Volume 2 The Game for the "Half-Dead" Chapter 37 Duty as a Friend
In the eyes of the people, does a hero who wants to protect the city have to protect everyone in times of crisis in order to be considered a hero? Is it true that when a hero appears, people only need to stand behind him and wait for him to defeat the enemy?
If someone is not protected, then this hero, is it still a hero?
In the late autumn of Weidun City, the cold wind blew the shivering, wandering dead leaves, leaving a mark on the heart of the white-haired girl. People's expectations for their hometown are like the fallen leaves, looking at the empty branches, but they can only rot on the earth.
The drizzle was falling, the cold wind was blowing, and the world seemed to be covered with haze, and it was no longer possible to see the expressions on people's faces.
Looking at the sky, the towering building seemed to reach into the clouds in the rain and fog, leaving only a dark shadow. The white-haired girl stopped and sat on a bench by the roadside, and although it was morning, it was getting dark, and the lights of the cars were turned on.
If it rains heavily, she may catch a cold from the rain.
The white-haired girl stretched out her hand, and her small hands couldn't reach the white fog around her, just as she couldn't reach the people who were intentionally hiding in the fog.
For this city, she really wants to save it, but here, she finally feels that the plot played in the TV series is not empty talk. If this continues, is it really possible to make people change their minds?
The Bad Boys League has promised to help her find her sister, but she's also been paying attention to every detail, brushing shoulders with strangers on every street corner. Although I am not sure if my sister will be in this city, she always has the feeling that she may pass by on a street corner.
On this day, the white-haired girl didn't see her again, even if she was in a high place now, but she still couldn't wait for her news.
"She's so cute! I really want to hold her in my arms and knead and pinch and touch her head until she ...... bald."
In the narrow corridor, the voice of the black-haired girl suddenly stuck in her throat, and the teenager who faced her doubts turned around and found that the white-haired girl who wanted to "rub and pinch her head in her arms and touch her head until she was bald" was standing there in horror.
For a while, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and the white-haired girl kept staring at her, as if she was afraid that the black-haired girl would pounce in the blink of an eye, and her eyes were motionless.
"Uh...... That ......"
The black-haired girl was eager to explain something, but the white-haired girl shook her head and stepped back timidly, looking like a timid white cat.
"Don't ......," the white-haired girl's hand in front of her was trembling.
"It's not...... Don't get me wrong...... the dark-haired girl pressed forward step by step, bent on explaining that she didn't mean it all, "I just ...... That one...... Ay...... Don't be afraid ......."
The young man on the side sneered, and suddenly couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, shaking his head and sighing.
"I'm scared of other people's soft girls, see what you do. The boy teased.
"Get out. ”
The black-haired girl turned back to the boy in a joking tone, patiently comforting the white-haired girl who was frightened by the words of the girl she had just met in a strange foreign land.
"Ouch, are you reminiscing about when I ravaged you?"
The familiar voice disturbed the memories of the white-haired girl, and when she turned her head, the familiar figure really appeared in front of her.
"Remembering how you knelt down and begged for mercy when you me off. Bai Nanyu said angrily.
Xiao Jing smiled mischievously, walked over to her and sat down, swinging her legs leisurely, and suddenly bumped Bai Nanyu with her body again. And Bai Nanyu took a deep breath and stopped talking.
It's the top of a building, as usual, and the reason why you sit in such a place is because you can see more things. It was more than that, referring to the troublemakers, and her sister. This habit has been cultivated since the time of Weidun City, and sometimes, she will even sit on a tall building for a day like this, like a stone statue that is really guarding the city.
Seeing that Bai Nanyu didn't react, Xiao Jing continued to swing her legs leisurely, and deliberately hit the outer wall of the building with her heels, making "bang" and "click" sounds. At this time, when looking at Bai Nanyu's face again, Bai Nanyu was indeed lured by the sound to look over.
However, from Bai Nanyu's eyes, Xiao Jing saw words such as "Doesn't it hurt to hit the wall like this" and "You're not afraid of falling your shoes and killing people". Suddenly, Bai Nanyu glared at her eyes nonchalantly, and she noticed that Xiao Jing's clothes today were a little formal, her shoes were all high heels, and her long legs were also wrapped in black stockings.
"You hit me to say, 'How is I different today than usual?'" Bai Nanyu looked at her with "contempt".
"Oops!" Xiao Jing was a little surprised, "You still understand me, and you deserve to be my wife." ”
"Get out of here, old hammer!"
Bai Nanyu moved a few times with disgust on her face, and Xiao Jing also moved over as expected, provoking Bai Nanyu like an old woman who was afraid of cockroaches but could only watch the cockroaches crawl towards her, just making an uncomfortable sound in her mouth.
"Okay, okay, no kidding. Xiao Jing grinned, and then became serious, "There's a reason why I'm dressed like this. I'm going to a banquet today, a very formal one, and the qualifications to go are from the Bad Boys Alliance. ”
"Go through the back door, huh. ”
"There is a reason for this, this banquet may have an accident, because this is a banquet for the establishment of diplomatic relations between Black Lake City and Mishima City, and Mayor Yu will go. ”
Bai Nanyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and turned his head to Xiao Jing suddenly, his eyes full of eagerness and expectation. Don't think about it, she definitely wants to follow, after all, in addition to caring about the mayor, it won't be good for her if the mayor has three longs and two shorts.
"You can't go, it's a trap, the people of the Dead Guard will definitely design it, and then it's waiting for you right there. Don't you remember the deputy mayor of Weidun City?"
Bai Nanyu, the deputy mayor of Weidun City, was stunned for a moment, and in the depths of her mind, the memories that were sealed in the depths of her mind were suddenly pulled out, as if the soul buried deep in the ground suddenly floated to the ground. At that moment, she couldn't accept the memories that suddenly popped up, as if she lived in the dark and couldn't bear the light.
In Weidun City half a year ago, some time after Bai Nanyu arrived in that city, she had been pushed to the stage, and because of her appearance, there were many accidents in the originally relatively peaceful Weidun City. Although she always arrives in time, that can only make some people feel more and more fake.
Even if most people still believe, she is indeed protecting the city.
Public opinion gradually began to be one-sided, and more and more people supported her to leave the city, and I don't know what they were thinking about - in fact, they could also think of it, as long as they understood the law of black-haired people and white-haired people in this world.
In this context, Bai Nanyu was involved in an accident.
At that time, the mayor of Weidun City had already decided to help Bai Nanyu, and hinted at everyone from time to time, telling them why they wanted to help Bai Nanyu. I don't know if people realize, although sometimes some people post posts reading the mayor's words, but they are quickly deleted.
In Bai Nanyu's situation, she was like a chess piece crumbling on a cliff, if she was gently pushed again, she would fall into the abyss in an instant. And that accident is the driving force behind the scenes.
Now that she has promised everyone to protect the city, she has been on her way to various accidents. On that day, Weidun City held a banquet to celebrate the liberation of Weidun City over the years, and the attention of the whole city was there.
And that day, Bai Nanyu was exhausted in order not to have an accident during the banquet, but after getting the news of the Bad Boy Alliance, he hurried to a crime scene. When she arrived, she saw only a few backs, and a corpse lying in a pool of blood.
And that corpse is the deputy mayor of Weidun City.
Tired, she walked to the side of the deputy mayor, and unexpectedly, a "paparazzi" person filmed this scene and quickly fled.
As a result, many rumors appeared on the Internet: "Addicted to banquets and forgetting to protect the city", "claiming to protect the city but causing disaster", "She can't protect anyone, people have been dying since she arrived", "She must have deliberately let the deputy mayor die because she advocated her expulsion"......
Anyway, of course, there are arguments to support her, but they are weak and weak.
It seems that people are very unreasonable, right? Actually, no, there are some things that they already know, and they are not kept in the dark at all.
Thinking back to the present, although Bai Nanyu was a little shaken, he still opened his mouth intentionally or unintentionally.
"But...... This time it's different......"
"Don't be, it's really different, and the news that this banquet is going to be held is very widespread, I'm just afraid that you will run over after learning the news, so I'm here to inform you not to participate in the meeting and run to find you. Xiao Jing said and hooked Bai Nanyu's shoulder with her arm, and continued in a low voice, "I have other plans, I need you to patrol the city, there will definitely be people taking advantage of the banquet to make trouble." ”
"However, the patrol can be left to you, and it is obviously more important at the banquet. ”
"You don't understand, it's actually what happens in the city that is more important, and the dead country will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they will definitely gather more people like the deputy mayor of Weidun City. ”
Xiao Jing stood up after speaking, and jumped from the edge to the rooftop, gently without a sound.
"You don't believe me?"
"I didn't ...... Why do you think so?" Xiao Jing turned her back to Bai Nanyu and tilted her head slightly, "This is our plan, believe me, this is for your good, don't come to the banquet." ”
Bai Nanyu was anxious, and also stood up and walked towards her, and said incoherently: "I'm not...... I didn't mean that, I just didn't want ...... I...... Don't want him to ...... That ......"
"Do you remember the Mayor of Guardian City?"
It seemed that Xiao Jing's words were exactly what Bai Nanyu was thinking, so Bai Nanyu immediately closed his mouth and looked at Xiao Jing silently.
"The Dead Kingdom will not deal with him so early, but if their plans change because you did not go, I promise you with my life that I will definitely protect him. ”
Bai Nanyu still looked a little uneasy, so Xiao Jing took out two pills from his pocket. These two pills Bai Nanyu couldn't be more familiar, because there was a companion who died in front of her because of this pill.
The pill was developed by the Bad Boys League in a small suburban town where their ancestors had spent their lives studying poisons and antidotes.
This kind of poison, each poison corresponds to only one antidote, and it will be very difficult to deal with it if it is confused. Because taking the antidote to another poison cannot completely alleviate the toxicity, and the poison corresponding to that antidote can no longer be removed.
This poison was rationed to the assassination team of the Bad Boys Alliance, and Xiao Jing was a member of the assassination team. In addition to assassinating with this pill, they will also use it to take an oath.
"Remember this poison? I told you not to eat it as sugar. Xiao Jing said with a smile.
For some reason, Bai Nanyu's scalp was numb, and he suddenly felt that something bad was about to happen. Without warning, she grabbed the pill and retreated to the edge of the rooftop.
"I ...... I believe you...... Don't you do that...... Not. Bai Nanyu said in fear.
"Alright, give me back the pills, I still need that. ”
Maybe he was still a little uneasy, Bai Nanyu walked up to Xiao Jing tentatively step by step and handed over two pills.
Bai Nanyu kept his head down nervously, watching Xiao Jing put the pill back in his pocket, he felt a lot more comfortable, and stroked his chest with his hand.
"Well, if you're out of company, don't come to the banquet, this time your task looks no different, but it's actually more difficult than usual. ”
"The members of the famous 'Black Death' have finally come to us. ”
In the dilapidated buildings, sunlight seeps through the broken gaps, creating bands of light under the influence of the Tyndall effect. In the dimly lit room, a wordless loneliness peeked through the cracks in the gray-black walls, enveloping the people who were waiting.
The voice of the Overseer came from the darkness, and he looked like he was laughing and feeling sorry for them.
After seeing what was in the news, they finally believed the regulator and decided to agree to cooperate with him. So, they took the postcard and found the intended place, and after the receptionist told the overseer, the overseer rushed to the place. Although it took a bit of time, the regulator was also there.
"Alright, now it's time to get down to business. The Overseer smiled politely, "Do you have any requirements?"
"Yes, if we can, it's that girl we want to live, it doesn't matter if we're crippled or half-dead, as long as we have a breath left. "The one who took the lead did not hesitate.
The Overseer took a deep breath, as if he wanted to say something, and held for a second as if he was a little afraid of something, and then slowly spit out two words: "Yes." ”
After listening to the Overseer's words, the group nodded confidently, looking at each other and smiling.
"What's your plan?" asked the leader.
The regulator seemed to wait for them to ask, and pulled out a couple of envelopes.
"Do as it says, and we'll see you then. ”
The Overseer said mysteriously, slowly handing out the envelope, then stood up and turned to leave. Even when the group shouted at him, he disappeared into the darkness as if he hadn't heard.
Now, there is no guarantee that at least, this game will start to usher in an interesting part.
