floor of the city hall building, which manages the news and intelligence gathering. Councillor Lee is working here, and he just happened to be back here at this time.

"Is this case again...... It's not going to be weird...... Got it."

Councillor Lee didn't seem particularly concerned when he heard this.

"Oh yes, it's worth mentioning that she seems to have a younger brother. The next day, we investigated and found that her brother was critically ill and still in a hospital bed. Another poor man with a waiting family. ”

Before the report's man spoke, Councillor Li's expression changed significantly. There was sympathy and shock on that stiff face, but more than that, there was incomparable anger.

When he mentions "family members who are waiting", he always becomes a different person. The man who reported said to himself.

"Can you catch the perpetrator? I want to live. A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Councilor Li's eyes, "Don't say anything to affect the plan, a week...... No, find the perpetrator in two days and bring me back alive. ”

"Uh...... That one...... You calm down......"

"I'm calm. ”

With that, Councillor Lee left with a blank face.

No matter who is left by the father and born by the mother, the only difference may be the degree of missing for the relatives.

For Congressman Lee, the "waiting family" he doesn't want to hear will always be a tragic outcome, not the beginning of a reunion. After all, he is also the one who has lost his "waiting family......

"Did you hear that? That girl's brother is so pathetic. No, they're all pathetic. ”

"yes......"

"How can there be such a scumbag, beating others to death like this, what kind of hatred and resentment. ”

The classmates began to discuss the news, and it seemed that in the morning, the news had spread all over the city. Preliminary investigation revealed that the reason why the girl was killed was because the murderer was jealous that she was a black-haired person who could return to the real world and not have to continue to suffer there.

The "bulbs" that her body still carried, which had been destroyed afterwards, were the bulbs of a plant called the "Origin Tree". Legend has it that it has the ability to bring people back to the real world and escape from this sea of suffering.

And this ability has long been proven, it is true.

She could have used this bulb to leave, so as not to be tortured to death, but she didn't want to abandon her brother, and she still had an agreement, so she didn't do it until she died.

Thinking of this, Bai Nanyu also began to be a little angry.

Waiting family ...... Hehe......

In her mind, the figure of the short-haired girl who was temporarily blind and had the most beautiful eyes in the world for her disappeared from time to time. Where is she at this time, is she looking or waiting, does she still believe that she can see her sister again, and whether she still believes that her sister's words are true.

"Hey, Bai Nanyu. ”

A soft call summoned Bai Nanyu, who was almost on the verge of anger against humans, and looked over to the source of the sound, and she found that it was Bai Yu coming from there.

It's better to calm down, after all, there are still many good people in this world, and you can't be blinded by individual evil people. Yes, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, there are still many good people in this world.

"Bai Yu, where are you going?" Bai Nanyu slowed down and whispered.

"Arrest someone, I have a mission. Bai Yu stopped, looked at Bai Nanyu and continued, "The task from the city government, if you don't give me this task, I want to take it." ”

In order to avoid delaying time, Bai Yu then explained what he was going to say at one time, and then left without looking back. For some reason, Bai Nanyu felt that Bai Yu was a little handsome for a while.

Much like ...... Someone......

"I don't want to think about that, I have a mission too. ”

Bai Nanyu muttered to herself, but when she turned around, she saw the figure of a short-haired girl. She looked like she wanted to say something, but somehow gave up.

That was Xiao Ziqian, in fact, she wanted to talk to Bai Nanyu, but when she heard her say to herself that she also had a task, she decided to give up, put down the hand that wanted to say hello and turned around. But Bai Nanyu understood her thoughts very well, well, thanks to the nightmare, although if there was no nightmare, Bai Nanyu would still ask what was wrong.

"Do you want to talk to me? I'm not in a hurry. ”

Bai Nanyu smiled at her with that warm and sweet voice like cotton candy.

"That case? It seems that everyone's daily chat has been 'swiped' by her. ”

By the campus flower bed, Bai Nanyu and Xiao Ziqian sat on a bench and chatted.

The flower beds bloom with the last colors of autumn, and the delicate gushing fountains flow into the trickle above the pool, which is gently soundtracked to the rustle of fallen leaves. Even after passing past a few students who cast contemptuous glances at Xiao Ziqian, Xiao Ziqian's mood was not affected at all because of Bai Nanyu by his side.

Regarding the case of the black-haired girl being abused and killed, Xiao Ziqian was also very concerned.

"I probably didn't tell you. Xiao Ziqian hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to say what she wanted to say, "My dad is a scumbag." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Ziqian's family is a family of four, and her mother gave birth to two children, the eldest one is Xiao Ziqian, and the younger one is her younger brother. Her brother was called "Piggy" by her, because her brother was always silly, ate a lot, and was a little chubby.

Since childhood, Xiao Ziqian and her younger brother have lived in nightmares.

My father was very kind to them, but he died in an accident. Although the family received a good amount of compensation, it could not make up for the loss of their dear father. In addition, her mother remarried and married a scumbag who was considerate and filial on the surface, but in fact he was lazy and hardworking.

The reason for marrying him is just because he is handsome, can flirt with his sister, and has some small money.

This is really a discredit to all men. As the stepfather of this family, he has never given his children a good look in front of his two children. Moreover, he always went behind their mother's back to find women and asked them not to speak out.

In front of this scumbag, beating and scolding is a common thing, but that is all in the absence of his mother.

Finally one day, Xiao Ziqian, as an older sister, couldn't stand the fact that her stepfather took women home in front of them, and she was still talking big in front of them, so she secretly told her mother. After this, the parents had a big fight, and the nightmare finally came.

The mother said she wanted a divorce and left tomorrow with her two children, thinking that this was finally the end of the nightmare.

However, in her sleep, Xiao Ziqian woke up alertly and found her stepfather running to their bed. Of course, this is not a good thing, in order to protect her younger brother, my sister chose to delay her stepfather and let her younger brother go to his mother.

This time, Xiao Ziqian fell into bad luck.

The stepfather locked the door, blocked the door with furniture, and tortured Xiao Ziqian in the bedroom. He also dug out some "strange things" from the bedside table, no matter how much Xiao Ziqian shouted and struggled, she could just listen to the heart-rending roar outside the door in the end, and endure the violation of this scumbag.

That warm home was reduced to hell for a while.

When the police arrived to open the door, the stepfather was trying to escape through the window, and Xiao Ziqian had been tortured to the point of fainting and unconscious. The mother hugged Xiao Ziqian, cried heartbreakingly, and kept calling her name, but she may never hear it again.

When letting her younger brother escape, Xiao Ziqian also struggled to make a promise to him.

"I'll definitely survive to find you, and when we're safe, we'll make a real family. ”

Promise is another ordinary, but painful word. Bai Nanyu understands the meaning of this word very well, after all, she also made such a promise to her sister.

In this world, it's always been like this.

Countless people have made promises to the people of that world, and they all wish they could go back. So in the dark, this world has become illusory, and that world has become yearning.

Even in reality, this world is a real world.

"You'll have a real home with your sister. You can go back to that world, I promise. Bai Nanyu patted Xiao Ziqian's shoulder.

This is another promise made by Bai Nanyu, and this promise has become one of the forces that support her to go on. In this case, Bai Nanyu may have more supporters, and her winning rate in the "game" may be higher.

Hopefully, the end of this city will be good.
